Chapter
When Ning Zhi heard what Zhu Zhimou said, his face turned even darker.
"<"Oh no, oh no......">"
Ning Zhi's face darkened.
"Ningzhi, what's wrong?" Zhu Zhimou asked with a puzzled face.
"I suspect that Chen Ping didn't die, and last night's incident was done by him..."
Ning Zhi said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Zhi Shan's expression changed drastically. He then shook his head and said, "Impossible, Chen Ping could not possibly be alive. Even if he were, with Chen Ping's strength, it would be impossible for him to wipe out thirteen influential clans overnight. Don't spread such alarming rumors..."
Zhu Zhisan didn't believe Chen Ping was dead, and he couldn't accept it either. In his heart, Chen Ping had already died and it was impossible for him to be alive.
Just at this moment, Long Jingguo and Long Xiao, who had heard the news, also arrived at the Martial Arts Alliance!
When they heard Ning Zhi suspect that Chen Ping hadn't died and that these sects were destroyed by Chen Ping, the Long family father and son didn't believe it at all!
"Deputy Alliance Leader Ning, if you say this out loud, people will laugh at you. Even if Chen Ping is alive, he doesn't have such great abilities."
Long Jingguo sneered.
Then Long Xiao also spoke: "That's right, with my current strength, I can't even do that. Even if Chen Ping were alive, he wouldn't be able to."
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean he can’t. Your strength has increased several times over this period, but that doesn’t mean Chen Ping hasn’t grown too. Perhaps his strength has increased even faster than yours...”
Ning Zhi glanced at Long Xiao with disdain.
He wasn't suspecting Chen Ping for no reason. There were many signs that indicated Chen Ping might not be dead. If Chen Ping was alive, he could very well have done something as drastic as destroying thirteen influential families.
Moreover, Chen Ping has always been ruthless towards his enemies, never showing any mercy. Let alone now, Chen Ping hates the Martial Arts Alliance with all his heart. All these clans and aristocratic families have joined the Martial Arts Alliance, making them Chen Ping's enemies.

"I think you're just scared of Chen Ping. Your Ning family has been wiped out by him, and you've been running around chasing after him ever since. You must have a shadow in your heart, so it's normal for you to suspect it's Chen Ping. After all, Chen Ping should be your demon now..."
Although Ning Zhi is the deputy leader, Long Xiao doesn't give him any face at all.
"You…………"
Ning Zhi's eyes instantly flared with anger, but he held back and didn't attack.
The time isn't right for him to make his move yet, the timing isn't mature!
"I'm going to practice. Since you don't believe me, just wait and see..."
Ning Zhi turned and left. He had to seize the time to cultivate, fortunately, the Martial Arts Alliance had Su Yuqi's blood, which could help Ning Zhi cultivate quickly.
"Dragon Master, you should be careful, this person might go to your Dragon's family."
Zhushi Mountain addressed Long Jingguo, giving him a warning.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader. As long as that person dares to come, I will definitely catch him..."
Long Jingguo remained silent, but Long Xiao spoke with conviction.
For he will soon be able to enhance his strength again, once he obtains the armor on Xiaoru's body and absorbs Xiaoru's power, he will be able to look down upon the entire Kyoto martial arts world.
After seeing off the Long family father and son, Zhu Zhisan immediately dispatched people to investigate the matter. He wanted to find out who was behind it all. As for Zhu Zhishan himself, he wasn't idle either. He needed to go and appease those influential sects within the Martial Arts Alliance.
Now many clans and noble families are living in fear, trembling because they don't know when that person will appear, and they risk being destroyed.
At the beginning, some clans and families chose to withdraw from the Martial Arts Alliance. After all, the fact that they targeted the Martial Arts Alliance was impossible to hide. The matter of characters inscribed on the bodies of several corpses quickly spread, so some clans and families chose to withdraw from the Martial Arts Alliance in order to protect themselves.
