Chapter 118

Ning Family.

Ning Xiaohui had just taken a sip of tea when her expression suddenly changed drastically.

She accidentally dropped her cup, knelt on the ground immediately, and reached out to grab her own neck.

"I, I..." Ning Xiaohui couldn't breathe, her face full of terrifying blue-purple color.

The tea numbed her nasal cavity, mouth, and tongue; the toxic foam caused by the corrosion filled her nose and mouth, making it impossible for her to breathe!

The next moment, Ning Xiaohui reached out and dug fiercely.

She directly tore open her own throat, blood flowing freely. But because of this, she successfully inhaled fresh air again.

The Ning family guards who came at the sound saw this scene of Ning Xiaohui and were immediately shocked, hurriedly reporting it.

Ning Xiaohui had a fierce look on her face, spells in her hands ready to go, aimed at anyone who wanted to approach her.

The Ning family guards dared not act rashly.

When Ning Xiaohui saw her grandmother appear, her mind finally relaxed, and she fainted.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's small courtyard.

In the small cultivation secret room inside the bedroom, Unlike Ning Zhuo kept his eyes closed, fully focused.

Drops of blood dripped down onto his chest, staining his lapels red.

This was a nosebleed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo went all out, using the Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Art to observe, using the Heart Seal to control Yuan Dasheng, and from time to time dispatching the spiritual power within Dasheng's body to cast spells.

When Yuan Dasheng broke into the final door, it was covered in wounds all over. Three fingers on its left hand were broken, and its right leg had been nearly severed. It was only after Unlike Ning Zhuo commanded Yuan Dasheng to retreat from the pass, all the way back to the maintenance room, and perform self-repairs, that it had the ability to continue exploring.

Although the puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo's overall strength was not as good as Yuan Dasheng's, the two were very well-matched—one in front and one behind, one attacking from a distance and one engaging in close-quarters combat—capable of a qualitative change in combat power.

Relying solely on Yuan Dasheng to break through, the difficulty increased a lot.

Yuan Dasheng bravely broke through the three passes of the Buddha Gate, standing once again before the door to choose a reward.

There was nothing to say; this time, Unlike Ning Zhuo directly chose the "Fire Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture"!

The content of the Buddhist scripture was quickly transmitted to the bottom of Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart.

"Sure enough, just as I guessed!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was first excited, then stunned.

The content of the Fire Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture moved him!

He forcibly endured his surging, complex emotions, then ordered the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, to push the door open first, enter yet another hall, and see the new three gates of Buddha, Dao, and Demon again.

The three gates required the cultivation of the peak of the sixth layer, which was not something Yuan Dasheng could enter.

Unlike Ning Zhuo then echoed the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, allowing Yuan Dasheng to successfully retreat from the pass and enter the reward segment again.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was furious.

In the past, Unlike Ning Zhuo only cheated himself; now, even his mechanical puppet was cheating!

The Xian Gong shook, and Meng Kui took action again.

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator was exhausted, constantly worrying about the Xian Gong rioting, triggering a volcanic eruption, and causing a catastrophe that would leave the people in misery.

Inside the Xian Gong, it was a scene of peace and quiet, and Unlike Ning Zhuo still had some small expectations.

"What should I choose this time?"

"Hmm? There are still Illusion Truth Lotus Seeds?"

"If my guess is correct..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and chose the Illusion Truth Lotus Seed again.

The second Illusion Truth Lotus Seed followed the Human Life Hanging Thread and was sent into his Spirit Sea, quickly merging with the previous divine ability embryo.

Soon, the lotus seed, which had originally just sprouted, merged into one, and the sprout of the lotus seed grew a full double in length!

Seeing this scene, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit suddenly felt a bit less angry.

It did not expect that after suffering a loss once, Unlike Ning Zhuo would still want to gamble. Therefore, he chose the second Illusion Truth Lotus Seed.

All the Illusion Truth Lotus Seeds rewarded in the Lava Xian Gong were imprints of a part of the essence of the Human Life Hanging Thread divine ability.

The quantity was limited, first come, first served.

But comprehending the divine ability was truly too difficult, too difficult.

Unlike Ning Zhuo making such a choice, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit gloated!

Thus, under the suspicious gaze of the City Lord, the Lava Xian Gong, which had been rioting a moment ago, suddenly and slowly calmed down.

"What exactly is going on with this Palace Spirit?" Meng Kui frowned, unable to figure it out no matter how he thought.

Yuan Dasheng pushed the door out, then retreated from the pass to claim the reward again.

For the third time, Unlike Ning Zhuo still chose the Illusion Truth Lotus Seed!

Seeing this, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit rolled with laughter, the waves of mocking sound echoing in the main hall.

The fourth time, and also the last time.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, unable to continue, still chose the Illusion Truth Lotus Seed.

After three consecutive Illusion Truth Lotus Seeds merged, the embryo of the lotus seed had grown into a small lotus root arm.

Following this came a massive amount of comprehension, like flowing water, constantly impacting Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul.

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly comprehended carefully, and in this process, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was currently in the small cultivation secret room, surrounded by floating clouds, obscuring his vision.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo turned his head to stare in a certain direction, his brows tightly furrowed, a ghostly light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

At the courtyard gate, Ning family Qi Refining cultivators were patrolling.

Da da da!

A series of rapid hoofbeats came.

A carriage seemed to have lost control, rushing toward the small courtyard.

The Ning family cultivators first shouted to stop it, then immediately cast spells.

But the spells could not stop the carriage; the latter fiercely smashed the courtyard gate and rushed into the courtyard.

Adjusting its direction slightly, it rushed toward the bedroom where Unlike Ning Zhuo was.

"Enemy attack!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to have descended from the sky, having just blocked the carriage, when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Boom!

The next moment, the carriage self-destructed, kicking up intense heat, firelight soaring into the sky, the shockwave of the explosion pouring out in all directions.

Everything was incandescent in the explosion.

The roof of Unlike Ning Zhuo's house was first lifted off, then the walls were collapsed, and all the furniture and arrangements inside the room were wiped out in the explosion.

The violent explosion almost leveled the surroundings.

In the smoke and dust, the Ning family guards gathered together again.

Only two Foundation Establishment cultivators remained; the other two Qi Refining cultivators had already sacrificed their lives in the explosion.

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators was the one who had appeared to intercept the carriage, and his injuries were not light. But he ignored himself entirely, instead frantically searching for Unlike Ning Zhuo's whereabouts.

This was the target they had to protect!

But the previous house had already disappeared, and even the small cultivation secret room that Unlike Ning Zhuo had just built not long ago was left with only a small section of broken walls and ruins.

"It's over, it's over, Unlike Ning Zhuo is dead!"

"No, we still have hope."

"Right, right, the basement, there is a basement here."

Thus, the Ning family duo pinched finger seals and dug the ground frantically.

They soon dug out a passage.

After entering the basement, they found that most of the basement's framework no longer existed, having collapsed for the most part.

But what made them immensely happy was that Unlike Ning Zhuo was indeed here.

"You are still alive!"

"Thank heavens!!"

The Ning family Foundation Establishment duo were almost moved to tears of joy.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's aura was weak, and he seemed to have injuries on his body: "Two clan brothers, let's not talk about anything else for now, quickly set up a formation to protect me."

"Also, quickly send a message to the family, let the family send people to meet us."

The Foundation Establishment duo woke up as if from a dream, one of them nodding frantically: "Yes, yes, that's what should be done!"

A temporary magic formation was set up, and Unlike Ning Zhuo was inside the formation.

Outside the formation, the two Foundation Establishment guards dared not be the least bit careless. At any sign of trouble, they would both, without a word, launch spells at the first opportunity.

Not long after, the Ning family's reinforcement team arrived here.

Ning Xiaoren took the lead, welcoming Unlike Ning Zhuo out of the formation: "Nephew, nephew, hearing the news of your attack, your uncle was so worried, my heart burning with anxiety all the way!"

"Fortunately, you have your own heavenly signs, surviving this fatal killing blow."

"Too dangerous!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo first bowed, then asked: "Uncle Ning, the murderer is extremely vicious, actually blowing up my residence. This was left to me by my mother, and now it has become a ruin."

"When can you catch the Demon cultivator who attacked me?"

"If I don't catch him, I won't be able to rest easy for a moment!"

Ning Xiaoren looked troubled, weighed his words, and persuaded Unlike Ning Zhuo not to be impatient.

"For now, let's escort you back to the family residence first."

"You should still live in my mansion; it will be much safer."

This time, Unlike Ning Zhuo did not have much room to refuse.

But he thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Ning, I don't want to always trouble you."

"Speaking of which, when I was at the academy, I stayed at my uncle's house."

"How about this time, I still go to live at my uncle's house. Anyway, they are also in the inner circle of the clan grounds."

Ning Xiaoren thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Very well."

"If you are not used to living at my place, I won't force you."

"I will send some extra guards to protect you day and night."

"You might not know yet, but the Qi Refining geniuses among the four major forces of Fire Persimmon Immortal City have all been assassinated and have various injuries. Ning Xiaohui is already unconscious. Your situation is considered relatively good."

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately showed a look of horror, whispering in shock.

Ning Xiaoren sighed, his brows tightly locked, full of worry.
