I Have A Martial Arts Panel-Chapter 297 - Core Sea Demon Sect’s Tactic?

Duan Chaofeng, who was about to become the new Harmony King, was ambushed by the Hidden Sect in his mansion and almost died.

When this news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

The forces in State Guqing and even the whole State Wansheng didn’t expect the Hidden Sect to be so arrogant.

Fortunately, the result was not bad. Duan Chaofeng himself did not suffer any injuries, while the people from the Hidden Sect were either captured or killed.

This also showed the strength of the Duan royal family to outsiders.

The news of the assassination attempt by the Hidden Sect spread, but the news regarding how the Third Young Master of the mansion, Duan Chaoyu, secretly communicated with the people of the Hidden Sect He to kill his brother to gain status, and how he helped the Hidden Sect infiltrate deep into State Guqing was kept under covers.

If this matter was spread, it would have a negative impact on the Harmony King Mansion, even the Duan royal family might be affected.

Therefore, only a small group of people knew about this. Except for the core circle of the Harmony King Mansion, only the big shots in the imperial capital knew about this.

After this matter calmed down, the imperial capital sent people to personally preside over Duan Chaofeng’s inheritance ceremony. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Duan Yunyi also attended.

From then on, Duan Chaofeng became the new Harmony King of State Guqing. After Duan Chaofeng became the Harmony King, Duan Yunyi left for the imperial capital a few days later.

This time, he really went over.

Duan Yunyi was only one step away from the ninth stage of the dao realm. He wanted to enter the imperial family’s forbidden land to further cultivate and break through realms.

Because after Duan Yunyi left the mansion, the mansion no longer had the protection of a powerful dao realm eighth stage master, so the Imperial Court specially sent a dao realm eighth stage master to protect Duan Chaofeng.

After all, since there had been an assasination attempt, the Imperial Court took this matter seriously.

After the assasination incident, Xu Ning received a lot of resources. On that day, after Xu Ning saved Duan Chaofeng, he also captured the pursuer alive. Afterwards, he also captured the two from the Hidden Sect who acted as bait alive.

This incident allowed Xu Ning to make a huge contribution once again.

As a reward, except for Liu Yi, who was handed over to the Imperial Court by Duan Yunyi, the spoils of war on the others all belonged to Xu Ning.

Among them, there were dao weapons, medicinal pills, spiritual herbs, strange artifacts and so on. In total, Xu Ning obtained resources worth nearly 20 million units of energy.

Even after returning the resources he borrowed from Zhang He, Xu Ning still had 21 million units of energy left.

Xu Ning only needed to obtain another 9 million units of energy to break through to the elementary origin realm of dao realm.

The elementary origin realm was the watershed of the dao realm. Once Xu Ning advanced, his strength would advance even further.

Not long after Duan Yunyi left for the imperial capital, Xu Ning would have to bid farewell to Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and the others.

According to the previous arrangement, Xu Ning would join the Core Sea Demon Sect and obtain a seed status.

“Xu Ning, take care!”

The two sides parted ways. The new Harmony King, Duan Chaofeng, personally sent Xu Ning

off.

Duan Chaofeng and Xu Ning had experienced several life-and-death crises together. The relationship between these two friends was already very deep, and in the future, they would borrow the convenience of each other’s identity and be tied with benefits.

“Don’t worry, Harmony King.”

At this moment, Xu Ning changed the way he addressed Duan Chaofeng.

“Xu Ning, if you encounter any trouble in the Core Sea Demon Sect, just say the name of the Harmony King Mansion. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time.”

Duan Chaofeng said.

“Okay!”

Xu Ning nodded.

“Brother Zhang, rest well. I hope that the next time I see you, you have already broken through to the dao realm seventh stage.”

Xu Ning turned his head and said to Zhang He.

Zhang He had been affected by the previous battle and suffered quite a few injuries. He had not completely recovered yet.

“I will try my best.”

Zhang He smiled.

Xu Ning did not stay any longer. He rode on a peak mid level dao realm demon beast given to him by Duan Chaofeng and flew towards the distant horizon.

Xu Ning had not yet achieved true flight. Only with the help of a flying demon beast would his speed be faster.

Duan Chaofeng looked over at the distant horizon where Xu Ning had disappeared. He stood there for a long time before returning to the mansion with Zhang He.

Xu Ning did not deliver the news to Gu Songying to let him come and fetch him to the Core Sea Demon Sect according to their previous agreement. Instead, he took the initiative to find Gu Songying.

The reason for this was because he needed to return to the Swallow Heron Sect in the middle of his journey.

After staying at the Swallow Heron Sect for a while and making some arrangements, Xu Ning left again. When Xu Ning arrived at State Fengling and found Gu Songying, Gu Songying was overjoyed. Since Xu Ning had agreed to join the Core Sea Demon Sect, as the person who referred him to the sect, Gu Songying would also be rewarded by the sect.

Therefore, Gu Songying gave up all his work and immediately rushed to the Core Sea Demon Sect with Xu Ning.

The location of the Core Sea Demon Sect was very close to the imperial capital. After learning about the relationship between the Core Sea Demon Lord and the Duan royal family’s grandmaster, Xu Ning did not find it strange.

“We’re here!”

Xu Ning and Gu Songying were both riding on the same flying demon beast.

The Core Sea Demon Sect was located on an inland island surrounded by lakes.

“Are we going in on a demon beast like this?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Yes.”

Gu Songying responded, “The internal affairs of the Core Sea Demon Sect are actually very relaxed. You can control beasts and fly freely in the sect, there are no restrictions about this.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“Although the Core Sea Demon Sect is a huge sect, the management of the sect is not strict. In addition to providing resources regularly and teaching knowledge, the Core Sea Demon Sect does not have much contact with the disciples of the sect.”

“Many disciples are actually enjoying the resources of the Core Sea Demon Sect, but have been drifting outside for a long time.”

reso

Gu Songying described the situation of the Core Sea Demon Sect to Xu Ning.

“All of them are wandering outside? Wouldn’t they be enjoying the benefits of the sect and providing nothing in return?”

Xu Ning asked again.

“The sect doesn’t need any returns.”

There was a hint of pride in Gu Songying’s tone when he said this.

Xu Ning remembered the Core Sea Demon Lord’s resume.

Indeed, the reason why he established the Core Sea Demon Sect was not to expand his sect, but to pass down his knowledge.

“But if this is the case, if the disciples don’t give back to the sect, then where does such a huge sect get their resources from?”

Xu Ning felt that even if the Core Sea Demon Lord was backed by the Duan royal family, they would not supply the resources of the Duan royal family to the Core Sea Demon Sect.

“A portion of it comes from the exchange of martial arts resources. As an external deacon, I am responsible for this.”

Gu Songying shook his head. “As for the other sect’s resources, the Sect Master and elders are responsible for that.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning nodded silently.

Afterwards, they rode a flying demon beast and entered the island.

“How is this a sect?”

Xu Ning looked down from the sky.

On this vast island, the buildings were arranged like villages in the outskirts, with people living in them.

Xu Ning discovered that there were not only powerful martial arts masters on this island, but also ordinary people.

Judging from this lifestyle, this place did not seem like a sect at all, but a large settlement.

“Doesn’t look like it, right?”

Gu Songying said, “Disciples of the Core Sea Demon Sect can travel around and not return to the sect. Similarly, they can also bring their wives and children to settle on the island. There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Core Sea Demon Sect, but the population on this island is more than two hundred thousand. Moreover, most of the disciples are outside the island, so these people are all relatives of the disciples.”

“Interesting!”

Xu Ning revealed a smile. Although it was called a demonic sect, the interior of the sect was full of the atmosphere of the mortal world.

Xu Ning, who was born in a village, had a good impression of this environment.

Xu Ning even thought that if he advanced to the high level of the dao realm, he could even bring his family here.

His family would definitely be able to get used to this kind of environment.

“Brother Xu, let’s find Elder Wei. He is in charge of the entry arrangements for seed disciples.”

Gu Songying led Xu Ning to a village.

There were men, women, old people, and children in the village, all busy with their own tasks.

After seeing Xu Ning and Gu Songying’s flying demon beast land, they just glanced sideways and ignored them.

Obviously, they were used to this scene.

After ordering the flying demon beast to wait, Gu Songying brought Xu Ning to a farmhouse.

“Elder Wei is inside. He is the head of the Wei family.”

Gu Songying reminded Xu Ning.

After entering the farmhouse, there was an old farmer wearing a hat. He was carrying a hoe and churning the soil in the ground.

Xu Ning glanced at it and noticed that the soil was not planted with spirit medicine or spirit plants, but ordinary vegetables.

“Elder Wei!”

Gu Songying bowed respectfully to the old farmer.

The old farmer looked up, revealing his wrinkled face.

He didn’t look like a dao realm master at all.

“Who are you?”

The old farmer glanced at Gu Songying.

There were too many people in the Core Sea Demon Sect, so he had no impression of a small character like Gu Songying.

“I am Gu Songying, an external deacon of the sect assigned to State Fengling.”

Gu Songying did not hesitate at all and quickly explained his intentions. “I came here to recommend a disciple with a seed token.”

“A disciple with a seed token?”

The old farmer threw away the hoe and took off his hat.

“Greetings, Elder Wei.”

Xu Ning bowed.

He could feel that this ordinary-looking Elder Wei was a genuine dao realm eighth stage master.

“Where is the token?”

The old farmer asked.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out the black bead he had obtained from the Core Sea Demon Lord’s mystic realm in the Abyss North and personally handed it to the old farmer.

The old farmer took it, looked at it, and nodded. “Yes, it’s a seed token.”

“This seed token should be from abroad.”

The old farmer did not return the seed token to Xu Ning, instead he put it away.

“Indeed, I am from the Abyss North.”

Xu Ning responded.

“Take this.”

The old farmer gave Xu Ning a black iron token.

After Xu Ning took it, he looked at it and saw that there was no mark on the black iron token.
