Seeing that something was not good, Wei Hu couldn't help but frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mu, they won't regret it, right? I see some bad looks in their eyes."
Mu Feng was not sure, so he could only say slowly: "Probably not. Even if the guards are shameless, there should be limits. We are all here, so we can't be allowed to go back!"
In this trial, the guards did behave shamelessly and were proud of it. They formed a group to attack the monks participating in the selection, set strict time limits, and even took away everything they had on them.
This is to see if these monks can find a way out in desperate situations. Only qualified people are eligible to join the guards.
Those who can come to participate in the selection have already been carefully selected and are absolutely trustworthy. Now it is just a matter of testing their faith and ability.
When the empress heard the news that Mu Feng had arrived at the stronghold, she couldn't help being stunned, and she became a little angry: "What a waste, so many people can't look down on such a little Mu Feng? You have the nerve to say that you are the best in the Xuanji Kingdom.
Elite troops!"
"Well, since they have arrived at the stronghold, they have passed according to the rules of the guards. Let's let him go this time and bring him to see me!"
After receiving the order, Nan Li returned to Mu Feng and Wei Hu.
Wei Hu was very worried. Most of the credit for him being able to get here so quickly belonged to Mu Feng. Only at the last moment did he show off his strength.
After a while, Nan Li slowly said: "You have passed the trial, just wait for others to arrive here."
"Phew, I was scared to death." Wei Hu patted his chest, and then waved to the other guards, "My lords, we will be colleagues from now on, please help me!"
Everyone else turned away, not wanting to look at them. After all, they joined the guards so easily, which was just a slap in the face of these guards.
"Mufeng, come with me, the empress wants to see you."
Mu Feng's heart moved, and then he nodded, thinking that he had finally waited for this moment. The empress could see him directly, so she insisted on doing these things.
Nan Li grabbed his shoulder, then flew up and flew through the air. He soon left this small world and arrived in front of the palace gate.
The golden mask did not cause any hindrance to them, as if the mask was just a decoration, but if someone was hostile to the empress, the formation would show its fierce side!
They passed through the grand gate, walked along the long and wide road, and walked through thousands of winding corridors and palaces, and finally arrived at the place where the empress was.
This is a study room, and the surrounding environment is very quiet. It is suitable for reading, and there is a garden next to it, which is full of sycamore trees.
These sycamore trees are very tall and look very old. Legend has it that the phoenix only inhabits the thousand-year-old sycamore trees.
Along the way, Mu Feng could notice that there were many masters hiding in the palace. Even he could only vaguely notice that there were people, but he could not determine their location.
Nan Li asked him to wait outside the door and entered the study alone. Mu Feng was attracted by the sycamore trees. He vaguely felt that the empress planted so many sycamore trees here not just for appreciation.
"Your Majesty, Mu Feng is here." Nan Li lowered his head and entered the study, while the empress was sitting there watching some kind of mental technique, and there was a faint vision emerging behind her.
As the only empress of the Xuanji Kingdom, her talent is astonishing, and she is good at integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and has outstanding talents.
"I know, let him wait outside. This person lacks awe of divine power, and he just has the energy to kill him." The empress said calmly without raising her head.
Nan Li did not dare to disturb the empress, so he could only stand aside quietly, not daring to express his anger.
After a while, the empress asked him to ask Mu Feng to come in, but when he went out, he found that Mu Feng was no longer at the door.
"Huh? Where did this guy go?" Nan Li's eyes widened and he thought something was wrong.
There are many restrictions in the palace, and there are extremely powerful forbidden techniques everywhere. If you accidentally touch them, you are in danger of falling.
So he hurried into the study and reported the matter.
After the empress heard this, she almost laughed out of anger. Originally, she wanted to kill Mu Feng's vigor, but Mu Feng didn't accept this at all.
She found that the previous methods of controlling people were completely ineffective against Mu Feng, and she felt as if she had been punched in cotton.
"Let someone look for him. He has just arrived and we can't let him die in the palace!"
Nan Li quickly retreated and was about to send someone to look for him when he turned around and accidentally saw Mu Feng standing under the sycamore trees, slowly walking towards him.
The most shocking thing was that on Mu Feng's shoulder, there was a little bird standing. The tail feathers were very long, the feathers on the body were also very gorgeous, and the whole body exuded a noble temperament.
"That's...Phoenix?"
Nan Li was almost frightened and sat down on the ground.
Mu Feng entered the sycamore forest and found that this place was really
There is a phoenix!
The legendary creature appeared vividly in front of his eyes, giving him an unreal feeling.
The phoenix is a divine creature as famous as the real dragon. It is a divine beast that transcends gods and demons.
True dragons have been extinct for many years, and now many powerful gods and demons have true dragon blood in their bodies. This is because true dragons are lustful by nature and will mess around with other gods and demons, leaving behind many dragon species.
The blood dragon slough that Mu Feng absorbed before contained pure dragon blood.
Although the phoenix is as famous as the real dragon, it never messes around, so its bloodline is rarely spread.
Mu Feng never imagined that there was actually a legendary beast in the palace, and it appeared right in front of him.
Because he had practiced the Hongmeng Heavenly Way, he had a special aura about him, and this aura made Phoenix feel differently towards him.
In addition, he has absorbed the blood of a true dragon and has the aura of the same divine beast.
Therefore, this little phoenix took the initiative to land on Mu Feng and seemed very intimate.
In the past, Fenghuang was polite to everyone, and even the empress found it difficult for Fenghuang to take a high look, but now Fenghuang actually took the initiative to fall on Mu Feng, which shocked Nan Li.
But he also knew that the phoenix was the empress's most precious thing and could not be damaged in any way, so he hurried forward and said coldly: "Mu Feng, you are so bold. You can also move this phoenix?"
At this time, the Queen's voice came from the study: "Let him come in!"
Nan Li sighed and whispered: "Be careful, there are restrictions everywhere in the palace, and this phoenix is also extremely powerful. If it is hostile to you, you might be dead!"
Mu Feng nodded and walked directly into the study. After many years, he finally saw the magnificent empress again.
No matter how many times I see her, the empress's noble temperament can always shock people's hearts, and her breathtaking beauty does not dare to make people feel a trace of blasphemy.
This time the empress did not wear imperial robes, but wore casual clothes, which made people feel that she was not so out of reach.
"I've met the Empress." Mu Feng just bowed slightly and saluted, without much awe.
Nan Li suddenly stared: "How dare you not kneel down when you see the empress?"
Mu Feng stood there with a steely tone and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Kneel down on the ground, kneel on the ground, and kneel on the ground in the middle, my parents and elders. I have never knelt down to anyone else, and I don't plan to do so in the future."
This attitude immediately made Nan Li furious. Already.
But the empress didn't seem to care. She waved her hand and let Nan Li leave the study.
Then, she stood up and walked slowly in front of Mu Feng. Although she deliberately restrained her breath, the oppressive feeling still made Mu Feng feel a little heavy.
"This little guy usually doesn't get close to people. Why does he seem so friendly to you now? What methods did you use?" asked the empress.
Mu Feng slowly shook his head and said: "Sometimes it is better to let nature take its course than to use means. Maybe the Phoenix is more pleasing to me, but after all, this is His Majesty's thing, and I will let it go back later."
The empress waved her hand and said very grandly: "Staying here is like being locked in a birdcage. If you are willing to leave with you, it is also a good thing, so I will give it to you!"
Mu Feng was surprised: "The Empress doesn't regret it? I think among those sycamore trees, this is the only phoenix."
The empress smiled proudly and said: "This emperor is as good as his words. He is just a phoenix. Although it is precious, it is just a beast. Just give it away and you will never regret it."
Mu Feng now has some respect for the empress. After all, there is only one phoenix in the entire Xuanji Kingdom, and even among all the middle kingdoms!
One can imagine how precious it is, and now it was given to him casually.
"Your Majesty, the reason I came here is to ask your Majesty to help investigate my wife's affairs. When your Majesty was able to ascend the throne, it was probably my teacher who helped me."
The empress nodded slowly and said: "Of course I know, I will always remember this kindness. Do you think you are the only one who cares about the safety of the master? I have also been looking for the whereabouts of the master."
"Really?" Mu Feng was delighted, "Wutian's headquarters is on the Jueming Sea, and Master was set up by them."
"Of course I know this. You don't need to remind me. The Kewutian organization is very mysterious. It is not easy to find them."
Mu Feng said quickly: "If this is the case, I want to go find it with the people sent by the empress to investigate. I have been to the Jueming Sea and have dealt with Wutian people!"
The empress shook her head and refused: "Someone will do this. You are my guard now. I know how to arrange it. You can stay here for now."
Mu Feng wanted to say something else, but the empress waved her hand to ask him to step back.
"Go ahead, after joining the Guards, there will be a lot of things to do, and you will become very busy!"
"Also, don't think about leaving. I will help you investigate the whereabouts of your teacher. The price you have to pay is to stay in my guard!"
