~11 min read 2,150 words

"Telling you all to enter the Xian Gong with your souls every day, squeezing me out, forcing me to take the route of entering the Xian Gong with my body."

"But then again, it's thanks to you all, especially Unlike Ning Zhuo. Hehe, you opened up a new world for me."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't bully a young girl for being poor."

"When I achieve something in the future and stand before you, looking down on you, I look forward to your shocked expressions!"

The more Ning Xiaohui thought, the more excited she became, feeling that her days were wonderful and full of hope.

Especially not long ago, she received an order personally issued by Zhu Xuanji—letting her go all out to seize the position related to the History Pavilion.

Ning Xiaohui gladly accepted the order!

"As long as I do this well, I will be able to receive the appreciation of the Golden Core ancestors and enter the eyes of the Golden Core ancestors."

However, including Zhu Xuanji, the eyes of the Golden Core ancestors were all on Unlike Ning Zhuo at this moment.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's previous guess was not wrong.

Before leaving, Zhu Xuanji had secretly set up means to monitor him on his body and in his residence.

After Zhu Xuanji and the three families' Golden Core ancestors discussed properly, the three families' Golden Core cultivators also secretly moved out and successively hid around Unlike Ning Zhuo.

They each used their means to set up measures on Unlike Ning Zhuo himself and his surroundings, observing at all times.

They were hunters waiting for the rabbit, hiding their forms and traces, surrounding Unlike Ning Zhuo, quietly waiting for the City Lord's Mansion to make a mistake.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's residence.

Under the silent gaze of the six Golden Core ancestors, Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the elixir and swallowed it to heal his injuries.

After resting, he looked around.

In front of the Golden Core ancestors, he cast various detection spells, then used magic tools to detect, and manipulated the array to check.

As a result, he found no tricks.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was only at the Qi Condensation stage; even if the magic tools he used were of high quality and the array was at the Foundation Establishment level, he could not discover the traces of the Golden Core ancestors.

This action of Unlike Ning Zhuo, falling into the eyes of the Golden Core ancestors, was quite humorous and made people laugh.

Unlike Ning Zhuo summoned the guards outside the house again.

These people were all former stewards of the Ning family, possessing Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo let them guard the surroundings strictly and asked them if any suspicious people had appeared around.

The guards all replied: No suspicious situation or object.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was alone in the underground training room.

He sighed, took out the classics of mechanical arts to check carefully, his brows locked while reading.

After reading for a short while, he couldn't read anymore. He put the classics aside and came to the workbench, starting to tinker with various mechanical parts.

After tinkering for a while, Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed deeply again and pushed all the mechanical parts on the table away.

Many parts scattered on the ground.

Unlike Ning Zhuo reached out, grabbed his hair, and kept bumping his forehead against the table, making painful *ah ah ah* sounds in his mouth.

"The little guy's heart is in chaos."

Seeing this scene, the six Golden Core ancestors all felt that Unlike Ning Zhuo was restless, unable to read books, and unable to research mechanical arts. His pressure was too great!

Unlike Ning Zhuo knocked his broad forehead until it turned bright red, then loosened his fingers and slumped powerlessly onto the tabletop, eyes tightly shut, as if he were dead.

He kept this action for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and straightened his upper body abruptly.

He grabbed his hair with ten fingers again and let out a painful howl.

But this time, he didn't howl for long before he stood up and paced back and forth in the underground secret room with his hands behind his back.

His brows were locked, his face solemn.

Walking back and forth, sometimes stopping to sigh at the sky, sometimes howling painfully, as if venting. Sometimes his eyes were red, walking to the corner, his head against the wall, not using any magic power, and fighting with the wall with his forehead.

The Golden Core ancestors watched silently, and some also frowned slightly.

Zhu Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly, his face solemn, but he had quite a bit of empathy in his heart.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's pressure was far greater than his external performance!

His various detection spells did not observe any results, but his wisdom had already told him that he must be under heavy surveillance at this time.

Especially since there was a famous divine catcher among them!

Every action and every word of his now had to be perfect, without the slightest flaw.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The letter from Fei Si arrived in the evening.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the jade slip letter, hesitating for a long time, his expression changing constantly.

There was gravity, fear, and some resentment. It seemed as if he was blaming Fei Si; if it weren't for him, Unlike Ning Zhuo wouldn't have fallen into this situation!

Unlike Ning Zhuo finally sighed, gritted his teeth, and reached out to pick up the jade slip letter.

He pressed the jade slip against his forehead and kept pouring divine sense into it.

After checking the content of the letter, he sighed deeply again, his face full of worry, and placed the jade slip in his hand on the table.

He began to pace back and forth in front of the table with his hands behind his back again.

After pacing for a while, Unlike Ning Zhuo took out a blank jade slip and began to write a letter in the jade slip using magic power.

He wrote a letter to Ning Jiufan again, informing him that Fei Si had sent him a letter asking about the details of the day's events.

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't know what he should do and specifically wrote a letter to ask for advice.

Ning Jiufan received the letter very quickly.

To be precise, he had already seen Unlike Ning Zhuo writing the letter and guessed the content of the letter.

After waiting for this letter, he poured his divine sense into it and understood at a glance that his guess was completely correct.

Ning Jiufan didn't dare to make a decision alone and handed the letter to Zhu Xuanji and other Golden Core ancestors.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was clearly just a junior at the Qi Condensation stage, but his letter was checked by six Golden Core cultivators in turn; such importance was truly unprecedented.

After everyone finished reading the letter, they all focused their eyes on Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, this is a pitiful little guy who has already lost his head."

"Let him reply to the letter, reply to the letter as normal."

"Since Fei Si is suspicious and wants to get to the bottom of my purpose in coming to find Unlike Ning Zhuo today, then let Unlike Ning Zhuo tell the truth, which can just continue to beat the grass and startle the snake!"

Zhu Xuanji needed the City Lord's Mansion to make a mistake, preferably sending an assassin to assassinate Unlike Ning Zhuo, so that Zhu Xuanji could seize the handle.

Fei Si took the initiative to write a letter to consult, and Zhu Xuanji was actually a little worried.

He was worried that Unlike Ning Zhuo would reveal a flaw; facing an old fox like Fei Si, it was very easy to be seen through!

Simply, he decided to let Unlike Ning Zhuo tell the truth. Anyway, his conversation with Unlike Ning Zhuo before was also designed by him.

At that time, on the way Zhu Xuanji came, he had already set a goal to let the City Lord's Mansion feel the pressure from him.

In the bedroom, Unlike Ning Zhuo had already lain down. He tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep.

Suddenly, he received a secret voice transmission from Ning Jiufan.

Unlike Ning Zhuo opened his eyes abruptly, unable to hide his excitement, and then he was immediately warned by Ning Jiufan to only express himself normally.

Unlike Ning Zhuo came to the study, sat at the desk, held the jade slip, and began to write a letter.

Following Ning Jiufan's instructions, he told the truth about his detailed conversation with Zhu Xuanji.

Overall, there were two key points in the letter, the first was Yuan Dasheng, and the second was the Demonic Dao True Scripture.

At the end of the letter, Unlike Ning Zhuo deliberately asked Fei Si for advice: What did he know about the Demonic Dao True Scripture?

From early morning, Fei Si sat at the desk and began to handle various affairs of the Xiancheng.

His butt almost never left the seat.

It wasn't until the waning moon was on the treetops that he finally finished handling the affairs.

Of course, by tomorrow, or even tonight, new affairs would arise.

Once the Recruitment Order was issued, too many outsiders flooded into Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

This brought great pressure to the City Lord's Mansion in managing the Xiancheng.

If it weren't for Fei Si and Chi Dun working with all their might, exhausted, the city would have been in chaos long ago.

Fei Si was quite concerned about Zhu Xuanji's actions!

On one hand, Zhu Xuanji was a member of the royal family. And it had been determined that he was the biggest competitor of the City Lord's Mansion in competing for the Lava Xian Gong.

On the other hand, Zhu Xuanji went to find Unlike Ning Zhuo with great fanfare this time, coming aggressively, clearly something important had happened.

The people of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng were almost all talking about this matter. As the acting City Lord, Fei Si of course wanted to know the real details more.

Considering his close relationship with Unlike Ning Zhuo in private, he simply wrote a jade slip letter and went directly to ask Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"Finally replied." Fei Si took the jade slip written by Unlike Ning Zhuo and poured in divine sense.

After checking, Fei Si's expression moved slightly.

"Demonic Dao True Scripture?"

"What name?"

"Where would I know any True Scripture, yet you still come to ask me?"

Fei Si put down the jade slip in his hand, his brows slightly wrinkled, thinking rapidly in his mind.

"Is the Demonic Dao True Scripture the technique of the Three Sects' Masters?"

Fei Si thought of the Three Sects' Supreme Arts, thought of the conversation between Meng Kui and him, and thought of the City Lord's Mansion's speculation about the Three-Lower Dantian Foundation Establishment technique.

"If this Demonic Dao True Scripture is one of the techniques related to Three-Lower Dantian Foundation Establishment, and it is a set with the Five Elements Qi Law Technique..."

"Then obtaining this True Scripture is indeed of huge help in exploring the Xian Gong and seizing the Master of the Xian Gong."

"No wonder Zhu Xuanji would fly over in a hurry; this posture is clearly to pressure Unlike Ning Zhuo and force Unlike Ning Zhuo to hand over the Demonic Dao True Scripture!"

"But how did Zhu Xuanji know? Where did he get the clues to the Demonic Dao True Scripture?"

Since entering Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, every move of Zhu Xuanji had been closely watched by Fei Si.

After all, Fei Si was a strategist-type figure on the City Lord's Mansion side, and Zhu Xuanji came from the South Bean royal family and was an envoy sent by the royal family.

It was precisely because Fei Si had been closely watching in secret that he was very curious about where Zhu Xuanji obtained the clues.

"Recently, Zhu Xuanji led the three Golden Core cultivators to explore the bottom of the volcano openly."

"Could it be that they obtained clues to the True Scripture at the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain?"

With this question, Fei Si went to the top of the volcano to see Meng Kui.

He asked Meng Kui. After all, Meng Kui had always been sitting on the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain and should be clearer about the movements of Zhu Xuanji and others.

Meng Kui knew a little bit and immediately told Fei Si about the Mechanical Demonic General.

Fei Si exclaimed in his heart: "This time, the Ning family ancestor sacrificed so much!" ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
