"Elder Xu, what do you mean?"
Chen Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Shihan who was blocking Li Hu and asked in a voice.
He originally thought that Xu Shi was a smart man and that this method of provoking the generals had failed, so he might as well kill Li Hu himself who had made him angry.
But unexpectedly, at that critical moment, Xu Shi actually took action.
"Xuntian Mansion must pay attention to evidence when killing people." Xu Shi took out a pill from his sleeve in a calm voice, fed Li Hu to drink it, and then looked at Chen Ji seriously and said:
"He has already explained that it has nothing to do with that matter, right?"
Chen Ji looked gloomy and suddenly asked loudly:
"how about you!"
"As the master who adopted Ji Ning, he could openly break into Jiang Chuan's gambling house and take away those two things. I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Xu Shi, it's you, you're the one behind it, right? The two missing things are on you!"
Chen Ji's voice resounded throughout the world, and everyone who heard it was shocked.
"So that's the case. No wonder you are protecting him. Master Xu Feng is really scheming and audacious. He even dares to rob things from Xuntian Mansion."
The old woman surnamed Lu said coldly from the side with a smile on her face.
In fact, she is Chen Ji's internal counterpart in the Taoist temple.
As for Chen Ji, the reason why he wanted to use Li Hu to anger Xu Shi was because of her intentional or unintentional misdirection, which finally made Chen Ji feel that Xu Shi had planned all these things behind his back.
As for what the Sky Patrol Division had lost, and whether it could be found, she didn't care at all.
As long as I can take the opportunity to kill Xu Shi.
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting that the people from Xantian Mansion would suspect him.
"So you came here to check me out from the beginning, then why didn't you just tell me?"
The man looked puzzled.
Chen Ji's face turned pale and he said nothing.
Why didn't he want to take the governor's handwriting and beat up the suspect without saying a word, and then execute him at will for investigation, but this time the situation was different.
The Governor is no longer in Beijun. Even all the powerful deacons in Xantian Mansion have been taken away, leaving only a few of them.
What's more, when he revealed his suspicions about Xu Shi, the governor who had always trusted him unconditionally before hesitated for the first time and told him tactfully that he could investigate, but not to go too far.
"Elder Xu did indeed do many earth-shattering things back then."
Chen Ji did not answer directly, but said something like this.
The others were silent when they heard the words.
Is such that.
Xu Shi was not an ordinary person back then. Among the prodigious sons he killed, there were also people from the Xantian Mansion in Beijun.
Even within the Xantian Mansion, it can only be regarded as having a relatively low power level!
"I really don't know about Ning'er, and I don't know what you threw," Xu Shiping said calmly.
When Chen Ji heard this, his face showed sarcasm:
"Elder Xu is talking nonsense. If I am sent away by your words, how will the governor handle the matter?"
After hearing this, Xu Shi was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Ji and said:
"If Ji Xiuming doesn't believe it, let him come to me himself."
Ji Xiuming is the governor of Beijun Xantian Mansion.
The fifth level is the overhaul of the calamity realm.
"It's just you..."
Chen Ji suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
He originally wanted to say that to deal with you, a minor repairman in the third stage, it would take our governor to intervene, and you came to see him by name, who do you think you are?
Yes, with the existence of the fifth realm, with a flick of the finger, this entire Taoist temple may be gone, and no one can resist it.
But when he saw the middle-aged man's serious look and the governor's instructions before leaving, Chen Ji suddenly fell silent.
"Farewell."
After pondering for a long time, the young man looked ugly, turned around and left decisively without saying anything more.
The old woman above wanted to say something, but Xu Shi glanced at her and immediately shrank back.
Then, Xu Shi lowered his head and looked at Li Hu with a calm expression:
"Even if you are not a golden bone, I will save you."
Li Hu looked at the man in front of him, swallowed his Adam's apple, and wanted to thank Xu Shi, but Xu Shi turned around and said calmly:
"In ten days, Qin Zhishou, the first genius I have ever watched, will take the people from Nine Heavens Palace back to the Taoist temple for a visit."
"At that time, a disciple will be selected to practice in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."
Boom!
This news was like thunder on the ground, igniting the whole place. All the disciples were in ecstasy. Even the Supreme Elder was shocked. Obviously, none of them knew the news.
Only Xu Shi knows.
"Everyone, please work hard."
After saying that, Xu Shi turned and left, leaving only the outer and inner gates of Manfeng and the heated discussions of countless servant disciples.
But, what no one knows is.
Unlike those disciples, Li Hu heard a word that no one else heard.
"At noon tomorrow, look for me at Tianhai Peak. There is still a place for me to pass on."
When Li Hu heard this, his mind buzzed.
The tall boy lowered his head, the corners of his eyes were moist and a little excited.
Because starting from today.
He, Li Hu, is in the world of spiritual practice.
I also have a backer.
…
…
Xiushan, somewhere in the forest.
"Great, it won't be long before I reach the Copper Bones!"
It was just after noon and the sun was shining brightly. Ji Ning was sitting cross-legged on a flat stone with his eyes closed and a strong aura exuding from his whole body.
The spiritual energy was fierce and invaded the body along the pores, as if it had ignited the bone marrow, frantically tempering the bones as tough as willows. Ji Ning gritted his teeth, his whole body was hot and red, and he did not make a sound.
After a long time.
"call!"
Ji Ning exhaled a long white breath, stood up with sweat pouring from his body, jumped into the cauldron that had been burned for a long time, and soaked in the medicinal bath.
The water in the cauldron was boiling hot, and the medicinal materials inside were all very potent and had great nutritional value for the body. They also had a tempering effect, and the inner elixir of the monster was also put into it.
The physical body has just been tempered, and the pores are about to expand.
A gush of fierce medicinal power, accompanied by the barbaric aura in the demon pill, poured into Ji Ning's body, tempering his body for the second time, and immediately distorted Ji Ning's face in pain, and he subconsciously wanted to jump out of the cauldron. But he endured it all his life.
over time.
Ji Ning could feel that the willow bones in his body were slowly transforming, and his strength seemed to be improving. He also gradually adapted to the intensity of tempering his body, and his expression gradually became calmer, except for his frown. .
Until, after one stick of incense.
"call!"
Ji Ning finished quenching his body, breathed a long sigh of relief, and jumped out of the medicine cauldron, full of energy and strong breath.
The young man was smiling.
He could feel that his strength had improved again, but he didn't know at what level.
"Now, I should have no problem fighting against the ordinary bronze-bone demon. The iron-bone should also be able to fight. As for the silver-bone..."
Thinking of this, Ji Ning smacked his lips and felt a little excited.
His physical body was already stronger than ordinary people, and now it was improving rapidly. He wanted to know what level he was at, and whether he could fight against Silver Bones?
At this time, a slim girl holding a small green sword walked out of the trees in the distance. She was Ye Yu from the Xantian Mansion.
"Is it over so soon?" Ye Yu's face was stained with a trace of blood. She looked at Ji Ning suspiciously, threw a cloth bag over and asked:
"Have you survived three breaths in the medicinal bath?"
When Ji Ning heard this, his smile suddenly froze, and he said with black lines on his face: "Miss Ye, please have some confidence in me, I only came out after the water had cooled down!"
"So powerful, have you broken through the realm?"
"No."
"But I think I can beat the average tough guy."
Ji Ning smiled, her delicate face full of confidence.
He took the cloth bag and opened it. It was filled with the inner elixirs of some monsters.
Three days have passed since he killed the Blood Ganoderma that night and won the opportunity to become a saint.
In the past three days, he and Ye Yu had been together, cultivating their voices and tempering their bodies.
Ye Yu recovered much faster than him, so it wasn't long before he volunteered to hunt monsters and obtain inner elixirs for him to practice.
"Thank you, Miss Ye!"
Ji Ning saluted seriously.
Counting these seven inner elixirs, he now has more than thirty, enough to last him a long time.
"You're making rapid progress indeed."
After a simple exchange, Ye Yu was a little surprised.
A few days ago, Ji Ning could not withstand three moves by her with his physical body alone, but now he can withstand thirty moves, and his strength is much stronger, and even the flow of spiritual energy has accelerated.
But it was obvious that Ji Ning had not broken through to any realm, yet he was still the lowest level.
"Process." Ji Ning clasped his fists and smiled. Ye Yu had helped him a lot these days, but he couldn't repay him for the time being.
"After I take care of everything, I will definitely go to Xantian Mansion to find you."
"It's a deal, I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait for you to repay your kindness."
Ye Yu also smiled slightly and looked into the distance with a touch of sadness in his expression.
It had been almost a month since she went into the mountain to investigate the case, but she hadn't even seen the fugitive. However, she unexpectedly got a lot of opportunities and got to know Ji Ning.
Now, both of their injuries have recovered, and it's time to part ways.
Still a little reluctant to give up.
Ye Yu was confused and his chest was rising and falling slightly. He suppressed it and said:
"Finally, I'll take you to kill a big demon."
"Three miles away from here, there is a second-stage buffalo beast. You try to hunt him yourself. Let me see. If you can't stand it, go up again. Let me see what level you belong to now."
"no problem."
Ji Ning smiled heartily and agreed without any hesitation. Being able to fight against the second-stage demon under protection was a rare opportunity.
What's more, he is really curious about what level his strength belongs to.
"Come with me."
Ye Yu's voice was calm, and he turned around and walked into a dense forest, with Ji Ning following closely behind.
After a while, Ji Ning heard the sound of gurgling water.
In the cave behind the spring, there is a dark buffalo nestled in the cave. Its iron hooves are as huge as millstones, and its horns are like hooks. Its huge demon eyes are tightly closed, and it is enjoying sleep very comfortably. Apparently, it has not yet sensed the danger. advent.
