Chapter 165

Unlike Ning Zhuo hammered away, using the facilities in the preparation room, and quickly processed the hanging rings, small flying boxes, and other mechanical parts he had selected before.

The hanging ring was transformed into a cocoon-binding hanging ring. When thrown out and touching an object, it would burst out countless threads, wrapping the target object layer by layer, forming a cocoon and hanging it on the ceiling.

The small flying box was changed into a flying shield. The shield circled around the puppet's body, could automatically defend, and could also absorb various spells attacked. When the spell power accumulated to the storage limit, the small flying box shield could self-destruct, and the explosion power was quite considerable.

Unlike Ning Zhuo named it "Honest Man."

Unlike Ning Zhuo processed these modified mechanical parts and distributed them to everyone else.

For a time, everyone practiced in the preparation room and praised Unlike Ning Zhuo's craftsmanship.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took advantage of the crowd being immersed in practice, stood in front of the five-sided stone pillar, and under the disdainful gaze of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, "groped" out the mark of the trial disciple.

"Come and take a look, everyone, look at what I found!" Unlike Ning Zhuo exclaimed.

The crowd gathered around.

Unlike Ning Zhuo showed everyone the trial disciple mark he had "just" obtained.

The crowd was overjoyed.

Many people said: "This discovery is too important!"

"The help for exploring the Xian Gong in the future is really too big."

"A-Zhuo, with this contribution, I think you can get Ice Jade Wine!"

"Ice Jade Wine?!" Unlike Ning Zhuo instantly showed a look of yearning, "I've heard of it since I was a child, I really want to take a sip."

"Who hasn't?!" The crowd laughed, and morale rose again and again.

Just like this, Unlike Ning Zhuo led everyone, relying on the modified mechanical parts and his own incomparable control ability, successfully broke through checkpoints one after another, all the way to the eighth checkpoint!

Yuan Dasheng appeared in front of everyone.

"This mechanical ape has finally appeared!"

"A-Zhuo, I'm afraid we can only stop here this time."

"But it doesn't matter, this result is already quite extraordinary, we broke the previous record!"

"That's right, after returning to the family, A-Zhuo, you will definitely receive a heavy reward."

"Maybe there will be Ice Jade Wine, hahaha."

Having broken through to here, the Ning family members were all at the end of their rope. Because Unlike Ning Zhuo deliberately arranged it, in the previous several checkpoints, he had successively "sacrificed" a few companions.

When Yuan Dasheng appeared, his puppet giant shrank significantly, leaving only five companions.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's fighting intent was firm: "If we haven't fought, how can we say we lost. Let us work together and fight this mechanical ape to the death!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and morale was fully mobilized by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

However, Yuan Dasheng's strength was very "powerful," and the heads on the huge puppet were killed and exploded one by one.

After only Unlike Ning Zhuo was left, Yuan Dasheng knelt on one knee: "Lord, the end general is rebellious, actually attacking the Lord, please punish the Lord!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo coughed, tried his best to play the role of the Lord, first said this was a bitter scheme, and then let Yuan Dasheng make up for his crimes.

Unlike Ning Zhuo picked and chose, carried a set of equipment, let Yuan Dasheng open the way, passed the ninth checkpoint, and entered the transit hall.

Pushed open the first Buddha door and broke through three checkpoints in a row.

At the reward stage, he had no more Illusory Truth Lotus Seeds to choose from, so he chose a spell to enhance the simultaneous sensing of multiple mechanical creations.

He entered the second transit hall, urged the sixth-layer peak Mirror Platform Psychic Technique, and successfully pushed open the second Buddha door.

"A brand new checkpoint, here I come!" He stepped in.

He returned in defeat.

The first checkpoint after the Fomen was quite difficult, and he was a little short and didn't break through.

After he woke up, what greeted him were the compliments and congratulations of his clansmen, and Ning Xiaoren's personal arrival, with a face full of joy, persuasion, and encouragement.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's performance this time was truly amazing!

Unlike Ning Zhuo took the opportunity to put forward his own request: "Uncle Xiaoren, with this merit, can I get Ice Jade Wine?"

Ning Xiaoren's eye corners twitched, his face full of smiles, and he patted Unlike Ning Zhuo's shoulder: "Okay, I will fight for it for you with all my strength!"

Nandou Kingdom Capital.

Inside the Golden Palace.

The Nandou King looked at the memorial in front of him and frowned deeply.

This memorial was jointly submitted by Meng Kui, the City Lord of the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, and Zhu Xuanji of the Divine Catch Division.

"Fire Persimmon Mountain, sure enough, there is still a problem!"

"Dispatch reinforcements..."

The Nandou King felt very embarrassed.

In this world, it is not that the Nandou Kingdom is the only one. Once the matter of the Void Refinement-level legacy is leaked, it will inevitably attract countless covetous eyes. All major forces will extend their tentacles.

Unless the Nandou Kingdom dispatches heavy troops, it really cannot guard the Fire Persimmon Mountain.

The Nandou King knew clearly that at present, there has been crazy armament between cultivation countries, chasing each other for nearly a hundred years. Some major countries still have some spare power, but medium-sized countries like the Nandou Kingdom are already exhausted. As for those small countries, they have long fallen behind.

The Nandou Kingdom has heavy troops and great generals guarding every key location and border line, forming a balance of confrontation with surrounding countries and forces.

To dispatch heavy troops, it is necessary to transfer these troops and generals, which is a major event that affects the whole body.

Of course, there are also idle military forces, and it is the strongest army of the Nandou Kingdom—the Imperial Guard.

But this army is responsible for guarding the capital, and its significance is very significant, so it must not be moved lightly. It is impossible to dispatch the Imperial Guard just because something happened in a Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, right?

And the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is still a new city in the Nandou Kingdom, and the cultivation resources, national population, etc., it possesses are relatively low.

Dispatching heavy troops is immature, what about transferring some strong people?

The Nandou King quickly thought about the candidates, and his brows frowned even tighter.

The Nandou Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, and the forces of the old ministers in the court are intertwined. They intermarry and form alliances, and their interests are entangled together.

People from the Meng family and people close to the Meng family cannot be chosen.

Then can others be chosen?

Those who are qualified to confront the Meng family, such as the Su family. If you choose someone from the Su family, isn't it giving an opportunity to let the Su family participate in the competition for the Lava Xian Gong?

Are there people who have no connection with these old minister forces?

There are.

But wouldn't such a candidate be targeted and recruited?

In fact, this kind of thing has happened too many times.

The Zhu family has held the Nandou royal power, and it has always been unstable. Because from the root, the founding Retired Emperor had no royal mandate! It all relied on the divine ability of the Three Sects Master.

The Zhu family passed to the third generation, still without a royal mandate, and even less descendants to inherit the divine ability.

"Since your Zhu family can be the master of a country, why can't my clan?" The Meng family, the Su family, and other major cultivation clans have restless minds.

The Nandou King felt lonely and cold at the high place.

Under such circumstances, only those in the royal family can be considered reliable!

However, the talents in the Nandou royal family are withered, and Zhu Xuanji is already the most outstanding one.

If it weren't for this, the Nandou King would not have deliberately sent Zhu Xuanji to the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

As a king of a country, the Nandou King thought about it, and among all the civil and military officials, there was no suitable candidate to go and reinforce!

Now, the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is full of wind and clouds, and heroes are coveting it. How to handle it?

The problem was placed in front of the Nandou King.

A few days later.

The imperial envoy from the Nandou Kingdom capital floated high in the sky and chanted in a long tone: "The King has an edict, please the Fire Persimmon City Lord receive the edict."

"Respectfully following the King's edict: The Lava Xian Gong belongs to the Three Sects Master and is not the property of this country. The Three Sects Master cared for the common people, pitied the world, and left behind an imperial palace to suppress the Fire Persimmon Mountain for many years."

"The Nandou Kingdom used this to build a great array and create the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng; the Three Sects Master has made indelible contributions."

"Now, the Xian Gong is born, selecting successors. The Nandou Kingdom feels the compassion of the Master and is happy to see it succeed, and should not obstruct it."

"However, the Lava Xian Gong suppresses the volcano, which concerns the safety of hundreds of thousands of city people, and cannot be moved. This is also the original intention of the Three Sects Master."

"Now set up a recruitment order, widely recruit talents, regardless of background, let them enter and exit the Xian Gong, compete for the right of succession, and set no external prohibitions."

"Those who inherit the Xian Gong can enter the court as officials, up to the fourth rank! Those who do not want to enter the court, according to the recruitment order, must return the position of Palace Master. The Nandou Kingdom court must give sufficient compensation."

"Those who enter the city and enter the palace without signing the order are enemies of the Nandou Kingdom, execute them, and can receive heavy rewards from the capital..."

The words of the imperial envoy were like a great bell, the words were clear, and they spread throughout the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain.

Countless city people raised their heads and listened quietly.

After listening, the silent Fire Persimmon Xiancheng suddenly boiled, countless people cheered, and countless people ran to tell each other!

"Did you hear that?"

"The Three Sects Master, that is a Void Refinement-level strong person."

"He is really great, I only know now that the greatest contributor to Fire Persimmon Mountain is him!"

"He actually left behind an imperial palace, and the Lava Xian Gong still wants to select successors?"

"Too great! This is such a rare opportunity."

"I feel that I am the future master of the Xian Gong! It turns out that the turning point of my life is here!"

Meng Kui stood up, took the imperial edict flying over with both hands, and thoughts flickered in his eyes.

The Nandou King actually made such a handling, which was somewhat beyond Meng Kui's expectation.

Before, the Meng family spreading the news of the birth of the Lava Xian Gong was his idea.

The reason was that Meng Kui could no longer stop Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji brought the Golden Core ancestors of the three families to frequently enter and exit the Xian Gong, and the significance of Meng Kui sitting here was only to suppress the riots of the Xian Gong.

On the contrary, his continued sitting here gave Zhu Xuanji the best reason to win over the three major families.

Meng Kui was worried that Zhu Xuanji would make a breakthrough here and eventually inherit the Xian Gong.

Especially since Meng Kui saw with his own eyes that Zhu Xuanji took out three mechanical beasts with quasi-Golden Core combat power and handed them over to the Lava Xian Gong in exchange for contributions.

This move was quite large, and it could be seen that Zhu Xuanji came prepared. Or more accurately, the Nandou royal family gave strong support behind Zhu Xuanji.

Plus Meng Chong's side, which suffered repeated setbacks. The mechanical ape and mechanical puppets were too powerful, and Meng Kui couldn't see the possibility of a short-term breakthrough.

Various reasons prompted Meng Kui to take the initiative to spread the intelligence, and then lead the wolf into the house, rely on his own troops, and force the royal family to make subsequent reactions.

The inside story of the Nandou Kingdom, the Meng family knew clearly.

Meng Kui concluded that the Nandou King had no way to transfer heavy troops to suppress the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. In this way, it was to dispatch strong reinforcements.

And the cultivation of the strong person was at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Meng Kui thought that this situation was the most likely. He had already notified the Meng family that once this candidate was decided, the Meng family would take action and carry out full recruitment.

But in the end, the imperial envoy brought the imperial edict and brought a recruitment order!
