Chapter 759: The righteous style of the big-headed youth

"I————" In normal times, Ban Ji would have cursed out loud; he is not a good-tempered person, nor does he have any righteous demeanor.

But just as he was about to curse, he suddenly realized the occasion.

This is not the Ban family, but the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate, with so many people watching.

He could only swallow the curse, change it to bulging eyes, and stare fixedly at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his gaze so scorching it was as if he were spitting fire.

"This little brat really treats me as a demonic cultivator; this righteous face is too hateful!"

"No, that's not right. Although I am a demonic cultivator, I am from the Ban family; I am righteous, I am also righteous!"

Ban Ji realized something was wrong and immediately spoke out to refute Unlike Ning Zhuo, saying the latter was slandering him.

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his big head, looked at Ban Ji with his nostrils, and said with disdain: "Ban Ji, you are famous, but now it seems that you dare not admit what you have done, hypocritical and cunning, nothing more."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

"You————" Ban Ji was furious and subconsciously clenched his fists.

In the past, he would have used force to kill such a cultivator who provoked him. Even if he couldn't do it himself, Ban Ji could call upon the family forces to swarm him.

But not now!

Ban Ji's eyes were blood-red, staring fixedly at Unlike Ning Zhuo's back, wishing he could punch him and pierce him directly from the back of his heart.

It's really too infuriating!

Ban Ji had never been provoked like this, slapped in the face in public.

Yet he couldn't refute it.

Because he really had done it. Even the refutation just now seemed weak.

"I really, really want to kill him with one punch!"

"I really want to step on his head and tell him directly, Grandpa, I did it, so what?!"

A strong impulse arose in Ban Ji's heart, and his demonic art subconsciously operated, causing demonic energy to overflow around him.

But he couldn't.

If he did this, he would be publicly violating the Wanxiang Sect's rules. At that time, even the entire Ban family couldn't protect him.

"I could forget it! But how would my father and mother face the family?"

"Not cool, really too not cool!"

For a time, Ban Ji was so angry that he wanted to roar at the sky.

It was really too stifling.

"If only there were no family." Such a thought flashed through his Spirit Sea, unprecedentedly strong.

The demonic path emphasizes following one's nature; one must fully express one's emotions. I don't care how big the world is; I am the biggest! My personal emotions are the most important, and the world revolves around me.

Only by doing this can a demonic cultivator's cultivation of demonic arts proceed smoothly.

Just from this point, demonic cultivators naturally clash with rules and are difficult to integrate into a tightly united organization.

However, demonic cultivators themselves are also good at mobilizing various emotions in others.

But now, Ban Ji's strong anger and hatred were fiercely mobilized by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Ban Ji gritted his teeth, grinding them until they creaked.

"Decided!"

"Must smash you into ashes."

"I want to step on you fiercely and wash away my shame."

"You wait for me, you wait for me."

"Why hasn't this Xingyun Small Trial started yet?!"

Ban Ji was overflowing with killing intent.

Many bystanders had glowing eyes.

They had eaten a melon and seen a lively scene.

Someone nodded in their heart: "Unlike Ning Zhuo is worthy of being a new star of the righteous path; he is righteous under the three questions of questioning the heart. Seeing him today, it is indeed so."

Someone frowned in doubt: "How can the dignified Ban family allow such an existence as Ban Ji? His demonic art is quite profound."

O

Someone secretly shook their head: "In just a few sentences of verbal confrontation, Ban Ji was stimulated by Unlike Ning Zhuo to the point of going berserk; the two are clearly different in level."

Everyone wants to follow their nature and be the biggest in the world, but no one wants others to be such demonic cultivators.

Therefore, everyone naturally leaned toward Unlike Ning Zhuo in their hearts.

Just in the first round of confrontation, relying solely on words, Unlike Ning Zhuo occupied the upper hand, used Ban Ji to set off himself, and gained a batch of hearts.

Unlike Ning Zhuo calculated Ban Ji as soon as they met; he took the initiative to provoke and took the initiative to leave. After scanning a circle, he walked to Lu Zeng and bowed.

"May I ask if you are Senior Lu Zeng?" Unlike Ning Zhuo had a calm smile and was polite.

He naturally paid more attention to mechanism cultivators. This Lu Zeng was within the information he collected.

Lu Zeng wore indigo clothes and had many tool bags wrapped around his waist. A bronze ruler hung on his chest, and a wooden mechanism box was carried on his back.

Unlike Ning Zhuo knew that he mainly cultivated the "Coupling Art of Connecting Threads," and his life-bound magic treasure was a mechanism creation named Thousand Mechanism Lotus.

Facing Unlike Ning Zhuo, Lu Zeng had a lot of goodwill in his heart and showed a generous smile, waving his hands repeatedly: "I dare not accept, I dare not accept, you and I can be treated as peers."

Unlike Ning Zhuo only had the cultivation of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but Lu Zeng would never underestimate him for this.

Unlike Ning Zhuo is a genius who stood out in the first wave, his future is at least at the Golden Core level, and he has already gained the goodwill of the Confucian cultivator group and the Evil-Slaying Hall, and has publicly confronted Ban Ji and the Ban family, proving that he has great confidence.

Even a blind person could see that such a person has a bright future, and Lu Zeng is naturally not blind, treating him as a peer directly.

After talking for a few sentences, Lu Zeng took the initiative to give Unlike Ning Zhuo a jade tablet, stating that in future transactions, this tablet could be used to obtain some discounts.

Lu Zeng himself operates multiple stores. If he can successfully join the Wanxiang Sect this time, he expects to set up a store within the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate, selling a large number of mechanism external components.

He is best at manufacturing such mechanism components, and the wonder of the "Coupling Art of Connecting Threads" is fully reflected in the mechanism components; as long as they are pasted on mechanism creations, threads will condense and tightly connect the two.

Relying on this, Lu Zeng sells a large number of mechanism components to obtain cultivation resources and promote his own cultivation.

After sending out the jade pendant, Lu Zeng took the initiative to send a jade pendant to Ban Ji in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"You two are both dragons and phoenixes among men, geniuses in the art of mechanisms. If you can have business dealings in the future, that would naturally be for the best."

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of both Unlike Ning Zhuo and Ban Ji.

With this action, Lu Zeng immediately declared his neutral stance: I am a businessman; I am on good terms with both of you, and I will offend neither!

This was consistent with his background as an outer sect servant, and also consistent with the intelligence reports describing his temperament.

After exchanging a few words with Lu Zeng, Unlike Ning Zhuo chose to take his leave.

He arrived on the other side, in front of the Jin Dan cultivator Tie Zheng.

Tie Zheng was eight feet tall, wore a bronze beast mask, and was dressed in a martial artist's outfit. His exposed joints, such as elbows and knees, were replaced by steel bone balls.

He carried a large Qilin-headed saber on his back and had iron chains wrapped around his waist, from which twelve beast-headed copper bell balls hung.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but Tie Zheng responded coldly.

After a few sentences, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to leave.

He knew the intelligence on Tie Zheng and did not take the latter's cold reaction to heart.

Tie Zheng came from a great clan but had suffered repeated betrayals. His parents, wife, and sworn brothers—these betrayals filled him with contempt and disgust for human nature. He voluntarily left his family to become a rogue cultivator, practicing alone in the mountains and wilderness day after day.

Compared to others, he trusted the blade in his own hand more.

He also obtained opportunities in the wilderness, allowing him to cultivate blade beasts. To date, he had cultivated twelve blade beasts, all using Jin Dan-level blade weapons as the main material, so the blade beasts were also at the Jin Dan level.

This made his combat power far exceed the norm, and he was a famous Jin Dan rogue cultivator in the Feiyun Kingdom.

Unlike Ning Zhuo came to Ao Pan next and took the initiative to pay his respects: "Junior Unlike Ning Zhuo, I do not know your esteemed name, Senior. I hope you will not take offense."

Of the three Jin Dan cultivators present, Unlike Ning Zhuo recognized the first two, but he did not know Ao Pan.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had studied the intelligence in his hands thoroughly, and he could be certain that there was no one named Ao Pan in the reports.

This could only mean that Ao Pan had just arrived at the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate recently.

Ao Pan was seven feet tall, with a hunched chest and back like an old ape. There were three claw marks on his left cheek, and one eye was larger than the other. His right eye was smaller and murky like stone; his left eye was slightly larger, with a vertical pupil and a golden base.

"I do not know, so I do not take offense. I come from the Fubo Kingdom and arrived just yesterday."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo, I know of you. Like you, I am an outsider."

Among the three Jin Dan cultivators, Ao Pan's attitude toward Unlike Ning Zhuo was the most enthusiastic.

"Fubo Kingdom?" Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately became interested, followed the topic, and chatted with Ao Pan for a while.

Unlike Ning Zhuo read many books and was clear on many common facts, knowing some of the customs and traditions of the Fubo Kingdom.

Ao Pan chatted with him about things he was familiar with and felt a sense of closeness, wanting to continue talking with Unlike Ning Zhuo, but Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed to apologize and took the initiative to take his leave.

"Although this person is a body cultivator, he has many thoughts. I used the topic of the Fubo Kingdom to probe him several times, but he responded tactfully and avoided everything."

? ttkдn? ￠O

In just a short round of conversation, Unlike Ning Zhuo already roughly understood Ao Pan's temperament.

By comparison, Tie Zheng was actually more reliable.

Unlike Ning Zhuo decisively withdrew.

Ao Pan stared at the big-headed youth's back, his eyes narrowing slightly: "This kid is even slipperier than me. Although he passed the three questions of the heart and is full of righteous spirit, he is not a straightforward person and has deep social skills."

"He talked a lot about the Fubo Kingdom, and I had much of my situation pried out of me by him, yet I don't even know where he comes from!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Xingyun Trial had not yet begun, Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to make friends with the surrounding cultivators.

He quickly fixed his gaze on Zhang Wangxing.

This was because this person radiated the aura of a Foundation Establishment peak, which was very obvious.

Zhang Wangxing was burly, but he was covered in an even wider gray linen robe, and a huge hood covered his face; he even used spells to condense shadows to cover his features.

It was daytime, and the light outside the Profound Armor Cave was bright, but facing Zhang Wangxing, Unlike Ning Zhuo could only see the lower edge of the shadow under the hood, outlining Zhang Wangxing's jawline. And this arc often produced subtle fluctuations.

"May I ask if you are Zhang Wangxing?" Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to greet him.

Zhang Wangxing nodded slightly, his voice hoarse: "It is indeed me, Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo."

Unlike Ning Zhuo knew his intelligence. Although this person only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, he possessed Jin Dan-level combat power. He practiced the "Blood and Flesh Variable Sutra," which complemented his lower-grade aptitude. Do not be fooled by his gentle tone; he was actually an evil cultivator who usually took on employment and did any job to earn high rewards to fund his own cultivation.

Zhang Wangxing sent a spiritual sense message: "Fellow Daoist, if you want to deal with Ban Ji in the Xingyun Trial, I can help. I believe that with Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo's noble background, you will not treat me poorly."

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not refuse either, responding with spiritual sense: "Easy to say, easy to say. The situation is currently unclear, but whenever needed, I will definitely contact Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Zhang Wangxing chuckled: "Fellow Daoist, be careful. To tell you the truth, if Ban Ji comes to hire me, I will agree to it as well."

His tone contained a hidden threat, and he decisively raised the price.

This put Unlike Ning Zhuo in a subtly passive position, and knowing he could not stay long, he decisively took his leave.

"I acted high-profile, obtained the stone tablet in the first wave, did not fear the Ban family, provoked Ban Ji, and won equal treatment from the Jin Dan cultivators."

"Yet, in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I fell into a disadvantage. That is quite interesting."

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt a sense of emotion.

He had left the Fire Persimmon Immortal City this time to travel the world, seeing the magnificent mountains and rivers along the way and meeting all kinds of people.

At this very moment, under the Wanxiang Sect's Feiyun Assembly, cultivators from all sides gathered, which opened his eyes even more and frequently stirred his heart.

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo!" At this moment, a mechanism cultivator took the initiative to step forward and pay respects to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

This person was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a sturdy build, broad shoulders, and a thick waist; his skin was dark and shiny, like a lump of iron. He carried a square iron shield on his back and moved slowly.

As soon as Unlike Ning Zhuo saw this person, he smiled and called out his name: "Zhang Dadan."

This was an acquaintance.

Zhang Dadan had also participated in Qing Huangzi's Xingyun Trial, and Unlike Ning Zhuo had even hosted him for a banquet. Besides him, there were Patch Sun, Chen San, Jiang Xiaobian, and A-Huo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's impression of these people was still quite deep.

Unlike Ning Zhuo patted Zhang Dadan on the shoulder: "Where are the others?"

Upon asking, he learned that Patch Sun had originally wanted to come with Zhang Dadan but was delayed by another Xingyun Trial. Fortunately, the Nine-Layer Profound Weapon Armor's Xingyun Trial had many rounds, similar to the Evil-Slaying Hall, so it did not count as losing the opportunity.

Chen San had already defected to Unlike Ning Zhuo and gone to execute Unlike Ning Zhuo's mission.

Jiang Xiaobian and A-Huo were not interested in the Nine-Layer Profound Weapon Armor. This did not fit the path they were cultivating.

For the two of them, there were so many Xingyun Trials, and there were others more suitable for them.

Unlike Ning Zhuo exchanged a few words with Zhang Dadan, and then other cultivators came over to strike up a conversation.

Ban Ji had previously maintained a cold and arrogant posture of "strangers keep away," and he was also an evil cultivator with a notorious reputation (greatly enhanced by Unlike Ning Zhuo's rumors), so even if everyone wanted to cling to him, they had to weigh it a bit and fell into hesitation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was different.

As soon as he came over, he provoked Ban Ji into jumping, occupied the upper hand, and showed strength. More and more cultivators believed that the power behind Unlike Ning Zhuo was by no means inferior to the Ban family; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain Unlike Ning Zhuo's such strong and confident performance.

Moreover, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to talk and communicate, and was very kind to people like Zhang Dadan, which made the watching cultivators' hearts flutter.

So, in the following time, without Unlike Ning Zhuo needing to go, many cultivators took the initiative to walk over.

Unlike Ning Zhuo responded to them one by one, his attitude always kind and cordial.

Such a scene immediately highlighted Ban Ji. Ban Ji stood by the mountain wall, alone, looking quite left out.

Ban Ji watched Unlike Ning Zhuo surrounded by the crowd, his eyelids twitching constantly.

Damn it!

This familiar situation happened again.

This is not good.

If this continues, is he going to let Unlike Ning Zhuo unite a bunch of idiots to deal with him again?

Troublesome!

Truly a nuisance!

Unlike Ning Zhuo had not been on the scene for long, and after just a few rounds of socializing, Ban Ji felt a wave of pressure again.
