Chapter 80: Ji Bochang, Die! (Don’t skip, must read)

In the yard.

Two streams of true energy flowed, and the energy waves soared into the sky.

Chu Ning and Ji Bochang stood still, but the silent contest had already begun.

The true energy filled the yard.

Liu Qingshan and Chen Jingyi, a couple who had already retreated back into the house, were still somewhat stunned.

Chu Ning has broken through to the Grandmaster level? How did he cultivate? "Qingshan, I'm afraid your disciple has an unusual secret."

"Everyone has their own secrets. As a teacher, I will not explore Chu Ning's secrets. I will only feel happy for him."

Liu Qingshan didn't think so much about it. He accepted Chu Ning as his disciple, but he didn't know that Chu Ning could break through to the master level.

He will only feel relieved and happy when the disciple surpasses his teacher.

"Um."

Chen Jingyi also agreed with her husband's words.

In the yard, Chu Ning and Ji Bochang both had murderous intent in their eyes. The reason they didn't take action first was because they were locking each other with their aura, waiting for whoever was at a disadvantage and couldn't hold on and made a mistake. At that time, they would surely launch a thundering attack.

At the beginning, Ji Bochang was still full of confidence. After all, he had entered the Grandmaster realm for decades. Even if he was still at the third rank, he was still the best among the third rank.

Although Chu Ning didn't know how he became a grandmaster, the concentration of his true energy was definitely not higher than his own.

As long as you suppress the opponent with your true Qi, and then give him a thundering blow when he can't hold on any longer, it will be fine.

But what Ji Bochang didn't expect was that Chu Ning's true qi was even more concentrated than his. When their true qi collided, his true qi was actually slowly eroded and suppressed.

Chu Ning pursed his lips. Lao Hei said that people in this world cannot absorb spiritual energy. The little spiritual energy they accumulate over a long period of time is filled with impurities and is not on the same level as their own true energy.

Finally, Ji Bochang couldn't bear it anymore.

Or rather, he lost the first round.

Hundreds of true qi shot out from Ji Bochang's body. At the same time, one hand suddenly rose up and turned into a flash of lightning, striking Chu Ning.

"cut!"

Chu Ning formed seals with his hands, and under the seal of the Controlling Qi Technique, his true energy condensed into a long sword.

“Cut, cut, cut!”

After three loud shouts, he slashed down with his long sword, and the first sword directly dispersed the true energy shot out by Ji Bochang.

The second knife slashed towards Ji Bochang and hit Ji Bochang's raised palm.

Like cutting mud, Ji Bochang's palm fell neatly to the ground.

The third knife went straight for Ji Bochang’s vital point.

"Condensing Qi into objects, this is something that only a first-grade master can do. How can you be a first-grade master?"

Ji Bochang could not accept this reality. There were only a handful of first-grade masters in the whole world.

"That's because you are so ignorant."

Chu Ning certainly knew that he had not reached the level of a first-grade master. The reason he was able to condense his true qi into objects was because his true qi was transformed from spiritual energy and was pure enough.

The true qi of these masters is full of impurities and naturally cannot be condensed into anything.

"Break it for me!"

Ji Bochang threw out several punches in an instant, and streams of true energy shot out from the surface of his fists.

Without considering the power of these punches, Ji Bochang turned around and ran away after throwing the punches.

There is no chance of winning if the fight continues, and there is even the risk of death. Ji Bochang decides to leave first. Chu Ning is too scary, and he must tell the leader. Keeping Chu Ning will be a disaster for Wushuang Sect.

"You old bastard, you want to leave!"

Chu Ning quickly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the long sword that was originally condensed with true energy suddenly expanded at this moment, and the tip of the sword pointed at Ji Bochang.

Swoosh! The long sword slashed down, and a bright light flashed across the sky over the entire Daning County. The people who had not yet fallen asleep felt as if they were dazzled.

How can I still see the shining knife in the air?

After rubbing their eyes again, the light disappeared, and the people became even more certain that they were seeing things.

"Be moderate. Hallucinations are appearing."

Many people felt sad in their hearts, which led to the brothel business in Daning County becoming deserted.

Bang! Ji Bochang's body fell from the wall to the ground, deader than dead.

Liu Junshan and Chen Jingyi looked at the scene in the yard with disbelief in their eyes.

Especially Liu Junshan, his expression was even weirder.

He couldn't even take on one of Ji Bochang's moves, but his disciple was able to kill Ji Bochang easily.

He had been practicing martial arts hard for the past two years, hoping that he would be able to withstand the mountain-like pressure for Chu Ning in the future. But now he felt that his disciples had directly broken the mountain into pieces, and there was no need for him to hold up the pressure at all.

"Teacher, what's with that expression on your face? Do you feel that you are inferior to your disciples and feel a little embarrassed?"

Chu Ning did not look at Ji Bochang's body, but turned back to look at his teacher. When he saw the expression on the teacher's face, he joked.

"Stop talking nonsense. A teacher doesn't have to be stronger than his disciples, and a disciple doesn't have to be weaker than his teacher. This principle makes sense." Liu Junshan glared at Chu Ning.

"Master's wife, the teacher must have made you angry a lot in the past two years."

Chen Jingyi was a little dazed. Chu Ning became a master. According to the traditions of their big families, once one becomes a master, one's status and identity will be completely different.

At first she didn't know what attitude to take towards Chu Ning, but after seeing the conversation between her husband and Chu Ning, she suddenly figured it out.

Whatever is supposed to happen, it will be what it is.

"Your teacher didn't make me angry, but I always felt useless. I have been training very hard in the past two years. It's a pity that your teacher's training in the past two years has been in vain since you appeared."

"Ahem, the Ji Yang who came back some time ago was you, Chu Ning in disguise, right?"

Liu Junshan immediately changed the subject. As a teacher, he still had to maintain some dignity.

"Well, I borrowed Ji Yang's identity and went to Yanzhou to join the army."

Chu Ning did not hide anything and told everyone why he borrowed Ji Yang's identity, which was because he wanted to learn the Blood Burning Skill.

The reason why he was able to break through to the Grandmaster level so quickly was mainly due to the Blood Burning Technique.

"What about your lifespan?"

Liu Junshan frowned. He didn't expect that his disciple would end up taking the same path as Huang Zhongtai, both choosing to use the Tiancan technique to break through.

Being able to break through to the Grandmaster level in such a short time, I'm afraid his life span is almost burned out.

"Teacher, I still have a long life ahead of me. I promise to provide for your retirement. The Blood Burning Technique is very suitable for me to practice. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the Grandmaster level just by burning my life."

"That's right. Any Tiancan technique is only helpful in breaking through to the next realm. Chu Ning, you can break through several realms in succession. This technique is indeed suitable for you."

Seeing that her husband wanted to ask more questions, Chen Jingyi interrupted him.

No matter what price Chu Ning paid, the matter is now a fait accompli. Compared with these, the more critical question is how Ji Bochang knew the truth.

"Chun Ning, how did you know that Ji Bochang would come here?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it was Huang Zhongtai who informed Ji Bochang."

Chu Ning told Liang Jiulin what he had heard, plus everything he knew about the Routu army's upcoming attack.

"What does the Huang family want from having these major sects?"

There was a look of shock on Liu Junshan's face. The major sects had an extraordinary status, and the eight major surnames each controlled a region, which was equivalent to being local emperors.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If you let the Routu people in at this time, aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?

Even if another power became emperor, he would enjoy similar treatment.

We can't occupy the territories of other families. If we do that, the other families will definitely choose to stand on the side of the royal family.

"The Huang family and Wushuang Sect did this because the royal family has been pushed down by the crowd and everyone has been dissatisfied with the royal family for a long time."

There was a sound coming from the door, and the burly Chen Jingwu strode in.

Chen Jingwu first glanced at Chu Ning: "You are so careful...Chu Ning, you pretended not to recognize me last time."

Originally, he wanted to call him "good boy", but when he thought that Chu Ning was already a master, Chen Jingwu changed his words at the critical moment. In this regard, he was the same as Chen Jingyi. Influenced by the Chen family, he had to have enough respect for the masters.

Even if they were as close as brothers, once the other party breaks through to the Grandmaster level, they must address him as elder to show respect.

"Uncle Chen, there were outsiders present last time, and I didn't dare to reveal my identity. I apologize to you."

“No… no need.”

Seeing Chu Ning apologize solemnly, Chen Jingwu was still a little uncomfortable, but he was shouting in his heart, "A master is apologizing to me. If this gets out, I, Old Wu, will have a lot of face."

"Brother, why are you here?"

Chen Jingyi asked, Raozhou Prefecture is quite far away from Daning County, why would her mobile phone appear here at night.

"I went to the Huang Family Patriarch Ceremony with the Second Elder. The Second Elder told me that Ji Bochang questioned Huang Zhongtai at the table. I knew that things were bad, so I hurried back."

Obviously, Chen Jingwu and Chu Ning had the same idea after learning what happened at the Huang family banquet.

After explaining the reason, Chen Jingwu explained again the meaning of his previous sentence.

"In fact, someone contacted our Chen family half a month ago, but only a few elders and the head of the family knew about it at the time. It was only when I was at the Huang family today that the second elder told me the truth."

Although Chen Jingwu is not the head of the family, he is the most promising disciple of the third generation of the Chen family. Seeing that the Liang Dynasty was about to fall into chaos, the second elder of the Chen family also told him many secrets.

"This time, the Huang family and the Zheng family are the ones who are dealing with the royal family. In addition, the Wushuang Sect, Canglang Villa, Jiuxuan Pavilion, Yinyue Sect, and our Chen family, the other six families chose to stand aside and watch. The royal family has no help."

Chu Ning and the other two did not interrupt Chen Jingwu because they knew that what they were going to hear next must be a huge secret.

The Daliang royal family was not a tyrant, nor did they cause envy and resentment among the people, but none of the Eight Great Families and the Four Great Sects stood on the side of the royal family. There must be other deeper reasons.

Chen Jingwu took a deep breath and said, "The eight great families and the four great sects have hated the royal family for a long time. If it weren't for the great ancestor of the royal family, we wouldn't be trapped in this corner."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed, and the black snake in his sleeve also moved slightly.

Because Chen Jingwu's words verified Black Snake's judgment, this world was locked. Now it seems that the one who locked this world was indeed the founding emperor of the royal family.

"What I am about to say may be beyond your understanding. I was shocked for a long time when I heard these secrets from the Second Elder. Be prepared."

"Brother, hurry up and tell me, don't waste time. If you keep talking nonsense I will scold you." Chen Jingyi said unhappily.

"Ahem, I won't waste time... Forget it, I'll just say it directly. In fact, there are immortal cultivators in this world. When we warriors cultivate to the level of military commanders, we have entered the threshold of immortal cultivation."

"The military commander realm corresponds to the beginning of Qi Condensation in cultivation, while the Grandmaster realm corresponds to the third level after Qi Condensation, and the Grandmaster realm corresponds to Foundation Building."

"The four major sects, including our eight major sects, originally followed the path of cultivating immortals. The ancestors of our eight major sects were independent cultivators, while the four major sects are sects that cultivate immortals."

"Four hundred years ago, the great ancestor of the royal family cultivated to a very high level and entered the late stage of the Golden Core. He was about to break through to the legendary Nascent Soul... I don't know what the Golden Core and Nascent Soul are. The second elder is not very clear either. It's just that the notes left by our ancestors record that it is easy for a Golden Core expert to move mountains and break seas."

"In the Jindan realm, the lifespan is 500 years. The great ancestor of the royal family wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, this cultivation is not like our martial arts practice. If the breakthrough fails, the most you will do is stop. It is said that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is risky..."

After hearing Chen Jingwu's story, Chu Ning finally knew the biggest secret of this world, or to be more precise, this blocked land.

The royal ancestor could not guarantee a 100% chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and his descendants did not have any high qualifications for the time being. In order to prevent his descendants from dying because of his failure to break through and being oppressed and bullied, he chose to relocate the clan.

The entire Liang family was moved to its current location, and this area was directly locked with a formation.

There are indigenous people in this area. The eight great families and the four great sects are the indigenous people. They are all cultivators, so naturally they are unwilling to be blocked.

But the Taizu of the royal family was a high and mighty Jindan. With the strongest men of the four major sects at the foundation-building stage, they could not do anything and had no choice but to surrender.

"Uncle Chen, I have a question. Why didn't he just wipe out the eight great families and the four great sects? Wouldn't his descendants be safer this way?"

"Because his formation needs the immortal cultivators to continuously provide energy to maintain it, Liang Taizu and the four major sects and the eight major families agreed that our ancestor would be responsible for maintaining the formation, and after he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, we would give everyone enough rewards."

Chen Jingwu snorted coldly: "Who knows that this Liang Taizu has no good intentions at all? His formation does need cultivators to maintain it in the early stage, but after a hundred years, the formation will be fully formed and will automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."

"A hundred years have passed, and the spiritual energy of the entire area has been drained away by the formation. The lifespans of the foundation-building masters of our eight great families and four great sects, that is, the grandmasters, have also come to the end. It will be impossible for future generations to break through, and they will only be at the first-grade grandmaster level at best."

"As for his descendants, this Liang Taizu left many backup plans, such as some magic weapons and treasures that can be used to cultivate immortality. However, man proposes, God disposes. What Liang Taizu did not expect was that his descendants had extremely poor qualifications. This can be regarded as retribution."

Chu Ning completely understood this time.

Because of this, the eight major families and the four major sects hated the royal family. The royal family also knew that they were in the wrong, so they allowed the eight major families and the four major sects to occupy the land and rule as kings.

The reason why the two sides did not openly fight each other was because Liang Taizu was a powerful Jindan master with a lifespan of 500 years, and they were afraid that Liang Taizu was not dead.

But now four hundred years have passed, plus the time that Liang Taizu spent on cultivating the golden elixir, he must be dead and cannot die again.

If he wasn't dead, he would have returned long ago.

However, there was still one question that Chu Ning couldn't figure out, so he asked, "Why is it at this time? Is it really such a coincidence?"

I've been enduring this for four hundred years, and it just happened to happen to me.
