"What should I do now, do I just stand there?"

A mine thug asked through gritted teeth.

"What if you don't stand, can you rush up directly, can you beat Chu Chennan?"

"But ......"

The mine thugs were angry: "Damn, how can he resume his cultivation, if he is still a waste, how can he be so troublesome?"

Yes, if Chu Chennan is still one, how good it would be if he didn't have the slightest cultivation.

In that case, everything is still business as usual, they are still powerful, and Chu Chennan is still at their mercy.

But alas, this is just a fantasy.

Today's Chu Chennan is already an existence that they dare not provoke.

So even if they are half angry, they can only hold back, and they dare not make the slightest move.

"Boy, what the hell do you want to do?"

An Iron Knight asked with a grim face.

"Don't worry, Li Yunxiao won't die for the time being. ”

Chu Chennan said lightly: "Go back and tell Li Kun that I will enter the city during the Oiran Conference, and before that, if Linglong is missing a hair, I will let Li Yunxiao pay for his life." ”

After speaking, he mentioned Li Yunxiao and left directly.

Everyone was unwilling, but they didn't dare to stop it at all, so they could only send people back to the city to report it.

......

Lingshi City, the city lord's mansion.

The atmosphere in the lobby was solemn and depressing.

Feng Jin, the commander of the city defense army, turned pale and looked at the city lord Li Kun carefully.

"You mean, the young city lord was captured by that kid?"

Li Kun's face was expressionless.

"Yes...... Yes!"

Feng Jin was sweating profusely: "Lord City Lord, the people who were sent to protect the young master are all first-class masters in the army, but that kid has actually resumed his cultivation, and there is a master by his side, and the little ones can't stop him at all." ”

"Did you find out the identity of that woman, was it sent by the Chu family?"

"Despicable and incompetent, that woman seems to have appeared out of thin air, and she can't find out the origin at all. ”

"Rubbish!"

"The lord of the city atoned for his sins!"

Feng Jin puffed down and said in horror: "Immediately mobilize the city defense army and enter the Lingnan Mountains to search, and you will definitely be able to find Chu Chennan." ”

"No need, the city defense army still has to protect Lingshi City, and it can't be transferred out of the city on a large scale. ”

Li Kun waved his hand: "Wait a minute, you go to the Evil Wolf Gang, let them go all out to hunt down Chu Chennan, and tell them that as long as they can catch that kid, the city lord will definitely be rewarded." ”

"This ......"

Feng Jin hesitated: "City Lord, the Evil Wolf Gang is a gang of robbers after all, let them make a move, what if they hurt the young city lord?"

The Evil Wolf Gang is a group of robbers outside Lingshi City, numbering as many as thousands, who often commit crimes in the Lingnan Mountain Range, robbing passing pedestrian caravans.

Over the years, Lingshi City has sent a large army to encircle and suppress it more than once, but it has never been able to eliminate the Evil Wolf Gang.

On the surface, it seems that Lingshi City is powerless to exterminate it, but in fact, the real reason is because the Evil Wolf Gang has a lot of relationship with Li Kun.

Li Kun has been in charge of Spirit Stone City for many years, so he naturally has many opponents.

But many times in order to take care of his reputation, he can't do it himself, so he can only secretly spend a lot of money to let the Evil Wolf Gang take action.

On the other hand, with Li Kun secretly communicating behind his back, Lingshi City wants to exterminate the Evil Wolf Gang, and naturally it will be defeated repeatedly.

However, the Evil Wolf Gang is a robber after all, and they have no scruples about doing things, so Feng Jin is very afraid of Li Yunxiao and what will happen to him.

Li Kun waved his hand expressionlessly: "It's okay, it's best if the young city lord can save it, but the most important thing is to catch Chu Chennan, after all, that is the person the king wants, if you have to choose one of the two......"

He didn't say the latter words, but what it meant, Feng Jin already understood.

The city lord has not only one son, but if he dies a young city lord, he will be replaced by another one.

But if Chu Chennan is allowed to escape, then the king will blame him, and the power of the city lord will not be kept.

This seems to be the wisest option.

But thinking that Li Kun didn't even care about his son's life in order to catch Chu Chennan and curry favor with the king, Feng Jin shuddered.

He sighed secretly in his heart and said: "City Lord, rest assured, the Evil Wolf Gang has been operating in the Lingnan Mountain Range all year round, and they are far more familiar with it than the city defense army, and they will definitely be able to catch Chu Chennan." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Kun nodded: "Also, send someone to me to secretly monitor Huayulou, and before Chu Chennan is caught, he must not let that maid of mine escape from our sight." ”

"Yes, let's do it!"

......

Lingnan Mountains, in a hidden cave.

Li Yunxiao was thrown to the ground and his bones hurt all over his body.

He scolded: "The surname Chu, you are also the young master of the Chu family, you actually kidnap hostages despicably, and you are not afraid of insulting your Chu family?"

"The Chu family is just too square, so they will end up like this. ”

Chu Chennan sneered: "You should be glad that you are still useful, if it weren't for Linglong's safety, I would be happy to kill you now!"

"You dare!"

Li Yunxiao gritted his teeth: "The surname is Chu, you'd better let me go back to the city, otherwise my father will definitely cut you with a thousand knives, making your life worse than death." ”

"Rest assured, you'll go back, but not now. ”

Chu Chennan sneered and waved his hand, and the sword qi directly sealed Li Yunxiao's meridians, making him fall into a coma.

He is not interested in serving people, so let Li Yunxiao sleep in the cave, as a sevenfold martial artist of the Lifespring Realm, he has not eaten or drunk for ten days and a half, and he should not starve to death.

Of course, even if he did starve to death, he wouldn't care.

After all, letting Li Yunxiao live was just to ensure that Li Kun didn't dare to move Linglong, and when the Oiran Conference began, he was confident that even if there were no hostages, he would have enough strength to rescue Linglong.

Nie Xiaoqian walked over: "Your Majesty, since you have already captured Li Yunxiao as a hostage, why don't you just use him to exchange Linglong with the Spirit Stone City Lord?"

"It's useless, Li Kun can't agree to the exchange at all. Chu Chennan shook his head.

The Chu family has been fighting with the Li family for many years, and he naturally knows Li Kun quite well.

This man is ruthless and sees power above all else.

In order to retain power, Li Kun can definitely not recognize his six relatives.

"Okay, let's continue to cultivate, if we want to rescue Linglong, we still have to rely on our own strength in the end. ”

Chu Chennan closed his eyes and once again let Nie Xiaoqian possess him to help run the exercises, while he himself continued to practice the sword technique.

Time passed quickly, and soon another three days passed.

With Nie Xiaoqian's help, Chu Chennan's progress was still very fast, and he finally made another breakthrough and stepped into the sixth level of the Lifespring Realm.

This improvement speed can be said to be shocking, but he still doesn't dare to slack off.

Martial cultivators not only rely on martial arts and moves, but also spiritual will is also very important.

In the face of a high-realm martial artist, many times they don't need to use their hands at all, just the momentum condensed by their will can crush the latter to a mental breakdown.

Li Kun is known as the number one master in Spirit Stone City, and his cultivation has already stepped into the fourfold realm of the wheel of life.

Chu Chennan thought that if he wanted to rescue Linglong, he had to at least step into the Wheel of Life realm, otherwise in the face of Li Kun, he would probably not even have the idea of doing it.

But there were only seventeen days left before the Oiran Conference, and with the current cultivation speed, he thought it would be a bit difficult to break through the Life Wheel Realm.

Thinking of this, he asked in his heart, "Chang'e, can you exchange some pills from Heavenly Court for me to speed up my cultivation?"
