"Master, what just flew away from Phoenix City was indeed the Phoenix Shenzhou. After many investigations, it has been confirmed that there were only three people on the Phoenix Shenzhou... Yun Che, Feng Hengkong, and the Snow Princess Feng Xue'er. What was flying was
In the direction of Blue Wind Kingdom. If we are indeed going to Blue Wind, then we can reach Blue Wind Imperial City before dusk tomorrow."
"...Can we find out what happened?" Zi Ji frowned.
"Feng Tianwei is on the side, so we don't dare to get close. But we will know before tomorrow."
Zi Ji pondered for a long time and said slowly: "It's really a series of twists and turns."
It can be said that the development of this matter completely deviated from his expectations at every step. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him who had always understood the overall situation.
"Master, I have something to report. The eleven people who infiltrated the Illusory Demon Realm a hundred years ago, and the last three soul marks after the eight people before us, all disappeared... just a quarter of an hour ago. It is very likely that they were...
Their identities were exposed, they were then searched for their souls, and finally they were all removed."
"..." Ziji remained silent.
"Master, you don't need to worry too much about this matter. A hundred years ago, those of us who infiltrated the Demon King Realm only brought seven sound transmission stones. The news that came a year ago happened to be the seventh time, which means that seven
All the sound transmission stones have been used up. Even if they all survive, they will not be able to send back the message. Although they are dead, they have completed their mission."
The "sound-transmission stone" he refers to is naturally not an ordinary sound-transmission stone, but a special sound-transmission stone that can travel millions of miles from the Illusory Demon Realm back to the Tianxuan Continent. This special sound-transmission stone has an overview of
In the entire Tianxuan Continent, only the Four Holy Lands with extremely profound foundations can possess them, and their numbers are extremely rare.
"... They were all safe and sound before, but they have been exterminated one after another recently. It seems that something big has happened in the Illusory Demon Realm." Zi Ji said slowly: "However, what I care about more is not their exposure and life or death, but their exposure.
The last news came back a year ago."
"A year ago?"
"The news briefly described the current situation of the twelve guardian families of Demon Imperial City. When it mentioned the Yun family, it mentioned that the crippled Yun Qinghong had adopted an adopted son named 'Yun Che'..."
Zi Ji's words paused here, and the man in blue beside him suddenly frowned and asked doubtfully: "Does the master think that he and Yun Che have some connection? It should be just the same name, after all..."
"At the time, I didn't take it seriously at all, but..."
Ziji didn't continue talking, and the two wings spread out in the darkness of dawn in the Xuanying Stone appeared in his mind... and the cyan storm swirling under the wings.
And... Yun Che came back alive.
"Master, do you mean..."
Zi Ji shook his head slightly and did not comment, but changed his tone and said with a deep meaning: "A hundred years ago, when we invaded the Demon Imperial City, we were not the only ones who took advantage of the chaos and sent people to infiltrate... but also Tian
Mighty Sword Domain. I wonder if they have also exhausted the sound transmission stones..."
————————————————————
The Phoenix Divine Ark is the highest-level profound ark of the Divine Phoenix Sect, and it is also the iconic existence of the entire Divine Phoenix Kingdom. Wherever it flies, the emperor must be there in person.
As night falls, Feng Shenzhou is approaching the border of Shenhuang. Wherever it flies, the citizens of Shenhuang pay homage from a distance.
There were only three people on the huge Phoenix Divine Boat. Yun Che, Feng Xue'er, and Feng Hengkong, whose expression was changing in various ways.
"Father said that with the speed of Feng Shenzhou, we should be able to reach Blue Wind Imperial City by this time tomorrow." Feng Xue'er sat next to Yun Che, very close to him. When she spoke, her face showed
She was blushing and obviously excited. After all, this was the first time she had left the Divine Phoenix Country since she was born. She had been looking forward to this day since she was very young.
Seeing Feng Xue'er not shying away from anything, even leaning her body towards Yun Che very naturally, with her eyes full of intimacy, Feng Hengkong's face twitched, but he could only sigh silently... In Feng Shenzhou
In the past few hours, he had sighed silently countless times.
He believed that he had always protected Feng Xue'er to the extreme. Even her biological brothers could not get within three steps. Not to mention outsiders, even the disciples of the sect were extremely lucky to see Feng Xue'er once in a while.
.
How come...
Feng Hengkong stretched out his hand to grab the top of his head, and his tightened fingers wished he could pull out all the hair on his head... He would rather Yun Che bring harm to the Divine Phoenix Sect to pieces than to bring harm to Feng Xue'er.
"Did you kill Feng Chihuo?" Feng Hengkong, who was scratching his scalp, suddenly said coldly.
"Yes." Yun Che replied without any pause.
"Huh!" Feng Hengkong didn't say any more, because the matter was at this point, and it was useless to say anything. He now only hoped that Feng Xue'er's feelings for Yun Che would not reach the level that he did not dare to think about.
"I also want to ask you a question." Yun Che's eyes were locked on Feng Hengkong: "What is the real purpose of your order to invade me, Cangfeng...?"
Feng Hengkong froze and said nothing.
"Father, Xue'er also wants to know why." Feng Xue'er said softly: "Because I know that my father is definitely not a cruel and heartless person. The decision that my father made three years ago must...must be..."
Is there any very special reason or reason? Can you...tell it to me and Brother Yun? Maybe after knowing the reason, Brother Yun's blame on my father... will be a little smaller."
Feng Hengkong slowly lowered his hand and asked Feng Xue'er softly. He had no strength to refuse. Then he thought about the fact that Yun Che clearly knew the truth about Phoenix God's death... Feng Hengkong sighed slowly and said:
"Four years ago, when our sect Lingkun Palace began to prepare for the imminent appearance of the Ancient Xuan Ark, we accidentally discovered that there was a weak reaction from the amethyst mineral deposits in the far east of the Blue Wind Kingdom. And across such a long distance
There was a purple crystal reaction, which had never happened before in history, so they sent a protector of Lingkun Temple to investigate secretly, and found that in the east of a small town called Liuyun City, they found a secret weapon hidden deep underground.
The amethyst ore is huge and has an astonishing energy level... If all these amethyst ores are mined and refined, a hundred kilograms of purple veins can be obtained..."
"God Crystal!"
"Ah!" Feng Xue'er exclaimed. A hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal is a concept that is enough to shock the heavens... let alone the Purple Veined Divine Crystal!!
One hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal is an extremely huge resource even for the Four Holy Lands!
You know, it would take at least five hundred years for a Holy Land to accumulate a hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals! If the Divine Phoenix Sect obtained all these Purple Veined Divine Crystals, it would be equivalent to possessing a Holy Land all at once. Such beings would have to accumulate more than 500 kilograms.
Years of resources!
This kind of temptation is enough for the Divine Phoenix Sect...enough to make any force in Tianxuan Continent do whatever it takes to get it!
"So... that's it!!" Yun Che raised his head. Feng Hengkong's words almost immediately cleared up all the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Yun, do you already know?" Yun Che's words made Feng Xue'er look at him in confusion.
"Absolutely." Yun Che stood up, frowned, stared at Feng Hengkong and said, "Let your father do the talking."
Feng Hengkong closed his eyes slightly and spoke directly: "Back then, after the ancestor Phoenix God passed away, those of us who knew about this incident had a strong sense of crisis. Because once this incident was spread, the Divine Phoenix Sect would definitely be attacked.
The suppression of the Four Holy Lands... may even lead to annihilation. Therefore, while guarding the secret of Phoenix God's death, we have been looking for ways to preserve the whole sect in case the secret is leaked... at least we can preserve it.
Xue'er's method."
"The discovery of this huge amethyst mine makes me and my father ecstatic. If we can really obtain a hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals, we will be able to give birth to a large number of extremely powerful people in a short period of time, and thus add a deeper layer of power.
Assure."
"That's... this reason? Just to get the amethyst mine in Blue Wind Country?" Feng Xue'er was confused and shook her head in confusion: "But, what does this have to do with Father's order to invade Blue Wind Country... It's still so cruel
Way!?"
"Of course it is to keep Chen Cang secret and not be noticed by the people in the Four Holy Lands." Yun Che said, but there was a faint mockery deep in his eyes: "There are people in the Four Holy Lands secretly monitoring the movements of the Divine Phoenix Sect at any time. And this Amethyst
The existence of the mine can only be known to a few core figures in the sect. If these core figures are naturally the focus of surveillance in the four holy places, no matter how secretive the action is, there is a huge risk of being discovered. When the time comes, the amethyst mine will
It will also be exposed, and once exposed, you will no longer belong to the Divine Phoenix Sect."
"So, the purpose of your order to launch a war against Cangfeng is to cover up and divert other people's attention! And in order to maximize the effect of the cover-up, you did not hesitate to massacre people and burn the city, showing your eagerness to capture Cangfeng in the shortest possible time.
, as if I was venting my anger because I made you lose face in the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Tournament!"
"Yes." Feng Hengkong nodded expressionlessly.
"Just for a hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal? Haha..." Looking at Feng Hengkong's appearance, Yun Che sneered: "Looking at you, do you never think there is anything wrong with what you do?"
"As far as the Blue Wind Kingdom is concerned, I really deserve to be punished by heaven. But I am the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix and the master of the Phoenix Sect!" Feng Hengkong raised his head and looked at Yun Che: "This hundred kilograms of purple veined divine crystal, to others,
, is just a huge resource, but for us who no longer have the ancestor Phoenix God, it is a life-saving straw! Today’s results indeed make me regret it... but my decision is not wrong!"
"Naive! Do you really think that a hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals can save your Divine Phoenix Sect after the news of Phoenix God's death is revealed?" Yun Che said coldly.
"...At least it will give us a little more power to protect Xue'er! As long as we can protect Xue'er for a hundred years, even if my entire sect dies completely, there is endless hope!" Feng Hengkong roared.
"Father, please stop talking!" Seeing Yun Che and Feng Hengkong's tit-for-tat confrontation again, Feng Xue'er hurriedly stood between them: "Father, no matter what the reason, so many innocent people died, and then
It was a huge mistake to let so many innocent people fall into trouble. Xue'er's Phoenix Soul awakened with the help of Brother Yun and can already protect our Divine Phoenix Sect. Father no longer needs to worry about Xue'er. Xue'er is now
I just hope that I can redeem the sins I have committed with my father, so that I can be forgiven by Blue Wind and Lord Phoenix God’s spirit in heaven.”
"Xue'er..." Feng Hengkong looked at his daughter, his eyes gradually becoming hazy.
"Speaking of which, when you asked Feng Xichen to go to Blue Wind Imperial City in person and send invitations to the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Tournament, it was just a pretense. The real purpose was to use my bloodline as the Divine Phoenix Prince to stir up disputes and start a war.
An excuse?" Yun Che asked sideways.
"Yes." Feng Hengkong did not deny it.
Yun Che continued: "After the war lasted for more than two years and the attention of the Four Holy Lands became less and less, you began to prepare to seize the amethyst ore. But when extracting the ore, even in extremely deep underground, there will inevitably be
It caused a huge noise. Therefore, the 200,000 troops transferred to Liuyun City bombarded the ground every day and pretended to use it as a training ground, which was a cover to cover up all this."
"...You are right." Feng Hengkong gave him a deep look. He had only mentioned the existence of the amethyst mine before, but Yun Che actually understood the cause, process and means of everything so thoroughly... What a thought.
fear.
"Then how much of your goal has been achieved now?" Yun Che asked coldly. He had never thought that the Liuyun City area where he had lived for more than ten years would actually hide a secret that made the Phoenix Sect spend a huge price.
Also get the amethyst mineral deposits.
The area around Liuyun City was empty and barren, with only some of the lowest-level mysterious beasts surviving. Before that, even if someone told him that there was a huge mine hidden there that could extract hundreds of kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals, he would not believe it.
"Ten percent."
"Ten percent!?" Feng Hengkong's words made Yun Che frown fiercely.
