Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1014 Not giving in
However, since this woman spoke first, she might leave these Qin cultivators with a preconceived impression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wuji, the deputy palace master of the Wushi Demon Palace, immediately unleashed demonic energy, which surged behind him like countless black tentacles.

His eyes turned pure black, and demonic patterns appeared on his forehead, giving him an aura of overwhelming demonic power.

"Ning Fa! Is what Elder Lin said true?" Lin Wuji asked in an icy voice, his chilling killing intent enveloping Ning Fa.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivator, Venerable Lingjun, couldn't help but frown at this.

His gaze towards Ning Fa suddenly turned stern, and he asked in a cold voice, "Young friend Ning, did you really do these things?"

Lu Caifu, who was standing next to her, felt a sudden tightness in her chest and thought to herself that something was wrong.

Their Supreme Elder of the Merchant Alliance was a Confucian who embraced Taoism, so he not only had a strong sense of clan identity, but also despised such infighting.

If Ningfa really did these things, then he will definitely have a very difficult time getting away with it today.

Then the original plan could not be carried out.

After Venerable Lingjun, a Nascent Soul cultivator, spoke, the woman in the golden mask and Lin Wuji, who were originally eager to make a move and even wanted to attack immediately, had to restrain their auras, but still stared at Ning Fa with murderous intent.

At this moment, Ning Fa remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Senior Lingjun, Huangfu Hong, Shen Xinlan and Pei Nanshu were indeed killed by me, but I had no choice but to take action."

These three people actually colluded with Tianli cultivators to try to kill me while I was infiltrating behind Tianli to carry out a mission.

I saw through their plot, which is why I killed all three of them.

As for Fellow Daoist Ji Lianxing, she was not forcibly taken by me.

Because she was Shen Xinlan's disciple, and she had been acting alongside me, she was used as Shen Xinlan's spy.

However, later, Fellow Daoist Ji realized her mistake and told me what had happened, hoping I could protect her and help her escape from Mo Qianqiu. That's why she stayed by my side.

After Ning Fa finished speaking, Layman Xu Yuan immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said:
“Senior Lingjun, we can also testify that things are indeed as Fellow Daoist Ning said. He had no choice but to kill those three fellow Daoists.”

Moreover, although Fellow Daoist Ning had been cultivating in the rear for several years, it was because he sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Later, he successfully broke through and returned, turning the tide and killing several powerful enemy cultivators, which allowed Cangyuan to hold out until the arrival of our seniors and fellow Daoists.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lingjun's expression softened.

At this moment, Lin Xiu'e said angrily, "Nonsense!"

It's clear that Ning Fa has a personal grudge against Master and the others, so he coerced and threatened Junior Sister Ji Lianxing into making up this excuse to shut us up.

Previously, Fellow Daoist Xuyuan had intentionally favored Ning Fa, so we dared not speak out against it.

Now that Lord Lin has arrived, please take charge for us.

"Junior Sister Ji, you don't need to be afraid of Ning Fa anymore. Tell us all about his evil deeds!"

At this moment, Mo Qianqiu solemnly said to Ji Lianxing, "Junior Sister Ji, now that you are in front of Senior Lingjun and Palace Master Lin, you don't need to be afraid anymore, and you don't need to worry about the restrictions Ning Fa placed on you. Just tell the truth, and we will definitely give you justice."

A cold glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes.

Mo Qianqiu is truly a venomous snake that has been patiently waiting. He hadn't made a move until now, when our sect sent people, he launched his attack.

He couldn't help but look at Ji Lianxing, wanting to see how this woman would choose.

As a person directly involved, Ji Lianxing's testimony is crucial.

Everyone else looked at the woman, who had a struggling expression on her face.

Not long after, she took a deep breath and bowed to Venerable Lingjun: "Senior Lingjun, what Fellow Daoist Ning said is not a lie."

It was indeed Shen Xinlan who coerced me before, wanting to take advantage of Fellow Daoist Ning's trip to the enemy's territory to contact enemy cultivators and assassinate Fellow Daoist Ning.

"I followed Fellow Daoist Ning voluntarily, because Mo Qianqiu had ulterior motives towards me. He coveted my Heavenly Demon Body and wanted to refine me into a Yin Pill, which is why I sought Fellow Daoist Ning's protection."

Upon hearing this, the previously tense Xu Yuan Jushi and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning was slightly surprised. Clearly, Mo Qianqiu had a certain degree of confidence in telling Ji Lianxing this, but he didn't expect Ji Lianxing to still choose him.

Ji Lianxing continued, "If you don't believe what I'm saying, you're welcome to search my soul."

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile. This woman was very intelligent and had a very long-term vision.

Ning Fa had a pretty good idea of ​​why she made that choice.

Firstly, it certainly wasn't because of the soul restriction he had placed on the woman, because he certainly wouldn't dare to activate it in front of Venerable Lingjun, and might even be forced to withdraw the restriction.

It's probably because of Ji Lianxing's Heavenly Demon Body that she's so worried about returning to the Wushi Demon Palace.

Even if it were someone from her own sect, she wouldn't dare take the risk, because the next person to try and turn her into a Yin Pill might be someone from her own sect.

However, the most fundamental reason for her decision was that she had high hopes for Ningfa, which was undeniably a very bold move.

Ningfa also decided to give her a generous reward.

Ji Lianxing's words were clearly unexpected by Mo Qianqiu, but his expression only turned slightly gloomy and did not change much.

Lin Wuji frowned, the murderous intent in his eyes not diminishing.

Venerable Lingjun said calmly, "There's no need for such a troublesome soul search. I can naturally distinguish whether what you say is true or false."

In this light, those three, who colluded with the enemy to assassinate our own pillars, truly deserved to die. Having said that, he then said to Layman Xuyuan, "Young friend Xuyuan, please come with me. I happen to have some matters I wish to inquire about with your Ling Shu Pavilion."

Lingjun Venerable had a flash of inspiration and flew towards the city.

Seeing this, Ning Fa thought to himself that Mo Qianqiu was too naive. So what if Ji Lianxing really told a lie as he wished?

Trying to deceive a Nascent Soul cultivator with lies is wishful thinking.

However, Ning Fa quickly frowned. With Mo Qianqiu's cunning and shrewdness, it was impossible that he hadn't thought of this.

He glanced again at the woman in the gold-patterned mask whose murderous intent had not subsided, and at Lin Wuji, and suddenly realized something.

Clearly, for these demonic cultivators, the reasons or not were completely unimportant; what mattered was that Ning Fa had indeed killed their people.

Moreover, this matter was exposed in public. Given the prestige of the two great Nascent Soul sects, the Wushi Demon Palace and the Yuancha Sect, they obviously could not easily let this matter pass.

This may be Mo Qianqiu's true purpose.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt a surge of murderous intent.

"I don't care what your reasons are, I only ask you, did you kill Huangfu Hong?" The woman in the gold-patterned mask stared intently at Ning Fa, her killing intent palpable.

"I have the same question: Did you kill Shen Xinlan?" Lin Wuji asked, his demonic aura surging.

Although both of them had witnessed Ning Fa's strength just now, it was still far from enough to frighten them.

At the same time, behind the two, there were also some Nascent Soul cultivators whose auras surged, seemingly also intending to make a move.

Ning Fa remained unmoved and sneered, "Are you all deaf? Didn't I make myself clear enough? If you want revenge for them, then come at me all at once. I, Ning Fa, will take you on."

The other cultivators couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, not expecting Ning Fa to remain so defiant in the face of the coercion of two top experts.

Just then, a long laugh rang out.

A flash of sword light appeared, and a figure appeared nearby.

This man was dressed in a cloud-patterned sword robe, with a handsome and upright figure. Although his face was extremely handsome, he was unshaven, unkempt, and reeked of alcohol.

He tilted his head back and took a big gulp from the gourd of wine in his hand. His eyes, blurry with drunkenness, swept over everyone before he looked at Ning Fa and laughed, "I, Ye Zangfeng, just like Fellow Daoist Ning's personality."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Wuji and the woman with the golden mask, his face filled with disdain:

"You demonic cultivators just love to bully others by relying on your power."

I, Ye Zangfeng, am saying this now: if you were to fight this Fellow Daoist Ning one-on-one, I wouldn't say anything.

But if you try to gang up on us, don't blame me, Ye Zangfeng, for intervening.

As this person spoke, his aura suddenly erupted, containing an extremely sharp sword intent.

Suddenly, a metallic clang rang out from the surroundings, and the longswords and magical artifacts in the hands of many cultivators trembled uncontrollably, causing everyone to be horrified.

Clearly, this is a sword cultivator, and his swordsmanship has reached an unbelievable level.

Ning Fa also looked at him with a glint in his eyes; this person's swordsmanship had definitely reached the third level.

Combined with his cultivation level, which has almost reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his strength is definitely among the top in the Qin Dynasty among all the Nascent Soul experts. He probably has the strength of a top-tier cultivator.

Upon seeing Ye Zangfeng step forward, Lin Wuji and the woman in the gold-patterned mask immediately changed their expressions, their eyes flashing with anger and also with apprehension.

Just then, a flash of light appeared, and another person flew out.

This is a handsome young man with a moon-white gemstone inlaid on his forehead, which makes him even more handsome and gives him a mysterious feel.

Although his aura was not as sharp and overt as Ye Zangfeng's, it was like a flowing stream in the mountains, which would inexplicably calm people down and dispel any hostility.

"Count me in too, Shen Cizhou. If you try to gang up on me, I will take action."

The cultivators of the Great Qin were shocked, but they couldn't help but look on with anticipation, because the two who had stepped forward were no ordinary people.

Ye Zangfeng is the Sword-Holding Elder of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, the number one sword cultivator sect in the Great Qin Dynasty. He holds an extremely high position, and his strength is equally formidable. Even in the Great Qin Dynasty, he is one of the top experts.

Shen Cizhou is also a core disciple of another powerful sect in the Great Qin Dynasty—the Radiant Moon Palace.

He was also a renowned genius in the Great Qin Dynasty, possessing strength almost comparable to a Grand Master when he was in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Now, at just over two hundred years old, he has already advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It only took him a little over twenty years to advance from the mid-stage to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his strength is equally unfathomable.

Both Lingxiao Sword Pavilion and Huiyue Palace are Nascent Soul sects, and both have Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there, making them no less powerful than Wushi Demon Palace and Yuancha Sect.

While the cultivators of the Great Qin were enjoying the spectacle, they also felt somewhat puzzled.

Ye Zangfeng's appearance was not unexpected, as he has always hated evil and deeply resented demonic sects, since his family was destroyed by demonic cultivators when he was young.

To their surprise, Shen Cizhou also stepped forward. This man was always gentle and refined, and such a forceful move shattered their impression of him.

The appearance of these two powerful figures immediately caused Lin Wuji and the woman in the golden mask to change their expressions again, their eyes burning with even greater rage.

Just then, Lu Caifu blinked and suddenly smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Chongli, I forgot to tell you something. The young friend that Senior Tianyi mentioned before is none other than Fellow Daoist Ningfa."
