Council Hall.
The spiritual lamp emits bright light.
All the family elders gathered here, but the main seat and the seat to the left of the main seat were empty.
The Ning family head and young head are missing.
The elders looked gloomy and in a bad mood, and started discussing government affairs.
"The Red Flame Beasts that besieged the Lava Fairy Palace have retreated by 60%. In a few days, the Red Flame Beasts around the Fire Persimmon Fairy City will also begin to retreat. By then, the City Lord's Mansion should announce the results of the disaster relief and the elimination of wild monsters. The border guard posts are where we should intervene the most."
The words of the Fu Tang family elder immediately aroused the approval of most people.
Four days have passed since Ning Zhuo took the initiative to give up the position of Palace Master to Meng Kui.
In fact, on the day when Meng Kui became the Palace Master, the three Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces, and Zhu Xuanji, Shu Zhongjun and others launched a counterattack together, killing countless people and directly extinguishing the Red Flame Monster's arrogance.
The three great Nascent Soul cultivators are naturally Meng Kui, Meng Hu and the cultivator from Taiqing Palace.
The monks from Taiqing Palace used the excuse that "their disciples were mistakenly killed by the Zheng family" to seize the opportunity to attack the Lava Fairy Palace.
After Meng Kui became the Palace Master, he took the initiative to demonstrate his duties, which made Taiqing Palace Yuanying immediately realize that his scheme had failed.
Looking at Meng Hu and Meng Kui, he gritted his teeth in anger: "What powerful generals of the Meng family."
Meng Hu's eyes were focused, and his attention was more focused on the Fateful Shield in the hands of the Taiqing Palace Yuanying. This Night Rain Demon Weapon was really strong. He fought hard for a long time, but there was no hope of breaking the shield. Instead, he was counter-injured and covered with wounds. The power of any defensive means was weakened.
Meng Kui smiled and said that he would not let Taiqing Palace Yuanying’s trip be in vain, and he would hand over the entire Zheng family!
This surprised the Yuanying of Taiqing Palace. After asking in detail, he found out that the only two Jindan ancestors of the Zheng family had died, and the backbone forces like Zheng Hua and the younger geniuses like Zheng Jian had all lost their lives.
He immediately understood why Meng Kui could entrust the Zheng family to him.
Without the ability to protect themselves, the Zheng family is just a pawn that can be sacrificed at will!
After the Yuanying cultivator of Taiqing Palace learned the details, his attitude softened: "I need the corpse of the Zheng family's Shuangjindan."
Meng Kui nodded and said meaningfully: "Zheng Danjian can be given to you, but Zheng Shuanggou has been killed by the demon cultivator and the whereabouts of his body is unknown."
Taiqing Palace Yuanying said: "Zheng Danjian's body alone is not enough!"
Meng Kui sneered: "Don't worry, once we kill the two demon cultivators and take back Zheng Shuanggou's body, we can satisfy your needs."
The ones who killed Zheng Shuanggou were the two Jindan from Taiqing Palace, but they were disguised as black shadow demon cultivators.
The Nascent Soul cultivator of Taiqing Palace faltered in momentum and could only take a step back. His attitude softened and he communicated with Meng Kui through telepathy.
He really needed the Zheng family captives to take back to the sect. If he didn't cooperate with Meng Kui, he wouldn't get Zheng Danjian's body. He would also be expelled by the two Yuanying cultivators of the Meng family, which would be very unpleasant.
After the two of them had a half-decided discussion, Zhu Xuanji also flew up into the sky, representing the Nandou royal family to express his sincerity in cooperation. If the Yuanying cultivators of Taiqing Palace could help, it would be considered a great achievement and they would receive generous rewards from the Nandou Kingdom.
Just like that, the two sides that had just been fighting fiercely stopped and made peace. The Yuanying cultivator of Taiqing Palace, Meng Kui and Meng Hu attacked together, sweeping the battlefield and killing the red flame monsters, leaving corpses all over the ground.
The three Yuanyings among the Red Flame Monster were either dead or injured, and the Flame Lizard fled in a panic with a hole on its head.
The Fire Snake was imprisoned by Meng Kui.
The demon ape fell into a coma.
The red-flame monster suffered heavy casualties, but the beast lacked wisdom and was aroused by death and blood, becoming extremely ferocious, so it continued to charge and kill.
The three Yuanying first easily conquered the lost territory, and then counterattacked into the magma, killing all the way to the depths of Huoshi Mountain. They killed until they were all a little tired, and then they stopped.
During this period, another Nascent Soul-level red-flame monster was enraged and fought with the three Nascent Soul monks, and was seriously injured and retreated.
Meng Hu chased the monster all the way and returned in disappointment when he saw it going deep into the boundless fire poison and earth fire.
Without the support of a demon beast king with Yuanying-level combat power, the elite demon beasts at the Jindan-level naturally suffered heavy losses.
However, despite the frequent attacks of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the Red Flame Beast tide continued unabated. It lasted until the third day, when the number of Red Flame Beasts emerging from the top of Huoshi Mountain was significantly reduced.
“Too many people have been killed this time, and I have sinned against the Heaven. After returning to the palace, I will fast for seven days and seven nights, and bathe in the pure air, so as to wash away the killing and bloodiness.” The Yuanying cultivator of Taiqing Palace sighed, and stopped taking action from then on.
Meng Kui also stopped immediately.
Only Meng Hu attacked in all directions. When the battle was fierce, he roared to the sky. The roar stirred the wind and clouds and covered the entire Huoshi Mountain.
The Red Flame Beast Tide was suppressed by the three Yuanying monks working together!
The elders of the Ning family continued to discuss many household affairs.
Count the losses, repair the clan's defense array, and strictly distribute the pensions...
Finally, they had to talk about a topic, but this topic was something that no one in the hall wanted to face.
"Ning Zhuo is our real threat! This time, he wants to publicly sacrifice the Ning family members who died in the battle. Are we really not going to stop him?" It was Ning Qingqiao who took the initiative to bring this up.
He has the talent of Frost Descent Silently and the foundation-building cultivation. Originally, he was not qualified to discuss matters. But when the monsters attacked the city, not only the patriarch of the Ning family died in the battle, but also the elders of the family died.
There was a vacancy in the family's upper echelons, so Ning Qingqiao was promoted and became a new face in the council hall.
The elders were silent.
The elder of the school sighed: "The most important affairs of a country are war and sacrifice. The same is true for the family."
Ning Qingqiao immediately added: "This time, if Ning Zhuo is really allowed to preside over the public sacrifice, the hearts of our branch clan will probably turn to him. With this increase and decrease, how can we compete with the branch clan in the future?"
This is not because they don't have a big picture view, but because they are familiar with government affairs and are very clear about the current situation: the main family and the branch family are like a lever supporting the middle because of their blood relationship. If one end is high, the other end will be low.
Either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind. The suppressed party will continue to be sucked blood by the advantaged party, the weaker party will become weaker, and the stronger party will become stronger and stronger.
The Zhan Tang family elder spread his hands and said, "Ning Zhuo has become the head of the branch family. This matter has even been recognized by the ancestors. It is irreversible."
"Although he is only a minor cultivator at the middle level of Qi Refining, his status is high enough for him to preside over the sacrifice publicly. There is no problem. How can we stop him?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Ning Zhuo, ah... Who could have expected that such a freak would appear in our clan's branch?"
"A few months ago, I would never have thought that my huge Ning family would be split into two because of a little 16-year-old descendant of the branch!"
"Humph, if the Lava Fairy Palace hadn't appeared, how could it be possible?"
Seeing that all the elders were just pretending to be strong, Ning Qingqiao became anxious. "Hmph, in my opinion, if we can't stop them head-on, we can use some covert means. If Ning Zhuo's sacrifice fails or the situation becomes awkward, it will definitely undermine his prestige and gain some advantages for the main branch of our Ning family."
puff.

Ning Qingqiao had just finished speaking when her expression suddenly changed drastically. She spat out a mouthful of blood, fell directly off the chair, and knelt on the ground.
The elders were shocked and wanted to stand up, but they were suppressed by the boundless pressure and remained in their seats.
Ning Susu suddenly appeared in the main position of the head of the Ning family.
He looked at the whole crowd coldly and shouted, "We are all descendants of the Ning family, but you are fighting against each other? With such a mentality, how can you make the family prosperous!?"
"Ancestor!" The elders of the family shouted one after another, trying to excuse themselves. Some even went so far as to distance themselves from the matter, saying that this was Ning Qingqiao's personal opinion and did not represent theirs.
When Ning Qingqiao heard these words, she was so angry that she spit out blood.
Ning Jufan criticized everyone harshly, and finally looked at Ning Qingqiao. He directly deprived him of his status as the family elder and made him face the wall for three years to reflect deeply.
Ning surrendered and left immediately after the incident.
The elders finally regained their mobility, and they were all sweating profusely, as if they had been reborn.
Looking at Ning Qingqiao, they felt contempt in their hearts. To be a patriarch is not just about having fighting ability, one must also have brains.
One can't help but feel a sense of grief over the death of the rabbit.
Ning Qingqiao has talent, but she is still like this. The elders of the family, who have no talent, will definitely end up worse than Ning Qingqiao if they deal with Ning Zhuo! "I agree that Ning Zhuo should preside over the sacrifice. There is nothing wrong with that."
"Yes, he is a genius of our clan. It is such a good thing that such an outstanding junior can stand up and take responsibility."
"This is a sign of the prosperity of my Ning family. I think we should come forward to help him on the day of his sacrifice."
"agree."
"I agree."
“Second.”
Ning Qingqiao was so angry when she saw the elders behaving like this that her eyes turned black.
"The ancestor is biased!" He wailed and fainted on the spot.
The other elders all agreed with Ning Qingqiao's complaint, but it seemed as if they didn't hear it at all.
Ning Jufen sighed softly.
Although he left, his consciousness still shrouded the meeting hall.
If the elders of the main branch of the Ning family knew the truth about the Lava Fairy Palace, they would definitely understand Ning's submission.
Ning Zhuo's fighting ability at the end shocked Ning Jiufan! Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin who was able to defeat Zhu Xuanji head-on.
A Butterfly Girl who can cast quasi-golden elixir-level magic array.
The Heavy-Armored Blood Ape·Dasheng, the Netherworld Envoy·Qi Bai and the Weather Ball·Ice Crystal Snow.
With all these mechanical devices at his disposal, who would dare to regard Ning Zhuo as just a minor cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining?
Such a powerful fighting force has surpassed Ning Jiufan, okay! When Ning Zhuo faced Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui, he showed his skills, which made Ning Jiufan look at him with new eyes and take him seriously.
He regretted that he did not discover Ning Zhuo's excellence earlier and won him over too late.
He secretly felt lucky that Ning Zhuo took the initiative to split up the family and did not stay to cause trouble to the main branch. With his righteous skills, strategies and terrifying fighting power, who in the main branch could be his opponent?
Didn’t you see that the Ning family’s patriarch and deputy patriarch both died in front of him?
Ning Jufan openly supported Ning Zhuo and strongly supported him. In fact, it was to protect the main line of the Ning family. After all, he had promised to protect these descendants.
Ning surrendered and dealt with Ning Qingqiao in the hope that the latter could completely recognize the reality, practice well during the three years of facing the wall and reflect on his mistakes, and strive to use his talent to provide new momentum for the main line of the Ning family.
Ning Qingqiao is now too arrogant after suddenly becoming the family elder. If he really provokes Ning Zhuo to take action, his life will be in danger!
Unfortunately, Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and Meng Kui had agreed to keep the final truth of the fight for Lava Palace a secret. Although Ning Jufan was informed of it afterwards, he could not leak it out.
People don't know the truth and find it difficult to understand his good intentions.
