If it wasn't for Zhenjun Daoyan who hated them the most, could it be someone who had been to Dongling before
The year they got married, the Lintai Hunting Valley was opened, and it happened that the Holy Martial Palace came to Dongling to look for the chosen son. At that time, many foreign practitioners sneaked into Dongling, among them were people from the Dark Palace, who wanted to destroy the Holy Martial Palace. The purpose is to hunt and kill many practitioners of Dongling.
Later, Shengwu Palace took Ning Zhezhou away, and those practitioners who sneaked into Dongling also left.
They didn't know how many people got in and how many people managed to leave.
It can be seen from this that Dong Ling is so weak, being touched into his lair, he doesn't even know how many enemies there are, so he can only watch them come and go freely and aggrievedly.
"A lot of people left at that time." Wen Qiao said, her voice was soft and cold.
Wen Tutu nodded and agreed with his sister's guess, "After we arrived in the Central Continent, my sister changed her name and surname, but Brother Ning, you didn't. As long as people who have been to Dongling before inquire, they can know the identity of the Ning family of the Tangling royal family. The name of the disciple. Besides, brother Ning's name is very similar to Ning Zhezhou, if anyone knows Ning Zhezhou, he will definitely contact Dongling."
Through their explanation, Shi Wuming has connected the cause and effect.
He asked a little puzzled: "What are the people behind the scenes doing to inquire about your news? Could it be that they want to kill you?"
Hu Shuangyan hurriedly said: "Those people said that Guiyuan Pavilion's task content does not include killing people, but only to confirm whether you are in Dongling."
"It should be to confirm whether we have returned to Dongling." Ning Yuzhou said affirmatively.
Everyone looked at him, wondering what he was thinking.
Ning Yuzhou said: "There is too little news now, all of these are possible, and there is even a possibility that it may be the people who killed the father-in-law and mother-in-law back then."
Wen Qiao was startled, a little lost.
To her, parents are just a title. After all, she had no parents when she was born. She grew up alone in those years, and she has no concept of so-called parents. Maybe it's also because her sickly body has consumed too much of her energy, making her feel flawless about why she doesn't have parents.
Suddenly a big warm hand took hers.
Wen Qiao came back to her senses and saw Ning Yuzhou's distressed eyes staring over.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly, and said, "I'm fine." Since she never owned it, she wouldn't care about losing it, and she didn't really care that she didn't have parents.
But if there is a chance, she still wants to avenge her parents, with all the parents' gratitude.
Wen Tutu said cautiously: "If it is the guy who killed my sister's parents, I will definitely help my sister get revenge."
"I will help too." Shi Wuming said hurriedly, with a distressed expression on his face, "Sister Aqiao, don't be sad, I am also an orphan, except for Master, I have no relatives in this world."
Wen Qiao's brows and eyes were stained with a smile, and said: "Then thank you."
Several people chatted for a while, and finally Ning Yuzhou said to them: "Since the other party released the mission through Guiyuan Pavilion, they probably pay close attention to us, and there will definitely be a follow-up. Wen Tutu, you stay and let the Lintai Mountain side Please pay attention to the monsters."
Foreign cultivators who want to get to Dongling have to climb Cangwu Mountain and Lintai Mountain. There are many monsters in the mountains, so they can be easily detected.
Wen Tutu immediately said: "Okay, I won't go back to the imperial city with you, I will stay here at Lintai Mountain."
Shi Wuming is a little bit embarrassed, he also wants to go to the imperial city with Wen Qiaoning Yuzhou to see where the two grew up, but he also wants to see Wen Tutu rule the Cangwu Mountain.
"Wen Gungun, come with me." Wen Tutu took the lazy Wen Gungun with him, "Forget it, brother, you and sister, let's go."
Shi Wuming felt a little uncomfortable, "Brother Wen, do you dislike me?"
"You just know?"
Shi Wuming refused immediately, and insisted on pestering Wen Tutu to make the boy change his mind and think that he is the best.
After the two left in a row, Ning Yuzhou ordered Brother Hu Shuangyan to get rid of those people.
After Hu Shuangyan got the order, he was no longer soft-hearted, and he could deal with it as he wanted.
Desperadoes like this regard human life as worthless. If they are allowed to continue to live, more people will die in the future, and it may even bring disaster to Dongling. After all, they have the ability to protect themselves, and those people can't help them. Once they escape, they will definitely blame innocent people.
Dong Ling is mostly low-level practitioners and mortals, so they don't have to be implicated because of those scumbags' desire for revenge.
—
The next day, the practitioners who participated in the Lintai Hunting Valley experience left the camp.
In the past, everyone would stay here for a few days, but since Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou returned, and other families knew the purpose of their return from the news revealed by Ning, how could they stay here? Immediately back to the family.
Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao went back in the monster car prepared by Ning.
Shi Wuming followed them in the monster car.
He looked here and there, and couldn't help but say: "The pace of this monster is a bit slow, how long will it take to get to the imperial city?"
"It's not far away, just five or six days."
Shi Wuming sat for a while, and found that the husband and wife who were nestled in the monster car and looked at the opposite side showed their affection too much, and finally ran out, Yujian flew, and disappeared in an instant because of the speed.
The group of low-level cultivators in Dongling who were riding on the backs of monsters exclaimed in amazement, and then looked at several elders who were flying with swords.
Only those who have cultivated to the Yuanwu realm can fly with the sword. Most of the cultivators present are below the Yuanwu realm, and there are not many of them, and even if they fly with the sword, the speed is not fast.
The accompanying Elder Ning couldn't help but ask Emperor Cheng Hao: "Jichen, do you know what cultivation level that young master is?"
Emperor Cheng Hao's real name is Ning Jichen, and the elders of the Ning family usually call him by his first name.
Emperor Cheng Hao said: "I didn't ask."
Elder Ning looked at him silently, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, and told him to ask his son immediately. Ning Yuzhou's position in the Ning family is so high now that, except for Emperor Cheng Hao, no one else dared to disturb him easily.
Emperor Cheng Hao also wanted to know, so he jumped off the flying sword and got into the monster car.
In the monster car, Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao sat opposite each other across a small table. Wen Qiao was holding a piece of jade slips to comprehend enlightenment, and Ning Yuzhou was drawing amulets relaxedly and comfortably, and the atmosphere between the two was warm and natural.
Emperor Cheng Hao suddenly felt uncomfortable disturbing the two of them, and suddenly understood why Shi Wuming had to run away just now.
Seeing him coming in, Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao looked up and asked, "Father, come and sit down, what's the matter?"
Wen Qiao picked up the spiritual tea on the table, poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to the father-in-law.
"I have something to ask you."
Emperor Cheng Hao sat on the other side of the small table, thanked Wen Qiao for the spirit tea, and then asked: "Xiao Qi, I don't know what cultivation level that young master is."
Ning Yuzhou glanced at him and said, "Yuan Zongjing."
"Yuanzong—" Emperor Cheng Hao was greatly frightened, and couldn't help picking up the spiritual tea on the table and swallowing it down.
Wen Qiao poured him another glass, and Emperor Cheng Hao continued to be bored.
After drinking half a pot of spiritual tea in such a boring way, Emperor Cheng Hao finally regained his composure, "Young Master, maybe you think our speed is too slow, so you should leave first?"
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou just nodded and were not worried about Shi Wuming. With Shi Wuming's cultivation level, there was nothing that could hurt him in Dongling. Since he is bored, let him wander around.
Seeing this, Emperor Cheng Hao stopped asking Shi Wuming, and asked suspiciously: "By the way, where is Wentutu? Why don't you come with us?"
Although there was embarrassment in mistaking Wen Tutu for his grandson, Emperor Cheng Hao still cared about the child brought back by his son and daughter-in-law.
Ning Yuzhou said nonchalantly: "I let him stay in Lintai Mountain and subdue all the monsters in Cangwu and Lintai Mountain."
Emperor Cheng Hao was frightened again, and stammered, "He's a child—no, what cultivation level is he now?"
His son is not the kind of unreliable person, if a child is really going to fight the monsters in Cangwu Mountain, it must be Wentutu who has this ability. Although he had never left Dongling, Emperor Cheng Hao knew that there were quite a few monsters in the depths of Lintai Mountain at the sixth or seventh level, not to mention the Cangwu Mountain at the back, which even had eighth or ninth levels.
But listening to his son's words, Wen Tutu actually let Wen Tutu subdue the monsters on Cangwu Mountain and Lintai Mountain.
"Wen Tutu is a transformation demon cultivator." Wen Qiao said, and continued to pour tea for the frightened father-in-law, letting him drink tea to calm down the panic.
Emperor Cheng Hao: "..."
Emperor Cheng Hao drank a few pots of tea before he was overwhelmed with shock, and then left with a full stomach full of tea.
Wen Qiao looked at her father-in-law's stomach, and said to Ning Yuzhou, "Father is only at the early stage of Yuanmai stage, will it hurt his stomach?"
Ning Yuzhou looked at her amusedly, "Then you just poured him so much water?"
"This is spiritual tea." Wen Qiao said, "and he looks shocked, he needs to drink tea to calm his shock."
Hearing these confident words, Ning Yuzhou laughed.
He looked at the beautiful face of the girl opposite, and said softly: "Father's cultivation should really be mentioned."
These years, they practiced in the Central Continent, and only asked Qianlin to send back some cultivation resources. With the resources he provided, Emperor Cheng Hao could cultivate to the late stage of Yuanwu Realm. There are no good exercises, no one to point them out, and it all depends on Emperor Cheng Hao's own exploration. At his current age, it is very remarkable to be able to cultivate to the Yuanmai state.
This time when Ning Yuzhou came back, he planned to stay in Dongling for a longer period of time. One was to test the talents of Dongling practitioners, and the other was to teach his father how to practice.
—
Emperor Cheng Hao didn't know that he was about to usher in the fate of his son teaching Lao Tzu to practice, so he left with a full stomach of tea, and was called over by Elder Ning.
The elder hurriedly asked: "Jichen, did you ask clearly?"
Emperor Cheng Hao nodded sullenly, and sent him a voice transmission.
In an instant, Elder Ning almost fell off the flying sword because the aura in his body didn't have time to circulate.
Seeing the elder's reaction, Emperor Cheng Hao finally felt somewhat comforted, and it turned out that he was not the only one who needed to be suppressed.
And he hasn't told the elders yet, Wen Tutu is a demon cultivator, if they knew, they would probably fall to the ground right now.
However, regarding Wen Tutu's identity, Emperor Cheng Hao did not intend to tell the Ning clan members, and let them treat them as Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao's well-intentioned children.
A few days later, the large army finally returned to the imperial city.
Wen Qiao took a look from the monster car, and found that the imperial city was still the same as it was in memory, and it hadn't changed because they left for more than ten years. In front of the tall city gate, mortals lined up to enter the city peacefully, while cultivators entered through another gate, which clearly separated the gate passage between mortals and cultivators, which was also a kind of protection for mortals.
After the large army entered the city, members of the Ning clan went straight to the palace, and the disciples of other families watched the disappearance of the Ning clan before going back to their homes.
That night, the lights in all the big and small family rooms in the imperial city were lit until dawn.
Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
As Emperor Cheng Hao's most beloved son, although he was not in Dongling these years, the Seventh Prince's Mansion was still well preserved, and it did not become deserted because of the master's absence.
When the two returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, they would have hot rice and tea, and a soft and fragrant bed. They only needed food to open their mouths and clothes to stretch out their hands.
The butler in the mansion is still the same but he is already very old.
The butler led his servants to salute the two masters excitedly, their eyes were red, as if they would cry in the next moment.
"There's no need to be too polite." Ning Yuzhou waved his hand, and a group of people couldn't kneel down.
When they were forced to stand up, everyone was even more excited, knowing that His Highness could indeed cultivate, and his cultivation level was not low, otherwise he would not be able to lift them up with a wave of his hand.
Shi Wuming, who didn't know where he went, finally came back, saw that they were eating, and sat down.
"Oh, I came back at just the right time. I didn't expect you to eat together too."
In fact, all three of them have already fasted, but most of the practitioners still eat. One is to enjoy delicious food, and the other is to produce spiritual energy without impurities. It can satisfy the appetite and cultivate, so why not do it.
The servants of the Seventh Prince's Mansion were startled when they saw him appearing suddenly.
Ning Yuzhou ordered the attendant at the side, "Give him a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"
The servants quickly brought up the bowls and chopsticks, and respectfully placed them in front of Shi Wuming.
Shi Wuming grabbed his chopsticks and ordered the food on the table while eating, quite disgusted.
Although these spiritual foods are already the best that the Ning family can produce, due to the thinness of the spiritual energy in Dongling, the spiritual power contained in the cultivated spiritual plants is not high. , naturally nothing.
Ning Yuzhou glanced at him, "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. What's the point of eating like a pig?"
Shi Wuming's mouth was very disgusted, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to eat like a pig, "If you don't eat for nothing, you will take advantage of it!"
Wen Qiao ignored him. She called the housekeeper over and asked, "Is Lian Yue married to your nephew? How is she doing now?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Miss Lianyue is very good. She lives in Wuliu Town outside the imperial city and has two sons with her husband. Do you want her to come and kowtow to you?"
When the master came back, it was normal for the former maid to kowtow to the master.
Wen Qiao said, "No, I'll go see her."
The housekeeper's face was a little surprised, Wen Qiao is no longer the sick young woman who married with a sick body, but a cultivator, who has long been distinguished from ordinary people. But she still cared so much about the servant girl who had served her, that she wanted to see her in person, which shows the position of Lian Yue in her heart.
The housekeeper secretly rejoiced that after his nephew married Lian Yue, he respected Li Yue very much, and her husband's family also treated her very well, so she didn't have any disagreements, and she was not afraid of Wen Qiao going to visit her.
After eating, they went back to the room to wash and rest.
The next day, Wen Qiao was going to see Lian Yue, and Ning Yuzhou accompanied her there.
"Actually, you don't need to go there. I'll go and see if she's doing well, and I'll be back soon." Wen Qiao said, knowing that he has a lot to do, and Ning needs him to go and have a look.
"It's okay." Ning Yuzhou smiled, "Your business is mine."
Shi Wuming originally wanted to join in the fun with the past, but when he heard this, goosebumps came out, and he bluntly said that he couldn't bear it, so he went out alone and wandered around.
The government arranged a carriage for them.
Although they can fly with swords, they are going to a town where mortals live together, so it is not easy to fly around, so as not to cause panic among mortals.
In fact, the situation in Dongling is not bad, with Ning's restraint, mortals and cultivators get along well, and it is rare for cultivators to torture and kill mortals. Although mortals respect cultivators, they will not change their faces . But in other places, where mortals live together, it often happens that mortals are massacred by practitioners, demon cultivators, or evil cultivators.
Wen Qiao sat on the carriage, looked at the passing mortals, and said to Ning Yuzhou: "Ning's doing a good job."
As a member of the Ning clan, Ning Yuzhou was naturally happy to be praised by his young wife. He held her hand and said with a smile, "This was also the original intention of the Ning clan to build the empire."
So when they leave, we must continue to arrange Dongling so that the peace here can continue.
