Chapter 64: Threats
As a senior minister, Chen Xun was highly respected in the Lihuo Palace Guest House and enjoyed the highest courtesy.
If Chen Xun wanted to fully recover his cultivation, he would have to stay in Luolong City for more than 50 years if he could speed up the flow of time in the Burning Tianbao Lotus. Chen Xun naturally did not rush to win the trust of Ning's family. He stayed in the guest court, and Ning Dongchen came to accompany him to discuss scriptures and talk about the Tao every now and then, and he was not lonely.
Although Ning Dongchen is a cold-hearted person and has no close friends in Luolong City, he somehow felt that Chen Xun was close. In addition, his father also intended to make him closer to Chen Xun. At the end, he spent almost all day with Chen Xun, trying various herbs to presumably have a new recipe for pills.
Of course, Chen Xun would not rush to come up with a new pill recipe, so that he would stay in the guest courtyard of Lihuo Palace and spend half a year unknowingly.
Chen Xun calculated the time that he should be able to develop the most basic new recipe for Juyuan Dan, so he thought to wait for Ning Dongchen to come next time to surprise him, but he didn't expect that Ning Dongchen would leave for half a month before he came to the guest house with exhaustion on his face.
Seeing his spiritual sea was empty, his true energy was exhausted, and his powerful body of the celestial being was seriously injured.
"Brother Dongchen left Luolong City and left for more than ten days, why did he look like this when he came back?" Chen Xun asked with concern.
After spending half a year together, Chen Xun likes this young man with a straightforward temperament and a little depressed temperament.
As the first person he met when he entered the Mongol Yuan realm, Chen Xun did not want any accidents to happen to Ning Dongchen.
Ning Dongchen smiled helplessly and said to Chen Xun: "A demon-level monster at Huangniling tore open the cracks in the space and broke in. Several castles were slaughtered. We followed Ning Jingtian, the elder of the Martial Palace, to surround and kill. We fought several fierce battles and suffered many losses, but we still asked the monster to escape into the depths of Fulong Mountain. When we came back this time, we would organize more elite combat power to enter the depths of Fulong Mountain to search for this monster. Maybe we would not be able to come to accompany Brother Zong for a while. Uncle Zhou has taken care of his cultivation since he was a child. If Brother Zong has any inconvenience in Luolong City, he can ask Uncle Zhou to do it."
After Ning Dongchen said that, the general behind him stepped forward to see Chen Xun: "Zhou Qibo has met Zong Zhenjun."
Although the Demon Realm and the Mengtian Realm are different celestial realms, the time and space between the two celestial realms are much more disordered than imagined, and the distortion points of time and space are much more than imagined, so that new time and space cracks often appear in the territory of various clans.
If the newly emerged time and space cracks are extremely stable, it usually means a great demon disaster that kills the clan and destroys the city; even if the newly emerged time and space cracks are extremely unstable and cannot last for a few days, some powerful monsters will take the opportunity to break into the Mengtian Realm and hunt the cannibals everywhere.
Previously, Chen Xun just heard the Ning father and son talk about this. Unexpectedly, just half a year later, a demon-level demon broke into the territory of the Daning tribe.
Although there are powerful Nirvana realm players like Ning Hao and Ning Jingtian in the Daning tribe, the demon-level monsters are extremely mobile and have extra strong physical strength. The elites of Ning's family do not have extremely strong binding magic weapons. It is very easy to use large army to shock the snakes. It is definitely not easy to trap and kill them with the combat power of three or five hundred elites.
The war occurred in Huangniling tens of thousands of miles north of Luolong City. Chen Xun did not notice it in advance. While considering whether he would take action secretly, he asked the female attendant Ning Dongchen to give him a purple-robed armor and said, "I can't share my worries for Brother Ning on the battlefield. This armor is better for the original owner!"
Ning Dongchen was practicing the method of refining the body of gods and demons. After entering the realm of heaven and man, his body became stronger and stronger, comparable to a low-grade defensive Taoist weapon. In other words, only spiritual armor above the low-grade Taoist weapon can provide him with effective protection.
However, the Daning tribe did not have so many Taoist artifacts and spiritual armor, and the heavenly level spirit armor was easily damaged when he fought against powerful enemies in close combat. It would be better not to wear it. This is also the reason why Ning Dongchen is accustomed to appearing on the battlefield with his naked chest.
However, Ning Dongchen was injured in this battle to encircle and suppress monsters and was no longer as strong as before. He wanted to go to the battlefield again at this time, and this purple-robed armor could still provide certain effective protection.
This time he came back, one was to recover from his injuries, and the other was to find a piece of armor and then go to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Chen Xun would ask the purple-robed armor to return it to him again.
Ning Dongchen smiled and said embarrassedly: "I'm so embarrassed to take back the things I gave, but I need such an armor to return to the battlefield at this time, so I won't be polite to Brother Zong..."
Even if Ning Dongchen wanted to return to the battlefield, he would not be in a hurry. He stayed in the guest court and asked the maid general to hold the banquet, drank with Chen Xun, and asked Zhou Qibo to accompany him.
Zhou Qibo has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, even a little older than Ning Hongde, but he has only the late stage of the Yuandan realm. However, he can survive all the demonic tribulations and is considered an old man in Luolong City, and he has also won Ning Hongde's trust.
Ning Dongchen had not directly commanded the troops and generals. Zhou Qibo usually brought several generals to serve food and daily life. Ning Dongchen didn't know how much he would stay in Fulong Mountain this time, and was worried that other high-spirited generals might not be able to serve Chen Xun at all, so he decided to keep Zhou Qibo.
According to Ning Dongchen's description, the Demon Lord who broke into the Mengtian Realm through the cracks in time and space this time was a blue-eyed demon. Although his body was not very large, he had the ability to control others' hearts and souls and refine them into puppets. The lower his cultivation level was, the easier it was to control, so it was difficult for Ning's army to surround the monster.
However, with a small amount of elite combat power, it is difficult to set up a net of heaven and earth. This demon looked only comparable to the second level of Nirvana, which had already caused many good players to lose to the Daning tribe.
Chen Xun secretly decided to take action to avoid the green-eyed demon causing irreparable damage to the Daning tribe. Just when Chen Xun made up his mind to send Ning Dongchen away, a loud voice came from outside the guest court.
"Although Ning Dongchen came back to recuperate after being injured this time, we didn't say anything to us, we already know. We still have some advice from him, so don't stop us."
Although Chen Xun was in the guest house, he was already very familiar with the situation in Luolong City. He could tell from the voice that Ning Jingtian's son Ning Zihe ran to Lihuo Palace.
Although Ning Dongchen has no hatred for Ning Zihe, it is very difficult to see Ning Zihe because of Ning Ning. Moreover, with their cultivation, there is no need to look out to know that Ning Ning, the daughter of Ning Hao, the leader of the Daning tribe, is by Ning Zihe at this moment...
Ning Dongchen pretended not to know and had no intention of getting up to greet him. Soon after, he saw Ning Zihe. Ning Ning, surrounded by dozens of generals, walked to the guest court.
At this time, Ning Dongchen reluctantly invited them to the table and introduced them to Chen Xun.
Ning Zihe greeted Chen Xun, and then said to Ning Dongchen seriously: "I heard that Dongchen was hit hard by the Green Eye Demon and had to retreat to Luolong City to recuperate. But you don't have to worry about anything. Ning Ning and I will lead our generals to meet with my father tomorrow. However, we are afraid that we are not prepared, so we decided to come over and ask you. We also hope that Dongchen will not think that we are too troublesome. Please leave the matter of killing the Green Eye Demon to us, so you can stay in Luolong City to recuperate."
"Who said I was going back to Luolong City to recuperate?" Ning Dongchen sat upright. Although Ning Ning had never looked at him directly, he would never want to lose his ambition in front of Ning Ning. He said with an angry face, "I am afraid that Brother Zong will stay in Luolong City without anyone taking care of me, which will damage my way of treating guests in Lihuo Palace. Let's make arrangements here, I will enter Fulong Mountain with you tomorrow!"
"Following Brother Zong's injuries, he has almost recovered. Are you willing to go to Fulong Mountain with us to kill the demons tomorrow?" Ning Zihe asked Chen Xun directly, his bright eyes staring at Chen Xun's face as if thunder and lightning were hidden.
Ning Dongchen's face twitched for a moment, and then he realized that Ning Zihe was actually coming to Chen Xun this time.
Although the clan discussion decided to test Chen Xun's background half a year ago, Ning Jingtian, Ning Zihe and his son had not taken any action. Ning Dongchen thought that this matter had passed, but he didn't expect that Ning Zihe would suddenly happen at this time.
Although Ning Dongchen did not object at the initial resolution, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he asked Ning Zihe to suddenly attack - and he knew Chen Xun, and at this time he was forced to go to the battlefield, so he couldn't bear it, so he stood up and drove Ning Zihe and the others away, so he didn't let them in agitating Chen Xunxing's plan.
"The so-called raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment," Chen Xun laughed, "If I don't have the chance to serve the Ning clan again, I will not have the shame to enjoy such a gift here again!"
Seeing Ning Dongchen angry and wanted to drive Ning Zihe away, Chen Xun smiled and pressed his shoulder and said, "I looked at the sky at night. There was a very faint wisp of Gengjin's energy floating in the smoke and clouds in the southeast of Fulong Mountain. There may be a mineral vein at the foot of the mountain that can collect the essence of Gengjin. This time I fell into the crack of time and space, and the spiritual sword, armor and many alchemy magic weapons were destroyed. I wanted to refine them one by one. This time I entered Fulong Mountain, and I could also take the opportunity to collect some gold and iron materials. And my newly predicted elixir recipe is still lacking a herb, and I might be able to find it in Fulong Mountain..."
Ning Zihe came here this time mainly because he wanted to pull Chen Xun up so that he could have the opportunity to test his void, but he did not think about offending him. He smiled politely: "Enter Fulong Mountain, Brother Zong, but you have any instructions. Please tell me. Although Zihe is not good at refining alchemy and refining weapons, he still has the ability to do odd jobs."
Ning Zihe said this very politely. No one could be resentful to him.
Chen Xun sighed for Ning Dongchen in his heart. Ning Zihe is experienced in dealing with people and is good at making plans. He has a very high reputation among the young generation of Luolong City. Ning Hao has no successful descendants who can succeed the position of sect leader. This position of sect leader will probably fall on Ning Zihe's head in the end, and Ning Ning's eyes will be even more unlikely to fall on Ning Dongchen.
After seeing Ning Zihe off and Ning Ning, Ning Dongchen felt that he needed the protection of his purple-robed armor to stop the demons, so he decided to keep the purple-robed armor again.
Chen Xun laughed and said, "I am good at fighting thunder, and I don't charge and trap. I fight with the demon in close combat. What do I need this armor to do? Brother Ning's body was damaged and it will be difficult to heal for a while. It is difficult to use a pair of iron fists to destroy evil and eliminate demons. I will choose a war soldier before tomorrow!"
"My father went to Dongguan to take charge and left me a purple dragon serpent with purple armor and purple dragon serpent. His combat power was not much weaker than before. I just didn't expect to drag Brother Zong in." Ning Dongchen said guiltily.
Ning Dongchen took out a purple war halberd from the storage ring for Chen Xun to see. The cold blade exposed the air to condense frost directly inside the room. He was a medium-grade heavenly mysterious soldier.
Chen Xun took the Purple Dragon Sphur and pretended to take a closer look. In fact, he knew where the Purple Dragon Sphur was strong and what was its weakness. He said to Ning Dongchen: "I am in the Hun Ling Realm, specializing in the learning of alchemy and weapon refining. I am not boasting, but I have the ability. If Brother Ning believes in me, I will refine the Purple Dragon Sphur for Brother Ning on the way, which may remove the weakness of the stagnation of the true energy operation..."
