Chapter 238: Worthy of Seeing Fei Si

~10 min read 1,984 words

The second layer of rumors is here!

It perfectly connected with the previous wave of rumors, becoming clamorous.

In the second layer of rumors, many new details were revealed—how the divine catcher Zhu Xuanji obtained clues about the Demonic Dao True Scripture.

The rumor mentioned that Zhu Xuanji obtained a Mechanical Demonic General. This mechanism possessed Golden Core-level combat power and was a precious puppet left outside from the Lava Immortal Palace.

The original Demonic Dao True Scripture was recorded inside the Mechanical Demonic General. After Zhu Xuanji obtained the Mechanical Demonic General, he found that there was no True Scripture.

He possessed extremely strong tracking ability, so he found clues from the Mechanical Demonic General and tracked all the way, finding Yuan Dasheng of the Monkey Head Gang.

He suspected that Yuan Dasheng had come into contact with the Mechanical Demonic General in his early years, thereby stealing the Demonic Dao True Scripture.

And Yuan Dasheng had long since died, and his corpse was obtained by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

This meant that the Demonic Dao True Scripture on Yuan Dasheng had already been obtained by Unlike Ning Zhuo!

The power of the second layer of rumors was much greater than the previous layer.

On one hand, it was because it involved Zhu Xuanji. Zhu Xuanji was a Golden Core, a member of the royal family, and a divine catcher of the Divine Catcher Division, with a noble status and huge prestige. Such a big figure being involved naturally made people have enthusiasm for discussion.

On the other hand, this rumor was very real. Many details were detailed enough to be convincing.

Once the rumor came out, some cultivators wanted to visit Zhu Xuanji to confirm the authenticity of this rumor.

Zhu Xuanji did not come forward to clarify, but he did not deny it either.

This subtle attitude made many people think carefully and realize something.

Zhu Xuanji and the three families' Golden Core cultivators communicated secretly.

They were also guessing and discussing who exactly spread the rumor.

Ning Jiufan clenched his fists, his tone angry: "Who else could it be? If it's not someone among us, it must be the City Lord's Mansion!"

"We took back the Mechanical Demonic General from the Demonic Ape Royal Court; this action was notified to Meng Kui at the time. Meng Kui is a Nascent Soul, and it is very likely that he knows all the events that happened to us in the Royal Court."

Zheng Shuanggou asked suspiciously: "I don't quite understand. Why announce the matter about the Demonic Dao True Scripture like this? If I were the City Lord's Mansion, I would definitely secretly spy on intelligence, confirm it, and then send capable assassins to root out Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"Announcing these things, what is it for?"

Zhou Nongying smiled slightly: "Clearly, they want to clear their suspicion!"

"Because next, once Unlike Ning Zhuo suffers an assassination, then it is very likely that demonic people were bewitched by the rumor and wanted to seize the Demonic Dao True Scripture from Unlike Ning Zhuo, thus taking risks."

"The City Lord's Mansion stirred up the water, and then took the opportunity to secretly send a powerful assassin to take Unlike Ning Zhuo's life."

"Even if the assassin is caught by us and points to the City Lord's Mansion side in the future, the City Lord's Mansion can shirk, saying it has nothing to do with them, it was completely the assassin's personal action, and after being caught, they deliberately framed them."

"This is actually an old routine of many big forces." Zhou Nongying added at the end.

The Golden Core ancestors fell into silence.

They all felt an invisible pressure.

"It really is Seeing Fei Si..." someone sighed, speaking the voice of everyone.

In their view: Seeing Fei Si clearly realized that there might be a trap on Unlike Ning Zhuo's side.

Then what was his handling method?

It was that regardless of whether there was a trap, he did this first. He controlled the public opinion first, and before he started assassinating Unlike Ning Zhuo, he had already started to clear the suspicion for the City Lord's Mansion!

Tricky.

Difficult to deal with.

This was the greatest feeling Zhu Xuanji got from the second layer of rumors and from Seeing Fei Si.

"Besides clearing suspicion, he has another intention." Zhu Xuanji's gaze was deep.

He observed the other Golden Core ancestors without a trace.

Observe their expressions carefully!

Clearly, among all the Golden Core cultivators, the Ning family ancestor Ning Jiufan had the worst complexion.

He had quite a huge psychological pressure.

Zhu Xuanji understood in his heart what Ning Jiufan was worried about.

"If there is a traitor among us, Ning Jiufan's possibility is the lowest."

"Not only because he has a handle, endangering his own prestige, but Unlike Ning Zhuo is the Ning family's genius cultivator."

What Zhu Xuanji was concerned about was whether this rumor came from the City Lord's Mansion.

Other Golden Cores seemed to default to this point, but Zhu Xuanji, as a divine catcher, never made a direct judgment on things without evidence.

"If this rumor was not spread by the City Lord's Mansion, then who would it be?"

"Who knew I obtained the Mechanical Demonic General?"

From Zhu Xuanji's perspective, there were only two groups of people. One group was the City Lord's Mansion, and the other was the alliance of him and the three families.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Xuanji said to others: "Two rumors were spread one after another; there is clearly a mastermind behind the scenes."

"The current situation has undoubtedly become very severe."

"We must increase the protection of Unlike Ning Zhuo. After all, Unlike Ning Zhuo is the Ning family's genius cultivator. Just as I said to Daoist Ning Jiufan before, I will go all out to protect his safety."

"So, next, we will group in twos and take turns guarding Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"All shifts are arranged by me."

Zhu Xuanji's words made some Golden Core cultivators think.

Although Zhu Xuanji and the three Golden Cores signed a contract. But this kind of constraint was not perfect.

Just like the lock and the theft means of unlocking, the two are always alternating and rising.

The contract and the means of breaking the oath are also like this.

Zhu Xuanji did not directly state the hidden worry of the traitor; he divided the six Golden Cores, including himself, into three teams.

Each team had two people.

The two Golden Core cultivators of the Zhou family and Zheng family were in the same team.

To guard against the hidden danger of the traitor.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's residence.

"What?!"

"There is actually such a rumor?!!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted, unable to sit still, and stood up directly.

His face was pale, forcing himself to be calm, but he still couldn't hide his panic.

The two Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators who reported to him looked at each other, feeling that from Unlike Ning Zhuo's performance, the rumor was probably true.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes flickered, his hand supporting the desk, stunned for a long time, before he reacted, waving away the two Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators: "You pay close attention to the rumors; if there is any change, report to me immediately."

The two Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators retreated, and Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

His forehead was full of cold sweat.

He swallowed his saliva, still feeling dry-mouthed, so he picked up the teapot on the table, aimed at the spout, and drank a big mouthful of cold tea.

He sat down again, opened the drawer, took out a jade slip, and began to write with divine sense.

This was a distress letter, written to Ning Jiufan.

After writing, Unlike Ning Zhuo thought about it and took out another jade slip.

It was still a distress letter, this time written to Zhu Xuanji.

The two distress letters were sent out and soon fell into the hands of Ning Jiufan and Zhu Xuanji.

The content of the letters was roughly the same, all telling of Unlike Ning Zhuo's innocence, grievance, as well as panic and anxiety.

The gist was as follows:

"I really didn't get any Demonic Path True Scripture."

"I was framed, I am innocent."

"I am really too unlucky to have run into such a thing. Someone will definitely come to harm me, wanting to covet the Demonic Path True Scripture."

"They will definitely be disappointed; even if they really kill me, they won't get the True Scripture!"

"But I don't want to die; I am still young, I am still small, I am only sixteen years old."

"So, Lord Ning Jiufan (Zhu Xuanji), I implore you to save my little life. As long as you come forward to clarify, you can resolve my dangerous situation!"

After reading, Zhu Xuanji put the jade slip into his pocket with an expressionless face.

Ning Jiufan was not indifferent; he secretly found Zhu Xuanji, first pulled some nonsense, and then entered the main topic: "Lord Zhu, how much do you think Meng Kui knows about our actions in the Demonic Ape Royal Court?"

Zhu Xuanji: "Meng Kui is at the Nascent Soul level, and his cultivation and combat power far exceed ours."

"I specifically took care of him before the action, just so that he could become a retreat for us."

"With his means, he must have been aware of all the events that happened to us in Fire Persimmon Mountain."

"Just..."

"To what extent he is aware, I am not very clear."

Zhu Xuanji said a lot of nonsense.

He also had difficulties.

He couldn't tell Ning Jiufan directly that Meng Kui knew everything about what happened to him, right?

Wouldn't that increase Ning Jiufan's psychological pressure even more?

Ning Jiufan left sighing.

Zhu Xuanji couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

The confrontation of the righteous path is naturally different from the demonic path, and it can be said to have a unique style.

"Around the rumors, I have already confronted the City Lord's Mansion once."

"Seeing Fei Si is indeed powerful."

"Two rumors made our side unstable."

At this time, a cultivator walked straight toward the gate of Unlike Ning Zhuo's residence.

His action immediately attracted attention.

"Stop."

"Who is the visitor?"

The Ning family Foundation Establishment guards immediately intercepted halfway.

The gazes of Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan also secretly locked onto this person.

The visitor arched his hands, his attitude polite: "I am Su Mo, two Foundation Establishment seniors, excuse me."

"I am just a bottom-level cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage, making a living with a trick of making talismans."

"Recently, I just arrived at Fire Persimmon Immortal City and heard that the Ning family is a master of making talismans. And Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo is a leading figure of the Ning family among the Qi Condensation stage, a young genius."

"So, I want to visit and want to discuss talisman techniques with Unlike Ning Zhuo."

The Foundation Establishment guards looked at each other, their faces full of disgust.

"Hmph, not coming early or late, but coming at this time, you are really intentional."

"Can't you tell the truth? Aren't you running over for the rumor of the Demonic Dao True Scripture?"

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Two, it's late at night now, I am 'late'."

"I don't know what rumors."

"I only know that I am here to challenge Unlike Ning Zhuo. If Unlike Ning Zhuo doesn't respond, it would be against the family name of the talisman master Ning family."

The two Foundation Establishment guards were even more disgusted.

But this matter could not be easily dismissed and needed to be handled properly.

"Fine, fine, fine. You wait first, let me go in and report!" ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
