The top of Huoshi Mountain.

The clouds and mist were layered, and the monks, led by Meng Kui, gathered together.

With the dual cover of magic and formation, the countless red rock demons floating in the sky above Huoshi Mountain were unable to interfere here.

As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the field, Meng Kui looked around and then cast a spell to show the battle situation on Huoshi Mountain to all the Jindan cultivators present.

A large number of red-flame monsters surrounded the Lava Fairy Palace in layers.

A considerable number of them also rushed towards Huoshixian City.

In Huoshixian City, many cultivators are making their own contributions on the front lines or in the city.

Fei Si stayed alone in the city, presiding over the overall situation.

Zhu Xuanji, Chi Dun and the three Jindan cultivators all came in front of Meng Kui.

The spell images kept changing, revealing many important corners of the battlefield.

One after another, the powerful and mighty red flame monsters appeared in front of everyone. In particular, there was a fire snake that was looming in the magma. Its slender body had already taken on the posture of a dragon! A Yuanying-level fire snake!

The hearts of all the Jindans sank.

Meng Kui looked solemn and said slowly: "You have all witnessed the current situation."

"But according to my calculations, this is just the beginning of the monster beast tide."

"As time goes by, the scale of this beast tide will increase."

"By then, it is very likely that there will be more than just this Nascent Soul-level Fire Snake."

The golden elixirs were all moved.

Compared with human cultivators, monsters often have thick skin and flesh, a long lifespan, and a huge physical advantage.

Meng Kui is not a physical cultivator. It is impossible for him to fight against the Yuanying level monster by himself. He can only rely on the city defense formation to hold on.

The combination of Mengkui and Xiancheng formation is feasible to resist a Yuanying level monster, and has an advantage in combat power.

But if it’s both ends, it will be different, the human race will be at a disadvantage.

If there are three heads... then we have to plan to relocate the citizens and ask for help from the royal family.

"Generally speaking, it is not common to see two Nascent Soul-level monsters in one beast tide." Ning Jiufan said.

Chi Dun sighed, "But our situation this time is unusual. We fired artillery in the Lava Fairy Palace, which blew up a large area. The demon beast community is in a strong mood of anger and revenge."

“When Yuanying-level monsters usually get along with each other, it’s like a king against a king. But now everyone is determined to take revenge and wants to destroy the Lava Fairy Palace. So, it’s very likely that the Yuanying-level monsters will join forces with each other!”

The faces of all the Jindans became gloomy.

"Speaking of which, why did the Lava Fairy Palace suddenly fire and bombard the Fire Persimmon Mountain, angering so many groups of red-flame monsters?" Zhou Nongying asked.

Meng Kui didn't say anything. As soon as he thought about it, the magical image began to play out, recreating the scene of the previous bombardment.

He had been sitting on the top of the mountain, overlooking the Lava Fairy Palace. His vision was quite clear and he could observe all kinds of scenes in the Fairy Palace.

Although he was practicing breathing exercises at the time and did not notice the unusual movement of the artillery tower at the first time, the magic weapon he placed in the clouds and smoke had been recording everything around him.

Then, all the Jindan people saw that the original three-story Five Elements Artillery Tower in the Lava Fairy Palace suddenly rose up and became six-story.

Then, each layer leaned out of the gun port.

After the infusion of magic power, the main guns and secondary guns roared together, firing a large number of five-element shells. After drawing colorful trails in the air, they plunged into the magma one after another and finally exploded deep inside the Huoshi Mountain.

"Gong Ling has gone crazy?!" Zheng Shuanggou was surprised.

"Could it be that it sensed some huge threat, so it took action in advance?" Zheng Danlian guessed.

"No, this kind of bombardment is too provocative. It's trying to lure the monsters to attack!" Zhu Xuanji made a judgment.

His eyes sparkled with gold, and his face was solemn: "This was premeditated, it was man-made."

"A cultivator controlled the Five Elements Artillery Tower and bombed Huoshi Mountain, causing such a catastrophe!"

"This murderer is extremely vicious and has no regard for the lives of thousands of people. His intentions are extremely sinister."

"I swear, I will catch him and bring him to justice!"

Zhu Xuanji's eyes were sharp and his heart was filled with anger.

"Is there anyone else who can operate this artillery tower? Is it because they have accumulated enough merits and contributions and obtained the relevant position?" Zhou Nongying analyzed.

Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and said, "Strange, where is the palace spirit? It just lets the murderer do whatever he wants without stopping him at all?"

Zhu Xuanji gritted his teeth and sighed softly: "Don't count on it. The state of the Lava Fairy Palace Spirit should be very bad. I'm afraid it can't make normal decisions."

Zhu Xuanji glanced at Meng Kui and continued to explain: "Before, when Qi Bai fought with Sun Lingtong and Chui Tiao Ke, the monsters were also attacking the Lava Fairy Palace. It can be seen that the defense of the Fairy Palace is weak and the formation is problematic. In the end, the palace spirit sent out the mechanical Taoist master to barely hold on and drive the foreign enemies out of the palace."

"I found the Mechanical Demon General in Huoshi Mountain. I used it to trace the source and saw that Gong Ling was in too poor a state, causing the Mechanical Demon General to fall in the battle and be lost outside."

"I guess the Buddhist doctors in the three major institutions may have suffered the same fate."

All the golden elixirs were speechless.

Zhou Nongying said in a dry voice: "I see."

Meng Kui remained calm, and did not tell Zhu Xuanji about his key discovery. Instead, he allowed his guess to deviate.

Why did he tell Zhu Xuanji? Meng Kui's magical power, the power of sitting on a mountain and watching the wind and clouds, was very costly. He lost a lot of his life to get the truth, and he would never easily help the enemy.

Moreover, Meng Kui also saw the possibility of cooperation between his Meng family and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's purpose.

It is precisely because of this possibility that Meng Kui is even less likely to tell Zhu Xuanji the results of his calculations.

Meng Kui pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Everyone, the murderer must be found and severely punished."

"But right now, our real problem is not to catch the real culprit, but to prevent the real culprit from destroying the Fire Persimmon Fairy City."

"Right now, the most important thing is how we can survive this wave of monsters!"

Catching the real culprit and inheriting the legacy are secondary; the real focus is how to resist the tide of monsters.

If the resistance fails, it remains to be seen whether the Lava Fairy Palace will still exist.

The Jindans were all worried.

They all understand the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent.

If the Immortal Palace is gone, I'm afraid the Immortal City will be difficult to preserve.

The reason is obvious - when the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact!

No one can guarantee that the monsters that conquered and destroyed the Lava Fairy Palace will calm down their anger and return to their nests obediently.

The more likely possibility is that their anger has not subsided, and they will surge down and completely submerge the Huoshi Xiancheng!

If this were to happen, tens of thousands of people would die, tragically killed by various red-flame monsters.

Zheng Shuanggou: "The Lava Palace is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has attracted the most monsters right now. We must help defend it and kill as many monsters as possible to make them retreat."

There are too many red flame monsters, and it is impossible to kill them all.

But after killing to a certain extent, the monster groups will retreat one by one.

In this situation, only by stopping killing with killing and showing the strength of the human race can the extremely angry monsters calm down.

There was no need for Meng Kui to persuade them. The Jindans had broad vision and insight into the war situation. After some communication among themselves, they quickly reached a consensus.

If you want to protect the Fairy City, your home, you must protect the Lava Fairy Palace.

The Lava Fairy Palace is also related to the inheritance of the three sects’ masters. The benefits are huge and must not be lost!

Meng Kui said in a deep voice: "The current situation does require a Jindan cultivator to take charge of the Lava Immortal Palace."

"At present, we have only detected a Yuanying-level fire snake."

"But the scale of this beast tide is so huge, there must be more than just one Nascent Soul level monster out there. We need to take precautions in advance!"

"The Third Sect Master is a powerful being at the Refining Void level. This is one of his palaces. The palace itself is very powerful."

"You Jindan cultivators, relying on the Lava Immortal Palace, can occupy a huge geographical advantage and contend with Yuanying-level opponents."

All the Jindan cultivators understood Meng Kui's meaning.

He needed someone to hold the Nascent Soul level monster head-on, and then seize the opportunity to kill it personally.

If two Nascent Soul-level monsters attack at the same time, the Jindan cultivator must rely on the Lava Fairy Palace to temporarily entangle one of them and hand the other over to Meng Kui to deal with.

Among the human cultivators, the most core fighting force is Meng Kui.

Only if he has the upper hand, can the human cultivators have the upper hand in the entire beast tide battle! Zhou Nongying suddenly asked: "Do we need to ask for help from the Nandou royal family now?"

Meng Qiu shook his head, indicating that under the current circumstances, this was not necessary for the time being.

He didn't want to ask for help at all.

On the one hand, the situation has not yet reached this point. On the other hand, once he does this, his political achievements will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Meng Kui looked at Zhu Xuanji and said, "I intend to gather all the manpower to defend the Lava Fairy Palace."

The expressions of the two Jindan of the Zheng family changed slightly.

Zhu Xuanji nodded in approval.

It was impossible for Meng Kui not to know that the Jindan true disciple of Taiqing Palace had been killed. But he pretended not to know, and there was no flaw in his words, showing the experience of an immortal official.

Meng Kui added: "Then we can also use the power of Yun Shang. Especially the cloud whale, which is at the Nascent Soul stage. What do you think, Zhu Shenbu?"

Zhu Xuanji nodded: "This Yunshang team is huge and can travel all over the world. Naturally, they are quite capable. We can expect more from them in terms of combat power."

"However, they are outsiders after all, so we can't take them lightly."

"Moreover, to negotiate with them about sending troops, the City Lord's Mansion needs to personally take action."

Meng Kui nodded slightly, and finally said: "In addition to them, there are two other Jindan cultivators, Yang Chanyu and Luo Shang, in Huoshi Xiancheng."

"What does Constable Zhu think of the two of them?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zhu Xuanji pondered and said, "If you can lure them with a large sum of money, it's fine to borrow their strength."

Meng Kui's expression relaxed.

He couldn't bring this up directly. After all, the charge of colluding with the evildoers was extremely detrimental to Meng Kui's future political career.

But the royal family member Zhu Xuanji was different.

Recruiting two people from the magic world is a very sensitive matter and can easily be used by political opponents as evidence or handle to target and attack themselves.

And there are many benefits to recruiting them.

On the one hand, it was to borrow the fighting power of the golden elixir. On the other hand, it was to guard against the two of them, to place them under his nose in advance, to suppress them and prevent them from making trouble.

Zhu Xuanji: "I need to send a letter to report the situation here to the king."

"Also, I have another suggestion."

"We have repair teams in all four directions. It's time to send these team members to the Asgard together!"

The bombardment of the Five Elements Artillery Tower made Zhu Xuanji pay more attention to his various duties in the Immortal Palace.

Zhu Xuanji referred to Ning Xiaohui's situation and thought that the members of the reform team were all trial disciples and were members of the Lava Fairy Palace. They had received great preferential treatment during their journey into the Fairy Palace.

They come to compete for positions with great advantages.

Many positions are not an option for people like Zhu Xuanji who practice other skills, no matter how hard they try.

There is no choice at all! The Jindan looked at each other for a while, and someone nodded: "This is the right thing to do, but what if someone sneaks into the Immortal Palace while we are fighting against the monsters and wants to fight for the inheritance of the Immortal Palace?"

Zhu Xuanji had expected this question, and he immediately said, "Sign a covenant to bind us and all members of the repair team."

"During the raging tide of monsters, no one is allowed to enter the Immortal Palace and secretly compete for the inheritance of the three sects!"

"We desperately need our own people to occupy various positions in the Asgard, so that we can better exert the power of the Asgard!"

Everyone had no objection, and they discussed the contents of the covenant for a while before signing it.

Zhu Zhen found Zhu Xuanji.

"Brother, I came here at the right time. Monsters are rampant right now, and I want to help you." Zhu Zhen said.

Zhu Xuanji was curious: "Have you finished your investigation on Ning Zhuo?"

Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Brother, how long has it been? I am not a Yuanying cultivator, how much can I achieve?"

"but……"

He then changed the subject: "This young man is indeed extraordinary."

"He went through a lot of hardships in his early years and was very courageous and brave enough to fight."

"He is good at scheming, but he seems different from those servile people. He is obviously only in the Qi Refining Stage, but I always feel that he has the Golden Core cultivation level."

"Brother, do you think highly of him and want to cultivate him?"

"Speaking of which, he is indeed a good target."

"The Ning family originated from Beifeng Country. They came to our country and have temporarily established a foothold. They have a gap with other forces."

"Under this situation, the Ning family is the most suitable ally for our Zhu royal family."

"In addition, Ning Zhuo has natural talent. If he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will definitely have extraordinary abilities. The possibility of him cultivating into a golden elixir is very high..."

After hearing what Zhu Zhen said, Zhu Xuanji waved his hands and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. I asked you to investigate him, not to praise him."

Zhu Zhen laughed and winked, "Brother, don't be so serious."

"When I investigated him, I found out that there were at least two other groups of people secretly investigating Ning Zhuo."

"If you really want to recruit him, you have to hurry up. If such a good seedling falls into the hands of other forces, it will not be good for our Zhu family."

Zhu Xuanji was silent.

Zhu Zhen raised his request again. He wanted to lend a hand and enter the Lava Fairy Palace to fight against the tide of monsters.

Zhu Xuanji fell into hesitation.

Compared with the tide of monsters, the human race is indeed at a clear disadvantage.

Therefore, at this moment, any fighting force is important.

At the same time, Ning Zhuo's figure appeared in Zhu Xuanji's mind.

"When the Five Elements Artillery Tower opened fire, Ning Zhuo's soul entered the Immortal Palace."

"He can't possibly operate the turret."

"He has never been seen entering the Asgard."

"He is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining... His suspicion can be ruled out."

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuanji nodded to Zhu Zhen: "Okay."

"Just go to the fairy palace and fight against the beast tide."

"Based on your knowledge of mechanical devices, it will be easy for you to reach the standard and enter the Immortal Palace."

Zhu Zhen was overjoyed and immediately clasped his fists: "Thank you, brother!"

Lava Fairy Palace, main hall.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was nervous and uneasy, and kept wandering around.

"It's over, I'm finished!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was so nervous that his whole body was shaking.

It knew very well that it could not stop these extremely angry red-flame beasts by itself.

But the next moment, Meng Kui took action personally, cast a spell, and cleared a temporary passage.

The golden elixirs united together and came to the vicinity of the Immortal Palace. They were illuminated by the precious light and entered the Immortal Palace together.

After they arrived at the Fairy Palace, they immediately rushed to the front lines in various directions to participate in the battle and resist the beast tide.

"call!"

When the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit saw this scene, he was completely relieved.

It lay on the throne for a long time before it recovered.

Its eyes penetrated the space, scanning all parts of the battle line, and its mouth gradually split open in laughter.

"Ning Zhuo! You are worthy of being me."

"The development of the situation is exactly as you expected!"

"Although we were the ones who blew up the monster, the consequences will be borne by the Jindans."

“This feeling is so refreshing!”

"But you know what makes me happiest?"

"Hahaha, from now on, you will never have the chance to become the Palace Master."

"No matter how cunning you are, you still suffered a loss of information in the end. I was able to outwit you this time. Hehehehe!"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had many things that he did not tell Ning Zhuo.

For example, to participate in the palace examination, you need merits, but the merits will be deducted and become negative.

Although Ning Zhuo held a position, he opened fire and triggered a tide of monsters, which eventually caused damage to the entire Lava Fairy Palace.

When the unified settlement is made, his achievements will be deducted, turning into a deficit within a deficit! Ning Zhuo will completely miss the final palace examination.

"So, I, Turtle, am the ultimate winner!"
