The black market encountering trouble was one of the situations that Ning Zhuo had anticipated.

He didn't feel the slightest surprise.

"If it really doesn't work, then we should completely abandon the black market and shrink down."

Compared with the Lava Fairy Palace, the black market is just a detail. If Ning Zhuo is disturbed in this area and invests energy and time, it means that the enemy's conspiracy will succeed.

Of course, total withdrawal is only a final response. At this stage, it is not enough.

Ning Zhuo immediately wrote back and asked the black market to seek help from Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, two former family members.

Ning Zhuo had a long-term strategy 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 defeat of Ning Xiaoren.

Being members of a branch of the family, they were very optimistic and willing to support Ning Zhuo.

Only such a heavyweight can calm people's hearts and give the leaderless black market an authoritative senior executive to prevent it from panicking.

In the letter, he also asked the black market to dispatch a group of people to station in the Lava Fairy Palace.

This group, headed by two former deacons, Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangqiang, led a large number of Ning family monks, and also forcibly recruited members from the Monkey Head Gang, the Turtle Xi Gang, and the Crane Mouth Gang, with a total number of more than one hundred.

"The so-called power is for my use, not for me to invest too much in this power."

Ning Zhuo has a very deep understanding of this point.

If this power that he has carefully managed is not used now, when will it be better used?

The second round of palace examination.

Question 11.

Sun Lingtong's victory made others so angry that they were itching their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

Ning Zhuo won more than he lost. Although he tried his best to keep a low profile, he could no longer keep a low profile.

Whether he was in the ring or standing in the square, the way the monks looked at him had changed. Even the monks at the Golden Core level treated him seriously as a powerful enemy.

"I didn't expect that a junior Qi refiner would stand out."

"Ning Zhuo does have two brushes."

"Every time Ning Zhuo faces Zhu Xuanji, Ning surrenders and will take the initiative to admit defeat. If this fight really continues, his record may even be even higher!"

Many people praised him with their mouths and communicated with each other secretly, all realizing that Ning Zhuo could not win like this.

However, Ning Zhuo was extremely cautious and spent all day huddled in his house. Next door was Ning Jiufan, the ancestor of the Ning family.

This makes many people feel powerless and sigh helplessly.

In the lava fairy palace late at night, the fire is raging and bright as day.

Since the eruption of the volcano, the beast tide has surged, and the sky above the Lava Fairy Palace has always been filled with clouds and smoke, and the sky has never been seen.

Ning Xiaoren had been fighting here for a while, and he gradually couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

He had been fighting for more than ten hours continuously. His face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. The continuous high-intensity fighting made him want to fall down and fall asleep immediately.

But he couldn't, he could only endure his sleepiness and exhaustion.

"There's a monster. It's in the southeast corner." Suddenly, a monk shouted.

After a few breaths, the monk responsible for the investigation spoke again: "Be careful, these monsters are all flame-walking lizards. We must attack in advance to prevent them from impacting our position."

Ning Xiaoren and others formed a team of monks and stationed themselves at the corner of the street, setting up a magic circle and guarding against danger.

They are mainly monks from the main lineage of the Ning family.

Although Ning Xiaoren was expelled from the family, his cooperation at this time did not violate any family rules.

Hearing the warning, Ning Xiaoren gritted his teeth and used the nearly depleted mana in his body to adjust the magic circle.

Casting spells using a magic circle is much faster and more powerful than an individual.

Ice spears like giant trees formed in an instant and sprayed out one after another.

The ice spear killed many flame-walking lizards and angered the remaining half.

The Flame-Stepping Lizard roared and rushed towards Ning Xiaoren's direction.

In the magic circle, monks immediately controlled the magic circle and released a large number of mechanical creations.

These mechanisms were mainly designed to rush cars and rush forward. Although they were smashed by the flame-walking lizards, they successfully stopped their charge and greatly reduced their speed.

Ning Xiaoren was breathing heavily and felt nauseous. His magic power was exhausted and he could only retreat temporarily.

Immediately, a backup monk took his place, occupying the center of the formation and controlling the formation.

After being blasted with powerful spells, a flame-walking lizard still rushed forward.

"Oops, we haven't recruited physical practitioners yet!" The monks' faces turned pale.

At this moment, a crazy voice came: "Afraid! Who made my Xiaohui afraid? Look at me, grandma, Xiaohui, don't be afraid!"

With that said, Ning Xiaohui's grandma jumped out of the magic circle and rushed straight towards the flame-walking lizard.

She collided with the flame-walking lizard and was thrown back, crashing through two buildings before falling to the ground.

Almost all of her body was broken, she coughed up blood, and her protective magic weapon collapsed.

"This lunatic!" Ning Xiaoren's pupils shrank when he saw this scene.

The monks in the Ning family's main line also had different expressions.

Thanks to Grandma Ning Xiaohui's desperate obstruction, they finally seized the last opportunity and covered it with a round of spells, killing the last flame-walking lizard.

The magic circle turned the corner, but Ning Xiaoren felt heavy in his heart.

"The demonic beasts have rough skin and thick flesh. These are just a group of foundation-building level red flame demonic beasts."

"If it's the Golden Core level, can I retreat safely?"

Ning Xiaoren was not sure at all.

He looked at Grandma Ning Xiaohui again. At this time, monks from the Ning family ran out of the magic circle, came to Grandma, and began to treat her.

"She's gone crazy."

"Ning Xiaohui's death was a huge blow to her."

"I actually live with such a madman day and night, in the same magic circle?"

Ning Xiaoren felt a wave of fear.

"It's all my fault, Ning Zhuo, that bastard!"

"If it weren't for him, would I have become a prisoner? If it weren't for him, would I have been expelled from the family and come here to risk my life to gain merit?"

"Ning Zhuo deserves to die, deserves to die!"

"The sky has no eyes, and it actually allowed this treacherous and insidious thief to get better and better. His performance in the second round of the palace examination was among the best! What are those golden elixirs and geniuses doing?"

"Can't you even deal with Ning Zhuo?!"

Ning Xiaoren's situation is just a microcosm of the Lava Immortal Palace.

The destruction of Lava Asgard has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that monks in the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage can enter it even if they don't have any mechanical attainments.

Under the leadership of Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji, Fire Persimmon Immortal City mobilized a large number of Qi refining and foundation-building monks to station in Lava Immortal Palace.

This group of monks was so large that it filled all the front lines like a timely rain.

With their participation, the defense line in the inner circle of Lava Immortal Palace made up for the surrounding area. It was very solid and firmly blocked the advance of the monster tide.

After all, there are not many golden elixir level individuals among the red flame monsters. Once they appear, they will be targeted by concentrated fire, and few survive.

As for the real threat to Lava Immortal Palace, the two Nascent Soul-level monsters were also resisted and involved by Meng Kui.

But judging from the situation of the battle, Meng Kui is one against two, and often falls at a disadvantage.

Nascent Soul-level demonic beasts often have achievements, breaking the periphery of the Lava Immortal Palace into pieces one after another.

The lava fairy palace is broken, and the more it is lost, the lower the power of the ban will be.

Now is the Qi Refining Stage. During the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can take advantage of the loopholes and enter the Immortal Palace directly. According to this trend, it will be the Golden Elixir Stage, and monks in the Nascent Soul Stage will be able to enter the Palace.

"Ning Xiaoren, you are too tired. Go back and rest. Once you are in good condition, come back to join the battle!" The Ning family's main lineage monk still cared 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 group of people gathered together.

Out of curiosity, he approached to inquire and found out that it was a murder. A foundation-building monk was killed by a sneak attack. His death was as if his heart was stabbed and his soul was missing.

"Bu Kongmen has taken action again! The deceased had just participated in the imperial examination during the day and lost his life at night. Alas..."

"These demons will do anything to get the lava fairy palace!"

When Ning Xiaoren found out the specific truth, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Why don't you assassinate Ning Zhuo? Good people don't live long, and harm will last for thousands of years. This is bullshit!"

This is already the third murder recently targeting members of the imperial examination.

In two cases, the target was successfully killed, and in one case, the target was seriously injured.

Strictly speaking, serious injury can be considered a success. Because the injured monk was in extremely poor condition, he lost the battle in the ring.

Palace examiners cannot attack each other, but they can use the help of others to carry out assassinations and suppression.

The competition for the Lava Immortal Palace is not only the palace trials during the day, but also the attacks and killings at night.

It is foreseeable that casual cultivators who work alone, without a deep foundation or a backer, 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 on his neck.

"Who?!" Ning Xiaoren was shocked.

The masked killer holds a dagger, threatening Ning Xiaoren's life at all times: "Tell me about Ning Zhuo."

"You, you want to deal with him?" Ning Xiaoren reacted and looked stunned, "No, I will not betray my people."

The visitor sneered: "Stop pretending, who doesn't know about your grudges with him?"

"Besides, you have been expelled from the family, all thanks to Ning Zhuo! He is no longer a member of your clan, the former young patriarch of the Ning family."

Ning Xiaoren's face quickly darkened, and a malicious light flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to know?"

"Everything." The masked man said calmly.

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 must satisfy me. If you are not satisfied, I will just cut off your head."

Ning Xiaoren said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

He said it in quite detail.

The masked killer was not satisfied: "I know all this."

He used the tip of the dagger to pry open Ning Xiaoren's teeth and put a Gu worm into his mouth.

The Gu worm burrowed all the way down and got into Ning Xiaoren's heart.

The masked killer started gently, and Ning Xiaoren immediately covered his heart with his hands, twisting and rolling on the bed in pain, like a maggot being electrocuted.

The masked killer tortured him for a while and then stopped: "I am very dissatisfied with your answer."

"I will give you a task now. Do your best to thwart Ning Zhuo and interfere with him."

"Otherwise, I will let you die miserably in this heart-wrenching pain."

Ning Xiaoren waved his hands quickly and begged for mercy: "My lord, my lord, don't be impulsive. I will do it. I will do it."

"Ning Zhuo is my enemy. We are in the same group. We are our own people!"

The masked killer sneered: "It's good that you have this awareness. You have to achieve results within three days, otherwise you will die."

After saying that, the masked killer disappeared in front of Ning Xiaoren.

Come without a trace, go without a trace.

Ning Xiaoren was left biting his lip and hitting the bedside with his fist: "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 violent for a while, Ning Xiaoren gradually regained consciousness.

"Ning Zhuo, that bastard, does a lot of bad things. Since the palace examination, he has been living in hiding next door to Ning Yifan."

"Under the protection of a golden elixir monk, what can I do to kill him?"

"This thief is too much of a bitch, too much of a bitch!"
