Chapter 280

Zhu Xuanji recalled quickly.

"Sun Lingtong has served as the Lord of the Black Market in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for many years and has been making arrangements all along. The underground secret base exposed during the Battle of Qi Bai is proof."

"At the beginning of the Jin Dan chaotic battle, it was Yang Chanyu who appeared and deliberately exposed the True Scripture of the Demonic Path. This scripture was fake, and the Zheng family therefore faced accountability from the Taiqing Palace."

"The Kong Sect used such schemes to disintegrate the close alliance between me and the three families. They succeeded!"

"Good, worthy of being a great evil sect, the sect best at stealing in the whole world."

"So you started preparing at least ten years ago; that can be considered long-term planning."

Zhu Xuanji was about to continue listening when a letter flew in from outside the window.

The flying letter hovered in front of Zhu Xuanji; it was clearly sent to him.

Zhu Xuanji unfolded the letter, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and his expression changed drastically.

The letter originated from a Zheng family Jin Dan cultivator, telling Zhu Xuanji that a shocking change had occurred in the Lava Xian Gong, the spherical light barrier was damaged, a large number of Crimson Flame demonic beasts had surged in, and it was feared that the History Pavilion would be affected, hoping Zhu Xuanji would return to support immediately!

Zhu Xuanji suddenly felt extremely ominous; he looked at the time in the letter and found that a cup of tea's time had already passed since the letter was sent.

"Terrible!" Zhu Xuanji couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly.

"Lord?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked hurriedly.

Zhu Xuanji looked at him: "Something big has happened in the Lava Xian Gong; I will go solve this matter first, and we will discuss your affairs later."

"Wait!" Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted fiercely.

"Lord Zhu!" Unlike Ning Zhuo had an urgent expression, "Is it the people from the Kong Sect who have taken action again?"

"Take me with you, take me with you."

"I fear there are ears behind the wall; they might have already discovered that I have abandoned darkness for light."

"If you leave like this and leave me here alone, I'm afraid!"

"I am too dangerous; I want to stay by your side!"

Zhu Xuanji was speechless for a moment.

However, on second thought, he also felt that what Unlike Ning Zhuo said made a lot of sense.

"You brat..." Zhu Xuanji grabbed Unlike Ning Zhuo by the collar, then leaped out of the window, his body turning into a long rainbow, flying toward the peak of Fire Persimmon Mountain.

On the way, three more flying letters were delivered.

Zhu Xuanji didn't look at them in detail, nor did he stop at all, flying toward the Lava Xian Gong at full speed.

The top of Fire Persimmon Mountain was not far away to begin with.

After about a dozen breaths, Zhu Xuanji arrived at the top of the volcano.

Once there, several more flying letters had just been sent out, flying toward Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji swept his arm and gathered them all.

He was multitasking, reading the letters with his spiritual sense while looking at the Lava Xian Gong, staring at the hole in the spherical light barrier, his brows deeply furrowed.

Meng Kui had already taken action, dealing with the countless Crimson Flame demonic beasts outside the hole.

Without the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit to deduct spiritual power, the spherical light barrier received abundant spiritual power infusion, and the hole at the top was rapidly closing.

Zhu Xuanji's expression changed again, his aura surged, and for the first time, he lost his composure, revealing a rich killing intent.

Because he saw in the letter: The History Pavilion was destroyed, Ning Xiaohui died, and Yang Chanyu was still on the run!

"Good, what a good Kong Sect."

Zhu Xuanji was furious, gritting his teeth.

He took Unlike Ning Zhuo and rushed toward the Lava Xian Gong.

Outside the Xian Gong, the Crimson Flame demonic beasts were already boiling, frantically attacking the spherical light barrier.

Zhu Xuanji's undisguised actions attracted a large number of demonic beasts to attack him.

But flames, lava, and so on were all blocked by Meng Kui's Nascent Soul hand.

Zhu Xuanji had a smooth journey, approached the Lava Xian Gong, and with Unlike Ning Zhuo, was successfully guided in by the treasure light.

After entering the Xian Gong, he let out a long whistle.

The whistling sound resounded through the Xian Gong, and the surging sound waves echoed in the spherical light barrier.

Zhu Zhen and the three families' Jin Dan cultivators heard the sound and were all pleasantly surprised, knowing that Zhu Xuanji had returned.

Soon, they converged in mid-air.

"Lord Divine Catcher!"

"Quick, we just lost Yang Chanyu; we urgently need you to take action."

"This is the time for your Golden Eyes to show their might!"

Having converged, another piece of bad news came rushing toward them.

Zhu Xuanji's expression sank again: "Wasn't Yang Chanyu marked with a tracking spell?"

The Jin Dan cultivators sighed, and one of them said: "It's the Water of Supreme Goodness! I sensed that she used a drop and quickly resolved my method."

"Take me to the last location immediately." Zhu Xuanji didn't dare to delay.

The Jin Dan ancestors flew over together again.

Arriving at the destination, Zhu Xuanji's eyes glowed with golden light, and he used various methods.

While holding Unlike Ning Zhuo, he led the cultivators to track them all the way.

As a result, the clues he saw became more and more numerous, and the traces split into multiple paths.

Finally, Zhu Xuanji stopped, his face as gloomy as water: "Truly the true disciple of the Kong Sect; the means of forging traces are excellent."

The Jin Dan cultivators looked at each other.

Zhu Zhen said: "Brother, this cannot be blamed on you. In the Lava Xian Gong, there are many places we cannot approach."

"This is extremely convenient for Yang Chanyu to hide."

Zhu Xuanji's face was cold and stern; he turned to stare at the Jin Dan cultivators and said coldly: "Return to the History Pavilion!"

At the same time.

Yang Chanyu and Sun Lingtong converged.

"This time, we really angered Zhu Xuanji. I just looked, wow, his expression is so scary." Yang Chanyu laughed.

Sun Lingtong said in a deep voice: "Next, we are afraid we will have to face the joint forces of Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui."

Yang Chanyu shrugged, not caring about the subsequent situation.

She took a few steps forward, took the initiative to walk in front of Sun Lingtong, and then bent down, looking at Sun Lingtong at close range.

Sun Lingtong frowned, subconsciously wanting to retreat, but unwilling to lose his momentum, he stiffened his small neck and widened his big eyes: "What are you doing?"

Yang Chanyu stared at Sun Lingtong's eyes: "The treasure of Water Virtue is indeed easy to use!"

"You actually care about me quite a bit."

"If it weren't for you sending it in time, I'm afraid I would have been chased by Zhu Xuanji all over the place by now."

"I can sense that his Golden Eyes innate talent is almost a divine ability!"

Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes: "It's good that you understand such reasoning."

As he spoke, he changed direction, wanting to bypass Yang Chanyu and continue forward.

As a result, Yang Chanyu took a step across and blocked Sun Lingtong again.

Her pair of wonderful eyes looked straight at Sun Lingtong, and she even took the initiative to lean forward, making the distance between her face and Sun Lingtong's no more than a fist.

Sun Lingtong finally couldn't help it, took a step back, and shouted: "What kind of mischief are you up to again? Walk properly!"

Yang Chanyu laughed, her gaze becoming sharp: "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and that Unlike Ning Zhuo?"

"Didn't I already tell you? A cooperative relationship!" Sun Lingtong spread his hands.

Yang Chanyu: "But I always feel it's not ordinary."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo was called out of the Xian Gong by Zhu Xuanji; as soon as he left, you asked me to take action against Ning Xiaohui. You also told me that there was a high possibility of Jin Dan cultivators lying in ambush."

"Did you take action at this time to take the opportunity to clear the suspicion on him?"

"Good fellow, you actually committed a crime under Zhu Xuanji's nose, letting the dignified Divine Catcher be your eyewitness; you're really something, playing quite fancy!"

Sun Lingtong took a step back, and Yang Chanyu took a step forward.

With a pressing posture, she continued: "And the bombardment of the Five Elements Artillery Tower, that was also your doing, right?"

"Your arrangements in the Xian Gong are all in the History Pavilion. So, you simply blew up the History Pavilion."

"You took action against Ning Xiaohui also because this silly girl had a position in the History Pavilion and might have discovered your criminal evidence!"

Sun Lingtong raised his voice: "What are you thinking?"

"We can control the Five Elements Artillery Tower? You're thinking quite beautifully."

Yang Chanyu was not stupid; she sneered coldly: "Why can't you control the Five Elements Artillery Tower? That Unlike Ning Zhuo controls the medical clinic, and even arranged for an outsider like me to enter secretly."

"The essence of the Five Elements Artillery Tower and the medical clinic is the same."

"Still hiding it from me now, that's definitely not going to work!"

"I don't want to be bombarded by the Five Elements Artillery Tower one day while I'm being chased by Jin Dan cultivators!"

Yang Chanyu revealed a firm expression, indicating her determination to know the inside story.

Sun Lingtong hissed, thinking: This woman is really difficult to deal with! Really troublesome to death.

For a moment, Sun Lingtong had a headache, quickly pondering in his heart what should be said and what should not be said.

The competition for the Lava Xian Gong had reached the final pass.

A precious combat force like Yang Chanyu needed to be fought for with all his might.

But Sun Lingtong couldn't give Yang Chanyu too high expectations, because Elder Qing was behind her. If the expectations were too high, it would be easy to attract Elder Qing and others.

He couldn't not give her expectations either. He just had to make her feel that this matter had potential and that she had profit to gain, so that he could continue to use her.

Sun Lingtong began to weigh his words.

Zhu Xuanji took Unlike Ning Zhuo and others to the original site of the History Pavilion.

This was a huge artillery crater; the History Pavilion had been blown up extremely thoroughly, with not even a bit of slag left.

Zhu Xuanji used tracking methods, but also had no gains.

His expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Unlike Ning Zhuo held his breath, not daring to make any big movements.

The other Jin Dan cultivators also remained silent.

After a long while, Zhu Xuanji said: "Go, go to the next place."

Soon, everyone arrived at the Gourd Furnace Forest again.

They stood before a silver furnace.

The silver furnace had already been destroyed.

The one who took action was Zheng Danlian.

"Ning Xiaohui had my monitoring spell on her."

"Sensing that she lost her life, in my desperation, I directly destroyed this silver furnace."

"But... in the end, I didn't save her."

Zhu Xuanji ignored him; he placed himself in the ruins of the silver furnace, with silver furnace fragments everywhere under his feet.

Zhu Xuanji directly activated his Golden Eyes and used the spell of tracing the root to the source.

Soon, he "saw" the scene of Ning Xiaohui fleeing in panic and hiding in the silver furnace.

He also "saw" Sun Lingtong performing the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Scripture, burning and refining Ning Xiaohui.

Finally, he saw the words Ning Xiaohui eroded into the ice bricks with her spiritual power after knowing she would definitely die while struggling frantically in the furnace!

It turned out that Ning Xiaohui was filled with a strong will for revenge, trying her best to leave clues for Zhu Xuanji.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was quite far from Ning Xiaohui; before, separated by the Lava Xian Gong, communication was already difficult. By the time they reached the silver furnace and the flames started burning, the sensing was even more blurred.

The characters Ning Xiaohui left behind in the ice bricks were very small and hidden.

Neither Unlike Ning Zhuo nor Sun Lingtong had noticed!
