Chapter 22

Relying on the direction in his memory, Ning Zhuo jumped lightly and jumped behind Ning Yong.

Ning Yong sensed wind behind him and subconsciously turned his head, his eyes wide like copper bells, but he could not see the Pale Iron Han Armor that was close at hand.

Ning Zhuo struck lightly, knocking Ning Yong unconscious, and then threw him into the corner of the wall.

Following the same method, Ning Zhuo also knocked Ning Chen unconscious and threw him beside Ning Yong.

After doing this, Ning Zhuo quickly retreated backward, running toward the magma lake with all his might.

"There is one person directly in front, five steps away."

"There are two people on the left hand, one step and four steps away."

"There are three people diagonally to the right, huddled together for defense, three steps away."

Although the black smoke obscured his vision and shielded his spiritual sense, Ning Zhuo had been prepared and had very clearly remembered the position of every Ning family cultivator a moment ago.

Others were like blind people, but he seemed to have his eyes open, accurately avoiding everyone along the way.

He rushed urgently all the way, his figure like lightning, and arrived in front of the magma lake.

Because he was protected by the Pale Iron Han Armor, he was not scorched by the heat at all.

"It's now!"

Ning Zhuo shook his storage bag and released the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey from the bag.

[Missing text/garbled]

The Fire-Exploding Monkey was half a person tall, its whole body fur was bright red, its muscles were bulging, and its movements were agile.

Under Ning Zhuo's control, the monkey did not hesitate at all and dived directly into the magma.

Ning Zhuo turned around and ran!

Every second counts!!

The Fire-Exploding Monkey dived all the way, swimming hard in the thick magma.

The terrifying heat quickly melted its pure red-as-blood fur.

The exposed muscles were lifelike, but the surface quickly became black, hard, and brittle, carbonizing rapidly in the magma.

The "blood" flowing in the Fire-Exploding Monkey's body fully exerted its heat dissipation effect, evaporating in large quantities, causing streams of steam to appear on the surface of the mechanical monkey's body.

When the Fire-Exploding Monkey reached the surface of the Lava Immortal Palace, its celestial gold skeleton had already been melted out.

But it succeeded!

Under the control of Ning Zhuo's heart seal, the storage array opened, instantly spitting out the stored thousands of catties of fire essence.

"It's coming." Ning Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.

Boom—!

The erupting heat wave, surging and surging, crashed out fiercely.

The next moment, the terrifying explosion sound exploded in his ears like thunder! The heat wave crashed fiercely against his back; fortunately, he had already activated the Pale Iron Han Armor, which withstood the impact force, so he did not break his bones.

Following the boost of the heat wave, he arrived at the position in his memory, arrived at the corner of the wall, bent down and scooped, accurately scooping up the two people.

It was Ning Yong and Ning Chen.

Ning Zhuo huddled in the corner of the wall, bent his waist and arched his back, protecting Ning Chen and Ning Yong in front of him, facing the direction of the explosion with his back.

The next moment, the firelight formed by the explosion attacked, actually briefly forcing back the heavy shadow smoke.

Ning Zhuo struggled to resist, only feeling the temperature behind him rising sharply, the iron armor melting, bringing him intense pain.

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to urge the Han Armor to defend.

In just a few breaths, the Foundation Establishment Pill was consumed by 20%, leaving only the last 10%.

Fortunately, the next moment, Zheng Shuanggou roared, sacrificed his magic tool, erupted with great power, and blocked the explosive red flames and the surging magma.

The black-shadow demon cultivator laughed loudly, "Zheng Shuanggou, this old man will be back!"

Before he left, he smashed out a black ball magic tool.

The black ball exploded again, adding countless dark shadow thick smoke.

Zheng Shuanggou's spiritual sense was limited, and he could not discover the situation three feet away at all, let alone lock onto the enemy. He also had to maintain the underground passage to prevent it from collapsing and being buried alive; he was so angry he wanted to vomit blood, but he could only stay in place.

When the black smoke dissipated, Zheng Shuanggou could only see the four walls of the passage that had been devastated to the extreme, and see that the original site of the magma lake had been covered by layers of magma.

As for the corner of the Immortal Palace building, it was completely buried.

Oh right, there were also a group of Ning family cultivators lying on the ground; some of them survived, but they were all unconscious.

Zheng Shuanggou cursed in a low voice, "Damn it!"

His gaze flickered for a while, and he did not rush to chase.

The mysterious demon cultivator had already disappeared, and Zheng Shuanggou was worried that he was being lured away from his base. To prevent the opponent from making a comeback, he simply stayed here.

He took action and rescued these Ning family cultivators.

Ning Zhuo triggered the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, feigned unconsciousness, and successfully deceived Zheng Shuanggou.

Waiting for the right opportunity, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the volcanic crater.

After this series of thrilling changes, only eleven Ning family cultivators survived.

"With the help of the black smoke, no one should have discovered that I am the culprit of the explosion!"

"This time, it went smoother than expected."

"It's just that although I detonated it, did I actually succeed?"

Ning Zhuo pondered secretly.

"I survived, I survived! Woo woo woo..." Ning Yong reacted and cried loudly.

Ning Chen also woke up from a dream, his face pale, and he was terrified, "The other newcomers are all dead. It's really luck that we survived."

The two of them did not know that the reason they survived was entirely due to Ning Zhuo's protection.

The two walked in front of Ning Zhuo, and Ning Chen asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Are you injured?" Ning Yong also asked.

After this life-and-death battle, the impression the two had of Ning Zhuo underwent a qualitative change. The calmness and courage Ning Zhuo showed during this thrilling exploration made the two secretly admire him.

The concern at this moment was also entirely from the heart.

Ning Zhuo was initially dazed, his gaze dull, but after reacting, he immediately showed the exhaustion and terror of surviving a disaster.

Such an expression did not affect Ning Chen and Ning Yong's perception of him at all; instead, they felt closer to him in their hearts.

Because they had just felt the great terror between life and death vividly! They felt the same way.

On the other hand, they could be considered to have fought side by side and lived and died together.

Ning Zhuo took a few deep breaths and smiled bitterly, "We actually all survived, it's unbelievable... It's really good... However, I never want to enter this Red Flame Demon Melting Cave again."

Ning Chen and Ning Yong hurriedly comforted him.

The awakened Ning family cultivators stood up, some treating their wounds, and some thanking Zheng Shuanggou on the side.

Zheng Shuanggou watched as a large number of City Guard cultivators filed in through the ground cave entrance and snorted coldly, "Your Ning family was used by that demon cultivator! He used your aura to hide, making me unaware for a moment. Later, he also lured out a small demon beast tide, still wanting to confuse the public."

"After you go back, prepare to apologize!"

The Ning family cultivators were stunned, and then expressed, "The opponent is a Golden Core demon cultivator, and our Ning family's strength is weak, which is why we were taken advantage of by the enemy. Moreover, our Ning family is the one that suffered the most!"

Zheng Shuanggou waved his hand impatiently, "Go tell these reasons of yours to your clan leader and the City Lord."

The good mood of the Ning family remnants who had just luckily survived was gone.

Before parting, the Ning family cultivators thanked him solemnly again, "Fortunately, Lord Zheng Shuanggou repelled the demon cultivator and did not let that person succeed."

No matter what, Zheng Shuanggou was their savior.

Just as the two sides were about to part, suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed!

Countless rays of treasure light broke through the large and small cave entrances, penetrated the white smoke of the volcano, and went straight into the depths of the night sky.

Under the feet of the cultivators, the large array sealing the volcanic crater operated at full speed, revealing dragon-and-snake-like array lines and array points.

The City Guards shouted and issued an alarm.

"What's going on?!" The Ning family cultivators swayed and could not stand still, and many people were screaming.

Zheng Shuanggou's face became extremely ugly, and the last trace of luck remaining in his heart was gone, "Bad! The battle just now ultimately affected the Lava Immortal Palace!"

Rays of treasure light penetrated the night sky, extremely dazzling.

The volcano trembled slightly, and the entire Fire Persimmon City was awakened!

A huge blue cloud palm covered the sky and suppressed it.

It descended from the sky, wanting to press all the treasure light back.

The bright red treasure light and the cloud hand stalemated for a moment, like a sharp sword piercing a god-like giant hand, and then drove straight into the depths of the night sky!

Large areas of the red rock block collapsed, and the scorching earth energy between countless cracks surged outward endlessly. Flames like angry dragons spewed everywhere.

The cultivators fled in panic.

Zheng Shuanggou simply did a good deed to the end, rolled up his long sleeves, and took the Ning family cultivators into the clouds together.

Looking down from high altitude, one could see the spire of a high tower in an unstoppable posture, like a spear rushing into the sky, rushing straight up. Subsequently, the entire high tower, like the axis of heaven and earth, broke through heavy obstacles and was fiercely displayed in the eyes of the world.

Immediately after, large areas of palace roofs broke through the heavy red rock blocks and slowly rose, rising toward the firmament.

The mountains roared, and heaven and earth shook!

The Ning family remnants swallowed their saliva, watching in a daze.

The rocks kept cracking, intense firelight emerged from countless cracks, golden-orange magma splashed everywhere, and heat surged wildly, making countless people terrified.

"L-Lava Immortal Palace?"

"The Immortal Palace has been born!"

More people could not speak.

Hidden deep in the ground in the past, now revealing its edge. Such a spectacle was truly shocking.
