"When I first saw the Black Wind Tiger Demon, he looked similar to the previous Zhengshan God Night Tiger, and I guessed that the former should be the latter's bloodline and was protected and supported by the latter. But then I thought, with a position like Zhengshan God, it would not be difficult to find a good place for his outstanding descendants."
"At the very least, he would seek an orthodox demon cultivation technique. Why would the Black Wind Tiger Demon practice magic?"
"The fact that Black Tiger is practicing magic skills actually shows that something is seriously wrong with the God of the Mountain!"
Sun Lingtong was not stupid, he had been holding it in for more than ten years and suddenly went out. His mood was slightly unbalanced and he didn't want to use his brain.
At this moment, he got Ning Zhuo's reminder and immediately understood: "Yes, the first person we prayed to was the God of the Mountain, hoping to ask him for help. In the end, the god did not help and only asked us to find the Fox God. Now it seems that it was not laziness, but a last resort."
"It's possible that the Tiger God we saw was just someone else in disguise!"
Ning Zhuo nodded and continued to analyze: "After being intimidated by the Great Snake Scythe, the Fox God asked us to explore the Shanxi Valley. The meaning is inexplicable and the attitude is subtle."
"I guess He wants to use me to expose this secret."
"From his perspective, he is the mountain god of Wuyin Mountain, and he must have known the true situation of the Black Wind Tiger Demon and even the real mountain god. According to common sense, he should take the initiative to report to the authorities and seek help from the South Bean Kingdom. Maybe he can use this to overthrow his immediate superior and become the official."
"But He did not do so. Instead, He pretended to be ignorant and confused. Obviously, He thought that even if He took the initiative to report to the police, the result might not be what He expected. What stopped Him from reporting to the police?"
Sun Lingtong chuckled, "Simple! This shows that the Nandou Kingdom is not worthy of his trust, and there is a mastermind behind it. So, you took the initiative to search around, arrived at Yugang Mountain, and found Meng Zizhong?"
Ning Zhuo nodded: "The previous mayor of Yugang Town, Shi, worked diligently and strictly during his tenure. It would be difficult to exclude him by conventional means."
"But the Meng family did it. A group of fierce bandits led by the Black Wind Tiger Demon rushed into the town and slaughtered people wantonly. As a result, Meng Zizhong was able to take over and become the current mayor."
"For a long time, the Tiger Demon gang has been roaming around and committing crimes, making the townspeople feel insecure. Even though Meng Zizhong has repeatedly trained his troops, wasting money and time, he still gained everyone's recognition and respect."
"Meng Zizhong therefore tightly grasped the military power, making it difficult for the royal family to remove him. He also deliberately relaxed supervision to attract a large number of independent cultivators. These independent cultivators thought they could take advantage of the mine, but in fact they were lured in by Meng Zizhong, and many of them became the blood food of the tiger demon."
Sun Lingtong took a deep breath and said, "It's really dirty."
"However, this is a good thing for us. Xiaozhuo, you want to take over Yugang Mountain, and we now know the secrets of Meng Zizhong and Tiger Demon. If you make good use of it, you may succeed!"
"Next, we will continue to collect evidence and make him have irrefutable proof."
Ning Zhuo shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult. The Meng family, a powerful clan, must have made preparations to cut off our relationship. Once they find out, they will definitely cut off their tails. Even if we can bring down Meng Zizhong, I'm afraid it won't be your turn, my Ning family's branch family's turn, to control Yugang Mountain."
"Boss, sometimes evidence isn't that important. It's just an opportunity to make a legitimate move."
"If the situation or interests require it, it is okay to grind the pearls into powder, use them as poison, and falsely accuse the other party of poisoning."
"Whether we can divide up the flesh and blood depends on how strong we are."
At this point, Ning Zhuo's eyes were dim and his tone was complicated: "From the essence, we are not much different from the demon cultivators fighting for blood food in the valley."
"Hundreds of years ago, the Emperor Nandou founded the country. Today, the Nandou Kingdom can be regarded as the Black Wind Tiger Demon. The Yugang Mountain we are fighting for is just the leftovers of this behemoth."
Sun Lingtong was silent for a moment: "Fortunately, the Nandou Kingdom is on our side for the time being. They want to rely on us to maintain the structure of Huoshi Fairy City and block Meng Kui's advancement. From this point of view, the fact that the Lava Fairy Palace is in a state of disrepair is actually a great benefit to us. It helps us delay the situation and buy more time to grow stronger."
"With our current status, if we seek help from the Nandou royal family, they will most likely allow us to divide up Yugang Mountain for the sake of Huoshi Xiancheng."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "It's not permission, but support. My Ning family branch has just started, just like a baby who is just learning to walk, and needs someone to help."
"Let's go and look for the local prefect."
The suspended magnetic fairy city!
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong controlled the Wanli Wandering Dragon, traveled through the void, and came to the central location that governed the surrounding areas.
From afar, one can see a towering fairy city atop the Magnet Mountain.
The fairy city is not grounded, but is suspended in the air using the extremely powerful geomagnetic force.
Pieces of black and grey square bricks, as big as houses, are combined to form two or three huge circles, which slowly float around the entire fairy city, creating a spectacular sight.
The square bricks contain magnetic force, which attract and repel each other. Therefore, they can be disassembled and recast at will. Normally, they are circular walls, but they can also be gates, plank roads, guardrails, etc. There are endless variations and they are widely applicable.
The main body of the fairy city is not a whole, but two floors.
The upper layer is the yang layer, and the lower layer is the yin layer. The two layers are also separated from each other and rely on magnetic repulsion and attraction.
The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or fall, it can roar or hide. This classic mechanical creation is not very good for fighting, but it is absolutely powerful when it comes to moving.
"Boss, it's up to you. The Xuanci Fairy City can artificially create a mysterious magnetic field and maintain invisible magnetic tracks for a long time. If Wanli Youlong accidentally touches these magnetic tracks and magnetic fields, it may be detected." Ning Zhuo said.
Sun Lingtong said confidently: "Leave it to me."
He used his innate spiritual eyes and borrowed the mechanical parts of the Wanli Youlong to greatly increase his field of vision, and immediately observed many invisible magnetic fields and magnetic tracks.
In his unique vision, these magnetic tracks crisscross, some are long and some are short, interspersed inside and outside the fairy city, and together weave a complex route like a bird's nest.
In the gaps of the bird's nest-like magnetic tracks, there are magnetic fields of all sizes, one after another. Some are centered on the buildings in the city, while others are centered on magnetic boats, monks, etc., moving around within a certain range.
Wanli Youlong hid his body, carefully bypassed the magnetic field, avoided the magnetic track, and finally came to the city lord's mansion on the upper level.
The government office is located on the central axis of the city. The vermilion lacquered gate is inlaid with a large number of magnetic iron nails and is painted brass.
A plaque with the words "Xuanci Zhifu" (Hanging Magnetic Prefecture) hangs high on the door, shining with golden light.

On both sides of the door, a pair of stone lions sit and lie, looking very majestic.
Wanli Youlong quietly entered the gate and saw the ceremonial gate. After passing the ceremonial gate, he came to the lobby.
In the middle of the lobby, there is a prefectural desk with a plaque inscribed with "Two Sleeves of Clean Wind" hung in front of the desk, and portraits of famous officials of the Nandou Kingdom are hung on the four walls.
The main hall was empty. Wanli Youlong, carrying Sun Ning and the other man, quietly entered the second hall.
On the east side of the second hall is the prefect's study, and on the west side is the meeting room.
After the second hall is the backyard of the government office, which is the prefect's private residence and where his family members live.
Sun Ning and the other man did not need to go any deeper, they found the current prefect of Xuan Ci in the study.
Ning Zhuo first returned to the door of the study and released the heavily-armored Blood Ape Dasheng out of the Mechanical Dragon.
The prefect Xuanci was shocked and angry: "Who?!"
He was at the Nascent Soul level. He suddenly stood up from his position, and his magic power gushed out, suppressing Yuan Dasheng.
Yuan Dasheng spoke with difficulty and took out the letter and tokens.
The prefect Xuanci saw the letter, which described his previous official posts, how he started his career, and how he reached his current position. He analyzed that the reason why he, a mere casual cultivator, could rise to prominence and have a successful career was because he was favored and supported by the Zhu royal family.
In the second half of the letter, Ning Zhuo finally stated that he had a major case to report.
The prefect Xuanci looked at the token again. This was specially given to Sun Lingtong by Zhu Xuanji. After all, according to the order to recruit talents, the royal family of Nandou had to reward the "entry standard". Therefore, Sun Lingtong was given a token to facilitate him to enter the royal capital in the future and choose a treasure from the royal treasury.
"It is indeed a royal token. My dear friend Ning Zhuo, you can come out and see it." The governor of Xuan Ci relaxed his strength, allowing the heavily armored blood ape Dasheng to return to freedom.
The Wanli Wandering Dragon then appeared, and a beam of light shot out from its dragon eyes, shining on the ground.
Ning Zhuo followed the beam of light, which grew from small to large, and finally landed. He stood straight and saluted solemnly to the prefect Xuanci. The first thing he said was an apology and a plea for guilt. He then emphasized that he had reasons for his behavior and that he had no choice.
"Wanli Youlong? No wonder he can sneak here..." Prefect Xuanci glanced at Wanli Youlong, and then looked at Ning Zhuo with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I know you, kid. You're jumping around in Huoshi Xiancheng, acting very active. But where do you think this place is? You're totally wrong if you mistake Xuanci Xiancheng for Huoshi Xiancheng."
"Tell me, I want to hear what major case you have to report. If you are bragging or exaggerating, don't blame me for punishing you."
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly, and directly reported Meng Zizhong, explaining the matter of the Black Wind Tiger Demon. He also handed the copied image as evidence to the Lord of Xuanci City in person.
When the Lord of Xuanci City heard about the case, his pupils shrank slightly.
His scalp tingled and a chill ran down his spine. He wanted to just turn a deaf ear and leave!
