Chapter 1053: Chapter 1042: What Nonsense Ning Family
Ning Family in Dragon City.
The night was vast, the moon hung alone in the sky, emitting an intoxicating silvery glow.
A few clouds were blown by the wind, swirling toward the moon.
Moments later, the moon was surrounded by clouds, and its light gradually dimmed.
At this dark and windy night, several people dressed in black quickly passed through the outer courtyard of the Ning Family in Dragon City, stopping at the foot of a gentle slope one kilometer from the exit of the inner courtyard.
“Reporting to Mr. Ning, I saw the person who made contact with the assassin appearing in Wantuo Grand Square today, appearing here again and entering the Ning Family inner courtyard.”
A member of the Shadow Team confirmed, “This matter is definitely related to the Ning Family.”
This slope was chosen by Ning Fan, who sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully sensing the condition of the True Yuan inside his body, before reopening his eyes.
“How many people from the Blood Cross entered the Ning Family’s inner courtyard?”
“Five.”
The Shadow Team member replied.
“Wait for them to come out.”
After Ning Fan said this sentence, he closed his eyes again.
Although his body’s recovery ability is already very strong now, coupled with the special mental method of the Eight Zen Decree, allowing him to almost heal his injuries within a few hours after being injured.
But ultimately there is still some inadequacy.
This also makes him eager to obtain the Nine Souls Jade in the hands of the Blood Cross.
Only by obtaining the Nine Souls Jade can his recovery ability be elevated to another level.
By that time, as long as the True Yuan within Ning Fan’s body is not extinguished, he can quickly recover from any damage.
With this ability, he will be invincible in this Martial Arts World!
Most members of the Shadow Team are only skilled at tracking and investigation, lacking in combat ability.
So today, only three were brought out by Ning Fan, specifically those responsible for hunting and ambush operations in the Shadow Team, and they are quite adept at such ambushes.
Therefore, although facing the largest family in Dragon City, the Ning Family, there was no trace of fear in their eyes.
Not only were they unafraid, they were exceptionally excited!
Challenging a powerful family seen as a giant by outsiders is something every man has fantasized about!
The moonlight gradually dimmed.
At this moment, within the Ning Family’s inner courtyard, a conversation was nearing its end, but the dispute between the two parties was growing more intense, and the air was thick with tension.
Seated at the head position, Ning Qingfeng frowned deeply, looking at the five Blood Cross members in front of him, with a hint of disdain in his voice, he coldly said, “Hmph, demanding a third of Dragon City and yet unable to deal with even one Ning Fan, is this the Blood Cross?”
“Young Master Ning, your words are inappropriate. We, the Blood Cross, have traversed the Martial Arts World for decades, never failing a single task. The death of Duan Yunliu was indeed due to our negligence, but please rest assured, he won’t have a second chance to escape alive!”
The five Blood Cross members stood without sitting on the stone stools prepared for them by Ning Qingfeng.
The person leading them wore a black hood over his head.
The black hood glimmered with a dark, enigmatic luster in the night.
His voice was hoarse, like wild grass scorched by fire, as he stared at Ning Qingfeng and whispered, “If Young Master Ning is uneasy, I can make a vow with you; if we cannot take Ning Fan’s head within three days, we will compensate Young Master Ning twice the losses.”
“Hmph, even if you can kill Ning Fan, a third of Dragon City is absolutely impossible.”
Ning Qingfeng’s eyebrows did not relax but furrowed deeper, his voice cold as ice for millennia, and he gritted his teeth, “Our Ning Family has been rooted in Dragon City for over a century to have today’s scale. Asking for a third of Dragon City as soon as you open your mouth, do you think I’m a pushover, Ning Qingfeng?”
“Young Master Ning is joking.”
The leader of the five Blood Cross members let out a strange laugh from his throat, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and said, “If I remember correctly, the Family Head of the Ning Family is already over seventy, and probably won’t hold out for much longer. But within the Ning Family, the first heir is not Young Master Ning, correct?”
“What do you mean?”
Upon hearing this person mention his soft spot, Ning Qingfeng snorted coldly, his face looking somewhat displeased.
“No meaning, just reminding Young Master Ning, the Ning Family that is truly yours is the one in your hands.”
The black-cloaked figure let out a weird laugh and continued, “If Young Master Ning is unwilling to cooperate with us, I can persuade the leader to negotiate with Ning Family’s Grand Duke. I believe your brother would not be so stingy and would offer us a generous reward.”
“Just at that time, after the Ning Family Family Head passes away, whether Young Master Ning still holds today’s status within the Ning Family would be hard to say.”
The Ning Family in hand is truly his family…
After the father dies, if he cannot ascend to the position of Family Head, what path should he take?
These two sentences pierced through Ning Qingfeng’s psychological defenses like an invisible arrow.
After a long silence, Ning Qingfeng spoke, “I agree with you. Bring Ning Fan’s head to see me in three days.”
“Hehe, those who know how to adapt are wise. Young Master Ning is indeed a contemporary hero, I am impressed.”
The black-cloaked figure let out a strange laugh and bowed to Ning Qingfeng, saying, “After Young Master Ning ascends to the position of Ning Family Head, if you have any thoughts about the eldest master of the Ning Family, feel free to contact our Blood Cross; we guarantee that no one will be able to tell…”
“Haha… Let’s go!”
Leaving a remarkable and intriguing statement, the black-cloaked figure laughed skyward, and swaggered out of the Ning Family inner courtyard with four subordinates, showing no regard for the mighty family mansion that had stood for over a century.
“This Blood Cross is truly audacious, why should the Master accommodate them!”
After the Blood Cross members left, the man in black behind Ning Qingfeng said angrily.
His family had served the Ning Family for three generations, the blood of the Ning Family ran through his veins, and he was also furious at the verbal insult Ning Qingfeng suffered earlier.
“Hmph, they’re just a few wild dogs. Let them be arrogant for a while, and after they clear the obstacles for my ascension, I’ll deal with them myself.”
Ning Qingfeng gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a bitter cold light.
At the same time, the Blood Cross members walked out of the Ning Family inner courtyard triumphant, accelerating their pace, like phantoms in the dark, rushing toward the suburbs.
“Hehe, what nonsense hundred-year family, just a bunch of weak chickens, sooner or later, this Dragon City will be under the flag of our Blood Cross!”
The black-cloaked figure glanced back at the Ning Family inner courtyard, a flash of disdain in his eyes.
However, just as he and his subordinates were triumphantly making their way back to headquarters, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
