Chapter 480 It's thundering and raining, hurry up

The hall was completely silent.

Facing Chu Ning's explanation, Xi Xiao and the others had a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Did Xiang Zhongqi really put poison on the box? They were not sure. Firstly, they felt that Chu Ning could not be so shameless. He had promised Xiang Zhongqi to spare his life in public, but in the end he went back on his word and killed Xiang Zhongqi.

Secondly, they felt that Xiang Zhongqi might really do this. After all, except for the time when he was defeated by Chu Ning, Xiang Zhongqi appeared in front of everyone as an invincible strong man most of the time over the years. He should not be such a spineless person.

It is very easy to know whether it is real or fake. Just let Chu Ning take out the box, open it and look at the items inside.

However, none of the four people including Xi Xiao dared to question Chu Ning, and those who had seen the clues, such as Lu Sizhong, would not question Chu Ning even more.

Chu Ning turned his gaze to Xi Xiao and the other four. Xi Xiao saw this and said quickly, "Fellow Daoist Chu, we are not teaming up with Xiang Zhongzhi and the others."

After witnessing Chu Ning's cruelty, Xi Xiao and the other four were afraid that Chu Ning would go crazy and kill them as well.

Although they thought that Chu Ning was unlikely to fight with the five of them after two consecutive fierce battles, didn't they also think that Chu Ning would not fight with Shen Yiheng and the others before?

This guy Chu Ning cannot be judged by common sense. Perhaps, as he himself said, he does not have much time left, so he acts without restraint.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, in that situation, as long as Shen Yiheng and others were willing to pay sufficient compensation, they would accept it and choose to cease fire.

After all, Lu Sizhong and his men suffered no casualties, and they received compensation. They were also able to deal with the elders of the sect who came to question the murdered people, which was definitely the best choice.

Chu Ning looked at Xi Xiao with a calm expression: "Don't worry, as long as you don't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble."

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Xi Xiao and the other three breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention back to the cushions in front of them.

"Chu Ning, it's a good thing you came in time. If you had come any later, I'm afraid they would have had to collect our bodies." Seeing Chu Ning coming over, Lu Sizhong didn't care about his face and told him the truth directly.

"Even if I don't come, you should have a way to protect yourself. But if it were you, you might really become a corpse."

Chu Ning spoke slowly and Lu Sizhong rolled his eyes. He certainly wouldn't die here so easily. He must have something to rely on to dare to come in. But once he used the last means of saving his life, although his life could be saved, the price would also be extremely high.

It will never be used until the last step.

"Chu Ning, how did you get in? Those bloody figures?"

Ning Feng asked curiously, and everyone else looked at Chu Ning curiously. Previously, Chu Ning was forced to stay away from the mountain because of those bloody figures, so how come he could come up again now?

"I don't know either. Later, I saw you all climbed up to the Immortal Palace, and then tried to climb the mountain. This time, those bloody figures did not appear again, but because you didn't know the safe way to climb the mountain, you wasted a lot of time on the road."

"So that's how it is. It's very likely that because we entered the Immortal Palace, the formation has become ineffective. Immortal Mountain no longer rejects you."

Ning Feng guessed. She did not doubt Chu Ning's words because she would never have thought that Chu Ning had already visited the tomb of the Immortal Lord.

Chu Ning's explanation makes sense.

Lu Sizhong and several others were chatting with Chu Ning about what happened on the Immortal Mountain. Under the guidance of Ning Feng, they did not encounter any crisis and entered the Immortal Palace safely.

After entering the Immortal Palace, Ning Feng passed the test first and subdued a treasure, followed by Yun Anlan, and finally there was a sudden attack on the rest of them.

After Chu Ning finished listening to Lu Sizhong's story, a light appeared on the cushion where Yun Anlan was. Yun Anlan's eyes, which were originally closed, opened and he walked down from the cushion.

Seeing this scene, the five people on Xi Xiao's side became excited, but then they looked at Chu Ning standing on the side, and the heat in their eyes died down.

With Chu Ning around, no matter what treasure Yun Anlan obtained this time, they would not be able to fight for it.

People like him are a lesson for us.

"You came in?"

Yun Anlan didn't know what was happening in the hall. When she saw Chu Ning, she was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she stood beside Chu Ning.

"Aren't you going to get the treasure?"

Chu Ning was a little curious. Yun Anlan had passed the test and should have been waiting in the center of the hall for the treasure to appear, so why did he come to his side?

"There is no treasure. My test this time is different. I am asking you one question."

Yun Anlan shook her head. She came to the Immortal Palace not for any treasures. No matter how attractive the treasures of the Immortal Lord were, as the little princess of the Sihai Trading Company, she would not take risks for some treasures.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of treasures, any force in the entire Nine Realms cannot compare with their Sihai Trading Company.

She came here to ask something.

"I want to ask you something. I've never heard of asking questions during a test. Is there anyone alive on this Immortal Mountain?"

Chu Ning smiled, but he didn't expect Yun Anlan to nod seriously and said softly: "The Saint Master who set up the formation for the Undead Palace has some relationship with my family."

"I see."

A ray of light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes, and at this moment, the man on the other cushion walked down from the cushion with a lost expression on his face.

No light appeared from the cushion and the man failed the test.

The man walked down from the cushion and was stunned when he saw the people in the hall. Why were there only these people left? "Everyone, where are Daoist Fellow Xiang and the others?"

The expressions of Xi Xiao and others became strange. No wonder this person was confused. After the battle, Chu Ning cleaned up the battlefield and used spiritual energy to clean the hall. There was not even a trace of blood.

If they had not witnessed the previous scene with their own eyes, they would also be wondering where the middle-aged men had gone.

"They're gone."

Chu Ning smiled brightly, and the man frowned: "Leaving? No more tests?"

"Maybe there's an emergency at home."

"Is there an emergency at home?"

"It's thundering and raining, hurry home and collect your clothes."

…

After listening to Chu Ning's words, the expressions of the people at the scene became strange. Even if the man was slow-witted, he could hear that something was wrong. He scanned with his spiritual sense and finally found a clue.

There were still a few pieces of meat stuck on the wall in the corner of the hall.

"Ahem, so that's how it is."

The man suddenly realized something, and then said, "I have failed this test. I have no face to stay any longer. Goodbye."

The man left in a hurry. Although he was not a member of Xiang's group, he was close to Xiang, so naturally he would not stay at this moment.

"You guys go ahead."

The cushion was empty, and Chu Ning said to Lu Sizhong and the others: "While I am still in peak condition."

"good."

Lu Sizhong and others did not act pretentiously. They came here just for the test of the Immortal Palace. With Chu Ning watching from the side, Xi Xiao and others did not dare to act rashly.

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Xi Xiao and the others showed a trace of dissatisfaction on their faces. Both sides had the same number of people, so logically, each side should send one person to take the test at the same time.

But when Chu Ning stood there, Xi Xiao and others could only suppress their dissatisfaction.

Let it be the last one, anyway, whether you can pass the test has nothing to do with the order, this is the only way to comfort myself.

Lu Sizhong and Tong Shouxian stood on the cushions, while Chu Ning continued to chat with Yun Anlan and others to pass the time.

…

…

Five hours later, the cushions where Lu Sizhong and Tong Shouxian were sitting lit up at the same time, and the two of them walked down from the cushions almost one after the other.

A delicate fragrance wafted from the center of the hall, and an alchemy furnace and an ancient book appeared in the center of the hall.

Lu Sizhong and Tong Shouxian looked at each other. Tong Shouxian stretched out his hand to grab the ancient book and put it into the storage bag. However, Lu Sizhong had some trouble. He kept making hand seals with his hands and beams of energy fell on the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace shook, trying to break free from the constraints of these energies.

"The Yuanqi-level alchemy furnace has already developed a little self-awareness and is unwilling to be easily conquered by others. It needs a process."

Ning Feng spoke from the side, this alchemy furnace is by no means an ordinary alchemy furnace, even among the Yuanqi it is of top grade.

If such a furnace was placed outside, it would be enough to make alchemists scramble for it. Even if they were not alchemists, they would still be jealous.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for that ancient book, it should be some alchemy notes or recipes related to alchemists. From Tong Shouxian's grinning expression, it can be seen that it is definitely extraordinary.

Chu Ning slowly walked to the center of the hall, stood to the side of Lu Sizhong, and said with a smile: "I'm here to cheer you on."

When the four people from Xi Xiao heard Chu Ning's words, the corners of their mouths twitched. This was not encouragement at all, but just a warning against them.

But if you ask yourself, at that moment just now, two of the five of them did have the idea of ​​robbing, and were thinking about whether they could withdraw as soon as possible after the robbery.

But now that Chu Ning was standing beside Lu Sizhong, they gave up the idea.

After Lu Sizhong and Tong Shouxian retreated to one side, Jiang Zuo and Zhang Ji walked onto the cushion again.

Six hours later, Zhang Ji stepped out from the cushion with regret; he had failed the test.

"Lao Zhang, it's okay. At worst, you can come in next time."

"You might as well not comfort me. Don't worry, I'm open-minded." Zhang Ji glared at Lu Sizhong unhappily: "I failed the test because of my own reasons. It was my own choice that led to the failure."

Zhang Ji did not seem too disappointed. Chu Ning looked at Zhang Ji and confirmed that Zhang Ji was not pretending to be indifferent, so he did not try to comfort him.

An hour later, a light came on on the cushion where Jiang Zuo was sitting, and everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on the central hall.

Boom! A terrifying sword intent raged in the center of the hall, forming a sword intent storm. Everyone who saw the storm changed color.

Even if they were caught in this storm, they would probably be seriously injured.

In the storm, a green spirit sword was floating there quietly. When the three people on Xi Xiao's side saw the spirit sword, their eyes were burning.

This is a spiritual sword of the highest grade elemental weapon level!

Regardless of whether one is a sword cultivator or not, everyone would be jealous of such a treasure and everyone would want to get it.

However, Jiang Zuo did not give them a chance. Unlike Lu Sizhong who wanted to subdue the alchemy furnace, Jiang Zuo took a step towards the storm, and the storm did not cause any harm to him.

Boom! Jiang Zuo easily grasped the green spirit sword, and the spirit sword trembled slightly, making a sword sound, and all the storms dissipated at this moment.

This sword automatically recognizes Jiang Zuo as its master.

After seeing this scene, the heat in the eyes of those three disappeared. The spirit sword recognized its master on its own. Even if they wanted to snatch it, they had no chance.

The spirit sword is not an alchemy furnace. The best spirit sword will actively attack. This means that they not only have to face Jiang Zuo and Chu Ning, but also the attack of this spirit sword. The possibility of being able to snatch it is almost zero.

Jiang Zuo put away the magic sword and walked back to the crowd.

"Okay, now that everyone has passed the test, let's withdraw."

Chu Ning spoke, and Lu Sizhong asked in confusion: "Chu Ning, why don't you try it?"

"I don't have much time left. The Immortal Mountain rejected me from coming up before, so it's even more impossible for me to pass the test and get the treasure."

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with trying."

Yun Anlan also persuaded Ning Feng, who nodded, "Yes, maybe the Immortal Sutra can change your fate. You shouldn't miss this opportunity."

Chu Ning really wanted to say that he didn’t need to change his fate, but everyone said so, and he knew that it would be unreasonable if he didn’t try.

"Okay, I'll try it then."

Chu Ning walked towards the futon, but before stepping onto it, he glanced at the other five people, "Who among you will join me?"

As long as one of the four people including Xi Xiao can pass the test, the remaining four will not be a match for Yun Anlan and the others.

In fact, after Yun Anlan's test was over, even without him, the team had the upper hand. Chu Ning did this just out of caution.

"Let me do it."

Seeing that the other four were silent, Xi Xiao smiled bitterly and walked out.

"please."

"Please come in, Fellow Daoist Chu."

Chu Ning and Xi Xiao stepped onto the mat at the same time, and the moment they stepped onto the mat, a voice came to their ears.

"But you came here for the Immortal Sutra?"

The old voice echoed in his ears, but it sounded familiar to Chu Ning. This was the voice of the Immortal Lord's master.

"Um."

Chu Ning nodded, and the next moment he felt his soul shaken, and the scene in front of him changed.

Everything in front of my eyes turned dark.

Feeling this familiar darkness, Chu Ning smiled bitterly. He had experienced this scene before. According to the normal process, the next step would be to replay the scene of the love between the Immortal Lord and his master, and then he would make the final choice.

"Why is the light of Chu Ning's cushion different?"

The moment Chu Ning stepped onto the cushion, the cushion began to light up, but unlike the silver light of others, this time the cushion lit up with red light.

"The test of the Immortality Sutra is red light. For Chu Ning, what he needs most is the Immortality Sutra." Ning Feng explained.

"Chu Ning is always able to create miracles. I hope he can succeed this time."

Just as Lu Sizhong finished his words, light appeared again on the cushion under Chu Ning's feet, and Chu Ning walked down from the cushion.

"If I fail, just say I'm not qualified to take the test."

Chu Ning shook his head, a hint of bitterness flashed across his face, but then he regained his open-minded smile.

"Don't comfort me. I had expected this. It's not disappointing."
