Zhu Xuanji frowned.

He tried his best, but his vision was still blurry. After all, the flames were burning, obscuring a lot of things and distorting his vision.

Ning Xiaohui's handwriting was so small and was on the inner layer of the ice, so it was normal that it was not clear.

This is a difficult situation.

For Zhu Xuanji, if there was a real object in front of him, he could easily get the truth by just using his divine sense to scan it.

But everything he saw was the result of a combination of talent and magic.

He couldn't have done any better!

"Can't you write it bigger?"

"Ning Xiaohui knew she was going to die, so she put all her efforts into making ice bricks before she died, hoping that the ice bricks would be left behind."

"That's possible."

"After all, the Ice-Fat Jade Hands are good at putting people in danger and then surviving."

"But in the end, the ice bricks were not left."

"Talent is not a supernatural power after all..."

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Zhu Xuanji's eyes.

"Ning Xiaohui seems a little too cautious."

"Also, if she wanted to leave clues, why didn't she just tell the truth when facing Zheng Shuanggou's magical clone?"

"There is a possibility that Ning Xiaohui discovered some key points, or suddenly figured out something, after saying goodbye to Zheng Shuanggou's magical clone."

"There is another possibility. That is, before Ning Xiaohui died, her mind was twisted by the desire for revenge. She wanted to frame her enemies and make them suffer."

"There is another possibility..."

"In Ning Xiaohui's opinion, Zheng Shuanggou is not trustworthy!"

"Or maybe she would rather report to me herself, rather than telling a certain Jindan cultivator first."

Zhu Xuanji's thoughts were as fast as lightning, with various ideas coming one after another.

There were too many possibilities. He thought about it for a while and then put away his messy thoughts.

"It can be confirmed that Sun Lingtong is the murderer of Ning Xiaohui."

"Moreover, he also possesses the Cremation Prajna Sutra!"

This was exactly the scene Zhu Xuanji saw in the second act.

"Cremation of the Prajna Sutra! It is indeed the same as what is recorded in the royal secrets. This kind of Buddhist sutra can be used to liberate life and refine spirituality."

"Sun Lingtong's mastery of this Buddhist scripture is an excellent proof that the Amoghavajra Sect has deeply penetrated into the Lava Fairy Palace!"

"Avangmen..."

Zhu Xuanji gritted his teeth secretly. Because of what happened today, he felt unprecedented resentment towards Bukongmen.

"Calm down. Calm down."

"Anger is useless. The wisest decision at the moment is to go find Meng Kui!"

Zhu Xuanji managed to calm himself down, stretched out his arm and waved it, collecting all the broken pieces of the silver furnace in the field.

Even though he couldn't see Ning Xiaohui's last words clearly, it didn't matter. He had other options! "Clean up the battlefield and try to collect clues."

"I'm going to leave the palace and talk to Meng Kui!"

Before leaving, Zhu Xuanji saw Ning Zhuo looking at him eagerly: "Oh, right. Protect him well!"

"He was a pawn arranged by Bukongmen. Now he has repented and turned over a new leaf."

The three golden elixir ancestors:?!

Zhu Xuanji: "Ning Zhuo is a very important witness. Please protect his life. No chance of loss is allowed!"

The three Jindan cultivators nodded quickly to show that they had received it.

The next moment, Zhu Xuanji flew into the sky.

Ning Zhuo was left alone to face the stares of the Jindan cultivators.

Ning Zhuo was also smart, and immediately ran to Ning Jiufan's side: "Grandfather, Grandfather!"

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "Tell me everything you know."

Although his expression was stern, he still stretched out his arm and pulled Ning Zhuo to his side.

Ning Zhuo had already prepared his speech, which he had carefully prepared and was originally intended to be used as the second line of defense.

Now, I will change the content slightly and tell it to the Jindan cultivators from the three families.

The Jindan ancestors all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

They knew it before Zhu Xuanji even heard it.

Zhu Xuanji flew all the way and left the Immortal Palace again.

The red flame monster outside the Immortal Palace was boiling, and its attack became more and more crazy, but with Meng Kui's help, Zhu Xuanji was able to leave smoothly.

Zhu Xuanji flew straight to Mengkui.

"Lord Mengkui, I have important information to tell you about the changes in the Lava Fairy Palace." Zhu Xuanji said bluntly.

Meng Kui: "Master Zhu, please enlighten me."

Although he is at the Nascent Soul level, Zhu Xuanji represents the royal family, so they communicate on an equal footing.

Zhu Xuanji then told Meng Kui how Ning Zhuo confessed his guilt and his speculation that Bukongmen was the mastermind behind the incident.

Meng Kui was shocked and kept silent for a while before he said, "What a Bukong Sect! They infiltrated the Lava Palace right under my nose with ulterior motives and provoked a war between the Golden Cores. Now they killed Ning Xiaohui and destroyed the Shiji Pavilion just to eliminate the evidence of their crimes."

"Since they were able to bombard the Shiji Pavilion, I'm afraid that the Five Elements Artillery Tower's inexplicable attack on Huoshi Mountain and the resulting monster frenzy was also their doing!"

"He is truly an evil cultivator who disregards the lives of thousands of people in the city!"

Zhu Xuanji: "This is just my guess, there is no solid evidence."

"I naturally trust Lord Zhu's reasoning." Meng Kui smiled.

Zhu Xuanji took a deep look at Meng Kui and told him his purpose: "Since the Bukong Sect is the third party behind the scenes and has done such an outrageous thing, you and I should cooperate with all our strength to eliminate it first!"

Meng Kui nodded: "That's right. What are the rules, Lord Zhu?"

Zhu Xuanji spoke eloquently.

Meng Kui smiled: "Master Zhu is right."

"I am here to express my sincerity once again - I am willing to promise that no matter who becomes the Palace Master between you and me or between the other three families, the current positions of all of us in the Lava Palace will remain unchanged! While we wait for the Lava Palace to be settled, all positions will be changed according to the rules of the court. What do you think?"

Zhu Xuanji's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart was shocked!

"Good job Meng Kui! This is a naked conspiracy."

"No, maybe someone from the three families has already had secret contact with Meng Kui..."

Zhu Xuanji was able to win over the Zhou, Zheng, and Ning families. As the city lord, Meng Kui had the support of the Meng family, so he naturally had such means.

It's just that you do the first day and I do the fifteenth.

Under the current circumstances, Zhu Xuanji could only accept it and go with the flow.

Soon, they reached a cooperation agreement.

Whether it is Zhu Xuanji or Meng Kui, they both belong to the Nandou Kingdom and belong to the same force.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Before, although both sides regarded each other as their main opponent, they maintained the intensity of competition and always kept fighting but not breaking.

Therefore, there is no obstacle to joining forces at this moment.

Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui both hoped to eliminate the third party, Bukongmen, and let the position of Palace Master be created between the two parties.

If Bukong Sect succeeds, then the royal family of Nandou State, the Zhu family, and the important officials, the Meng family, will become a laughing stock and thus suffer shame...

This is something neither of them can accept!

After signing the contract, Zhu Xuanji took out the jade slip and handed it to Meng Kui.

The contents of the jade slip were exactly the evidence, clues, and conjectures he had collected.

The most crucial thing is the three scenes that Zhu Xuanji "saw" at the ruins of the silver furnace.

Meng Kui held the jade slip in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and his Nascent Soul level aura suddenly expanded, and he began to use all his strength to perform calculations.

For a moment, mysteries abounded and clouds billowed.

A few strands of Meng Kui's hair turned white in an instant. He opened his eyes and looked tired.

Calculations often consume the most precious resource in the world - life.

This time, Meng Kui's calculation was the same.

However, Zhu Xuanji had already promised that the lifespan lost by Meng Kui this time would be compensated by the longevity-replenishing Ganoderma lucidum in the royal treasury.

Zhu Xuanji: "Did you gain anything?"

Meng Kui nodded slightly: "I got four clues. They are: Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong, Zheng Danjian and Jinlu."

For a moment, Zhu Xuanji frowned tightly.

He could fully understand the appearance of Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong.

But why is there Zheng Dankan?

Why is there a golden furnace? Zheng Danjian is one of the two golden elixir cultivators of the Zheng family, and the golden furnace is the highest grade furnace for refining weapons in the Lava Immortal Palace.

"Why did Ning Xiaohui mention these two clues before she died?"

Meng Kui interrupted Zhu Xuanji's thoughts: "Among the four clues, Ning Zhuo is the easiest person to investigate. In my opinion, we should just arrest him and search his soul!"

Ning Zhuo was only at the Qi Refining stage, so he was easy to control. The only problem was that Ning Jia Ning wanted to give in.

Zhu Xuanji did not hesitate and shook his head to refuse: "Not appropriate."

"Ning Zhuo is indeed involved with Bukongmen. I have asked him to confess his crime and accept punishment."

"He is my man and will be of great use in the future."

Meng Kui smiled slightly, not getting annoyed by the rejection: "Master Zhu is a master detective, so he is naturally better at solving cases and tracing criminals than I am. I will wait and see what happens here."

Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui parted ways.

Looking at Zhu Xuanji's departing back, Meng Kui's eyes turned cold.

"Zhu Xuanji seems to have not yet realized that the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit has already developed a different mind."

"But, from the looks of it, it's almost there!"

"Not empty door? Humph!"

Meng Kui did not take it too seriously.

After all, the Bukong Sect only sent out one Jindan true disciple and one outer disciple in the foundation-building stage.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Bukong Sect appeared, it would be a completely different matter.

Therefore, even though Meng Kui discovered that Bukongmen was a third-party force that had been lurking before, he was not anxious to take action personally.

"Just calm down."

"Then let Zhu Xuanji investigate the Bukong Sect. It would be good to take up some of his time and energy."

Thinking of this, Meng Kui sent a message down, ordering his own cultivators in the Immortal Palace to go all out and try to obtain as many key positions as possible.

At the same time, he ordered his confidants to desperately contact the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit! Zhu Xuanji flew back to the Lava Fairy Palace.

Along the way, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were deep.

If Ning Zhuo did not confess his guilt voluntarily, then under the current circumstances, he would think and hesitate - whether to search Ning Zhuo's soul.

But now Ning Zhuo had turned from evil to good, and the next moment his soul was searched? The consequences of a soul search were serious, ranging from amnesia to dementia.

Anyone with a bit of political sense would not do such a stupid thing, let alone Zhu Xuanji.

"Now, my alliance with the three families has created a rift with the Zheng family. If I search Ning Zhuo's soul, we will be at odds with the Ning family."

"Meng Kui asked me to search Ning Zhuo's soul... He is just a small cultivator at the Qi Refining level, and a peripheral pawn recruited by Bukong Sect. What can he know?"

"What's more, Meng Kui is also weird!"

Zhu Xuanji calculated the time.

When a hole appeared in the Lava Fairy Palace, Meng Kui did not take action in time.

The three Jindan cultivators all sent out emergency messages, but without Meng Kui's protection, the messages would have been attacked and destroyed by the ubiquitous red flame monsters as soon as they flew out of the Lava Fairy Palace.

"So, Meng Kui also deliberately suppressed the spread of Feixin and did not immediately receive and escort Feixin, so I received it very late."

"The Meng family's desire to seize the Lava Fairy Palace is too strong."
