Chapter 399
After the shock passed, most of the cultivators applauded the downfall of the Lu father and son. The independent cultivators in Chixia City had suffered a lot from the bullying of the second and third generations, especially the group headed by Lu Herong and their lackeys. In Chixia City, their words were the law, and if they were not satisfied, they would suffer the consequences. Privately, the independent cultivators had long been complaining about the Lu father and son.
"The Grand Elder really did a good thing. If you ask me, Hall Master Lei is much more upright than Sect Leader Lu. From now on, Hall Master Lei will be Sect Leader Lei. With Sect Leader Lei around, those bastards will never be able to act so arrogant again."
"You don't know that the reason why the Grand Elder removed Lu Youmeng from the position of Sect Leader was because he had no choice. The Grand Elder left the sect a while ago and wanted to deal with Ning Yan. Unexpectedly, with the Grand Elder's cultivation level of Incarnation, he was unable to defeat Ning Yan, who was still at the peak of Nascent Soul stage. Ning Yan would definitely attack Chixia Sect next. Removing Sect Leader Lu at this time can avoid a lot of trouble." Someone who knew the inside story said in a low voice.
"Really defeated? The Grand Elder is a powerful spirit, isn't Ning Yan at the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Your information is outdated. They just fought a battle. Otherwise, how could the Grand Elder support Master Lei to take the throne and rectify the Chixia Sect? Just wait and see. The Lu family and his son will be in trouble. Such a genius Ning Yan was forced out of the Chixia Sect by them. This loss is huge."
"That Senior Ning Yan is really amazing. How long has he been practicing? Compared to Senior Ning, we are all just living on the stomach of a dog at our age."
These words made all the cultivators ashamed, for wasn't it the truth? None of them present was younger than Ning Yan, and some were even several times older than Ning Yan. Unfortunately, they were all still in the Foundation Establishment stage, while Ning Yan was able to defeat a great cultivator who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Jing and Ning Yan also came, but they changed their appearance to avoid attracting onlookers when they first arrived.
After they checked into the inn, the innkeeper thought that they were just like other cultivators who had come to see the excitement of the Chixia Sect.
In the Chixia Sect, after Lu Youmeng was injured by the Grand Elder, he was personally sent to the sect's forbidden area to be punished for five hundred years. Lu Herong was also captured at the first opportunity, but there were some differences on how to deal with Lu Herong.
Lei Yunyi believed that Lu Herong should be handed over to Ning Yan, while some people in the sect thought that they had dealt with Lu Herong enough, and handing him over would mean they were really bowing to Ning Yan, right? This was difficult for many people to accept psychologically, after all, in the eyes of everyone, Ning Yan walked out of Chixia Sect.
Lei Yunyi said coldly: "You still care about face now? Hasn't the Chixia Sect lost enough face? No matter at the beginning or now, what Sect Leader Ning wants is Lu Herong."
At this time, many people remembered what Ning Yan said when he had just passed the Nascent Soul Tribulation. He said that Lu Herong's life belonged to him. At that time, they did not take it seriously. But only a few years have passed, and Ning Yan really did it. He really has the strength to force the Chixia Sect to hand over Lu Herong.
The Grand Elder sighed and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Just hand Lu Herong over. This will also serve as a warning to other disciples."
The other senior executives no longer expressed any objections. They did not think they had the power to stop Ning Yan. Even Sect Leader Lei now addressed Ning Yan as Sect Leader Ning, placing Ning Yan on the same footing as him.
They also need to adapt to this change.
The matter was settled. Only then did Lu Herong realize the feeling of crying out to the heavens and the earth for no response. He had always been the little bully of the Chixia Sect, but no matter how strict his father was with him, he had never locked him up in a dungeon. There was no spiritual energy in the dungeon, and he couldn't even see a disciple who answered his questions.
"Where's my dad? You've locked me up here, and my dad will never let you go once I get out! Let me out now!"
Lu Herong yelled and screamed. He still didn't know his situation. After yelling for a long time, a disciple finally appeared. However, he was full of malice: "Lu Herong, you have come to this day. Do you think you are still the son of the leader, the young leader of Chixia Sect? Your father is not the leader anymore, so you, Lu Herong, are nothing."
"You are talking nonsense! My father is obviously the head of the sect, how dare you disrespect the head of the sect?"
“Haha!” The disciple laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. “The current leader is the former Lei Hall Master. Your father was beaten by the Grand Elder himself and sent to the forbidden area. He can’t get out until he is locked up for 500 years. Can you wait for 500 years? What’s more, maybe Sect Leader Ning is waiting outside our Chixia Sect right now, waiting for you to be sent out. Haha!”
"You're talking nonsense! I don't believe it, let me out now!" Lu Herong roared, stretching out his hand to strangle the disciple to death, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it at all.
The disciple's face suddenly turned cold again. He looked at Lu Herong viciously and said, "My brother died in your hands. I miss you day and night, why didn't you die? Now the retribution has come. Who made you offend someone who should not be offended? Did you think that Sect Leader Ning wanted revenge like me but didn't have the ability to do so? What do you think Sect Leader Ning will do if Sect Leader Lei sends you to Sect Leader Ning?"
"When you first harmed Sect Leader Ning, did you ever think that this day would come? No, you certainly didn't think so, you were so arrogant back then. But it's not too late. Before I hand you over, you still have time to think about it. Instead of wasting time by making a fuss, you might as well think about how to beg Sect Leader Ning to spare your life later."
The disciple vented his hatred, his eyes were red, and he wished he could eat this bastard alive. Now Lu Herong finally reaped what he sowed, how satisfying it was! He also had times when he was afraid.
On this day, Yuan Jing and Ning Yan were drinking, eating and listening to gossip in a restaurant. They were of course one of the topics of gossip, when they noticed a divine sense sweeping over them.
"It's Hall Master Lei, no, Sect Leader Lei, let's go, it looks like it's here to hand over Lu Herong." Ning Yan grabbed Yuan Jing's hand and stood up to leave.
The two men came to the outside of the city, without concealing their breath or hiding their appearance. Lei Yunyi, who sensed their location, personally escorted Lu Herong here.
Lu Herong's spiritual power was sealed, and his mouth was also sealed, so he could only express his thoughts with his eyes. The moment he saw Ning Yan, he almost wet his pants. He trembled all over as if he had seen a ghost, and cried with snot and tears, but he couldn't even make a sound. He looked a little funny.
Ning Yan had never seen Lu Herong in such an embarrassing state in his memory. He glanced at him coldly and clasped his fists to Sect Leader Lei: "Thank you, Sect Leader Lei. From now on, there will be no more grudges between me and the Chixia Sect."
Lei Yunyi put himself in the right position. He represented the head of Chixia Sect, not the head of the Punishment Hall who admired Ning Yan in the past. "This matter was originally the fault of Chixia Sect. Headmaster Ning did not pursue the matter further. I am very grateful. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Headmaster Ning, Headmaster Yuan and Jingyan Sect in the future."
Ning Yan laughed: "Master Lei, aren't you afraid of being in cahoots with a demon like me?"
Lei Yunyi also laughed: "If you are upright, you don't have to worry about your shadow being crooked. Just have a clear conscience."
"Okay, let's have a chance to cooperate. Master Lei, goodbye." Ning Yan clasped his fists, waved his sleeves, rolled up Lu Herong and left.
Lei Yunyi watched them disappear before taking two disciples back to the sect. These two disciples had dealt with Ning Yan before and said with emotion: "Master Ning is really different from before."
I also felt a little regretful. Such a brilliant person should have belonged to the Chixia Sect. Lu Herong really didn't deserve any sympathy and deserved this end.
After getting away from the Chixia Sect, Ning Yan and Yuan Jing stopped and threw Lu Herong to the ground. Lu Herong immediately resumed his movements, crawled and rolled to Ning Yan's feet, and cried and begged Ning Yan to spare him, saying that he was blind and deserved to die. He hoped that Ning Yan would spare his life for his father's sake.
Ning Yan smiled. He didn't expect that Lu Herong would one day call himself a dog in order to survive. When he was so arrogant and wanton back then, he certainly didn't expect that he would end up in the situation he is in today.
"Spare your life? Sure." Ning Yan said playfully.
Lu Herong lowered his head, hatred flashing in his eyes. As long as he survived, he would one day wait for his father to appear. By then, he would definitely turn the Jingyan Clan upside down and make sure Ning Yan died a miserable death.
But when he looked up again, he showed a look of gratitude. Unfortunately, Yuan Jing and Ning Yan could feel the malice emanating from him. It was absolutely impossible for Lu Herong to really realize how wrong he was. What Lu Herong regretted most now was probably that he let Ning Yan escape from the Chixia Sect alive instead of killing him. But who could have thought that Ning Yan, who was eroded by demonic energy, would be so decisive and simply turn to the path of magic.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Ning. I kowtow to you. I will definitely remember your great kindness... Puff——" Before he could finish his words, he was slapped away by Ning Yan. When he was in the air, his eyes showed disbelief and hatred. Ning Yan actually lied to him. Didn't he say he would spare his life?
The man fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood. Ning Yan shook his hands, afraid of getting dirty, and said, "I said I'd spare your life, so you're still alive now, living as a mortal. It depends on whether you have the luck to repair your Dantian. If you have the guts, come to Jingyanmen to seek revenge from me."
After saying that, Ning Yan and Yuan Jing turned around and left without even looking at Lu Herong, who looked like a ball of mud.
Letting him die would be too easy for him. He wanted Lu Herong to live a life worse than death, to experience pain before death and to die in despair.
If he was a little more ruthless, he would have committed suicide, which would have ended his pain and torture earlier, but how could such a person bear to die? He also hoped that his father, the head of the sect, would come to save him, and rely on the head of the sect to find natural treasures to repair his Dantian. The more this carrot was hanging in front of him, the more reluctant he was to die, and he would struggle desperately to stay alive and wait for that day to come.
In the Chixia Sect, one day, Sect Leader Lei received a message that a disciple had seen Lu Herong, but Lu Herong's Dantian was destroyed and he became a mortal. He looked extremely miserable, and was beaten when he was begging. Even after being beaten, Lu Herong still did not give up begging, which shocked the disciples who saw it. They almost thought they had recognized the wrong person.
After knowing this, Sect Leader Lei did not ask his disciples to take care of Lu Herong. He just treated him as a stranger. Lu Herong's name had long been crossed out from the list of Chixia Sect disciples and he was no longer a member of Chixia Sect.
