Chapter 756

Seeing Ban Ji's expression was gloomy: "Yes. At the very beginning, I learned from Pi Fujie that Unlike Ning Zhuo possessed a mechanism puppet with Golden Core technology, so I wanted to seize it."

"I checked his intelligence first, and then delivered a flying letter expressing the intention of a duel."

"Who would have expected this youth at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to be comparable to Situ Xing?"

"This possibility is one in a million."

Ban Ban Ban Jie rolled her eyes: "So, you want to say your luck is bad?"

Seeing Ban Ji: "Precisely because of this, he is my human tribulation."

Ban Ban Ban Jie shook her head: "He now has your challenge letter and has grasped the initiative. He can avoid the battle, but if he takes out the challenge letter, you must accept the battle!"

Seeing Ban Ji gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Unlike Ning Zhuo is a person from abroad, and the power behind him still maintains a mysterious veil, having no reputation at all in the Flying Cloud Kingdom.

This is Unlike Ning Zhuo's weakness, but it is also an advantage. At least from the perspective of power and reputation, the possibility of forcing Unlike Ning Zhuo to accept the battle is minimal. Conversely, Seeing Ban Ji is not like that.

His situation is similar to Situ Xing and Zhu Fenxiang; if others start from the Ban family, Seeing Ban Ji cannot refuse the battle.

In this point, he is different from Pi Fujie.

Pi Fujie directly refused Unlike Ning Zhuo's challenge at the time, very naturally. Because the Pi family itself was a demonic sect that turned to the righteous path; the background is there.

Seeing Ban Ji is different. The Ban family is a righteous path family from beginning to end; Seeing Ban Ji practicing demonic arts is a special case.

In a word, the Ban family wants face!

Without face, how can one mix in the righteous path?

Seeing Ban Ji revealed a ruthless look: "To be honest, if Unlike Ning Zhuo takes the initiative to challenge me, that's fine too."

"If he can't think straight, I'll give him this opportunity."

"Of course, if the clan could support me with more Golden Core-level mechanism creations, then my certainty would be even greater."

Ban Ban Ban Jie shook her head directly: "Don't be reckless."

Since she was appointed to support Seeing Ban Ji here, she had learned of family secrets before setting off. Ban Ban Ban Jie not only knew Seeing Ban Ji's Royal Mandate but also knew the danger that the clan's ancestral mechanism chain was on the verge of collapse.

Ban Ban Ban Jie said in a deep voice: "Unlike Ning Zhuo is not as simple as you imagine; the water behind this is very deep."

Seeing Ban Ji snorted coldly: "If it weren't for being in the Wanxiang Sect, according to my usual temperament, I would have already mobilized manpower and crushed him directly."

"Even if I fought alone, as long as I had eight or more Golden Core-level mechanisms, relying on my talent and demonic arts, I could possess combat power comparable to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"A mere Unlike Ning Zhuo, I would crush him like crushing an ant."

Ban Ban Ban Jie sighed.

Seeing Ban Ji himself does not know the secret of the Royal Mandate. She couldn't say it clearly.

"Seeing Ban Ji's Royal Mandate has not erupted; it is still very weak."

"But according to the plan the family gave him, each 'Rising Clouds' trial can stimulate his Royal Mandate and officially open the journey of the Royal Mandate."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is a top-tier genius, the power behind him is unfathomable, and he is Seeing Ban Ji's human tribulation this time, now pressing Seeing Ban Ji in terms of luck. From the current overall situation, it can be seen that Unlike Ning Zhuo occupies the initiative!"

"Letting Seeing Ban Ji fight Unlike Ning Zhuo head-on now is quite risky! Seeing Ban Ji is currently lagging behind; he needs to catch up in momentum, constantly stimulate the Royal Mandate, and rapidly increase his strength."

"The family has spent a massive amount of resources, going through great pains to calculate the optimal route for him. Every 'Rising Clouds' trial can cause his strength to undergo some mysterious qualitative change!"

"As long as we are given sufficient time, Seeing Ban Ji's personal combat power and luck can be made to explode."

"Once Seeing Ban Ji's strength constantly surpasses him, leaving Unlike Ning Zhuo far behind, this human tribulation will collapse on its own."

"This is the Royal Way! This is the advantage of the Royal Mandate."

Ban Ban Ban Jie already has a plan in her heart. Of course, this plan of hers does not come from her personally, but from the wisdom of the entire Ban family.

"Seeing Ban Ji and the family's luck are linked together; they prosper together and suffer together."

"Now is the time for the family to shelter him from the wind and rain and delay for precious time."

"The future is ours!"

Ban Ban Ban Jie sent gifts in public before, also wanting to delay time, but Unlike Ning Zhuo performed very fiercely; from the perspective of the Ban family—this kid is too arrogant.

But this kind of arrogance is well understood by the high-level members of the Ban family.

"Bewitched by luck!"

"Even if he is a top-tier genius, compared to the Royal Mandate, he is just a mortal. Used by the Heavenly Dao and reduced to a tribulation of the Royal Mandate, he is naturally bewitched by luck and reduced to a pawn testing the Royal Mandate."

Now, the challenge letter is in Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands, and Ban Ban Ban Jie is very worried that Unlike Ning Zhuo will take out this card and force Seeing Ban Ji to a head-on duel now.

"He is young, so high-profile, publicly stating his attitude and provoking the Ban family, which shows he must have something to rely on!"

"Seeing Ban Ji has a trump card, and Unlike Ning Zhuo must have one too."

"The family touched the ancestral mechanism chain and didn't calculate all his luck; even the clan-protecting mechanism collapsed partially, which is enough to explain the problem."

"Even excluding these, just the fact that he could be chosen by the heavens to be Seeing Ban Ji's human tribulation is enough to explain the problem."

"How can we avoid him taking the letter to force Seeing Ban Ji to fight head-on?"

Ban Ban Ban Jie's brows were deeply locked.

She glanced at Seeing Ban Ji and didn't speak, only deciding in her heart: "If Unlike Ning Zhuo comes to force a battle, even if I have to knock Seeing Ban Ji unconscious, I must avoid this confrontation. The timing is too unfavorable for us; even if the Ban family's reputation is eroded, compared to protecting the Royal Mandate, this price can be paid!"

"Unlike Ning Zhuo has the endorsement of Confucian cultivators and the Hall of Punishing Evil, but spreading rumors is still a feasible move. It's just that this trip cannot constitute a serious blow to him; it only counts as a harassing fist wind."

"We must protect Seeing Ban Ji well and prevent the Qing Huangzi incident from happening again, so we must release a large amount of interference. On one hand, it can be a trap; on the other hand, even if it is purely a benefit, as long as it attracts Unlike Ning Zhuo's attention, it counts as a harvest."

"Sigh, I didn't expect that our dignified Ban family would have such a weak and passive time."

Rumors are flying!

Various rumors and views targeting Unlike Ning Zhuo are circulating throughout the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate.

These rumors focus the attention of cultivators on Unlike Ning Zhuo's status as an outsider, doing their best to highlight Unlike Ning Zhuo's arrogance, aggressive attitude, disdain for the local cultivators of the Flying Cloud Kingdom, and lack of demeanor.

At the same time, they point out that Unlike Ning Zhuo only has mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, the weakest among all top-tier geniuses. Yet he treats people with his nose in the air, thinking he is the center of the world.

These rumors can only damage Unlike Ning Zhuo's impression and favor slightly.

On the premise of not offending the Confucian cultivator group and the Hall of Punishing Evil, Ban Ban Ban Jie has done her best.

And what made her angry and shocked was that the rumors targeting the Ban family disclosed the various sins of Seeing Ban Ji during his past cultivation, bringing up his old affairs and making them public.

Especially what made Ban Ban Ban Jie feel disgusted was another stream of rumors. This stream of rumors stood from the perspective of the Ban family, thinking for the Ban family, and encouraged the Ban family to clean up the house and eradicate this "piece of rat dung" Ban Ban Ban Jie.

"Clan luck is already bound to the Royal Mandate; 'cleaning up the house' isn't that just revolutionizing the Ban family's own life!"

"This stream of rumors is truly vicious! It tries to separate Seeing Ban Ji and the Ban family, on one hand sowing discord, and on the other hand forcing the family; if the family still tolerates Seeing Ban Ji, it will inevitably attract many suspicions, and the reputation will be greatly damaged."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo—truly formidable!"

"The possibility that he did the Zhu Fenxiang matter has already reached seventy percent."

Although Ban Ban Ban Jie had anticipated the passive situation, when it actually happened, the severity of the situation still exceeded her expectations.

Once an expert makes a move, you know if they are good.

In a confrontation between experts, perhaps one look is enough to judge each other's general strength level.

This round of confrontation was originally Ban Ban Ban Jie's specialty, but she was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The gap in level was too obvious!

"Our disadvantage is too great, and my actions are tied hand and foot; how can I fight Unlike Ning Zhuo? Damn it! How hateful!" Ban Ban Ban Jie bit her lip, fresh blood flowing, but she didn't know it.

She felt very stifled, a fire burning in her heart!

The Wanxiang Sect's Flying Cloud Assembly is watched by everyone, and countless eyes from the entire Flying Cloud Kingdom will be cast here. Not just from this country, many cultivators from other countries will also come from ten thousand miles away to strive for opportunities to join and perform.

On this huge stage, any action could be magnified countless times.

Unlike Ning Zhuo showed the demeanor of a top-tier genius, and his influence was not limited to the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate; it had already leaked out and started to spread to the entire Flying Cloud Kingdom.

When his excellent performance continues until the end of the Flying Cloud Assembly, his reputation could even spread to the surrounding cultivation countries!

This is the Flying Cloud Assembly!

Precisely because of this, Situ Xing, Lin Jinglong, Shen Xi, Seeing Ban Ji, Pi Fujie, and others all had to wait for many years, waiting for such an opportunity to swarm in.

This is truly the best stage to become famous throughout the world!

And now, the rumors released by Unlike Ning Zhuo have dealt too great a blow to the reputation of Seeing Ban Ji and the Ban family.

Ban Ban Ban Jie knows very well that the Ban family's clean name is shaking rapidly. Seeing Ban Ji has also become a target of public criticism!

"Now, the ancestral mechanism chain is probably already showing obvious reactions. Clan luck must be decreasing rapidly."

"Sigh, but there is really no way. Compared to the Royal Mandate, this is an inevitable sacrifice."

The previous Ban Ban Ban Jie couldn't understand, always thinking that the family's indulgence of Seeing Ban Ji stemmed from the elders' doting and the leniency toward geniuses.

Now, she knows the truth: the Ban family is also helpless. Seeing Ban Ji's Royal Mandate falls on the strange path and demonic sect. Even if he is forced to practice the righteous path, fate will make various arrangements to urge him to defect and turn into a demonic cultivator.

By then, the entire Ban family would have to deal with Ban Ban Ban Jie.

On the contrary, complying with the development of the Royal Mandate, actively letting him practice demonic path techniques, and linking clan luck and the Royal Mandate, fundamentally prevents the situation of turning against each other.

The Ban family protects Seeing Ban Ji, paying a heavy price. But in the future, when the Royal Mandate erupts, earning a place and establishing a small cultivation country, then the entire Ban family will also rise to the heavens and become royal relatives!

Blue Stone Cave Dwelling.

Various intelligence is gathered in Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands.

"Ban Ban Ban Jie didn't spread rumors that I cheated? She does have some skills."

This is the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate; if outsiders like Unlike Ning Zhuo and Ban Ban Ban Jie spread rumors, it is very easy for the Wanxiang Sect to trace it back to the source. If Ban Ban Ban Jie really spread rumors that Unlike Ning Zhuo cheated, it would be a complete blunder.

"Just fabricating my arrogant and overbearing temperament is harmless."

"The problem is that Seeing Ban Ji has already obtained first place at the blind Foolish Old Man's place and obtained the stone tablet; what 'Rising Clouds' trial is he going to participate in next?"

"Is it the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor of the ancient sect Mechanism Sect, or the Mechanism Star Calculation of the heavenly ruins?"

"Is it the Immortal Bird Feather Clan fulfilling their promise to find a fated person for the Roc Wing, or the recruitment trial of the Return-Hidden Locksmith?"

The intelligence collected already shows that Seeing Ban Ji possesses Golden Core-level mechanism creations.

When Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu, two major combat forces, are missing, Unlike Ning Zhuo will not go to find trouble with Seeing Ban Ji head-on.

First, Xue Shu Yu·Xie and Xue Cai Nu·Hui are Unlike Ning Zhuo's original creations, Golden Core-level puppets newly obtained from the inheritance of the 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】, which are good at defense, and Unlike Ning Zhuo cannot fully exert their combat power.

Second, the Wanxiang Sect's martial arts arena does not forbid life and death; in Unlike Ning Zhuo's view, there is no need to take such risks.

Third, he wants to use Seeing Ban Ji to establish his prestige, not to put him to death. The other party relies on the Ban family, and Unlike Ning Zhuo does not want to offend the Ban family to death.

"Time is my advantage."

"I have many learning methods, and the Spirit Hidden Willow is also on the way; the 'Rising Clouds' trials here are all resources for my rapid growth."

"As long as I can suppress Seeing Ban Ji and establish a certain prestige, that is enough."

"I am new here, but I have become famous; I need to establish prestige to stand firm and stand steadily!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo does not know the secret of Seeing Ban Ji's Royal Mandate, nor does he know that the Ban family is already linked to Seeing Ban Ji's luck, prospering together and suffering together, belonging to a relationship of fully supporting Seeing Ban Ji.

He doesn't know even more that in the eyes of Seeing Ban Ji and the Ban family, he is Seeing Ban Ji's human tribulation and must be dealt with fully and cautiously!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's plan is: find the 'Rising Clouds' trial that Seeing Ban Ji wants to participate in, and he will take the initiative to participate. In this way, he will confront Seeing Ban Ji. If he can suppress Seeing Ban Ji multiple times, he can establish his prestige.

Ordinary cultivators who want to find trouble with Unlike Ning Zhuo will inevitably have to weigh it several times.

After all, Unlike Ning Zhuo is a ruthless character who dares to provoke even the Ban family and can suppress even Seeing Ban Ji.

The result Unlike Ning Zhuo wants to achieve now is to make most people feel fearful when offending him, knowing that they will pay a huge price!

"Previous 'Rising Clouds' trials related to mechanism arts were not many."

"But with Ban Ban Ban Jie coming here, the scale of mechanism trials has expanded more than three times compared to before."

"And these 'Rising Clouds' trials have taken the initiative to send me letters, inviting me to participate!"

"There must be a trap from the Ban family in this!"

"I must choose cautiously."

If he really steps into a trap, under the influence of the Ban family, Unlike Ning Zhuo will inevitably lose, or even lose to Seeing Ban Ji. That would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

"I need more intelligence to make the correct judgment as much as possible."

"In addition to the background of these mechanism trials, there is also Seeing Ban Ji's precise movement."

"Before this, I still have to rely on guessing."

"This 'Rising Clouds' trial revolves around the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor of the ancient sect Mechanism Sect, which has appeared in every Flying Cloud Assembly, and Seeing Ban Ji has also sent subordinates to understand it before. In my opinion, it is the most likely one."

Ban family.

Ancestral Shrine.

Surrounding the ancestral mechanism chain, a group of Supreme Elders were panting, physically and mentally exhausted.

The structure of the ancestral mechanism chain changed again, and in the glass vertical tube, the water level was slowly rising.

This represents Seeing Ban Ji's luck.

"Getting the stone tablet is not the key; the key is mastering the Blind Foolish Divine Art and officially opening the Royal Mandate!"

"What is the next step?"

"It is the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor."
