I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 125 This is not an old baby, it’s clearly Yu Jie
Chu Ning’s “Wait a minute”

It is equivalent to "cutting the knife to save the man".

Gu Fanzhou's flying sword was suspended in the air, and Yao Qihua also breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to die.

"Senior Brother Gu, I think that if this person abandons the dark side and turns to the bright side, and is willing to tell everything he knows about the Loose Cultivators Alliance, we can give him a chance."

Chu Ning spoke with a smile, and Gu Fanzhou frowned: "Such a duplicitous person cannot be trusted even if he says it."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, Friend Daoist Chu, I can swear an oath to heaven, and what I say must be the truth. Since you have discovered it, there is no need for me to cover up for the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. The Rogue Cultivator Alliance is originally a group of people who have gathered together for common interests. Alliance, I can tell you two that the reason why the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is currently repairing in Shuangyu City is that the Changchun Sect’s treasure house has not yet been opened.”

In order to seize this opportunity to save himself, Yao Qihua no longer cared about anything else. When he saw Gu Fanzhou's hesitant look, he quickly said: "Actually, I will join the Rogue Cultivator Alliance because of Lei Jian..."

Yao Qihua told everything about how he and Lei Jian got to know each other, and how Lei Jian persuaded him to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

It's not that he lost his mind in order to survive, but that he knew that if he wanted to survive, he must first let Gu Fanzhou see his attitude.

Moreover, what he said was not particularly useful information or a bargaining chip.

"So you haven't been in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance for a long time, and you've mostly been in single-line contact with Lei Jian, right?"

"Well, in order not to expose my identity, the only one who knows my true identity is Lei Jian. The other six people know my existence, but they don't know my true identity. They only know that there is a spy in the Jinzong."

Every time Yao Qihua goes to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he hides his aura and wears a mask. The foundation-building monks of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance all come from distant cities. They don't know much about the foundation-building experts in nearby cities. Guess Not his identity.

This was agreed upon by both parties before he agreed to Lei Jian joining the Rogue Cultivator Alliance as a spy.

In this way, his operating space will be wider, and he may even be able to finally defeat the Wen Jin Sect and escape by feigning death to avoid being hunted down by the powerful Jin Dan in the future.

"So that's it. How did you and Lei Jian meet? Can you tell me?"

Seeing the curiosity in Chu Ning's eyes, Yao Qihua was a little confused. The process of getting acquainted with Lei Jian seemed unimportant.

But in order to survive at the moment, he naturally would not refuse. It would be okay to tell this kind of information that would not affect his final negotiations.

"Lei Jian and I met when we were both in the later stages of Qi Condensation. At that time, I was walking around in the Hundred Cities area, looking for opportunities to build foundations, and I happened to meet Lei Jian..."

Yao Qihua spoke in detail because he could spare more time to think about how to break the current situation.

You don't need to think about what happened to you in the past, you just need to repeat it.

Chu Ning also listened in detail. The secret mirror has a characteristic, that is, it only shows the secrets hidden in a person, and some past experiences only show a few strokes.

Especially when people with a higher level than themselves show less.

Yao Qihua was in the late stage of foundation building, and Chu Ning didn't see much information about Yao Qihua's experience from the Mysterious Mirror.

There are only a few years to start practicing and a few years to build the foundation...

Similar to a personal profile.

Gu Fanzhou also looked at Chu Ning with some confusion. Why did Junior Brother Chu ask these questions?
But since Junior Brother Chu wants to ask, there must be a reason for asking, so just listen quietly.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Yao, for clearing up the confusion. I understand now that I can die."

Chu Ning suddenly saluted, and Yao Qihua didn't react for a moment. How could he understand?
What do you understand?
It's a pity that Yao Qihua couldn't get the answer, because a flying sword pierced his head.

It was Chu Ning who took action.

"Junior Brother Chu, what is your plan?"

Chu Ning killed Yao Qihua. Gu Fanzhou's expression didn't change at the side, but he just asked about his guess.

"Senior brother, I have a transformation technique that can imitate a person. I think it may be useful in the future."

Exposing the substitute technique was something Chu Ning had considered.

The first is that Senior Brother Gu is more trustworthy, and the second is that even if Senior Brother Gu knows that he has such a technique, there is nothing he can do about it.

Just because someone can transform, it doesn't mean that everyone can transform themselves.

Divine consciousness cannot see through it, and even if it knows it, there is no solution.

Gu Fanzhou raised his eyebrows, but he was not too surprised. There were many such techniques in the immortal world. He didn't know how powerful Chu Ning's technique was. Instead, he reminded: "Junior Brother Chu, you don't want to pretend Yao Qihua should sneak into Shuangyu City, it’s too dangerous.”

There are 25 monks in the Loose Cultivator Alliance who are in the late stage of foundation building, and there are many in the middle and early stages of foundation building. If Junior Brother Chu's identity is exposed, it will be difficult to escape.

"Senior brother, don't worry. Junior brother will not take risks easily. He just wants to take precautions before they happen, so I have to trouble senior brother to temporarily hide the news of Yao Qihua's death."

This is the third reason why Chu Ning told Gu Fanzhou that he had the ability to transform. Without Gu Fanzhou's cooperation, if news of Yao Qihua's death spread, it would be meaningless for him to become Yao Qihua again.

"This is simple. I'll just say that Yao Qihua gained enlightenment after receiving the Spirit Transformation Pill, and now he has achieved a breakthrough in seclusion."

Monks in the late stage of foundation building either have breakthroughs or formed elixirs, and they must have many small breakthroughs during this period. It is the accumulation of these small breakthroughs that allows them to explore the edge of the golden elixir.

"Junior Brother Chu, please don't take risks. Let's ask whether this sect is not in such danger yet. Moreover, after the incident in Shuangyu City, the disciples from the other two cities are also discussing with us. By then, an alliance will be reached. In terms of overall strength, Not inferior to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance."

Chu Ning promised several times in a row, and Gu Fanzhou left with peace of mind. Chu Ning felt warm in her heart. Senior Brother Gu was indeed a good senior brother, but did Senior Brother Gu have any misunderstandings about him?
Pretending to be Yao Qihua and sneaking into the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to act as a counter-spy, how could he possibly do this?

Not to mention anything else, there is a top-quality spiritual weapon on the ground now. I didn't pick it up immediately at the first time. Instead, I stepped back a hundred meters to make sure there was no ambush around me before taking action.

Yao Qihua is just a backup.

"Elder brother is very wealthy. Yao Qihua keeps all his storage bags."

As usual, throwing Yao Qihua's body into the ground fire, Chu Ning turned over the storage bag in his hand.

Unfortunately, nothing good.

Since he was able to enter the Wenjin Sect's medicinal material storehouse and withdraw medicinal materials at will, there were not many good things that caught Chu Ning's eye.

Chu Ning took out the soul-suppressing bead from the storage bag and held it in her hand.

Just holding this soul-suppressing bead made him feel at peace.

This feeling is very mysterious. If I have to describe it, it is like the difference between a person sitting on a cable car and standing on the ground.

Even though I knew that the cable car was extremely safe, it was still not as stable as standing on the ground.

Soul-suppressing beads stabilize the soul.

That's what makes it so powerful.

"Start refining. With this soul-suppressing bead, you should be able to refine the soul-destroying thorn."

In terms of cultivation, Chu Ning has always raced against time, and will not be in a hurry just because he has a long lifespan, let alone the current crisis.

With his current strength, he can compete with ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building, but if he has been looking forward to it for many years after foundation building, or has a high background like Zheng Qingmin, then the means will not be enough.

The Soul-Destroying Thorn can make up for this shortcoming.

Divine consciousness attacks, mainly sneak attacks, are crisp and clean.

If you can beat him, you will kill him with one hit.

If you can't beat them, you can escape immediately.

……

……

Spring to autumn.

One year has passed, and we have entered Chu Ning’s 24th calendar year. (I should be fine at this time. If there are any problems, you can correct them.)
Chu Ning stepped out of the cave, and in a blink of an eye, a flying crane a hundred meters above suddenly fell.

"wake up!"

Following Chu Ning's soft drink, the flying crane opened its eyes blankly and found that it was falling. It quickly flapped its wings and circled downwards to stabilize its downward trend.

"I only used less than [-]% of my divine consciousness, and the power is very good."

Ask Feihe on the mountain peak of Jinzong. He is in a place with rich spiritual energy, and his strength is in the late stage of Qi Condensation.

Less than [-]%, it was Chu Ning who saved Feihe's life, otherwise the stab just now was enough to kill Feihe.

All living things have souls, and they are all targets that the Soul-Destroying Thorn can attack.

"It took a year and the soul-suppressing beads to finally master this soul-killing thorn. It's really rare, but compared to the power, it's worth it."

Chu Ning was very satisfied with the power of the Soul-Destroying Thorn, and it was not in vain for him to practice it for so long.

Compared with Chu Ning's harvest, Wen Jinzong also had good news.

Half a year ago, Gu Fanzhou came to the cave and told Chu Ning the good news. The disciples from the three cities had formed an alliance. The three families agreed that no matter which family the casual cultivator alliance attacked next, the other two families would give their full support.

Instead of waiting to be defeated one by one by the casual cultivator alliance, it is better to unite.

"I've been practicing for a year. Let's take a walk to relax."

Chu Ning took a walk around Wenjin Peak. After relaxing, she was about to return to the cave.

"Since Junior Brother Chu is out of seclusion, let's come over and join him."

It was Senior Brother Gu's voice.

When Chu Ning arrived at Gu Fanzhou's cave, he found that the entire Wenjin Sect's foundation-building monks were here.

"Junior Brother Chu!"

"Junior Brother Chu is in high spirits. It seems that this retreat has yielded great results."

Chu Ning greeted these senior brothers with a smile. From the words and demeanor of everyone, he could also feel that everyone was not as nervous as two years ago.

Two years later, Wenjin Sect is still doing well, and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is still in Shuangyu City, which makes everyone feel a lot more relaxed.

"Junior Brother Chu is also here. This time we are all here. Let me announce something first. The Giant Spirit City proposes that we cannot passively defend, but should take the initiative to attack the casual cultivator alliance."

As soon as Gu Fanzhou said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Senior Brother Gu, is there something wrong with this?"

It was still Zeng Wenbo. Chu Ning made a judgment in his mind. He was the one who took the lead in opposing Senior Brother Gu several times in a row. I'm afraid he might have other thoughts besides really having different ideas.

For example, the position of Young Sect Master.

This time the sect leader and the elders were trapped, Senior Brother Gu stood up and carried the banner. As expected, when the sect leader and the others came out, the position of young sect leader would be in Senior Brother Gu's pocket.

Zeng Wenbo was afraid that he didn't want to see this scene happen because he wanted to challenge Senior Brother Gu's authority. "Junior Brother Zeng, what do you think?" Gu Fanzhou asked with a smile.

"Currently, it seems that the overall strength of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance is a bit worse than our three cities, but the key is that the members of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance can continue to expand. Even if we defeat these people this time, there will still be 20 years left. In 18 years, can we guarantee that no second loose cultivator alliance will appear during this period?"

Zeng Wenbo's words were recognized by many foundation-building monks present. As long as those foundation-building monks covet the three cities, they will be endlessly killed.

The Hundred Cities area is so big, it would be quite a lot for foundation-building monks to count.

Even if there are only three or five casual cultivators in the foundation building period in each city, the total number of people is hundreds.

"My opinion is that if we just delay it with the Rogue Cultivators Alliance until the sect masters and elders come out, in fact, as long as we delay it for another ten years, no one will dare to challenge us."

The formation of Shanyang City has been sealed for 20 years. This is just a standard statement. Who can guarantee that with the cooperation of so many powerful golden elixirs, the formation will not break the seal in advance?

15 years. As long as you can survive these 15 years, it will be safe to ask Jinzong.

"Do other brothers and sisters have any opinions?"

Gu Fanzhou nodded and glanced at the others.

"Senior Brother Gu, I think what Senior Brother Zeng said makes sense. In this case, we should not launch an attack, but rely on the strength of the three cities to defend."

"I think it's better to attack. After breaking up the casual cultivator alliance, it won't be that easy to form another casual cultivator alliance. It's difficult for these people to hide their identities among themselves and form a large scale."

"It makes sense. This time it's because those foundation-building monks all wanted to plunder our four cities. These people met together because they wanted to go together, and that's why they formed an alliance of casual cultivators so quickly."

There are those who support taking the initiative and those who support defense.

Chu Ning glanced at the expressions of everyone present and saw that the majority supported the defense, and from his own perspective, he naturally supported the defense.

"Since you brothers and sisters have different opinions, let's wait for the results of the discussions between the other two cities before making the final decision."

Gu Fanzhou did not force the decision according to his will, because the two cities also had to consider it internally.

The matter was put on hold, and the next step was the distribution of benefits.

In the past two years, apart from the income generated by the market, which was handed over to the treasury, the rest was divided among the people present.

There are also Qi Condensation disciples, but they can only take small heads.

Although Chu Ning has been staying in the cave, he also received a large amount of spiritual stones for refining the elixir.

Two years of income, 8000 yuan of spiritual stones.

The annual income is less than the estimated, but this is also affected by the casual cultivator alliance, and there are many fewer people trading in the market than before.

Trading naturally requires a stable environment.

Where a fight may break out, merchants are the fastest.

Those who didn't run away were reluctant to part with the years of rent they had paid for the shops in Fangshi.

After taking his share, Chu Ning returned to his cave, but before he could start practicing, Gu Fanzhou also arrived.

"Junior Brother Chu, let's go with senior brother. There is news from Giant Spirit City that someone related to the Loose Cultivator Alliance has invited senior brother and me to discuss it."

Chu Ning hesitated for a moment. He didn't really want to leave and asked Jinfeng, but in the end he nodded and agreed.

There must be a reason why the senior brother would come to call me specially.

"Junior Brother Chu from Giant Spirit City, please understand."

"I know a little bit. Juling City and Shanyang City are somewhat similar. They both belong to family sects. However, the lord of Juling City is not as domineering as the lord of Shanyang City, who monopolizes Shanyang City. Instead, as long as the cultivation reaches the foundation building stage, all You can have your own area in the city.”

As a neighbor of Wenjin City, Chu Ning also knows something about Juling City. Xu Haodong, the city lord of Juling City, is a late-stage Jindan strongman. His family has two Jindan monks, but they are not as amazing as the master of Shanyang City. .

"The current decision maker in Giant Spirit City is the eldest lady of the Xu family. Like Zheng Qingmin, she is in the late stage of foundation building and is also known as the foundation building twins."

Gu Fanzhou raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Chu Ning carefully for a while.

"Senior Brother Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Looking at me like this will make me a little embarrassed."

"The eldest lady of the Xu family has asked me for news about you several times, just because she has thoughts about you."

Chu Ning was shocked...

Does the eldest daughter of the Xu family have thoughts about herself?
Want an old cow to eat tender grass?
It is true that in the world of immortality, as long as one's life span is not at the end, being a few dozen years older is about the same as a few years older.

The eldest daughter of the Xu family is said to have established the foundation at the age of 50. She is now 120 years old, and is considered young among the foundation-building monks.

But in Chu Ning's heart, she was the old baby.

"Senior brother, have you misunderstood Miss Xu? I have never met her. How could Miss Xu of the Xu family fall in love with me if she has never seen such a handsome person?"

"Senior brother is not 100% sure, but the eldest lady of the Xu family should be interested in you, otherwise she would not have asked senior brother several times about your situation."

Gu Fanzhou laughed. If Junior Brother Chu and the eldest daughter of the Xu family could really form a Taoist couple, he would be happy to see it happen.

This was a good thing for Wen Jinzong. As for whether Junior Brother Chu, who was relying on the Xu family, would threaten his position, Gu Fanzhou didn't think about it at all.

In other words, as long as he can lead the current sect to prosper, he will agree with whoever becomes the young sect leader.

"I think you are overthinking, senior brother. Then, senior brother, you should set off first. Junior brother also needs to sort out the alchemy furnace, and then go to Giant Spirit City by himself."

Chu Ning still felt that this matter was unreliable. Although he was confident in his appearance, there was no shortage of beautiful men and women in the world of immortality. Those who could reach the realm of foundation building were definitely not superficial and only looked at appearance.

Gu Fanzhou was stunned. He had originally thought of taking the same flying boat with Chu Ning. With him there, there would be no danger along the way.

"Then Junior Brother Chu should be more careful and return immediately if something goes wrong."

Thinking that Junior Brother Chu had the flying boat sent by Elder Xie, he could still run away even if he couldn't defeat him in the later stage of foundation building. Gu Fanzhou said a few words and left first.

When Gu Fanzhou left, Chu Ning didn't go to the cave to clean up. There was nothing to clean up. He hadn't started refining the elixir for half a year. The elixirs handed in during this period were all from the same batch when he was refining the Spirit Transformation Pill. Made.

The reason for separation is because he does not intend to fly in the air, but is preparing to escape to the Giant Spirit City.

He doesn't want to be exposed to other people's view of Dun Dizhou just yet.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning descended from Wenjin Peak, summoned an escape boat, and escaped towards the Giant Spirit City.

Five hours later, we arrived outside Giant Spirit City.

Chu Ning appeared in the woods outside the city, and then summoned his luxurious flying boat. Even if there was an ambush outside at this distance, he could rush into the Giant Spirit City immediately.

Moreover, he deliberately slowed down. According to time estimates, Senior Brother Gu should have entered the city for an hour.

There was no movement in the city, which proved that there was no ambush in the city.

Chu Ning is very cautious. Not only is he on guard against the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, but he is also on guard against the Xu family in Giant Spirit City.

This kind of camp defection has not happened in the history of previous lives. Although the probability is low, it is better to be cautious.

With Senior Brother Gu's strength, if there is an ambush in the Xu family, there will definitely be movement in the city.

The luxurious flying boat appeared, and Chu Ning steered the flying boat towards Giant Spirit City. From the city gate to the city, the journey was smooth.

The monks in Giant Spirit City must have known that it was them in the flying boat. It was probably Senior Brother Gu who said hello.

There is also a mountain peak in the Giant Spirit City. This is a special feature of the Hundred Cities Area. Each city is built against the mountains, because the richest aura in the entire Hundred Cities Area is these hundreds of mountain peaks.

Although there are some mountains outside the city, there are monster beasts living in these mountains, and it is said that there are also monsters at the Golden Core level. Most monks will not choose to practice in the mountains.

If there is a beast tide one day, it will become the monster's meal.

"Junior Brother Chu, here!"

After the flying boat entered the city, Chu Ning heard the message from his senior brother. He immediately put the flying boat away and landed in a manor square.

In addition to Gu Fanzhou, there were also a woman and a man standing in the square.

Chu Ning glanced at the woman. Her skin was as delicate as gelatin, her face was like jade, her facial features were delicate, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her nose was high, and her chin was slightly arrogant, making her appear noble and inviolable.

No introduction is needed, Chu Ning can be sure that this is the eldest lady of the Xu family.

Damn, where is the old baby? It's clearly Yu Jie.

You can't choose people based on their age.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is the number one alchemy genius in our current sect, Junior Brother Chu Ningchu."

Gu Fanzhou proudly introduced Chu Ning. For some reason, Chu Ning had a feeling that Senior Brother Gu's tone was very much like a father introducing his promising children to his peers.

"I have heard about the name of Fellow Daoist Chu in Jiuyang City. After hearing about what happened at the Alchemist Competition, I only regretted that I was in seclusion and could not see the style of Fellow Daoist Chu."

Zhou Cheng smiled and spoke, and Chu Ning knew in her heart that this person was from Jiuyang City, and it seemed that he should be the current leader of Jiuyang City.

In other words, this time is the meeting of the current leaders of the three cities.

Xu Ruobing's beautiful eyes also rested on Chu Ning, but this look made Chu Ning understand that Senior Brother Gu had gone astray.

This eldest lady of the Xu family does not have any intentions for herself.

There was a kind of scrutiny in this look, more like he was examining whether he had any qualifications.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please forgive me. Ruobing has something to say to Fellow Daoist Chu in private."

"It's okay. Fellow Daoist Zhou and I are just discussing the current situation. Junior Brother Chu, just go with Fellow Daoist Xu."

Seeing his senior brother's winking expression, Chu Ning rolled his eyes inwardly.

He heard that the eldest brother has never had a Taoist companion since he started practicing, and he has never even been to the Miaoyin Pavilion once. He used to be a little disbelieving, thinking that the eldest brother might go there secretly in order to maintain his image.

Now he believes it.

Senior brother doesn’t understand women.

If Miss Xu was really interested in me, she wouldn't ask for an appointment alone at this time.

Women are the same as men. Even if they want to take off each other's clothes, they will become more reserved at this time.

Just like those men and women who meet online, they have to watch a movie or something first. If they go straight to the hotel after meeting, they are probably having sex.
