Chapter 23

The Lava Xian Gong floated up step by step, with golden pillars and red bricks, magnificent and vast, bringing huge visual shock.

The dazzling firelight set off the entire Xian Gong, like a god's mansion.

The entire Fire Persimmon Mountain trembled, making a terrifying roaring sound.

The vast earth power surged, magma boiled, and shot upward, reaching several feet high!

The cultivators fled in all directions, as small as ants under this heaven and earth power.

The current city lord of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng appeared, his face full of solemnity. He activated the array laid out at the crater and poured in the magic power of the Nascent Soul stage with all his strength.

Countless cyan-green brilliance condensed in mid-air, forming a net-like array, covering the magma giant pillar that was about to rush out of the crater.

The two sides collided and stalemated fiercely.

The earth shook!

The entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was awakened, countless people ran out of their residences, looking at the collapsed or crumbling houses, terrified.

The black smoke of the volcanic eruption rolled upward, like a demon disaster descending, wanting to swallow all living beings and heaven and earth!

The black smoke rose indefinitely, the cyan-green brilliance did not dissipate, and the mountain-protecting array remained strong, avoiding the occurrence of human tragedy.

The earthquake gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.

The Lava Xian Gong stood in the crater, like a giant lying down. Above its head was ten thousand feet of black smoke, rolling and swaying, and beneath its feet was scorching magma, boiling endlessly.

The Xian Gong had golden pillars and red bricks, with towering high towers, majestic main halls, and exquisite side halls, possessing the fierceness of fire, the firmness of gold, and the solidity of earth.

Countless gazes, whether suspicious, curious, or greedy, were all attracted by the Lava Xian Gong.

But the next moment, the city lord's face was pale, and he flew down slowly from high altitude.

He waved his long sleeves, the array was activated, and in the change of light and shadow, the Lava Xian Gong was covered up, and it could no longer be seen.

The casualties of the cultivators at the crater were devastating, and those who explored inside the volcano were even more dead without a corpse.

Zheng Shuanggou took the Ning family remnants, drove a cloud, and flew in front of the city lord: "Lord City Lord."

He reported, communicated with spiritual sense, very quickly.

The city lord understood the cause and effect, his face was full of solemnity, and his gaze was extremely cold: "Investigate! Investigate fiercely for me, must make that black shadow demon cultivator pay the price of death!"

He also glanced at the Ning family remnants behind Zheng Shuanggou: "These people also need to be investigated, all the surviving cultivators will be detained first, and strictly interrogated!"

"Do your best to collect all clues about the black shadow demon cultivator."

"If discovered to be his accomplice, punish without mercy!"

The city lord was the only Nascent Soul level cultivator in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, and at this moment his mood was very bad.

During his tenure, the Lava Xian Gong was discovered.

But he didn't report it, but chose to hide it from above.

He wanted to cover up the Lava Xian Gong, digest it internally by his side, develop it secretly, and finally make the Xian Gong his own.

Facts did not go as he wished.

The Zhou family and the Zheng family successively discovered this secret.

The city lord had no choice but to compromise and secretly make a contract with their two families. This year, the Ning family also discovered this secret.

The Ning family also had a Golden Core level, and was also a great cultivation clan in the Xiancheng, and the city lord had already prepared to accept them.

The four strongest forces in the Xiancheng competing and developing the Lava Xian Gong together, excluding other outsiders, was the situation the city lord had painstakingly managed and wanted to seek.

But now, this situation had almost fallen apart!

"Black shadow demon cultivator, this damn black shadow demon cultivator!!" Thinking of the murderer, the hatred deep in the city lord's heart was about to surge like a tide.

"What to do?"

The city lord endured the anger and hatred, pondering the handling plan.

He was just a city lord sent down by the Nandou Kingdom, and he couldn't cover the sky with one hand.

"Hateful! Once the news reaches the capital, it won't be up to me to decide!"

He was just one of the high-level officials of the Nandou Kingdom, and compared to the entire Nandou Kingdom, even if he was Nascent Soul level, he was very fragile.

"Sigh... let's hide it as long as we can."

"Fortunately, the Lava Xian Gong was not completely born, but stayed in the crater. As long as I repair the array, and at the same time arrange rolling clouds and smoke to block it, and issue a ban, then..."

Clang clang clang!

A series of bell sounds suddenly came from the depths of the volcano.

The bell rang long, resounding through heaven and earth.

People who heard the bell, at the same time, gradually had a cultivation technique appear in their minds.

The city lord's heart was shocked, his face became very ugly, and he blurted out: "Dharma-transmitting Bell?!"

The night was deep.

The entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was still in chaos. Countless houses collapsed, the city people discussed fiercely, and the vast majority of people looked up at the summit.

The big movement of the city lord and the Xian Gong just now made at least everyone clear—something extraordinary must have happened at the summit!

Just at this time, a deep and vast bell sound came!

Clang clang clang...

The bell sound surged, resounding through the clouds.

The bell sound shook the outer walls of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, echoing in countless alleys.

It covered the high court, it spread to the mortal residences. It stirred every inch of airflow in the air, wrapping the entire Xiancheng.

It accurately penetrated into the heart of every intelligent life, shaking the heart field!

Countless people screamed and shouted, but the next moment, they were attracted by the cultivation technique chapters gradually formed in their minds.

City Lord's Mansion.

A burly youth was sleeping soundly on the ground, awakened by the bell sound, and suddenly opened a pair of big eyes.

"Wa ya!" He shouted, supported his arms, stood up fiercely, bringing out a burst of strong wind.

"Enemy?!" The burly youth was full of caution.

At this time, Fire Persimmon City Lord transmitted sound: "Meng Chong my grandson, quickly comprehend, this is the Dharma-transmitting bell sound, it is the key to competing for the Lava Xian Gong!"

"Dharma-transmitting Bell?" The burly youth Meng Chong got the reminder, immediately stood still, his posture straight like a spear, his eyes dull, but staring dead ahead, desperately remembering and comprehending the cultivation technique presented in his heart field.

Zhou Family.

Young cultivators Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu were jointly studying the mechanism diagram.

The two were one short and one tall, one weak and one strong.

In an instant, their expressions and movements froze.

After the bell rang for a few breaths, Zhou Zeshen was shocked: "Quick quick quick, this seems to be the Dharma-transmitting Bell. The bell sound contains cultivation techniques! Quickly comprehend."

Zhou Zhu was silent, usually relying on Zhou Zeshen's ideas, and immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Zheng Family.

Zheng Jian was strictly checking the family account books.

This young cultivator wore a headband, and a pupil-shaped gem was erected in the center of the headband.

The steward standing in front of him was pale and sweating profusely.

Zheng Jian suddenly snorted coldly, threw the account book on the ground, and whispered: "The fake accounts you made, can you still hide them from me?"

The steward trembled all over and fell to the ground.

At this time, the bell sound came.

Zheng Jian listened for a few sounds, his face changed drastically, and he waved the steward away: "Can't ask you for now, get out!"

Ning Family.

As the recognized genius in the clan—Ning Xiaohui, she made too many talismans during the day and was exhausted. Even though the bell sound was transmitted, she still frowned and fell into a deep sleep, not waking up.

Ning Ji was cultivating, shocked by the bell sound, breaking his state, full of suspicion: "What the hell?"

Crater.

Zheng Shuanggou was still driving the cloud.

On the cloud, the Ning family cultivators were swaying.

Not just them, other cultivators were also mostly lying or sitting in place.

"Opportunity, this is opportunity!" The cultivators were ecstatic and memorized bitterly.

Ning Chen sat down, closed his eyes tightly, locked his brows, and went all out.

Ning Yong covered his forehead tightly: "Ah ah ah, remember it for me, brain, rely on you, remember it for me!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was surprised and happy in his heart: "I succeeded! The selection standard of the Lava Xian Gong was beaten down by me."

"But its selection method has changed, directly transmitting Qi Refining stage cultivation techniques."

This was something Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't expect.

Like other cultivators, Unlike Ning Zhuo stood still and listened carefully to the bell sound.

The bell sound gradually transformed into a cultivation technique—"Five Elements Qi Law Formula"!

"With this cultivation technique, I can now get rid of the Ning family's 'Snow Region Talisman Diagram Canon'."

For a time, the relief, excitement, and sense of achievement of long-term planning, personal risk, and results exceeding expectations stirred the youth's heart.

It is exactly—

Mechanism fire monkey leaps into magma, Cang Tie cold armor breaks dawn frost.

Buddha and demon deeply hide the heart of the machine, the Xian Gong shakes and sees the light of heaven.

The Dao bell roars and transmits new laws, the Five Elements Qi Law is naturally close.

Cultivate to the endless root, remove the seal and break the lock to walk freely!
