Chapter 118: The Killer
Since Ning Bufan returned to the clan, his prestige has reached its peak, sweeping more than a dozen masters of the Qi clan in one hour, such deeds have spread wildly in the Ning clan like wings, and soon even the children in the clan will know about it.
And now everywhere Ning Bufan went, all the clansmen hurriedly saluted when they saw him, looking at him with a hint of reverence and curiosity.
If you hadn't heard it with your own ears and everyone passed it on, who would have thought that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could do such a shocking thing?
In this way, it made Ning Bufan a little headache, sometimes he was just bored in the yard, and if he wanted to go out for a walk, he attracted a large number of onlookers, and many young women in the clan had their eyes shining and secretly sent Qiu Bo.
"Ning Bufan, have you been in the limelight lately?"
A woman walked in outside the door, her face was quite beautiful, her skin was white and tender, her eyes fluctuated like the spring pond water, her green hair hung behind her, her posture was graceful, and her gestures seemed to have a faint fragrance of flowers.
"Sister Qingqing, you can spare me. If this continues, I'm going to find a mountain to live in. ”
In the courtyard, a young man sat on a rock, surrounded by a faint light. When he heard the woman speak, he hurriedly stood up and greeted her with a wry smile.
"Hmph, if you get cheap, you still sell well, I don't know how many people in the clan are jealous of you?" Ning Qingqing smiled.
"Is there anyone else jealous of me? Are you jealous that I can see Sister Qingqing every day?"
"...... you" Ning Qingqing's face turned red when she heard this, and she didn't dare to look directly at the young man opposite, but then reacted again, pretending to be angry: "I am also your eldest sister, you have been so complacent recently, you dare to talk to me like this? Be careful I tell the Great Elder." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. Seeing this, Ning Bufan hurriedly said goodbye.
"This is what the Great Elder asked me to give you, and they are all the latest affairs of the clan, so let you take a look. Ning Qingqing smiled in her eyes and put down the things in her hand.
"Hey, these things will be decided by the elders, why do you leave them to me?" Ning Bufan looked at these thick documents, and his head suddenly widened.
"You are also the patriarch anyway, you can't ignore anything at all, if you spread it to the clansmen, I'm afraid your newly established image will be ruined again. Ning Qingqing took out the momentum of the eldest sister and began to teach Ning Bufan a lesson.
Ning Bufan shook his head helplessly, picked it up and looked at it casually, and found that most of the content had been approved by the Council of Elders, so he put it down directly.
"By the way, Sister Qingqing, how is the situation in the city lately?"
Ning Qingqing said with a hint of excitement in her eyes: "Since you repelled the masters of the Qi clan, the news quickly spread to the whole city, and now many small forces have begun to wait and see, and they dare not express their position. ”
Ning Bufan nodded, most of these small forces are grass on the wall, and they can only follow the strong, and now that the battle between the Qi clan and the Ning clan has gradually come to the table, it is normal for them not to dare to act.
"There is also the Ji clan, the Great Elder sent someone forward, and they promised to form an alliance, if the Qi clan makes a move, then the Ji clan will not stand idly by. ”
"But ......" Ning Qingqing suddenly paused, looked at Ning Bufan with a hint of strange eyes, and said slowly: "Ji Hongyun of the Ji clan, after hearing that you single-handedly defeated the master of the Qi clan, she shouted instead, saying that she had also learned a powerful method and wanted to learn from you." ”
"What?" Ning Bufan screamed when he heard this, and laughed, he naturally remembered the girl in red, although she was about the same age as him, she had a young face, and she did and spoke with a hint of coquettishness.
In fact, Ning Bufan has a good impression of her, but he also thinks that she is a little difficult, which can be seen from Ji Kang and Ji Yuan's inability to take her.
"Does she have any holiday with you?" Ning Qingqing asked, her tone a little strange.
"No, it's nothing, I guess she saw me famous, so she wanted to beat me and make herself more famous. Ning Bufan laughed.
"Hmph, don't be complacent, Ning Dan and I have been cultivating hard recently and have entered the five qi of the True Yuan Realm, and Cousin Ning Meng has made rapid progress, and now they have reached the sixth qi. Ning Qingqing looked at his smug appearance and then said.
"Really?"
Ning Bufan was also a little surprised when he heard this, although he said that he had cultivated extremely fast in the past year, far beyond ordinary people, and he was probably already a goblin-like existence in everyone's hearts, but he himself knew that this was also thanks to the help of Izumo Wei's predecessors and Night Pupil in the Dragon Battle Cave.
If it weren't for the fact that Izumo Wei's predecessor left him an extremely strong energy, and the night pupil used the opportunity to restore his soul to help him absorb it, he would now estimate that he would be at most the strength of the six to seven qi of the True Yuan Realm.
It seems that Ning Meng's talent is really good, Ning Bufan vaguely remembers that Ning Meng actually has a trace of Ning clan's blood in his body, although it was taken from him, but Ning Bufan no longer cares.
"By the way, Ning Dan, Ning Meng, and many elders went to worship the ancestral tomb this time, did they come back?"
Ning Bufan suddenly asked, Originally, this ancestral sacrifice, as the new patriarch, he also wanted to go over together.
But the Council of Elders insisted on letting Ning Bufan stay in the clan on the grounds that the Qi clan would move at any time during the recent period, and he knew that the Council of Elders was afraid that the news would leak out, and the Qi clan would send people to ambush.
I don't know why, Ning Bufan always has a bad premonition in his heart, although the location of the ancestral tomb is very hidden, and the clansmen are closely guarded every time they go, he still has a faint worry.
At this moment, a steward suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard, looking panicked.
"Patriarch, Miss Qingqing, the elders will let you hurry to the inner hall. ”
Ning Bufan and Ning Qingqing glanced at each other, their faces instantly sank, they thought of one thing in their minds at the same time, and looking at the look of this steward, the worst seemed to have happened.
Ning Bufan's expression was solemn, and he didn't care about anything else, he walked directly in the direction of the inner hall, he was anxious in his heart, his feet were like the wind, and the speed was extremely fast, even Ning Qingqing behind him couldn't catch up.
After walking in, Ning Bufan instantly saw several corpses lying on the ground, and after taking a closer look, he found that it was actually a few elders, and they were not weak before they were alive, at least they also had the seven qi of the True Yuan Realm.
"Huh?" After Ning Qingqing behind him came in, when he saw the scene in the hall, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What's going on?" Ning Bufan asked with a hint of calm in his eyes.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder sat in the hall, their faces were also full of anger, these elders were the ones who went to the ancestral tomb with Ning Dan and Ning Meng to worship their ancestors, but they had only been there for two days, and they died inexplicably.
Everyone present knew that this murderer would be no one else except the Qi clan.
Since Ning Bufan repelled the masters of the Qi clan, they did not move abnormally, and the silence was terrifying, I thought that the Qi clan was aware of their own losses, so they swallowed their anger, but they didn't expect that the time to come finally came.
"This time, the five elders went there, all of them died, Dan'er was also seriously injured, but some of the weaker clansmen were not injured at all, and they sent Dan'er and the elders back. ”
The Great Elder's always peaceful face also showed a strong anger, the battle between ordinary families would never be so ruthless, but this time the Qi clan not only killed the elders of the Ning clan, but also destroyed the ancestor worship of the Ning clan.
This alone has added to the hatred between the two races.
"How is Cousin Ning Dan?" Ning Bufan asked with a calm face.
"It's okay for the time being, although the injury is serious, there is no fear for life. The Great Elder said.
Ning Bufan felt a little strange in his heart, since the Qi clan had sent these masters, why did they only attack the elders? On the contrary, those junior clansmen had nothing to do? Could it be that they were demonstrating?
Moreover, how did they know the location of the ancestral tomb of the Ning people?
In an instant, Ning Bufan couldn't help but think of several blood-red figures, and he suddenly remembered that when the Great Elder took the whole clan to worship the ancestors and test the bloodline, a group of mysterious blood-clothed masters suddenly came to the ancestral tomb.
The two leaders are even more terrifying strength of the Xuan Mind Realm, if it weren't for Ning Bufan who finally killed one and scared one away with the residual power of the old ancestor, I'm afraid that the Ning clan would suffer a catastrophe at that time.
"Wait, what about Ning Meng?" Ning Bufan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.
"Mong'er...... Didn't come back!" the second elder said with a gloomy face.
As soon as these words came out, many of the clansmen present were suspicious, could it be that Ning Meng also betrayed the Ning clan?
"Rather he won't. When Ning Bufan saw everyone's expressions, he immediately knew what they thought, and said coldly: "I believe him." ”
"Great Elder, Second Elder, do you still remember the group of blood-clothed masters who suddenly appeared when you worshiped your ancestors last time?"
When the Great Elder and the others heard this, their faces suddenly changed drastically, for the mysterious people who dared to attack the ancestral tomb, the Ning clan naturally had already investigated, but there had been no news, and the group of people came too strangely. Fantastic.
"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid those people are the people invited by the Qi clan, and the location of our Ning clan's ancestral tomb is estimated to have been exposed long ago. ”
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar and shocked.
"Fan'er, you're right, you mean, will it be them who will attack the elders this time?" the Great Elder exclaimed.
Ning Bufan shook his head, that time the old ancestor possessed him, and directly used a terrifying blow, that kind of power, I am afraid that even if Qi Xuan came in person, he would not be able to withstand it.
Those blood-clothed masters are so strong in cultivation that they will definitely not obey the command of the Qi clan. Moreover, the death of a strong person in the Xuan Mind Realm is a great loss for any force. They probably didn't dare to come.
Ning Bufan guessed that the one who shot this time should be someone from the Qi clan.
"Looking at the wounds of these elders, the moves are fatal, and they are extremely neat, which shows that the person who killed them is at least a master of the Nine Qi of the True Yuan Realm!"
Such a strong person must at least have to be taken by the Great Elder or the Second Elder, but now the Ning Clan still needs them to guard, and the clan can't send others to deal with such a thing.
For a while, everyone thought of this situation, and there was silence in the hall, and they were extremely sad and angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Ning Qingqing's eyes couldn't help but roll down tears, and she only hated herself for being too weak.
Ning Bufan's fists clenched, anger flickering in his eyes like flames. The Qi tribe's move is almost equivalent to a declaration of war, and it is the kind that is endless. And the Ning clan will never be able to back down.
"Great Elder, Second Elder, leave it to me this time. ”
