Zhang Xing exchanged glances with Yan Conglong and tried again to stop Wen Zhiliang.

Wen Zhiliang was furious and fought with Zhang Xing, but was knocked back by Zhang Xing and retreated in front of Yu Chunlei.

Yu Chunlei had a cold face and glanced at Ning Chen and the others: "Are you guys going to make things difficult for my Dinghai Tower?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Elder Yu, you have also seen that he is just an old blind man. He is already like this, why should you, Dinghai Tower, bother with him?"

Yu Chunlei said coldly: "Mr. Ding, this is not a matter of arguing. He is the one who slandered Dinghai Tower. If I don't kill him, he will go around spreading nonsense to ruin the reputation of Dinghai Tower."

Ning Chen said: "The innocent are innocent. If Dinghai Tower is really innocent, it won't care what others say. What do you think, Elder Yu?"

Hearing this, Yu Chunlei snorted coldly, "So, Master Ding is really trying to make things difficult for my Dinghai Tower?"

Ning Chen shook his head: "I can't control what you do and hear in Dinghai Tower, but since I have encountered these people, I can't ignore them."

"Okay, okay!" Yu Chunlei nodded and looked back at the carriage.

The door of the carriage opened, and a woman in a blue dress appeared. She looked to be in her twenties, with a good appearance but an extremely cold expression. She was the great-granddaughter of the owner of Dinghai Tower, Wang Jing.

As soon as Wang Jing appeared, she said coldly: "I don't care what faction you come from, but if you dare to meddle in the affairs of Dinghai Tower, I will not let you have an easy life. Elder Yu, kill all the beggars in the temple, including the old blind man."

"It's Miss."

Yu Chunlei nodded, moved suddenly, and rushed towards the old blind man first.

Zhang Xing tried to block it, but was instantly knocked away by Yu Chunlei, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

There was a hand supporting my back.

Zhang Xing looked back and was a little surprised that the person supporting him was the old blind man.

The old blind man waved his hand and threw Zhang Xing aside: "Let him kill us."

Everyone could see that this old blind man was a warrior, and his strength seemed to be quite strong.

Yu Chunlei sneered: "I really misjudged you. Is there a master like you hiding in this dilapidated temple?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chunlei was three meters in front of the old blind man in the blink of an eye. Thunder rolled on his palm and sword light burst out, slashing towards the old blind man.

The old blind man looked normal, he just shook the wooden stick in his arms, and a beam of light shot out.

There was only a 'puff' sound.

Yu Chunlei's chest was pierced and blood gushed out from his back. However, the Chunlei sword light that rolled towards the old blind man also shattered and did not hurt the old blind man at all.

Seeing this scene, Ning Chen and others were incredulous.

Especially Yan Conglong, he could see that Yu Chunlei was at the sixth level of the Wanxiang realm, which was one level higher than his.

However, he was shot through the chest by the old blind man with ease. It was obvious that the old blind man's strength was above the ninth level of the Wanxiang realm, and he might even be a strong man in the realm of supernatural powers.

A hidden powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers?
There are eight powerful people in the realm of supernatural powers in Lizhou, but there must be some in secret as well.

"you!"

Yu Chunlei looked down at the bloody hole on his chest. The bullet was amazing, but it did not take his life. He activated his martial arts and the wound healed slowly, and the bleeding stopped in a moment.

Looking up, Yu Chunlei's eyes were filled with deep fear, and he dared not attack again.

Outside the dilapidated temple, Wang Jing also had a solemn expression on his face.

As the great-granddaughter of the owner of Dinghai Tower, she was naturally also a warrior. Her cultivation was only at the entry level of the Spirit Infant Realm, so it was impossible for her to be a match for that old blind man.

"Which senior are you?" Yu Chunlei stared at the old blind man coldly.

"What senior or not, it's just the old blind man. You heard what the old blind man said just now. Go back and tell Wang Tianzhou that those who do evil will eventually perish. You should take care of yourself in Dinghai Tower."

After the old blind man finished speaking, he leaned back against the base of the statue and said no more.

Yu Chunlei's face looked extremely ugly. Wang Tianzhou was the owner of his Dinghai Tower and a powerful person who had reached the minor level of supernatural power.

The tone of the old blind man in front of them was a warning, and it was obvious that he did not take their host seriously.

Yu Chunlei turned around and looked at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing snorted coldly: "Go back."

Hearing this, Yu Chunlei and Wen Zhiliang walked out of the ruined temple, Wang Jing also got into the carriage, and everyone left quickly.

Ning Chen and the others looked at the old blind man and bowed, "Greetings, senior."

The old blind man held the wooden stick and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ning Chen didn't say anything else. He asked Yan Conglong and others to take out some silver and copper coins from their pockets and distribute them to the beggars. He then bowed deeply to the old blind man and turned to leave the dilapidated temple.

But it was already dark.

Ning Chen took a deep breath and was about to leave with Yan Conglong and others when the old blind man said, "Wang Tianzhou is not a good person. If you are going to Shanhai City, you'd better be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Ning Chen turned around and bowed.

The old blind man closed his mouth again and remained quiet.

Ning Chen took Yan Conglong and others to leave the Poqiang Temple and rushed to Shanhai City.

In fact, it is impossible to reach Shanhai City at this time. We can only walk along the official road and find a town to stay temporarily and leave tomorrow.

On the road.

Yan Conglong has been thinking back to the time when the Daning Dynasty was attacked by a powerful man with supernatural powers of spearmanship.

After all, there are not many strong people who have reached the realm of supernatural powers, and even fewer who can use guns.

There were three people in the court who were good at using guns and were all at the level of supernatural powers, but that old blind man was obviously not one of them.

"Could it be the Spear Saint Yang Yu?" Yan Conglong muttered to himself.

He thought about it and thought that the only people who were good at using guns and were in the realm of supernatural powers, besides the three people in the imperial court, were the Gun Saint Yang Yu and the Luo family in the Qingyang realm.

The Luo family is also good at using guns, but they do not have supernatural powers.

So the old blind man is most likely Yang Yu.

I just haven’t heard that the Gun Saint Yang Yu is blind.

Of course, it could also be that there is a powerful person with supernatural powers of gunnery that he is not aware of.

"Commander Yan, you said he is Senior Yang Yu, the Spear Saint?" Ning Chen asked as he lifted the curtain in the carriage.

Yan Conglong's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned back and said, "Sir, I am just guessing."

Ning Chen groaned for a moment and said, "Let's go back and stay in that dilapidated temple tonight."

Yan Conglong understood Ning Chen’s thoughts and just nodded secretly.

When everyone returned to the dilapidated temple, it was completely dark.

The old blind man is no longer here, and even the number of beggars has been reduced by half.

Ning Chen asked the beggars still in the dilapidated temple and found out that the old blind man left shortly after they left and his whereabouts were unknown.

As for the few beggars in the dilapidated temple, since they had money now, they went to the surrounding villages and towns to buy food.

Ning Chen was somewhat disappointed. That was the Spear Saint Yang Yu. If he could be won over to his side, it would be a great help.

But think about it carefully, what conditions do I have to win over the Gun Saint Yang Yu?

He couldn't offer any conditions at all.

……

Shanhai City.

The largest force is Dinghai Tower.

Next are the Feng and Wang families, which have been passed down for more than three hundred years and whose ancestors have reached the Wanxiang realm.

The city lord of Shanhai City has not yet reached the Wanxiang Realm, but only the ninth level of Tiangang.

The Chief of the Demon Suppression Department also has the cultivation level of Tiangang Realm.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the City Lord's Mansion and the Demon Suppression Bureau to control the three forces of Dinghailou, Feng family, and Wang family. They can even only make friends with them, otherwise Shanhai City will become even more chaotic, which will have a huge impact on them.

Shanhai City is at least 50,000 miles away from Kyoto City, which can be said to be far away from the emperor.

Even if some unjust things were reported, they would be intercepted when they reached Lizhou and would never reach Kyoto City.

This also caused chaos in Lizhou, with bandits rampant and even demons appearing.

As for the Su family in Shanhai City, it was just a third-rate family. The ancestor in the family was in the late stage of the Spiritual Infant Realm. Apart from that, there were not many people in the family who were in the Spiritual Infant Realm, only four. If it weren't for the fact that the daughter of the Su family was selected to enter the palace and was named a beauty, and gave birth to the ninth prince, the Su family would have no status in Shanhai City.

The order of concubines in the harem of the Daning Dynasty was divided into seven levels: Empress, Imperial Concubine, Consort, Imperial Concubine, Honored Lady, Beauty, and Virtuous Lady.

The daughter of the Su family was not conferred the title of noble lady until her death.

As the saying goes, a mother's status is determined by her son. Ning Chen won the 157th place in the martial arts competition, and Emperor Ning then posthumously conferred the title of concubine on the daughter of the Su family.

The Su family has a little status in Shanhai City, but first-rate families, second-rate families and other forces still look down on the Su family.

After all, the Ninth Prince has no power in the palace, let alone the chance to succeed to the throne. In the future he will at most be a prince, and not necessarily a powerful prince.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Su family to rely on the imperial court for support.

now.

In the south of Shanhai City, there is a mansion covering an area of ​​about one kilometer. It is the Su Mansion, and there are no more than 300 people in the clan.

in the hall.

Su Lin, the ancestor of the Su family, was sitting at the top in a dark brown brocade robe.

Sitting below were the elders of the Su family and three generations of their clan.

Su Lin looked at everyone. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. The hall was very silent.

"The Feng family has forced Jinglan to marry them with a betrothal gift. How can our Su family refuse?" Su Lin said lightly, his voice slightly hoarse.

The Su Jinglan he mentioned was the daughter of his fourth son and his youngest granddaughter.

Half a year ago, the young master of the Feng family had set his sights on Su Jinglan.

Yesterday, they even forcibly brought the betrothal gifts to the mansion, and no one could stop them.

The Feng family is a first-rate family in Shanhai City, with a history of 420 years. The ancestor of the family is a powerful Wanxiang seventh-level master, and there are two Wanxiang realm masters in the family.

His Su family has been passed down for less than three hundred years, and he is the strongest in the family, who is in the late Spirit Infant stage. He cannot afford to provoke the Feng family at all.

"Dad, let's just agree to it if it doesn't work out." Su Ting, the eldest son of Su Lin, said.

Su Ting looks to be in his fifties and is one of the four Spirit Infant Realm people in the Su family. His actual age is over seventy.

Hearing this, a burly man sitting in the fourth seat on the left turned out to be Su Yan, the fourth son of Su Lin.

"Brother, don't you know what kind of person the young master of the Feng family is? If Jinglan marries him, she will be jumping into a fire pit. Now our Su family dare not refuse the Feng family. Does that mean that if Jinglan suffers in the Feng family in the future, will our Su family support her?"

Su Yan said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the hall nodded secretly, this was the truth.

Su Ting sighed: "Fourth brother, of course I know, but is there any other way for our Su family?"

Su Yan said: "The solution is to reject this marriage and return the betrothal gift from the Feng family. If the Feng family forcefully oppresses our Su family, I will definitely go to Kyoto City to file a complaint. I don't believe that the Feng family can still turn the tables."

Hearing this, no one else in the hall said anything.

Su Jinglan, the person involved, was unwilling to get married, and Su Yan also disagreed.

It would be fine if she was willing, but now that she is not willing, she can only return the betrothal gift to the Feng family.

Su Lin stared at everyone in silence. Seeing that no one said anything, he slowly said, "Return the betrothal gifts. Who is going to make this trip?"

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Su Ting said, "Dad, I'll go."

Su Yan glanced at his elder brother and said reluctantly, "Brother, I'll go."

Anyone who goes to the Feng family to return the betrothal gift will probably be embarrassed by the Feng family, or even get a beating.

Su Ting shook his head: "Don't go, I'll go now, Jingming, you come with me."

"It's Dad!"

A man in white behind Su Ting nodded. His name was Su Jingming, and he was Su Ting’s youngest son. He was 32 years old this year and had achieved the perfection of Jade Dan cultivation.

Su Lin looked at Su Ting and his son and said, "When you get to the Feng family, no matter how difficult it is for you, just bear with it. Remember not to fight with the Feng family."

"Dad, I know." Su Ting nodded and left with his son Su Jingming.

Su Yan stood up to help.

Not long after Su Ting left with his son and the Feng family's betrothal gift, a luxurious carriage stopped outside the Su Mansion.

Ning Chen got off the carriage, stood outside the gate of the Su Mansion, and looked around the Mansion.

This was the first time he had come to the Su family’s maternal clan in Shanhai City since he was born.

I had only heard about him before, but even when he won a place in the martial arts competition and his mother's family received rewards, he didn't show up.

"Is this the place where my mother was born?" Ning Chen murmured in his heart and walked towards the Su Mansion.

There were guards blocking the entrance to the Su Mansion.

"Who is this young master looking for?"

"Sutin."

"Mr. Ting is not here. He just left for the Feng family."

"I'll go wait at the mansion."

"This... What do you want to talk to Master Ting about? I can tell him, or you can come back tomorrow."

"Is Su Jingyi here?"

"The eldest master is here."

"You can find him, too."

"What do you call the young master?"

"You said you came from Kyoto."

"……it is good."

Not long after, a man in blue clothes strode out of the Su Mansion. This man looked to be in his thirties and had a dignified appearance. He recognized Ning Chen at first sight and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Then he looked at Yan Conglong and others behind Ning Chen, suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Sir, please come in."

Ning Chen smiled and nodded. He didn't know Su Jingyi, but he knew that Su Jingyi was his uncle.

Su Jingyi took Ning Chen into the Su family, and Ning Chen took the opportunity to take a look at the interior of the Su family.

Soon, everyone came to a large yard.

Su Jingyi asked someone to ask Yan Conglong and the other three to leave, and he took Ning Chen to the main hall alone.

Before Yan Conglong left, he stared at Ning Chen's back, his eyes flickering but he didn't say anything.

In the main hall.

Su Jingyi dismissed everyone.

Ning Chen looked at his uncle, and even though he was a stranger to him, he still knelt down.

"Ninth Prince, you can't do that." Su Jingyi quickly lifted Ning Chen up.

Although he is Ning Chen's elder, Ning Chen is still a prince, while he is just a son of a martial arts family and has no status or position in the court.

"Uncle, do you recognize me?" Ning Chen stood up.

"How could I not recognize you? You look so much like your mother that I recognized you right away. Besides, I also went to Zhenwu City for the martial arts tournament and saw you from afar."

The two were talking, and soon another man walked quickly into the hall.

Ning Chen didn't recognize him, but the latter quickly stepped forward and saluted him: "Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Chen'er, this is my second uncle Jinghong."

"Meet my second uncle."

Ning Chen saluted quickly.

Su Jinghong laughed out loud. They had not seen Ning Chen since he was born. Every time they went to Kyoto City, they were unable to enter the palace. They only saw him from afar last year.

"She looks so much like my younger sister." Su Jinghong said.

Ning Chen's mother, Su Jingyun, was the most beautiful woman in Shanhai City 20 years ago. After being selected into the palace, she never returned to Shanhai City. (End of this chapter)
