Chapter 309: Master of the Split Family!

"Splitting the family? Simply nonsense!"

"It's fine for Unlike Ning Zhuo to be nonsense, but you all, how old are you, and you follow along to be nonsense!"

"I don't agree to split the family!"

Hearing this news, Ning Jiufan was furious and immediately called a halt.

"Splitting the family will inevitably greatly damage the fate of my Ning Clan."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is a son who will prosper the clan, and he cannot be split at will!"

"If splitting the family happens during my time looking after the clan, leading to the further decline of the Ning Clan, how will I, Ning Jiufan, face the ancestors in the underworld in the future?"

Ning Jiufan's attitude was very firm.

He was the only Golden Core cultivator of the entire Ning Clan, and his statement immediately overturned the entire situation.

"What, stopped by our clan's Golden Core ancestor?" Hearing this bad news, Unlike Ning Zhuo's face was very ugly.

The messenger who contacted him had a crying face: "The clan has already brought your bloodline umbilical cord, as well as the plaque for splitting the family and the memorial tablet, but they were all intercepted halfway by the ancestor and confiscated."

"The Clan Head specifically cautioned the small one to make sure you know, Lord, that this is not that the Ning Clan main lineage doesn't want to cooperate, but that the arm cannot twist the thigh."

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered for a moment.

He fell into deep thought, his fingers subconsciously rubbing the cup lid.

After a long silence, he said: "I already know about this matter, and I also believe in the cooperation sincerity of the main lineage."

"This is not your fault, nor is it mine, it's just that an accident occurred halfway."

"I will still follow the previous agreement, release Grandma Xiaohui, and at the same time recruit Ning Xiaoren to work under my command, helping him perform meritorious service."

"But I hope the Ning Clan main lineage will send out power and work with me to persuade the ancestor."

"Take this wish of mine back."

The messenger was worried and happy, and respectfully withdrew.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed deeply.

Ning Jiufan had always ignored worldly affairs; he didn't expect him to suddenly intervene.

Is it that splitting the family is of great importance, or is it because Unlike Ning Zhuo himself has been watched by Ning Jiufan at all times? Or perhaps both?

Not long after, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to see Ning Jiufan and mentioned the matter of splitting the family.

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure, and directly gave Unlike Ning Zhuo a chestnut: "You still have the face to mention it?!"

"Seeing you silent for a few days, I didn't expect you to make a big one for me as soon as you came up."

Unlike Ning Zhuo complained: "This time it is Grandma Xiaohui..."

Ning Jiufan interrupted directly: "I don't listen to these!"

"Since she made a mistake, then deal with it according to clan rules. This is not a bargaining chip for you to seek benefits for yourself."

Ning Jiufan stared: "How did I explain to you before? I told you not to be dragged out by worldly affairs, and to go all out for the palace examination."

"How did you do it?"

"Or are you saying that you think your battle record is excellent enough that you can relax?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly said: "Ancestor, please calm down for now."

"Please forgive me for being bold, even if you stopped me this time, can you stop my heart?"

"Regarding splitting the family, I am serious, and I am also unwavering!"

"I firmly believe: my separation from the main lineage is a parting of ways, each with a future. On the contrary, living together is looking at each other with disgust and mutual restraint. In the end, we will make a bloody mess and cause unbearable human tragedies!"

"When it really reaches that point, you, Ancestor, will also have a share of the responsibility."

Ning Jiufan was furious: "Good brat!"

Golden Core aura erupted, directly pressing Unlike Ning Zhuo to his knees on the ground.

Unlike Ning Zhuo knew this was a critical moment, supported his body, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he still stubbornly raised his head: "An, Ancestor, if you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

Ning Jiufan's momentum stalled: "What bet?"

With a secretly set bet, Unlike Ning Zhuo left the house.

He sighed deeply; this was already the best result he had fought for with all his might.

Having reached this point, Unlike Ning Zhuo was naturally unwilling to give up, so he simply bet with the Ning Clan ancestor!

Splitting the family failed, but Unlike Ning Zhuo still let Grandma Xiaohui go, and recruited Ning Xiaoren, which caused widespread dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

The branch lineage already hated the main lineage very much, but Unlike Ning Zhuo, as the future leader they looked up to, performed so fawningly.

And the couple Ning Ze and Wang Lan, who were suffering from the pain of losing their son, jumped up and down, spreading rumors everywhere that Unlike Ning Zhuo had changed, and secretly spread rumors that Unlike Ning Zhuo had reached a secret agreement with the main lineage, received huge benefits, and left the entire Ning Clan branch behind.

They wanted to use this to force Unlike Ning Zhuo to prove his innocence.

And how to prove innocence?

Nothing more than pursuing the murderer's responsibility and taking revenge for his cousin Ning Ji!

Because of the internal traitor Ning Xiangguo and others, the City Lord's Mansion saw the flaw, quickly seized this opportunity, secretly cooperated with Ning Ze and Wang Lan, and set off a wave of crusade against Unlike Ning Zhuo in the Ning Clan branch, hoping that Unlike Ning Zhuo would stand up and explain the origin and process.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not come forward.

He knew very well that if he came forward, he would inevitably have to retreat.

And once he retreated and eliminated Grandma Xiaohui, he would lose the most important reason. How could the various elders of the Ning Clan recognize his topic of splitting the family?

At the very least, he should maintain the hope of splitting the family and not let this hope shrink.

And the progress of the second round of the palace examination had also reached a critical node, making Unlike Ning Zhuo have to invest his main energy to carry out the palace examination.

The eighteenth question.

The content of the question was undergoing small changes—the arena was open, the preparation stage was shielded, and cultivators were allowed to cast spells to assist.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong started a war.

Sun Lingtong released the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng, shouting and persuading Unlike Ning Zhuo to admit defeat directly.

Who knew that after Unlike Ning Zhuo finished his preparations, he did not build any mechanism puppets, but purely forged more than twenty flying floating hand mechanisms!

"The one who should admit defeat is you, Sun Lingtong!"

"I want to take back the humiliation of being coerced, lured, secretly controlled, and bullied by you all these years in this battle today!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted, his fighting spirit quite vigorous.

The next moment, more than twenty flying floating hands flew into mid-air and cast spells on the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng together.

The explosion of spells was extremely fierce; more than twenty flying floating hands, such an extreme configuration, pushed the attack power to the limit.

The Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng was submerged in a gorgeous spell frenzy.

It struggled to resist, knocking down nearly ten flying floating hands, but in the end, it still fell, its body riddled with holes, miserable to look at.

"No, my mechanism battle ape! You brat, you are dead!!" Sun Lingtong shouted, his eyes spraying fire, staring at Unlike Ning Zhuo, wishing he could eat him.

Sun Lingtong, who had been mixing in the black market for a long time and had been cultivated by his master since childhood, had acting skills that were not weak at all.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sneered without fear, shouting excitedly: "Sun Lingtong, do you know how long I have waited for this day? You think I don't know, actually I have already secretly scouted and studied your mechanism ape many times!"

The cultivators watching the battle saw this result and shouted in surprise and applause!

During this period of time, Sun Lingtong could be called invincible, truly too strong.

Didn't expect that this time, Unlike Ning Zhuo actually won by luck.

That's right, in the eyes of the cultivators, Unlike Ning Zhuo just adopted an extreme arena competition strategy, did not build conventional mechanism puppets, but put all his eggs in one basket, building more than twenty floating hand spell-casting mechanisms.

However, those who cared secretly noted that Unlike Ning Zhuo had just "excitedly" shouted that he had once secretly conducted many studies on the mechanism ape.

Since he had studied it, why didn't Unlike Ning Zhuo say the precious information he knew before, when the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng first appeared, and share it with everyone?

If he had said it, maybe they could also defeat Sun Lingtong!

This undoubtedly made everyone realize that even if Unlike Ning Zhuo had pleaded guilty before, he had hidden a lot of information.

This information could bring him some convenience.

Like this arena victory, there was help from information. It was precisely because Unlike Ning Zhuo had an unusual understanding of the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng that he could determine the advantage in the early bombardment and finalize the victory.

Thus, after the palace examination that day, messengers came to buy information from Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo pushed them all away.

Waiting until the second day of the palace examination, people were pleasantly surprised to find that Sun Lingtong did not use the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng again.

Sun Lingtong had a gloomy face, always staring at Unlike Ning Zhuo, the hatred and anger in his eyes overflowing.

Thus, everyone guessed that Unlike Ning Zhuo's battle yesterday had severely damaged the mechanism ape, at least for a short time, it could not be repaired.

Unlike Ning Zhuo therefore harvested more appreciation, and at the same time, without the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng, everyone did not value the little information he mastered so much.

For the subsequent palace examination, Sun Lingtong did not use the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng again.

The purpose was to obtain a defeat record and be close to Unlike Ning Zhuo's performance. In this way, the "Unlike Ning Zhuo" and "Entry Standard" on the battle record ranking list would not have huge differences.

Once there was a difference, and it did not match the performance of Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong, then the cultivators would naturally easily guess the truth that the name did not match the person.

The twentieth question.

A Five Elements Spirit Turning Disk was placed on the table.

Besides this, there were several other mechanism components.

Whoever could design a perfect plan and utilize these mechanism components well, then the battle record would not be bad.

While others were preparing and trying the functions of the mechanism components, Unlike Ning Zhuo used the Five Elements Spirit Turning Disk, extremely familiar.

This scene was discovered by many cultivators who were in the spectator seats.

From the twenty-first question, the question examined large mechanisms, allowing cultivators to choose an outsider to act as an assistant for forging mechanisms and participate in the palace examination.

The twenty-second question.

The question provided another mechanism component—a blood path circuit board!

Unlike Ning Zhuo got started easily again, almost using it as soon as he took it.

Ning Xiaoren was chosen by him to act as an assistant.

He ordered Ning Xiaoren to provide essence blood. And Unlike Ning Zhuo used this essence blood to cast the Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art to make the blood path circuit board.

"Not enough, not enough."

"More!"

"I want more!!"

Under Unlike Ning Zhuo's ruthless demand, Ning Xiaoren's expression quickly became pale.

He revealed a look of terror: "A person's essence blood is limited. Unlike Ning Zhuo, if you let me continue to dedicate, I will die!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes were indifferent: "Ning Xiaoren, don't you want to perform meritorious service? Didn't you repent to me and swear to redeem your sins? Since so, now is the best opportunity for you to redeem yourself!"

Ning Xiaoren was shocked: "You want me to die?!"

"Obey my orders!" Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted.

"No, no!" Ning Xiaoren retreated in panic, but being on the arena, where could he retreat to.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sneered: "You don't want to die, but it's not up to you."

He suddenly cast his gaze toward another arena, where Ning Jiufan and the Ning Clan Head stood.

"Clan Head, Ning Xiaoren is your son, do you think he should dedicate himself to the clan?" Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted.

Many cultivators looked sideways.

This scene was very interesting.

The Ning Clan Head's face was livid, struggling quite a bit, and finally said painfully: "My son, it is indeed time for you to sacrifice for the clan! Don't smear the main lineage!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo laughed loudly.

"Dad!" Ning Xiaoren shouted in disbelief, incomparably terrified and flustered.

However, contrary to the Ning Clan Head's expectations, Unlike Ning Zhuo did not really kill Ning Xiaoren, just drained him until he was on the verge of death.

When the palace examination ended that day, Unlike Ning Zhuo led the unconscious Ning Xiaoren to see Ning Jiufan.

Beside Ning Jiufan, the Ning Clan Head was explaining with all his might, stuttering, his head full of cold sweat.

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo come over, the Ning Clan Head finally couldn't help but scold angrily: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, you dare to plot against me!"

It turned out that Unlike Ning Zhuo had already known that Ning Xiaoren participated in the kidnapping case through the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's prompt.

He quietly collected enough evidence and secretly threatened the Ning Clan Head.

The Ning Clan Head only then knew that Ning Xiaoren colluded with outsiders to harm his own clansmen, a crime that could not be forgiven!

So, during the day, Unlike Ning Zhuo wanted to drain Ning Xiaoren to death, and he behaved strangely; although his expression was quite hesitant and struggling, he finally opened his mouth to persuade Ning Xiaoren to dedicate his life.

As a result, after the palace examination ended, he was grabbed by Ning Jiufan and criticized fiercely.

The Ning Clan Head only then knew that Ning Jiufan had long understood Ning Xiaoren's evil of colluding with outsiders.

Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed deeply and saw Ning Jiufan, only saying: "Ancestor, this bet, I won."

Ning Jiufan glanced at the pale Ning Clan Head, his tone extremely indifferent: "For the sake of your own power, sacrificing your biological son, having a Clan Head like you is truly the fortune of my Ning Clan!"

Thump.

The Ning Clan Head fell to the ground, scared into a dull gaze.

"My Ning Clan is a cultivation clan, maintained by family affection and bloodline. You don't think about helping your son, letting him get rid of control and return to the light, but only care about your power and status."

"You really make me too disappointed!"

After criticizing the Ning Clan Head, Ning Jiufan looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his expression appearing quite complicated.

He wanted to persuade, but in Unlike Ning Zhuo's firm gaze, he opened his storage belt and took out the bloodline umbilical cord, the Ning Clan plaque, and the memorial tablet.

"Take it, my split family Clan Head."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was overjoyed, hurriedly took it, checked it on the spot, and bowed to Ning Jiufan: "The palace examination has not ended, I will not immediately establish the split family, so as not to cause clan turmoil."

"Ancestor, after the split family is newly built, I still have to rely on your protection."

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "Get out, you brat, you don't let people save worry for a moment."

"Lord Zhu has already arrived outside your room, he is here specifically to see you."

"You can say what you want, or you can not say it. Remember, you are already the Clan Head of my Ning Clan's split family."

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly thanked him and respectfully withdrew. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
