Chapter 127: Not a Jindan Master from Baicheng (Alliance Leader)
Chu Ning was indeed shocked, and he was not pretending.
After some analysis by Senior Brother Gu and the others, they concluded that no Jindan powerhouse would have any ideas about their four cities.
First of all, it is easy for a Jindan expert to reveal his identity.
Secondly, most of the treasure houses in the four major cities are useful to the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators. As for the good things that the Jindan realm would like, they have been divided up by the elders before they even enter the treasury.
For a Jindan expert, this behavior is obviously not cost-effective.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance is a group of foundation-building cultivators united together.
But now a Jindan cultivator has appeared.
He didn't suspect that Lei Jian was deceiving him because there was no need.
What went wrong? "This is a great thing. No, if there was a Jindan expert, shouldn't the treasure house have been opened long ago?"
Chu Ning showed a look of joy on his face, then asked in confusion.
Lei Jian sighed: "This Jindan expert doesn't actually join our alliance. In fact, we don't know what this Jindan expert wants to do."
Facing Chu Ning pretending to be Yao Qihua, Lei Jian did not hide anything and told him the whole situation.
Two months ago, when Lei Jian and others were discussing what the alliance should do next, a mysterious and powerful man appeared.
The aura revealed by the other party made Lei Jian and others fearful. This was a powerful Jindan master.
At first they were worried that this powerful Jindan master might be seeking revenge for the disciples in Shuangyu City, but then this mysterious Jindan master gave them reassurance.
Not only was this person not seeking revenge for the disciples of Shuangyu City, he also bluntly stated that he had no interest in the treasure house of Shuangyu City.
"In other words, this mysterious Jindan strongman has a grudge against the Xu family or the Wenjin Sect and the Sanyang Sect?"
Listening to Lei Jian's story, this Jindan powerhouse was like an angel investor, investing in the Loose Cultivator Alliance and encouraging them to take action against the three sects.
Who would do such a good thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself, unless one has a grudge against the three sects.
Whether it is the Xu family, the Wenjin Sect, or even the Sanyang Gate, there are so many Jindan powerhouses. They are not Buddhist cultivators. It is normal to have grudges with other Jindan powerhouses in order to fight for opportunities and territories.
The key question now is whether these Jindan masters with grudges dare to take action at this time? Because after the sect leader and his men escaped from the predicament, the first people they suspected were these Jindan masters with grudges.
If it were Chu Ning himself, he would definitely not take action at this time.
Not much gain.
The most important thing is that he originally only had a grudge against one of them, but now it has become a grudge against more than a dozen Jindan powerhouses.
A strong person who has cultivated to the Golden Core Realm would understand this principle, and would not put himself in danger just to vent his anger.
Is this mysterious Jindan expert sure that his true identity will not be exposed?
"Fellow Daoist Yao, this is not something we should consider. Anyway, the existence of such a strong man is a good thing for our alliance. This time when the three cities are attacked, this mysterious strong man will definitely take action. We are just making a defensive gesture now."
Lei Jian smiled knowingly at Chu Ning. He believed that Yao Qihua understood what he meant.
The monks from the alliance will fight and retreat at the same time and will not really fight to the death with the disciples from the three cities.
"I understand. Since there is a Jindan expert, I don't need to continue lurking in Wenjin Sect. I can use this opportunity to fake my death and get rid of the suspicion of being a spy."
When pretending to be someone, you have to think about the problem from the other person's perspective so that there will be no flaws.
Chu Ning is now thinking about the best option from Yao Qihua's perspective.
“I’m afraid it’s not enough.” Lei Jian shook his head and said, “That mysterious senior seems to care the most about Wen Jin Sect, and he doesn’t plan to catch all the disciples from the three cities this time.”
"What's the meaning?"
Chu Ning was a little puzzled. He didn't want to kill all the people in the three cities, but he also had no idea about the treasure house.
Could it be that this mysterious Jindan master is really here to do charity and give benefits to the casual cultivators? "What the senior is thinking is not something we can guess. Last time, the senior asked about Wen Jinzong and specifically mentioned Chu Ning from Wen Jinzong. It seems that he is interested in Chu Ning. So I told the senior that Brother Yao was asking about Wen Jinzong."
Lei Jian smiled and said, "Come with me to see the senior later. Perhaps you will be rewarded by the senior."
"Thank you, Brother Lei, for speaking well of me. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
Chu Ning showed joy and excitement on his face, but he was confused in his heart. Was the mysterious Jindan master interested in him? Was he here for him?
What can I have that would interest the other person?
Talent for alchemy?
In the eyes of the Jindan masters, he was at most a genius with a talent for alchemy, and he would probably not be needed within a hundred years.
Is there anything else? Chu Ning was a little confused, but he wanted to run away now.
No matter what, he would leave first. As for meeting this powerful Jindan master, he absolutely had no intention of doing so.
He left the city and went straight to Sun Moon Mountain, without even asking Jin Zong if he would go back.
Lei Jian was leading the way in front, and Chu Ning was just about to use the Soul-Destroying Spear to launch a sneak attack on Lei Jian. At this moment, a figure covered in a black robe appeared in front of him, but his spiritual sense was completely unaware of it.
Chu Ning's heart sank, a powerful Jindan master.
Only a Jindan strongman can appear quietly without being discovered by himself under the spiritual awareness that far exceeds that of a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.
"Number Seven greets you, Senior. This is the Daoist Fellow Yao I mentioned."
Lei Jian bowed immediately, and Chu Ning finally understood why Lei Jian was so nice to him. He answered whatever he asked, and it seemed that he had sold out his identity a long time ago.
He answered every question, just to calm his anger.
"Junior meets senior."
A flash of anger quickly crossed Chu Ning's face, and then he spoke respectfully.
"You are lurking in Wenjin Sect, do you know how strong Chu Ning is?"
The voice is neutral, and you can't even tell whether it is a man or a woman.
"Senior, Chu Ning rarely moves around even in Wenjin Sect. He spends most of his time in the cave practicing and refining pills. His current strength is at the middle stage of foundation building, but with the treasures given by his master, he should be able to fight against those in the late stage of foundation building."
After answering, Chu Ning added: "However, I suspect that the three bottles of top-grade Soul Transformation Pills from Wen Jinzong should all have come from Chu Ning's hands."
"oh?"
Chu Ning couldn't hear any useful information from the other party's tone, nor did he know whether the other party was satisfied with his answer, and he didn't dare to use the secret mirror.
"If you need me, I can get close to Chu Ning."
"Investigate something for me and find out whether Chu Ning has the Lightning Pearl. This is your reward."
The black-robed Jindan expert raised his hand and a ray of light shot out. Chu Ning quickly reached out to catch it.
A bottle of elixir and a jade slip.
"This pill is a reward for you. The jade slip contains a set of formations. This formation, combined with the Thunder Pearl, can cause damage to a Jindan strongman. You should know what to do."
Chu Ning nodded: "Junior understands, I will take out this formation at the appropriate time. If Chu Ning really has the Thunder Pearl, what should I do?"
The black-robed Jindan expert did not answer. Chu Ning understood and quickly added, "I will come to report the news to you as soon as possible."
"Um."
The figure of the black-robed Jindan expert disappeared on the spot.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There were sweat stains on Chu Ning's forehead. He was not pretending, but was really caused by the pressure from the powerful Jindan master.
In the past, because his master was a Jindan powerhouse, Chu Ning was actually afraid of Jindan powerhouses, but he was not that scared. Now he understood that as long as he did not break through to the Jindan level, no matter how many trump cards he had, others could easily crush him to death.
"Congratulations, Brother Yao. I would also like to apologize to Brother Yao here."
"Humph, this will only happen once."
"Don't worry, Daoist Yao's identity is currently known only to me and this senior, and no third person will know it."
Chu Ning did not continue talking with Lei Jian. He found an excuse that he would be exposed if he stayed too long and left.
"Lao Hei, so the problem lies with this woman Zheng Qingmin. This Jindan strongman is related to Zheng Qingmin."
On the way down the mountain, Chu Ning also knew where the problem lay.
The Thunder Pearl was taken from Zheng Qingmin's storage bag. This Jindan expert wanted to confirm whether he had the Thunder Pearl in order to know if he was the murderer of Zheng Qingmin.
"But why doesn't this person go straight to Wenjin Sect? Wenjin Sect's current situation may make it impossible to resist a powerful Jindan."
"There are two reasons. One is that the Jinzong may have a trump card that can deal with the Jindan strongman. If so, I guess only your senior brother Gu knows it. The other reason is that it is inconvenient for this person to take action himself, or he has some concerns about taking action before he is sure whether you are the murderer." Black Snake replied.
"Is it possible that this person is from Xuantian Sect and was sent by the son of the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect?"
The only ones who would avenge Zheng Qingmin are the remnants of the Zheng family and the son of the leader of the Xuantian Sect.
There are probably no Jindan masters for the former, but the latter is possible.
"According to what your master said, people from Xuantian Sect are not allowed to set foot in the Hundred Cities area, and since this person didn't take direct action, it's possible that this is the case."
Lao Hei also agreed with Chu Ning's judgment.
"Let's go to Senior Brother Gu first."
Even if he wanted to escape, Chu Ning didn't dare to leave directly now. The Jindan expert gave him two objects. Who knows if there was any spiritual consciousness watching him.
"Fellow Daoist Yao, why are you here?"
West City, this is the direction of siege chosen by Wen Jinzong.
As soon as Chu Ning stepped into West City, he met Zeng Wenbo, who had a questioning look in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Zeng, I arranged for Daoist Brother Yao to go into the city first to learn about the situation."
Just when Chu Ning was about to find a reason to explain, Gu Fanzhou appeared and rescued Chu Ning.
Zeng Wenbo no longer had any doubts. Gu Fanzhou said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yao, stay with me. We will ask Jin Zong to join forces with the Xu family and the three sects and then attack the headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance."
"good."
Chu Ning stood beside Gu Fanzhou. Because there were other people there at the moment, Gu Fanzhou did not ask Chu Ning why he appeared as Yao Qihua when he was clearly at the Xu family's place.
Half an hour later, as the people of the Loose Cultivator Alliance were defeated, the three families gathered at the foot of the mountain in Shuangyu City.
Xu Ruobing glanced at the team behind her, then looked at Gu Fanzhou. There was a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes. She was obviously wondering where Chu Ning had gone.
The cultivators from the three families were all very excited at this moment. They had reached the foot of the mountain. As long as they took one more step, they would be able to drive away the Alliance of Loose Cultivators, and the treasure house of Shuangyu City would belong to them.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the top of the mountain.
"I'll give you three families one stick of incense to evacuate Shuangyu City, or you don't have to leave."
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying aura descended from the mountain. The late Qi Condensation cultivators of the three families turned pale in an instant, and some of those in the early Foundation Establishment stage were not much better.
A powerful Jindan! Gu Fanzhou, Xu Ruobing, and Zhou Cheng all looked unhappy. They had never expected that there would be a powerful Jindan in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"retreat!"
Xu Ruobing was the first to give the order, followed closely by Gu Fanzhou and Zhou Cheng.
With so many foundation-building cultivators from the three sects, they do have a chance to fight against a Jindan powerhouse. But if the foundation-building cultivators from the loose cultivator alliance are added, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Although they didn't know why this Jindan powerhouse let them go, retreating was the wisest option at the moment.
"Fellow Daoist Yao, get on the flying boat."
After Gu Fanzhou led everyone out of Shuangyu City, he summoned a flying boat and said to Chu Ning.
Although the other disciples of the Wenjin Sect were somewhat puzzled as to why Senior Brother Gu allowed a guest elder like Yao Qihua to board the flying boat, they did not say much.
Chu Ning boarded Gu Fanzhou's flying boat, which turned into a stream of light and flew towards Wenjin City.
"Junior Brother Chu, the Jindan powerhouses of the Loose Cultivator Alliance are not from my Hundred Cities area."
When the flying boat sailed a hundred miles away, the first sentence that Gu Fanzhou said made Chu Ning stunned.
