People forge swords in Lizhu, childhood sweetheart Ruan Xiu falls in love with Ning Yao

Chapter 144: The Bamboo Emperor's little plan, He Xiaoliang seeks allies

The sword energy on the field dissipated and returned to calm, leaving only Zhu Huang alone to face Chu Ci.

It’s not that Zhu Huang didn’t want to escape, but after the rest of the people in Zhengyang Mountain were defeated, the Fire God Sword and Water God Sword that Chu Ci used for defense were naturally left empty.

He was just a Nascent Soul swordsman, being targeted by two swords, so how could he have a chance to escape?

There was no point for Chu Ci to waste words with Bamboo Emperor. With a thought, he killed the rest of the Jindan sword cultivators with his Broken Sword, turned the sword tip around, and rushed straight towards Bamboo Emperor.

But at this moment, Qingniang, who was watching the battle from a distance, remembered the black-robed man from before and hurriedly reminded him:
"Sir, don't kill him yet!"

Then Qingniang ran over and told Chu Ci about the previous encounter with the man in black robe.

"Hey, there are still people here."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and the Broken Sword stopped just a fraction of a second away from Bamboo Emperor's brow. The sharp sword energy pierced Bamboo Emperor's brow, and blood oozed out.

"Tell me, who is that man in black robe?"

"If I tell it, can I survive?"

Knowing that he was powerless to resist, the Bamboo Emperor spoke calmly, without losing his composure in the face of life and death.

After all, he is a tenth-level Nascent Soul swordsman, and later in the story he even breaks through to the eleventh level, which is extremely precious in the small Aquarius State.

But who made Zhengyangshan seek death? In the original plot, Zhengyangshan offended the protagonist Chen Pingan, but now he offended Chuci.

"cannot!"

Chu Ci replied with two words very straightforwardly.

"Even if I am willing to work for the Sword Sect, it won't work?"

Zhu Huang increased his bet once again. The Sword Sect had Ruan Qiong, a twelfth-level immortal, and the promising Chu Ci. He would not lose anything by surrendering and joining. It could even be said that he made a fortune.

At the same time, the Sword Sect had just been established and was extremely short of manpower. It was at the time of recruiting talents. There was a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator who was willing to join the sect. Zhu Huang felt that there was no reason for the Sword Sect not to accept him.

This is also the main reason why he can face Chu Ci so calmly now. He feels that he will not die.

But the next moment, Bamboo King's face froze.

"Pfft!"

The Ruined Sword pierced through Bamboo King's head, and then Chu Ci waved his hand, and a small object flew from Bamboo King's body and landed in Chu Ci's palm.

"If I don't agree, are you going to destroy Zhengyang Mountain's thousand-year savings?"

Are you playing tricks under my nose? Do you really think Qi Jingchun's little fox calling is for nothing?

"Why are you?"

The Bamboo Emperor's Nascent Soul emerged, and he really didn't understand why Chu Ci was unwilling to accept him, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator of the Tenth Realm.

Even in Zhu Huang's fantasy, the Sword Sect, which had no one to use, would eventually hand over Zhengyang Mountain to himself for management. In the end, nothing changed, and Zhengyang Mountain even had an extra backer.

"Because I only feel disgust for you."

Judging from what the Bamboo Emperor did in the original plot, he used all sorts of unscrupulous means to gain power. Chu Ci didn't want the Sword Sect's morale to be corrupted.

"Okay, okay, then you will never know who the man in black robe is."

Knowing that his death was imminent, the Bamboo Emperor finally laughed uncontrollably.

Although Zhu Huang only made a guess about the specific identity of the man in black robe because the man in black robe said he had a grudge against the Sword Sect, it did not prevent him from planting a nail in Chu Ci's heart before his death.

"Is it hard to guess?"

Then, a sneer appeared on Chu Ci's lips. He didn't have many enemies left, and he remembered every one of them clearly in his heart, so as long as he compared them carefully, he could probably lock in the candidate:

"With only the tenth level of Nascent Soul cultivation, he dares to be an enemy of the Sword Sect that is now at its peak. I think it can only be Xu Hun from Qingfeng City."

First: The cultivation level of the Tenth Realm Nascent Soul, and being strong enough to discover Qing Niang's Nascent Soul. As one of the top-ranked Nascent Souls in Aquarius State, Xu Hun meets this condition.

Second: When he was in Lizhu Cave, Xu Hun's wife and children died at his hands. This was an irreconcilable feud, and Xu Hun definitely wanted revenge.

The third and most important thing is that Xu Hun’s wife is also one of the hidden hands that Tian Wan has planted in Aquarius State for thousands of years. If Tian Wan is supporting him behind the scenes, Xu Hun will naturally have the courage to become the enemy of the Sword Sect.

When the three reasons came together, Chu Ci naturally thought of Xu Hun.

Of the four major forces that had formed a feud in Lizhu Cave Heaven, Dali and Da Sui have already given in, and Zhengyang Mountain has also been almost dealt with, with only Qingfeng City left.

Finally, even if the black-robed man was not Xu Hun, he was definitely related to Tian Wan. After all, Chu Ci's current enemies, apart from Tian Wan, were Zhongtu Sword Sect and Lu Chen. Zhongtu Sword Sect had just failed, and the news had not yet been transmitted back to Zhongtu Sword Sect. The next move would definitely not be so fast.

As for Lu Chen, he is not so destitute as to choose Zhengyang Mountain as a chess piece.

So it can only be the old woman Tian Wan. Chu Ci has always been wary of Tian Wan, whom he failed to kill at the beginning. A lurking poisonous snake is the most deadly, and Chu Ci knows this very well.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether Zhu Huang says it or not. Chu Ci doesn’t think that Zhu Huang knows much. Think about how many years Tian Wan has been in Zhengyang Mountain. Has Zhengyang Mountain ever heard any news?

When Zhu Huang heard Chu Ci say the name "Xu Hun", his laughter stopped abruptly, because his guess was the same as Chu Ci's.

This is why he chose to believe the information from the man in black robe and moved overnight.

"Whoosh!"

As the white lotus fell, the Bamboo Emperor's Nascent Soul was also swallowed up, and the four natal swords returned.

Then, Chu Ci had a bunch of natal swords, golden elixirs, and nearby objects in his hands, and then they were all thrown into the eyebrow realm by Chu Ci.

As for the Dipping Sword, Chu Ci gave it a small task.

"Collect these people's heads."

"okay!"

Diandianjian responded and got busy.

"Brother, since the Xu family of Qingfeng City is seeking death, let's go and destroy him together now."

He Xiaoliang ran over and started to make another plan.

If I follow Chu Ci to Qingfeng City, I can spend more time with Chu Ci. Otherwise, our journey side by side will almost end here.

"Qingfeng City is reserved for your Daojian Sect. I will not go there."

How could Chu Ci not know He Xiaoliang's wishful thinking.

"Ah, Senior Brother, Junior Sister is only at the Eighth Level of Dragon Gate, and she doesn't have your divine power and invincibility. How can she defeat Xu Hun, a famous Tenth Level Yuanying?"

He Xiaoliang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never expected Chu Ci to be so cruel.

"Isn't Qingniang helping you?"

After Qing Niang devoured the Yin energy and martial arts luck left by the forest planter, combined with her own original golden body and luck, she became a true ninth-level warrior, whose strength was not weaker than that of a Nascent Soul at the tenth level of Qi training.

As for He Xiaoliang herself, after digesting the ancient golden elixir and completing the Dragon Gate of the Eighth Stage of Qi Refining, she no longer needed to suppress the realm. With her talent, advancement to the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages would be a natural process and would not take long.

"Qingniang, you should also meet her. Her name is He Xiaoliang. She is here to take over Zhengyang Mountain. You will work together from now on."

"Hello, Sister He. From now on, just call me Qingniang. If you need anything, just let me know."

Qing Niang kept a low profile because she thought that He Xiaoliang was the sister-in-law Cui Dongshan mentioned!
"You are too polite, sister. What do you want me to do? You have been in Zhengyang Mountain for a long time. I will have to ask you for advice in the future."

He Xiaoliang was also very enthusiastic.

He Xiaoliang, who was defeated by Ruan Xiu, realized that it was indeed a bit beyond his ability for him to fight against the alliance of Ruan Xiu, Li Liu and Ning Yao alone.

So she had to find allies.

Qingniang, who was also "exiled" to Zhengyang Mountain by Chu Ci, has great strength and potential, and is well-behaved and obedient. Isn't she the best ally?

Well, now it’s two against three, and we have to pull more people in.

Qingniang was frightened by He Xiaoliang's enthusiasm and could only respond to He Xiaoliang's words blankly.

Chu Ci, who was standing aside, looked at He Xiaoliang putting his arm around Qing Niang's shoulders and inexplicably had a bad feeling.

He Xiaoliang, the Troublemaker, isn't he planning to cause trouble to himself again?

"Master, everything has been collected!"

Diandijian came back to report, riding on a white lotus with a necklace of human heads strung along its back.

Chu Ci shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and responded:

"Okay, let's go to Zhengyang Mountain."

The purpose of collecting the heads of Zhu Huang and his men is precisely for this purpose.
