Chapter 298

Forced by helplessness, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit only revealed the content of the Palace Examination to Unlike Ning Zhuo at a very fast speed.

Pop, pop, pop!

"What sound?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked.

"Little Master, I am revealing the content of the Palace Examination to you, and I am being severely punished by the Xian Gong Fire Whip." The situation was extremely critical, and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't care less, urging frantically, "Hurry up and fire the cannon!!"

Only then did Unlike Ning Zhuo agree and gave the order to fire.

Boom, boom, boom...

A large number of cannonballs condensed by Five Elements magic power flew toward the golden furnace position.

"Sure enough!" Zhu Xuanji's golden light shone brightly in his eyes.

He had been prepared for this.

The next moment, the cultivators he arranged activated the temporary formation and intercepted quite a few Five Elements cannonballs in mid-air.

Zhu Xuanji threw out a formation disk, instantly casting a defensive magic formation to block the remaining cannonball attacks.

And he took the opportunity to come to the golden furnace.

First, he killed a few Red Flame demonic beasts, and then he came to a ruin of the golden furnace.

"The Molten Xian Gong originally had eight golden furnaces, but now only three remain, and five have been used."

"The three intact golden furnaces don't need to be considered; the clues left by Ning Xiaohui are on the five golden furnaces that have been used!"

"Golden Furnace No. 1, I already know the inside story, no need to detect."

"The remaining ones are No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5."

"The damage of the golden furnace is likely in this order. That is to say, the damage time of Golden Furnace No. 5 is closest to the present."

"Then, it's it!"

Immortal Aptitude—Golden Eyes!

Cultivation Technique—Tracing the Source Art.

The next moment, Zhu Xuanji "saw" the past.

He saw a teleportation light circle form out of thin air, and then spit out Yuan Dasheng's body.

The door of the golden furnace opened automatically, sucking Yuan Dasheng's body into it.

Subsequently, the golden furnace started with a bang, and the raging flames burned, starting the refining process.

Accompanied by the melting, countless cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the golden furnace.

When the refining was finished, the golden furnace collapsed with a bang, turning into countless fragments and debris.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a mechanical ape stood in place, motionless.

"This is—that mechanical ape in the trial level?!" In an instant, Zhu Xuanji's pupils expanded slightly.

The retrospective image ended here.

Zhu Xuanji came back to his senses and found that another round of shelling had arrived!

Boom, boom, boom...

Under the coverage of the artillery fire, the intact golden furnace stood still, and countless Red Flame demonic beasts died.

The temporary formation Zhu Xuanji arranged finally could not bear it and was submerged in the ravages of Five Elements magic power.

Zhu Xuanji was covered in golden light, bathed in the bombing, but stood still.

However, a powerful force was pushing him outward.

Zhu Xuanji felt helpless.

Because this force came from the Xian Gong restrictions. Now that the demonic beasts are lost, Zhu Xuanji is no longer qualified to stay here.

Zhu Xuanji participated in the Palace Examination to compete for the position of Palace Master, and did not want to resist such force, so he had to comply temporarily.

Just as he left the golden furnace, a flying letter descended and hovered slowly in front of him.

It was Meng Kui's letter!

Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly after reading the flying letter: "Just this?"

He didn't care.

Because, after Unlike Ning Zhuo confessed his guilt, he admitted that the body of Yuan Dasheng he obtained was obtained by Sun Lingtong!

Han Ming had never seen the true face of the Young Guest, only knowing that the Young Guest took out Yuan Dasheng's body.

"Righteous Bone Golden Firm? Yuan Dasheng actually has immortal aptitude. No wonder the Demon Path True Scripture still remained in his body after he died."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't know the true value of Yuan Dasheng and handed this body over."

"Sun Lingtong, the Young Guest, and others of the Empty Gate not only obtained the Demon Path True Scripture, but also used the golden furnace to make Yuan Dasheng into a mechanical ape."

"That mechanical ape should be the one on the line of soul entering the Xian Gong."

"Before, everyone guessed that it was part of the Xian Gong, one of the arrangements of the Three Sects Masters. Didn't expect that this was the means of the Empty Gate."

"The Empty Gate has long coveted the Molten Xian Gong and penetrated deeply, not only being able to change names, adding mechanical apes in the trial level to intercept the modification team, but also being able to use the golden furnace to seek private gain for themselves."

"Perhaps, on the line of soul entering the Xian Gong, those mechanical traps that once troubled all modification team members were also the arrangements of the Empty Gate?"

The City Lord's Mansion had long captured two demon cultivators of the Soul-Eater Sect (Triangle Eyes, Hook Nose), so Zhu Xuanji believed that the Young Guest and Sun Lingtong were both disciples of the Empty Gate.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo confessed his guilt, I had already communicated with Meng Kui. He now took Fei Si's report letter to me, what does it mean?"

"Oh, I understand."

Zhu Xuanji felt a little confused, then suddenly realized.

He looked up at the sky and snorted coldly: "This old slippery head."

Immediately, Zhu Xuanji wrote a flying letter and arranged for a messenger to send it to Meng Kui.

Meng Kui had been waiting, and seeing the flying letter, he immediately flew out a giant hand to meet it.

After getting Zhu Xuanji's consent, Meng Kui immediately conveyed the order to Fei Si, asking him to take action.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not know about Han Ming's surrender.

But he understood that Zhu Xuanji had already explored Golden Furnace No. 5.

This made him realize that the refining of Yuan Dasheng and the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng had been exposed.

If Zhu Xuanji knew the mechanism of "the golden furnace melting immortal aptitude will self-destruct," then the fact that Yuan Dasheng possessed immortal aptitude was also exposed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt fortunate for himself: "Fortunately, back then, in the Ciyou Garden, I made the correct decision—to betray Boss Sun and confess my guilt to Zhu Xuanji!"

If he hadn't done this back then, he wouldn't have been able to smoothly reveal the secret that "Yuan Dasheng had been handed over to the Empty Gate." Without this advance mine-clearing action, Zhu Xuanji's exploration of Golden Furnace No. 5 at this moment would inevitably have detonated this hidden danger.

And Unlike Ning Zhuo at this time no longer had the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to protect him!

Even if he could temporarily deal with it, as long as Zhu Xuanji and others controlled him, making him unable to act freely, he would be unable to move, and finally exposed and defeated.

He was able to pass the test temporarily this time because of his previous actions.

One step wrong, even if there was nothing at the time, once the incident happened later, there was almost no opportunity to change anything.

It was Unlike Ning Zhuo's foresight, and his many arrangements in the second line of defense for more than ten years, that allowed him to survive this disaster.

"Zhu Xuanji is becoming more and more troublesome."

"This guy actually set his sights on the golden furnace!"

"Today's shelling, although it prevented his subsequent actions, the shelling itself also exposed many secrets."

"After this incident, Zhu Xuanji must realize that the Empty Gate is very nervous about the golden furnace, further confirming that the golden furnace has major clues!"

"He will definitely continue to try, and the next preparation will be more sufficient."

"Sigh, headache!"

What Unlike Ning Zhuo faces is not just the Palace Examination, not just continuing to cooperate with Sun Lingtong in front of the public, he also has to deal with Zhu Xuanji who is chasing the truth!

If Zhu Xuanji focused on the Palace Examination, it would make Unlike Ning Zhuo much easier.

But reality and ideals often have a clear gap.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was forced to draw energy, pay attention to the movement of demonic beasts at all times, and once any demonic beast group was about to attack the golden furnace, he had to fire in advance to try not to give Zhu Xuanji a chance.

"Choosing the position of the Five Elements Cannon Tower Tower Master back then was also a correct move."

The position of the Five Elements Cannon Tower has repeatedly reflected its powerful value.

The position of the medical hall director is also very useful.

Unlike Ning Zhuo came to the intensive care room and secretly met with Sun Lingtong.

He shared all the Palace Examination information he had heard from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit with Sun Lingtong.

He took out the Jin Dan-level ape machine, as well as the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng.

In front of Sun Lingtong, Unlike Ning Zhuo used the Human Life Hanging Thread divine ability to hang out Yuan Dasheng's spirituality.

Yuan Dasheng's spirituality floated in mid-air, round like a ball.

The ball showed the appearance of a monkey head, vivid and lifelike.

The monkey head was not noisy, but looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo solemnly and made a sound: "Lord."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded to him: "There is a task for you to do."

"In the next period of time, I want you to lurk into this mechanical body. Wait for my order, and you will launch a counterattack."

After Unlike Ning Zhuo finished speaking, magic power poured into the bottom of his tongue, where a strange flower was hidden.

Magic power poured into the Cloud Hidden Bud, triggering a cloud of smoke.

Unlike Ning Zhuo spat out the cloud of smoke toward Yuan Dasheng's spirituality.

The cloud of smoke wrapped Yuan Dasheng's spirituality, making it a semi-transparent state that was almost non-existent, and there were many cloud patterns around the spiritual light ball.

Unlike Ning Zhuo stuffed Yuan Dasheng's spirituality with cloud patterns into the Jin Dan-level mechanical ape.

Unlike Ning Zhuo let Yuan Dasheng try to use the new body, and after giving it a period of time to adapt, ordered it to hide again.

Finally, Unlike Ning Zhuo opened the body of the Jin Dan mechanical ape, dismantled many internal parts, took them out, and placed them in the intensive care room.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong talked secretly, he returned to his temporary residence and took the initiative to seek an audience with Ning Jiufan.

"Old Ancestor, the second round of the Palace Examination is imminent. After thinking about it, I still feel that lending this thing to you is the best!"

Saying this, Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the Jin Dan-level mechanical ape and handed it directly to Ning Jiufan.

Ning Jiufan was surprised and subconsciously scanned the entire Jin Dan ape machine with his spiritual sense.

He saw that the mechanical ape was tall, one zhang eight. Its skeleton and joints used Ten Thousand Strike Black Iron. The chest and back mainly used Red Sun Copper. The fingers and teeth were made of Diamond Stone.

The entire mechanical ape used high-end materials and was extremely thick.

However, compared to the appearance, the inside of the mechanical ape was empty, and many mechanical parts needed to be filled to be driven.

"Little Zhuo, not bad, you are very good." Ning Jiufan stroked his beard, feeling satisfied, "Then, I will accept your filial piety. The second round of the Palace Examination may indeed need to use it!"

Since the news of the second round of the Palace Examination was conveyed, he had been trying every means to prepare actively from all aspects.

He naturally thought of the Jin Dan-level mechanical ape in Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands.

However, hindered by his elder status and the face of the righteous path, he was not easy to open his mouth to ask Unlike Ning Zhuo for it.

This time, Unlike Ning Zhuo offered it on his own initiative, making Ning Jiufan feel relieved, feeling that Unlike Ning Zhuo was indeed a member of the Ning family, and his previous actions of protecting Unlike Ning Zhuo were not wrong! Now, there was a heartwarming return.

"This mechanical classic 'Ice Sculpture Secret Classic' is the object of my mechanical art focus, take it back and study it." Ning Jiufan took out a jade slip from his storage ring.

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately showed joy, hurriedly took it, and thanked him sincerely.

Seeing Ning Jiufan open the Jin Dan mechanical ape, Unlike Ning Zhuo wisely withdrew.

Fire Persimmon Immortal City, City Lord's Mansion.

Fei Si got Meng Kui's reply and immediately started action.

He entered the dungeon, saw Han Ming, and said directly: "According to what you said, that Young Guest used you to increase his soul foundation?"

"I don't believe it."

"Come, come, come, you try to display it and use it on me!"
