Chapter 323: The Real Mission
In a spacious room, when Yi Feng followed the middle-aged man in, he found that the veiled woman was already sitting at the table.
Although through the veil, Yi Feng still clearly felt her sadness.
That's right, that kind of mournful look reveals endless sadness.
"Everyone, please be seated. The middle-aged man said.
The purple-robed man sat on the chair, looked at the veiled woman, and said, "Isn't it just hunting an injured spirit beast? β
The expressions of the others were also a little unnatural, and such a mysterious atmosphere made them feel uncomfortable.
"Uncle Yan, let me explain. The veiled woman said quietly.
"Actually, this mission is not to hunt injured spirit beasts. The woman raised her head slightly, looking at the crowd.
"What the hell, fool us!" the man in the white robe was a little annoyed.
"It's not to play tricks on you, although it's not to hunt injured spirit beasts, but I do have a task to find you. Next, I will talk about the real task this time, of course, whether you choose to accept it or not, it is up to everyone's wishes. β
The woman stood up slowly, and the shredded sunlight through the window rippled around her, adding to the taste of holiness for the woman.
With her somewhat sad eyes, it makes people have the urge to protect.
"This time, I summoned the martial artists above the Earth Spirit Realm, and I only wanted to do one thing, go to the Purple Cloud Empire and kill the auxiliary marshal!"
Yi Feng was a little surprised, this woman was too generous, and the auxiliary marshal of an empire had summoned so many strong people.
According to Yi Feng's imagination, the power that this woman has gathered now is probably enough to destroy the Purple Cloud Empire.
"It seems that the rumors of the Purple Cloud Empire's changes are true. The dark-skinned woman said.
"What rumors?" the others were a little curious.
The woman glanced at her employer and saw that she had no intention of stopping her, so she said slowly: "It is rumored that Chen Tong, the auxiliary marshal of the Purple Cloud Empire, staged a coup d'Γ©tat, relying on a powerful force to control the royal family of the Purple Cloud Empire, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the Purple Cloud Empire. β
"But I heard that the Empress of the Purple Cloud Empire escaped from the palace. The dark-skinned woman looked at the veiled woman lightly.
The majestic middle-aged man suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum, and the eyes that looked at the woman became cold.
"Uncle Yan, it's okay. The veiled woman stopped.
She slowly took off her veil, revealing a delicate face, with a high nose, especially those autumn-like eyes, which were very charming.
It's just that this delicate face is a little incongruous, and the delicate face has a scar that spreads to the white neck.
It's like a hole in delicate porcelain that has been cut, which is regrettable.
"I am Zhou Lingtong, I am indeed the queen of the Purple Cloud Empire, if I complete this mission, I can pay each person a reward of 100 million gold coins!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Yi Feng took a breath of cold air, 100 million gold coins, but they were able to buy ground-level exercises!
"But this mission is going to be dangerous, what do you think? I don't have much time. Zhou Lingtong said slowly.
Including the woman with some dark skin, they all groaned, they naturally knew that killing an auxiliary marshal of an empire, such a seemingly simple task, would inevitably hide a certain danger, otherwise they would not have paid such a high commission under so many strong people.
"I accept. Yi Feng almost didn't think much about it, and just spoke.
Out of his friendship with Mu Lingshuang, the Purple Cloud Empire was really in trouble, and he naturally wanted to help when he met someone.
"Okay, we'll accept it too!" the other four agreed, after a moment of silence.
Zhou Lingtong was also happy, and directly paid a deposit of 5,000 gold coins, and the other half of the gold coins will be sent when the task is completed.
When they got the gold coins, their spirits were uplifted, and the amount of gold coins was not a small amount for them.
"Thank you!" Zhou Lingtong bowed slightly, although she is the queen of a country, she does not have the slightest shelf.
A group of seven people bought the best horses from the town and headed for the Purple Cloud Empire.
On the way, Yi Feng also met other people, the somewhat dignified middle-aged man was called Yan Mu, who was a guard of the royal family of the Purple Cloud Empire, and he was the one who desperately brought Zhou Lingtong out.
In the recruited team, the purple-robed man was called Liu Yang, a high-level strength of the Earth Spirit Realm.
The other three are Wu Zai, Lu Chengming and Yu Jin.
Wu Zai and Lu Chengming are also high-level strength in the Earth Spirit Realm.
Yu Jin is the woman with a little dark skin, the strength of the low-level of the Earth Spirit Realm.
On the way, they also learned about Chen Tong's situation from Yan Mu.
There are also five powerhouses of the Earth Spirit Realm, four of them are high-level, and one is of the low-level Earth Spirit Realm.
Yi Feng was a little surprised, even his Mufeng Pavilion did not have so many Earth Spirit Realm powerhouses, where did this Chen Tong find so many powerhouses, and he was willing to help him.
"I think it's better to replace that genius young master, he is a low-level martial artist in the Earth Spirit Realm, and it can only be a burden to go. After listening to Yan Mu's words, Liu Ming looked at Yi Feng with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
"What do you mean I'm also a burden?" Yu Jin's willow eyebrows furrowed, glaring at Liu Ming.
"How come, I said that you are not, that low-level martial artist of the Earth Spirit Realm will definitely not be your opponent!" Liu Ming said with a smile.
Yi Feng was too lazy to worry about Liu Ming, with his current strength, he really couldn't afford to have any quarrels with someone like Liu Ming.
He cast a grateful look at Yu Jin, and approached Zhou Lingtong's carriage.
Liu Ming was just unhappy with Yi Feng's attitude, this kind of ignoring him, which made him extremely annoyed.
"Okay, you are all warriors hired by us, I don't want a dispute between you!" Yan Mu said coldly.
Liu Ming was quite jealous of Yan Mu, glanced at Yi Feng with some resentment, and then stopped talking.
"Miss Zhou, can I get into the carriage for a while?" Yi Feng approached the carriage and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted Yan Mu's cold gaze.
"This kid really doesn't know what to do, he actually wants to get into the carriage of the Empress of the Purple Cloud Empire?" Liu Ming sneered.
"It's just a kid with some talent. Wu Zai and Lu Chengming also sneered.
Just when Yan Mu wanted to scold Yi Feng, he saw him take out a purple token and throw it into the carriage.
Although Yi Feng's movements were fast, Yan Mu could still see clearly, it was a token that only members of the royal family of the Purple Cloud Empire had.
He swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips, and couldn't help but think, "Could it be that this young man has some relationship with the Purple Cloud Empire?"
There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and then Zhou Lingtong's clear voice came: "Son, please get in the car." β
Liu Ming and the others were all stunned, obviously a little surprised that the queen let Yi Feng get into the carriage.
"It's not the ...... you like"
Halfway through Liu Ming's words, he felt Yan Mu's cold gaze and immediately closed his mouth.
Yi Feng jumped forward, and under the somewhat envious gaze of Wu Zai and the others, he got into the carriage.
The decoration in the carriage is extremely simple, if you don't know that Zhou Lingtong's identity is the queen of the Purple Cloud Empire, you would think it is a commoner's carriage.
Zhou Lingtong held the purple token and looked at it carefully.
"Young Master Yi, where did you get this from?"
Yi Feng looked at Zhou Lingtong and said with a smile: "This was given to me by Mu Xinghai many years ago. β
Hearing Mu Xinghai's name, Zhou Lingtong's body was shocked, and his eyes became a little sad.
"Yi Gongzi, Yi Feng......" Zhou Lingtong muttered in his mouth, and then looked up at Yi Feng, and said, "You are the Yi Feng in the mouth of the Lingshuang girl, right?"
"I guess it's me. Yi Feng's mind gradually appeared Mu Lingshuang's eccentric appearance.
I haven't seen her for many years, and that girl must be more beautiful.
"Yi Gongzi, please save them!" Zhou Lingtong suddenly knelt down at Yi Feng, his eyes reddening.
She had heard a lot about Yi Feng from Mu Lingshuang, and in Mu Lingshuang's mouth, Yi Feng was like a myth.
So when she knew that the young man in front of her was Yi Feng in Mu Lingshuang's mouth, she had great hope.
Yi Feng helped her up and said, "You don't have to be like this, my brother and sister and I are old friends, so I will naturally do my best to help them." β
"But how did you come up with the idea of recruiting people by hunting injured spirit beasts?"
"Chen Tong also sent someone to chase and kill us, so in order to avoid pursuit, we naturally have to be much more careful. The use of hunting injured spirit beasts is also because we really encountered a purple lion with wings on its back. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Lingtong's expression became frightened.
"It should be an injured fourth-order spirit beast, if that person hadn't become interested in that spirit beast, we wouldn't have been able to escape to the periphery of the spirit beast mountain range. As soon as Zhou Lingtong's words fell, she covered her mouth, and she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.
"Yi Feng, please don't tell them!" After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Lingtong begged.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. Yi Feng said lightly, and then got out of the carriage.
It was also a surprise to get the news of the Purple Emperor from Zhou Lingtong, but he didn't expect that the lion to really go in the direction of the Purple Cloud Empire.
However, Zhou Lingtong's words made Yi Feng even more puzzled, the other party actually had a strong person in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so what was standing behind Chen Tong?
It seems that only the Purple Cloud Empire will be able to figure it out.
In order to prevent the news from being revealed, Yan Mu deliberately ran away from Ruo Existing City, but in this way, the time to arrive at the Purple Cloud Empire increased.
Six days later, Yan Mu and the others finally arrived at Purple Cloud City, the core of the Purple Cloud Empire.
From a distance, the entire Purple Cloud City can be described as heavily guarded, with a team of guards guarding the city gate, and anyone who wants Jincheng to leave the city has been strictly searched.
And the captain of the guard at the gate has some high-level strength in the Earth Spirit Realm.
"What should I do, do you want to go in directly?" Liu Ming said with some gear.
