I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Cicadas chirp and insects chirp.

March has gone by in a blink of an eye.

In the past three months, Chu Ning stayed in the mansion to practice with peace of mind. Liang Jiulin was very satisfied with the reports from his subordinates.

The only time I went out was to a certain courtyard where a lady who had just lost her husband lived.

A beautiful widow.

A concubine taken by a school captain during his lifetime.

Liang Jiulin smiled slightly after hearing this. At a young age, it is normal to have needs.

As long as Ji Yang can practice martial arts with peace of mind, let alone a widow, even if he is not a widow, he can make him a widow, just a school captain, nothing.

Ji Mansion.

Inner house.

Chu Ning sat cross-legged and breathed out a stream of white mist, cutting off the row of candles in front of her like a sword.

The next moment, countless zhenqi shot out from Chu Ning's body, shooting into the entire room like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

But when the energy was about to touch the object, Chu Ning's eyes opened, and all the energy dissipated instantly.

"Now I can fight countless Tang Ruowei."

Chu Ning stood up. His progress in the past three months was rapid, even faster than when he was in the martial arts realm.

In the martial arts realm, it would still take him a year or two to go from the ninth level to the eighth level with the longevity fruit, but when he entered the master's realm, after the energy of the longevity fruit was converted into spiritual energy, his strength actually improved by leaps and bounds.

Is this the difference between cultivating immortality and practicing martial arts?

"Old Hei, tell me the reason."

Chu Ning looked at Black Snake. After three months, he and Lao Hei had equally divided the precious medicinal materials taken from the royal arsenal.

Originally, Chu Ning had no intention of giving it to Lao Hei. It was already good that he didn't throw this guy into a crock pot and stew it with the medicinal materials.

In the end, Lao Hei gave Chu Ning a prescription. This prescription was prepared for immortal cultivators. There was no need to refine it into elixirs, just boil the medicinal materials according to the proportion.

Refining it into an elixir would be more effective, but Lao Hei didn't know how to make elixirs, and the prescription was obtained by chance in his previous life.

After verifying that the prescription was indeed effective, Chu Ning agreed to share the medicinal materials equally and further reached a strategic alliance.

Without understanding the whole world, the two of them would never betray or stab each other in the back. They would both survive until they were invincible.

It was precisely because of the longevity fruit and this prescription that Chu Ning made such rapid progress.

In Lao Hei's words, now he still has a winning rate of 40 or 6 against that cheap master, but it has become his 6 vs. 4.

"The greatest advantage of longevity fruit comes out."

The further he goes, the more Chu Ning discovers the great effect of the longevity fruit.

In the realm of martial arts masters and generals, the effect of longevity fruit is not particularly obvious, because other people's strength will also increase. The only advantage is that the growth is relatively stable, and there is no need to spend too much money to buy elixirs.

But compared with the disciples trained by the eight major surnames, the royal family, and the four major sects, this advantage is almost nonexistent.

The disciples trained by these big forces relied on their abundant resources to offset their own advantages of the longevity fruit.

But it's different when you reach the master level. In this world where spiritual energy is exhausted, the strength of other strong masters has almost stopped. The few who can reach the second or first level have to endure it hard.

Let's work together and see if there is any new news from Tu Feifei.

Chu Ning went to Tu Feifei's place every half month. As for Tu Feifei's apparent lover, Zhang Fengqi, he died two months ago.

It is said that he was attacked by Routu people on the border, his head was separated, and he died miserably.

After entering the courtyard, Chu Ning was a little surprised when she saw what Tu Feifei was wearing. In the past, when this woman knew she was coming, she would always wear different clothes. Sometimes they were obviously shoulder straps but were tied around her waist. It becomes a waist girdle.

But today Tu Feifei was dressed in plain clothes and her whole body was covered up very tightly.

"Mr. Ji, the general is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Liang Dynasty. He has assembled an army of 300,000."

As soon as Tu Feifei opened her mouth, she gave Chu Ning a piece of bombshell news.

Routu and the Liang Dynasty fought for hundreds of years, but the largest battle only involved an army of 100,000 troops.

This time, they actually prepared 300,000 yuan. Is this to capture the Liang Dynasty in one fell swoop?

What gave General Routu so much confidence.

During his time in the capital, Chu Ning was not just cultivating. Since he knew that there were still some secrets in this world, he also gained a deeper understanding of this world.

The population of Routu Kingdom is only one-fifth of that of the Liang Dynasty. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it is definitely not as good as the Liang Dynasty.

It's just that because Liang Chaoming was ruled by the royal family, it was actually divided into eight major families and four major sects. The royal family actually controlled only four states.

It's okay for the Routu Kingdom to harass Qiufeng on the border of Yanzhou, but if they really want to launch a massive attack, the Ten sects and the Eight Great Families will not just sit idly by.

With the strength of the Routu Kingdom, how could they have the confidence to start a war with all the forces in the Liang Dynasty?

"So, is it that some of the four major sects or the eight major sects have formed an alliance with you?"

Chu Ning only thought of this possibility. Routu State had internal support, otherwise it would be impossible to break through and launch a large-scale attack.

If this fails, the Routu Kingdom may be severely damaged and may not be able to recover for a hundred years.

"I don't know about this slave family. As a slave family, it is impossible for the general to tell him the inside story."

Tu Feifei shook her head. She was also wondering why the general would do this.

The reason why she confided the news to Ji Yang was not that she was really conquered, but that in her opinion, since Ji Yang was a master, he might know some inside stories that she didn't know.

But now it seems that her guess was wrong, and Ji Yang knew even less than she did.

As for whether Ji Yang will inform the royal family of the news, she is not worried. There will be irreconcilable conflicts between those who practice blood-burning skills and the royal family.

This sentence was what the general told himself with great certainty, and it was absolutely unmistakable.

To a certain extent, Ji Yang wanted to side with them, Routu.

"When exactly will your Routu country attack?"

"The general didn't say it, but it won't be later than this month at the latest." Tu Feifei came to this conclusion because the general had ordered her to activate all the secrets lurking in the Liang Dynasty.

"Any other news?"

Although Chu Ning was shocked by the news, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was now a powerful master and could afford to hide even if he couldn't offend an army of 100,000 people.

"There is another news related to the Huang family."

"What news?" Chu Ning asked.

Compared to the war between the two countries, he was more concerned about the Huang family's affairs.

"The head of the Huang family died suddenly the day before yesterday. Now the new head of the house is the heir to the original head, Huang Zhongtai. There are rumors from the outside that the new head of the house, Huang Zhongtai, is already at the level of a fourth-grade military general."

"Fourth-grade general?"

"Yes, but many people don't believe this news. Even if Huang Zhongtai practices the Tiancan technique, it is impossible for him to break through so fast, otherwise everyone will practice the Tiancan technique."

Tu Feifei smiled slightly. The power of the Tiancan technique is that it can quickly break through to the next state based on the original state. It will be difficult to break through again.

Such as Burning Blood Technique allows those warriors to break through to martial arts masters, but few can break through from martial arts masters to military commanders.

"The slave family speculates that the head of the Huang family may have died suddenly. There is some chaos within the Huang family. They released this news to stabilize the hearts of the clan members."

Chu Ning did not speak, but he denied Tu Feifei's guess in his heart. He knew Huang Zhongtai, and if he had not broken through to a fourth-level military general, he would never have spread such news to the outside world.

Even if there is a breakthrough, it may be kept secret.

Tu Feifei saw that Chu Ning seemed to care about the Huang family, so she pondered for a moment and said: "Young master, according to the rules of the Huang family, when the new head of the family takes office, a grand ceremony will be held. At that time, many forces will be invited to do the objective ceremony. If the master is interested, the Nu family will I can get a spot for you."

"No."

Chu Ning refused directly.

No matter what Huang Zhongtai wants to do, he has not yet reached the first level of Grandmaster and does not want to expose himself.

"The Wushuang Sect has recently sent out many strong men, and it is said that a master elder has come out to find the mysterious man who assassinated the disciples of the Wushuang Sect some time ago."

When Tu Feifei said this, her eyes were also looking at Chu Ning. In her heart, Ji Yang perfectly met the conditions of the mysterious man.

First of all, the strength is sufficient. The disciples who died in the Wushuang Sect were all military generals and martial arts masters. With Ji Yang's strength, he could kill them without anyone noticing.

Moreover, Ji Yang also asked himself to pay attention to the Wushuang Sect, so he probably had a grudge against the Wushuang Sect.

Vengeful, powerful, and mysterious, it's a perfect fit.

"Oh, which elder came out of the mountain?"

"Third Elder Ji Bo, Chief Ji's son was killed in Daning County more than a year ago. The murderer was Chu Ning. Chief Ji sent disciples from the Wushuang Sect to arrest Chu Ning, but no one has been arrested so far."

In fact, Tu Feifei had another reason why she was even more certain that the mysterious person was Ji Yang.

Ji Yang is from Daning County, and Chu Ning is also from Daning County. Is there some connection between the two?

Sensing the probing look in Tu Feifei's eyes, Chu Ning smiled meaningfully. This woman was very smart, and it was normal for her to guess something.

As long as his true energy is still in her body, he is not afraid of her doing anything wrong.

"Continue to inquire about Wushuangmen and the Huang family, and report any news to me as soon as possible."

Chu Ning did not stay for another hour this time. He could see that Tu Feifei was indeed very busy, although Tu Feifei would definitely be able to spare the time as long as he was willing.

However, what Chu Ning didn't expect was that he didn't plan to go to Huang's house, but the next day, his cheap master came to him.

I want to take him to Qingzhou to attend the ceremony of the head of the Huang family.

Every time a new head of the Eight Families takes office, the royal family will send a prince to observe the ceremony.

As for why Liang Jiulin brought him along, Chu Ning still couldn't guess, so he could only adapt to circumstances.

The worst case scenario is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor.

Prepared to run away from the capital, Chu Ning also met Zhao Qin once before leaving and gave the guy more than a dozen bottles of pills.

He brought these from the royal arsenal. He cannot use them now, but Zhao Qin happens to be useful.
