Chapter 527 The Storm is Coming
The next day.
There was a lot of commotion on Liuyun Mountain, and many monks from Qiyun Tower appeared.
“Swish!”
The cave was filled with restrictions, and Xiaobai floated in.
"What's the matter?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Jing Yichuan's matter."
Xiao Bai said, "Jing Yichuan is an inner sect disciple of Qiyun Tower. He has a high status in Qiyun Tower. His life token was broken a few days ago. Qiyun Tower has been investigating the matter and is still investigating it very closely recently."
"snort……"
Ning Daoran smiled faintly: "Why don't you check my cave?"
Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile: "How can we casually check the cave of a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage? The people from Qiyun Tower directly bypassed our cave."
Ning Daoran was amused and ignored it.
It seems that Jing Yichuan's status in Qiyun Tower is not very high.
…
As a result, the days of cultivation in Dongming City were extremely peaceful, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yipintang, the most famous teahouse in the city.
In the private room near the window, Ning Daoran and Ji Ning sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting about some things about cultivation. Although Ji Ning was already in the Golden Core stage, Ning Daoran's few words could always easily clear the confusion for Ji Ning, which was of great help to her cultivation.
"I heard about the Beast Taming Sect."
Ji Ning pursed her red lips and said, "The Five-Colored Deer Calling Art that you requested is indeed the Beast Taming Sect's unique martial art. But even so, Senior Ning saved Lu Wenyao's life, and this favor should be worth a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art. The Beast Taming Sect is too petty to do this."
"No further explanation is needed on this matter."
Ning Daoran looked indifferent: "Lu Wenyao can't make the decision. This matter still depends on Lu Yunzhou's attitude. By the way, I have just arrived in Dongming City not long ago. This Lu Yunzhou..."
Ji Ning smiled dimples and changed to voice transmission, "Senior Ning, you may not know that Lu Yunzhou has already become one of the martial immortals of Sangyu Country at a young age. He was promoted to the Hunyuan Realm several decades ago and was appointed by the Emperor of Sangyu Country as the Hunzhou Martial God to guard the Hunzhou area. Both the mountain warriors and the immortal cultivators are extremely wary of this Hunzhou Martial God."
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Lu Yunzhou is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Unless the senior can overwhelm him with his cultivation, he will never give in easily."
"I see."
Ning Daoran nodded and said nothing more.
Soon after, bursts of explosions were heard in the air.
"Um?"
Ning Daoran and Ji Ning looked together and saw that a corner of the restriction outside the sky of Dongming City had been opened, emitting a blue light. In the gap that had just opened, a number of spirit boats were crossing and sailing into the territory of Dongming City.
“Dongdongdong~~~”
The sound of drums rumbled, and on the four giant spirit boats in the lead, vigorous warriors beat the drums. The loud noise spread throughout the fairy city. The sixteen spirit boats on both sides had flags waving, looking extremely majestic.
"Who is that person, with such a grand ceremony?" Ji Ning was surprised.
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes, and when he released his Nascent Soul consciousness, he sensed the aura of the middle Nascent Soul stage emanating from a spirit boat in the middle.
"National Master, the fleet has arrived at Dongming City!"
A Jindan guard was kneeling outside the cabin, looking extremely respectful.
"Um."
A rather feminine voice was heard from inside the cabin, followed by a figure in a purple robe walking out. It was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who had a "slender" figure and looked frail.
Ning Daoran frowned. This man had a very handsome appearance. He was somewhat similar to those handsome boys who were very popular among women in his previous life. However, this man had a strong magical power and was not as weak as those handsome boys.
"Hmph, Dongming City..."
The feminine monk put his hands behind his back, released his spiritual sense, and patrolled the entire Dongming City at will.
"Um?"
The next second, his eyes fell on Ning Daoran and Ji Ning who were drinking tea in Yipin Building.
Ning Daoran did not hide his cultivation level, and the magic power released by him in the early Nascent Soul stage was extremely strong.
"snort!"
The feminine man sneered and ignored him.
He really didn't take a mere Yuanying early stage seriously.
"No need to delay, go directly to the Martial God Pavilion. Hunzhou Martial God Lu Yunzhou must have been waiting for a long time."
"Yes, Imperial Master!"
In the air, a fleet roared past, with dozens of spirit boats in total, and the scene was quite grand.
…
"Who is that person?" Ning Daoran asked in a voice transmission.
"The Imperial Master of Sangyu Country."
Ji Ning frowned slightly: "I have only heard of this person, but I didn't expect that this national teacher would come to Dongming City. It seems that Dongming City is likely to be in trouble."
"Why?" Ning Daoran was surprised.
"Senior is not familiar with this place and may not understand it well."
Ji Ning patiently explained: "There are two major forces in Dongming City. The Martial God Pavilion and the Beast Taming Sect are one faction, and the Qiyun Tower is another faction. Although the two sides appear to get along harmoniously, in fact, they have long been at loggerheads with each other, competing for the resources of Dongming City and the Xingyun Mountains.
It is said that this national teacher is extremely greedy and vicious. He came to Dongming City at this time, most likely to support the Martial God Pavilion. Once the balance between the two major forces in Dongming City is broken, it will inevitably lead to a chaos. "
“There is some truth to that.”
Ning Daoran nodded: "Ji Ning, the Qingxuefang where you are is the property of Qiyun Tower. The dispute between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower may have a great impact on you. What are your plans?"
"I……"
Ji Ning pursed her red lips and said, "To be honest with you, Senior Ning, although Ji Ning is the owner of Qingxiefang, in fact, he is just a general manager, not a backstage boss. He is just helping others. If this turmoil really affects Qingxiefang, Ji Ning will have no choice but to follow Senior Ning to protect himself."
"good."
Ning Daoran smiled and nodded: "If there is chaos, you can quickly come to my cave, no one dares to touch you."
"good!"
Ji Ning smiled sweetly, with a charming look between her eyebrows.
“You two!”
At this time, the restriction in the private room was volatile, and a great monk in the late Jindan stage wearing a gray robe appeared outside and said respectfully, "Excuse me, Senior Ning! Master Ji, the owner of the building is summoning all the managers. Please go to the main hall of Qiyun Building."
"good."
Ji Ning nodded, and then sent a message to Ning Daoran: "This person is Jing Yu, the chief steward of Qiyun Tower. It seems that the arrival of the National Master in Dongming City is indeed going to stir up trouble. After all, I am still the owner of Qingxiefang. I will go there right away. Senior, don't worry."
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"yes!"
After Ji Ning left, Ning Daoran also left Yipin Pavilion. On the way back to Liuyun Mountain, his body suddenly twisted and he disappeared into the night.
…
Late at night, Martial God Pavilion.
Ning Daoran restrained his breath and used wood escape to hide inside an apricot tree in the Martial God Pavilion.
Not far away, in a spacious hall, the Imperial Master and Lu Yunzhou were drinking spiritual tea, each thinking about different things.
"Lu Wushen."
The Imperial Master blew away the hot air in the teacup and said with a smile, "Since I am able to come to Hunzhou in person this time, I think Lu Wushen should understand what Your Majesty means, right?"
"I am terrified!"
Lu Yunzhou clasped his fists and bowed his head: "I am a warrior, a rough man, and I may not fully understand your majesty's meaning. Please tell me what to do about this matter, Master!"
"snort!"
The Imperial Master took out a golden object and placed it on the table, saying, "This is an imperial decree from His Majesty. It only has one sentence, which is to confer the Liuyun Mountain, a property of Qiyun Tower, on Wushen Pavilion. Once the imperial decree is issued, Liuyun Mountain will belong to Lu Wushen. Qiyun Tower will also be informed of this matter, and Lu Wushen can send someone to take over Liuyun Mountain in a few days."
"yes!"
Lu Yunzhou's face flashed with excitement, but then he became worried again: "Master, what if Qiyun Tower refuses to hand over Liuyun Mountain?"
"What else can I do?"
The Imperial Master sneered, "Qiyun Tower was originally just a family of immortal cultivators, but it has grown so large that it has already escaped the control of the imperial court. The annual tributes from the imperial court are often withheld. Humph... Does Lu Wushen want to watch Qiyun Tower grow bigger and bigger until it becomes unmanageable?"
"this……"
Lu Yunzhou's face was full of complexion: "What the Imperial Master meant is..."
"Don't ask me, the imperial decree is here, His Majesty will make the decision for you, why do you have to worry anymore!"
"yes!"
Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "I understand, Master. Please rest assured! Once a giant like Qiyun Tower falls, it will be like a whale falling, and all things will be born. Master, rest assured, your share will not fall to others."
"snort!"
The Imperial Master smiled faintly and began to savor the spiritual tea.
Among the apricot trees, Ning Daoran floated away.
It seems that Dongming City is really going to be in chaos.
He was speechless. Could he really be some kind of chaotic holy body that caused chaos wherever he went? ...
A few days later, the news that the imperial teacher came to Dongming City and gave the Liuyun Mountain, a property owned by Qiyun Tower, to Wushen Pavilion with an imperial decree spread throughout the fairy city. For a time, the whole Dongming City became precarious.
Although Qiyun Tower nominally accepted the order, it actually did not make any concessions. The Liuyun Mountain formation was activated and martial law was imposed. Every day, quarrels between the monks of Wushen Pavilion and Qiyun Tower could be heard from outside. Some young monks even couldn't control their temper and started fighting.
Afternoon.
Shuiyunxuan.
Ning Daoran, wearing a dark red gown, went to buy talismans accompanied by Ji Ning.
The result was quite disappointing. The best talisman in Shuiyunxuan was only of the third-grade upper grade. There was not even a fourth-grade talisman in the entire shop. Ning Daoran was filled with emotion for a moment.
A talent for talismans like Lin Man is indeed in great demand. Now, she should be able to refine a fourth-level mid-grade or even a fourth-level high-grade talisman, right? It's just a pity that she's not around!
"Senior Ning."
The shopkeeper's face was full of apology: "These are all the best talismans we have in our shop. Ahem... I'm sorry, senior."
"No problem."
Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do recently, so it's okay to just hang out here."
"good!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely pleased. This great monk in the Nascent Soul stage was indeed very approachable!
But at this moment, there were sudden explosions outside Shuiyunxuan, followed by a "hum" as a formation protecting the store rose up and enveloped the entire Shuiyunxuan.
"Shopkeeper!"
A late foundation building cultivator flew over and said, "A large number of robber cultivators suddenly appeared outside and are attacking the store!"
"What?"
The shopkeeper's brows were furrowed.
Ning Daoran was speechless. Attacking a shop in broad daylight, has Dongming City become so chaotic now? (End of this chapter)
