Chapter Seventy-Four: The Four of Them Strike Together
The inner hall of the Ning people.
After Ning Bufan walked in, he found that most of the elders were there, in addition, Ning Dan, Sister Qingqing, and Ning Meng and other juniors who were stronger in cultivation were all there, and their faces were solemn, as if something had happened?
When Ning Meng saw Ning Bufan, his expression was a little embarrassed, since the third elder rebelled against his ancestors, his situation in the clan was relatively delicate, and almost no one had contact with him.
But he still remembered that when he was about to be punished by the Council of Elders, it was Ning Bufan who opened his mouth to save him.
Although Ning Meng is arrogant, he is not a person who does not repay his kindness, and in his heart, he has already recognized the position of Ning Bufan's young patriarch.
"What's going on?" Ning Bufan asked.
"Fan'er, do you remember that you mentioned that the Tiger Mercenaries had discovered a hidden mine in the forest?" the Great Elder said in a deep voice.
Ning Bufan nodded when he heard this, of course he remembered, and the batch of spirit stones sent over seemed to have been collected from this mine.
However, he still remembered that there were spirit beasts of more than five grades living around this ore, and this kind of existence was at least equivalent to the four qi of the human True Yuan Realm, which was not something that the Tiger Mercenary Group could deal with. I heard that in order to try to collect spirit stones, they lost a lot of manpower.
During this time, Ning Bufan was immersed in alchemy and his own cultivation, but he didn't care too much about this matter.
Could it be that the Qi and Ji clans are eyeing this mine?
Sure enough, the second elder said with a gloomy face: "After you said it that day, we sent someone to investigate, and the mine was indeed rich in spirit stones. However, there is a five-grade spirit beast around, named Three-Eyed Red Jiao, which is extremely difficult. ”
"Later, several True Yuan Five Qi masters in the clan tried their best to get rid of the two Three-Eyed Red Jiao, and opened a hole around the mine before they found a batch of spirit stones. ”
"But recently, the Qi tribe and the Ji tribe don't know where to get the news?they actually sent people to attack the clan's masters and tiger mercenary groups, killing and wounding a lot, according to reliable information, the Qi tribe has sent more people, as if they are determined to take the mine. ”
"What?"
Ning Bufan clenched his fists when he heard this, and a wave of anger arose in his heart, this mine was mined by the brothers of the Tiger Mercenary Group who had died many times, and this gang of bastards of the Qi clan actually wanted to go down again, it was simply hateful!
"Fan'er, I didn't want to trouble you about this. But the current situation in the clan is extremely bad, and most of the masters have been sent to various industries to guard, can you ......?"
The Great Elder hesitated a little, and only said after a while, "Can you go to the Spirit Weapon Workshop and ask Master Gongye to come forward to stop him." As long as the Qi clan can stop, all the spirit-level ores mined in the future will be sold to the Spirit Weapon Workshop at half price!"
"Half price?" As soon as the Great Elder said this, many people around him gasped.
The appearance of this spirit-level mine made many people of the Ning nationality very happy. Now the Ning clan has taken a fancy to this mine, hoping to use these spirit stones to redeem a little disadvantage.
I didn't expect the Great Elder to directly say half the price, which would cost a considerable amount of profit.
However, after Ning Bufan heard it, he was silent.
It's not that he doesn't want to come forward, but after he has been in contact with Master Gongye, he knows that he will never participate in the battle between the families, last time Ning Bufan was chased and killed by the two elders of the Qi clan, and the master sent the shopkeeper of the Spirit Weapon Workshop to stop it, which is already an extremely exception.
Ning Bufan knew that even if he pleaded, I was afraid that Master Gongye would not agree, because this was the rule of the Izumo Empire, and the master would not be able to disobey him.
"Great Elder......
When everyone saw Ning Bufan's expression, their hearts gradually sank. They also knew the rules of the Spirit Weapon Workshop, which was originally just a rush to the doctor, but they gradually reacted at this moment.
It's just that...... The Ning clan really can't mobilize manpower to support, is it difficult to watch this mine fall into the hands of the Qi clan?
"Who is the Qi clan leading this time?" Ning Bufan suddenly asked.
The second elder sighed, originally with his cultivation, the people sent by the Qi clan didn't pay attention to it at all. But those top masters of the Qi clan are also eyeing him, and once he makes a move, I am afraid that the consequences will be extremely serious.
"It seems to be the two elders of the Qi clan, Elder Qing and Elder Peace, as well as Qi Yuan's second son, Qi Wen. ”
When Ning Bufan heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. It seems that the people who shot this time are all old acquaintances, Elder Qing and Elder Peace are the ones who chased and killed him last time, and Qi Wen, who was defeated by Ning Bufan who was angry with Zhenyuan in the forest, dropped the Ruyi bag containing a lot of treasures.
"Great Elder, you don't need to ask Master Gongye, I'll go this time!"
"What? No!" the Elders and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly stopped them.
This time, the two elders of the Qi clan are the masters of the five qi of the True Yuan Realm, how can Ning Bufan be an opponent? If something happens, it will be a great loss for the Ning clan!
"Don't worry, Elder, Master Gongye let out his words that day, before the hunting in Wuyang, the Qi clan probably didn't dare to kill me. Moreover, what the Qi clan wants to deal with me most now is that Qi Hao, if he doesn't appear, how can the rest of the Qi clan do anything to me?" Ning Bufan said confidently.
Seeing that the people of the Elders' Council were still shaking their heads, Ning Bufan said helplessly: "In this way, reveal my departure from the city to the Spirit Weapon Workshop, in this case, the people of the Qi clan will always be jealous." In case something happens to me, the people of the Qi tribe will not be able to escape. ”
"This ......" The Great Elder, Second Elder, and the others looked at each other and hesitated.
"Grandpa, don't hesitate, I think the young patriarch's idea is feasible. If the mine is robbed, we will be almost defeated. Ning Dan on the side suddenly said: "This time, I will accompany the young patriarch." ”
"I'll go too. Ning Qingqing glanced at the second elder and also stood up. Her beautiful face was full of anger, and it was obvious that she couldn't tolerate what the Qi clan was doing.
"I ...... Go too. At this time, Ning Meng, who had been standing at the end, also said.
Ning Bufan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ning Meng to take the initiative to come out. However, looking at the latter's eyes, Ning Bufan smiled slightly, and said to the elders who were still hesitant: "There are four of us, and there are masters outside the clan, even if you meet someone from the Qi clan, you should not be afraid." ”
"Okay. The Great Elder finally nodded and reminded, "In case of danger, evacuate quickly, you are much more important than a mine. ”
Ning Bufan and the others nodded, and then left.
............
In order to fear that the Qi people would find out, the four of them disguised themselves a little, and then quickly rushed out of the Wuyang City Gate and headed towards the forest.
According to the route given by the Council of Elders, Ning Bufan and the others quickly approached the mine, surrounded by tall trees and dense shrubs, and there was no road to walk at all.
This area is already deep in the forest, and it is likely that there will be powerful spirit beasts above the fifth grade, if it weren't for this mine, I'm afraid the mercenary group wouldn't be close here.
Just as they were looking for their way, a scream rang out.
"Do you still want to run? Let you go against the Qi clan, it is a dead end. ”
When Ning Bufan and the four of them heard the voice, a trace of murderous aura suddenly appeared on their faces. They glanced at each other, and the wind was blowing under their feet, and their bodies rushed out like lightning.
Flying over a bush, I saw a clearing in front of me, drenched in blood, and the corpse was lying on the ground.
At this moment, there are some people wearing Qi costumes, holding swords in their hands, and they are slashing at several people lying on the ground, and looking at their clothes, it is from the Tiger Mercenary Group.
"Die. ”
The mercenaries looked at the sword that slashed over, and a wave of fear hit their hearts, and just as they closed their eyes and waited for death, suddenly several breaths rushed over from the side, hitting those Qi people.
They screamed and fell out together, and five or six people vomited blood and fell to the ground on the spot, and a few of them convulsed, screaming: "You, you wait, our Qi people will come immediately......"
Before the words in their mouths were finished, Ning Meng on the side had already flown up, slapped left and right, and the continuous palm wind instantly broke their hearts.
"You ...... It's the people of the Ning tribe!" The few mercenaries who survived were overjoyed and stammered.
Ning Bufan nodded and asked, "What's going on in the mine?"
"The situation is very bad, all the masters of the Ning clan who came a few days ago were injured, and after the Qi clan retreated last time, they sent a lot of people this time, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold it. A few mercenaries said fearfully.
"What, are they all injured?" Ning Dan and the others were taken aback, the people sent by the clan this time were also masters of the five qi of the True Yuan Realm, it seemed that the Qi clan was really killed.
"The second batch of Qi people hasn't arrived yet?"
"Not yet, but they are divided into several ways, and it is estimated that they will be soon. ”
Ning Bufan's eyes flashed with a cold light when he heard this, and he said to himself: "Hmph, since you haven't arrived yet, don't think about it again." ”
After letting a few mercenaries return to the camp, Ning Dan and Ning Qingqing glanced at each other and asked, "What should I do next?"
"No!" Ning Bufan said in a deep voice: "Such a good ambush opportunity, don't waste it." ”
Ning Qingqing looked at Ning Bufan's face full of killing intent, and couldn't help but shudder, she faintly felt that Ning Bufan seemed to be completely different from more than a year ago.
"Let's split into two teams and go separately to find the Qi people. ”
"Divided into two teams?" Ning Dan was taken aback when he heard this.
Among the four people, Ning Dan has just entered the four qi of the True Yuan Realm, Ning Qingqing is about the peak of the three qi, and Ning Meng is also about the strength of the three qi, and they add up, I am afraid that they can only barely fight against one elder, and according to intelligence, the Qi clan directly sent two elders.
"Then I'll be in a group with you. Ning Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said.
"No, you can barely protect yourself in groups of three. Since the other party is acting separately, I hope you can hold back one of the elders!"
"And the rest of the one, leave it to me!"
Ning Bufan looked at the depths of the forest, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
