Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 207 Traitor
One month later.

A shocking piece of news spread throughout Qianbo Lake.

The Xue family's important island [Golden Flower Island] was massacred by robbers.

Dozens of Xue family cultivators and thousands of mortal bloodlines on the island were slaughtered.

The reason later spread.

It turns out that this island is home to a precious spiritual creature, the Spirit Eye Tree.

The so-called spiritual eye is the eye of the spiritual vein, which is the place where the spiritual energy is the most concentrated and densely packed in the spiritual vein.

In such places, the spiritual eye may materialize and generate spiritual objects such as the spiritual eye spring, the spiritual eye stone, the spiritual eye jade, and the spiritual eye tree.

In addition to providing extremely pure spiritual energy, this kind of spiritual eye object generally has incredible abilities.

It is said that the Xue family set up a large formation and used all the spiritual veins on Jinhua Island to cultivate the Spirit Eye Tree.

This tree has just grown to the second stage and is extremely valuable.

However, the news somehow leaked out and was discovered by the robbers, who kidnapped him directly.

The Xue family was furious.

The Xue family had not suffered such a great loss for a long time, and the top leaders of the Xue family vowed to make the Iron Armor Alliance pay for their blood debt with blood.

The madness and recklessness of the Iron Armor Alliance also shocked many forces in Qianbo Lake.

Unexpectedly, after provoking the Ning family first, the Iron Armor Alliance dared to provoke the Xue family again.

The Xue family immediately sent an envoy to the Ning family to discuss joining forces to eradicate the Iron Armor Alliance.

The Ning family agreed immediately.

In fact, the Ning family had previously approached the Xue family and proposed to join forces to deal with the Iron Armor Alliance.

But at that time, the Xue family hoped that the Ning family and the Iron Armor Alliance would fight to the death. Although they expressed their support verbally, they actually took no action at all.

After suffering such a great loss this time, he finally gave in.

In addition, the Xue family also contacted the Qian family.

So the three major families secretly formed an alliance to deal with the Iron Armor Alliance together.

The Ning family began to gather their forces, announcing to the outside world that it was to prevent looting by the robbers.

Ning Fa's alchemy mission was also completed.

At this time, he had already guessed about the Ning family's plan. Besides being shocked, he also deeply admired the Great Elder Ning Zhongyuan.

He went to Changning Mountain to see the Great Elder again.

Ning Zhongyuan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ning Fa carefully.

He laughed heartily: "Xiao Fa, it seems that you are now stronger than Hua Rong was back then. This is really great and timely."

Ning Fa bowed deeply and said in admiration: "Great Elder, you are very far-sighted. I really admire you."

Ning Zhongyuan sighed: "It seems that you seem to have guessed it."

Then he looked at Ning Fa with a burning gaze and said, "In that case, Xiao Fa, you can be considered as half a foundation-building warrior. Then you should follow the second brother to join the bandit suppression. The mission over there is more difficult."

Ning Fa looked at him deeply, then took the order and left.

The Ning family began to gather troops and prepare to jointly suppress the bandits.

a few days later.

A group of several hundred monks secretly marched in one direction.

Half of these people are from the Xue family and its vassal families.

The others are the Ning family and Qian family teams.

The power is extremely strong.

The Xue family sent out three foundation-building cultivators.

Xue Zongyou, the second elder of the Xue family, is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Xue Zhishen, the third elder of the Xue family, is a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of foundation building.

Xie Feng, the guest elder of the Xue family, is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

The Ning family and the Qian family also sent out a foundation-building cultivator each.

The person leading the Ning family's team was the second elder Ning Weidong.

This mixed force consists of a total of five foundation-building monks and three to four hundred elite troops, mainly middle to late stage Qi training monks.

The strength can be said to be extremely strong.

The Xue family has already obtained intelligence and knows the location of the Ironclad Alliance's headquarters.

So they headed directly to an island called Qianren Island. …

Ningjia Jinchang Island.

On the highest peak of the island, there is a stone house.

This is the residence of Ning Weize, the fourth elder of the Ning family.

At this moment, he stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the tiny market town in the distance.

He usually had a gentle look, but at this moment, he looked very serious.

There was even a hint of uneasiness.

A special talisman paper in his hand burned with the wind.

He murmured, "The anti-bandit team has already been dispatched, why is the family still secretly mobilizing forces, and even starting to mobilize the garrison forces of some islands... Is it to prevent the Ironclad Alliance from counterattacking?"

Ning Weize looked into the distance, thinking with a gloomy expression.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his face turned pale.

He took out a special white jade talisman with trembling hands, and seemed to be hesitating whether to activate it.

But at this moment a sigh came: "Old Four, why are you doing this?"

Ning Weize was struck by lightning, and he looked to the right in disbelief.

A tall and fat figure slowly walked towards them.

It was the great elder Ning Zhongyuan.

At this moment, his usually smiling face was extremely serious, and his eyes were full of regret.

Ning Weize's face was pale and bloodless. His body swayed and he said with a miserable smile: "Brother, it seems that you know everything..."

Ning Zhongyuan sighed and said, "In fact, I suspected that there was a traitor in our family's upper echelons long before. After all, outstanding children of the family like Yu Wen were attacked one after another. It would be difficult for the Xue family to do it without accurate intelligence."

Ning Weize asked tremblingly: "Why did you guess it was me?"

Ning Zhongyuan sighed, "I didn't doubt you at first, but in the battle with the Qian family, I lost some vitality. You prepared a nourishing spiritual liquid for me, and I knew you were the traitor in the family, because there was a drop of [Qu Sangcao] juice in the spiritual liquid."

Ning Weize said in disbelief: "Impossible! The juice of the Naqu mulberry grass is colorless and tasteless. It is impossible for anyone other than a Jindan cultivator to detect it."

Ning Zhongyuan smiled faintly: "It's not that you have to be in the Jindan realm to detect it, but you need to have a soul strength that reaches or approaches the level of a Jindan cultivator to detect this kind of venom that can dissolve in the soul and even slowly erode the soul."

“And I happened to have a fortuitous encounter. Although my soul strength has not reached the level of a Jindan cultivator, it is not far off, so I was able to detect it.”

Ning Weize's face turned pale, and he smiled bitterly: "So you realized my true identity at that time, then why did you keep me in the family?"

Seeing Ning Zhongyuan's indifferent expression, Ning Weize understood. He said in a bitter voice: "So you kept me here just to confuse the Xue family..."

Ning Zhongyuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he smiled faintly: "Yes, I kept you here, and even pretended to be recovering from injuries until now, just for today!"

After saying this, Ning Zhongyuan's aura suddenly increased.

A powerful aura like a deep lake and a towering mountain suddenly burst out.

Ning Weize was shocked and said, "You are already in the late stage of foundation building!?"

He quickly crushed the round jade talisman in his hand.

Suddenly the jade talisman shattered.

But only a circle of golden ripples appeared in the air ten feet away.

An illusory jade talisman phantom was intercepted in it.

Then golden ripples appeared in the other three directions, forming a golden cage that surrounded Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Weize.

Ning Zhongyuan held a small yellow copper bell in his right hand, which was shaking from side to side, emitting golden ripples.

Ning Weize said in disbelief: "Mystical Bell!? How can there be such a spiritual weapon!? Didn't the family give up on creating this treasure a long time ago!?"

He reacted immediately and felt a chill running down his forehead.

It turned out that over the years, several other foundation-building elders in the family had been acting to confuse him.

He even used the enemy's tactics against him and used himself as a breakthrough point in order to launch a surprise attack on the Xue family today.

This forbearance and calculation made his eyes full of fear when he looked at Ning Zhongyuan again.

Ning Zhongyuan said with regret: "Weize, the family has been very kind to you, why do you want to betray the family!?"

Ning Weize laughed bitterly and said, "One wrong step leads to another. By the time I realized it, it was too late to turn back..."

Ning Zhongyuan sighed, but there was a chill in his eyes.

A flash of light suddenly appeared in the golden cage, and after dozens of breaths, it returned to calm.
