Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1454: Chapter 592: What Is Ning Zhuo’s True Background?!

The yellow-robed youth, under Ning Zhuo’s guidance, sat at the main table.

He was a few seats away from the Nine Fire Dragon Lord.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord stared at him, and everyone else’s gaze was fixed on this yellow-robed youth.

This was a rather mysterious and unfamiliar Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator!

More importantly, like the Nine Fire Dragon Lord, he was not here to observe but to join directly!

Where did he come from?

He was not Ning Zhuo’s creditor.

His inexplicable decision to join Nanming Village, for what purpose?!

Countless doubts arose one after another, continuously swirling in the minds of all the cultivators in the hall.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord was rather direct, using Divine Sense Transmission to inquire of the yellow-robed youth: "Fellow Daoist, what should I call you? I am quite curious, you are not a creditor of Ning Zhuo, why did you join Nanming Village?"

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord felt both a sense of closeness and a great deal of wariness towards the yellow-robed youth, who was also a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator.

From the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s perspective, he was forced, with no choice but to join Nanming Village. But the yellow-robed youth chose to participate voluntarily, what is the reasoning behind this?!

The yellow-robed youth responded with Divine Sense: "Dragon Lord, you can call me Tu Yuanzi. Why did I join? Hehe, I came for Ning Zhuo."

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s pupils immediately shrank, and he pursued further: "What do you mean?"

The yellow-robed youth chuckled, revealing a hint of naivety, and did not respond further.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord fell silent, turning his head to look at Ning Zhuo, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Ning Zhuo had been observing the yellow-robed youth, and upon seeing the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s expression, immediately guessed that the two might have engaged in a Divine Sense exchange.

Ning Zhuo’s thoughts turned, suddenly addressing the yellow-robed youth: "Esteemed Nascent Soul predecessor, I have yet to inquire your respected surname and name."

"Oh, you can just call me Tu Yuanzi," responded the yellow-robed youth.

He seemed to be someone who had closed himself off for years of hard practice, weak in social interactions, only now revealing his name.

Ning Zhuo glanced at the Nine Fire Dragon Lord, then said: "Senior Tu Yuanzi, it is our honor that you deem Nanming Village worthy to join. But there is one matter that I need to explain in advance to show my sincerity—"

Tu Yuanzi looked earnestly at Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo carefully considered his words: "All fellow Daoists who join Nanming Village will have ranked chairs, and this ranking is linked to debts."

"This means that, according to the current debt situation, you and I have no debt, but I owe the Nine Fire Dragon Lord a considerable amount."

"The Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s debt exceeds yours, so he will be ranked ahead of you."

"Please do not take offense; the original intention for building Nanming Village was to repay debts, not to be a person who owes."

These words were Ning Zhuo’s probe; he couldn’t figure out this mysterious demon cultivator’s origins and purpose.

These words were also Ning Zhuo’s comfort to the Nine Fire Dragon Lord. The stout youth directly stated his attitude.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s expression immediately relaxed.

Tu Yuanzi, after listening, nodded directly: "No problem, Ning Zhuo... young friend, I’ll follow your arrangement."

The attitude of this mysterious Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator was unexpectedly approachable!

His simple and straightforward response, this decisive and smooth attitude, once again dropped a stone in the hearts of all in the hall.

"Is this Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator Tu Yuanzi really so easygoing?"

"Hehe, have you ever seen such a talkative Nascent Soul? It varies from person to person, doesn’t it?"

"That’s right, this statement is to the point! Tu Yuanzi’s attitude is only like this towards Ning Zhuo."

"Brother Ning is not simple, indeed."

"Ning Zhuo’s identity must be very mysterious indeed!"

"Tu Yuanzi is likely dispatched by the power behind Young Master Ning Zhuo."

"Very likely so. Otherwise, how could Ning Zhuo have such confidence to use the Nanming Fire Furnace to establish alliances and reach new heights? Such a young master from a great family, his every move has deep meaning! How could he make such a risky move?"

"Exactly! Lord Ning Zhuo must have made arrangements long ago."

Everyone was transmitting thoughts, frantically exchanging ideas, quickly reaching consensus.

More and more attention shifted from Tu Yuanzi to Ning Zhuo. Some people’s eyes glinted as they recalled another aspect of Ning Zhuo.

"Speaking of which, Ning Zhuo’s background and heritage, hasn’t been investigated by our sect?"

"Isn’t this too strange? Given the efficiency and capability of our sect, it shouldn’t take this long, right?"

"Could it be that the Foreign Affairs Hall actually investigated it but kept it from the high level?"

"If that’s the case, Ning Zhuo’s background is very special and powerful."

"This time a mysterious Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator appeared to support, what kind of power is this?"

"Tu Yuanzi is a demon cultivator... could Ning Zhuo’s background be related to the Demon Race? So, the Myriad Images Sect high-level concealed his background information?"

The more they thought, the deeper they went, unable to help but take cold breaths.

Thus, in the hall, the sound of gentle breaths being quietly sucked continued without pause.

Ning Zhuo maintained a calm demeanor, a smile on his face, his heart filled with curiosity: "What exactly is this Tu Yuanzi up to? Why is he so amiable towards me? We’ve clearly met for the first time. What exactly is his purpose?"

The yellow-robed youth Tu Yuanzi was actually Huang Yue, Cang Yazi’s pet beast partner.

Cang Yazi didn’t want to enter the fray himself but wanted to use the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit to awaken the spirit of other pet beast partners, so he arranged for Huang Yue to join Nanming Village.

He advised Huang Yue: "With all the magic treasures I’ve given you, you can hide your identity and cultivation level, and pose as a Nascent Soul Level cultivator."

"This is beneficial for you."

"Firstly, the Nascent Soul Level can help you avoid much coveting and trouble while attracting attention. Secondly, it also explains to the outside world the matter of your combat power far surpassing a Golden Core Cultivator."
