18. A Lonely Journey

The surrounding paths became narrower and narrower, and there were waves of chill in the deep cave. Chu Ning led the man forward.

"How long do we have before we can get out? If you lie to me, I will turn you into a pool of blood!" Chu Ning became more and more uneasy as he walked away. He could escape himself, but he couldn't save those children. If he escaped by himself, then

What else?

"I'm not lying to you. Just follow this path and you'll be out in half an hour," the man said weakly.

"good!"

Chu Ning knocked the man unconscious with a strike of his palm. It was too slow to drag him. "If the Soul Transferring Technique hadn't taken so much effort, I would have read your memory long ago!".

Chu Ning thought it would be better to go explore the road by herself first. If the man lied to him, he would have to wait for him with the Soul Transferring Technique when he came back!

In the cold and damp path, Chu Ning used his hands and feet to climb out through an extremely narrow hole.

"Ha... Huh..." Chu Ning finally walked out, breathing in the fresh air outside. It really felt like being reborn after a disaster.

"Who!?" Chu Ning noticed something strange under the dense trees in front of him, and felt that it was a person.

The trees shook even more violently, "I want to run away!" Chu Ning flew over and held the knife in his hand, killing!

A palm wind came out from the forest, "So weak?" Realizing that the person who came had a low level of cultivation, probably only at the peak of the acquired world, Chu Ning immediately kicked him over.

"Bang!" The person who came was kicked directly into the tree. The powerful force caused the tree to be broken directly by him. He groaned and swallowed a mouthful of blood!

Only then did Chu Ning see the appearance of the person coming. He was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He was neatly dressed in some tattered armor. He had a spear at his feet. His face was extremely tired, as if he had traveled a long way.

His eyes were firm and unyielding, his face showed no fear, he just stared at Chu Ning fiercely.

Even if Chu Ning could kill him at any time now, or torture him in more cruel ways, the old man would not blink, let alone beg for mercy.

Chu Ning's intuition has always been very accurate. Sometimes intuition is the guess closest to the truth!

"You are not from Elder Jin. Who are you? Why are you here to catch up?" Chu Ning was a little frightened by his gaze and subconsciously avoided it. This has nothing to do with the strength of his personal cultivation, it is just the inner things of this person.

, which shocked Chu Ning.

Chu Ning looked at the old man and thought of a sentence in his mind: Some people can only die standing, but they can never live on their knees!

"I'm not a devil from a demon sect, I'm here to help people!" Chu Ning finally announced his family status and said to the old man, because he knew that if the old man was unwilling to tell, even death in this world would not threaten the old man.

"Huh? Then who are you?" The old man looked at Chu Ning. He was originally dressed in white, but now he was covered in mud. There was even some mud on his face. He looked calm, which was very different from the demon cult demon.

"Well, respecting the old and caring for the young is my good character in life, Chu Ning. Let me tell you, I am the inspector of the Demon Division of Daqin Town, and I was ordered to investigate the disappearance of the children. Now you can tell me who you are." Chu Ning.

Ning said and threw the token of the Inspector of the Demon Suppression Department to the old man.

The old man took the token in his hand and looked at it carefully. The expression on his face softened a lot, but he still looked wary.

"Wei Lie, what happened to you?" A powerful and deep voice came, the trees rustled, and several figures walked through.

"Brother Xiao, I'm here!" the old man said as he climbed up from the ground with difficulty.

It was only then that Chu Ning saw clearly that there were two people coming, one supporting the old man Wei Lie on the left and the other on the right. They were all old men over sixty years old. They were wearing the same armor, which was also stained with old marks. Some of them were originally

The armor pieces fell off and were sewn up with linen, but it didn't affect the mighty and resolute appearance at all!

"This is..." Chu Ning probably guessed that this is a group of veterans!

"If you dare to hurt my brother, I will kill you!" At this time, one of the old men with a black face said angrily, holding up the big ax in his hand and was about to kill him.

"Ziran, come back!" One of the old men, who was the most dignified, scolded with a dark face.

"Brother Xiao, he said he is the inspector of the Demon Suppression Division, here to rescue the kidnapped children." The old man Wei Lie gave the token of the Demon Suppression Division to one of the people.

During the gap, Chu Ning looked at the three of them. The leader among them was only in the early stage of innateness, and the other two were only in the acquired stage. With the three people with such cultivation, Chu Ning was confident that he could make a move with just one knife.

.

"This lord, is he really from the Demon Suppression Division?" the leader of the old man said.

"I'm not only from the Demon Suppression Division, but I'm also here to save people!" Chu Ning said angrily.

The leading old man walked meticulously in military steps, came to Chu Ning, and respectfully handed the token back to Chu Ning with both hands.

"The five of us brothers joined the army a few years ago. When we got older, we were discharged and returned to our hometown. It is Lehua Village, 1,300 miles away from here. A month ago, the children in several villages around us were kidnapped.

We brothers have traced all the way here, and we have offended many of you without realizing it. Please forgive me!" The old man said and bowed to Chu Ning.

This actually made Chu Ning feel a little embarrassed. His old face turned red and he couldn't help but sigh: It's true that veterans never die, they just wither! The faith is still there, protect the family and the country, and die without regrets!

"Old General, it's serious. It's because I'm blind and didn't see clearly that I injured General Wei. I have a pill here. Take it quickly to heal the injury. I'm worried that no one will help." Chu Ning said and changed into the Xuan Ni Good Fortune Bead.

, after choosing a bottle of elixir, I still choose the best bottle!

While these veterans were enjoying their old age, their spirit of pursuing thousands of miles regardless of their broken bodies deeply shocked him!

"Isn't this too expensive? I, a rough man like me, can't use such a good elixir." The old man looked at the elixirs in his hand. He knew how precious these elixirs were, so he refused and prepared the elixirs again.

Return the medicine bottle to Chu Ning.

Seeing them all exhausted and with bloodshot eyes, Chu Ning was very moved and continued, "This is an extraordinary moment, old general, don't refuse, I still have business to discuss with the old general."

"Then I accept your kindness and thank you for the medicine." After saying that, he gave the medicine to Wei Lie.

Wei Lie's face glowed red after taking the elixir, and the power of the medicine overflowed in his body, restoring his body. "Brother Xiao, I...I feel like I'm about to break through," he said, sitting cross-legged and adjusting his posture.

Rested.

"I don't know, how many people are here from General Xiao this time?" Chu Ning asked him.

"Master Chu, how can we be called generals despite our virtues? The old man Xiao Yuan once served as a centurion. There are five of us in total, and there are two other brothers who have split up," Centurion Xiao said and pointed

Pointing to the other two people, "This is Wang Zhuoran, the sword and axeman, and Wei Lie, the spearman."

"I have found the group of arrested children, not only from your village, but also from other places. There are hundreds of them in total, and I have rescued them all!" Chu Ning said firmly.

"That's natural. Please arrange it, Mr. Chu." Centurion Xiao said and bowed his hand to Chu Ning.

"In this case, Centurion Xiao, you first send someone to send my demon-suppressing commander's token to Bingzhou City and go to the city lord's mansion to ask for help." Chu Ning said and handed the token to Centurion Xiao.

As Centurion Xiao took Chu Ning's token, a long cry like a bird's call spread around. Not long after, another long call like a bird's call responded to him, and then another man came from the woods.

Two people.

The two men were also in their fifties or sixties, wearing the same armor, and their lips were slightly cracked by thirst. They were obviously very tired. One of them was holding a crossbow in his hand, and the other was holding a long knife across his waist.

"This is crossbowman Cheng Yurong, and this is infantry commander Liu Yujun." Centurion Xiao said and introduced the two of them to Chu Ning.

"This is Chu Ning, the inspector of the Demon Suppression Division, Mr. Chu. He is also here to track down the missing children."

"Master Chu, you are polite."

"I've met you two."

Chu Ning looked at the five veterans in front of him. Although the ones with the highest cultivation levels were innate and acquired, they gave people a never-say-die spirit! All of them looked old and haggard, and their clothes were all dilapidated.

The unbearable armors held ordinary weapons in their hands, but Chu Ning saw in them the determination to fight despite tens of thousands of people, and the aura of a tiger that could swallow up thousands of miles!

Chu Ning hurriedly took out another bottle of elixirs from the Xuan Ni Creation Bead, fearing that they would all be swallowed up by the creation beads, he said, "There are some elixirs here. We are really tired from traveling thousands of miles to chase the murderer. What a good walking insect."

With a little physical strength, we still have a tough battle to fight next."

Several veterans took the elixir without hesitation and took it one after another, and the look on their faces recovered a little.

"Liu Shichang, your legs are better. You go to the city lord's palace to ask for help. I'll stay and help Mr. Chu." Centurion Xiao said and gave the token to the veteran with a long sword across his waist.

Infantry chief Liu Yujun took the token, clasped his fists, turned around and disappeared into the woods.

"Follow me, you guys. There are too many children. We need more life to take care of." Chu Ning said and led a few veterans in along the path.

Chu Ning and others hurried along, and it didn't take long to find the prison where the children were detained.

At this time, several of the children stood up hurriedly and lay down at the door of the cell, crying excitedly. One of the eldest little girls, who looked about eight or nine years old, had a mature and steady face that was inconsistent with her grade, and whispered in a low voice

He opened his mouth, "Grandpa Xiao, you came to save us, and Grandpa Wei, Grandpa Cheng, and Grandpa Wang. I knew you were back. I wasn't afraid, and I didn't cry. I also took care of my younger brothers and sisters and told them not to be afraid."

.”

"Well, Xiao Chan, you are the best and most sensible. Grandpa Xiao is late. Grandpa Xiao will rescue you right away." Centurion Xiao's bloodshot eyes were full of tears, and he was full of tears looking at the skinny little girl.

He said with self-blame.

Chu Ning slashed the lock without a sound and said, "It's okay. Brother Chu is here. Your name is Xiaochan. You are so brave. You are a great kid."

"Brother Chu, you are so powerful. You can beat bad guys. I worship you as my teacher. You can accept me as your apprentice. Xiaochan also wants to practice martial arts and beat bad guys when he grows up!" The little girl said angrily.

He held his small fist and waved it in the air a few times.

"Xiao Chan, don't be rude!" Centurion Xiao had long seen that Chu Ning was full of nobility. He was an innate master at a young age. He must be an extraordinary person. How could he be the same as the common people at the bottom of the class?

"Grandpa Xiao..." The little girl named Xiaochan felt extremely aggrieved in the scolding, lowered her head and her tears could no longer stop flowing.

"Xiaochan, there are some things you don't understand," Centurion Xiao comforted you while holding the little girl tightly in his arms.

"Centurion Xiao, these words are serious. Such an outstanding apprentice is a blessing to me, Mr. Chu," Chu Ning said and hugged the little girl.

Chu Ning said earnestly, "Live well, my master will tell you something today, there is no invincible martial arts in this world, only invincible enemies!" After saying that, Chu Ning gave the little girl a bottle of pills, and nine

The sword manual of Huo Zhulong.

"If my teacher is still alive, I will teach you other stories later," Chu Ning put the little girl down as he heard a lot of footsteps.

"Guys, I leave it to you to escort these children. Destroy the entrance of the cave when you get out!" Chu Ning said with determination.

"Sir, you come to escort the children. I will wait for the brothers to stay. Mr. Chu, you take them away!" Centurion Xiao looked at the several veteran brothers beside him. They nodded secretly one by one. They didn't want to

Chu Ning stayed behind to break up. He was still young and had a long way to go. He had to go to a wider world. He shouldn't die like this in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Come on, no one will be able to leave if you don't!" Chu Ning shouted and rushed directly in the direction of the person.

"Sir, how do you get out?" Centurion Xiao asked worriedly.

Chu Ning's voice floated slowly from a distance.
