Time has passed, and after several rounds of assessments, the successor of the eighth elder has finally settled.
Not surprisingly, King Baili became the new Eighth Elder.
The alchemy masters from the tree world came to Jishui City one after another. Including Ning Fan, a total of 11 sixth-rank alchemists came to Jishui this time.
Ning Fan stayed at home and was busy refining the anti-epilepsy pills. On the surface, he was indifferent to everything that happened in the outside world.
Secretly, he used the Peeping Rain Technique several times, secretly peeping at the movements of the entire Muye Kingdom.
Muye Country, Jishui City... Everything was calm.
When the three rank six top-rank alchemists in the tree world all arrived at Jishui City, Ning Fan received an invitation from the Bamboo Palace.
The person who came to send the invitation was a young man with green eyes in the middle stage of God Transformation, the young master of the Xingbai clan.
He looked at Ning Fan's eyes with three-point admiration and seven-point awe... He was also an alchemist.
"Junior, on the order of the three elders, came here to invite Senior Lu to participate in the banquet in the Bamboo Palace tonight. For details, Senior will know after reading the invitation post."
Ning Fan took the invitation post and glanced at it.
Tonight, the Bamboo Palace will hold a banquet in the Bamboo Palace to entertain the 11 six-turn alchemists who come to Jishui City.
Tomorrow, the Emperor Zhu will take 11 sixth-turn alchemists and some fifth-turn alchemists to the place where Zu Zhu is located to officially diagnose Zu Zhu.
"Apart from me and the 11 sixth-ranking alchemists, who will come to this palace banquet?" Ning Fan asked.
"In the words of senior, this palace banquet will be hosted by Emperor Bamboo in person, and all the seven elders will be present, including the new eighth elders. In addition to seniors and other rank six alchemists, the emperor also invited some illusory refining forces. Attending palace banquets, such as the Fusang family, the Nanmu family..."
"Okay, I understand, you can step back." Ning Fan nodded.
"Yes, this junior will retire." The young man bowed respectfully and left.
The twilight is fading, and night is coming.
Ning Fan left the Golden Palace, walked on Jishui Long Street, and walked slowly towards the Bamboo Palace.
During this period of time, he sometimes felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if some danger was gradually approaching.
He doesn't like to be involved in insignificant dangers, but in order to obtain the tree ancestor fruit, he has to stay in the East Sea of Trees...
While Ning Fan was thinking about it, the sound of bloodthirsty tiger roars suddenly came from behind him.
But I saw a tree cart pulled by four wild beasts, blood tigers, approaching from afar.
The tree car is painted with the family emblem of the Baili family. The drivers are four Baili Jingxu. The people sitting in the car are the Baili King who has just been promoted to the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace!
Seeing this blood tiger tree cart, the monks on the long street retreated one after another.
The tree cart galloped all the way, and when it came to Ning Fan's side, it suddenly stopped.
King Baili walked out of the tree car, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't say much. He waved his big sleeves violently, and countless blood lights flew from his sleeves, condensed into a jade post, and threw it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan took the jade post and glanced at it.
This is the fourth battle post given to him by King Baili!
This time, the battle post was sent by King Baili himself.
This time, the battle post is no longer a single word 'death', but three words.
'Tomorrow, die! '
In the eyes of King Baili, there is boundless murderous intent, and it seems that he will never stop until he kills Ning Fan!
But in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a trace of pain, a pleading, a reminder... That was his real expression.
From the beginning to the end, King Baili didn't say a word. After sending out the fourth battle post, he got back into the tree cart and hurried towards the Bamboo Palace.
The monks nearby who didn't know the truth noticed that King Baili was looking at Ning Fan with murderous eyes, and they all secretly guessed that King Baili and Ning Fan had a festival.
Ning Fan was standing on the long street, holding the fourth battle post, showing a brooding look.
This battle post has only three words, but it contains an important message.
tomorrow!
Ning Fan's mind was racing, tomorrow, will the Baili Clan kill him...
But if the Baili Clan really wanted to kill him, why did they specify the date so that he could prepare in advance
"Tomorrow, there will be more killers from the Baili tribe to kill me... Does King Baili want me to prepare and kill all the Baili killers?"
"His war post is not so much a show of killing intent, but a reminder of what I used... What is his intention to do this..."
"Tomorrow, the Emperor Zhu will take me and wait for the sixth-turn alchemist to enter the small forbidden area where Zu Zhu is located to diagnose Zu Zhu's illness. Could it be that the Baili tribe will do something to me there..."
"Anyway, you have to be careful tomorrow!"
Ning Fan walked all the way to the Bamboo Palace, a palace built of golden bamboo.
Outside the palace, when the guard saw Ning Fan coming with an invitation post, he immediately welcomed him into the hall and sat down.
Inside the palace, rows of palace maids dressed in veils are dancing gracefully, with a dark fragrance.
In the main hall, the Bamboo Emperor holds the chief, and below it are the seats of 11 rank six alchemists, and then the seats of the elders of the bamboo hall, and then the seats of the other rank 5 alchemists. .
With such an arrangement, it is natural to see how much the Emperor Bamboo attached great importance to the treatment of Zuzhu.
Ning Fan was not the first rank six alchemist to arrive, nor was he the last.
Before him, there were already 7 rank six alchemists, including 3 senior rank 6 alchemists, and 4 rank six middle and lower alchemists.
The four rank six mid-level and low-level alchemists were very polite to Ning Fan, and when they saw Ning Fan entering the table, they immediately stood up and saluted.
The three rank six senior alchemists looked at Ning Fan with different expressions.
Among the three, one was from Beishuhai, the tree owner of Cangshengshuhai. 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 usually higher than the top. Even Guiyuan Taixu will not put it in his eyes. Even an alchemist of the same level, he looks down on anyone.
He looked down on Ning Fan, since he didn't want to talk to Ning Fan for a while, after sizing up Ning Fan, he smiled disdainfully, looked at Xu Mi, and fell asleep.
Another rank six senior alchemist came from Dongshuhai and was the chief alchemist of the Vine Hall, named Zhu Hong.
This person looked at Ning Fan with three-point hostility. Needless to say, the reason was naturally because Ning Fan had offended the Emperor Teng.
The last person was from Nanshuhai, named Sun Yu, who was the chief alchemist of the Snow Willow Temple. This man's face was kind, and he looked at Ning Fan with a three-pointed smile.
After realizing that Ning Fan's medicine soul was one point better than him, Sun Yu immediately clenched his fists and said politely,
"Lu Dao's friendly and powerful medicine soul power is indeed the one who can shatter the ancient monument of six colors with the power of medicine soul."
"Friend Sun is joking."
Ning Fan sat next to Sun Yu, smiled politely at the latter, and clasped his fists in return.
Before he came to the banquet, he figured out the details of the six-turn alchemist in the tree world. The tree master Cangsheng and Zhu Hong didn't want to see him, so he naturally ignored them.
Sun Yu treated him politely, and he also treated him politely.
The two exchanged cups and exchanged their alchemy techniques.
The characteristic of Ning Fan Danshu is that it integrates the strengths of hundreds of schools and covers a wide range of fields.
The alchemy technique Sun Yu learned was the orthodox 'Mu Burning Dao' alchemy technique in the tree world. Although he did not study extensively, he had a deep research on the alchemy technique of the Wood Burning Dao.
The two had a chat, and they had quite a common language, and gradually they had a deep conversation.
Sun Yu thought about something and hesitated to speak, but finally decided to remind Ning Fan, and asked by voice transmission.
"Dare to ask fellow Daoist Lu, have you offended Emperor Liu..."
"Liu Huang?" Ning Fan recalled the encounter with Liu Haoyue, laughed and shook his head, and replied, "I didn't offend you."
"That's weird... Fellow Daoist didn't offend Emperor Liu, why would Emperor Liu give such an order..." Sun Yu shook his head in confusion, and then reminded Ning Fan through voice transmission,
"Daoist friend, please don't come to the South Sea of Trees in the near future... Daoist friend once angered Emperor Teng, and Emperor Teng issued a wanted order in anger. This wanted order was passed to Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu saw the wanted order. After laughing three times, he gave an order... Liu Huang ordered the Liudian monk to closely monitor the movements near the gate of the realm. Once the Taoist friend came to the South Sea of Trees, he would ask the Taoist friend to 'please come to Liudian for a while'. ... "
In the eyes of Sun Yu and other people who didn't know it, it was false that Emperor Liu asked Ning Fan to stay in the Liu Palace, and it was true that he captured and imprisoned Ning Fan in the Liu Palace.
Sun Yu naturally didn't know that Emperor Liu once had a relationship with Ning Fan and admired Ning Fan's profound enlightenment very much.
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 really just wanted to invite Ning Fan into the Liu Palace for a while, but there was no malicious intent.
"So that's the case. Thank you fellow Daoist for reminding him that Lu will not go to the South Sea of Trees in the near future. But if fellow Daoist returns to Liudian, please say hello to Emperor Liu for me, and say that Lu is involved in secular affairs. , I'm afraid it's a rare opportunity to go to the South Sea of Trees and ask him about wine."
Sun Yu reminded Ning Fan that Ning Fan was naturally grateful for his kindness.
He also pointed out to Sun Yu that he had some friendship with Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu's order was not malicious, just ordinary goodwill.
Sun Yu was slightly surprised, but did not expect that Ning Fan and Liu Huang had a little friendship.
After understanding this, Sun Yu naturally didn't worry about Ning Fan being dealt with by Nanshuhai, and strongly invited Ning Fan to go to Nanshuhai in his spare time to talk and exchange alchemy techniques.
After three rounds of drinking, the sound transmission bell in Sun Yu's storage bag suddenly rang.
The voice transmission among Yin Gui was transmitted by Sun Yu's disciples. It seemed that something had happened and Sun Yu had to rush back to Ji Shuicheng's residence to deal with it.
Sun Yu frowned slightly, and said to Ning Fan, "The disciples have some small problems with alchemy. Old Master Yang will go back to deal with it... Hey, old man take a step first, 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 with a sneer.
"The plan is about to begin..."
Not long after Sun Yu left, the palace banquet was almost over.
Tonight's banquet is only for the banquet of 11 sixth-turn alchemists.
Tomorrow dawn is the time to diagnose and treat the strange disease of zuzhu!
The alchemists also stayed for a while, and they all said goodbye and left.
Ning Fan also said goodbye and left, but after he left the banquet, Tang Xiong and his daughter also left the banquet in the seat of the Fusang family, hurriedly caught up with Ning Fan, and left with him.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
Behind Tang Xiong, Miss Tang Yuan, who was dejected, had been relieved of the technique of fixing the sky, but after suffering from the technique 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.
"The old man stopped the Daoist friend, just to apologize to the Daoist friend. The little girl is coddled and self-willed, and she does not know the importance of her actions. She has offended Daoist friends many times before, and also asks you to have a lot of Daoist friends. Don't have the same knowledge as a little girl." Tang Xiong clenched his fists and smiled. It seemed to affect the injury, and he coughed a few times.
"I'm not a little girl..." Tang Yuan raised her head weakly and retorted, and was immediately glared by Tang Xiong, not daring to speak any more.
She didn't dare to look up at Ning Fan, for fear of angering Ning Fan and being thrown into the monster's lair to fend for itself...
Ning Fan couldn't help but find it a little funny. Although this Tang Yuan acted arrogantly and willfully, he was actually just a paper tiger.
If you indulge her, she will poke her nose and admire her face, and if she is serious, she will be subdued and afraid.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, Ling Ai is just having a little quarrel with me. Lu Mou doesn't have the same knowledge as a little girl. If there is nothing wrong with Taoist fellow, Lu Mou will take a step first."
"Wait a minute! I have one more thing to do, I want to ask fellow Daoist..." Tang Xiong gritted his teeth and stopped Ning Fan again.
"What else?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"The old man wants to ask fellow Daoists to take the little girl as a concubine..." When Tang Xiong said this, his face was helpless.
"What, what! Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about, why should I be a concubine for this bastard Lu Bei!" Tang Yuan frowned in an instant, blushing like a persimmon.
"Is Taoist Tang joking with Lu?" Ning Fan also asked with a frown.
Tang Yuan is the little princess of the Fusang clan. Although her aptitude is not first-class, she is not bad.
Although the Fusang family has fallen, it is not difficult to find a Taoist companion for Tang Yuan based on the background of the Fusang family. Why would she give this girl to Ning Fan as a concubine...
If some small forces sent women to please Ning Fan, it would make sense.
A behemoth like the Fusang family, no matter how it declines, it is impossible to send a daughter for honor...
Ning Fan is very puzzled... What is the meaning of Tang Xiong's actions.
Although he didn't dislike Tang Yuan, he didn't have much affection for him. He was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Tang Xiong suddenly gritted his teeth and took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Fan, saying.
"Fusang has nowhere to go... After seeing this jade slip, fellow Taoists will know the old man's intentions."
Ning Fan took the jade slip, swept away his spiritual thoughts, and was shocked when he saw the contents.
This is the information from Beishuhai Jumang country: the old fusang demon who guarded Jumang country has fallen!
The old fusang demon had ten years to live, but a few days ago, a phantom-shattering powerhouse sneaked into Jumang and secretly fought against the old fusang demon.
This battle damaged the foundation of the old fusang demon and hurt his lifespan. He originally had ten years of life left, but the battle was exhausted...
The old hibiscus demon fell a few days ago, and after the fall, its body was taken away by people...
This news, the Fusang clan, except to tell the Emperor Zhu, kept all the news from the outside world and kept it secret.
The old fusang demon was worn out by the shattered emptiness powerhouse, and the shattered emptiness powerhouse must be the great enemy of the fusang clan.
Tang Xiong only felt that the catastrophe of the Fusang family was coming, so he made this decision and wanted to give his daughter to Ning Fan.
In Tang Xiong's impression, Ning Fan possessed an extremely terrifying suffocating aura, most likely killed the Void Shattering cultivator, and possessed the ability to protect Tang Yuan.
And after getting along with Jumangguo, Tang Xiong believed that Ning Fan was trustworthy, and there would be no problem in giving his daughter to Ning Fan to take care of him.
Tang Xiong is about to take care of the orphan. He has a hunch that the Fusang family is not far from extinction...
When the hibiscus is extinguished, it will perish, and when it is prosperous, it will decline. It is only the number of days, and it cannot be forced.
But the only thing Tang Xiong was worried about was his own daughter, who did not want her to die with Fusang.
If Tang Yuan can survive, it can be considered to keep a little blood of the Fusang family...
"What do you think, fellow Daoist, may you agree to this old man's request!" Tang Xiong sighed and closed his old eyes.
Not only Ning Fan can foresee the coming catastrophe, but everyone who is in the calamity can feel uneasy in their hearts.
The Bamboo Emperor was uneasy, and the Bamboo Palace was uneasy, but their uneasiness was only caused by the madness of Ancestral Tree.
Tang Xiong could predict that he was not far from death, and if it wasn't for his death, he would not ask Ning Fan to take in his beloved daughter.
Bang!
Tang Xiong suddenly knelt in front of Ning Fan, his old face turning blood red.
He never bowed his knees in his life, but for the sake of his daughter, he was willing to give up his dignity and kneel...
"Father!" Tang Yuan was stunned, she had never seen her father kneeling down and begging for help.
She didn't know that the Fusang family was on the verge of collapse, and she didn't know the sadness of her father's kneeling.
She was panic-stricken and at a loss, she wanted to help Tang Xiong, but couldn't.
Ning Fan's heart was shocked, and he was also touched by Tang Xiong's beloved daughter.
The cultivation world is indifferent, not focusing on family affection, but only on cultivation. Tang Xiong, as a hero, refuses to accept the heaven and the earth, but is willing to humiliate himself for his beloved daughter.
Ning Fan recalled the mother he had never met, recalled the scenes he had seen in the forest of tears, and his indifferent heart was also touched.
If you are in trouble, your mother will definitely be willing to kneel before others...
Father's love, mother's thoughts... How many monks walked out of the mountain villages, cut off the mortal world rashly, abandoned their parents, just to pursue the misty longevity.
Those old monsters who claim to have a heart like a stone and a city like a sea, are dedicated to seeking immortals, but it is difficult to obtain them.
If people can't do it, how can they be immortals!
"Fellow Daoist, please, I will take care of this matter. When I complete the entrustment of the Bamboo Emperor and heal the ancestral tree, I will take Miss Tang Yuan to leave the East Sea of Trees together, and protect her from harm for the rest of my life, it is not difficult... Until then, Miss Tang Yuan should stay by your fellow Daoist for the time being."
Ning Fan helped Tang Xiong up and squinted at Tang Yuan.
This woman is looking at him in a messy way, her eyes are extremely complicated.
Tang Yuan wanted to cry without tears, she didn't understand what happened, her father gave her to Ning Fan as a concubine.
rely on it! When she thought of marrying Ning Fan as a concubine in the future, she hated to slap her head on the tofu.
He wanted to shout a few words to Ning Fan, but he immediately thought of Ning Fan's terrifying supernatural powers, and he was a little bit angry.
When she thought of her stubborn father kneeling down for her, she felt very sour in her heart, and wanted to cry but couldn't cry.
Thinking about it again, her father gave her to Ning Fan for no reason. Could it be that Ning Fan did something wrong and forced his father to do this
It is possible, very possible! very possible!
Ning Fan is a rank 6 senior alchemist who is favored by the Bamboo Emperor and has a detached position. If he threatens the Fusang clan, most of the declining Fusang clan will have to compromise...
"Master, you are despicable! You set up a conspiracy to force me to marry me, and even if you get my people, you will not get my heart!" Tang Yuan gritted her teeth and said to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan shook his head, didn't explain anything to Tang Yuan, just reminded Tang Xiong, "I fear that something big will happen recently, if it's not necessary, don't leave Jishui City... If possible, when I leave the East Sea of Trees, I will Take all the Fusang clan away and help you escape the doom..."
...
Changdan Palace is the residence of Master Nan Shuhai Sun Yu in Jishui City.
Sun Yu received the voice transmission from his disciples and hurried back to the palace.
Fang Yi entered the palace, but saw a dozen disciples all standing in the alchemy room with empty eyes, as if they were walking dead.
A sense of crisis suddenly came from behind, and Sun Yu turned back suddenly, but saw a silver-haired old man standing behind him, his eyes were blood red, and his body was surrounded by the aura of Shattering Void, which was hidden.
"You are..." Sun Yu's eyes showed a look of alertness, and before he finished speaking, he saw that the silver-haired old man suddenly raised his fingers, and with a rush of mana, countless threads of mana that were thinner than silk scattered from between his fingers. Thousands of thin threads pierced into Sun Yu's body.
After all, Sun Yu is also a cultivator, but the moment he was pierced by this thread, the primordial spirit in his dantian dissipated immediately!
The dissipation of Yuanshen means that Sun Yu has fallen, but Sun Yu did not die, but survived in a strange state!
His eyes became blank and blank, looking at the silver-haired old man, his body suddenly fell to the ground stiffly.
"Sun...Jade...See...See...Lord...People..."
After Sun Yu knelt down strangely and surrendered, behind the silver-haired old man, another old man suddenly walked out, which was the chief alchemist of Xi Shuhai—Zhu Hong.
"Unexpectedly, this old man has been fighting with this Sun Yu for a lifetime of alchemy, but in the end, this Sun Yu has become the 'life puppet' of the elder Wan... Hehe, the strong supernatural power of the old man really makes the old man admire!" Zhu Hong said to the silver hair The old man respectfully said.
He did not dare to be disrespectful to the silver-haired old man. Although this silver-haired old man was just an old monster of the first level of Shattering the Void, he was more dangerous than the ordinary two-level and triple-level monsters!
He is Wan Changkong, the madman who washed the sea of trees with blood alone ten thousand years ago!
Even if Emperor Zhu and Emperor Liu made their own shots, they didn't catch him!
He is the most important part of the Emperor Teng's plan to destroy the Bamboo Palace. His demonic veins have a very terrifying ability, which can make the enemy directly turn into his own puppet!
Anyone whose cultivation base is lower than him cannot escape the control of his magical powers!
Even if the cultivation base is higher than his one or two levels, as long as he gives up a certain price, he can still control it!
"Hehe, ten thousand years ago, the old man entered the East Sea of Trees and buried enough chess pieces. Tomorrow, the old man will control thousands of living puppets and cooperate with the Emperor Teng, and the Bamboo Palace will be destroyed! As for the madman Lu who dared to offend the Emperor Teng. Bei, take this opportunity to kill them together!"
"After tomorrow, Emperor Bamboo will be surprised. Among his confidants, I don't know how many people are the puppets of this old man! Hehe, the old man is really looking forward to this good show of cannibalism."
