"Why does Master Lin say that?" Ning Jiufan was very puzzled.

Just now, Lin Bufan was actively treating Mr. Yuan. The two sides exchanged a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Suddenly!

Lin Bufan's expression changed and he was very harsh to Ning Jushu. His tone was gloomy and full of accusation.

What on earth happened? Lin Bufan stared at Ning Jiufan's expression and couldn't help but high-five and sigh: "Awesome, really awesome."

"Fellow Daoist Ning's acting skills really amaze me."

"I, Lin Bufan, have practiced for hundreds of years, but I have never seen anyone perform as naturally and flawlessly as you do."

"Unfortunately, I have already discovered your plan to take over the Linlang Yingzhao Wall."

"Give up your hope. Ning Zhuo, the genius of your clan, was defeated in the battle array even though he had a Yuanying-level mechanical dragon by his side."

Ning gave in: "Huh?"

"Wait, wait!"

"What is the Linlang Yingzhaobi? Ning Zhuo? What trouble has Ning Zhuo gotten himself into again?"

"Master Lin, the cooperation between our clan and your sect is sincere. Even if I have some plans, I will not put my only Nascent Soul combat power in your hands, right?"

Ning Jiufan spread his hands and said, "Look, I can completely avoid exposing Grandma Yuan's injuries. Why should I do this?"

Lin Bufan: ...

He was silent for a moment, and his eyes twitched. He looked Ning Jiufan up and down again and said, "You don't know?"

Ning Yufan shook his head and said with grievance: "Junior really doesn't know what happened."

Lin Bufan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pointed at Ning Jiufan's nose: "As the only Jindan cultivator in the Ning family, you don't know anything?!"

Ning Jiufan's eyes twitched as well, and he complained, "Master Lin, you don't know that Ning Zhuo is very cunning and sly. He is the one who caused trouble again this time, right? I knew that he had a plan when he called me here!"

"Well, he is still young after all, only sixteen years old."

"To be honest, I am also extremely troubled. He is too young and acts very willfully. If I have offended your sect in any way, as his elder, I will take full responsibility and apologize."

"Master Lin, our relationship has been going on for a long time and has always been good. The Ning family has absolutely no intention of being hostile to your sect, so please understand!"

Lin Bufan snorted coldly: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything."

"Just surrender and surrender!"

Ning Jufan frowned, clenched his fists, and his momentum rose sharply when he heard this.

But the next moment, Nascent Soul level aura burst out from Lin Bufan's body, suppressing him completely.

Ning surrendered and gritted his teeth: "Master Lin actually called me a man from the North and surrendered without a fight? This is really too much!"

Lin Bufan wanted to speak, but Ning Jiufan stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, and continued: "The Ning family and your sect are on good terms. If we reach an alliance this time, it will be passed down for generations. How can we turn our two families against each other because of a momentary mistake?"

"I really want to fight with all my strength and live up to my reputation as a brave warrior. But as the only golden elixir of the Ning clan, I cannot act recklessly!"

"Ning Zhuo, a young man in the family, is young and inexperienced, and has a wild and unbridled temper. Now the disaster has already happened. If I start another dispute, won't it only make things worse?"

"Alas, fate is hard to defy, and life is full of twists and turns. Today I have come to this point. I feel so sad and angry that I cannot calm down, because I know that I have to surrender."

"Enough, enough. Wu Ning surrenders. Although he is willing to fight to the death, for the sake of the family, the overall situation, and Yuan Lao's feelings, he has no choice but to surrender temporarily and let the situation rest. I hope that Sect Leader Lin will remember our past friendship and forgive the Wu Ning family and live up to our old friendship."

Lin Bufan: ...

The corners of his eyes twitched a few times before he took action and controlled Ning into submission.

Ning Jushan really did not move, allowing himself to be captured.

Lin Bufan took a deep breath, and his mood improved slightly: "You are very sensible. It's just that Ning Zhuo from your clan was too smart and discovered my secret."

"If you cooperate with me and bring Ning Zhuo here, we can make some concessions on today's matter."

Ning Jiufan nodded quickly: "I think all this is mostly a misunderstanding. I will send a letter right away to call Ning Zhuo over."

"Besides that, I beg Sect Leader Lin to think twice before you kill me or the Ning clan."

"Although my Ning family migrated from the north, we have already established a firm foothold in Huoshi Xiancheng. This year, we not only split up and expanded our family, but we also secretly joined the royal Zhu family."

"To be honest, I am an official and have signed a secret agreement with the royal Zhu family. If Sect Leader Lin allows, I can show you the official seal and other documents to prove myself."

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows immediately and asked in surprise: "You are still... an official?"

As he is at the Nascent Soul stage and this place is his base camp that he has run for many years, he is naturally not afraid of a small Golden Core turning the tables.

Immediately, Lin Bufan agreed to Ning Jushun's request.

Under his surveillance, Ning Jufan took out his official seal and other items and showed them to Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan: ...

He looked at the official seal and documents in his hands, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch again.

He sent his disciples to investigate and gather intelligence, but it was impossible to find out the real political confrontation in Huoshi Xiancheng in such a short time.

Now that he saw these official seals and documents, he immediately understood that the Ning family was so close to the royal family. It seemed that Huoshi Xiancheng was definitely doing something sinister in secret!

To make Ning surrender means to touch the officials of the royal family of Nandou.

The key point is that this official is so close to the Zhu family!

Lin Bufan began to have a headache.

at the same time.

In the thousands of miles of dragon flying, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked at the huge light and fog formation covering four mountains and one valley, both silent.

After a long while, Sun Lingtong finally sighed, "Lin Bufan directly activated the mountain-suppressing formation to catch us in a trap."

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "It's about the same as I expected. No matter what the things in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave are, they can benefit Linghu Jiu and me so much, so they are obviously of great value."

"Lin Bufan has been planning for many years. He is a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he personally took on the position of the head of the Wanyao Sect and has been in charge of the Wanyao Sect for many years. It can be seen that he is a person who tends to be in control of the situation."

"That's why he behaves this way."

Sun Lingtong asked again: "How is your family's Jindan ancestor?"

Ning Zhuo had already sensed Ning's surrender through the fact that his life was hanging by a thread, and immediately revealed a strange look: "He is still alive."

Sun Lingtong was delighted: "This proves that Lin Bufan is still hesitating."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "After all, if he kills my ancestor, it will greatly damage the reputation of Wanyaomen. Who would dare to come here as a guest? Not to mention the herbal medicine business."

"This foundation is the result of Lin Bufan's many years of management. Unless he wants to take all the things in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and become a demon cultivator, he will abandon this huge industry."

"The problem is, from the guidance I was able to obtain from the Five Elements Divine Lord, it can be seen that he is not yet able to take away all the treasures of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."

"What's more, my ancestor is an official. If Lin Bufan kills him, he will be breaking away from the right path."

Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly: "So, we don't have to go to war with Lin Bufan here? We still have things to talk about."

Ning Zhuo's face was solemn: "Lin Bufan is a Yuanying, and this is his territory. The mountain defense formation is under his control. He has been operating here for many years!"

"There is no chance of winning in this battle."

"Besides, if it really comes to this point of fighting, it means the situation is already bad."

"We have to help him."

Sun Lingtong: "Ah? Now is not the time to rescue the Ning family's ancestor. He must have been stared at to death by Lin Bufan!"

Ning Zhuo smiled at Sun Lingtong: "No, no, no, Boss, you misunderstood what I meant."

"My ancestors don't need help."

"He is now a hostage, and this role is very important."

Sun Lingtong's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah?"

"Master, how do you activate the entire mountain-suppressing formation?" A group of Jindan-level elders of the sect came together.

Lin Bufan naturally wouldn't tell anyone about what happened. He didn't need to explain anything. He smiled and said firmly, "Just follow my orders."

Under his continuous orders, the entire Wanyao Sect was put into action. Countless monks began to search the valley, looking for Ning Zhuo.

Various magical instruments, magic weapons, talismans, etc. were also used one after another, vowing to find Ning Zhuo and never give up.

Ning Jufan's flying letter stopped in front of Xiaozheng Peak's cave and entered without a door.

Ning Zhuo's Fei Xin flew directly in front of Lin Bufan.

"Your kid is really so daring!" Lin Bufan opened the letter and his face suddenly turned cold. His eyes were like sharp blades, slicing at Ning to surrender.

Ning Jufan had a bitter look on his face. He had been completely controlled by Lin Bufan, and his storage belt and other items had been confiscated.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Lin Bufan handed the letter to him.

After Ning Jufan saw it, his face became even more bitter.

In the letter, Ning Zhuo claimed that he had buried countless fire spirits under the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, and that he could cause a huge explosion with just a thought.

Moreover, he also set up a large number of mechanisms in hidden corners throughout the Wanyao Valley. With just a lift of his finger, he could control these mechanisms and spread a large amount of information about the relics of the Wan Yao Cave, making them known to the world.

Ning Zhuo therefore threatened Lin Bufan to release Ning immediately!

"It's better to be stupid and confused."

"I am the fish on the chopping board. I am now in Lin Bufan's hands. He is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he has many tricks to use against me!"

"We should take the Wanliyoulong and leave this troubled place as soon as possible, then report to the Zhu family and ask for help. That's the right thing to do."

Ning Jufan screamed in his heart, criticized Ning Zhuo harshly, and took the initiative to ask to write another letter to persuade him to surrender.

If Lin Bufan could find Ning Zhuo, he would not activate the mountain-suppressing formation.

Although he is strong, the situation is actually quite embarrassing for him.

Before Ning Juefan's letter of surrender was sent out, Ning Zhuo's second letter had already arrived.

This time, Lin Bufan was furious when he read the letter! "You are so arrogant! You are going too far!!!" Lin Bufan slammed the table and stood up suddenly, his face full of rage, almost like his hair was about to burst out in anger.

Ning Jufan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he immediately scolded Ning Zhuo loudly. He also asked indirectly what Ning Zhuo had done to cause Lin Bufan to have such a big misunderstanding!

"Misunderstanding?!" Lin Bufan yelled, "Your Ning Zhuo kidnapped my daughter, and you said this was a misunderstanding?!"

"Hey!"

"I'd rather be a little thief than a human being!"

"If anything happens to my daughter, I, Lin Bufan, swear to slaughter your entire Ning clan!!"

In fact, Lin Bufan had secretly ordered Lin Shanshan to move before giving the order to search the mountain.

However, Lin Shanshan had already been put in danger by Ning Zhuo. She was hiding in any secret room, and Ning Zhuo knew it clearly.

Of course, the secret room has its own defensive array and concealing array, but these defensive measures are still unable to withstand the power of the magical powers.

Ning Zhuo then controlled the Wanli Youlong, penetrated the void, and entered the secret room directly.

Then, he suddenly appeared and tapped Lin Shanshan with his fingers to restrain her.

When Xiaoju reacted, she was also restrained.

Ning Zhuo moved the master and servant into the mechanical dragon and quickly left.

Lin Shanshan and Xiaoju were imprisoned in the mechanical cabin by Ning Zhuo.

Lin Shanshan said coldly: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you have deceived Shanshan too deeply. What kind of martial arts did you use just now that made me unable to move in an instant?"

Of course, people’s lives are hanging by a thread!

But Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and bowed his hands to apologize: "This is the skill of acupuncture with fingertips. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Lin."

"This time, I am not taking action to repay kindness with enmity. I am here to help Miss Lin and your sect."

Lin Shanshan looked cold, but still said, "You go ahead."

Xiaoju screamed, "Miss, don't listen to him. The leader suddenly activated the mountain suppression formation and launched a comprehensive search for Ning Zhuo. He must have done something bad. Now, he is kidnapping us. He is a big villain!"

Lin Shanshan groaned inwardly.

She was just pretending to be nice. If she didn't delay time like this, how could she get her father to come and rescue her?

Ning Zhuo sighed: "Thank you Miss Lin for giving me a chance. Alas... there are reasons for this. Please allow me to explain it to you in detail."

Ning Zhuo then told the story about the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, how he discovered the secret of the fake wine brewed by You Si Ming, and how he and Linghu Jiu explored the array within the array.

Lin Shanshan and Xiaoju were speechless for a long time, both in shock.

Ning Zhuo bowed and apologized again: "I definitely don't want to embarrass your sect."

“I didn’t expect such a situation to occur.”

"But obviously, your sect leader doesn't want to let us go and wants to keep this secret strictly."

"I understand very well. After all, such an opportunity is definitely not simple and is extremely valuable!"

"I just want to save myself."

"The Jindan ancestor of my clan has now been imprisoned and placed under house arrest by the head of your sect. I am really desperate and can only come to Miss Lin for help."

Lin Shanshan and Xiaoju looked at each other, both shocked and helpless at the complicated and embarrassing situation.

They understood Ning Zhuo.

Lin Shanshan's expression eased. "Mr. Ning Zhuo, please recognize the situation. Even if you have a dragon that can travel thousands of miles, you can't escape."

"Even if you can escape, can you escape the temple? Unless your clan migrates from Huoshixian City again!"

"Why don't you let me go, and I'll go to my father to plead for you. If you trust me, I'll give you and your family a proper resettlement."

"But if you insist on doing it your own way, you will make one mistake after another, and both sides will lose face. The conflict will intensify, the situation will get out of control, and eventually the Ning family will fall into the abyss."

After saying this, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but look at Lin Shanshan deeply.

He clapped his hands and sighed, "Miss Lin is worthy of being the eldest lady of Wanyao Sect. I have seen your elegance now."

"However, Miss Lin seems to have misjudged the current situation."

"I just want to ask Miss Lin for help, to persuade your father to calm down and not make a mistake that will be difficult to undo in his lifetime."

"You have to know that he founded and managed the Wanyao Sect for hundreds of years. It was not easy. It would be a pity if it were to suffer losses."

Lin Shanshan raised her eyebrows and was about to speak.

Xiao Ju had already interjected, "That's a nice thing to say! Since the headmaster has already subdued your ancestor, naturally the Nascent Soul-level demon ape has also been subdued and can't make any waves."

"You are here making alarmist remarks and trying to deceive us?"

"Hmph, Miss, don't listen to him, he's bluffing!"

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "It seems that Xiaoju misunderstood me. The situation is not in the hands of your sect leader. Wait and see, our help will soon arrive."

Seeing Ning Zhuo's confident face and the way he was planning a strategy, Lin Shanshan's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Who is it?"

Outside the Wanyao Valley, Zhu Xuanji stroked his forehead and sighed, "Oh my, the mountain-suppressing formation has indeed been activated. Such a huge momentum, could it really be as Ning Zhuo said in the letter?"
