Their side was simply not in the same league as it; once they fought, it would all be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppets of the three families were like facing a great enemy, all staring fixedly at Yuan Dasheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng had a red body and golden bones, with countless pitch-black stripes distributed all over its body, making it full of evil spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries it caused during its previous breakthrough had been temporarily repaired by Ning Zhuo. Although its related abilities were greatly weakened, at least it looked the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the puppets of the three families dispersed, vaguely surrounding Yuan Dasheng, with no one attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng scanned everyone, ignored them, and walked straight to the No. 1 door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, it pushed the door open and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long spears on the wall stabbed out in unison, but were easily blocked by Yuan Dasheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy hammer smashed down from above, but Yuan Dasheng lightly grabbed it and threw it to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Yuan Dasheng held the heavy hammer high and reset the mechanism trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continued to move forward, leaping constantly between walls and obstacles, as if it were roaming happily in a mountain forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looking through the door crack saw this scene, and for a time, they were all speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on with this mechanism ape?\" Ning Zhuo looked at the Zhou family cultivators, \"You seem to know something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family cultivators denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said: \"Didn't you see? This ape mechanism is clearly different from ours. We have the ability to act by assembling parts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this kind of mechanism ape is directly teleported in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Zhou family cultivator added: \"Look at each other, we are all wooden bodies, but look at it, it is more than one grade higher than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we really want to besiege it, we will definitely lose more than we win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zheng family cultivators stared at Yuan Dasheng in the No. 2 room, extremely puzzled: \"But why did this mechanism ape appear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps...\" Ning Zhuo pondered, \"Perhaps it was specially arranged by the Three Sects Masters to teach us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this mechanism ape, it clearly has the strength to break through the No. 2 room, but it has been jumping between various mechanism traps, as if playing, and also as if teaching us how to break through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ning Zhuo say this, everyone felt their eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zheng family cultivator slapped his thigh: \"It seems that is exactly the case!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family cultivators remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, wiped them out once, they had been actively researching and speculating after returning to the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their first guess was: Yuan Dasheng was a Fire-Melting Demon Ape in the Fire Persimmon, because it heard the Dharma-Transmission Bell, achieved success in cultivation, projected its soul into the Immortal Palace, and assembled an ape puppet to compete for the inheritance of the Lava Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the flaw in this guess was obvious: the mechanism parts in the No. 1 room were all of uniform wooden material. The materials used for the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, were clearly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, they guessed whether this was an arrangement of the Lava Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the breakthrough person reaches a certain standard, for example, the number of people? This kind of mechanism ape would be activated in the Lava Immortal Palace to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also thought about whether it was still a demon cultivator competitor. In the later levels of the Lava Immortal Palace, it was allowed for the breakthrough person to change their puppet body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, there were various guesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, was similar to when it was alive, but for others, it was difficult to associate it. Because in the eyes of many people, monkeys basically looked the same. Even, when looking at different races, they were basically face-blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today’s encounter, everyone saw with their own eyes that Yuan Dasheng was teleported over, not by soul projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made some of the Zhou family’s original guesses stand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit kept moving its chin left and right, grinding its teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It snorted from its nostrils, anxious and angry, occasionally clenching its fist and smashing it on the armrest of the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It knew the truth best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ning Zhuo use Yuan Dasheng in public, yet keeping everyone in the dark, and even some of the Zhou family cultivators who knew the truth were covering for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single smart one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit became angrier the more it looked, yet it couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so angry that the entire Lava Immortal Palace began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Persimmon Mountain Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heavy curtain of clouds and smoke, City Lord Meng Kui immediately opened his eyes. Seeing that the Lava Immortal Palace was about to riot again, he sighed helplessly, his expression gradually becoming serious, ready to activate the array to suppress the riot at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo observed Yuan Dasheng through the door crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yuan Dasheng’s spirituality became self-sufficient, its reaction was more sensitive than before. Facing complex obstacles and traps, the solutions it chose became more numerous, no longer as monotonous as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if it had really come alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in Ning Zhuo’s perception, his control over Yuan Dasheng still felt like there was a layer of thick gray cloth, very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mechanism ape has been staying in the No. 2 room, neither advancing nor retreating, as if playing with these mechanism traps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s continue, ignore it for now!\" Ning Zhuo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family cultivators hesitated: \"The mechanism traps at the door have been restored, we must combine to resist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we enter the No. 2 room and are attacked by the ape, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shrugged: \"We can’t just not try anything this time. Staying here until our soul power is exhausted is not as good as taking a gamble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark was strongly agreed with by the two Zheng family cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family cultivators looked at each other and finally nodded: \"The five of us will form a combination, and you follow up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the mechanism ape attacks us, please be sure to hold it off first, so that we can separate into individuals as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining into a huge mechanism puppet would greatly reduce combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo agreed to the Zhou family cultivators’ method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family’s big puppet squeezed through the door, took the wall spears, deflected the heavy hammer, and even tripped over the net on the ground, clearing the traps at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yuan Dasheng did not attack, the Zhou family cultivators breathed a sigh of relief: \"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ning Zhuo and the other two pushed the door and entered, very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, Yuan Dasheng let out a low roar, suddenly turned around, and killed everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family cultivators were horrified; some wanted to counterattack, some wanted to turn and run, some decided to hold their ground, which led to the Zhou family’s combined puppet spinning in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng fell like a meteor, directly smashing them to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, we still have to fight!\" Ning Zhuo gave a low shout and pounced up, very brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng reached out and lightly plucked, plucked off Ning Zhuo’s puppet head, and threw it directly into the nearest mechanism trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was seen clearly by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng’s fists were extremely heavy, pointing out all the puppets one by one and completely defeating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators could only return their souls to their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng jumped into the trap again, took Ning Zhuo’s head, and re-inserted it onto the puppet body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\" Ning Zhuo stomped his feet, shook his hands, and started the action with Yuan Dasheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did it end so quickly?\" Someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zheng family cultivators were full of seriousness and said impatiently: \"Although we lost this time, the harvest is great! We discovered the mechanism guards of the Lava Immortal Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New intelligence summarizes new viewpoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, the mechanism monkey should be an obstacle specially arranged by the Lava Immortal Palace when there are too many people in the group, to maintain the difficulty of breaking through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, very likely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why hasn't Ning Zhuo returned yet?\" Ning Xiaoren was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s it.\" He looked at the intelligence conveyed by the other two families and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo is unlucky; his puppet head was plucked and thrown into the trap. He can only return when his soul power is exhausted,\" Ning Xiaoren sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Fire Persimmon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two black-clothed demon cultivators stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at Fire Persimmon Immortal City on the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The distress signal was sent from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, didn't expect a genius like Han Ming to actually fall here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually she doesn't put us in her eyes.
