When Feng Mo and the others returned to the place of decisive battle, it was already the bright moon, but in a mountain stream, a huge fire dispersed all the darkness that covered the sky and the sun.
After the battle, everyone was enjoying a grand barbecue banquet.
The scene became very lively for a while, but if you look closely, you can notice that the soldiers of the Red Robe Army did not participate in the fun. They just huddled quietly in a corner, eating barbecue and watching the players having fun.
Crazy.
Xuanyang Wei's performance was similar, except that each of them had a wine jar next to them, eating barbecue and drinking wine at the same time.
The rest of the Dark Alliance and the people who came to help, plus a group of players, went completely crazy. Some were drinking and bragging, some were dancing and dancing, and some were huddled in the corner playing cards.
However, Luo Xinghun and others are not so relaxed. They are still calculating the distribution of the spoils this time. This is also something Qin Fan has asked to solve first.
As for Qin Fan, he stood quietly on a cliff, enjoying the refreshing evening breeze and looking at the moon in the sky, lost in thought.
"My lord."
Hearing Feng Mo's voice, Qin Fan turned around and saw that the three of them were unharmed. He probably guessed the result.
"Sima Kongming was not found?"
Wang Jingyu shook his head: "Not only was he not found, he was also tricked by the other party."
Then the three of them began to tell each other what happened. Using Zhang Guyen's diversion incense, the three of them quickly discovered the location of their target, which was a mansion in Xuanshui City.
But after the three people entered it, a series of explosions were triggered, but Feng Mo's quick eyes and hands quickly pulled out a corpse hidden in the corner before retreating.
This is the body of Qiu Kaide, the seventh elder of the Forging Knife Hall.
Apart from that, the three of them had no other gains.
"I understand. As for the corpse being destroyed, keeping it will be troublesome." Qin Fan's expression did not change much, as if he had expected it.
Feng Mo nodded, and after taking out the corpse, he exhaled energy from his hand. In an instant, the corpse exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist and dissipated into the sky.
"This..." Zhang Guyen wanted to stop him, but Feng Mo moved too fast. By the time he spoke up, it was too late.
"Master, there should be some use for this body."
"Yes, but it's not necessary. First a second elder died, and then a seventh elder died. There is no reason for the Knife Forging Hall to continue to remain silent.
Besides, they themselves are not suitable partners to talk to, let alone Sima Kongming Fanfeng Dianhuo among them."
Qin Fan said calmly.
Zhang Guyen frowned slightly and then said:
"Then can we take the opportunity to provoke Sima Kongming and Zhudaotang? After all, this Qiu Kaide did not die in our hands."
Qin Fan looked at Zhang Guyen and shook his head:
"Same sentence, yes, but not necessary.
This time our opponent is Sima Kongming, who can figure out some tricks. In addition, we are in the light and he is in the dark. If we do more, we will make more mistakes.
More importantly, we are not sure whether Qiu Kaide died in Xuanyang Territory with the tacit approval of Zhu Dao Tang."
"Ah?" Wang Jingyu and Zhang Guyen looked confused.
Feng Mo thought of something and said:
"You two should be clear about the situation in the Forging Knife Hall. On the surface, there are two major factions headed by Hall Master Ying Tianhong and Great Elder Gui Qiuge, but in fact there is a third faction."
"Is Qiu Kaide the third faction?" The two old antiques who had been shrinking in Taoyuan Village frowned a little deeper.
Qin Fan explained:
"This also involves some past events of the Sword Forging Hall. The original hall master and the great elder were two opposing factions, and they were also in a state of opposition in terms of their behavior.
They can be called conservative moderates and radical hard-liners.
But everything changed when Ying Tianhong became the leader of the hall, and these two factions can be regarded as the radical hard-liners and the more radical lunatic faction."
"Ah?" Wang Jingyu and Zhang Guyen continued to be confused.
Qin Fan continued:
"This is also the information we have recently discovered. Ying Tianhong has always been from a moderate faction, and his style is relatively stable.
But from the last incident with Xiang Bohuai, we have found out that the conflicts within the Forging Knife Hall have erupted to the extent that other forces are aware of it.
After some in-depth digging, it was discovered that Ying Tianhong's moderation was actually fake. He was just wearing the skin of a moderate, and his behavior was more radical than that of a hardliner.
As for their internal conflict, Ying Tianhong decided to make a desperate move. In order to break the rumor that the Grand Master is the upper limit of martial arts, he wanted to use the thousands of knives in the Sword Forging Hall to sharpen a heavenly sword that can crush the limit!"
"Madman!" Wang Jingyu and Zhang Guyen exclaimed in unison.
"So the moderates at this time are superfluous. Anyone who might hinder this plan will be wiped out by Ying Tianhong, and Qiu Kaide is one of the elders advocating for the moderates now."
Feng Mo answered.
After Zhang Guyen thought about it, he was very puzzled:
"I remember that I met Ying Tianhong before. He shouldn't have acted like this. This was completely gambling on the millennium foundation of the Knife Forging Hall, just for a slim chance."
"This means that after you met him, he once experienced something that made him extremely sure that the limit can be broken, so he put everything on the line."
Qin Fan said with a cold expression.
Feng Mo understood somewhat. He looked at Wang Jingyu and said, "Old Wang, as a swordsman, if you knew there was a road ahead, would you stop where you are?"
"Won't."
"Then if this road is very difficult and you have to sacrifice everything except the knife in your hand, will you still go on it?"
Wang Jingyu hesitated for a moment and said:
"Maybe I would have done it twenty years ago, but now that I have experienced so much, I... feel a little reluctant to give up."
"Don't forget that the purpose of the establishment of the Sword Forging Hall is to cast a 'human sword' worthy of the title of Heavenly Sword. What Ying Tianhong did is in line with the legacy of his ancestors."
Qin Fan's tone indicated that he was not surprised by Tianhong's choice, but then he changed his tone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course, this is just our guess. Maybe it was Sima Kongming himself who decided to kill Qiu Kaide and then used such despicable means to frame us
Woolen cloth."
At this time, Zhang Guyen, who had always had some illusions, also shut up. Sima Kongming saw through his trick and used them to come to the door and set up such a trap.
He knew that the other party, the chief catcher of the six sects, did not rise to the top through connections. His strength, wisdom, knowledge, methods, etc. could all be called a real enemy.
Therefore, it is simply wishful thinking to expect that there will be any omissions in the other party's plan.
"Things haven't turned out to be the worst yet. After all, Sima Kongming doesn't know that we have confirmed his identity." Qin Fan's expression was calm.
Then he took out a piece of paper and started writing and drawing, and then called the letter eagle to send the letter away.
Seeing Xin Ying disappearing into a small black dot, the three of them were a little puzzled. Qin Fan just waved his hand and said:
"The decisive battle is over. You don't have to be so nervous. Go enjoy this banquet."
Zhang Guyen and Wang Jingyu looked at each other and nodded. Since Qin Fan didn't say anything further, it meant that the other party was confident, so there was no need for them to continue asking.
Then the two figures flashed, one looking for his silly son, and the other preparing to see if Luo Xinghun needed help.
But at this time, Feng Mo was a little dissatisfied and said: "My lord, where are A Da and Lin Yi? They have neglected their duties!"
Qin Fan helplessly spread his hands:
"Ah Da is still sleeping, and Fat Da is protecting him. I can't expect a sick person to protect me.
As for Lin Yi, the casual cultivators needed to send someone over, so I asked him to deal with it first.
Besides, with my current strength, it would not be easy for an ordinary grandmaster to kill me."
Feng Mo knew that this was the truth, but it was still difficult to change the habits of many years. Whenever Qin Fan lacked experts around him, he always felt a little uneasy.
Then he sighed deeply and took the initiative to change the topic:
"My lord, what was the letter just now?"
It was inconvenient for Wang Jingyu and Zhang Guyen to ask about the same thing, but Feng Mo didn't have that many scruples.
"Since we have determined that our next opponent is the Knife-Forging Hall, we must first let someone test it out."
"Oh? Is it 'moon'?"
Qin Fan shook his head: "'Yue' needs to cooperate with the Blood Widow to continue to infiltrate Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion. If he hadn't taken the initiative to tell the truth before, I didn't expect that his talents in certain aspects would be so outstanding."
"Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion? Talent? Outstanding?"
Feng Mo's expression became more and more weird. He always knew that his good brother basically spent all his spare money in Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion.
He did not comment on this kind of personal style issue, but he always felt a little weird that his outstanding talent was known to his superiors.
"You are overthinking, 'Yue' is actually...well, forget it, after all, he is good at dealing with women, and I also need to confirm some news now."
Qin Fan glanced at Feng Mo and knew that some unhealthy thoughts must have appeared in his mind, so he quickly interrupted.
"what news?"
"We can confirm that Mo Haolin has been killed by a borrowed knife and a borrowed knife. Since that person intends to get rid of her, this decisive battle is an excellent opportunity for her.
According to her plan, the Red Robe Army should be leaderless now. If she wanted to promote someone to help her completely control the Red Robe Army, she would have to come in person.
All I want to confirm is when she will arrive."
Feng Mo's eyes lit up. After all, she was still an ally with Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion. If she arrived in Xuanyang Territory and the Lord personally sent someone to invite him to meet, she would not be able to refuse.
"The Lord is preparing..."
Feng Mo made a motion of slitting his throat, and Qin Fan silently rolled his eyes.
"Don't just think about fighting and killing her. Her identity is a hundred times more important than Sima Kongming. If she is really good or bad, it will be a big trouble. I just want to have a friendly exchange with her."
Seeing Qin Fan show his kind smile again, Feng Mo knew that if the eldest princess didn't have three layers of oil scraped off by then, she would have seen a ghost.
Then his topic returned to before.
"If 'Yue' hadn't been asked to test the Knife Forging Hall, other people..."
Feng Mo clearly understood the only answer, but there was a touch of warmth in his eyes.
"I received a letter from her a few days ago. She has passed the test, so according to tradition it is time to start the next step of training, so the timing is just right."
Qin Fan also had a genuine smile in his eyes, and at the same time his expression showed a hint of helplessness.
"After all, seven years have passed. I hope her old habits have changed, otherwise it will be really troublesome~"
...
At the barbecue party.
The players began to wolf down all kinds of barbecued meats into their mouths, and at the same time they also didn't let go of some fine wine, and they all muttered words that others could not understand at all.
"My X, the first time you eat this meat, the blood limit will be increased by 100. Hurry up, hurry up, don't let go if you haven't eaten it, and don't eat it a second time if you eat it!"
"Come here and drink this wine, it can improve your mental power! Although I heard that the specific value of mental power will only appear when you break through the Tongmai realm, but you will definitely make money if you drink it now!"
"Hmm - this barbecue is delicious, but why is it just increasing the recovery speed of physical strength? I have full physical strength now. If I don't use it up, I will lose 100 million!
Are there any mineral veins nearby? I'll go dig them first and wait until my energy is almost gone before I come back and continue eating!"
"Are you stupid? This banquet will only be held for one night. When you come back, there will only be bones left!"
"But haven't you noticed? Being a cook is really promising. Whether it's the Red Robe Army or the Xuanyang Guard, including the Dark Alliance, there are warriors who are responsible for cooking.
The effect of the ingredients they handle is almost 10,000 times better than that of the rubbish cooks here!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s right, I’m talking about you [King of Dry Rice Drops], don’t waste those top-quality ingredients, let the bosses do it first!”
"Everyone, I want to know what's going on. I heard that the elixir that can improve strength is quite troublesome to buy. Even if you have money, it is difficult to get it.
Therefore, most small and medium-sized forces, as well as some casual cultivators, use food supplements to improve their strength.
Therefore, they have a unique cooking method that can greatly increase the effect of the ingredients, and for example, particularly powerful chefs are not even inferior to those superior doctors in terms of status!"
The other players looked as if they had suddenly realized it, and the players who seemed to be preparing to specialize in the chef sub-profession looked at the NPCs who were grilling with bright eyes.
This banquet was proposed by Qin Fan. After all, why should we relax after the battle?
Moreover, it is not easy to fully preserve the effects of the flesh and blood on the dead beasts. Instead of letting them go to waste, it is better to make the best use of them.
As for the fine wine, it was naturally brought by Xia Jinyu's large caravan. They had wine and meat, and now they just had to play music and dance.
However, after watching [Wo Zhi’s Sadness Low] originally planned to perform a dance song, but was chased and beaten by Luo Xinghun, no one can take on the important task of DJ now.
But in short, the current scene is very exciting. With players here, it is difficult not to be excited.
But in the corner, the crazy cow duo were a little worried.
"Old Niu, it's okay. The village owner probably didn't reject you. It's just that there are too many things going on at the moment, so he didn't explain the spell to you in detail."
"I hope so. I saw Brother Lin just now, and I always felt that he looked at me strangely.
Originally, I gave up the arrow and learned the stick, but now I don't even need the stick. Do you think his friendliness will drop to the point where he will fight to the death?
By the way, I didn’t mention it to anyone else... Well, by the way, Gong Shulian, I saw Gong Shulian talking to Brother Lin Didi Gugu before, it’s over, she must have been the one who tipped it off!"
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] He is very sad. He feels that he has made the wrong choice on another fork in his life.
