Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Liu Ningshuang thought for a moment and said, "How about the elders give us a few days to discuss this?"

The smile on Chi Yezi's face disappeared completely. He said calmly, "Master Liu wants to buy time to ask for help from Master Liu Feng of Xuelingxu?"

Liu Ningshuang and Liu Ling'er's expressions changed slightly.

"Oh... naive!"

He sneered, "Now that the war against demons is about to begin, all the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory are in danger and have no time to take care of themselves. Do you really think this is enough time for the Master Liu Feng to cross the entire Northern Territory and come?"

"Even if she really comes, what can she do? Relocate your entire Liu family? At this time?"

"Or will we take you to live in other cities around here?"

"Although Xuelingxu is also a top sect, their influence has not expanded to here, not to mention that the Aoxu master has disappeared for more than 20 years. Maybe he has already died in some corner."

"No matter how strong or weak the sects and dynasties in the south are, they all rely on the Chilian Academy to survive. If I don't speak up, which force would dare to accept you?"

Now that things have come to this, Chi Yezi also took off his disguise and showed a sneer on his face: "This is what I have to say. Even if Master Liu doesn't want to accept this marriage today!"

Liu Ningshuang was silent.

She had been dragged down by family affairs for years, and her cultivation level was only in the late ninth realm. Although Liu Linger was gifted and had the blessing of Huacheng, a sacred place of wood, she still lacked a bit of opportunity, and had only just entered the early ninth realm.

In addition to the mother and daughter, the Liu family has three ninth-level cultivators, one visible and two hidden.

But even if they played all their cards, they could only barely hold back Chi Yezi, who had reached the tenth realm of cultivation. This amount of time was not enough for the tribe members to escape. With the Mu family watching closely from the side, it became even more difficult.

Even if the Liu family really fled Huacheng, they would have nowhere to go.

Because just as Chi Yezi said, the entire southern area of ​​the Northern Territory was living under the control of the Chi Lian Academy. If they offended such a supreme elder, the Chi Lian Academy only needed to give a simple order, and no force would dare to take them in.

Even if Chi Yezi and the Mu family did not cause trouble for them, the Liu family would still be destroyed by the hands of demons.

Thinking of this, Liu Ningshuang's face darkened slightly.

Long before arriving at the lobby, she took advantage of Liu Ling'er's inattention and threw a elixir into her mouth, but did not swallow it.

This pill is called "Mad Demon Pill" and it is an extremely rare nine-turn elixir.

As long as it is refined, one can immediately possess the combat power of the Tenth Realm. Of course, although the effect is incredible, the side effects are equally serious.

After the effect of the drug wears off, the user's cultivation level will drop from the ninth level, and his blood and energy will weaken, and even his soul will suffer severe damage.

This Crazy and Poor Pill was a life-saving item that Liu Ningshuang obtained from her sister Liu Ningxiang.

She thought she would never use it, but unexpectedly the opportunity came now.

"Elder, can't you really give us a few days to think about it?"

Liu Ningshuang asked again.

Chapter 348: Stealing Life in Exchange for Death

"No."

Chi Yezi shook his head.

This time he came to the Liu family in person to ask for marriage for his disciple, which was just a pretext. The most fundamental reason was that he came for the Liu family.

Since taking ownership of Huacheng, a sacred place for practicing wood arts, from the Changqi Dynasty more than twenty years ago, the Chilian Academy not only built a Chilian branch palace in the city, but also sent the supreme elder Chi Yezi to take charge.

To this day, Chi Yezi still remembers what his senior brother Chi Xinzi whispered in his ear before he left: "Junior brother, when you go to Huacheng, in addition to staying in the branch palace, don't forget to pay attention to those local forces..."

"The City Lord's Mansion of the Changqi Dynasty has already evacuated Huacheng. The Northern Dao Alliance will not get involved in these power disputes without authorization. Only the four major families occupying the four districts of Huacheng, east, west, south and north, need your attention..."

"Other families are not worth mentioning, only the Liu family in the north of the city you have to be extra careful of!"

At this point, even Chi Xinzi, the deputy palace master of Chi Lian Academy, couldn't help but reveal a trace of solemnity on his face: "The current head of the Liu family, Liu Ningshuang, is the younger sister of Liu Ningxiang, the tenth-turn alchemist of Xuelingxu and the head of Wanhua Peak!"

Snow Spirit Ruins!

Hearing this name, Chi Yezi was shocked.

Although they are both among the top five sects in the Northern Territory, and even in the minds of most Northern Territory cultivators, the reputation of the Chilian Academy far exceeds that of the Xueling Ruins.

But as a senior member of the Chi Lian Academy, Chi Yezi knew very well how terrifying the background of that ancient sect that only accepted female monks was.

The current Lord of Xueling Ruins can easily suppress all the monks in the northern border with just a sword and a knife!

Even their Chilian Academy's Palace Master, who was extremely confident in his own strength, had personally told them, the higher-ups, that if he fought with the Xueling Ruins Lord, he would die by the opponent's sword within three hundred rounds.

And there is absolutely no possibility of escape!

After hearing these words from their Palace Master, all the senior members of the academy, including Chi Xinzi and Chi Yezi, felt a chill in their bodies and minds.

Therefore, when facing the Liu family in the north of the city, who is backed by Xuelingxu, he needs to be extra cautious!

Otherwise, if you offend the Liu family in any way, given Xuelingxu’s habit of protecting its people, once they find out, they will definitely send cultivators to come and hold you accountable.

If we are not careful, this will lead to a conflict between the two top sects in the south and north of the Northern Territory.

Chi Yezi knew the seriousness of the matter, and after he promised his senior brother with a serious expression, he came to Huacheng with the order from the academy and took charge of this holy place for wood-path cultivation.

He originally followed the orders of his senior brother and behaved well in Huacheng. He did not offend the Liu family in the north of the city and even tried to please them.

It was not until the demon rebellion broke out in the Northern Territory that everything changed dramatically.

The Northern Territory Taoist Alliance declined.

The owner of Xueling Ruins disappeared mysteriously and his life or death is unknown.

Xuelingxu is unable to take care of itself and is trapped in the deep north of the northern border.

……

All these unexpected events made the cautious Chi Yezi feel surprised.

After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, Huacheng, the sacred place of wood cultivation, has almost completely fallen into his control, with only one last hidden danger left -

Liu family in the north of the city!

So, taking advantage of the great opportunity of the upcoming war against demons, Chi Yezi finally showed his fangs that had been hidden for many years, and decided to completely eliminate the threat of the Liu family in the north of the city!

"Master Liu,"

Chi Yezi's tone softened a little: "This old man's disciple is very intelligent and gifted. Even in the academy, he is considered to be one of the best. He is definitely worthy of Miss Liu Ling'er."

If Liu Ningshuang can be persuaded to change her mind without using force, that would be the best outcome. This would also help avoid pursuit from Xuelingxu after the war.

With this in mind, Chi Yezi changed his attitude and persuaded again with a sincere tone: "Now not only our academy, but even Xuelingxu is preparing for the battle against demons. They definitely don't have the energy to send people across the entire Northern Territory to Huacheng..."

As he spoke, he added with a faintly threatening tone: "Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your daughter, Miss Liu Ling'er, and the Liu family, right?"

Mu Shaoyun, the youngest son of the Mu family, also spoke up along with his master. His expression seemed sincere, but he could not hide his excitement and pride: "Master Liu, I really like Ling'er and will never let her down!"

Liu Ling'er frowned when she heard this.

If there hadn't been a Tenth Realm cultivator like Chi Yezi standing by, she would have been unable to resist teaching Mu Shaoyun a lesson.

Liu Ningshuang's face also looked bad.

She was silent for a moment: "Elder, I have already sent a message to Xuelingxu. They will send someone here soon. By then, the Liu family will move out of Huacheng and head to the north..."

This sentence is a concession.

As long as Xuelingxu sends people over, the Liu family in the north of the city will take the initiative to leave Huacheng, just like the City Lord's Mansion did more than 20 years ago.

By then, the entire Huacheng will belong to the Chilian Academy.

Having lived in Huacheng for so many years, Liu Ningshuang didn't want to leave just like that, but the current situation forced her to leave.

Even if he really traded his daughter's lifelong happiness for temporary peace, the family would inevitably end up being swallowed up by the Chilian Academy in the future.

Liu Ningshuang didn't want to do that.

The Liu family was also unwilling to do so.

After hearing her words, Chi Yezi fell into a temporary contemplation.

This result...is not bad.

Not only can he drive out the tough bone of the Liu family and completely control the entire Huacheng, but he also has a certain logic and will not offend Xuelingxu too much.

"can."

After weighing the pros and cons, Chi Yezi quickly made a decision.

Mu Shaoyun was stunned: "Master, no!"

He spoke up hurriedly, trying to persuade his master to give up his current idea and stick to his previous plan.

Chi Yezi glanced at the disciple, and his tone instantly sank: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Hearing his master's sudden cold voice, Mu Shaoyun trembled all over and woke up from his previous state.

His knees softened and he knelt down, his voice trembling: "Brother, disciple dare not..."

As Mu Shaoyun spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chi Yezi frantically.

This young master of the Mu family is obviously very afraid of his master.

Chi Yezi retracted his gaze and said, "Master Liu, I will give you ten days to move out of Flower City. If you still haven't moved out of Flower City after ten days, don't blame me for not giving face to Xuelingxu."

After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for an answer.

But as soon as he took a step, a hint of surprise appeared on Chi Yezi's face, as if he had received some news that shocked even him, a cultivator of the Tenth Realm.

"Master Liu,"

When Chi Yezi turned around again, his face had become serious: "I heard that you have a Nine-Turn Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Stealing Life and Death Grass in your hand?"

Chapter 349: You are actually a cultivator of the Tenth Realm?

Liu Ningshuang originally thought that the situation had been temporarily stabilized, but she did not expect Chi Yezi to suddenly bring up such a matter before leaving.

Stealing life to exchange for dead grass.

The Nine-Turn Wood Dao is a rare treasure from heaven and earth, containing abundant life essence. Even if a cultivator in the Ninth Realm is seriously injured, he can fully recover within a short period of time after taking it. It is also the main ingredient for several Nine-Turn Pill recipes.

There is indeed a plant called "stealing life and exchanging death" at Liu Ningshuang's place.

She hesitated for a moment, but still nodded calmly: "Yes, I do have a plant that can survive death."

Although it is unclear where Chi Yezi got the information, it is meaningless for her to deny it at this time.

After getting Liu Ningshuang's confirmation, Chi Yezi's eyes flashed with greed, but his face remained serious, and he continued:

"Master Liu, to be honest, a good friend of mine was injured in a fight with a demon many years ago. Even after several years of recuperation, he has not yet fully recovered."

"And the Stealing Life and Changing Death Grass in your hand is one of the main ingredients needed for the Nine Revolutions Pill recipe that can heal his injuries."

At this point, Chi Yezi finally revealed his thoughts: "Master Liu, can you bear the pain and sell this plant to me?"

Liu Ningshuang was silent.

Chi Yezi's words did not surprise her.

Although the supreme elder of the Chilian Academy appears to be humble and amiable, he is actually extremely greedy. During the more than 20 years that he has been stationed in Huacheng, it is unknown how much resources he has embezzled in secret.

Now that the other party knows that I have the rare treasure of the Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth, the Life-changing Death Grass, in my hand, I will definitely not let it go.

As for the words like good friends were injured, they were probably just lies made up by the other party to deceive you.

Liu Ningshuang politely refused, "I'm sorry, the real owner of this plant is my sister. I'm just keeping it for her. I'll return it to her in a few days when my sister brings the monks from Xuelingxu to Huacheng."

Hand over your life in exchange for dead grass?

Of course Liu Ningshuang didn't want to.

She got this plant by chance a few years ago and gave it to her sister as a gift, so she has kept it until now.

Chi Yezi’s face froze when he heard this.

Liu Ningxiang, the master of Wanhua Peak in Xuelingxu, is one of the few tenth-turn alchemists who stand at the top of alchemy in the five regions.

The other party's status and position are such that even he, the supreme elder of the Chilian Academy, cannot afford to offend.

Besides, he didn't have any friends injured, and what he said just now was just a lie he made up in order to save his life.

But since he knew about the existence of the "Life-for-Death Grass", Chi Yezi didn't want to go back empty-handed.

Thinking of the divine telepathic message that suddenly sounded in his mind just now, the expression of the supreme elder of the Chilian Academy began to become serious.

He did not know the identity of the master of the divine thought, but in addition to telling him that Liu Ningshuang had the information that she had the Life-for-Death Grass in her hands, the other party also proposed to join forces with him to suppress the Liu family and divide the spoils equally.
