Chapter 634 The Final Battle is Coming
Chapter 634 The Final Battle is Coming
In the giant well, the dark tide was like river waves, hitting the well wall again and again, making a rumbling sound.
The tall Lord of Baizhi City and Ning Zhuo looked at each other.
Her paper doll was about to speak, but the city lord's real body spoke first: "Don't stop."
Yang Sanyan, Wen Ruanyu: ...
These words were naturally spoken to Ning Zhuo.
You said don’t stop, so why don’t you stop?
Ning Zhuo decisively stopped, took a step back, and bowed: "I am Ning Zhuo, the young man, and my mother Meng Yaoyin, I greet the Lord of White Paper City!"
The Lord of Baizhi City did not shift his gaze and continued to stare at Ning Zhuo, but his expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of interest.
Ning Zhuo's response is very interesting.
You could say he was polite, because he directly disobeyed the White Paper City Lord's order to "don't stop" and stopped immediately.
But if you say he is rude and doesn't take the Lord of Baizhi City seriously, he is so respectful in his greetings that no one can find fault with him.
The paper man clone flew to the original body at this time: "Original body, a lot of things happened while you were unconscious."
The city lord's real body then turned his gaze and nodded slightly to his clone.
The next moment, she removed her protection and allowed the paper man clone to approach.
The clone held the original body's hand, and for a dozen breaths, the two sides communicated through spiritual consciousness.
The city lord's real body showed a look of realization, and looked at Ning Zhuo: "Meng Yaoyin... I didn't expect that she was the son of an old friend."
"Looking closely, you do look somewhat similar to your mother."
"They are similar in temperament, both have strong opinions, and the Lord even saw their stubborn side."
"Back then, I advised your mother not to sacrifice her own life to save others. But she didn't listen to my advice at all and insisted on taking action."
Ning Zhuo's ears moved slightly: "I never thought that I would find traces of my mother's life in Baizhi Fairy City."
"I know my mother."
"She is kind and compassionate. She must be willing to sacrifice for the White Paper Immortal City."
Ning Zhuo changed the subject: "But she died when I was two years old."
"So, my mother and I have different ideas."
"I can continue to supply you with the Yang energy I had before, Lord City Lord. What can you offer in exchange?"
The Lord of Baizhi City is at the Nascent Soul level, while Ning Zhuo is only at the Foundation Establishment level.
However, the big-headed boy has such courage that he can talk freely in front of a Nascent Soul level expert, and even negotiate and bargain directly.
After all, he had killed cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in the war between the two nations.
The city lord's real body fell silent, and her clone spoke: "My dear Ning Zhuo, you are already the deputy city lord of this city. You are second only to one person and above ten thousand people..."
Ning Zhuo waved his hand and said bluntly: "This is just an empty position. Besides, I will join the Wanxiang Sect in the future and cannot stay here for long. Therefore, the position of deputy city lord is not very attractive."
Wen Runyu wanted to speak at this time, but her lips moved but no words came out.
The city lord's real body chuckled: "You are not a person who shoots without purpose. Since you propose an exchange, you must have something you want. Why not just say it and see if I can afford it."
"It's very simple." Ning Zhuo mentioned calmly that he wanted the giant paper statue at the south gate of the city.
The city lord fell silent again.
The clone said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This giant paper statue was indeed created because of Meng Yaoyin. However, it is a trump card at the Nascent Soul level. From the beginning of its establishment to the current maintenance, my White Paper Immortal City has spent a lot. And now that the Immortal City is surrounded by enemies, it needs such a means to protect itself. It is impossible to resell it rashly."
Ning Zhuo said: "If the Lord City Lord agrees to my request, I will naturally not take the paper statue away before this crisis."
"It must be after the Immortal City has overcome the ghost tide and stopped the attack of the ghost army, and the situation has turned from dangerous to safe, that they will take away this giant paper statue."
Paper Man clone: "Well... Actually, the idea of building the paper man statue was first proposed by Wen Ruanyu. He is also one of the founders. We must consider his feelings when making such a deal."
So Ning Zhuo turned his head and looked at Wen Runyu.
Wen Ruanyu didn't hesitate, smiled, and stared at Ning Zhuo: "I just found out that Ning Zhuo is my senior sister's biological son. Although this has not been confirmed in front of me, I am more willing to believe this romantic thing in my heart."
"I have no problem handing over the giant paper statue to Ning Zhuo!"
Wen Runyu's answer was direct and clear.
Ning Zhuo immediately gave him a grateful smile.
Yang Sanyan also nodded slightly to Wen Runyu, and was very satisfied with the latter's attitude.
Wen Ruanyu's identity is rather complicated.
On the one hand, he is the Jindan true disciple of the Wanxiang Sect and manages the sect's station here. On the other hand, he is also a senior executive of the Baizhi Immortal City. He has made many years of contributions in the management and operation of the Immortal City.
Wen Runyu agreed to Ning Zhuo's request, which was also a way to show her stance.
Obviously, compared to the Baizhi Immortal City, he stands on the side of the Wanxiang Sect.
Seeing his statement, the Lord of White Paper City finally said, "Okay."
She was also very straightforward and directly agreed to Ning Zhuo: "After the war, the paper statue will be yours."
"Not only that……"
The Lord of Baizhi City also took the initiative to give Ning Zhuo the four precious soul-cultivation treasures that he had previously presented to him as rewards.
According to her, Ning Zhuo caught the traitor Zheng Shoumo and he must be rewarded greatly!
These four precious treasures for soul cultivation are all of Nascent Soul level!
The behaviors of the White Paper City Lord's original body and clone are very consistent, they are both so generous and magnanimous!
"Hahaha, this city lord knows how to deal with things, that's great, Xiaozhu!" Sun Lingtong had been watching all this from afar, relying on the life hanging by a thread.
At this moment, he was very happy and secretly congratulated Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo was very calm, and analyzed the situation secretly: "As expected of the Lord of White Paper City, his political skills are very strong!"
"She has already started planning for the future ecology of the Immortal City."
In the current situation, Ning Zhuo, the savior, has sided with the Wanxiang Sect.
Baizhi Immortal City desperately needs the Wanxiang Sect's help again to overcome this crisis.
Before Ning Zhuo officially joined the Wanxiang Sect, the Lord of Baizhi City directly paid a large sum of money to win Ning Zhuo over.
She is probably planning that in the future, Ning Zhuo, as the deputy city lord, will serve as a bridge of communication between Baizhi Immortal City and Wanxiang Sect.
In other words, the Lord of Baizhi City is trying to win over Ning Zhuo, and is also trying to become the middleman in the future game of interests between Baizhi Fairy City and Wanxiang Sect.
"Never mind all that. Let's talk about the future later. The most important thing is to solve the present problem first." Ning Zhuo saw that the Lord of Baizhi City was making plans for the future. While he was alert, he also admired him.
After all, she was really generous and was really spending a lot of money to win over Ning Zhuo!
Ning Zhuo first thanked the city lord for his award, and then changed the subject: "Since the city lord has awakened, let's sign the divine contract first and then talk about the follow-up."
Yang San glanced at Ning Zhuo and admired the latter's steady temperament and his thoughtful and meticulous approach.
The city lord nodded slightly: "Yes."
Yang Sanyan then took out a divine decree.
The scroll of divine decree is unfolded, with the image of the divine covenant on the back.
He had a face as beautiful as a jade crown, with a third eye open on his forehead. He held a mirror for the past and a gold voucher for the future in one hand. He wore a moon-white wide-sleeved Taoist robe with a silkworm cloud pattern, a black dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist, and mountain and river shoes on his feet. He rode a three-legged green crane.
The crane's feathers revealed the avenue of wisdom, and as it flapped its wings, golden inscriptions of the contract fell one by one. On the front of the scroll was the entire content of the contract.
Ning Zhuo and others studied the contents of the contract and put forward their own opinions.
Yang Sanyan modified the content on the spot, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he immediately used this divine decree.
By mobilizing the power of the Heavenly God Contract, everyone and the mysterious organization are required to agree that they have no close connection with Zheng Shoumo, otherwise they will be pursued by the Heavenly God Contract and die!
The divine contract was reached, and everyone present was safe and sound.
Yang Sanyan and others all breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the field eased greatly.
The City Lord's clone said: "Young friend Ning Zhuo, please use your dual cultivation skills again."
Ning Zhuo coughed and quickly corrected: "It's just a little matter of blending yin and yang, does it count as dual cultivation?"
"However, before that, I have a small request."
The city lord's clone: "Please speak."
Ning Zhuo said: "Before, I thank you for your concern and for giving me three pieces of talisman paper. Please take them back."
These three talismans directly penetrated into Ning Zhuo's three dantians and were suppressed by Ning Zhuo using three different skills.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong had already planned to use the theft technique to take away the three pieces of talisman paper. After all, the human heart is unpredictable, and these are the three hidden thunders.
But Sun Ning and the other man were not sure whether the stealing technique would work.
It would be best if the city lord's clone could personally retrieve it.
The city lord's clone was a little hesitant: "How about this? I'll bless you with three talismans, which is equivalent to saving you three times. You are now playing the role of Jiao Ma, and a tall tree attracts the wind. What if Zheng Shoumo is not the only traitor and he attacks you? What should you do?"
Ning Zhuo subconsciously touched the mechanical ring and told the city lord's clone to take it away, he had his own means to protect himself.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's tough attitude, the city lord's clone did not insist. He simply stretched out his hand, summoned three talisman papers, and took them back.
Ning Zhu then took action again, releasing Yang energy to supply the Lord of Baizhi City.
The Lord of White Paper City slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was enjoying himself silently.
After a moment, she opened her eyes again and expressed her meaning with her eyes: Why did you stop again?
Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and said weakly, "Senior, your strength is like the sea and the mountain. I am only a minor cultivator at the foundation building stage. Reaching this stage is already the limit. If I continue like this, I am afraid I will shorten my life span."
"It still takes some time to recuperate before I can develop this kind of Yang energy."
This is of course not true.
There was still 30% of Yang Qi in the Yin-Yang Qi Pot. Ning Zhuo had only taken out 70% just now.
The Lord of Baizhi City looked at Ning Zhuo quietly.
Ning Zhuo was fearless and looked at him honestly.
The White Paper City Lord's main body said indifferently: "I don't know what this medical skill is called. Are you interested in selling it, Mr. Ning Zhuo?"
Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head and refused.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wen Runyu quickly congratulated the city lord to ease the situation.
The city lord nodded slightly: "In this way, I can finally escape from the deep well temporarily, and I will be able to fight in times of crisis."
"But it's only temporary."
"You all have seen the truth. If I hadn't come to suppress it personally, the White Paper Immortal City would have been destroyed by this vast Yin Qi, and the city and its people would have died!"
Wen Runyu quickly spoke up, praising the Lord of Baizhi City for his noble character and for having sacrificed so much for the people in secret.
"As for the specific city defense, you only need to discuss it with my clone." The city lord's real body issued an order to expel the guests.
Yang Wenning had no choice but to say goodbye.
After the magic circle space was closed, they came to the reception hall and called Tie Guzheng over. They discussed secretly for half an hour and reached a preliminary consensus on many aspects.
That night, Ning Zhuo was the host and took the initiative to invite Yang Sanyan and Wen Runyu to dinner.
Ning Zhuo showed Wen Runyu some things his mother left behind.
Such evidence made Wen Runyu certain of Ning Zhuo's identity. Her eyes welled up and she burst into tears at the dinner table.
He even assured Ning Zhuo on the spot: "Xiao Zhuo, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I will do my best to help you!"
Yang Sanyan said to Wen Ruanyu: "Friend Ning Zhuo is extremely talented and has extraordinary means. This Feiyun Conference is a great opportunity, and he will surely soar to the sky."
"In the future, I'm afraid you'll have some difficulties and need him to come forward and help you solve them."
Although Yang Sanyan and Ning Zhuo had only met for the first time, this short experience together had already made him look at Ning Zhuo with completely new eyes!
Wen Runyu agreed with Yang Sanyan's words.
Ning Zhuo waved his hand, was modest, and had a confident and calm attitude.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qing Chi came to find Ning Zhuo.
"I heard that you entered the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and were received by the City Lord himself? You also hosted a banquet for Yang Sanyan last night. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Qing Chi was captured by Yang Sanyan and had no good feelings towards the latter.
Ning Zhuo shook his head and told Qing Chi that he had already solved the problem and had received certain support from Yang Sanyan. He was also planning to join the Wanxiang Sect in the future, so Qing Chi should not worry.
Qing Chi's eyes welled up with tears: "Xiao Ma, I know you have sacrificed too much for me. In order to satisfy Yang Sanyan, you sold yourself to the Wanxiang Sect!"
"This Yang Sanyan must have taken a fancy to your qualifications. He captured me just to force you to submit..."
In Qing Chi's eyes, scorched hemp is a treasure in the world and everyone wants it.
This is true for the Lord of Baizhi City and Yang Sanyan as well.
Ning Zhuo was speechless and could only comfort Qing Chi with a few words, saying that he would have a brighter future if he joined the Wanxiang Sect.
Qing Chi stated on the spot that he also wanted to attend the Feiyun Conference and practice with Jiao Ma.
Ning Zhuo felt his scalp tingling. Of course, he didn't want to spend every day with Qing Chi in the future. He decisively changed the subject: "By the way, Miss Qing Chi, have you gained anything from studying military books recently?"
Ning Zhuo asked casually, but unexpectedly Qing Chi raised his head slightly with pride and reported the good news to Ning Zhuo: "Oh, you figured it out. I have realized another military system."
Ning Zhuo asked in surprise.
Qing Chi touched his nose and replied, "I saw that we spent too much money to build our army, and I was touched and realized a military system called 'one term of army, ten years of preparation'..."
Qing Chi explained it in detail, which made Ning Zhuo secretly amazed.
"Qing Chi seems to have an extraordinary talent in military tactics!"
Ning Zhuo compared himself and realized that up to now, he had not even figured out one military system.
Qing Chi has already realized two of them.
After the good news, there is bad news.
Sun Lingtong used the life-threatening situation to report the military situation: "Xiaozhuo, the situation is not good!"
"The Yin army is making a big move here. I'm afraid the moment of the decisive battle is just around the corner."
