Chapter 252 The world is as dark as the ancient roads
The commander waved his sleeves and followed the stone tower to the Phoenix Tower.
"There are other accomplices, you two also want to challenge the city regulations?" The commander stared coldly at Feng Jinghong and the gold-eating beast.
As he spoke, he scanned them with his spiritual consciousness and found that these were just two saints, so he felt relieved.
"Challenging city regulations? What a big hat!" Feng Jinghong gently put down the tea cup.
"Don't ask about the reason, just ask about your identity. Is this how you usually enforce the law?"
The commander said indifferently: "I don't need you to teach me how to enforce the law. Report your identities, otherwise you will be punished with the same crime!"
Feng Jinghong sighed and shook his head. The original plot only revealed the darkness and filthiness of the human race's ancient road, but he didn't expect that the demon race's ancient road was not far behind.
Although it is true that Jade Rakshasa's assassination violated city regulations, the other party's attitude towards him was too obvious, and it was clear that he was working with Aries Taotie.
If the ancient paths of all ethnic groups are so dark, and even law enforcers choose sides early on, how can we cultivate talents?
"Calling out any other accomplices you have, it would be too troublesome to kill them one by one." Feng Jinghong said calmly.
"What an arrogant young man!" Even though the commander-in-chief was profound, he was also angered by this completely dismissive attitude.
He has been guarding the ancient road for so many years, and no one has ever dared to underestimate him. Even the Eight Demon Kings had to politely call out "Senior" when they broke through the barrier!
"Since you don't cherish the opportunity I gave you, then go to hell!" The commander said and punched down, bringing Feng Jinghong and the three of them into the attack range at the same time.
Just as Feng Jinghong was about to fight back, he saw formation patterns suddenly light up on the Phoenix Tower, blocking the commander's attack.
The commander's face darkened: "Egret, what do you mean?"
I saw a beautiful woman in a white feather skirt slowly ascending to the top floor from the bottom floor. She smiled at Feng Jinghong and the others, then faced the commander and said:
"I have heard from the waiter about this matter. It was indeed Aries and Taotie who provoked me first. They violated the rules of my Phoenix Tower and deserved to die. The commander-in-chief should not use this as an excuse to embarrass these fellow Taoists."
This woman named Bailu is only in the realm of a saint, but she does not seem to be afraid of the commander-in-chief. Her words may seem polite but are actually tough.
The commander-in-chief seemed to have some concerns. He did not take action directly, but frowned and said: "You should know Taotie's identity. Are you really going to fight me for these people?"
Bailu said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is serious. I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to maintain the rules of the Phoenix Tower. These fellow Taoists are in trouble here. As the owner of the building, I should compensate them."
"Hmph!" The commander-in-chief, who had been so strong before, didn't even say anything. He gave Feng Jinghong and the others a cold look and then flew away.
Egret's expression remained calm, as if everything was as expected.
She slowly walked up to Feng Jinghong and the others, and bowed politely: "The reception at Phoenix Tower was not good, and I have caused trouble to several fellow Taoists. I hope you will forgive me."
Feng Jinghong narrowed her eyes: "It doesn't matter, we forgive you."
Bailu's friendly smile paused, and then he smiled brightly: "Fellow Taoist is quite interesting."
Feng Jinghong said calmly: "I'm just too lazy to be polite. If the host has anything to say, just say it directly."
Bailu was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect Feng Jinghong to be so direct, but she didn't mind at all: "In that case, I'll get straight to the point."
Feng Jinghong made a gesture of invitation.
The egret said: "Taotie is the sworn brother of the Sky-Swallowing Beast. If you kill it, the Sky-Swallowing Beast will definitely not let it go.
With the way it behaves, it is possible for it to turn around and come back from the ancient road to intercept and kill you.
Therefore, you need a strong ally!"
Feng Jinghong's expression was calm, and the other party's words were completely within his expectation.
She and the others were new here, so the reason why they could help each other out could only be because she took a fancy to the talent and combat power that Jade Rakshasa had just shown.
If he guessed correctly, Egret should also be a supporter of a certain demon king. Like Taotie, he recruited troops and horses to expand the power of the king he supported at the front of the ancient road.
Allies are just a polite term, choosing followers is the real thing.
"Which demon king is this ally you are talking about?" Feng Jinghong asked.
Egret showed off a smile: "Ice Soul Queen!"
"She has a problem with the Sky-Swallowing Beast?"
Egret nodded slightly: "The sky-swallowing beast is cruel and domineering, and basically every demon king can't deal with it."
Feng Jinghong rubbed her teacup: "The girl probably has other identities, but the title of Queen of Ice Soul cannot make a Saint King retreat directly."
Bailu smiled slightly: "The lord of the sixth city is my grandfather."
"That's it." Feng Jinghong sighed in her heart.
We have only reached the sixth level, and the ancient road has just begun. The envoys and commanders have already formed their respective teams. The following levels will only become more chaotic and corrupt.
These masters and law enforcers use their own methods to recruit people for the kings they support. They use coercion and inducement at all costs, which is too unfriendly to newcomers who have no background.
However, this had little to do with Feng Jinghong. He was too lazy to clean up this environment, as long as it didn't get into his own head.
"There is no rush to form an alliance. Let's wait until we meet the Ice Soul Queen in the future." Feng Jinghong declined Egret politely.
This banshee is not angry either. Prodigies are always arrogant and it would be abnormal to agree to follow others easily.
What's more, these three people are not generally powerful. Jade Rakshasa's identity and talent have been confirmed, and her potential is endless, but she is vaguely led by the man in front of her, who is probably stronger.
As for the remaining one who can partner with these two, he won't be that weak at all.
These three people are worth winning over!
Even if you can't win, you still need to build a good relationship. It's important to invest in advance!
"Although the commander-in-chief has retreated today, he will definitely find opportunities to deal with you in the future. Fellow Taoists, please be careful!" Bailu said solemnly.
"Humph, if you hadn't stopped him just now, he would have been dead!" Jade Rakshasa muttered.
Bailu glanced at her and Feng Jinghong in surprise, and said: "Don't be careless, the commander's body is the ancient demon rhinoceros, with strong muscles and iron bones, and infinite strength!
And his tower is not ordinary, it has a ray of chaos energy fused into it, and it is extremely powerful, so you must be careful!"
Bailu reminded them seriously, but found that the three people still didn't care. Jade Rakshasa even curled his lips in disdain, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
Feng Jinghong smiled when he saw this, took out a piece of tea and put it on the table: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness today, girl. This is tea, please accept it!"
After saying that, the three of them got up and left the Phoenix Tower.
Not long after they left, the waitress who had been questioned by Feng Jinghong came here and asked Bailu: "Miss, how are you?"
The egret gently sniffed the Enlightenment tea leaves left by Feng Jinghong, with an intoxicated expression: "Your feeling is right, none of these three people are weak, and each of them has the appearance of a demon king. I will mark your contribution this time!"
"Thank you, miss!"
"It's a pity that they were a little wary of me and couldn't ask more questions." The egret sighed.
She heard Feng Jinghong's confident demeanor and tone, and said to herself: "Thank you for your kindness instead of coming to the rescue. Are you really sure that you can deal with that old cow, or is it just arrogance?"
