Chapter 154: Mission
Feng Qing'er shook her head and said, "Father did hand over an important part of the Divine Wind Pavilion to Feng Jue, but it was not the back garden you thought, but the intelligence organization of the Divine Wind Pavilion. The kamikaze pavilion disciples in the intelligence organization are called dandelions, and as the top person in charge of the intelligence organization, they are naturally called gardeners. β
"Gardener? Dandelion? Fittingly, indeed. However, it seems that Uncle Feng has not decided to send me to the torture hall. Otherwise, it would not be the beautiful Senior Sister Qing'er who is talking to me now, but the rusty torture weapons that have sucked up countless blood. β
Feng Qing'er said: "Don't be poor here." Let me tell you, although my father did not send you to the Torture Hall as a guest, this matter is not so easy to uncover, after all, the three elders are not so easy to deal with. β
"What is Uncle Feng going to do with me and drive me out of the Kamikaze Pavilion? I couldn't ask for it, but I was still a little disappointed when I remembered that no one would bring me delicious food in the futureβof course, before leaving, if you were kind enough to give me the Ice Bi Extreme Peak Vine, that would be a different matter. β
Feng Qing'er said coldly: "Kamikaze Pavilion will not make a loss-making transaction, so it will not let you go until it drains your value." This time, in order for you to make up for your own measures, the Elders of the Kamikaze Pavilion have decided to send you to the Heavenly Oracle Empire to complete a mission. β
"Heavenly Oracle Empire, what is that place?" Twilight-kun rolled her eyes at the previous words and asked for the task ahead. He had never heard of the country.
"The Heavenly Oracle Empire is located in the southern region of the Eastern Continent, and it is a powerful medium-heavy dynasty, separated from the Kamikaze Pavilion by no more than two countries. It only takes four days to get there by taking the Daming Peacock. Feng Qing'er explained.
Twilight sneered and said, "How are those old men of the Council of Elders going to squeeze my value in the Heavenly Oracle Empire? β
Feng Qing'er seems to have gotten used to Twilight's cynicism. "There is an auction venue in Shenwen City, the capital of the Heavenly Oracle Empire, the Heavenly Oracle Auction. Seven days later, the Heavenly Oracle Auction will hold the largest auction of the year, and countless treasures of heaven and earth will inevitably appear. Judging from the auction list announced now, among the last few items in the finale, there will be dragon's blood. β
"Dragon's blood?" Twilight Jun was surprised.
Feng Qing'er nodded. "Dragon blood is an extremely precious thing in the entire human realm, and the Kamikaze Pavilion has long coveted it, so of course it won't miss this opportunity. So your mission is to successfully bring the dragon's blood back to the Kamikaze Pavilion from the Oracle Auction. β
Twilight said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a bid, it's not easy. The old men of the Kamikaze Pavilion have to give me a clear figure for how much they plan to contribute, so that I can have a ceiling on the price. When he saw Feng Qing'er's sly smile, his heart trembled, as if he sensed that something was wrong.
"Brother Twilight, I'm afraid you misunderstood what I meant. What I just said is: for you to successfully bring the dragon's blood back to the Kamikaze Pavilion from the Oracle Auction, as for how to successfully bring it back, it depends on your means. Whether it's an open auction, stealing behind your back, or that sentence, as long as you can smoothly bring the dragon's blood back to the Kamikaze Pavilion, you will be able to complete the task assigned by the Elders. One thing is certain, though, the Kamikaze Pavilion won't help you, that is...... You can't get a Dao Source Crystal to fund, it's all up to you. Feng Qing'er smiled as movingly as a rose, but the more beautiful the rose, the easier it was to prick her fingers, and Twilight Jun understood the meaning of this sentence now.
"That stinky old man is going to let me empty my gloves white wolf? What kind of shit mission is this. Besides, isn't that stupid peacock your beast? I can't control it at all, how can it take me to the Heavenly Oracle Empire? β
Feng Qing'er said: "Brother Dusk doesn't have to worry about this. You're not alone in heading to the Oracle Empire this time. Father and the Council of Elders have decided to send me and Kiyohide with you. β
Maku-kun shrugged noncommittally, "You've been sent to spy on me, right?" There's no need at all, and even if the mission doesn't succeed, I won't run away. Makujun smiled secretly in his heart: "Do the stinky old men think that I don't have enough Dao Source Crystals on me to bid for the auction, so I can only choose to come hard?" As long as it's a problem that can be solved with money, it's not a problem for me. Old man Feng, you miscalculated this time. β
Feng Qing'er's pink fist hit Mujun's head hard, and snorted softly: "It's not!" Our purpose is to bid on other rare treasures of heaven and earth, which are completely different from yours. He also winked mischievously at Maku-kun.
Mu Jun snorted coldly in his heart: "Looking at the stinky girl's appearance, I must also think that I have no money to bid, so I can only take risks when the time comes." Hmph, then I just can't do what you want, we'll see. β
"The people of the Kamikaze Pavilion are as hostile to Qingxiu as Feng Yong and look down on him? Why. Maku-kun lowered his head and asked with indifference in his words.
Feng Qing'er was silent, and finally squeezed out a few notes between her teeth and lips: "He doesn't deserve to enter the Divine Wind Pavilion at all, just because he is the illegitimate son of Feng Yuan Sheng." β
"Bastard?" Makujun gasped, "Senior Brother Qingxiu is the illegitimate son of Uncle Feng?" β
Feng Qing'er's face was cold, her eyes were full of endless resentment, but her tone was surprisingly calm: "Ten years ago, my mother was seriously ill, and her days are running out. At this time, his father suddenly left Kamikaze Pavilion and left his mother. A month after his mother's death, he returned to Kamikaze Pavilion with Feng Qingxiu, who was only five years old at the time, and announced Feng Qingxiu's identity to everyone. β
"In the Eastern Continent, bastards are the most despised, so he will never be accepted by everyone and truly integrate into the Kamikaze Pavilion."
Maku-kun raised his fist and soaked it in the moonlight. "I regret it now."
Feng Qing'er said: "Do you regret helping Feng Qingxiu come out? β
"That punch was too light, I should have shot harder." Maku-kun said lightly.
Feng Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Leave tomorrow, gather in front of Sansheng Gate, don't be late."
Maku-kun was the only one left in the Beast Control Square, and he slowly moved his gaze to the huge stone platform in the center, where the Kamikaze Pavilion had held its pavilion fights over the years. The dark stone platform was prominently clear in the moonlight, and the simple and rough stone slabs were covered with cracks, and the red blood stains accumulated over thousands of years were attached and hidden in the cracks, reflecting the moonlight, emitting a dazzling light like a jewel.
In a trance, the luster on the stone platform turned into a sharp sword and stabbed Maku-kun's eyes, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred. Suddenly, hundreds of fiery red beasts burned all over their bodies appeared on the stone platform, including huge mammoths, giant bears born with two horns, eagle kings with snow-white wings, saber-toothed tigers with hideous fangs, and black-scaled pythons hundreds of feet long...... For a time, the roar of tigers, wolves, phoenixes, and birds shook the sky. They fight each other and roar at each other. Broken wings wriggled, torn limbs sprinkled with blood, more and more corpses were killed, blood-red flames grew stronger, and splashes of blood danced like ghosts in the moonlight and the magic song of flames.
The flurry of demons has begun......
In front of Sansheng Gate, Feng Yuansheng personally came to see them off. "Twilight boy, Uncle is also very difficult, but there is no way to make this decision, but I believe that you will successfully complete the task." Looking at Feng Yuan Sheng's face, there was a little difficulty in realizing it.
Twilight rolled her eyes, "Uncle Feng, don't worry." Not only will I bring back the dragon's blood, but I will surely be followed by countless 'guests', and you will definitely entertain them when the time comes." β
Feng Yuansheng smiled, "As long as you can bring back the dragon's blood, others are not a problem at all. For thousands of years, only the Kamikaze Pavilion has robbed other people's shares, and no one has dared to ask for something from the Kamikaze Pavilion. β
Dusk Jun hurriedly jumped on Qingdai's back, he was afraid that he would be unable to help but fight with him if he continued to talk to Feng Yuansheng. Qing Dai was obviously very unhappy with Twilight Jun jumping on her back first, and showed him a vicious look, only to find that Twilight Jun was looking at her with a smiling expression.
"Stupid bird, don't mess with the master, otherwise we'll settle the account you owe in the dimensional space. I've never eaten peacock meat before, and I don't know what it tastes like with a special sauce barbecue made by Uncle Xi (the chef who cooks for Dusk every day). β
The feathers on Qing Dai's body trembled with fear, and she quickly turned her head and looked into the distance motionlessly.
Feng Qing'er and Feng Qingxiu also jumped up after talking with Feng Yuansheng for a while. After a crisp chirp, Qing Dai spread her wings and soared away, heading towards the Heavenly Oracle Empire.
Looking at their disappearing figures, Feng Yuansheng showed an indescribable smile.
Heavenly Oracle Empire, near the sky of Shenwen City.
After four days of continuous flights, the three of them finally arrived at the kingdom of the Heavenly Oracle Empire, Shenwen City. However, dozens of miles away from Shenwen City, the three of them were intercepted by the city guards. According to one of the guards, a few months ago, revolutionary armies had appeared in four cities and counties in the empire and staged a coup d'Γ©tat. Although it has not yet affected Shenwen City, in order to ensure safety, the royal family has issued a royal decree prohibiting any fierce birds from flying over Shenwen City.
After confirming their identities, the three of them entered Shenwen City under the escort of the guards, while Qingdai could only stay in the dense forest outside the city temporarily.
As soon as he entered Shenwen Castle, Maku-kun was shocked by the prosperity in front of him. There is a bluestone road connected to the city gate, and there is no end in sight. It is flanked by bustling and crowded trade bazaars, which sell not only local specialties but also exotic goods.
Obviously, Feng Qing'er was not the first time to come to Shenwen City, and under her leadership, the three of them passed through the dense crowd and turned into a relatively secluded alley. After walking through the alley for about a quarter of an hour, a huge red ancient building appeared in the eyes of everyone.
There is a huge plaque above the gate of the ancient building, which is painted with gold wire and painted with three big characters - Zhu Tianlou. On both sides of the gate stood dozens of graceful and weak girls, their skirts swaying gently in the breeze. A carpet made of hundreds of red crystal marten mink fluffs is laid in the middle of the road, and stepping on it is like walking in the waves.
On the side of the sandalwood door stood an old man with fairy wind bones, and when he saw the three people approaching, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him. "Miss Qing'er, I came from afar but couldn't meet her, I hope don't be surprised."
"Uncle Tan doesn't have to be polite." Feng Qing'er obviously knew the old man.
Tan Fuyun said, "Didn't the Wind Pavilion Lord come with Miss Qing'er?" β
Feng Qing'er shook her head and said, "Qing'er went to Shenwen City this time, mainly to participate in the Heavenly Oracle Auction three days later, and only brought two junior disciples here, and my father didn't go along. β
"The room is ready for you, please come in." Tan Fuyun said extremely respectfully.
The room for three people is on the fourth floor. On the way, Feng Qing'er explained that this Zhu Tianlou was the most luxurious place to live in the entire Heavenly Oracle Empire, and it was ordered and personally supervised by the current emperor's elder brother, that is, the previous emperor, Jiang Buregret, and it could be described as extremely poor and luxurious. Over the years, Kamikaze Pavilion has chosen to stay here when participating in the Heavenly Oracle Auction, which has become a habit. And Zhu Tianlou was of course very willing to entertain the disciples of the Divine Wind Pavilion, after all, being able to have the opportunity to be kind to the Eight Great Sacred Domains was something that every force dreamed of.
While passing the stairs leading to the third floor, a small episode occurred. Two young men in their twenties came on, and because of the narrow stairs, the young man in yellow robe on the left side accidentally collided with Twilight's shoulder. The yellow-robed young man's face turned red instantly, and he immediately covered the shoulders of the collision, and inhaled the cold air, as if he had been greatly hurt.
The young man in the dark green robe beside him hurriedly helped his body and asked aloud, "Are you okay?" The yellow-robed young man shook his head reluctantly.
Twilight was about to apologize, but he didn't expect the other party to ignore them at all and slowly walked downstairs. Twilight's eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart, and the sleeves of the yellow-robed boy's battered arms seemed to be dyed red by something. When he inadvertently looked at the ground, he noticed two drops of dark black liquid on the steps where the yellow-robed young man was standing just now. He dipped a drop in his thumb and sniffed it in front of his nose to confirm that it was blood. "It seems that he wrapped the cuffs with holy qi at the first time so that the blood would not flow down, but he still ignored the first two drops."
Feng Qingxiu said: "That person is a little strange, Senior Brother Twilight was injured by him just lightly touched, so that it reached the level of bleeding, does he really have such a fragile physique?" β
Feng Qing'er shook her head and said, "No, that person must have been seriously injured and has not healed yet, but when Dusk Jun collided, he pulled the wound again, causing the wound to recur, not because of his physique." β
With a wave of his hand, the blood on the stairs vanished. What Feng Qing'er said was exactly what he thought.
After the three of them returned to their respective rooms to rest for a while, they gathered in Feng Qing'er's room.
"This Flame Dance Black Tea is a very famous specialty of the Heavenly Oracle Empire, and after drinking this tea, you will feel as if there is a flame dancing in your mouth." Feng Qing'er filled the three teacups, and after Dusk Jun picked up one of them and drank it all, his face suddenly turned ugly, and after swallowing hard, he coughed violently. "Is this tea? It's obviously medicine, why is it so bitter? β
Feng Qing'er slowly drank the black tea in the cup and smiled: "When you taste the dragon's blood, you will know what kind of upper limit the bitterness can reachβof course, if you can get it." That's right, Brother Twilight! β
