Chapter 70: Too Many Clues

So, let Ning Zhuo recruit Yuan Dasheng?

The success rate is almost zero.

The four major forces can suppress people with power, but Ning Zhuo cannot. He is only at the third layer of Qi Refining and is a marginal figure in the Ning family.

The Monkey Head Gang itself has nearly ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus a strong existence like Yuan Dasheng; why would they be recruited by Ning Zhuo?

Cooperation?

The same logic, Ning Zhuo, such a small body, what qualifications does he have to talk about cooperation with the Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Dasheng?

Expose the Buddha Heart Demon Seal and show his true advantages?

In Ning Zhuo's view: This is absolutely a stupid move!

Once he does this, he is betting his life on the kindness of others.

Are the Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Dasheng kind?

A gang that puts interests first, an ape that started from scratch and fought its way out, kind?

Various information is in Ning Zhuo's hands.

It can be said that the experiences of Yuan Yi and Yuan Dasheng are very inspiring, but they must not be judged as kind! In fact, the opposite is true.

The situation is very dangerous for Ning Zhuo.

He knows very well that he is like walking on the edge of a cliff; the next step will be to step into the air and fall into the abyss of failure.

"Must secretly eliminate Yuan Dasheng!"

This is the only solution Ning Zhuo can think of.

But how to kill?

Zheng family.

Two Golden Core cultivators of the Zheng family appeared at the same time to entertain Zhu Xuanji.

Chi Dun accompanied them.

Zhu Xuanji was studying the medicine bottle in his hand.

The medicine bottle was almost completely transparent, and one could see a ball of black smoke inside from the outside.

Zhu Xuanji's eyes flashed with golden light for a while: "This is made of fire poison."

Zheng Shuangou fought with the shadow demonic cultivator, and although the latter escaped, he also collected some things. For example, this peculiar black smoke could seal spiritual sense during battle, causing huge trouble for Zheng Shuangou.

Zheng Shuangou absorbed some and stored it, just to study and crack it, preparing for victory in the next battle.

With Zhu Xuanji's arrival, Zheng Shuangou naturally didn't dare to hide it and handed it over directly.

Zheng Shuangou said: "To be precise, it is Heart-Burning Fire Poison."

"Five years ago, a Golden Core cultivator of the Holy Ape Sect came to Fire Persimmon Immortal City. During his stay, he went into qi deviation, and his soul and his spiritual pet, the Angry Fire Heart Ape, merged with each other."

"We joined forces and killed him in the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave. But before the Angry Fire Heart Ape died, it still caused a huge impact on Fire Persimmon Mountain."

"Many, many monsters, spiritual plants, as well as geothermal heat, earth flames, fire poison, evil spirits, etc., were all stained with anger and produced varying degrees of mutation."

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly and put down the medicine bottle.

He had already observed many items since coming here and hadn't obtained any good clues.

"It seems that I must enter Fire Persimmon Mountain." Zhu Xuanji said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng Shuangou, please take me to the previous battle location."

Zheng Shuangou looked troubled: "This... Divine Catcher Zhu, is this necessary?"

"The Lava Immortal Palace has already appeared, and the former Red Flame Demon Melting Cave has been destroyed. Although it will regenerate, these new tunnels and caves are very unstable."

"Especially since the Lava Immortal Palace riots from time to time, every riot will trigger mountain tremors, rolling magma, and destroy most of the new tunnels."

"If we want to go over, we have to dig holes ourselves and face infinite geothermal heat, earth flames, and magma. What's more troublesome is that some native monsters won't let us go."

Zhu Xuanji: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to go and see. Fellow Daoist Chi Dun will also come to help me."

Chi Dun frowned, but nodded.

Zheng Shuangou sighed. He was a party involved and couldn't shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet: "Okay, then I will accompany Divine Catcher Zhu for a trip."

Ning Zhuo came to see Sun Lingtong.

"This is the latest information about the Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Dasheng that you wanted to buy before." Sun Lingtong threw a jade slip to Ning Zhuo, who was disguised as a young guest.

Ning Zhuo's voice was hoarse: "Thank you."

"I still want monkeys. On one hand, purchase more wild monkeys! On the other hand, continue to hire people; the more monkey pets of the Monkey Head Gang are killed, the more bounty I will give." Ning Zhuo threw out a storage bag, which was full of spirit stones.

"Understood." Sun Lingtong giggled, "Brother, well done!"

"Now, the entire Monkey Head Gang is already in a state of panic."

"The business of picking fire persimmons is extremely profitable. Replacing the Monkey Head Gang, you can make a lot of money every year."

"Striking first to gain the upper hand, this style of doing things is too much to my taste. You are really suitable to join our Unoccupied Sect."

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly, without any joy: "Yuan Dasheng is still there, so the Monkey Head Gang cannot be underestimated."

A ruthless look flashed on Sun Lingtong's chubby child-like face. He stretched out his palm and made a cutting motion: "If you ask me, why don't we hire some more demonic cultivators, take action together, find an opportunity when Yuan Dasheng is alone, and do it!"

"This matter needs long-term discussion!" Ning Zhuo shook his head immediately, "Yuan Dasheng has fought many battles and is not simple. Various clues show that it hides a powerful trump card."

Sun Lingtong raised his neck and said carelessly: "If you don't try, how do you know? We can hire some demonic cultivators as cannon fodder. Even if it doesn't work, we can probe out what trump card it has."

Ning Zhuo frowned, Sun Lingtong's attitude made him feel uneasy: "If it were so easy to force out its trump card, why hasn't anyone succeeded all these years?"

"Let me tell you a definite piece of information."

"On the surface, Yuan Dasheng has no cultivation, but in fact, it practices demonic arts, and its cultivation is definitely not low!"

Sun Lingtong was moved immediately.

Yuan Dasheng itself is a Fire-Melting Demon Ape, and its close-combat martial arts ability is well known. Once it reveals its demonic arts, its combat power will probably soar more than ten times.

"The Monkey Head Gang also obtained Fei Si's permission to participate in the Fire Persimmon Festival. If we make too big a move, I'm afraid the City Lord's Mansion will be the first to clean us up." Ning Zhuo said again.

Sun Lingtong smacked his lips and waved his hand: "Then forget it."

Ning Zhuo said: "We won't deal with Yuan Dasheng, but we can assassinate Yuan Er. Before the assassination, send him a warning letter. The assassination must fail, it cannot succeed."

Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes: "Brother, what are you trying to do?"

Fire Persimmon Mountain.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on anymore!" Zheng Shuangou tried his best to maintain the temporary passage.

Chi Dun was bleeding profusely, silently resisting several violent monsters.

"Wait a little longer, it's almost there." Zhu Xuanji's eyes shone with golden light, and his finger techniques kept pinching.

Zheng Shuangou almost vomited blood after hearing this, because half a stick of incense ago, Zhu Xuanji said the same thing.

Chi Dun really spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing a flaw.

A Fire-Walking Snake saw this and immediately used its horns to ram.

This Fire-Walking Snake could be called a Fire Dragon, with horns on its head. Once Chi Dun was hit, he would definitely be seriously injured, or even endanger his life.

But the next moment, Zhu Xuanji really finished his work. He cast a talisman and took the two Golden Core cultivators, turning into a rainbow and fleeing.

Within a few breaths, the three of them escaped the volcano.

"Safe!" Zheng Shuangou spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

Chi Dun began to heal his wounds silently.

Zheng Shuangou looked at Zhu Xuanji: "Divine Catcher Zhu, any gains?"

Zhu Xuanji showed a smile: "Great gains. I used the 'Tracing the Source Technique' and saw that the one who bombed the Immortal Palace was a thousand-jin Fire Essence. The one who released the Fire Essence was a monkey mechanism."

"When I return to Fire Persimmon Immortal City and use the 'Tracing the Source Technique' again, I will definitely be able to find the relevant people and things. Capturing the culprit is not far away."

Zheng Shuangou and Chi Dun looked over in surprise.

Zhu Xuanji looked up at the sky: "Under my golden eyes, the real culprit will have nowhere to escape!"

A moment later.

Zhu Xuanji activated the 'Tracing the Source Technique', cast his natural talent 'Golden Eyes', and stared blankly at the mechanical monkeys glowing red, distributed all over the city in his special vision.

"Divine Catcher Zhu, why don't you go?" Zheng Shuangou was puzzled.

Zhu Xuanji: ...
