The Emperor of Great Yan's Invitation
The disciples were overjoyed.
They all looked at Chen Ning with expressions of admiration.
"I will remember the sect leader's teachings!"
"I will remember the sect leader's teachings!"
The disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.
Their gazes grew increasingly reverent.
This trip out for training not only tempered my character but also provided me with guidance from the sect leader.
Thus becoming stronger.
Everyone was extremely excited.
Soon.
After the Black Dragon Clan finished cleaning up, Chen Ning summoned the three hundred young and strong men with the Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, had them form a square formation, and began releasing the second buff.
The Black Dragon Clan are quite simple and honest.
There's no need for those inspirational platitudes.
Chen Ning stated directly, "You have protected the name of the Progenitor Black Dragon for generations, and your contributions are immense. I hereby bestow upon you new power as a reward!"
They were given power simply by using the name of the Little Black Dragon.
It is also simple and easy to understand.
There's no need to waste too much breath explaining.
Chen Ning unleashed [Berserk Blade].
It enveloped three hundred young and strong members of the Black Dragon Clan.
Elder Long watched from the sidelines, tears streaming down his face, unable to contain his emotions.
But in his eyes, there was a deep sense of satisfaction and pride.
The three hundred Black Dragon Clan had clean eyes and were completely unguarded.
Let yourself be bathed in this crimson light.
A moment later.
As the red light dissipated, the three hundred young men of the Black Dragon Clan all looked at Chen Ning with reverence and performed a deep bow.
"The Black Dragon Clan swears to serve the Dragon Lord to the death!"
"The Black Dragon Clan swears to serve the Dragon Lord to the death!"
In fact, they haven't even realized what changes have occurred in themselves.
But this did not diminish their respect for Chen Ning.
However, Chen Ning didn't seem to care.
If we encounter enemies in the future.
The clues will naturally become apparent during the battle.
A basic attack with a critical hit—just thinking about it is exciting.
Chen Ning also received the enhancement from these two buffs.
However, his body had undergone a marrow cleansing and bone tempering before, so this slight increase in defense was better than nothing.
Critical hits are still somewhat useful.
However, the biggest gain from this mission was the [Pill God Canon].
He not only integrated knowledge of elixirs.
It also contains the lifelong insights of a master of Dao of Alchemy.
At this moment, his alchemy skills had already reached an extraordinary level.
Chen Ning felt that if he had nothing to do, he could go back to his sect and practice more.
Try to acquire as many trump cards as possible for self-defense.
The Ninth Elder's outburst made Chen Ning realize that although things seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents surging beneath.
Who knows which undercover agent might jump out and cause trouble again.
And they're definitely after me.
Therefore, it is essential to have several trump cards up your sleeve.
The Protective Talisman used up last time to protect against Cang Yue's strange behavior.
I need to hurry up and create a batch when I get back.
Chen Ning's ability to inscribe runes has greatly improved.
The speed is several times faster than before.
This is the power of practice.
A large group of people traveled through the Forest of the Dead.
It has a very imposing presence.
I feel very safe.
Not to mention spirit beasts, even some adventurous hunters kept their distance from Chen Ning and his group.
The pressure from these thousands of people is immense.
A glance from afar reveals at least a hundred experts at the Spirit Martial Realm.
Even if someone harbored malicious intentions and wanted to rob someone, they wouldn't dare to do it.
In an instant.
The Forest of the Dead is peaceful.
They continued their journey.
Not a single ferocious spirit beast was seen.
If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd stumbled upon some kind of paradise.
However, the disciples gained a lot from this ten-day training.
I've collected various kinds of beast souls.
Among them are the souls of many mutated spirit beasts.
With its increased strength, it has many uses, whether sold for money or kept to forge weapons or armor.
At the same time, having the Black Dragon Clan as a guide is like having a living map.
Before long, the group emerged from the Forest of the Dead in a grand procession.
It was already late when we returned to Vermilion Bird Peak.
After settling the Black Dragon Clan in, Chen Ning immediately felt a significant increase in his sense of security.
I feel more at ease now.
Finally, we have our own team.
However, Chen Ning's mind was not at ease.
Instead, he frowned.
He began using the Voice Transmission Spirit Stone to contact Su Ling'er was far away in the capital.
He found it somewhat strange.
The little girl said she had something to tell her grandfather and would be back in a few days.
Almost half a month has passed, and he still hasn't returned.
Throughout the trial, Chen Ning kept in touch with the other party using the Voice Transmission Spirit Stone, and only felt relieved after learning that they were safe and sound.
But he still hadn't returned to the sect.
Could it be that the grandfather and grandson, the Thief God, have run into some trouble?
This seems to be the only explanation.
There was a movement on the Voice Transmission Spirit Stone.
Su Ling'er's delighted voice rang out. "Sect Leader Brother!"
"Ling'er, how are you doing in the capital?"
Chen Ning asked suspiciously.
"Hmm... Sect Leader, are you missing Ling'er? Don't worry, Ling'er will be back soon, and then I can make your bed."
And it's that same answer again.
The answers I received during my previous attempts to contact you were also vague.
There was no specific timeframe for their return.
I just wanted to tell myself not to worry.
But Chen Ning's insight was extraordinary at this moment, and he noticed the weariness in Su Ling'er's voice.
She tried her best to hide it.
But how could he possibly keep it from Chen Ning?
How is your grandfather?
Chen Ning asked slowly.
"Grandpa... is he alright..."
Su Ling'er spoke with some hesitation.
Chen Ning understood instantly.
Something must have happened to the Shi Clan.
The fact that the Marquis Who Guards the North's cultivation was crippled could not be hidden from the countless eyes in the imperial court.
It's likely that some people have already been itching to make a move against the Marquis Who Guards the North.
Now is the best time.
Those who take advantage of a disaster.
There must be quite a few.
Although the Thief God has returned to take charge of the Shi Clan, he has been devoted to the cultivation of the Heaven-Stealing Ghost Hand for many years, and may not be able to handle these court affairs.
He might not be able to intimidate those enemies of the Marquis Who Guards the North.
This is probably why Su Ling'er wanted to stay in the capital to help her grandfather manage the Shi Clan's affairs.
No time to spare for anything else.
I can't get away.
"Sect Leader Brother, you should rest now. Ling'er won't bother you any longer."
"Okay, take good care of yourself in the capital."
The Voice Transmission Spirit Stone was interrupted.
Chen Ning had already made up his mind.
I need to go to the capital again as soon as possible and bring the little girl back.
Just as he was about to go back to rest, the Voice Transmission Spirit Stone started flashing again.
Cang Yue's voice came through.
Ever since Cang Yue became jealous of Xiao Mei, she felt that Chen Ning was getting too close to her, so she gave Chen Ning a specially made Voice Transmission Spirit Stone.
You can let me know if anything happens.
This specially made Voice Transmission Spirit Stone has no limit on the number of times it can be used.
Ordinary Voice Transmission Spirit Stone will shatter after being used a few times because they cannot withstand the infusion of Essence Power.
"Master, I was so worried when I heard that you had returned from your training with your disciples. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
"It's alright, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Ning asked.
Then, Cang Yue's melodious voice came from the other end again:
"It is so. Some time ago, you recited sacred words, blessing Spirit Province and bringing good weather and abundant harvests to the land Spirit Province. The Great Yan Emperor wishes to invite you to a banquet at the palace to express his gratitude for your merits."
