Chapter 1579: Chapter 653: Want to Beat Ning Zhuo to Death_2

"The Pi Family ultimately did not provide me with Nascent Soul Level Piyin. The Xuan Armor Cave also didn’t lend out the Nascent Soul Level Mystic Armor."

"The Knowledge and Action Integration Skill is unattainable."

"From Kong Ran’s side, there has been no further information on the Spiritual Mechanical Combat Dolls and the like."

Ning Zhuo had also brought up True Intent, but was rejected by all parties; they must be secretly mocking Ning Zhuo’s foolish ambitions.

"The Three Brave Life-taking Nail."

A Black Bone Box is placed in the corner of the desk, containing the Three Brave Life-taking Nail, which appears to be the only treasure recently capable of directly threatening the Three Brave of Xiang Sect.

"There are still people who haven’t arrived, let’s wait a little longer."

Ning Zhuo’s patience was rewarded the next day.

The door restriction of the Three Lights Heavenly Dao Cave Mansion slowly opened, and red-gold light surged in from outside, filling the entire stone chamber like the morning glow.

Chun Yangzi stood outside the door, still dressed in a Red Gold Taoist Robe, with the entire "Pure Yang Pill Scripture" embroidered on the robe, the script glistening under the illumination of the three lights.

Ning Zhuo stood up to greet: "Senior visits, and I failed to meet you from afar."

Ning Zhuo invited him to sit down and personally poured Spiritual Tea: "Senior, your assistance honors me greatly."

Chun Yangzi did not touch the tea, just fixedly stared at Ning Zhuo, golden light flickering in his eyes: "How confident are you really in defeating the Three Brave of Xiang Sect?"

"Junior has self-awareness. The chance of victory in this battle is slim. Swearing under the True Words Bell and surviving the martial arts can at least serve as an explanation to the world. The soul of the senior Red Robe Guest remains in their hands; they are reluctant to kill me, and there will be opportunities for rescue in the future," Ning Zhuo said with a smile.

Chun Yangzi remained expressionless and speechless for a moment.

To say who most anticipated Ning Zhuo’s victory, it wasn’t Shen Hongyao, who was previously the only one to support and encourage Ning Zhuo’s victory, but rather the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator before him.

Chun Yangzi is determined to acquire the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar, he truly cares about the outcome of Ning Zhuo’s battle.

Others, such as Shen Xi, Situ Xing, and the Confucian Cultivator Groups, were more concerned with Ning Zhuo’s life and safety.

One could say, Chun Yangzi is indeed one of the people Ning Zhuo was truly waiting for!

"Ning Zhuo." After a long while, Chun Yangzi finally spoke, "Not long ago, you publicly declared you would rescue the remnant soul of the Red Robe Guest; why now, before the fight, do you focus on survival over victory? What of your youthful ambition?"

Ning Zhuo met his gaze without a hint of evasion: "Senior is right to rebuke me. However, the disparity in combat strength is clear, and junior cannot deceive himself with mere words."

"And yes, I did say I would rescue the soul of Red Robe Guest senior, but my strength is not enough, what else can I do?"

"Now, my only option is to first pass through this test against the Three Brave of Xiang Sect, even if I stumble and bleed, as long as I survive, there’s hope."

"The task of rescuing the remnant soul of the Red Robe Guest is a long-term endeavor and can only be pursued slowly."

Chun Yangzi took a light breath, unable to maintain his outward calm because Ning Zhuo’s words directly placed him in an extremely awkward situation.

All because the Feng Shui treasure land of the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar is truly important to him.

Did Chun Yangzi willingly integrate Pure Yang Palace into Myriad Images Sect?!

He only did so because he couldn’t hold on any longer.

Pure Yangzi brought his entire sect to integrate, which can be seen as being wise and understanding, or as being unable to part with the legacy of his ancestors.

Translated to a national level, he is akin to a ruler displaced from his fallen kingdom.

One can imagine the frustration and depression harbored in Pure Yangzi’s heart!

And now, if he could acquire the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar, he would have a great hope of advancing to Divinity Transformation!

What concept does this entail?

He’s already made the decision to integrate his sect into the Myriad Images Sect. Even though he can’t simply break away, at that time, he could semi-independently establish Pure Yang Peak.

What could the world criticize him for then?

Just the cultivation level of Divinity Transformation would command almost universal respect!

Reaching that point, Chun Yangzi would no longer feel any shame towards the ancestors.

Divinity Transformation!

These two words have been a fiery coal in his chest for countless years. It burns fiercely in the quiet of night, while the ancestral tablets of Pure Yang Palace seem suspended behind him, which Chun Yangzi doesn’t dare to look back at.

"As long as I obtain the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar, I’ll achieve Divinity Transformation."

The hand within Chun Yangzi’s sleeve slightly clenched: "If I achieve Divinity Transformation, how could Pure Yang Palace not be revived?"

But now, it’s all stuck here, stuck with Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo boldly declared his intent to rescue the remnant soul of Red Robe Guest, forcing Chun Yangzi to a position where he couldn’t "fight back"!

Truly unable to "fight back".

Because Chun Yangzi is the nominal leader here, the Great Village Chief of Nanming Village!

Now, with Red Robe Guest having sacrificed in battle array patterns for Nanming Village, his soul rejected. Ning Zhuo, sitting at the last chair, openly announced he would rescue the Demon Soul of the Red Robe Guest.

What am I to do, Chun Yangzi?

Should I fully oppose Ning Zhuo’s action?

If I do so, my prestige will fall to rock bottom. Everyone in Nanming Village will look down on me, and my reputation will collapse, dragging Juyang Peak down with it.

The chair Chun Yangzi sat on had already become a shackle to his actions.

He could only remain silent, banking on the fact that everyone knew of his enmity with the Red Robe Guest, so the public would understand his silence.

And in such silence, Ning Zhuo did not retreat against difficulties, but took a further step, announcing he would swear under the True Words Bell and set a date for the duel with the Three Brave of Xiang Sect.

Chun Yangzi truly couldn’t sit still anymore!

The development of the current situation is something he absolutely did not want to see. Because the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar truly mattered too much to him, yet now, the battle between Ning Zhuo and the Three Brave of Xiang Sect would decide the final result of the Five Battles Martial Arts contest, determining whether he could obtain this piece of treasure land!

Chun Yangzi is anguished.

The source of his anguish is knowing full well that he can only watch and not stop any of this from happening.

Not mentioning his prestige on the Righteous Path, even sacrificing his reputation wouldn’t stop it—because none of the major forces on Flowing Cloud Peak would act based on his mood!

These people only focus on Ning Zhuo’s core identity, and firmly latch onto the point that "defeating Ning Zhuo would lead to the collapse of Nanming Village", actively pushing for the duel between the Three Brave of Xiang Sect and Ning Zhuo.

Chun Yangzi, though he is a Nascent Soul Level powerhouse and Great Village Chief, is not the leader in this conflict.

In essence, Ning Zhuo’s sudden move at the last moment directly took away his control of the situation!

Chun Yangzi endured bitterly, watching coldly for many days, finally visiting today.

Upon hearing Ning Zhuo’s heartfelt aim to survive, he wished he could crush Ning Zhuo on the spot!

If he had known this, why did you, this young man, loudly proclaim the rescue of the Red Robe Guest’s Demon Soul?!

Making it impossible for yourself to step down, causing my major plans to be at risk!

I understand you want to maintain your reputation. But I want to acquire the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar!

Your minor reputation can be lost, but the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar pertains to my advancement to Divinity Transformation.

Ruining my grand plans, ruining my grand plans indeed.

This brat is impossible to work with!!!

Chun Yangzi is greatly repressed, because he can’t explain. The issue of advancing to Divinity Transformation is absolutely a life-and-death matter, which of course must be kept secret.

"Therefore, Ning Zhuo made a misjudgment. Just as his reputation was about to be endangered, he was agitated to rise and rashly declare the rescue of the Demon Soul."

"He assumes the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar is just marginally beneficial to me. He thinks that even if this matter fails, other targets could be pursued."

"This boy..."

Chun Yangzi understands Ning Zhuo deeply, yet also wishes he could "kill" Ning Zhuo.

Of course, "killing" is merely an expression of extreme and irrational anger. Chun Yangzi, naturally, understands that Ning Zhuo is the central key to Nanming Village, and nothing must happen to him, or the entire Nanming Village would collapse.
