Fire persimmon fairy mountain.
On the top of the mountain, deep in the clouds.
The city lord of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City sat cross-legged in the air and summoned Jindan subordinate Chi Dun.
Chi Dun was a middle-aged man, blind, short in stature, but strong and muscular, like a walking stone pier.
"Chi Dun, I order you to track down the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator with all your might." The city lord sat on a futon, with white smoke and black clouds rolling around him, like the anger and gloom in his heart.
Chi Dun looked embarrassed: "My lord, if you give an order, your subordinates will definitely go through fire and water at any cost. But your subordinate majors in the exercise "Stone Heart Slowing Military Skills", you know, it may be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility."
"It's okay." The city lord waved his hand slightly, and a magic weapon flew out of his cuff.
This magic weapon is tender yellow all over, small and exquisite, and it is a bell.
The bell flew towards Chi Dun, who quickly stretched out his hands to take it.
The city lord ordered: "With this alarm bell, you have the ability to track down the demon cultivator. Do it with all your might!"
Chi Dun took his leave, took the alarm bell, and came to the prison in the first step.
"First easy and then difficult, these Ning family monks are the parties involved. Go interrogate them first. Otherwise, after a while, the Ning family will come and take people away, and it will be difficult to handle."
"The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator used them to disguise himself before, which attracted Zheng Shuanggou's attention. Maybe there is an insider of the demon cultivator here?"
Although he thought so, Chi Dun also knew that this possibility was actually quite small.
However, he just took the opportunity to use the magic weapon alarm bell to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible.
Ning Zhuo and the others were rescued by Zheng Shuanggou and were not arrested. As a result, the Immortal Palace was born, and the Dharma transmission bell resounded throughout the city, which caused a big uproar.
The city lord personally ordered that all the surviving monks, including them, be imprisoned.
On the one hand, they are interrogating and looking for clues, and on the other hand, they are also using their authority to force them to strictly guard the secret of the birth of the fairy palace.
At this point, the city lord tried his best to remedy it and tried his best to cover up the secret of the fairy palace.
Chi Dun first picked the Ning family monks in the foundation building period, and soon after, it was the turn of the Qi refining period.
Ning Zhuo, as one of them, was soon introduced into a single room and faced Chi Dun alone.
Chi Dun flipped through the transcript in his hand without raising his head, his consciousness had already enveloped Ning Zhuo's whole body: "Aren't you a member of the Demon Hunting Society? Why did you suddenly go to the Red Flame Demon Cave?"
Ning Zhuo swallowed his saliva, glanced at Chi Dun in awe, and lowered his head at the next moment, only daring to look at the ground.
He stammered and explained, telling him about the things he had met Ning Chen and Ning Yong before, which were stirred by their words, and said the rest of the story.
Chi Dun frowned when he heard this.
He was not interested in a young monk like Ning Zhuo at all.
"This little guy only has a mere three-layer cultivation of qi refinement, the first time he went down the lava cave, he encountered something like this, his luck is really bad."
"No, he is lucky to survive the disaster. Most of the monks, stronger than him, lost their lives."
If only Ning Zhuo was alive, he would be quite conspicuous at this moment.
But this is not the case, there are three newcomers in the Qi Cultivation Period who survived. Ning Shen and Ning Yong are both here.
"That black shadow demon cultivator first used the corpses of monster beasts to lure everyone in the Ning family all the way, and then provoked the tide of monster beasts, all to cover up their own aura."
"He is purely using the monks of the Ning family and using them as cannon fodder, and it is very unlikely that the Ning family will have his insiders."
"If I were him, even if I were looking for an insider, I wouldn't look for this kind of little guy with three layers of qi refinement."
Of course, Chi Dun would not be so paralyzed and careless.
In fact, he has been ringing the alarm bell and opening the interrogation array in the interrogation room.
If someone in the Ning family has ill intentions towards Chi Dun, the alarm bell will sound a warning bell.
The question circle can distinguish whether a person is insincere.
As long as the words and intentions do not match, the heart circle will emit red and yellow light.
During the entire process of interrogating Ning Zhuo, there was no movement in the alarm bell or the interrogation formation.
Originally, Chi Dun didn't have much suspicion about a small person like Ning Zhuo, but according to the alarm bell and the heart array, he completely cleared up his suspicions.
"You go out." Chi Dun ordered Ning Zhuo, "Huh?"
He was slightly surprised.
Ning Zhuo shed two nosebleeds.
Ning Zhuo was surprised for a moment, then wiped the back of his hand under the wing of his nose and saw the blood on the back of his hand.
He quickly waved his hand: "My lord, it's okay, it's okay! Maybe it's a dark wound left in the lava cave, but I didn't have anything to do with it. I feel good now!"
Chi Dun hummed, stopped talking, and just waved his hand.
Ning Zhuo bowed to Chi Dun, left quickly, opened the door gently, and closed the door gently.
Chi Dun was about to interrogate the next one, paused, his consciousness diverged, and communicated with the guard outside the door: "You go and tell them to treat the monks of the Ning family well. Are you slacking off? Why are there still people with hidden injuries? Cure them all for me!"
The Ning family was one of the three major families in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and Chi Dun didn't want to offend.
Of course, if a certain Ning family monk was found to be colluding with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, it would be a different matter.
Ning Zhuo was taken down and immediately received a new round of treatment.
He had a nosebleed, which naturally secretly triggered my Buddha's heart demon seal.
This treasure seal can engrave the heart seal, influence their thoughts externally, and protect themselves internally, suppressing and clearing up various thoughts and emotions.
It is to cross others into demons and self into Buddhas.
Ning Zhuo was led back to the cell.
Before entering, he heard the sound of arguments in the cell.
The monks of the Ning family were having a heated discussion about the content of the bell transmission.
Ning Zhuo walked into the cell, and many Ning family monks turned to look at him, and when they saw that Ning Zhuo was unharmed, some nodded slightly to him, and then turned to participate in discussions and disputes.
In this trip to the lava cave, Ning Zhuo lived and died with them, and the relationship was much closer.
Ning Chen and Ning Yong got up and took the initiative to come to Ning Zhuo's side and ask with concern.
They are originally classmates and have a basic relationship.
Although the two of them were also ordered by Ning Fighter, Ning Zhuo did almost lose his life, so they felt guilty about it.
It's not just guilt.
In the lava cave party, although Ning Zhuo was afraid in the face of danger, he still burst out with courage. At the moment of death, it also inspired the bravery of Ning Yong and Ning Shen.
This kind of performance made Ning Chen and Ning Yong feel both cordial and admirable.
All kinds of feelings and emotions made the relationship between these two people change qualitatively.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
"We are the monks of the Ning family, and the ancestor is also a golden elixir. If someone uses any soul search technique on us, the family will definitely support us!"
Ning Shen and Ning Yong each said one sentence.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "When I first went in, I was a little nervous."
"But from beginning to end, I was not made difficult."
"I think it's quite simple, just tell the truth."
He in turn comforted Ning Shen and Ning Yong.
"Okay." Ning Yong and Ning Shen responded at the same time.
The next moment, the guard summoned and called both of them away together.
Ning Zhuo walked into the cell, found his own place in the corner.
He had a small bench with a small table in front of him. There were fruits, nuts, and hot tea on the table.
The same is true for the treatment of other Ning family monks.
This is of course abnormal, it all depends on the identity of the Ning family.
Ning Zhuo's location is in the corner of the dungeon.
In the corner not far away, there was a pile of smelly tattered thatch, a large area of dried blood on the brick wall, and finger marks on the surface of the cell railing. Being in it, it seems that you can hear the cries and begs of the prisoners for mercy.
Ning Zhuo knew in his heart: once the matter was exposed, what happened to him would be even more miserable and terrible than these prisoners. The first one who didn't let him go might not be the city lord's side, but the Ning family! At that time, these friendly Ning family monks around him would turn their angry faces and chase him with all their might.
Ning Zhuo has no remorse.
Bombing the Immortal Palace was a decision he had made up a long time ago, so what if he took risks with his own life?
He sat down slowly and reached for a roasted chestnut.
The shell of the chestnut was easily crushed between his two fingers, making a crisp sound.
The kernels were taken away by him, chewed, and swallowed into his stomach.
The current lava fairy palace is like this nut chestnut, the case has been shattered by Ning Zhuo fiercely, and the standard has been lowered.
But how to eat the nuts in it still has to be carefully thought about and extremely cautious.
The matter was too big, and Ning Zhuo was just three layers of qi refinement, completely walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will reveal flaws, like stepping on ice, falling into the ice lake, and being swallowed up by the undercurrent.
Back then, Ning Zhuo's mother was like this.
Ning Zhuo chewed the nuts quietly, savoring the deliciousness on the tip of his tongue, as if he was savoring his own dangerous situation.
No one would have expected that this ordinary young man was the real murderer who blew up the fairy palace!
