Chapter XVII: Crisis

"What do you say?

When the Great Elder heard Ning Bufan's words, his shocked old face trembled, and he couldn't help but get up from his seat.

Ning Bufan looked at everyone's eyes, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "As for you, didn't you just defeat a thunderous and a thirteen-year-old kid?"

Everyone looked at Ning Bufan's expression and found that he didn't seem to be lying, so they immediately looked at each other, and they couldn't react for a while.

If it is possible that the previous Eight Veins of the Void Spirit Realm were hiding Ning Bufan's strength, then the current Nine Veins are real under the verification of the Second Elder.

In just half a month, you can improve the strength of the first vein, and it is the last vein, such a talent is terrifying!

For a while, almost everyone believed what Ning Bufan said. Those who looked down on Ning Bufan, offended him, and bullied him before didn't dare to look at Ning Bufan's eyes anymore, for fear that he would recall it and take the opportunity to retaliate back in the future.

However, everyone present knew that from now on, Ning Bufan would no longer be the waste young patriarch.

He completely inherited the talent of his father Ning Feng back then, and in time, maybe he could reach the realm of Ning Feng and reproduce the glory of the Ning clan.

"Quick, kid, come here!" the Great Elder swept away the gloom on his face and enthusiastically pulled Ning Bufan over.

Ning Bufan couldn't refuse, his face was embarrassed, and he could only let the Great Elder pull him. In the audience, only the three elders sat silently, expressionless, and didn't know what they were thinking.

"Great Elder, how is this possible? Ning Bufan is even the strength of the Nine Veins of the Void Spirit Realm, but as far as I know, that Ji Wu is a True Yuan Realm, how can he defeat him?"

But this time, no one scolded him. Because in fact, everyone has such a question in their hearts.

Facing everyone's eyes, Ning Bufan didn't know what to say?

Because the Wind and Rain Thunderstorm Method that defeated Ji Wu was created by combining the Wind Legs and Thunderstorm Methods that he stole from Hua Tian and Lei Li.

Just a few tricks to steal the other party's method, and you can also integrate new methods!

You must know that although these methods are strong and weak, if you want to create them, you need to cross the True Yuan Realm and achieve cultivation above the Xuan Mind Realm.

Just the nine veins of the Void Spirit Realm, the creation of the method, this is not only unheard of in Wuyang City, but also in the entire Izumo Empire, it is also unheard of.

If such a thing is said, I am afraid that it will be more shocking than Ning Bufan's defeat of Lei Li and Ji Wu.

When everyone saw Ning Bufan's hesitant appearance, they became even more suspicious. Even the Great Elder couldn't help but think that Ning Bufan must have been lucky and got someone's help to come back safely.

But at this moment, there was another commotion outside the door. Everyone looked outside, but saw a group of mercenaries walking in.

Ning Bufan looked over and found that the person who came turned out to be the second captain of the Tiger Mercenary Group, and the current sub-head Wang Teng.

Wang Teng walked into the lobby, and actually walked past those stewards, past the Council of Elders, and walked directly in front of Ning Bufan.

"The young patriarch, the head of the sub-group, Wang Teng, the Trining clan paid tribute to the harvest outside the city during this time. ”

Everyone was stunned and didn't know why. The Tiger Mercenary Group is extremely fierce, and it is generally only so respectful to the Ning Clan Elders, even Ning Meng has been deflated in front of the mercenary group before.

At this moment, how could this Wang Teng be so respectful to Ning Bufan?

Seeing Ning Bufan nodding, Wang Teng walked to the elders' meeting, presented a list, and then asked dozens of mercenaries at the door to carry over more than a dozen large boxes, which were heavy, as if they contained some treasures.

The steward next to the Great Elder hurriedly took the list and read it out.

"Elephant Tiger, the head of the Tiger Mercenary Corps, and Wang Teng, the head of the special sub-regiment, pay tribute to the treasures. Among them, there are 3,000 gemstones, 2,000 elixirs, and 500 spirit beast spirit crystals......"

As the steward read out, all the Ning people in the hall were in an uproar.

With so many treasures, they are worth the previous two or three years of worship by the Tiger Mercenary Group. What the hell is going on?

In fact, not only the people of the Ning clan, but even Ning Bufan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in just ten days, the Tiger Mercenary Group had expanded to such an extent, and it seemed that those small mercenary groups had not lost their blood in order to curry favor.

"All the offerings have been delivered, young patriarchs, elders, if there is nothing else, then I will retreat first. ”

Wang Teng nodded towards Ning Bufan, and then left with a group of mercenaries in a daze.

"Bufan, what the hell is going on?" the Great Elder was the first to react and asked.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Bufan, and everyone could see just now that Wang Teng's attitude had become extremely respectful, which was very different from before, and his main attitude was to face Ning Bufan, not the Council of Elders.

It seems that in his heart, what really convinced him was the young man Ning Bufan.

Ning Meng on the side saw it in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were almost spewing fire. The last time he came into contact with the Tiger Mercenary Group, it was this Wang Teng who took the lead in opposing him, making him the son of the three elders of the Ning clan lose face outside the city, and when he came back, he was reprimanded by the Council of Elders, not to mention how ugly it was.

But this Wang Teng was very respectful to Ning Bufan today, how could he not be angry? He simply wanted to get up directly and kill Ning Bufan.

"Great Elder, I don't know this very well. It is estimated that the Thunder Mercenary Group was defeated, and the small mercenary groups nearby have all returned. I heard that the number of the Tiger Mercenary Group has now expanded to five hundred, three or four times more than before. ”

Hearing what Ning Bufan said, the doubts in everyone's hearts finally disappeared, and they began to believe that all this was true.

It seems that the only successful one in this mission against the Qi and Ji clans was Ning Bufan, the young patriarch who was the least favored by everyone at the beginning, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Just as everyone was looking at Ning Bufan with a different gaze than before, the three elders who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Great Elder, this action is still too impulsive, not only did it not take any advantage, but it gave the Qi clan and the Ji clan a reason to make a move. ”

As soon as these words came out, the glimmer of joy that had just been born in everyone's hearts because of Ning Bufan's matter was instantly extinguished.

Ning Bufan could hear that the words of the third elder were aimed at him. But with the situation in front of him, he couldn't refute it.

"What do you think you should do?" the Grand Elder asked.

Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak. Even the Second Elder was silent, after all, he was a main battle faction before, and now it seems that it will not work to take the initiative to fight, after all, the gap between his strength and others is too great.

"Great Elder, I request that the ancestral tomb be opened!" the Third Elder said again.

"What?!" all the faces of the elders changed dramatically when they heard this.

When Ning Bufan heard the words ancestral tomb, he was also shocked, and hurriedly pricked up his ears. Before his father died, he knew that there seemed to be a big secret hidden in the ancestral tomb of the Ning people, but no one knew this secret.

What I know in front of me is that this ancestral tomb is of extraordinary significance to every child of the Ning people.

"I know that the ancestral tomb is very dangerous, but now that the Ning clan has reached a real crisis, I can only gamble. The third elder said lightly.

The Great Elder set his eyes on the very old elders in the Council of Elders, and saw that they were all expressionless and did not object. It was as if he had made up his mind.

"In that case, after three days, select the young children of the clan and enter the ancestral tomb. ”

As soon as these words fell, Ning Bufan saw that Ning Dan, Ning Qingqing, Ning Meng and others all showed a trace of expectation and nervousness on their faces. He was puzzled in his heart, as if there was only one person who didn't know what the ancestral tomb was for?

"Great Elder, what's inside the ancestral tomb?"

"If it was you, maybe you wouldn't be eligible. But today, you should know that too. The Great Elder looked at Ning Bufan and said slowly.

Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Ning Bufan's face became more and more surprised, and he couldn't imagine that the ancestral tomb of the Ning clan would be so magical! Compared to that, it seemed that the aura that Daddy left for himself had also become very ordinary.

The so-called ancestral tomb is naturally the burial of the ancestors of the Ning people for generations. According to the records of the Ning classics that have been handed down a long time ago, the people of the Ning tribe do not seem to be as plain as they are now, and there is a special bloodline hidden in the bodies of all the disciples.

And in the ancestral tomb, there is an energy that can awaken the bloodline in the body of the Ning disciple.

It's just that this process of awakening is very dangerous, and the probability of success is extremely low, in the past hundred years, there is only one person who can succeed, and that is Ning Bufan's father Ning Feng.

And it is said that Ning Feng is only half of the success.

Just this half-awakened bloodline has made Ning Feng the number one master in the Ning clan for hundreds of years, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he can even rank in the forefront of the entire Izumo Empire.

If it weren't for some changes later, I am afraid that the Ning clan would have soared into the sky and become a big family of the empire.

But...... Once the awakening fails, these young disciples may be injured or even lose their cultivation talent altogether.

Therefore, in recent decades, the opening of ancestral tombs has become more and more cautious, and the Council of Elders will not act rashly until it is absolutely necessary.

But this time, the Ning clan is really at the point of life and death, facing the attack of the two major families of the Qi clan and the Ji clan, the Ning clan is already a defeated situation. Unless, someone can reawaken the bloodline to fight it.

adventurous, the Ning people still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory. But if it continues to be consumed like this, the Ning clan's industry in Wuyang City will inevitably be eaten away by the Qi and Ji clans little by little.

At this moment, all the Ning Clan disciples had a resolute look on their faces, especially the young disciples led by Ning Dan and the others, who had a solemn expression.

The future of the Ning people is right this time!
