Ning Wufeng quietly looked at the newcomer. He was right, he did not need Zhao Ji. There was only one reason why Zhao Ji agreed so straightforwardly: he did not want to cooperate with him, he just wanted to be on the side. He might find a chance to kill him at any moment.Therefore, Ning Wufeng had the chance to stop Zhao Ji when he was killed, but he did not.
"If the Spirit Shrine finds out that you killed Zhao Ji, they will definitely punish you severely." Ning Wufeng said lightly.
"Did I kill Zhao Ji?" Lou Yuan shrugged and tossed the bloodstained sword aside. "Did you see it, sir?"
Ning Wufeng chuckled and kept the World Exterminating Spear into the s.p.a.ce talisman.
It had to be said that Lou Yuan had a promising future by being able to yield and do as he pleased.
"But why should I help you hide the truth?" Ning Wufeng laughed.
The bamboo forest around them rustled, and a withered leaf fell from the sky, landing on Ning Wufeng"s fingertip. The bamboo leaves were spinning on Ning Wufeng"s fingertips.
"Because the young master needs me." Lou Yuan said confidently.
He looked at Ning Wufeng, his expression full of fervor.
"You can help me?" Ning Wufeng asked.
"Not now, but soon." Lou Yuan said.
"So you"re the same as Zhao Ji." Ning Wufeng"s face twitched. He didn"t know when the World Exterminating Spear had appeared in his hand, but he pointed it straight at Lou Yuan.
Lou Yuan closed his eyes subconsciously, but what surprised Ning Wufeng was that he did not move a step back.
"However, you are much smarter than Zhao Ji." Ning Wufeng waved his hand, and the World Exterminating Spear disappeared.
On the other hand, Lou Yuan"s clothes were already soaked through.
It was obvious that he had his eyes on the Spiritual Array in Ning Wufeng"s hands. These Spiritual Arrays could help him break through to become a Rank 3 Spiritual Array Master. At that time, he would be able to surpa.s.s those purple clothed elders and become the Pavilion Master of the Spiritual Array Hall.
Of course, they could let the Spirit Shrine cut off all collaboration with the Wu family and fulfill Ning Wufeng"s demands.
Compared to Zhao Ji wanting to a.s.sa.s.sinate Ning Wufeng, Zhao Ji wanted to swallow him alive. Lou Yuan was undoubtedly smarter. Or rather, he was a lot luckier.
He had the same thoughts as Zhao Ji along the way to Ning Wufeng. However, after seeing Zhao Ji"s crushing defeat, the thoughts in his mind immediately changed.
Ning Wufeng was definitely not a trash of the Jiangning Estate, and he was also a roaming dragon.
Dragon-swimming shallow beach was played by shrimp, but one day, it would soar into the four seas, riding on clouds and mist.
He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Young Master, what do you think?"
Lou Yuan"s posture was respectful. From his appearance until now, he had been treated like a servant.
"How can I trust you?" Ning Wufeng said lightly.
Lou Yuan did not say anything. He tore off a piece of cloth from his body and forced a mouthful of blood out. Under his control, the b.l.o.o.d.y light turned into a blood-red brush. As the tip of his finger trembled, the Fine Blood brush quickly began to move on the cloth silk.
The Heartblood Contract.
This was the biggest contract between cultivators. The Heartblood Contract had a mysterious power. Anyone who didn"t abide by the contract would die without exception from Qi deviation.
Thus, no cultivator dared to joke around with the Contract.
Ning Wufeng revealed a slightly surprised expression as he looked at Lou Yuan handing over the blood contract. He did not expect this person to be so bold as to hand over his fate to him.
He took the contract book and nodded slightly.
"Many thanks, Young Master." Lou Yuan"s pale face showed excitement as he said this solemnly.
Previously, his greatest wish was to become a Purple Robed Elder. However, after encountering Ning Wufeng, he suddenly realised that he still had a long way to go.
"Young master, the Spirit Shrine and the Wu family have been working together for a very long time. Many people from the Wu Clan also entered the Spirit Shrine to cultivate. Moreover, many of the elders in the Spirit Shrine will receive many of the Wu Clan"s benefits every year. " Lou Yuan said.
"Therefore, cutting off the connection between the Spiritual Shrine and the Wu Clan is not that simple."
Ning Wufeng raised his eyebrows. He had also considered this before. After all, the relationship between the Spiritual Shrine and the Wu Clan had always been complicated. Therefore, he didn"t believe that Zhao Ji had agreed so readily.
"What if I must have the Spirit Shrine cut off all collaboration with the Wu Clan?" Ning Wufeng said lightly.
"I can help you become a Rank 3 Spiritual Array Master and even a Pavilion Master. If you can"t even accomplish this, we might not even have to cooperate."
Lou Yuan had already thought of this question and said, "There must be a way. There are three great pavilions in the Spirit Shrine. This sort of thing requires the consent of two of the three pavilion masters in order for the Young Master"s requirements to be fulfilled. "
"If there is a way to have any of the other pavilion masters submit to young master, then not only would young master be able to get rid of the Wu family, he would also be able to control the Spiritual Shrine." he said confidently.
Since the Spiritual Array Hall had no pavilion master, the important matters were decided by the other two pavilion masters.
As for the Pavilion Masters of the Spiritual Shrine, they were at least in the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Realm. They were even stronger than them, and they were extremely proficient in the art of absolute arts. For example, the Pavilion Master was proficient in alchemy, while the Pavilion Master was proficient in weapons refinement.
Neither of them was easy to deal with.
Ning Wufeng"s brows drooped. Moreover, there was an enormous being behind the Spiritual Shrine. If this matter were to affect their interests, then things would not be this simple.
"Is the young master worried about the power behind the Spiritual Shrine?" Lou Yuan knew how to read words. Since he had decided to follow Ning Wufeng, he told him everything he knew.
"Actually, the power behind the Jiang Ning manor is controlled by the four clans of Zhao." He said in a deep voice.
"The four clans of Zhao?" Ning Wufeng asked softly.
"There are four races in the State of Zhao that wield incredible power. If the Four Clans join hands, even the Imperial Family would have to concede. " Lou Yuan said in a low voice, "The Spiritual Shrine is backed by the Ye family of the four big families. Ye Dao is a branch of the Ye family."
"Ye Daoyi?" Ning Wufeng frowned. No wonder Ye Dao had such a high position in the Jiang Ning manor, and had even become a third rank Spiritual Array Master. So there was the Ye Family behind this.
"The second is from the Xiao family. I believe that young master should be very familiar with it." Lou Yuan looked dubious as he glanced at Ning Wufeng.
"Familiar?" Ning Wufeng was confused, but when he saw Lou Yuan"s ambiguous expression, he could not help but kick him. Lou Yuan fell to the ground with a cry. Ning Wufeng also thought of one person.
Xiao Ziyi.
"Could it be that the one behind Riverside Pavilion is the Xiao Clan?" Ning Wufeng muttered.
"That"s right." Lou Yuan patted his b.u.t.t and stood up from the ground. He said with a fawning smile, "It"s precisely the aristocratic family behind Xiao Ziyi."
"It"s just that the people of the Xiao Clan are extremely good at business, but there is a feud between the Xiao Clan and the most powerful clan on the surface of the Jiang Ning Estate, the Shi Clan. The area of influence of the Scholar clan has affected more than half of the entire SouthYue County, so they are undoubtedly the existences of the local tyrant. "
"That"s why the Situ Family has been uprooted whenever Riverside Pavilion tries to grow big."
So that"s how it was. Jiang Ning"s mansion"s Riverside Pavilion had gone through a few ups and downs, and its name had been changed countless times. But now, it seemed that it was backed by the support of the Xiao family.
Hatred was one thing, but earning money was another.
"So that"s how it is." Ning Wufeng lightly nodded his head. While he was speaking, the bamboo leaf in his hand suddenly shot out, transforming into a green arrow that pierced through countless bamboos.
"Hee hee." Big brother Ning is really good. " A charming voice came from the lush bamboo forest.
Xiao Ziyi"s fox-like figure appeared in front of the two of them with a shake of his body. She was dressed in a purple qipao and had a curvy figure. Her ample chest quivered as she walked.
Lou Yuan took a deep breath and lowered his head, afraid to look again.
Ning Wufeng frowned. His primordial spirit in his Sea of Consciousness flashed. After knowing that Xiao Ziyi was backed by one of the Four Great Families, he felt even more strongly that this woman was not simple.
"Put away your charm." Ning Wufeng said lightly.
"Yo." Xiao Ziyi chuckled lightly. While she was speaking, she had already arrived in front of Ning Wufeng. She exhaled like an orchid, her skin was creamy, and the fragrance she exuded was intoxicating.
She was on the verge of sticking to Ning Wufeng. Her white wrist wrapped around Ning Wufeng"s arm, and from time to time, her soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s would touch Ning Wufeng"s arm.
From time to time, there would be waves of softness, causing Ning Wufeng"s heart to skip a beat. He immediately put away his charming thoughts.
"What, Miss Ziyi has been listening at the side for so long. I wonder what you think?" Ning Wufeng said lightly.
The reason for the [Nine Revolutions Dark King Technique] waking him up from Xiao Ziyi"s enchantment very quickly.
"Hmph, how boring." Xiao Ziyi pouted, shaking off Ning Wufeng"s arm, and said, "Why are you like an old monk, don"t you think I look good?"
Her pretty face was full of hope as she looked at Ning Wufeng. However, Ning Wufeng"s face didn"t show any fluctuations as he waited for her reply.
"Hmph, how boring." Xiao Ziyi said in disappointment.
"Ideas? "It"s not that there"s none." Xiao Ziyi chuckled lightly, giving people a feeling as if they were seeing flowers blossoming in the spring breeze.
"But I have my own ideas." Her white fingers poked at each other, and she looked at Ning Wufeng pitifully, saying, "It"s easy to deal with the Wu family. As long as the Spirit Shrine is willing to cut off the Wu family"s connection, our Riverside Pavilion can supply them with materials."
"Moreover, even if you control the spirit shrine, the Ye Clan will still turn a blind eye to it." Xiao Ziyi giggled.
"Turn a blind eye?" Ning Wufeng looked curiously at Xiao Ziyi. Speaking of this, this kind of big family clan"s views were very serious. How could the things of the Ye Family stand being touched by others?
"Because you are Ning Wufeng." Xiao Ziyi giggled and stared at Ning Wufeng. Seeing his puzzled expression, she poked his head with her white jade fingers and scolded him, "Stupid, did you forget what he just said?"
"Ye Taoist is a member of the Ye Clan, and the person in charge of this shrine is Ye Taoist."
Ning Wufeng suddenly came to a realization. So that"s how it was.
"What about your request?" He looked at the coquettish Xiao Ziyi and said.
Xiao Zi Yi"s white jade-like fingers circled around his chest as she charmingly said: "I … want you."
