Chapter 73: Beast, do you still remember me?
In the hall.
The atmosphere is very charming.
Chu Ning picked up a candle on the side of the hall, turned his palm into a knife and chopped the candle into a small piece.
ignite.
"You can start talking now. When the candle goes out and still can't satisfy me, I can only regretfully destroy the flowers."
Whoosh! Just as Chu Ning put down the candle, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside the door, and the flame flickered and was extinguished directly.
Chu Ning's expression was somewhat awkward, and Tu Feifei had a resentful look on her face, but the next moment she let go of her arms, swayed her body, and walked towards them with small steps, her eyes full of hope.
"I promise to satisfy Master Ji in every aspect."
A charming smile.
As if peeling an onion root, her jade hands slowly fell as she squatted down.
Without stopping his hands, he said softly, "What I said is not a lie. The Blood Burning Technique was indeed released by the Liang Dynasty royal family on purpose. The royal family wanted to see if anyone could master it, but they were afraid that someone could. It is said that the Blood Burning Technique involves the secrets of the royal family's founding ancestor."
Chu Ning did not stop Tu Feifei. With his Qi protecting his body, he was not afraid of what this woman might do. He used his eyes to signal her to continue...
Go on.
"I don't know much, but I heard from the general that there are four major sects and eight major surnames in the Liang Dynasty. However, no matter how many forces are intertwined, the status of the royal family will not be shaken. It has something to do with the royal family's Taizu."
"Are you trying to tell me that the great ancestor of the royal family is not dead?"
Apart from this possibility, Chu Ning couldn't think of any other reason.
"I don't know about this, but I think the Liang Dynasty's founder must have left some tricks up his sleeve."
Chu Ning suddenly laughed and pinched the woman's red lips: "If that's the case, how dare you, Routu, use your army against the Liang Dynasty?"
"Although we, Routu, used military force against the Liang Dynasty, we only harassed the border and never crossed the border of Yanzhou. Even when we, Routu, were at our strongest, we only occupied Yanzhou for a few days before retreating."
Tu Feifei hurriedly explained, and then said: "There is no hatred between you and our Routu, and even our common enemy will be the Liang Dynasty royal family. If you are willing to cooperate with our Routu, the general will definitely be very happy."
Cooperate with Routu? Chu Ning didn't have this idea. No matter what, he traveled to this world and was a citizen of the Liang Dynasty. He didn't have any feelings towards Routu because he thought he was not of the same race, but he didn't have any good feelings towards him either.
During the past few months at the border, I have witnessed too many scenes of border civilians being slaughtered and looted by the Routu Kingdom.
"There aren't many candles left."
Chu Ning reminded Tu Feifei that he would not be satisfied with just this.
Tu Feifei smiled charmingly, and the next moment...
no?
I'm not this dissatisfied?
Who do you think I, Chu Ning, am? Damn! ...
…
"Mr. Ji, are you satisfied now?"
Chu Ning looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly. This woman was willing to do anything to survive.
"Master Ji, do you think I will do anything to survive?" Tu Feifei seemed to have guessed what Chu Ning was thinking, and suddenly sighed, "If it were someone else, I might have chosen to commit suicide."
"But you are different, young master. There has never been a master of your age in the martial arts circle. I am willing to do this."
Chu Ning looked at Tu Feifei quietly. Tu Feifei gritted her teeth in her heart, this man is really tough.
He has no sympathy for women.
"I want to serve you wholeheartedly now. To show my loyalty, I can tell you a secret."
"Jiuxuan Pavilion and our Routu have been looking for a snake recently."
"A black snake."
Tu Feifei looked at Chu Ning in shock. This news was top secret in Routu. It was only because she was in charge of the intelligence of the Liang Dynasty that the general told her some inside information.
"It seems that Master Ji also knows something. This snake is very important. Whoever can find this snake will have the opportunity to replace the royal family."
A snake can replace the royal family?
"I really didn't lie to Master Ji. The general ordered me to fully cooperate with our people who infiltrated the Liang Dynasty to search for the whereabouts of this snake. Jiuxuan Pavilion is also looking for this snake. I'm afraid it won't be long before the other three major sects will get the news and join in."
Chu Ning believed that Tu Feifei had not lied to him. Jiuxuan Pavilion was indeed looking for the snake, and the general who had been killed by Routu in the past also sneaked in to find the snake.
"What's so special about this snake?"
"I don't know about this, but according to the clues we found, this snake is currently in Wanshe Mountain in Yongzhou."
Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain.
Chu Ning was not unfamiliar with this place name. When he was fleeing, he had specially studied the terrain of Yongzhou.
Wanshe Mountain is located at the junction of Yongzhou and Yanzhou, but the mountain is filled with miasma on the Yongzhou side, so the generals dare not go deep into it.
But for a master, it is nothing. The true Qi protecting the body can keep the miasma out.
"You betrayed your country so easily and told me this news?"
Chu Ning was a little skeptical. Generally speaking, those who could become spies were those who were loyal enough to their country.
"Master Ji, I am not betraying Routu. The general's original words were that as long as the snake does not fall into the hands of the royal family, it can fall into the hands of any other force."
After Tu Feifei finished speaking, she stood up and walked to a wooden pillar on one side. She clapped her hands lightly three times, and a bluestone slab in the middle of the hall suddenly rose up.
Secret compartment.
It was normal for a spy to have a secret compartment, but Chu Ning didn't expect this woman to be so bold as to set up the secret compartment directly in the middle of the hall.
Is this the darkest route under the lamp? The more easily noticed a place is, the easier it is to be ignored?
"Master Ji, here is the list of Liang Dynasty officials I bribed, as well as their letters of commitment. I am giving them all to you now to show my sincerity."
Tu Feifei knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to take out something truly valuable, otherwise Ji Yang would not let her go.
Because he knew Ji Yang's true strength.
Chu Ning took the list, glanced at it and then looked away. He was thinking about whether to save the woman's life.
If I keep this woman, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide the fact that I have the strength of a grandmaster. At least Routu will definitely know about it.
As for the seductiveness just now, his pants were pulled up and it had no effect on him at all.
The advantage of keeping this woman is that he can learn the secrets of some powerful forces through her.
The most important thing is, he can let Tu Feifei keep an eye on Wushuang Sect and the Huang Family for him.
"These letters alone are not enough to keep you alive."
Chu Ning flicked his index finger repeatedly, and several strands of true energy were injected into Tu Feifei's body.
"These three strands of true energy are in your body. If you dare to make any unusual movements, your meridians will burst and you will die at any time."
"Of course, you can try to find a master to disperse these three energies for you."
In the end, Chu Ning decided to spare the woman's life, but left his true energy on her.
He was confident about his three strands of true qi. This was the method of attaching true qi to the marrow in the Qi Control Technique. If other masters tried to disperse his three strands of true qi, they could only disperse the hidden energy in Tu Feifei as well.
Come to think of it, Tu Feifei doesn't want to become an ordinary person.
This woman should know better than herself what the ending would be for a beautiful spy if she became an ordinary person.
Tu Feifei had a miserable expression on her face, as if a lovesick woman had met a heartless man.
However, Chu Ning remained unmoved. Under the influence of his inner energy, Tu Feifei showed a painful expression on her face.
"Women look better when they smile. Don't let me see this expression again."
"Understood."
Tu Feifei complained in her heart but quickly put on a flattering smile on her face.
"Collect all the information about Wushuang Sect and the Huang Family. I want to see it the next time I come."
After dropping the task, Chu Ning strode away. Tu Feifei watched Chu Ning's back disappear, then she heaved a sigh of relief, and the next moment she hurriedly picked up the tea on the table and drank it.
…
…
"The Imperial Family, Routu, Jiuxuan Pavilion, Wanshe Mountain...it seems I need to go there."
In fact, from a safety perspective, he should not go to Wanshe Mountain. He does not intend to fight for hegemony, so he doesn't care who the royal family is.
But he had a hunch that the snake should be related to the one he encountered in Sanqing Mountain.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiuxuan Pavilion and Routu people don't want the royal family to know about this snake, so they won't make a big fuss about it, and most likely they won't send out master-level strongmen. It's not very dangerous to go to Wanshe Mountain by yourself.
"The imperial court's reward day is three days from now. With my current strength, it is enough for me to go back and forth from Wanshe Mountain."
Chu Ning didn't hesitate and went straight out of the city and headed towards Yongzhou.
…
…
Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain.
Half of this mountain is covered by miasma. According to the people living at the foot of the mountain, it is because there is a snake god on this mountain. The miasma is exhaled by the snake god. If people touch it, their skin will immediately ulcerate, but it is beneficial to snakes.
Chu Ning came from Wanshe Mountain in Yanzhou. There was no miasma in this half. Chu Ning soon discovered several figures in the forest, moving back and forth and lurking in the forest.
Bang! There was a sound coming from the front. Chu Ning lurked over and found that two groups of people were fighting each other.
However, both sides obviously did not want to make too much noise and were very restrained.
"You, Routu, actually came to the territory of our Liang Dynasty. You really are not afraid of death."
"Stop talking nonsense. We all come here for the same purpose. You, Jiuxuan Pavilion, don't want to be known by the other three sects, and the same is true for us, Routu. So why don't we each go into the mountain separately and see who has better luck."
"Okay, let's do it."
The two sides stopped fighting, became wary of each other and retreated.
Chu Ning pondered for a moment, and finally followed the Routu people.
"Sir, this Ten Thousand Snake Mountain is filled with miasma. It is impossible to go deep into it unless you are a Grandmaster. What should we do next?"
"The general had anticipated this."
The man led by the Routu people took out a box from his pocket. After opening it, a red fruit was found inside.
"Five hundred year old snake fruit has a fatal attraction to snakes. What we have to do next is to sit back and wait."
The man placed the snake fruit on the cleared ground, and then signaled everyone to disperse and hide behind the trees.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a slight hissing sound coming from the direction of the mountain. Several snakes crawled out of the forest and slowly moved towards the open space where the snake fruit was.
Swoosh! Several arrows shot out, pinning the snakes to the ground. The Routu people hiding behind the trees quickly stepped forward and cleared away the snakes.
Time passed little by little, and snakes attracted by the snake fruit came one after another. Hundreds of snakes were cleared away by these Routu people.
Two hours later, a black snake with a yellow spot between its eyebrows appeared.
The Routu people hiding behind the trees began to breathe rapidly.
Here it comes.
The real person they had been waiting for for so long finally showed up.
The black snake with yellow spots was only the size of a palm. When it appeared in everyone's sight, it did not crawl very fast. When it crawled to the side of the snake fruit, it stretched out its tongue and licked the snake fruit.
At this moment, the dead leaves under the snake fruit suddenly rolled up, and a dense net appeared from under the dead leaves, directly covering the black snake and the snake fruit, hanging them in the air.
"Haha, after spending so many days, we finally caught this beast."
Tuoba Yan walked out of the trees with his men, with joy in his eyes. As long as they caught the snake and brought it back to Routu, the general would help him break through from a fourth-rank general to a master.
"Bring the box here."
Tuoba Yan raised his hand and one of his men brought a long iron box, which was used to put the snake. The general wanted a living snake, not a dead one.
Just as Tuoba Yan was about to reach the net, a beam of light suddenly shot out. Tuoba Yan stopped and drew out the long sword from his waist.
Bang! The long sword shot down the arrow, and Tuoba Yan looked angrily in the direction where the arrow came from.
The people from Jiuxuan Pavilion walked out of the forest.
"Five hundred year old snake fruit. Although this thing is useless, it is extremely rare. I still have to thank you Routu people."
Fu Xintang looked at Tuoba Yan with a smile. Since the Routu Kingdom had come from afar to sneak in, they must have some means. Therefore, he did not bring anyone into the mountain, but chose to follow behind the Routu Kingdom's people, taking advantage of the situation.
"It's too early to say thank you. It depends on whether the people of Jiuxuan Pavilion have the ability to do so."
Tuoba Yan raised his long sword and ordered, "Kill!"
There is nothing to negotiate at this time. Jiuxuan Pavilion will not give up, and he will not hand over the snake.
"Get started!"
Fu Xintang also waved his hand and went forward with his disciples behind him.
The two groups were fighting together and did not notice that the black snake covered by the net had a pair of snake eyes showing a human-like sarcastic look.
After a while, many corpses were left on the ground, and in the end, only three people from Jiuxuan Pavilion were left standing.
Tuoba Yan fell to the ground with a sword hole in his chest. Although Fu Xintang was standing, his entire right arm was broken from the shoulder.
"Take this snake away and leave here quickly."
Fu Xintang ordered the remaining two Jiuxuan Pavilion disciples to use hidden energy to lock the broken arm to prevent the blood from flowing out.
The two disciples obeyed the order and hurriedly walked towards the black snake. Just when the two approached the snake net, the black color in the net suddenly turned into a black light and shot out.
whoosh!
The two disciples of Jiuxuan Pavilion fell to the ground without realizing what was happening.
Fu Xintang's expression changed instantly when he saw this scene. The snake deliberately watched them fighting with the Routu people first.
Is this still a snake? Unfortunately, Fu Xintang had no chance, because the next moment, a black light slashed across his throat.
Before he died, Fu Xintang had only one thought in his mind.
"This snake is probably as fast as a master and can easily kill all of them, but it waits until they finish fighting before attacking. Why is it doing this?"
Fu Xintang fell down, and the black snake stood up, revealing its four claws under its abdomen.
This is a snake with claws.
Hiss! The black snake spit out its tongue, as if to taunt, and the next moment it turned around and went deep into the forest with the snake fruit in its mouth.
Just at this moment, a cold light flashed.
"You beast, do you still remember me?"
