Wei Xiongjian had an impression of Xu Ning because Xu Ning had appeared at the luncheon of the Sheriff's Mansion before.
At that time, he just remembered that Xu Ning had been sitting with Cheng Zengtao all the time, and he had never asked about Xu Ning's identity.
"I have seen the Sheriff."
Seeing Wei Xiongjian staring at him, Xu Ning also responded.
"It was you who killed these two?"
Wei Xiongjian looked at Xu Ning curiously.
The previous news from the prince's side was that the strength of the two guards of the royal palace were both at the triple return to the source of the dao realm. Although they were injured during the escape, they were still at the peak of the return to the source because they held secret treasures.
But Xu Ning's strength in front of him is obviously only in the Stellar Qi Realm.
"These two people are not my hand."
Xu Ning said: "One of them became a burden because I was seriously injured, and then was killed by his companions. And the other one cut off his own heart when he was about to be captured by me."
Wei Xiongjian smiled when he heard the words, and understood the reason.
These two palace guards stole the secret treasure that the son had just asked someone to refine. Once they were caught, they would definitely end up miserable.
Suicide like this also saves a lot of pain.
"Although these two people were not killed by you, they were defeated by you."
Wei Xiongjian said: "These two people stole the prince's secret treasure and were wanted by the palace. Now you solve the two and retrieve the secret treasure. When I report to the palace later, I will definitely record your credit."
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff."
Xu Ning didn't care much about this.
"I won't be here long."
Wei Xiong said: "I have to go back first and send this news to the palace."
After finishing speaking, Wei Xiongjian directly took the corpses of the two people and left the villa.
Cheng Jinxian next to him originally wanted to stay for a while, but seeing Wei Xiongjian leave, he had no choice but to keep up.
It wasn't long before the two of them left that Shao Xun and the others rushed back.
Their speed was much slower than that of Wei Xiongjian and Cheng Jinxian.
"Where are the governor and the master of the Cheng family?"
When the three of Shao Xun returned, they found that the villa had returned to calm.
They also thought that it was Wei Xiongjian and Cheng Jinxian who arrived to finish off the enemy.
"Already gone."
Cheng Zengtao said.
"Thanks to the county guard and Patriarch Cheng, otherwise the villa would have suffered catastrophe."
Tong Li still had lingering fears.
Originally, they had expected that Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao would be seriously injured or even die, but when they saw that they were both safe and sound, they also lamented in their hearts that they moved the rescuers in time.
When Cheng Zengtao heard it, he knew that the three of them were wrong.
"Those two were all defeated by the suzerain!"
Cheng Zengtao said with a smile: "The governor and my uncle just took them away."
Hearing what Cheng Zengtao said, Shao Xun and the others seemed a little disbelieving.
But they all knew that it was impossible for Cheng Zengtao to lie about this kind of matter.
"Those two people are injured, and I have a secret treasure, so it can be considered a lucky solution."
Xu Ning explained in a calm manner.
The three looked at each other.
Before, they had expectations for Xu Ning's future, but now, Xu Ning has also proved that his real strength is already terrifying.
The three of them subconsciously raised Xu Ning's position in their hearts much higher.
Even Ou Wei, who had been a bit shy about Xu Ning's status as the suzerain before, was completely convinced at this time, and he no longer had any doubts about Xu Ning.
"Okay, don't discuss this any more."
Xu Ning said: "The sect is in turmoil tonight, and the disciples and servants of the sect must be uneasy now. Go and appease them. Those who suffer injuries or die should make follow-up compensation."
"Yes, suzerain!"
Everyone was convinced.
…
Gu Qingzhou.
Ye Wangfu.
"My lord, the guard who stole the secret treasure has been killed, and the whereabouts of the two secret treasures have also been found."
An ordinary middle-aged man reported.
In front of him was a young man wearing a brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist.
He has deep eyes, majestic demeanor, and his gestures make people feel inexplicably convinced.
This person is the eldest son of Ye Wangfu, the next successor to the throne, Duan Chaofeng.
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Duan Chaofeng only twitched his brows, and his expression didn't show much emotion.
"Whose hands did they fall into?"
Duan Chaofeng asked casually.
It seems that the recovery of the two secret treasures is not something exciting for him.
"It fell into the hands of Wei Xiongjian of Guanghe County."
The middle-aged man responded.
"Wei Xiongjian..."
Duan Chaofeng nodded slightly.
"Wei Xiongjian sent news earlier that the two secret treasures have been prepared and will be returned to the palace soon."
The middle-aged man said.
Duan Chaofeng waved his hand: "No need to send it, we'll get it."
"I was going to Gudang Mountain to have a look, and I happened to pick it up on the way. I have been in seclusion for several years, and I haven't wandered around in the fief for a long time."
"Yes, son."
The middle-aged man said respectfully.
He was about to retreat when he was stopped by Duan Chaofeng.
"By the way, is there any news about that woman Mo Lan recently?"
When Duan Chaofeng mentioned this name, his expression was not good-looking.
"Princess Molan doesn't have much news recently... She should also be concentrating on her cultivation, preparing to break through the seventh level of Dao Realm..."
When saying this, the middle-aged man carefully observed Duan Chaofeng's expression.
He knew very well that his eldest son was very disgusted with Princess Molan.
Because this Princess Molan has a hot personality, has been favored since childhood, and never considers other people's feelings when doing things.
As the princess of Luzhi Prefecture, she often crossed the border and extended her hand to Guqing Prefecture.
Although as an elder, Ye Wang turned a blind eye to Princess Mo Lan's behavior, but as a son, Duan Chaofeng was extremely disgusted with her.
"Understood, let's go down."
Duan Chaofeng stretched his eyebrows and waved his hand.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man responded and stepped back.
…
Half a month later.
Yan Luzong.
In the past half month, some changes have taken place in the Yanlu Sect.
Lord Xuhu and Qingying, in this short period of half a month, broke through to the first stage of Dao Realm by coincidence.
This made Yan Luzong's overall strength even stronger.
During this period, Xu Ning also absorbed the true source of the two attributes of water and fire again.
The true source of these two attributes was still sent by Shi Chenghao.
The business firm in Shi Chenghao's family is extremely influential and powerful in Guanghe County.
In this way, as long as Xu Ning absorbs the true source of each attribute of water and fire again, he can meet the conditions for promotion to return to the source.
At that time, with the help of Fengyan Gourd, Xu Ning will be comparable to the Grandmaster of Condensing Alchemy Realm.
This kind of strength, looking at all the sects in Wansheng Prefecture, can be regarded as reaching the qualified line of suzerain strength.
back mountain.
"Your Tidal Fist has improved tremendously."
Xu Ning commented on Cheng Xiu in front of him.
Today is another day for Xu Ning to teach Cheng Xiu the way of martial arts.
"Practice hard, at most half a month, you will be able to practice Tidal Fist to the first level."
Xu Ning said: "At that time, I will pass on the secret code of the virtual realm to you, and you can just try to break through the virtual realm."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing Xu Ning's encouragement and promise, Cheng Xiu was shocked and said quickly.
Since he became the suzerain's disciple, Cheng Xiu's position among the ten disciples has directly become the core.
Cheng Xiu cherishes this hard-won opportunity.
He worked hard day and night, and with the help of a lot of resources and the support of Xu Ning, Cheng Xiu also made rapid progress.
"Okay, go back and think about it carefully. You have to think over the points I gave you today."
Xu Ning waved his hand.
"Yes, Master."
Cheng Xiu left with hope.
"metropolitan."
After a while, Cheng Zengtao came.
"Sovereign, I heard that Prince Ye's son arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion today, and Lord Wei and all the heads of families in Guanghe County are accompanying him."
Cheng Zengtao brought news.
"The prince is here?"
Xu Ning was indeed curious about the royal family.
After all, the Duan family of the royal family is the top ruler of the entire Wansheng State.
"Should we go there too, so we can get acquainted."
Cheng Zengtao seemed a little eager: "After all, those two were defeated by you, and the secret treasure was also recaptured by you."
"It's not necessary."
Xu Ning didn't care about this: "It's just two secret treasures. Even if the prince knows that we took them back, he may not take them to heart."
Seeing that Xu Ning didn't have any thoughts, Cheng Zengtao didn't say anything more.
"Sect Master, now that you are about to break through the Return to Origin Realm, and the sect is on the right track, should we recruit more disciples?"
Cheng Zengtao changed the subject: "There are many young people of appropriate age in the nearby villages."
"Hold on."
Xu Ning vetoed: "Don't act too hastily."
"understood."
Cheng Zengtao was not discouraged when Xu Ning rejected the suggestion.
Immediately afterwards, he discussed his other ideas with Xu Ning.
Cheng Zengtao was also worried about the development of the Yanlu Sect.
…
Sheriff's Office.
After dealing with the accompanying people, Wei Xiongjian accompanied his eldest son Duan Chaofeng alone.
"My lord, this is your secret treasure."
With no one else present, Wei Xiongjian took out the green crystal and the azure crystal and handed them over with both hands.
"Are these the two secret treasures forged by Master Wei..."
Although it is his secret treasure, this is the first time Duan Chaofeng has seen it.
These two secret treasures had just been forged, and before they were delivered to Duan Chaofeng to be refined by him, they were stolen by the two palace guards.
"Thanks a lot."
Duan Chaofeng didn't drip blood directly to refine it, but put it away.
"How did those two people fall into your hands?"
Duan Chaofeng was pacing and asking casually.
Wei Xiongjian followed behind, and responded: "The two thieves who stole secret treasures seemed to be searching for resources when they were passing by, and they broke into a mountain villa in the suburbs. Master captured."
"Interesting, it's also a very coincidental coincidence that I accidentally bumped into the hands of a master above the condensed core level..."
Duan Chaofeng smiled.
Hearing this, Wei Xiongjian explained: "My lord, the one who took down the two of them was not an existence above the strength of the Condensed Alchemy Realm, but a Grandmaster of the Stellar Qi Realm."
"Grandmaster of the Gang Qi Realm?"
A look of curiosity appeared on Duan Chaofeng's face.
