Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 158 Shocking News
Ningfa looked at him strangely: "Why can't I kill you?"

Qian Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the murderous intent in Ning Fa's eyes, he hurriedly said, "You know, the Ning family and our Qian family are secret allies! So you can't kill me!"

Ning Fa frowned slightly. Qian Shouzhong would say anything just to save his life.

Everyone in Qianbo Lake knows that the Ning family and the Qian family are sworn enemies.

A great war had taken place a few years ago, with many casualties on both sides and deeper grievances between them.

If the Ning family hadn't been concerned about the Xue family, they would have probably killed the Qian family.

Especially not long ago, the Ning family’s diplomatic situation was extremely bad, and they were betrayed by small forces.

Afterwards, the Xue family and the Qian family issued a joint statement denouncing the Ning family.

It’s hard to say that the Qian family is not involved behind this.

Now Qian Shouzhong told Ning Fa that the two families were secret allies. Isn’t this an insult to his intelligence?

Seeing Ning Fa's look, Qian Shouzhong hurriedly explained: "The discord between our two families is just a show for the Xue family to see. In fact, after the last war between our two families, we had already secretly concluded an alliance."

Ningfa frowned. Although it was hard for him to believe, he felt somehow that this might be true.

Especially when thinking about Qian Shouzhong’s strange attitude before.

He said slowly: "Then the war between our two families a few years ago... was it also a show for the Xue family to see?"

Qian Shouzhong shook his head: "That's not the case. At the beginning, our two families did fight for real, but later we found out that the several incidents that triggered the fights were actually the work of the Xue family. They made both sides mistakenly think that it was the other party who did it, so we started fighting."

"This matter was discovered by your family's great elder. He secretly met with our Qian family's great elder and produced evidence."

"In order to prevent the Xue family's conspiracy from succeeding and to fight against the Xue family in the future, our two families secretly formed an alliance. On the surface, we are in opposition, but in fact we are secretly preparing to fight against the Xue family."

The surprise in Ning Fa's eyes slowly faded away, and at this point he had already believed most of it.

He then asked, "So you and the Yuanchang Island clan secretly made a deal, and the top leaders of both sides actually knew about it?"

Qian Shouzhong replied: "That's right. Because our two families cannot interact openly, we can only exchange what we need with each other in this secret transaction. You Yuanchang Island people don't know about our cooperation and think it's really smuggling."

Ningfa was silent for a moment, lowering his head in thought.

Qian Shouzhong was worried, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.

Ning Fa suddenly raised his head. Although his expression was calm, the murderous intent in his eyes was growing stronger and stronger.

Qian Shouzhong shouted in fear: "You can't kill me! If you kill me, the alliance between the two families will inevitably break down! You have to put the overall situation first! I am willing to pay a huge price to make up for it!"

Ning Fa said coldly: "I hate it most when people tell me to put the overall situation first!"

After saying this, the silver lightning in his hand flashed and covered his head eerily.

"what--"

After a shrill howl, Qian Shouzhong had turned into a burnt body and was deader than dead.

Ningfa cast another fireball, which burned his body to ashes, destroying all traces and leaving only the storage bag.

Qian Shouzhong, who had been famous in Qianbo Lake for many years, died at the hands of Ning Fa.

Ning Fa felt a sense of relief.

After avenging his predecessor, he felt a heavy burden lifted from his heart.

He took Qian Shouzhong's storage bag and came to Ning Jiantao.

Ning Jiantao was looking at him with a look of horror, his eyes filled with extreme fear.

He still couldn't believe that Qian Shouzhong, who was famous in Qianbo Lake, actually died at the hands of Ning Fa.

Then, given the grudge between Yuanchang Island and Ningfa, is there any way for me to survive?
Ningfa looked at him with a slight smile on her face.

He said, "I heard that your Yuanchang Island lineage seems to have dug up something incredible on Linglu Island. Is this true?" As soon as these words came out, Ning Jiantao's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Ning Fa actually revealed the biggest secret of their lineage in just one sentence!

He insisted, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I advise you to release me as soon as possible. You just heard that many of the things in this transaction are also needed by the family. You have no right to arrest me!"

Ning Fa sneered and said, "You won't cry until you see the coffin!"

After saying that, a silver lightning flashed from his right hand, covering Ning Jiantao's head.

Although Ning Fa deliberately lowered the power, Ning Jiantao was still electrocuted and convulsed all over and foamed at the mouth.

Although only a few dozen breaths had passed, in Ning Jiantao's eyes, it felt like several years had passed.

When Ning Fa took his hand away, Ning Jiantao was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been soaked in water, and his eyes were dull on his pale and bloodless face.

"Say or not?"

Ninfa asked grimly.

Seeing that Ning Fa was about to put his hand over him again, Ning Jiantao was startled and shouted wildly: "Don't do it! I said!"

Then, Ning Jiantao was afraid that he would be hit again if he spoke too slowly, so he spilled out everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

Ning Fa smiled inwardly. This man looked tough, but he was actually a coward.

After listening, Ningfa looked thoughtful.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qinghui's guess turned out to be true. The Yuanchang Island lineage really dug up the ruins of a cave on Linglu Island.

Moreover, according to Ning Jiannan and others' inference, this cave was most likely left by a Jindan cultivator, or at least a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage.

Therefore, the Yuanchang Island lineage attached great importance to it and mobilized a large amount of resources to excavate the cave here.

However, that cave is guarded by a very powerful second-level restriction.

In order to break this ban, we must not make too much noise and arouse the family's suspicion.

Ning Jiannan and his team came up with a plan, using one formation to break another, and continuously setting up formations of lower grades to weaken the power of the restriction.

Although it takes a long time, it is indeed effective.

Currently, the power of the restriction has been worn away by more than half. It is estimated that it will take only a year or so to completely break the restriction.

Ning Fa's thoughts were turning.

His first thought was to tell his family, but he immediately gave up the idea.

If the family is involved, the Yuanchang Island lineage will certainly be severely punished, but it will definitely not be fatal.

And most of the gains will belong to the family.

Ning Fa thought of another way, which was to allow the Yuanchang Island lineage to act.

He showed up at the last minute.

Not only can he successfully pick the peaches, but it is also possible to secretly get rid of Ning Ruiming and Ning Jiannan.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, all of this needs to be considered in the long term and depends on the specific circumstances at the time, so as not to arouse suspicion from the family.

This requires an insider to help him so that he can grasp the latest progress of Ning Jiannan and his team's cave excavation.

Ning Fa looked at Ning Jiantao with bright eyes.

This person happens to be a perfect candidate.

Ning Jiantao had a worried look on his face. Seeing Ning Fa's strange expression, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He hurriedly shouted, "I have told you the truth. You can't kill me! Killing your own people is a serious crime. The family will not let you go!"
