I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 613 Shangcang Family
Taiyi Academy!

Chu Ning didn't stay in Tang Ruowei's yard for too long.

After making sure that Tang Ruowei was safe, he left Taiyi Academy.

Although the mysterious "Shangcang" family will not enter the academy to attack Taiyi Academy, it does not mean that Tang Ruowei has not been exposed. He came to visit Tang Ruowei as Ji Yang, a disciple of the Holy Palace. If the time is short, it will not arouse suspicion, but if the time is long, I am afraid he will be targeted.

Tang Ruowei didn't know much information. After instructing Tang Ruowei not to walk out of the gate of Taiyi Academy at will, he left the academy and went straight towards the Zhongzhou Palace.

"Meet the Sixth Prince?"

The Zhongzhou Palace was not like the Taiyi Academy, which was only guarded by an old gatekeeper. In front of the gate of the entire palace, there was a team of soldiers guarding it. There were more than a hundred of them, all of whom were cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even in the Cang Tian Realm, only the royal family of Zhongzhou has the courage to let Nascent Soul cultivators guard the gate like ordinary soldiers.

In fact, all cultivators knew that no one dared to break into the palace. If there was a strong man who dared to break in, these Nascent Soul soldiers would not be able to defend it at all. The royal family made such an unnecessary arrangement not to show off their military power, but because they were the royal family and the masters of Zhongzhou.

"It has something to do with the emperor's luck."

Chu Ning sighed, the royal fortune is different from other fortunes. If you want to have the royal fortune, you must have the royal power. The guards at the city gates are one of the royal powers.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not look very wary when they looked at Chu Ning. A powerful man in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was not someone they could deal with. Moreover, they knew more clearly that they were standing at the gate of the palace not really responsible for guarding the gate, but more to show their royal attitude.

Among their team of one hundred people, the longest lifespan is less than five hundred years, but they are already in the late Nascent Soul stage, and each of them is only one step away from the Divine Transformation stage. This is the foundation of the royal family.

When Chu Ning stood at the gate of the imperial palace, he felt that there were many spiritual senses spying on him. These spiritual senses came from within the palace walls as well as from outside the walls. Most of them were powerful gods.

Chu Ning did not extend his spiritual sense into the palace walls. As for the Zhongzhou Imperial Palace, even the spiritual sense of a Dongxu strongman could enter in the same way. This was similar to the courtyard of the Taiyi Academy.

Chu Ning didn't care about the spiritual sense spying in the palace, but he was not so easy to deal with the spiritual sense spying around him. He also spread out his spiritual sense and collided with these prying spiritual senses without hesitation.

snort!
In several places not far from the city gate, several people groaned, their faces turned pale, and there was horror in their eyes.

These people were all in the late stage of Spirit Transformation. They did not expect the other party's spiritual consciousness to be so powerful. Just the contact dealt them heavy damage. If the spiritual consciousness had not been cut off quickly, they would have been injured even more seriously.

What shocked them even more was that this man was so domineering. They only used their spiritual sense to spy on him, but he immediately launched a counterattack. Wasn't he afraid of incurring public anger?
Chu Ning naturally wouldn't care about these things. He was a genius of the Holy Palace, and a new genius at that. So he naturally had the arrogance of a genius. If he remained indifferent when being spied on by others' spiritual sense, it would be inconsistent with his personality.

A quarter of an hour later, the city gate opened and Wanyan Rui walked out.

Seeing the forced smile on Wanyan Rui's face, Chu Ning knew that this guy did it on purpose. He was not a mortal royal family. After he introduced himself, Wanyan Rui in the palace had already learned the news and could reach the palace gate in a few breaths. He deliberately made him wait outside for so long.

"Brother Wanyan!"

Chu Ning smiled brightly, and Wan Yanrui's mouth twitched: "Friend Ji."

To be honest, Wanyan Rui didn't expect that Ji Yang would actually come to Zhongzhou, and come so soon, and he was really shameless enough to visit him.

Doesn't he know that he blocked me in the Holy Academy? Even if I don't resent him for that, we can't be friends.

"When we parted at the Holy Academy, I missed Brother Wanyan very much. As soon as I entered the Imperial City, I came to find Brother Wanyan."

Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Wanyan Rui's face suddenly darkened. He had just met Yan Heng and knew that Ji Yang had come to the imperial city, but he knew even more clearly that Ji Yang went to Taiyi Academy first and then came here.

What happened? Did he run into trouble at Taiyi Academy? Tang Sining ignored him and only thought of coming to the palace after he got himself into trouble.

Chu Ning didn't stay in Taiyi Academy for long. In Wanyan Rui's opinion, Tang Sining couldn't refuse Ji Yang because of his status as a disciple of the Holy Palace, but he thought it was just a courtesy meeting and then he would find an excuse to leave.

Otherwise, with Ji Yang's shamelessness, he would probably stay in Taiyi Academy and not come out.

However, Wan Yanrui was a prince after all, so he had to maintain his demeanor. He did not expose Chu Ning and said calmly, "Friend Ji, please follow me."

Wanyan Rui brought Chu Ning into the palace. The Zhongzhou Palace was huge and magnificent, but Wanyan Rui did not have the leisure to take Ji Yang to visit the palace. Instead, he took him directly to the palace that belonged to him.

The Sixth Prince's Palace.

Chu Ning met Yan Heng in the palace.

"Friend Ji, we meet again."

This time, Yan Heng took the initiative to greet Chu Ning. After meeting Ji Yang in the imperial city, Ji Yang once said that he wanted to discuss an important matter with him and Brother Wanyan, so he waited for Ji Yang to arrive at Wanyan Rui's place.

"Since you are here, Old Yan, I will get straight to the point."

Chu Ning looked at Wan Yan Rui and Yan Heng and said, "I came to the Imperial City this time because of your request to invite you two to Piao Miao Sect."

"Piaomiao Sect?"

Yan Heng was stunned: "Is there anything I can do for you, Daoist Friend Yu?"

"Fellow Daoist Yu discovered a secret place..."

Chu Ning did not hide anything about the Yun family's secret realm and repeated Yu Jingqiu's words. There was nothing to hide about such things. Since Yu Jingqiu had made an appointment with Wanyan Rui and others, he would inform them of all the information when the time came.

"I have indeed heard about the Yun family's treasure house, but I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yu actually discovered it."

Yan Heng's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something. He said with emotion, "What a coincidence. Just as someone from the small world who was related to the Yun family appeared, the Yun family treasure house appeared immediately."

Hearing Yan Heng's words, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Old Yan, what do you mean by this? Why don't I understand?"

"Didn't I and two other Taoist friends chase someone in the Imperial City earlier? This person came from a special small world. The reason why the Yun family was destroyed was because a strong man in the Yun family had a connection with this small world, which led to the disaster of genocide."

Chu Ning asked, "Is it related to the force behind the wanted order?"

"Originally I wanted to keep it a secret, but since we are talking about the Yun family treasure house, Fellow Daoist Ji will know about it soon, so I have nothing to hide."

"Ah."

Yan Heng nodded and looked at Wanyan Rui: "Speaking of which, the power behind the Heavenly Wanted Order is somewhat related to Brother Wanyan's family. Let Brother Wanyan explain it more clearly."

Wanyan Rui did not keep the secret on purpose. He was indeed interested in the Yun family treasure house. According to the information Ji Yang told him, Yu Jingqiu said that there was a sea of ​​thunder in that secret realm. He had seen Ji Yang's ability to resist thunder with his own eyes. At that time, they would have to cooperate, so there was no need to be hostile to Ji Yang.

The most important thing is that Ji Yang left Taiyi Academy not long after he arrived, so he could not pose a threat to him.

"There is only one family in the entire Cangtian Realm that can issue a world-wide wanted order, and that is the Shangcang Family."

"More than 100,000 years ago, a cultivator from a small world entered the Cangtian Realm. This small world was different from other small worlds. There were dozens of Void-level masters alone. Although there were no Cangtian-level cultivators, this strength was so great that no other force could compete with it except for those with Cangtian-level masters."

"Just because of this, the Shangcang family issued a wanted order for the cultivators in this small world?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

"Of course not." Wan Yan Rui shook his head: "The most important thing is that this force had disputes with several forces in the Cangtian Realm, and also destroyed two sects. This attracted the Shangcang family to take action and issued a Shangcang wanted order for the cultivators of that small world. However, the cultivators of that small world were very smart and immediately fled back to their own small world. But the Yun family was not so lucky. The Yun family's foundation was in the Cangtian Realm, and an ancestor of the Yun family colluded with the cultivators of that small world, so the Shangcang family took action to destroy the Yun family."

There was a look of surprise on Chu Ning's face, but he was not shocked at all in his heart. These were similar to what he knew. The predecessors in the Northern Territory did indeed destroy several forces in the Cang Tian Realm, and then were hunted down by Cang Tian-level strongmen and retreated back to the Ninth Realm.

"Brother Wanyan, I am still a little confused. The cultivators in that small world destroyed other forces. What does that have to do with the Shangcang family? Could it be that the destroyed forces are related to the Shangcang family?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter?" Chu Ning frowned: "Then what is the reason why the Shangcang family took action?" "It is the responsibility of the Shangcang family to protect the Cangtian world." Yan Heng added.

Chu Ning stood in awe: "Is this Shangcang family the guardian of the Heaven Realm?"

"What kind of guardians are they? They are just self-appointed. When did the Heaven Realm need them to protect it?"

There was disdain in Wanyan Rui's eyes, and Chu Ning's expression was even more confused: "Old Yan, Brother Wanyan, what you said makes me even more confused."

"The reason why the Shangcang family can call themselves Shangcang is because they are the first Cangtian-level strongman in the Cangtian Realm. It is also because of this that the Cangtian Realm has become the center of many small worlds. Since the ancestor of the Shangcang family, the laws of the heaven in the Cangtian Realm have been complete. It is also because of this that the cultivators of the entire Cangtian Realm can be said to owe a cause and effect to the Shangcang family."

When Wan Yanrui talked about the Shangcang family, there was not much respect in his words: "The Shangcang family relied on this achievement and regarded themselves as the master of the heavens. A descendant who is only in the Spiritualization Stage, walking in the Heaven Realm, must be personally greeted by the leaders of various forces."

Wanyan Rui had no good feelings towards the Shangcang family. That was because more than sixty years ago, a powerful man in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm from the Shangcang family came to the imperial palace and asked his father to receive him in person. He was dissatisfied when his father did not show up, which he could not tolerate.

No matter how much contribution the Shangcang Family made to the Cangtian Realm, that was countless years ago. In recognition of the merits of your ancestors, major forces gave you face and treated you as distinguished guests, but this is not a reason for the Shangcang Family to call themselves the Lord of the Cangtian, not to mention that a Divine Transformation cultivator wants to be personally received by a Cangtian-level powerhouse.

After listening to Wan Yanrui's words, Chu Ning had a general understanding of the Shangcang family.

The Shangcang family has made great contributions to the entire Cangtian world, because it was the ancestor of the Shangcang family who first opened up the path to break through to the Dongxu realm, which led to the birth of the later Cangtian-level powerhouses.

This achievement was absolutely enormous, and it reminded him of the Kong family in his previous life. No matter how the dynasties changed, as long as the family was still dominated by scholars, the status of the Kong family would remain there, and all ruling classes would have to give them face.

To some extent, the contribution of the Shangcang family to the monks is greater than that of the Kong family. Taking the West in the previous life as an example, Washington was the first president of the United States, and the United States would support this family no matter what.

Of course, if such families want to be decent, they must also have self-knowledge and cannot rely on the achievements of their ancestors to be arrogant. Obviously, this is the case with the Shangcang family. Because of the existence of this achievement, they do not respect other forces in the Cangtian world. It is no wonder that Wanyan Rui is so disdainful of the Shangcang family.

Our ancestors are powerful and giving face to them does not mean we have to give face to you.

“It seems that although the Shangcang family is a little arrogant, they are also responsible to the Cangtian Realm and are willing to avenge the forces destroyed by the small world.” Chu Ning said with a smile.

"Ah!"

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Wan Yan Rui chuckled again: "I'm afraid there are other unknown inside stories about what happened back then, but our realm is still too low to know."

Wan Yanrui said this because when he first learned about this, he asked his father about it. His father smiled meaningfully at him and replied, "The Shangcang family is not simply seeking revenge for the destroyed forces."

"Brother Wanyan, the affairs of the Shangcang family have nothing to do with us. The three of us should discuss the matter of the Yun family's treasure house."

Yan Heng did not let Wanyan Rui continue this topic. Not many people in the entire Cangtian Realm knew about the Shangcang Family. Apart from the Dongxu powerhouses, only the talented disciples from the top forces like them were qualified to know so much.

"The cultivators from the Guiyi Realm have appeared in the Cangtian Realm again, and clues have been leaked from the Yun Family's treasure house. Who can be sure that there is no connection between the two?"

There was a gleam in Wanyan Rui's eyes, and his words made Yan Heng fall into deep thought. Chu Ning looked at the expressions of the two men, but he knew in his heart that they were thinking too much this time.

The clues to the Yun family treasure house and the traces of the Saint Master and others revealed that the two had no connection at all, it was purely a coincidence.

"I'm here to bring a message on behalf of Fellow Daoist Yu. Old Yan, do you want to get involved? Think carefully before making a decision."

"Don't think about it, you must participate."

Wanyan Rui spoke immediately after Chu Ning finished speaking, and Yan Heng had the same attitude. The Yun family treasure house was extremely attractive to them.

"As for the remaining few people, I will notify them."

Yan Heng spoke up, and the list of invited monks that Yu Jingqiu gave to Ji Yang this time included not only Yan Heng and Wanyan Rui, but also several other people. And when it came to contacting these people, Yan Heng was more convenient than Chu Ning.

"Thank you for your hard work, Old Yan."

……

……

Yan Heng left the palace, and Chu Ning did not stay in the palace either. It was not that Wanyan Rui did not allow Chu Ning to live in the palace. As a genius disciple of the Holy Palace, when Chu Ning arrived at the palace, the royal family would definitely receive him and arrange accommodation for him. He did not live in the palace because he still wanted to find out more about the whereabouts of the Shangcang Organization and the Holy Master predecessors.

Unfortunately, during the one month he spent in the Imperial City, he was unable to find out any news about the Saint Master and others, or about Heaven.

The most important thing is that he cannot inquire openly, but has to search for information in a roundabout way without arousing suspicion, which is not an easy task.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, now that everyone is here, we can set off to Piao Miao Sect."

Just when Chu Ning was thinking about whether there were any better ways, Yan Heng came to him.

"Old Yan, have you notified everyone so quickly?"

"Well, everyone is already in the palace."

"Then we'll set off tomorrow."

Chu Ning nodded, and after watching Yan Heng leave, there was helplessness on his face. The Cangtian Realm was not the Northern Territory, he did not have the help of the Sihai Trading Company, and he had no channels to learn some of the higher-level information.

……

……

In the north, I miss Tangshan.

Yun Shanchang came to Nian Tangshan again.

It was still Chu Ning’s invitation.

Since he couldn't get detailed information about the Shangcang family in the Cangtian Realm, he could only come back to ask Senior Yun for help.

With the strength of Senior Yun’s ancestor, he should know about the existence of the Shangcang Family.

Yun Shanchang's brows were also furrowed at this moment. He knew from the jade slips left by his ancestors that there was such a Shangcang family in the Cangtian Realm.

"The Shangcang family is not weak, but they cannot be compared with their ancestors. There must be some strong people at the Cangtian level. We must not underestimate the Shangcang family."

As if he was afraid that Chu Ning would underestimate the enemy, Yun Shanchang explained: "Just like the Holy Palace you are in, there is a saying in the Cangtian Realm that the Holy Palace has declined, but this decline is compared to its most glorious time. Who dares to say that the Holy Palace is not strong enough?"

Last time, Chu Ning introduced the situation of the Holy Palace to Yun Shanchang, and Yun Shanchang used the Holy Palace as an example. Chu Ning nodded and said, "Senior is right. The ancestors of the Shangcang family were too powerful, making the cultivators of the entire Cangtian world look up to them. The current Shangcang family just can't return to the level of their ancestors, but it is still a behemoth."

Come to think of it, if the Shangcang family did not have a strong man of the Cangtian level in charge, would the family members really dare to look down on the major forces like this based on the glory of their ancestors?
"This matter is of great importance..."

Rumble!
Before Yun Shanchang finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of thunder from deep in the sky.

When the thunder sounded, Chu Ning and Yun Shanchang's faces changed almost at the same time, and Yun Shanchang's figure disappeared from the spot.

After a cup of tea, the sound of thunder dissipated, and Yun Shanchang's figure returned to the top of the mountain, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"The Shangcang family has already started taking action!"
