Chapter 282 The Subtlety of Righteousness

Lava Fairy Palace.

main hall.

"Ah!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit screamed suddenly and woke up from a nightmare.

It subconsciously reached out and touched its head.

"Still there!"

It relaxed and realized that it was not destroyed.

It survived!
Beings like spirits don't have any fatal injuries. So, being beheaded and having limbs cut off are almost the same.

The difference is in the portion size.

When the spiritual energy is lost too much and reaches the limit, the remaining spiritual energy will also disintegrate and dissipate, unless spiritual energy can be replenished from the outside at the moment of life countdown.

At this moment, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's body had shrunk by one third compared to before, leaving only about 60% to 70% of its original size.

Moreover, it was ablaze with fire, much brighter than before, which proved its weakness.

Before, it had a profound foundation, and its flames were extremely bright but restrained, giving people a sense of solidity and heaviness. Now, although its body is scattered and quite bright, it seems erratic and light.

At this time, the calling voice was like the smoke curling in the distance, vague and dissipated, floating into the heart of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit of the Immortal Palace, my heart is set on fire only by you."

"The blazing flames of the Fire Dragon condense the essence of heaven and earth, burning all things and transforming them into spiritual light."

"I call you with a pious heart and solemn thoughts. Respond, respond..."

"All your requests can be discussed. I am a man of the Meng family. Please respond to my call and answer my voice..."

These are the monks of the Meng Family, who have been actively and continuously contacting the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

at the same time.

Ning Zhuo's voice could also be heard faintly, so he simply said: "Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit..."

“Ah!” The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit screamed and shook his head violently, “I’m so annoyed! I’m so annoyed!”

It sat on the armrest of the throne, with its dragon head retracted into its shell.

It roars in its heart.

"I don't care about the Meng family. The only one I care about is Meng Chong!"

"What Ning Zhuo, and Young Master? Pah!"

"The Shiji Pavilion was destroyed because of me. What use are you?"

“You can act!”

"Once you are stared at by Zhu Xuanji, you become weak and useless!"

"I've finally figured out that none of you can do it!"

"It still has to be me. I still have to rely on myself!"

Ning Zhuo couldn't summon the dragon turtle fire spirit no matter what.

He followed closely, following Ning's lead.

Ning Jiufan was not used to him following so closely, so he stopped and turned to look at him: "You little brat, why are you following me so closely?"

Ning Zhuo cupped his hands, his face pale: "Ancestor, Ancestor, I'm scared."

It turned out that after he told the Jindan cultivators about his crimes, he was severely rebuked by Ning Jiufan.

But it was just a scolding.

After all, Zhu Xuanji had forgiven and accepted Ning Zhuo, allowing him to make up for his crime. The three Jindan cultivators could not say anything.

The only exception is Ning Jusuan.

According to the rules of justice, Ning Jufan, as the head of the Ning family, naturally has the right to deal with Ning Zhuo, a member of the Ning family.

But Ning Jiufan only scolded him and did not even hit him. His tone sounded extremely harsh, but any righteous person with a little experience could understand Ning Jiufan's intention to protect him.

After Zhu Xuanji left, the Jindan cultivators discussed for a while and decided to act separately.

Ning Zhuo followed behind Ning Jiufan.

Ning Zhuo said: "Grandfather, I am too dangerous."

"Ning Xiaohui's death is just around the corner. She is the head of the family, secretly working for Master Zhu Xuanji, and is under the care of many Jindan cultivators..."

"She died despite this kind of protection!"

"This Bukong Sect is too scary and too evil."

"I have turned from evil to good, they must have found out. I don't want to die, please have mercy on me and save me!"

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "You don't understand the situation at that time."

"Shiji Pavilion is the primary target. There are so many monsters, and it is difficult to defend in such a hurry."

"But if it weren't for the bombardment of the Five Elements Artillery Tower, we would have succeeded!"

Ning Zhuo spread his hands and said, "The Shiji Pavilion is in ruins. I am too weak to handle it."

Ning Jushu was so angry that he bent his knuckles and slapped Ning Zhuo on the big head.

"Ouch." Ning Zhuo covered his head and cried out in pain.

"When did my Ning family produce a coward like you? Where is the northern spirit of my Ning family?" Ning Jiufan scolded in frustration.

Ning Zhuo looked at Ning Jiufan eagerly and said, "My dear ancestor, look at what you said! If I were not so afraid of death, I would have been killed by the evil demon of Bukong Sect a long time ago."

"As for the Northern Country's character, what is it? When I was born, our Ning family had already migrated to the Southern Bean Country. Wasn't my family driven out of the Northern Wind Country?"

Ning Jiufan immediately blew his beard and glared, and kept knocking Ning Zhuo's big head, muttering: "It was my people who took the initiative to evacuate, they took the initiative to evacuate!"

Ning Zhuo stepped back to avoid Ning Jiufan's slap: "Grandfather, Grandfather, please stop knocking. If you keep knocking I'll become stupid."

Ning Jiufan sneered, "You are still stupid? You are too cunning, hiding your crimes. Zhu Xuanji tricked you so hard that you became paralyzed and surrendered."

"You should be a little dumber, it will do you good."

"Your name is Ning Zhuo, where is your Zhuo?"

Ning Zhuo exclaimed, and seemed to have realized what was happening: "Grandfather, are you saying that Zhu Xuanji is deceiving me? He just suspects me and doesn't have any evidence against me at all?" Ning Jiufan sneered: "What do you think? Did you see him produce any evidence?"

Ning Zhu stared with an expression of disbelief, and whispered: "That, this... Lord Zhu is too cunning!"

Ning Jiufan snorted again.

Ning Zhuo blinked again and again, looking at Ning Rufan, rubbing his hands and saying: "Actually, I am mainly worried. It doesn't matter if I am found out. What I am most afraid of is that it will bring shame to the Ning family and cause trouble to you, the ancestor."

"Heh." Ning Jufan twitched the corner of his mouth.

He still couldn't help laughing at Ning Zhuo's shameless look.

Ning Zhuo's collusion with the evil monks of Bukong Sect was actually nothing in Ning Jiufan's mind.

You know, a common trick used by the righteous is to hire demon cultivators to act as black gloves. Sometimes, they even take the initiative to act as demon cultivators themselves.

Ning Zhuo's situation was simply that he was young and weak, and was secretly controlled by the evil cultivators.

Even if he was also involved in the conspiracy to blow up the Fairy Palace, isn't the Lava Fairy Palace still there?

No big deal!

Now that Ning Zhuo has been exposed and escaped from Bukongmen's control, this is a great thing.

Ning Zhuo's surrender to Zhu Xuanji was beyond Ning Jiusu's expectation and indeed put him in a passive position.

But what can I say? We still have to protect our own children.

Even if you make mistakes, young man, who doesn't make mistakes?
Just educate him behind closed doors. After the education is done, open the door and let him out. Ning Zhuo will still be a member of the Ning family and a pillar of the Ning family in the future.

Ning Xiaohui is dead, and now the only genius in the Ning family who is in the Qi Refining Stage is Ning Zhuo.

If Ning Zhuo also died, or joined an evil sect, the Ning family would be extinct in this generation.

This is not good for the Ning family.

Ning Jiufan was deeply saddened by Ning Xiaohui's death. Such a sad heart made Ning Jiufan even more determined to protect Ning Zhuo.

Zhu Xuanji returned earlier than everyone expected.

He gathered all the Jindan monks together again.

"I have reached an alliance with Lord Mengkui, and I am here to inform you of this good news."

Having said that, Zhu Xuanji couldn't help but fix his gaze on Ning Zhuo.

All those present were Jindan cultivators, and Ning Zhuo, who was in the Qi Refining stage, really felt out of place.

Ning Zhuo saw Zhu Xuanji looking at him, and he bowed quickly: "Greetings, Master Zhu!"

His expression was respectful, his etiquette was up to standard, and there were no mistakes.

Ning Jiufan said, "Now, Ning Zhuo has become the only genius among the younger generation of my Ning family. During this period of time, let him stay with me."

"He has made such a serious mistake. I will enforce the family rules on him and punish him severely!"

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly, agreeing that Ning Zhuo should stay.

The detective sighed secretly in his heart.

From Ning Jufan's response, he could hear the dissatisfaction of this Ning family's Jindan.

Ning Xiaohui is dead.

She was working for Zhu Xuanji, and to some extent was sacrificed as a bait by Zhu Xuanji.

It is human nature to give in to the pain and try to protect one's own shortcomings.

At this moment, Zhu Xuanji became more and more convinced that not searching Ning Zhuo's soul was the right decision!
This is going to be a soul search, which will result in the waste of Ning Zhuo, a genius. If Ning gives in, won't he be furious?

"After all, the Ning family is different from the Zhou family and the Zheng family."

"They wandered here from Beifeng Country. I heard that the Ning family was dissatisfied with Beifeng Country's rule and left on their own, resolutely giving up their interests and connections. They are so fierce that they cannot be manipulated at will!"

With a flash of thought in his mind, Zhu Xuanji officially announced that the two parties would work closely together in the future, and no matter which cultivator obtained the position in the Immortal Palace, it would be retained!
This news made the three Jindan cultivators all look happy.

Ning Zhuo was secretly surprised.

After reporting Sun Lingtong, Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui would definitely join forces. This was something Ning Zhuo could deduce.

He didn't expect that Zhu and Meng would cooperate to this extent!
"No!" Suddenly, Ning Zhuo understood, "This was not something Zhu Xuanji proposed."

"He has already united three companies. There is no need to offer future chips to win them over."

"Since it's not him, then it must be Meng Kui."

"Why did Meng Kui propose this to win over the three families?"

"interesting!"

Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Maybe someone among the three Jindan families present has secretly contacted Meng Kui."

"So, who could it be?"

Ning Zhuo first thought of the Zheng family.

Previously, Zhu Xuanji won over the three families and formed a close alliance, which was considered a brilliant move.

But later, the magic scripture strategy arranged by Ning Zhuo triggered a golden elixir melee, and the Zheng family killed the true disciple of Taiqing Palace, which caused a rift between Zhu Xuanji and the Zheng family.

"The Zheng family is facing huge pressure from the Taiqing Palace. The royal family has been slow to make a statement."

"The Zheng family is likely to frantically seek help because of this pressure. It is reasonable for them to get involved with the Meng family."

"Besides that, the Zhou family is also a possibility."

Previously, if the Meng family acquired the Lava Fairy Palace, the Zhou family would suffer the greatest loss.

Therefore, the Zhou family was the most resolute opponent of Meng Kui.

But what if Meng Kui took the initiative to compromise and privately told the Zhou family that he was willing to coexist with them?

It was not possible before because Meng Kui looked down on the Zhou family, a mere Jindan-level force.

But after the three families united and gathered around Zhu Xuanji, posing a threat to Meng Kui, they became worthy of being divided and won over.

Zhu Xuanji used the three families, and the three families also used him to increase their own value.

Forming alliances and making changes, this is the beauty of the righteous game.
