On the top floor of Dinghai Tower.

Wang Tianzhou stared at the direction of Qingmang Mountain, his old hands clenched tightly. How could he not sense it? He just didn't expect that the Ninth Prince was so fast. He really started to clear out the Lizhou bandits in just half a month.

By the time he sensed it, the three Black Scorpions had already been controlled by Xie Zifeng and others.

"There are not many people, and they are all elites." Wang Tianzhou's eyes flashed with anger.

He naturally discovered that among the 10,000-strong Lizhou army led by Ning Chen, each of them had a cultivation level of Jade Sea Realm or above.

Not only is it swift, but its combat power is also amazing, with almost no damage.

In less than half an hour, more than 9,000 bandits were either killed or surrendered.

Wang Tianzhou hesitated, wondering whether he should rescue those bandits.

Or notify Kunlong Mountain and Black Bear Mountain?
"Elder Yu."

Soon, Yu Chunlei appeared on the Dinghai Tower, bowed and said, "Master, what do you want?"

"Quickly notify Kunlong Mountain and Black Bear Mountain, tell them that the Ninth Prince has already taken action and cleared out Qingmang Mountain, so they should make preparations early."

When Yu Chunlei heard this, he was a little stunned. Is it so fast?

There are still nearly 10,000 people in Qingmang Mountain. If we want to wipe them out, we have to send out at least 30,000 troops, but we haven't heard any movement.

"Owner, didn't the Lizhou Army go to Beiyuan County City?"

"Make a feint to the east and attack in the west." Wang Tianzhou said coldly.

Fifty thousand troops from the Lizhou military camp were dispatched to wipe out the mountain bandits in Beiyuan County. He received the news one hour after the army left.

But he did not get any news about Ning Chen's ten thousand people.

Otherwise, Qingmang Mountain would not have been caught off guard.

Yu Chunlei didn't ask any more questions, bowed and left.

Wang Tianzhou thought about it and decided to teach Ning Chen and the other troops a lesson. He changed into a coarse linen shirt, with his hair loose, and was about to leave when a figure appeared in the room.

"Senior brother, wait a minute!"

The man was dressed in blue, about forty years old, with a handsome face. He was Sui Qing, the deputy owner of Dinghai Tower.

Wang Tianzhou glanced back at Sui Qing and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Brother, are you still stubborn? There will be no good results if you go against the court." Sui Qing advised.

Wang Tianzhou snorted coldly: "You still remember to call me Senior Brother, then do you still remember the last words of Master?"

Sui Qing showed a guilty look on his face: "Junior brother is incompetent and cannot fulfill Master's last wish. Hundreds of years have passed since the grudge. Are we going to ignore the safety of all the elders and disciples of Dinghai Tower for Master's last wish?"

Wang Tianzhou scolded: “Coward, even if you practice for another 500 years, your temperament will not be able to fulfill the master’s last words, let alone achieve the Breakthrough Realm.”

Sui Qing smiled bitterly. Is he a coward?

"Brother, although the Daning royal family is facing internal and external troubles, it has not yet reached the point of disintegration. The threat of Lizhou bandits alone cannot affect the Daning royal family at all."

"Besides, why is Emperor Ning in such a hurry to open up new territories? The Su family has already started to move out of Shanhai City and head to Fulong City. In the next ten years, all the small families and small sects that can't survive in Lizhou will move out. If there is no one in Lizhou, what's the point of the bandit threat?"

"You want to rely on a group of rabble to overthrow the entire Daning Dynasty. This is undoubtedly a foolish dream."

Wang Tianzhou came to Sui Qing angrily, grabbed Sui Qing by the collar and said angrily: "You coward, have you forgotten that the sea tribe supports our Dinghai Tower? Even if the court really sends a large army to suppress us, we have a place to hide in Dinghai Tower."

"Emperor Ning was severely injured by Demon Emperor Ao Li, Gu Tuo, and Shi Chui. He will never recover in this lifetime. He will not live for another ten years. He is just holding on now. In the next ten years, Ning Quan and other princes will surely fight for the throne."

"You are not only a coward, you have no brains yet. Can't you see Emperor Ning's intentions?"

"Emperor Ning sent all the other princes out except the eldest prince Ning Quan who stayed in Kyoto. Except for the newly opened Fulong Territory, each territory has a prince. Do you think that if you leave the eldest prince in Kyoto, he will definitely be able to ascend the throne?"

"It's not certain. The Ninth Prince has been in Lizhou for less than a month, but he has been canonized as the King of Li by Emperor Ning. The entire Lizhou is the Ninth Prince's fiefdom. What does Emperor Ning want to do?"

Sui Qing didn't know. He looked at the slightly crazy Wang Tianzhou with an expressionless face. To be honest, he really couldn't guess Emperor Ning's intentions, and he didn't want to guess.

Because Da Ning's luck is still there and it has not yet reached the point where its fate is over, otherwise the heroes of the world would have risen up in rebellion long ago.

Wang Tianzhou knew that this stupid junior brother couldn't figure it out, so he snorted coldly, "Everyone knows that Emperor Ning is seriously injured and will not die soon, but he just won't appoint a crown prince. He has two thoughts. First, Emperor Ning wants to use this opportunity to see who is plotting against his throne. This "who" refers not only to those princes, but also to the heroes of the world. If this is the case, then Emperor Ning's thoughts are very scary, which means that he has a certain degree of confidence in his recovery from his injuries."

"Second, he cannot decide which prince will inherit his throne, so he simply lets the nine princes fight each other. Whoever can sit on the throne will not only represent strong ability, but also make the Daning court more stable, because in the fight, the entire Daning situation will be cleansed, and anyone who does not support the new emperor will disappear from this world."

"My stupid junior brother, do you understand? This is the only chance for my Dinghai Tower. In Donghai City, the 300,000-strong sea tribe army is fighting with the Daning Navy, and the 300,000-strong barbarian tribe army in the Western Frontier is fighting with the barbarian army. Although the demon tribe has not moved, do you think they will let go of this great opportunity?"

"The heavens are helping us. If we don't take action to control the entire Lizhou and use Lizhou as a base to fight our way to Kyoto City little by little, what are we waiting for? Wait until the new emperor ascends the throne?"

Sui Qing didn't say anything. He felt that what his senior brother said might make sense, but his senior brother had never considered that Dinghai Tower hadn't even suppressed the Gou family, so how could it control the entire Lizhou?

The Sea Clan said they would support Dinghai Tower, but no strong men from the Sea Clan have appeared yet. If the Sea Clan goes back on their word, then Dinghai Tower will be doomed.

Wang Tianzhou was too lazy to talk nonsense with Sui Qing and left Dinghai Tower in a flash. However, before he left the Dinghai Tower, he was stopped by a figure.

In the dark night, an old blind man blocked Wang Tianzhou's way.

Wang Tianzhou's face was filled with anger: "Yang Yu, are you sure you want to be an enemy of Dinghai Tower?"

The old blind man stood on the top of the hill, the night wind blowing his hair, swaying gently.

He leaned on the stick with both hands and said hoarsely: "It's so late, Mr. Wang, why don't you take a good rest? Where are you going?"

Wang Tianzhou said angrily: "Where I'm going has nothing to do with you?"

The old blind man said, "Since I became blind, I can tell good from evil regardless of day or night. You have done many evil things in Lizhou. To be honest, I should have shot you to death. However, you are a poor man, and I am kind-hearted. I sympathize with poor people and cannot bear to kill you."

"If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for sending you to see your master."

Wang Tianzhou's face was ferocious, and he exploded in an instant. His Dinghai magical power was displayed in an instant. A large amount of sea water appeared out of thin air and instantly covered the old blind man.

"Go to hell, old dog!"

Dense sword lights shot out from the swirling sea water and shot towards the old blind man.

However, a chaotic-colored light shield formed around the old blind man. The range of the light shield was not large, only three meters around his body. No matter how Wang Tianzhou attacked, the sword lights could not break through that layer of light shield.

"Huntian Realm."

There was anger and shock in Wang Tianzhou's eyes.

Spear Saint Yang Yu relied on his Huntian Spear Technique to create the Huntian Realm. The Huntian Realm was composed entirely of densely packed spear shadows and had extremely terrifying defensive capabilities. Not only that, it also had ferocious offensive power.

boom!
The next moment, the Hun Tian Realm suddenly expanded, and countless spear beams shot out from it.

Instantly, the Dinghai Realm that was spinning around him was shattered, a large amount of seawater flew away, the sword light shattered, and Wang Tianzhou was pierced through the chest by several spear beams, flying thousands of feet away, smashing a mountain top. Puff...!
Large mouthfuls of blood spurted out of Wang Tianzhou's mouth. Sui Qing, who was standing on the Dinghai Tower, saw it all clearly and could not help but close his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes and disappeared on the Dinghai Tower in an instant.

night sky.

Sui Qing quickly appeared and bowed to Yang Yu: "Senior, please show mercy and spare my brother's life."

The old blind man stood on the top of the hill without moving, holding the wooden stick in both hands and said: "This is the last chance. I don't care what forces are behind your Dinghai Tower. If you dare to touch the Ninth Prince, I will show no mercy."

Wang Tianzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "Why? Why do you want to protect him? What is there in him that is worth protecting?"

The old blind man did not answer Wang Tianzhou's question. His figure flashed and disappeared over the hill, leaving only the night wind.

Sui Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Tianzhou and said, "Brother, please don't be stubborn."

"Get out of here!"

Wang Tianzhou got up and pointed at Sui Qing and cursed: "You coward, hiding behind me and watching me laugh? You didn't even dare to move a muscle when you saw me being beaten."

Sui Qing took a deep breath. He didn’t know how to persuade his brother to come to his senses.

Master left some last words before he died, but he didn’t say that it had to be completed by the two of us, right?
If we can’t accomplish it, there is still the next generation of disciples!

Why are you so persistent?
He watched Wang Tianzhou fly towards the sea despite his serious injuries.

Sui Qing felt that his senior brother was crazy, or that his senior brother was not concerned about the master's last words at all, but was simply overambitious, and the master's last words were just an excuse.

If that's the case, then he's afraid he won't be able to persuade his senior brother to come back.

……

At the foot of Qingmang Mountain.

Ning Chen and his army of 10,000 people escorted Black Scorpion and more than 8,000 bandits. He planned to send the bandits above the Lingkong Realm to the Lizhou Prison, and the rest to the Shanhai City Prison.

Let Luo Kang assign 500 Demon-Suppressing Guards to push Black Scorpion and others back to Lizhou, and have Gou Santeng lead 2,000 cavalry to escort them to avoid being intercepted by other bandits on the way.

Yan Conglong, Xie Zifeng and others watched all of this. The Ninth Prince Ning Chen was very capable and methodical in commanding the battle.

Ning Chen sat upright on the Wind and Thunder Horse, staring in the direction of Dinghai Tower.

He felt a little puzzled. Wang Tianzhou should have been able to sense that Qingmang Mountain had been wiped out, but he still refused to show up. Even if he disguised himself, he could have saved Black Scorpion and the others, but he didn't come.

"Your Highness Prince Li, are we going to follow the plan and eliminate the other bandits around Shanhai City?" Xie Zifeng asked.

Ning Chen said: "You lead all the troops under your command to clear out the bandits immediately. Anyone who resists and refuses to surrender will be killed. Those who surrender will not be killed for now. Those above the Lingkong realm will be escorted to Lizhou, and the rest will be detained in Shanhai City."

"General Gou, you and your men will follow me into the city."

Gou Dateng nodded, he still had a thousand men under his command.

Xie Zifeng was slightly stunned: "Your Highness Prince Li, are the three thousand men under your command also entering the city?"

Ning Chen nodded: "Press it a little more. The largest martial arts family in Shanhai City is the Feng family, and the backer is Dinghai Tower. This Feng family oppressed my mother's family and injured my grandfather. In the past, they were also domineering in the city, bullying men and women. This martial arts world is worse than mountain bandits, so there is no need to stay."

Xie Zifeng's eyes flickered slightly. The bandits haven't been cleared out yet, and they've already started clearing out the martial arts family?

What on earth is this Prince Li thinking?

Xie Zifeng couldn't figure it out either, so he just led his cavalry and galloped away.

Ning Chen did not stop either. He took all his soldiers and escorted more than 7,000 bandits straight to Shanhai City.

Such a big commotion has alarmed Lu Fei, the Lord of Shanhai City, and Zhang Liao, the Director of the Demon Suppression Division.

When they saw Ning Chen leading a large army and capturing many bandits, Lu Fei and Zhang Liao were so scared that their faces turned pale and they almost wet their pants. They knelt at the city gate to greet him.

"Lord Lu, how are you?" Ning Chen sat upright on the horse's back, leaning forward slightly and staring at Lu Fei who was kneeling on the ground.

Lu Fei was trembling all over: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Ning Chen smiled and waved his hand, ordering the army to enter the city.

Yan Conglong glanced at Lu Fei and asked Zhang Liao to take people to detain more than 7,000 bandits in the Shanhai City prison. The prison could hold 10,000 people, which was enough.

"If you lose one bandit, I'll chop off your head."

"I understand."

Lu Fei was trembling all over and told Zhang Liao to do it quickly.

He carefully stepped forward to lead the horse for Ning Chen and went straight to the mansion of the largest family in Shanhai City.

Lu Fei was slightly stunned. Is this going to deal with the Feng family?

There is no curfew in Shanhai City, and there are still many people on the streets. They have already arrived outside the Feng family with the army. People are curious, are they going to destroy the Feng family?

When the guard at the Feng family’s gate saw the army approaching, his face suddenly changed and he hurried to report.

Not long after, Feng Shaoshan, the head of the Feng family, and a group of Feng family members hurried to the gate of the mansion.

Feng Shaoshan had seen the Ninth Prince before and recognized him at a glance.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that there was a man in armor behind the Ninth Prince, carrying a black umbrella. It was Gou Da Teng from the Gou family.

At that moment, Feng Shaoshan's legs began to tremble.

He suddenly tugged at the clothes of a person beside him and said in a voice transmission: "Quick, go to Dinghai Tower to ask for help."

The man was his eldest son, Feng Zhongjun, who had reached the eighth level of Tiangang cultivation. He quietly retreated behind the crowd and was about to leave when a beam of gunlight pierced his body.

The person who took action was Yan Conglong.

With his Wanxiang fifth level cultivation, he shot Feng Zhongjun to death with one shot and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to act will die!"

Ning Chen frowned slightly and glanced at Yan Conglong.

He didn't expect that Yan Conglong would act so quickly and kill the Feng family.

Originally, he thought that it would be a good thing if the Feng family left, so that he could pull Dinghai Tower in and take the opportunity to suppress Dinghai Tower.

"Juner!"

Feng Shaoshan killed his son without saying a word before he got to His Royal Highness Prince Li first. Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were red, and he turned around and glared at Ning Chen.

"Ninth Prince, what crime has my Feng family committed that has caused you to mobilize so many troops to besiege my Feng family and kill my son?" (End of this chapter)
