Chapter 240 Long Zhuojun

"not good!"

The gray-clothed old man's pupils contracted violently, and at the moment his right arm hit the ground, his body suddenly rolled backwards, barely avoiding Linglongsi's second attack.

At the same time, without thinking, he cast a strange blood-colored talisman, and the arm that fell to the ground in the distance suddenly shrank quickly. A wisp of blood was instantly refined and turned into a blood-colored figure that pounced on Ning Daoran who broke out of the ground.

"go!"

Ning Daoran activated the Changqing Jue, and a spiritual pressure spread out like an overwhelming force, not distinguishing between friend and foe. The bloody afterimage was the first to be crushed into powder, followed by the gray-clothed old man and Lin Man who were also suppressed!

"you……"

The old man in gray was horrified, his face turned pale, and he quickly bit his tongue, using his own blood essence to break through the spiritual pressure. At the same time, he raised his hand and threw Lin Man from his shoulder over.

"ah……"

The Jindan cultivator threw his all out at an extremely fast speed, and Lin Man was terrified.

Ning Daoran spun around, and the Changqing Jue instantly split into two. One half turned into soft vines, catching Lin Man's body, and the other half turned into dozens of vine green snakes, which flew along the ground and headed straight for the old man in gray.

“Not good!”

The gray-clothed old man's pupils flickered continuously. After a quick fight, he knew that Ning Daoran not only had greater spiritual pressure than himself, but also had superb magic skills that could crush him in the same way.

Without thinking, he quickly slapped his storage bag, and suddenly a huge monster appeared in front of him. It was actually a third-level low-grade puppet, a fiery red mechanical snake about ten meters long.

The red mechanical snake suddenly leaped up, and its body swam rapidly left and right to avoid the attack of Changqing Jue, and headed straight for Ning Daoran.

This mechanical snake was extremely fast. It moved rapidly left and right, and suddenly opened its bloody mouth to swallow Ning Daoran's left arm.

"You wish!"

Ning Daoran waved his arm, and the powerful power of the Changqing Jue was madly poured into the Wanxiang Yunlei Armor. Suddenly, the armor glowed brightly and enveloped his whole body. He used the arm armor to resist the swallowing of the mechanical snake!

“Crack!”

The sharp teeth of the mechanical snake actually penetrated a little bit of the Changqing Jue magic power, which just hit the arm armor transformed from the Wanxiang Yunlei Armor, making a teeth-grinding squeaking sound.

Ning Daoran's heart trembled. This mechanical snake was so powerful! Its sharp fangs should be made from the teeth of some third-level snake monster. Fortunately, the Wanxiang Yunlei Armor was a third-level magic weapon-level inner armor, which was strong enough. Otherwise, if it was replaced with an ordinary spiritual weapon inner armor, it would have been bitten through by the fangs! Ning Daoran said nothing, raised his right fist as big as a sandbag, which was full of twenty layers of Changqing Jue's power, and "bang bang bang" several consecutive punches landed on the head of the mechanical snake at close range.

For a moment, the magic power eroded and continuously impacted the puppet structure of the mechanical snake. In a blink of an eye, the head of the mechanical snake was sunken, and the magic power fluctuations disappeared, and it lay limply.

Third-order puppet, slightly damaged, a good thing!

Ning Daoran raised his hand, put the mechanical snake into his bag, and tapped the Lingpu Cave to release the white deer.

"Old Deer, guard Master Lin Fu!"

As he spoke, Ning Daoran cast a spell and plunged into the mud, continuing to chase the gray-clothed old man! ...

Underground, the array-devouring bugs that were gnawing at the formation had been taken away, and the damaged parts of the cave's restrictions were filled with the aura of the gray-clothed old man's golden elixir. The man had already fled and disappeared without a trace.

Ning Daoran released his spiritual sense, jumped up from the ground, and appeared on the street of Bailong Immortal City, but he had lost the breath of the gray-clothed old man. The other party seemed to have practiced some kind of breath-retaining method, and because of the sluggishness of the mechanical snake, he had escaped too far away, and Ning Daoran could not sense him with the strength of his spiritual sense.

"Senior Ning!"

Several patrolling monks landed from the sky, and the one leading them was none other than Chen Wen, who had led Ning Daoran into the city.

Chen Wen was stunned: "Senior Ning, what happened?"

Ning Daoran frowned and asked, "Did you see a Jindan cultivator in a grey robe walking in a hurry just now?"

"No."

Another cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building asked: "Why did Master Ning chase this person?"

"The underground restriction of Master Lin Fu's cave was eaten through by a Array Devouring Bug. Unfortunately, that person was too cunning and I was unable to catch up with him."

"I see."

A bearded monk said, "Senior Ning, please wait a moment. I will report to the city lord immediately. Someone is trying to cause trouble in the city. This kind of thing will never be tolerated in White Dragon Immortal City!"

"good."

Ning Daoran nodded and immediately returned to Lin Man’s cave.

As for the words like "White Dragon Immortal City will never tolerate evil doings in the city", he personally thought that such words were just for listening. Why did these patrolling monks appear here by such a coincidence, as if it was arranged in advance.

Everything is probably not as simple as it seems.

…

Inside the cave.

The big stupid deer stood beside Lin Man and did not move an inch.

Although Lin Man was frightened, she had regained her composure and said with a slight frown, "Fellow Daoist Ning, thank you for saving my life. I will definitely repay you!"

"Master Lin Fu, you're welcome."

Ning Daoran waved his hand and said, "Unfortunately, I failed to catch up with that person, nor did I find out his identity."

"well……"

Lin Man frowned and said, "It seems that even though I have lived here for a long time and possessed the third-level talisman skills, I still offended someone after all."

Ning Daoran remained silent and just continued to help Lin Man check the restrictions in the cave.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside, and a strong voice came: "Master Lin Fu, I am Long Zhuojun. I heard that Master Lin Fu's cave was breached by someone with array-devouring insects. Master Lin Fu, please open the cave's restrictions. I have ordered the seal of the Immortal City, and this person will never escape."

Lin Man raised her hand, and the restrictions in the cave were immediately dissipated.

Outside, a burly man wearing a deep red majestic armor walked in. This man had extremely vigorous blood and energy, and at first glance he looked like a ball of burning fire. Although he had no magic power, he had his own aura of oppression.

Long Zhuojun, the lord of Bailong Immortal City, is a warrior in the late Baodan realm.

It is said that this person is extremely powerful. Once he gets close, his strength is very close to the quasi-Nascent Soul stage.

Following behind Long Zhuojun were two Jindan cultivators and several late foundation building cultivators. Even a middle foundation building cultivator like Chen Wen was not qualified to follow closely behind him.

"Master Lin Fu, I'm sorry to have frightened you. This is due to my negligence. I, Long Zhuo, apologize here!"

Long Zhuojun clasped his fists lightly and lowered his waist very low.

He was very humble towards Lin Man. In fact, even if Lin Man was a third-rank talisman master, she would not have to be so. After all, the gap between the late stage of foundation building and the late stage of core-holding was too huge, so huge that Lin Man could not even see Long Zhuojun's back at this moment.

Ning Daoran frowned.

It seems that the rumors spread by everyone in the Immortal City are true. The Dragon City Lord is extremely in love with Lin Man, but his repeated attempts to win her over have been rejected by Lin Man, and he has not succeeded so far.

"You don't have to be so polite, City Lord. Lin Man can't bear it."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Man nodded, her expression extremely calm.

Long Zhuojun slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Ning Daoran. The aura of a martial artist in the late Baodan stage was surging, and he saw through Ning Daoran's cultivation in an instant.

He was an early Jindan stage, with a Jindan early stage spirit beast, and the information he had was exactly the same.

"This person must be Master Ning, right?"

Long Zhuojun clasped his fists lightly: "Although I have never met you in person, I have heard of your great name a long time ago. There are not many high-level formation masters in Bailong Immortal City. Your presence in Bailong Immortal City is like a timely help. I would like to thank you on behalf of Bailong Immortal City."

"You are too polite, Lord."

Ning Daoran nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.

Long Zhuojun immediately stepped forward and took the two Jindan cultivators with him to check the missing parts of the formation.

"It is indeed the work of the Array Devouring Insect."

One of the Jindan elders raised his hand and sucked out a piece of forbidden material from the ground. It had been half eaten. He frowned and said, "Array Devouring Insects are extremely rare. Who actually possesses this insect and uses it to deal with Master Lin Fu? What is his intention?"

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly!"

Long Zhuojun said in a dignified manner: "Otherwise, what can I say to Master Lin Fu?"

"Yes, City Lord!"

Everyone clasped their fists together and immediately began to collect materials. A few people who looked like captains of the police came over to ask Ning Daoran about the specific situation at that time. Ning Daoran just gave a brief account and directly skipped the matter of the third-order puppet mechanical snake.

That mechanical snake was a good thing, and it was possible to repair it, so he had no intention of handing it over.

As for whether the investigation in Bailong Immortal City can find the old man in gray, Ning Daoran is reserved about it.

"Master Lin Fu."

Long Zhuojun said: "Since the restriction of this cave has been destroyed, it is the fault of White Dragon Immortal City. The responsibility lies with the Immortal City. All the repair costs will be borne by the Immortal City. However, Master Lin Fu has no place to practice during the period of repairing the formation. How about this? Long has a few caves on the third-level spirit vein. If Master Lin Fu does not mind..."

"You are so polite, Lord."

Lin Man's beautiful eyes were like water. She glanced at Ning Daoran who was not far away and said, "I plan to ask Master Ning to repair the cave's restrictions. He is a second-level upper-grade array master. It is not a problem for him to refine such restrictions. If the city lord feels sorry for it, he can give Master Ning the spirit stones for repairing the cave's restrictions."

"It's natural..."

The corner of Long Zhuojun's mouth twitched, and he said to an official of the Immortal City who was in the late stage of foundation building: "I will record it later. All the expenses of Master Ning's repair of the formation will be borne by the Immortal City."

"Yes, City Lord!"

"Master Lin Fu..."

Long Zhuojun seemed to see Lin Man's impatience and said, "In that case, we will not disturb you anymore. Once there is any news about the murderer, Xiancheng will notify Master Lin Fu as soon as possible. We will leave immediately."

"Farewell, City Lord."

Lin Man nodded, bowed, and watched Long Zhuojun and others leave.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people and one deer left in the cave.

Lin Man restarted the ban, revealing a helpless expression.

Ning Daoran's attention was entirely on the restrictions. He had already figured out how to repair and reinforce the formation of Lin Man's cave residence. He would add twenty more layers of restrictions to the original ten. Furthermore, he would need to set up several interconnected restrictions. Once one of the restrictions was attacked, the other restrictions would issue an early warning. In this way, even if the array-eating insects came again, he would be able to foresee the attack.

Of course, these clever tricks were all figured out by Ning Daoran himself after he was promoted to a third-rank formation master. He might be mediocre in other aspects, but only in the art of formations, he is a true genius.

…

On the main street in the city.

Long Zhuojun was wearing armor and walking with an old man in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. With their lips moving slightly, the two of them communicated in secret.

"Master Ning Zhen and Lin Man have been so close, when did this start?"

"I don't know..."

“…”

Long Zhuojun frowned and said, "Calmly check the background of Master Ning Zhen. I won't allow anyone to take Lin Man away from me!"
