"Cao Shengtian is dead?"

In the early morning, as soon as Ning Cheng opened his eyes, he received this explosive news from Elder Gao!

Ning Cheng asked, "Is it possible that the aftereffects of the elixir were too great and he died directly?"

Mr. Gao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but I heard he was discovered today and died in the Cao family's territory."

Ning Cheng frowned slightly, he always felt that there was something strange about this incident. Although Cao Shengtian's death meant that the dark team had one less enemy, this incident still felt something was not right.

If Cao Shengtian knew how terrifying the effect of the elixir was, there would be no need to escape once he swallowed it. Since he was about to die, he would definitely take a few people with him to support him before he died.

But judging from Cao Shengtian's behavior last night, he definitely felt that he still had a chance to survive.

Then why did Cao Shengtian die?

Ning Cheng's frown deepened... Could it really be because of the efficacy of the elixir?

Seemingly seeing the expression on Ning Cheng's face, Gao Lao said, "Young Master, I think we are about to start deploying. With the Cao family's intelligence methods, we will definitely be able to investigate a trace of suspicion. Then it will probably be another battle."

Battle!"

Ning Cheng nodded and asked, "Is the branch of the Cao family separated from the main line today?"

Gao Lao said, "Yes, this news has also spread in the ancient martial arts world. Although it is not as exciting as Cao Shengtian's death, it still has people talking about it. Some even say that Cao Shengtian's death is most likely related to the branch!"

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "Now let's wait and see the attitude of the main branch of the Guwu Cao family. I always think that they will take out their anger on the people in the branch first."

Mr. Gao nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

"Teacher, let me go to the Cao family branch. After all, the Cao family branch can be regarded as the victim in this incident."

Mr. Gao nodded and said, "Then I will go to the secret team to make arrangements first, and keep an eye on the attitude of the main line of the Cao family at all times!"

"good!"

The two left the courtyard.

Ning Cheng rushed to the Cao family branch.

At the same time, there was another place, also somewhere in Yuling Mountain.

This is the main line of the Guwu Huang family.

The head of the Huang family learned the news of the death of Cao Shengtian, the head of the Cao family, early in the morning, so Huang Long, the head of the Huang family, immediately held a high-level meeting.

Even the ancestor of the Huang family, who had been in seclusion for many years, came out of seclusion.

...

conference room.

"Ancestor, this is everything that has happened recently, what do you think we should do?" Huang Long asked respectfully.

The old man sitting on the main seat seemed to be asleep. After a long time, he said, "Don't worry about the Cao family. I have been keeping a low profile recently. There is no need to provoke people from the secret team."

Huang Long frowned and said, "Ancestor, this time the secret team destroyed the Li family, I'm afraid..."

The ancestor of the Huang family said, "Don't take anything you haven't seen with your own eyes seriously. Sometimes even what you see with your own eyes may be fake... I'm going out for a trip. Remember what I said. Don't provoke the dark people at this time.

Formed... If possible, the heirs of the king of the dark group should make good friends. In this regard, the people of the Guwu Zhang family have done better than you, and they have not participated from the beginning to the end!"

Huang Long was said to be ashamed of himself by the ancestors of the Huang family. Yes, until now, no one from the main lineage of the Guwu Zhang family has taken action, just like what the dark group did by default.

Their behavior proves the saying, it has nothing to do with you, just worry about it!

"Okay, let's leave the matter as it is. Let's adjourn the meeting." The ancestor of the Huang family said.

"By the way." The ancestor of the Huang family seemed to have thought of something and said, "Can't the black coffin bought from the ruins last time still be opened?"

Huang Long nodded awkwardly and said, "Huang Zaitian has died in the ruins, and... no news of the key has been spread at all!"

"Okay." The old man nodded and said, "Keep looking. This may be an opportunity for our Huang family!"

"yes!"

...

When Ning Cheng came to the Cao family, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the Cao family had become different.

There was no long queue of people coming here to buy elixirs today, and even the door of Cao's house, which was originally open, was closed.

Ning Cheng walked to the door and knocked hard several times.

After a long time, a voice came from inside the door.

"Who is it? The elixir is not for sale today." Cao Zhong's voice came from the door.

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Senior Cao Zhong, it's me, Ning Cheng!"

"Little friend Ningcheng?"

Cao Zhong heard Ning Cheng's voice and immediately said, "Okay, wait for me and I'll open the door!"

"Okay." Ning Cheng nodded.

Not long after, the door to the Cao family was slowly opened.

Cao Zhong walked out, cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng and said, "I'm sorry, special circumstances require special treatment."

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "That's what I came here for today."

Cao Zhong immediately said excitedly, "Little friend Ningcheng, please go inside quickly. If the master and the young lady find out, they will definitely be very happy."

"Um."

Ning Cheng didn't waste any time and walked in directly.

The originally lively Cao family has now become a bit more serious. On the surface, it looks like the entire Cao family has been evacuated.

Ning Cheng dispersed his senses and found that there was no one in many rooms.

"Master, master, little friend Ning Cheng is here!" Cao Zhong entered the hall and said in surprise.

Cao Wudi, who was communicating with Cao Lengfeng in the hall, stood up immediately after hearing these words.

He is in a very complicated mood right now, and he can't say he is happy or anything else.

"Ning Cheng, are you here?" Cao Wudi said.

Ning Cheng entered the hall, "Grandpa Cao, I'm sorry for causing trouble to the Cao family branch this time!"

Cao Wudi shook his head and said, "Even if you don't kill Cao Shengtian, we will still break away from the main line of the Cao family. This was decided from the beginning... Even if the people from the main line of the Cao family come to deal with us this time, we are not afraid.

!”

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "That's why I came here today. When I came in just now, it seemed that the Cao family was missing a lot, right?"

Cao Wudi nodded and said, "Actually, since the morning, we have secretly dispersed the non-combatant members of the Cao family. What happened this time may be a disaster for the Cao family branch, so I just

You can come up with this plan."

Ning Cheng thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Cao, don't worry, I will stay here!"

"Ning Cheng!"

Cao Shuang rushed to the hall. For some reason, when Cao Shuang saw Ning Cheng, the fear and worry in her heart suddenly disappeared.

The first feeling that Ning Cheng gave Cao Shuang was that of security. Cao Shuang always felt that as long as she was by Ning Cheng's side, she would not be afraid even if the sky fell.

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Cao Shuang, don't worry, it will be fine!"

"Yeah!" Cao Shuang nodded heavily. She seemed to have summoned up some courage. Cao Shuang clenched her fist slightly, "As long as you are here, I'm not afraid!"
