Volume 9 Chapter 31 Ji Ning's Letter

  However, it's now Chinese New Year, so Jiǔ Huǒ and his men didn't immediately go to disturb Ji Ning. They set off on the 16th of the first month to head towards Yì Shé Hú (Winged Snake Lake).

  Wingsnake Lake, Mingxin Island.

  Inside the study room.

  Ji Ning was standing in front of the desk, holding a brush to write big characters, while Autumn Leaf was helping to grind ink. Writing with a brush was also one of Ji Ning's hobbies over the past few years and one of his methods for cultivating his mind and sword.

  Every stroke is like a sword flashing horizontally and vertically.

  Ji Ning's sword... had a powerful sword intent that came rushing forth.

  "The young master's writing, the sword intent is getting stronger and stronger." Akira secretly admired, "My swordsmanship was taught by the young master himself, and it's already at a perfect level. But just looking at this character, I feel my heart trembling, without any resistance. In these few years, the young master's sword intent has become more and more astonishing."

  No one knows how powerful Ji Ning will be nine years later, but the few times he has made a move while occasionally performing tasks for the Dragon Guards have already caused all parties to tremble.

  The most successful battle was when Ji Ning beheaded the 'Poisonous Dove True Man'.

  It is known that cultivators who walk the evil path, entangled in sin and guilt, generally have combat power far surpassing their peers. The Poisonous Ancestor was among the best of them, able to escape from Yuanshen Dao Ren's hands, but never having escaped from Ji Ning's hands! This has led outsiders to speculate... just what level had Ji Ning's strength reached?

  Only the autumn leaves closest to Qin Ning have a more precise sense of smell.

  "The young master's writing, his sword intent has been constantly improving, making tremendous progress. Even compared to three years ago, there has been a qualitative transformation. Not to mention compared to nine years ago." Akira thought to herself.

  "Alright."

  Ji Ning put down his pen and smiled, saying, "Autumn Leaf, take this character away and burn it."

  "Yes, young master." Akira replied obediently. At first, when Ji Ning wrote the characters earlier and instructed her to burn them away, Akira was somewhat reluctant. At that time, she had said: "Young master, these are such wonderful characters! I can even feel the surging sword intent within them. Leaving these characters in the clan for the younger generations to admire would be a good thing too."

  At that time, Ji Ning said: "I write every day, after many years, how much should I accumulate? Moreover, these are all my casual writings, not worth keeping. I will leave one piece of writing each year and store it in the tribe. As for the rest, burn them all."

  Ji Ning said it once and then Qiu Ye didn't ask any more questions.

  "Your Highness, Your Highness." A sudden voice came from outside.

  Ji Ning raised her head.

  "Then he walked out and asked: 'What's going on.'"

  The maid outside the door said: "The clan leader and others have arrived, they are waiting in the reception hall."

  "Really, Uncle Liu?" Ji Ning smiled and instructed, "I'll come right over."

  "Help me clean up." Ji Ning looked at the autumn leaves on one side, and the autumn leaves also nodded. Some commonly used items by Ji Ning... were usually personally taken care of by the autumn leaves, and it was forbidden for ordinary maids to touch them, especially those that contained sword intent like Ji Ning's words... which might directly scare some martial artists to death with the sword intent emitted by the words!

  Ordinary innate spirits would be frightened to the point of collapse, and Autumn Leaf was also a student of Ji Ning's lineage, with extremely high swordsmanship skills, and usually felt palpitations.

  ……

  Living room.

  Wearing a beast skin robe, Ji Ning walked in with a smile. Upon seeing the four people inside - Ji Liuzhen, Ji Jiu Huo, Ying Po Po and old servant Ah Xing - he couldn't help but be surprised and laughed: "I thought it was just Uncle Liuzhen, didn't expect you three elders to come too. With all four of you here, it must be something big."

  "It's something big." Ji Liuzhen nodded.

  "Speak, what's the matter." Ji Ning sat down directly.

  Ji Jiuhuo and Ji Liuzhen exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

  Ji Liu Zhen Cai said: "Ji Ning, you also know that since I had your help, the power of my Ji family has begun to increase rapidly and naturally started to expand."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Any tribe, after becoming powerful, will expand! I also went to the 'Yinglong Guard Branch' and exchanged some merit for some techniques that can be passed on to the tribe. It's worth noting that there are some cultivation techniques that slightly stronger tribes will have. So these techniques, the Yinglong Guard Branch will also allow to be passed on to the tribe, but the exchangeable merit will be much higher.

  Ji Ning carried out several tasks for this purpose as well.

  Apart from the Law Gate, Ji Ning had also prepared Yuan Liquid and Spiritual Pills, and occasionally personally guided them. As a result, there were now over ten Purple Mansion cultivators in the Ji clan, with three of them having left Yan Mountain to join sects.

  "Like the Kou and Bianhe tribes, my Ji tribe has also had a long-standing relationship with them." Ji Liuzhen sighed, "However, when it comes to the prosperity of our tribe, I couldn't be soft-hearted and let them take the initiative to migrate and leave Yanshan."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  He knew these things and wasn't surprised.

  Like Dongyan Clan, their ancestral home occupied tens of thousands of miles of mountain ranges, equivalent to over a hundred Yanshan Mountains! Like Xuelong Mountain, it also occupies a large area as its own mountain gate. Of course, like Heibai Academy, which takes the elite route, does not need such a large territory. But that is a sect, Heibai Academy can recruit talented disciples from outside the world.

  But for the tribe, they believe more in their own tribal sons and daughters, and the prosperity of the tribe naturally requires a larger territory.

  "Nowadays, the entire Yanshan only has the Xuelongshan branch that has not moved. Ji Liuzhen said, "Other forces have all moved one by one, but the Xuelongshan Yanshan branch relies on the back of Xuelongshan and doesn't care about my Jishi at all. They even openly say that if I, Jishi, dare to invade, they will dare to kill. Obviously, they are always ready for war. Although my Jishi has a solid foundation over the years, the Xuelongshan Yanshan branch behind has the support of the sect's continuous resources, and in a real war... it would be very difficult for me, Jishi."

  Ji Ning listened clearly and frowned, saying: "This Yan Shan branch is so unaware of advance and retreat?"

  "They figured out that the Ji family wouldn't dare to fight them, and even sent an envoy to see me, saying they won't expand, but also won't relocate, with a very tough attitude." Ji Liuren gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, speaking of which, when our Ji family was weak in the past, Dongzi Qi led the Yanshan branch to threaten us, even wanting to destroy our Ji family. Now that they see you're not easy to mess with, they say they won't expand... where is the 'won't expand'... it's just that they don't have the power to expand!"

  When you're weak, saying anything won't make a difference, it's just putting gold on your face.

  At first, when the Yanshan branch was strong, wasn't it gradually infiltrating and expanding its territory? It was actually an outsider who became the strongest force in Yanshan.

  "Ji Ning, what should the Ji clan do now?" Ji Liuzhen looked at Ji Ning, "Our decision now will also affect the entire tribe. We can't afford to be even slightly negligent."

  "This Yan Shan branch really doesn't know its own strength, a small branch like this dares to be so presumptuous." Ji Ning frowned and said directly, "I'll write a letter with my own hand, leave it with Zhen Shu, you send someone to deliver it to the Yan Shan branch. Also, after sealing this letter, absolutely do not open it, I will set up some restrictions on it."

  "Good." Ji Liuzhen nodded.

  Ji Ning immediately took out a piece of animal skin paper and wrote a letter.

  Ji Jiu Huo, Ying Po Po, Ji Liu Zhen, and Old Servant A Xing were all watching from the side, their faces changed color after seeing it.

  "This, this won't be too much, will it?" Jiǔ Huǒ worried.

  "Don't worry." Ji Ning said calmly, "Snow Dragon Mountain, I really didn't put it in my eyes."

  It's been nine years.

  His own strength, Ji Ning was naturally the clearest about it.

  In the Black and White Academy for more than three years, he was able to comprehend the two forms of "Three Chi Sword". Now nine years have passed, and there is also Shui Fu... Ji Ning had long since broken through the fourth floor of the Battle God Temple and selected a treasure from the Treasure Hall. Now Ji Ning's strength compared to nine years ago, that is far beyond countless times.

  "Rush into Xue Long Shan? That's the foundation of its mountain gate, I don't know how many tricks are hidden inside, even immortals dare not to enter rashly, my current strength is still not enough. But outside... without the support of various arrays within the mountain gate, I'm really not afraid of the Yuan Shen Dao people from Xue Long Shan." Ji Ning thought to himself.

  Xue Long Shan has a backing, and its backing is An Bangbei North Mountain!

  In Anju County, the forces generally either surrender to the Beishan clan of Anju or surrender to the Yinglongwei branch!

  Ke Ji Ning also has a backstage!

  He is closer to An Bing's Beihushan clan and has Master Diancai Xianren backing him up!

  ……

  That evening.

  In the territory of Yanshan, Xuelong City is also the only city in the branch of Yanshan Snow Dragon Mountain. As for the other two cities... At that time, when Dongzi Qi and others died, there were two ministerial orders obtained by Ji Shi. With the ministerial order, Ji Shi's current strength is strong, and naturally easily got the two cities.

  Xuelong City, but it seems like a nail, nailed in the territory of Yanshan.

  "An envoy of the Ji clan?"

  "Hmph, this little Ji Clan is only thriving because of that kid named Ji Ning. How old is he... Although his potential is astonishing, who knows when he'll fall. So many geniuses have died on the path to immortality." A silver-haired elder's face looked unpleasant.

  His name is Xu Fang, and he is the master of Xuelong City.

  The current Yanshan branch is controlled by the Xu family, which is one of the stronger clans in Xuelong Mountain. There are many Wanxiang True People alone, but when "Xu Lizhen" died, the Xu family was furious. At that time, when the Xuelong Mountain sect was about to arrange someone to go to the Yanshan branch, the Xu family volunteered.

  Ke Jingning's progress is too astonishing, the true leader of Xue Long Shan, 'Permitted Truthful Person' Xu, was so scared that he returned to the sect, leaving only the Zi Fu repairman 'Xu Fang' in charge here.

  After all, for Ji Ning, killing Wanxiang Zhenren was like killing a chicken, and Xu Ke Zhenren naturally did not dare to take this risk. Only in some major events would Xu send a message to the Xu Ke Zhenren within the sect.

  "Xu Fang, this is a letter from our young master." said an old man with a cold tone.

  Grand Hall

  Xu Fang sat on top of the grand hall, with three other Zifu Sect cultivators beside him.

  "Your family's young master?" Xu Fang couldn't be bothered to scold the other for being rude, he was startled by the two words "young master". The direct descendant who gave him the handwritten letter... was actually the rumored Ji Ning of Winged Snake Lake!

  The other three Zifu disciples in the hall were also frightened, they could be disdainful of Ji Liuyi and others, but for the legendary Winged Snake Lake Ji Ning, they still had a deep-seated fear.

  "Take it." Old Man Ji directly threw the letter over.

  Xu Fang reached out to receive it, and the other three monks beside him also came closer.

  Unfurled the rolled-up animal hide.

  The sword intent that came suddenly from above first made the four people of Xu Fang's family tremble with fear, and their legs all went soft.

  "The Yanshan branch of the Xu family, you have ten days to get out of Yanshan. If you haven't relocated by then, don't blame me for being ruthless." Such a casual sentence, yet it carries an overbearing tone! Usually, the Ji and Yanshan branches just bickered with each other, but this letter from Ji Ning left no room for compromise.

  Must move within ten days, otherwise take action!

  "This, this......" Xu Fang glared with anger and roared, "This completely doesn't put Snow Dragon Mountain in their eyes! Report to the sect, inform the sect!!!"

  The words had just fallen.

  Wow

  The forbidden spell on the beast skin ignited the flames between heaven and earth, and in an instant, the beast skin was burned to ashes.

  The first update is here!
