Random Recommendation:
Zhu Xuanji: "The specific details are: the wanted posters for Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu are canceled, and Sun Lingtong is given one chance to choose one item from the royal treasury as a reward."
Ning Zhuo's mouth gaped slightly, his face filled with disappointment: "This, this, this..."
He had indeed been full of anticipation before, never expecting the Southern Bean royal family to be so shrewd. Whether it was the official explanation or the secret rewards, everything was just right, but it just happened to leave out him, Ning Zhuo.
Having finished the announcement, Zhu Xuanji immediately stood up: "Finally, let me tell you something, that scripture that can extract spirituality, don't casually leak it out. Although it is a Buddhist scripture, it is still too eye-catching, clearly in the style of the Burial Spirit Sect."
Ning Zhuo quickly "intercepted" midway: "Lord Zhu, are you leaving already? Don't, this junior has specially prepared a small banquet for you..."
Zhu Xuanji ignored him and left directly.
Ning Zhuo chased after him and took out a magic treasure, stuffing it into Zhu Xuanji's hand: "A small token, not to be considered much. Hehe."
Zhu Xuanji looked down and saw that it was the Jade Dragon Mirror, which was originally a set with the Golden Phoenix Mirror he had brought back.
Part of the agreement between the three parties was to divide the several magic treasures floating in the main hall. What Ning Zhuo obtained was the Jade Dragon Mirror.
Zhu Xuanji quickly withdrew his arm, enraged: "You actually want to bribe me? I am a Divine Constable, I am Zhu Xuanji, how can I accept your bribe? You brat, how dare you insult me?!"
"Hmph, as expected, you are the same as Sun Lingtong, birds of a feather."
Ning Zhuo was not bluffed, still smiling cheekily: "Lord Zhu, don't be nervous, this matter is known to you and me, known to the heavens and the earth..."
Zhu Xuanji directly flew into the sky, transforming into a rainbow and leaving, walking away very resolutely.
Ning Zhuo looked at his fleeing light and sighed regretfully: "Why did he leave so quickly? I still wanted to trade the mechanism magic general with him."
Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and Meng Kui, after the incident, divided the three Jindan level mechanisms: the Buddhist Doctor, the Magic General, and the Daoist Master.
Ning Zhuo blinked his eyes in confusion, thinking: "Why do I feel like Zhu Xuanji is afraid to face me? There's a sense of fleeing in a panic?"
He shook his head, thinking this was just his own illusion.
"When it comes to real combat, I still can't beat Zhu Xuanji."
"My trump cards are all exposed. Although Mother's spirituality has been greatly replenished, each time I use divine abilities and the Great Serpent Scythe, it consumes a lot of spirituality."
Ning Zhuo's strongest mechanism in his hand was undoubtedly the Buddhist Doctor, but he would never use it casually!
The more sufficient the spirituality, the longer his mother could be supported. As long as there was a trace of residual spirituality, there was still hope.
Zhu Xuanji flew in the air, his gaze heavy.
Ning Zhuo's feeling was not wrong, Zhu Xuanji did not want to have much contact with Ning Zhuo anymore.
He was not afraid of Ning Zhuo, nor was he afraid of the Great Serpent Scythe, but he was afraid of the Myriad Buddha Demonic Heart Seal!
The Taishang Emperor's last words directly stated that the Myriad Buddha Demonic Heart Seal was related to the conflict between the Buddhist and Demonic Realms, with enormous karma.
Of course, Zhu Xuanji did not want to get involved and could only choose to stay away.
The reason he did not give Ning Zhuo any rewards or official positions was also based on this consideration. If Ning Zhuo were to become a Southern Bean official, the Southern Bean royal family would likely perish because they would not be able to bear the karma of the Buddhist and Demonic realms!
In short, keeping a distance from Ning Zhuo and observing from afar was the most appropriate course of action.
It was good for Zhu Xuanji himself and good for the entire Southern Bean Kingdom!
Not long after Zhu Xuanji left, Ning Jiufan also arrived quietly.
"Old Ancestor, I have been looking forward to this day and finally see you." Ning Zhuo's face was full of sincerity.
He greatly thanked Ning Jiufan for supporting him, canceling Ning Qingqiao's position as family elder, and clearing the obstacles within the family for this smooth division of the family.
Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "What else could I do? Continue to let the main branch target you, suppress you, and give you a proper reason to destroy the entire main branch?"
Ning Zhuo's expression changed immediately, and he immediately swore that he would never be so heartless and indifferent. Although the main branch had treated him poorly, he was able to grow up smoothly, and he still owed the main branch a favor. He would not use such drastic means to deal with the main branch, after all, the main branch and he shared the same bloodline.
"No matter what, they are all my relatives," Ning Zhuo sighed.
Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "Ning Xiaohui, Ning Xiaoren... Aren't they all your relatives? Although I am old, I am not senile. I heard you have a pair of mechanism arms?"
Ning Zhuo quickly coughed: "Old Ancestor, I should congratulate you. With the royal family's support and the ability to subdue the demonic ape, we are now a major force with Yuan Ying level combat power!"
"Alas, just now I secretly spoke with Lord Zhu Xuanji and learned that the royal family has given me no rewards, not even an official position."
Ning Zhuo spread his hands, and his entire body exuded a strong sense of grievance and loss.
Ning Jiufan coughed a few times, knowing that Ning Zhuo was using this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with him.
Ning Jiufan sighed and looked deeply at Ning Zhuo, saying: "Past events are a muddled account. Excessive entanglement is of no benefit to the present."
Ning Zhuo strongly agreed.
Thus, his crime of harming Ning Xiaohui and others was lightly dismissed by Ning Jiufan.
Ning Jiufan: "According to your previous message, you want to leave Fire Persimmon Immortal City?"
Ning Zhuo cupped his hands: "Old Ancestor, this junior has been cooped up in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for over a decade and longs to travel the world. As the saying goes, read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. How vast is the world? This junior is eager to see it and cannot contain his heart's desire."
Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and pondered: "You are indeed too outstanding. Having given way to the position of Palace Master before, Meng Kui will certainly remember you. It's good to avoid the limelight."
Ning Jiufan was not worried about Ning Zhuo's personal safety.
On the one hand, Ning Zhuo's combat power was stronger than his. This was simply outrageous! If Jindan level combat power was still not enough to travel the world, then this world was a bit too dangerous.
On the other hand, Ning Jiufan was more confident in Ning Zhuo's methods and strategies. Even he, the Old Ancestor, was tricked by him. This young man was like a demon, what was there to worry about?
"When are you leaving?" Ning Jiufan asked.
Ning Zhuo said: "It's still early, at least half a month."
He said that he needed to consolidate his cultivation and that the newly divided family needed stability.
"Before you leave, remember to leave a mechanism to take care of the family," Ning Jiufan instructed. "I think that mechanism ape is not bad."
In order to gain Ning Jiufan's support, Ning Zhuo revealed a lot to him.
In fact, the three-party cooperation would inevitably have to be known to Ning Jiufan. If Ning Zhuo didn't say it, Zhu Xuanji would.
Ning Zhuo began to live a secluded life.
The Flying Cloud Merchant Group left, but Song Fuqi, accompanied by two Jindan level cultivators, secretly returned and was waiting in the nearby mountains.
Luo Shang scattered his ghost soldiers and generals around, and together with Han Ming, he was also waiting.
Yang Chanyu kept an eye on Sun Lingtong, urging him every day to say goodbye to Ning Zhuo and return to the Empty Gate as soon as possible.
She had also profited greatly this time.
Ning Zhuo had reached an agreement with Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji, dividing many items from the immortal palace, and also gained richly from the Zheng family's inheritance. There were also many congratulatory gifts for the establishment of the divided family.
On these congratulatory gifts, Ning Zhuo also added a Jindan level Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud and gave it to Yang Chanyu.
Yang Chanyu was very satisfied with this but was worried about the way back.
Even if she couldn't detect Song Fuqi, Luo Shang, and others, she knew that the Empty Gate and these two parties had formed a deadly feud. There would undoubtedly be heavy killing intent on the way back, and it would not be peaceful!
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong secretly met in the underground base.
Sun Lingtong scanned the surroundings, smiled, and then said with emotion: "In a few years, all these secret bases will no longer exist."
There were many loopholes in the city protection array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City. This was because they had to consider the Lava Immortal Palace and did not want to affect the Immortal Palace guarding Fire Persimmon Mountain, so the layout of the city protection array was very conservative.
Now, Meng Kui had become the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace and could incorporate the entire Immortal Palace into the city protection array, serving as the array center.
Therefore, the city protection array would certainly be repaved and meticulously repaired, and finding loopholes would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Ning Zhuo, however, felt nothing about the underground base and urged Sun Lingtong: "Let's go, boss."
The two concealed their figures, transferred through the underground base, and finally went deep into Fire Persimmon Mountain.
In an underground passage, Ning Zhuo stopped.
"This is it," he controlled the mechanism fire monkey to continuously dig at the ground.
Soon, the fire monkey dug out a small and exquisite mechanism little dragon.
The entire length of the mechanism little dragon did not exceed the length of Ning Zhuo's palm, and its body was grayish, inconspicuous.
But Ning Zhuo knew that this was a mechanism creation with a rank as high as the Yuan Ying level - the Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon!
After a divine sense scan, Ning Zhuo's face showed joy: "Excellent, just as I expected, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit is also inside!"
Sun Lingtong was overjoyed upon hearing this: "This Palace Spirit actively sought death, which is extremely strange. Does it really think we are all fools? Haha, Junior Zhu actually found it!"
"But how did it escape and drill into this mechanism little dragon right under our noses?"
Ning Zhuo said: "Spirituality has no fatal weakness. It is likely that it used the punishment methods of the Immortal Palace to split itself into two parts. The main body stayed in the main hall, deceiving us, and actively sought death. When the main body died, the分body would become the only one, gradually recovering consciousness from unconsciousness."
Ning Zhuo saw the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit in the mechanism little dragon, but the latter was severely injured, with no movement, and was slowly recovering.
Sun and Ning tried for a moment and successfully activated the mechanism traveling dragon.
The Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon's size did not change. Two rays of light shot out from its dragon eyes, sweeping over Sun and Ning, and instantly drawing them into the mechanism body.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" After exploring, Sun Lingtong gradually mastered the method of controlling the Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon and was so happy that he danced with joy.
"In this way, we can withdraw directly from Fire Persimmon Immortal City."
"Let Meng Kui temporarily take the position of Palace Master and let him repair the Immortal Palace for us, hahaha!"
Ning Zhuo smiled and nodded.
The reason he was able to find the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was because in the main hall, as soon as he saw the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, he planted a life thread on it.
As a result, the main body of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit perished in the sea of fire, but Ning Zhuo immediately felt the life thread, which had moved outside the hall and was constantly moving rapidly.
At that time, Zhu Zhen was still chasing the Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon.
"The Immortal Palace is divided into three powers. Now I control the Myriad Buddha Demonic Heart Seal and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit."
The Zhu family's investment in Ning Jiufan was actually within Ning Zhuo's expectations.
"The Zhu family needs to use my Ning family, and how can my Ning family not use their hands to help me regain the position of Immortal Palace Master in the future?"
Ning Zhuo smiled and looked at Sun Lingtong: "However, boss, are you sure you leaving with me will have no future troubles?"
Sun Lingtong laughed: "How smart do you think your boss is? Back then, I agreed with that silly woman Yang Chanyu that after the matter of the Lava Immortal Palace was over, I would return to the Empty Gate with her. But is this matter over?"
Sun Lingtong spread out a pair of small hands: "No!"
"Okay," Ning Zhuo nodded and felt relieved. He subconsciously looked up, in the direction of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
For Ning Zhuo, he was born here, grew up here, and this was his hometown!
"Farewell for now, my hometown," he whispered in his heart, and then controlled the Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon.
The mechanism was fully activated, and the Yuan Ying level aura was no longer restrained, expanding rapidly and immediately attracting several gazes.
The next moment.
With a dragon roar, the Ten Thousand Mile Traveling Dragon swung its body, leaving an afterimage in place and disappearing without a trace.
"You brat, you even fooled the Old Ancestor!" Ning Jiufan cursed, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Ning Zhuo told him that he would stay for at least half a month.
As a result, he fled within a few days.
The next moment, Ning Jiufan's smile suddenly froze, and he thought of something: "Wait! My Ice Heart Jade Pot is still with him, he hasn't returned it to me yet!"
