His cultivation has reached the Golden Core level, and he is also a member of the royal family and a famous detective throughout the country. His every move will attract attention.

Now his big move has already caused a stir in the whole city.

Countless people are curious and doubtful about this: What exactly happened that made Lord Zhu Xuanji make such a big fuss?

Soon, the rumor spread wildly, and Ning Zhuo came into everyone's sight.

Although Ning Zhuo was only a minor cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, a closer look revealed that he was of high status.

He possesses a mysterious talent and has emerged and become very popular in recent times.

Not only did he bring down the young patriarch of the Ning family's main line, but he also made remarkable and amazing achievements in exploring the Lava Fairy Palace.

Even Ning Jushu, the Ning family's Golden Core ancestor, is very optimistic about Ning Zhuo and publicly stated that Ning Zhuo has made contributions to the Ning family.

On one side is Zhu Xuanji, and on the other side is Ning Zhuo.

What exactly happened between these two people that made Zhu Xuanji act like this?

For a time, people all over the city were very curious about the inside story.

After Zhu Xuanji returned to his residence, he gave an order and summoned the three Jindan ancestors.

The three Jindan ancestors were curious about Zhu Xuanji's behavior, and when they were summoned by the latter, they happily went there.

Soon, they all gathered in front of Zhu Xuanji.

After the trip to the Fire-Melting Demon Ape's lair, their relationship became even closer.

They and Zhu Xuanji are natural allies.

Because the position of the three major cultivation families in Huoshi Xiancheng is to unite with the Nandou royal family to fight against the Meng family! If Zhu Xuanji of the royal family can become the master of Lava Xiangong, then Huoshi Xiancheng can still maintain its original state.

If the Meng family controls the master of the Lava Fairy Palace, then the entire Meng family's power will massively erode the Fire Persimmon Fairy City.

Eventually, this city will become the private property of the Meng family. By then, the three families will have no living space and will be squeezed out.

In the reception room.

Zhu Xuanji looked solemn, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here."

“I know everyone has questions in their minds.”

"Before we discuss this in detail, please sign this pledge first."

As he spoke, Zhu Xuanji took out a scroll from his arms.

The scroll is of very high specifications, at the level of a magic weapon, and its shape resembles an edict of the Nandou royal family.

When you unfold the scroll, you will find that there is an extremely fine array on the surface of the scroll. Occasionally, you can see dense array patterns flashing by in a certain direction of the light.

Even for the three Jindan ancestors, it was the first time they saw a contract treasure of such quality.

Zhu Xuanji continued, "Everyone present, please use this scroll in front of everyone and swear that you have nothing to do with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator."

When these words were spoken, the three Jindan families were all surprised.

Recently, Zhu Xuanji has stopped investigating the bombing of the Immortal Palace.

His focus has changed, and he is now fully committed to exploring the Fairy Palace and gaining more merit and contribution.

How come the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was suddenly involved? Although they didn't understand what Zhu Xuanji was up to, the three Jindan ancestors still followed his request, holding the scrolls of the decree one by one and swore an oath in public.

Seeing that the oath was established, Zhu Xuanji's expression eased a little.

"It is true."

He slowly put away the decree and said to everyone, "Since none of you have any secret involvement with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, then I will speak clearly."

"The source of all this is this bloody road map."

Zhu Xuanji took out the blood path map and handed it to everyone to look at.

This blood path map is of very high quality, it is at the level of a magic weapon, and its surface is very smooth.

Zheng Shuanggou, the Jindan cultivator of the Zheng family, was the first to notice the clue and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Such a high-level blood road map should have recorded a true scripture."

"True Scripture?!" Everyone was surprised.

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly and admitted, "That's right."

"This blood path map is a mechanical component. I took it out from the body of the Mechanical Demon General."

"The Mechanical Demon General itself does not have any spirituality. But it has this map and the scripture, so it can operate the contents of the scripture and perform the skills."

"The Mechanical Demon General is confirmed to be at the Jindan level, which means that the magic skills scripture on this board is at least at the Jindan level."

Everyone was greatly excited when they heard this.

Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and said, "The Third Sect Master had a life full of ups and downs and he practiced three techniques at the same time, which is rare in history. It's not surprising that he would leave behind some magic skills."

The Jindan Patriarch of the Zhou Family said, "I have heard of the so-called Three Sects Supreme Methods a long time ago. The Three Sects Supremes left behind a mechanism inheritance in the Lava Immortal Palace, and the most valuable one is the Three Sects Supreme Methods. In addition to the Five Elements Qi Law, there are two other techniques that correspond to the three Dantians in the human body."

"As long as the three techniques are practiced together, the foundation of the three dantians can be formed."

"Now that the Five Elements Qi Law has been revealed, perhaps the magic skills on this blood road map are also one of the three supreme methods?"

Zhu Xuanji nodded with a faint smile on his face.

"I think the same as you do."

"I am also quite curious about the contents of the true scripture recorded on this blood road map."

"If I can get it, maybe I can get a glimpse of the Three Sects' Supreme Law and confirm whether this rumor is true."

"So, I used the Root Tracing Technique on this blood road map."

"I got a crucial clue - in the early years, a little monkey accidentally came into contact with a damaged mechanical demon general.

"When they touched, the magic scripture took the initiative to throw itself into the little monkey's arms and entered his body."

"I want to retrieve the scriptures, but I don't know what the little monkey looks like now."

"So seven days ago, I secretly wrote a letter to the royal family of Nandou, asking for help."

"The royal monks helped me deduce what the little ape would look like when it was grown up and old."

"With this image clue, I can make use of the Fire Melting Demon Ape tribe in Huoshi Mountain and let them help me with the investigation and search."

Having said that, Zhu Xuanji couldn't help but look at Ning Jushan.

Ning Jiufan's face darkened slightly, and he immediately understood what Zhu Xuanji meant.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Since the last time he explored the bottom of Huoshi Mountain, he had become a guest of honor and was very popular among the largest group of Fire Fusion Demon Apes.

If he were to come forward with this image clue and seek help, the Fire Melting Demon Ape tribe would most likely help him.

Relying solely on verbal communication, the intelligence of the Fire-Merging Demon Ape tribe may be difficult to clearly understand.

But with this image, they had clear and unmistakable content for their investigation.

Zhu Xuanji continued: "I received a reply from the royal family today."

“Thus, we also know what the little ape looks like when it grows up and becomes old.”

"The result surprised me - the little ape turned out to be Yuan Dasheng!"

"Yuan Dasheng?" The Jindan ancestors looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard of the name of this little man.

Ning asked, "Since Lord Zhu knows it, where is the ape now?"

"Yuan Dasheng!" Zhou Family's Golden Core Patriarch frowned, his face showing a strange expression, "It's dead."

The other Jindan ancestors couldn't help but look at him.

Then, Zhou Jia Jindan recounted in detail a series of events that happened during the Fire Persimmon Festival.

At that time, the black shadow demon cultivator disappeared. The City Lord's Mansion led the Golden Core ancestors to dig three feet deep in the ground, but they still couldn't find the demon cultivator, which made the top leaders of the entire Huo Shi Xian City lose face.

Zhou Jia Jindan suspected that there was a person hidden in Yuan Dasheng's body, so he went to the Monkey Head Gang with Fei Si and Zhu Xuanji to find out.

As a result, when they learned there that Yuan Dasheng was dead, they went to the flying disc mechanism workshop and confirmed Yuan Dasheng's body.

"So, Yuan Dasheng's body finally fell into Ning Zhuo's hands?" Ning Jiufan was stunned.

Zheng Shuanggou suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! So when Lord Zhu found out it was Yuan Dasheng, he immediately set out to find Ning Zhuo and retrieve the true scriptures."

Zhu Xuanji nodded: "But I didn't find it back. Ning Zhuo told me that he knew nothing about it."

The three Jindan families looked at each other.

The Zhou family's Jindan Patriarch pondered and said, "Lord Zhu has a natural golden eye and many magics that can detect lies. We can't cover up our lies."

"Ning Zhuo is only at the third level of Qi Refining. He said he knew nothing about it, so it must be true."

"So, where did the scriptures go?"

Zheng Shuanggou was full of doubts: "Yes, if the true scripture is not with Ning Zhuo, then where is it?"

Zhu Xuanji said at this time: "This is the main reason why I asked you to come here and sign the oath in public."

At this point, Zhu Xuanji held the contract decree in his hand and swore in public: "What I am going to say next may not be the truth, but most of it is my personal experience, and there is not the slightest element of lying.

After saying this, Zhu Xuanji took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"We all know that Ning Zhuo is the inventor of the Mechanical Fire Monkey. He once took out an incomplete Mechanical Fire Monkey and asked Chen Cha, the owner of the Frisbee Workshop, for advice. Chen Cha was recruited by Fei Si. After that consultation, Chen Cha reached an agreement with Ning Zhuo that his Mechanical Workshop would be responsible for producing the Mechanical Fire Monkey and selling it to the outside world."

"Not long after, the black shadow demon cultivator tried to approach the Lava Fairy Palace, but was discovered by Fellow Daoist Zheng Shuanggou. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. During the fierce battle, a fire monkey carrying a large amount of fire essence bombarded the Fairy Palace, causing the Lava Fairy Palace to appear ahead of schedule, and the sound of the Dharma transmission bell resounded throughout the city."

"Daoyou Zheng Shuanggou personally rescued Ning Zhuo and other Ning family cultivators. Not long after, a black shadow demon cultivator appeared near the dungeon. Chi Dun attacked and tried to hunt him down, but the black shadow demon cultivator broke into the fire persimmon forest. Fei Si stepped forward to protect the fire persimmon forest and stopped Chi Dun from continuing to chase him."

"I started investigating the Mechanical Monkey, but found that this mechanical creation can be seen everywhere in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and the sales are quite hot. I also investigated the sales channels of the Fire Spirit and found that there are no records of large-scale purchases in the market."

"When I was struggling to find any clues, Chi Dun persuaded me and Fei Si invited me to take action during the Fire Persimmon Festival to target the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator. I agreed to their request."

"It was the Fire Persimmon Festival... Everyone present participated and saw Yuan Dasheng of the Monkey Head Gang being attacked by a dozen explosive monkeys. The attack was unsuccessful."

"But after that, when Yuan Dasheng was picking the persimmon, he made an inexplicable mistake, which caused a horrible explosion. During the explosion, I observed through my golden eyes that Yuan Dasheng wanted to use his magic to protect himself, but was suppressed by it. It seemed that he didn't want to implicate the son of his former owner."

"I was grateful for its loyalty, so I showed up in public and ordered Feisi to open the formation. Feisi was reluctant at first, but he opened the passage only after I forced him to do so. After I entered, I treated Yuan Dasheng. The latter had a glimmer of hope, but fell into a coma, and was then carried back to the gang's base by the Monkey Head Gang."

"Feisi handed his badge to Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo carried the badge and went deep into the Monkey Head Gang's base. He persuaded Yuan Er with words and refused to save Yuan Dasheng. Yuan Dasheng eventually died of a serious illness, and Ning Zhuo took his body away."

"We searched for the black shadow demon cultivator in the Fire Persimmon Forest, but we couldn't find any trace of him. Fellow Daoist Zhou suspected that there was someone hiding in Yuan Dasheng's body, so he went with me and Fei Si to investigate."

"We went to the Monkey Head Gang's base first and learned that Yuan Dasheng was dead and his body was taken away by Ning Zhuo. We then immediately went to Chen Cha's mechanical workshop. When we arrived, all of Yuan Dasheng's blood had been drained out of his body."

hiss……

The three Jindans all took a deep breath.

They all understood! "It was the City Lord's Mansion!?" Zheng Shuanggou had an expression of disbelief on his face, "So, the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is from the City Lord's Mansion, and it was them who blew up the Immortal Palace. Why?"

Zheng Shuanggou looked puzzled: "Before this, the Meng family and my Zheng family and Zhou family secretly united and reached a contract privately. It was already discussed."
