Chapter 364 Big Secret

"I won't stay in this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands for too long. After I leave, the two of them will probably hold a grudge against you."

Chu Ning looked at Cheng Xinxin and spoke slowly.

At this time, everyone knew why Chu Ning wanted to kill.

"Thank you, sir." Cheng Xinxin looked grateful.

And the little girl Su Keke kept nodding her head, and then asked curiously:

"Mr. Chu, what is your current cultivation level? Grandma said that both of them are in the middle stage of foundation building.

Before coming here, I specifically told us not to provoke these two people.

I don't think they are very good, and they can't take a move from you."

After the little girl said this, Cheng Xinxin didn't say anything, but the middle-aged male cultivator next to her immediately scolded:

"Keke, don't be rude."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Ning smiled at this time and looked at Su Keke.

"You are more lively than your grandmother was back then. I am now in the late Jindan stage."

"Late Jindan stage!" Chu Ning's words immediately caused several people to exclaim.

They naturally knew that Chu Ning was a Jindan cultivator, but they did not expect that Chu Ning was already in the late Jindan stage.

Cheng Xinxin and Su Keke were fine, but the other beautiful female cultivator and the male cultivator suddenly became more restrained.

Chu Ning's eyes swept over several people at this moment, and then fell on the tombstone, and asked Cheng Xinxin:

"These people are your family members, right? What's going on?"

Hearing Chu Ning's question, Cheng Xinxin immediately said:

"Sir, they are my daughter and son-in-law."

Cheng Xinxin seemed to be in a hurry to talk about what happened in the past, and she didn't even have time to introduce their names before she continued talking.

"Back then, the Thousand Islands Alliance summoned you foundation-building cultivators in the name of the Thousand Islands Competition. After you left, we were waiting in this cave.

But a few days later, news came out that the Yin Demon Sect had come to the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands to set up a large formation.

All the foundation-building cultivators in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands were caught in one fell swoop.

After hearing the news, my grandfather and I went out to inquire about the news. Who knew that we were trapped on the island and could not go out as soon as we arrived at the Thousand Illusion Island.

It was not until a year later that the Yin Demon Sect withdrew and we came to Feihong Island again.

But at that time, we found that the formation here had been broken and the cave was destroyed."

Cheng Xinxin said this with a hint of emotional fluctuations in her tone.

"And during this year, we did find out that hundreds of foundation-building cultivators were killed on Qianhuan Island.

We all guessed that the young master might have had an accident, and he was missing. We didn't even have your clothes and other things.

So grandpa buried the talisman you gave me before and set up such a tombstone.

I didn't expect that you were still alive and had become a late Jindan cultivator."

After hearing Cheng Xinxin say this, Chu Ning continued:

"I did escape by luck that year, but I was also hunted down by the Jindan cultivators of the Yin Demon Sect, so I found a place to hide for three months.

This cave was not destroyed by others. I came back and took away these spiritual plants and the tools for setting up the formation.

When I returned to the cave, I didn't see you, and I didn't know where you went, so I couldn't even send a message."

Chu Ning recalled the events of eighty years ago and sighed.

That year, he also wanted to find the owner of Feihong Island, Jiang Hongguang, to leave a letter.

But at that time, the power of Yin Mo Zong was spread all over thousands of lakes and islands, so Chu Ning just thought about it and gave up.

But even so, when he left, he still encountered Yin Mo Zong monks.

Chu Ning was even chased by the Yin Mo Zong Jindan monk, and he had time to activate the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman when he was about to teleport away.

These things flashed through Chu Ning's mind at this moment, and Chu Ning immediately asked Cheng Xinxin:

"By the way, where is old man Cheng?"

"Grandpa never broke through to the foundation building stage, and he passed away after the deadline." Cheng Xinxin said with a little sadness at this moment.

Chu Ning sighed after hearing this, which was not surprising.

When old man Cheng followed him, he was not young.

"Then how did you get through these years?"

Chu Ning looked at a few people again. Only Cheng Xinxin was at the foundation building stage. Among her descendants, the highest cultivation level was her son-in-law, who only had the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It seems that life is not so satisfactory.

Sure enough, Cheng Xinxin continued:

"After the Yin Demon Sect left, the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands were in chaos, and later there were foundation-building cultivators from other places.

My grandfather and I were not very skilled at that time, so naturally we could not get any good resources.

We just wandered around the islands."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"Why don't you return to Yanfeng to practice? The spiritual energy of the hidden spirit vein here is also good."

"This hidden spirit vein was occupied by a foundation-building cultivator not long after the chaos.

Later, the foundation-building cultivator seemed to have an accident, and it was occupied by the couple a few years ago."

Cheng Xinxin explained.

Then she returned to her own life. She and Cheng Zuyuan continued to live a different life in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands than before Chu Ning.

However, with some skills, spells, and talismans that Chu Ning had given them before, they lived better than ordinary cultivators.

Later, Cheng Xinxin married a foreign cultivator, and through accumulating resources, she bought a foundation-building pill and successfully built her foundation.

But the good times didn't last long. Old man Cheng passed away at the end of his life. Cheng Xinxin's husband had an accident when he went out to hunt monsters.

So, the four of them were left.

For so many years, Cheng Xinxin has come here every year to visit the tomb and pay homage.

At that time, Cheng Zuyuan considered that this spiritual vein would be taken over by others, so he deliberately erected the tomb in a remote place at the foot of the mountain. However, it has been peaceful for so many years.

Unexpectedly, when Cheng Xinxin came with a few people this time, the foundation-building couple actually expanded the scope of the cave, even occupying the foot of the mountain.

This is what happened today.

After listening to what Cheng Xinxin said, Chu Ning knew the whole story.

Looking at the wrinkles on Cheng Xinxin's face, and remembering how lively and cheerful he was when he was here, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's been hard on you these past years."

Speaking of this, Chu Ning pondered for a moment, and then asked Cheng Xinxin:

"I have been practicing in a large sect these years, and this time I am going to bring some monks back to the sect.

We just have to see if the teleportation array in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands can be repaired. What are your plans? Should you follow me, or should I leave some resources for you to continue practicing in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands? "

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cheng Xinxin was fine and calm, while Su Keke's family of three had a hint of excitement on their faces.

"Sir, I..." Cheng Xinxin looked hesitant at this moment.

When Chu Ning saw this, he smiled lightly and said:

"You don't have to rush to answer me. I'll be here for a few days and I won't leave right away.

You can discuss it and think it through before replying to me. "

When Cheng Xinxin heard this, she suddenly expressed gratitude and said:

"Thank you, sir."

"Let's go and take a look at Yanfeng. I'll set up a simple formation here later.

You can practice here these days. After discussing it clearly, you can reply to me when I come in a few days.

By the way, I haven’t introduced you yet, but this is my Taoist companion, Cen Zijin. "

Hearing Chu Ning's introduction, Su Keke's family of three seemed fine, but Cheng Xinxin couldn't help but say:

"Fairy Cen?"

But Cen Zijin was very famous back then, and even the young Cheng Xinxin had heard of him.

"The name of the fairy was just a joke in those days."

Cen Zijin smiled at Cheng Xinxin.

"When I often came to Yanfeng back then, Chu Ning hadn't brought you back yet, otherwise we should have met before."

A few people chatted, and the group went up to Yanfeng.

This place has experienced several owners, and it has definitely changed a lot compared to a hundred years ago.

However, Chu Ning opened the cave near the lake back then, perhaps because of the beautiful scenery, but it is still there.

Sitting here sipping the spiritual tea, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin were also filled with memories.

After staying in Yanfeng for a full day, Chu Ning arranged several formation restrictions on Yanfeng, and then explained to Cheng Xinxin and others a few times to give them time to think.

Immediately, Chu Ning took Cen Zijin and flew away towards Yuquan Island, where the teleportation array was deployed.

After they finally landed on Yuquan Island, Chu Ning and his two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw where the formation was.

Although this formation was severely damaged, it was not difficult to repair it given the two people's formation attainments.

The two began to study the layout of the teleportation array while looking for materials to repair the teleportation array in their storage bags.

One day later, the repair plan for the teleportation array was initially determined.

The two of them had a preliminary understanding of each other's accomplishments in formations.

Chu Ning recalled that Cen Zijin had talked about the Cen family's inheritance of formations, and couldn't help but ask at this moment:

"By the way, you said last time that after forming the pill, you came back to Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and you also received the family's formation inheritance.

I haven't asked you yet, where did this family inheritance come from? "

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin didn't hide anything and said:

"He comes from an ancient sect that you may have never heard of, called the Thunder Fire Sect."

"Thunder Fire Sect?" Chu Ning was slightly startled.

He was very familiar with this name. He had not only heard of it, he had even been there.

Cen Zijin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Chu Ning's expression clearly didn't look like he had never heard of it before.

"Have you ever heard of this sect?"

Chu Ning nodded, and then began to tell Cen Zijin using his spiritual voice.

"You mean, the ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect are located in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and you've been there twice?"

After hearing what Chu Ning said, Cen Zijin's face was full of surprise.

After Chu Ning nodded to confirm, Cen Zijin said to Chu Ning with some curiosity and surprise on his face:

"Our ancestors of the Cen family accidentally saved a junior monk from the Thunder Fire Sect, and then he taught him this formation.

According to what the senior monk said, there is a big secret hidden within the Thunder Fire Sect.

It even affects the life and death of many monks in the entire Tianyan world where we are, and told our family that if there is a chance, we must find the ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect.

Did you find anything inside? "

Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly.

"I did get some secret treasures inside, and also learned some about the past of the Thunder Fire Sect from the murals.

But if you say it’s a secret related to the entire Tianyan world…”

After Chu Ning thought for a while, he took out something from his storage bag.

It was the map of Jiuyan Lingshan that was obtained from the cave of the great elder of Thunder Fire Sect.

"The map here was obtained from the Thunder Fire Sect ruins back then. However, over the years, I have tried several times, but I have not been able to view the content inside."

Chu Ning said, and opened the map. Except for the four words Jiuyan Lingshan, the rest of the content was still invisible.

"Is it possible that what the monk was talking about was the Jiu Yan Ling Mountain?"

Cen Zijin took the map from Chu Ning's hand and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, Chu Ning was also thinking.

This map, the feathers of the Fierce Sun Spirit Bird, and the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman were placed in the great elder's cave training room.

The Fierce Sun Spirit Bird and the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman are indeed rare treasures, but as Chu Ning's realm has improved, he has also realized it.

Neither of these two treasures can reach the level of a sect-suppressing treasure.

Since the map is put together, even if the value is higher, it should not be so high that it is not so high as Cen Zijin said, it is related to the life and death of the monks in the entire Tianyan world.

"On the other hand, I didn't think I had entered the last level of the Thunder Fire Sect Elder Mountain. It is more likely that there is a big secret hidden there."

Immediately, Chu Ning was Cen Zijin and talked about his speculation.

After hearing what Chu Ning said, Cen Zijin also asked with great interest:

"Can you still find the ruins of the Thunder Fire Sect?"

"It's hard to say." Chu Ning shook his head lightly.

“The ruins are actually a small world, and the junction with our real world may change at any time.

And even the golden elixir monks couldn't detect it. When the golden elixir monks from the Yin Demon Sect were chasing me, they couldn't find where I was hiding.

Now that another hundred years have passed, Bai Ling relies on her magical talent to see if she can find it. "

Speaking of this, Chu Ning asked Cen Zijin:

"Your senior sister and the others are going to arrive at Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. It will probably take some time. This teleportation array is not in a hurry to be repaired. Why don't we go to the Thunder Fire Sect ruins again?"

Cen Zijin nodded slightly.

"That's exactly what I meant. The ancestor of our Cen family also specifically talked about joining the Thunder Fire Sect back then."

Both of them are interested in the Thunder Fire Sect, and the repair of the teleportation array is not complicated. It will not take much time, so there is no rush to do it.

Immediately, Chu Ning took Cen Zijin and fled towards the place where they entered the Thunder Fire Sect.

Back then, Chu Ning entered the Leihuo Sect ruins twice. Once on Luoxia Island, he was chased by the monks of the Song family and broke in accidentally.

It was there that Chu Ning and Bai Ling formally signed a contract and practiced the Xuanming Jue.

The second time, Chu Ning took the initiative to hide when he was chased by the Yin Demon Sect's Golden Pill cultivator.

At that time, the Yin Mo Sect's Golden Pill monk directly sacrificed the Golden Pill, severely injuring Chu Ning.

Chu Ning also relied on the Xuanming Jue and the jade bones left behind by the great elder of the Thunder Fire Sect after his death, and he was able to recover in just a few months.

If I can get in this time, it will be the third time.

The two of them flew all the way, and it didn't take them too long to reach that area.

Bai Ling was released by Chu Ning at this moment. He sensed it for a while and said:

"I sensed it!"
