Faced with this fact, the four major forces in Huoshi Xiancheng were all ashamed.

The martial law in Xiancheng has not been lifted, but it cannot stop the various opinions and undercurrents.

Zhu Xuanji asked Fei Si for some mechanism fragments.

These fragments all came from the mechanical monkeys that rioted out of control and attacked Yuan Er.

Since the black shadow demon cultivator has not shown up, these mechanical fragments have become the only clues.

Zhu Xuanji fiddled with the fragments.

He also got the design drawings of Infernape, took a few glances at them, and memorized them.

It took him half a cup of tea to piece together the fragments in his hands to form three mechanical monkeys.

The Mechanical Fire Monkey was in tatters and could barely stand in front of him.

Zhu Xuanji took out the strings, infused them with magic power, and controlled these mechanical fire monkeys.

If Fei Si saw this, he would definitely be surprised: it turns out that Zhu Xuanji has this skill.

Zhu Xuanji has his own attainments in mechanical engineering, which is one of the reasons why he was chosen to come here to investigate the case.

After a moment, Zhu Xuanji put away all the clues and sighed, not finding any valuable clues.

"Review it again."

Zhu Xuanji closed his eyes and reviewed the process of his investigation. First it was the mechanical monkey, then the thousand-jin fire spirit, and finally the black shadow demon cultivator.

"Using the mechanical monkey to self-destruct is obviously a precaution against the Root Tracing Technique."

"There is no trace of the Thousand Jin Fire Essence in the market. If the four major forces were to do it, it would be easy to achieve."

"The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is missing. The most likely reason is that there is a traitor who secretly let him go!"

All clues are suggesting that Zhu Xuanji, one of the three major families in Huoshixian City, might be the mastermind behind the Zhaxian Palace and the black shadow demon cultivator.

"But if the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator had already escaped, why did he trigger the explosion of the mechanical monkey during the Fire Persimmon Festival to frame the Monkey Head Gang?"

"Isn't this a waste of time?"

Zhu Xuanji's thoughts became more and more profound.

"Perhaps the other party wants to use this to disguise himself and create the illusion that the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is at the scene."

"In addition, the other party may have eliminated the old ape because they saw that the old ape was too outstanding. Getting rid of it in public can weaken the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Finally, the other party seemed to want to confuse me and slow down the progress of my investigation."

Bang! Zhu Xuanji clenched his fist and smashed it on the jade table.

He felt the enemy's provocation. These mechanical monkey fragments seemed to be mocking his incompetence, as if saying: Come and check, I left you a clue! But Zhu Xuanji had already learned a lesson from the mechanical monkeys, and knew that since the other party did this, he would definitely not be able to find out anything, but would waste his precious time and energy.

"If the mechanical monkey is a provocation to the opponent, then did the old ape really make a mistake?" Zhu Xuanji thought of this and turned back halfway on the day of the Fire Persimmon Festival, and even used the best potion to verify whether the old ape's mind was affected.

Zhu Xuanji's verification result is yes or no.

After thinking hard for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself: "The most suspicious thing is still the explosion!"

It's late at night.

Zhu Xuanji hid his body and went back to the Monkey Head Gang’s base. He used magic to make Yuan Er fall into a deep sleep as if dead.

Then, he took out the best potion and carefully dropped a drop on Yuan Er, but it had no effect.

Zhu Xuanji was frustrated: "What am I thinking? The possibility of Yuan Er's mind being affected is too small!"

"Humph, this evil creature wasted a drop of my top-grade potion."

Zhu Xuanji was in a bad mood as he looked at the sleeping Yuan Er.

As he turned and left, he flicked his sleeves, and the air flow hit Yuan Er's cheek, making a crisp sound.

"Lord Mengkui, I want to check all the records and thoroughly investigate everyone who has entered and left the Lava Fairy Palace over the years!"

…

Ning Zhuo returned home, rested for a while, and waited patiently until late at night. Then he put on his dark iron armor and disguised himself as a young boy once again.

He teleported to the dungeon and met Han Ming.

As soon as he pushed open the cell door, he saw Han Ming squatting on the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks with a very indecent posture.

Han Ming was startled and quickly stood up. He waved his hand at Ning Zhuo and said in horror, "Sir, please don't give me monkey souls anymore. My soul needs to be digested and purified!"

"Now, my soul has become deformed and has acquired many monkey characteristics."

"My behavior has also changed unconsciously!"

Ning Zhuo nodded. He also knew that he couldn't drain the pond to catch fish. He said gently, "Thank you for your hard work recently. Next, you just need to absorb this ape. I will give you a holiday so that you can have a good rest for a while."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Ning Zhuo frantically bought up wild monkeys and gave them all to Han Ming, letting her absorb them.

Ning Zhuo benefited from this, and his soul strength increased to more than eighty times that of when he first met Han Ming.

He also noticed that Han Ming's condition had deteriorated drastically.

Bang.

Yuan Dasheng's body was taken out of the storage bag and thrown on the ground.

Han Ming was startled, and her hair stood on end. At first glance, she felt that this old ape was extraordinary! "If you devour its soul, you can have a holiday." Ning Zhuo said.

When dealing with the corpse, Ning Zhuo deliberately wore away Yuan Dasheng's soul and imprisoned it inside the corpse.

Yuan Dasheng did not practice any soul-related skills, so he could only let Ning Zhuo control him.

But doing so still carries risks.

Ning Zhuo's best option is to let Han Ming suck it, and then he will suck it from Han Ming to make the most of this spoils.

"Thank you for your consideration!" Han Ming swallowed and began to perform the Soul-Devouring Technique.

But the next moment, a golden light flashed from Yuan Dasheng's body.

puff.

Han Ming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

Ning Zhuo was shocked. While controlling several small dolls to rescue him, he carefully checked Yuan Dasheng's body.

Han Ming quickly regained consciousness and shouted in shock, "You are as strong as a rock!"

"This, this is a super talent!!"

Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows, inwardly wondering: "Super talent? This old ape has immortal talent? Are you sure?"

Han Ming nodded, staring at the old ape's corpse, and said firmly: "Absolutely correct! I have read the sect's classics and confirmed that this is the characteristic of Yigujinjian. The owner is often loyal and steadfast by nature."

"The bones in the body are the hardest, comparable to diamond, and the flesh is also solid and tough. The soul is attached to the bones, so it will be steadfast and will not be easily moved by external things."

"In my current state, I can't absorb its soul. I'm afraid even in its prime, I may not be able to succeed."

At this time, Han Ming also recognized the identity of the old ape and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the old ape of the Monkey Head Gang, Yuan Yi's monkey pet, actually has immortal talent!"

Immediately, Han Ming was stunned.

She quickly raised her head and looked at Ning Zhuo, her eyes sparkling.
