Chapter 184 Nie Yuanshan’s Crisis

Qingyan City.

As one of the six major cities of Shuiyun Kingdom, Qingyan City is close to Nanyi. After the Ji family moved out of Qingyan Mountain, it had no impact on Qingyan City. There are still many sects of Tianshi in the city. Yinshan Jiu family and Jia family are also famous Tianshi family in Qingyan City. The two families have always had as stable as Mount Tai in the Tianshi family in Qingyan City.

The Ji family moved away from Qingyan Mountain. At first, many people from Qingyan City didn’t know where the Ji family went. It was not until recently that the Ji family became famous in Xueyu Mountain that these people from Qingyan City knew that the Ji family had gone to Xueyu Mountain and became part of the Blood Rain League.

Many people think that the reason why the Ji family can gain a foothold in Xueyu Mountain was entirely because of He Haoran's help. They secretly envy the Ji family's good luck, but they don't know how many masters the Ji family has had during this period and how important the important role it plays in Xueyu Mountain.

There were many participants in the Blood Rain Mountain Incident, but there were very few rumors about Blood Rain Mountain. The Huangfu family and Murong family believed that it was not a glorious thing for foreigners from the Dark King and Wandu Sect to invade Blood Rain Mountain, so they were hidden. He Haoran and Xingshi Sect became prisoners of foreigners in the Blood Rain Mountain Incident, and they would not take the initiative to mention this matter.

Therefore, outsiders do not know the important role of the Ji family in the transformation of Bloody Rain Mountain, and they cannot imagine that the Ji family today is no longer the weak micro-family that shrank and Qingyan Mountain.

There are many rumors about Ji Changkong in the world. However, most people in Qingyan City do not believe the rumors outside, but just think that they are rumors and exaggerate Ji Changkong's true power. In their hearts, Ji Changkong was able to emerge so quickly because of the help of Li Hentian and Tuoba Lie.

In Qingyan City, Ji Changkong was grateful to Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang. This time he came from the Xiao family, he did not go to Yunmeng Daze immediately, but planned to visit Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang in Qingyan City.

Everything in Qingyan City was as old as before, and there was no change. However, after entering Qingyan City, he found that there were many more guards in the city than before. The faces of the guards were quite solemn, as if they were secretly guarding against something.

Ji Changkong, who was confused, was not familiar with the guards of Qingyan City, so he went straight to the city lord's mansion where Nie Yuanshan was.

...

Nie Yuanshan has been very unhappy recently.

Over the past month, several celestial scholars in southern Yi clothing were active around Qingyan City and attacked some nearby celestial scholars. Dozens of celestial scholars and celestial scholars in Qingyan City were all poisoned by the Nanyi celestial scholars.

At the beginning, Nie Yuanshan sent guards in the city to investigate the Nanyi Tianshi. Not only did they fail to catch the Nanyi people, but several guards also disappeared quietly. Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang took action personally, and the whereabouts of the Nanyi Tianshi were unable to be found. There were still Tianshi and civilians nearby.

The people in the city were panicked and began to question Nie Yuanshan's ability as the lord of the city. The Tianshi Sect in Qingyan City, led by the Yinshan Jiu family and the Jia family, secretly used their efforts to fan the flames from the Huangfu family in Tianshui City, hoping to replace his status as the lord of Qingyan City.

Among them, the Jiu family in Yinshan contacted Wang Po, the prime minister of Shuiyun Kingdom. With his help, Jiu Wuji, the leader of the Jiu family, and Huangfu Jingwei, the Huangfu family, was hooked up with Huangfu Jingwei. Huangfu Jingwei actually visited the Jiu family and he also gave Nie Yuanshan a deadline. If Nie Yuanshan could not solve the Nanyi people who attacked Qingyan City within seven days, he would give up the position of the city lord.

Three days have passed, Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang are looking for the whereabouts of the Southern Yi people, but they have found nothing.

Seeing that the deadline was about four days, Nie Yuanshan still could not find any clues about the Southern Yi people. However, the geniuses in Qingyan City such as the Jiu family and Jia family kept sending people to urge Nie Yuanshan to abdicate as soon as possible so that their families could deal with the threat of the Southern Yi around Qingyan City.

Nie Yuanshan was at a loss.

"Shao Kang, can't you find those Nanyi Tianshi?" Nie Yuanshan asked helplessly in the city lord's mansion.

Shao Kang bowed slightly, and was still frowning, shook his head and sighed: "After Huangfu Jingwei gave the deadline, the Southern Yi people suddenly disappeared and there was no trace at all."

"Four days, four days left..." Nie Yuanshan murmured.

"Ruolan, Miss Ruolan..." Shao Kang was stuttering, wondering if he wanted to tell Nie Yuanshan the news he had recently obtained.

His face darkened, and Nie Yuanshan shouted, "What's going on?" Nie Ruolan was his treasure. When he heard Shao Kang mention Nie Ruolan, Nie Yuanshan asked hurriedly.

"The lady was so angry that she was forced by the Yinshan Jiu family. She went to Yinshan alone and asked the Jiu family to argue. It seemed that she had hurt people in the Yinshan Jiu family. Jiu Wuji... Jiu Wuji had just sent someone over and said that the lady was temporarily detained by them and asked the adults to come and take the people in person." Shao Kang looked helpless and shook his head and sighed.

"What a nonsense!" Nie Yuanshan was full of anger and paused for a moment. Nie Yuanshan pointed the finger at the Jiu family and said angrily: "Jiu Wuji is becoming more and more arrogant! In the past, he would only send people to send Ruolan over. Now that he has climbed Wang Bai and Huangfu Jingwei, he dares to get people!"

"How could I know that Jiu Lingxue would be Wang Bai's granddaughter? How could I know that this girl could reach the peak of the Five Elements Heaven so quickly? Alas, if it weren't for the girl Jiu Lingxue, how could Wang Bai care about the affairs of their Jiu family..." Shao Kang sighed lightly.

Jiu Lingxue's mother was originally just a niece of Wang Bai. Although the Jiu family had more or less a relationship with Wang Bai, Wang Bai had never cared about the Jiu family's affairs and did not recognize the Jiu family as his in-laws.

It was not until Jiu Lingxue's realm advanced rapidly and reached the Four Symbols Heaven in a short time that Wang Bai, who learned about this, realized that he had such an extraordinary granddaughter. As the prime minister of the Shuiyun Kingdom, Wang Bai also had the cultivation of the Bagua Heaven realm. Over the years, he was loyal to the Huangfu family, and had many powerful gods gathered around him, and the deep trust of the Huangfu family.

After Wang Bai knew that Jiu Lingxue was a rare cultivation genius in a century, he sent someone to receive Jiu Lingxue to Tianshui City. With Wang Bai's help, Jiu Lingxue obtained more rare cultivation materials and more powerful secret skills of the Tianshi, and was taught by Wang Bai himself.

Jiu Lingxue did not disappoint Wang Bai's high expectations. In just two years, Xiao Xiaonian Jing has become a celestial master at the peak of the Five Elements Heaven. Her extraordinary qualifications have been highly valued by Wang Bai. It is precisely because of Jiu Lingxue that Wang Bai truly accepted the Jiu family.

As the prime minister of Shuiyun Kingdom, Wang Bai is also an ambitious person. In order to penetrate his power into every corner of Shuiyun Kingdom, he began to make profits for the Yinshan Jiu family. He wanted to master Qingyan City through the Yinshan Jiu family to make his power stronger.

"Ju Lingxue, Jiu Lingxue, this girl is really a genius. Oh, if Ruolan had her qualifications, the Nie family would have helped us with all their strength. Wang Bai is the prime minister. As the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, my uncle is not inferior to him. It's just that there are more Huangfu Jingwei in the middle, so he has some concerns. But if Ruolan can be like Jiu Lingxue, even if he offended Huangfu Jingwei, he will help us."

Nie Yuanshan looked helpless.

"Sir, the lady is still in the hands of the Jiu family..." Shao Kang reminded him, interrupting Nie Yuanshan's beautiful fantasy.

Nodded, Nie Yuanshan stood up with a wry smile and sighed, "Let's go, let's go to Yinshan. Alas, this time Ruolan has a handle in his hands, and we will suffer from the cold words of the Jiu family again in the past."

"As long as you can get the lady back, it's okay to be rolled down by someone a little." Shao Kang shook his head, "I'm afraid that they will make things difficult for us through this incident, and then raise the affairs of those people in Nanyi to force us. Lord, be sure to keep calm at that time. Huangfu Jingwei is there, so don't make a big fight in the Jiu family."

"I will try my best to control my temper." Nie Yuanshan's smile on his face became even more bitter. "At worst, I don't want this city lord position. They are all staring at this position. I really don't know what's good about this position. Shao Kang, after this matter is over, we might as well ignore everything and find a quiet place to practice with peace of mind."

"I will follow you wherever you go." Shao Kang smiled slightly. The two of them were named Master and servant, but they were also the most intimate friends.

"Uncle Nie! Uncle Shao!"

Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang walked out of the city lord's mansion. A surprise voice fell into his ears, and then he saw a calm and straight young man walking towards them with a smile.

Nie Yuanshan was stunned at first, looked carefully, and then shouted in surprise: "Changkong, why are you back? Hey, after not seeing each other for a few years, you have grown a lot taller and stronger, your spirit has been restrained, and you almost can't recognize it."

Shao Kang smiled rarely and nodded at Ji Changkong with a smile.

"I have something to go to Yunmeng Daze and come over to visit Uncle Nie and Uncle Shao." Ji Changkong smiled happily. Seeing the hurried look on his face, he asked in surprise: "Uncle Nie, do you have something to go out? Have I disturbed you?"

Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang ignored it, and their smiles became more and more bitter, but Nie Yuanshan did not tell the dispute between him and the Yinshan Jiu family, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Changkong, you should take a break in the city lord's mansion first. I have something to do with you and I will go out for a while and come back to chat with you."

"Do you need help if you have something?" Seeing that the two of them looked something wrong, Ji Changkong asked.

"It's okay, it's really okay. You go in and take a break first, and we'll come." Nie Yuanshan shook his head hurriedly, winked at Shao Kang, and hurriedly walked outside.

Recalling the strange expression of the guards in the city, Ji Changkong felt confused and slowly walked towards the direction of the city lord's mansion.

"Sir, Changkong, Changkong is now famous and has unfathomable strength. Maybe he can help us..." After the two of them walked away, Shao Kang suddenly whispered to Nie Yuanshan.

"We have no choice but to do anything, what can he do?" Nie Yuanshan shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang talked in a low voice, and their figures gradually faded away.

However, Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang did not know how awesome Ji Changkong, who had practiced the Taixu Secret Record, had a sharp facial features. Although they were dozens of feet apart, his conversation with Shao Kang was not a word for Ji Changkong's ears.

This is not that Ji Changkong had the intention to listen to their speeches, but his ears were so sensitive now. Even if he was unwilling to listen, he still knew the content of the conversation between Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang.

Ji Changkong, who was already confused, immediately confirmed that Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang had encountered a difficult problem. Their figures gradually faded away and slowly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people. Ji Changkong, who had already reached the gate of the city lord's mansion, suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Changkong asked the guard at the door with a smile: "Two brothers, do you know what trouble the city lord has encountered?"

The two guards in front of the city lord's mansion did not change. They all recognized Ji Changkong. When they heard Ji Changkong's inquiry, they ignored them and smiled bitterly at the same time. One of them stumbled and said frankly: "Today, the Jiu family in Yinshan sent someone over and said that they had locked Miss Ruolan in Yinshan and asked the city lord to go to Yinshan to bring people in person."

"Oh?" Ji Changkong sneered: "Has Jiu Wuji taken the courage of the ambitious leopard? In the sphere of influence of Qingyan City, he dared not to get along with the city lord?"

"The Jiu family has now reached the prime minister Wang Bai of the current dynasty. Now even Huangfu Jingwei of the Huangfu family is visiting Yinshan. The Jiu family is no longer the former Jiu family. Maybe in a few days, the city lord's mansion will change its owner..." Another guard said something, revealing some content that others didn't know.

Ji Changkong's face changed slightly, "Two brothers, can you tell me in detail what's going on?"

These two guards of the City Lord's Mansion have been following Nie Yuanshan for so many years. Nie Yuanshan treats people kindly and works fairly and fairly, and are deeply loved by these guards. They have been in the City Lord's Mansion for many years and have heard of some deeds about Ji Changkong. They know that this young man from the Ji family who had been depressed for seventeen years has now soared to the sky and has a reputation.

The two felt that Ji Changkong might be able to help Nie Yuanshan, so they did not hesitate too much and pushed all the things that happened in Qingyan City to him in full swing without hiding them.

"Thank you, two brothers." Ji Changkong bowed and turned around and left with a gloomy face.

"The City Lord seems to be reluctant to let him know these things. Is it against the City Lord's original intention when we do this?" After Ji Changkong left, one of the guards murmured.

"The city lord is kind to others. He never treats us as a person or treats us in daily life. But Jiu Wuji heard that he is very arrogant. If he is allowed to be the city lord, our life will definitely be difficult. At that time, maybe all of us will be replaced by the children of the Jiu family." The other person shook his head and said.

"But, can Ji Changkong really help the city lord? Although I heard that he has been doing well outside over the years, he is still young after all, and he is not the head of the Ji family..."

"Who knows, we can only do our best to do our best. I hope he can help a little."

They didn't have much confidence in Ji Changkong, but they just did it with their hearts.

Yinshan.

The ancient trees on the mountain cover the sky. Even the scorching sun at noon is difficult to penetrate the layers of huge branches and leaves and shine on the ground. Because the mountain is gloomy and dull all year round, it is called Yinshan.

Yinshan is northeast of Qingyan City, and the spiritual energy on the mountain is quite strong. It is said that because there is no sunshine on the mountain all year round, the common people in Qingyan City all believe that Yinshan is suitable for the scenes of the deceased.

For a long time, Yinshan was treated as a cemetery. The people of Qingyan City used to like to bury the dead in their homes in Yinshan. I wonder if there were too many dead in Yinshan. Gradually, Yinshan, which had never seen the sun all year round, became blew of yinshan, and often cried ghosts.

After a while, the people of Qingyan City did not dare to go to Yinshan to bury the dead. Later, after the Jiu family lived in Yinshan, the Jiu family was strong and did not allow ordinary people to walk around Yinshan. Gradually, Yinshan was covered with a layer of mysterious veil, and many people regarded Yinshan as a dangerous place.

However, since the Jiu family occupied Yinshan, they have built many unique houses in Yinshan, diverting water and creating wood, and leveraging the advantages of Yinshan gathering Yinqi, making Yinshan heavier while also adding some special areas with strong spiritual energy in the world.

Among them, Xuanyin Pond is a spiritual land with unique uses.

Xuanyin Pool is composed of Yin water. The so-called Yin water is the underground water that never sees sunlight. Yin water is born in the area where the Yin energy is heavy. Some people who practice special secret techniques can use their souls to suck the Yin energy in the Yin water, so that the souls have some kind of vicious power.

In the Xuanyin Pool, Jiu Lingxue sat inside in white, her eyes closed and her body was covered in green air.

Jiu Lingxue's long hair was raised, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were also pale. If she hadn't been breathing gently, if the ordinary people in Qingyan City accidentally saw her, they would probably think she was a female ghost in the water. In this way, there would be another rumor that there were many evil ghosts in Yinshan in Qingyan City.

Jiu Lingxue's breath was weak and her heartbeat was almost not beating. She didn't know if her long hair was stained with the thick yin energy in the Xuanyin Pool, but it turned into a strange dark blue color. Jiu Lingxue, who had her eyes closed tightly, had her vitality disappeared as she practiced. A beautiful and moving woman had her yin energy and death energy gradually became heavier.

"Sister!" Jiu Yunfeng walked to the edge of Xuanyin Pool and shouted anxiously: "Why are you in Xuanyin Pool again? It is not a good thing to use the Yin Qi in Xuanyin Pool to practice Yin Jue Gong every day. Because Yin Jue Gong is too vicious, even the ancestors left a will. After they reach the third level, they are not allowed to continue practicing. Why do you always refuse to listen?!"

Jiu Lingxue opened her eyes, and her pupils were actually terrifyingly white. She let out a few breaths and stopped the Yin Jue Gong in her practice. Only then did the white pupils gradually return to normal.

"Yunfeng, you won't understand." Jiu Lingxue said coldly.

"Isn't it because of that Ji Changkong? Huangfu Zhu and the others said that Ji Changkong has reached the realm of Liuhetian, and he has the power of a Bagua Heavenly Man, which stimulated you. They might be talking nonsense. Even if it is true, that kid is Xuanyuan of the new generation of the Ji family. Why do you have to compete with him?" Jiu Yunfeng said furiously.

"That's true, grandpa and the others are not willing to admit defeat. Even if you practice Yin Jue Gong, what should you do if you really practice something wrong with it?"
