The place where Chen Tingting buried her dead was in the west of the city. Basically no one came and went in this area, so it was very convenient to do shameful things.

Under the leadership of Chen Tingting, Ning Shaoyang came to the place where the person was buried.

A long time passed, and the place was covered with green vines, so that Chen Tingting was not sure where it was buried at first.

However, Ning Shaoyang scanned the area with his consciousness and discovered that there was a newly disturbed soil in that area. He asked Chen Tingting again and confirmed that it was there.

Digging a pit several feet deep is a relatively heavy hard work for a mortal.

But for Ning Shaoyang, the golden elixir of perfection, it is just a matter of magic.

Ning Shaoyang waved his hand and pressed a magic formula. The filled hole suddenly flew up with earth and rocks. A man who was tied up with iron chains also flew up with the earth and rocks, and then fell to the ground with a clang.

"Master is so awesome!" Chen Tingting couldn't help but admire when she saw this scene, thinking that it would be great if one day she also had such an ability.

Ning Shaoyang didn't feel much about such praise and walked towards that person.

With a quick glance of his consciousness, he knew that the man was not dead yet, but was still in a coma.

That person's cultivation level is at the late stage of Jindan. He looks like an ordinary person in his fifties or sixties, but his actual age must be more than that. He is estimated to be two or three hundred years old.

The iron chains tied to his body weighed hundreds of kilograms one after another. However, if he woke up, those iron chains would have no effect on him and would break easily.

Ning Shaoyang did not wake him up first, but blocked all his magic power first, and then woke him up.

The man opened his eyes.

Chen Tingting had been watching next to Ning Shaoyang. Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw the man opening his eyes, she was still startled, her face turned pale, and she held Ning tightly with one hand.

Shaoyang's clothes, said:

"Master, this person is alive again!"

"He was not dead in the first place." Ning Shaoyang said.

How could a monk in the golden elixir realm die so easily?

He looked at the man and asked, "What's your name? Why did you break into my city lord's mansion at night?"

That man had been in a coma for several months and had been buried underground for so long. For a while, he didn't quite understand his current situation.

After hearing Ning Shaoyang's question, he rolled his eyes a few times, then laughed awkwardly and said:

"My Huo Qi, a casual cultivator, passed by your residence. I was just curious and wanted to make some Taoist friends. I had no ill intentions."

Ning Shaoyang frowned and said: "It seems that you don't want to continue living, then I will help you."

The man named Huo Qi already knew that his magic power was banned. Even if the Ning Shaoyang he sensed was only in the early stage of the Golden Core, he definitely had the ability to kill him. He suddenly panicked and said quickly:

"Fellow Taoist, if you have something to say, don't be impulsive."

"You broke into my city lord's palace at night, which is already a capital crime. Now you lie to me, which is even worse. How can I let you continue to live?" Ning Shaoyang said.

Of course he couldn't believe that the other party really wanted to visit him.

First of all, late at night is not the time to visit.

Secondly, if you want to visit, you can't just break into someone else's yard silently. No monk would allow such a thing to happen.

If it's someone you know very well and something very urgent happens, then that's okay.

Breaking into someone else's yard late at night without any sound from someone you have never met before is definitely not a friendly gesture.

It is even more impossible for a monk in the golden elixir realm to have a strong spiritual consciousness and take the wrong path.

Although Ning Shaoyang didn't know much about the secular world of cultivation, he also had a lot of contact with Lu Yue, so he didn't completely understand it.

Although he was very curious about this person's purpose, if there was no way to hear the truth from this person, there was no point in letting him continue to live, so he might as well kill him.

"I told the truth..."

After Huo Qi said this, he saw an extra sword in Ning Shaoyang's hand. The sword exuded a sword energy that chilled him to the bone, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He had no doubt that even if he was wearing a protective robe, he would not be able to withstand the sword.

He quickly changed his words and said: "Fellow Taoist, please be merciful, I am telling the truth!"

It is not an easy task for a casual cultivator to reach the realm of golden elixir. Although it is unlikely that he can enter the realm of Yuanying at his current age, he can still live for a period of time that a mortal can't live in his lifetime. That's it.

It's not worth it to die.

Ning Shaoyang gently waved the Qingming Sword in his hand and said: "You and I have different Taoist beliefs. Please don't say the word "fellow Taoist" again."

Huo Qi felt a little embarrassed, but this was not the time to care about this matter. He could only lower his head and said: "Yes, yes, City Lord Ning is right, I don't deserve to call the City Lord a fellow Taoist."

"Now you can tell me what's going on." Ning Shaoyang said.

"I...I was confused for a moment and listened to others' instigation to assassinate you, City Lord Ning." Huo Qi hesitated for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth.

The Qingming Sword was in Ning Shaoyang's hand, releasing a powerful aura that made people feel fear, and also made him confused. He did not dare to hide anything anymore, for fear that if the other party saw a lie, he would die immediately.

"Who instigated you?" Ning Shaoyang asked.

"People from the Taiping Valley family." Huo Qi said.

Seeing the confusion on Ning Shaoyang's face, he immediately explained:

"There is an ancestor in their family. I heard that he is a monk at the peak of the Transformation of Gods. He is also a great figure in Taihao Clan. He is a deputy law enforcement envoy in the Law Enforcement Hall."

Ning Shaoyang said "Oh" and finally understood: "A member of the Gu Zhenshan tribe? That's no wonder."

Gu Zhenshan died at the hands of head Fang Haoran, but Fang Haoran took action to kill him because he was coerced by Zhuge Mingzhu. It is understandable that the Gu family would take revenge on Ning Shaoyang, Zhuge Mingzhu's only disciple.

He asked: "Is that Taiping Valley family weak? Don't they even have the ability to deal with me, so they can only choose to let you, an outsider, deal with me?"

He thought that if the other party was not strong, he could take revenge now.

"Their family is not weak," Huo Qidao said. "There is an ancestor in the family who holds a high position in the sect. He has no shortage of cultivation resources and techniques. In the secular world, they are also considered a very powerful cultivation family. They have three

There are monks in the Nascent Soul Realm, and there are even hundreds of monks in the Golden Core Realm, so they are very powerful."

Ning Shaoyang frowned.

This kind of strength is indeed very powerful in the secular world, at least it is not something he can deal with now.

Asked: "Since they are so powerful, why don't they deal with me themselves and encourage you to deal with me?"

"They said that there are some people in the clan who are in the sect. The rules of the sect are very strict, and they are afraid that their clan members will be harmed because of such things." Huo Qi said.

Ning Shaoyang nodded, this makes sense.

If they dare to attack him and spread the news back to the sect, the entire family will indeed be affected.

Zhuge Mingzhu doesn't even need to come forward personally, Qiu Yong's people can deal with their entire family.

Then asked Huo Qi: "How did they encourage you to deal with me? Did they give you a lot of reward?"

Huo Qisheng said: "No reward was given."

"Then why did you do such a thing?" Ning Shaoyang didn't understand, "Didn't they tell you that my master is from Taohao Clan?"

Huo Qi lowered his head and said, "Tell me, they said your master's name is Zhuge Mingzhu, and she is the granddaughter of a former elder of Taihao Clan. Although her cultivation level is not high, she has a lot of resources. You are her only disciple.

She gave you a lot of cultivation resources. They told me that if they weren't afraid of hurting their own people, they would kill you and then seize the resources in your hands."

Ning Shaoyang sneered and said: "You have no clansmen in the sect and are not afraid of the sect's sanctions, so you chose to come over and kill me and get those resources, right?"

Huo Qi lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

In fact, that's what he thought.

The people from the Taiping Valley Family did not invite him to kill Ning Shaoyang. They just mentioned to him that Ning Shaoyang was expelled from the Taihao Sect and brought a lot of cultivation resources with him. Such a lot of resources are enough to improve a person's cultivation level.

Pushed to the Nascent Soul realm, Ning Shaoyang has just entered the Golden Core realm.

He also said that Ning Shaoyang’s master, Zhuge Mingzhu, was not very high in cultivation and was only at the Nascent Soul realm. He also said that he was banned from the sect for a hundred years because of his crimes.

, they will take this huge wealth.

The Gu family would not do anything like instigating people to kill people, which is something that gives people the truth.

They did not spread the news that Gu Zhenshan, the ancestor of their clan, was killed by the leader. Many people in the world of secular cultivation thought that Gu Zhenshan was still alive.

Of course, they would not tell Huo Qi about their hatred towards Zhuge Mingzhu. This would make Huo Qi suspicious and feel that they were killing someone with a borrowed knife.

They only focused on mentioning to Huo Qi the huge wealth owned by Ning Shaoyang, and also mentioned that Zhuge Mingzhu had now lost his freedom, implying that even if Huo Qi killed Ning Shaoyang, there would be no problems within a hundred years.

When Huo Qi heard this situation, he was moved.

The Gu family was afraid of hurting their clan members. He, Huo Qi, was a casual cultivator who didn't even bother to establish a family. He was a free man and had nothing to worry about.

Once you have won that fortune, you can enjoy it with peace of mind as long as you stay far away from Tahoe Gate's sphere of influence.

Although in his current situation, the possibility of entering the Nascent Soul realm is very small, but who knows if there will be changes after having a large amount of resources?

Even if you are not able to enter the Nascent Soul realm and enter the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, you can still live for decades longer and make your abilities more powerful, which is also a good thing.

If the other party is a very powerful monk, then forget it, but he is just a person who has just entered the realm of golden elixir for a few years. He doesn't think that he can't deal with him in the late stage of golden elixir.

——The disciples of the sect are more powerful than the casual cultivators of the same realm, he admits this.

But he didn't think that a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core could be stronger than him, a monk in the late stage of the Golden Core.

The huge gap in this realm cannot even be bridged by magic weapons.
