Chapter 389: Ning Zhuo vs Hua Guzi

Ning Zhuo continued: "The reason I don't accept these Enlightenment Diagrams is that they do not come from the help of a friend."

"It is an apology, and it is indeed helpful to me!"

"But as far as my character is concerned, I don't look down on these things."

"Hehehe, think of me, Ning Zhuo, with such talent, such origin, such talent; given time, wanting to obtain the Enlightenment Diagrams of the world, what is the difficulty?"

"The senior brothers of your sect protect the junior sister and have misunderstandings about me, which I fully understand."

"Good, understanding does not mean forgiveness."

"I will use my own way to respond to this matter!"

Xiao Ju, upon hearing Ning Zhuo's words, became anxious and persuaded him a few words, wanting to turn hostility into friendship.

Ning Zhuo smiled and took out a lot of evidence from his storage belt.

"These are all what I have investigated recently, evidence of Miss Lin's senior brothers inciting and secretly spreading rumors."

"Miss Xiao Ju, please hand these over to Daoist Linghu. If Miss Lin knows the truth, please let her see them too."

Xiao Ju's face turned pale; it turned out that this matter had already been investigated by Ning Zhuo.

"After all, he is a descendant of a family, cultivated since childhood. In this regard, Ning Zhuo and Miss are so similar!"

Xiao Ju was just a maid and couldn't make any decisions. In the end, under Ning Zhuo's personal escort, she left Small Dispute Peak with the Enlightenment Diagrams that couldn't be lent out, as well as the new evidence of crime.

"Interesting, really interesting." Ning Zhuo paced in the cave dwelling, the more he pondered, the more interesting he felt.

In the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon wrapped around his waist, Sun Lingtong transmitted his voice: "Little Zhuo, this is evidence I collected with a lot of energy, why did you just send it out like this? Without even a bit of extortion?"

"And those Fire and Metal element Enlightenment Diagrams, why didn't you accept them? They were clearly fat meat delivered to our mouths."

"You don't want to contemplate, but I do!"

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly, but didn't answer, instead asking back: "Boss, what do you think of this person Linghu Jiu?"

Sun Lingtong answered without thinking: "According to the information, this person is the senior brother of the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect, possessing talent, remarkable talent, very fond of alcohol, and has a great reputation in the sect! But he is unrestrained, often makes mistakes, and is imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave by Lin Bufan."

Ning Zhuo: "Then Boss, have you studied what mistakes Linghu Jiu often makes, for which Lin Bufan always punishes him?"

Sun Lingtong thought for a moment: "Hey, they are all trivial matters. But since he is the senior brother, this status is to set an example. Therefore, it is reasonable for Lin Bufan to punish him."

Ning Zhuo 'um'ed: "Linghu Jiu is often grounded and punished, but his reputation in the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect has always been maintained at the top."

"Lin Shanshan has encountered difficulties several times, including this time, and subconsciously went to ask Linghu Jiu, this senior brother, for help."

"I think, not just Lin Shanshan, but even Lao De and others look at Linghu Jiu this way."

"I originally thought from the information that Linghu Jiu was a dissolute prodigal. But now it seems, he is not simple!"

"Think about it, we just got the evidence not long ago, and he did this."

"If he knows that we have the evidence, it shows that he has a clear grasp of the situation outside the cave."

"If he didn't know, and just learned about it from Xiao Ju, and then deduced everything and made a compensatory move, it shows that his understanding and grasp of human hearts and sect affairs are also extremely remarkable."

Speaking of this, Ning Zhuo began to answer Sun Lingtong's previous words: "Regardless of whether I accept these Enlightenment Diagrams or not, the power of the evidence in our hands has already dropped to the bottom. This card is equivalent to half-scrapped; if you don't take it out now, you won't be able to take it out in the future."

"Take it out now, maybe it can be used again in the future!"

Sun Lingtong heard the explanation, and his heart suddenly realized: "I understand! You and that Linghu Jiu, with the help of this matter, had a confrontation!"

"That's right." Ning Zhuo nodded, "It's a pity. If it was back then at the back mountain of Great Dispute Peak, I could still rely on ignorance to 'mistakenly enter' the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and meet Linghu Jiu first."

"It's a pity that at that time, our goal was Lin Shanshan, and we didn't think about causing extra trouble."

"Under the current circumstances, I already know the situation. If I were to trespass into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, it would be disrespectful to the entire Ten Thousand Medicines Sect."

"I really want to meet Linghu Jiu once."

Just as Linghu Jiu had long wanted to see Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo now also had a strong interest in Linghu Jiu.

Sun Lingtong reminded: "Little Zhuo, better think about the present."

"Without Metal and Fire element spells, how are you going to deal with Hua Guzi this time?"

Ning Zhuo smiled: "Boss, don't worry, I have my own measure!"

Ning Zhuo refused the Enlightenment Diagrams and didn't accept this apology, which made Linghu Jiu quite surprised.

Lin Shanshan, upon hearing this, was not so worried anymore, which was unexpected to Xiao Ju.

Lin Shanshan explained: "I know Young Master Ning Zhuo's character. Since he refused, he must have his own grasp. I am now looking forward to him defeating Hua Guzi!"

Because this battle was still a private duel, not a Small Dispute Day.

Many cultivators were looking forward to this battle.

The battle happened as scheduled.

Small Dispute Peak, martial arts arena!

Hua Guzi was petite and exquisite, only four and a half feet tall. She had short hair, the top of her hair was as black as ink, and the lower half was white with purple.

Her face was round, with a bit of baby fat, and her skin was white and delicate.

Her eyes flashed with purple light, revealing a bit of demonic nature; it is rumored that she is a half-human, half-demon hybrid.

Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were pink and tender.

She wore a red and white skirt, barefoot, and moved by floating, rarely landing on the ground.

"Ning Zhuo, don't think that just because you look good, you can be so arrogant!" Hua Guzi opened her mouth and scolded Ning Zhuo, "Today, let me teach you a lesson."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "Fellow Daoist Hua, you also look very good, even more unrestrained and arrogant than me. So, according to your words just now, the person who should be taught a lesson is you, right?"

Hua Guzi stood still, not moving.

"Eh?" After she reacted, she blinked repeatedly, "You person, you speak quite nicely."

"Hehehe, you are so good at coaxing girls, I am even more excited!"

"I want to tear your mouth apart!!!"

The next moment, she actually cast a spell directly.

Tree World Descent!

A Wood-element spell with huge power was cast in an instant. Towering trees rose from the ground, surrounding Ning Zhuo tightly.

Immediately after, countless vines and tree roots, like ten thousand snakes and pythons, entangled Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was about to cast a defensive spell when his movements paused.

"Fake!"

"This should be fake!"

Ning Zhuo suddenly realized this and gritted his teeth, choosing not to defend.

The two were dueling, and they had invited a referee.

If the referee didn't announce the start of the battle, whoever moved first would break the rules and become the loser.

Sure enough, after these tree vines entangled Ning Zhuo, they all turned into transparent phantoms and dissipated directly.

The next moment, the dense forest intertwined by towering trees also dissipated before Ning Zhuo's eyes.

His vision returned to clarity.

Hua Guzi was still floating in her original place, not moving at all.

"Gugugu..." She covered her mouth and laughed, her laughter like a pigeon, quite strange.

And the spectators around, seeing Ning Zhuo nervously set up a defensive stance, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Illusion, Little Zhuo, you fell for her illusion." In the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, Sun Lingtong laughed happily.

Ning Zhuo didn't have his spiritual eyes and fell for the trick all at once.

Seeing Ning Zhuo suffer, Sun Lingtong was quite gloating, as if returning to the time when he taught Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo showed a solemn expression: "Fellow Daoist Hua's illusion is much more difficult than I imagined. I have learned!"

Hua Guzi stared at Ning Zhuo's eyes, revealing a sick, cruel smile: "Don't worry, little young master, this little lesson is not enough. Next, I will let you taste the taste of my flowers."

The battle began!

Wood-element—Root Vine Entanglement!

Wood-element—Fragrant Flower Lost Track!

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to attack in the first instance.

Vines drilled out from under the floor tiles, like crocodiles lurking underground, suddenly poking out of the water and opening their mouths to bite.

But they "bit" into nothing!

Hua Guzi's figure dissipated in place, leaving only a few petals and fragrance.

"Can't see her!" Ning Zhuo's investigation was fruitless, and he fell into a very passive situation.

He immediately released the mechanism floating hands, constantly casting various Five Elements spells, bombarding in all directions, in the sky and on the ground, constantly.

Once Hua Guzi approached and was hit by the attack, it was very likely that her figure would be exposed.

Ning Zhuo used offense instead of defense, seemingly aggressive, but actually already at a disadvantage.

He naturally knew the true situation, so while controlling the mechanism floating hands, he was also struggling to mobilize, using one mind for multiple purposes, brewing the Tree World Descent spell!

To Ning Zhuo's surprise, while he was brewing the spell, Hua Guzi never appeared.

Wood-element—Tree World Descent!

The next moment, the scene Ning Zhuo saw when he fell for the illusion reappeared.

A large number of trees rose from the ground, forming a forest covering the entire battlefield.

Countless vines and tree roots swayed and entangled wildly, attempting to "sweep" Hua Guzi out.

Hua Guzi took the initiative to appear.

She floated high, higher than the canopy.

As soon as she appeared, there were countless tree vines, like a group of snakes, rushing towards Hua Guzi together, with amazing momentum.

Hua Guzi was not flustered, showing a proud smile: "Just waiting for this move of yours!"

Wood-element—Life-Taking Flower Bloom!

The next moment, countless flower buds grew on the vines and tree roots.

These flower buds grew larger in the wind after one breath. After the second breath, they bloomed one after another.

The vines and tree roots were deprived of magic power and withered instantly.

And the flowers separated from the tree vines, dancing all over the sky.

Wood-element—Withered Flower Rain.

Like a rainstorm pouring down, covering the entire forest.

The towering ancient trees withered and collapsed one after another.

More and more flower buds were produced on these big trees, then deprived them of magic power and vitality, and bloomed one after another.

Hua Guzi laughed proudly: "Playing Wood-element with me, I am your ancestor!"
