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

Lanyue City.

Chu Ning's consciousness was firmly locked on those two figures, and he wanted to know who was digging a hole for him.

When he got the jade slip at the inn, he just glanced at the content inside and knew it couldn't be written for him by Senior Brother Gu.

There was a silent understanding between him and Senior Brother Gu.

Senior Brother Gu knew that he was not interested in asking Jinzong and would not write to him asking for help.

At the same time, in Senior Brother Gu's heart, he is also a seed. He has removed himself from the Wenjin Sect. If the disciples of the Wenjin Sect really encounter disaster, he can still avenge them after a few years.

This is because someone knew that he was in Lanyue City and used Senior Brother Gu's name to write to him so that he could go to the contact address mentioned in the letter.

Knowing that someone was writing to him pretending to be Senior Brother Gu, Chu Ning dispersed his consciousness after walking out of the inn, and soon discovered that two foundation-building monks were secretly watching him.

The two of them were very cautious and did not use their spiritual consciousness to pay attention to themselves. They were afraid of being discovered by themselves, and they also believed that they did not dare to let their spiritual consciousness loose on the street.

Chu Ning followed the two people from a distance, his consciousness fully dispersed. The person currently in charge of Lanyue City was an early Jindan elder of Xiyue Sect, and it was impossible for him to discover his consciousness.

After passing through most of Lan Yue City, Chu Ning stopped because the two men entered a mansion.

"Elder, Chu Ning has taken away the letter."

"Very good. From tomorrow onwards, you two will be watching at the gate of Xiyue Sect. If Chu Ning comes out, report it as soon as possible."

"Yes, elder."

The two monks in the late stage of Qi Condensation respectfully withdrew, while the old man known as the elder sat in the hall for a while, then walked out of the hall and walked to the backyard of the mansion.

"Elder Wang, everything is going according to your plan. Chu Ning has taken the letter and returned to Xiyue Sect's mountain gate."

"I understand and have done a good job."

In the backyard, Wang Sen nodded with satisfaction. When the two men reported the situation, he already knew the result.

The old man stood outside the courtyard gate, looking a little hesitant, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"What else is there?" Wang Sen said coldly.

"Elder Wang, according to the investigation, although Chu Ning has appeared in Taiping City, there is no reason to kill Junior Brother Qi. Could the murderer be someone else?"

Zhang Chunrong finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Their Huatian Mansion is an affiliated sect of Xuantian Sect, and as Junior Brother Qi, as the elder of Huatian Mansion, was killed in Taiping City, the sect naturally wanted to investigate.

According to the investigation, on the day Junior Brother Qi died, a mysterious young man entered the city, and then based on the description of the soldiers guarding the city, the portrait of the mysterious young man was confirmed.

The master of the palace notified the upper sect Xuantian Sect of the news. He originally wanted to investigate the identity of the young man through Xuantian Sect, but unexpectedly Xuantian Sect directly sent an elder Jindan to deal with the matter.

And it was from Elder Wang's mouth that he learned that this mysterious man was called Chu Ning, who came from the Hundred Cities area, and was related to the Xiyue Sect.

After understanding Chu Ning's origin and background, Zhang Chunrong did not think that Chu Ning would be the murderer of Junior Brother Qi.

Because Chu Ning and Junior Brother Qi were incompatible with each other and there was no grudge between them, Chu Ning's appearance in Taiping City was most likely just passing by the Xiyue Sect from the Baicheng area.

"When did I say that the murderer was Chu Ning?"

Wang Sen sneered: "But even if the murderer is not Chu Ning, Chu Ning also knows the identity of the murderer, and may even have seen the murderer. When Chu Ning entered Taiping City, he most likely asked for directions. What made Chu Ning give up in the end? Ask for directions and leave directly?”

Zhang Chunrong was shocked. He and the Palace Master had never thought of this.

It was really possible that Chu Ning knew who killed Junior Brother Qi, and left in a hurry in order to avoid the muddy water.

"Elder Wang, can we just ask Chu Ning face to face? Then Chu Ning will not cover up a murderer who has nothing to do with him."

"madness!"

Wang Sen scolded: "Do you think Chu Ning will tell you if you ask directly? What if the murderer of Qi Zhiye is also someone with a background?"

After being scolded like this, Zhang Chunrong did not dare to answer the question, although he felt that Elder Wang's words were a bit awkward.

If the person who killed Junior Brother Qi really had a big background, he would just not take revenge.

The other party did not dare to reveal his identity, which meant that he was afraid that he would be hunted down if his identity was found out. According to his and the palace master's speculation, this person was also in the foundation building stage and did not have a strong background.

If he were a strong Jindan person, there would be no need to hide his identity, he could just slap Junior Brother Qi to death.

The master of the palace and himself did not dare to avenge Junior Brother Qi, and the Xuantian Sect would not hunt down a strong Jindan man for Junior Brother Qi. At most, the Jindan strongman would give a reason to kill Junior Brother Qi, and then give some compensation. Xuantian Sect would It’s enough to be passable in terms of face.

Huatian Mansion is only one of the sixteen sects affiliated with Xuantian Sect, and Junior Brother Qi's weight is even lighter.

Although he had different opinions in his heart, Zhang Chunrong did not dare to speak out anymore at this moment.

"Back off."

"yes."

Zhang Chunrong left the courtyard, and Chu Ning also withdrew his consciousness.

"The Xuantian Sect is really lingering. Has it still not dispelled its suspicion of me?"

Chu Ning was lost in thought. He could clearly hear the conversation between Chunrong and Wang Sen just now.

Zhang Chunrong has doubts and different opinions, and he also agrees.

If he suspects that he may have seen the murderer of Qi Zhiye, asking him directly is the best way. This elder of Xuantian Sect is obviously unnecessary.

There is only one reason that can explain the behavior of the Xuantian Sect elder named Wang.

Xuantianzong still did not dispel the suspicion that he might have killed Zheng Qingmin.

"Zheng Qingmin is definitely not worth the efforts of the Xuantian Sect. He has been targeting him since the Hundred Cities area, and now he has even gone after the Xiyue Sect."

Chu Ning had a judgment in her heart that the young master of Xuantian Sect would never have particularly deep feelings for Zheng Qingmin, and it was definitely not to avenge Zheng Qingmin.

Could it be?

Chu Ning's heart moved, and he thought of the one that his spiritual consciousness could not enter among the three jade slips he found in Zheng Qingmin's storage bag.

"Go back to the mountain gate first."

Realizing that the two men were already preparing to guard the Xiyue Sect's mountain gate, Chu Ning returned to the mountain gate first and returned to his cave.

In the palm of Chu Ning's hand, there was the only remaining one of Zheng Qingmin's three jade slips.

"Even with my golden elixir level spiritual consciousness, I cannot enter this jade slip. On the contrary, it only proves that this jade slip is unique."

Rubbing the jade slip with her fingers, Chu Ning was sure that the Xuantian Sect was chasing Zheng Qingmin's murderer for this jade slip.

Although Zheng Qingmin is in the late stage of foundation building, she is still far away from the golden elixir, but there is a jade slip on her body that even the early stage of the golden elixir cannot open, indicating that this jade slip does not belong to Zheng Qingmin.

If he had known that this jade slip was very important to Xuantian Sect when Zheng Qingmin died, he would have found a way to let it go, but now even if he knows that Xuantian Sect is clinging to it because of this jade Jane, he will not return the jade slips to Xuantian Sect.

Not wanting to cause trouble is a principle he has always implemented.

But this principle has a prerequisite, that is, the other party has not provoked you before.

Xuantian Sect has secretly targeted him several times. Although he has not suffered any losses, the hatred has been forged.

He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he also holds a grudge.

If Xuantian Sect wants to use the help of Huatian Mansion to deal with him, he can also use the hands of others to deal with Xuantian Sect.

Three days later.

Something happened at the gate of Xiyue Sect.

Two men were arrested by the female disciples of Xiyue Sect.

The reason was that these two men had been staying at the gate of Xiyue Sect Mountain. They were questioned by Xiyue Sect disciples patrolling Lanyue City, but they could not tell the reason for staying at the gate of the mountain. They were taken away by Xiyue Sect patrolling disciples with unknown intentions. .

"Elder Wang, I'm afraid something is going to happen now, and Xiyue Sect will definitely know about it."

After Zhang Chunrong learned the news, he hurriedly found Wang Sen. If these two disciples betrayed Huatian Mansion, he would also be in trouble.

"What are you panicking about!"

Wang Sen gave a light drink, and then said loudly: "Since Fellow Daoist Li is here, why don't you come in and sit down?"

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wang to be here too. There's no need to sit here today. I'm here today to find people from Huatian Mansion."

A cold voice came from the sky above the mansion, and Zhang Chunrong's body trembled. This was the golden elixir expert from Xiyue Sect coming in person.

"Friend Daoist Li should know that Huatian Mansion is a subordinate sect of our Xuantian Sect." Wang Sen frowned.

"This is Lanyue City."

In the sky above the mansion, a female golden elixir expert appeared. She did not give Wang Sen any face, and her eyes fell directly on Zhang Chunrong.

"Zhang Chunrong, did you do something that violated the city regulations of Lanyue City behind my back?"

Wang Sen suddenly scolded Zhang Chunrong, whose face turned pale. He knew that Elder Wang was going to abandon him.

But even so, he did not dare to reveal that Elder Wang was behind this matter, because he still had descendants in the Xuantian Sect's area of ​​influence.

"Senior Li, Elder Wang, I... I also did things that violated the city rules of Lanyue City out of the desire to avenge my junior brother."

Zhang Chunrong knew how to answer, and immediately took over what Wang Sen told him to do.

"I... I just want to know the murderer of my junior brother from Chu Ning, and I also ask Senior Li and Elder Wang to clarify."

"Fellow Daoist Li, if this is the case, then Zhang Chunrong's behavior can be considered to have a reason. Although it violates the city rules of Lanyue City, it is also to avenge his junior brother."

Wang Sen relied on Zhang Chunrong's words and further said: "Huatian Mansion is a subordinate sect of our Xuantian Sect. I also ask Fellow Daoist Li to ask Chu Ning to tell the murderer's appearance in person."

Li Fenglin looked slightly cold as she listened to Wang Sen's words. She already knew from the mouths of the two arrested people what the purpose of guarding the mountain gate was.

He knew that Huatian Mansion was going to Chu Ning, and he also knew who Chu Ning was.

Chu Ning's identity is not a secret among the senior leaders of Xiyue Sect, not to mention that she is also Senior Sister Duan's junior sister. They both worshiped the same master back then. Tang Ruowei is Senior Sister Duan's disciple, no different from her own disciple, so Chu Ning Ning is Junior Sister Duan's apprentice son-in-law, that is, her apprentice son-in-law.

"This is just Huatian Mansion's one-sided statement. If Huatian Mansion really wants to ask Chu Ning, just go to Chu Ning directly or inform me Xiyue Sect. Why be so secretive."

Li Fenglin directly rejected Wang Sen's request. Huatian Mansion was staring at Chu Ning, and the inside story was definitely not that simple.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you being too decisive?"

"If Fellow Daoist Wang wants to stop me from taking away the people from Huatian Mansion, you can try."

Listening to Li Fenglin's words, Wang Sen's expression was extremely ugly. This is Lanyue City. Even if he is not afraid of Li Fenglin, Xiyue Sect is not only Li Fenglin, but also a strong person in the Golden Core Realm.

"Zhang Chunrong, our Xuantian Sect will not let this matter go unchecked."

Wang Sen looked at Li Chunrong with cold eyes. Li Chunrong knew that this was Elder Wang's assurance to him, but it was also a warning.

Li Fenglin glanced at Wang Sen, said nothing, and left with Li Chunrong.

…

…

Xiyue Sect.

Yao Xin was about to go to Fangshi to buy some elixirs, but when she was leaving the mountain gate, she happened to hear the conversation of the disciple guarding the mountain gate.

"This Huatian Mansion is really bold, and dares to stalk our Xiyue Sect people."

"Elder Li personally took action and all the people in Huatian Mansion were arrested."

"If you dare to stare at our sect disciples, Huatian Mansion will definitely end badly. But what I am curious about is which disciple is Huatian Mansion targeting? Senior sister, do you know?"

Yao Xin's expression changed instantly as he just left the mountain gate. The people from Huatian Mansion came to Xiyue Sect's mountain gate to keep a look on them. Are they here for him?

Exposed yourself?

"The person Huatian Mansion is targeting is called Chu Ning. I don't know him. It is said that he is a male cultivator. He should be a disciple of Red Sun Peak."

"According to the confessions of the two men in Huatian Mansion, they were staring at Chu Ning because Chu Ning knew who the murderer was who killed a foundation-building elder in Huatian Mansion. I don't know what happened next. Elder Li took him away afterwards. ”

Yao Xin, who originally planned to leave the mountain gate, felt a chill in his heart at this moment.

People in Huatian Mansion think Chu Ning knows who the murderer of Qi Zhiye is?

So at that time, I felt that there was someone following me behind me. Was that person Chu Ning?

Thinking of this, Yao Xin only took a quick stroll around Fangshi before returning to the mountain gate, heading towards Hongri Peak as soon as possible.

At Hongri Peak, Chu Ning was standing in front of the cave door. The two men from Huatian Mansion would be arrested because of his actions.

The method was very simple, just casually mentioned on Hongri Peak that he saw two suspicious men outside the mountain gate.

Many of the law enforcement disciples in Lanyue City are male cultivators from Hongri Peak. He asked Meng Sizeng to deliberately say something while drinking, but others listened to him.

"The rightful owner has arrived."

Sensing Yao Xin's arrival, a smile appeared on Chu Ning's face.

Yao Xin's sword fell to the ground. When she saw the smile on Chu Ning's face, she knew in her heart that she was right. The person who followed her was Chu Ning.

"Sister Yao, don't worry, I don't know anything." Chu Ning directly gave Yao Xin reassurance.

"What benefits do you want?" Yao Xin did not feel relieved because of Chu Ning's words, but asked.

"I'm a little envious of Senior Sister Yao's keen awareness."

Chu Ning looked at Yao Xin with a smile. Her spiritual consciousness was obviously far above Yao Xin. How did Yao Xin find him? Also, when her spiritual consciousness scanned the City Lord's Mansion, Yao Xin was not found.

"Okay, this matter is settled, I will give you the technique."

Yao Xin readily agreed. Chu Ning's request was not excessive, it was just one more person to practice.

"Then it's settled."

The two parties reached an agreement, and Yao Xin left quickly. If he stayed here for a long time, it would easily lead to speculation by others.

Just a quarter of an hour after Yao Xin left, a voice came.

"Chun Ning, come to Yuefeng."
