CHAPTER 1551 NOTHING TO SAY

He Daoren's death was definitely not simple.

He had been hunting the manual down for so many years and it wasn't solely for the sake of rescuing Fang Ran.

Jiang Ning knew his Master too well.

"Mr Jiang, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Mount Zhongnan. I will also continue to search for the remaining pages of the manual," nodded Butler Zhao. "We've searched the nation inside out and couldn't find anything, so my guess is that the other pages are somewhere overseas."

Back then, the Bao family hid one page in the US. The remaining three pages were probably somewhere out there.

Jiang Ning not only had to hunt down the manual pages, but he also had to get the key to decoding the secret behind the manual from the eight reclusive clans.

These things had to happen at the same time.

"Let me know if you have any news," said Jiang Ning.

After leaving Butler Zhao a few instructions, Jiang Ning left.

As long as someone was watching Mount Zhongnan, that was enough.

After these series of setbacks, Jiang Ning was sure that the reclusive clans would realize by now that the world outside was nothing like what it was like when they first decided to hide themselves in the mountains.

Many years had gone by, and the martial arts circle was also no longer the same.

Even if it was the same, Jiang Ning would make it change in the shortest time possible.

Jiang Ning had thought through all these things very carefully already, and he was going through it step by step. He had given all the warnings that he had to, and the rest was up to the reclusive clans to make the decision.

Right now, he was still going to spend more time and energy on Lin Yuzhen and on Lin Group.

No matter what happened, nobody else could replace the position and importance that Lin Yuzhen had in Jiang Ning's heart.

At the same time.

At the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

Brother Gou called the elders together and told them what Jiang Ning told him.

"Is he serious? We just need to write those words and we can leave?" The Huangfu clan elder found it a little hard to believe.

He was sure that it would be a piece of cake for Jiang Ning wanted to kill them if he wanted to.

As long as Jiang Ning wanted anyone to remain within Donghai, he just needed to say the word and he didn't even need to do anything.

Keeping them here was a terrible blow to the eight reclusive clans. It was a blow to their pride as well as a sign that they weren't as strong. But Jiang Ning didn't care about that part anymore. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"That's right," said Brother Gou. "You just need to write these words in the same way your clan writes, and we'll let you go."

He nodded and looked at all of them. His gaze fell on the silent Sima Quan standing in a corner.

"Besides Elder Sima, that is."

Sima Quan's expression changed and he laughed bitterly as he shook his head. "Jiang Ning does exactly what he says. He's a very principled man."

"Since the Sima clan has forsaken me, then there's nothing for me to say."

He then returned to his room and closed the door behind him with a tinge of frustration and anger.

The other elders exchanged glances and didn't know what had happened.

Sima Quan had been forsaken by the Sima clan?

What was going on?

Fang Wei should have returned to Mount Zhongnan and brought the message to the rest by now. So that was their response to Sima Quan?

As long as they wrote that phrase, Jiang Ning would let them leave.

All seven of them looked at one another and didn't waste anymore time. They got pen and paper from Brother Gou and wrote the words 'the beginning of the universe' for him.

They used the special way of writing that each clan had.

They had never seen the special way of writing that the other reclusive clans used, and even though they had written the same thing, they didn't know what the difference was.

They weren't in the mood to think about so

much.
