Chapter 81: Watching the War

He endured it for four hundred years, but then he exploded after he traveled through time.

Do I really have the physique of a protagonist?

Chu Ning muttered in his heart, and Chen Jingwu pondered: "I also asked the second elder, and the second elder said that there is an opportunity now. If it weren't for this opportunity, everyone would still endure the royal family."

"What opportunity?"

"It has something to do with Huang Zhongtai. The Second Elder didn't tell me the details. I'm just a junior, and it's great that the Second Elder could tell me this."

Chen Jingwu spread his hands. If he wasn't the best of the third generation of the Chen family, the second elder wouldn't even tell him these.

Is it related to Huang Zhongtai? That's why Ji Bochang let Huang Zhongtai go so easily, not only because other sects came to the rescue, but also because Ji Bochang is an insider.

Chu Ning regretted killing Ji Bochang, but his principle in fighting was to either not take action or kill the enemy directly if he did.

At least we can still know how Ji Bochang discovered the truth. If we want to know now, we can probably only ask Huang Zhongtai.

Reflect on this, and don’t kill anyone if you feel it is necessary in the future.

"I think what we should consider now is how to end the current situation."

Chen Jingyi saw that the three men were lost in thought, so she spoke to call their attention back.

Ji Bochang is not one of the other disciples of Wushuang Sect. He is an elder. There are four elders and the sect master in the entire Wushuang Sect, which makes five masters in total.

Now that an elder has died, Wushuang Sect will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Leave Ji Bochang's matter to me. He came here alone, so just treat him as a mysterious strong man encountered on the way. Don't forget that the outside world has always been rumored that there is a mysterious strong man targeting Wushuang Sect, and there are also rumors that the mysterious strong man may be a master."

"Perhaps this mysterious strong man has been secretly watching Ji Bochang for a long time, and took this opportunity to kill Ji Bochang."

When he said this, Chen Jingwu looked at Chu Ning meaningfully. Now the truth has come out.

The mysterious strong man who specifically targeted the Wushuang Sect was Chu Ning himself.

"The Wushuang Sect is now going to war with the royal family. They will not choose this time to confront our Chen family. As long as they bite them to death, the elders of the clan will not sit idly by."

Chen Jingwu's identity is different from Huang Zhongtai's. Although Huang Zhongtai is the head of the family, the elders of the Huang family do not have much affection for Huang Zhongtai.

Chen Jingwu is an outstanding young man of the Chen family. He grew up step by step under the supervision of the elders of the Chen family, and they also gave him guidance during this period.

Chu Ning understood immediately that with the strength of the teacher and his wife, it was obvious that they could not kill Ji Bochang.

If the Chen family supports it, Wushuangmen can only suppress the matter temporarily.

After all, the Chen family also has four masters. When the war is about to begin, Wushuangmen has no reason to create an enemy like the Chen family.

As long as you give yourself time to develop, it will be okay even if the truth is revealed later.

"Wushuangmen was able to find out that Ji Bochang died in Daning County, so Chu Ning, you will have to put on a show later."

Chu Ning nodded. He now understood how Wushuang Sect was able to find out where its disciples died. He guessed that it was a method left behind by the original foundation-building cultivators of Wushuang Sect.

But this positioning is not precise and cannot be directly located in the yard.

It can only be the area around my teacher's yard.

Next, Chu Ning and his team began to clean up the scene.

The so-called cleaning the scene means moving away the bodies killed by Ji Bochang. If the Wushuang Sect investigates, they will say that Ji Bochang was attacked by a mysterious strong man as soon as he arrived in the yard, and Ji Bochang went to track down that mysterious strong man.

Afterwards, Chu Ning used his true Qi to cause huge damage in an open area hundreds of meters away. Anyone from the Wushuang Sect who had been here would find that this was a battle at the grandmaster level.

Moreover, the noise of destruction was noticed by half of the people in Daning County.

As for the few disciples of Wushuang Sect who were originally guarding Daning County, they left half a month ago.

These people were lucky, otherwise Chu Ning would have to kill a few more people.

After doing all this, Chu Ning and the other three checked again and again to confirm that there were no loopholes before stopping.

"Chu Ning, where are you going next?" Chen Jingwu asked curiously.

"Find a place to accompany old aunt. The war is about to start, so it's better to be calm."

Chu Ning replied with a smile that this was indeed his current plan.

I won’t go to the capital.

Since we know that the royal family's great ancestor is so powerful, who knows if he has left any backup plans? I think the four major sects and the eight great families have been able to endure until now because of this consideration.

Perhaps this is the reason why forces like the Chen family choose to wait and see.

Sects like Wushuang Sect dared to join forces with Routu to attack the royal family. I think they must have a trump card. In such a big war, if a master like me was involved, I might be crushed.

Just stay here quietly for now. Anyway, you won't be affected by the scarcity of spiritual energy in this world. As for Huang Zhongtai, you should remember the grudge against him first.

"Change place?" Chen Jingwu said with a smile: "Actually, you can go to Raozhou Prefecture. That is the territory of my Chen family. You don't have to worry about anything if you stay there."

Chen Jingwu had some selfish motives in making this suggestion.

This war is obviously a major reshuffle, and their Chen family may not be unaffected.

Given Chu Ning's strength and his relationship with his sister, if the critical moment really comes, he might come up with a surprising trick.

"good."

Chu Ning agreed very readily. He also knew that Chen Jingwu had some selfish motives in inviting him to Raozhou.

But the master's wife is a member of the Chen family. If the Chen family really encountered trouble, the teacher would not stand idly by. As a disciple, could I just watch the teacher and the master's wife get into trouble? Besides, going to Raozhou is indeed the safest. Other places have their wanted posters posted, but under Chen Jingwu's operation, this thing is like a decoration.

…

…

In Liu Da's yard.

Liu Da was standing in the yard in fear. A quarter of an hour ago, there was a huge noise coming from Daning County, like thunder.

The first thing he did was to come here and guard the old man to prevent him from being frightened.

It has been almost two years, and he finally understands why Captain Chu left and left the old man here.

Captain Chu had offended a big shot. According to what he had inquired, that big shot had sent several people to guard Captain Chu in Daning County for a long time.

When he took the trouble to find out the strength of those people, he was almost scared to death.

A strong military commander.

With several military generals guarding there, how powerful must the person that Captain Chu offended be?

To be honest, during the days when he knew about the strength of those people, he couldn't even eat, and sometimes he was woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until one day that he found a silver note worth one thousand taels in his room that he felt at ease.

If this banknote does not belong to Captain Chu, then it must have been left by his friend. Since he was able to put the banknote in his bedroom, it means that Captain Chu feels that he is safe here.

"who?"

Just as Liu Da was thinking about something, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, which made him immediately alert and shouted in a low voice.

The gate opened and a figure walked out.

"Chu...Lord Chu?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Liu Da could see the man's face clearly in the moonlight and there was disbelief in his eyes.

Lord Chu actually showed up at this time.

Could it be that...

Is the commotion in the city just now related to Lord Chu?

"Liu Da, thank you for your hard work over the past two years."

Chu Ning looked at Liu Da with a smile. Liu Da had done a great job in taking care of his old aunt.

"Without Lord Chu, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's my honor to be able to do something for Lord Chu."

At this time, Liu Dake would not express his previous anxiety, or even his thoughts on whether to report it.

Of course, the first half of his sentence was also correct. With the silver note Chu Ning gave him, he used it to buy some medicinal pills, and now he was only one step away from becoming a martial artist.

But because he was a generous and charitable person, he had already climbed to the position of the highest leader in the Sanzhu Gang, second only to the gang leader and deputy gang leader.

"I heard that you are now the chief of the gang. How about it? Do you want me to take care of the chief and deputy chief for you so that you can take the position of chief?"

Liu Da's heart was moved for a few seconds, but then he shook his head: "Master Chu, you are joking. The gang leader still takes good care of me. How can I, Liu Da, be an ungrateful person?"

Now, if I ask Lord Chu to kill the gang leader and the deputy gang leader just to become the gang leader, then wouldn't I become an ungrateful villain in Lord Chu's mind? It's not worth it.

"Okay, then continue to be the hall master."

Chu Ning nodded and took out a medicine bottle from his arms.

"The pills in this bottle are enough for you to break through to the martial arts master level. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to Raozhou Prefecture to find me."

"Thank you, Master Chu."

Liu Da did not hesitate. Since Lord Chu had given it to him, refusing would only seem hypocritical.

"Master Chu, I'll be leaving first. The old man fell asleep half an hour ago."

"Um."

Watching Liu Da walk out of the courtyard gate and considerately close the door, Chu Ning smiled towards the inner room and said, "Aunt, I'm back. You must be mad at me for pretending to sleep."

With Chu Ning's spiritual sense, he could tell from the old aunt's breathing through the door that the old aunt was not asleep.

He had just made such a loud noise, and the old man was a light sleeper, so how could he not be woken up? He just didn't want to get up to avoid troubling Liu Da.

Hearing the sound and sensing movement in the house, Chu Ning pushed open the door and hugged the old aunt before she could get out of bed in a hurry.

"Xiao Ning, it's really you, am I dreaming?"

The old man reached out and touched Chu Ning's face, and using his true energy, Chu Ning made his cheeks much smaller.

This is not a difficult task for a master.

Although it has not yet fully recovered to its original appearance, it can at least be recognized at a glance.

It's just like a normal person's face becomes a little fatter after a few years. As long as you use your true Qi to slowly polish it, it will return to its original appearance sooner or later.

"Old aunt, let's go to the capital. I won't leave this time. I will stay with you."

"well."

The old man grabbed Chu Ning's hand and held it tightly.

…

…

Seven days later.

Raozhou City was still peaceful. The people of Raozhou did not know that the Routu Kingdom had launched a massive attack on the border of Yanzhou two days ago.

It took only two days to capture Yanzhou City.

Such a big thing, even without instant messaging, the news should have reached Raozhou.

But it's not just Raozhou. Most of the people in those states controlled by the Eight Great Families and the Four Great Sects don't know this news.

The news of the war on the border was isolated by an invisible hand.

The ones who can isolate this news are naturally the eight major families and the four major sects. Even if the Chen family chooses to stand by and watch temporarily, their butt is actually leaning towards the Wushuang Sect.

Chu Ning recalled Chen Jingwu's words. When it comes to hatred towards the royal family, the Eight Great Families and the Four Great Sects are all the same. They have been trapped in the cultivation of immortals for more than four hundred years.

At this rate, with the secret help of all major forces, the Routu army will be able to reach the capital in a month. By that time, it will be time for both sides to compete in their masters' strength and trump cards.

I wrote more than 5,000 words, but finally deleted more than 1,000. I felt sad, but after thinking about it, I realized I had to delete it. These 1,000 words were a decryption, and when I saw everyone had doubts, I wanted to answer them first. In the end, I felt that it was not a good idea and it could not affect the plot.
