Five Fingers Peak.
A main hall at the inner gate of Tiandao Sword Sect.
Ji Tianhong personally took his son Ji Changye and others to Tiandao Sword Sect to look for helpers.
The person who received Ji Tianhong was Zhang Daheng, the third elder of the inner sect of Tiandao Sword Sect.
Zhang Daheng was dressed in a black sword robe. He had a dark face and a broad face, with his chin facing forward. His eyes were narrow and long, which did not match his broad face at all. There was a sinister look in the opening and closing of his eyes.
His beard was already gray, and he was obviously quite old.
"Master Ji, what are you...!?" Zhang Daheng looked at the Qiankun bag in front of him. In the Qiankun bag were white flowers of top-quality spiritual stones, millions of them at least. The condensed spiritual energy was as abundant as a pulse.
Taking out millions of top-quality spiritual stones at once, it was obvious that what Ji Tianhong wanted was very difficult to accomplish.
Ji Tianhong took a deep breath and said: "Elder Zhang, in this northern wilderness, my Ji family only looks up to Tiandao Sword Sect and pays tribute every year. These five million top-quality spiritual stones are also filial piety to Tiandao Sword Sect."
Zhang Daheng's eyes flashed slightly as he stared at the five million top-quality spiritual stones, and his heart was indeed filled with excitement.
As the third elder of the Tiandao Sword Sect, he can only offer three thousand top-quality spiritual stones every month. In addition to giving the three thousand top-quality spiritual stones to his family, he also needs to practice for himself. It is simply not enough.
Many times, Zhang Daheng earned some spiritual stones by exploiting some of his disciples' spiritual stones, or by going out to hunt some monsters, demons, and the like.
There are also some small sects who ask for protection and will give them some spiritual stones.
But this Ji Tianhong said that the five million top-quality spiritual stones are for the Tiandao Sword Sect, so you can go directly to the sect leader. What are you doing with me?
Ji Tianhong sat aside and saw Zhang Daheng's eyebrows flashing and his mouth shut, and he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Elder Zhang, if you feel that my Ji family is not sincere enough, it doesn't matter. I, the Ji family, can add more. I should respect Elder Zhang as a person."
Ji Tianhong hurriedly changed his words.
Hearing this, Elder Zhang stroked his beard, showed a smile and said: "Old Ji, you and I have known each other for two hundred years. Even if your family doesn't pay tribute to the Tiandao Sword Sect every year, you and I can be considered old friends. What's the matter? If it’s a matter, just tell me directly.”
Ji Tianhong chuckled and immediately recounted the grudges between the Ji family and Lu Ning.
As he listened, Zhang Daheng's expression became extremely serious.
"Lu Ning? Is this the protector of the Xianbao Pavilion, Lu Ning, who destroyed the Taichu Sword Sect in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Daheng asked with a frown.
Ji Tianhong nodded and said: "Elder Zhang, that's him. This son killed the geniuses and members of my Ji family, and he has a sworn hatred against my Ji family. After he joined the Xianbao Pavilion, I went to kill him. At that time, he was killed by Yuan Ting. He and Yan Shengqiu tried to stop him, but failed to kill him."
"Now that boy comes to the Northern Wasteland, he will definitely seek revenge on me. I want to ask Elder Zhang for protection."
"shelter?"
Zhang Daheng sneered and said: "You really think highly of me. My strength is not much stronger than yours, and it is not as good as Hong Jian of Taichu Sword Sect."
"That kid was able to kill Hong Jian and even stop Hong Yi, the master of the Ming Dynasty Dao Sect. Do you think I am his opponent?"
"There has been news from the Ming Dynasty that the boy is a holy body and has a sacred weapon in his hand. That's why he dared to say that he would fight against the powerful Gongsun family emperor in a year's time."
"Otherwise, where do you think he got the courage?"
hiss!
Ji Tianhong and others couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Holy body and sacred vessel?
Ji Tianhong clearly remembered that when he killed Lu Ning last year, Lu Ning seemed to be in the physical body, but he never expected that he would reach the realm of the physical body in less than a year.
No wonder it was so easy to kill the powerful Dao Emperor.
Zhang Daheng continued: "Also, that boy is the protector of Xianbao Pavilion. With such a monster's talent, do you think Xianbao Pavilion will ignore it?"
After the words fell, Zhang Daheng stared at the five million top-quality spiritual stones, and his mind suddenly changed: "But it's not completely impossible."
When Ji Tianhong heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face and he said, "Elder Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Daheng's eyes flashed slightly: "You just said you wanted to add spiritual stones, how many are you going to add?"
Ji Tianhong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Daheng to be so direct, but he didn't care. He originally planned to use 10 million top-grade spiritual stones to ask Tiandao Sword Sect to take action.
He first took out five million pieces, thinking that when Tiandao Sword Sect heard that the enemy was Lu Ning and was unwilling to come forward, he could add more money.
Ji Tianhong gritted his teeth and said, "Add another two million top-quality spiritual stones, and ask Elder Zhang to think of a way for me."
Zhang Daheng said without saying a word: "Did you bring the spirit stones with you?"
Ji Tianhong nodded and quickly took out another Qiankun bag, which contained two million top-quality spiritual stones.
As soon as they were thrown on the table, Zhang Daheng stood up with two Qiankun bags and said: "You guys wait here, I will come back as soon as I go."
After the words fell, Zhang Daheng strode away.
In the main hall, Ji Changye and others' eyes fell on Ji Tianhong, especially when Ji Changye said: "Dad, I might as well make peace with that Lu Ning."
Ji Tianhong took a deep breath, he felt a little regretful now.
The information obtained is not precise enough.
If he had known that Lu Ning was a holy body and had a holy weapon in his hand, he would not have supported the decision of the great elder and others.
Now that he has come to the Tiandao Sword Sect with the best spiritual stone, he has no way out, otherwise he will offend the Tiandao Sword Sect and the Ji family will also have a hard time. Although they will not come to the door directly like Lu Ning, the Tiandao Sword Sect will use up their money bit by bit. His Ji family.
Ji Tianhong didn't say anything. This was already the case, so he could only ask Tiandao Sword Sect for protection.
Now I just hope that Zhang Daheng can persuade the sect leader Bai Huanyu. With Bai Huanyu's intervention, he should be able to save his Ji family.
However, Ji Tianhong didn't know that Zhang Daheng took five million top-quality spiritual stones and did not go to the sect leader Bai Huanyu, nor even the first elder Xiao Yang, but went directly to the second elder Tang Yuanfang.
Tang Yuanfang is a middle-aged man with a white face and brocade robe. He has a scholarly temperament, but he is extremely greedy for money.
Hearing Zhang Daheng say that Ji Tianhong came to seek protection with five million top-quality spiritual stones, he was also shocked.
Five million top-grade spiritual stones, not top-grade spiritual stones, but top-grade ones. Five million is really a lot. Even if the Ji family is one of the four major families in the Northern Wasteland, I'm afraid they only need one-third of the family. end.
"Asking for asylum?"
Tang Yuanfang had a strange look on his face. Although he was greedy for money, the five million top-quality spiritual stones gave him too much, and what Ji Tianhong wanted would definitely not be easy to do.
Besides, Ji Tianhong himself is a powerful Tao Emperor. In the Great Zhou Immortal World, the Tao Emperor is definitely a truly powerful person.
"What danger did the Ji family encounter?" Tang Yuanfang asked with a deep eyebrow, staring at the Qiankun bag.
Zhang Daheng once again explained the relationship between the Ji family and Lu Ning of Xianbao Pavilion.
When Tang Yuanfang heard this, he frowned and said, "Is this Lu Ning who will challenge Gongsun Hao of the Gongsun family in Tiandu City a year later?"
"It's him." Zhang Daheng nodded.
After receiving the confirmation, Tang Yuanfang couldn't help but take a deep breath and stared at the five million top-quality spiritual stones on the table, thinking that these spiritual stones had no chance with this elder.
That kid is the most evil genius that Xianbao Pavilion has recruited in a hundred years, and he also hopes that Lu Ning will participate in the Great Luck Competition in the Great Zhou Immortal Realm the year after next.
It is absolutely impossible for the old Pavilion Master Nangong of Xianbao Pavilion to see anything happen to Lu Ning.
So helping the Ji family deal with Lu Ning would be offending Lu Ning.
If you offend Lu Ning, you will offend the entire Xianbao Pavilion.
Tang Yuanfang asked himself that he was not so capable yet.
He immediately pushed the Qiankun bag to Zhang Daheng and said, "Tell Ji Tianhong that this elder is in retreat."
Although Tang Yuanfang was greedy for money, he also knew what kind of money he could be greedy for. He couldn't afford these five million top-quality spiritual stones.
Zhang Daheng laughed: "Brother Tang, don't be anxious!"
Tang Yuanfang frowned and said, "Junior brother Zhang, I'm not talking about you for my brother's sake. Don't wade into muddy waters in this matter, lest the sect master blame you!"
Zhang Daheng said: "Senior Brother Tang, you are much less courageous now!"
Tang Yuanfang's expression remained unchanged as he said, "How do you say this?"
Zhang Daheng said: "Senior Brother Tang, do you think the Xianbao Pavilion is more powerful, or my Tiandao Sword Sect?"
Tang Yuanfang frowned and said: "No need to ask, my Tiandao Sword Sect must be powerful."
Zhang Daheng laughed twice and said: "Ji Tianhong just asked for asylum, and he didn't ask us to kill Lu Ning. We can accept the money. When the time comes, Lu Ning really goes to Ji's house to look for trouble, you and I can come forward and speak out." And, with the reputation of our Tiandao Sword Sect, wouldn’t Lu Ning not give it?”
Hearing this, Tang Yuanfang was slightly startled. After pondering for a while, he felt that what Zhang Daheng said was reasonable.
The Tiandao Sword Sect is the first of the five major sects in the Great Zhou Immortal Realm. There are half-immortal strongmen in the sect, two Tianzuns, and six emperor-level strongmen.
Even if there are powerful Tianzun in Xianbao Pavilion, how can they compare with his Tiandao Sword Sect?
Even if Lu Ning is arrogant, he still has to give him Tiandao Sword Sect face.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuanfang chuckled and said: "Junior Brother Zhang is still thoughtful, so these five million top-quality spiritual stones..."
Zhang Daheng chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Tang, one million is enough for me, and the rest will be given to you."
"One million?" Tang Yuanfang was slightly startled. He also understood Zhang Daheng's temperament and was greedy for money.
Five million top-quality spiritual stones were placed in front of him, but taking only one million was not Zhang Daheng's temperament!
Zhang Daheng smiled and said: "Brother Tang, you also know that my cultivation is far inferior to yours. When the time comes, I will have to rely more on you to stand up for the Ji family. You should get more spiritual stones."
"As for the rest of our junior brothers, they should also be filial to Senior Brother Tang."
Hearing this, Tang Yuanfang's eyes flickered twice, and he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, you take one million pieces, and the rest will be pocketed by my brother."
Zhang Daheng smiled and took away one million top-quality spiritual stones, then stood up and said: "Senior Brother Tang, Ji Tianhong is still waiting for a reply from me. I will go back and tell him first, so that they can go back with peace of mind."
Tang Yuanfang nodded, and immediately stood up and said, "I heard that the sect master has left seclusion, so I went to have a look for my brother."
Zhang Daheng's eyes brightened and he said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tang, when you go, you can also say hello to the sect master on behalf of your junior brother."
Tang Yuanfang just nodded, and the two walked out of the hall quickly, and then separated.
Zhang Daheng returned to his residence and walked into the main hall. He saw Ji Tianhong sitting upright, but Ji Changye and others were a little impatient and couldn't help coughing lightly as they walked into the main hall.
Ji Tianhong stood up in a hurry, looked at Zhang Daheng and said, "Elder Zhang, what did Sect Master Bai say?"
"metropolitan?"
Zhang Daheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The sect leader is still in retreat. This elder is meeting the second elder. I, the Tiandao Sword Sect, are in charge of your Ji family's affairs. This is the jade talisman of the messenger. Just take it. If it's that Lu Ning After we go to your Ji’s house, just crush this jade talisman, and I and the second elder will definitely go to your Ji’s house and stand up for you.”
Hearing this, Ji Tianhong was a little happy and took the jade communication talisman. However, Zhang Daheng did not see the leader of the Bai Huanyu clan, which made him feel uneasy. After all, Tang Yuanfang was not a powerful Taoist sealer and could not stop Lu Ning at all. .
But Ji Tianhong didn't care anymore. Tang Yuanfang accepted five million top-quality spiritual stones and would figure out a way.
Immediately Ji Tianhong took Ji Changye and others to say goodbye to Zhang Daheng and returned to Ji's house in Ji Feng City.
…
boom!
Outside Jifeng City, in a dense forest, a violent force suddenly landed, shaking the ground with dense cracks.
The figure that appeared was a stout man three meters tall, carrying a black iron rod on his shoulder. He was none other than the Beast King Ape Court.
Yuanting stood in the dense forest, staring into the depths of Jifeng City with a pair of reddish eyes, while also paying attention to the monks coming and going from Jifeng City.
He had already heard about Lu Ning's destruction of Taichu Jianmen in the Ming Dynasty.
If you can destroy the Taichu Jianmen, you can also destroy the Ji family.
After so many days, Lu Ning should have fallen in the Northern Wasteland long ago.
He planned to wait here, and when Lu Ning showed up, he and Lu Ning would destroy the Ji family and avenge their clan members.
The anger of the Ji family in Yuanting is also filled with hatred.
Because he protected Lu Ning, the Northern Wilderness King was resistant to him and secretly instigated Ji Tianhong to attack him in the Beast King's Forest.
Ji Tianhong did take action and teamed up with the Qin family to kill many of his clansmen in a surprise attack.
Ape Ting never had time to avenge this revenge, because he was afraid that once he left, the Northern Wilderness King would send people to wipe out all his Diamond Ape Clan.
Therefore, the Ape Court moved the clan members to the far north of the Northern Wasteland and found a Beast King to help them take care of the clan members.
He plans to work with Lu Ning to pull out all the Ji family and Qin family of the four major families in the Northern Wasteland.
This day.
A young man wearing a red robe came from outside Jifeng City. This man was Lu Ning.
As soon as he appeared, hundreds of divine consciousness fell on him.
Lu Ning had no expression on his face and slowly walked towards Jifeng City.
However, at this time, a sharp sword energy suddenly shot out from Jifeng City, quickly fell outside the city wall, and turned into a white-haired old man, it was Ji Tianhong.
For a moment, the monks coming and going around quickly evaded.
"It's Lu Ning!"
After tens of thousands of monks dodged, their eyes fell on the big red robe, and they knew it was Lu Ning at a glance.
Last year, Lu Ning's portrait was plastered all over the Northern Wasteland. As long as the monks who had been to the Northern Wasteland didn't know about Lu Ning in the mortal world, he killed the prince of the Immortal Dynasty and the elders and disciples of the Taoist sect.
Nowadays, Lu Ning is even more famous, and of course he has a bad reputation.
Immediately afterwards, the elders of the Ji family appeared one after another and landed on the wall of Jifeng City. They all stared at Lu Ning with full vigilance.
Lu Ning paused, staring at Ji Tianhong who was thousands of feet away, and then at the eight figures on the city wall, with murderous intent rolling in his eyes: "Okay, let's solve it here, so as not to hurt innocent people when we enter the city. "
Ji Tianhong said in a deep voice: "Lu, if you kill my great-grandson and members of the Ji family, should I kill you?"
"It shouldn't be!"
Lu Ning shook his head indifferently: "Ji Shaoyang was ordered by the King of Beihuang to kill me during the selection of elite immortal hunters. He deserves to die! So if he is dead, you should go to the King of Beihuang instead of chasing me."
"As for your Ji family members, if they come to kill me, they deserve to die even more!"
"They came to kill me first, not me to kill them."
"I, Lu Ning, believe that I am reasonable in everything I do."
"So you chased me twice, and you deserve to die!"
Ji Tianhong: "...!!"
