Chapter Seventy-Six—A Heart-to-Heart Conversation in the Middle of the Night

The night breeze was blowing, and the lights in Zhongcheng had long been extinguished in the middle of the winter night, except for the occasional patrol soldier on the castle tower, wearing armor and holding a long sword and holding a torch.

Of course, even in the middle of the night, there were people who couldn't sleep and sat in front of the window staring at the night sky as dark as ink, and they also witnessed the dazzling light left by the fiery phoenix streaked across the night sky. Some of the civilians and patrolling soldiers, they knew about the existence of this fire phoenix, so they were not too surprised.

There are also people who have never seen this fire phoenix, and they were almost scared half to death by the unexpected appearance of this fire phoenix, but fortunately, it seems that this different orange-red flame seems to only appear in an instant, but it disappears somehow.

The light that bloomed when the fire phoenix rose into the air was the most dazzling, and as it left Zhongcheng, the light that had once bloomed in the city gradually dissipated, and the short-lived effects caused by its appearance also dissipated.

In the city, whether it is the Huqing army guards guarding the city patrol, or some people who can't sleep and staring at the sky by the windows of their homes. None of them noticed that in the moment after this fire phoenix left, a vigorous figure jumped out from the high wall of the Zhongcheng Imperial Palace, chasing the direction of the fire phoenix's departure. No one even discovered the reason why the figure quietly left Chungseong, and where the figure ended up.

Half an hour later, the faint moonlight of midnight shone through the meager sky overhead. At the edge of the cliff on the top of the hill outside Zhongcheng City, a leap from the bottom of the mountain like a cornice walking wall, straight to the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, and if you can see the true face of this figure, you can see very clearly that this is a plump woman with smart movements, just from the speed of climbing the cliff at this time, it can be seen that her light skills are still very outstanding.

And on the cliff at the top of the mountain, I don't know when a very unusual figure suddenly appeared, a person with long orange and red hair, hanging down behind his slightly broad shoulders, if you look at this long hair like a waterfall alone, you may think that this figure is a woman. But as long as you look down, whether it is the dark red phoenix crown robe she is wearing, or its burly figure and arms, you can realize that the actual gender of this figure is still male.

The figure of the man sitting on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, it was impossible to tell how old the man was from his face and body alone. Of course, his movements seem to be very subtle. His body sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs dangling from the cliff, swaying back and forth, looking like a young child. His gaze was fixed on the dim moonless sky, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

"Feng'er, you run fast. "In the silent night sky, there were two different voices in a row on this mountain cliff that was bound to be uninhabited, and from the figure alone, this person who came later, jumped up from the bottom of the mountain, and used light skills all the way to the top of the mountain near the cliff, must be a woman. "Fortunately, I didn't go to rest, I just saw you complete Nirvana and fly into the sky again, I didn't expect you to leave Zhongcheng directly, are you so anxious?"

Hearing this slightly relaxed and pleasant voice, the man with a strange face sitting on the cliff smiled quietly, stretched his legs forward, and the whole person's body hung in the air on the edge of the cliff out of thin air, his left leg moved forward slightly, and the whole person's body was slightly tilted, smiling and staring at the figure in front of him who was already sitting on the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't see his proper face clearly under the entire dim night sky, except for the vague and lingering silhouette of the body, the others couldn't see the real face and the bottom clearly.

The man with long orange-red hair, who was half-leaning on his body and hanging not far away, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of orange-red flames out of thin air, and his right hand quietly picked up the flame in his hand. When the flames burned, they instantly illuminated the area around the cliff, which was already narrow, rendering the entire environment clear enough to see everyone's faces.

The figure that appeared here in front of him was naturally the one who followed the trail all the way to chase the fire phoenix before, and the queen of the feudal kingdom was merciful. When she made up her mind to follow in the footsteps of the Fire Phoenix, she had already guessed that this Fire Phoenix was likely to go to the place where they had been many times, that is, this barren mountain on the outskirts of Zhongcheng.

Once, Bu Lian was still very young, but he was only twenty-four or five years old. Because she often traveled back and forth between Dream City and Zhongcheng, the Feng Zhan Hui at that time had already begun to show its hideous face, and the relationship between the Feng Zhan Society and the royal family at that time was already very tense, and Bu Lian often went to Dream City to go out to play with this fire phoenix. Whenever he comes to the vicinity of Zhongcheng, this fire phoenix always likes to take on a human form, sitting near the cliff and staring at the bright and prosperous Zhongcheng in the distance.

According to it, the words of this guardian beast, such a situation will always make it inadvertently remind it of the time when it once lived on the Nine Domains, and it always likes to quietly fly to the vicinity of the most prosperous royal city on the Nine Domains at that time, quietly watching the prosperous royal city below, and it will inexplicably feel at peace. But the specific reason for this, in fact, it can't say why.

Although Bu Lian couldn't understand this, she wouldn't delve into and ask about it. Today, with the completion of this little fire phoenix nirvana and its rejuvenation, Bu Lian can think that it is very likely that it will fly out of the city and come here to watch quietly, even if Zhongcheng is far less prosperous than it was in its heyday.

The human form of the fire phoenix turned into a phoenix fire spit out from its mouth, and while it was placed in his hand, the night illuminated the figure in front of him. This fire phoenix smiled quietly, "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years, except for you having an extra son, this appearance and sensitivity seem to be no different from before." If I hadn't known, I wouldn't have believed you were over forty. ”

"Hey, hey, Feng'er, when did you learn to say this kind of thing? I live every day now, I thought that your nirvana was completed, and I had someone to complain about, but I never thought that you, ......" Bu Lian rarely revealed this kind of little daughter-like heart, and she was already mature and was able to hide her true emotions very early. However, the relationship between Bu Lian and this fire phoenix has been established since she was a child, and she will not have any worries about speaking in front of this fire phoenix.

As she spoke, her face showed a little helplessness, and when she was chatting with this fire phoenix, she inadvertently used a way of speaking and a tone that she hadn't used for a long time, which was really unexpected.

This fire phoenix also knows this woman better, although it has been in a kind of nirvana that is almost deep in sleep for the past few years, it is not without understanding what is happening in the outside world, it naturally knows that the dark army has returned to this Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, which has already become weak, and has caused a huge threat to all forces on the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.

As the guardian beast of the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent and the ancient tribe of the Phoenix Clan, this fire phoenix has also seen with his own eyes, what kind of terrifying existence is the almost pervasive dark power scattered all over the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent at that time, and it also knows that the Creation God has spent a huge price and time to barely suppress these deep darkness that has risen all over the continent.

Once the Dark Legion returns, it will inevitably set off a new wave of bloody rain on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, and it is very likely that the Dark Evil God will reawaken these dark forces buried deep underground. Once these dark forces that had been sealed back again, it would be a devastating blow to the fight against darkness on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.

"I can understand," Huo Feng thought for a long time, and finally took the lead in responding to what Bu Lian said earlier, "Now that the country is closed, because Zheng Junchao is in contact with the Dark Legion, he originally wanted to borrow their power to deal with the Qi country, but he didn't expect to do something to lure the wolf into the house." How's he doing now?"

Bu Lian shook her head a little gloomily, "I can't say this, he has been in retreat for nearly twenty days, and he has not heard from him. Before he entered the retreat in the Temple of Dawn, he had already told me that there was no need to visit him, and that if he could overcome the dark corruption that the Dark Legion had given him, he would be completely cut off from the Dark Legion. Now, I can only hope that he will not fall into darkness, and there is nothing else I can do. ”

In fact, there is no need to say this, this fire phoenix can also understand the reason for Bu Lian's slightly helpless words now. The power of the Dark Evil God is indeed not only unpredictable, but as the power of the Creation God gradually weakens, his strength has also been increased unprecedentedly, and the power he possesses is probably no longer something that they can fight against with a single force now.

Huo Feng comforted Bu Lian softly: "We should believe him, although we have taken a wrong step, it does not mean that he has no determination to overcome the predicament, I am willing to believe him, but maybe there is not enough time." Now that the country is closed, someone must lead it, and all the forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent must also be completely united before they can have the possibility of fighting against the Dark Legion. I'm sure you already have some ideas and plans in mind about this. ”

Bu Lian bowed slightly, she had already had an idea about this, but due to the pressure of the situation, and the tricky thing that happened in the court today, as the retainer and confidant of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, Yue Ji, the commander of the Huqing army's guards, must be resolutely opposed to Bu Yuehan coming to succeed to the position of Emperor Fengguo.

Thinking of this, Bu Lian asked a little helplessly: "Feng'er, do you have a way, and whether Han'er is willing to take over the throne or not, even if she is willing, there are still many opposition forces in the country, and the most important thing is that there is not enough time now, and if the feudal country cannot recover the decline, I am afraid that once the dark evil god returns, it will be difficult for us to get rid of the clutches of the dark army." ”
