Just as Huo Li left, a demon beast that had reached the Beast King level came towards Zhang Yifeng. He bowed first and then asked.
"Dragon Protector, now that you have gone to deal with other matters, do you think we should continue?"
Zhang Yifeng looked at this Demon King-level demon beast and couldn't help but sigh. If these demon beasts continue to be slaughtered like this, there probably won't be many left, but those selected will definitely be strong ones.
Whether from the perspective of a human monk or from a neutral perspective, Zhang Yifeng felt that this situation could not continue.
"Okay, didn't you hear what my lord said just now? Now that the foreign enemy is coming to Star Dou Forest, all of you go and prepare. As for the things here, let's put it aside for now. The rest of you will follow the lord's previous instructions to destroy the barrier.
.”
"In addition, I have one thing to remind you. Your life is your own. It is important to destroy the barrier, but every serious injury must be withdrawn. You cannot ignore your own life."
After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, all the monsters had tears in their eyes.
If Huo Li was not so powerful, these monster beasts would definitely recommend Zhang Yifeng as their leader. After all, under Zhang Yifeng's leadership, they can move towards a better future.
At the very least, Zhang Yifeng did not regard them as tools, but as real partners, asking them to cherish their lives.
Although it may be much slower than Huoli, it can maintain the strength of the monster to the maximum extent.
Naturally, they also listened to Zhang Yifeng's suggestion. After all, now that Huo Li was away, Zhang Yifeng was their leader.
"Why are you still standing there? I told you that there is a foreign enemy now, why don't you hurry up and prepare. And don't be suspicious. You must swear allegiance to my lord to the death."
For the sake of time, Zhang Yifeng did not intend to drag on here any longer. He roared at the monsters, and these monsters dispersed one after another as if they had heard the death order.
The moment Huo Li caught him just now, Zhang Yifeng knew how strong this guy was. Although he had only recovered less than half of his strength now, he should have reached the level of a strong person at the eighth or ninth level of the Tribulation Stage.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yifeng is now very worried about the situation of the fairy in the spiritual realm.
Although it is said that the spirit realm fairy is now an eighth-level powerhouse in the Tribulation Stage, in addition to Huoli, there are three monster beasts at the level of the Great Beast King on this side. It is not known how strong they are.
"Master, tell me the truth, do you know my true identity and who am I?"
At this time, Hong Ling suddenly spoke, her eyes firm.
Zhang Yifeng let out a long sigh. He had never thought of hiding this matter from Hong Ling. It would be better to confess now than Hong Ling finding out later.
You must know that Hong Ling's predecessor was the Nine Heavens Goddess. If one day she regains her memory and finds out that she kept it secret, what will be the consequences?
"I only guessed your identity recently. You are the Nine Heavens Goddess. All these monsters were imprisoned by you, and the entire Youzhou was under your rule before."
After hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Hong Ling began to think about it, and then suddenly saw Hong Ling kneeling on the ground, covering her head and shouting.
"It's not me, she's not me, she's not me!"
Zhang Yifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help Hong Ling up. Firstly, he was worried that Hong Ling would not be able to bear it, and secondly, he was afraid that Hong Ling would not be able to bear the pain and cry.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Hong Ling raised her head and looked at Zhang Yifeng, her eyes dim.
"Master, the current situation in Youzhou is all caused by me. I started slavery. I made people start to divide into different classes. I am the culprit."
"I killed a lot of people, a lot."
From what Hong Ling said, she must have remembered something, but isn't it only possible for corpse monsters to restore memory?
Hong Ling advanced?!
Shaking his head, Zhang Yifeng hurriedly comforted him.
"I know everything that happened before. I really don't blame you. You were forced by the situation and had to do this. If not, Youzhou would probably be ruled by monsters now.
"Hong Ling, you are a hero. Everyone thinks you are a hero."
Zhang Yifeng's mood also became excited. Hong Ling and he had fought side by side for so long, and they had some feelings for each other.
In addition, Hong Ling is likely to cry at any time, so how could Zhang Yifeng not be nervous.
"Really."
Seeing that Hong Ling had calmed down, Zhang Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said.
"Yes, what I said is true. I promised you before that I would find out your true identity and let you recover the past. I have done it now, and your status is very high. You are also a senior after all. You
You don’t have to follow me anymore, you are free from today. But you have to promise me not to cry before you are reborn."
Zhang Yifeng said such a sentence, although he knew that if he terminated the master-servant relationship with Hong Ling now, he would probably be in danger.
But now Hong Ling knows who he is and has remembered some of the past things. As for the future memories, he will slowly wake up.
Even if Hong Ling is particularly needed now, Zhang Yifeng has to do this.
"No, I won't leave. I am not the Nine Heavens Goddess. I am Hong Ling. I will be Hong Ling all my life. No matter who I was before, I only know that my name is Hong Ling now. My master's name is Zhang Yifeng. Wherever the master is, I will be there.
where."
Hearing this answer, Zhang Yifeng felt warm in his heart. To be honest, he was quite relieved. He originally wanted to have a good chat with Hong Ling, but now time was running out and he only had an hour.
Zhang Yifeng didn't know how to deal with Huo Li before, but now that he has a perfect plan, he is still worried that his master will not be able to hold on.
"Okay, now that you've made your decision, go back quickly. I'm going to take care of that guy's lair now."
Hong Ling nodded heavily, smiled and disappeared.
After Hong Ling left, Zhang Yifeng took out the token that Huo Li had given him before, and then injected spiritual power into it.
Suddenly, Zhang Yifeng felt his eyes go dark, as if he was traveling through time and space. When his eyes brightened again, he came to a cave.
A barrier has been set up around the cave. It is impossible for ordinary people to break through this barrier, and it is impossible for monsters to break in.
Seeing the evil energy exuding in this cave, Zhang Yifeng knew that this should be Huo Li's lair. Not to mention, Huo Li was still a bit smart, and the spiritual energy here was obviously much better than that in other parts of the forest.
Time passed by, and Zhang Yifeng had no time to think. He took steps towards the entrance of the cave.
Just as he entered the cave entrance, a voice suddenly came out.
"Who is coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yifeng felt difficulty breathing. A strong sense of oppression made it impossible for Zhang Yifeng to breathe at all.
