Chapter 316

"Meng Chong battles Zhou Nongying, and in the end, Meng Chong actually won?!" Shu Zhongjun stomped his feet, dazed for a moment; only then did he react.

In this Turning Secret Pavilion, these Jin Dan-stage cultivators were severely suppressed, having only Qi Condensation-stage combat power.

Moreover, they could not use their own treasures and could only perform spells.

Under these circumstances, Meng Chong, who possessed Immortal Talent, actually occupied the advantage.

"Perhaps, he also collected quite a few mechanism props." Shu Zhongjun could not help but think of the huge door he had encountered before.

He did not know the "Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art," so he could only sigh at the door of treasure.

"Zhou Nongying, a dignified Jin Dan, was actually eliminated by a Qi Condensation junior. Humph!" Zheng Danlian felt more and more irritable in his heart.

Zheng Shuanggou hurried on his way; Zhou Nongying's defeat made him want to reunite with his companions even more.

Meng family Jin Dan cultivator Jia was overjoyed: "Good! Lord Meng Kui has eyes like torches; no wonder he has always supported Meng Chong."

"Is this the power of someone who possesses Immortal Talent?"

"Eliminating a Jin Dan cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage; if I had such a battle record, I could brag about it for a lifetime."

After the joy, the Meng family cultivator Jia also developed many worries.

Although Meng Chong eliminated Zhou Nongying, he must have also paid a considerable price.

After such a fierce battle, Meng Chong's state must have declined, and he was relatively weak.

"At such a critical moment, I cannot let Young Master Meng Chong run into other cultivators! I must find him quickly and protect him."

The Meng family cultivator was very impatient.

Ning Jiufan was alone, shuttling through the secret pavilion.

He opened the door and walked into the next secret pavilion.

Sun Lingtong slowly emerged.

He, like Ning Jiufan, was looking for Unlike Ning Zhuo to reunite.

"Must find Little Zhuo as soon as possible!"

"Without me covering for him, it's hard for him to make a move. If a battle really happens, that would be terrible."

This was because Sun Lingtong was using the name "Unlike Ning Zhuo," while Unlike Ning Zhuo corresponded to "Entry Standard." If a battle produced a result, no matter if Unlike Ning Zhuo won or lost, there would be an announcement, letting everyone know in an instant.

This constituted a huge flaw!

Sun Lingtong tried his best to avoid this flaw.

Unlike Ning Zhuo pushed the door and stepped into the next secret pavilion.

His pupils shrank; he saw a messy battlefield in the secret pavilion, and then he saw a cultivator.

The cultivator's battle had already entered its final stages.

His opponent was only the last mechanism python left.

This python was coiled around the pedestal, guarding the treasure of this secret pavilion.

The movement of Unlike Ning Zhuo pushing the door and entering immediately attracted the side-glance of this cultivator.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart sank slightly, and after a light laugh, he took the initiative to greet him, being polite and courteous.

He had encountered the Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple.

Among so many people, Unlike Ning Zhuo happened to encounter the one he was least familiar with first.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's gaze then stopped on the pedestal.

His heart could not help but move.

Placed on the pedestal was a large pile of spirit stones. The quality of the spirit stones was quite good; most were mid-grade spirit stones, and a small portion were high-grade.

He subconsciously calculated that if he could have this pile of spirit stones, it would be extremely helpful for controlling various mechanism creations and restoring his own magic power!

Using spirit stones to drive various mechanisms was the right path.

Like before, Unlike Ning Zhuo used essence blood to demon-dye mechanisms, and controlling them consumed his own blood energy.

Using spirit stones would best reduce his consumption.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan cultivator narrowed his eyes and stopped for the time being, not dealing with the last mechanism python anymore.

He held a mechanism short spear in each hand, and at this moment, he turned slowly; in the process of facing Unlike Ning Zhuo, he combined the short spears together to form a mechanism long spear that was taller than him.

He propped the long spear on the ground and raised his head slightly: "Junior Unlike Ning Zhuo, I am just lacking an artifact to load these spoils."

"Leave this floating wooden box, and you can go."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned, then laughed lightly: "Is it enough to just want this box?"

"Senior, why don't you take a look at these."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted the Small Flying Box lightly.

From the Small Flying Box, he took out kung fu puppets and spell puppets one by one.

A few breaths later, more than a dozen mechanism creations were released, surrounding Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Not only puppets, but also some beast-type mechanisms. Unlike Ning Zhuo's two hands were holding a mechanism shield and a mechanism crossbow.

This was too exaggerated!

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple looked at the huge lineup opposite him, and then looked at the mechanism long spear in his hand; the latter was his only weapon.

Bang.

With a muffled sound, Unlike Ning Zhuo took out another mechanism cannon.

The corner of the Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple's eye began to twitch.

"Are these all mechanism props you obtained? Or did you bring them out from the trial room?" The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple could not help but ask, his voice becoming hoarse.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and spread his hands: "Senior, is that important?"

"You have fought for so long and must be tired."

"This junior won't see you off; you can pick any door here, please leave."

As he spoke, Unlike Ning Zhuo gestured with his hand.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple's complexion changed between green and white, staring fixedly at Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's smile converged a little, and his gaze became cold: "Please."

"Good, good, good!" The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple nodded repeatedly, his anger hard to calm, but in the end, he held the mechanism long spear and took the initiative to leave the Turning Secret Pavilion.

When leaving, he slammed the door shut.

Unlike Ning Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to appear strong.

On one hand, it was for the spirit stones, and on the other hand, it was to avoid battle.

He was very inconvenient now; only after reuniting with Sun Lingtong would he avoid the flaw of the palace examination announcement.

"Still need to try my best to collect props and constantly accumulate my own advantages."

"Letting others go fight first and consume each other is the most favorable for me."

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand, and the mechanism creations were like a wave, directly submerging the Qi Condensation-stage mechanism python.

He put away the spirit stones and controlled the mechanism puppets to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Soon, he had packed enough and decisively transferred.

Stifled.

Too stifled!

At this moment, the Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan true disciple's heart was filled with anger.

How long had it been since he had suffered such anger? Especially since the other party was only a Qi Condensation-stage cultivator.

"Even if I am suppressed to the Qi Condensation stage, in a one-on-one fight, I could press Unlike Ning Zhuo to death."

"The key is that the Three Sects' superiors' favoritism and care for the trial disciples are too heavy."

"This is very unfair!"

Thinking that he only had one mechanism long spear, while Unlike Ning Zhuo had a team of mechanism creations in his hand, the Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan cultivator could not hold it together.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan was confident: if he were outside the Turning Secret Pavilion, to deal with Unlike Ning Zhuo, he would only need to use a finger to make the latter cry for his father and mother.

But in this Turning Secret Pavilion, his strength was greatly suppressed.

He secretly noted this grudge, vowing that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely get his own back.

Just as he was thinking, the door on the left was pushed open, and two cultivators walked in.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan cultivator immediately became alert, his gaze shooting over, and he saw Shu Zhongjun and Song Fuli.

"It's you two?" The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan relaxed slightly.

When Shu Zhongjun and Song Fuli saw him, they were overjoyed: "We were just looking for you."

Shu Zhongjun immediately began to analyze the situation and proposed the intention of joining forces.

"You want to join forces with me? I agree!" The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan heard the tone and immediately nodded in agreement.

Such a straightforward attitude made Shu Zhongjun feel very favorable, feeling that the other party was a sensible person.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan continued: "Listen to me, I just met Unlike Ning Zhuo and didn't make a move on him."

"Now, the three of us join forces to eliminate this kid first!"

"The power of Zhu Xuanji's side is too strong; if we let Unlike Ning Zhuo reunite with others, we will have no chance to make a move."

Shu Zhongjun immediately expressed agreement and turned to ask for Song Fuli's opinion.

Song Fuli shrugged, indicating that he wanted to settle scores with the Unoccupied Sect more. However, since Unlike Ning Zhuo was discovered first, it could only be his bad luck, and it wouldn't be bad to kill him first.

Thus, after the three Jin Dan cultivators concluded a simple alliance, they acted together.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion Jin Dan cultivator took the lead and hurried back along the original path.

At the peak of Mount Huoshi, deep in the clouds and mist.

Meng Kui overlooked the entire crater.

Red Flame demon beasts emerged one after another, surrounding the Lava Immortal Palace, this isolated island, and they swore not to stop until they demolished it.

Meng Kui was calm.

Meng Hu was eager to try and could not help but ask: "Brother, where is the Nascent Soul of the Grand Clarity Palace hiding? Have you detected it? Why don't I just go to the door and fight him."

"No." Meng Kui shook his head, "We must wait for the other party to appear and make a move first, so that we can grab the handle and let you appear publicly."

"Otherwise, if you are the first to pop up and take the initiative to attack, you will inevitably be fiercely impeached by court ministers, accusing you of disregarding rules, being lawless, and moving at will."

Cultivators gather great power in themselves.

A Nascent Soul level like Meng Hu can attack cities and seize land alone, one person like ten thousand troops.

Any country that dispatches troops will be very cautious. In a cultivation country, dispatching Nascent Soul level and above cultivators is also this attitude.

Meng Hu suddenly running from one place to another without any reporting action is like an army suddenly abandoning its post and running to another place.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly extremely unsettling to those in power, and it is bound to fully suppress and resist the occurrence of such things.

Especially in the Nandou Kingdom, where the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, Meng Kui knew very well: if Meng Hu acted so brazenly, it would inevitably provoke the fragile and sensitive nerves of the royal family, likely producing overreactions and suppressing the Meng family heavily.

The excuse of demon beasts attacking the city is also not applicable to Meng Hu.

Because according to the normal process, Meng Kui, knowing he couldn't handle it, should report upward, and the monarch and court would discuss it and then dispatch reinforcements.

This kind of private action of pulling his own Nascent Soul over is a great violation of court rules and is very undesirable. Once done, it will inevitably give people something to talk about and be concentratedly attacked by countless people.

The only excuse that can be brought out is that Meng Hu accidentally discovered that a Grand Clarity Palace Nascent Soul cultivator was passing through, sneaking around. Meng Hu was worried that the other party had some conspiracy and followed him all the way, finally arriving at Huoshi Immortal City.
