For example, stirring up public opinion, borrowing strength to hit strength, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, facing Ning Zhuo, Ban Ji found that the methods he was proud of in the past were not working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of background, Ning Zhuo seems to be no weaker than him. In terms of reputation, he practices demonic arts, which is even worse than Ning Zhuo. In terms of personal combat power, Ning Zhuo also has Jin Dan level mechanism creations, so the result is unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Ning Zhuo’s methods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just by releasing some rumors, he made the demonic cultivators I hired with heavy money withdraw voluntarily. This righteous path method is quite solid!\" Ban Ji felt tricky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite tricky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ban Ji practices demonic arts, he was born in the Ban family and is well-versed in the ways of the righteous path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he knows very well that Ning Zhuo’s righteous path heat is really too experienced, which immediately aroused his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to judge the heat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very simple—cost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo just spread some rumors and persuaded the demonic cultivators that Ban Ji had hired with great difficulty and heavy money to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cost is too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this round of confrontation, Ning Zhuo’s consumption was far less than Ban Ji’s side, and it directly weakened the power of Ban Ji’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rumors are directed at Wangyan Monk, Liu Qingyan, and Rust Disaster Craftsman, which shows that Pan Si Niangzi has fallen into Ning Zhuo’s hands, and he didn’t force a confession!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo is strong, showing talent and prospects not weaker than mine, which really made the remaining three take the initiative to withdraw. This shows that he has considerable grasp of people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, how should I deal with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji frowned, very distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he found that: in the matter of dealing with Ning Zhuo, his past advantages almost became disadvantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were normal times, Ning Zhuo, an outsider, would not be a problem. After all, a strong dragon is hard to suppress a local snake. But it happens to be the Flying Cloud Conference now, and Ning Zhuo, with the help of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, directly eliminated this layer of biggest advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this my human tribulation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difficulty is really a bit high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why hasn’t the family responded yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji had sent out the letter for help long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already reached the final stage of the Blind Fool’s Xingyun Trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My plan cannot be changed because of this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must exchange for the plaque as soon as possible, otherwise how can I be worthy of my surname?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the three demonic cultivators have taken the initiative to let go, and even returned the commission, Ban Ji can’t spare the energy and time to do anything to Ning Zhuo for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The offense and defense have changed. Now it is I who am worried about whether he will come to interfere with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji had a solemn face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this time, a subordinate came to visit outside the cave dwelling. He brought a letter from the Ban family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji opened the letter and was immediately overjoyed: \"Good! The family already knows my situation and has started to take action against Ning Zhuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the family taking action, I have no worries behind me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Stone Cave Dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San’s report had just ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought good news to Ning Zhuo. He had investigated that Wangyan Monk, Liu Qingyan, and Rust Disaster Craftsman visited Ban Ji together and left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the three spoke out together, stating that the various rumors directed at them were all untrue, they were not instructed by Ban Ji, and they never wanted to make things difficult for Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To show sincerity, Wangyan Monk even took the initiative to withdraw his challenge to Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded: \"You did well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he asked again: \"Have you found out Ban Ji’s movements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San immediately responded: \"Ban Ji is fully participating in the Blind Fool’s Xingyun Small Trial, this is the relevant information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Young Master wants to intercept Ban Ji, in my opinion, just go directly to the Blind Fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your current reputation, Young Master, even if you participate halfway, it is an honor for the Blind Fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sank his spiritual sense into the jade slip and quickly read the information: \"The Blind Fool held the Xingyun Small Trial just to preach for a certain mountain god. Those who pass the Xingyun Small Trial can be gifted with Blind Fool Divine Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not a mechanism heritage, why did Ban Ji participate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San: \"Subordinate will go and find out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo raised his hand slightly: \"You go with the old cook, bring some gifts, and visit the Blind Fool for me, stating my intention to participate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San immediately obeyed: \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Family Ancestral Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Supreme Clan Elders formed a circle, one of whom took out a treasure box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the heavy lid of the treasure box, a treasure material carefully stored for many years was immediately revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This treasure material is a black-gray crystal, translucent, with different sizes. The large ones can be compared to an adult’s fingernail, and the small ones are as tiny as sand grains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you observe carefully, you will find that these black-gray crystals emit a faint light at all times. The faint light is very weak, gray with purple, making people feel cold and uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Supreme Clan Elders cast their eyes, but after staring for a few breaths, their vision blurred and their minds were trance-like, so they hurriedly shifted their gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are all Nascent Soul level, and the Supreme Great Elder present is even a Soul Transformation level clone, all of whom are wary of this black-gray crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is because this treasure material is extraordinary; it is a part of the Decay Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast starry sky, there are various stars. There are lucky stars, and there are decay stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is stored in the treasure box is the star dust of the decay star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its effect is self-evident, which is to defeat luck and cut luck. If there is no correct storage method, it will bring bad luck to all living beings around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start.\" The clone of the Supreme Great Elder spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Supreme Clan Elder in the late Nascent Soul stage held his breath and pinched his fingers, his finger techniques flying like butterflies, urging an invisible force to roll up the decay star dust in the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The star dust circled in mid-air and was crushed into powder. Under the magic power of the Supreme Clan Elder, it merged into a gray-purple stream of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stream of light drilled into a copper ring of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain, turning into a gray-purple color, spreading wildly along the chain body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original color of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain was quickly polluted, like scrap iron rusted for a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pivot chain vibrated violently, making a difficult rotating sound. The copper ring expanded and contracted, as if it were struggling to digest the highly toxic substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more decaying silk floccules were produced in the chain gaps. These silk floccules were all gray, drifting to the jade bricks, causing the bricks to decay into powder. Drifting to the pillars, the pillars immediately showed the color of rotten wood, appearing with patches of velvet mold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo! Becoming the human tribulation of our clan’s King’s Mandate is your great misfortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First cut off your luck, let you know what it means to be possessed by a decay star!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Clan Elder who performed the spell shouted in a low voice, his face full of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Fate Pivot Chain operated faster and faster, and a gray-purple flame rose up, the upper part merged into the void and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Blue Stone Cave Dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was in the martial arts array, trying to drive the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mechanism vehicle takes the thousand-year Ground-Lying Green Python Bamboo as the main material, 99 bamboo tubes are interlocked, the joint gaps are embedded with dragon tendons, and it stretches and travels like a living python giant boa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The python head is cast in the shape of a green jade Chi-kiss, with dark pool soul crystals embedded in its eyes, spitting three feet of green light at night, illuminating ten miles of miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The python body’s green bamboo skin is engraved with wind and thunder rotation talismans. When galloping, the talisman text floats and rotates in the air, crushing the blocking vines. 72 mysterious empty wheels are embedded under the abdomen, neither gold nor jade, refined from spiritual bamboo root nodules, touching the ground without sound, and rotating like lotus flowers when encountering steep slopes, climbing rocks as if walking on flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-inch part of the green python opens wide, revealing a coiled dragon bamboo chair, made of thousand-year coiled dragon bamboo. The chair surface is engraved with a dust-avoiding wind-returning array, and fallen leaves are rolled away by the airflow when they are three inches close to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The python tail has a bamboo whistle structure. When traveling rapidly, it can absorb the strong wind, urge sound waves, assist the main body, and increase the movement speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sat on the bamboo chair, his spiritual power and spiritual sense following the bamboo chair, pouring into the entire Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft. The python body didn’t move but the intention turned first, as if pointing to an arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the speed increased, the strong wind that had just hit his face was weakened by the dust-avoiding wind-returning array behind the chair, making Ning Zhuo breathe as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how the body moved and turned, Ning Zhuo’s body sitting on the bamboo chair only swayed slightly at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Ning Zhuo manipulated it, the happier he felt in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been extremely passionate about mechanism arts since he was a child. Driving the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft was like getting a big new toy, which he couldn’t put down and played with happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ning Zhuo’s expression changed, his heart touched, and he sensed an invisible huge crisis, smashing directly at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously commanded the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft to leave the original place immediately, but still felt the attack coming, hitting himself directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was surprised and suspicious, and found that in the Upper Dantian God Sea, the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal suddenly erupted, urging a majestic aura, mysterious and extraordinary, sweeping across the surroundings, instantly covering Ning Zhuo’s body and mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Family Ancestral Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puff!\" The Supreme Clan Elder who maintained the spell was hit by a heavy hammer and vomited blood on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the Supreme Clan Elders who controlled the Clan Fate Pivot Chain shook violently, and in the blink of an eye, their beards and hair turned white, and a vertical slit cracked on each of their foreheads, bleeding continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?!\" Everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made everyone even more horrified was that a huge copper ring on the Clan Fate Pivot Chain suddenly broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the Clan Fate Pivot Chain underwent a series of collapses, copper rings, chains, sliders, etc., all collapsed, and the fragments and broken bodies shot everywhere like sharp arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad!\" The clone of the Supreme Great Elder’s eyes were about to split, \"Quickly interrupt the spellcasting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Supreme Clan Elders who controlled the Clan Fate Pivot Chain suffered heavy injuries, their minds were shaken, and it was difficult to clean up the messy situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, the clone of the Supreme Great Elder ignored his own safety, jumped directly in front of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain, and inserted his arms into the mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collapse of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain was forcibly stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone of the Supreme Great Elder became very dim, and the whole person was like smoke, ethereal and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was heavy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the Supreme Clan Elders finally had the energy to control the Clan Fate Pivot Chain, changing its form and no longer targeting Ning Zhuo, which stabilized the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this happen?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cut Ning Zhuo’s luck, and actually received such a backlash? Unbelievable! We are at least Nascent Soul level, and the Clan Fate Pivot Chain is our town-clan treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Clan Elders were shocked and suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had cut others’ luck not just once or twice, and had never encountered such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone of the Supreme Great Elder said with a hoarse voice: \"It’s a town-luck treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The force behind Ning Zhuo also has a town-luck magic treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a deathly silence in the ancestral hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A force with a town-luck treasure must be extraordinary. And in this confrontation, it was obvious that the Clan Fate Pivot Chain was miserably defeated by the opponent’s town-luck magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which force is behind Ning Zhuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators had livid faces, and a storm rose in their hearts, all trying to digest and accept this cruel result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Great Elder finally broke the silence with a bitter smile: \"I forcibly interrupted the operation of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain and suffered a huge backlash. I must return to the main body immediately, otherwise this clone will be hard to keep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of you handle this matter, remember, you must grasp the measure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, his clone turned into a smoke and dissipated on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Supreme Clan Elders looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew the Great Elder’s meaning and agreed with his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-crippled Clan Fate Pivot Chain and the heavily injured Soul Transformation level clone severely intimidated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Ning Zhuo has a big background, don’t insult him lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become Ban Ji’s human tribulation. This is a human tribulation targeting the King’s Mandate, can it be simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t cut his luck, but have to help Ban Ji pass the human tribulation, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a complete failure. Halfway through the spellcasting, Ning Zhuo’s luck was indeed cut a little. We are considered to be both losers. He must not be feeling good either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Stone Cave Dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sat blankly on the bamboo chair, looking surprised and suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a huge and intense reaction from the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this majestic aura appeared quickly and disappeared quickly, at most for three breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo waited for a long time, but didn’t see any movement from the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal. It floated quietly in the Upper Dantian God Sea and returned to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly attacked me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo touched his body, probed his body and mind with his spiritual sense, checked many times, but couldn’t find any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was safe and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal carefully again, there was no damage, not even a scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is probably some kind of Yansheng technique. Someone far away is secretly casting a curse on me!\" Ning Zhuo’s expression was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The My Buddha Heart Demon Seal was triggered passively, which likely made the opponent not get any benefit either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still watching?\" With a heavy responsibility, Ning Zhuo felt that his safety was guaranteed, and couldn’t help but have a trace of expectation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there are many such spells, and he might be able to catch some clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a while, but still saw nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo secretly said it was a pity, and became more vigilant in his heart: \"This is actually not surprising. I am acting high-profile now, and I have won the first place, which has naturally attracted many jealous eyes and increased many secret enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, it’s really despicable! I walk the righteous path and am not good at such conspiracies and plots, and I don’t even know who the enemy is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the final analysis, it’s because the external deterrence is insufficient!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Huangzi’s trial, although it made Ning Zhuo’s reputation match his reality, it could not subdue others because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ban Ji!\" A cold light flashed in Ning Zhuo’s eyes, \"This person is very suitable for me to establish prestige!
