Cao family, at the gate, three middle-aged men jumped down from the back of the demon beast at the same time, and then one of them came to a guard guarding the door, and arched his hand, "This brother, we are from Yunsheng Sect, we need to discuss something with your family master, I don't know if I can go in and report it." ”

The middle-aged man did not show too arrogant looks, but said in an extremely easy-going tone.

"Okay, everyone, wait a minute, I'll go and report. ”

The guard looked at the three of them sharply, and when he saw that all three of them were smiling, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran in to report it.

The three middle-aged men stood quietly outside the door and waited, with a calm face.

In the Cao family's mansion, in the conference hall.

Chen Ning was discussing with Cao Zhengchun and Arthur in the hall how to deal with the Huang family's revenge next, although it was not certain whether the Huang family would make a big move because of the middle-aged man's death, but it was better to be prepared than to be unprepared.

At this moment, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Tell the family master, there are three people who claim to be Yun Sheng Sect outside, and they want to meet the family master. ”

"What, Yun Shengzong!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's face immediately changed slightly, and then he stared at the guard sharply, and asked, "Are you sure that there are only three of them?"

"The head of the Qi family, there are indeed only three of them. The guard replied with a bow.

Seeing the changing look on Cao Zhengchun's face, Chen Ning frowned slightly, puzzled, "Zhengchun, what kind of force is this Yunsheng Sect and what is its strength. ”

"Leader, Yunsheng Sect is a sect, the sect is located on a mountain more than two thousand kilometers away from Taoliu City, the specific strength is unknown, but it is not weaker than the Huang family, and even stronger. ”

Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice, with a solemn face.

Chen Ning knocked his head with a headache, and said helplessly, "It seems that the allure of this fourth-order demon core is really not small, just left a Huang family, and another Yun Shengzong came." ”

"Leader, in my opinion, this Yun Shengzong is obviously coming for the fourth-order demon core, you see, how to deal with this matter, should it be handled in the same way as the Huang family?" Wu Tian said.

Chen Ning shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's go out and have a look first, and if you don't know what the situation is, let's take the opportunity." ”

Immediately, Chen Ning took Arthur and the others towards the gate of the Cao family at the same time.

From a distance, Chen Ning saw three middle-aged men in robes standing straight at the gate, under the induction of divine sense, their strength was clear at a glance, one was at the peak of the Great Xuan Master, and two were at the middle level of the Great Xuan Master.

"In Xia Chen Ning, I don't know that the three of them are the people of Yun Sheng Sect. Coming to the gate, Chen Ning arched his hand to the three of them.

Hearing this, when the eyes of the three middle-aged men fell on Chen Ning's face, a look of surprise appeared in their eyes at the same time.

Immediately, the person in the lead arched his hand at Chen Ning with a smile on his face, and said, "It turns out that you are Your Excellency Chen Ning, you are really as young as rumored, it is really not simple, the three of us are from Yun Shengzong, in Xia Duyun, these two are my junior brothers." ”

"Du Fei!"

"Dumu!"

The two middle-aged men standing behind Du Yun also arched their hands and said.

Seeing that Yun Shengzong and the three of them had a good attitude, and they were not like the Huang family who made trouble as soon as they came to the door, Chen Ning was also secretly relieved in his heart.

Now he is no longer alone, he can be unscrupulous, because of the existence of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, Chen Ning does not want to offend too many powerful forces, otherwise, although he is not afraid, it will bring ruin to the Black Panther Mercenary Group.

After Chen Ning had a polite conversation with the three of Yun Shengzong in front of the door, he invited the three of them into Cao's house.

In the small independent courtyard where Chen Ning lived, Chen Ning and three people from Yun Shengzong sat at a stone table.

His gaze slowly swept over the faces of the three of them, and he said with a smile, "Three, as far as I know, your Yunsheng Sect is more than two thousand kilometers away from Taoliu City, and the three of you have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and I don't know why. ”

Chen Ning didn't want to waste time, so he asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and then Du Yun spoke, "It's not a secret, our Yun Shengzong learned a few days ago that His Excellency Chen Ning has two fourth-order demon cores in his hands, and the fourth-order demon cores are very valuable to our Yun Shengzong, so the senior brother in charge specially ordered me to come to Taoliu City to see if I can buy the fourth-order demon core." ”

Chen Ning showed a look of regret on his face, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry three, although I have two fourth-order demon cores in my hands, I also need them myself, so I don't plan to sell them." ”

Chen Ning's cultivation required a large number of Xuanshi and demon cores, and the recovery of the Ziqing Sword Spirit also required very large resources, although there were a lot of second- and third-order demon cores in his hands, but these demon cores were not enough for him to use for a long time.

And a fourth-order demon core is equivalent to a hundred third-order demon cores for Chen Ning now, and it is even much stronger than a hundred third-order demon cores, and moreover, Chen Ning does not need to eliminate the berserk energy inside like others to absorb the demon core, he can directly absorb it, so for the fourth-order demon core, Chen Ning will never sell it.

Hearing Chen Ning's words, although they had already expected this to be the result, the faces of Du Yun and the others were still full of disappointment.

The fourth-order demon core is very precious, even with the strength of Yun Sheng Sect, it is very difficult to hunt down a fourth-order demon beast, and there will be a large number of casualties.

And if you go to some first-class cities to buy, although you can buy it, but at the same time, the risk is very large.

Even if such a precious thing as a fourth-order demon core is bought, it will definitely leak the news, and it is inevitable that you will encounter robbers and robbers on the way to transport, in the Xuantian Continent, which is full of battles everywhere and completely respects strength, even the half-step Xuanwang level robbers are no longer a few, and even in some large bandit groups, there are also top powerhouses at the Xuanwang level.

After not getting the result they wanted, Du Yun and the three of them got up and said goodbye after chatting with Chen Ning for a few words.

Back in the inn, Du Yun and the three gathered in the previous room, the windows and doors closed.

"Uncle Shi, this Chen Ning really refuses to sell the fourth-order demon core, what should we do now. The bald man Du Fei asked.

Du Yun frowned and said, "Although this Chen Ning doesn't look very old, but with my years of experience in reading people, I can see that this person is not simple, and his strength is also amazing, although I can't accurately sense how strong his strength is, but just by virtue of his ability to participate in the battle between fourth-order demon beasts, it is enough to prove that his strength is very good, it is estimated that he is a few points stronger than me, and Liu Zhengyun must have been killed by him." ”

"Uncle Shi, are we going back like this?"

It was Du Mu who spoke, and his face was full of unwillingness at the moment.

Du Yun was silent for a while, and said slowly, "With such strength at such a young age, I am not only jealous of his strength in my heart, but also worried about whether he has a huge background behind him, this matter must not be reckless, I must personally go back to the sect and tell the senior brother in charge of the sect the truth." ”

Du Yun's face gradually became serious, his eyes looked at Du Mu and Du Fei, and ordered, "The two of you will stay in Taoliu City for the time being, and pay close attention to the recent movements of Taoliu City, but remember, don't go to Cao's house to make trouble, everything will be talked about when I come back." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi. The two of them answered at the same time.

Although the age of the three seems to be not much different, Du Yun has a very unusual status in the hearts of Du Mu and Du Fei.

Du Yun didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately left the inn after explaining, riding the second-order demon beast at full speed towards Yun Shengzong, which was more than two thousand kilometers away.

The Cao family, in the independent courtyard where Chen Ning temporarily lived, since Du Yun and the three left, Chen Ning has been sitting at the stone table and bowing his head in contemplation.

The allure of the fourth-order demon core was far beyond Chen Ning's expectations.

Unexpectedly, for the sake of the two fourth-order demon cores, even the powerful forces with the half-step Xuan King would not hesitate to come all the way to try to buy the fourth-order demon cores, saying that they were buying, but Chen Ning knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for his own strength that made them feel jealous, I am afraid that the fourth-order demon cores on his body would have changed hands at this moment.

Today, he first sent away a Huang family, and then not long after that, there was another Yun Shengzong whose strength was not weaker than the Huang family, or even a few points stronger, and these two families were not easy to mess with, and they all had a strong man from the half-step Xuan King.

And in the future, who can guarantee that there will be stronger forces or more forces coming to the door.

The powerhouse of the half-step Xuan King was enough to bring a great threat to Chen Ning.

From the previous battle with the three fourth-order demon beasts, Chen Ning had already vaguely guessed that if he encountered a half-step Xuanwang who turned one or two turns, he could still rely on the Ziqing Sword Qi to deal with it, but if he encountered a half-step Xuanwang who turned five or even six turns, the chances of survival were very slim.

The gap between the half-step Xuan King is also very huge, so there is a distinction between one turn and six turns, and between one turn and six turns, the difference is like an insurmountable gap.

The Huang family and the half-step Xuan King in the Yunsheng Sect already made Chen Ning feel a little threatened, especially in the current Black Panther Mercenary Group, it seemed that there were several great Xuan Masters in charge, but Chen Ning knew that once he faced those big families and sects, there would be no chance of victory.

"During this time, I have to improve my strength as soon as possible. Chen Ning made up his mind and immediately returned to the house, only if he was strong could he not be afraid of the threat of any force.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Ning held a third-order demon core in each hand, secretly thinking in his heart, since he broke through the Great Xuan Master and the Ziqing Sword Spirit, he understood that the current Ziqing Sword Spirit was extremely weak, and he had to rely on a lot of energy to recover slowly.

And the strength of the Purple Green Sword Spirit is also directly related to the strength of the power of his use of the Purple and Green Sword Qi, if he allows the weak Purple and Green Sword Spirit to recover somewhat, then the Purple and Green Sword Qi that he can use will definitely be even more powerful.

However, Chen Ning knew how much energy he wanted to restore some strength to the Ziqing Sword Spirit.

Now, there are two ways for him to improve his strength, and he has two ways to do it.

First, it is to directly infuse all the energy into the Ziqing Sword Spirit, so that the weakened Ziqing Sword Spirit can recover as soon as possible, so as to use the powerful Ziqing Sword Qi.

Second, that is to directly use the energy on yourself and enhance your own strength.

However, if he followed the second method, unless he raised his strength to the peak of the Great Xuan Master, otherwise, with his current strength, the threat to him from the Half-Step Xuan King would still be very huge.

Chen Ning thought for a moment, and quickly made up his mind, choosing the second method, working hard to improve his strength first.

Although the power of the Ziqing Sword Qi is very powerful, it is only an external force after all, not its own power.

And Chen Ning still clearly remembers that the fellow who taught him the Ziqing Sword Duel and the two divine swords to himself in the jade pendant said to himself that he should not rely too much on external forces, it would cause great hidden dangers to his future cultivation path, and only his own strength could support himself to survive in this world.
