Chapter 241: The Third Layer of Rumors

Unlike Ning Zhuo left the martial arts stage and returned to his residence.

From the outside, it could be seen that his previous nervous emotion had been swept away, replaced by walking with wind, head held high, chest out, full of spirit, no longer the feeling of suppression before.

He returned to the underground training room, took the mechanical classics to check, and soon focused his attention, concentrating on one thing.

He came to the workbench, picked up the various mechanical parts that had been pushed to the ground, placed them on the desktop, and constantly dismantled and replaced them, conducting the research and development of mechanical creations.

He did this until lunchtime.

He pushed the door out, came to the dining room, and ate several bowls of rice in a row.

These meals were quite luxurious, all spiritual food!

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo was now at the peak of the ninth layer, he still consumed a large amount of spiritual food every day as a disguise.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo had a full meal, he returned to the underground training room again.

This time, he urged the Floating Cloud Scarf, letting his whole body be covered with layers of floating clouds, pretending to practice the Five Elements Qi Law Technique.

The Cloud Hidden Bud under his tongue, under the infusion of Unlike Ning Zhuo's magic power, helped him disguise himself.

Falling into the perception of Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan, Unlike Ning Zhuo was just practicing the fourth layer of the Five Elements Qi Law Technique.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo finished breathing, he rested a little, closed his eyes in the floating clouds again, and went directly into the Xian Gong with his soul.

"Here!"

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit had been silently paying attention to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo enter the Xian Gong again, it also silently cheered for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit could never have imagined: there would be such a day that it would support Unlike Ning Zhuo behind its back, wishing that Unlike Ning Zhuo could clear the Daoist path in one go.

"Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit?" Unlike Ning Zhuo tested, calling out everywhere.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit retracted its head, although it had already heard it, it didn't want to make any response.

It was trying its best to avoid communicating with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

After the last communication, it reflected on itself, saying too much, really too much!

Unlike Ning Zhuo explored the Daoist path and failed, learning a lesson. This time, he chose spiritual stones as rewards from the beginning.

He had already claimed the rewards on the leaderboard once before, and there were four days left until the next claim.

But relying on the spiritual stones from clearing rewards, after accumulating them, the quantity was not small.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo arrived at the final level of the Daoist path again, the spiritual power reserve he held was at least thirty percent more than before.

He failed again.

"My spell attainment still needs to be improved... but this kind of thing requires a lot of practice and can't be rushed."

"Change to spiritual stones; if there are more spiritual stones, I can still imitate the method of clearing the Demonic path and win by quantity!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo discovered the method of clearing the level.

Either hone spellcasting techniques, or summarize experience, have a comprehensive and detailed strategy, calculate every step, and finally accumulate the advantage of quantity.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo was clearing the level, Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan kept paying attention to him.

"This Floating Cloud Scarf is still a bit annoying." Ning Jiufan said.

Most of his detection spells could not perfectly avoid the Floating Cloud Scarf, always causing the violent consumption of the floating clouds.

"This should be the legacy left by Unlike Ning Zhuo's mother. The things of Flying Cloud Kingdom are indeed far from our South Bean Kingdom in usage."

Layers of floating clouds covered Unlike Ning Zhuo, causing Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan to no longer observe Unlike Ning Zhuo so wantonly.

Zhu Xuanji continued: "It seems that Unlike Ning Zhuo has completely calmed down. His temperament has undergone a transformation, which is very good."

"He has withstood this test, which is a good seedling for cultivation."

"Brother Ning, I want to congratulate you."

Ning Jiufan smiled slightly, also having a joy from the heart.

He witnessed Unlike Ning Zhuo's performance in the past day or two.

The latter indeed had a great improvement in temperament.

Coupled with Unlike Ning Zhuo's own talent, developing like this, he must be a pillar of the Ning family!

"Who?" Suddenly, Zhu Xuanji shouted.

His eyes shone brightly, exploding with golden light. In an instant, his gaze was so sharp that Ning Jiufan hurriedly shifted his gaze to avoid looking directly.

Zhu Xuanji disappeared from the spot instantly, leaving only a faint golden shadow in Ning Jiufan's field of vision.

*Boom! *

The next moment, Ning Jiufan heard a violent explosion.

He hurriedly turned his head and saw that Zhu Xuanji and the mysterious strong enemy had already fought fiercely.

Ning Jiufan hurriedly took action and ran over.

Zhu Xuanji wiped his hand, and a golden light wall was born out of thin air, wrapping around Unlike Ning Zhuo, giving people a feeling of being unbreakable.

And the mysterious enemy was wrapped in emerald green spell brilliance. The person was flying back rapidly.

"Where are you going!" Zhu Xuanji pursued closely.

The green spell light was shattered by him, revealing the appearance of the enemy within.

She had a graceful figure, and her face was like a peach blossom.

"Empty Gate, Yang Chanyu!" In an instant, the identity of the mysterious enemy immediately surfaced in Ning Jiufan's mind.

While retreating rapidly, Yang Chanyu had a smile on her lips. Her eyes were blooming with emerald light, staring intently at Unlike Ning Zhuo, who was still in the process of entering the Xian Gong with his soul.

Clearly, this was a detection spell.

The emerald light retracted completely, and Yang Chanyu smiled lightly: "So that's how it is."

After saying this, her figure turned, her speed surged, and leaving only a pink afterimage in her original spot, she dove into the shadows of the street.

"I'll pursue! You stay here." After Zhu Xuanji dropped this sentence, he hurried off in pursuit.

Ning Jiufan hid his figure and went directly to Unlike Ning Zhuo's side. He pushed his magic power to the limit, but kept his aura contained without a single leak, standing by in battle readiness.

Hearing the commotion, the Foundation Establishment guards also arrived one after another. They were astonished by the existence of the golden light wall, and none of them discovered Ning Jiufan, who was invisible right beside them.

Zhu Xuanji and Yang Chanyu chased and fled, constantly exchanging blows in the process, creating one explosion after another.

The sound of explosions and the collapsing of houses rang through the night sky like thunder, continuous and unending, shocking the entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul was still in the Lava Xian Gong, and his physical body was surrounded by the golden light wall. Outside the light circle, the Foundation Establishment guards were on heavy guard, protecting him strictly.

The floating clouds from before, after being disturbed, returned to their positions, covering Unlike Ning Zhuo tightly once again.

However, the performance just now was enough to show—this kind of defense was extremely fragile in front of a Jin Dan-level opponent, equivalent to a mere decoration.

In a certain restaurant.

The sound of explosions kept coming. The diners in the restaurant, hearing the commotion, stood up from their seats one after another and came to the windows to watch the excitement.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Lingtong, disguised as a middle-aged man, flashed his figure, dove under the table, and disappeared.

The person secretly monitoring him only had their view blocked for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, they discovered that the target had completely vanished.

"Where is he?"

Sensing something was wrong, several monitors immediately ran to the scene, circling the table where Sun Lingtong had just been, looking around and searching eagerly.

"Search quickly!"

"He can't have run far."

"He must be nearby!"

These investigators all had extremely ugly expressions. Some directly activated detection spells, scanning all the diners on this floor.

"Hmm?!"

"Who is so ignorant?"

"To actually use a spell to test me!"

Some diners immediately turned hostile.

This kind of detection spell was quite powerful, and for the person being detected, it was a strong offense.

But the next moment, the cultivators casting the spells actively leaked their auras, each wearing a fierce expression.

There were six of them in total, and each had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Their cultivation auras were released together, immediately suppressing the entire room.

The diners who had just wanted to regain their footing turned pale, covered in cold sweat, and became submissive, no longer making a sound.

Such a posture made them immediately understand: they had just offended criminals with their words, likely a force they could not afford to provoke.

The investigators searched frantically. Soon, the search range expanded to the entire restaurant, but they still did not find Sun Lingtong.

They hurried out of the restaurant and spread out to the surroundings.

Along the way, the old man played by Sun Lingtong brushed shoulders with the investigators.

The investigators didn't care, knocking Sun Lingtong to the ground and walking with hurried steps, not even stopping for a moment, running forward at full speed.

Sun Lingtong immediately made "um-um" and "ya-ya" sounds, perfectly acting as an ordinary old man knocked to the ground by unscrupulous passersby, looking helpless and unable to get up.

Sun Lingtong came from the Empty Gate; he could disguise himself as a person from any walk of life with ease!

The subsequent investigators only glanced at him and lifted their feet to step over him.

Each of the investigators held a magic tool in their hands.

Their magic power was constantly infused into them, making the magic tools emit strong fluctuations as they searched the surroundings with all their might.

Sun Lingtong was right within the range, even in the center area, but he did not move a muscle.

As a disciple of the Empty Gate, he had the self-confidence to resist the vast majority of detection magic tools!

It was just that there was a trace of gloom in his eyes at this moment.

When Sun Lingtong released the second layer of rumors, he discovered that a large number of people were attacking everywhere, searching with all their might for the source of the rumors.

Sun Lingtong performed a detection and immediately discovered: these investigators mainly came from the four major forces of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

But it didn't stop there. For example, the Grand Clarity Palace had also sent disciples to participate in this investigation.

"Next, it's the critical moment," Sun Lingtong thought to himself.

Now, all the major forces in the city were taking action, frantically searching for the mastermind behind the rumors. This made it increasingly difficult for Sun Lingtong to spread rumors, and his room for operation had shrunk by more than a hundred times compared to before!

If Sun Lingtong were to continue like this, the risk would skyrocket by more than ten times.

But for now, he still held the third wave of rumors in his hand.

At this very moment, Sun Lingtong, disguised as an old man, lay helplessly on the street.

He opened his eyes and looked at the sky, while in his mind, he recalled the conspiracy he had plotted with Unlike Ning Zhuo in the Lava Xian Gong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo said to him in a grave tone: "Boss Sun, according to my plan, the third wave of rumors is the most critical one."
