Zheng Shuanggou: "If the Immortal Palace has not appeared, our three families will explore it secretly, and we are also ready to accept the Ning family."

"It is totally unreasonable for the City Lord's Mansion to take the initiative to destroy this good situation."

Zhou Nongying looked gloomy: "No, it's not like that."

"Before, when we explored the Immortal Palace, the City Lord's Mansion was at a clear disadvantage. Meng Kui was not allowed to enter the Immortal Palace, and neither were his left and right arms Chi Dun and Fei Si."

"They are not at an advantage at the Jindan level."

"That is, it only has a slight advantage over the mechanical cultivators in the foundation-building stage."

"In fact, it was your Zheng family that had the upper hand before!"

"The Immortal Palace was bombed, and its defenses were greatly reduced. The standard for recruiting monks was also lowered, down to the Qi training stage."

"And in the first level of Qi training, there are immortal resources in the City Lord's Mansion!"

"When the Lava Fairy Palace was bombed, Meng Kui personally went out to guard the volcano all day and sealed off the top of the volcano. For a period of time after that, we were isolated and could no longer enter the Fairy Palace to explore."

After hearing these words, all the Jindans were silent.

What Zhou Nongying said was true. From this perspective, the bombing of the Immortal Palace was completely beneficial to the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhou Nongying continued, "Once the Immortal Palace exploded, the appearance of the Dharma Bell and the trial level might have been beyond the expectations of the City Lord's Mansion."

"But the fact is: On the route of the soul entering the Immortal Palace, Meng Chong and the City Lord's Mansion's renovation team firmly occupy the top ten places on the list!"

“Perhaps, this route for the soul to enter the Immortal Palace was already in the plan of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

"After all, the City Lord's Mansion discovered the Lava Fairy Palace many years before us."

"If they have obtained the Demonic Scripture, this is further proof that they know many secrets that we don't know!"

Zheng Shuanggou couldn't help but clench his fists and said indignantly: "This old thief is insidious!"

"The black shadow demon cultivator is actually from the City Lord's Mansion! I once took the initiative to apologize to the City Lord's Mansion for my poor guarding."

"Meng Kui didn't blame me much at the time. I admired his magnanimity. It's really ironic now!"

Zhou Nongying sighed and said, "After Meng Kui took office, have our three families had an easy life?"

"He is one of the four generals of the Meng family. He is known as a wise general. When it comes to playing tricks and manipulating our minds, we are no match for him."

Zheng Danjian clapped his hands with his fist: "That makes sense!"

"The City Lord's Mansion has long wanted to blow up the Immortal Palace and has been planning this for a long time."

"They had already investigated the future and prepared for it. At this time, Ning Zhuo took out the mechanical monkey at the right time."

"Chen Cha reported this to Fei Si. Perhaps Fei Si suddenly had an idea and decided to use Ning Zhuo and the explosive monkey."

"He instigated Chen Cha behind the scenes to sell the mechanical monkeys to the market. As a result, the detective had to use the method of tracing the source to investigate the real culprit. He would have to face countless clues and waste endless time and energy."

"If Lord Zhu eventually finds Ning Zhuo, then Ning Zhuo is also a member of the Ning family. This way, we can also throw dirty water on the Ning family."

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly when he heard this: "This is Fei Si's style of doing things. He is always so cunning and vicious!"

Zheng Danjian continued to analyze: "Using fire spirit to blow up the Immortal Palace also has its benefits."

"With the means of the City Lord's Mansion, it is easy to secretly purchase fire essences on a large scale from the market and then erase the records of the purchase."

"In fact, they don't need to do that at all. Because they pick fire persimmons every year. Fire persimmons are another form of fire spirit."

"As long as they secretly make use of the annual storage loss of fire persimmons, they can get a batch of fire persimmons. After a little processing, they can get a large amount of fire essence. If they operate in this way, we have no way to investigate!"

Zheng Shuanggou had been thinking, and now he looked confused: "Wait. There is one thing I can't figure out."

"Since the Lava Fairy Palace was blown up by the City Lord's Mansion, then why did the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator appear again in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City and be chased by Chi Dun? He could have retired after achieving his goal. Isn't this just a waste of time?"

Zheng Danjian fell silent, he couldn't figure this out either.

At this time, Zhou Nongying laughed and said, "I understand! This is the ingenuity of the City Lord's Mansion's plan!"

"Under Meng Kui's rule, a dark shadow demon cultivator appeared in Huoshi Xiancheng and blew up the Xian Palace. This is disadvantageous to Meng Kui and a stain on his political achievements."

"At the same time, the black shadow demon cultivator is also the most obvious clue. In the future, it will definitely be investigated by the people of the Divine Investigation Department."

"So the City Lord's Mansion arranged for the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator to reappear after bombing the Immortal Palace and confront Chi Dun in public."

"Chi Dun chased him into the Fire Persimmon Forest. On the one hand, this demonstrated the ability of the City Lord's Mansion and highlighted the incompetence of Fellow Daoist Zheng Shuanggou. On the other hand, it also created the impression in the minds of the public that the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was in conflict with the City Lord's Mansion."

"We didn't know that this was just a show arranged by the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Chi Dun wanted to chase into the Fire Persimmon Forest and start a battle with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, but was stopped by Fei Si."

"After that, Fei Si secretly let the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator go. He was in charge of all the magic arrays in the Fire Persimmon Forest, so this was an extremely easy task for him."

"As for whether Chi Dun knew about it... I am familiar with his personality and tend to think that he did not know about it."

"If he knew this secret, it would be very difficult for him to hide it. His expression and tone would reveal the secret. So I boldly guess that this conspiracy was led by Faith."

Ning Jiufan also figured it out, and continued, "It is precisely because the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was released by Feisi in advance that we cannot find this person in the Fire Persimmon Forest."

"Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we won't find any trace of him."

"During the entire process, Master Zhu Xuanji has been using his divine eyes to investigate. It doesn't make sense that he couldn't find a black shadow demon cultivator with such means."

"After this incident, the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City's top leaders lost face. No one knows how the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator disappeared and where he went."

"But it is precisely because of this that the City Lord's Mansion was cleared of suspicion."

After analyzing this, Ning Jiufan frowned again and murmured, "But why did the City Lord's Mansion kill Yuan Dasheng in public?"

Zhou Nongying smiled slightly: "Who would have thought that Yuan Dasheng's death was caused by the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I think they attacked Yuan Dasheng in order to create the illusion that the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was still present at the time, so that they could spread the responsibility for the incident evenly among us all."

"In addition to this reason, the attack on Yuan Dasheng was of course for the magic skills and scriptures on him."

Ning Jiufan frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to kill Yuan Dasheng in public? If I were Fei Si, I would be more cautious and choose to do it secretly after the Fire Persimmon Festival."

Zhou Nongying said: "Perhaps, they discovered the true magic skills at that time. In order to avoid any more trouble, they took action immediately!"

"Or maybe, they had already discovered the secret of Yuan Dasheng and succeeded in advance. They killed Yuan Dasheng at the Fire Persimmon Festival in order to eradicate all clues."

"However, what they didn't expect was that this premeditated murder turned out to be an accident."

"And this accident happened to our Lord Zhu Xuanji."

Having said that, Zhou Nongying and the others all turned their eyes to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: "At that time, I was grateful for Yuan Dasheng's loyalty, so I chose to show up and personally save its life."

"I remember very clearly that when I asked Faith to open the magic circle, he was very reluctant and didn't want to obey my order."

"I did save Yuan Dasheng's life. But in the end, Fei Si succeeded."

"He gave the badge to Ning Zhuo and took advantage of Ning Zhuo's selfishness to get him to come forward. The latter came to the Monkey Head Gang's base and persuaded Yuan Er to watch the dying man die, which eventually caused Yuan Dasheng to be seriously injured and die."

"Now it seems that this is a small flaw left by Faith."

After a pause, Zhu Xuanji continued, "When Yuan Dasheng died, Yuan Er and Ning Zhuo were both present. If the true scriptures were leaked at that time, Yuan Er should have known about it."

"Ning Zhuo took Yuan Dasheng's body and immediately rushed to Chen Cha's mechanical workshop. When we arrived, they had already dealt with the essence and blood."

"Now that I think about it, we were just a step late. If we had been a little faster, maybe we would have been able to find the clues."

Zhu Xuanji sighed and felt very regretful.

If it had been a little faster, he wouldn't have been kept in the dark for so long.

The three Jindan cultivators were speechless for a while.

Because of the incident with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, they lost face greatly.

Now I see that the truth is unexpectedly like this! It turned out to be the work of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion is crying thief.

Although what happened at the Fire Persimmon Festival caused the City Lord's Mansion to lose face, they gained more.

On the one hand, they cleared themselves of suspicion. On the other hand, they also eliminated Yuan Dasheng.

"So, the City Lord's Mansion has obtained the true magic skills?" Zheng Danlian said.

"This is a magic skill of the Golden Core level. I don't know what it is, but it was created by the Three Sect Masters, so it must be an excellent skill."

When talking about the magic skills, all the Jindans couldn't help but reveal a hint of desire and curiosity.

"When was the true scripture taken away?" they continued to discuss.

"It may have been stolen secretly beforehand. After all, Yuan Dasheng is a fire-melting demon ape. How dare he announce that his magic skills were stolen in the immortal city of the human race?"

"I tend to think it was during the Fire Persimmon Festival. After all, Yuan Dasheng's mistake is very strange now."

"Fei Si from the City Lord's Mansion has been in control of the Fire Persimmon Forest's formation and is fully capable of disguising it, making us all believe that this was Yuan Dasheng's mistake."

"The explosion caused by the mistake also obscured our vision for a while."

Zhu Xuanji suddenly said: "Do you know that Yuan Er also died not long after."

"After that, the entire Monkey Head Gang was conquered by Ning Zhuo. Now they have become his subordinates, helping him to manage the black market."

In an instant, similar thoughts emerged in the minds of the three Jindan ancestors - to kill and silence the witnesses! To destroy the bodies and cover up all traces!

"The City Lord's Mansion wants to destroy all clues."

"Then why is Ning Zhuo okay?"

"Yes, if I were Fei Si, I would have planned so many things, even if it was just to use Ning Zhuo, even if Ning Zhuo was unaware of it, but he was also involved in so much. For the sake of safety, I would still have to kill Ning Zhuo."

Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly: "You seem to have forgotten that not long after the Fire Persimmon Festival, the talented cultivators from your three families were assassinated at the same time."

"Meng Chong was assassinated, but he dealt with the opponent assassin perfectly."

"The loss to you three families is huge."

"Ning Zhuo was also assassinated. His entire residence was blown up, but he luckily managed to survive."

“I participated in the investigation at the time, and I always had a strange feeling in my heart.”

"Looking back now, I finally understand where those weird feelings came from."

"The assassinations suffered by other talented monks were either assassinations or poisonings. These are all controllable."

"Only Ning Zhuo was hit by the explosion, and the way he was attacked was completely different from the others."

"If the City Lord's Mansion attacked the other talented cultivators just to slow down their exploration progress, then the murderous intent towards Ning Zhuo is quite obvious. Obviously, they want to put Ning Zhuo to death."

At this point, Zhu Xuanji glanced around and said, "I have explained everything that needs to be explained to you."

"Now you should know clearly why I went to look for Ning Zhuo in such a high-profile manner."

There was silence in the hall.

"To alert the enemy."

"Lure the snake out of its hole!"

Zhou Nongying and Zheng Danlian spoke at the same time, each speaking a sentence.
