Chapter 162 Ning Zhuo satisfied them (please vote)
True disciples have a very high status and are very important to a sect. They are the future top leaders and one of the core strengths of the sect.
Immediately, an elder muttered: "I remember this. Not long ago, Qi Bai received a mission and went to spy on the Fire Persimmon Immortal City in Nandou Country. There are rumors that there is a mechanism Immortal Palace in the Fire Persimmon Mountain that may have been born, but it is
The lava fairy palace of the three masters back then.”
The leader of the Soul-Eating Sect's eyes sank slightly: "Master of the Third Sect..."
"This person is extraordinary. His cultivation level can surpass that of the combined level."
"He practiced magic, Taoism, and Buddhism at the same time, and he was indeed talented. However, his old age was unlucky, and he seemed to have gone crazy and committed suicide."
The sect leader thought for a while, looked at one of the sect elders, and said, "Elder Luo, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Elder Luo pondered and said: "The true successor of our sect has fallen. The real culprit must be investigated and severely punished! However, Lava Immortal Palace is located in Fire Persimmon Immortal City. If we want to dispatch elders, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"I think it would be more appropriate to send one or two capable Jindan monks and a few ghost generals to protect them."
"Let's find out the real culprit first, and then we can discuss and make decisions."
The sect master smiled: "This is the advice of an old man to seek the country. So, Elder Luo, which true successor do you think is more suitable?"
Elder Luo knew the sect master's intention of deliberately asking him questions, and immediately said: "When promoting a virtuous person, one should never avoid relatives. I recommend my nephew Luo Shang."
"Okay, that's Luo Shang." The sect master immediately ordered Luo Shang to go to Fire Persimmon Immortal City to investigate, and sent a ghost general with Nascent Soul level combat power to protect him.
This is already the operating limit under normal conditions.
For a major demonic sect like the Soul-Eating Sect, the elders must be at least Nascent Soul cultivation level. Sending elders will definitely make Nandou Country nervous and may lead to unnecessary fights.
Once the misunderstanding gets bigger and the Soul Eater Sect gets involved with a behemoth like Nandou Kingdom, it will not be beautiful.
In the world of cultivation, great power is often concentrated in one person.
Existences at the Nascent Soul level can guard one side, such as Meng Kui guarding the Fire Persimmon City. Similarly, Nascent Soul monks can also invade one side.
Existences that have reached this level cannot move lightly.
Therefore, when the Soul-Eating Sect wanted to explore the soul reserves in the Fire Persimmon Mountain, they only sent Qi Bai, a true disciple of the Golden Pill. It was not that the Soul-Eating Sect did not have the Nascent Soul level, but under normal circumstances, it was most appropriate to send Qi Bai.
Now that Qi Bai is suspected to have died in Fire Persimmon City, the Soul Eater Sect has reason to send strong men to investigate.
This strong man may not be at the Nascent Soul stage, but he must at least have Nascent Soul level means. Therefore, it is within the rules to send a ghost general with Nascent Soul level combat power to protect him.
As for the Soul-Eating Sect, a powerful demonic sect, why do they have to abide by the rules?
The reason is simple.
Where there is constant wealth, there is perseverance.
The Soul-Eating Sect occupies a large amount of territory, controls countless cultivation resources, and has a large family and business, so naturally it has many scruples.
After receiving the order, Luo Shang immediately set off and rushed to Huoshi Fairy City.
Not long after he left, an inner disciple of the Soul-Eating Sect quietly sent out a message.
The message passed through layers of relays and finally reached a town.
The town leader then conveyed the message to the nearest secret sect headquarters.
In the station, several monks are discussing and analyzing a lot of information.
"A true successor of the Soul Eater Sect has died? This is a big deal!"
"The Soul Eater Sect has tentatively determined that he died in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City of Nandou Kingdom."
"Isn't there a rumor over there that a fairy palace was born?"
"The Lava Immortal Palace? It is just one of the twelve palaces of the Three Sect Masters. It is indeed buried in the Fire Persimmon Mountain. This has been confirmed."
"Wait a minute, aren't there any disciples of mine in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City?"
"There is one, called Sun Lingtong. He is in charge of the black market in Fire Persimmon City and is well-informed. But he did not confirm the authenticity of the birth in the Immortal Palace. He only reported some news."
"Sun Lingtong... seems to be Xu Wuyan's only disciple?"
"Yes. Many years ago, Elder Xu was trapped in the Lava Immortal Palace. Sun Lingtong stayed in the Immortal City. He always thought that his master was not dead, but just fell into the Immortal City. The sect thought that he had talent and wanted to recruit him.
He came back and was rejected."
"Haha, how silly."
"I think this boy's character is very valuable! And even if he returns to the sect, it may not be a good choice. Don't forget, Elder Na Qing is Elder Xu's mortal enemy, and he is now very powerful in the sect."
"Stop, we are chatting too much. Please report this in advance."
"Whether it's the Soul-Eating Sect or the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, it's time to send sect disciples to investigate further."
Several days passed like this.
A lot of information was collected from this secret station.
The Buddhist monks discussed it again.
"It's weird. Recently, the number of news about the birth of Fire Persimmon Immortal City has suddenly skyrocketed."
"The source has been verified. It is the Meng family of Nandou Kingdom."
"Meng family?"
"Isn't Meng Kui, one of the four generals of the Meng family, the city lord of Fire Persimmon City? Why would he vigorously publicize this matter?"
"It's really weird."
"Hasn't the superiors decided to send the elite of the sect to the Fire Persimmon City to investigate? I feel there will be a chance."
Just as he said this, a voice suddenly came: "I have arrived."
In the secret room, all the monks were frightened and dispersed. They all used their magic power wildly, and the war was about to break out.
A female cultivator slowly appeared, and she flashed the identity token in her hand. Only then did the cultivators lift their guard and salute one after another.
The female monk acted vigorously and resolutely. After she appeared, she asked for all the information about the Fire Persimmon City, and then immediately set off for the Fire Persimmon Mountain.
"It's the true disciple Yang Chanyu."
"The sect actually sent her here!"
"Yang Chanyu is Elder Qing's beloved disciple, and his purpose this time will not be simple. Then Sun Lingtong will be in trouble."
Fire Persimmon Fairy City.
Ning Zhuo checked the latest information and frowned slightly: "There seems to be something wrong with the recent rumors in the city!"
Without the black market as a channel, he mainly relied on market rumors to collect intelligence, and the quality of the intelligence dropped by more than one level.
Even so, Ning Zhuo still felt that the atmosphere was subtle: "Recently, there seem to be a lot more strange faces in the city. The business of the inn has improved. Fights have occurred frequently in some places. Unexpectedly, if you look back carefully, you can see that these places
The surrounding areas are all very important areas or key buildings in the fairy city."
In the past few days, he had been staying at the Ning family's place, almost never leaving the house. He was either practicing hard skills or tinkering in the makeshift machine workshop.
The tree fighting ape was destroyed, and the remaining skeleton became fragile after the war because it carried the prosthetic bone and gold.
Ning Zhuo had to start from scratch and build a mechanism ape.
This time it was not as convenient as the last time. Ning Zhuo lacked a lot of materials.
The last time he was at the Zheng family, thanks to Zheng Jian's funding, he used a lot of precious materials to create the tree fighting ape.
Ning Zhuo didn't have such good luck this time.
During the period of penance, a messenger brought the order to assemble.
Ning Zhuo acted according to the order and met Zheng Jian and others secretly.
"Brother Ning Zhuo, we finally meet." Zheng Jian smiled heartily and took the initiative to say hello.
Ning Zhuo saw not only Zheng Jian, but also Zhou Zhu and Zhou Zeshen.
"Congratulations on your recovery!" Ning Zhuo said with a smile on his face, and his smile was quite sincere.
Zhou Zhu was silent, but Zhou Zeshen said: "I heard that you and Ning Xiaohui were exploring the Immortal Palace and met Meng Chong?"
Ning Xiaohui couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Ashamed." Ning Zhuo sighed, a look of fear appearing on his face, "The gap between us and Meng Chong is too big, and we have no power to fight back."
"To be honest, in the past few days, my heart has been heavy and it is difficult to be happy."
"With Meng rushing in front, how can we be our opponents?"
Zhou Zeshen nodded, his expression a little gloomier.
Zheng Jian patted Ning Zhuo on the shoulder and encouraged him: "We are united and we may not be unable to win. It's too early to talk about failure now, brother Ning Zhuo."
Ning Zhuo forced out a smile, looking like he was depressed after being deeply hit: "I can't resist Meng Chong, I can only rely on you all!"
Ning Xiaohui snorted coldly: "Ning Zhuo, how can you deserve the surname Ning with such a character?"
"When you fail and are humiliated, you should hold your head high and work hard to avenge your shame."
"Follow me and watch carefully!"
Therefore, in the next action, Ning Xiaohui was the first to have her soul extracted by the Netherworld envoy Qi Bai. Amidst the screams, her soul was on the verge of disintegration, triggering the fairy palace mechanism and sending her soul back to her body.
Zhou Zeshen continued: "This operation is very critical. We must try our best to clear as many levels as possible and catch up with Meng Chong."
Ning Zhuo satisfied him.
In the subsequent operations, Ning Zhuo communicated with Sun Lingtong and took the initiative to release the three joint teams and let them arrive at the maintenance room.
The monks from the three families were shocked when they saw the ranking list.
"Meng Chong is indeed number one!"
"There are actually so many people in the renovation team of the City Lord's Mansion who are on the list."
"That's unreasonable! Meng Chong will definitely make great progress while we recover from his injuries!"
"Sure enough, as we suspected before, the City Lord's Mansion is too far ahead."
Zhou Zeshen was the second person to have his soul extracted.
The attack sequence discussed by Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong makes sense.
The first priority to attack Ning Xiaohui is because her talent can not only contain various mechanisms, but also freeze trauma for treatment.
The second one is Zhou Zeshen. This man has an outstanding mind and is good at commanding on the battlefield. Leaving him on the battlefield for a long time is irresponsible to our own side.
"Meng Chong is so powerful, I really want to fight him in person. Even if I lose, it doesn't matter. I can just see the gap between us and the enemy and work harder later." Zheng Jian said expectantly.
Ning Zhuo gave him double satisfaction for his expectations - allowing Yuan Dasheng to greet him emphatically.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Seeing Yuan Dasheng pounce on him, Zheng Jian's talent was triggered and he gave a frantic warning.
Zheng Jian became the third person whose soul was eaten.
Zhou Zhu was taciturn and stayed at the end. Seeing that he was not very smart, Ning Zhuo chose him as a witness and witnessed Ning Zhuo's "death in battle" with his own eyes.
