Chapter 605: The Yun Family's Crisis
Fire overseas.
There was silence and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Chu Ning stood in the air without saying a word. Since he didn't speak, Chu Cunli and the two young men naturally didn't dare to communicate.
Time passes by little by little.
One month, two months...
When the sixth month passed, the sea of fire finally changed.
The sea of fire that had been surging suddenly calmed down, and the flames began to slowly shrink. But the strange thing was that although the flames shrank, the temperature around them continued to rise.
After a few breaths, the temperature stopped rising and the flames began to dissipate. When the flames dissipated, Yun Shu walked out from inside.
After half a year, he had completely subdued the spirit of earth fire.
With the help of this fifth-order earth fire, he can be said to be invincible below the level of God Transformation. Even if he encounters a God Transformation cultivator, he can resist for a moment with the help of the fifth-order earth fire and give himself a chance to escape.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
Yun Shu expressed his sincere gratitude to Chu Ning. Chu Ning remained calm and said, "I hope the information you give me is worthy of your request."
"Senior, I did see news about Jiyun City in a jade slip that recorded the past history of Leihuo Continent, but Jiyun City had already been reduced to ashes 100,000 years ago."
Boom! As Yun Shu finished speaking, Chu Ning's aura was released. In an instant, Yun Shu felt as if he was suffocating, and the endless spiritual power around him pressed towards him.
"Senior, everything I said is true. I can swear an oath to the heavens for this!"
Seeing that the senior was getting angry, Yun Shu used all his strength to quickly shout out these words.
Chu Ning did not respond, but raised his right hand, and Yun Shu appeared in his hand. He picked her up like a chicken, and then Chu Ning took a step forward, and his figure appeared a thousand feet away, and disappeared without a trace in a few breaths.
"Uncle Master!"
The woman saw Yunshu being taken away, and Uncle Chu remained indifferent. She couldn't help but speak, her voice pleading: "Please save Yunshu."
"Junior sister, aren't you making things difficult for Uncle Chu?" The man next to him objected immediately, "The cultivator world has its own rules. Low-level cultivators must show enough respect to high-level cultivators. Not to mention that Yun Shu has no respect for this senior, he took such a big benefit, and then he said that Jiyun City was destroyed many years ago. Isn't this just courting death?"
"But what Yunshu said might be true."
“Even if it’s true, this is a provocation to that senior. There is nothing wrong with that senior taking Yun Shu away. Even if he takes Yun Shu’s soul to refine, the sect will not stand up for Yun Shu.”
The woman looked at Chu Cunli with some disbelief. Chu Cunli sighed and said, "If Yunshu had not violated the tacit rules of the cultivator world, I could still find a way to save his life. But now, even I have no reason to do anything."
Chu Cunli has already given up on Yun Shu. Of course, he was just flattering himself by saying this. Even if Yun Shu had not offended this mysterious strong man, he would not stop him from taking Yun Shu away.
Because he couldn't stop it at all, not to mention he couldn't stop it, even the sect master couldn't stop it. What's more, Yun Shu was just one of his nephews, and not one that he particularly liked. There were hundreds of nephews like Yun Shu in the sect, so one less wouldn't matter.
If he really cared about Yun Shu, he wouldn't have spent several months visiting friends on his way here.
"My uncle will inform the sect master about this matter. When you return to the sect, don't tell anyone about it."
…
…
Above the clouds, feeling the blurry scene around him, Yun Shu was extremely worried. He didn't know how this senior would deal with him? A quarter of an hour later, this senior finally stopped.
"Senior, I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you."
"Take me to Jiyun City."
Yun Shu was stunned and said, "But Jiyun City has been destroyed."
“Even if it is destroyed, there are still ruins. Even if the ruins become mountains or other cities, the location will not disappear.” Chu Ning sneered at Yun Shu and said, “Or do you want to try the feeling of having your soul refined?”
"I am willing to take you to the ruins of Jiyun City."
After hearing Yun Shu's words, the coldness on Chu Ning's face disappeared a little: "Lead the way."
…
…
A month later, Chu Ning and Yun Shu arrived in the eastern part of Leihuo Continent.
"Senior, the ruins of Jiyun City are not far ahead. It is now a restricted area."
Yun Shu showed a flattering smile on his face. In the past month, he had asked this senior indirectly why he was looking for Jiyun City, but the other party simply ignored him and was even unwilling to tell him his name.
"restricted area?"
"It is rumored that a great war once took place here. Even after so many years, the aftermath of the war is still there. There is no grass growing within a thousand miles, only deep pits."
"These deep pits contain violent energy that will gush out every once in a while, destroying everything around them. Some powerful spirit-transforming warriors have ventured into these deep pits and concluded that these deep pits were left behind by powerful warriors fighting each other. These deep pits only contain the energy from the battles between these powerful warriors, and no treasures exist."
Because of these two reasons, there is naturally no force or strong person willing to clean up the remaining war energy in this area. This place is completely deserted and a forbidden area for cultivators below the level of God Transformation.
A moment later, Chu Ning arrived at the ruins of Jiyun City. After his spiritual sense spread out, he could clearly sense several deep pits. There was indeed violent energy in these deep pits, but for him, these energies were nothing.
It is because these pits are deep enough that the energy has not completely dissipated over the years and can still remain.
"It seems that the one who attacked the Yun family back then must have been a strong man of the Heaven-level, otherwise it would be impossible for him to survive after 100,000 years."
Chu Ning knew in his heart that the ancestor of the Yun family who chose to stand with the Ninth Realm cultivator was retaliated by the Heaven-level strongman, and the entire Yun family was destroyed.
This news must be a big blow to Senior Yun.
Thinking of the arrogance that Senior Yun showed when he mentioned the Yun family, I am afraid that in his heart, he feels that the Yun family still maintains the glory of the past.
Chu Ning glanced at Yun Shu out of the corner of his eye. This kid was very likely a descendant of the Yun family.
A city that has disappeared for a hundred thousand years, it is impossible to know about it unless you are related to it.
There are not so many coincidences in this world. My last name is Yun, and I happened to have seen information about Jiyun City.
"Senior...Senior, I have brought you to Jiyun City. Can we leave now?"
Yun Shu saw Chu Ning looking at him and immediately smiled.
"Since you have seen Jiyun City in the jade slip, do you know how Jiyun City was destroyed?"
"Senior, you are joking. How could I know such a secret? The jade slip is a map of Leihuo Continent recorded by a cultivator 100,000 years ago. It does not mention how Jiyun City was destroyed."
"Forget it. My master once owed a favor to an old friend in Jiyun City. I am here to repay the favor on his behalf. However, Jiyun City was destroyed 100,000 years ago, so this cause and effect is severed. You can leave now."
Chu Ning sighed, Yun Shu's expression didn't change much, he nodded and walked in another direction.
"This kid is really patient, or maybe I guessed wrong?"
Seeing Yun Shu leave without hesitation, Chu Ning was a little surprised. If this boy was really a descendant of the Yun family, he should have confessed his identity after hearing what he said. Even if he still had concerns, he would not have left like that.
I didn't tell him my identity, so by leaving, I have really severed this cause and effect.
…
…
"That was a close call. I almost said it out loud. Fortunately, I reacted at the last moment."
Yun Shu, who had already gone thousands of miles away, also heaved a long sigh of relief. After listening to the words of the senior just now, he did have the idea of revealing his true identity, but he gave up the idea at the last moment.
Regardless of whether the words of this senior are true or false, even if they are true, what does it matter? If my ancestor and the other party's master and master really have such a cause and effect, why haven't we seen anyone from the other party's master in the past 100,000 years? If they really care about this matter, they would have shown up long ago.
Yun Shu even thought of the worst possible scenario, that this person's master might know some secrets of their Yun family and wanted to get something from the descendants of their Yun family.
It is impossible to get the treasure. The Yun family’s treasures have been used up over the years, but the ancestors who survived back then did bring some of the Yun family’s magic skills. Maybe the other party was fighting for this purpose.
"I have obtained the fifth-level earth fire, which can resolve the family's crisis this time. Compared to putting hope in the hands of others, it is better for me to control it myself. At least this is safer."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yun Shu muttered something softly, then changed direction and headed to the left, his speed being several times faster than before.
…
…
Le Ning City.
The ruins of Jiyun City were hundreds of thousands of miles away, and it took Yun Shu three days to get there.
This is where the Yun family is currently based.
Lening City is a new city that was built just over a thousand years ago, and the Yun family is the overlord of Lening City.
A thousand-year-old new city is nothing in Leihuo Continent, but for some Nascent Soul cultivators, a city that has existed for a thousand years is enough to make them excited.
As soon as he entered the city, Yun Shu spread out his spiritual awareness. The next moment, his expression changed instantly, and he exerted his maximum speed, heading towards the east of the city.
The Yun family in the east of the city.
The gate was filled with the smell of blood, and there were several corpses lying on the ground.
"Who is so presumptuous in my Yun family?"
Seeing this scene, Yun Shu bared his teeth and roared.
In the square of the Yun Family Courtyard, many of the Yun Family members, who originally had expressions of grief and indignation on their faces, showed expressions of joy when they heard the voice.
"It's Elder Yun Shu who's back!"
"Elder Yun Shu is back, our Yun family is saved."
Opposite the Yun family stood two late Nascent Soul masters. One of the middle-aged men whispered to the young man in brocade clothes in the middle, “Mr. Li, Yun Shu is the strongest cultivator of this generation of the Yun family, but he left the Yun family two hundred years ago. It is said that he joined a sect in Leihuozhou.”
"Really?"
The man in brocade clothes was nonchalant and didn't take Yun Shu seriously at all.
"Wang family, Chen family...it's you!"
Yun Shu appeared in the square and looked at the person opposite him with anger in his eyes.
The Wang family and the Chen family are not from Lening City, but from two cities near Lening City. However, ten years ago, a thunderstorm occurred and destroyed the cities where these two families were located.
Not long ago, he received a jade slip from the clan leader, and learned that the Wang and Chen families had lost their cities and were eyeing Lening City. They also issued an ultimatum to the Yun family, demanding that the Yun family give up their territory in Lening City.
The Yun family is not afraid of the Wang family and the Chen family alone, but if these two families join forces, the Yun family will no longer be their match.
What he knew even more clearly was that in Leihuo Continent, fighting for a city would definitely result in the complete destruction of one side. Even if the Yun family agreed to give up Lening City, the Wang family and the Chen family would not give up, but would cut the grass and root out to prevent the Yun family from retaliating in the future.
The reason why they had to give them the news about the Yun family in advance was to judge the strength of the Yun family. If the patriarch had been softer in his attitude, I'm afraid the two families would have taken action on the same day.
After getting the news, he began to think about how to break the impasse, and finally planned to obtain the fifth-level earth fire. With the fifth-level earth fire, he would be able to suppress the Chen family and the Wang family.
Originally, there was plenty of time, but they didn't expect to encounter an accident, and they didn't expect that the Chen family and the Wang family had already taken action. Looking at the corpses of many clansmen in the square, Yun Shu's face was filled with endless anger.
"If you offend the Yun family, both of you will pay the price!"
Yun Shu formed seals with his hands, and flames appeared on his hands. At this point there was no room for easing the situation. Today, either these two families would be destroyed, or their Yun family would be destroyed.
"Earth fire?"
Seeing the flame in Yun Shu's hand, the two late Nascent Soul cultivators from the Chen and Wang families had fear in their eyes.
"It's the fifth-order earth fire. Yun Shu has obtained the fifth-order earth fire. Our Yun family is saved."
The head of the Yun family felt the temperature of the flame in Yun Shu's hand, and excitement appeared on his old face. Although he was also in the late Nascent Soul stage, he was already very old. If he didn't care about his life, he could barely hold back the person on the opposite side. However, the realm Yun Shu showed was only the middle Nascent Soul stage, and he was still a little worried.
But now that he saw the fifth-level earth fire, his worries completely dissipated. Although he didn't know how Yun Shu subdued the fifth-level earth fire, with a fifth-level earth fire, Yun Shu could completely suppress the head of the Wang family or the Chen family.
The Yun family is saved! "Fifth-order Earth Fire?"
The man in brocade clothes, who had been nonchalant, showed great interest when he saw the flame in Yun Shu's hand: "It just so happens that I am in need of such a fire."
"Yun Shu, right? Give this Earth Fire to me, and I will let your Yun family continue to own Lening City for a hundred years."
"Mr. Li!"
“No!”
As soon as the man in brocade clothes finished speaking, the heads of the Wang and Chen families immediately objected loudly, but under the stern gaze of the man in brocade clothes, the two could only smile angrily.
They can't afford to offend this Mr. Li.
Yun Shu looked at the other party. From the reactions of the heads of the Wang and Chen families, he could be sure that this "Young Master Li" was probably of extraordinary origin. At the very least, he had a powerful God Transformation master backing him up.
But this underground fire will be related to his future cultivation and the revival of the Yun family, and a hundred years is nothing.
“Sorry, I won’t give this earth fire to anyone.” Yun Shu said.
"Humph, if that's the case then I'll come and get it myself!"
