An Assassination Attempt on the Road, a Scheme Set in Motion!
Chen Ning was settled in a mansion in the Yutian Kingdom.
The mansion was given directly to Chen Ning.
This place was personally chosen by the Yutian True God.
It occupies a very large area.
It was also extremely close to his main hall.
To outsiders, this was an unparalleled honor.
Being so highly regarded by the Yutian True God, Chen Ning was currently enjoying unparalleled prominence.
He is now.
Everyone knows it.
Everyone knows it.
Firstly.
He was the most favored person under the command of the Yutian True God.
It was at its peak of popularity.
Secondly.
He solved an unprecedented case involving the theft of a cultivator's Innate Origin.
After this shocking news spread...
The entire Dragon-Tiger Realm was in an uproar.
Countless people have racked their brains but never come up with this idea.
The mastermind behind it all was none other than the Willow God, Upper God.
This is truly an astonishing story.
On his way back to his residence, Chen Ning encountered an uninvited guest.
A sword's cry suddenly rang out.
That moment.
Even Chen Ning felt a pang of unease.
This person is a master swordsman.
However, since the opponent was not at the God Realm, but rather below the God Realm, Chen Ning could already act with impunity.
So.
The next moment.
The sword broke.
The man's figure also crashed heavily to the ground.
He was a handsome young man.
Chen Ning had never seen him before.
Do I know you?
The man didn't speak.
Do you know me?
"I'd recognize him even if he were ashes."
"Such a deep grudge?"
Chen Ning was completely confused.
He had never seen this person before.
"Silence won't solve the problem."
Chen Ning squatted down and said, "Look, you want to kill me now, but you can't. You'll only end up dead. But now, I'll give you a chance. Tell me why you want to kill me, and I'll spare your life. Go back and train hard, and then find another opportunity to kill me. How about that?"
How do I know if you're lying to me?
"I won't lie to you, because in my eyes you're no different from an ant right now, there's no need to lie to you at all."
Upon hearing this...
The man was about to get angry.
Chen Ning said, "Don't be so angry yet. Your anger is worthless to me. Now, you only need to tell me why you killed me, and I will spare your life. Only then will you have the opportunity to diligently cultivate and prove to me that your anger was worthwhile."
"You ruined the Willow God!" The man's eyes were filled with rage.
What do you mean?
"You falsely accused Willow God of being the mastermind behind the theft of the Innate Origin. The Yutian True God has ordered that Willow God's statue be destroyed throughout the Dragon-Tiger Realm, forbidding people from believing in Willow God anymore."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning said calmly, "Why do you think I framed Willow God?"
"Hmph! Now everyone in the entire Dragon-Tiger Realm knows that it was you, Chen Ning, who performed extraordinary feats. The grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors; of course, they're looking for you!"
"That's not what I meant. I meant, what evidence do you have to prove that Willow God isn't the mastermind behind this?"
"No evidence."
The man was both unreasonable and arrogant.
Chen Ning immediately flew into a rage. "You came to assassinate me without any evidence? I have witnesses! The Spirit Rhinoceros True God of the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent has been claiming that Willow God is the mastermind. If you have nowhere to vent your anger, go find him, or go find the Great God White Brows, or the Yutian True God. The real reason you came to me is because I'm the easiest to bully here!"
They seemed to be taken aback by Chen Ning's outburst at that moment.
The man did not speak again.
After venting his frustrations.
Chen Ning did not kill him.
Instead, he went straight back to the mansion that the Yutian True God had given him.
Chen Ning sat alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.
At this moment.
A figure appeared silently behind Chen Ning.
Chen Ning suddenly turned around.
They discovered that the visitor was none other than the Yutian True God.
"My lord, what brings you here?"
Chen Ning immediately stood up.
The Yutian True God revealed a warm smile, "No need to be so formal. I came out for a stroll, and somehow I ended up here. So, how do you like this place?"
"It is already an honor for me to have you personally choose the residence."
"I'm satisfied. This place isn't far from my palace, so it's more convenient to summon you."
"Whatever your orders, sir, I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
Chen Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed his head.
But at this moment...
The once amiable Yutian True God suddenly unleashed murderous intent, his hands transforming into a pair of sharp blades, stabbing towards Chen Ning's head.
Blood spurted out.
Chen Ning's eyes widened in horror.
But this scene didn't last long.
Not far away.
Chen Ning appeared.
And at this moment.
The figures of the Yutian True God and Chen Ning, who had been stabbed, both vanished.
"You've really made progress quickly; you even fooled me. Is it fun to play tricks on me?"
Lu Sisi's beautiful figure appeared before Chen Ning.
"I wasn't playing a trick on you. I just wanted you to feel better and ease the pain in your heart."
"Then shouldn't I be thanking you?"
Lu Sisi was furious.
"Sorry."
Chen Ning said in a low voice.
Is it even useful to say this now?
Lu Sisi raised an eyebrow and said, "I may not be able to kill you today, but I will be able to one day."
"No need to wait for another day."
Chen Ning said calmly.
"What, are you saying you're going to spare my life today?"
"No, I want to talk to you."
"What's there to talk about, you traitor!"
Lu Sisi frowned. "I thought you were a decent person, which is why I was willing to pass on the Thousand Illusions at Will to you. If I had known you were such a gossipmonger and framer, I should have killed you that night."
"Do you also believe that I framed the Azure Cloud Sect and Willow God?"
"Who else could it be but you?"
"I've been set up and framed."
Chen Ning spoke concisely and to the point.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Sisi's eyes flickered, and she laughed, "You're still lying to me, aren't you? Are you trying to use me to gain some credit this time?"
Chen Ning shook his head and said:
"My journey has been too smooth. Now that I think about it, there are many suspicious points. First, I received intelligence that there was something wrong with the Azure Cloud Sect, so I came here to investigate. Then, when Li Xiong and others from the Sea King Hall surrounded the mountain, I revealed my identity to get them out of trouble. The Spirit Rhinoceros True God arrived and asked me to suspect him along with the Azure Cloud Sect, to suspect that he was your protector."
"Afterwards, the Azure Cloud Sect Master returned with eight children. They had lost their Innate Origin, which affected my emotions, to the point that I began to believe it was the Azure Cloud Sect Master's doing. In addition, Lang Xiaoshan evaded the question and refused to reveal the Azure Cloud Sect Master's instructions, which made me even more furious. At this moment, the Spirit Rhinoceros True God appeared."
"He told me everything and tried to recruit me. Finally, the Great God White Brows appeared, the evidence was irrefutable, and the verdict was final. It all went too smoothly, as if it had been orchestrated."
After listening to Chen Ning's words...
Lu Sisi remained silent for a long while, then said indifferently, "Why couldn't you see that before?"
"At that time, I was deeply involved and confused by the situation. Besides, what really made me realize there was a problem was one person."
"Who?"
Lu Sisi asked, puzzled.
