On the top of the mountain, deep in the clouds.

The Lord of Huoshi Xiancheng sat cross-legged in the air and summoned his golden elixir subordinate Chi Dun.

Chi Dun was a middle-aged man who was blind in one eye. He was short in stature but strong with bulging muscles, like a walking stone pillar.

"Chi Dun, I order you to do your best to track down the black shadow demon cultivator." The city lord was sitting on a futon, with white smoke and black clouds rolling around him, just like the angry and gloomy emotions in his heart.

Chi Dun looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, if you give me an order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. But you know that my main training method is "Stone Heart Slowing Military Skill", so I am afraid I can't handle the heavy responsibility."

"It's okay." The city lord waved his hand slightly, and a magic weapon flew out from his sleeve.

This magic weapon is tender yellow all over, small and exquisite, and is a bell.

The bell flew towards Chi Dun, who quickly stretched out his hands to take it.

The city lord ordered: "With this warning bell, you will be able to track down the evil cultivator. Do your best!"

Chi Dun took his leave and, with the alarm bell ringing, headed to the prison.

"Start with the easy ones and then move on to the difficult ones. These Ning family cultivators are the parties involved. Let's interrogate them first. Otherwise, if the Ning family comes and takes them away later, it will be difficult to deal with."

"The dark shadow demon cultivator used them as a disguise to attract Zheng Shuanggou's attention. Maybe there is a demon cultivator inside?"

Although he thought so, Chi Dun also knew that the possibility was actually quite small.

However, he took the opportunity to use the magic alarm bell to familiarize himself with it as quickly as possible.

Ning Zhuo and others were originally rescued by Zheng Shuanggou and not arrested. As a result, the Immortal Palace appeared and the sound of the Dharma Bell resounded throughout the city, which caused a big commotion.

The city lord personally ordered that all the surviving monks, including them, be imprisoned.

On the one hand, he was interrogating them and looking for clues, and on the other hand, he was using his authority to force them to strictly keep the secret of the birth of the Asgard.

At this point, the city lord tried his best to remedy the situation and tried every means to cover up the secret of the Fairy Palace.

Chi Dun first picked the Ning family cultivators who were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and soon after, it was the turn of the Qi Refining Stage.

As one of them, Ning Zhuo was soon led into a single room and faced Chi Dun alone.

Chi Dun flipped through the notebook in his hand without even looking up. His spiritual sense had already enveloped Ning Zhuo's entire body. "Aren't you a member of the Monster Hunting Club? Why did you suddenly go to the Red Flame Monster Cave?"

Ning Zhuo swallowed, looked at Chi Dun with awe, then lowered his head the next moment, daring only to look at the ground.

He explained stutteringly, telling about his previous meeting with Ning Chen and Ning Yong, how he was provoked by their words, and then he talked about a lot of other things.

Chi Dun frowned as he heard this.

He was not at all interested in young monks like Ning Zhuo.

"This little fellow only has the third level of Qi Refining. He encountered something like this the first time he went down the molten cave. His luck is really terrible."

"No, he was lucky to survive. Most monks were stronger than him, but they lost their lives."

If Ning Zhuo was the only one alive, he would be quite conspicuous at this moment.

But the fact is not like that, there are three newcomers in the Qi Refining Stage who survived. Ning Chen and Ning Yong are both there.

"That black shadow demon cultivator first used the corpses of monsters to lure the Ning family members over, and then provoked a tide of monsters, all in order to conceal his own aura."

"He is purely using the Ning family cultivators as cannon fodder. The possibility that he has an accomplice in the Ning family is very small."

"If I were him, even if I were looking for an insider, I wouldn't look for a kid like this who is only at the third level of Qi Refining."

Of course, Chi Dun would not be so careless.

In fact, he had been pressing the alarm bell and activated the soul-searching array in the interrogation room.

The alarm bell can keenly detect malicious intent around it. If anyone in the Ning family has malicious intent towards Chi Dun, the alarm bell will sound a warning.

The Heart Questioning Array can tell whether a person is insincere.

As long as the words and the intentions do not match, the Heart-Searching Array will emit red and yellow light.

During the entire process of interrogating Ning Zhuo, the alarm bells and the questioning array were silent.

Originally, Chi Dun did not have much doubt about a small figure like Ning Zhuo. With the help of the alarm bell and the heart-searching array, he completely cleared his doubts.

"You can go out now." Chi Dun ordered Ning Zhuo, "Okay?"

He was slightly surprised.

Ning Zhuo had two nosebleeds.

Ning Zhuo was surprised for a moment, then he wiped his nose with the back of his hand and saw blood on it.

He waved his hands quickly: "My lord, it's okay, it's okay! It may be a hidden injury left in the molten cave, I'm fine. I feel fine now!"

Chi Dun hummed, stopped talking, and just waved.

Ning Zhuo bowed to Chi Dun, left quickly, opened the door gently, and closed it gently.

Chi Dun was about to interrogate the next person, but after a pause, he spread his consciousness and communicated with the guards outside the door: "Go and tell them to treat the Ning family's cultivators well. Have they been slacking off? How come there are still people with hidden injuries? Heal them all!"

Of course, if a cultivator from the Ning family was found to be in collusion with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, that would be another matter.

Ning Zhuo was taken away and immediately received a new round of treatment.

He had a nosebleed, which was naturally because he secretly activated my Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

This precious seal can leave a mark on their hearts, which can influence their thoughts externally and protect themselves internally, suppressing and clearing all kinds of thoughts and emotions.

It is to save others that one becomes a demon, and to save oneself that one becomes a Buddha.

Ning Zhuo was led back to the cell.

Before I even entered, I heard an argument in the cell.

The Ning family monks were having a heated discussion about the content of the bell sound transmission.

When Ning Zhuo walked into the cell, many Ning family monks turned to look at him. Seeing that Ning Zhuo was fine, some of them nodded to him slightly and then turned to participate in discussions and arguments.

During this trip to the lava cave, Ning Zhuo shared life and death with them, and their relationship became much closer.

Ning Chen and Ning Yong even stood up and came to Ning Zhuo's side, asking him with concern.

They were classmates and had a basic relationship.

Although they both followed Ning Zhanji's orders, Ning Zhuo did almost lose his life, so they both felt guilty about it.

It's not just guilt.

Ning Zhuo was afraid in the molten cave, but he still showed courage. At the moment of death, it also inspired the courage of Ning Yong and Ning Chen.

Such performance made Ning Chen and Ning Yong feel both friendly and respectful.

All these emotions and feelings caused a qualitative change in the two people's relationship with Ning Zhuo.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

"We are cultivators from the Ning family, and our ancestor is also a golden elixir. If someone uses any soul-searching technique on us, the family will definitely support us!"

Ning Chen and Ning Yong each spoke a sentence.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I was a little nervous when I first went in."

"But from beginning to end, I was never given any trouble."

"I think it's quite simple, just tell the truth."

He in turn comforted Ning Chen and Ning Yong.

"Okay." Ning Yong and Ning Chen responded at the same time.

The next moment, the guard called and sent both of them away.

Ning Zhuo walked into the cell and found his own place in the corner.

He had a small stool and a small table in front of him, on which were fruits, nuts and hot tea.

The same treatment was applied to other Ning family cultivators.

This is of course abnormal, and it’s all due to my identity as a member of the Ning family.

Ning Zhuo's position is in the corner of the dungeon.

In the corner not far away, there was a pile of rotten straw that gave off a bad smell, large patches of dried blood on the brick wall, and finger marks on the surface of the cell bars. Standing there, one could almost hear the prisoners wailing and begging for mercy.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly in his heart that once the matter was exposed, his fate would be even more miserable and terrible than those prisoners. The first one who would not let him go might not be the city lord, but the Ning family! By then, the friendly Ning family monks around him would turn their angry faces and hunt him down with all their might.

Ning Zhuo has no regrets.

He had already made up his mind to blow up the Immortal Palace. So what if he put himself in danger?

He sat down slowly and reached out to take a roasted chestnut.

The chestnut shell was easily crushed between his two fingers, making a crisp sound.

He took the kernel, chewed it, and swallowed it.

The current Lava Fairy Palace is like this chestnut nut. The shell has been broken by Ning Zhuo's fierce blow, and the standard has been lowered.

However, how to eat the nuts inside still requires careful consideration and extreme caution.

The incident was too big, and Ning Zhuo, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, was walking on thin ice. If he wasn't careful, he would be exposed, just like stepping on the broken ice and falling into the icy lake, and being swallowed by the undercurrent.

Ning Zhuo's mother was like that back then.

Ning Zhuo chewed the nuts quietly, savoring the delicious taste on his tongue, as if he was savoring his own dangerous situation.

No one would have expected that this ordinary young man was the real murderer who blew up the Fairy Palace!
