Chapter 132

"Third, the contemporary Fire Persimmon City Lord Meng Kui has a divine ability called Sitting Mountain View, which is very remarkable."

"Among the four generals of the Meng family, Meng Kui is the only wise general. He has operated Fire Persimmon Xiancheng for many years, and the government is harmonious."

"You have Golden Core cultivation, golden eyes, and magic treasures from the national treasury to protect your body, and your combat power is outstanding."

"However, once Meng Kui casts Sitting Mountain View, it will cause a fortune field, making the fate of the living things in the field change drastically."

"There are very few treasures that suppress fate. You have no heavy treasures to protect your body, it is difficult to suppress your own fate, and you will be interfered with."

"I will give you a wind-rising bell as a warning."

"The minister kowtows to thank the royal grace." Zhu Xuanji knelt on the ground again.

Finally, the Nandou monarch waved his hand: "The relevant intelligence and secrets of the Lava Xian Gong are recorded in the royal secret realm. Before you set off, go and see, which will help you complete this task. Remember, all secrets must not be leaked."

"The minister obeys the order!" Zhu Xuanji took the order and retreated.

Zhu Xuanji left the capital.

Alone, hiding his name, traveling long distances, until Fire Persimmon Mountain.

"Meng family..." Zhu Xuanji's face was gloomy. In Nandou Kingdom, the Su family and the Meng family were equally famous, and their forces were equivalent.

Zhu Xuanji sneaked all the way to the top of the mountain and was discovered.

He used his golden eyes to look at the Lava Xian Gong from afar, which was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

He took Chi Dun, visited the Zheng family, and obtained relevant intelligence about the black-shadow demon cultivator.

He went deep into the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave, used the Trace-Tracing Technique, and found that the fire essence and the mechanism fire-exploding monkey were the real culprits who bombed the Xian Gong.

Then, the investigation was blocked.

Whether it was the mechanism fire-exploding monkey or the fire essence, these two clues were deliberately designed by people, and the value was extremely low.

At the Fire Persimmon Festival, Zhu Xuanji monitored the whole scene and did not find a shadow of the black-shadow demon cultivator.

Yuan Dasheng's performance made him sympathetic. Yuan Er made him disappointed and disgusted.

From the fragments of those mechanism fire-exploding monkeys, he collected countless clues again.

He decisively gave up, believing that this was the enemy's suspicious soldiers, and did not want to be involved in energy and time.

He guessed that the black-shadow demon cultivator might have joined forces with a certain force in the city. The other party had long been prepared for the Trace-Tracing Technique and was hidden very deeply, which was a difficult opponent.

Zhu Xuanji decided to work hard.

He requested all the records of the four major forces and constructed a list of suspects.

He deliberately published the list, hoping to beat the grass and startle the snake.

Zhu Xuanji acted high-profile and investigated Li Leifeng first.

As a result, he was calculated.

Li Leifeng died of old age, and Zhu Xuanji specifically investigated secretly, confirming that it was a fact.

Since then, he spent his time wholeheartedly, first inspecting in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, reading the past performance of officials and clerks, and did not get a suitable candidate.

He specifically wrote a memorial and sent it to the royal family, stating the truth, hoping that the Zhu family could send a member here to take on the responsibility of the park director.

Zhu Xuanji continued to investigate.

Demon cultivators resisted, so he killed Zhao Die.

He also killed Liu Ying and confirmed that the other party did not master the thread of life divine ability.

He made a big fanfare and acted high-profile, triggering a series of repercussions.

The demon cultivators and loose cultivators in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng left, gathered together, and attached themselves.

This could not stump Zhu Xuanji.

The investigation still progressed step by step.

During this period, the Qi Condensation geniuses of the four major forces were attacked and assassinated at the same time.

Zhu Xuanji immediately took action to investigate.

He found many clues, the key points of which were cut off, but most of them still pointed to Seeing Fei Si.

Zhu Xuanji knew it in his heart and held back.

He was quite disappointed in his heart, knowing that this was not the real culprit he was looking for, but a secret confrontation between the four major forces.

The three major families wanted to use him, use him as a gun, to deal with the City Lord's Mansion, so as to seek profit for the three families themselves.

Zhu Xuanji understood and withdrew in time.

A few days ago, he went to the Zhou family to ask about Chu Xiyao.

During the interrogation, the Zhou family specifically sent a clan elder to accompany her to support Chu Xiyao.

Zhu Xuanji did not find that Chu Xiyao was lying and walked out of the Zhou family with a blank face.

"A bit interesting." He looked up at the sky.

Beating the grass and startling the snake like this, disturbing countless people, but did not provoke the real culprit.

"The person behind the scenes is hidden very deeply."

Zhu Xuanji unfolded the suspect list and looked at it again.

His list was divided into three sections.

The first section was cultivators who were confirmed to have entered the Lava Xian Gong, such as the two Golden Core cultivators of the Zheng family, a Golden Core ancestor of the Zhou family, Li Leifeng, Zhao Die, Liu Ying, Chu Xiyao, etc.

The second section of the list was cultivators who had considerable mechanism art attainments and met the standards for entering the palace, but the four major forces had no relevant records of this person entering or leaving the Xian Gong. Among them was the Young Guest!

The third section of the list was cultivators who had mechanism art attainments, had entered or left the Xian Gong, or had no relevant records, but were publicly recognized as dead.

The first section of the list had already been checked by him, and it was the turn of the second section.

After checking two people, it was the turn of the Young Guest.

The Young Guest was very mysterious, but had sold many and a large number of mechanism creations in the black market. The last time he appeared, he teamed up with Han Ming to raid the Ziyang Courtyard, cooperated with the mysterious third person, and successfully stole a large number of pills.

The strange thing was that these pills appeared in the Fire Persimmon Forest and then disappeared mysteriously.

Zhu Xuanji had long known this clue, but after thinking about it, he felt that the relationship between the Young Guest and the black-shadow demon cultivator had no suspicion.

Sun Lie tampered with the pills to guard against Han Ming. The Young Guest's group might have seen through the means, determined that the pills could not be used, so they abandoned them.

And they were busy for nothing. In order to retaliate, or to divert the disaster, they threw the pills directly into the Fire Persimmon Forest and framed the black-shadow demon cultivator.

Once the City Lord's Mansion and the black-shadow demon cultivator fought, the Fire Persimmon Forest would definitely suffer, and the City Lord's Mansion would suffer heavy losses. At that time, these demon cultivators would watch from the sidelines, and would definitely be gloating and happy.

Zhu Xuanji approved of Seeing Fei Si regarding the handling of the Fire Persimmon Forest.

Seeing Fei Si did his duty in his position and truly protected the huge wealth of the Fire Persimmon Forest. This was not only for the City Lord's Mansion, but also for the Nandou Kingdom.

Zhu Xuanji's logic for inferring the relationship between the Young Guest and the black-shadow demon cultivator was quite simple and straightforward—if the Young Guest and others really had a connection with the black-shadow demon cultivator, why didn't they send the pills secretly? Why did they have to be so high-profile, making everyone know?

And now, Zhu Xuanji followed the list and still found the Young Guest.

"The master of the black market is called Sun Lingtong, at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage, and is an outer disciple of the Kong Sect. He must know something."

With this idea, Zhu Xuanji came to the door.

"Young Guest..." Sun Lingtong turned his big eyes and said with a hippie smile, "What is Lord Zhu looking for him for?"

Zhu Xuanji was expressionless: "You just need to cooperate and tell the details. What I am looking for him for has nothing to do with you."

Sun Lingtong scratched his head: "Oh, in front of Lord Zhu, I can't lie."

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: "Sun Lingtong, I have investigated you. Although you are the master of the black market, you are not a heinous person. In these years, you have rectified the black market and you have also strictly observed the rules you promulgated. To some extent, you can be considered to have avoided many bloody disputes."

"Just tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you."

Sun Lingtong spread his hands: "Then I will say it, I know the whereabouts of the Young Guest. But if the adult wants to know, you must have this."

Saying this, Sun Lingtong stretched out his pink fingers and rubbed them in front of Zhu Xuanji.

"You want money? Hehehe." Zhu Xuanji was laughed angrily, "Since I started handling cases, I have never spent money to buy clues. You are also climbing the pole, bold."

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Zhu Xuanji's eyes.

He changed his face: "No, you are lying!"

"Even if I spent money, you wouldn't reveal the truth."

This time it was Sun Lingtong's turn to change color.

"A bit interesting." Zhu Xuanji stared at Sun Lingtong, the golden light in his eyes flourishing, "You protect the Young Guest so much, looking at it this way, you also participated in the Ziyang Courtyard case?"

Sun Lingtong shouted: "Lord Zhu, what are you talking about?"

"You want to frame me!"

"I, I, I, I am just a child, you are an adult, you face-to-face frame me, bully me?!"

"Come on, come and see, Lord Zhu the God Catcher is bullying people!"

Sun Lingtong sat on the ground, beating his chest and stomping his feet, crying loudly: "Too bullying! No kindness at all, royal family members bullying common people!!"

"Woooooo!"

"I don't want to live, I can't live anymore."

"I was framed, framed by the Zhu family. The dignified God Catcher, talking nonsense without evidence!"

"How can I live in the future?"

"My reputation!"

"How will others look at me, God."

"I might as well die, woooooo, I am so pitiful."

"Record this scene with a jade slip, I will keep it for future grievances."

"Come and see, the Zhu family royal family is bullying common people!!"

Sun Lingtong was crying, rolling on the ground, his pink legs and arms swinging wildly.

Zhu Xuanji:...

The small vendor who was just kicked to the ground by Sun Lingtong:...

It was the few burly men brought by Sun Lingtong, who were silent and accustomed to it. Among them, one really took out a jade slip and held it in his hand, recording the scene.

Zhu Xuanji was laughed angrily: "You think you can escape my investigation by rolling like this?"

"Sun Lingtong, stand up, don't let me look down on you."

Sun Lingtong wailed: "No, I won't. Come and see, someone is bullying a child."

While crying, he crawled toward Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji subconsciously retreated a few steps, but was still hugged by Sun Lingtong on his calf.

Zhu Xuanji was annoyed, while shaking his leg, he shouted: "Sun Lingtong! You are the master of the black market, a person on the table, what is the difference between you and a three-year-old child now?"

Sun Lingtong: "I don't care, you are bullying people. If you have evidence, take it out."

"Woooooo, you beat me to death, Lord Zhu, you beat a child to death. You are the Lord Zhu who investigates hidden things and calms the people, what can you be wrong about?!"

This movement attracted many eyes.

Zhu Xuanji's face turned blue, and he shook his legs frantically.

Sun Lingtong hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go, like a dog-skin plaster.

He also rubbed his face on Zhu Xuanji's trouser legs, wiping his snot and tears on it.

Zhu Xuanji: "Sun Lingtong, you are too much!"

Sun Lingtong shouted: "You beat me to death, Lord Zhu, you beat a child to death. You are the Lord Zhu who investigates hidden things and calms the people, what can you be wrong about?!"

Zhu Xuanji was so angry that he gave birth to a murderous heart. Just at this moment, a bell sound rang in his divine sea dantian.

It's the wind-rising bell!
