Chapter 170 Cui Family Secret Technique - Derived from Jiang Taigong's [Nine-Character Mantra]?
"Father!!"

"Still not leaving?"

"Resign, kid!"

Cui Ping knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, then turned and left.

Cui Jun watched his son's back as he walked away, and said quietly, "I hope you have a smooth journey south. Don't..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards the beam: "Who!"

"Still not coming out?"

"clap clap"

Applause broke out, and Zuo Ci, dressed in a Taoist robe, walked out from the shadows. He looked at Cui Jun with interest: "What a deep love between father and son."

"It's a pity that it's too late."

"You should have expected this outcome from the moment you became my Lord's enemy."

Cui Jun frowned slightly: "Cui family, no, the entire Bo Ling is under your control?"

"Ye Zhang, does Ye Feng really want to be the enemy of all the noble families in the world?"

"He wants to take over the world, but how can he get it if he offends us?"

Zuo Ci twirled his beard lightly, smiled and shook his head: "The world is not the world of the aristocratic families, but the world of the millions of ordinary people."

“You have influence, but not as much as you think.”

"After today, the Cui family of Boling, the Tao family of Hejian, the Zhao family of Bohai, and all the aristocratic families scattered in Hebei will be purged."

"People are dead. Will the people rise up to avenge you?"

"I'm afraid few people have such thoughts because they are busy measuring the land and redistributing it."

Cui Jun's face changed drastically and he took a breath of cold air: "Ye Zhang, is Ye Feng crazy? He is trying to dig up the family's roots."

"Don't forget, the Ye family is also a wealthy family in Zhongshan."

Zuo Ci smiled faintly: "Don't worry about this, Patriarch Cui."

"You just need to understand that with one order from me, everyone in the Cui family will be killed."

Cui Jun's eyes were uncertain, staring at Zuo Ci: "What do you need?"

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "I heard that the Bo Ling Cui family originated from the Jiang family. Legend has it that during the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Taigong was able to communicate with heaven and man. His martial arts and mental strength were considered the best among the gods."

"I wonder if there are any secret methods left behind?"

"I have dabbled in astronomy, geography, astrology, divination, and Qimen Dunjia. As long as what Patriarch Cui brings out is attractive enough, it won't be difficult to make an exception."

Cui Jun's face was gloomy and he stared at Zuo Ci, as if he was calculating the truth of his words.

Zuo Ci naturally understood what Cui Jun meant and smiled as he clapped his hands.

"whoosh whoosh"

The night guards who had been hiding nearby appeared instantly.

"Ah!"

A few muffled screams made Cui Jun feel cold all over.

Zuo Ci looked at Cui Jun with a smile: "Now Patriarch Cui should believe what I said."

"People from outside the world don't tell lies!"

Cui Jun took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm, but the trembling of his legs told others that he was not calm.

"Let my family go, and I'll give you the Nine-Character Mantra that our ancestors left behind."

"【Nine-word mantra】?"

Zuo Ci's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Are you serious?"

"Back then, Jiang Taigong said, 'Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Lie, Zhen, Qian, Xing'. Each word can determine the life or death of a person or an army."

"Are these rumors true?"

Cui Jun felt weak in his heart, but his face was smug: "The old ancestor's magical power has been overwhelming for hundreds of years. Apart from the ancient Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor and other great gods, who can compare with his Taoism?" "It's a pity that my descendants are stupid, otherwise how could we become meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by others?"

At this point, Cui Jun's eyes were full of determination: "If you are willing to let my Cui family live, I will give you all the secrets passed down by our ancestors. Otherwise, we will be in trouble and the legendary secrets will never see the light of day again."

"I promise that no one else knows this secret except me, the head of the family."

Zuo Ci thought for a long time and sighed softly: "I have the intention, but I don't have the ability."

"It's okay to let one person go, or some insignificant people go, but if I let the entire Cui family go, how can I keep my head?"

"The secret method is good, but it's not worth exchanging your life for it."

"Spare your son's life, and the lives of all children under the age of twelve."

"If you agree, hand it over!"

"Otherwise, I will give the order now."

"Remember, don't bargain, this is my bottom line."

Cui Jun still wanted to fight for it, but Zuo Ci had already closed his eyes and his face was full of cold indifference.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "It's up to you!"

"The things are in the ancestral temple, you can take them yourself."

Before he could finish his words, a figure kicked the door open.

The knife flashed, and Cui Jun only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes. He had no time to react at all. He only felt a chill on his neck and blood spurted out of his throat.

The blood flowed more and more, and endless regret filled Cui Jun's heart at this moment.

If the Cui family had not intervened in this matter from the beginning and had not plotted against Ye Feng, how could this have ended up?

I wanted to lead the Cui family to a higher level in these troubled times, but in the end I ended up losing more than I gained!

"Ugh!"

Endless regret filled my heart, but it was too late.

His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and then his body went limp and he fell heavily backwards.

Zuo Ci was also startled. After a moment, he sensed a familiar breath and said with a little anger, "Gao Lan, who told you to act so quickly?"

"Who knows whether Cui Jun's words just now are true or false?"

"What if I can't find the [Nine-Character Mantra]?"

"Young people are clumsy and unreliable."

Zuo Ci stared at Gao Lan with a reproachful look on his face. Under normal circumstances, Gao Lan would have just laughed it off, but now Gao Lan did not put down the long sword in his hand, and the blade pointed at Zuo Ci: "Master Zuo, can you please inform the lord of your transaction?"

"If the lord is unaware and you make the decision on your own, then this matter can be resolved..."

Zuo Ci was stunned, twirled his beard, rolled his eyes, and smiled: "The Nine-Character Mantra is a legendary supreme secret method. It is neither a martial arts method nor a spiritual practice method. If you can grasp its essence, a single word can determine life or death."

"As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share, so I won't keep it all to myself."

"General Gao can also come and watch. If we can verify each other's experience, we may be able to make faster progress."

"After all, no one is willing to be inferior to others all their lives. In troubled times, everything is possible."

"I am a floating duckweed, I don't care about these glory, wealth, fame, and fortune, but you, General, still need them."

"I can help you"

Before he even uttered the word "force", Gao Lan on the other side had a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

He leaped up, the long sword in his hand swinging from top to bottom: "The wind is howling!!"

The rich dark energy surged out like a surging river, and deep within the dark energy there was a trace of the unique strong energy of a heavenly general.

The broadsword drew a graceful arc in the air, flashed a white light, and slashed directly towards Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci frowned, sensing the strong killing intent. While using the [Earth Escape] technique, he shouted loudly, "Damn it, are you really going to use a killing move?"
