Chapter 109: Everyone Knows You Were Wronged

Ning Zhuo's pace gradually quickened.

He was taking Yuan Dasheng to explore the Immortal Palace, and there were risks during this period.

Because Meng Chong might come in at this time.

Without Yuan Dasheng in Room Three to block the enemy, he could easily reach the preparation room.

"I hope Meng Chong is unconscious more thoroughly this time, leaving me as much time to explore as possible!"

Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo's heart suddenly stirred, thinking of the theory of Qi numbers, and he couldn't help but have many new insights.

"The Lava Immortal Palace is like a ring; Meng Chong and I are both in the ring, and even if we aren't face-to-face, there is entanglement and consumption of Qi numbers."

"I took the first step, setting up mechanical traps to obstruct Meng Chong everywhere, which counts as suppressing him."

"But he becomes stronger the more he faces adversity, starting special training, and his strength improves very quickly."

"I encountered a crisis and had to change my name, designing against Han Ming. As a result, Meng Chong suddenly broke out in the Ziyang Courtyard and defeated Han Ming."

"If he had been more decisive at the time, or pursued relentlessly and killed Han Ming, I would have had no way out, and if the name change failed, I would have been indirectly defeated by Meng Chong."

"Not long ago, I narrowly eliminated Yuan Dasheng. According to Han Ming, my Qi numbers rose greatly."

"So, I used Yuan Dasheng to defeat Meng Chong and also put him in an unconscious state. Once again, I suppressed him."

"I just don't know what kind of strong posture he will return in, and how much he will have improved."

Ning Zhuo realized this and had already arrived at the three doors again.

"These three doors are actually flaws."

"Zhu Xuanji witnessed Yuan Dasheng using the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art once. Although the process might have been short, the aura had already leaked out."

"In the future, if someone cultivates this demonic art, they will definitely be discovered by Zhu Xuanji, thus raising new suspicions about Yuan Dasheng's death."

"New suspicions will lead to new investigations."

"And such investigations are precisely quite dangerous for me."

"Sigh, if only I could cover up this demonic door."

Ning Zhuo had already tried in this regard; unfortunately, even if he exerted his full strength to urge the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, he couldn't make the stone wall rise again to cover the demonic door.

"The most urgent task is to seize every time and opportunity to explore with full strength."

Ning Zhuo was not only racing against time with Meng Chong, Zheng Jian, and others, but also with Zhu Xuanji.

"This time, I want to break through the Buddha Gate first!" Ning Zhuo had long been determined.

Mainly because the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, was too high-quality and had obvious advantages in exploring the Buddha Gate.

However, the first door Ning Zhuo pushed open was the Demon Gate.

He explored the Demon Gate, tried it for a while, and then actively stopped. His main purpose was just to get the blood energy inside.

He didn't leave any blood energy behind, directly infusing it into Yuan Dasheng's body.

In an instant, the red muscles on Yuan Dasheng's body began to emit a dark red radiance, demonic energy surging, showing a sense of dominance and ferocity.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, who had been watching Ning Zhuo, saw this scene and was so angry that fire sprayed from its nostrils.

Normal competitors, because they couldn't retreat, could only choose one of three and bite the bullet to the end.

But Ning Zhuo relied on the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to cheat and retreated.

This retreat had an extremely obvious boost to Yuan Dasheng!

It protected Ning Zhuo, killing in all directions within the Buddha Gate's levels, invincible.

"As I expected, Yuan Dasheng had a very high cultivation of refining essence before his death, and the level of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art was likely very high."

"Using its complete corpse and complete soul as the main material, the spirituality obtained has a very deep imprint on its behavior before death."

"Therefore, when using blood energy, it can even create large areas of blood tendons."

Ning Zhuo killed through the three levels of the Buddha Gate and stood before the door again.

"This time, what kind of reward will there be?" He had a premonition that the reward value would be very high, because the second door of the Buddha Gate had no clearance reward.

Sure enough.

When Ning Zhuo touched the door, he immediately received information.

A dozen options made him feel dazzled for a moment.

His first thought was: "Can I keep retreating and take all these rewards?"

"Pick one first, then verify. What's best to pick?"

After studying it, Ning Zhuo found that most of these options were spells or mechanism blueprints; the only special one was an Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed.

"What is an Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed?" Ning Zhuo asked in his heart.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been waiting here and couldn't wait to explain: "The Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed imprints the essence of a certain supernatural power; once planted, it can assist the cultivator in fully comprehending the supernatural power. It is rare in the world, extremely precious, and limited in quantity……"

*Snap, snap, snap.*

The fire whip lashed wildly.

But the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit held on for dear life; no matter how the fire whip lashed, it just wouldn't continue speaking.

Ning Zhuo couldn't hear the subsequent content, so he subconsciously thought this was the full content.

"Limited quantity, extremely precious! Then I'll choose it."

After Ning Zhuo selected it, a phantom of a lotus seed immediately followed the door and was transmitted to the deepest part of Ning Zhuo's upper dantian divine sea.

"Just like that?"

"And then?"

Ning Zhuo stood blankly on the spot for a moment, a bit dumbfounded.

After the Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed was planted, it almost disappeared, and even Ning Zhuo himself found it very difficult to find.

Ning Zhuo tried various methods, all of which failed.

"Perhaps I need to return my soul to my flesh to come into contact with it." Ning Zhuo guessed, full of hope.

Little did he know, in the main hall of the Lava Immortal Palace, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was laughing in a reclining posture, using its dragon claws to punch its own turtle shell, laughing extremely heartily!

Finally, finally, it had pitted Ning Zhuo once.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit felt the pain from the lashing, but felt happy in its heart!

The information it covered up was that although the Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed is precious, the probability of letting a cultivator comprehend a supernatural power is extremely low. Many Golden Core cultivators plant the Illusion-Truth Lotus Seed and can't comprehend anything. This is because the supernatural power essence imprinted in these lotus seeds comes from one source—Human Life Hanging by a Thread!

In the eyes of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit: Ning Zhuo, a mere Qi Refining stage, wanting to comprehend it is simply a fantasy!

Ning Zhuo pushed the door and went out, entering a new hall, and saw the brand new Buddha, Dao, and Demon doors.

He first tried to use the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to retreat, and was shocked to find that the door opened quite laboriously.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease: "Could it be that exploring to this point, the influence of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal is no longer enough?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit saw this scene and became even more calm.

It knew the real reason—it wasn't that the influence of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal wasn't enough, but that Ning Zhuo was only at the Qi Refining stage, and the power of the treasure seal he could draw out wasn't much. Exploring to here, it had already started to be insufficient to influence the door.

Unless Ning Zhuo's cultivation had a significant improvement.

But that wasn't something that could be done in a moment.

Ning Zhuo paid a huge price, and only then did he successfully retreat, returning to where he had stood before.

He touched the door again and found he could choose a reward, so he chose a spell.

Ning Zhuo pushed the door again, entered the door hall, but did not continue to retreat.

The consumption was really too great!

Ning Zhuo tried to contact the Buddha, Dao, and Demon doors.

He found that the mechanism of the three doors was roughly the same as before.

He touched the door surface and obtained the content of the fourth to sixth levels of the three cultivation arts respectively.

"Finally, I can continue to cultivate."

"These cultivation arts came just in time!"

Ning Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief; although he had guessed it long ago, only until this moment, when the guess corresponded to reality, did he truly feel at ease.

After walking around and finding nothing else, Ning Zhuo continued to retreat, chose another reward, and returned along the original path.

He returned to Room Three and left Yuan Dasheng behind.

He returned to Room Two and found that everyone else was still trapped, with no perception of the outside world.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to jump into a trap and waited silently.

After the others' souls were exhausted and sent back to their flesh, he waited for a little while longer before using the trial disciple mark to easily return his soul to his body.

Two days later.

Ning Xiaoren led Ning Zhuo into his study.

When he came in, he found Ning Ze already bleeding from the head after being hit by an inkstone, kneeling on the ground.

Ning Xiaoren looked pained and said to Ning Zhuo: "At first, I didn't believe it either, until the evidence was placed before me, until I personally confirmed it from your uncle's mouth."

"Nephew Ning Zhuo, I didn't expect, I didn't expect at all, that your uncle would be so shameless!"

"To actually embezzle the cultivation funding I secretly gave you every year!!"

Ning Zhuo's pupils dilated, and there was disbelief and anger on his face.

"Uncle, is this true?!" Ning Zhuo roared at Ning Ze.

Ning Ze's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at Ning Zhuo.

His eyes were turbid, his face was extremely ugly, and there were traces of torture on his body.

Ning Ze stared at Ning Zhuo and then looked at Ning Xiaoren, whose eyes were extremely sharp.

Ning Ze's heart was dead, and he took a deep breath, his tone extremely heavy: "Yes, I did it."

Ning Zhuo's body swayed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step back, being supported by Ning Xiaoren.

Ning Zhuo couldn't bear such a blow, closed his eyes tightly, and tears rolled down.

His vision was temporarily pitch black.

He thought of the past.

"Kneel!" Ning Ze held a bamboo stick, his voice stern.

Child Ning Zhuo held his head high: "Why punish me? I said it wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

*Snap.*

The bamboo stick lashed down fiercely.

A clear red mark instantly appeared on Ning Zhuo's cheek, which then became red and swollen.

Ning Zhuo still held his head high.

Ning Ze was furious and swung the bamboo stick again.

*Snap, snap, snap!*

Ning Zhuo was lashed on the back of his knees and had to kneel down.

"Uncle, why don't you believe me? I was wronged, I didn't do this. Wuwuwu……" Ning Zhuo raised his arm to wipe his tears.

"Still being stubborn!" Ning Ze threw down the bamboo stick and turned to leave, "Today I punish you to kneel until you admit your mistake, only then can you get up for dinner!"

That time, Ning Zhuo knelt from evening until dawn, until he fainted.

Waking up in the morning, Wang Lan said to Ning Ze: "Master, although Xiao Zhuo has a wild temper, he is indeed honest. At least, he has never lied to us."

"I think this mistake really might not have been made by him."

Ning Ze snorted coldly: "Of course I know he was wronged."

"But what can I do?"

"The father of the child who made the mistake is a family elder of the Battle Hall."

"We can't afford to offend them!"

"Ning Zhuo admits his mistake, and the matter is resolved. Being stubborn will only bring bigger trouble!"

Wang Lan whispered: "Ah, so that's how it is."

"Master, you did the right thing."

"A child suffering a little grievance and being wronged, what does it matter?"
