Chapter 226: Chapter 216: Confession Letter and Good News Letter
At this point, the cultivators from the three families of the Golden Core cultivators fully understood the deeper meaning behind Zhu Xuanji’s every move.
Zhu Xuanji had done it on purpose. He wanted the City Lord’s Mansion to know that Ning Zhuo had been exposed!
Zhu Xuanji had seized this clue, which equated to grabbing the City Lord’s Mansion by the tail, forcing it to eliminate Ning Zhuo, thereby revealing an even bigger flaw.
“I have a question,” Zheng Shuanggou said, “if I were Fei Si and had failed an attack on Ning Zhuo once, I would definitely attack a second time.”
“Why keep Ning Zhuo until now?”
Zhu Xuanji explained, “As far as my investigation has shown, after Ning Zhuo was attacked and his home destroyed, he took the opportunity to move into the Ning Family Clan Land.”
Zhou Nongying agreed, “The genius cultivators from our three families were all attacked. I remember, back then we actively invited Lord Zhu to conduct this investigation.”
“It seems that at that time, the City Lord’s Mansion dreaded Lord Zhu’s abilities, felt the situation was too tight, and temporarily backed down. This is quite normal.”
Zhu Xuanji continued, “Indeed, I collected various clues, but these were just like my investigation into the Explosive Flame Monkey. It was all to confuse my perception and distract me.”
“Therefore, I didn’t continue following these leads but instead designed a list for investigation, checking each one by one.”
“Ning Zhuo gradually began to stand out and became more excellent. It became harder for the City Lord’s Mansion to take action against him compared to before. To hide its true purpose, it couldn’t just assassinate one person. Otherwise, it would be too easy for me to trace back to them.”
“However, when I look back now, there might be another reason.”
“Ning Zhuo was good at currying favor and had always drawn close to Fei Si. He had shown his talent but was despised and suppressed by the Ning Family Main Line. Such a status actually made him very valuable to ally with.”
“Perhaps Fei Si from the City Lord’s Mansion recognized this.”
“He might have thought that since my focus was on the investigation list and far from their vital points, there was no rush to strike. Instead, he considered or wanted to cultivate Ning Zhuo as a pawn.”
“Ning Zhuo was just a minor figure. He wasn’t the focus, but merely someone to be used.”
“The focus now is that I discovered the suspicion around him and grabbed the City Lord’s Mansion by the tail. If the City Lord’s Mansion is obsessed with assassinating Ning Zhuo, it will reveal a flaw. For us, this is a perfect opportunity.”
“This is also why I called you all here this time.”
“Last time, we explored the Magma Demon Ape’s royal court at the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain together.”
“This time, let’s deal with the City Lord’s Mansion together!”
The cultivators from the three families were all wide-eyed with excitement, and their hearts surged.
“Indeed, this is an excellent opportunity!” Zheng Danlian nodded first.
Zheng Shuanggou clenched his fists and said, “Yes, yes.”
He was the most excited among everyone present.
“Once Meng Kui makes a huge mistake, Lord Zhu will have a legitimate reason to involve the Southern Bean Royal Family to suppress the whole situation.”
“They might not even need to use the royal power. Meng Kui himself, under overwhelming evidence, will be caught unless he wishes to rebel!”
The real serious crime on Meng Kui’s side was not killing Yuan Dasheng and taking the True Scripture from the Demon Sect, but using Ning Zhuo to bomb the Immortal Palace!
The Meng Family, for their own selfish interests, jeopardized thousands of city residents of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
They also created a Black Shadow Demon Cultivator to attack the Magma Fairy Palace. This was overly ambitious, wanting to keep a bandit to strengthen their control.
Such a crime completely crossed the line.
Zheng Shuanggou further expressed his intent to follow Lord Zhu in dealing with the City Lord’s Mansion this time.
Zheng Shuanggou was quite furious.
He realized he had been kept in the dark. His battle with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator totally fell into the City Lord’s Mansion’s calculations.
The two Golden Core cultivators from the Zhou Family secretly sent messages to each other, discussing for a while.
They both felt, “This is indeed a perfect opportunity. If we can pull down the Meng Family, Lord Zhu can leverage the royal power to establish dominance, immediately becoming the master of the Magma Fairy Palace.”
“The Meng Family, for its expansion, broke the rules. Fortunately, Lord Zhu’s sharp insight gathered enough evidence to expose the truth to the world.”
“By then, we will fully occupy the moral high ground, gaining widespread recognition in the Nandou Kingdom. Even other families will either join the royal family in dealing with the Meng Family or stand idle.”
The hearts of people are the trend.
Once Meng Family’s mistakes are exposed, the royal family can stir up the trend.
Under the pressure of the trend, the Meng Family would find it hard to resist!
“If so, this giant Meng Family will be severely weakened by us,” Zhu Xuanji thought with anticipation.
Weakening and striking large cultivation families had always been his political ambition!
This fueled his motivation for the next actions.
Seeing the Zhou Family and Zheng Family had already expressed their stance, Ning Jiufan finally spoke slowly.
“People like Ning Zhanji from our clan were all killed by the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.”
“And the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is from the City Lord’s Mansion. Our Ning Family and City Lord’s Mansion have long been enemies!”
“Fei Si secretly tried to subvert Ning Zhuo and undermine our Ning Family. This is simply intolerable.”
“I am willing to fully support Lord Zhu.”
Ning Jiufan harbored deep hostility towards Meng Kui.
