Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 420 The End of the Troubled Times
————Xuanwei City, Fei Family

Fei Nan'ao landed on the main seat with a majestic look, and couldn't help but sigh as he watched the two most honorable women in the Fei family's Sheshan Hall fighting secretly.

If I had known this earlier, I would have come back from Jun Tianqin's side later and not have to deal with such a matter for the time being, right?
Even an honest judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs, let alone one's own family affairs.

Unexpectedly, Fei Nan'an's sigh caused trouble. Anger appeared imperceptibly in Han Ningyue's beautiful eyes. She gestured to dismiss the people around her. After even she and the personal maid of the opposite Fei Liupo had left the hall, the eldest daughter of the Yukun Han family finally lost her temper.

"Fennan, why are you sighing?! I haven't been back for such a long time, and I only spoke to you a few times when I came back, and you are so impatient?!"

Granny Fei Liu glanced at Fei Nan'an and saw that the latter looked embarrassed. She smiled lightly, then picked up the spiritual tea on the low table and sipped it: "Nan'an, speak carefully, so as not to anger Ning Yue and be punished by your Yue family."

"This..." Fei Nan'ao knew that Grandma Fei Liu was fanning the flames, but he could only smile bitterly, turned around, bowed, and apologized to his wife, "Madam, please calm down. I am not impatient at all, and please don't misunderstand me."

Han Ningyue's face became even more annoyed after hearing this. She glanced at Grandma Fei Liu again before turning to Fei Nanying and saying crisply, "Do you think I'm really angry because of your impatience?"

"Ha" he had just formed a middle-grade golden elixir. Sima Fei, who was once the most famous person in Shannan Road, felt a little embarrassed when facing the questioning of his old wife. After hesitating for a while, he found it difficult to speak.

"Ning Yue, please don't make things difficult for the head of the family. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm all ears." Grandma Fei Liu placed the teacup and spoke in a calm voice.

But this time Han Ningyue did not respond to her, but continued to complain to Fei Nanying:
"If you really thought she was worthless, you shouldn't have brought her to my room to raise. I raised her from the time she was in her cradle. She was so precious that I couldn't bear to let the maids hold her for any longer.

I have spent countless efforts to raise a daughter who is as beautiful as a jade. She is dignified and respectable. Even in Gyeonggi Province, how many families can find someone who can compare to her?

As for his marriage, I spent so much effort to ask the eldest son of the Shu family. Even the elders of my Han family teased me for being an outgoing girl. I didn't know how to find a good husband for my own daughter first, but you forced me to marry into a mud-footed man's house! ! "

Han Ningyue began to cry when she spoke of this. The disdain on Grandma Fei Liu's face faded a little, but Fei Nan'ou looked embarrassed. Fortunately, he didn't have to speak for the time being, because his wife was full of resentment and hadn't expressed it yet.

The noble lady of the Han family even pointed at him angrily and asked, "Now, you, as Bo Yue, have become a golden elixir, but you can't recognize your own niece! You know that Kang is in prison and his life is in danger! You know that Shu He has been worried and crying these days!
The whole yard of Sheshan Hall is full of fake elixir-building people who would rather stay in their houses to visit prostitutes and gamble, rather than go to Jackdaw Mountain to take a look! In the end, it was still an outsider who saved the couple's lives! ! Could it be that you, an old thief, have become a heartless and ungrateful person after becoming a golden elixir and the head of the family? ! ! "

"Ning Yue!" Grandma Fei Liu's face changed color when she heard it. She knocked on the table lightly, but failed to shock Han Ning Yue.

The latter shook her head slightly and spoke again: "Sixth Grandma, I know you have made great contributions to Sheshan Hall. But this time, I'm afraid you have done something too embarrassing. Either save him or just watch him.

But he chose to stay behind, watching countless deaths of his relatives in front of him before pretending to step forward and show his gratitude.
Today, I want to ask you, you are so noble in Sheshan Hall, and you can even speak in front of the old ancestor Ye Xuan, how can you do such disgusting things as those scoundrels in Wuwei Tower? ! "

"Crack!" The low table beside Grandma Fei Liu was smashed into pieces by his palm.

How many years had it been since this old lady had been scolded like this? She was suddenly scolded and was completely unprepared. Her face turned red and white, looking extremely ugly.

Among all the women in Sheshan Hall, Han Ningyue was probably the only one who dared to speak to her like this. However, she was unable to teach him a lesson, so she could only wield her staff and shout at the master of the hall: "Fenan'ao! Do you care or not?!"

As the scene became more lively, Fei Nan's expression became much calmer. After listening to Grandma Fei Liu's question, he just said softly:
"Sixth Grandma, calm down. Ning Yue had a hysterical attack today. It was not intentional. I will come back to apologize to you later when I have taught you a lesson."

The old woman was pointed at and scolded, and she had no intention of staying any longer. After giving Han Ningyue a sidelong glance, she slowly walked out of the hall, leaning on her cane.

Only then did Fei Nan'ao dare to approach Han Ningyue and comfort her softly, "I never expected that Sixth Granny would do such a foolish thing. I thought she just wanted to give Kang Dabao a warning to calm the indignation in Sheshan Hall. Fortunately, that lazy guy was smart and knew how to make some good friends everywhere. Chu Yanran also took action, so Shu He was not hurt in the end. I..."

Seeing that his wife's eyes were already impatient at this point, Fei Nan'an immediately stopped talking about these nonsense and just responded to Han Ningyue:
"My dear wife, please calm down. I will guarantee you again that after this incident, Kang Dabao's previous contempt for Patriarch Ye will be forgotten. No one in Sheshan Hall is allowed to use this as an excuse to bring up old scores with Chongming Sect. I will also cultivate Kang Dabao well and will never sit idly by and watch him be bullied by other families again. Is that good or not?"

Han Ningyue's anger subsided a little. The beautiful woman now realized that what she said today was quite reckless. No matter how open-minded Fei Nan'ao was, he might still feel dissatisfied when he thought about it afterwards.

She was very thoughtful. After several thoughts turned over in her mind, she started to cry again and said with tears in her eyes: "I just feel sorry for my family Shuhe."

Even if one is a high-level Jindan cultivator, it is difficult to resist the tears of a beauty.

Fei Nan'an felt pity and affection for his wife. He hugged his wife's slender waist and said repeatedly, "I will never let Shu He suffer any injustice again. And Wan Qing, I will definitely do that."

This time, Sima Fei spent a lot of effort to finally appease Han Ningyue. After he tied his sash and walked out of the hall with a flushed face, and urged a few maids to come in to serve him, he saw a close bodyguard waiting outside.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, the son-in-law of the Kang family sent someone to deliver a New Year gift."

"What is it?"

"Madam's birthday is coming soon. Miss Shuhe will have to take care of her husband this year and may not be able to visit her parents to show her filial respect."

"This girl may not be so considerate," Feinan took the jade slip and scanned the names one by one, with a strange expression on his face: "Is there so many?"

It is no wonder that Fei Nanying sounded a little surprised, because the amount above was certainly not affordable for Sheshan Hall, but for a family like Chongming Sect, it was a staggering figure.

"It was sent here by the junior brother of the son-in-law of the Kang family. It seems to be a man named Ye, with a resolute appearance, and a man of one glance."

The guard quickly answered, and when he saw that Fernando was still looking at him, he continued, "I asked him about it before, and he just said that this was what the son-in-law of the Kang family got when he led people to explore the land, and he sent it here as a gift."

"Well," Feinan handed the gift list back calmly, feeling somewhat satisfied. He thought to himself, "Sixth Granny's warning is not completely ineffective."

In fact, it was impossible for Fei Nan'ao to be completely ignorant of what Grandma Fei Liu did as he said to Han Ningyue. If that were the case, he, the head of the Fei family's Sheshan Hall, would be too foolish.

It is true that he is Fei Shuhe's uncle, but since he has taken this honorable position, he must also take into account the resentment of other members of the Sheshan Hall.

The old man Ye Xu was regarded as a god by the Fei family. Kang Dabao had the courage not to pay him a visit, but he had embarrassed the entire Fei family. Although the old man Ye Xu was magnanimous, other members of the family were not so generous.

To be honest, Granny Fei Liu is considered to be someone who takes the overall situation into consideration in Sheshan Hall.

If they really let those unruly clansmen do what they want, why would they just sit back and watch the monsters become so arrogant? These yamen officials would have already taken action to wipe out the entire Chongming Sect, and there would be no need for Shu He and Han Ningyue to cry and complain in turn.

Ever since the sect elder Jun Tianqin moved into Yunjiao Province, the Fei family cultivators have been extremely ambitious and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes.

As for the provincial court, they probably thought the same.

The last time Chong Mingzong relied on Kuai En to ask the King of the South for help, he severely humiliated all the high-ranking officials from Kuang Liuting on down.

Anyway, Earl Nan'an is in seclusion and not caring about things at this time. It's good enough that these people don't harm you, Kang Dabao. How can you save them?
Therefore, if this incident could help to slightly suppress the indignation of Sheshan Hall and Yunjiaozhou Court towards Kang Dabao, it would be a good deal in Fenan's eyes.

After all, what were lost were just human lives. He and Granny Fei Liu had the same idea and felt that they were not worth much.

Fei Nan'an was worried that Kang Dabao would have trouble understanding it, but he was surprised that he was also quite clear-headed, which made him quite relieved. "Perhaps I can cultivate him well," Fei Nan'an thought to himself, "even if it's hard to make a pill."

He turned to the bodyguard and said, "These don't need to be stored in the warehouse. Ask the accountant to count them and distribute them according to each family's achievements this year. Just say, 'Madam's birthday is coming, let's borrow these Chongming local products to celebrate together.'"

The bodyguard responded quickly, but heard Fei Nan'an say again: "Go to Qi's house and find out if Young Master Changyi has gone out with his teacher. If he is still there, ask him to come to the house to see Madam. He has been in Xuanwei City for so long, and no one in the Fei family has seen this child. What kind of talk is this?!"

"Yes." The bodyguard hurried down to take care of things. Fei Nanying waved his sleeves and murmured:
"Perhaps it's time to meet that guy and see what he wants to do by reclaiming this wasteland. He must have some ulterior motive for investing so much money. Otherwise, it's not his character."

————Jackdaw Mountains

Yang, the steward of Wuwei Tower's Tengwen Mansion, dared not neglect Chu Yanran's words, and came forward to pay his respects.
Although the Fei family's Yingshan Army also did not dare to touch the latter's tiger whiskers, they were not as respectful as Yang Jue. Even if they were ridiculed, they just fled in disgrace. After all, he was just a Jindan Kun Dao with a humble background, so they, the descendants of the noble families, did not need to be afraid of him.

However, these Fei family monks did not expect that Kang Dabao not only did not bear a grudge against them for what they had done, but also sent people to catch up with the Yingshan Army's flying boat and presented the two generals with a fairly substantial gift.

Such means make people look up to him.

As for Yang Jue, Kang Dabao also expressed his gratitude.

As for Chu Yanran, this favor is much heavier. Chongming Zong may have to pay it back with many lives in the future. It cannot be repaid with just a few gifts.

Moreover, the war between the Chongming League and the beast group did not come to an abrupt end because of the death of E Yuan.

Just as Fernando expected, with his down-to-earth and pragmatic personality, how could the head of Kangda return empty-handed after being plotted against by the evil beast and losing such a huge amount of capital?

Among the disciples of the alliance who came to help, those who were seriously injured were given medical treatment and took flying boats back to the two counties for further treatment; those who were slightly injured were bandaged on the spot and retrained until they could be used.

Kang Dabao knew that it was time to rest after the fierce battle, but since he was already here and there was the senior cultivator Chu Yanran in charge, he might as well collect more spiritual soil while the army was still there.

After all, according to what Madam Qi said, the area within three thousand miles from the Jiachou military camp was actually a spiritual land that had been opened up by the Immortal Dynasty.

However, this happened more than 200 years ago when Shen Lingfeng took office as the governor of Shannan Road. Ever since this immortal who was close to the Immortal Dynasty withdrew from Yunjiaozhou with a large number of imperial troops in accordance with the imperial decree.

The Liangyi Sect enjoys the fertile lands of several states, so they have little interest in this barbarian land.

A number of weaker Jindan sects such as Hongyi Sect did try to take over one after another, but after operating for a while, the senior cultivators in these sects discovered that this was a losing business.

This is because there are spiritual veins in this 3,000-li area, but they are small and scattered, and there is not even a third-level one. As a result, the income from the disciples stationed there is not enough to pay the annual salaries of these large sects. How can this business be sustained?

In addition, the power of monsters was still quite strong at that time, and third-level monsters would come here from time to time. How could anyone below the Golden Core level survive if they encountered such a creature?

This caused this spiritual land, which once had more than a hundred military camps, to gradually return to being a paradise exclusively for monsters.

However, according to what Chu Yanran and Yang Jue said, for some unknown reason, the third-level monsters that used to appear from time to time in this area have gradually disappeared since more than a hundred years ago.

Some people said that it was because a new venerable person had emerged from the Lishan Demon Land opposite the Jackdaw Mountains and was recruiting followers. I don't know whether it is true or not.

Yuan Jin didn't care much about these secrets, and naturally took the command flag from the head brother. The true cultivators who had been fighting in the Jiachou military camp for nearly a month had to rest, either returning to their respective sects or staying in the rear to recuperate and obey orders.

After the independent cultivators have been commended for their merits, they will return to the two counties to receive their rewards. This amount of spiritual stones is not small, and Chongming Sect alone cannot afford it for the time being. It is also unknown whether the amount in the public treasury of the two counties will be enough.

For this purpose, Kang Dabao spent some spirit stones to invite a third-class deacon from Wanbao Trading Company to come and discuss business.

Because the number of monsters killed by the Chongming League in this battle was not small, but the quality was not good. Therefore, even though the number was large, it was difficult for ordinary people to pay a good price.

Wanbao Trading Company does not have this problem. They have connections in various fields in the Immortal Dynasty and have a good reputation. The goods on their shelves are dazzling, both high and low-priced, but they are still in short supply. Therefore, they are happy to find some sources of goods from new places.

In this way, most of the money was collected to be presented to the Fei family as a tribute, and as rewards and pensions to the volunteer cultivators.

As for the distribution of interests among the various families in the Chongming League and the rewards and punishments for the good deeds of Chongming Sect’s own disciples, they are not that urgent yet and have to be put aside for a while.

A few months later, Yuan Jin led his team to wipe out most of the remaining beasts, captured hundreds of rare beasts, and opened up a thousand miles of spiritual land, which was more than double the results achieved by the Chongming Alliance when Crocodile Yuan stimulated the beasts.

Just when the Chongming League had completed its spiritual land reclamation, a piece of breathtaking news was heard all over David's Immortal Dynasty:

"Nan'anbo has formed a pill!"

----

Less than a month had passed since the news of Kuang Liuting's elixir formation came out. Even the people in the Fearless Tower, who were always well-informed in Shannan Road, had not yet found out what the elixir of this nobleman, who was highly expected by the David clan, was like. Then, another incredible news came from outside Shannan Road:

"The Southern King and the Northern King came out together, and ten days ago, they led 19 battalions of imperial guards to attack the Blood Sword Sect. The Blood Sword Sect was defeated and called for help, but they were revolted by the Zang Chunzhong, which was also in the Lianghe Road.

After this battle, the current leader of the Blood Sword Sect, Yi Qiu Dao Ren, died, and his soul was destroyed. Some of the remaining members of the Blood Sword Sect were defeated and scattered, while others were trapped in an isolated battle array and would rather die than surrender.

Since then, the leader of the two rivers, which originally had three real people in charge, has only Wen Fengzi, who was seriously injured and could only escape with his Nascent Soul, left to stay in the sect formation. Moreover, according to the news from the army, even Wen Fengzi's life or death is unknown. "

"The two masters of Yuwangdao Wanbing Wuxiang City and Jiuxiao Jieming Sect withdrew the protective formation of Linhai and went to the outer sea to pay homage to the Palace Master Lanmeng."

"Among the only three remaining independent cultivators in the world, two have already accepted the invitation of the Lord and gone to the Imperial Palace for a while."

"The Liangxi demon tribe has stopped attacking and has retreated to their demon land. The border troops have been able to recapture the Sulong Fortress, but they are still short of cultivators. I heard that Prime Minister Gui is about to send all the prisoners in the world to the border to garrison."

"The two masters of the Dragon and Tiger Sect and Taiyi Temple of the Taoist sect agreed to travel together and entered the Imperial Palace five days ago to ask for an audience with the Emperor. It is said that the Emperor did not allow them to see him because he knew they were here to plead for the evil sect of the Blood Sword Sect."

Normally, with the news coming in, there is no need to elaborate on the quality of Kuang Liuting's elixir. However, among the thirty-three Yuanying forces in the David Immortal Dynasty, there are always people who are lucky.

Ten days later, Yueyin Zhenren from Wumu Mountain on Shanbei Road paid a visit to the owner of Zhaixing Tower and got his request approved.

As soon as the former entered Xuanwei City, the immortal summoned out the Chilong Jade Sedan. After he and the spirited Kuang Liuting got on the sedan, those who had insight in the scene could see clearly that the jade sedan was heading towards the open sea.

From then on, the whole world was shocked and the chaotic times finally began.
