Random Recommendation:
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit is now caught in a massive whirlpool, unable to control its own fate!
“If it weren’t for Ning Xiaohui, I would never have revealed these crucial pieces of information to Ning Zhuo!” The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was filled with resentment. As it sighed, its expression suddenly changed drastically, revealing a look of horror.
“Life Hanging by a Thread!”
“Ning Zhuo is in dire straits, desperately needing critical intelligence. He cannot obtain it from Ning Jiufan, but he received it from me.”
“The reason I am helping him is because of Ning Xiaohui.”
“Even though Ning Xiaohui despises and hates Ning Zhuo, the ‘Life Hanging by a Thread’ technique has been planted in her. Her qi destiny can also be used by Ning Zhuo!”
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was, of course, quite familiar with the supernatural power, “Life Hanging by a Thread.”
Realizing the subtle contest of fate occurring in the shadows, and the mysterious changes and influences at play, it couldn’t help but retract its head further into its shell.
The complete “Life Hanging by a Thread” supernatural power was already exerting its effect.
However, very few could perceive it!
Even the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit only glimpsed a corner of the influence and changes of fate.
Ning Zhuo fell silent.
He understood what the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was implying – as a palace spirit, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit itself was unable to directly harm the trial disciples, but he could!
The reason the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit notified him was because it knew Ning Zhuo could stop Ning Xiaohui.
The reason was very simple.
“Life Hanging by a Thread!”
Ning Xiaohui had already had the “Life Hanging by a Thread” technique planted on her by Ning Zhuo.
Once this supernatural power was activated, it might lead to Ning Xiaohui’s death.
“But all of this needs careful consideration.”
If Ning Zhuo directly used this supernatural power, it would inevitably attract Ning Jiufan’s investigation.
Ning Xiaohui was a genius, possessing Ice Jade Hands, and was the main lineage’s poster child in the Qi Refining stage.
If she were to die, the entire Ning family would be shaken.
The investigation by the Ning family and Ning Jiufan was not the main concern; the real threat was Zhu Xuanji!
And based on Zhu Xuanji’s current alliance with the three families, he would almost certainly be involved in the subsequent investigation.
“Also, I still haven’t had a chance to ask the Fire Spirit about the Foundation Establishment method.” Ning Zhuo sighed.
His two exchanges with the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been too rushed, leaving him no opportunity to inquire about the Foundation Establishment method and confirm his previous guesses.
Ning Zhuo licked his dry lips, stopped dwelling on it, and immediately entered the Immortal Palace with his spirit.
He needed to contact Sun Lingtong immediately.
Although there were other ways to communicate, they were all unusable now.
“Zhu Xuanji asked me a few questions and then left.”
“He came and went with great fanfare, only giving me three days to give him an explanation. It was all thunder and no rain!”
“This is very different from his usual low-profile style when investigating cases.”
“Therefore, he likely planted some kind of monitoring means on me or in this room.”
“Using conventional methods to contact Sun Lingtong would be tantamount to exposing myself.”
“Now, I can only hope that Sun Lingtong is also in the Magma Immortal Palace!”
Since Sun Lingtong was brought into the trial by Ning Zhuo, he had subsequently obtained the identity of a trial disciple.
This meant he could freely enter and exit the Magma Immortal Palace.
The puppet Ning Zhuo appeared in Room Number One, and Sun Lingtong, who was hiding in a corner, immediately rushed over.
“What exactly happened? Why is Zhu Xuanji looking for you?” Sun Lingtong pressed.
Although he was in the underground base, he had been closely monitoring the situation outside.
Such a major event, causing a stir throughout the city, quickly reached Sun Lingtong’s ears.
He immediately realized that he could no longer use the old methods to contact Ning Zhuo. It was too dangerous.
Therefore, he immediately set off and first entered the Magma Immortal Palace to wait.
He felt that if Ning Zhuo wanted to contact him, he would definitely use this method.
Sure enough, he waited for Ning Zhuo! Ning Zhuo also contacted Sun Lingtong.
This was the tacit understanding that the two brothers had developed over a dozen years!
“This is not the place to talk,” Ning Zhuo first led Sun Lingtong all the way to the depths of the Magma Immortal Palace.
They first placed the Golden Blood Battle Ape·Great Victory in the previous checkpoint, and after ensuring that there was no one else in the room they were in, Ning Zhuo succinctly revealed the details.
Sun Lingtong’s reaction was as Ning Zhuo expected.
“Zhu Xuanji is investigating you now and has given you three days. Why not take advantage of this time to run away?”
“If you are found out, you will be severely punished by the laws of the Southern Bean Kingdom! The Ning family will definitely not be able to protect you; only the Non-Emptiness Sect is a relatively safe place.”
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time. Hearing Sun Lingtong’s suggestion, it couldn’t help but feel secretly anxious.
If Ning Zhuo ran away, what would happen to it?
At this time, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit didn’t dare to interrupt directly, and could only anxiously pace around in the main hall.
It secretly prayed, hoping that Ning Zhuo could do something good, even if he ran away early, he should at least deal with Ning Xiaohui first.
Ning Zhuo rejected Sun Lingtong’s suggestion.
“Sun Bro, you know I won’t give up easily!”
“The Magma Immortal Palace is of great significance to me.”
“And it’s not truly the end of the road yet.”
“I’ve already come up with some countermeasures.”
Sun Lingtong sighed. When he advised Ning Zhuo, he had already foreseen Ning Zhuo’s response.
“Tell me, what countermeasures do you have? What can I do to help you?”
Ning Zhuo told him to go to the secret base first and assemble the Golden Core-level mechanical ape.
As of now, the production projects assigned by Ning Zhuo had all been completed.
With the skeleton and armor already complete, Ning Zhuo could fill it with the mechanical components he obtained from the Magma Immortal Palace, assemble it, and obtain a Golden Core-level mechanical ape.
“Currently, we urgently need Golden Core-level combat power to guard against unforeseen events!”
Sun Lingtong nodded, “I’ll help you assemble it.”
The skeleton and armor were already in the underground secret base.
Handing over the mechanical components on Ning Zhuo’s person would be a bit troublesome.
But with the cooperation of the two brothers for more than a dozen years, as well as their rich experience in black market smuggling, it was just a matter of trouble, not an unsolvable problem.
“In addition to this, I also need Sun Bro to play Yang Chanyu once, and then play the Shadow Demon cultivator once.”
Sun Lingtong nodded, “I’m quite familiar with Yang Chanyu, no problem.”
“But the Shadow Demon cultivator… I haven’t seen him.”
Ning Zhuo then said, “I’ve seen him with my own eyes.”
“Since Fire Persimmon Mountain, I’ve had a premonition that I might have to use this identity to disguise myself and facilitate my actions. So I prepared some clothes in advance and hid them in the Underground Secret Base C.”
Ning Zhuo then told Sun Lingtong the specific location of these clothes.
As Sun Lingtong memorized the location, he couldn’t help but pat Ning Zhuo on the shoulder, “Prepare for the worst, indeed your style, not bad, not bad.”
Ning Zhuo continued, “Now, the True Scripture has been refined and has become a part of the Golden Blood Battle Ape.”
“But the True Scripture can and must exist!”
“Sun Bro, can you forge a copy of the True Scripture?”
“To gain the trust of others, we can also put the ninth-level Qi Refining Demon-Infused Blood Tendon Technique into it.”
Sun Lingtong thought for a while, “I will do my best to forge the True Scripture, but I can’t guarantee the specific practical effect.”
“After all, we want to deceive Golden Core-level figures, especially with Zhu Xuanji, the Divine Catcher, who possesses Celestial Golden Eyes.”
Ning Zhuo nodded and sighed up to the sky, “I understand! In the current situation, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.”
“If something happens to me, Sun Bro, please take the Golden Core-level Mechanical Ape and leave immediately.”
“I estimate that I will be detained by Zhu Xuanji, treated as a prisoner, and sent to the capital of the Southern Bean Kingdom for trial.”
“If you are still free, you may be able to find an opportunity to save me.”
“If possible, take Golden Blood Battle Ape·Great Victory and Nether Envoy·Qi Bai with you.”
“I also have some treasure troves; you know the specific addresses.”
“Oh right, I also have a Treasure Seal…”
Ning Zhuo was about to tell Sun Lingtong about the existence of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
But Sun Lingtong reached out and stopped him from continuing.
Sun Lingtong was a little angry, “Enough! Zhuo, we will definitely succeed this time.”
At this moment, Sun Lingtong showed strong confidence and a fighting will even more determined than Ning Zhuo.
“For more than a dozen years, our brothers have joined forces, and there’s never been anything we couldn’t accomplish!”
“So, we can overcome this difficulty as well.”
Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then laughed three times, patted Sun Lingtong on the shoulder, and said in an incomparably firm tone, “Sun Bro, you’re absolutely right!”
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong parted ways, and he went all out to explore the Demon Path.
Sun Lingtong then left him, and his spirit returned to his body.
“Zhuo…” When he was alone, Sun Lingtong’s face showed a worried look.
He knew that the last words Ning Zhuo had urged him to say were just to trick him into escaping alone.
This showed that Ning Zhuo had no confidence in overcoming this difficulty!
Sun Lingtong could completely understand.
Because if it were him, he would be even less confident than Ning Zhuo.
This situation was extremely dangerous.
“Zhuo not only has to face Zhu Xuanji’s investigation, but also faces the life-and-death problem of Ning Xiaohui.”
“His method is quite risky, and the forged True Scripture is the most critical prop.”
“Can I really do it?”
Thinking of this, Sun Lingtong became even less confident.
After all, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and it was the first time he had competed with a figure like Zhu Xuanji in this way.
“There is someone who is more talented than me.”
“Perhaps I should ask her for help?”
At this moment, Sun Lingtong thought of Yang Chanyu.
Yang Chanyu’s cultivation base was higher than his, and she was a Golden Core disciple of the Non-Emptiness Sect.
The Old Cicada Technique that Yang Chanyu practiced was even extremely good at disguise.
Once this thought appeared, Sun Lingtong could no longer suppress it.
He took a deep breath and quickly made a decision – to secretly seek Yang Chanyu’s help.
He secretly left the underground secret base alone, looked up at the sky and the sun, and thought that he had been staying in the underground secret base for the past period, and this time he finally saw the light of day.
He walked quietly in the alleys, followed the secret marks that ordinary people could hardly detect, and quickly found Yang Chanyu.
