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

Moon Peak.

The main peak of Riyue Mountain.

This was the first time Chu Ning stepped into it. When he arrived at Yuefeng with his sword, there was a force guiding his path forward.

The main hall of Yuefeng.

Chu Ning landed in the square outside the main hall, and did not dare to scan with his spiritual consciousness. There were not only those who were strong in the early stage of the golden elixir here.

Entered the main hall.

Chu Ning glanced quickly. The entire hall was transparent and clean, surrounded by splendid and colorful scrolls. These scrolls were floating in the air in the hall, and there was a throne on each scroll.

However, most of the thrones are empty, and only a few of the three thrones on the left have figures standing in them.

Directly in front of the hall, on the crystal steps, a middle-aged woman was sitting dignifiedly.

There were several figures standing at the bottom of the steps. Chu Ning recognized Elder Wang from Xuantian Sect and three people from Huatian Mansion.

Are you confronting yourself?

"This junior has met the sect master and all the elders."

Chu Ning saluted Fei Yuelan and the three elders of Xiyue Sect who were sitting on the scroll. As for Xuantian Sect, they simply ignored them.

The three elders on the scroll on the left also looked at Chu Ning curiously at this moment.

Li Fenglin, in particular, had a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

The lover that Ruowei found, aside from other things, has a good temperament, and he is not afraid at all when facing golden elixir powerhouses like them.

"Chun Ning, do you know why I came to you this time?"

Fei Yuelan spoke calmly, and Chu Ning shook his head: "I don't know, this junior."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I am the elder of Huatian Mansion. When Friend Chu passed by Taiping City, my junior brother was the city lord of Taiping City, but he was assassinated."

"etc!"

Chu Ning interrupted Zhang Chunrong: "What do you mean, you suspect that I was the one who killed him? Where is the evidence? Just because I appeared in Taiping City?"

After saying that, Chu Ning looked at Fei Yuelan: "Sect Master, Huatian Mansion is spitting blood."

Zhang Chunrong did not expect Chu Ning to speak so well, and quickly explained: "Fellow Daoist Chu misunderstood. He did not say that it was Daoist Chu who killed my junior brother. I just thought that Daoist Chu would have seen the murderer."

"That's it..."

The anger on Chu Ning's face disappeared, and she smiled and said, "What do you call this fellow Taoist?"

"I'm Zhang Chunrong."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you can just come to me directly for this trivial matter. Why did you alert the sect leader and several elders?"

Facing Chu Ning's words, Zhang Chunrong's expression became awkward, but Li Fenglin on the scroll snorted: "They are not looking for me, Xiyue Sect, but they are secretly watching your every move, and they don't know what they have in mind. , but I caught him red-handed."

Li Fenglin's words made Zhang Chunrong pale, but Chu Ning's heart brightened. This elder Li seemed to be on his side.

At that moment, Chu Ning's expression became angry again: "Fellow Daoist Zhang sent someone to stare at me?"

"This is a misunderstanding." Wang Sen said.

"Misunderstanding, who are you? You just misunderstood when you said there was a misunderstanding?"

"presumptuous!"

Wang Sen let go of the pressure, and Chu Ning pretended that she couldn't bear it and took a few steps back.

"Wang Sen, this is not Xuantian Sect, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

Li Fenglin's figure fell in front of Chu Ning.

"Elder Wang thinks that in our Xiyue Sect, it is your Xuantian Sect's turn to make the decision?"

Fei Yuelan, who was at the top of the steps, spoke lightly, her eyes just glancing at Wang Sen.

But just this glance made Wang Sen feel endless pressure. Wang Sen was shocked. This was definitely not something that an ordinary late-stage Jindan strongman could do.

There are rumors from the outside world that Fei Yuelan, the leader of Xiyue Sect, is just one step away from Nascent Soul. This rumor is probably true.

"Master Fei, please calm down, that's not what I meant."

Wang Sen quickly expressed his stance and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that the terrifying pressure that was suffocating him disappeared.

Seeing Wang Sen's deflated appearance, Chu Ning felt extremely happy, but he also knew that Xiyue Sect would not really do anything to Wang Sen.

The two sects would not start a war because of themselves, not to mention that Wang Sen had not done any substantial harm to him.

"This is Xiyue Sect. Elder Wang, please pay attention to your identity. If there is a next time, this sect will not be so easy to talk to." Fei Yuelan withdrew her gaze.

"Thank you, Master Fei, for reminding me."

Wang Sen was like this, not to mention the two men beside Zhang Chunrong and Huatian Mansion, their faces were already pale and colorless.

However, Chu Ning did not intend to just let Huatian Mansion and Wang Sen go. Why did Wang Sen want the people from Huatian Mansion to keep an eye on him? He knew the underlying reason very well.

"Since this senior said it was a misunderstanding, I would like to ask this junior, what do the people from Huatian Mansion want to do when they stare at this junior?"

"Don't talk about waiting for the junior to come out of the mountain gate to ask questions. This is an excuse that even a three-year-old child would not believe. I also hope that the senior can give the junior an explanation."

Chu Ning looked at Wang Sen. The best way for him to expose Wang Sen's conspiracy was to take out the jade slip. As long as he said that the jade slip was not written by Senior Brother Gu, the Xiyue Sect leader and elders could deduce it. Chu Xuantian Sect is targeting him.

But Chu Ning didn't intend to take it out. Again, he was not considered a disciple of Xiyue Sect, and even if Xuantian Sect had a conspiracy against him, he was still standing here intact.

It is impossible for Xiyue Sect to start a war with Xuantian Sect because of him. Speaking out will only make Xuantian Sect use other conspiracies against him.

Listening to Chu Ning's questioning, Wang Sen wanted to slap Chu Ning to death, but he had just been warned by the Fei Sect Master. If he made any changes again, the Fei Sect Master would really not give Xuantian Sect face. of.

"Zhang Chunrong, tell me!"

Wang Sen turned his eyes to Zhang Chunrong. Zhang Chunrong knew that he had taken the blame and said with a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist Chu, before today, I didn't know your identity. I only knew that you had entered the Xiyue Sect based on clues. I don't know Chu." Before the relationship between Taoist friend and Xiyue Sect, I really didn’t know how to negotiate with Xiyue Sect.”

No one present would believe Zhang Chunrong's explanation, but whether it was Xiyue Sect or Xuantian Sect, it was just a step up.

"Sect Master Fei, Huatian Mansion is also innocent of ignorance. It just wants to wait for Chu Ning to come out before contacting Chu Ning to find the murderer."

"Who knows whether what this person said is true or not? If everyone can keep an eye on me in front of the gate of Xiyue Sect, then where is the majesty of Xiyue Sect?"

Li Fenglin directly responded to Wang Sen's words, and Fei Yuelan said lightly: "Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped."

Fei Yuelan flicked her right hand, and a burst of energy shot into Zhang Chunrong and the other two disciples. The three of them groaned, their faces turned pale, and their auras were also aging rapidly.

When Wang Sen saw this scene, his face was extremely ugly, but facing Fei Yuelan, a super powerhouse in the Golden Core realm, he could only suppress his anger deeply.

Zhang Chunrong and the other three were deprived of their cultivation, but their eyes did not dare to show any anger.

"Many... many thanks to Sect Master Fei for being kind to me."

Chu Ning also had a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that the leader of Xiyue Sect would take such decisive action. This did not give Xuantian Sect any face.

Maybe it's because Huatian Mansion's behavior has touched the Xiyue Sect's negative scale, so this sect leader should kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Chu Ning was not narcissistic enough to think that the leader of Xiyue Sect was just trying to vent his anger for him.

"Sect Leader Fei and Zhang Chunrong have been punished now. But after all, Huatian Mansion is a subordinate sect of Xuantian Sect. A disciple of Huatian Mansion was killed. Xuantian Sect has the responsibility to investigate and find the murderer."

Wang Sen's words made Fei Yuelan look at Chu Ning, and Li Fenglin said: "Chun Ning, just tell me what you know. No one in Xiyue Sect dares to embarrass you."

"Thank you, senior."

Chu Ning expressed her gratitude to Li Fenglin, then looked at Wang Sen and said: "Senior Wang, the murderer who killed Huatian Mansion should be a golden elixir strongman. When I passed by Taiping City, I felt the energy of a golden elixir strongman. Bouncing, I thought he was here to hunt down this junior, but he ran away without daring to stay."

"impossible!"

Wang Sen sneered. No matter how stupid Qi Zhiye was, he could not offend the powerful Jin Dan. Moreover, there was no need for the powerful Jin Dan to hide his head and show his tail when he killed Qi Zhiye.

"What this junior said is true. If Senior Wang doesn't believe it, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Chu Ning spread her hands, with an expression that said if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it. Wang Sen's face was condensed, but thinking of Fei Yuelan's warning just now, he didn't dare to put any more pressure on Chu Ning.

"Wang Sen, if your Xuantian Sect doesn't believe it, then go investigate on your own. Chu Ning only needs to prove that Qi Zhiye is not the murderer. We, the Xiyue Sect, have no obligation to track down the murderer for you!"

Li Fenglin's words showed no mercy to Wang Sen. Wang Sen's expression changed several times and said: "Okay, I, the Xuantian Sect, will investigate this matter to the end."

Wang Sen took Zhang Chunrong and the others away. Fei Yuelan didn't stop him, nor did Li Fenglin. The other two elders who didn't speak from the beginning to the end of the scroll had their eyes on Chu Ning.

"This matter is settled."

Fei Yuelan glanced at Chu Ning, and her figure disappeared on the throne.

If Li Fenglin wasn't here, she would have mentioned a few words to Chu Ning, but Junior Sister Li was here, so there were things she didn't need to say.

"Yes, he has some courage and is worthy of Ruowei."

"I'll be a guest at the top of this mountain when I have time. I have several disciples who are also of marriageable age."

Fei Yuelan left, and the other two elders spoke with smiles.

"Senior is joking."

Chu Ning looked a little embarrassed, and Li Fenglin snorted coldly: "Don't play Chu Ning's mind, my senior sister has a bad temper."

"Junior Sister Li, what you said is wrong. I just invited Chu Ning to be a guest." The beautiful middle-aged woman who invited Chu Ning blinked: "Chun Ning, Qingyue Peak welcomes you to be a guest at any time."

After saying that, the middle-aged beautiful woman disappeared from the throne.

Soon only Li Fenglin and Chu Ning were left in the hall.

"I don't know what the conflict is between you and the Xuantian Sect, but I want to remind you that even if you have to leave the mountain gate, don't leave Lanyue City."

"Thank you, Senior Li, for reminding me." Chu Ning quickly expressed his gratitude. He had already made up his mind not to leave Xiyue Sect.

After leaving Yuefeng, Chu Ning returned to his cave, and three days later Yao Xin arrived as promised.

She didn't know what Chu Ning told Xuantian Sect, but she was sure that Chu Ning didn't confess her.

"This is what I promised you."

Yao Xin handed Chu Ning a jade slip, hesitated for a moment and said: "The relationship between Qi Zhiye and Xuantian Sect is unusual. This is why I chose to assassinate Qi Zhiye."

Chu Ning stared at Yao Xin, and Yao Xin's answer solved a doubt in his mind.

Yao Xin is a disciple of the Xiyue Sect, and she wants to avenge her parents. Even if she kills Qi Zhiye openly, the Xiyue Sect will block the Xuantian Sect for her, and there is no need for assassination.

"In order to take revenge, I investigated Qi Zhiye for a period of time. Although Qi Zhiye is an elder of Huatian Mansion, he has close ties with Xuantian Sect in private and does some shameful things for Xuantian Sect."

"whats the matter?"

"I don't know. Every time someone from the Xuantian Sect comes to see Qi Zhiye, they are all late-stage foundation-building monks. In order not to be exposed, they don't dare to get too close."

After sending Yao Xin away, Chu Ning had a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that Xuantian Sect would definitely pursue him.

The suspect in Zheng Qingmin's death now involves Qi Zhiye, who secretly worked for Xuantian Sect.

Does my horoscope conflict with the Xuantian Sect?

His consciousness glanced at the exercises in the jade slip given by Yao Xin, and Chu Ning's eyes lit up.

As he expected, the technique Yao Xin practiced was a secret technique for concealing aura.

This technique can prevent the caster from being discovered by the consciousness of the same realm, but the disadvantage is that he cannot move. As long as he moves, his breath will be exposed.

At the same time, this technique is also extraordinary in terms of perceiving divine consciousness. It can sense the lock of divine consciousness that is a small level higher than one's own.

"With the strength of my current consciousness, if I practice this technique, I will be able to detect it as long as the consciousness of a strong person in the middle stage of the Golden Core is locked on me."

This is good stuff.

Without hesitation, Chu Ning directly chose to practice this technique in seclusion.

Five months later.

Chu Ning came out of seclusion, walked around Hongri Peak, and continued to retreat.

…

Lanyue City.

The mansion where Wang Sen originally lived.

backyard.

At this moment, besides Wang Sen, there are two other golden elixir powerhouses.

A young man and an old man.

Wang Sen stood in front of the young man and said: "Young Sect Master, I'm afraid Chu Ning will not come out of Xiyue Sect."

"If he doesn't come out, then force him to come out."

Yue Yaotian's eyes were indifferent, but Wang Sen was stunned. Forced Chu Ning out of Xiyue Sect?

How to force it?

"The young sect leader wants to force Chu Ning to come out by asking the disciples of this sect. I'm afraid that Chu Ning won't care about asking about the life and death of these disciples of this sect."

Chu Ning has been in Xiyue Sect for more than a year, and has never cared about the situation of the disciples who were being hunted down in the Baicheng area, and what he learned about Chu Ning's joining the Wenjin Sect.

The young sect leader's move may not be very effective.

"You said where did Chu Ning come from before he appeared and asked Jin Cheng?"

Yue Yaotian smiled slightly, and Wang Sen's eyes lit up. He understood what the young sect leader meant.

"Young Sect Leader, I have investigated Chu Ning's origins and asked if anyone in this city can tell Chu Ning's origins. I'm afraid I won't be able to find out in a short time."

"If Chu Ning can't find out through the investigation, what about Tang Ruowei from Xiyue Sect?"

Yue Yaotian said lightly: "Tang Ruowei already knew Chu Ning when she first appeared in Wenjin City. Where do you think these two met?"

"I understand. Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei should be from the same place. As long as we investigate Tang Ruowei, we can find out Chu Ning's origin."

Wang Sen admired the young sect master, which he had not expected.

To be precise, it's not that he didn't expect it, but that he didn't dare to do it. Although he was an elder of Xuantian Sect, Tang Ruowei's status in Xiyue Sect was very special. He was a disciple trained by Xiyue Sect with all his strength. Investigating Tang Ruowei's origins, It is very likely to arouse the anger of Xiyue Sect.

Even if he is the Jindan elder, he cannot bear the anger of Xiyue Sect.

Only the young sect leader has such rights.

"At Chu Ning's age, I think there are still some relatives. I have arranged for people to investigate Tang Ruowei's origin. Elder Wang, please be prepared."

Yue Yaotian looked at Wang Sen's leaving figure indifferently, but the old man who had been silent from beginning to end behind him spoke at this time.

"Yaotian, are you so sure that Chu Ning killed Zheng Qingmin?"

"Second uncle, it doesn't matter whether you are sure or not. Neither Chu Ning nor Zhang Bai Ren can survive. This is the most important thing."

Yue Zhenhai knew what his nephew meant, and the jade slip in Zheng Qingmin's hand must not be leaked.
