Chapter 277: Unable to Speak

~10 min read 1,952 words

Molten Lava Immortal Palace, Main Hall.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit swept away its usual miniature size and became huge again!

It looked up and shouted, its dragon horns almost hitting the ceiling of the hall.

It was angry, it exploded!

"No, can't let Ning Xiaohui leave alive!"

"Absolutely not!!"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had plotted and prepared for so many years, paying how many painful prices, just to weaken the Molten Lava Immortal Palace step by step.

It wanted to regain its freedom!

After working so hard for so long, it was finally at the last moment.

How could it allow its great plan to be destroyed by Ning Xiaohui!

"That stinky kid Ning Zhuo can't be relied on; he was forced by Zhu Xuanji to go on stage and act!"

"Can only rely on myself!!"

"I—Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, would rather die than be bound again."

"I want freedom, freedom!"

It roared to the sky, unwilling to fail, determined to fight to the death.

However, it was constrained by the Three Sects Ascendants, even though the latter had long since fallen. Its authority was not enough to kill Ning Xiaohui directly.

Ning Zhuo couldn't be relied on either!

Driven to a dead end, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit could only repeat its old trick, borrowing the power of the Red Flame beasts.

Just like in the past, when it deliberately left behind the mechanical demon general.

Only this time, its move was even bigger!

Boom!

In the loud noise, the Five Elements Cannon Pavilion fired, killing few, but successfully provoking the anger of the beast tide.

The beasts began a full-scale attack, a crazy attack.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit coordinated the defensive forces, deliberately reducing the magic power support for the light shield.

The golden light sphere immediately weakened to sixty percent.

Crack crack crack...

The beasts' attacks caused cracks to appear rapidly on the surface of the spherical light shield.

And this time, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, driven to a dead end, went crazy, no longer transporting magic power to the light shield as before, but instead transporting important magic power to other irrelevant mechanical buildings.

Bang.

With a muffled sound, the spherical light shield broke open a large hole.

The Red Flame beasts roared excitedly, squeezing into the hole like a tide, pouring into the Molten Lava Immortal Palace like a waterfall falling from the sky!

And directly below the Red Flame beasts was the History Pavilion.

In the main hall.

Hundreds of fire whips condensed into shape, whipping the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit in turns!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit swept away its usual posture of fleeing, held its head high, dragon roars continuous, extremely heroic.

"Having played the turtle for so long, who in the world knows that I was a dragon that walked the fire before I died?!"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's eyes shone like the scorching sun, enduring the whipping of the fire whips while continuing to control.

A large number of mechanical creations flew into the air, colliding and fighting with the Red Flame beasts.

Under the command of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, the mechanical creations intentionally drove the beasts toward the History Pavilion.

"What sound?!" Ning Xiaohui felt something was wrong when she heard the explosion.

The next moment, she realized something, and her whole face turned pale.

And when she opened the door of the History Pavilion and saw that the surging Red Flame beasts had surrounded this area from all sides, and even more beasts were constantly falling from the sky, she was stunned.

Intense fear enveloped her whole body.

At this moment, she was scared stiff in place!

A figure suddenly appeared nearby, casting a spell, aiming at Ning Xiaohui's head.

It was Yang Chanyu!

"Don't even think about it!" At the critical moment, Zhu Zhen appeared, not only blocking Yang Chanyu's attack but also launching a counterattack.

Yang Chanyu was surprised.

She hadn't expected that someone was hiding nearby.

Zhu Zhen was a member of the Southern Bean royal family, a powerful Jin Dan cultivator specially sent abroad to constantly collect intelligence on other countries.

Concealing one's presence was exactly one of the areas he was most skilled in!

Yang Chanyu had just blocked Zhu Zhen's counterattack when several Jin Dan figures surrounded her.

It was the Jin Dan ancestors of the Zhou, Zheng, and Ning families!

"The fish has taken the bait, hahaha!"

"It's you again, Yang Chanyu!"

"Voidless Gate... before the Jin Dan melee, it was you who triggered it, right?"

The three families' Jin Dan cultivators gritted their teeth, unleashed their magic treasures, and attacked together.

Yang Chanyu's heart sank, and she could only retreat constantly.

But her attempt to hide her figure failed.

Zhu Zhen chased after her relentlessly: "Yang Chanyu, you have been hit by my spell; you will be marked for an hour. Surrender, you can't escape!"

Ning Xiaohui's pupils shrank, trembling with fear.

Only then did she realize that she had just walked on the edge of death. If Zhu Zhen hadn't stopped it, she would have already died at Yang Chanyu's hands.

Ning Xiaohui looked at the Jin Dan cultivators fighting in the air and killing crazily among the Red Flame beasts, and she completely recognized her true situation.

"I am the only one who has entered the History Pavilion!"

"I hold all the evidence of the mastermind!!"

"It's the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit that wants to kill me!!!"

"Escape, I must escape quickly."

Ning Xiaohui had checked the information in the History Pavilion and was the person who knew the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit best on the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain.

A large number of mechanical creations rushed to the vicinity of the History Pavilion.

Ning Xiaohui didn't dare to trust these mechanical puppets at all; she knew they were all dispatched by the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

Fortunately, the battlefield was very chaotic, and she saw a gap and ran away!

And this scene was seen by Sun Lingtong.

But he didn't take action!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's huge body almost filled the entire main hall. It couldn't command the mechanical puppets to target Ning Xiaohui.

To eliminate Ning Xiaohui, it had to rely on outsiders.

Originally, Ning Zhuo was the dagger in its plan to kill, but now Ning Zhuo was not there; it surveyed the overall situation and immediately set its target on Sun Lingtong.

"Sun Lingtong!" The next moment, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's voice rang in Sun Lingtong's ears.

"Kill Ning Xiaohui!"

"She entered the History Pavilion and knows all of Ning Zhuo's secrets!"

Sun Lingtong's body shook slightly.

"Act quickly!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit shouted.

Sun Lingtong was stunned: "Who are you? Suddenly popping out to scare people, and wanting to trick me?!"

Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit:...

Ning Xiaohui stumbled, finding a chance of survival in the chaotic battlefield.

Two Foundation Establishment-level Red Flame beasts discovered fresh flesh and blood and rushed toward Ning Xiaohui.

Bang bang.

With two muffled sounds, these two Red Flame beasts were blown up halfway.

It turned out that the Zhou family Jin Dan cultivator had taken action to protect Ning Xiaohui.

Ning Xiaohui ran quickly.

More Red Flame beasts surrounded her.

Zheng Shuang hooked, throwing the moon hook in his hand.

The moon hook flew into the air, pouring out a large amount of Jin Dan magic power, gathering a magic power clone of Zheng Shuang.

The magic power clone held the moon hook, landed beside Ning Xiaohui, and killed the Red Flame beasts.

Ning Xiaohui was saved again.

"Did you discover anything in the History Pavilion?" the moon hook clone asked.

Ning Xiaohui shook all over, waking up: "That's right! I will expose the truth now, then the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit and Ning Zhuo will be finished; they will be too busy protecting themselves to have the energy to kill me..."

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaohui shook her head repeatedly, blurting out: "I had just started reading when this happened, and I didn't have time to look."

The moon hook clone nodded, not doubting her.

Ning Xiaohui:!!!!!

At this moment, she was incomparably shocked and incomparably terrified!

That wasn't what she wanted to say, but the fact was she said it.

She was not in control of herself!

"How, how is this possible?!"

"Why did I say that?"

"I clearly wanted to tell the truth, why can't I control myself?!!"

Ning Xiaohui tried hard to widen her eyes, looking at the moon hook clone for help.

But at this time, a Jin Dan-level Red Flame beast killed its way over.

The moon hook clone looked solemn: "Run quickly, I'll go stop it!"

Ning Xiaohui was only at the Qi Refining stage; the moon hook clone had to ensure distance and couldn't let the Jin Dan-level battle involve her.

Watching the moon hook clone about to leave, Ning Xiaohui seized this last opportunity and shouted—

"Senior, you must be careful!"

The moon hook clone was surprised for a moment and laughed loudly: "Little girl, you be careful. I am just a magic power clone."

"No, this is not what I wanted to say at all!!" Ning Xiaohui screamed wildly in her heart.

Fear!

Incomparably intense fear gripped her heart tightly.

Ning Xiaohui was almost suffocated by this.

"What has happened to me?"

"Why can't I even speak a single truth?"

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, yes, it must be it!"

"This is its territory; it is interfering with me, it wants to kill me!!"

Ning Xiaohui's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

The criminal puppet's face was also very pale.

He sat withered in the prison, the lamp light weak, his face sorrowful.

Suddenly, a secret door opened in the center of the stage, and the black-clothed envoy puppet walked out gloomily.

The lights on both sides focused on the black-clothed envoy puppet, setting off the darkness of the surrounding prison even more.

The low drum beats, combined with every step of the black-clothed envoy puppet, made the audience under the stage feel a sense of darkness and pressure.

The criminal puppet stood up as if electrocuted, shouting: "I didn't confess, I didn't confess, I never said you were the mastermind!"

The black-clothed envoy sang in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I have a good plan. As long as you frame him, you can escape the disaster."

After singing this sentence, he said in detail: "Commoner, don't worry, I am here to help you escape danger."

"Just frame Fang Qing, and I will guarantee you will be free of death!"

Qiang.

A gong sounded, hinting at the character's shocked emotion.

The criminal puppet was scared back a step and fell down.

He looked at the black-clothed envoy and sang urgently: "Fang Qing is an honest official; how can I frame him? I am just a commoner; how can I mess around?"

"This framed crime, how can it be true?"

"Aiya..."

The criminal puppet shook his head and waved his hands, turning slightly to face the audience, spreading his hands: "How can I be so base? How can I turn black and white, how can I deceive the people?"

The envoy puppet sneered.

The sound of the jinghu rose sharply.

The black-clothed envoy sang: "So what if he is an honest official? The people are just a mob."

"The mob is the easiest to manipulate. As long as there are many words, the crowd can melt gold."

"When has the truth ever been important?"

"As long as we frame him, he will be doomed!"

Thus, the second act of the "Fang Qing Clears the Grievance" play ended.
