Chapter 604 Yun Shu's Decision
Chu Cunli could not help but panic.
He was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, while this person was in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm according to his spiritual sense perception. However, as both were in the Spiritualization Realm and had practiced in Leihuozhou for so many years, Chu Cunli knew very well that even a late-stage Spiritualization expert would not dare to walk like this in a thunderstorm.
The other party either had a treasure that could avoid thunder, or was a small group of the top geniuses in the Spiritualization Realm of the entire Cangtian Realm. But no matter which situation it was, it showed that the other party was a big shot that he and even his sect could not afford to offend.
In the world of cultivators, pointing a finger at a cultivator was a provocation, especially when it came to high-level cultivators who were stronger than themselves, which was disrespectful.
After scolding the woman, Chu Cunli showed a flattering smile on his face, but he did not dare to speak actively. He just looked up at the man who walked out of the thunderstorm, and the other three watched in silence.
In Chu Cunli's mind, it would be best for this person to leave directly and ignore them. Dealing with such a strong man might be taboo if he was not careful.
But what disappointed Chu Cunli was that after sensing them, this person actually stopped in front of them.
"May I ask all of you fellow Taoists, is this Leihuozhou?"
Chu Ning looked at the four people below, one in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm and three Yuanying cultivators. Such a combination would not pose any threat to him.
After leaving the sect, he did not go directly to the Zhongzhou Imperial City, but took the Zhongzhou Road to the eastern part of the Cangtian Realm to find the Yun family where Senior Yun was.
He chose to find the Yun family first because he knew that if he went to Zhongzhou, what he did in the Holy Academy would inevitably attract the attention of the major forces in Zhongzhou, and might even cause other disturbances. Once he was delayed by things, it might be a few years or even decades before he came to the east again.
Sihai Trading Company was still good to him. Since he had promised them something, he should do it as soon as possible to give them a reply.
Originally, the journey was quite peaceful, but just when he was about to leave the Zhongzhou territory, he suddenly encountered two Dongxu strongmen fighting. Even if he fled far away at the first time, the aftermath of the battle still affected him.
In desperation, he had to use the Aurora Wings to choose a direction to shuttle through space, but it was difficult to determine the direction when the Aurora Wings shuttled over a long distance, and Chu Ning was not sure whether he had arrived in the eastern area.
"Senior, this is Leihuozhou."
Chu Cunli replied quickly. The other party called him a Taoist friend, but he did not dare to really call himself a Taoist friend and put on an equal attitude.
It seems that his direction is correct.
After confirming that it was Leihuozhou, Chu Ning was relieved. According to the information given by Senior Yun, the Yun family was in the territory of Leihuozhou.
"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, do you know how to get to Jiyun City in Leihuo Continent?"
"Jiyun City?"
Chu Cunli thought for a moment, then apologized, "Excuse me, senior, I have never heard of Jiyun City. Maybe I am ignorant."
Chu Cunli said that he was ignorant because he had been practicing in Leihuo Continent for more than 2,000 years. He had been to most famous cities in Leihuo Continent, but he had never heard of Jiyun City. There was only one possibility, either Jiyun City was not in Leihuo Continent, or Jiyun City was too small, so small that he had never paid attention to it.
Although the environment in Leihuo Continent was harsh, there were many cities, tens of thousands of cities, and he only knew about a few thousand cities. He didn't care about the other small cities at all.
It's not that he has high standards, but the small cities in Leihuozhou are of little value. Even the sects will not be interested in those small cities because of the existence of thunderstorms. Many small cities were destroyed by thunderstorms in less than a hundred years or hundreds of years.
The cities that he can remember are all large cities with special lightning protection arrays and will not be destroyed by thunderstorms.
In Chu Cunli's opinion, the biggest possibility is that Jiyun City is a small city, and it may even have been destroyed by thunderstorms. Judging from the realm of the senior in front of him, he has been practicing for at least three thousand years. Maybe there was some cause and effect in Jiyun City before.
Chu Ning's face showed a thoughtful look. He was very clear about the ways of the world, and he figured out some information from the other party's words.
Jiyun City is not very famous in Leihuozhou.
This is different from what Senior Yun told him.
According to Senior Yun, the Yun family was one of the top families in Leihuozhou. Jiyun City was the base of the Yun family. There were tens of thousands of Yun family cultivators alone, and there were several powerful cave masters.
What happened to the Yun family?
"Excuse me."
Without getting the answer he wanted, Chu Ning was ready to leave, but at this moment Yun Shu was facing a struggle between heaven and man.
Jiyun City.
This name is very unfamiliar to the current cultivators in Leihuozhou, but he knew it and even remembered it deeply in his mind.
After he became the person with the highest cultivation level in the family, the old patriarch gave him a jade slip, which recorded the family's past secrets.
It was at that time that he knew that their Yun family had been extremely glorious, and half of the entire Leihuozhou was under the control of their Lei family, but later because an ancestor of the Yun family offended a terrorist force, the force directly arranged for a strong man to kill the Yun family.
If the old patriarch had not taken precautions in advance and arranged for some members of the Yun family to leave the family in advance, I am afraid that the Yun family would have been completely destroyed.
Jiyun City was also reduced to ruins by the actions of those powerful men, and has been completely forgotten by the cultivators of Leihuo Continent until now.
Yun Shu didn't know why the senior in front of him mentioned Jiyun City in advance. He was afraid that this person was the strong man who destroyed their Yun family as mentioned in the jade slip.
If so, then if he told the other party about Jiyun City at this moment, it would be very likely that he would expose his identity as a descendant of the Yun family.
The reason why he still kept the surname Yun was because there were many people with the surname Yun in Leihuozhou, so he would not be considered as a descendant of the Yun family who escaped. On the contrary, because of the surname Yun, the forces that destroyed the Yun family would not suspect him.
This is called doing the opposite!
Yun Shu was caught in a battle between heaven and man. Now the family was in crisis. If he couldn't get the earth fire, the family crisis could not be resolved, and now would be his only chance.
After three breaths, at the moment when Chu Ning turned around, Yun Shu finally made a decision.
"Senior, I know Jiyun City."
What Yun Shu didn't know was that Chu Ning, who had his back to him, didn't show any surprise on his face. After he spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had expected this scene.
In fact, with Chu Ning's current realm, his consciousness can not only sense everything around him, but also sense the emotional fluctuations of others.
When he said the three words "Jiyun City", the young man's emotions fluctuated violently, indicating that this person should know Jiyun City.
He was waiting for this person to speak.
"Junior Brother Yun, don't talk nonsense."
Chu Cunli scolded repeatedly, he was afraid that this senior would misunderstand that he was deliberately deceiving him.
After all, even his own nephew knew it, but he didn't know it, and the reason was not justified.
"Uncle Chu, when I went out once, I bought a jade slip, and I saw information about Jiyun City in this jade slip."
Yun Shu hurriedly explained, he didn't want to offend Uncle Chu.
"Oh, you know where Jiyun City is?"
Chu Ning looked at Yun Shu with a smile, and after hearing that this person's surname was Yun, he had some guesses in his heart.
"Senior, I can tell you about the news of Jiyun City, but I have a request."
When Yun Shu said this, he mustered up all his courage. It was a great challenge for him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, to negotiate with a strong man who even his uncle called himself a junior.
"Yun Shu, you are so presumptuous!"
Chu Cunli was furious, and another man beside him flashed an incredible look on his face. Is Yun Shu's brain broken?
Did he dare to negotiate with this senior?
If there was any valuable information, such as the whereabouts of a high-level spiritual medicine, it would be okay to say this, but if he dared to negotiate with the whereabouts of just a city, wouldn't he be courting death?
Even if this senior slapped Yun Shu to death at this moment, I'm afraid that his uncle and the sect would not stand up for Yun Shu, and even apologize to this senior.
"Yun Shu!"
Another woman had a worried look on her face. She didn't understand why Yun Shu suddenly said this. The Yun Shu she knew was not such a reckless person.
"Senior, I am a disciple of our sect and I hope you won't blame me for my disrespectful words."
After Chu Cunli scolded Yun Shu, he showed a flattering smile to Chu Ning: "Senior, don't worry, Yun Shu will definitely tell you everything he knows."
"No need."
Chu Ning raised his hand to stop Chu Cunli from saying anything, and looked at Yun Shu: "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Junior wants you to help me get a stream of earth fire in this mountain range."
For Yun Shu, if this senior is willing to help, the crisis of his family can be easily resolved, but Yun Shu thought for a moment and finally did not make this request.
First, this request may not necessarily be agreed by this senior, because it involves another party. This senior is strong, but I am afraid he is not willing to be a bad guy for a piece of information.
Another more important point is that he is afraid that this senior will be dissatisfied with him because of this matter, and will make things difficult for the Yun family. After all, with the strength of this senior, he doesn't even need to do it himself. As long as he shows such a thought, many people are willing to serve this senior to target their Yun family.
"Earth fire?"
Chu Ning's consciousness spread out, and he caught a fifth-level earth fire in the thunderstorm.
The fifth-level earth fire would be a bit troublesome even for ordinary gods. There are almost no cultivators below the gods who can resist the earth fire by their own strength. They must rely on some powerful magic weapons.
"Okay, then I will fulfill your wish!"
Chu Ning grabbed the mountain range covered by thunder and rain behind him with his right hand, and a flame suddenly broke out of the mountain, and several peaks turned into a sea of fire. In this sea of fire, a fire dragon roared out.
The fire dragon was hundreds of feet long. The moment it rushed out of the sea of fire, it kept roaring, and its body was shaking wildly. With a flick of its huge tail, a mountain peak was directly turned into charcoal.
But no matter how the fire dragon resisted, there was always an invisible pressure that controlled it, constantly dragging it towards this side, and the body of the fire dragon was constantly shrinking.
When everyone was a hundred feet away, the body had shrunk to three feet.
However, even so, Yun Shu and the other two still turned pale. The energy emitted by this fifth-level earth fire was difficult for them to bear in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Chu Cunli opened his mouth slightly for a moment, that was because he was shocked.
The fifth-level earth fire was so easily subdued, this method he had never heard of.
Even if he came to help Yun Shu subdue the fifth-order earth fire, according to the plan, he would first set up a formation to slowly consume the energy of the earth fire, and then suppress it so that Yun Shu could surrender.
Is this the difference between the middle and late stages of the transformation of the spirit?
The sect master is a late-stage strong man in the transformation of the spirit, but he doesn't think the sect master can do this.
This person is probably not relying on magic weapons to pass through the thunderstorm, but relying on his strength to prevent the thunder from striking him.
Is it a certain transformation of the spirit in the Cangtian world?
Chu Cunli began to match the transformation of the spirit in the Cangtian world he had heard of with the one in front of him, but it seemed that they didn't match.
"Do it."
Chu Ning looked at Yun Shu, and Yun Shu was stunned for a moment. Do it?
How can he do it?
If he walked over, he would be melted by the earth fire directly.
"Go with confidence. If this earth fire dares to melt you, I will make it completely disappear into ashes."
When Chu Ning said this, the fire dragon trembled, and the temperature of its body suddenly dropped by several degrees, so that Yun Shu and the other two no longer felt it.
The earth fire spirit surrendered.
Chu Ning knew the earth fire spirit very well. It was not easy for each earth fire spirit to be born, and it was even more difficult to grow to the fifth level. These earth fire spirits did not want to be destroyed.
Even if they were subdued, life would not be too difficult for the earth fire spirits, because those who subdued them would also try every means to make them upgrade their grades.
The temperament of these guys belongs to the kind of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When they meet someone who can beat them, they are very arrogant, but once they meet someone who can suppress them, they will immediately become timid.
"Why, I gave you the opportunity, but you don't dare to try?"
Seeing Yun Shu standing there without moving, Chu Ning had a mocking look on his face.
"Thank you, senior. I am willing to try."
The next moment, Yun Shu walked towards the fire dragon.
Hundred feet, fifty feet, thirty feet. When there was only ten feet left to the fire dragon, the fire dragon suddenly shook, but Yun Shu did not stop and continued to walk towards the fire dragon without fear.
Seeing Yun Shu's actions, Chu Ning had a touch of appreciation in his eyes. If he guessed correctly that this person was indeed a descendant of the Yun family, this character was not bad.
At a distance of one foot, the fire dragon suddenly roared and swallowed Yun Shu in one mouthful.
"Ah!"
The female cultivator couldn't help but screamed when she saw this scene. At this moment, Yun Shu's figure had disappeared and was completely swallowed by the sea of fire transformed by the fire dragon.
