Chapter 229: Watching the show and getting burned oneself
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit eavesdropped on the conversation of Zhu Xuanji and the other Jin Dan cultivators, and not long after it started, the whole spirit felt bad.
It clenched its dragon claws into fists and smashed them repeatedly on the armrest of the throne.
"The one who blew up the Immortal Palace is not the City Lord's Mansion, but Ning Zhuo."
"What are you doing? What are you doing?!"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit gritted its teeth, its face full of hatred that iron did not become steel.
It wanted to get rid of Ning Zhuo. Because among all the competitors, Ning Zhuo was the most threatening to it.
Then the Zhu Xuanji it had high hopes for actually led all the Jin Dan ancestors astray by himself.
"What kind of Divine Catcher are you?"
"What are you doing? You are simply losing face for the name of Divine Catcher!"
However, when the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit heard halfway, it gradually fell into silence.
"Don't say, you really don't say..."
"According to the clues collected by Zhu Xuanji, his guess is really quite reasonable."
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit thought from another perspective; if it stood in Zhu Xuanji's perspective to think, it was really the City Lord's Mansion that had the greatest suspicion.
"But... why did things develop like this?" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit asked itself.
It soon got the answer.
"It's all Ning Zhuo's fault!"
"He is really too good at acting, too good at hiding."
"But then again, who would have thought that he, a mere youth, only sixteen years old, with only third-level Qi Refining cultivation, would dare to blow up the Immortal Palace."
This kind of behavior is simply lawless to the extreme, and it is also greedy to the extreme; the thin chest of the youth contains ambition beyond what the world can imagine!
One must know, the entire Lava Immortal Palace is a legacy left by a Void Refinement level great power.
A Void Refinement level cultivator of the same level becoming the Master of the Immortal Palace is the most reasonable.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivation inheriting the position of Lava Immortal Palace Master is the most suitable.
And at the Nascent Soul level, it was barely enough; the Jin Dan level grade was already not enough.
And Ning Zhuo was not these cultivation bases at all; he was at the Qi Refining stage, the bottom of the cultivation world.
This feeling is like a small ant wanting to eat a tiger or leopard, which is really laughable.
But the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't laugh at all.
Because it witnessed how Ning Zhuo survived in the cracks of several major forces, how he calculated them, and how he controlled part of the situation.
And how his own cultivation expanded and soared, how he mastered the complete divine ability "Human Life Hanging by a Thread," how he saw the situation and acted, and built his own small force.
Ning Zhuo was quietly approaching the throne of the Lava Immortal Palace step by step!
So far, no one has noticed him!
Such an experience and character are exciting enough and inspiring enough, but standing from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's perspective, the feeling is completely different.
It wants to regain its freedom; if Ning Zhuo really becomes the Palace Master, it will have no confidence to escape!
"Ning Zhuo is just a little monster." Ning Zhuo was only at the Qi Refining stage, but he brought the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit the most real and heavy fear.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit continued to listen.
When it heard that these Jin Dan ancestors planned to use Ning Zhuo as bait to lure the City Lord's Mansion into making a mistake and assassinating Ning Zhuo, it revealed a look of satisfaction and surprise for the first time.
"It's just... will the City Lord's Mansion take action against Ning Zhuo?"
Although the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was looking forward to this scene, reason told it that this possibility was not great.
"If the City Lord's Mansion really takes action, then Ning Zhuo will not have a good end and will likely die here."
"If the City Lord's Mansion doesn't take action, Zhu Xuanji and others will realize something is strange and reflect, and Ning Zhuo will have more trouble."
Thinking of this layer, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit immediately understood that no matter what the situation was, it was beneficial to it, and it couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.
"No matter what, Ning Zhuo has big trouble!"
"Hahaha, serves him right!"
"Who told him to covet the Lava Immortal Palace with such strength!"
"Not to mention anything else, just the secret attention of these Jin Dan ancestors to him is enough to stop Ning Zhuo from practicing freely as before."
"In this situation, he will inevitably suffer heavy monitoring, and wanting to break through to Foundation Establishment is even more impossible!"
Seeing Ning Zhuo so unlucky, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was happy from the bottom of its heart, and it couldn't help but look up and laugh three times.
Not long after it laughed, it heard the Jin Dan cultivators discussing Ning Xiaohui.
It heard Zhu Xuanji give an order to let Ning Xiaohui strive for the position of Pavilion Master of the Historical Pavilion.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't laugh at all.
At this moment, it suddenly discovered that the unluckiest one was actually itself!
Historical Pavilion!
This special mechanism building records all major events since the creation of the Lava Immortal Palace, as well as the detailed process of every event.
Many records in the Historical Pavilion are quite precious!
Once Ning Xiaohui becomes the Pavilion Master of the Historical Pavilion, she can easily check them.
The major and minor events that happened in the Lava Immortal Palace will all be displayed in front of her.
In this way, all the small actions the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit did to escape, all the conspiracies and tricks it used, and all its escape arrangements will be completely exposed!
It was like being hit in the vital point, and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit fell into a state of extreme panic.
"What to do? What to do?!"
"Once Ning Xiaohui takes office, she will know everything."
Unfortunately, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's authority was limited and it couldn't interfere.
It could only watch helplessly as Ning Xiaohui accumulated merit in the near future and then successfully became the Pavilion Master of the Historical Pavilion.
Ning Xiaohui's success was almost inevitable because no one was competing with her.
On the route of soul-entering the Immortal Palace, she was the only one with the status of a trial disciple.
Ning Xiaohui was now a Medical Practitioner and possessed the innate talent Ice-Fat Jade Hands, which was extremely good at repairing mechanism creations. Her speed of accumulating merit was far beyond the past and far beyond others.
The rank of the Pavilion Master of the Historical Pavilion was not high, and even if it wasn't the Pavilion Master, positions like verifier would be enough for Ning Xiaohui to read the records in the Historical Pavilion!
"What to do? What to do?"
"Zhu Xuanji! You guy, you are extremely slack in dealing with Ning Zhuo. But in dealing with me, you found the vital point at once!"
"You are really too ruthless, too ruthless! Why target me like this?"
"Also, why did the Ning family send Ning Xiaohui's victory report at this time, letting Zhu Xuanji discover the Historical Pavilion?"
"Why am I so unlucky?"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit paced back and forth in the main hall in a hurry.
It was watching the show and watching the fun, but suddenly discovered that the fire had burned onto itself!
It could no longer be calm.
"Stop, must stop Ning Xiaohui!"
However, relying on itself was completely impossible, because it was the Palace Spirit of the Lava Immortal Palace.
Facing those with trial disciple status, it couldn't take action at all, couldn't reveal the information and data of these people at will, and couldn't even lie.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit struggled in the abyss of despair, and suddenly, it stopped its steps.
"Wait a minute!"
"I can't do it, but someone can do it."
"To be precise... it's Ning Zhuo!"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit wanted to use Ning Zhuo.
"Ning Zhuo is consistent with me."
"Ning Zhuo blew up the Immortal Palace, and Ning Xiaohui will inevitably discover this from the Historical Pavilion."
"Ning Zhuo can help me!"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit became excited.
In fact, besides Ning Zhuo, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit didn't dare to contact anyone else.
It told Meng Chong some key information before, standing from the perspective of the Lava Immortal Palace, and didn't reveal its true identity.
"Currently, I can only contact Ning Zhuo."
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was forced to have no choice but to take this path to save itself.
Ning Zhuo's residence.
The flipped roof and floor had already been repaired.
Ning Zhuo sat on the cushion, silently healing himself.
A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounded him, showing concern, constantly asking what exactly happened?
"This is not something you can know, all retreat." Ning Zhuo's expression was cold, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators had to exit the room.
They closed the door and communicated with their eyes. Everyone's expression was not good, and their brows were full of suspicion.
Under Zhu Xuanji's strong pressure, the force Ning Zhuo had just built up immediately showed signs of collapse.
The loyalty of these former stewards to Ning Zhuo was worrying.
And the clansmen of the branch who took the initiative to defect to Ning Zhuo later were generally optimistic about Ning Zhuo's own development prospects and were here to make money, not to fight for their lives.
A part of them admired Ning Zhuo's performance and achievements, but most people supported Ning Zhuo just because there was no other option in the Ning family branch.
"What exactly did Ning Zhuo do to make Lord Zhu Xuanji act with such great fanfare?"
"He didn't say anything, how could we know?"
"Pay close attention to this matter, it seems the wind is not right."
"Yes, Lord Zhu Xuanji's attitude is clearly unkind. Could it be that Ning Zhuo did something bad?"
