Chapter 196 Why am I the son-in-law of the Xu family again?

Dou Wei was a little scared.

Because the first thought in his mind was that other sects had intervened.

This sect does not refer to the sect in the Hundred Cities area, but the other three sects at the same level as their Xuantian Sect.

Xiyue Sect, Liuhe Mountain and Wentian Sect.

Only these three sects can mobilize so many Jindan monks.

The more Dou Wei thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct. Only these three sects could unite the forces in Shanyang City to deal with their Xuantian Sect.

This thought flashed through Dou Wei's mind like lightning on a volcano, and at this moment the mountain fell down, Dou Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell rapidly downwards.

If he had not used the escape technique, he would not have been seriously injured by the mountain. However, in order to escape, he used the secret technique and his soul was damaged, and his strength was reduced by more than half. Chu Ning's Mountain Moving Seal had the power bonus of the mountain. Even an intact middle-stage Jindan powerhouse would be injured if hit, let alone Dou Wei at this moment.

Dou Wei was smashed to the ground. Chu Ning raised his hand and the Soul-Catching Bracelet flew upwards, making a sharp tearing sound. At the same time, two puppets also fell to the ground and killed Dou Wei.

Facing the injured Dou Wei, Chu Ning did not underestimate him at all and still used all his killing moves.

A centipede is still alive even after death, let alone a powerful Jindan cultivator. Giving him a chance to catch his breath would be creating danger for yourself.

The mountain disappeared, Dou Wei did not fall down, but his clothes were torn to pieces and his body was covered in blood, he had turned into a bloody man.

Facing the two puppets that were coming to kill him, Dou Wei was about to form seals with his hands, but the sound of the soul-catching bracelet resounded, and Dou Wei's hand seals stopped.

Swoosh! Two flashes of cold light passed by, and Dou Wei's head fell to the ground, followed by his upper body.

Chu Ning shot out several streams of spiritual power from high in the sky until Dou Wei's body was chopped into dozens of pieces. Only when he was sure that he was dead, did he fall down.

The soul-catching bracelet was shining red in the air. Chu Ning knew that the soul of this powerful Jindan master had been absorbed by the soul-catching bracelet.

A soul in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm should be able to greatly increase the power of the Soul-Catching Bracelet.

Chu Ning put away the soul-catching bracelet, then picked up Dou Wei's storage bag from the ground, cast a fire spell, and burned the murder scene.

There is one advantage of being a monk. When I was in Daning County before, I had to throw myself into the furnace to burn, but now it can be solved with a single flame spell.

Shanyang City.

When Chu Ning rushed back to Shanyang City, the battle of Shanyang City was over, and half of the entire Shanyang City collapsed into ruins.

Whoosh! Just as Chu Ning approached Shanyang City, the auras of several Jindan masters locked onto him.

Among them, there was an aura that made Chu Ning feel familiar.

"Master, it's me!"

Chu Ning shouted loudly. He didn’t want to be attacked by the Jindan masters from the Xu family or Shuangyu City because of a misunderstanding.

As Chu Ning finished his words, several figures appeared in front of him.

He asked the current sect leader Xiang Zhaozheng, his master and two elders.

"Golden elixir?"

Xie Shouping looked at his disciple with a look of disbelief in his old eyes.

Although the eldest daughter of the Xu family told Chu Ning about his realm after entering the city, his master still did not believe it completely.

It has only been a few decades since he accepted Chu Ning as his disciple, but Chu Ning has advanced from the late Qi Condensation stage to the Golden Core stage. It is incredible to think about it.

The Hundred Cities region has not seen such a rapid breakthrough speed in the past thousand years.

"Well, I was lucky and got some opportunities to break through to the Golden Core." Chu Ning answered very modestly.

"Haha, when the daughter of the Xu family said you had a golden elixir, your master didn't believe it and forced the daughter of the Xu family to swear a Taoist oath, but he was still half-believing and half-doubting."

Xiang Zhaozheng laughed out loud, and behind them, Chu Ning saw Xu Ruobing, who was following a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was emitting surging spiritual energy, and Chu Ning judged that he should be the patriarch of the Xu family.

In addition, several figures were approaching from another direction. At this moment, the eyes of these dozen Jindan powerhouses all fell on Chu Ning.

"Are you Chu Ning?"

Xu Hongsheng looked at Chu Ning with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. For some reason, Chu Ning had a feeling that the patriarch of the Xu family seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with him.

"I am Chu Ning, nice to meet you, Senior Xu."

"Don't think you can be proud and complacent after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind."

Chu Ning: ...

Chu Ning was now certain that the Xu family's patriarch was indeed dissatisfied with him. How could he be so proud and complacent? And this should be said by his master.

This shouldn't be the case. This was the first time he and I met, and there was no grudge between me and the Xu family.

Could it be that because of Senior Tree Demon, the head of the Xu family was dissatisfied with him? "Ahem, everyone, please act as agreed. I will go to the Xu family first to meet up."

Xie Shouping saw his disciple's puzzled expression and sighed in his heart. Chu Ning didn't know why Xu Hongsheng was finding fault. He knew it, but it was not easy to say it publicly.

"Well, I'll go to Xu's house to meet up."

Xiang Zhaozheng also spoke with a smile, and even patted Chu Ning on the shoulder before flying on his sword. Then he laughed out loud, which made Chu Ning even more confused.

Chu Ning wanted to get some answers from Xu Ruobing, but Xu Ruobing didn't even make eye contact with him from beginning to end.

"Stop looking and come up."

Xie Shouping saw his disciple staring at Xu Ruobing's departing figure, chuckled, summoned the flying boat, and motioned Chu Ning to come up.

"I'll tell you what happened in the city first. If you have any questions, you can ask me later."

After Chu Ning got on the flying boat, Xie Shouping told Chu Ning about the situation in Shanyang City.

Before Xu Ruobing entered the city, there wasn't much to talk about. Xie Shouping and others were trapped and could do nothing. They could only hold back and wait to escape.

The changes in Shanyang City began when Xu Ruobing entered the city.

Xu Ruobing was the only person who had entered the city in the past ten years. Xie Shouping and other Jindan masters were very excited and asked Xu Ruobing about the situation outside. Xu Ruobing did not hide anything and told everyone everything that happened outside.

From the destruction of Shuangyu City by the Loose Cultivator Alliance to the final destruction of Wenjin Mountain, Xie Shouping and others were greatly shocked.

They never imagined that so many things would happen in the outside world in just over a decade.

"After the daughter of the Xu family explained what happened in the outside world, she told me your plan in private. I discussed it with the sect master and felt that your plan was feasible. The Jindan masters in Shuangyu City have the strongest hatred for Xuantian Sect."

Xie Shouping explained the situation in Shuangyu City to Chu Ning. The Jindan powerhouses in Shuangyu City did not expect to encounter such a thing, and many of their descendants are still staying in the city.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance broke through Shuangyu City, and the descendants of these Jindan powerhouses were killed by the Loose Cultivator Alliance. As Xuantian Sect supported the Loose Cultivator Alliance from behind, Shuangyu City would naturally hold this grudge against Xuantian Sect.

Therefore, when Xiang Zhaozheng came to Shuangyu City, the Jindan powerhouse of Shuangyu City agreed to join in.

On the Sanyang Sect's side, Xie Shouping and Xiang Zhaozheng made some judgment and decided not to bring Sanyang Sect in.

The Sanyang Sect had not lost any territory, and its disciples had not suffered too much loss. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Sanyang Sect to join in.

"In fact, what I want is to cooperate with Shuangyu City. I have never thought that the Xu family would join in. The situation of the Xu family and Sanyangmen is similar."

Listening to his master's words, Chu Ning asked curiously, "Was the Xu family finally persuaded by Xu Ruobing to join in?"

"It was indeed the daughter of the Xu family who persuaded her, but do you know what reason the daughter of the Xu family used?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chu Ning shook his head. He really didn't expect what reason Xu Ruobing would use to persuade her father. However, from Xu Ruobing's confident expression at the time, he felt that Xu Ruobing's father should also be a daughter slave.

"The daughter of the Xu family told her father that the Xuantian Sect wanted to deal with you, and you were her Taoist partner. Only then did Xu Hongsheng agree to join in the fight."

Chu Ning: ...

"During the previous battle with the Jindan elder of Xuantian Sect, the elder of Xuantian Sect questioned why the Xu family wanted to get involved. Xu Hongsheng's original words were: Xuantian Sect dares to touch my Xu family's son-in-law, and my Xu family will naturally not stand idly by."

"Then, the elders of Xuantian Sect revealed your relationship with Xiyue Sect, so you understand why Xu Hongsheng didn't treat you well."

Xie Shouping looked at his disciple with a smile. The little guy was pretty good. On one hand, he was the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect, and on the other hand, he could win the heart of the daughter of the Xu family.

Chu Ning opened his mouth wide. He really didn't expect Xu Ruobing to use this as a reason to persuade her father to join the plan.

"Tell me what's going on with the Xu family's daughter. Should I prepare two betrothal gifts for you?"

"Master, please don't. Xu Ruobing and I are innocent. Xu Ruobing said this just as a temporary measure to get her father involved."

"You want to be innocent with the daughter of the Xu family, but I'm afraid that the daughter of the Xu family doesn't want to be innocent with you."

There was a gleam of wisdom in old Xie Shouping's eyes. How could a favored girl like Xu Ruobing use such a thing as an excuse? At the very least, Xu Ruobing should have a good impression of her disciple.

"Master, what do you and the Sect Master think now?"

Chu Ning chose to change the subject. Xie Shouping stroked his beard and said, "The three families have reached an alliance. They will merge Wenjin City, Juling City and Shuangyu City to fight against Xuantian Sect together."

"The Xuantian Sect has Nascent Soul experts. What if the Xuantian Sect is willing to risk their lives and kill us?"

Chu Ning frowned. In his plan, the best way was to kill a group of Xuantian Sect disciples and then everyone would run away.

The Yuanying powerhouses of Xuantian Sect would never come to the Hundred Cities area to search everywhere.

"So we need to build momentum. As long as we spread the grievances between Xuantian Sect and the alliance and let other forces in the Hundred Cities region know about it, Xuantian Sect will also be cautious and form an alliance. One of the main reasons is because of you."

"It happened to me?" Chu Ning pondered for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Disciple knows, it's because of the relationship between disciple and Xiyue Sect."

"That's right. Xiyue Sect is as big a sect as Xuantian Sect. If Xiyue Sect expresses its stance, Xuantian Sect will not easily enter the Hundred Cities area."

Chu Ning wanted to understand what his master and the others were thinking. In fact, the relationship between the Hundred Cities region and the four continents was somewhat similar to the countries in his previous life.

The forces in the Hundred Cities region are similar to those small countries, while the four major sects in the four continents are at the Four Constant Level.

In the past, when Xuantian Sect sent people into the Hundred Cities area, they were all small-scale operations, a bit like entering these countries under the guise of anti-terrorism.

Although these small countries were somewhat dissatisfied, they chose to endure it because they were not the targets of attack and were afraid of the strength of Xuantian Sect.

Now that several small countries have united, Xuantian Sect can no longer deal with them with its small forces. It can no longer use the original excuse and can only declare war and send in large troops.

But the entry of large troops will enable more small countries in the region to unite, so that Xuantian Sect's butcher knife will not fall on their heads next time.

This is enough to make Xuantian Sect wary. If Xiyue Sect, which is of the same strength as Xuantian Sect, expresses its stance, Xuantian Sect will have to think carefully about whether it is worth doing so.

"Tell me what you have experienced over the years that allowed you to break through to the Golden Core Realm in such a short time."

Facing his master's questioning, Chu Ning did not hide anything and briefly recounted everything that happened after Shanyang City was sealed.

This included the fact that he transformed himself into Yao Qihua and went on a killing spree in Wen Jinshan, and he also confessed the fact that he had obtained Wen Jinshan's inheritance.

The reason he was able to enter Wenjin Mountain was because of the mountain gate token that his master had obtained from the sect leader, including the Art of Standing Still as a Mountain, which was also given to him by his master.

"It seems that I really gave the mountain gate token to the right person when I asked the sect leader for it."

Xie Shouping was very moved. He didn't expect that his disciple had such wonderful experiences over the years.

"Since you have already obtained the Mountain Sect's inheritance, I will not hide it from you. The Immovable Mountain Technique that I gave you was not obtained in the secret realm of the Hundred Cities area, but in the Void Realm."

"Virtual Realm?"

This was the first time Chu Ning heard of this place name.

"You are now in the Golden Core Realm, so I can tell you some information. The Hundred Cities area where we are now, including the five continents outside, all belong to the same region."

"The nine realms and sixty-four domains are the entire world of us cultivators, and the Void Realm is one of the nine realms. When my master entered the Golden Core Realm, Zhao Yangming and I went to other domains in pursuit of the Way of Alchemy. Finally, by chance, we entered a secret realm in the Void Realm and brought out the Art of Immovable as a Mountain from it."

Nine realms and sixty-four domains.

Chu Ning actually had a guess in his mind that the five continents and the hundred cities area were not the entire world, because so far, the highest realm he knew was only the Nascent Soul, and it was obvious that the Nascent Soul was not the highest realm of cultivation, so there must be higher-level maps.

The mysterious monk Chan Yi must have come from a higher-level map.

"People from our region cannot go to the Ninth Realm. It was luck that my master was able to enter the Ruins Realm."

"Why?"

Chu Ning was curious, was it because the Ninth Realm had a protective formation? "Because the sixty-four realms have strict level control, our realm ranks forty-third, belonging to the lower realm, and can only go to the middle realm at most."
