One day ago. Ning Jiufan flew all the way, and the green mountains under his feet slowly retreated. "Senior, according to the map, we are almost at Yugang Mountain." Hanzhou sat next to Ning Jiufan. The two sat on a huge flying ice block. The cold made Hanzhou feel more at home, because he was originally from the north. Therefore, he also felt quite at home with Ning Jiufan, the owner of the flying ice block. "Yugang Mountain is indeed in sight." Ning Jiufan's vision is much stronger than Hanzhou's, after all, he is at the Jindan level. He has already seen a little shadow of Yugang Mountain in the sky. But just when he relaxed slightly, the sky and the earth changed color in an instant. A large formation suddenly unfolded, instantly wrapping Ning Jiufan and Hanzhou in it. In a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth returned to their original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion. Ning Jiufan and Hanzhou disappeared completely.
Ning Jiufan fell into the formation, shocked and angry. But the sky and earth were dim, and the halo was like a ball, covering all directions. Three vague figures separated and surrounded Ning Jiufan and Hanzhou from a distance. "Who trapped me?" Ning Jiufan asked sternly, "I am Ning Jiufan, the Jindan ancestor of the Ning family in Huoshi Mountain. Did the three Taoists surround the wrong person?" One of the three figures said, "Ning Jiufan, we finally waited for you. We want to eliminate you!" Hanzhou was shocked and immediately nervous. He didn't expect that this time he followed the Jindan cultivator on the road, but encountered a life-and-death crisis. Ning Jiufan's heart sank suddenly. Since the other party was waiting for him, he must be a big shot. He thought for a moment and immediately took out the official seal from his bosom: "Don't make mistakes and be instigated by others! I am the hidden official of the Nandou Kingdom. If you stop now and leave, I promise that I will not pursue you." "Otherwise, if I have any trouble here, the entire Nandou Kingdom will want and hunt you down." As a result, the enemy laughed: "Ning Jiufan, we will kill you, the dog official!" Ning Jiufan was shocked again. Since the other party knew his identity, they would rather kill the official than take action. It is very likely that it is the Meng family. After all, the Ning family moved to Huoshi Xiancheng, and the only powerful foreign enemy at present is the Meng family. In addition, there are the enemies of Beifeng Kingdom. However, this possibility is far less than that of the Meng family. Hanzhou transmitted: "Ancestor Ning, these three people are all golden elixir auras, why not release Yuan Lao directly and break the formation with force!" Ning Jiufan shook his head in his heart. He didn't want to do this. If this ambush was really the work of the Meng family, how could they not guard against his Yuanying-level monsters? If Yuan Lao is really released, she might fall into the trap of the other party. Considering this, Ning Jiufan snorted coldly, responding to Hanzhou and saying to the enemy: "If that's the case, then let you see the heroic fighting posture of my northern men!"
"Show me your moves!" As soon as Ning Jiufan finished speaking, he immediately attacked. For a moment, the north wind blew, blowing the heavy snow, and the biting coldness instantly filled the air. Among the three Jindan monks, one of them showed his figure and cast a spell to fight against the wind and snow. Ning Jiufan's wind and snow spell was suppressed, so he took out a talisman and activated it directly. The talisman floated in the air, bursting with strong light, and quickly condensed into an ice and snow giant. Snow clouds appeared under the feet of the ice man, holding a long-handled ice sculpture sword in both hands, and rushed towards another Jindan opponent. Seeing the ice man approaching, the Jindan monk hurriedly cast a spell, constantly suppressing and delaying the ice man's advance. Ning Jiufan used three things at once, shooting a magic weapon-level ice cone at the third person. The Jindan cultivator saw the ice cone coming at him with great power, and knew that ordinary magic could not resist it, so he immediately took out a large tripod. The large tripod flew to the front and collided with the ice cone, making a loud clanging sound, but it was finally temporarily blocked. Ning Jiufan laughed loudly, and said heroically: "Is this all you three are? If you have any other tricks, just use them!" Hanzhou was extremely surprised to see this Ning family ancestor fighting one against three, and he was so strong. But he soon thought of Ning Zhuo. "Like grandson, like grandfather. From Master Ning Zhuo, we can see the excellence and strength of the Ning family." "The performance of the Ning family Jindan ancestor was actually a sign." Hanzhou also thought of the powerful trump card of Yuanying-level Yuan Lao, and his heart gradually settled down and was no longer so nervous. He didn't know that Ning Jiufan was so nervous on the surface, and even fell into the formation, he had already lost the advantage of the terrain. Since the three Jindan cultivators were chosen by the Meng family, they must have a hand. "This place is close to Yugang Mountain. It would be great if there were reinforcements." The guard on Yugang Mountain is no longer Meng Zizhong, but a Jindan sent by the Zhu family royal family. Before Ning Jiufan came, he had already notified them by flying letter, and the two sides had a flying letter exchange. But Ning Jiufan thought again: "Since the other party set up an ambush here, how could they not consider the Jindan garrison on Yugang Mountain?" "So, if we take action in this formation, I'm afraid that any movement will not be transmitted." "No, if it really spreads, it will be even worse. They must have done it on purpose to attract the Jindan garrison to come to support, so that we can be caught in one fell swoop!" Hanzhou did not understand the real situation, and he didn't know much about the existence of Jindan levels. But Ning Jiufan's thinking also has its own limitations. Even the three Jindan who set the ambush did not know that their ambush had actually been exposed. High in the clouds, Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu stood side by side, overlooking the battlefield below.
Although the battlefield was wrapped in formations, Zhu Xuanzhi urged his heavenly golden eyes to work with spells to see through the scene inside. Through spiritual communication, Shen Lingshu also knew the real-time battle situation. Zhu Xuanji said: "Senior Shen, as you expected, Ning Jingfan was ambushed during this trip." "You didn't expect him to be in danger." "Haha, with us here, of course he will be safe." Shen Lingshu made some moves with his hand and said, "I have calculated that this formation is the Nine-tailed Demon Formation." "The battle lines and patterns are all made of nine-tailed fox fur." "There are eight formation eyes and one formation center. The formation center is hidden in the formation eye. At first glance, it looks the same, so it is difficult to find the key position." "Right now, of the three Golden Core cultivators, one occupies the center of the formation, two occupy the formation's eyes, and there are three formation eyes burning with the incense of ecstasy. One of the formation's eyes has a demon-slaying platform, and one has a demon-tying rope. , there is a mysterious air bag in the last formation eye." When Zhu Xuanzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The other party is well prepared." "The nine-tailed celestial demon has the power to confuse all demons. It uses its nine-tailed fox fur to form an array, which is a great skill." "The incense and demon array can confuse Grandma Yuan as soon as she is released, and she may even counterattack her master." "Then, in a daze, I walked onto the demon-slaying platform and was decapitated by a guillotine, losing my life." "In the thin line between life and death, Grandma Yuan may burst out her survival instinct and earn a glimmer of clarity. Therefore, the other party also prepared a rope to bind the demon to kill its last bit of vitality." "What kind of magic weapon is this mysterious air bag?" Shen Lingshu said: "This treasure is specifically aimed at Qi. It can absorb the Qi of other objects, causing the Qi to be low." "With this treasure, some accidents can be prevented. Many people with strong Qi often use it to save themselves at the critical moment of life and death." "Even a mortal, as long as his Qi is strong, he can even fall off a cliff and survive, and he will still have future blessings." "That's it." Zhu Xuanji nodded and asked the most important question, "Can Senior Shen figure out the clues or even evidence that these three golden elixir monks originated from the Meng family?" Shen Lingshu shook his head: "I can't figure it out." "This may be because Meng Kui is very rigorous. From the beginning of the layout, he has already made precautions and calculations." "Can't you trace the source? Can't you see the connection between the other party and the Meng family?" Zhu Xuanji smiled bitterly: "I only saw that these three people took on this mission one after another at You Ci Pavilion." You Ci Pavilion is a famous assassination organization. It is very secretive and has distribution in various cultivation countries. With such a large scale and its ability to survive to this day, it certainly has a foundation. Zhu Xuanji was able to tell at the first glance that the three golden elixirs across from him were all members of You Ci Pavilion, and they already lived up to the name of the gods. Shen Lingshu smiled slightly, but was not surprised: "The Meng family's action this time is probably in revenge for the Yugang Mountain incident." "We eliminated Meng Zizhong, and the Meng family set up an ambush here to eradicate Ning Yifan as a warning."
"If Ning Jiufan and Grandma Yuan both die, the situation in Huoshi Fairy City will shift to Meng Kui's side, and the remaining Zhou family will be left alone." "And in the court, the impact of these two people's sacrifices will reach people's hearts and greatly weaken the royal family's prestige!" Zhu Xuanji said: "The strength of Ning Zhuo and the Ning family can be regarded as a great success." "Our plan was to come to Kirigakure Mountain to investigate the Fox God, but the result was a mistake. We will not sit back and watch Ning die in battle." Shen Lingshu looked solemn: "It seems like this is a coincidence." "But we can't rule out that it was caused by human life or the king's order." "Ning Yifan will definitely save him, but we might as well watch the battle for a while and let his energy be absorbed." Shen Lingshu went on to tell his plan: "If Ning Zhuo masters the supernatural power, the possibility of Ning surrendering is extremely high." "In this way, the two sides are connected. If Ning Jiaofan's side declines, it will inevitably affect Ning Zhuo's side." "If Ning Zhuo also planted a thread of life for other people, their vitality will be low, ranging from unconsciousness to severe misfortune, which will all show up." "This is a good opportunity for verification." Zhu Xuanji recalled the many secrets he learned in the royal capital: "In the past, the Supreme Emperor also suffered a great setback due to the disadvantage of human life hanging on the line, and almost destroyed his country and died." There is never anything perfect in the world. Some are long and some are short. There are advantages, but naturally there are disadvantages. The thread of life connects the Qi. If the Emperor gets bad luck and the Qi drops, others will share the burden. In this way, it will have the effect of suffering on behalf of the king. But after all, it is not the real king's destiny. Therefore, once everyone suffers a disaster, or the vitality of some of them drops too much, the Supreme Emperor will also be unlucky. In the past years, it was precisely because of this that Emperor Nandou encountered disaster and narrowly escaped death. "Wait a minute." An idea flashed in Zhu Xuanji's mind and he asked, "What if my Buddha Heart Demon Seal really has the power to suppress Qi?" Shen Lingshu thought deeply: "It depends on how powerful my Buddha's Heart Devil Seal is to suppress energy. Whether it can only protect himself, or whether it can benefit others." "Even if the treasure seal is powerful, Ning Zhuo is only at the foundation building level at this time, and he will not be able to exert his true power at all." "Back then, didn't the Supreme Emperor also have a magic weapon that could suppress his own energy?" "After all, there's no harm in giving it a try." Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: "That's fine, let's just do it." The Wanli Wandering Dragon traveled through the void at extremely high speeds. Silver threads appeared and appeared from time to time under the dark curtain. The lower body of the Wanliyoulong was shining with blood-colored light and shadow. This is the work of the master of Blood Shadow Cave. Suddenly broad daylight appeared ahead, and the next moment, a dragon wandering thousands of miles emerged from the void and came to the present world.
Sun Lingtong did not dare to be careless at all and continued to drive the Wanli Wandering Dragon into the dense mountain forest. After moving around for a long time, it finally stopped. "It's so dangerous, so exciting!" Sun Lingtong licked his lips, and his heartbeat gradually slowed down. He glanced down at his hands. Half of the palm has turned into stone skin, just like the appearance of the stone ball at the bottom of the cave. Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth and could only continue to use magic to suppress it, and then controlled the mechanism Youlong to check Ning Zhuo's situation. Seeing Ning Zhuo fainted on the ground but still breathing, Sun Lingtong's eyes turned red and she wanted to slap herself in the mouth. "I'm going to take risks alone to find excitement, so forget it." "This time, Xiao Zhuo was implicated. Oh, how could I be so unwise? I really deserve a beating!!" Sun Lingtong blamed herself especially, but in this state, she did not dare to approach Ning Zhuo rashly. Fortunately, Sun Lingtong also has many organizational accomplishments. Immediately, he took out the machine puppet and controlled it with his spiritual consciousness, indirectly contacting Ning Zhuo and helping him wake up quickly. After Ning Zhuo woke up, he was relieved to learn that he had escaped, but he was full of fear. Sun Lingtong sighed and said, "Xiao Zhuo, it was me who got you into trouble and almost killed you." Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Boss, I was worried about your injury and secretly wanted revenge on the Liudong Sect, so I didn't stop you from continuing to take risks. I was also at fault!" "How are your injuries now?" Sun Lingtong told Ning Zhuo truthfully. He shrugged his shoulders and gritted his teeth: "I originally wanted to follow the clues and find out the information about the old monster in the stone. I didn't expect that the other party could actually see through the Wandering Dragon!" He was so angry that he wanted to slap himself on the head. Looking back now, what happened? It is his nature to like and pursue excitement, but before that, he was too irrational. "Having lived in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City for a long time, you have had too many comfortable days, so are you slacking off?" "Oh, forget it if something happens to you, if it affects Xiao Zhuo..." "He has immortal talent and a bright future. He has been planning hard for more than ten years. His life has just improved, he has family and friends, and he is also liked by female nuns. It's not like me who is just a loner. If he died here because of me..." Sun Lingtong's heart was filled with self-blame, and she secretly warned herself that in the future, whenever Ning Zhuo was around, she would never take such risks. This escape experience deeply touched Sun Lingtong's heart. Throughout the whole process, Ning Zhuo was indeed implicated by Sun Lingtong. If he had discovered the stone balls at the bottom of the cave in the dragon head cabin, he would not have been as eager to mine them as Sun Lingtong. However, Ning Zhuo was used to it. In Fire Persimmon City, he took action many times to get Sun Lingtong out of his cell.
The deep friendship between him and Sun Lingtong is not only the ability to trust each other's back without any scruples at the moment of life and death. There is a deeper level - even if the other party makes a mistake, you will easily forgive and even make amends for the other party. Ning Zhuo comforted him: "Although Yuanying monks can travel through the void, they can only do this with the help of Yuanying. It is difficult to do so with a physical body." Therefore, it is quite difficult for the Nascent Soul cultivator to be completely killed. Once the physical body is destroyed, their Nascent Soul can escape from the body and escape into the void, looking for opportunities to seize the body and come back for revenge. "The Wandering Dragon can take us through the void with us. Even if those Nascent Soul monks want to catch up, they are unlikely to take out the Nascent Soul, break away from the body, and risk their lives in pursuit." A monk's Nascent Soul is the result of a whole body of practice, and it is extremely important for the future path. Unless absolutely necessary, one would not easily take risks with the Nascent Soul. "It's precisely because of this that we ran into the Six-hole Faction to explore, isn't it?" "Our successful escape this time also proves this point. If the Demonic Heart Cave Master really wants to abandon his physical body and use his Nascent Soul to chase us, I'm afraid the other two cave masters will attack his physical body." "Boss." "We also gained a lot this time." "For example, I saw the machine carriage that my mother rode in back then, and I knew that Lin You would get it. I must take this carriage back!" "Without this adventure, how would I have known such important news?" Sun Lingtong shook his head and spoke through the puppet: "Xiao Zhuo, please don't comfort me." "Our losses this time are not small." "Wanli Youlong was attacked by the Demon Heart Cave Master before, and about 30% of the area needs to be repaired." "The second half of the machine dragon's body has been eroded by the blood shadow. This should be the tracking method of the blood shadow cave master. If it cannot be removed, we will be noticed by the blood shadow cave master in the future when we approach Qianfeng Forest." Ning Zhuo shook his head and sat up slowly: "None of this is important, boss." "The first priority is to resolve your injury." "Xiao Zhuo..." Even though Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo had been together for more than ten years, they felt a warm current in their hearts at this moment. Sun Lingtong: "But now, the machine dragon can no longer get close to Qianfeng Forest. If we act alone and rely on our cultivation and combat power, we probably won't be able to penetrate into the depths of Qianfeng Forest. After all, the war is now Qianfeng Forest is already heavily guarded. Foreign faces like ours will be very conspicuous." Ning Zhuo laughed: "Don't worry, Boss, I have figured out a way."
