To celebrate the recovery of the Xiao family's fiefdom, celebration banquets were held in all major cities, and the celebration banquet in the Xiao Mansion was the most lively. There were people drinking and laughing inside and outside the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Nanfeng even invited Hong Lie to a banquet. However, Hong Lie's banquet was only accompanied by Xiao Nanfeng. The two of them drank in a hall and reminisced about the past.
"Nan Feng, where is your little wife? Why didn't you see her show up today?" Hong Lie said with a smile.
"Uncle Master, Xiaoyu and I haven't reached that stage yet." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Hahaha, I knew you had this in mind," Hong Lie teased.
Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly. He felt that Hong Lie was extremely sincere to him and was very open about joking.
"Xiaoyu has been in seclusion recently, and she is preparing to attack the realm of immortals." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Hong Lie's expression changed, and then he sighed: "You are so brave. You actually attacked the six immortal sects secretly. It's just your luck that you succeeded. Do you know the consequences of failure? If they were alert, the six
You can’t even break through the Daxianmen’s island defense formation.”
"I knew they would be lax, so I didn't delay at all and rushed between the six immortal gates. Fortunately, I succeeded. This can also be regarded as improving their memory. When the gate opens, don't let it be because they are acquaintances.
To save face, I won’t review things brought back by acquaintances." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
"What about your place? The censorship of your large formation outside Yongding City is not strict. It's easy to sneak in. Aren't you worried that they will follow your example?" Hong Lie asked.
"What are you reviewing? I won't open the formations in Yongding City unless necessary. I am different from the major immortal sects. They are afraid of people attacking them, but I welcome all the major immortal sects to attack me. I will not reject anyone who comes, no matter how many come.
, I will kill as many as you want. Anyone who offends my Xiao family will use the sect's dragon veins to make amends." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
Hong Lie looked strange for a while: "You and your father are so similar, both are so crazy. You attacked the six immortal sects this time. Aren't you afraid that they will unite to retaliate against you?"
"You are not arrogant. I am still young, so it is normal for me to be angry. As for the six great immortal sects, they are just local chickens and dogs." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Hong Lie immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you going to make everyone in the six immortal sects angry to death with your words?"
"I have uncle Shi to protect me, so they don't dare to mess around." Xiao Nanfeng joked.
"You kid, please don't flatter me. I don't have time to wipe your ass. If they form an alliance to attack you and I'm not around, you will suffer." Hong Lie said with a smile.
"No, if I delay, my uncle will come to the rescue." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
Hong Lie rolled his eyes.
"Uncle Master, don't worry. Even if the six immortal sects form an alliance, I'm not afraid now." Xiao Nanfeng said confidently.
Hong Lie's expression changed and he said: "Apart from Xiaoyu who has reached the peak of the Ascension Realm, is there anyone else who has also reached the peak of the Ascension Realm?"
"Gugu and Gaga are also here. They are both in retreat and will become immortals soon." Xiao Nanfeng nodded and smiled.
Hong Lie shook his head and said, "Becoming an immortal? It's not easy. The distance between immortals and mortals is like the distance between heaven and earth. If I hadn't been blessed in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, I wouldn't have become an immortal."
"It all depends on human effort." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"You don't believe it? Then try it!" Hong Lie laughed, and then he sighed: "Although you offended the six immortal sects this time, you added dozens of elders to the Taiqing Immortal Sect at once.
There are also four Ascension Realm elders, which have almost brought the overall strength of Taiqing Immortal Sect to a big level. They have really contributed a lot to the sect. If Ku Jiang knew about it, he would be extremely pleased."
"Then wait until Master comes back from the secret realm and give him a surprise." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
"When you came to become a disciple of the Taiqing Immortal Sect, why didn't you come to me first? Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten a big advantage from Kujiang." Hong Lie said with a smile.
"Uncle Master and my father are close friends of life and death. Our relationship is already deep enough. There is no need to recognize another master-disciple relationship. Uncle Master, with your blessing, everything can go well for me during this period. I know that Uncle Master is in Wushen
Although the Hou fiefdom has recruited a lot of people, the details of those people are still unclear, which makes it difficult for them to use them. I have asked Ye Sanshui and Ye Dafu to start reorganizing the army, and asked Mr. Zheng to mobilize a large number of civilian officials to enter Wuhan from now on.
The land of the Marquis of God is at the disposal of Uncle Master." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Okay, now that your fiefdom has been stabilized, I won't be polite to you anymore. The Wushenhou fiefdom is really a mess. If your people come to help me, it will definitely save me a lot of worry." Hong Lie said with satisfaction.
.
"Uncle Master, I got news that several immortals from the Xiang family have appeared before, but they have never personally participated in the battle to restore the country. Also, I heard that they brought back more than one crow immortal from the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
, a large number of crow demons have disappeared. Do you know why?" Xiao Nanfeng asked curiously.
"If my guess is correct, they should be looking for something to restrain the shadow evil." Hong Lie analyzed.
"oh?"
"Restore the country? For the Xiang family, there is no rush. They should want to get all the creations in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. There are a lot of shadow evil creatures in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm to protect the creation of the secret realm. If they want to seize the creation, they must restrain the shadows.
Evil things." Hong Lie explained.
"No wonder." Xiao Nanfeng nodded.
"After I wipe out the rebels in Wushenhou's fiefdom, I will take you to the Demon Emperor's secret realm to fight for good fortune." Hong Lie said firmly.
"Isn't the entrance to the Demon Emperor's secret realm in the hands of the Tianshu Human Emperor? Will he let me in?" Xiao Nanfeng asked worriedly.
"Why didn't he let it go? The entrance to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm was discovered by your father first. Without your father, how could he have obtained the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm?" Hong Lie took a sip of wine and said.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Xiao Nanfeng had no hope.
"No matter what, I won't give up the military merits of wiping out the rebel army this time. I will definitely protect you from entering the Demon Emperor's secret realm." Hong Lie said solemnly.
"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Nanfeng raised a glass to Hong Lie.
He felt Hong Lie's care for him, felt warm in his heart, and was filled with emotion. His father regarded Hong Lie as a close friend of life and death, and he was indeed right.
Xiao Nanfeng and Hong Lie drank countless glasses of wine and talked for a long time.
After sending Hong Lie away, the Xiao family fiefdom gradually returned to peace.
Two months later, in the small courtyard of Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Nanfeng grabbed his father's seal. The luck his father left him had been completely consumed. All of it was consumed by him in deeply understanding various Taoist scriptures, which also promoted his two soul-refining techniques.
There are signs of breakthrough. However, it is still not enough.
Fortunately, after the Xiao family's fiefdom was recovered, the people were in the same governance environment as Yongding City, and they all expressed their gratitude to Xiao Nanfeng. The thoughts of gratitude turned into wisps of luck, gathered in this seal, allowing Xiao Nanfeng to
Continuing to wash away his karma, he believed that within a few months, he would be able to refine the Yin Shen.
At this moment, Zheng Qian hurriedly walked over.
"King Xiao, there is a new war situation in the Wushenhou fiefdom. News just came that Xiang Pojun has returned." Zheng Qian handed over a secret letter.
"Oh?" Xiao Nanfeng took the secret letter curiously.
"There are so many rebels in Wushenhou's fiefdom. It is extremely difficult for Ye Dafu, Ye Sanshui and others to lead troops there. For more than two months, our army and the rebels have actually fought evenly, with many casualties. .Xiang Pojun actually challenged Hong Lie at this time." Zheng Qian said.
"Xiang Pojun? He is the defeated general of Uncle Master. He actually challenged Uncle Master? There must be something wrong." Xiao Nanfeng frowned and thought.
"It's a pity that the results of the battle haven't been received yet. I guess they should arrive tonight." Zheng Qian said.
At this moment, a stream of light flew into Xiao Nanfeng's small courtyard in the distance, and landed with a bang. A large number of guards in the Xiao Mansion jumped up in surprise. Only when they saw that it was Ye Dafu, did everyone relax.
"Prince Xiao, it's not good, Lord Honglie died in battle." Ye Dafu said anxiously.
"What?" Zheng Qian screamed from the side.
"Tell me again, who died in the battle?" Xiao Nanfeng's hair suddenly stood on end.
"Hong Lie, Hong Lie, the leader of Huangmai Maid, is dead. He died in the hands of Xiang Pojun." Ye Dafu said in panic.
"Impossible, my uncle is so powerful that he once defeated Xiang Pojun. How could he be dead? You must be lying?" Xiao Nanfeng shouted in shock.
"It's true. This morning, Xiang Pojun suddenly appeared in the sky above our city, saying that he wanted to challenge Hong Lie and wash away the shame of his defeat. At that time, Hong Lie didn't care. He jumped into the air and fought with him. The two of them were high in the sky. The battle was extremely fierce, with flames everywhere and storms rolling wildly. We couldn't see their movements clearly. They fought farther and farther away. We sent people back to deliver the message and followed to watch the battle. However, in the afternoon, there was an explosion in the sky, and two people were fighting. The flames suddenly separated, and Xiang Pojun vomited blood and flew out upside down. We thought Xiang Pojun was defeated miserably, but before we had time to cheer, we saw that Hong Lie also suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground." Ye Dafu said.
"Then what?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.
"Xiang Pojun was rescued by a group of monks in the rebel army. We also protected Hong Lie's side, but we saw that there were blood holes on the back of Hong Lie's head that were constantly bleeding. When we stepped forward, he Suddenly he fell straight down, the colorful light around him collapsed, his eyes were hollow and he had no breath." Ye Dafu said.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Nanfeng said in horror.
"A little golden light flashed faintly in the center of Hong Lie's eyebrows, and the words condensed into fonts, which read, 'Take me back to the sect and let Xiao Nanfeng come back.' The third uncle and others escorted Hong Lie's body back to Taiqing Island with all their strength. "Third uncle asked me to inform Prince Xiao." Ye Dafu said.
Xiao Nanfeng felt a chill all over his body. Two months ago, Hong Lie had a drink with him and had a pleasant conversation. Their conversation was full of jokes and care. It had only been two months, how could Hong Lie be dead?
"Ye Dafu, have you seen clearly? Hong Lie might just be seriously injured." Zheng Qian said anxiously.
Ye Dafu shook his head at Zheng Qian and did not explain further. Obviously, in his opinion, Hong Lie was really dead.
"Prince Xiao, Hong Lie is dead, but it seems that there are still some true spirits that have not been extinguished. He may come back to see you again. He wants to see you for the last time." Ye Dafu said.
"Let's go back to the clan!" Xiao Nanfeng said anxiously.
