Looking at this old man, Chen Ning's eyes flashed, and a trace of imperceptible fierceness flashed in the depths of his eyes, without thinking about it, he also guessed in his heart that this old man must be the protector of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Ning stood there and quietly looked at this Xuanzun of the Qing Dynasty, without speaking or saluting.

For this Xuanzun old man, Chen Ning didn't have the slightest good impression in his heart, and the scene where he injured himself a few days ago was still fresh in his memory.

The old man didn't care about Chen Ning's rude behavior, his bland eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void, and he seemed to be able to see Chen Ning's secret clearly, and said with a light smile: "No wonder you can serve as the protector of the Ming Dynasty with the strength of King Xuan, your talent is really extraordinary, and you can reach the realm of King Xuan at such a young age." ”

The old man's tone paused, and seeing that Chen Ning didn't speak, he continued: "There is a hurdle of life and death from the Great Xuanshi to the half-step Xuanwang, and this hurdle is also the only dangerous bump in the cultivator's life, and from the half-step Xuanwang to the Xuanwang, you only need to control the Xuanqi of heaven and earth, this step, although it isolates the vast majority of people who have reached the peak of the half-step Xuanwang, so that they will stop here for life, but as long as there are some opportunities, all people can break through this obstacle and thus step into the realm of the Xuanwang." ”

"As for breaking through from the Xuanwang to the supreme realm of Xuanzun, it will be much more difficult than the previous two bottlenecks, because if you want to become a strong person in the Xuanzun class, you must comprehend the mystery of heaven and earth, and this mystery of heaven and earth is not so easy to comprehend as the Xuanqi of heaven and earth, and it is far from enough to have cultivation talent. And on the Xuantian Continent, there are countless talented people, and there are not no people who break through to the Xuanzun King under the age of fifty, but among these people, there are only a handful of people who can really break through to the Xuanzun realm, and they are either isolated in the realm of the Xuanwang by the mysteries of heaven and earth all their lives, or they fell halfway. ”

Hearing these words, Chen Ning frowned slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Senior, you asked me to come here, don't you just want to talk to me about this?" ”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you listen to me first." Chen Ning, I know that you are the first place in this session of the Dao Trial Conference, and you have entered the Holy Land to cultivate. Although it is said on the Xuantian Continent that anyone who has entered the Holy Land to cultivate has a high probability of breaking through to the realm of Xuanzun in the future, but this is only a possibility, think about how many years the Tianxia City has existed on the Xuantian Continent, and every fifty years, the Trial Dao Conference will spawn a person who has entered the Holy Land to cultivate, so many years have passed, and there are countless people who have entered the Holy Land to cultivate, but in the end, how many people can really break through to the Xuanzun realm. ”

The Great Qing Dynasty Xuanzun looked at Chen Ning's face and continued: "I have a scroll here, which I found in a Xuanzun cave hundreds of years ago, which records the perception of breaking through from the Xuanzun King to the Xuanzun realm. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning had already roughly guessed in his heart what was going on in the mind of the Great Qing Dynasty's protector, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, and said, "Senior, you said so much, it's just that you want to exchange this scroll for what you want from me, right." ”

"Not bad! The old man didn't beat around the bush anymore, and directly stated his purpose: "Chen Ning, the old man can give you this scroll for free, but the condition is that the old man wants to know the secret of your mysterious power, and wrap the secret of how to obtain and cultivate this power." ”

Chen Ning shook his head without hesitation and sneered: "I'm sorry, senior, please forgive me for not being able to agree!" ”

Hearing this, the old man was not angry, this result was already expected by him, and patiently persuaded: "Chen Ning, you think about it carefully, although you have mastered this power and can make you the first person under Xuanzun, but in the face of the strong people of the Xuanzun class, you are as weak as an ant after all, and you will not lose by exchanging the secret of this power for a shortcut to the realm of Xuanzun." ”

"Don't think about it, senior, if you don't have anything else, then I'll leave first." Chen Ning arched his hand, and already had the intention of leaving.

"Chen Ning, if you are not satisfied with this quid pro quo, I can add some other things." The protector of the Qing Dynasty still did not give up, and seemed to want to know the secret of that power very much.

Chen Ning's heart sank slightly, the protector of the Qing Dynasty cared so much about the origin power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit, this was not a good thing, although he was a little worried in his heart, but Chen Ning still did not let go, and said; "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my seniors, because no matter how valuable things I exchange, I won't reveal the slightest secret, seniors, you're still dead in this heart." After dropping these words, Chen Ning turned around and left here, although the other party was a Xuanzun, he did not have the slightest fear in his heart.

After Chen Ning left, the old man's gentle face also became a little cold in an instant, his eyes looked at the hole where Chen Ning disappeared, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" With these words, the air in the entire cave became frozen in an instant, and at this moment, time seemed to stop passing.

After leaving the Qing Dynasty, Chen Ning's mood also became heavy, the origin power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit was actually remembered by the Xuanzun powerhouse of the Qing Dynasty, which was definitely a potential threat to him, although he had the support of the Ming Dynasty behind him, the Qing Dynasty did not dare to deal with him blatantly, but he was afraid that they would secretly attack.

After Chen Ning and Xiaotian's group reunited, everyone also saw the change in Chen Ning's expression, and immediately someone asked with concern: "Protector of the country, Xuanzun of the Great Qing Dynasty didn't do anything to you, right?" ”

"He was greedy for the power in me." Chen Ning said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, the faces of more than a dozen strong men in the Ming Dynasty changed, and they were worried about a Xuanzun, which was not a good thing, and they all guessed the possibilities that would happen in the future.

"Protector of the country, you just go directly to the Ming Dynasty, in our Ming Dynasty Palace, the Xuanzun of the Qing Dynasty will never dare to do anything to you." Tianluo proposed.

"Not yet, I still have a lot of things to do here, okay, let's not discuss this issue now, let's get out of here first, maybe the worries in our hearts are superfluous." Chen Ning said.

A day later, several people returned to the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom again, and as soon as they landed from the sky, a soldier wearing silver-white armor immediately ran over from a distance, knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Ning, and said, "Tell the Lord Protector of the Country, the treasury has been cut, and all the materials have been packed in this space ring." ”

Chen Ning stretched out his hand to take the space ring, checked the things inside, and sure enough, he found that pieces of refined steel were neatly stacked inside, and the amount of them had formed a small mountain.

Chen Ning accepted the space ring and said to the soldier, "Let's gather and go back to the Jason Kingdom." ”

The affairs of the Aquila Kingdom had been dealt with a few days ago, and the affairs of the Great Qing Dynasty had come to an end for the time being, and there was nothing to do to continue to stay here now, so Chen Ning and his group did not stay in the palace of the Aquila Kingdom for long, and left here on the same day and returned to the Jason Kingdom.

This time, everyone was divided into two ways, Chen Ning and the ten national teachers of the Ming Dynasty flew back to the Jason Kingdom in the air, while Qin Wuming's three father and son rode the demon beast mounts with the hundred elite squads who stayed here and rushed back to the Jason Kingdom from the land.

With King Xuan's flying speed, it only took Chen Ning and the ten national teachers to rush to the Jason Kingdom in just two days, and then returned directly to Tianyun City.

When they returned, the 500,000 soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion of the Ming Dynasty, who had left a few days earlier than them, had just returned, and at this moment, the 500,000 troops were all assembled in an open place outside Tianyun City and camped.

Chen Ning and the ten national teachers of the Ming Dynasty flew directly into Tianyun City, and finally landed slowly outside Ouyang Mansion.

The mansion of Ouyang Mansion was completed a few days ago, and the scale was more than double that of before, occupying a surrounding street, only because the most important people in Ouyang Mansion had not returned, so the opening ceremony was not carried out, resulting in such a long time, the family members and guards of Ouyang Mansion have been living in the inn, and before the opening ceremony was carried out, no one dared to live in it without permission, because it was a custom on the Xuantian Continent.

Just as Chen Ning's group of people landed from the sky, a group of people walked over from a distance in a hurry, and the leaders were none other than Ouyang Zhongjun and Bi Yuntian, while Chang Bo and the elders of Ouyang Mansion followed behind.

Looking at Chen Ning, who was surrounded by ten national teachers like stars and moons, Ouyang Zhongjun felt extremely proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Chen Ning, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, but you only arrived an hour later than us. ”

As soon as he saw the head of the Ouyang family, Chen Ning immediately changed his demeanor and greeted him with a smile: "Family master, madam!" ”

"Chen Ning, the affairs of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom have been handled properly, and there are no difficulties." Ouyang Zhongjun asked with concern.

"Well, it's all taken care of, so the head of the family doesn't have to worry about this matter." Chen Ning said with a relaxed smile, what happened in the Qing Dynasty, he didn't dare to say it at all, because it would only increase the psychological burden on the people of Ouyang Mansion.

"That's good, Chen Ning, now that the mansion has been completely completed, since you have returned, then the opening ceremony will be held in three days, Chen Ning, do you have anything else to say?" Ouyang Zhongjun said that in front of the most outstanding disciple of Ouyang Mansion, he seemed to have forgotten the rights of the head of his family, and spoke to Chen Ning in a completely consultative tone.

"Head of the house, you just have to call the shots." Chen Ning smiled.

"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is settled, Uncle Chang, I also trouble you to send out invitations and invite some powerful people in the Jason Kingdom to participate in the opening ceremony of my Ouyang Mansion three days later." Ouyang Zhongjun laughed.

Now that the status of Ouyang Mansion in the Jason Kingdom is not what it used to be, of course, the opening ceremony will be held very grandly, and the owners of the Jason Kingdom have all received invitations, even the Wuji Sect that has had a festival with the Ouyang Mansion is no exception.

And all the magnates who received the invitation of Ouyang Mansion did not refuse, on the first day of the invitation, many magnates arrived in Tianyong City in advance, and these people who came were all the highest-status representatives of each family, in order to show their respect for Ouyang Mansion and the importance of this matter, and to show their friendship to Ouyang Mansion from the side.

This time, the matter of the alliance of the Jason Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty trekking thousands of miles away to defeat the Sky Eagle Kingdom was not only known to everyone in the Jason Kingdom, but even many surrounding kingdoms also got the news, and this matter caused an uproar in this area, which attracted the attention of all forces.

Then according to the location where the 500,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty appeared, they began to slowly investigate, and soon they learned an astonishing conclusion, the place of the Ming Dynasty and the willingness to aid the Jason Kingdom, everything was because of Ouyang Mansion.

Therefore, for the opening ceremony of Ouyang Mansion, not only those who were invited came with heavy gifts, but even some people who were not invited took the initiative to visit the door with valuable gifts. And as the magnates from all sides gathered in Tianyun City, the inns in Tianyong City also ushered in the highest peak in history, and all the inns were filled in one day, so that some mercenaries who had lived in the hotel for a long time had to set up tents in the wild.

Even some of the powerful people who arrived late in the back were also full of helplessness about the inn that was already full of people, and in the end, as a last resort, they had to learn from those mercenaries, and randomly chose an open place to set up a tent, temporarily wronging themselves.

The large number of people who came to celebrate this time also surprised the people of Ouyang Mansion, but then under Chang Bo's arrangement, he immediately expanded the territory of the banquet to the outside of the mansion, and spread to the surrounding streets, with thousands of tables on the table, and invited all the chefs of the entire Tianyong City.

Three days later, the opening ceremony of Ouyang Mansion was officially carried out, but this ceremony was presided over by Ouyang Zhongjun, and Chen Ning did not appear in public, which made many people who hoped to meet the most outstanding disciples of Ouyang Mansion very disappointed.

The opening ceremony of Ouyang Mansion was held very grandly, but it did not last long, it only lasted one day and it ended, and the next day, the guests from all parties gathered in Tianyun City left Tianyong City one after another, just to get acquainted.

After the opening ceremony, the people of Ouyang Mansion also officially moved into the newly cultivated mansion, and at the same time, they recruited a group of guards in Tianyong City. Although with the current reputation of Ouyang Mansion, no one in the Jason Kingdom would dare to oppose it, but the façade still has to be done in place.

In the newly built Ouyang Mansion, there is a largest, most luxurious hall in the center, this hall is built for Chen Ning alone after the opinions of all the elders of Ouyang Mansion, it is Chen Ning's special palace, not only built very luxuriously, even the decoration inside can only be described as splendid.

At this moment, Chen Ning, Qin Zixuan, Guevara, Qin Ji, Dugufeng, Qin Xiao, and Chen Da were gathering at a round table to chat.

At this moment, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Tell Chen Ning Gongzi that there are two old men outside who call themselves the second elder of the Lin family who want to see you." ”

"What, the second elder of the Lin family!" Chen Ning was slightly shocked in his heart, the second elder of the Lin family was a member of the Lin family, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative to find him.

"Could it be that they are here for the Xuanzun skeleton?" Chen Ning secretly thought in his heart, and his face became cloudy.

"Chen Ning, who is the second elder of the Lin family in this institute, whether they are friends or enemies." Seeing Chen Ning's face change, Guevara asked.

Chen Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a former acquaintance, let's sit here first, I'll miss it first." ”

Subsequently, Chen Ning left the room directly, came to the gate of Ouyang Mansion in person, and saw the two old men of the Lin family standing outside the gate of Ouyang Mansion, both of them with gentle smiles, giving people a kind and amiable feeling.

"Two seniors, what kind of wind blew you to me, it really surprised Zaixia." From afar, Chen Ning laughed at the two of them.

"Hehe, Gongzi Chen Ning, aren't the two of us welcome to visit?" Elder Jia smiled at Chen Ning, and called him Chen Ning's son, as a way to express his respect for Chen Ning.

"Welcome, of course welcome, two seniors, please come inside." Chen Ning looked enthusiastic, and then directly invited the second elder of the Lin family into the mansion.

In a secret room in the Ouyang Mansion, as soon as the three of them sat down, Chen Ning said directly to the point: "Two seniors, I don't know if you are here for that Xuanzun skeleton this time. ”

The second elder smiled, and Elder Wang spoke: "Chen Ning Gongzi misunderstood, the two of us came to visit this time, not for the Xuanzun skeleton, after all, you are the benefactor of my Lin family, although the Xuanzun skeleton is important, but my Lin family can't do ungrateful things, and I will not carry the ingratitude of the Ming Dynasty as an enemy, let alone take the initiative to provoke the protector of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning's eyes flashed, he didn't expect the Lin family to even investigate his identity as the protector of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as soon as he heard that the Lin family was not here for the Xuanzun skeleton, Chen Ning was also relieved, hesitated for a while, and continued to ask: "Since they didn't come for the Xuanzun skeleton, I don't know why the two seniors came this time. ”

"Hehe, Gongzi Chen Ning, the two of us came to invite you this time on the orders of the Ancestor, and I hope you can come to my Lin family as a guest." Elder Jia said with a smile on his face. 、

"Visiting your Lin family? Why? I shouldn't have any contact with your Lin family. Chen Ning looked surprised. 、

"Hehe, Gongzi Chen Ning, the two of us just invited you on the orders of the Ancestor, as for other things, it is not for the two of us to know, the fourth young master only needs to understand that our Lin family has no ill will towards you." Elder Wang said.

"Yes, Gongzi Chen Ning, our Lin family has no malice towards you, and in our Lin family, in addition to the ancestor who wants to see you, there is also our young lady who misses you very much." Elder Jia sighed lightly and continued, "If it weren't for some things that made our young lady unable to leave the family for the time being, I'm afraid that our young lady would have been unable to resist coming out to find you. ”

As soon as he heard the young lady in Elder Jia's mouth, Chen Ning suddenly thought of a peerless beauty in yellow clothes, and the scene of getting along in the knockout space of Tianxia City, and asked unconsciously, "Is it Lin Ruoyan?" ”

"Yes, it is Miss Ruoyan, Chen Ninggongzi, our young lady misses you very much these days, this time I went to the Lin family, you should also go and see her by the way." Elder Wang sighed lightly, his expression becoming a little complicated.

Chen Ning sat there and hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise to go to your Lin family, I don't know when to leave." ”

Hearing this, the second elder immediately became happy and said, "Young Master Chen Ning, if you don't have anything important, then let's leave now." ”

Chen Ning was stunned: "Let's leave now, so anxious?" ”

Elder Wang nodded and said, "It's really a bit anxious, because Second Miss has encountered some difficulties, I'm afraid only you can help her, in short, the sooner we go back, the better." ”

Hearing Elder Wang say this, Chen Ning's heart couldn't help but tighten, and said, "Okay, you wait for me first, and I'll go and say goodbye to them." ”

Half an hour later, Chen Ning said goodbye to everyone, and then left here with the two elders of the Lin family, but among the three of them, there were also Xiaotian, Qing Shaofan, Cao Keqin, Dongyi Junbai, and Tianluo, five national teachers of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, as soon as Qin Ji heard that Chen Ning was going to the Lin family, he began to worry about Chen Ning's safety, and insisted that Chen Ning take five national teachers of the Ming Dynasty over, and finally Chen Ning really had no choice, so he agreed to Qin Ji's proposal and brought five of his most trusted people over, which should be used as a façade.

The Lin family was more than 30,000 kilometers away from the Jason Kingdom, and Chen Ning and the six national teachers of the Ming Dynasty followed the two elders of the Lin family after a day and a night of flight, and finally arrived at the place where the Lin family was.

The Lin family is a family force, has been entrenched in a beautiful scenery, heaven and earth full of spiritual energy, when Chen Ning and a group of people arrived at the Lin family, they saw a forest of buildings standing in the mountains from a distance.

As soon as Chen Ning's group approached the Lin family, two Xuan Kings immediately flew from the sky in the Lin family, and finally stopped in front of the two elders of the Jia family.

These are two middle-aged men, burly, with a strong face, a pair of tiger eyes shining, and a huge momentum faintly flowing from their bodies.

Chen Ning looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him, and exuded momentum from them, and vaguely guessed that the strength of these two middle-aged men had reached at least the realm of the Fourth Transformation Xuanwang.

"It turned out to be Elder Jia and Elder Wang." The two middle-aged men arched their hands at the second elder at the same time, and the corners of their eyes kept looking at Chen Ning and the five national teachers of the Ming Dynasty.

The second elder returned the salute, then turned to Chen Ning and said, "Young Master Chen Ning, these two are the elders of our Lin family, and they are a pair of brothers, named Lin Lan and Lin Feng respectively. ”

"In Xia Chenning, I have seen two elders." Chen Ning smiled and arched his hand at the two. And the five national teachers of the Ming Dynasty also arched their hands to the two of them at the same time out of courtesy, but none of them spoke.

Elder Wang continued: "Lin Lan and Lin Feng, these are distinguished guests from the Ming Dynasty, and they are distinguished guests invited by the ancestor. ”
