Chapter 87

After searching for a day and a night, many Golden Core cultivators still didn't dig out the shadow demon cultivator.

Facing this fact, the four major forces of Fire Persimmon City had no face.

The martial law of the Xiancheng was not lifted, but martial law could not stop the rumors and undercurrents.

Zhu Xuanji asked Seeing Fei Si for some mechanical fragments.

These fragments all came from the mechanical monkeys that lost control and attacked Yuan Er.

Since the shadow demon cultivator didn't appear, these mechanical fragments became the only clue.

Zhu Xuanji fiddled with these fragments.

He also got the design drawings of the fire-exploding monkeys, looked at them a few times, and kept them in his heart.

Spending half a cup of tea, he tried his best to piece together three mechanical monkeys from the fragments in his hand.

The mechanical fire-exploding monkeys were all broken and barely stood in front of him.

Zhu Xuanji took out the thread, infused magic power, and manipulated these mechanical fire-exploding monkeys.

If Seeing Fei Si saw it, he would be surprised: it turns out Zhu Xuanji has this hand.

Zhu Xuanji has his own attainments in mechanical arts, and he was chosen to come here to investigate the case, which is one of the reasons.

After a while, Zhu Xuanji put away all the threads and sighed, finding no valuable clues.

"Let's review it again."

Zhu Xuanji closed his eyes and reviewed the process of his investigation. First the mechanical monkeys, then the thousand-jin fire essence, and finally the shadow demon cultivator.

"Using mechanical monkeys to self-detonate is obviously to guard against the Trace-Tracing Technique."

"The thousand-jin fire essence has no traces in the market, and if the four major forces do it, it is easy to achieve."

"The shadow demon cultivator disappeared; the most likely thing is that there is an inside ghost who privately let him go!"

All the clues were hinting to Zhu Xuanji that one of the three great families in Fire Persimmon City might be the mastermind behind blowing up the Xian Gong and playing the shadow demon cultivator.

"But if the shadow demon cultivator had already escaped early, why did he trigger the mechanical monkeys to explode at the Fire Persimmon Festival and frame the Monkey Head Gang?"

"Isn't this doing more than necessary?"

Zhu Xuanji thought deeper and deeper.

"Perhaps the other party wanted to use this to disguise himself and create the illusion that the shadow demon cultivator was at the scene."

"In addition, the other party eliminated the old ape, probably because it saw that the old ape's performance was too prominent. Solving it in public can weaken the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Finally, the other party seems to want to use this to confuse me and drag down my investigation progress."

Bang!

Zhu Xuanji clenched his fist and smashed it on the jade table.

He felt the enemy's provocation towards him. These mechanical monkey fragments seemed to be laughing at his incompetence, as if saying: come and check, I left you clues!

But Zhu Xuanji had long learned the lesson of the mechanical monkeys, knowing that since the other party did this, it would inevitably be impossible to find anything, and instead, it would waste his precious time and energy.

"If the mechanical monkeys are the other party's provocation, then is the old ape really a mistake?" Zhu Xuanji thought of this layer, so he turned back halfway on the day of the Fire Persimmon Festival and didn't hesitate to use top-grade medicine to verify whether the old ape's mind was affected.

Zhu Xuanji's verification result was no.

After thinking hard for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and thought: "The most suspicious thing is still that explosion!"

The night was deep.

Zhu Xuanji hid his figure and went back to the Monkey Head Gang station, using spells to make Yuan Er sleep like death.

Afterwards, he took out the top-grade medicine and carefully dropped a drop for Yuan Er, but saw no effect.

Zhu Xuanji was frustrated: "What am I thinking? The possibility of Yuan Er's mind being affected is too small!"

"Hmph, this evil obstacle also wasted a drop of my top-grade medicine."

Zhu Xuanji looked at the sleeping Yuan Er, his mood was not good.

When he turned to leave, he flicked his sleeve, and the airflow hit Yuan Er's cheek, making a crisp sound.

Zhu Xuanji quietly moved away from the Monkey Head Gang station, faced the starry sky, went to the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, and met the City Lord.

"City Lord Meng Kui, I want to review all the records and thoroughly investigate everyone who has entered and exited the Lava Xian Gong over the years!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo returned home, rested for a while, waited patiently until late at night, then put on the Cang Tie Han Jia, and disguised himself as Chui Tiao Ke again.

He came to the dungeon through teleportation and met Han Ming.

As soon as he pushed open the cell door, he saw Han Ming squatting on the ground, scratching his head, his posture very indecent.

Han Ming was startled, hurriedly stood up, waved his hand at Unlike Ning Zhuo, and said with a look of horror: "Lord, Lord, don't give me monkey souls anymore. My soul needs to digest, needs to purify!"

"Now, my soul has become deformed and has produced many monkey characteristics."

"My behavior has also unconsciously changed!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded; he also knew that he couldn't fish in a dried-up pond, so he said warmly: "You have worked hard during this time. Next, you only need to absorb this ape. I will give you a holiday and let you have a good rest for a while."

Unlike Ning Zhuo frantically bought wild monkeys and handed them all to Han Ming to absorb.

Unlike Ning Zhuo benefited from this, and his soul foundation rose to more than eighty times what it was when he first met Han Ming.

Han Ming's state declined sharply, and he also saw it.

Bang.

Yuan Dasheng's corpse was taken out of the storage bag and thrown on the ground.

Han Ming was startled, and his hair stood up. The first glance made her feel that this old ape was unusual!

"Swallow its soul, and you can have a holiday." Unlike Ning Zhuo said.

When dealing with the corpse, Unlike Ning Zhuo deliberately wore out Yuan Dasheng's soul and imprisoned it in the corpse.

Yuan Dasheng didn't practice soul-related techniques, so it could only be manipulated by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

But doing so still had risks.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's best choice was to let Han Ming swallow it, and then he would swallow it from Han Ming, maximizing the use of this trophy.

"Thank you, Lord, for your consideration!" Han Ming swallowed his saliva and began to perform the Soul-Swallowing Technique.

But the next moment, Yuan Dasheng's corpse flashed with a golden light.

Pfft.

Han Ming vomited a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was shocked, while manipulating several small puppets to save him, while vigilantly checking Yuan Dasheng's corpse.

Han Ming woke up quickly, shouting in horror: "Righteous Bone Gold Firm!"

"This, this is a super-grade talent!!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows, surprised in his heart: "Super-grade talent? This old ape has immortal talent? You didn't see it wrong?"

Han Ming nodded, staring at the old ape's corpse, and said decisively: "Absolutely not wrong! I have read the sect classics and confirmed that this is the characteristic of Righteous Bone Gold Firm. The possessor often has a natural loyalty and is unyielding."

"The whole body's bones are the hardest, comparable to Vajra, and even the flesh is solid and tough. The soul is attached to the bones, so it will be firm and unmoving, easily not moved by external things."

"With my current state, I can't absorb its soul. I'm afraid that even in my prime, I might not succeed."

At this time, Han Ming also identified the old ape's identity and sighed: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the old ape of the Monkey Head Gang, Yuan Yi's monkey pet, actually has immortal talent!"

Immediately, Han Ming was stunned.

She hurriedly raised her head and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, her eyes glowing.
