Ning Heng left the imperial capital, and Lian Hongchen was very supportive of Ning Heng's idea of wanting to go around, and he would not worry about Ning Heng's safety.

After all, there are few people in the world who can fight with Ning Heng in terms of strength now, even if he meets Ning Xundao and Jiuyin Ghost Mother, if Ning Heng wants to leave, he can go, and he will definitely not be left behind.

What's more, the Divine Bell of the Years and the Universal Divine Bead are in Ning Heng's hands, with these two holy relics in his hands, Ning Heng can go anywhere in the world, and any strong person does not need to be afraid.

Moreover, Lian Hongchen can also see that Ning Heng's mind has not really calmed down since he was resurrected, he has some confusion, and no one can resolve this confusion for Ning Heng, only he himself can slowly digest this confusion.

Going to all parts of the world to take a look may be able to calm Ning Heng's heart completely.

Before leaving the imperial capital, Ning Heng went to the Protector Mansion that Lian Hongchen had built for himself.

This mansion has not been completed for too long, not to mention the extremely wide area, everything looks very new, it can be said that in addition to the imperial palace and the imperial pilgrimage courtyard in the imperial capital, the most magnificent and luxurious is Ning Heng, the protector of the country.

There were stewards and servants in the mansion to take care of it, and after Ning Heng went, he was bowed down by everyone in the mansion.

However, Ning Heng didn't like this feeling very much, so he just stayed in the mansion for a long time and left.

After leaving the imperial capital, Ning Heng returned directly to the northern land of Kyushu, counting that the Golden Crow Sect had not gone back for a long time, although Lian Hongchen had been taking care of it, but after all, it was the place where Ning Heng had taken root in this life, and he had to go back and take a look.

Back in the Golden Crow Sect, Ning Heng had a smile on his face for the first time in a long time, there was no change here, just more prosperous than before.

Everything in the Golden Crow Sect was fine, even better than Ning Heng had imagined, everything seemed to be in order, and there was nothing beyond the norm or impropriety.

Ning Heng knew that the Golden Crow Sect could develop and run so smoothly, and the credit for it was Xu Sansi who was the greatest.

At the beginning, the palace in the north was destroyed overnight, Xu Sansi defected to Ning Heng and became Ning Heng's guest, not only to help Ning Heng deal with various government affairs in the northern Kyushu, but also to take care of the affairs of Jin Wuzong.

And Xu Sansi is indeed a talent in this area, the government affairs of Northland Kyushu are handled by him in an orderly manner, not to mention, Jin Wuzong is also thriving under his management.

Xu Sansi naturally couldn't have so much energy on his own, in order to better deal with the affairs on both sides, Xu Sansi selected three talented and highly qualified elders from among the elders of the Golden Crow Sect to assist him in managing the Golden Crow Sect.

Under Xu Sansi's cultivation, these three elders could take care of almost all the affairs of the Golden Crow Sect.

The one thing Xu Sansi did that satisfied Ning Heng the most was to deal with the relationship between the Golden Crow Sect and the people of the Three Sects.

Before, Ning Heng left a group of people from the Three Sects in the Golden Crow Sect, and let the three top masters of the Three Sects, Monk Kuhai, Qingxuan Daoren and Situ Yin, become the guests of the Golden Crow Sect, and they could enjoy a lot of preferential treatment in the Golden Crow Sect.

In this way, the three sects stayed in the Golden Crow Sect with peace of mind, and no longer considered joining Ning Xundao and the others.

However, so many people from the Three Sects stayed in the Golden Crow Sect, and it was okay at the beginning, but after a long time, all kinds of problems would arise.

First of all, in terms of resource allocation, because Ning Heng had promised preferential treatment to the people of the three sects, it was impossible to treat the people of the three sects badly in terms of resource enjoyment, which caused the dissatisfaction of some disciples in the Jinwu Sect, and felt that the sect did not need to give these people of the three sects such a good treatment.

Fortunately, the Jin Wu Sect has a great cause, and now it is the first sect in the true sense of the North Kyushu, so there is no shortage of resources, even if there are so many martial artists from the three sects, it will not make the resources of the Jin Wu Sect tight at all.

But later, the friction between the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect and the disciples of the Three Sects gradually increased, for various reasons, in short, there was hostility and exclusion between each other, and a situation of mutual confrontation was formed.

Even if the higher-ups above wanted to restrain and stop it, but the signs had already appeared, it was impossible for them to punish them severely, after all, whether it was a disciple of the Golden Crow Sect or a disciple of the Three Sects, they had never violated any precepts, and it was not good to punish them nominally.

After Xu Sansi knew these things, he immediately realized that if this matter was not handled properly, it would easily cause civil strife in the Golden Crow Sect, after all, so many people from the Three Sects stayed in the Golden Crow Sect, once something happened, it would definitely be a big deal.

Xu Sansi thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally came up with the most suitable and safe way, that is, to let the disciples of the Three Sects and the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect completely merge.

Originally, the disciples of the three sects did not have any official identity in the Golden Crow Sect, although the three of them were Keqing, but the disciples of the three sects below did not have such an identity.

And Xu Sansi let these disciples of the Three Sects have the identity of the disciples of the Golden Crow, but they must complete the assessment, if they fail the assessment, not only will they not get the official identity of the disciples of the Golden Crow, but even the identity of the disciples of the Three Sects will be lost.

In this way, all the disciples of the Three Sects have a sense of urgency, after all, they have been suppressed by the King of Beilin before, and they have lived a very miserable life, and now they have finally settled down in Jinwuzong, they are very comfortable in all aspects, and they are naturally unwilling to be expelled.

Therefore, the disciples of the Three Sects found the three of them from the Qingxuan Dao, hoping that they could speak for the many disciples of the Three Sects and fight for some benefits for them.

However, the three of them had already talked to Xu Sansi, and Xu Sansi secretly told the three of them that if the disciples of the three sects wanted to continue to stay in the Golden Crow Sect, they had to integrate into the Golden Crow Sect, and they could no longer hold their own groups to resist the Golden Crow Sect.

The three Qingxuan Dao people also knew what was happening below, and although they were a little reluctant in their hearts, they also felt that this was the only way to solve the problem.

And even if they don't want to? The current Jin Wuzong is directly related to the Empress of the Red Dust, Xu Sansi can tell the Empress of the Red Dust about the matter, and if the Empress of the Red Dust handles it herself, I am afraid that there will be a bloody suppression.

The three of them are not stupid people, and they can become the leaders of the three sects, and their brains are very active.

Although they are strong, they still have to be careful and keep a low profile in the Golden Crow Sect, just enjoy everything they deserve honestly, and they must not have more thoughts that they shouldn't have, otherwise the Red Dust Empress will let them die at any time without a place to be buried.

Naturally, the three Qingxuan Daoists would not interfere with Xu Sansi's measures, and even sternly told their respective disciples that they must obtain the official status of disciples of the Golden Crow Sect, otherwise they would be expelled from the Three Sects.

As a result, all the disciples of the Three Sects participated in the assessment, and as a result, nearly half of the disciples of the Three Sects failed to pass and were forcibly expelled from the Golden Crow Sect, not only did they not get everything, but they also lost their identity as disciples of the Three Sects. With Xu Sansi's measure, the disciples of the three sects gradually integrated into the Golden Crow Sect, although they could not be completely assimilated for the time being, but after a long time, these people of the three sects will inevitably forget that they were originally born in the three sects, and they will eventually live as disciples of the Golden Crow Sect.

As for the three of them, although they still maintain the status of the masters of the three sects, they have long lost any thoughts, and they just want to cultivate in the Golden Crow Sect in peace.

After Ning Heng returned to the Golden Crow Sect, he had a long talk with Xu Sansi all night, and had a good understanding of the various things that had happened during his absence.

For Xu Sansi, Ning Heng was very relieved and appreciative, and deeply felt that it was simply good for this person to come to him.

Of course, although Xu Sansi handled the affairs of the sect for Ning Heng, he could not seize Ning Heng's position in the Golden Crow Sect.

Whether it is a master in the Golden Crow Sect or the many elders of the Golden Crow Sect, it can be said that Ning Heng created it single-handedly, and the entire team of the Golden Crow Sect still belongs to him Ning Heng.

Although Xu Sansi has a lot of right to speak, this right to speak is also given to him by Ning Heng, as long as Ning Heng says a word, he can take back all the power on Xu Sansi.

What's more, now that Ning Heng is the protector of the country, in charge of the entire northern land and Kyushu, he Xu Sansi will not do anything to covet Ning Heng's status unless he has a bad brain.

Ning Heng's influence has long been not limited to a Golden Crow Sect, Northland Kyushu is his territory, and the Red Dust Empress has a very close relationship with him, it can be said that Ning Heng's position in Northland Kyushu is extremely stable, and no one can influence it.

…

On the third day of returning to the Golden Crow Sect, Ning Heng came to the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, which was still the same as it was, even though the Golden Crow Sect was changing everywhere, only this place remained the same.

It was so, it is now, and it will be so.

Ning Heng built a tomb for the Holy Flame Ancestor here, and let all the people of the Golden Crow Sect come to pay their respects, so that all the people of the Golden Crow Sect knew that the Golden Crow Sect was left by this old man.

Although this is just an empty tomb, Ning Heng can only do this, the Holy Fire Ancestor used to live because of hatred, but now he has long been liberated, and he has been wiped out between heaven and earth, this Golden Crow Sect is the last sustenance of the Holy Fire Ancestor, it doesn't matter if there is something in the tomb or not.

Ning Heng sat alone in front of the grave for ten days, most of the time silent, silently recalling the many things he had experienced in this life.

For some reason, Ning Heng felt that he was different from before.

Especially after being resurrected, he always has an indescribable irritability in his heart, and he wants to be completely calm but has no way out.

When facing Lian Hongchen, although his heart can be calm, he only temporarily forgets the worries in his heart.

Now that he has returned to the Golden Crow Sect, Ning Heng feels that his state of mind is a little better, but it has not completely changed.

Ning Heng didn't know what was wrong with him, maybe he had experienced too many unbelievable things, or maybe it was the pressure he was under invisibly that made him unstable.

After all, the Qi Tian Demon Saint will reappear at any time, and there is an even more unimaginable crisis after the Qi Tian Demon Saint, all of this has to be faced by Ning Heng, although he doesn't want to let the pressure crush him, but after all, he is still affected by the pressure.

Ten days later, Ning Heng sighed softly and looked back at a figure that quietly appeared behind him.

"You're here." Ning Heng looked at the person silently and said in a very calm tone.

The man hummed, slowly came to Ning Heng's side, glanced at the tomb in front of Ning Heng, and then bowed down.

"What are you going to do?" Ning Heng asked, a bit of complexity flashing in his eyes.

The person standing beside him was Ning Heng's best friend who had lived and died together, and the two had supported each other for a very difficult time, but unfortunately now they were strangers, and they could even be said to be enemies.

After Jiang Xiaoqi worshiped the tomb of the Holy Fire Ancestor, he looked at Ning Heng with a faint smile on his face.

"I heard before that you died, and it saddened me." Jiang Xiaoqi said slowly.

Ning Heng snorted.

Jiang Xiaoqi said again: "I heard that you are alive again not long ago, and I am very happy, so I can't wait to come here to see you." ”

Ning Heng sighed softly: "Why do you want to see me again?" ”

Jiang Xiaoqi bit his lip lightly: "After all, we got acquainted." ”

Ning Heng chuckled: "You have your position, I also have my choice, we are destined not to be all the way, why bother with the past?" ”

Jiang Xiaoqi was stunned and said, "If I had told you everything at the beginning, would we still be like this?" ”

Ning Heng smiled: "Don't think about things that haven't happened, let's talk about you, why did you come to see me?" Did Ning Xundao let you come? ”

Jiang Xiaoqi shook his head, but nodded again: "It was the Lord who asked me to come, but I also wanted to come myself, I want to see if you are really alive, I am satisfied to see you, as for what the Lord told me to do, I will not do it, and there is no need to do it, under your nose, I can't escape your eyes by doing anything." ”

Ning Heng didn't say anything, the truth was indeed as Jiang Xiaoqi said, no matter what Jiang Xiaoqi wanted to do when he came to the Golden Crow Sect, he couldn't escape his Ning Heng's eyes, and even when Jiang Xiaoqi quietly sneaked into the Golden Crow Sect, Ning Heng had already discovered her, but Ning Heng didn't break it directly, but wanted to see what Jiang Xiaoqi's purpose was.

"Where is Ning Xundao?" Ning Heng asked, he really wanted to know where Ning Xundao was hiding.

Jiang Xiaoqi sighed: "You know that I will not betray the Imperial Master." ”

Ning Heng didn't expect Jiang Xiaoqi to tell him, he just asked casually, if Jiang Xiaoqi could say it, it would be the best.

Of course, Ning Heng had other means to know Ning Xundao's hiding place, as long as he extracted Jiang Xiaoqi's soul memory.

It's just that Ning Heng won't do this to Jiang Xiaoqi, just like Jiang Xiaoqi himself said, after all, after knowing each other, Ning Heng still recognizes Jiang Xiaoqi as a friend in his heart after all.

Both fell silent, neither of them speaking.

After a long time, Jiang Xiaoqi turned around and left, and Ning Heng never got up to look at her, so he let her leave.

"The Imperial Master has obtained a martial art in the cave of the burial god, which is one of the nine miraculous skills, and now someone is cultivating, once this person is out of the customs, he may come to look for you." Jiang Xiaoqi's voice came from afar.

Ning Heng frowned slightly, and when he looked back, Jiang Xiaoqi's figure was gone.

"One of the Nine Miracles?" Ning Heng muttered to himself.

Now there are eight kinds of nine miraculous feats, but I don't know what kind of miraculous feats Ning Xundao got in the cave of the buried gods? Or is it a miracle that hasn't happened yet?
