Chapter 298: Far-sightedness breaks the robbery

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

Pop, pop, pop!

"What sound?" Ning Zhuo asked.

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

Ning Zhuo then agreed and gave the order to fire.

Boom, boom, boom...

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

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

He had been prepared for this.

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

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

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

First, he killed a few Red Flame Demon Beasts, and then he came to a ruin of a gold furnace.

"The Lava Immortal Palace originally had eight gold furnaces, but now only three remain, and five have been used."

"The clues left by Ning Xiaohui are on the five gold furnaces that have been used!"

"I already know the inside story of the No. 1 gold furnace, no need to detect."

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

"The damage of the gold furnace is likely to be in this order. In other words, the No. 5 gold furnace was damaged closest to the present."

"Then, it's it!"

Innate Talent—Golden Eyes!

Cultivation Technique—Tracing the Source Art.

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

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

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

Subsequently, the gold furnace started with a roar, burning with raging flames, and began the process of refining.

With the melting, countless cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the gold furnace.

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

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

"This is—that mechanism 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 gold furnace remained motionless, and countless Red Flame Demon Beasts died.

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

Zhu Xuanji was covered in golden light, bathed in the bombardment, but remained motionless.

However, a powerful force was pushing him to walk outward.

Zhu Xuanji felt helpless.

Because this force came from the Immortal Palace restrictions. Now that the demon beasts were lost, Zhu Xuanji was no longer qualified to stay here.

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

Just as he left the gold 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 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 Tiao-Tiao Ke, only knowing that the Tiao-Tiao Ke had taken out Yuan Dasheng's body.

"Righteous Bone Gold Firm? Yuan Dasheng actually has immortal aptitude. No wonder the Demonic Path True Scripture still remained in the body after it died."

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

"Sun Lingtong, Tiao-Tiao Ke, and others of the Non-Empty Gate not only obtained the Demonic Path True Scripture, but also used the gold furnace to make Yuan Dasheng into a mechanism ape."

"That mechanism ape should be the one on the route of soul entering the Immortal Palace."

"Before, everyone guessed that it was part of the Immortal Palace, one of the arrangements of the Three Sects Masters. I didn't expect that it was the means of the Non-Empty Gate."

"The Non-Empty Gate has long coveted the Lava Immortal Palace and has infiltrated deeply, not only being able to change names, adding mechanism apes in the trial level to intercept the reform team, but also being able to use the gold furnace to seek personal gain."

"Perhaps, the mechanism traps on the route of soul entering the Immortal Palace that once troubled all the reform team members were also arrangements of the Non-Empty Gate?"

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

"I have already communicated with Meng Kui about Ning Zhuo's confession. He now takes Fei Si's report letter to me, what does it mean?"

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Xuanji felt a little confused, but immediately realized.

He glanced 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 receive it.

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

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

But he understood that Zhu Xuanji had already explored the No. 5 gold furnace.

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 that "the gold furnace melting immortal aptitude will self-destruct," Yuan Dasheng's possession of immortal aptitude was also exposed.

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

If he hadn't done so, he wouldn't have been able to take the opportunity to reveal the secret that "Yuan Dasheng had been handed over to the Non-Empty Gate." Without this advance mine-clearing action, Zhu Xuanji's exploration of the No. 5 gold furnace at this moment would inevitably detonate this hidden danger.

And at this time, Ning Zhuo 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 restrained him, making him unable to act freely, he would be unable to move and eventually be exposed and defeated.

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

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

It was Ning Zhuo's far-sightedness, and his dozen years of preparation, and many arrangements in the second line of defense, that allowed him to pass this robbery.

"Zhu Xuanji is becoming more and more troublesome."

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

"Today's shelling, although it stopped his follow-up actions, the shelling itself also exposed many secrets."

"After this incident, Zhu Xuanji will inevitably realize that the Non-Empty Gate is very nervous about the gold furnace, further confirming that the gold furnace has major clues!"

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

"Sigh, headache!"

What Ning Zhuo is facing 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 Ning Zhuo much easier.

But reality and ideals often have a clear gap.

Ning Zhuo could only be forced to draw energy, pay attention to the movement of demon beasts at all times, and once there was any demon beast group to attack the gold 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 was also a correct move."

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

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

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

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

He also took out the Jin Dan-level ape mechanism and the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng.

In front of Sun Lingtong, 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, lifelike.

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

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 mechanism body. Wait for my order, and you will launch a counterattack."

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

Magic power was poured into the strange flower Cloud Hidden Bud, catalyzing a cloud of smoke.

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

The cloud of smoke wrapped around 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.

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

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

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

After Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong talked secretly, he returned to his temporary residence and took the initiative to see Ning Jiufan.

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

Saying that, Ning Zhuo took out the Jin Dan-level mechanism ape and handed it directly to Ning Jiufan.

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

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

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

However, compared with the appearance, the inside of the mechanism ape was empty, and many mechanism parts needed to be filled before it could 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 actively prepare from all aspects.

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

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

This time, Ning Zhuo took the initiative to offer it, which made Ning Jiufan feel relieved, feeling that Ning Zhuo was indeed a member of the Ning family, and his previous actions of protecting Ning Zhuo were not wrong! Now, there was a heartwarming reward.

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

Ning Zhuo showed joy, quickly took it, and thanked him sincerely.

Seeing Ning Jiufan open the Jin Dan mechanism ape, Ning Zhuo took his leave sensibly.

Fire Persimmon Immortal City, City Lord's Mansion.

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

He entered the dungeon, saw Han Ming, and said bluntly: "According to what you said, that Tiao-Tiao Ke used you to increase his soul foundation?"

"This official doesn't believe it."

"Come, come, come, you show it and use it on this official!"
