If the energy expands, war will occur frequently, and the wind and clouds will be agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Wind-Rising Bell was bestowed by the King, specifically used to detect drastic changes in energy and the influence of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wind-Rising Bell rang, is it natural energy flourishing, or is someone doing it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji subconsciously looked up at the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long known about Meng Kui’s divine ability, Sitting on the Mountain Watching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong was so entangled, Zhu Xuanji would not retreat.

Now that the Wind-Rising Bell had rung, if he continued to be trapped in this game, he would inevitably be affected. Even if he closed his doors, the energy would be entangled, the energy would change, and he would still be sitting at home, with disaster coming from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji himself had no means to interfere with energy. For the current plan, he could only withdraw early. If he was outside the game, he would not be affected or disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I will spare you for now, I will find you.\" Zhu Xuanji released his magic power and shook Sun Lingtong away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared in place and left the city at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying hundreds of miles away from Fire Persimmon Mountain, the Wind-Rising Bell stopped ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a small-scale energy fluctuation, the energy changes so drastically, Meng Kui’s suspicion is even greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If later, the energy field does not expand, eight out of ten is Meng Kui’s Sitting on the Mountain Watching divine ability!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji’s face was gloomy, and he immediately decided to rely on the detection range of the Wind-Rising Bell to verify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji left the city, and Ning Zhuo entered the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike when he left the city, Ning Zhuo’s team had Yuan Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er and Ning Zhuo sat in a carriage, his eyes glancing from time to time at the Tree-Martial Battle Ape, Dasheng, sitting beside Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation between the two came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s it.\" Ning Zhuo sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the origin of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that a few days later was the anniversary of Yuan Yi’s death, and Yuan Er, as his son, had to sweep the tomb for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more than a dozen places where Yuan Yi was buried, and the real tomb was the desolate wilderness where Yuan Dasheng lost control and was driven by emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anyone has any doubts, just slap the jade slip in their face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, quickly make a dozen copies of the jade slip—no, hundreds—and distribute them for safekeeping to prevent them from being confiscated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong’s methods were seasoned and ruthless; he intended to establish his reputation first, then use that reputation to pressure Zhu Xuanji, preparing for the scenario where he might come looking for trouble again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji left the city, and Ning Zhuo entered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike when he left the city, Ning Zhuo’s group now included Yuan Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er sat in a carriage with Ning Zhuo, his eyes glancing from time to time at the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, sitting beside Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation between the two came to a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it is,\" Ning Zhuo sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had figured out the whole story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that in a few days, it would be the anniversary of Yuan Yi’s death, and as his son, Yuan Er had to visit the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were over a dozen locations where Yuan Yi was buried, and the true grave was the one in the wilderness where Yuan Da Sheng had lost control, been dominated by his emotions, and arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other fake graves were all intentionally set up by Yuan Yi. On one hand, it was to prevent others from robbing the grave to vent their hatred; on the other, it served as bait to lure enemies hiding in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were many methods in the cultivation world to use remains to curse others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er had not wanted to leave the Monkey Head Gang’s base, but for this sacrifice to his ancestor—the founder of the Monkey Head Gang—he had to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gang elders were also urging him to do it. If he didn't, he would inevitably be branded as cowardly and unfilial by those with ulterior motives. For Yuan Er’s already miserable reputation, this would be a fatal blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er had no choice but to comply. He had originally wanted to contact Ning Zhuo to urge the completion of the Yuan Da Sheng puppet, but the messengers he sent out had all disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er did his utmost to hide his tracks, deliberately setting out several days early to make the pilgrimage in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, an accident occurred during his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ambushed, his attendants were all killed, and he was left alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, he fled toward his father’s burial site, only to find himself saved from the jaws of death when he encountered the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it was Yuan Da Sheng, under Ning Zhuo’s orders, who stepped in to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ning, this is the Monkey Uncle puppet you made for me, right? It must be!\" Yuan Er could not hold back, his eyes fixed intently on Yuan Da Sheng, his face full of urgency and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is truly strong; its combat power far exceeds the peak of Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ning, you are a man of your word; I admire you immensely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er praised him endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and patted the arm of the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng: \"This is only the initial version, just finished. My trip outside the city was mainly to find wild spirit beasts and test the power of the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, through actual combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng...\" Yuan Er chewed on the name, his eyes brightening as he gave a thumbs up. \"Mr. Ning’s mastery of mechanism arts is profound, and your naming skill is also extraordinary. Fitting, extremely fitting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we complete the handover now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head: \"No rush, no rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Through actual combat with spirit beasts and cultivators, I discovered that the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, still has many areas that need improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will only hand it over to you once I have finished the improvements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything produced by me, Ning Zhuo, must be a fine product. I would never deliver a crudely made initial version in such a rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er’s eyes widened, and he said anxiously: \"But, Mr. Ning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, I am in danger right now, too much danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, if I hadn't luckily run into you, I would have died—died at the hands of those shameless, insidious, and ruthless assassins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-the point is, you even let a few assassins get away. I, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Yuan Er was so agitated he stuttered and couldn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sighed, spread his hands, and offered a perfect explanation: \"I couldn't see the specific scene at the time; I am only at the Qi Refining stage, not Foundation Establishment, so I don't have spiritual sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, relies on my staff head for control. The staff head stores my spiritual thoughts, and the setting I applied to it is that it will engage in unrestricted combat upon encountering any target with hostile intent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, when some assassins lost their killing intent and fled in a panic, the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, was not triggered, and thus did not pursue them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had been there, I certainly would have rooted out the evil completely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er blinked repeatedly, his mouth dry: \"I know about the staff head, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, Mr. Ning, ever since you promised to build me a Foundation Establishment-level puppet, I have scoured the gang’s library, cramming relevant knowledge day and night, and practicing the control methods for various mechanisms to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you give the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, to me now, I will definitely be able to make good use of it! I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo’s face darkened, and he said with displeasure: \"Enough, Gang Leader Yuan Er, you don't need to persuade me further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my principle. I will not hand it over until I have finished improving the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must understand that inferior goods will lower my reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I intend to walk the path of mechanism arts in the future; my reputation must be protected from the very beginning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo spoke righteously, completely forgetting the time he had made the inferior Fire-Exploding Monkey mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Cha were to hear this, he would surely feel greatly comforted, believing that Ning Zhuo had mended his ways and that the prodigal son’s return was a fortunate event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er’s breathing was heavy, and he opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say many things, but under Ning Zhuo’s stern expression, he ultimately said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ning Zhuo was only at the Qi Refining stage, his status was no longer what it used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical carriage he rode in and the guards accompanying it made Yuan Er feel the gap in their respective statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo continued to soothe him: \"Gang Leader Yuan Er, don't be too nervous, it’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have entered the city now; I will take you directly to the gang’s base in a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have already paid your respects to your father, and I can testify to that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can make good use of this connection to fiercely intimidate the traitors in the gang. I presume they won't be so insane as to let assassins into the gang’s base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er’s face turned pale: \"Yes, they shouldn't be that reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the enemies left behind when my father and Uncle Da Sheng rose to power are a different story!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately retorted: \"They can't get into the gang’s base either. If they could, they would have succeeded in the assassination already, wouldn't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, in the past, Yuan Da Sheng wasn't always guarding your side, was he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Yuan Er’s forehead: \"This, that seems to be the case... it should be like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Mr. Ning could deliver the goods now, that would be best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er’s face was full of sorrow, his tone pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head ruthlessly, refusing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he kept his word and sent Yuan Er directly back to the Monkey Head Gang’s base, drawing the gaze of countless gang members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er was somewhat reluctant to get out of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ning Zhuo’s urging, he looked back at the Tree Martial Ape, Da Sheng, with unwillingness before finally stepping out of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go back,\" Ning Zhuo waved his hand, and the group set off again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Yuan Er standing in place, he watched the mechanical carriage disappear from view before he moved his leaden feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the empty inner room, his longing for Yuan Da Sheng intensified to the extreme, causing him to silently shed two lines of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>",1957,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","00feffba30a00f9219434511b76db83eae14c95ef4d370587f4e4b9e202639f4","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-134","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-132",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
