Or just like Zhuge Zilai, just for a challenge in life.

Everyone always has different choices in such troubled times, these choices are right or wrong, and the Grim Reaper will not give any evaluation, and he will not ask if the path you are pursuing is worth it before taking your life, and will not consider whether you deserve to die.

A traitor is still a hero, and the Grim Reaper never asks about that.

So, what did he ask?

No one ever knew.

Will good prevail over evil?

He won't answer you either.

"Ning Hongyuan is back!" In a secret assembly room, an old man in a blue robe said lightly while sipping tea.

He sighed as if talking to himself, drinking tea.

Next to him sat an old man in a green robe, and in front of him stood a young man.

He was very angry about Ning Hongyuan's return.

Because according to the predetermined plan, Ning Hongyuan should have died in the Forest of Death, and he should not have returned to the Divine Sword Sect unscathed.

Ning Yiwu is too terrible, that Ning Wujian is also not to be underestimated, Ning Kexin is not a simple woman, and now there is another Ning Hongyuan!

The enemy's power is steadily improving, but their strength is declining, especially the unsuccessful son Zhu Xing, who is simply a rice bucket dumber than a pig.

Whenever he thought of this pig-like son, he suspected that his main room must have stolen a wild man outside and gave birth to a stupid pig, even if he did a paternity test, he couldn't believe the authenticity of the paternity test.

Of course, he was the one who secretly held a criticism meeting, and in the end, Ning Yiwu blackmailed 50,000 amethyst coins.

This Elder Zhu looked at the night scene on the horizon and sighed heavily, sometimes he was really envious of Ning Yiwu's blessings, he actually had such an outstanding son.

If you were him, you would definitely be able to feel like this, and if Zhu Xing was your son, you would definitely be more miserable than him.

However, he was still relieved by the fact that the son born to him by another concubine was a very shrewd and capable young man, who helped him match with the old man of the Nine Poisons, so that the entire Zhu family had the capital to completely fight against the Ning family.

He turned his head to look at the proudest son, his face was full of joy, "Kun'er, now that Ning Hongyuan is back, if you fight him alone, are you 100% sure that you can win him?"

Zhu Zekun clasped his hands together and said to his father with great confidence: "If the father wants the child to fight against Ning Hongyuan, of course the child will fight with all his might, but the father please allow the child to tell the truth, the child's actual combat experience is not as rich as Ning Hongyuan,。。。 Over the years, I strongly asked my father to let me go to the Death Forest to practice as well, but my father always didn't allow it, so even if I broke through the strength of the eighth stage of the swordsman, I could fight with Ning Hongyuan's ninth stage of the swordsman, but it's a pity. ”

Elder Zhu said what he wanted to say for him, "It's a pity that your actual combat experience is weaker than his, so you are not sure." ”

"Shame!"

Zhu Zekun felt extremely ashamed, he had long regarded Ning Hongyuan as an enemy who had to be defeated, but Ning Hongyuan's rapid promotion made him feel both resentment and pain in his heart.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, if I let you go to the Forest of Death to exercise your combat experience, I'm afraid it won't be long before I hear the news I don't want to hear. ”

"Why doesn't the father believe in the child so much?" Zhu Zekun was extremely unconvinced, why could Ning Hongyuan go to the Forest of Death to practice, but he Zhu Zekun couldn't?

Elder Zhu sighed, "It's not that my father doesn't believe you, it's that you, Uncle Ning Yiwu, are too cunning, and now the entire Divine Sword Sect's perception system is his person, I dare to guarantee that as soon as you go out on the front foot, a bunch of killers will come after you." ”

"Is Ning Yiwu going to kill me? He is still a dignified sect master! Although I have a deep hatred with Ning Hongyuan, I still have great respect for Ning Yiwu, so even if we win the final victory, I will treat their family well, except for Ning Hongyuan, a bastard!"

Every time Zhu Zekun mentioned Ning Hongyuan, the power of True Yuan was condensed all over his body, and he couldn't wait to torture Ning Hongyuan to the point that life was worse than death in one go.

This became a compulsory course for him to practice every day.

"With Ning Yiwu's style of life, he won't attack his juniors, but have you forgotten that the purpose of our kidnapping of his second wife Ning Kexin back then was to warn Ning Yiwu not to reform and cause her to lose her fertility, but this Ning Yiwu confessed at the time, we thought he was afraid, but we didn't expect that he had been secretly cultivating cronies in order to paralyze us, and he actually broke through the sword master in a short period of time! Even if he didn't attack you, he could put you under house arrest, and even use you to blackmail me! I underestimated Ning Hongyuan back then!"

"Why didn't my father kill him in one go? It won't lead to such a situation! Now, we can only watch Ning Hongyuan grow stronger day by day, I have been at odds with him since I was a child, and now watching him become strong, my heart is even more unpleasant. Zhu Zekun said with some resentment on the side.

He really didn't have any reason to become Ning Hongyuan's brother, because of a childhood humiliation, "You little woman's son, you can't beat me!"

Ning Hongyuan is not a perfect person, his flamboyance and self-confidence when he was a child actually offended many people secretly.

Zhu Zekun is one, so he desperately wants to kill Ning Hongyuan, no matter what way it is.

This kind of sinful thought, like a cancer, slowly sprouted in his mind, and he dreamed of such things.

Elder Zhu stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "You are too young, do you think that our enemy is only Ning Yiwu?" But don't forget, there is also the Ten Thousand Sword Sect that has always wanted to annex us, and has been eyeing the northwest side, and killed Ning Yiwu at that time, do you know the fate and consequences?"

"Father, please speak!" Zhu Zekun asked respectfully.

Elder Zhu looked at his son with such a respectful appearance, and his heart was really comforted, compared to the uncompetitive Zhu Xing, this really made him feel very gratified.

"Once we kill Ning Yiwu, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will definitely think that we are at odds internally, and completely annex our Divine Sword Sect, the cunning rabbit will die, the lackeys will cook, the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden, do you know the meaning of this sentence? Over the years, you have been persuading me to take refuge in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, child, you are too naïve, and now in this chaotic world, taking the initiative to take refuge in the enemy is the most unwise choice, do you know why?" said Elder Zhu.

With that, he sat down again.

In front of his father, Zhu Zekun felt his naivety and sighed inwardly, "Father said clearly. ”

"Even if our family takes refuge in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and gets rid of Ning Hongyuan's family for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, in the end, the control of this Divine Sword Sect within a radius of five hundred miles, is it ours? This Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will only hand over all this to their cronies, this piece of cake, our Zhu family will not be able to share the slightest, and we will be wiped out by their Ten Thousand Swords Sect because of a false crime! So child, although loyalty is worthless, for the sake of a more long-term plan, people have to be loyal on the surface, unless it is Ning Yiwu who takes the lead in doing something extremely unfavorable to us and forcing us to take refuge in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, not that we take the initiative to take refuge in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. What's more, our ultimate goal is not to completely turn against Ning Yiwu, but to take this opportunity to warn Ning Yiwu, and I have never given Ning Hongyuan an order to die, just let those assassins seriously injure him. ”

Zhu Zekun was silent.

Elder Zhu taught his son to be very patient, and once again he was tempted, "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect absolutely can't believe it, once the spy of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wanted to buy me and kill Ning Hongyuan, Ning Wujian, but I didn't agree! Do you know why?"

When Zhu Zekun heard his father say this, he also suppressed his hatred for Ning Hongyuan, and thanked him: "Father, please speak." ”

"In this troubled era, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also has enemies, and there is more than one, after they deal with our Divine Sword Sect, they will definitely deal with Qingyin Valley, Ten Thousand Poison Sect and so on, at that time, how will they view us?

At this point, Elder Zhu shook his head and said, "No, they will only regard us as their henchmen, because they will think that since we have betrayed the Lord for glory once, we will sell the Lord for glory a second time! The third time, the fourth time, by that time it will be too late for you to regret it! Have you read so many ancient books, seen those who took the initiative to defect to the enemy, and have you ever had a good end? Only those who were forced to surrender to the enemy had a chance to save their lives and their families. ”

Zhu Zekun suddenly realized, "Father is high! The child is stupid!"

"The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not Ning Yiwu, even if Ning Yiwu reforms, for the sake of any ideal in his heart, even if in the struggle between his father and him, he wins the final victory, he will not do anything to me, at most let me hand over all the power and most of the money, but the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is different, he will completely erase us from this heavenly world, and the bones of our family will be burned by the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect with soul fire, this layer of stakes, do you know? Therefore, unless you have to, don't think about saying anything to join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. ”

The green-robed old man on the side had been listening, and interjected: "I can't imagine that you old guy still understands these stakes, since you don't plan to join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, why do you choose to be the enemy of Ning Yiwu? I came here this time just to know what you think in your heart." ”

Elder Zhu got up from his chair and roared loudly: "I just want to fight, I just don't want to fight, why did he become the sect master back then, I was not elected to be the sect master!

"When I was young, what was inferior to him! If I hadn't gone bankrupt and inserted a dead soldier into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, would we have been able to achieve the final victory in that battle of the Dragon Sea?"

The more he spoke, the more resentment, jealousy, and pain he felt in his heart, but he still had to vent.

"It's a pity that the old sect master only remembered how he killed the enemy on the battlefield with blood, how he commanded all the soldiers on the battlefield, but he couldn't remember what I did in secret!

"The old sect master always thinks that I am an opportunistic person, thinking that my methods are not clean, if this world is all some clean means, our Divine Sword Sect would have been destroyed a long time ago, where is there today! But when he was selected as the sect master, I didn't be too jealous, thinking in my heart, since he Ning Yiwu is a leaf, then I will be a tree root, and continue to do these shady jobs! But what makes me most angry is that I am not even qualified for the four great holy envoys, and only gave me a useless position! This is unfair, that damn Elder Guo, just an outsider, was able to become the Holy Envoy of the Blue Dragon in charge of military law, and finally called an iron-blooded elder! Ridiculous, ridiculous! That guy was still asking for food at my house back then, and I gave him a bite to eat, and now his position is actually above me! And he still has to point fingers at me! How can there be such a reason in the world?"
