Chapter 66: Various Parties

Fei Si's face sank.

The Fire Persimmon City Lord's gaze also couldn't help but condense.

Ever since the Lava Immortal Palace appeared, he had been blocking the news with all his might, and he had also expected that it would attract the high-level officials of the dynasty in the future.

But he didn't expect it to come so quickly!

Various distracting thoughts arose in Fei Si's heart: "Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the news?"

"The Zheng family and the Zhou family are unlikely; they want to reap benefits from the Lava Immortal Palace even more."

"Could it be the Ning family, seeing that their progress has fallen to the last place, simply brought in outsiders?"

Seeing the two silent, Zhu Xuanji chuckled: "Meng Kui, your Meng family controls Ziyan City, Qingshan City, and Tutai City; do you still want to control Fire Persimmon Immortal City?"

"Let me tell you the truth. Five hundred years ago, the royal family already knew that the Lava Immortal Palace was buried in this mountain. Why do you think the royal family didn't open the Immortal Palace?"

Fei Si was stunned.

City Lord Meng Kui was also slightly moved.

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

But if this was the case, all the plans and schemes Meng Kui had made so far might be a joke!

Zhu Xuanji sighed: "The Lava Immortal Palace should not have appeared at this time; there must be something fishy about it! That's why I was sent 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 decree with both hands.

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

Zhu Xuanji said: "I want to find out the real reason for the appearance of the Immortal Palace, and let Chi Dun cooperate with me in the investigation and visits first."

"I will tell you what you need to cooperate with in the future."

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

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

A moment later, Fei Si looked at 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 Lava Immortal Palace."

The City Lord pondered and said: "In the past, the three sect masters and the Retired Emperor of Nandou had a love affair, and their relationship was once very close."

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

"I think Zhu Xuanji came here to investigate this time and has no intention of intervening in the struggle for the Lava Immortal Palace."

"Everything remains the same."

Fei Si respectfully took the order: "Yes."

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

The Fire Persimmon City Lord's face finally no longer hid, becoming very gloomy.

Although the Meng family was strong, it was only a large clan in the Nandou Kingdom.

Although he, Meng Kui, was strong as a Nascent Soul and sat in the mountain city, he was essentially just a city guardian.

Meng Kui looked around and felt for the first time that the surrounding clouds and mist were a bit oppressive.

The Zhou family head and the Zheng family head met secretly.

"Brother Zhou, not long ago, your family was attacked again, which made our family 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 Lava Immortal Palace, and Zhou Zeshen had made a blunder. Since there was already movement, the elders of the Zhou family discussed it and simply acted according to the situation, performing a play of enemy attack, attempting to deceive other families and win more time for themselves.

Now it seems that although some time has been won, it is of little use.

Because the trials of the Lava Immortal Palace are too difficult!

After the Zhou and Zheng families fully analyzed the information brought back by Zhou Zhu and Zheng Jian, they found that only by working together would there be a possibility of passing the trial.

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

Once rejected, the two families could not sit still.

What does this mean?

This means that Meng Chong of the City Lord's Mansion does not need to cooperate and can succeed in the trial by himself!

As expected of super-grade natural talent.

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

Otherwise, if things go on like this, they will have no hope of winning.

The Zhou family head sighed: "The Meng family is a large clan in our country, and they fully control three immortal cities."

"Our two families cannot compare to the Meng family and only reside in one city."

"Let's not talk about the inheritance of the Lava Immortal Palace. Once Meng Chong becomes the master of Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace suppresses Fire Persimmon again, the Meng family will have the most sufficient reason to insert more power."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Fire Persimmon Immortal City is already crowded with three families, so we cannot let the Meng family intervene!"

The Ning family head paced in his courtyard, restless.

Only when the attendant came to report the good news did he clap his hands and laugh: "It's done!"

The Ning family head felt 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 information.

The Ning family head was shocked: "So the trial method for Qi Refining cultivators has changed so drastically! Quick, go check, what level of cultivation does Ning Xiaohui have now?"

The attendant reported back quickly: "Two levels."

"What about the others?"

The attendant replied: "A few have reached the first level, and most have just finished dispersing their cultivation."

"Slow, too slow!" The Ning family head was so anxious that he almost stomped his feet, and hurriedly ordered to increase the reward amount and encourage the cultivation-changing personnel to practice hard day and night.

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

"Now that we have this opportunity with the Lava Immortal Palace, we need to grasp it, reach cooperation with the other two families, and close the relationship."

"The City Lord will step down, but the Zhou family and the Zheng family will remain."

"Our Ning family has always been at the bottom of the three major families, and only by taking it step by step can we have the opportunity to grow."

Monkey Head Gang.

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

He looked stern and his tone was heavy: "Everyone has seen the mechanical Fire-Exploding Monkey."

"Its threat is too great!"

"Therefore, in this Fire Persimmon Festival, even if there is a demonic cultivator threatening our lives, we must go all out to show our value to the high-level officials of Fire Persimmon Immortal City!"

"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 showed a slight look of joy: "The pillar business must not be let go. Only by holding on can our Monkey Head Gang have the possibility of developing."

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

Before the words fell, a gang member suddenly broke in, looking panicked: "Leader, elders, it's not good."

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

The gang's high-level officials stood up together, shocked and angry.

"Who is making things difficult for us?"

"Damn them!"
