Undercurrent

   The trouble with the black market was one of the things Ning Zhuo had expected.

  He wasn't surprised.

  "If it really doesn't work out, then abandon the black market completely and hide.

”

  The black market is nothing compared to the lava palace.

If Ning Zhuo is disturbed in this respect and invests energy and time, it means that the enemy's scheme has succeeded.

  Of course, total withdrawal is only a last resort.

At this stage, it's not like

  Ning Zhuo immediately replied, asking the black market to seek help from Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, the two former clan elders.

  Ning Zhuo's strategy is long-term, and he has long anticipated that he will encounter many difficulties when he takes the palace examination.

Therefore, he made arrangements in advance, one of which was to convince Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, the two former elders.

  These two people played a very important role in Ning Zhuo's overthrow of Ning Xiaoren.

  They are all very optimistic and willing to subsidize Ning Zhuo.

  Only such a heavyweight could control the hearts of the people, so that the leaderless black market would have an authoritative higher-ups and not panic.

  In the letter, he also requested the black market to transfer a group of people to the Lava Palace.

  These people, led by Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangxiang, led a large number of Ning family cultivators. They also forcibly gathered members from Monkey Head Gang, Turtle Breath Gang and Crane Mouth Gang. The total number of people exceeded 100.

  "The so-called power is for my use, not for my excessive investment in this power.

”

  Ning Zhuo has a deep understanding of this point.

  When would he not use this force that he had built with all his heart?

   The second round of the palace examination

  Question 11

  Sun Lingtong's victory made his teeth itch, but he could do nothing about it.

  Ning Zhuo wins more than loses. Although he tries his best to keep a low profile, he can't keep a low profile anymore.

  Whether it was on the ring or standing in the square, the cultivators 'gazes towards him changed.

Even Jindan cultivators treated him seriously as a strong enemy.

  "I didn't expect that a Qi Refiner junior would stand out.

”

  "Ning Zhuo really has two brushes.

”

  "Every time Ning Zhuo faced Zhu Xuanji and Ning gave in, he would admit defeat.

If this continues, his record might even be higher!"

  Many people praised him and secretly exchanged glances. They all realized that Ning Zhuo could not continue to win like this.

  However, Ning Zhuo was extremely cautious and hid in his residence all day. Next door was Ning Fan, the ancestor of the Ning family.

  This makes many people feel powerless and sigh helplessly.

  Lava palace at night, fire raging, bright as day

  Ever since the volcano erupted and the beast tide surged, the sky above the Lava Palace has always been thick with clouds and clouds, and the sun has never been seen.

  Ning Xiaoren had been fighting here for some time, and he gradually couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

  He's been fighting for hours.

His face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. The continuous high-intensity battle made him want to fall head first and fall asleep.

  But he couldn't. He could only endure tiredness and fatigue.

  "It's here. There's a demonic beast in the southeast corner.

Suddenly, a monk shouted.

  After a few breaths, the scouting cultivator spoke again,"Be careful. These demonic beasts are all Flame Lizard. We must attack ahead of time. We can't let them charge into our position."

”

  Ning Xiaoren and the others formed a small group of cultivators, stationed at the corner, and set up a magic array to defend against danger.

  Most of them are cultivators from Ning Family's main line.

  Although Ning Xiaoren was expelled from the family, cooperating at this time did not violate any family rules.

  Hearing the warning, Ning Xiaoren gritted his teeth and urged his almost exhausted magic power to adjust the magic array.

  Magic circles are much faster and more powerful than individual spells

  Ice spears like giant trees condensed and shot out one after another.

  The ice lance killed the multi-headed flame lizard and angered the remaining half.

  The Flame Lizard roared and rushed towards Ning Xiaoren.

  Within the array, cultivators immediately controlled the array and cast a large number of mechanical artifacts.

  These mechanisms were mainly used to charge cars. Although they were smashed into pieces by the Flame Lizard, they also successfully stopped their charge, causing their speed to decrease greatly.

  Ning Xiaoren panted heavily and felt sick.

He's exhausted. He can only retreat temporarily.

  Immediately, a backup cultivator took his place, occupying the array eye and controlling the array.

  Even after the fierce spell attack, there was still a Flame Lizard charging forward.

  "Oh no, we haven't recruited any body cultivators yet!" The cultivators 'faces turned pale.

  At this moment, a crazy voice sounded."Afraid! Who made my Xiaohui afraid? Look at me, Xiaohui, don't be afraid!"

   As she spoke, Ning Xiaohui's grandmother jumped out of the magic formation and charged straight at the Flame Lizard.

  She collided with the Flame Lizard and then flew back. She crashed through two buildings before falling to the ground.

  She had almost all the fractures in her body, and she couldn't stop coughing up blood. Her protective magic weapon was destroyed.

  "This lunatic!" Ning Xiaoren's pupils contracted when he saw this scene.

  The cultivators of the Ning family's main line also had different expressions.

  Thanks to Grandma Ning Xiaohui's desperate efforts to stop them, they finally seized the last opportunity. A round of spell coverage killed the last Flame Lizard.

  The magic circle turned safe, but Ning Xiaoren's heart was heavy

  "Demonic beasts have thick skin and flesh. This is just a group of Foundation Establishment level Crimson Flame Demonic Beasts.

”

  "If I were at the Jindan stage, would I be able to retreat safely?"

  Ning Xiaoren is not sure at all

  He looked at Grandma Ning Xiaohui again.

At this moment, some Ning family cultivators had already run out of the magic array and came to Grandma's side to begin healing.

  "She's crazy.

”

  "Ning Xiaohui's death hit her too hard.

”

  "I'm actually spending time with such a lunatic, in the same array?"

  Ning Xiaoren felt a wave of fear

    "It's all Ning Zhuo's fault!"

  "If it weren't for him, would I have become a prisoner? If it weren't for him, would I have risked my life to earn merit here as an exiled family member?"

  "Ning Zhuo deserves to die, deserve to die!"

  "The heavens are blind, and they actually let this treacherous and evil thief get better and better.

What the hell are those Jindan Stage geniuses doing?"

  "Can't even deal with Ning Zhuo?!"

  Ning Xiaoren's situation was just a microcosm of the Lava Immortal Palace.

  Lava Asgard destroyed, pros and cons

  The advantage was that Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could enter even if they didn't have any knowledge of mechanisms.

  Under the leadership of Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji, Fire Peristle Immortal City transferred a large number of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators to Lava Immortal Palace.

  The number of cultivators was huge. It was like a timely rain that filled all the battle lines.

  With their participation, the defense line in the inner circle of the Lava Immortal Palace made up for the surroundings. It was very solid and firmly blocked the advance of the demon beast tide.

  After all, there weren't many Jindan level individuals among the Crimson Flame Demonic Beasts.

Once it appears, it will be targeted by concentrated fire, and few will survive.

  As for the real threat to the Lava Immortal Palace, Meng Kui had also blocked and implicated the two Nascent Soul Stage demonic beasts.

  However, judging from the battle situation, Meng Kui was fighting two enemies one by one and was often at a disadvantage.

  Nascent Soul stage demon beasts often have achievements, breaking the outer periphery of the Lava Immortal Palace piece by piece.

  The more the Lava Palace breaks and loses, the lower the power of the restrictions.

  He is now in the Qi Refinement Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. He can take advantage of the loopholes and directly enter the Immortal Palace.

According to this trend, after that, it will be Aurous Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who can enter the palace.

  "Ning Xiaoren, you are too tired.

"Go back and rest. When you're done recuperating, you can join the battle again!" The Ning Family's main bloodline cultivator still took care of Ning Xiaoren a lot.

  Ning Xiaoren nodded. After recovering a little mana, he could not wait to retreat from the front line.

  On his way back, he saw a large crowd gathered

  Curious, he approached and found out it was a homicide.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was killed by a sneak attack. His heart was pierced and his soul disappeared.

  "Bukong Sect attacked again! The deceased had just participated in the court examination during the day, and he lost his life at night. Sigh…"

  "These demons are really going to do everything they can to obtain the Lava Immortal Palace!"

   Ning Xiaoren heard the specific truth and could not help but grit his teeth: "Why don't you assassinate Ning Zhuo? Good people don't live long, and evil lasts for thousands of years."

This bullshit world!"

  This is the third recent murder of a member of the court examination.

  Two successfully killed the target, and one seriously wounded.

  Strictly speaking, a serious injury is considered a success.

Because the injured cultivator was in poor condition, he lost to the end in the arena competition.

  The palace examiners could not attack each other, but they could use the help of others to plot against and suppress each other.

  The competition against the Lava Palace is not only the court examination by day, but also the attack at night.

  It can be predicted that individual cultivators without deep roots and backing will be eliminated one after another and lose their lives.

  Ning Xiaoren returned to his own residence and fell asleep.

  The next moment, he was awakened by the coldness of the dagger around his neck.

  "Who?!" Ning Xiaoren was shocked.

  The masked assassin held a dagger and threatened Ning Xiaoren's life at all times: "Tell me about Ning Zhuo."

”

  "You, you want to deal with him?" Ning Xiaoren reacted and looked stunned,"No, I will not betray my people."

”

  The visitor sneered,"Stop pretending. Who doesn't know about your feud with him?"

  "Besides, you've already been expelled from the family, all thanks to Ning Zhuo! He's no longer your clansman, the former Young Patriarch of the Ning family.

”

  Ning Xiaoren's face quickly darkened, and his eyes flashed with hatred."What do you want to know?"

  "All

The voice of the masked man was calm.

  Ning Xiaoren: "How do I know? If I tell you everything, will you let me go?"

   The masked man shook his head,"You don't know, and I can't guarantee it."

All you need to know is that you have to please me.

If you don't like it, I'll cut your head off.

”

  Ned said,"Okay, okay, okay."

”

  He was pretty specific.

  The masked killer was not satisfied: "I know all this."

”

  He pried open Ning Xiaoren's teeth with the tip of his dagger and sent a Gu worm into his mouth.

  The Gu worm drilled all the way down into Ning Xiaoren's heart

  The masked assassin gently activated. Ning Xiaoren immediately covered his chest with his hand. He twisted and rolled on the bed in pain, like an electrocuted maggot.

  The masked killer tortured him for a while before he stopped: "Your answer makes me very dissatisfied."

”

  "I'll give you a mission now. Do your best to obstruct Ning Zhuo and interfere with him.

”

  "Otherwise, I'll let you die in this heart-eating pain.

”

  Ning Xiaoren quickly waved his hand and desperately begged for mercy: "Lord, this Lord, don't be impulsive, I will do it, I will definitely do it!"

”

  "Ning Zhuo is my enemy. We're on the same team. We're on the same side!"

  The masked assassin laughed coldly,"It's good that you have this consciousness."

You have three days to get results, or you die.

”

  After saying that, the masked killer disappeared in front of Ning Xiaoren.

  Come and go without a trace

  Ning Xiaoren bit his lips and slammed his fist on the bed."Ning Zhuo! Ning Zhuo! I almost died because of you, you damn thing!"

  "I want to kill you, I want to kill you!"

   However, after a while, Ning Xiaoren gradually regained consciousness.

  "Ning Zhuo, that son of a b * tch, has done too many shameful things in his daily life.

Since the palace examination, he has been hiding and living next door to Ning Fan.

”

  "Under the protection of a Golden Core cultivator, what can I use to kill him?"

  "This dog thief is too much, too much!"
