Time passed, and after several rounds of assessments, the successor to the Eighth Elder was finally decided.
Not surprisingly, King Baili became the new eighth elder.
Alchemy masters from the Tree Realm came to Jishui City one after another. Including Ning Fan, a total of 11 rank-6 alchemy masters came to Jishui this time.
Ning Fan stayed at home and was busy refining anti-epileptic pills, seemingly indifferent to everything happening in the outside world.
Secretly, he used the sky-peeping technique several times to secretly spy on the movements of the entire Makino Kingdom.
Makino Country, Jishui City...everything looks calm.
When the three top-level alchemy masters of the sixth level of the Tree Realm all arrived in Jishui City, Ning Fan received the invitation from the Bamboo Palace.
The one who came to deliver the invitation was a green-eyed young man in the middle stage of becoming a god, the young master of the Xingbai clan.
He looked at Ning Fan with a look that was two-thirds of admiration and seven-fold awe... He was also an alchemist.
"This junior is here to invite Senior Lu to attend tonight's banquet in the Bamboo Hall under the orders of the Third Elder. Senior will know the specific details as soon as he reads the invitation."
Ning Fan took the invitation and glanced at it.
Tonight, the Bamboo Palace will host a banquet in the Bamboo Palace to entertain the 11 sixth-level alchemists who came to Jishui City.
Tomorrow, the Bamboo Emperor will take 11 sixth-level alchemists and some fifth-level alchemists to the place where Zu Zhu is located to officially diagnose Zu Zhu.
"Except for the 11 sixth-level alchemists like me, who will be coming to this palace banquet?" Ning Fan asked.
"Returning to the seniors, this palace banquet will be hosted by the Bamboo Emperor himself. All the seven Suixu Elders will attend, and even the new Eighth Elder will attend. In addition to the seniors and other sixth-level alchemists, the Bamboo Emperor also invited some void refining forces Attend the palace banquet, such as the Fusang clan, Nanmu clan..."
"Okay, I understand, please step back." Ning Fan nodded.
"Yes, I will take my leave now, junior." The young man bowed respectfully and left in the form of light.
The dusk is getting darker, and the night is coming.
Ning Fan left the Golden Palace, walked on Jishui Long Street, and walked slowly towards the Bamboo Palace.
During this period, he sometimes felt uneasy in his heart, as if some danger was approaching.
He doesn't like to get involved in irrelevant dangers, but in order to obtain the Tree Ancestral Fruit, he has to stay in the East Tree Sea...
While Ning Fan was thinking, bloodthirsty tiger roars suddenly came from the direction behind him.
But he saw a tree cart pulled by four wild beasts called blood tigers, approaching from a distance.
This tree cart has the emblem of the Baili clan painted on it. The drivers are four Baili Qixu. The person sitting in the cart is none other than King Baili, who has just been promoted to the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace!
Upon seeing the bloody tiger tree chariot, the monks on the long street retreated away.
The tree cart was speeding along, and when it reached Ning Fan's side, it suddenly stopped.
King Baili walked out of the cart with cold eyes and said nothing. He waved his sleeves violently, and countless blood shot out from his sleeves, forming a jade post and throwing it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan took the jade post and glanced at it.
This is the fourth battle card given to him by King Baili!
This time the war invitation was sent by King Baili himself.
This time, the battle post was no longer written with a single word 'death', but with three words.
'Tomorrow, die! '
King Baili's eyes contained boundless murderous intent, and it seemed that he would never give up until he killed Ning Fan!
But in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a hint of pain, a hint of pleading, a hint of reminder... That was his true expression.
From beginning to end, King Baili didn't say a word. After sending out the fourth battle card, he got back on the tree cart and sped away towards the Bamboo Palace.
The nearby monks who did not know the truth noticed that King Baili looked at Ning Fan with murderous eyes, and they all secretly guessed that King Baili had some trouble with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan stood on the long street, holding the fourth battle card with a look of deep thought.
This battle post only has three words, but it contains an important message.
Tomorrow!
Ning Fan's mind was racing. Will the Baili clan kill him tomorrow?
But if the Baili tribe really wanted to kill him, why did they specify the date so that he could prepare in advance?
"Tomorrow, more killers from the Baili tribe will come to kill me...Does King Baili want me to be prepared and kill all the Baili killers?"
"His war post is not so much a show of murderous intent as a reminder of what I am using... What is his purpose in doing this..."
"Tomorrow, the Bamboo Emperor will take me and the sixth-level alchemy masters into the Xiaoqian Forbidden Area where Zu Zhu is located to diagnose Zu Zhu's illness. Could it be that the Baili Clan will attack me there..."
"No matter what, you must be careful tomorrow!"
Ning Fan walked all the way to the Bamboo Palace, a palace built of golden bamboo.
Outside the palace, when the guards saw Ning Fan coming with an invitation, they immediately welcomed him into the palace to sit down at the table.
In the palace, rows of palace maids dressed in gauze were dancing gracefully, and the fragrance filled the crowd.
In the main hall, the Bamboo Emperor occupies the chief position. Below him are the seats of 11 sixth-level alchemists. Below that are the seats of Elder Suixu of the Bamboo Palace. After that are the seats of other virtual refining forces and fifth-level alchemists. .
Such an arrangement naturally shows how much the Bamboo Emperor attaches great importance to the healing of Zu Bamboo.
Ning Fan was not the first to arrive as a sixth-level alchemist, nor was he the last.
Before him, there were already 7 sixth-level alchemists taking the seat, including 3 senior-level alchemists of the sixth-level, and 4 intermediate and lower-level alchemists of the sixth level.
The four rank six middle and lower level alchemists were very polite to Ning Fan. When they saw Ning Fan take the seat, they immediately stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
The three rank six advanced alchemists looked at Ning Fan with different expressions.
Among the three people, one was from the North Tree Sea and was the tree owner of the Cangsheng Tree Sea. He looked at Ning Fan with a bit of arrogance and disdain.
This person has a very high self-esteem. As the number one alchemist in Beishuhai, his eyes are higher than his head. He would not even put Guiyuan Taixu in his eyes. Even alchemists at the same level, he looks down on anyone.
He looked down on Ning Fan and didn't want to talk to Ning Fan for even a moment. After looking at Ning Fan slightly, he smiled disdainfully, eyes wide open, and fell asleep.
Another rank-6 advanced alchemist comes from Dong Shuhai and is the chief alchemist of Teng Palace. His name is Zhu Hong.
This man looked at Ning Fan with a hint of hostility. Needless to say, the reason was because Ning Fan had offended Emperor Teng.
The last person came from Nan Shuhai, named Sun Yu, and was the chief alchemist of the Snow Willow Demon Palace. This man's face was kind, and he looked at Ning Fan with a smile.
After realizing that Ning Fan's medicine soul was one point better than his, Sun Yu immediately cupped his fists and said politely,
"Lu Daoyou's powerful medicinal soul power is worthy of being someone who can shatter six-color ancient monuments with the power of medicinal soul."
"Fellow Daoist Sun was joking."
Ning Fan sat next to Sun Yu, smiled politely at the latter, and returned the favor with cupped fists.
He had found out the details of the Sixth Level Alchemist of the Tree Realm before he came to the banquet. The Cangsheng Tree Master and Zhu Hong didn't want to see him, so he naturally ignored them.
Sun Yu was polite to him, and he was polite in return.
The two exchanged cups and cups and exchanged their own alchemy skills.
The characteristic of Ning Fan's alchemy is that he combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and covers a wide range of topics.
The alchemy that Sun Yu learned was the orthodox "Wood Burning Dao" alchemy in the tree world. Although he did not have a wide range of knowledge, he studied the wood burning Dao alchemy very deeply.
The two chatted for a while, and they had quite a common language, and gradually their exchanges became deeper and deeper.
Sun Yu thought about something and hesitated to speak, but finally decided to remind Ning Fan and asked via voice transmission.
"I dare to ask fellow Daoist Lu if he has ever offended Emperor Liu..."
"Emperor Liu?" Ning Fan recalled the encounter with Liu Haoyue, laughed and shook his head, and replied via voice message, "I have not offended him."
"This is strange... Fellow Daoist has never offended Emperor Liu, so why would Emperor Liu give that order..." Sun Yu shook her head in confusion, and then sent a message to Ning Fan to remind him,
"Fellow Taoist, please do not come to Nan Shuhai in the near future...Fellow Taoist once angered Emperor Teng, and Emperor Teng issued a wanted order to arrest fellow Taoist. The order was passed to Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu saw the order. After laughing three times, he issued an order...Liu Emperor ordered the monks of Liu Palace to closely monitor the movements near the realm gate. Once he informed the Taoist monks that they had arrived in Nanshuhai, he would "invite the monks to Liu Palace to stay for a while." ..."
In the eyes of Sun Yu and other uninformed people, it was a lie that Emperor Liu asked Ning Fan to stay in Liu Palace for a while, but it was true that he captured and imprisoned Ning Fan in Liu Palace.
Naturally, Sun Yu didn't know that Emperor Liu once had a relationship with Ning Fan and admired Ning Fan's profound enlightenment.
After seeing Ning Fan's wanted order, Emperor Liu immediately understood that Ning Fan had sneaked into the Tree Realm from the Rain Realm.
Emperor Liu's order was really just to invite Ning Fan to the Liu Palace for a talk, and there was no malicious intention.
"That's it. Thank you Taoist friend for reminding me that Mr. Lu will not go to Nanshuhai in the near future. But if you Taoist friend returns to Liu Palace, please say hello to Mr. Liu for me and say that Mr. Lu is busy with worldly affairs. , I’m afraid this is a rare opportunity to go to Nan Shuhai and have a drink with him.”
Sun Yu reminded Ning Fan that he had some goodwill, and Ning Fan was naturally grateful.
He also pointed out to Sun Yu that he had some friendship with Emperor Liu, and that Emperor Liu's orders were not malicious, but just ordinary goodwill.
Sun Yu was slightly surprised, not expecting that Ning Fan and Liu Huang had some friendship.
After understanding this, Sun Yu naturally no longer worried about Ning Fan being dealt with by Nan Shuhai, and strongly invited Ning Fan to go to Nan Shuhai in his spare time to exchange alchemy skills.
After drinking for three rounds, the sound transmission sound in Sun Yu's storage bag suddenly rang.
The message in Yingui was from Sun Yu's disciple. It seemed that something minor had happened and Sun Yu needed to rush back to his residence in Jishui City to deal with it.
Sun Yu frowned slightly and said to Ning Fan, "My disciples have some minor problems in alchemy refining. I'll go back and deal with it... Hey, I'll go ahead and see you tomorrow."
After Sun Yu said goodbye to the Bamboo Emperor, he left the palace banquet first.
No one noticed that when Sun Yu left, Master Zhu Hong from Xishuhai looked at Sun Yu's back and showed a sneer.
"The plan is about to begin..."
Shortly after Sun Yu left, the palace banquet was almost coming to an end.
Tonight's banquet is just for 11 sixth-level alchemy masters.
Tomorrow dawns, and it’s time to diagnose and treat Zu Zhu’s strange disease!
The alchemists did not stay for a long time and left one after another.
Ning Fan also said goodbye and left, but after he left the banquet, where the Fusang clan was sitting, Tang Xiong and his daughter also left the banquet, quickly caught up with Ning Fan and left with him.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
Behind Tang Xiong, there followed the dejected Miss Tang Yuan. The spell of fixing the sky had been removed. However, after suffering the pain of the spell of fixing the sky, Tang Yuan was obviously much calmer and did not dare to look for Ning Fan again. trouble.
"What's the matter?"
Ning Fan stopped and looked at Tang Xiong with a half-smile.
"I stopped the fellow Taoist just to apologize to the fellow Taoist. My little girl is spoiled and willful, and does not know the importance of her actions. She has offended fellow Taoist many times before, and even asked the fellow Taoist to give you a lot. Don't be as knowledgeable as a mere little girl." Tang Xiong clasped his fists and apologized, smiling. It seemed that the injury was affected, and he coughed several times.
"I'm not a little girl..." Tang Yuan raised her head weakly and retorted, but was immediately glared hard by Tang Xiong and did not dare to say any more.
She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Ning Fan, for fear of angering Ning Fan and being thrown into the monster's lair to fend for herself...
Ning Fan couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Although Tang Yuan acted unruly and willful, he was actually just a paper tiger.
If you indulge her, she will bite your nose and flatter her; if you treat her seriously, she will be submissive and afraid.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry. Your love just had a small quarrel with me. Lu is not as familiar as a little girl. If Taoist friend is fine, Lu will take the first step."
"Wait a minute! I have one more thing, I want to ask fellow Taoist..." Tang Xiong gritted his teeth and called Ning Fan again.
"What else is there?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"I would like to ask fellow Taoist to take my little girl as my concubine..." When Tang Xiong said this, his face was full of helplessness.
"Wha, what! Daddy, what are you talking about? Why should I be a concubine for this bastard Lu Bei!" Tang Yuan was furious for a moment, and his face turned red.
"Are Fellow Taoist Tang joking with Mr. Lu?" Ning Fan also asked with a frown.
Tang Yuan is the little princess of the Fusang clan. Although her appearance and qualifications are not first-rate, she is pretty good.
Although the Fusang clan has declined, with the rich heritage of the Fusang clan, it is not difficult to find a Taoist companion for Tang Yuan. Why would this girl be given to Ning Fan as a concubine...
It would make sense if some small forces gave away girls to please Ning Fan.
No matter how much a giant like the Fuso clan declines, it is impossible for them to give away their daughters to seek glory...
Ning Fan was very confused... what Tang Xiong meant by this move.
Although he didn't dislike Tang Yuan, he didn't have a good impression of her either. Just when he was about to refuse, Tang Xiong suddenly gritted his teeth, took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Fan, saying.
"Fusang has no way out... After seeing this jade slip, fellow Taoist, you will know what I am thinking."
Ning Fan took the jade slip, glanced at it with his mind, and was suddenly shocked when he saw the contents.
This is the information coming from Jumang Kingdom in Beishuhai: The old demon Fusang who guarded Jumang Kingdom has fallen!
The old demon Fusang still has ten years to live, but a few days ago, a strong man who broke the void suddenly sneaked into Jumang and secretly fought with the old demon Fusang.
This battle damaged the foundation of Fusang Old Demon and damaged his longevity. He originally had ten years left to live, but his vitality was exhausted because of this battle...
The old demon Fuso died a few days ago, and after his death, his body was kidnapped...
Except for telling the Bamboo Emperor, the Fusang clan blocked the news from the outside world and kept it secret.
The old demon Fusang was wiped out by the strong Suixu and died. The strong Suixu must be the formidable enemy of the Fusang clan.
Tang Xiong felt that the Fusang clan was about to suffer a great disaster, so he decided to give his daughter to Ning Fan.
In Tang Xiong's impression, Ning Fan possesses extremely terrifying evil aura, has most likely killed the Shattering Void monk, and has the ability to protect Tang Yuan.
And after getting along with each other in Jumangguo, Tang Xiong believed that Ning Fan was trustworthy, and there would be nothing wrong with giving his daughter to Ning Fan to take care of him.
Tang Xiong is going to be left alone. He has a premonition that the Fusang clan is not far away from extinction...
If Fusang disappears, it will be destroyed. If it reaches its peak, it will decline. These are all determined by heaven and cannot be forced.
But the only thing Tang Xiong couldn't worry about was his own daughter, and he didn't want his daughter to die with Fusang.
If Tang Yuan can survive, he will be able to save some of the blood of the Fusang clan...
"What do you think, fellow Taoist, please agree to my request!" Tang Xiong sighed and closed his eyes.
Ning Fan is not the only one who can foresee the coming catastrophe, but anyone who is in the catastrophe can feel uneasy in his heart.
The Bamboo Emperor is uneasy, and the Bamboo Palace is uneasy, but their uneasiness is only caused by the madness of the ancestral tree.
However, Tang Xiong could predict that he was not far from death. If it was not the time of life and death, he would not ask Ning Fan to take in his beloved daughter.
Bang!
Tang Xiong suddenly knelt down in front of Ning Fan, his old face turning blood red from holding back.
He never knelt down in his life, but for the sake of his beloved daughter, he was willing to sacrifice his dignity and kneel down...
"Dad!" Tang Yuan was stunned. She had never seen her father kneeling down to beg for help.
She didn't know that the Fusang clan was on the verge of collapse, and she didn't know that her father was feeling sad when he knelt down.
She was panic-stricken and at a loss. She wanted to help Tang Xiong up, but she couldn't.
Ning Fan was shocked and moved by Tang Xiong's love for his daughter.
The world of cultivation is indifferent and does not value family ties, but only focuses on cultivation. As a powerful hero, Tang Xiong disobeys both heaven and earth, yet he is willing to humiliate himself for his beloved daughter.
Ning Fan recalled his mother, whom he had never met, and the scenes he saw in Weeping Blood Forest, and his cold heart was touched by them.
If she is in trouble, my mother will definitely be willing to kneel down to others...
The love of a father, the thoughts of a mother... How many monks walked out of the mountain village, cut off the mortal world rashly, abandoned their parents, just to pursue the elusive immortality.
Those old weirdos who claim to have a Taoist heart as stone and a city as sea as their hearts seek immortality, but find it difficult to find it.
If you can't even do it as a human, how can you be an immortal?
"Fellow Taoist, please rise. I will accept this matter. After I complete the Bamboo Emperor's instructions and cure the ancestral tree, I will take Miss Tang Yuan away from Dongshuhai and protect her for the rest of my life. It will not be difficult... Until then, Miss Tang Yuan will stay with fellow Taoist Taoist for the time being."
Ning Fan helped Tang Xiong up and glanced sideways at Tang Yuan.
This woman was looking at him with confusion, her eyes were extremely complicated.
Tang Yuan was about to cry but had no tears. She didn't understand what happened at all, so her father gave her to Ning Fan as a concubine.
Depend on it! When she thought about marrying Ning Fan as her concubine in the future, she was so angry that she fell headlong into tofu.
He wanted to yell at Ning Fan, but he immediately remembered Ning Fan's terrifying supernatural powers and became a little scared again.
Thinking about her stubborn father actually kneeling down for her, she felt very sour in her heart. She wanted to cry but couldn't.
Thinking about it again, her father gave her to Ning Fan for no reason. Could it be that Ning Fan did something bad that forced his father to take this step?
It's possible, very possible! very possible!
Ning Fan is a rank-6 advanced alchemist. He is favored by the Bamboo Emperor and has a transcendent status. If he threatens the Fusang clan, the declining Fusang clan will probably have to compromise...
"Master, you are despicable! You set up a conspiracy to forcefully marry me. Even if you get my person, you won't get my heart!" Tang Yuan gritted his teeth and said to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan shook his head and did not explain anything to Tang Yuan. He just reminded Tang Xiong, "Some big things may happen recently. If it is not necessary, don't leave Jishui City... If possible, when I leave Dong Shuhai, I will Take away all the Fusang clan and help you and others avoid disaster..."
...
Changdan Palace is the residence of Nan Shuhai Master Sun Yu in Jishui City.
Sun Yu received the message from his disciples and hurried back to the palace.
As soon as Fang entered the palace, he saw more than a dozen disciples standing in the alchemy room with empty eyes, as if they were walking zombies.
A sense of crisis suddenly came from behind. Sun Yu turned around suddenly, only to see a silver-haired old man standing behind him, with blood-red eyes, surrounded by the aura of Suixu Yitian, invisible and silent.
"You are..." Sun Yu's eyes showed alertness. Before he could finish his words, he saw the silver-haired old man suddenly raised his fingers. When his magic power was activated, countless magic threads thinner than silk spread out from his fingers. Thousands of thin threads penetrated Sun Yu's body.
After all, Sun Yu was also a Wenxu monk, but the moment this thread penetrated his body, the soul in his dantian immediately dissipated!
The dissipation of the soul means the death of Sun Yu, but Sun Yu did not die, but survived in a strange state!
His eyes became empty and blank, and when he looked at the silver-haired old man, his body suddenly fell to his knees stiffly.
"Sun...yu...shen...meet...the master...man..."
After Sun Yu knelt down and surrendered strangely, another old man suddenly walked out from behind the silver-haired old man. He was Zhu Hong, the chief alchemist of Xi Shuhai.
"Unexpectedly, I have been fighting with Sun Yu for a lifetime in alchemy. In the end, Sun Yu became Elder Wan's puppet... Haha, I am really impressed by the power of Elder Wan Zhang!" Zhu Hong said to the silver-haired man. The old man said respectfully.
He did not dare to be disrespectful to the silver-haired old man in the slightest. Although the silver-haired old man was only an old monster of the first level of Sui Xu, he was more dangerous than the ordinary second and third level old monsters of Sui Xu!
He is Wan Changkong, the madman who single-handedly slaughtered other trees and seas thousands of years ago!
Even the Bamboo Emperor and Liu Emperor personally took action, but they still couldn't catch him!
He is the most important part of the Teng Emperor's plan to destroy the Bamboo Palace. His demonic veins have a very terrifying ability, and can directly turn the enemy into his own puppet!
Anyone with a lower level of cultivation than him cannot escape the control of his demonic power!
Even if his cultivation level is one or two levels higher than his, he can still control it as long as he sacrifices a certain price!
"Haha, ten thousand years ago, I entered the East Tree Sea and buried enough chess pieces. Tomorrow, I will control tens of millions of puppets and cooperate with Emperor Teng inside and outside, and the Bamboo Palace will be destroyed! As for those crazy people who dare to offend Emperor Teng Tu Lu Bei, let’s take this opportunity to kill them all!”
"After tomorrow, the Bamboo Emperor will surely be shocked. How many of his confidants are my puppets! Haha, I am really looking forward to this fratricidal show..." (To be continued .)
