Chapter 179 The Assassination of the Demon Tribe, Happy Birthday, Husband
In the city
Ning Yao carried the completed body of Chu Ci on his back and quickly moved through the city, heading towards Ning Mansion.

After five days of traveling back and forth, Ning Yao and Chu Ci have become very familiar with this road.

But at this moment, waves of chill came over, as if caused by the autumn wind. However, both of them looked stern at this moment, and Ning Yao even stopped abruptly.

Looking around, there was no one there and it was dead silent. I couldn't hear any sound at all.

Ning Yao reacted immediately because she had experienced too many things like this.

Two sharp and cold words came out of Ning Yao's mouth:
"Monster clan!"

"It seems that the demon army on the city wall is attacking so fiercely. I think it is to cooperate with the demon clan's hidden players to take our lives."

Chu Ci had also learned about the battle situation on the city wall from Yang Shen.

Tonight, the demon race launched its strongest offensive since the Thirteenth War.

It was obvious that this was to effectively cooperate with the demon clan's spies in attacking him and Ning Yao.

"Shh!"

The hidden demon from the dark clan didn't waste any time and launched a fierce and powerful attack towards the two of them.

The terrifying power of this being has already reached the twelfth level of the Immortal Realm, and even among the Immortal Realm, it is still a strong existence.

Ning Yao, the first swordsman seed of the younger generation of Sword Qi Great Wall!

Chu Ci is a genius who can defeat Ning Yao by bursting out the combat power of the eleventh realm with the combat power of the eighth realm.

Both of them are already at the top of the demon clan's must-kill list. No matter which one is killed, for the demon clan, the military achievement is enough to compare with one of the top ten sword immortals of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Not to mention that now that two people are together, there is a chance to kill them all.

This is definitely a huge temptation for the demon spies lurking in the city.

Therefore, after observation and confirmation that Ning Yao and Chu Ci would take this road back to Ning Mansion every night, the demon clan's spies made full preparations and chose to take action tonight.

Even though Chu Ci, Ning Yao and the others had amazing combat power and could serve as two eleventh realm masters, they would definitely not be able to withstand a full-force attack from a twelfth realm immortal.

However, just when the demons in the dark thought they had succeeded, an old servant stood in front of Chu Ci and Ning Yao, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he easily blocked the attack.

"The twelfth realm? How is that possible?"

The pupils of the demons in the dark shrank drastically. It was obvious that the traces of all the strong men of the twelfth realm and above in the Sword Qi Great Wall had been confirmed clearly. It was impossible for Chu Ci and Ning Yao to be protected by the twelfth realm.

However, despite their doubts, after failing to attack, the dark demons immediately chose to flee.

Because no matter whether the old servant who was protecting the two of them was at the twelfth realm or not, as long as the latter could block his unexpected first attack, Chen Qingdu on the top of the city would never give himself a chance to attack a second time.

The old servant who was standing beside the two men also disappeared immediately, leaving behind only a cold and mocking laugh:

"Now that you've revealed yourself, do you still want to escape from under my nose?"

The one who rescued Chu Ci and Ning Yao was Nalan Yexing, who had already come out of seclusion.

After being healed by the Wood Spirit Pearl, not only did Nalan Yexing recover from his old injuries, his own strength also returned to the twelfth level of immortal realm, and he even had hope of reaching the thirteenth level.

After all, with Nalan Yexing's talent, if he hadn't been injured, he would have reached the thirteenth level long ago.

Therefore, Chu Ci and Ning Yao chose to go fishing.

From the first day Ning Yao carried him back to Ning Mansion, Chu Ci had already realized that the two of them would frequently travel back and forth on this road in the future, which would be a perfect opportunity for the demon clan to assassinate them.

At the same time, it is also a great place to set your own hook.

Now it seems that the catch is very good. The secret agent of the demon clan of the Twelve Realms Immortal can almost be regarded as the biggest fish in the pond.

Because if the demons of the thirteenth realm and above want to avoid human eyes and ears and sneak into the Great Wall of Sword Qi, they need to pay a huge price, such as abandoning their bodies, so few demons are willing to do so.

After all, he has reached the thirteenth realm. In any world, he is a hegemon. How many people are willing to pay a huge price and do something that will cost their lives?
Chu Ci and Ning Yao were replaced by Nanny Bai for protection, fearing that the demons were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Otherwise, after Nalan Yexing came out of retreat, it would be her turn to go into seclusion.

"Nalan Yexing?" "How is that possible? Aren't you seriously injured and fell into a lower realm?"

"Damn it, I'll fight you!"

……

In the darkness, there were several terrifying and furious roars, along with waves of heart-pounding fighting.

But after just a few breaths, the world returned to peace. Nalan Yexing returned to the three people. With a wave of his hand, a seriously injured and unconscious figure was thrown to the ground.

"My dear young lady, I have fulfilled my mission."

At this time, Nalan Yexing was in high spirits. He didn't know how long he hadn't felt so happy.

The number one assassin, whose Great Wall of Sword Qi was once enough to make all the great monsters in the thirteen realms fear him, used a great monster in the twelfth realm to announce to the world that he, Nalan Yexing, is back.

"Buzz!"

There were ripples on Chu Ci's brows as he took in the already powerless twelfth realm demon. Both the information in its head and the nutrients that turned into the world between his eyebrows were extremely rare.

"You go back to Ning Mansion first. I won't go back with you."

Ning Yao put Chu Ci down and turned to look towards the top of the city. As the killing formation dissipated and the sounds of heaven and earth returned, Ning Yao naturally heard the shouts and screams coming from the top of the city.

"Miss!"

Nanny Bai tried to persuade her, but was interrupted by Ning Yao's wave of hand.

Then Ning Yao reached out and hugged Chu Ci tightly, whispering in Chu Ci's ear:
"Happy birthday, my dear husband. I'm just sorry that I can't celebrate your birthday with you."

After Ning Yao finished speaking, she took the initiative to kiss Chu Ci, then blushed and ran towards the top of the city wall as fast as she could as if she was escaping.

"Old dog, why are you still so silly? Hurry up and follow the lady to protect her."

Nanny Bai kicked Nalan Yexing and said, "No matter how great you are as the number one assassin, you are still an old dog in front of me. I'm going to kick you anyway."

"oh oh!"

Nalan Yexing reacted and quickly caught up with Ning Yao.

"I see!"

Chu Ci, who was left behind, pinched his nose, shook his head and chuckled.

No wonder Xiuxiu forced me to arrive before August 15th. No wonder Ning Yao came to find me as soon as I arrived at Daoxuan Mountain. It turns out that Xiuxiu had sold me out a long time ago.

Seventeen years ago today, the military sage Ruan Qiong picked up a baby boy, so the day he was picked up became the baby's birthday.

But apart from Ruan Xiu and Li Liu, even Chu Ci himself didn't care much about this.

"Madame Bai, let's go back home."

Chu Ci came back to his senses and walked towards Ning Mansion.

"Sir, can you walk by yourself?"

Aunt Bai asked kindly.

"Madame Bai, you see it but don't say it!"

Chu Ci would not be reduced to the miserable situation of having to crawl back home without Ning Yao, but if he said it out loud, how could he let his wife carry him on her back?
Ning Yao actually knew that Chu Ci was lying to her.

Just as Chu Ci said, some things are better to be seen but not spoken out, because they become meaningless if spoken out.

Aunt Bai is not stupid either:

"That's right, it's rare to be confused, haha!"
