Chapter 231

The current Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had already been swept into a huge vortex, unable to help itself!

"If it weren't for Ning Xiaohui, I would never have revealed this key information to Unlike Ning Zhuo!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was very unwilling, and while sighing, its expression suddenly shook violently, revealing a look of horror.

"Life hanging by a thread!"

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is trapped in a crisis and urgently needs key intelligence. He couldn't get it from Ning Jiufan, yet he obtained it from me."

"The reason I had to help him is because of Ning Xiaohui."

"And even though Ning Xiaohui hates Unlike Ning Zhuo, she has also been planted with 'Life Hanging by a Thread.' Her fate can also be used by Unlike Ning Zhuo!"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was, of course, quite familiar with the divine ability 'Life Hanging by a Thread.'

Realizing the secret struggle of fate and the mysterious changes and influences, its head couldn't help but shrink into its shell.

The complete version of the 'Life Hanging by a Thread' divine ability was already exerting its effect.

It's just that very few people can perceive it!

Even the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had only glimpsed a corner of the influence and changes of fate.

Unlike Ning Zhuo fell into silence.

He understood the implication of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's words—the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, as the Palace Spirit, could not take action against the trial disciples itself, but he could!

The reason the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit notified him was also because it knew Unlike Ning Zhuo could stop Ning Xiaohui.

The reason was simple.

Life hanging by a thread!

Unlike Ning Zhuo had long since planted 'Life Hanging by a Thread' on Ning Xiaohui.

Once this divine ability was activated, it might be able to put Ning Xiaohui to death.

"But all of this requires careful consideration."

If Unlike Ning Zhuo directly used the divine ability, it would inevitably invite an investigation from Ning Jiufan.

Ning Xiaohui is a genius, possessing the Ice Fat Jade Hands, and is the face of the main branch at the Qi Refining level.

Once she died, the entire Ning family would be shaken.

The investigation by the Ning family and Ning Jiufan wasn't much, but the real threat was Zhu Xuanji!

And according to the current alliance relationship between Zhu Xuanji and the three families, he would almost certainly participate in the follow-up investigation.

"Besides, I still didn't have time to ask the Fire Spirit about the method of Foundation Establishment." Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed.

Both times he communicated with the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, he was in a rush and had no opportunity to ask about the Foundation Establishment method to confirm his previous conjectures.

Unlike Ning Zhuo licked his dry lips, stopped overthinking, and immediately entered the Xian Gong with his soul.

He needed to contact Sun Lingtong immediately.

Although there were other ways of contact, these methods could no longer be used now.

"Zhu Xuanji asked me a few questions and then left."

"His arrival and departure were grand, only giving me three days to give him an explanation. It was truly all thunder and no rain!"

"This is very inconsistent with his low-key style when investigating cases in the past."

"Therefore, he likely planted some kind of monitoring method on me or in this room."

"Using conventional methods to contact Sun Lingtong is equivalent to self-exposure."

"Now I can only pin my hopes on Sun Lingtong also being in the Lava Xian Gong!"

Since Sun Lingtong was brought into the trial level by Unlike Ning Zhuo, he also subsequently obtained the status of a trial disciple.

This meant he could freely enter and exit the Lava Xian Gong.

The puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo appeared in the first room, and the puppet Sun Lingtong, hiding in the corner, immediately rushed over.

"What exactly happened? Why did Zhu Xuanji look for you?" Sun Lingtong asked.

Although he was in the underground base, he had always kept an eye on the situation in the outside world.

Such a big thing happened, causing a stir throughout the city, and Sun Lingtong soon found out.

He immediately thought that he definitely couldn't use the old methods to contact Unlike Ning Zhuo anymore. This was too dangerous.

Thus, he immediately set off and entered the Lava Xian Gong first to wait.

He felt that if Unlike Ning Zhuo wanted to contact him, he would definitely use this method.

Sure enough, he waited for Unlike Ning Zhuo! Unlike Ning Zhuo also contacted Sun Lingtong.

This is the tacit understanding developed between the two brothers over more than a decade!

"This is not the place to talk." Unlike Ning Zhuo first took Sun Lingtong and broke through to the depths of the Lava Xian Gong.

They first arranged the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, in the previous level, and after ensuring there was no one else in the room they were in, Unlike Ning Zhuo then concisely revealed the details.

Sun Lingtong's reaction did not exceed Unlike Ning Zhuo's expectations.

"Since Zhu Xuanji is investigating you and gave you three days, why not take advantage of this time and just run away."

"If it's really found out, you will be severely punished by the laws of the Nandou Kingdom! The Ning family definitely won't be able to protect you; only the Void Gate is a relatively safe place."

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been eavesdropping on their conversation, and upon hearing Sun Lingtong's suggestion, it couldn't help but feel anxious.

If Unlike Ning Zhuo ran away, what would happen to it?

At this time, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit didn't dare to interrupt directly, so it could only pace back and forth in the main hall in a hurry.

It prayed secretly, hoping Unlike Ning Zhuo could do something good, and even if he ran away early, he should deal with Ning Xiaohui first.

Unlike Ning Zhuo rejected Sun Lingtong's suggestion.

"Boss Sun, you know I won't give up easily!"

"The Lava Xian Gong is of great significance to me."

"And now it hasn't reached the point of being truly at the end of my rope."

"I have already come up with some countermeasures."

Sun Lingtong sighed; when he was persuading Unlike Ning Zhuo, he had already anticipated Unlike Ning Zhuo's response.

"Tell me, what countermeasures do you have, and what can I do to help you?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo told him to go to the secret base first and assemble the Golden Core-level mechanical ape.

As of now, the production projects Unlike Ning Zhuo had distributed outside were all finished.

On the basis of the skeleton and armor already being ready, Unlike Ning Zhuo would fill in the mechanical parts he obtained from the Lava Xian Gong and assemble them to get a Golden Core-level mechanical ape.

"Currently, we urgently need Golden Core-level combat power to prevent any unexpected events!"

Sun Lingtong nodded: "I'll help you assemble it."

The skeleton and armor were already in the underground secret base.

The mechanical parts on Unlike Ning Zhuo were a bit troublesome to hand over.

But relying on the brothers' cooperation over more than a decade, as well as their rich experience in black market smuggling, it was only troublesome, not a difficult problem.

"Besides that, I also need Boss Sun to play Yang Chanyu once, and then play the black-shadow demonic cultivator once."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "I'm quite familiar with Yang Chanyu, no problem."

"But the black-shadow demonic cultivator... I haven't seen him."

Unlike Ning Zhuo then said: "I have seen him with my own eyes."

"Ever since Fire Persimmon Mountain, I had a premonition that I might need to use this identity to disguise myself to facilitate things. So I prepared some clothes in advance and hid them in the C-grade underground secret base."

Unlike Ning Zhuo then told Sun Lingtong the specific hiding place of these clothes.

While Sun Lingtong kept it in mind, he couldn't help but pat Unlike Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Preparedness prevents calamity; that is indeed your style of doing things. Not bad, not bad."

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued: "Now the True Scripture has been refined away and has become a part of the Golden Blood Battle Ape."

"But the True Scripture can exist, and it must exist!"

"Boss Sun, can you forge a True Scripture?"

"To gain the trust of others, we can also throw in the Demonic Dyed Blood Tendon Art of the ninth layer of Qi Refining."

Sun Lingtong thought for a moment: "I will do my best to forge the True Scripture, but I cannot guarantee the specific actual effect."

"After all, the person we want to deceive is a Golden Core-level figure, especially with someone like Zhu Xuanji among them, who masters the Heavenly Capital Golden Eyes."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded and sighed at the sky: "I understand! Given the current situation, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"If something happens to me, Boss Sun, please take the Golden Core-level mechanical ape and flee here immediately."

"I reckon I will be detained by Zhu Xuanji as a prisoner and sent to the capital of the Nandou Kingdom to stand trial."

"If you are still free, perhaps you can find an opportunity to save me."

"If possible, take both the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, and the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, with you."

"I still have some treasure-hiding places, and you know the specific addresses."

"By the way, I also have a treasure seal..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was planning to tell Sun Lingtong about the existence of the Buddha Heart Demonic Seal as well.

Sun Lingtong reached out his hand to stop him from continuing.

Sun Lingtong was a bit angry: "Enough! Little Zhuo, this time we will definitely succeed."

At this moment, Sun Lingtong showed strong confidence and a fighting will even firmer than Unlike Ning Zhuo's.

"For more than a decade, the two of us brothers have joined hands, and there has never been anything we couldn't accomplish!"

"So, we can also overcome this difficulty."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud three times, patted Sun Lingtong on the shoulder, and said in an incomparably firm tone: "Boss Sun, you are absolutely right!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong parted ways to explore the demonic path with all their might.

Sun Lingtong left him and his soul returned to his physical body.

"Little Zhuo." When he was alone, Sun Lingtong finally showed a worried expression.

He knew that the words Unlike Ning Zhuo last told him were just an excuse to coax him into escaping alone.

This showed that Unlike Ning Zhuo had no confidence at all in overcoming this difficulty!

Sun Lingtong could fully understand.

Because if it were him, he would be even less confident than Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The situation this time was quite dangerous.

"Little Zhuo not only has to face Zhu Xuanji's investigation but also faces the life-and-death problem of Ning Xiaohui."

"His method is quite risky, and the forged True Scripture is the most critical prop."

"Can I really succeed?"

Thinking of this, Sun Lingtong became even less confident.

After all, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and it was his first time competing with a figure like Zhu Xuanji in this way.

"There is someone more talented than me."

"Perhaps I should go ask her for help?"

At this moment, Sun Lingtong thought of Yang Chanyu.

Yang Chanyu's cultivation was higher than his; she was a Golden Core True Disciple of the Void Gate.

The Old Cicada Art that Yang Chanyu practiced was even more adept at disguise.

Once such a thought appeared, Sun Lingtong could no longer suppress it.

He took a deep breath and soon made a decision—to seek Yang Chanyu's help in private.

He secretly left the underground secret base alone, looked up at the sky and the sun, thinking that he had been holed up in the underground base recently, and this time he finally saw the daylight.

He walked quietly in the alley, followed the secret marks that were difficult for ordinary people to perceive, and soon found Yang Chanyu.
