Zhu Xuanji did this on purpose. He just wanted to let the City Lord's Mansion know that Ning Zhuo was exposed! Zhu Xuanji caught this clue, which was equivalent to catching the tail of the City Lord's Mansion, forcing the City Lord's Mansion to eliminate Ning Zhuo, thus revealing a bigger flaw.

"I have a question." Zheng Shuanggou said, "If I were Feisi and I attacked Ning Zhuo once but failed, I would definitely attack him a second time."

"Why did you keep Ning Zhuo until now?"

Zhu Xuanji explained: "According to my current investigation, after Ning Zhuo was attacked, his house was destroyed, so he moved into the Ning family's land."

Zhou Nongying echoed: "The genius cultivators of our three families were all attacked. I remember that we took the initiative to invite Master Zhu to conduct this investigation."

"I guess at that time, the City Lord's Mansion was afraid of Lord Zhu's ability and felt that the situation was too tense, so they stopped for a while. This is quite normal."

Zhu Xuanji continued, "I did collect various clues, but they are exactly the same as the situation of my investigation into the Inferno Monkey. They are all meant to confuse me and distract me."

"So after that, I did not continue to follow these clues, but designed an investigation list and checked them one by one."

"Ning Zhuo has gradually come to the fore and has become more and more outstanding. It will be more difficult for the City Lord's Mansion to attack him than before. And in order to conceal their true purpose, it is impossible to assassinate only him. Otherwise, it would be easy for me to follow the clues and track him down."

"But now that I look back on it, maybe there was another reason."

"Ning Zhuo is good at scheming and has been actively trying to get close to Fei Si. He has shown his talent, and his situation is not well received, and he has been ostracized by the main branch of the Ning family. With this identity, he is actually very valuable to be won over."

"Perhaps Fei Si from the City Lord's Mansion saw this in him."

"He may also think that my focus is on the investigation list, and the investigation has strayed away from their key points, so he is no longer in a hurry to take action. Instead, he regards Ning Zhuo as a chess piece or wants to cultivate him into one of his own."

"Ning Zhuo is just a small figure. He is not the focus. He is just being used."

"The key point is now: I have discovered the suspicion on him and caught the City Lord's Mansion on the tail. If the City Lord's Mansion is determined to assassinate Ning Zhuo, it means that it has revealed a flaw. This is a great opportunity for us."

"This is also the reason why I summoned you this time."

"Last time, we explored together the Fire Melting Demon Ape's royal court at the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain."

"This time, let's work together to deal with the City Lord's Mansion!"

The three Jindan masters all had bright eyes and were filled with excitement.

"Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity!" Zheng Danlian nodded first.

Zheng Shuanggou clenched his fists and said, "Yes, yes."

He was the most excited of all the people present.

“Once the Meng family makes a serious mistake, then Lord Zhu will have a legitimate reason to ask the Nandou royal family to suppress the entire situation.”

"There is no need to even mobilize the power of the royal family. Meng Kui himself will surrender in the face of overwhelming evidence, unless he wants to rebel!"

The real crime of Meng Kui's side was not to kill Yuan Dasheng and take away the magic sect's true scripture, but to use Ning Zhuo to blow up the fairy palace! For the sake of the family's private interests, the Meng family put the entire Huoshi Fairy City's thousands of citizens in danger.

At the same time, they also created a black shadow demon cultivator and asked him to take the initiative to attack the Lava Fairy Palace. This was too ambitious and they wanted to keep the enemy at bay.

Such crimes completely break the bottom line of normality.

Zheng Shuanggou then said that this time he would follow Lord Zhu and take action together to deal with the City Lord's Mansion.

Zheng Shuanggou was quite angry.

He found that he was kept in the dark. His battle with the black shadow demon cultivator was completely within the calculations of the City Lord's Mansion.

The two Jindan cultivators of the Zhou family communicated secretly through voice transmission and discussed with each other for a while.

They all felt that this was indeed a good opportunity. If the Ramon family could be brought down, then Zhu Xuanji would be able to mobilize the power of the royal family, establish the destiny of the world in one fell swoop, and immediately become the master of the Lava Fairy Palace.

"The Meng family broke the bottom line and disregarded the rules in order to expand themselves. Fortunately, Lord Zhu was able to see through everything and collect enough evidence to make the truth known to the world."

"By then, we will have completely taken the lead and will be able to gain widespread recognition throughout the entire Nandou Kingdom. Even other families will join forces with the royal family to deal with the Meng family. Even if they don't join forces, they will just stand by and watch."

People’s hearts are the trend.

If the Meng family’s mistakes are exposed, the royal family will be able to create a big situation.

Under the crushing pressure of the general trend, the Meng family could hardly resist!

"If so, a behemoth like the Meng family will be severely weakened by me." Zhu Xuanji's heart was full of anticipation.

To weaken and attack these powerful cultivation clans has always been his political ambition!

This gave him full motivation for the next action.

Seeing that the Zhou and Zheng families had already expressed their stance, Ning Jufan slowly spoke.

"Ning Zhanji and others from my clan all died at the hands of the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator."

"And the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is from the City Lord's Mansion. My Ning family and the City Lord's Mansion have long been enemies!"

"Feisi is secretly trying to instigate Ning Zhuo to rebel and undermine my Ning family. This is really going too far."

"I am willing to assist Master Zhu with all my strength."

Ning Jufan was deeply hostile to Meng Kui.

The peach pit that happened to Meng Kui once smashed his head, leaving him a wound that he would have to lick for the rest of his life.

Ning Jufan had just expressed his position when a subordinate came to report outside the door that he had brought a jade slip with Ning Zhuo's letter.

Ning Zhuo was the most critical person at the moment, so Ning Jufan immediately asked his subordinates to present the letter and jade slip.

He used his spiritual sense to infuse it into the jade slip and immediately discovered that the jade slip was a confession.

In the letter, Ning Zhuo said vaguely that he and Fei Si had always maintained close contact in secret and had a considerable degree of exchange of interests.

Ning Zhuo also said: He has always been secretly worried about the hidden dangers of what he did.

Not long ago, Lord Zhu Xuanji suddenly came to investigate, which made him realize the seriousness of the matter.

But there were many things he couldn't say, so he asked the Ning family's ancestor for advice on what to do.

In addition, Ning Zhuo also asked about the magic scriptures.

Lord Zhu Xuanji specifically asked about the magic skills scripture, which must be very important. Ning Zhuo brought it up here, hoping to bring some help to Ning Jiufan.

At the end of the letter, Ning Zhuo pleaded, hoping that the ancestor of the Ning family would come to help him and save him.

"Rather than a confession, it's more like a letter asking for help!"

"Huh, this brat, what are you doing so early?"

"He was very bold and always did things that violated laws and disciplines. When something went wrong, he couldn't cover it up and came to find his parents."

After Ning Jufan finished reading the contents on the jade slip, he cursed a few times and then handed the jade slip to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji took a look at it and threw it back to him.

Ning Jufan handed the jade slip to other people and let them look at it.

Ning Jiufan took the opportunity to say, "Ning Zhuo is a member of my Ning family, and one of the most outstanding figures among the younger generation."

"Although his talent has not been tested so far, even the lowest talent cannot prevent him from being a genius."

Ning Jufan's words did not cause any objection.

All the Jindan cultivators present recognized Ning Zhuo's talent. They believed that this young man had a promising future, was very capable, ambitious, and motivated. What he lacked the most now was cultivation.

Ning Jiufan continued, "This time, we are going to use Ning Zhuo as bait to lure the City Lord's Mansion into taking a risk. Facing the City Lord's Mansion's assassination, Ning Zhuo's situation is quite dangerous."

"Please don't be stingy with your treasures, give us more support and protect his life."

"A talented young man like this would be the treasure and future of any family."

"I am the ancestor of the Ning family and the only golden elixir of the Ning family. I don't want Ning Zhuo to lose his life because of our plan."

The Jindan cultivators in the hall looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji remained silent.

Zhou Nongying suddenly said, "Brother Ning, we all have treasures. But using them to protect Ning Zhuo seems inappropriate."

"At present, our biggest advantage is that the City Lord's Mansion does not know how much evidence we have of their crimes!"

"It's a fraudulent tactic to trick them into taking a risk."

"If we heavily protect him and let him know the details... a young man like him, who is only sixteen years old, will inevitably have many loopholes."

"Chi Dun is fine, but Fei Si is an extremely shrewd person. He can sense the trap we set for him from the small flaws in Ning Zhuo."

"Facing such an opponent, we must go all out, so..."

Before Zhou Nongying could finish his words, Ning Jiufan interrupted him with a sneer.

"Ning Zhuo is not a member of your Zhou family. Sacrificing a talented cultivator from another clan will benefit both of you."

Zhou Nongying quickly retorted: "Even if he is a member of my Zhou family, I will make the same arrangement even if his talent is better than Ning Zhuo's."

"After all, this kid is guilty too!"

"If he hadn't developed the Inferno Monkey and actively cooperated with the City Lord's Mansion, would the Immortal Palace have been blown up? Would things have come to this point?"

Ning Jiufan shouted coldly: "Even if Ning Zhuo wasn't there, wouldn't the City Lord's Mansion have used other means to blow up the Immortal Palace?"

"Ning Zhuo is just too young, and he is also a member of a branch. As a marginal figure, he can only improve his cultivation and become stronger by constantly seeking resources."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"This is not a bad intention, nor is it a sin. It's just that this young man is too eager to make progress."

"Isn't it the same for all of us at this age? It's just that Ning Zhuo was taken advantage of by the bad guys. He is innocent."

Zhou Nongying sneered, pointing at the jade slip that Ning Zhuo had just delivered: "In this letter, Ning Zhuo has already confessed his guilt, and confessed frankly that he had long anticipated something bad was going to happen, and had been under great psychological pressure."

"He should have taken the initiative to report this matter to you, the ancestor of the Ning clan, earlier, but he didn't do so."

"He had a strong sense of luck."

"He clearly knew that he might be an accomplice to the crime, but he still wanted to conceal it."

“Isn’t such behavior a sin?”

Ning Jufan was about to speak and continue to refute.

At this time, the subordinates delivered another jade slip.

This jade slip was not sent by Ning Zhuo, but from Ning Xiaohui.

In fact, this was Ning Xiaohui reporting the good news to her grandmother. As a member of the main lineage, her grandmother immediately reported the situation to the head of the Ning family.

During this period of time, the main branch of the Ning family was firmly suppressed by Ning Zhuo alone, feeling extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Ning Xiaohui obtained the position of medical practitioner and achieved such significant progress and accomplishment. This was the achievement and good news that the entire Ning family urgently needed.

After hearing the news, the head of the Ning family burst into laughter, and his usual gloom was gone.

After pacing in the study for a few circles, he immediately made a decision to record this information in a jade slip and hand it over to the Ning family's ancestor, so as to gain some impression points for the Ning family's main line in the Ning family's mind.

These internal twists and turns are not what the Ning family's ancestor wants to pay attention to.

He infused his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, and after checking it, his eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a hint of joy.

"Ning Xiaohui is a good child." Ning Rufan stroked his beard.

He handed the jade slip to Zhu Xuanji again and said, "Master Zhu, this is completely good news."

After Zhu Xuanji infused his divine consciousness, his eyes lit up and he kept saying, "Great, great, great!"

"Today is a double blessing."

"Ning Xiaohui has the status of a trial disciple. We don't have this advantage."

"The position of medical practitioner that she obtained is not worthy of being obtained by outsiders like us, no matter how many merits we have made."

"etc."

"This history pavilion is quite important. It should record all the major events since the construction of Lava Fairy Palace."

"nice one!"

"Hurry up and let Ning Xiaohui accumulate merits so that she can be promoted to the head of the Shiji Pavilion as soon as possible!"

"The scene of the explosion of Lava Fairy Palace must have been recorded in the History Pavilion. This is the most solid evidence of the crime."

Zhou Nongying frowned slightly: "Even if the History Pavilion records the scene of the black shadow demon cultivator blowing up the Immortal Palace, we can't use this evidence to drag the Meng family down."

"Because on the surface, the Meng family has nothing to do with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator."

Zhu Xuanji nodded: "So, we still need to start from Ning Zhuo's line. Only by doing this two-pronged approach can we gain something."

Having said that, Zhu Xuanji turned his gaze to Ning Jiufan.

He said sincerely, "Brother Ning."

"I have confessed all my plans to you."

"Ning Zhuo is a member of your Ning family, so I went there in person for your sake, but I didn't torture him, let alone search his soul."

“This is my sincerity!”

"How could I, Zhu Xuanji, mistreat my meritorious officials?"

As a member of the Divine Police Department, Zhu Xuanji has a wide range of torture methods at his disposal.

But he is also a member of the royal family, and he is very aware of these methods. If he uses them himself, it would be really bad.

In the current situation, Zhu Xuanji came to Huoshi Xiancheng alone. If he wants to fight against the city lord Meng Kui, he must integrate the power of the three families, otherwise he will be alone and unable to make any move.

The previous battle with the Fire-Melting Ape was a successful operation.

During the action, Zhu Xuanji led by example and took on responsibility, making the three Jindan families feel his sincerity.

If, because of the Demonic Scripture, he disregarded the previous alliance and Ning Zusu's feelings and killed Ning Zhuo, then this behavior would be tantamount to killing the donkey after it has done its work, which would easily cause others to become alienated.

Especially in the volcano trip, Ning Jiufan was the biggest contributor!

Zhu Xuanji had just praised Ning Jiufan and affirmed his contribution, but then he attacked his people. In this case, who would still believe his praise and his promise?

Using soul-searching and interrogation as the first step is not Zhu Xuanji's style.

Hearing what Zhu Xuanji said, Ning Jiufan lowered his head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Master Zhu, please speak. I trust you."

Zhu Xuanji said, "Let Ning Zhuo make up for his crime and make meritorious contributions."

"The situation has come to this point. He has become a pawn. Even if we don't find the clues to this true scripture, his situation is still dangerous."

"To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about this little guy."

"As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it will become a useful object. So let him polish it more, that will be good."

"I can assure you: within these three days, I will disguise myself and stay by Ning Zhuo's side."

"Once the City Lord's Mansion takes action, even if it is the Dark Shadow Demon Cultivator himself, I will do my best to protect Ning Zhuo's life."

After saying this, Zhu Xuanji kept silent and just looked at Ning Rushan.

The hall fell into silence.

The four Jindan from the other two families also cast their glances toward Ning Jufan, silently exerting pressure on him.

Ning Jufan's face was solemn. He looked at the jade slip in his hand - this was the confession sent by Ning Zhuo.

He looked at the jade slip in Zhu Xuanji's hand again, which was a victory letter from Ning Xiaohui.

One is the branch vein and the other is the main vein.

At this moment, Ning Jufan's heart was touched, and he realized in a trance that he seemed to be facing some kind of fateful choice.

He had never met Ning Zhuo, but he had met Ning Xiaohui.

At this moment, his mind emerged with the instructions given to him by his old friend before his death - asking him to take good care of his descendants.

Ning Jufan sighed and made a decision: "Well, then I'll do as you say."
