Chapter 309: Danshan Sect's Background

The first person Tong Zhizuo asked questions to was Chu Ning.

No one present was surprised.

Everyone in the courtyard already knew what had happened. Even Qi Shiyun, who knew about it last, realized after hearing it that the key to the incident lay in her own disciple.

It was her own disciple who first discovered that something was wrong with the disciple from Taiyuan Peak. If she were to investigate, she would also ask her own disciple first.

Therefore, Tong Zhizuo was the first to find Chu Ning, while Xie Jingxing and Qi Shiyun's expressions did not change much.

Chu Ning, the person involved, had anticipated this scene when the sect leader mentioned the Upper Domain.

"I have practiced a secret technique and am quite sensitive to auras. I have long suspected Ye Pengxiang..."

Chu Ning also told everyone about some of the tricks Ye Pengxiang used when he was trying to break the formation.

Zhao Qin and three other people standing by only then realized that there was such an inside story.

Tong Zhizuo did not stop there, but continued to ask: "Since you have already discovered the clues, why didn't you say it?"

"Senior, I am a disciple of Danshan Sect. I came to Taiyuan Peak just to visit a good friend. I never thought that we would go to the secret realm together. If I tell you about Ye Pengxiang's actions, it will be useless because Ye Pengxiang can easily find reasons to explain them. On the contrary, I might be suspected of "stirring up trouble among fellow disciples."

Chu Ning smiled bitterly, and Zhao Qin beside him added: "That's right. If Chu Ning had told me about this situation at that time, I'm afraid the other three brothers would have suspected that Chu Ning had ulterior motives."

Good brother.

Listening to Zhao Qin speaking for him, Chu Ning felt warm at heart. He was indeed a good brother, and it was worth his painstaking efforts to find a good Feng Shui location for Zhao Qin.

No matter what, I will definitely pick a piece of land with the best feng shui in Nian Tangshan for Zhao Qin in the future.

"Don't say anything unless I ask you!"

Tong Zhizuo glanced at Zhao Qin, and just one glance made Zhao Qin feel as if he had fallen into a cold cave, his whole body cold.

"Fellow Daoist Tong, the younger generation is ignorant, so don't worry about it."

Ouyang Tingjing spoke with a smile. The smile on his face was like a spring breeze, and the cold atmosphere in the yard dissipated instantly.

Tong Zhizuo looked at Ouyang Tingjing deeply, then turned his gaze back to Chu Ning and asked, "What secret technique are you practicing?"

Chu Ning paused, hesitated for a moment and said: "Senior, this is my secret."

According to the rules of the world of cultivators, not to mention outsiders asking, as long as one does not enter the sect as an ordinary person and does not bring a certain level of cultivation with him, the sect's top leaders have no right to ask about the disciples' cultivation secrets.

"Just say it if I ask you to."

Tong Zhizuo did not use any coercion, but even a glance gave Chu Ning tremendous pressure, and he felt what Zhao Qin had just experienced.

"Fellow Daoist Tong, my sect's disciples should have made contributions in this matter."

Xie Jingxing spoke, and the pressure on Chu Ning dissipated. He looked at Zhao Qin, and they both saw the same words in each other's eyes.

Old thing, you are using your power to bully others!

The two of them wrote down this account first.

Xie Jingxing's interruption made Tong Zhizuo laugh out of anger.

"Don't you two want us to investigate?"

"Of course there is no problem with the investigation. The matter of the alien demons is no small matter, but not everyone who comes into contact with the alien demons should be treated as a person at fault."

Ouyang Tingjing spoke lightly, and Xie Jingxing nodded in agreement. As for the Thousand Swords Mountain Master and the Liuyun Pavilion Master, although they did not speak out, their silence already represented their attitudes.

You can catch the alien demons, but you can’t take the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Central Realm.

"The matter of the alien demon is no small matter. Fellow Daoist Tong is a little anxious."

Chi Liangqing was trying to smooth things over. This was the strategy the two had agreed upon before they came. Tong Zhizuo used a tough attitude to test the reactions of the people in the Central Region. If the other party was equally tough, he would come forward to smooth things over.

"After our sect learned about the alien demon, we immediately contacted the two Taoist friends and sealed off the entire Taiyuan Domain. The alien demon is still in the Taiyuan Domain and will be captured in no time."

Ouyang Tingjing's words did not give Tong Zhizuo and Chi Liangqing any chance to intervene.

"Okay, then I'll leave this alien demon to the three of you, but Chu Ning wants to go to the upper realm with us."

Tong Zhizuo spoke slowly. He had already understood that the three people from Taiyuan Domain were guarding against the possibility that they from the Upper Domain would take the opportunity to interfere in Taiyuan Domain. Now his words dispelled the worries of the three people.

Under such circumstances, the three people from Taiyuan Domain will not stand on the side of Danshan Sect.

Qi Shiyun raised her phoenix eyes and was about to take action, but Xie Jingxing waved his hand slightly to stop Qi Shiyun, and then said: "I have made it clear, Chu Ning does not need to go to the upper domain."

"Thank you, Sect Master. As the Sect Master of Danshan Sect, you should know the dangers of the alien demons. I don't need to explain it to you. The biggest advantage of the alien demons is that they can possess people without being discovered. However, Chu Ning was able to discover the alien demon in Ye Pengxiang. The importance of this is self-evident."

The meaning of Tong Zhizuo's words was very clear. Either Chu Ning handed over the special secret method of identifying demons, or he followed them to the upper realm.

Once he goes to the upper domain, Chu Ning will definitely not be able to keep the secret.

In the circle of cultivators, soul searching is rarely talked about, because cultivators at lower levels cannot do it. But in the upper realms, there are many strong people who can search souls.

Xie Jingxing's expression turned ugly, and Zhao Qin on the side was also a little anxious, but seeing the sect master's indifferent attitude, he knew that the sect master would not speak for Chu Ning in this matter.

Chu Ning himself was in a dilemma at the moment. He had no secret skills at all. Once he went to the upper realm, the secret of the secret realm would be lost.

As for the secret technique, even if he made it up, these people would be able to find something wrong.

"I'm sorry, Chu Ning is a disciple of my Danshan Sect, so it's impossible for him to go to the Upper Region with you two."

After a while, Xie Jingxing expressed his attitude.

As Xie Jingxing spoke, the atmosphere in the courtyard became solemn.

"My fellow Taoists, I suggest that we wait until we catch the alien demon first."

Ouyang Tingjing spoke up. No matter what, Chu Ning saved several disciples of his Taiyuan Peak, so his words could be regarded as a relief for Danshan Sect.

"Capturing the alien demon is certainly important, but being able to identify the method of alien demon possession is equally important. If Sect Master Xie asks Chu Ning to hand over the secret method, my Upper Domain can also compensate him. Whether it is the technique or the elixir, he can choose."

Tong Zhizuo's words were very nice. Chu Ning would not suffer any loss by exchanging them with other skills and elixirs, because he had already learned this secret method.

The head of Liuyun Pavilion and the head of Qianjian Mountain pondered. If they were Xie Jingxing, they would also persuade Chu Ning to hand over the secret method.

This is a win-win choice.

Unfortunately, Chu Ning didn’t have any secret methods.

Seeing Chu Ning was silent, with an unchanged expression on his face, Xie Jingxing said calmly, "Our Danshan Sect never asks about the disciples' cultivation. This has never changed, and we will not expel disciples from the sect because of this."

Although the words were not made very clear, Xie Jingxing's attitude was very clear.

Whether Chu Ning wants to reveal the secret method is Chu Ning's own business.

But Chu Ning is a disciple of Danshan Sect, and he is the sect leader of Danshan Sect and has the responsibility to protect the safety of his disciples.

There was no way he would let Chu Ning be taken to the upper domain.

"Master Xie, are you so confident in yourself?"

Tong Zhizuo and Chi Liangqing's faces turned cold, and this time they no longer concealed their auras. Qi Shiyun, who was standing behind Xie Jingxing, once again held the long sword in her hand.

"Master, Chu Ning saved our lives!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhao Qin spoke anxiously to Ouyang Tingjing, hoping that the sect leader could help Chu Ning.

He couldn't intervene in a battle of this level.

When Chu Ning was drinking and chatting happily in Xiyue Sect, the two had a conversation.

"If Zhuo Jincheng insists on taking action, Chu Ning, do you want me to help you?"

“No.”

"Why?"

"We can't deal with a powerful god-transforming person right now."

"Then watch you get killed?"

"Remember the person who killed me. When you surpass him in realm in the future, then avenge me. This is what a friend should do."

"Don't think I'm kidding you. If you and I were to switch places, and you were being hunted down by a powerful god, I would never take action. I would wait until you die, and if I could find your body, I would find a good place to bury you. If in the future I become stronger than the person who killed you, I would kill him and bring his head to your grave as a solace."

It was because Zhao Qin remembered Chu Ning's words, and thinking back on them later, he felt that there was some truth in them. So this time, he only begged the sect leader for help, instead of standing up himself.

If Chu Ning was killed by these two old guys, then he would practice hard, and when he catches up with these two old guys in the future, he would go to kill them and avenge Chu Ning.

There was a part of Chu Ning's words that he disagreed with.

In Chu Ning's words, the best way to take revenge is to be one level higher than the enemy, but he thinks it is enough as long as they are at the same level.

Once you reach a certain level, your enemies will be dead long ago, so what is the point of taking revenge?

He was drunk that day and therefore forgot Chu Ning’s last words “dig up the grave and whip the corpse”.

People can change. The original Zhao Qin was extremely arrogant.

Zhao Qin is still as aloof as ever now, but influenced by Chu Ning, when he encounters someone who is much stronger than himself, he will not just rush up and do the fighting.

Tong Zhizuo and Chi Liangqing were both Return to Void Realm experts. Although Xie Jingxing was also a Return to Void Realm expert, he had only been in this realm for a relatively short time. Facing the aura of the two, he was at a disadvantage.

The long sword in Qi Shiyun's hand made a sword sound, but the next moment, the long sword slipped out of her hand, flew backwards and stuck in the courtyard wall, the sword body trembling constantly.

She had only touched upon the Return to Void Realm and was unable to truly contend with it.

Ouyang Tingjing and the other two did not intervene. From the perspective of their own interests, it was best not to interfere in the matter.

"Thank you, Sect Master. Chu Ning is related to the alien demon. Not to mention the Danshan Sect, even the entire Danyu can't protect him."

Tong Zhizuo put pressure on them in a harsh voice. If they wanted to kill Chu Ning and Xie Jingxing did not agree, other forces in Danyu would stand on the side of Danshan Sect. However, they only wanted Chu Ning to hand over the secret method of identifying alien demons, and Danyu would not stand up for Danshan Sect.

"Thank you, Sect Master, don't make the mistake. Once Chu Ning has gone to the Upper Region to investigate, he will naturally return to Danshan Sect."

Chi Liangqing also spoke up, saying this not because he was afraid of Danshan Sect, but because he wanted to claim a greater justice first, so that when other forces in the Central Region knew about it, they would not be able to find fault.

"I have said what I need to say. Why should I go to the upper domain with you?"

Qi Shiyun spoke in a cold voice. Although the sword was shaken away, there was no fear on her face. Her strongest trump card was not the sword, but turning her body into a sword.

"Master, Sect Master..."

Chu Ning felt the tension, but also felt the love of the sect and his master for him, and his heart was warmed.

This matter was caused by him. The upper realm was in the righteous cause of dealing with the alien demons, and the sect could not get any external assistance.

He didn't want to drag down the sect.

At worst, I can just take that last step. More than a thousand years of cultivation will be gone in an instant, and I can just start practicing again.

With a lifespan of 50,000 years, a thousand years is nothing.

But before Chu Ning could finish his words, a giant hand suddenly slapped down from the sky above the yard.

When the giant hand appeared, the expressions of everyone in the yard changed instantly.

Bang! Tong Zhizuo was slapped to the ground by the giant hand. Chi Liangqing, who was standing next to him, was better off. Although he was not slapped to the ground, he was also blown against the wall by the palm wind.

The two Return to Void Realm warriors couldn't even take a single move from this hand.

Ouyang Tingjing and the other two had looks of horror on their faces. They looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Dongxu!

The owner of this hand is a true powerful person in the Dongxu realm.
