Encountering trouble in the black market was one of the situations that Ning Zhuo had already expected.
He didn't feel the slightest surprise.
"If it really doesn't work, I will completely abandon the black market and shrink back."
Compared with the Lava Immortal Palace, the black market is just a small detail. If Ning Zhuo was disturbed in this regard and invested energy and time, it meant that the enemy's conspiracy had succeeded.
Of course, a total backdown is only a last-ditch response. At this stage, it is not yet.
Ning Zhuo immediately replied, asking the black market to seek help from Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, two former family elders.
Ning Zhuo had a long-term plan and had already anticipated the many difficulties he would encounter during the palace examination. Therefore, he made arrangements in advance, one of which was to persuade Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, two former family elders.
These two people played a very important role in Ning Zhuo's overthrow of Ning Xiaoren.
They are all optimistic about the family branch and are willing to sponsor Ning Zhuo.
Only such a heavyweight can calm people's hearts and let the leaderless black market have authoritative executives and not be panicked.
In the letter, he also asked the black market to draw a group of manpower to enter the Lava Immortal Palace.
This group of people, led by the two former deacons Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangqian, led a large number of Ning family monks, and also forcibly summoned members from the Monkey Head Gang, Turtle Breath Gang, and Crane Mouth Gang, with a total number of more than 100 people.
"The so-called power is for me, not for me to invest too much in this force."
Ning Zhuo has a deep understanding of this.
This force he managed with his heart is not used at this time, when will he stay?
The second round of the palace examination.
Eleventh test question.
Sun Lingtong won a complete victory, which made others so angry that their teeth itched, but they couldn't help it.
Although he tried his best to keep a low profile, he couldn't keep a low profile anymore.
Whether it was in the ring or standing in the square, the way the monks looked at him changed. Even the Jindan level monks treated him solemnly as a strong enemy.
"I didn't expect that a junior qi refiner would stand out."
"Ning Zhuo does have two brushes."
"Every time, when Ning Zhuo faces Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan, he will take the initiative to admit defeat. If this really continues, maybe his record will be even higher!"
Many people praised it in their mouths, secretly exchanged glances vaguely, and realized that they could not let Ning Zhuo win like this.
However, Ning Zhuo was extremely cautious and huddled in the residence all day long, next door was the ancestor of the Ning family, Ning Jifan.
This makes many people feel helpless and constantly sigh helplessly.
The lava fairy palace late at night, the fire was fierce and bright as day.
Since the volcano erupted, the beast tide was surging, and the sky over the lava fairy palace was always full of clouds and smoke, and the light of day was not seen.
Ning Xiaoren has been fighting here for a while, and he has gradually lost his ability to tell whether it is daytime or night.
He had been fighting for more than ten hours in a row. His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and the continuous high-intensity battle made him want to fall down and fall asleep immediately.
But he couldn't, he could only endure drowsiness and exhaustion.
"There is a monster in the southeast corner." Suddenly, a monk shouted.
After a few breaths, the monk in charge of the investigation spoke again: "Be careful, these monsters are all flame lizards, we must attack in advance to prevent them from impacting our position."
Ning Xiaoren and others formed a team of monks, stationed at the street corner, arranged a magic circle, and defended the danger.
They are mainly monks from the main lineage of the Ning family.
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 the mana in his body to be depleted to dispatch the magic circle.
The magic circle casting is much faster than that of an individual, and it is more powerful.
Giant wood-like ice guns condensed in an instant and sprayed one after another.
The ice spear shot multiple flame lizards and angered the remaining half.
The flame lizard roared and rushed towards Ning Xiaoren's direction.
In the magic circle, there were immediately monks controlling the magic circle and releasing a large number of mechanical creations.
Although they were all smashed by the flame lizards, they also successfully stopped their charge, causing their speed to be greatly reduced.
Ning Xiaoren gasped and felt nauseous. His mana was exhausted and he could only retreat temporarily.
Immediately, a reserve monk replaced him, occupying the array eye and controlling the magic formation.
After the powerful spell bombardment, there was still a flame lizard rushing forward.
"Oh no, we haven't recruited physical training yet!" The monks' faces turned pale.
At this moment, a crazy voice came: "I'm afraid! Who scared my Xiaohui? Look at grandma, Xiaohui, don't be afraid!"
Saying that, Ning Xiaohui's grandmother threw out the magic circle and rushed straight towards the flame lizard.
Her whole body collided with the flame lizard, and then threw back, crashing through two buildings, and then fell to the ground.
She almost broke her whole body, coughed up blood, and the protective magic weapon collapsed directly.
"You madman!" When Ning Xiaoren saw this scene, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The monks of the Ning family's main lineage also had different expressions.
Thanks to Grandma Ning Xiaohui's desperate attempt to stop them, they finally seized the last opportunity, covered it with a round of spells, and killed the last flame lizard.
The magic circle turned from danger to safety, but Ning Xiaoren's heart was heavy.
"The monster beast has rough skin and thick flesh, this is just a group of foundation-building level red flame monsters."
"If it is a golden elixir, can I retreat safely?"
Ning Xiaoren was not sure at all.
He looked at Grandma Ning Xiaohui again. At this time, a monk from the Ning family had already run out of the magic circle, came to grandma, and began to treat him.
"She's already crazy."
"Ning Xiaohui's death hit her too hard."
"I actually get along with such a madman day and night, in the same magic circle?"
Ning Xiaoren felt a wave of fear.
"It's all Ning Zhuo's fault, this rabbit!"
"If it weren't for him, how could I have become a prisoner, if it weren't for him, I would have risked my life here to earn merit by risking my life as an expulsion from my family?"
"Ning Zhuo deserves to die, damn it!"
"The sky has no eyes, and it actually makes this treacherous and insidious thief get better and better. The record in the second round of the palace examination is among the best! What the hell are those golden pills and geniuses doing?"
"Can't even Ning Zhuo deal with it?!"
Ning Xiaoren's situation was just a microcosm of the lava fairy palace.
The Lava Immortal Palace was destroyed, and there were pros and cons.
The advantage is that monks in the qi refining period and foundation building period, even if they do not have a little institutional attainment, can enter it.
Under the leadership of Meng Yan and Zhu Xuanji, Fire Persimmon Immortal City dispatched a large number of qi refining and foundation-building level monks to enter the Lava Immortal Palace.
This group of monks was huge, like a timely rain, filling all the fronts.
With their participation, the defense line of the inner circle of the lava fairy palace made up for the surroundings, it was very solid, firmly blocking the advance of the monster beast tide.
After all, among the red flame monster beasts, there are not many individuals of the Golden Pill level. Once they appear, they will be targeted by fire, and few survive.
As for the real threat to the Lava Immortal Palace, those two primordial infant-level monster beasts were also resisted and involved by Meng Yan.
It's just that judging from the battle situation, Meng Yan is one enemy and often falls into disadvantage.
The primordial infant-level monster beast often had a record of shattering the periphery of the lava fairy palace piece after piece.
The more the Lava Immortal Palace was broken and lost, the lower the power of the prohibition.
Now is the Qi refining period and the foundation building period, and you can take advantage of the loopholes and directly enter the fairy palace. According to this trend, after that, the monks in the Jindan period and the primordial infant stage will be able to enter the palace.
"Ning Xiaoren, you are too tired. Go back and rest, rest and recuperate, and then join the battle!" The main lineage monk of the Ning family still cares a lot about Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren nodded, and after recovering a little mana, he couldn't wait to retreat from the front line.
On the way back, he saw a large crowd gathered.
Curious, he approached to inquire and found out that it was a murder. A foundation building monk was attacked to death, and his death was that his heart was pierced and his soul was gone.
"It's not empty and it's going to be shot again! The deceased had just participated in the palace examination during the day and lost his life at night, alas......"
"These demons are really doing everything they can to obtain the Lava Immortal Palace!"
Ning Xiaoren found out the specific truth and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Why don't you assassinate Ning Zhuo? Good people do not live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years. This bullshit world!"
This is the third recent murder of a member of the palace examination.
Two successfully killed the target and seriously injured one.
Strictly speaking, serious injuries can be considered successful. Because the injured monk was in extremely poor condition, he lost the ring competition to the end.
The palace examiners cannot attack each other, but they can use the hands of others to carry out conspiracies and suppression.
The competition for the Lava Immortal Palace was not only the palace test during the day, but also the attack at night.
It is foreseeable that scattered practitioners who fight alone and have no deep foundation and backing will be eliminated one after another and lose their lives.
Ning Xiaoren returned to his residence, fell into bed and went to sleep.
The next moment, he was awakened by the coldness of the dagger resting around his neck.
"Who is it?!" Ning Xiaoren was shocked.
The masked killer was holding a dagger, threatening Ning Xiaoren's life at all times: "Tell me about Ning Zhuo."
"You, are you going to deal with him?" Ning Xiaoren reacted, his expression was stunned, "No, I will not betray my people."
The visitor sneered: "Don't pretend, who doesn't know about your grudge against him?"
"Besides, you have been expelled from the family, and this is all thanks to Ning Zhuo! He is no longer your clan, the former young patriarch of the Ning family."
Ning Xiaoren's face quickly darkened, and a resentful light flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to know?"
"All." The masked man's tone 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. You just need to know that you have to satisfy me. If you are not satisfied, I will just cut off your head."
Ning Xiaoren hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I said, I said."
He spoke in great detail.
The masked killer was not satisfied: "I know all this."
He used the tip of the dagger to pry open Ning Xiaoren's jaws, sending a Gu worm into his mouth.
The Gu worms drilled all the way down and into Ning Xiaoren's heart.
The masked killer activated gently, and Ning Xiaoren immediately covered his chest with his hands, twisting and rolling on the bed in pain, like a maggot electrocuted.
The masked killer tortured him severely for a while, and then stopped: "Your answer makes me very dissatisfied."
"I will now assign you a task, do my best to obstruct Ning Zhuo and interfere with him with all my might."
"Otherwise, I will let you die tragically under this heart-wrenching pain."
Ning Xiaoren hurriedly waved his hand and desperately begged for mercy: "My lord, this lord, don't be impulsive, I will do it, I will definitely do it."
"Ning Zhuo is my enemy, we are in a group, we are our own people!"
The masked killer sneered: "It's good if you have this awareness. You have three days to receive results, otherwise you will die."
After saying that, the masked killer disappeared in front of Ning Xiaoren's eyes.
There is no shadow of it, and there is no trace of it.
Ning Xiaoren bit his lip and slammed his fist on the edge of the bed: "Ning Zhuo! Ning Zhuo!! I almost died because of you, you damn thing!"
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
However, after being ruthless for a while, Ning Xiaoren gradually regained his consciousness.
"Ning Zhuo, this bastard, has done a lot of bad things on weekdays. Since the palace examination, I have been shrinking and living next door to Ning Jiufan."
"Under the protection of a Jindan monk, what should I use to kill him?"
"This dog thief is too dog, too dog!"
