Chapter 579 Let’s Go to Feiyun Country

Ning Zhuo looked back, smiled slightly, and saluted: "Master Zhu."

Zhu Xuanji laughed out loud: "I have to congratulate you, Ning Zhuo. You have made a name for yourself in this battle between the two Zhu countries to attack Qianfeng Forest."

"Initially, there was the prophecy poem, and then there was the invasion of the Thousand Peaks Forest, and then the battle to repel the twin ghosts of heaven and earth. In the big battle just now, he killed countless enemies and captured many people, with a remarkable record. In particular, he killed the Nascent Soul cultivator Demon Heart Cave Master, and angrily slapped Xiang Yue in the face."

"After this battle, your reputation will spread around the two countries. Your Ning family will also gain more attention because of you!"

This time, Ning Zhuo joined the army under his real name, and the reputation he made also benefited the Ning family.

Ning Zhuo frowned slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, Master Zhu."

"I am only at the foundation-building stage. This time, I saved Xiang Yue and offended Du Tiechuan, so I am afraid it will be difficult to get a reward."

"It is true that I have attracted quite a lot of attention. I will have to remain anonymous for a while while traveling around the world."

Zhu Xuanji smiled again and immediately realized that Ning Zhuo was trying to take credit.

He walked up to Ning Zhuo, patted the latter on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Don't worry, even if you offend Du Tiechuan, since you are the son-in-law of General Mu's mansion, he will definitely not deduct your victory."

"You helped me this time and indirectly saved Xiang Yue. I will not treat a meritorious official unfairly. I will reward you to complete this cause and effect."

"Next, you can leave Thousand Peaks Forest and continue your journey."

Ning Zhuo stared at Zhu Xuanji: "Master Zhu, are you afraid that I will launch a surprise attack on the Liudong Sect?"

Zhu Xuanji immediately sighed in his heart: "As expected of Ning Zhuo, he is so sharp."

He immediately confessed: "Yes, Lu Hongtu of the Six Caves Sect and our Nandou Kingdom have had secret contacts for a long time. But he is very cunning and only regards us as a fallback. He has never really bet on us or joined us."

"Although he is ambitious, this kind of swayer is still the target that my Nandou country wants to win over."

"You have a grudge against him, but you need to stop now."

Ning Zhuo frowned and shook his head: "How can we stop the family feud? Lord Zhu is forcing me to do something against my will!"

When he left Nandou Kingdom before, he was taken care of by Zhu Xuanji.

At that time, Zhu Xuanji analyzed the current situation and told Ning Zhuo that the Nandou Kingdom had made arrangements in Qianfeng Forest.

But Ning Zhuo did not ask in detail at that time. His main purpose was to leave room for himself - in case the Liudong Sect was a pawn of the Nandou Kingdom, it would be difficult for Ning Zhuo to take action after he found out the truth.

After Ning Zhuo learned the relevant information, he guessed that Lu Hongtu was likely involved with the Nandou Kingdom.

It's not hard to guess.

The reason is also very simple.

The masters of the Six Caves Sect are divided into the devilish and righteous sects. Under the leadership of Lu Hongtu, the Six Caves Sect actively communicates with the outside world with its righteous side, while intimidating the Thousand Peaks Forest with its devilish practices.

Qianfenglin is adjacent to Nandou Kingdom. Liudong Sect can establish contact with Ning Family of Beifeng Kingdom, so how could it not have any connection with Nandou Kingdom?
Ning Zhuo and Zhu Xuanji have a close relationship, and the Ning family and the Zhu family, the royal family of the Nandou Kingdom, are also allies, but that does not mean their interests are completely consistent.

At least in this matter, the Ning family and Ning Zhuo both tend to seek revenge. But the Zhu family needs the Six Caves Sect and Lu Hongtu to continue to exist.

Especially after this battle, the two countries will voluntarily withdraw their troops. The influence of Lu Hongtu and the Six Caves Sect in the Thousand Peaks Forest will increase sharply, and they will become the leader among the human cultivators.

This makes Lu Hongtu of great strategic value and allows the Nandou Kingdom to make greater efforts to win him over.

Ning Zhue flatly rejected Zhu Xuanji's request and made his position clear. He was about to have a serious discussion with Zhu Xuanji when the latter suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Hahaha……"

Ning Zhu was puzzled: "Why is Lord Zhu laughing?"

Zhu Xuanji stopped laughing and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Ning Zhuo, you have changed a lot, it's really good."

Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned.

Zhu Xuanji turned around and stood beside Ning Zhuo, looking at the sunset scenery in the mountains: "I still remember clearly what you looked like in Huoshi Xiancheng."

"He is patient, humble, and unwilling. Deep down, he has a hatred for his fate and a lot of paranoia."

"If it were you back then, you would never have contradicted me like you did just now."

"How long has it been?"

"It's true as the old saying goes, it's not age but experience that makes people mature."

"As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. After this battle, you have been baptized by blood and fire, and you have grown a lot."

"Listen to the poem you just wrote - Even if you fight a hundred battles, your body will turn into ashes, and even if you tumble through thousands of disasters, your spirit will never change. A man should shed blood on the battlefield, and drunkenly pull the sword through the sun. You have a lofty ambition to yearn for war and not fear sacrifice! This makes me especially look forward to your future, Ning Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo didn't expect Zhu Xuanji to praise him like this, and was stunned again.

After hearing the praise, Sun Lingtong in the Mechanical Dragon grinned with joy.

Hearing others praising Ning Zhuo made him much happier than hearing others praising him, Sun Lingtong!

Ning Zhuo was almost raised by Sun Lingtong. When Sun Lingtong heard someone praising Ning Zhuo, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"I didn't expect that Lao Zhu has changed so much. He speaks much better now."

"Since it sounds so good, you can say more!"

As for Zhu Xuanji's praise, Sun Lingtong agreed with both hands and feet: "Yes, Xiaozhu and I have been together day and night, and I have not noticed any changes in him."

"Now that I have received Lao Zhu's reminder, it really wakes me up."

"Xiao Zhuo is much more masculine than before! His eyes are bright, his fighting spirit is rising, and he is extremely fierce. Such an attitude is extremely rare in Huoshi Xiancheng."

Ning Zhuo blinked his eyes after receiving the compliment, but his sharp gaze quickly subsided and his demeanor became gentle again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Zhu."

"I just came down from the battlefield and have not yet adapted to the changes. I still have the will to fight in my heart."

"Also, throughout the entire battle, I achieved my initial goal and killed many enemies, which was a great benefit. I am indeed very proud of myself."

"Now that I think about it, it was actually mostly luck. The killing of Yuanying was almost entirely thanks to my comrades. And with Sect Master Lin Bufan and your secret support, Lord Zhu, I was able to achieve this result."

"But in fact, I am only at the foundation building stage."

"Although I can rely on military tactics to strengthen myself and reach the level of Golden Core, this method is only suitable for battlefields and is quite limited when fighting alone."

"As your reputation spreads, it will become known and targeted by others."

"Besides, my military organization will be disbanded along with the withdrawal. After leaving the two countries, I will no longer be able to rely on the national strength of the two countries. It will be difficult to gather military strength in a short period of time."

Building an army is not something that can be done with mere talk. Ning Zhuo casually released a group of mechanical puppets and regarded them as an army. He took advantage of the two countries.

To build an army from scratch is actually very costly and very difficult to maintain.

I prefer to travel around the world and am not restricted to one place most of the time, so I won't consider this for the time being.

When he said this, he looked at Zhu Xuanji and said, "I wonder if Lord Zhu can give me a sinecure in the army?"

Zhu Xuanji's expression suddenly became serious and he shook his head slowly: "How can there be an idle position in the army? And Ning Zhuo, you have done nothing for our country. If I grant it to you privately, where will the country's laws be placed? I am a member of the royal family. How can I convince the people if I show favoritism to you?" Ning Zhuo smiled slightly. He was just trying to fight for it, and it would be fine if he didn't get it.

Zhu Xuanji's refusal was also within his expectations.

Zhu Xuanji was actually quite nervous. He thought to himself, "That was a close call! I almost agreed to it just now."

He had been watching the fight and was quite surprised and delighted by the fighting ability Ning Zhuo displayed.

There is no doubt that Ning Zhuo is a great talent. He took the initiative to ask to join the army of Nandou Kingdom, and Zhu Xuanji subconsciously wanted to welcome and accept him.

But then he thought of Ning Zhuo’s identity as the “son who was destined to be calamity.”

day!
If Ning Zhuo were to travel around the country in the military position of Nan Dou Kingdom, causing trouble and disasters everywhere, then Nan Dou Kingdom would be in trouble! !
"When Ning Zhuo walked out of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, which of the Mist Hidden Mountain, the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate, and the Thousand Peaks Forest did not cause drastic changes?"

"Wherever this guy goes, he brings disaster energy with him, establishing cause and effect everywhere!"

"If this really gets involved with our country, it could cause a national disaster if it gets out of hand!"

When Zhu Xuanji thought of this, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Ning Zhu then took the initiative to ask: "Master Zhu, you said before that you had important information about my mother. What is it?"

Zhu Xuanji took out a letter and handed it to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's mind scanned the area and his expression immediately changed. He exclaimed, "What? The origin of the God of Wuyin Mountain is actually the cloud fox cultivated by my mother?!"

Zhu Xuanji nodded: "I also found out by accident."

"He is the cloud beast that your mother raised during the Ning family's migration."

"When I arrived at Wuyin Mountain, your mother arranged for me to become one of the mountain gods."

Ning Zhuo blinked repeatedly, and suddenly realized: "So that's it."

“No wonder He gave me such a precious Lingyin Willow.”

"To be honest, I was a little confused before."

Ning Zhuo's doubts were exactly the same as those of Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu. The latter two suspected that Ning Zhuo had the ability to control the Fox God, but after investigation, they found that the Fox God had a close relationship with Ning Zhuo.

"The Fox God was cultivated by my mother, so he gave me the Lingyin Willow. I secretly wanted to repay the favor and settle the cause and effect."

"In that case, He can also be burned, and my mother's spirit will be saved."

When Ning Zhu thought of this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and pursed his dry lips.

Zhu Xuanji observed his expression and said, "Don't forget, the Fox God has been canonized by my royal family and is now the official mountain god of Wuyin Mountain."

Ning Zhuo said secretly: "Trouble."

On the surface, he bowed and said, "Of course I can save that."

Zhu Xuanji patted Ning Zhuo's shoulder and said, "If you want to look for your mother's old things, you can go to Feiyun Country."

"According to the Fox God's instructions, your mother is from Feiyun Country. There must be more clues there."

Ning Zhuo pondered and said, "Feiyun Country is so vast, and I am unfamiliar with the place. Trying to find clues about my mother is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhu Xuanji took out a token and handed it to Ning Zhuo: "I have arranged everything for you."

"This is a token for Sangle Youling. Go find her and ask her to tell your fortune with this token. You will get important clues."

Ning Zhuo examined the token and saw that it was a white jade candle, so he took it.

The white jade candle had an indescribable chilliness to it. Although it wasn't freezing cold, it still made Ning Zhuo's hair stand on end.

Ning Zhuo put away the token and looked up at Zhu Xuanji: "Please forgive my ignorance, but who is Sangle Youling?"

Zhu Xuanji said, "It's understandable that you don't know her name. This is because she is not a living person, but a ghost cultivator after death, and became famous in the underworld."

"She has the title of the Candle Cutter of Chaos. If you take this token and go to the White Paper City in Black Water Mountain, you will be able to sense her, get in touch with her, and meet her."

Ning Zhuo remembered it clearly and nodded, "Thank you, Master Zhu."

Then, he stared at Zhu Xuanji with expectant eyes.

Zhu Xuanji laughed and took out two treasure boxes from his arms: "I know you asked Lin Bufan to bring back the ten thousand year old water essence and try to buy the ten thousand year old wood essence."

"This is a collection from the Southern Bean Kingdom. It's what you asked for. This is my reward for helping me."

Ning Zhuo was overjoyed and accepted it immediately.

Zhu Xuanji added: "I will tell Lin Bufan not to take any action."

"Leave quickly."

"Don't forget the two ghosts of heaven and earth. There is no point in staying here for long."

Ning Zhu nodded: "Thank you for your care, Lord Zhu."

"It's just that I still have some issues in the two countries that I haven't dealt with yet."

"For example, the misunderstanding between Du Tiechuan and me, and the engagement with Mulan, I wonder if the Nandou Kingdom can mediate and resolve it?"

Zhu Xuanji shook his head: "Your relationship with Mulan is your private matter. I can't interfere."

"As for what happened between you and Du Tiechuan, don't take it too seriously. Haha, he may not be that jealous of you."

Ning Zhuo was puzzled by Zhu Xuanji's consolation: "Why?"

Zhu Xuanji smiled and looked at Ning Zhuo meaningfully: "Do you really want to know?"

Ning Zhuo's heart suddenly tightened, realizing that this was a state secret. If he really knew the inside story, he would be in an awkward situation.

He immediately shook his head.

Zhu Xuanji waved his hand at him: "Go, go."

Ning Zhuo bowed to Zhu Xuanji, then immediately untied the "belt", entered the Wanli Youlong, and flew away directly, which was quite straightforward.

When Zhu Xuanji saw him leave, he couldn't help but let out a breath of foul air and put aside his worries: "This disaster star is finally gone."

"He's gone to Feiyun Country this time, so he won't implicate me, right?"

The armies of the two countries marched through the mountains.

Du Tiechuan sat alone in the chariot. His expression was not as gloomy as he showed to others. Instead, he drank fine wine, and was calm and comfortable.

He put down his wine glass and began to write a memorial, in which he confessed his own responsibility for the defeat, taking almost all the blame for the retreat on his own shoulders.

After writing the memorial, he threw it on a corner of the desk, looked in the direction of the two kings' capitals, and sneered.

It is obvious that the secret game between the two countries in the war to conquer the Thousand Peaks Forest was far more complicated and treacherous than Ning Zhuo had observed.
