Chapter 37: Assassination



A strong feeling of weakness arose deep in his heart.

Ning Zhuo stood up and examined himself.

"My body is fine, but my soul has been weakened too much."

In room two, he was hit by too many huge trees.

“Although this is only my first time exploring the Lava Fairy Palace and I haven’t entered Room 3, I have gained a lot!”

"Especially the spell reward in Room 2, which I luckily brought back."

Ning Zhuo was not in a hurry to study the magic spells he had acquired, but drank water and ate first.

His soul was taken away and his body was in a coma. His heartbeat and breathing were maintained, but it was not good for him to remain motionless for a long time.

After all, Ning Zhuo was only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and he had not practiced any special body-refining techniques. His body was not strong.

While eating and drinking to replenish nutrients for his body, Ning Zhuo calculated the time.

"The first exploration of the Lava Fairy Palace took about three hours."

"The method for Qi Refining cultivators who have practiced the Five Elements Qi Law to enter the Lava Immortal Palace is different from before. Before, their real bodies entered the palace, but now their souls are being pulled in... This means that even if the city lord guards the top of the Fire Persimmon Mountain, it doesn't make much sense."

"No, the city lord should continue the blockade."

"On the one hand, he needs to prevent cultivators above the Qi Refining Stage from entering the palace in person. After all, the Lava Immortal Palace has already appeared."

"On the other hand, his actions are also beneficial to his own power. His grandson Meng Chong, who is still in the Qi Refining Stage, has long been preparing to seize the Lava Immortal Palace. In this regard, the city lord still has the most advantages."

"Meng Chong possesses super immortal talent—the power of thunder and lightning! I can't compare to him at all."

"Ah, I wonder how many levels he has passed? Room 2 is definitely not a problem for him."

Only mortals with spiritual roots have the basic qualifications to practice cultivation.

Above the spiritual roots, there are countless qualifications for cultivation.

Super talent is called immortal talent, which is very important. It is normal to defeat enemies higher than your level.

Although Ning Zhuo did not enter room three during his first exploration, he gained a lot.

The Lava Fairy Palace treats "outsiders" and "its own monks" in completely different ways.

This is very beneficial to Ning Zhuo.

According to the previous method, Ning Zhuo would have to face competitors in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and even Nascent Soul Stage.

But now, under this test method, his opponent is temporarily just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

Ning Zhuo recalled the information he had collected.

"Among the Qi-refining cultivators on the city lord's side, Meng Chong is definitely the leader."

"The Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhou family include Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu. These two specially joined the Mud Flow Sect, and their attainments in mechanical engineering are hard to estimate."

"Zheng Jian of the Zheng family is a prominent figure in the Qi Refining Stage. He has a superior talent such as seeing through people's hearts, which is also very remarkable."

"As for the Ning family, among the Qi practitioners of the same level, Ning Xiaohui is the best. However, she is not willing to change to the Five Elements Qi Law."

"Alas, these are all geniuses in cultivation."

"Compared to them, I am just an inferior immortal with early wisdom, nothing special."

"The key is that they have a strong background and can get strong support from their families, and even help from Nascent Soul cultivators. I can't do that. I'm too ordinary and can only fight alone. In this regard, I can only look up to them."

Ning Zhuo thought about the situation and got a headache.

He found a bottle of soul-restoring pills, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them down with water.

Then he quickly threw himself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

While he was resting, a conflict was happening in the Zhou family.

"Why can't I use the Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Lingxi Formation here?" A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage shouted with an arrogant look.

"Just because I'm here." Zhou Zeshen walked out with a gloomy face.

The Qi-refining cultivator from the Zhou family twitched his lips and was about to make a mocking remark when he saw Zhou Zeshen take out a small flag.

The Qi-refining cultivator of the Zhou family shouted, "Zhou Zeshen, you are too arrogant. You actually resorted to violence in the clan's territory! Ah..."

He was speechless.

He was almost completely swallowed by the mud, with his chin and mouth sunk into the mud, but his nostrils remained above the surface, giving him a chance to breathe.

He struggled desperately but was unable to move. He was completely furious, his face flushed and his eyes widened with anger.

Zhou Zeshen sneered, then glanced around and said to the onlookers: "I know that some people in the family are dissatisfied with me and Zhou Zhu."

"But using such a small trick to disgust others really underestimates me."

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded from underground.

Zhou Zeshen's face changed drastically. He turned around in a hurry and ran into the basement.

The Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Lingxi Formation had slowly stopped, and Zhou Zhu was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, bleeding from every pore of his body.

"Dazhu!" Zhou Zeshen shouted, rushed into the formation, checked Zhou Zhu, and gave him emergency treatment.

Not long after, an elder of the Zhou family came over with a livid face and said, "Investigate, we must find the murderer and punish him severely!"

Zheng family.

The refining room was bustling with activity.

The ten-foot-high stove was wide open, and the flames made Zheng Jian's face turn red.

At this moment, his upper body was naked, his muscles were bulging, and sweat was rolling down his cheeks. He was refining the weapon with all his strength.

He held the pliers in one hand and raised the hammer in the other, hitting the embryo continuously.

The organ embryo is quite small, only the size of a baby's palm.

Suddenly, the organ embryo glowed brightly.

Zheng Jian's eyes flashed with brilliance. He quickly put down the hammer, scooped a bucket of water and poured it directly down.

The clear water fell onto the embryo of the vessel, making a hissing sound and emitting large amounts of white water vapor.

Zheng Jian suddenly felt a sense of danger and retreated quickly.

But he had already inhaled a little white vapor and couldn't help coughing twice, coughing up blood.

"Damn it, the water is poisoned!"

Zheng Jian’s face turned pale and he rushed out of the refining room.

City Lord's Mansion.

An assassin in black climbed over the courtyard wall, stepped on the roof, and quietly took out a blowgun-shaped magical weapon.

He secretly used magic to melt a small hole in the roof, and then slowly extended the blowpipe downward.

But the next moment, he heard a low roar: "Thief, die!"

The blowpipe was pushed hard, and with a terrifying electric light, it went straight through the mouth of the black-clad assassin, shot out from behind the assassin's head, and then disappeared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

In the dazzling electric light, the assassin trembled violently several times.

The next moment, he was reduced to charcoal and fell headfirst. He rolled all the way down the roof until he fell to the ground.

"Hmph!" In the room, Meng Chong slowly closed his eyes and continued to disperse his energy.

Ning family.

Ning Xiaohui stood in front of the clan leader, with her grandmother and the elder of Fu Tang family beside her.

"It's not impossible for me to change to practicing the Five Elements Qi Law. But I have some requirements!" Ning Xiaohui changed her tone.

It turned out that the main branch of the Ning family could never nominate a decent person and could only nominate Ning Xiaohui.

Ning Xiaohui's grandmother and the Fu Tang family elders who supported her gradually could not bear the joint pressure from others and had no choice but to compromise.
