Chapter 66: All Parties

Fei Si's expression sank.

The Fire Persimmon City Lord's gaze couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Ever since the Molten Xian Gong appeared, he had blocked the news with all his might, and he had also anticipated that it would attract the high command of the dynasty in the future.

But he hadn't expected it to come so quickly!

Various thoughts surged in Fei Si's heart: "Could someone have leaked the news on purpose?"

"The Zheng and Zhou families are unlikely; they want to reap benefits from the Molten Xian Gong even more."

"Could it be the Ning family, seeing their progress fall to the last place, simply leading outsiders in?"

Seeing the two men silent, Zhu Zhu Xuanji chuckled: "Meng Kui, your Meng family controls Purple Smoke City, Green Frost City, and Earth Fetus City; do you want to control Fire Persimmon Xiancheng as well?"

"To tell you the truth, five hundred years ago, the royal family already knew that the Molten Xian Gong was buried in this mountain. Why do you think the royal family didn't open the Xian Gong?"

Fei Si was stunned.

City Lord Meng Kui also had a trace of movement.

As a Divine Catcher and also an envoy of the royal family, Zhu Zhu Xuanji would not speak nonsense.

But if this were the case, everything Meng Kui had done and plotted until now might just be a joke!

Zhu Zhu Xuanji sighed: "The Molten Xian Gong shouldn't have appeared at this time; there must be something fishy! That's why I was dispatched by the royal family and the Divine Catcher Division to investigate."

"This is the Dharma Decree of the Immortal Dynasty."

Meng Kui could no longer sit still; he stood up, bowed, and received the Dharma Decree with both hands.

After reading it once and confirming it was correct, Meng Kui asked: "What are the envoy's instructions?"

Zhu Zhu Xuanji said: "I want to find out the true reason for the Xian Gong's appearance. Let Chi Dun cooperate with me in investigating and visiting for now."

"When you need to cooperate with anything in the future, I will tell you."

Facing Meng Kui, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, he was not polite at all.

Meng Kui immediately summoned Chi Dun and introduced him to Zhu Zhu Xuanji.

A moment later, Fei Si watched the backs of Chi and Zhu as they left and said worriedly: "My lord, I didn't expect the royal family to send someone so quickly!"

"The royal family seems to know the secrets of the Molten Xian Gong."

The City Lord pondered: "In the past, the Three Sects' Superior had a love affair with the Retired Emperor of Southern Bean, and their relationship was once very close."

"It is not strange that the royal family knows some secrets."

"I see that Zhu Zhu Xuanji has come to investigate this time and has no intention of intervening in the struggle for the Molten Xian Gong."

"Everything remains the same."

Fei Si respectfully accepted the order: "Yes."

After he stepped down, the clouds and mist covered Meng Kui again.

The expression of this Fire Persimmon City Lord finally could no longer be hidden, becoming very gloomy.

Although the Meng family was strong, it was only a large clan of the Southern Bean Kingdom.

Although Meng Kui was strong, as a Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in a mountain city, he was essentially just a city guardian.

Meng Kui looked around and felt for the first time that the layers of clouds and mist around him were somewhat oppressive.

The Zhou family head and the Zheng family head met in secret.

"Brother Zhou, not long ago, your family was attacked again, which made our clan nervous and on guard for many days!" the Zheng family head said deliberately.

The Zhou family head smiled slightly.

Previously, Zhou Zhu had entered and exited the Molten Xian Gong, and Zhou Zeshen had made a blunder. Since there had already been movement, the Zhou family elders had discussed it and simply decided to go with the flow, staging a play of enemy attacks to deceive the other families and win more time for themselves.

Looking at it now, although some time had been won, it was of little use.

Because the barriers of the Molten Xian Gong were too difficult!

After fully analyzing the information brought back by Zhou Zhu and Zheng Jian, the Zhou and Zheng families discovered that only by working together would they have a chance to pass the barriers.

Therefore, they even took the initiative to find the City Lord's Mansion, wanting to cooperate, but were rejected by Meng Chong.

Once rejected, the two families couldn't sit still.

What did this mean?

It meant that Meng Chong of the City Lord's Mansion didn't need cooperation and could pass the barriers on his own!

As expected of super-grade talent.

After the high command of the two clans sighed like this, they immediately decided to join forces to resist the City Lord's Mansion.

Otherwise, if things continued like this, they would have no hope of winning.

The Zhou family head sighed: "The Meng family is a large clan of our country, controlling three immortal cities."

"Our two families cannot compare to the Meng family, residing in only one city."

"Let's not talk about the inheritance of the Molten Xian Gong. Once Meng Chong becomes the master of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, and the Molten Xian Gong suppresses Fire Persimmon, the Meng family will have the most sufficient reason to insert more power."

"At that time, how should you and I conduct ourselves?"

"Recently, every time I think of this, I am deeply worried."

These words immediately resonated with the Zheng family head: "Only by uniting will we have a chance of winning."

The Zhou family head added: "In my opinion, it's better to pull the Ning family in as well. Compared to the City Lord's Mansion, only by joining forces can the three families have a greater hope."

The Zheng family head thought for a while and nodded heavily: "Very well, let's pull the Ning family in!"

"Families are like iron, City Lords are like flowing water."

"Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is already crowded with three families; we cannot let the Meng family intervene and move in!"

The Ning family head paced in his courtyard, restless.

A servant came to report good news, and he then clapped his hands and laughed: "It is done!"

The Ning family head felt deeply that his family was lagging behind, so he took the initiative to bribe the Zhou family head this time to reach an alliance.

The envoy sent by the Zhou family head brought not only good news but also good intelligence.

The Ning family head was shocked: "So the test method for Qi Refining cultivators has undergone such a drastic change! Quick, quick, go check, what cultivation level is Ning Ning Xiaohui at now?"

The servant reported back quickly: "Two layers."

"What about the others?"

The servant replied: "A few have reached the first layer, most have just finished dispersing their cultivation."

"Slow, too slow!" The Ning family head was so anxious he almost stomped his feet, hurriedly ordering to increase the reward amount and encourage those undergoing modified cultivation to practice hard day and night.

The Ning family head felt deeply worried: "Our Ning family migrated from outside and belongs to the outsiders."

"Now, we need to seize this opportunity of the Molten Xian Gong, reach cooperation with the other two families, and close the relationship."

"City Lords will step down, but the Zhou and Zheng families remain."

"Our Ning family has always been at the bottom of the three major families; only by taking it step by step will we have a chance to grow."

Monkey Head Gang.

The current leader, Yuan Er, summoned all the elders.

His expression was stern, and his tone was heavy: "Everyone has seen the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkeys."

"Their threat is too great!"

"Therefore, for this Fire Persimmon Festival, even if there is a threat to life from the Demon cultivator, we must go all out and show our value to the high command of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng!"

"Otherwise, this business of picking fire persimmons will be snatched away by these fake monkeys."

The elders knew the situation was critical and immediately echoed, agreeing with Yuan Er's decision.

Seeing that a consensus had been reached, Yuan Er revealed a trace of joy: "The pillar business must not be let go. If we hold on, our Monkey Head Gang will have the possibility of developing."

"If we get over this hurdle, in the future, when the Monkey Head Gang develops and grows, it might not be impossible to become the fifth force in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng."

Before he finished speaking, a gang member suddenly rushed in, looking panicked: "Leader, elders, it's bad."

"Our monkeys have been poisoned, many have died!"

The high command of the gang stood up together, shocked and angry.

"Who is making things difficult for us?"

"Damn them!" ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
