Chapter 165 Only people with no future would think of committing suicide
Raozhou!
Chen family hall.
In addition to Chen Jingwu and several elders of the Chen family, there were also Zhang Jinghe and Li An from the Shangyun Sect, as well as Liu Jianan.
The atmosphere in the whole hall was solemn.
Overnight, six sects of the Liang Dynasty were destroyed, including the most powerful Wenjian Villa.
The remaining sects in the entire Liang Dynasty were already feeling threatened.
But this is not the reason why the atmosphere in the hall is so solemn.
"It has been confirmed that these people are Senior Chu's enemies and are coming for Senior Chu."
Zhang Jinghe spoke up and said that this was the reason why he came to Raozhou.
Senior Chu's name was not unfamiliar to the major sects of the Liang Dynasty. When Senior Chu killed a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage, it caused a sensation.
However, because Wenjian Villa kept Chu Ning's identity secret, all major forces only knew Chu Ning's surname but did not know his origins.
"Is this information reliable?"
"The news came from an elder of the Lingyun Sect who had managed to escape. The first thing these mysterious warriors did was to ask if anyone knew Senior Chu, and then they started killing people."
Zhang Jinghe nodded. The foundation-building elder of Lingyun Sect was able to escape with his life because of a technique he knew that could burn one's life.
"What does Sect Leader Zhang plan to do?" Chen Jingwu stared at Zhang Jinghe.
"Patriarch Chen, there is no need to test me. Ji'an is also a disciple of my Shangyun Sect. I have no intention of handing Ji'an over."
Zhang Jinghe smiled bitterly and shook his head, showing his attitude.
"Otherwise, I would not have brought Elder Li An with me, and before coming here, I would have already disbanded the Shangyun Sect."
Chen Jingwu nodded. He had indeed just tried to test Zhang Jinghe. He was afraid that Zhang Jinghe would hand over Ji'an.
His sister and brother-in-law had already left the Liang Dynasty and traveled around, and now in the entire Liang Dynasty, only Ji An still had a relationship with Chu Ning.
If Zhang Jinghe was afraid of getting into trouble, he would most likely hand over Ji'an to protect Shangyun Sect.
"I'm sorry, Master Zhang. It was my fault that I was petty." Chen Jingwu apologized directly.
"I understand Patriarch Chen. If I were Patriarch Chen, I would also be suspicious. But now I am afraid that these mysterious strong men will find out Senior Chu's origins. By that time, I am afraid that the Chen family will be in danger."
Compared with the Shangyun Sect, Zhang Jinghe is more worried about the Chen family.
Chu Ning is from Raozhou. As long as this is found out, according to these people's style of killing, they will definitely not let the suspected Chen family go.
Chen Jingwu narrowed his eyes and looked at the two elders beside him: "The two elders, take Ji'an and the tribesmen and leave first."
"uncle……"
Liu Jianan, who was standing by, was about to speak when he heard his uncle's words, but was interrupted by Chen Jingwu waving his hand.
"Don't be too brave. Even if you are not afraid of death, you should still consider your brother."
Liu Jianan knew that his uncle was referring to Senior Brother Chu at this time.
"These mysterious strong men are coming for your senior brother. It is very likely that they want to capture someone your senior brother cares about and then use him to threaten your senior brother. If you are captured, your senior brother will be in danger."
Chen Jingwu's expression was serious and Liu Jian'an opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to stay, but he knew that his uncle was right.
If I were caught by these people and used to threaten Senior Brother Chu, and if Senior Brother Chu did not save me, I would be ashamed to face my father.
But if Senior Brother Chu wants to save himself, that would be exactly what these people want.
"Jian, listen to Patriarch Chen, there are still the master and the headmaster here."
Li An also tried to persuade him. Before coming, he had already made a decision with the headmaster to send his disciple away.
"master?"
Liu Jian'an's heart trembled and he looked towards his master.
Li An patted Liu Jian'an on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, thanks to you, the master was able to obtain the foundation-building pill given by Senior Chu and build his foundation. There is no reason in this world to only get benefits."
In Li An's mind, the reason why he accepted Ji'an as his disciple at the beginning was indeed because of Chu Ning, but after all these years of getting along between the master and the disciple, he truly regarded Ji'an as his disciple.
Ji'an was also very filial and respectful to his master, and did not look down on him because of Senior Chu.
What Li An naturally didn't know was that it was because Chu Ning had provided Liu Jianan with some psychological guidance that helped Liu Jianan get out of his dilemma.
"Master can't give you much help on your cultivation path, but this old bone can still protect you from the wind and rain."
Chen Jingwu bowed to Li An, then turned his gaze to Liu Jianan: "Listen to your master, leave now, the two elders, execute the original plan."
"yes!"
The two elders of the Chen family quickly left the hall, and Zhang Jinghe looked at Chen Jingwu with some confusion.
"Master Zhang, to be honest, my brother-in-law had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and had already made a plan before he left."
Chen Jingwu explained, Zhang Jinghe was shocked, and then he sighed: "Brother Liu is really a genius."
Was it a brilliant plan? Chen Jingwu recalled what his brother-in-law said when he left with his sister.
"In the realm of warriors, the strongest is only the Grandmaster, but cultivators have Golden Core and Nascent Soul, and their lifespan is nearly 500 years or even longer."
“No matter how talented Chu Ning is, it will take hundreds of years to catch up with this gap.”
"The Wushuang Sect and the Huang Family in the martial arts circle will also exist in the world of immortal cultivation. They may be called the Wushuang Sect, and the Huang Family may become the Wang Family."
"As a teacher, I can't help my disciples in any way, but I don't want to burden them either. Jingyi and I are leaving Liang Dynasty this time, and we won't come back unless our lifespans are over."
He understood what his brother-in-law meant.
Chu Ning's style of doing things is very steady, but sometimes being steady doesn't mean you can avoid all conflicts.
The incident between Wushuangmen and the Huang family is an example.
There are many sects in the world of immortal cultivation that have been passed down for thousands of years, and the struggles in the world of immortal cultivation are even more brutal than those in the circle of warriors. If Chu Ning offends a certain force, the other party's revenge will be more fierce than that of the Wushuang Sect.
The brother-in-law didn't want to become a hostage used by the other party to force Chu Ning to show up, so he chose to leave Daliang.
Now in the whole Daliang, the only person who can make Chu Ning care is Ji'an.
Chen Jingwu's eyes fell on his nephew's hand. His brother-in-law had left a message before he left, but he really couldn't say it to Ji'an.
"Chief, we are ready."
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two elders of the Chen family came back.
"Ji'an, live well, and don't give up as long as there is a possibility of survival." Chen Jingwu squeezed Liu Ji'an's shoulders heavily.
"If...if there is not even a glimmer of chance of survival, then don't fall into the hands of the enemy."
The voice of this sentence was as soft as a mosquito. Chen Jingwu turned his head and did not look at his nephew's face.
But everyone in the hall heard it. Zhang Jinghe gave a bitter smile. Li An was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
"Uncle, Ji'an knows what to do."
Liu Ji'an smiled and then turned his gaze to Li An: "Master, Sect Master, it is Ji'an who has brought trouble to the sect."
Just as Zhang Jinghe was about to speak, Liu Jianan knelt down on the ground.
"If Ji'an can survive, he will surely carry forward the Shangyun Sect."
Bang! Bang! Bang! After saying this, Liu Jianan kowtowed three times in a row.
After watching Liu Jianan and the two elders of the Chen family leave, Chen Jingwu looked at Zhang Jinghe and Li An and suddenly laughed, "Master Zhang, to be disrespectful, I didn't expect your choice."
In Chen Jingwu's mind, Zhang Jinghe, the leader of the Shangyun Sect, was a very good person. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to make friends with the Chen family immediately after he knew that Chu Ning would be accepted as a disciple by a Jindan expert.
He even treated his brother-in-law, who was in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, as an equal with her as the sect leader and a powerful foundation-building expert.
"Patriarch Chen is trying to say that someone like me should choose to hand over Ji'an in exchange for the safety of the sect, and maybe even curry favor with the other party to gain some benefits."
Zhang Jinghe smiled slightly and continued, "To be honest with you, Patriarch Chen, I did consider it, but in the end I didn't do it. Can you guess why, Patriarch Chen?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinghe would ask him back. Chen Jingwu pondered for a moment and guessed, "Then I will venture to guess that there are two reasons why Sect Leader Zhang did not do so. The first is that these people are very murderous. Sect Leader Zhang is not sure that if he hands over Ji'an, they will let Shangyun Sect go."
"What's the second reason?" Zhang Jinghe neither denied nor admitted it, but asked curiously.
"The second reason is that Sect Leader Zhang is betting on Chu Ning. The fact that these people came to Liang Dynasty shows that they can't do anything to Chu Ning. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to come to Liang Dynasty to capture people and threaten Chu Ning. Even if they betrayed Ji An and saved Shangyun Sect, if Chu Ning came back in the future, Shangyun Sect would still be destroyed."
"Outsiders say that Patriarch Chen is a reckless man. These people have been deceived by Patriarch Chen. Patriarch Chen is very careful and meticulous. He guessed all of my thoughts, but just said a little less."
Zhang Jinghe stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "I am the leader of Shangyun Sect, and Ji'an is my disciple of Shangyun Sect."
…
…
Capital city.
Wenjian Villa.
The next moment Chu Ning walked out of the teleportation array, there was endless coldness in his eyes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
With his spiritual sense, he had already sensed the destruction of Wenjian Villa.
He was still a step too late. Wenjian Villa was attacked by a murderer. What about Huang Xuan? Chu Ning scanned the Huang Mansion in Beijing with his spiritual sense and found that it was still intact, which made him feel a little relieved.
The Huang family is still there, and if Huang Xuan hadn't been in the villa, he should not have been killed.
The people from Xuantian Sect didn’t ask about the relationship between me and Huang Xuan?
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. If he was a member of Xuantian Sect, he would choose to capture the Zhu father and son for questioning. If the Zhu father and son sensed the other party's murderous intent, they would probably not tell about Huang Xuan.
After all, Huang Xuan is also his son-in-law and their brother-in-law.
The next moment, Chu Ning's figure disappeared from the villa, because his spiritual sense had already obtained the information he wanted from the conversation between the two cultivators in the capital.
A group of mysterious and powerful men entered the Liang Dynasty and massacred all the major sects of the Liang Dynasty.
The people from Xuantian Sect haven't found my whereabouts yet, otherwise they wouldn't be killing people everywhere.
There should still be enough time.
…
…
Daning County.
"Jian, you and I should escape separately."
Under the night sky, three figures were running desperately, but at this moment, one of the two middle-aged men suddenly spoke to Liu Jianan.
"good."
Liu Jianan nodded. These two were not the elders of the Chen family, but his two cousins. The two elders had stayed behind half an hour ago to stop the pursuers.
It is indeed better for three people to escape separately than to escape in one direction.
Moreover, Liu Jianan knew that the person who was chasing him was most likely after him. If they were separated, the two cousins might be able to survive.
The three of them fled in three directions, but what Liu Jianan didn't know was that after he fled, the two middle-aged men returned and stopped at the place where the three of them separated.
The two men had no intention of escaping.
The elders had already arranged for the tribesmen to leave. They followed Ji'an and stayed behind to buy time for Ji'an to escape at the critical moment.
If they didn't say they would flee separately, the two knew that Ji'an would definitely not abandon them and escape.
"As long as we can hold them off for a quarter of an hour, we will have completed our mission."
The two middle-aged men from the Chen family looked at each other, but the next moment, a cold light shot past, and the two men didn't even have time to react before their heads fell to the ground.
Above the two of them, an old man had indifferent eyes and a mocking look on his face.
"You don't know your own limitations. You dare to stop me? If I didn't want to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net in secret, how could I let you live until now?"
The old man looked at the direction Liu Jianan left, with an extremely cold smile on his face.
"Enough of the banter. Now that there are no more fish that have escaped the net, it's time to take this kid back to report."
The next moment, Liu Jianan, who was running forward for his life, stopped because an old man appeared in front of him.
A strong foundation builder.
Liu Jian'an's heart sank. He didn't expect that the person chasing him and others was actually a powerful foundation-building master.
"It seems that you are not an ordinary person. There are six groups of people who escaped from Raozhou City. This time, I have caught a big fish."
Luo Tian looked at Liu Jianan with a smile. The elder had already investigated Chu Ning's background.
From Raozhou.
This clue was learned from the leader of the previous sect during the massacre.
Chu Ning had taken action in the Liang Dynasty a few years ago, which caused many sects in the Liang Dynasty to investigate. The destroyed sect found out that Chu Ning was from Raozhou and wanted to rely on this clue to survive.
What a wild idea.
After all, the Liang Dynasty is in the Hundred Cities area, so how could Elder Wang leave any survivors?
When they arrived in Raozhou, they detected with their spiritual sense that six groups of people were sneaking out of the city, and he was ordered to hunt down one of them.
Liu Jian'an's expression changed. He didn't expect that other people in the Chen family were also targeted.
If the people chasing in other directions are also powerful foundation-building masters, I'm afraid the situation will be very dangerous.
"I can't fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise it will be extremely disadvantageous to Senior Brother Chu. In front of a strong foundation-building expert, I only have one chance."
Liu Jian'an didn't even dare to show any determination in his eyes, because he knew how powerful a Foundation Establishment expert was. If he revealed his desire to commit suicide in front of a Foundation Establishment expert, he wouldn't even be able to do it.
"Don't kill me, I'll go with you."
Liu Jianan spoke tremblingly, but his right hand was holding the dagger in his sleeve. This dagger was the one he kept for himself at the last moment.
"Boy, try to play tricks on me."
Luo Tian's spiritual sense clearly scanned the dagger in Liu Jian'an's sleeve, and he was delighted. This kid would rather commit suicide than fall into his hands, which actually verified his guess.
This is a big fish, and it is very likely related to Chu Ning.
Could it be the descendant of Chu Ning? Luo Tian was overjoyed and pointed directly, and the terrifying spiritual power instantly enveloped Liu Jianan.
Liu Jianan was horrified to find that he could not move.
The next moment, the dagger in the sleeve fell to the ground.
His intention to commit suicide was seen through.
"Boy, you want to commit suicide in front of me? Don't dream about it. Without my approval, it will be difficult for you to die."
Luo Tian raised his hand and was about to fly away with Liu Jianan.
There was a look of despair on Liu Jian'an's face. He didn't expect that he couldn't even commit suicide.
However, at this moment, a dissatisfied voice sounded in his ears.
"You are useless. Suicide will only make your enemies happy. As long as you can stay alive, don't think about dying."
Hearing the voice, Liu Jianan was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrongly. However, the next moment he saw the old man who was extremely arrogant before, standing stiffly in the same place, with a bloody hole between his eyebrows.
“Chu…Senior Brother Chu!”
Liu Jianan looked at the figure that appeared in front of him excitedly and couldn't help but feel his eyes sore.
