Chapter 84

Zhu Xuanji snorted coldly: "You guys are suspecting me first!"

"I use Golden Eyes to monitor, penetrating the cave and the earth, how can mere flames block my eyes?"

"I saw that the old ape had practiced a demon technique, which was quite profound, but it never used it. It would rather sacrifice its own life to cover its master."

"It is truly affectionate and righteous!"

"If it were us humans, how many could achieve this level?"

"I was moved by this, so I couldn't bear to let it die, so I performed the rescue."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xuanji's tone deepened: "However, precisely because I personally performed the rescue, not only did I use Golden Eyes to observe, but I also used magic power to penetrate its body. Therefore, I am absolutely certain that except for the heavy injuries, everything else about the old ape is normal, and there is absolutely no shadow demon cultivator hiding inside!"

Seeing Zhu Xuanji's certainty, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence again.

If this is true, then there are no more doubts.

The greater possibility is that someone secretly let the shadow demon cultivator go in advance.

Fei gradually frowned, he opened his mouth to speak, but closed his mouth again.

The Zhou family ancestor also frowned, but continued to ask: "Lord Zhu, I dare to ask again, are you sure there is no mistake?"

"In this world, are there no other spells or supernatural powers that can hide from your dual investigation of Golden Eyes and magic power?"

Zhu Xuanji sneered: "If you say that, it's meaningless."

"Who can ensure there is no mistake?"

"In this world, there are countless talents, endless geniuses, and countless spells, supernatural powers, and magic treasures. How can we know them all."

"I can only tell you that I have mastered the Golden Eyes talent, which is close to a supernatural power. I have joined the God-Catching Division for more than ten years and have only encountered three Golden Core cultivators who have resisted my Golden Eyes insight. Below the Golden Core, no living thing has ever escaped my eyes."

Everyone fell into silence again.

Zhu Xuanji wanted to completely shake off his own suspicion and proposed: "Since someone doesn't trust me, that's fine. Let's go find that old ape now, and everyone can examine it personally, how about that?"

"That makes sense!" Chi Dun nodded.

"Alright." The Zhou family ancestor also agreed.

Fei's heart skipped a beat.

He thought of Ning Zhuo again.

After this, Ning Zhuo took the initiative to propose to persuade Yuan Er to surrender, threatening and luring Yuan Er to kill the old ape.

I don't know what stage it has reached now?

Thinking that Ning Zhuo still had his token in his hand, Fei felt anxious.

He was calm on the surface: "I also have doubts about this matter, it's good to witness it with my own eyes."

"In this way, Chi Dun, you continue to preside over the situation here and lead the other Golden Core cultivators to continue searching. The underground may hide people, so we must not let it go easily!"

Fei also invited the Zhou family ancestor and Zhu Xuanji, along with himself, to check Yuan Dasheng together.

Chi Dun was dissatisfied: "Why am I staying here? You should be responsible for this!"

Fei only said one sentence to make him obedient: "The City Lord appointed me to be responsible for the Fire Persimmon Festival. Are you not listening to my deployment?"

Chi Dun snorted coldly and could only obey.

The three Golden Cores flew to the Monkey Head Gang's residence together.

Yuan Er was still kneeling on the ground in front of the bed, his expression dazed, his gaze dull.

Suddenly, the three Golden Cores descended from the sky, piercing through the roof and looking down at him from above.

Yuan Er was scared into a shiver.

"Where is your old monkey?" Zhu Xuanji's spiritual sense swept through the backyard, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Yuan Er's face turned pale, and he burst into tears: "Dead. My Monkey Uncle is dead!"

Zhu Xuanji's eyes flashed with golden light, and he sternly forced: "I gave you the Late Autumn Life-Preserving Pill, how could that old ape die?"

Yuan Er's body was like a sieve, not daring to hide anything, and he tremblingly revealed everything.

After hearing this, Zhu Xuanji was so angry that his face turned pale, and he pointed at Yuan Er: "You ungrateful thing!"

He turned to look at Fei: "Good, good for you, Fei. You gave me such a color, you are quite interesting."

Fei was already secretly happy in his heart: "I didn't expect Ning Zhuo to act so fast, well done!"

He had regained his ground, his heart was happy, and he immediately narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Thank you, Lord Zhu, for the compliment."

"I am also thinking about the Fire Persimmon Immortal City."

"After all, it is cruel to always use monkey pets to pick fire persimmons. The Three Sects' Shangren are compassionate. If it weren't for him leaving the Lava Immortal Palace back then, Fire Persimmon Mountain wouldn't be the blessed land it is today."

"As juniors, we must also deeply understand the spirit of the Three Sects' Shangren, let these monkeys go, and fully use mechanical creations. This is for the sake of all living beings, it is a compassionate heart, and it is even more of a virtuous government."

Fei played dumb, pretending he couldn't hear Zhu Xuanji's sarcasm, and praised himself thoroughly.

Zhu Xuanji was so angry that his breathing was rapid, and his face was white with a hint of blue.

Fei felt even more comfortable in his heart.

This was not entirely a matter of face.

The confrontation between righteous cultivators cannot be as direct and bloody as that of demon cultivators.

Therefore, these confrontations under the rules have become a sign of judging the strength of cultivators.

Fame and profit, fame and profit, often having a reputation can bring real benefits.

Fei was forced by Zhu Xuanji in public and had to open the formation. Such a weak performance would make many people lean towards Zhu Xuanji in the future. This harmed Fei's authority and reduced his influence.

In essence, it was also reducing the influence of the City Lord's Mansion and the contemporary City Lord Meng Kui.

Zhu Xuanji came on behalf of the royal family and the God-Catching Division, and there was a game between him and the Meng Kui line.

If Fei didn't fight back, accurately speaking, fight back legitimately within the rules of the game, Meng Kui would be disappointed.

Now, he had won a round, offset the previous negative impact, and also let him breathe a sigh of relief.

The Zhou family ancestor on the side frowned and didn't want to participate in the infighting between Fei and Zhu Xuanji at all. As a third party, it was too early to make a choice now.

He wanted to solve the shadow demon cultivator's matter more, so he said: "Since the old ape has been taken away, why are we still staying here?"

"Brother Fei, where is your envoy now?" The Zhou family ancestor asked Fei.

The Immortal City formation greatly suppressed spiritual sense, but Fei had his own authority, so he immediately used the formation to expand his spiritual sense and sensed his own token.

"Follow me!" Fei took the lead and flew away from the Monkey Head Gang.

Zhu Xuanji and the Zhou family ancestor followed closely.

Three rays of light crossed the air and then landed at the Flying Disc Workshop.

Zhu Xuanji reached out and grabbed, and suddenly an invisible force lifted the roof, revealing Ning Zhuo and Chen Cha.

And the old ape that the three Golden Cores wanted to find was lying on the mechanical pedestal, its essence and blood had been drained, and it was about to be dismembered.

"Stop immediately!" The Zhou family ancestor shouted.

Ning Zhuo and Chen Cha were shocked and hurriedly greeted them.

The three Golden Core cultivators ignored them and directly released their spiritual sense to scan Yuan Dasheng's corpse comprehensively.

No traces of any demon cultivator hiding were found.

"It did practice demon techniques, and it seems quite good." The Zhou family ancestor said.

Zhu Xuanji confirmed his previous monitoring results again. He looked at the old ape's corpse with regret, and then cast his gaze on Ning Zhuo: "You kid, you have a good tongue. Yuan Er is also a fool, easily persuaded by you."

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and said with a nervous face: "Lord Zhu, please see clearly. The cooperation between the kid and Yuan Er is a win-win! I want to make money, and Yuan Er wants to keep his position as gang leader."

"Please forgive the kid for speaking bluntly, you are affectionate and righteous, and helped the old ape. But for it, is it really a good thing? With its loyalty to its master, it would rather not drag its master down, right?"

"Hmph, sharp-tongued!" Zhu Xuanji's perception of Ning Zhuo dropped significantly.

Fei on the side stroked his beard and appreciated Ning Zhuo more and more.

Finding no suspicious points, the three Golden Cores flew away immediately.

Fei rushed back to the fire persimmon forest, but Zhu Xuanji paused halfway.

His brows were tightly locked, thinking hard: "I always feel that something is not quite right!"
