Chapter 563: Chapter 208: Seeking the Truth of the Great Dao, Heaven and Earth Have No Mercy, So What?! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!)

Longevity Immortal City.

Zhou Family.

Between hope and fear, Zhou Ning waited for a few more days. During these days, the City Lord Mansion caused a great commotion in the city, and now everyone in Immortal City knew that someone had actually escaped from the prison in the City Lord Mansion.

Under such circumstances, it should have been easy for the cultivators in the city to cooperate and capture the escaped prisoner, but there has been no news so far.

One could only say that it was no wonder that such a dangerous person could escape from prison; ordinary people could not escape from prison like this, so it was actually reasonable for them not to find the escapees for a while.

However, everyone believed that they would eventually find these escaped cultivators because the City Lord was the Great Power of Soul Emergence Feng Yuan!

But Zhou Ning was somewhat worried about this because as long as there was no result for the jade slip at the door, he would always be nervous.

On the other hand, after Chen Chen escaped from prison, he did not contact his companions but hid in the dark to confirm whether there was any danger.

When he confirmed that there were no abnormalities, he prepared to reveal himself and meet Zhou Ning directly.

So, on a night when the moon is bright and the stars are few, he stopped wasting time and quietly sneaked into Zhou Ning’s study.

At this moment, Zhou Ning was still meditating. When he finished his meditation, he immediately assumed a defensive position because he found that there was an unfamiliar person in the room.

However, to his surprise, he did not shout out directly but simply watched the visitor without making a sound. It would be unwise to cause a commotion now.

It’s because the other party could easily sneak into the study without him knowing, which means the other party was much stronger than him.

“Senior, I don’t know what you came here for. As long as the junior can do it, the junior will do his best to satisfy your request.”

Seeing Zhou Ning’s respectful attitude, Chen Chen thought about it but decided not to beat around the bush and simply explain the situation. It was not appropriate to test each other now.

“I am Chen Chen of the Seeking Truth Lineage, are you a member of the Church of All Beings?”

The Church of All Beings?

These three words made Zhou Ning somewhat dumbfounded. After all, the Church of All Beings was well-known in Longevity Immortal City.

Throughout thousands of years, the Church of All Beings had left a strong mark on the city’s history. But how could he have any relationship with the Church of All Beings?

His reaction fell into Chen Chen’s eyes, causing him to be somewhat puzzled. Did he guess wrong? However, in that case, why did the other party not seek help from the City Lord Mansion when he got the jade slip?

It was just the previous abnormal situation of the Zhou Family that made Chen Chen sure that there was no malice towards the Seeking Truth Lineage.

But now…

Chen Chen couldn’t help but be suspicious, and Zhou Ning could clearly feel that Chen Chen’s state at this moment was somewhat different from before.

However, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Ning still decided to tell the truth, as lying might cause even greater trouble.

He had only seen the Church of All Beings in texts and rumors, so how could he pretend? It would be better to tell the truth.

“Senior, my Zhou Family is an immortal cultivation family in the Immortal City and has never been involved with the Church of All Beings. Do you have any misunderstandings about this?”

At this time, Chen Chen couldn’t understand it either. “That day when I escaped from the prison, I deliberately let go of the jailer who should have had some of your Zhou Family young members. Can you call them right now?”

Although inquiring in tone, Zhou Ning couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and didn’t dare to delay. The other party was indeed the one who escaped from the prison that day.

At that time, he was also fortunate that the Zhou Family young members could return safely, but now it seems that he had misunderstood, and it was not luck but the other party deliberately not using lethal force.

In a flash, he made up his mind, took out the Communication Jade Slip, and before long, the Zhou Family young members who had been on duty in the jail had arrived outside the room door.

“Come in.”

These few Zhou Family young members were still wondering what the Family Master wanted with them, but when they looked up, they saw a person they never expected to see.

“It’s you!?”

As soon as they spoke, Chen Chen had already arrived in front of them, “Perform the technique you used that day immediately, or else…”

When the Zhou Family young members heard Chen Chen’s threat and glanced at Zhou Ning beside them, they immediately performed the defensive moves they had made on that day of emergency as he said.

Chen Chen’s eyes squinted involuntarily at this point, and it was indeed the aura of Horizontal Training unique to the Seeking Truth Lineage, without a mistake.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ning immediately guessed something. At that time, the spiritual energy of Immortal City had mutated, and some of the better young members of the family had suddenly practiced Horizontal Training Method and made great cultivation progress.

At that time, Zhou Ning was somewhat pleased, thinking that it was Zhou Family’s deep blessing. But now it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Chen Chen had already confirmed that this was the aura of the physical combat technique that was different from that of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty cultivators, which was clearly from the Seeking Truth Lineage, and couldn’t help but look at Zhou Ning reproachfully.

“Zhou Family Master, you are really too cautious. I am indeed Chen Chen of the Seeking Truth Lineage, coming from the Xihe Immortal Dynasty. You may rest assured.

If you still have doubts in your heart, I can swear by the Heavenly Dao now, so you don’t have to hide anything.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning couldn’t help but feel a little dilemma. As the Master of the Zhou Family, how did he get involved with the Church of All Beings?

If the City Lord Mansion knew about this, it would probably be the next moment when Zhou Family faced disaster. He then thought of Elder Jin’s previous words to go with the flow, he gritted his teeth.

“Senior, there is really no connection between my Zhou Family and the Church of All Beings, and I can swear by the Heavenly Dao.”

Zhou Ning’s words made Chen Chen believe that the other party was not lying, but then how to explain the current aura of the Zhou Family young members?
