386;

Behind the Shijia Villa was a forbidden place that few people had set foot on, and at this moment, the head of the Shi family and all the heavyweights in the family had gathered here, standing there one by one, looking at a cave in front of them with a respectful expression.

With the sound of rock rubbing, I saw the heavy stone door at the entrance of the cave slowly rise, revealing a dark cave entrance, and a middle-aged man in a white robe appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Shi family.

Seeing this middle-aged man, including the head of the Shi family, everyone knelt on their knees, and said excitedly: "Welcome the ancestor out of the customs, congratulations to the ancestor for his successful breakthrough and his strength to a higher level." ”

"Hahahaha, after twenty years of retreat, I finally took a deeper understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth, and successfully broke through the four heavens and stepped into the realm of the five heavens, and I am one step closer to the Xuan Emperor." The middle-aged man laughed, full of excitement.

"The ancestor is amazingly talented, and it is just around the corner to step into the realm of Emperor Xuan in the future, and my Shi family will be glorious for eternity because of the existence of the ancestor." An old man patted his ass with a flattering smile.

A smile appeared on the face of the ancestor of the Shi family, and he said: "When I reach the realm of the Nine Heavens of Xuanzun, I will try to fuse with the Heaven Turning Seal, once I successfully merge with the Heaven Turning Seal, the chance of breaking through the Xuan Emperor is very high." As soon as he said this, the ancestor of the Shi family looked slightly stunned, stared at the group of people in front of him with a suspicious expression, and said, "What about the Heaven Turning Seal, why didn't I notice the breath of the Heaven Turning Seal." ”

Hearing this, a group of high-ranking members of the Shi family became apprehensive one by one, and after hesitating for a moment, it was finally the head of the Shi family who stubbornly said: "Ancestor, it was our incompetence that we did not keep the Heaven Turning Seal, and we lost the Heaven Turning Seal. ”

"What! The overturning seal is lost! The Shi family ancestor's face changed greatly, and the great joy that had just broken through because of his strength disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Next, the head of the Shi family told the ancestor of the Shi family the whole story word for word, and after hearing these words, it was the angry demeanor of the ancestor who loved him very much that gradually calmed down.

"It seems that it was a wrong decision for me to ask you to take back the Lin family's earth-level soldier Sun and Moon Bow, but I didn't expect that the great-grandson who was injected with the power of the enchantment by me a few years ago also died in it, and the inheritance of my Shi family, the Heavenly Seal, fell into the hands of others." The ancestor of the Shi family muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

"Ancestor, the three elders have left a death mark on Chen Ning's body, no matter where Chen Ning flees to, we can find him, and the lost soldiers of the ground level will be found soon." The Shi family looked apprehensive and said cautiously.

The ancestor of the Shi family slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he spoke: "I have sensed his location, but it's just strange, why didn't I sense the existence of the Heaven Turning Seal, as if I had completely cut off contact with the Heaven Turning Seal, could it be that this person named Chen Ning used some method to isolate the induction between me and the Heaven Turning Seal." ”

The Heaven Turning Seal is passed down from generation to generation by the Shi family, and it has a history of thousands of years, and every Xuan King of the Shi family will use a special secret method to refine it after taking over the Heaven Turning Seal, so that they can establish a spiritual connection with the Heaven Turning Seal, not only can they talk about the location of the Heaven Turning Seal when they are in time, but also use secret methods to forcibly retrieve the Heaven Turning Seal, but the cost is relatively large.

The ancestor of the Shi family pondered for a while, and said: "We have no conflict with the Miyamoto family, and their strength should not be underestimated, now that we have offended the Lin family, it is not appropriate to set up more enemies, you should inform the Miyamoto family about this matter." ”

"Yes, Ancestor!" The head of the Shi family replied respectfully.

"You all go back, I'll go find this person named Chen Ning now, and the Heaven Turning Seal must be retrieved in the shortest possible time, so as not to have any unforeseen changes." Dropping these words, the body of the ancestor of the Shi family turned into a bolt of lightning, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving in a very hurry.

Because he can no longer sense the existence of the Heaven Turning Seal, this makes him a little worried in his heart, for fear that he will lose the Heaven Turning Seal forever, that is the key thing for him to break through Xuanzun in the future and step into the realm of Xuanhuang, without the Heaven Turning Seal, the difficulty for him to step into the realm of Xuanhuang will definitely increase a lot.

After the ancestor of the Shi family left, the head of the Shi family immediately sent someone to the Miyamoto family to deliver the news to inform them of the whereabouts of the lost Broken Cloud Sword, a soldier of the ground rank.

In fact, the Miyamoto family and the Shi family both received the news from Tianxia City at the same time, knowing that Chen Ning, who took away the Broken Cloud Sword back then, not only did not die, but his strength soared to kill the five strong men of the Shi family one after another, and the Miyamoto family also immediately sent a large number of strong people to Tianxia City after receiving the news, and even their ancestors were alarmed, and went out of the mountain in person to ensure that nothing went wrong, because Chen Ning's strength in killing the five Xuan Kings made the Miyamoto family really pay attention to it.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed since Chen Ning killed the five Xuan Kings, and in this short period of two days, Chen Ning has been staying in the inn with the Ziqing Sword Spirit to clear the death mark in his body, but it is really not so easy to remove this mark, Chen Ning and Ziqing Sword Spirit talked for two days before they cleared a little bit, if they follow this progress, it is estimated that it will take three months to erase all the death marks from the body.

Two days later, Chen Ning, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly, a squirm came from his arms, and he saw that the little white tiger who had been sleeping for a long time had woken up and was lying on his cross-legged playing boringly.

The little white tiger also seemed to feel that Chen Ning had woken up, raised his fist-sized little head and looked at Chen Ning pitifully, opened his kitten-sized mouth and made a "woo woo" cry that Chen Ning couldn't understand at all, and a short front paw kept touching the space ring on Chen Ning's finger.

Chen Ning gently touched the little white tiger's small tiger head, and sighed lightly: "Now your demand for heavenly and earthly treasures is getting bigger and bigger, these days I have eaten so many thousand-year-old heavenly treasures, and my strength is still at the primary level of third-order demon beasts, it seems that if you want to be promoted to the fourth order, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in my hands are far from enough." Having said that, Chen Ning was also not stingy, and took out five or six heavenly and earthly treasures from the space ring and put them in front of the little white tiger.

The little white tiger let out an excited cry and immediately began to devour it, eating several thousand-year-old heavenly and earthly treasures in just a few breaths.

After eating six heavenly and earthly treasures in succession, the little white tiger lazily lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to sleep again.

Seeing the little white tiger look like this, Chen Ning shook his head helplessly, and then let the little white tiger sleep soundly on the bed, and he walked out of the room.

In this city, Chen Ning didn't have to worry about someone beating the attention of the little white tiger, and the little white tiger had not yet shown its amazing strength in front of outsiders, so there was no one else who knew its details except Che Guevara and them.

Coming to the first floor of the inn for dinner, Chen Ning walked to a table and sat down, and said, "Little Er, bring me a pound of barbecue and half a pound of the best wine." ”

When the shopkeeper saw that it was Chen Ning, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Ouch, it turned out to be the prince of Chen Ning, the king of the trial, son, please wait a while, the little one will immediately notify the kitchen to make your dishes as quickly as possible." Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper ran to the back kitchen as if he had oil under his feet.

At this moment, there are many people in the inn eating, and the voice of the shopkeeper is relatively loud, so many people have heard it, and at the moment, they all focused their complicated eyes on Chen Ning, some were surprised, some were curious, some admired and envious.

At this time, a middle-aged man and an old man walked over from a table not far away, and without saying hello, they sat directly on the table where Chen Ning was sitting, and their eyes were both staring at Chen Ning fiercely.

The middle-aged man looked to be about forty years old, dressed simply, wearing a cheap cyan robe, and his long hair was draped behind him very casually, without any modification, causing his hair to look a little messy, and he didn't exude any qi around him, as if he was a very ordinary person.

As for the old man, he was wearing a white robe, over seventy years old, with crane hair and a childish face, a peaceful face, and he looked a little bit of fairy wind and bone temperament, although there was no breath leaking out of his body, but just on the surface, people could see at a glance that he was definitely not very human.

Chen Ning glanced at the two of them, and he was silent on the surface, but his mood became a little heavy. Because he can't detect the strength of these two people at all, even if he uses his divine sense, you know, under his divine sense, even if King Xuan uses secret methods to hide his own breath, he will definitely not be able to hide from him, and the only thing that makes his divine sense unclear is the powerhouse of the Xuanzun realm.

"You are Chen Ning?" The middle-aged man sitting to the left of Chen Ning spoke, his tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow.

"Yes, it's down there, I don't know who the two are?" Chen Ning was calm and calm, although the other party was a powerhouse in the Xuanzun realm, he was no different from ordinary people in the city in this world.

"We've been waiting for you here all day, and you're finally coming out, it's unprecedented for a mere Xuan King to enjoy such treatment." The middle-aged man stared at Chen Ning with a flat gaze, but his tone was very indifferent, and continued: "Chen Ning, I am a person from the Shi family, this is a person from the Miyamoto family, all of them are in the realm of Xuanzun, this time we came to return what belongs to us, you know what it is." ”

The Shi family's Xuanzun's indifferent gaze stared at Chen Ning tightly, he wanted to see what kind of expression Chen Ning would show when he learned that the two of them were hermit powerhouses in the Xuanzun realm.

However, to his disappointment, Chen Ning's face did not change in the slightest, and he was still as calm and calm as before, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.

"The two predecessors of the original Shi family and the Miyamoto family are really disrespectful, disrespectful!" Chen Ning arched his hand at the two with a smile on his face, facing the two Xuanzun who were obviously holding malice, it was the first time for him to appear so calm.

"Chen Ning, you already know the purpose of our visit, then, should you return what belongs to us because of this, in the future, our Miyamoto family and your grievances will be written off, and we will definitely not find any excuse to embarrass you." The Miyamoto family's Xuanzun spoke, his tone was very flat.

Chen Ning smiled apologetically and said, "Two seniors, I'm really sorry, you want things, and it's no longer on me." ”

The faces of the two Xuanzun changed, and the Xuanzun of the Shi family immediately opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Where is that?" ”

"Gone, no more!" Chen Ning said with a serious face, in this world, he is not afraid that the other party is a Xuanzun.

"What? Gone? Doesn't exist anymore? The Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family could not maintain his composure anymore, his face changed suddenly, and his gaze at Chen Ning became sharp, like two sharp swords out of their sheaths.

Because the Ground Tier Soldier is so important to them, it is not only as simple as the inheritance of the family, it is also a powerful weapon.

"Yes, what you asked for is no longer there." Chen Ning smiled lightly.

The faces of the two of them changed for a while, but they quickly recovered, because they didn't believe that Chen Ning had the ability to destroy the soldiers of the ground level, not to mention that he was a Xuan King, even if the hermit powerhouse of the Xuanzun realm used the earth-level Xuan Technique, he could not hurt the soldiers of the ground level in the slightest, after all, it was something left by the powerhouse of the Xuanzun Nine Heavens, how could it be so easy to destroy.

The ancestor of the Shi family snorted coldly: "Chen Ning, it seems that you don't want to return what belongs to us, let me tell you the truth, the Heaven Turning Seal has been practiced by my Shi family's Xuanzun for many years, only those who have the bloodline of my Shi family can use the Heaven Turning Seal with the corresponding secret method, and you are not a member of my Shi family, naturally you don't have the blood of my Shi family, even if you get the secret method, you can't use the Heaven Turning Seal, this thing is not only useless on you, but it will also add trouble to you, why not return us, In the future, the grievances between our two families will be written off, and our Shi family will no longer care about you killing several strong people of my Shi family. ”

"That's right, Chen Ning, we are bound to get back the soldiers of the ground level, while we are all good to talk now, why don't you just return the soldiers of the ground level to us directly, and the grievances between our Miyamoto family and you are also written off, I will not come to trouble you again in the future, and you don't have to stay in the world city all the time." The Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family said earnestly.

Although Chen Ning was in front of the two of them, the two of them didn't dare to do anything in the city of the world, if Chen Ning stayed in the city and didn't go out, then they wouldn't be able to get the soldiers of the ground level, instead of waiting like this, why not be a little tactful for the time being, and getting back the soldiers of the ground level is the most important thing.

"I'm sorry two, I've made it clear just now, what you want is really not with me anymore." Chen Ning was still smiling, soft and hard.

The faces of the two Xuanzun of the Shi family and the Miyamoto family became a little ugly, this was undoubtedly a big bad news for them, because what they were most worried about was that their family's earth-level soldiers would fall into the hands of other powerful forces, and at that time, it would not be so simple to take it back.

"Whose hands are the seals of the heavens?" Shi Jia Xuanzun said in a deep voice.

Chen Ning pointed to the sky and said, "He is not in anyone's hands, he has disappeared in this world, or in other words, he has become a part of my body." "Both the Heaven Turning Seal and the Cloud Breaking Sword have been refined into chaotic power to strengthen his body, so Chen Ning's statement is also very appropriate.

However, Chen Ning's later words fell on the ears of the two, but they were shocked, and their faces were full of shock and disbelief.

"What? The Heaven-Turning Seal has become a part of your body, have you merged with the Heaven-Turning Seal? Xuanzun of the Shi family stood up from the chair with a shocked face, and even Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Chen Ning's heart moved, and from the words of the two of them, he seemed to know more about the use of the Ground Rank Soldiers.

"Could it be that the soldiers of the Ground Rank can still merge with their bodies?" Chen Ning quietly thought that this news was very important to him, he was now lacking a weapon to take advantage of, if the ground level soldiers could really be fused with the body, then before the purple and green double swords were refined, he might be able to find a ground level soldier that matched the purple S sword to replace it.

It's a pity that although he knows that the earth-level soldier can be fused with the body, he doesn't know the specific method at all, although the two Xuanzun in front of him know all this, but he can't ask questions, because this is completely a hundred percent effort, and besides, even if he knows the method, it is not so easy to find a ground-level soldier that matches the purple S sword, so Chen Ning also understands in his heart that he can only think about this matter in his heart, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the soldiers of the earth level are left by the powerhouses of the Xuanzun Nine Heavens when they came to sit down due to the limit, so if you want to fuse it, you must also reach the realm of the Xuanzun Nine Heavens, you are only the strength of the Xuan King now, how can you fuse the soldiers of the earth level, Chen Ning, are you really a three-year-old child who doesn't understand anything." The old man of the Miyamoto family shook his head and said, but he was secretly relieved in his heart, once the ground level soldier was really fused with the body, then their Miyamoto family would lose this ground level soldier forever.

Listening to what Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family said, Chen Ning sighed with some disappointment, he didn't want Xuanzun's strength of the Nine Heavens to be able to fuse the soldiers of the earth level, which was still too far away for him now.

"I've already said it, believe it or not, the two seniors, the juniors still have something, so I won't accompany you and say goodbye." Chen Ning didn't bother to eat, got up and left the table and walked upstairs, and soon disappeared in the eyes of the two Xuanzun of the Shi family and the Miyamoto family.

The Shi family and the Miyamoto family stared at Chen Ning's back blankly, unable to come back to their senses for a long time, since they stepped into the realm of Xuanzun, this was the first time they had encountered a Xuan King who did not give them face.

After half a ring, Shi Jia Xuanzun clenched his fists tightly, stared at the position where Chen Ning disappeared with a cold gaze, and gritted his teeth and said, "Since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame us." ”

Hearing this, the Miyamoto family's Xuanzun sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity that this is the city of the world, we have a lot of strength but nowhere to show it, we can't help him at all, but I don't know where he put the ground level soldier, why can't I sense its existence so close to him?" ”

"The soldier of the earth level must be on him, I am afraid that he used some special method to cut off the contact between us and the army of the earth level, which makes us unable to sense it, hmph, he has the death mark left by my Shi family, no matter where he escapes, I can find him, unless he stays in Tianxia City for the rest of his life." Xuanzun of the Shi family said in a deep voice, and then left the inn with Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family.

Soon after the two Xuanzun left, many people left the inn, all of them belonged to the major families, and they rushed back to report what happened here to the top.

And in the corner of the inn, Hu Xiaotian was sitting there alone eating barbecue, and said in a vague tone: "There was no sound from the conversation they had just now, this is the ability to control space, only a hermit powerhouse in the Xuanzun realm can have such magical powers, it seems that Chen Ning's little brother's opponent is really not simple, should I help Chen Ning's little brother." ”

Hu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly: "The family never interferes in the battle on the Xuantian Continent, with the strength of my Xuan King, even if I have this heart, I don't have this ability." ”

……

In the following days, Chen Ning stayed in the inn and cooperated with the Ziqing Sword Spirit to clear the death mark in his body, and almost never walked out of this inn.

During this period, there were powerful forces that came to Chen Ning one after another, claiming that they were willing to solve the troubles he was encountering for Chen Ning, but the conditions were almost always for Chen Ning to join their forces, and even offered more generous conditions, but they were all euphemistically vetoed by Chen Ning, because Chen Ning did not want to add too much burden to his shoulders.

And as these big forces worked so hard to win over Chen Ning, the Xuan Zun of the Shi family and the Miyamoto family also began to worry, because these forces that dared to win over Chen Ning were not weaker than them, and there were even some that made them extremely jealous, but in the face of such a situation, the two of them had no way, and the only way was to wait and see.

Although the two of them also have some relationship, they also know in their hearts that at this moment, few forces are willing to offend Chen Ning, and it is in vain to call it.

A few days later, Qin Ji, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, accompanied by several national teachers, came to Tianxia City to find Chen Ning, and personally delivered a message to Chen Ning on the order of the four national teachers of the Ming Dynasty, asking Chen Ning to stay in Tianxia City for this period of time, not to go out, and not to erect foreign enemies for the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Ji did not stay in Tianxia City for a long time, and after passing the news, he exchanged a few words with Chen Ning and left in a hurry, leaving in a very hurry, so that Chen Ning also keenly smelled that something big seemed to be happening in the Ming Dynasty in the recent past.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, in these two months, Chen Ning has been clearing the death mark in his body almost day and night, after two months of hard work, the death mark left in his body by the three elders has been cleared by him two-thirds, once the death mark is completely removed, then he will no longer have any fear, he can find a way to escape the control of the Shi family and the Miyamoto family, and regain his freedom.

In an inn not far away, two Xuanzun of the Shi family and the Miyamoto family were standing in front of the window staring at the room where Chen Ning lived, the soldiers of the ground level were too important to them, so the task of monitoring Chen Ning was completely undertaken by the two of them, lest anything go wrong.

"Chen Ning hasn't been out of the room for half a month, I heard that he once escaped smoothly from the careful surveillance, Shi Qing, since Chen Ning has the existence of your Shi family's death mark on his body, then you can check now to see if he is still there, but don't let him slip away from under our noses." Xuanzun of the Miyamoto family said in a light tone.

Shi Jia Xuanzun nodded slightly, and immediately closed his eyes to sense the existence of the death mark, but the next moment made his face change greatly, and exclaimed: "It's not good, the death mark is rapidly weakening, and it is almost dissipating, and he has been clearing the death mark on his body during this time." ”

The Miyamoto family's Xuanzun was taken aback: "What? He actually has a way to remove the death mark, no, let's get over quickly, once the death mark is gone, then it will not be so easy for us to find him. ”
