Chapter 444 - 444 423 Has Lu Chuan Run Away_1

444: Chapter 423: Has Lu Chuan Run Away?_1 444: Chapter 423: Has Lu Chuan Run Away?_1 Ning Siquan did not expect Ning Xin to suddenly leap forward; his face changed dramatically as he quickly shouted at her, “What are you babbling about?

Get back to where you came from, now!”

Zhao Tong was also visibly anxious as she pulled Ning Xin back, scolding, “You silly girl, why would you say such reckless things at a time like this?

This will only harm you!”

Ning Xin still looked at the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest with dissatisfaction, not feeling she had done anything wrong.

She couldn’t stand this sanctimonious old thing slandering Lu Chuan.

Ning Siquan hurriedly bowed to the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest, apologizing, “Immortal, my daughter is ignorant, please don’t take offense at her words.”

The gaze of the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest fell on Ning Xin, and he sneered, “It seems to me that she’s anything but ignorant.”

He looked at Ning Xin and asked, “Young lady, you seem quite displeased with me.

Could it be that you don’t wish to disassociate yourself from this Lu Chuan?”

Ning Xin indignantly said, “Lu Chuan is my husband.

No matter how you intimidate me, I will always stand by his side.

Don’t think that just because you have some power, everyone will fear you.

Just wait until my husband returns, you’ll regret it!”

Ning Siquan was exceedingly anxious and shouted at Ning Xin, “Ning Xin!”

Zhao Tong was also at her wits’ end as she pulled Ning Xin and said, “You fool, I know you’re aggrieved, but we’re in a weaker position right now and have to bow our heads.

Don’t do anything foolish, please!”

Ning Xin, head held high and eyes blazing, was well aware of their current situation, but her temperament did not allow her to submit to these detestable people.

The Mountain Moving Taoist Priest laughed heartily, “I never thought that I, one day, would be reprimanded by someone from the secular world.

Girl, you’ve got spirit.”

“However, for a weak person to want to have spirit, there’s a price to pay.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Siquan felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.

He quickly moved in front of Ning Xin and pleaded with the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest, “Immortal, my daughter is just too naive and single-minded, resulting in her speaking to you with such an attitude.

She’s young and ignorant; I will definitely teach her well.

Please give her another chance.

I am willing to offer another 20% of the Ning family’s assets to appease your anger!”

The Mountain Moving Taoist Priest scoffed, saying, “Do you not realize that it’s already too late to be saying such things to me?”

With a flick of his finger, he sent Ning Siquan sprawling to the side, then turned to Ning Xin and said, “I guess this Lu Chuan must have known I was coming, so he hid himself away.

I was just worrying about how to find him; rather than that, I might as well make him come to me.

Lu Chuan is so important in your heart; I do wonder if you hold the same importance in his.

”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he clasped his hands together, forming a spell that he cast upon Ning Xin.

A terrifying force appeared, rapidly draining the life essence from Ning Xin’s body.

She aged visibly at a speed discernible to the naked eye, her hair turning white as if she had aged fifty years in an instant.

She collapsed to the ground, weak and frail.

“I’ve sapped the life force from your body.

From now on, you have only ten days left to live.

If you do not wish to die, let Lu Chuan come to find me within these ten days.

During this time, my apprentice and I will set up an arena and wait for him, meanwhile challenging the leaders of Capital City, so you people of the secular world can understand just how vast the gap is between you and us from the Penglai Immortal Domain.

”

“Remember, you have only ten days.

If Lu Chuan truly cares for you, he won’t just stand by and watch.”

He then turned to Ning Siquan, saying coldly, “As for the assets of your Ning family, in my eyes, they’re nothing more than trivial.

Keep them for now; in ten days, whether Lu Chuan comes or not, your Ning family will be eradicated from Capital City!”

Having said that, he turned and walked out of the residence.

Chiang Sheng and his two companions also looked at the people of the Ning family with arrogance before following the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest out.

Zhao Tong rushed to Ning Xin’s side, helping her up, and asked anxiously, “Xin, how do you feel?

Why do you have to be so foolish and take a stand at this time?”

Ning Xin’s face was weak, her once beautiful features now lined with wrinkles and remarkably aged, but she still mustered a smile and said, “Mom, I’m okay, don’t worry about me.

Lu Chuan will definitely save me!”

After speaking, she began to cough violently.

Zhao Tong, her face filled with distress, hurriedly said, “My silly child, don’t try to be strong; I’ll call a doctor for you right now!”

Ning Siquan walked over, his expression grave, and said, “That man’s abilities are akin to those of ghosts and gods, I’m afraid doctors will be of no help.

Now, our only hope lies in Lu Chuan, hoping he can deal with those four after his breakthrough.

”

By now, the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest had made his stance clear—he had no intention of letting the Ning family off the hook.

Therefore, Ning Siquan had no choice but to trust in Lu Chuan.

The people of the Ning family were all disheartened, wrapped in a heavy gloom.

The power displayed by the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest made them feel helpless, and if Lu Chuan couldn’t handle those four in ten days, not only would the Ning family be annihilated from Capital City, they were sure to suffer as well.

A sense of urgent crisis grew in everyone’s heart.

Ning Siquan knew how everyone was feeling and spoke out loudly to comfort them, “Everyone, there’s no need to worry.

Though those four were formidable, Lu Chuan is not to be underestimated.

He has left to seek a breakthrough, and when he returns, he will certainly be able to deal with those four.

The Ning family will surely be safe!”
