Chapter 243: Many Black Shadow Demonic Cultivators

The fierce battle between the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator and Yang Chanyu triggered an explosion sound like thunder, waking up the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City. 【243-

Unexpectedly to everyone, this battle suddenly unfolded, drawing the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City into the battlefield.

Tonight is destined to be a night of intense upheaval.

The incident happened suddenly, and Fei Si was still at his desk handling official business.

After hearing the news, he immediately grabbed the seal on his desk, infused it with magic power, activated a portion of the city-protecting grand formation's power, and observed the situation of the battle.

He even re-watched the previous battle scenes.

Fei Si narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering. From Yang Chanyu's appearance to her subsequent behavior, he smelled the thick scent of a conspiracy.

His reaction was fast; he immediately ordered the activation of the entire City Lord's Mansion's defensive formation and set its power to the maximum.

Afterward, he immediately sent someone to report this emergency battle situation to Meng Kui.

Finally, he issued orders to contact the City Guard, gather the people of the City Lord's Mansion, and tell them not to attack lightly.

With the situation unclear, he needed to see the situation clearly before taking action.

Yang Chanyu suddenly appeared near the City Lord's Mansion, carrying the Demonic Scripture.

This Demonic Scripture is clearly the key treasure that the whole city has been fiercely discussing in recent days.

Yang Chanyu was chased and attacked by the Shadow Demon Cultivator, who actively leaked that Yang Chanyu had the Demonic Scripture. It gave the impression that Yang Chanyu had just stolen the scripture from the City Lord's Mansion and was intercepted by the Shadow Demon Cultivator halfway.

"This is a very obvious frame-up!" Fei Si remained calm.

He secretly warned himself: "The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light; the enemy has designed various schemes and tricks, it is impossible they didn't calculate our reaction."

"Therefore, we cannot easily enter the fray, lest we fall into their trap."

Fei Si had just finalized his tactics when, the next moment, he heard a roar he was extremely familiar with.

"Shadow Demon Cultivator, you have finally appeared. This time, let's see where you can run!"

A short, middle-aged man with one eye missing and bulging muscles, looking like a stone pier, shot into the sky and charged fiercely toward the Shadow Demon Cultivator.

The person who arrived was none other than Meng Kui's right-hand man—Chi Dun.

Fei Si's vision went black, and he gritted his teeth in anger: "This reckless brute!"

Chi Dun came with great momentum.

He was not interested in the Demonic Scripture and focused entirely on attacking the Shadow Demon Cultivator.

The Shadow Demon Cultivator was none other than Sun Lingtong in disguise.

Seeing Chi Dun, a Jin Dan cultivator, chasing him crazily as if he wanted to swallow him alive, even Sun Lingtong felt a huge psychological pressure.

"What's going on?"

On the other side, at Ning Zhuo's residence.

Zheng Shuangou and Zhou Nongying were hiding their figures, communicating via voice transmission.

He opened his mouth and said: "Currently, we can't determine Yang Chanyu's purpose, she might covet the Demonic Path True Scripture herself, or she might be hired by the City Lord's Mansion."

Saying this, Zhu Xuanji had a self-blaming expression, quite regretful: "If only I could have taken down Yang Chanyu."

"Now we still have no evidence."

Zhu Xuanji took action personally and still let Yang Chanyu escape.

Such a result made the five Jin Dan cultivators feel very disappointed and worried.

Zhu Xuanji looked at their expressions, sighed, and continued to explain: "That Yang Chanyu mastered the geographical advantage, followed the small paths between the Immortal City array, drilled in, and successfully escaped."

Ning Jiufan: "This can't blame Lord Zhu, if it were anyone else, in this situation, it would be very difficult to catch Yang Chanyu."

Zhou Nongying snorted: "The situation is actually very clear, it must be the City Lord's Mansion that hired Yang Chanyu to probe here! And to ensure the safety of themselves and Yang Chanyu, they provided a certain small path of the array."

Zhu Xuanji shook his head: "It can't be confirmed yet, because we have no evidence."

Zheng Danlian sighed: "To tell the truth, this is still the inaction of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"According to common sense, the protective array in the Immortal City should be changed every once in a while, so that it is safe."

"But the last few City Lords didn't do this. I guess they felt it was too troublesome and thankless."

Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan's lips moved, thought about it but didn't say.

Regarding this matter, he still knew some inside information.

This was deliberately left alone by the South Bean Royal Family.

After all, the Fire Persimmon Immortal City is located in the hinterland of the South Bean Kingdom and is relatively safe. Changing the protective array is indeed labor-intensive and money-wasting.

As a new city, the Fire Persimmon Immortal City has its own specialties and can provide a large amount of tax revenue to the royal family every year.

If the protective array is changed, the royal family's income will drop sharply!

Zhou Nongying suddenly said: "The current situation has evolved to this step, which is very unfavorable to us. Our situation is too passive."

"Now our manpower is all tied up by Ning Zhuo."

"Even if an assassin comes to assassinate, as long as we can't catch him, we can't judge whether it is the City Lord's Mansion's hand, or the assassin's personal greed."

"Fei Si is quite sinister! I think he likely has already seen through our current intention and is unfolding a delaying tactic."

"Every once in a while, as long as he sends or directly hires Yang Chanyu to probe us once, he will firmly restrain us. Most of our energy must be concentrated on protecting Ning Zhuo."

"In this way, we will be more passive."

"So I am thinking, instead of always being beaten passively, why don't we take the initiative now."

Zheng Shuangou asked curiously: "Then how do we take the initiative?"

Zhou Nongying smiled slightly: "This matter is actually very simple. Far less difficult than you imagine."

"Aren't there rumors being spread one after another, I think a large part of this is the City Lord's Mansion's hand."

"Now we also release rumors, directly pulling the City Lord's Mansion into the field, wouldn't that be fine?"

Thus.

The third wave of rumors appeared.

The rumor was well-founded, detailing the process of Ning Zhuo, mechanical fire monkey, Yuan Dasheng, Fire Persimmon Festival, etc.

Among them, it highlighted that Ning Zhuo was sixteen years old, asked Chen Cha for advice, but was robbed of the reputation of research and development by the City Lord's Mansion. He was also deceived into vigorously producing mechanical fire monkeys for the market. Finally, at the Fire Persimmon Festival, he was sent by Fei Si, holding the latter's token, forcing Yuan Er to see death without saving, letting Yuan Dasheng die.

Once people heard the rumor, they immediately had three thoughts.

First, Ning Zhuo suffered too much from being young and was calculated. People sighed.

Second, the City Lord's Mansion likely obtained the Demonic Path True Scripture long ago, Fei Si used Ning Zhuo and killed Yuan Dasheng to silence him.

Third, the Demonic Path True Scripture is likely in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is the black market behind the scenes and the biggest winner!

For a time, everyone in the city started discussing: Where exactly is this Demonic Path True Scripture? In the hands of the City Lord's Mansion, or on Ning Zhuo?

And Yang Chanyu's probing, before leaving, said a sentence "So that's how it is", which was also widely spread.

City Lord's Mansion.

Fei Si sent him all the way, sending Shu Zhongjun out of the mansion gate.

He returned to the desk alone, his face very gloomy.

Shu Zhongjun was a Jin Dan disciple of the All Books Building, currently coming to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, while hosting the station of the All Books Building here, while actively exploring the Lava Immortal Palace, quickly accumulating a lot of merit.

Shu Zhongjun came to find Fei Si this time to propose a transaction request.

If the City Lord's Mansion possessed the Demonic Path True Scripture, then the All Books Building could purchase it at a high price.

Where would Fei Si know any Demonic Path True Scripture, and directly told Shu Zhongjun that this deal could not be done.

Finally, Fei Si sent Shu Zhongjun out of the mansion.

"Even Shu Zhongjun believes that this third wave of rumors is actually aimed at me, aimed at the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Who wants to deal with me?!"

Fei Si felt that the enemy was showing their daggers.

The previous two waves of rumors made him feel something was wrong, and he had been paying secret attention every day.

Now the third wave of rumors directly hinted that the City Lord's Mansion secretly mastered the Demonic Dao True Scripture!

Fei Si felt that the matter was significant and immediately sent people to investigate the matter with all their might.

In the process of his investigation, it was another night.

No moon.

Stars were dotted.

*Boom!

A thunderous loud noise alarmed countless city people sleeping in the middle of the night.

People came out of their houses to check one after another.

Some people saw Yang Chanyu fighting with a Jin Dan cultivator, fighting while retreating.

"Yang Chanyu?!"

"Wait, her opponent is... the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator!!"

In an instant, the cultivators who saw this scene widened their eyes.

After many days, the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator finally appeared again.

The next moment, the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator shouted: "Demon girl, leave the true scripture!"

The cultivators were shocked in body and mind.

"True scripture?"

"What true scripture!?"

"Yang Chanyu escaped from the City Lord's Mansion, could it be that she stole the City Lord's Mansion's Demonic Path True Scripture?!"

She flew away with the Demonic Scripture, about to follow the gaps in Fire Persimmon Immortal City's grand formation to slip into a secret passage and then escape the entire battlefield.

A golden light suddenly shone down!

Yang Chanyu was caught by the golden light, and her speed dropped sharply.

Zhu Xuanji's figure appeared in the golden light, descending from the sky.

Yang Chanyu used her old trick again: "You want the Demonic Scripture? I'll give it to you!"

This time, she threw the Demonic Scripture directly to the Shadow Demon Cultivator—the Jin Dan true disciple of the Taiqing Palace.

But Zhu Xuanji ignored the Demonic Scripture entirely and still lunged straight at Yang Chanyu.

Yang Chanyu didn't have time to escape into the secret passage and could only temporarily shift, attacking Zhu Xuanji with spells while fleeing.

The Shadow Demon Cultivator—the Taiqing Palace true disciple—did not expect "good fortune" to suddenly find him!

He took a small step back and grasped the Demonic Scripture in his own hand.

The moment he touched the Demonic Scripture, he felt he had grasped many profound meanings of the cultivation technique.

"Demonic Blood-Tendon Technique!" The Taiqing Palace true disciple widened his eyes, his face showing surprise.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that this was a genuine Demonic Scripture!
