Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 444 Pressure
Ning Fa said: "Thank you for your concern, Master, but you don't have to rush to find a place for our Ning family to live. It would be good enough if we can stay in Dongze Oasis for a while longer."

Cheng Ziyi smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, I will tell the Duanmu family. The Duanmu family will give our Cheng family some face for such a small matter."

Then she sighed.

"Xiao Fa, you came at the right time. With the addition of a great general like you, I think our Cheng family's development progress will be greatly accelerated."

What Cheng Ziyi said was not an exaggeration.

In her opinion, Ning Fa's strength is already half a level higher than the average master in the False Dan realm, and he can even barely compete with ordinary Golden Dan cultivators.

In her mind, Ning Fa was already comparable to the famous Feng Jue under Duanmu Ling.

Moreover, Ning Fa is only in the middle stage of foundation building. When he advances to the late stage of foundation building or even to the stage of forming a golden elixir, it will not be an exaggeration to say that Ning Fa alone can reverse the current decline of the Cheng family.

In particular, Cheng Ziyi knew very well that Ning Fa was not an ordinary cultivator. He had practiced the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra and had cultivated eighteen small thunder sources. He had extraordinary potential in the future.

Now she deeply felt that it was worthwhile for Cheng Susu to consume her spiritual essence in exchange for Ning Fa's joining.

Then Cheng Ziyi and Ning Fa gave a detailed introduction to the Cheng family’s current development route and progress, as well as future plans.

She obviously regarded Ning Fa as a leading figure of other families like Duanmu Ling and Ji Qingqing, and wanted him to lead the Cheng family team.

Ning Fa listened carefully and sighed in his heart.

It's really unpredictable. Before this, he thought he would become a disciple of Elder Wan, but he didn't expect that now he would have to devote himself to the Cheng family.

……

Half a day later, Ning Fa and the other two returned to Tianxiang Tower in Heize Fairy City.

Cheng Ziyi asked Ning Fa to look after Cheng Susu, and she left in a hurry.

Soon she arrived at a quiet residence in Qingyufang.

This is the residence of the current Cheng family elder, Tianning Zhenren Cheng Zeyuan.

Cheng Zeyuan was seriously injured in the battle of Longjingang and has been in seclusion to recover from his injuries.

Cheng Ziyi was waiting anxiously outside a quiet room deep inside her residence.

Not long after, a light flashed from the door of the quiet room, and a tall old man walked out.

He was wearing a crimson robe and had a head full of white hair, but he did not look old. He had a full forehead, a hooked nose, and a sharp and powerful aura.

But it was obvious that his face was a sickly red, his eyes were dim, and even his spiritual aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It was obvious that he had not recovered from his serious injuries.

"Brother, how is your injury?" Cheng Ziyi asked worriedly when she saw this.

Cheng Zeyuan waved his hand. He looked at Cheng Ziyi and asked in a deep voice, "You sent me a message a long time ago, saying that you had something important to discuss with me. Could it be that those companies are going to do something else?"

Cheng Ziyi shook her head.

She took a deep breath and said, "I plan to accept Ning Fa as my personal disciple, and - I plan to marry Su Su to him, so that the two of us can become Taoist couples."

After hearing the first sentence, Cheng Zeyuan's expression was still calm, but the second sentence made his expression change drastically.

He raised his eyebrows, annoyed and puzzled, "Are you confused? Don't you know how important Su Su is to our Cheng family?"

Cheng Ziyi's expression remained unchanged, and she told him about how she discovered Ning Fa had cultivated eighteen small thunder sources, and that he had fought a fierce battle with a Jindan cultivator at the middle stage of foundation building, and even severely injured the cultivator.

After hearing this, even Cheng Zeyuan was shocked and speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief:

“Okay, I understand why you did it.

With the potential he has shown, even if it means consuming Su Su's Linglong Immortal Heart Essence, it will be worth it as long as he can become a member of our Cheng family.

Your decision is correct, I have no objection."

Cheng Ziyi smiled happily, not too surprised, as she had already guessed this would happen.

I am afraid that if the other families knew that Ning Fa is now able to fight against Jindan cultivators, they would also be attracted to Ning Fa.

You know, even the seven heroes of the sect can only achieve this level, and Ning Fa is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Brother, I feel that with Ningfa's strength, it is very likely that he can open the thing left by Uncle Seventh right now." Cheng Ziyi said with a flash in his eyes.

Cheng Zeyuan's expression changed and he nodded: "This is very possible, but you should wait until he truly worships you as his master and becomes a Taoist partner with Su Su before you tell him about this."

After that, he paused for a moment and said, "Now that we have the Xia family's evidence, we must make good use of it.

Come on, come with me to see Brother Taihua.

Faced with such evidence, I wonder how he can still favor the Xia family."

Cheng Ziyi couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Not long after, thirty miles away, in a living room of another magnificent mansion covering an area of about dozens of acres.

I saw Cheng Zeyuan and Cheng Ziyi sitting quietly at a tea table, sipping tea leisurely.

On the open ground nearby, there was a torn body lying with a black and red diamond-shaped token on it. Another middle-aged monk was walking slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back.

I saw that this person was wearing a white gown, was about fifty years old, had a head full of white hair, skin as white as a baby's, a clear face, and eyes full of light.

There was no spiritual energy on him at all, and he looked like an ordinary human being.

But every move he made exuded a smooth and flawless aura, as well as the dignity of having been in a high position for a long time.

And this person is none other than Ouyang Zhenhua, one of the giants of Huayu Sect and the current head of the Ouyang family, whose Taoist name is Taihua Zhenren.

He looked serious, with his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had some difficulty.

Cheng Zeyuan put down the teacup and said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can call Junior Brother Ning over. With your divine eye, you should be able to tell the truth at a glance."

Ouyang Zhenhua stopped and stared at the token on Xia Guang's body. He sighed and said, "That's not necessary. I recognize this token. It should be real."

After saying that, he turned to look at Cheng Zeyuan and Cheng Ziyi, and said calmly: "Whether it is for the sake of our being in the same family faction or the same sect, please do not publicize this matter.

Of course, the Xia family needs to pay some price.

Tianning, Ziyi, you can tell me what you think. "

Ouyang Zhenhua spoke more tactfully, obviously asking the two men what price the Xia family would have to pay before they would let this matter go.

Cheng Zeyuan smiled lightly and said calmly: "First, the Xia family must not retaliate against nephew Ning, including the family that nephew Ning belongs to.

To be honest with you, Brother Dao, in the near future, Junior Brother Ning will take Zi Yi as his master, and will become a Taoist partner with Su Su. "

Ouyang Zhenhua was slightly surprised, then looked at the two of them meaningfully and nodded:
“That’s as it should be.

I have also heard of this Junior Brother Ning's name. He is a great talent in the sect and has the potential to become one of the Seven Heroes of the sect. I will emphasize this point."

Cheng Zeyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Secondly, the Xia family needs to give up the Jingjiang Ancient City."

Ouyang Zhenhua showed an expression of "as expected", and at the same time he was satisfied that the Cheng family did not ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think there is no problem. This matter is settled."

This is the authority of the first person in the family faction. He made the final decision directly without asking for the Xia family's opinion.

After coming out of Ouyang Zhenhua's mansion, Cheng Zeyuan and Cheng Ziyi both had smiles on their faces.

Cheng Zeyuan said, "Let's go, let's go to Duanmu's house again. Senior Brother Xuanqi may not be here, but it should be the same to see Duanmu Hong."

Not long after, in a main hall of the Xia family mansion, there were only Ouyang Zhenhua and Xia family head Xia Yuanhe.

After Ouyang Zhenhua finished speaking, he sipped his tea with a calm expression.

Xia Yuanhe said with a little shame: "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother.

In fact, after joining the sect, our Xia family has also been gradually abolishing the Anbu, but it has not been completely completed yet.

After this, we will definitely speed up the progress.

We in the Xia family have no objection to Brother Dao’s decision.”

Ouyang Zhenhua smiled calmly, then put down his teacup, stood up and said, "That's good. I'll leave first."

After Ouyang Zhenhua left, Xia Yuanhe suddenly became expressionless.

Then he walked into another side hall, where several other members of the Xia family were anxiously waiting, including Xia Qinhu, Xia Mingyang, Xia Xinlan, and several elders of the Xia family.

"Brother, what did Brother Taihua say?" Seeing Xia Yuanhe walk in with a bad look on his face, Xia Qinhu asked anxiously.

Xia Yuanhe did not answer, but stared at Xia Mingyang who looked uneasy, and then shook his hand violently.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the right side of Xia Mingyang's face was swollen with a clear five-finger mark.

Xia Mingyang immediately covered his right cheek and looked at him with a wronged expression, while Xia Xinlan beside him kept her expression unchanged and sipped her tea leisurely.

Xia Qinhu, who was standing by, was stunned, but still defended him:

“Brother, don’t blame Mingyang.

It was also me who gave the order for Xia Guang to do the action, but I didn't expect that the guy would figure out that it was Xia Guang who did it so quickly.

Moreover, his strength is so strong that even Xia Guang is no match for him, and he was even able to escape from Brother Jing's hands."

After Xia Qinhu finished speaking, Xia Mingyang's eyes couldn't help but flash with anger.

Xia Yuanhe said expressionlessly: "Not only did Xia Guang die, but the fact that he was a member of our Xia family's secret department was also leaked.

We were caught by the Cheng family and they even used this to threaten us, which is why Brother Taihua came to us.

It doesn’t matter if the secrets of the Dark Department are leaked out, the key is Xia Guang.

Since our Xia family obtained the Blood Luo Sutra more than 600 years ago, it has only been so long since we discovered that Xia Guang is a member of our family who is suitable for practicing this technique."
