Chapter 116 Liu Siyuan
Ning Daoran was stunned when he heard the news that Huang Chengyan died in battle.
When I first met this Master Huang, he was at Fengzhi Tower.
I have to say that Uncle Huang is a pretty good person, one who knows right from wrong and is responsible.
The death of such a person in battle is a loss to the sect.
……
Outside the Tiangang Hundred Lies Formation, the light of spells, talismans, and magic weapons were everywhere, and the demonic attack did not weaken at all.
As a foundation-building elder, Ning Daoran was too tired to guard the formation every day and had no time to care about anything else.
After Huanglongfang City was breached, what was the safety of those old friends in Huanglongfang City... He was simply powerless.
Chen Ping'er from Qingfufang, Wen Ru from Wenjia Lianfang, mortal Zhou Qi, and Zhong Yan, the fate of these old friends seemed to have turned into duckweeds on the water in an instant, and he could not make the decision.
The war between good and evil lasted for a whole year.
In the late spring of the following year, the major sects of Qingzhou Zhengdao finally ushered in a turning point.
It is said that after the Fenhai Sect was destroyed, an inner sect elder who luckily escaped went to Kuizhou to lobby, and finally persuaded the Jiuyun Sect, the first-class sect in Kuizhou!
Although the Jiuyun Sect is a first-class sect like the Chaos Sect and the Burning Sea Sect, Master Jiuyun, the Supreme Elder, is a late-stage Jindan great monk!
The weight of a late-stage golden elixir can be imagined!
Therefore, under the leadership of Master Jiuyun, Jiuyun Sect sent a large number of monks westward.
Their goal was not to rescue the Chaos Sect, Xingyue Pavilion and other sects, but to directly attack the Burning Sea Sect, the first sect in Qingzhou that was occupied by the demonic way!
A great war broke out in Fenhai Sect and lasted for more than a month.
In the end, Master Jiuyun defeated the Soul-eating Old Demon, Ouyang Po and other middle-stage Jindan demon cultivators, and regained the Burning Sea Sect from the demonic forces!
At this point, the Soul Eater Sect, Tiansha Sect and other demonic sects all felt that they were unable to engulf Qingzhou, so they retreated and returned to their respective territories in the northeast.
However, what no one expected was that the Jiuyun Sect’s real purpose was not to save Qingzhou’s righteous way.
When Master Jiuyun found the old monster Tianhai who was under house arrest in the underground cave, he brazenly put the ancestor of the Burning Sea Sect under house arrest again and placed some kind of secret curse on him.
After suffering multiple threats, Old Monster Tianhai finally endured the humiliation, bowed his head and admitted that Fenhai Sect had joined Jiuyun Sect and became the subordinate sect of Jiuyun Sect!
Therefore, everything in Burning Sea Sect belongs to Jiuyun Sect.
The Jiuyun Sect not only captured the two spirit stone mines of the Burning Sea Sect, but even strangled a large number of the top monks of the Soul Eater Sect, and also took the spirit stone mine controlled by the Soul Eater Sect in one go.
At this point, Jiuyun Sect has transformed into a super first-class sect spanning Qingzhou and Kuizhou!
……
Not to mention Jiuyun Sect's plot in Qingzhou, but the fact that Jiuyun Sect went south and defeated the Soul-Eating Sect and Tiansha Sect actually disintegrated the siege of Qingzhou.
As the demonic forces receded like a tide, the Chaos Sect finally turned off the formation and walked out of the mountain gate.
Ning Daoran, Lin Sheng, and Lin Zhuojun were sent out to recapture Huanglongfang City with hundreds of Chaos Sect disciples.
Their speed is very fast, otherwise once the Jiuyun Sect's power moves south, it will be hard to say who belongs to Huanglongfang City.
"Swish, brush, brush—"
After three escapes of light, the three foundation builders arrived at Huanglongfang City.
The large formation underground in Huanglongfang City has been destroyed, and the city has been looted. Various damaged houses and burned-out spiritual fields are spread out in front of you, which makes people sigh.
"Be careful, there may be remaining demonic monks." Ning Daoran warned.
"Yeah."
Lin Sheng and Lin Zhuojun nodded in unison.
The three of them began to patrol, and after completely scanning Huanglongfang City with their spiritual consciousness, they found that they had worried too much and all the demonic monks had left.
The only people left in the city are some survivors.
In front of a dilapidated house.
Ning Daoran was stunned.
The interior of the house was severely burned, with only the bones of a female corpse remaining. The broken magical instruments, talismans, etc. in the cabinet had long been looted.
Zhong Yan was killed at home.
"Ouch~~~"
The big stupid deer gently rubbed Ning Daoran's shoulder. It felt the sadness of its elder brother at this moment.
"I'm fine."
Ning Daoran didn't say anything more. He just saluted Zhong Yan's body and said, "Friend Zhong, have a good journey. If your spiritual roots are low in the next life, don't practice immortality anymore. It's okay to live an ordinary life."
Together with Da Ben Lu, he buried Zhong Yan's body in the wilderness behind the spiritual field. The inscription on the inscription was "Youning Daoran Li".
After that, we came to Qingfufang.
Qingfufang has been reduced to the ground in a fire, and Chen Ping'er... has disappeared without a trace.
When he came to the Wen family refinery, the place was burned down to only the courtyard wall, and the whereabouts of Wen Zichen and Wen Ru's father and daughter were unknown.
There were charred bones among the ashes.
Ning Daoran didn't know who it was, maybe he was a clerk in the refinery.
He was extremely sad and did not search for his soul.
Return to Qibi Peak.
The demonic forces attacked the mountain, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, and not even a blade of grass growing.
The only exception was Qibi Peak. Although the spiritual fields of Huangshan, Qin Xiang and others were destroyed and their houses burned down, they could at least be rebuilt.
As long as the human body and the spiritual world exist, these are not problems. It’s just that one year’s harvest is missing.
Only Ning Daoran's No. 77 Lingtian courtyard was not damaged at all.
There were just a few corpses of demon monks at the entrance of the small courtyard and beside the fish pond, one of which was even in the early stage of foundation building.
Without it, Ning Daoran arranged two second-level middle-grade blood-transforming soul-chasing arrays at home.
One protects the courtyard and the other protects the fish pond.
In addition, he also left a first-class paper man to guard this place. It was not too difficult to control two first-class paper men in the blood-transforming soul-chasing array to kill an early-stage foundation-building demon cultivator.
It's a pity that the more than ten acres of purple jade rice planted outside have been looted, and a year's work has yielded nothing.
Ning Daoran didn't take it seriously. The several acres of purple jade rice in Lingpu Cave could only be harvested every two or three days. He even arranged a few second-class paper figures to help take care of the purple jade spiritual rice in the Lingpu Cave. All that was consumed was the mana in the paper figures. When the mana was no longer available, he could re-inject it.
The main focus is convenient, fast, green and environmentally friendly.
……
Half a year later.
Huanglongfang City began to rebuild.
The major cultivating families and the Chaos Sect located in the Huanglong Mountains all spent a large amount of spiritual stones to raise manpower and rebuild their shops.
Money makes it easy to do things, and the new Huanglongfang City was quickly re-established.
The casual cultivators who originally lived in Huanglongfang City also gathered together, and not long after, Huanglongfang City became lively again.
Ning Daoran brought Dabenlu to Huanglongfang City again, hoping to meet some old friends again.
Unfortunately, Qingfufang is no longer open.
Affected by the chaos in Qingzhou, the Qingfufang headquarters in Zhongzhou has decided to abandon its branch in Qingzhou.
The last time they suffered heavy losses, they were already afraid.
On the foundation of the Wen family's refinery, a "Xiaoyao Sword Forging Shop" was rebuilt.
The owner of the shop is a handsome young man with a ninth-grade spiritual root. He is in the early stage of Qi refining, but his hammering skills are so poor that even the middle stage of Qi refining can disdain the magic swords he forged.
It is completely different from the previous Wen Family Refinery.
"Sir, is that you?"
At this moment, a rather old voice came from behind.
Ning Daoran turned around and saw an old man in green clothes with gray hair. He looked like he was doing hard work.
His eyes lit up, it turned out to be Zhou Qi, he was not dead.
"Zhou Qi!"
Ning Daoran said happily: "Did you not die during the catastrophe of the devil's path?"
"Alas, I..."
Zhou Qi said: "The war in the world of immortals has little impact on us mortals. That day... a demonic monk came to the villain's house, and he just served him food and drink with all his heart..."
"It's okay." Ning Daoran nodded.
"Young Master is here... looking for someone from the Wen family?"
"Well, do you know the whereabouts of the Wen family?"
"Know a little."
Zhou Qi said: "The demon cultivator who lives in the villain's house is one of the people who participated in the attack on the Wen Family Refinery. The villain heard from them that the head of the Wen Family Refinery, Wen Zichen, is a tough guy, but he was still beaten in the end. Kill.
As for the lady of the family, Miss Wen Ru...she was seriously injured, but was later rescued. The villain heard that the person who saved her seemed to be someone from Huanhua Valley...the Liu family. ”
"The Liu family in Huanhua Valley?"
Ning Daoran frowned and said: "I know, Zhou Qi, the information you provided is very useful, and this is a reward for you..."
As he said that, he took out a small ingot of gold.
Zhou Qi's eyes were burning and he knelt down in a hurry: "Thank you for the reward, young master."
Ning Daoran looked at him kneeling on the ground, and with a glance of his consciousness, he knew that Zhou Qi's life was running out, only about ten years left.
This is probably the last time I will reward him.
……
A few days later.
Ning Daoran decided to go to Huanhua Valley.
It's not that he has any thoughts about Wen Ru, but since he is an old friend, he has to take a look at what Wen Ru is like in Huanhua Valley now.
Moreover, Wen Ru also has certain attainments in weapon refining and formations, and there is something worth learning from.
Ning Daoran may have to use Ten Thousand Years Silver Moon Bamboo and Ten Thousand Years Golden Silk Bamboo to refine the flying sword by himself before forging the elixir. If Wen Ru has some advice and insights, it may be smoother.
"Old deer."
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard that Miss Wen was rescued by people from Huanhua Valley. How about we go to Huanhua Valley, meet Miss Wen, and resolve this cause and effect?"
"Ouch~~"
The big stupid deer wagged its tail and had no objection to the matter.
So, Ning Daoran went to the inner sect hall, exchanged the sect's contribution for a jade slip with a map of Qingzhou, and then took the big stupid deer to escape the light and went to Huanhua Valley.
It was noon.
A forest valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers appeared among the mountains.
This place is Huanhua Valley, and there is a second-order low-grade spiritual vein underground, which is occupied by the Liu family, a cultivating family.
It is said that the old head of the Liu family is a middle-stage foundation-builder, and the new head is an early-stage foundation-builder.
With one sect and two foundations, a cultivating family of this strength has great prestige in the surrounding area.
……
After notifying the identity of the foundation-building elder of the Chaos Sect, the current head of the Liu family arrived.
It was a young man wearing a Confucian shirt and a scholarly look, named Liu Siyuan, who was in the early stages of foundation building.
"Liu has met fellow Taoist Ning. I wonder what is going on with fellow Taoist Ning?"
"I have an old friend named Wen Ru, the daughter of Wen Zichen who used to be the Wen family refinery. I wonder if Miss Wen can be here?"
"Huh?"
Liu Siyuan was slightly startled: "I don't know, friend... why are you looking for Zhuo Jing?"
