4155: C4155 Evil Guest Is Here

C4155 Evil Guest Is Here

Evil guest at the door.

"City Lord Zhou?"

Qiu Yuanqi saw that City Lord Zhou was deep in thought and reminded him with a smile.

"Ah, oh..."

City Lord Zhou reacted, and a trace of a coy smile appeared on his face. He said to the few of them, "Everyone, I indeed do not know much about this Zifu. I only know that it is a merchant family, and that they have been in business for generations. Furthermore, the Zifu should be a branch of the Jing City's Zi family.

A while ago, many people in the Zi Government had died, and all of them had died. It was said that the Zi Government's young lady, Zi Yun Tian, was a lone star, and she had forcefully suppressed her own family. Even a few of her husbands had died, and all of them had just married into the family and died.

Only a few days ago, a Ning family son-in-law married into the Zi Government, but during this period of time, no news of his death spread. There were even more rumors that the Ning family's son-in-law was starting to concoct pills and was attempting to cultivate."

City Lord Zhou finished speaking in one breath, and paused for a moment. He then voiced his guess. "Not long ago, dozens of people from the Black Tiger Gang had died in this place. His death was extremely miserable, and my subordinate, Lih Hu, suspected that it was that son-in-law Ning who did it. However, not long after that, Lih Hu was sent to jail by Shangguan, who was in the Six Fans Gate."

Opening the furnace to concoct pills?

Dongfang Lingtian and Qiu Yuanqi looked at each other and saw a trace of a smile in each other's eyes. If that was the case, there was nothing wrong with it.

Chen Xiaoran said that the Zifu had Qi Blood Ointment, which could allow one to become a martial arts expert overnight, and corroborate with the rumors in the market. It was likely that the Zifu really did have such a wondrous item.

Apart from that, they also determined that the foundation of the Zifu should be that of an ordinary merchant's family. The source of martial arts definitely came from that Young Master Ning.

Otherwise, if the others were all killed by the Lone Star, then what right did that Young Master Ning have to be safe and sound?

"City Lord Zhou, how much do you know about that Ning family's Young Master?"

Dongfang Lingtian smiled and said.

"It really is him!"

City Lord Zhou sucked in a breath of cold air in his heart. At this moment, he was sure that these two Peak Experts had come together for Ning Qi.

In this way, what Lih Hu had told him earlier was not baseless.

"Speaking of which, this Young Master Ning could be considered a disciple of Ning's Mansion. Oh, it's the Ning family that was executed because of a great crime of rebellion."

City Lord Zhou said slowly. Speaking of Ning family, he seemed to have some taboo and didn't want to talk about it.

"So it's the Ning family!"

Dongfang Lingtian and Qiu Yuanqi looked at each other. Even Chen Xiaoran, who was standing beside them, was a little shocked. Even the people of the Ning family had heard of the Ning family. After all, in all these years, in the major cases that had happened in the Imperial Court... The Ning family's conspiracy could be considered as one.

When the entire family had been executed, hundreds of heads had fallen to the ground. Among them, there were three Great Scholars and the various city lords. There were several governors in the province, and the patriarch of the Ning family was still a powerful figure in the Imperial Court. The Green Robed Prime Minister, who had absolute authority other than the Emperor!

Although the Ning family was not a martial family, the Ning family was so powerful that even the top martial families did not dare to touch their bad luck!

"Could it be that some of the martial artists who joined the Ning family at that time passed down some martial arts inheritances, which is why the disciples of the branch families in Ning's Mansion are able to practice martial arts?"

The faces of the two kept flashing in their minds.

At that time, the Ning family was so powerful that even the Peak Expert had joined their sect. They felt that perhaps it was these Peak Experts that had passed down their own inheritances of martial arts.

However...

Ning Qi was too young. It was unheard of for him to cultivate to the pinnacle at such a young age.

"The two of you have come to my Jiangyin City specifically for the sake of the Zifu?"

City Lord Zhou asked in a probing manner.

Dongfang Lingtian smiled and shook his head. "Not for the Zifu, but for the son-in-law of the Zifu."

"There's no time to lose. Let's pay a visit today."

Qiu Yuanqi said.

"City Lord Zhou, would you like to accompany us on this trip to see the background of the Zifu?"

Dongfang Lingtian said with a smile.

"I have nothing else to do. I will accompany the two of you on this trip."

City Lord Zhou nodded. In his heart, he also wanted to see what kind of person that Zifu Ning's son-in-law was.

Chen Xiaoran was somewhat excited in his heart. Last time, Ning Qi had beaten him into the Chen family. Now, it was these two Peak Experts who had paid a visit to the Zifu Palace together. He believed that even if they were Peak Expert, they wouldn't be able to be arrogant anymore.

...

The Zifu Palace.

"What kind of sword is Young Master practicing? Why is it so slow? Can it stab someone to death?"

Ruyun and Xiaolan stood in the corner of the courtyard and looked curiously at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi held an ordinary Long Sword in his hand and waved it at a very slow speed. After about two hours, Ning Qi stopped what he was doing and white smoke rose from the top of his head like a bun that had just come out of a cage.

"I don't know if this is the real world or the Illusion, but even the Emotion Extinguishing Sword Technique has been taken away from me."

Ning Qi looked at the sword in his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile.

However, the only consolation was that this place had taken away his cultivation base, but not his mental state.

The Emotion Extinguishing Sword Technique was based on the state of mind, regardless of cultivation base or level.

"I wonder if this sword will be able to kill those two from that day."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Son-in-law, what sword technique did you practice just now?"

Ruyun saw that Ning Qi had finished his sword dance and went forward to ask curiously.

No matter what, she was still a second-rate martial artist now, but she could not see through the skill of Ning Qi's sword just now.

"It's just the most ordinary sword technique. It has no background."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Young Master, Miss asked you to go to the living room. She said that the City Lord is here, and there are a few old men. They seem to have come with ill intentions."

A servant whispered a few words into Xiaolan's ear. After that, Xiaolan walked in front of Ning Qi and said in a low voice.

"Old man? I'm afraid Chen Xiaoran invited a backer over."

Ning Qi smiled, "Let's go and take a look."

In the guest hall of the Zifu Palace.

When Zi Yunyi heard that City Lord Zhou had personally come to pay a visit, he treated him with the highest standard. In the corner of the guest hall stood many servants of the Zifu Palace. As long as the tea in front of City Lord Zhou was slightly less, when the tea cooled down a little, someone immediately went forward to add it.0

"City Lord Zhou, may I know who these people are?"

Zi Yun sat on the main seat. Her skin was crystal clear, white and red, and she had a dignified expression. She glanced at Dongfang Lingtian and the others and gently opened her red lips.

"These two seniors are not simple."

City Lord Zhou smiled and pointed at Dongfang Lingtian. "This is the patriarch of Dongfang family, Dongfang Lingtian. He is a martial arts expert."

He looked at Qiu Yuanqi and said, "This is Senior Qiu Yuanqi, the Sect Leader of Righteous One Sword Sect. He is also a martial arts warrior in the martial world."

Martial arts warrior?

That was the Peak Expert?

Zi Yun's eyes moved slightly. Although she was a little surprised in her heart, her expression did not reveal it. She smiled, "That is truly a rare guest. May I know why the two of you have come?"

"Today, I have actually come here to be a lobbyist for Brother Elder Chen."

Dongfang Lingtian smiled. The Elder Chen he was talking about was naturally Chen Xiaoran, who was standing behind the two of them.

"Oh?"

Zi Yun cast a glance at Chen Xiaoran, "It can't be that the Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Xiaoran, who has darkened his conscience and wants to steal my Zifu Spiritual Medicine, right?"

When Chen Xiaoran heard this, his face instantly turned incomparably livid.
