Chapter 237: Rumors (Seeking monthly votes)

~11 min read 2,025 words

Seeing Fei Si realized: "Then everything matches up."

Then, he made a detailed report to Meng Kui.

Meng Kui pondered: "The Three-Dantian Foundation Establishment method will inevitably be of great help to my grandson Meng Chong."

"This Demonic Dao True Scripture should be strictly guarded by my City Lord's Mansion. If it falls into the hands of demonic thieves, I don't know how many lives will suffer again."

"Seeing Fei Si, go all out to find this True Scripture!"

Meng Kui issued the order directly.

Carrying the new order, Seeing Fei Si returned to the City Lord's Mansion again.

He sat at the desk and pondered.

"Where exactly is the Demonic Dao True Scripture?"

The person he suspected first was Unlike Ning Zhuo!

"This little guy Unlike Ning Zhuo is ambitious; it was he who led the way to eradicate Yuan Dasheng."

"At that time, he was so actively dealing with Yuan Dasheng and the Monkey Head Gang; was it really just because of the business of the mechanical fire-exploding monkeys?"

"Or is it that he had already accidentally learned the secret that Yuan Dasheng possessed the True Scripture through some channel?"

"At the Fire Persimmon Festival, he took the initiative to ask me for an identity badge... does this contain the element of using me?"

"However, if Yuan Dasheng possessed the True Scripture, after his death, the True Scripture should have leaked out and flowed to the most suitable carrier nearby."

"Before Yuan Dasheng died, Unlike Ning Zhuo and Yuan Er were both present. If the True Scripture leaked, these two people must be the ones in the know and the beneficiaries."

"They might have reached some kind of agreement in private!"

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Fei Si thought of this, his expression changed slightly.

Because he thought that Yuan Er was assassinated not long after.

And the foundation that his father worked hard to build, the Monkey Head Gang, was also directly annexed by Unlike Ning Zhuo not long ago.

"Could this be that Unlike Ning Zhuo and Yuan Er had an uneven distribution of spoils in private, leading the former to kill to silence the latter?"

"Unlike Ning Zhuo indeed has suspicion, and at the same time... he doesn't have much suspicion."

Seeing Fei Si thought deeply.

The reason he thought this way was—Zhu Xuanji had a very strong ability to distinguish lies.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is only at the third layer of Qi Condensation; it is impossible for him to deceive Zhu Xuanji."

"Oh, he has now obtained the Five Elements Qi Law Technique of the fourth to sixth layers, I'm afraid he has reached the fourth layer of Qi Condensation."

"But this doesn't make any difference; they are all at the Qi Condensation stage!"

"Unless he has some rare treasure that can resist Zhu Xuanji's investigation."

Seeing Fei Si thought of this and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This possibility was too small.

"According to Unlike Ning Zhuo's temperament, being so ambitious, if he had any rare treasure, he would have been jumping around long ago."

"It wouldn't be that he was ordinary for more than ten years, and only gradually emerged this year at the age of sixteen because of the Lava Xian Gong."

"He has the same temperament as me, the same type of person. Hehe."

"He couldn't have endured for more than ten years!"

Seeing Fei Si thought left and right, but couldn't think of any clues.

Since he couldn't think of it, Seeing Fei Si directly issued an order, sending people from the City Lord's Mansion to investigate around this matter.

There was one point that made Seeing Fei Si feel puzzled.

That was that Zhu Xuanji left Unlike Ning Zhuo three days to explain when he left.

"Explain what? Can't he explain on the spot?"

"Or is it that Zhu Xuanji considered the influence of other aspects?"

"After all, Unlike Ning Zhuo is now different from the past, a famous genius cultivator of the Ning family."

"To beat a dog, one must look at the owner. The trip to the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain, Ning Jiufan indeed paid a lot, and he was the greatest contributor to Zhu Xuanji's trip."

"Wait."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo explored the Xian Gong and repeatedly achieved amazing results; could it be because of this demonic technique?"

"Starting from this point, perhaps he has already mastered a quite profound essence sea cultivation base."

Seeing Fei Si let his thinking diverge. He was not a divine catcher; he guessed randomly, had no psychological burden, and didn't care about any evidence.

"Regardless, increasing the investigation is a must."

Seeing Fei Si found that he lacked key clues in his hands, and the intelligence was still too little to support him in making the correct judgment.

Soon, the power of the City Lord's Mansion was mobilized by Seeing Fei Si.

On one hand, Seeing Fei Si sent officers of the City Lord's Mansion to visit everywhere. On the other hand, he activated secret agents to spy on Unlike Ning Zhuo's real situation.

One night passed.

The Golden Core ancestors were communicating with each other.

"There are many secret agents around this little guy Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"How long has he been rising? It's quite normal for secret agents of other forces to lurk around him."

"Some don't count as secret agents; at most, they are just selling information to the outside world."

The loyalty of these subordinates gathered around Unlike Ning Zhuo was limited.

Especially those former stewards, the reason they could be openly dismissed by the main branch was because their hands and feet were not clean, and they all had more or less corruption.

What exactly happened between Unlike Ning Zhuo and Zhu Xuanji? All sizes of forces outside were full of curiosity about this and came to inquire one after another.

Many former stewards took the opportunity to make information business.

Whether it was those who sold information for profit, or lurking personnel sent by the Ning family patriarch and others, or those who had different intentions, they were all jumping around in secret, working with all their might.

They absolutely did not know that there were six Golden Core cultivators doing things around Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Their various actions were all seen clearly by the six Golden Cores.

These people, with the highest cultivation base only at the Foundation Establishment stage, could not detect the means of the Golden Core ancestors at all.

"That Ning Xiangguo is the most problematic!" Zhu Xuanji said when communicating with the three Golden Core families.

Ning Xiangguo was a secret agent of the City Lord's Mansion.

In his early years, he was personally turned by Seeing Fei Si and was one of the most capable people for Seeing Fei Si to test the Ning family's intelligence.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo launched an attack on Ning Xiaoren, he once took the initiative to ask Seeing Fei Si for help. Seeing Fei Si secretly issued an order, letting Ning Xiangguo personally come forward to participate in the action and lurk around Unlike Ning Zhuo.

In the process of the Ning family's young patriarch falling from power, Ning Xiangguo indeed exerted quite a bit of effort.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo established the black market, Ning Xiangguo was also in it, holding a quite important position, and all tasks were done quite excellently.

However, his identity had long been discovered by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's supernatural power, Human Life Hanging Thread, to a certain extent, could detect the degree of loyalty of his subordinates to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not act, just arranged heavier tasks for Ning Xiangguo, giving full play to his light and heat.

This arrangement of Unlike Ning Zhuo, until now, unexpectedly played a quite clever role!

Zhu Xuanji and others couldn't help but have a misunderstanding—"Is the City Lord's Mansion sending Ning Xiangguo to spy on intelligence to prepare for the next assassination?"

After the three Golden Core ancestors learned this news about Ning Xiangguo, they inevitably speculated like this.

Ning Xiangguo's spying made the six Golden Cores even more nervous.

They were fully vigilant until the afternoon of that day, there was no sign of assassination, and everything was so peaceful.

Not only did the Golden Core ancestors not wait for the assassination, but they waited for a rumor.

This rumor spread throughout the city at an incredible speed.

The content of the rumor was very simple, that is, the Ning family's genius cultivator—Unlike Ning Zhuo, secretly mastered a Demonic Dao True Scripture.

This Demonic Dao True Scripture had a great background, originating from the Lava Xian Gong, and was personally created by the Three Sects' Masters.

Relying on this demonic cultivation base, Unlike Ning Zhuo repeatedly achieved good results in exploring the Lava Xian Gong.

And Lord Zhu Xuanji discovered this clue, so he went to find Unlike Ning Zhuo with great fanfare yesterday to ask about the whereabouts of the True Scripture.

"How could there be such a rumor?"

"Who exactly spread it?"

"Being able to spread throughout the city so quickly, the person behind the rumor is not simple."

The Golden Core ancestors all felt something was wrong and smelled the scent of conspiracy.

None of them suspected Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Because since yesterday, whether Unlike Ning Zhuo was eating, drinking, or defecating, he was under their surveillance.

The only letter sent out was the reply to Seeing Fei Si.

Moreover, the content of this rumor was obviously quite unfavorable to Unlike Ning Zhuo, which would induce others to covet Unlike Ning Zhuo.

As the victim in the rumor, how could he take the initiative to spread such a rumor?

The rumor reached the ears of others.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo has the Demonic Dao True Scripture!" Ning Xiaohui got this rumor, widened her eyes, her expression showing joy and expectation.

"If it's true, that would be great; a dignified Ning family member, a righteous cultivator, actually secretly practicing demonic arts."

Meng Chong was very interested in this rumor: "Using the Five Elements Qi Law Technique, without rushing, it's not satisfying!"

"Demonic arts are suitable for me, strengthening the body, charging at the forefront. This is too exciting!"

Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu communicated, and both believed that part of the rumor's content was fake at a glance. But there were also some parts that revealed a real scent.

This made them feel embarrassed, not knowing what to believe.

Many people believed that Unlike Ning Zhuo really mastered a Demonic Dao True Scripture! A part of them even fabricated false evidence to prove it for Unlike Ning Zhuo in a serious manner.

Yang Chanyu stood somewhere, overlooking the large patches of roofs in front of her.

Sun Lingtong's small body was hidden in the shadow behind her.

Yang Chanyu slowly opened her eyes; just now she had been casting spells, eavesdropping on the sounds around her.

"Our rumor release was very successful!"

"But I'm a little curious."

"How exactly did that young genius of the Ning family, Unlike Ning Zhuo, provoke you, that you want to frame him like this."

Sun Lingtong was prepared, he smiled *hehe*: "I have been paying attention to this Unlike Ning Zhuo for a long time; he will be a very useful chess piece."

Regarding Yang Chanyu, Sun Lingtong didn't want to tell her his real relationship with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

After all, he asked Yang Chanyu to help this time, and his own strength was difficult to restrain her.

Even if there was a marriage contract between him and her, the marriage only bound the two of them and didn't help Unlike Ning Zhuo much.

In case Yang Chanyu knew that Sun Lingtong acted like this just for Unlike Ning Zhuo, she would immediately confirm that this was Sun Lingtong's greatest weakness.

Even if she didn't act to grasp it now, she would have this dark thought in the future.

Sun Lingtong changed the subject: "This level of rumor is not enough."

"Next, we can continue to spread the second layer of rumors." ===== CHAPTER 238 =====
