one day ago.

Ning Jiufan flew all the way, slowly retreating behind the lush green mountains below his feet.

"Senior, according to the map, we are almost arriving at Yugang Mountain." Hanzhou sat next to Ning Junfan.

The two of them were sitting on a giant flying ice block.

The cold makes Hanzhou feel more friendly, because he is originally from the north. Therefore, he also feels friendly to the owner of the flying ice cube.

"Yugang Mountain is indeed in sight." Ning Yifan's field of vision is much stronger than that of Hanzhou, after all, it is a golden elixir level.

He had already seen a shadow of Yugang Mountain on the horizon.

But just when he relaxed slightly, the color of the world suddenly changed.

A large formation suddenly unfolded, subduing Ning, and Hanzhou was instantly enveloped in it.

In the blink of an eye, the world returned to its original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion. Ning surrendered, and Hanzhou disappeared completely.

Ning surrendered and fell into the formation, shocked and angry.

But I saw that the sky and the earth were dim and yellow, and the halo was like a ball, covering all directions.

Three vague figures lined up and surrounded Ning Yifan and Hanzhou from a distance.

"Who trapped me?" Ning Jiufan asked sharply, "I am Ning Jiufan, the ancestor of the Golden Elixir of the Ning family in Huoshi Mountain. Are the three Taoist friends besieging the wrong person?"

Someone among the three figures spoke up: "I'd rather surrender and wait until you come. You are the one we want to destroy!"

Hanzhou was shocked and suddenly became nervous. He didn't expect that this time following the Jindan monk would lead to a life-and-death crisis.

Ning Jingfan's heart suddenly sank. Since the other party was waiting for him specifically, he probably had a lot of background.

He thought for a while and immediately took out the official seal from his arms: "You guys, don't make mistakes and be instigated by others! I am a hidden official of the Nandou Kingdom. You should give up and leave now. I promise that I will not hold you accountable."

"Otherwise, if I do something wrong here, you will be wanted and hunted down by the entire Nandou Kingdom."

As a result, the enemy laughed loudly: "Ning surrender, we are going to kill you, the dog official!"

Ning Yifan was shocked again.

Since the other party knows his identity and would rather kill an official, he is most likely the Meng family.

After all, the Ning family has moved to Huoshi Fairy City, and the only powerful foreign enemy currently is the Meng family.

In addition, there are those enemies from Beifeng Kingdom. However, this possibility is far less huge than that of the Meng family.

Hanzhou sent a message: "Ancestor Ning, these three people all have the aura of golden elixir, why not just release Grandma Yuan to break the formation with force!"

Ning Jiufan shook his head in his heart. He didn't want to do this.

If this ambush was really the work of the Meng family, how could they not be on guard against his Nascent Soul-level monsters?

If Grandma Yuan is really released, I'm afraid the other party will get into trouble.

Considering this, Ning Junfan snorted coldly, not only in response to Hanzhou, but also in response to what the enemy said: "If that's the case, then let you see the fighting heroics of my northern man!"

"Show me your moves!"

As soon as Ning Jiufan finished speaking, he immediately took action.

Suddenly, the north wind blew, blowing heavy snow, and the biting cold suddenly filled the air.

Among the three golden elixir monks, one of them showed his body and cast a spell to fight against the wind and snow.

Ning Yifan's wind and snow spell was restrained, so he took out a talisman and activated it directly.

The talisman floated in mid-air, burst into bright light, quickly condensed, and turned into an ice and snow giant.

Snow clouds formed at the feet of the ice man. He held a long-handled ice sculpture sword in both hands and rushed towards another golden elixir opponent.

When the golden elixir monk saw the iceman approaching, he quickly cast spells to suppress him and slow down the iceman's progress.

Ning obeyed and shot a magic weapon-level ice pick towards the third person.

When the golden elixir monk saw the ice cone coming with great power, he knew that ordinary spells could not resist it, so he immediately took out a large cauldron.

The big cauldron flew forward and collided with the ice cone, making a loud clang, but it was finally blocked temporarily.

Ning Jingfan laughed loudly and said with great pride: "Is this just what you three are doing? If you have any other means, feel free to use them!"

Han Zhou looked on in amazement. He didn't expect this Ning family ancestor to be so strong against three.

But he soon thought of Ning Zhuo.

"If you have a grandson, you must have an ancestor. From Mr. Ning Zhuo, you can get a glimpse of the excellence and strength of the Ning family."

"The Ning family's golden elixir ancestor has behaved like this, which is actually a sign."

Hanzhou thought again that he still had the powerful trump card of Nascent Soul level Yuan Lao, and his heart gradually calmed down and he was no longer so nervous.

But he didn't know that Ning Jongfan looked like this, but in fact he was very nervous. Even if he fell into the formation, he would have lost his advantage. Since the three golden elixir monks were selected by the Meng family, they must have good skills.

"This place is close to Yugang Mountain. It would be great if there were reinforcements."

The guard on Yugang Mountain was no longer Meng Zizhong, and was replaced by a Jindan sent by the Zhu family royal family.

Before Ning Jingfan came, he had been notified by Fetion that there had been a Fetion exchange between the two parties.

But Ning surrendered and then had another thought: "Since the other party has set up an ambush here, how could they not consider garrisoning the Jindan in Yugang Mountain?"

"So, if we take action in this formation, I'm afraid that no movement will be transmitted."

"No, if it really spreads, it will be even worse. They must have done it deliberately to attract the Jindan guards to come for support, so that they can kill us all in one go!"

Hanzhou didn't understand the real situation, and he didn't know much about the existence of the golden elixir series.

But thinking about giving in to others also has its own limitations.

Not even the three Jindan who set up the ambush knew that their ambush had actually been exposed.

High in the clouds, Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu stood side by side, overlooking the battlefield below.

Although the battlefield was surrounded by formations, Zhu Xuanji urged his heavenly golden eyes and cooperated with spells to see through the scene inside.

Through spiritual communication, Shen Lingshu also knows the real-time battle situation.

Zhu Xuanji said: "Senior Shen, as you expected, Ning Jongfan was ambushed during this trip."

"You didn't expect him to be in danger."

"Haha, with us here, of course he is safe."

Shen Lingshu made some moves with his hand and said, "I have calculated that this formation is the Nine-tailed Demon Formation."

"The battle lines and patterns are all made of nine-tailed fox fur."

"There are eight array eyes and one array center. The array center is hidden in the array eye. At first glance, it looks the same, so it is difficult to find the key position."

"Right now, of these three Golden Core cultivators, one occupies the center of the formation, two occupy the formation's eyes, and there are three formation eyes burning with the incense of ecstasy. One of the formation's eyes has a demon-slaying platform, and one has a demon-tying rope. , the last formation eye actually contains a mysterious air bag."

When Zhu Xuanji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The other party is well prepared."

"The nine-tailed celestial demon has the power to confuse all demons. It uses its nine-tailed fox fur to set up an array, which is very arrogant."

"The soul-enchanting incense and the demon-enchanting array can make Grandma Yuan be confused as soon as she is released, and she may even counterattack her master."

"Then, in a daze, I walked onto the demon-slaying platform and was beheaded by a guillotine, losing my life."

"In the thin line between life and death, Grandma Yuan may burst out her survival instinct and earn a glimmer of clarity. Therefore, the other party also prepared a rope to bind the demon to kill its last bit of vitality."

"What kind of magic weapon is this mysterious air bag?"

Shen Lingshu said: "This treasure is specifically aimed at Qi. It can absorb the Qi of other objects, causing the Qi to decrease."

"With this treasure, some accidents can be prevented. Many people with strong Qi often use their Qi to save themselves at critical moments of life and death."

"Even if you are a mortal, as long as your Qi is strong, you can even fall off a cliff and survive. You will still have future blessings."

"I see." Zhu Xuanji nodded and asked the most important question, "Can Senior Shen figure out the clues or even evidence that these three golden elixir monks originated from the Meng family?"

Shen Lingshu shook his head: "I can't figure it out."

"This may be because Meng Kui is very rigorous in his work. From the beginning of the layout, he has already made precautions and calculations."

"Can't you trace the source? Can't you see the connection between the other party and the Meng family?"

Zhu Xuanji smiled bitterly: "I only saw that these three people took on this mission one after another in You Ci Pavilion."

You Ci Pavilion is a famous assassination organization. It is very secretive and has distribution in various cultivation countries.

With such a large scale and its ability to survive to this day, it certainly has a foundation.

Zhu Xuanji was able to tell at the first glance that the three golden elixirs across from him were all members of You Ci Pavilion, and they already lived up to the name of the gods.

Shen Lingshu smiled slightly, but was not surprised: "The Meng family's action this time is probably in revenge for the Yugang Mountain incident."

"We eliminated Meng Zizhong, and the Meng family set up an ambush here to eradicate Ning and submit as a warning."

"If Ning Jiufan and Grandma Yuan both die, the situation in Huoshi Immortal City will shift to Meng Kui's side, and the remaining Zhou family will be left alone."

"And in the court, the impact of these two people's sacrifices will reach people's hearts and greatly weaken the royal family's prestige!"

Zhu Xuanji said: "This Ning Zhuo, the strength of the Ning family can be judged as to whether it is extremely prosperous or not."

"Our plan was to come to Kirigakure Mountain to investigate the Fox God, but the result was a mistake. We will not sit back and watch Ning surrender and die in battle."

Shen Lingshu looked solemn: "It seems like this is a coincidence."

"But we can't rule out that it was caused by human life or the king's order."

"Ning Yifan will definitely save him, but we might as well watch the battle for a while and let his energy be absorbed."

Shen Lingshu then revealed his plan: "If Ning Zhuo masters the supernatural power and human life is hanging by a thread, the possibility of Ning surrendering is extremely high."

"In this way, the two sides are connected. If Ning Jiefan's side declines, it will inevitably affect Ning Zhuo's side."

"If Ning Zhuo also planted a thread of life for other people, their vitality will be low, ranging from confusion at the least to misfortune at the worst, and it will all show up."

"This is a good opportunity for verification."

Zhu Xuanji recalled the many secrets he learned in the royal capital: "In the past, the Supreme Emperor also suffered a great setback due to the disadvantage of human life hanging on the line, and almost died of the country's destruction."

There is never anything perfect in the world.

Some are long and some are short.

There are advantages, but naturally there are disadvantages.

The human life is connected to the Qi number. If the Emperor gets bad luck and the Qi number drops, others will share the burden. In this way, it will have the same effect as the king on behalf of the king.

But after all, it is not the real king's destiny. Therefore, once everyone encounters a disaster, or the vitality of some of them drops too much, the Supreme Emperor will also be unlucky.

In the past years, it was precisely because of this that Emperor Nandou encountered disaster and narrowly escaped death.

"Wait a minute." An idea flashed in Zhu Xuanji's mind and he asked, "What if my Buddha Heart Demon Seal really has the power to suppress Qi?"

Shen Lingshu thought deeply: "It depends on how powerful my Buddha's Heart Devil Seal is to suppress energy. Whether it can only protect himself, or whether it can benefit others."

"Even if the treasure seal is powerful, Ning Zhuo is only at the foundation level at this moment, so he won't be able to exert his true power at all."

"Back then, didn't the Supreme Emperor also have a magic weapon that could suppress his own anger?"

"After all, there's no harm in trying it."

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: "That's fine, let's just do it."

The Wanli Wandering Dragon travels through the void at extremely high speeds.

Silver threads appear and disappear from time to time under the dark curtain.

The lower body of Wanli Wandering Dragon shines with blood-colored light and shadow. This is the handiwork of the master of Blood Shadow Cave.

Suddenly broad daylight appeared ahead, and the next moment, a dragon traveling thousands of miles emerged from the void and came to the real world.

Sun Lingtong did not dare to be careless at all, and continued to drive the Wanli Wandering Dragon into the dense mountain forest.

After moving around for a long time, it finally stopped.

"It's so dangerous, so exciting!" Sun Lingtong licked her lips, and her heartbeat gradually slowed down.

He glanced down at his hands.

Half of the palm has turned into stone skin, just like the appearance of the stone ball at the bottom of the cave.

Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth and could only continue to use magic to suppress it, and then controlled the mechanism Youlong to check Ning Zhuo's situation.

Seeing Ning Zhuo fainted on the ground, but still breathing, Sun Lingtong's eyes turned red and she wanted to slap herself in the mouth.

"I'll take risks alone to find excitement, so that's fine."

"This time, Xiao Zhuo was implicated. Oh, how could I be so unwise? I really deserve a beating!!"

Sun Lingtong blamed herself especially, but in this state, she did not dare to approach Ning Zhuo rashly.

Fortunately, Sun Lingtong also had a lot of skills in mechanisms. Immediately, he took out the mechanism puppet, controlled it with his spiritual consciousness, and indirectly contacted Ning Zhuo to help him wake up quickly.

After Ning Zhuo woke up and learned that he had escaped, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with fear.

Sun Lingtong sighed and said, "Xiao Zhuo, it was me who got you into trouble and almost killed you."

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Boss, I was worried about your injury and secretly wanted revenge on the Liudong Sect, so I didn't stop you from continuing to take risks. I was also at fault!"

"How are your injuries now?"

Sun Lingtong told Ning Zhuo truthfully.

He shrugged his shoulders and gritted his teeth: "I originally wanted to follow the clues all the way and find out the information about the old monster in the stone. I didn't expect that the other party could actually see through the Wandering Dragon!"

He was so angry that he wanted to slap himself on the head.

Now that I think about it, what happened?

It is natural for me to like and pursue excitement, but before that, I was too irrational.

"You have been living in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City for a long time and have too many comfortable days, so are you slacking off?"

"Oh, forget it if something happens to you, if it affects Xiao Zhuo..."

"He has immortal talent and a bright future. He has been planning hard for more than ten years. His life is just getting better. He has family and friends, and he is also liked by female nuns. Unlike me, who is just a loner. If he died here because of me..."

Sun Lingtong's heart was filled with self-blame, and she secretly warned herself that in the future, whenever Ning Zhuo was around, she would never take such risks.

This escape experience deeply touched Sun Lingtong's heart.

During the whole process, Ning Zhuo was indeed implicated by Sun Lingtong. If he had discovered the stone balls at the bottom of the cave in the dragon head cabin, he would not have been as eager to mine them as Sun Lingtong.

However, Ning Zhuo was used to it.

In Huoshixian City, he took action many times to get Sun Lingtong out of his cell.

The deep friendship between him and Sun Lingtong is not only the fact that he can trust the other person without any scruples at the moment of life and death. It is also deeper - even if the other person makes a mistake, he will easily forgive him and even make amends for the other person.

.

Ning Zhuo then consoled him: "Although Yuanying monks can travel through the void, they can only do this with the help of Yuanying. It is difficult to do so with a physical body."

Therefore, it is very difficult for Nascent Soul monks to be completely killed. Once the physical body is destroyed, their Nascent Soul can escape from the body and escape into the void, looking for opportunities to seize the body and take revenge.

"The Wandering Dragon of Ten Thousand Miles can take us through the void together. Even if those Nascent Soul monks want to catch up, they are unlikely to take out the Nascent Soul, break away from the body, and risk their lives in pursuit."

A monk's Nascent Soul is the result of a lifetime of practice. It is extremely important for his future path. He will not risk his Nascent Soul easily unless he has to.

"It's precisely because of this that we ran into the Six-hole Sect to explore, isn't it?"

"Our successful escape this time also proves this point. If the Demonic Heart Cave Master really wants to abandon his physical body and use his Nascent Soul to chase us, I'm afraid the other two cave masters will attack his physical body."

"Boss."

"We also gained a lot this time."

"For example, I saw the machine carriage that my mother rode in back then, and I knew that Lin You would get it. I must take this carriage back!"

"Without this adventure, how would I have known such important news?"

Sun Lingtong shook his head and spoke through the puppet: "Xiao Zhuo, please don't comfort me."

"Our losses this time are not small."

"Wanli Youlong was attacked by the master of Devil's Heart Cave before. About 30% of the area needs to be repaired."

"The second half of the machine dragon's body has been eroded by the blood shadow. This should be the tracking method of the blood shadow cave master. If it cannot be removed, we will be noticed by the blood shadow cave master in the future when we approach Qianfeng Forest."

Ning Zhuo shook his head and sat up slowly: "None of this is important, boss."

"The top priority is to resolve your injury."

"Xiao Zhuo..." Even though Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo had been together for more than ten years, they felt a warm current in their hearts at this moment.

Sun Lingtong: "But now, the machine dragon can no longer get close to Qianfeng Forest. If we act alone and rely on our cultivation and combat power, we may not be able to penetrate into the depths of Qianfeng Forest. After all, the war is now

From now on, Qianfeng Forest will be heavily guarded. Foreign faces like us will be very conspicuous."
