Chapter 499: Shocking Change

Spring and Autumn Island.

A small island located in the East China Sea.

The only feature of this island is that it only has spring and autumn, and the temperature is neither too high nor too low. The climate is pleasant and suitable for living.

Therefore, although the area of ​​Chunqiu Island is not very large, there are more than one million mortals.

Although there are cultivators on the island, they are not many. The strongest one is only in the late foundation building stage and is only responsible for maintaining order on the island.

This island belongs to Suxin Island.

No one would have thought that Chu Ning, Tang Ruowei and Xu Ruobing would eventually hide on a small island within the sphere of influence of Suxin Island.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Tang Ruowei originally proposed coming to this island. She discovered this island when she was serving as a deacon on Suxin Island. She liked the atmosphere of this island very much. There were not too many disputes and the island was mainly populated by mortals.

The pavilion on the island.

Two middle-aged women are playing chess. Both women have excellent looks. Although there are a few fine crow's feet at the corners of their eyes, it does not affect their temperament at all.

It is conceivable that when they were young, the two women must have been peerless beauties.

On the seaside reef not far from the pavilion, a fair-skinned middle-aged man was sitting there fishing. Next to him was a fish basket with only a few small fish swimming around in it.

Many fishermen passing by smiled knowingly when they saw this scene.

In their memories, Mr. Su and his two wives have lived like this for half of their lives.

Mr. Su's family is wealthy, but he does not like to practice cultivation. He married two wives when he was young, and they have been extremely loving to each other over the years.

In the memories of these fishermen, Mr. Su and his wife and two other children have lived here for generations. Mr. Su is kind-hearted and even goes fishing just to kill time. When it is time to put away his fishing rod, he will let the fish go.

Mr. Su's kindness is not limited to this. If someone is in urgent need of money, Mr. Su will generously donate money and will not rush to ask for repayment, let alone interest.

What makes the fishermen regretful is that Mr. Su, such a good man, did not leave any descendants.

Looking at the dark-skinned young man standing on the side of the reef, as straight as a tree, the fishermen did not dare to approach.

This is the guard in Mr. Su’s family.

However, just because Mr. Su is kind doesn't mean he can be bullied.

Mr. Su's bodyguard was very powerful. Once, someone coveted the beauty of the two Madams Su and made frivolous moves towards them. More than a dozen strong men were easily knocked down by this bodyguard.

"You, don't have such a stern face. You're scaring the fellow villagers away."

"Sir, this is what a guard has to do."

"Who says that guards have to have stern faces? A truly powerful guard is one who hides outside the crowd and cannot be discovered by outsiders. Do you know what a palace bodyguard is?"

"The inner bodyguard?"

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."

Mr. Su shook his head, put away the fishing rod, put it back home in the same way, and then poured the fish in the fish basket back into the sea.

"Madams, it's getting late. We should go back."

On the way back with Mei, many fishermen greeted us. It was low tide at this time and they were rushing to the beach to pick up some seafood.

Su's house.

"Grandmaster, the latest news on the spiritual network just now is that a demonic rebellion broke out in Taiyuan Domain. Some demons took advantage of the absence of the powerful Dongxu masters in Taiyuan Domain to devour the lives of millions of civilians and thousands of cultivators."

As soon as he entered the door, the guard immediately said.

"Taiyuan Domain?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. There had been no news about the alien demon that he and Zhao Qin encountered that year. He thought that the demon must be the one causing trouble.

"Grandmaster, the alien demons killed so many people in Taiyuan Territory this time. The spiritual network is full of anger and has aroused public indignation. I'm afraid that Jiuxiao Holy Land will not be able to ask for peace."

There was a hint of joy on Ji Sanyue's face. It wasn't that he ignored those lives, but from the perspective of his master, the demon's actions were equivalent to cutting off the path to peace, so his master would not be in danger.

"Do you think this is a good thing for Master?"

Chu Ning's face turned cold, and Ji Sanyue quickly explained: "Grandmaster, I am not cold-blooded, but if this happens, if Jiuxiao Holy Land still wants to seek peace and negotiation, it will face the wrath of the entire northern border."

"You, you're thinking too simply."

Chu Ning shook his head. The most selfish people in the world are cultivators. What cultivators pursue is immortality and powerful strength, so how could they care too much about the life and death of others?

Cherish life and be selfish.

Many monks do not have a true understanding of the harm posed by the alien demons, and only know it in their own imaginations, just like the people in a peaceful world. They know the cruelty of war, but that is because they have seen it in books and film and television dramas, and do not know that the cruelty of war is countless times more cruel than they understand.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Ji Sanxun didn't quite understand what his master said.

"You will know soon." Chu Ning said meaningfully.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Three days later.

Ji Sanxun discovered that something was wrong with the spiritual network, and the wind direction had actually changed.

Those IDs that originally cursed the negotiations fell silent, while those who had supported the negotiations from the beginning began to gain the upper hand on the spiritual network.

Ji Sanxun was a little confused. After thinking about it, he chatted with someone privately and remembered the IDs that he had criticized the most harshly.

After a moment, Ji Sanxun's expression became complicated, and he understood what his master meant.

The reason why these monks, who used to talk a lot about negotiations on the spiritual network every day, remained silent was that in their private messages, they mentioned that they had relatives and friends. They were not afraid of sacrifice themselves, but they did not want their relatives and friends to die with them.

Find Chu Ning and negotiate with the alien demon king!

I don't know who started this slogan on the spiritual network, but it soon received responses from many monks. Although there were some oppositions, compared with the number of people who agreed, it was a drop in the bucket.

"Grandmaster."

Ji Sanxun looked at his master with some disappointment. Chu Ning smiled slightly: "This is human nature."

Human nature is selfish.

Having said that, there was a hint of disappointment in Chu Ning's eyes.

"Do I still have expectations for the North?"

Chu Ning smiled bitterly in his heart. He had already calculated the emergence of this situation. What else was he expecting? Ji Sanxun stood silently on one side. After a while, his pupils suddenly shrank sharply, which was a bit incredible.

"Master... Grandmaster!"

"?"

Chu Ning frowned. Now they changed their names invisibly. Although there were no outsiders present at the moment, Sanxun did not call himself sir but called himself master. If he did not change this habit, maybe one day people would find out the flaw.

"Master, something big has happened."

Apparently because he was too excited, Ji Sanxun hadn't realized his slip of the tongue yet, and excitedly said, "The nine middle regions and five upper regions suddenly jointly released a message on the spiritual network that the northern border is going to go to war with the alien demons."

"What!"

Chu Ning shook the fishing rod in his hand, and immediately put his spiritual consciousness into the spiritual net.
