Chapter 200: Secret Talk in the Palace
"What? You said that there were hundreds of Martial God-level masters and dozens of Martial Venerable-level masters in the Five Finger Mountain Range?" In the imperial study, Nangong Yunfeng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the report of the black shadow, and shouted in a lost voice.
He himself was a Martial God level master, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate to the Martial God level, and he exhausted the power of the empire before he finally cultivated to the Martial God realm fifteen years ago.
Although there are many unknown powerful forces hidden in the empire for thousands of years, after all, they are left by the older generation to protect the empire, not the armed forces of his people, and if there is no major national event, even if he is the king of a country, he has no right to use these powers.
After all, other people's strength is someone else's, only if they continue to grow stronger, can they be truly strong, and only in this way can they have enough protection to protect themselves, so after reaching the realm of the Martial God, he continued to work hard to cultivate, trying to break through the realm of the Martial God and reach the realm of the Taoist disciple who has reached a higher level in the legend. It's a pity that so far, his cultivation is still stagnant.
He knew that there were many peerless powerhouses with unfathomable strength hidden in the Martial Arts Continent, but he couldn't have imagined that there would be someone who was so strong that he had so many Martial Gods and Martial Venerable-level masters as his subordinates. Even if he is the king of the country, he exhausts the strength of the whole country, I am afraid that he will not be able to find so many martial gods.
"Yes. The Black Shadow nodded, remembering what had happened in the Five Finger Mountains, and he still had lingering fears.
"Have you found any clues?" After the initial shock, Nangong Yunfeng gradually calmed down and asked solemnly. He knew that since the black shadow would leave his son unprotected, but he was in a hurry to come back and report the matter to him, it was obvious that he should have discovered something.
"In addition to these Martial Gods and Martial Venerables, the Five Finger Mountains also hide a peerless powerhouse who is by no means invincible to the Martial Gods. The dark shadow said with a deep breath.
"Peerless powerhouse" Nangong Yunfeng was shocked again. The black shadow itself is a martial god-level master, which can make him think that he is a peerless powerhouse who is by no means invincible to a martial god, which shows how strong that master is.
"Hmm. The black shadow bowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Your Majesty, do you remember the incident that happened in the King's City half a month ago?"
"Of course I do. It's just very strange that since that day, the mysterious power that uprooted the three families of Zhao, Qian and Sun suddenly evaporated in the world, and I Guang sent people to investigate everywhere, but so far nothing has been found. Why did you suddenly ask about this? Could it be ......" Nangong Yunfeng thought of the incident in King City, frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise.
"Yes, there have been rumors among the people that the leader of the mysterious power that uprooted the three families of Zhao Qian and Sun is Zhang Huaming of the Xia Dynasty Empire, if my guess is correct, I am afraid that these people are now those martial gods and martial masters hidden in the Five Finger Mountains. And that peerless powerhouse is likely to be Zhang Huaming, the king of freedom. The black shadow said in shock.
"Is Zhang Huaming really so strong that he is so terrifying?" Nangong Yunfeng asked in disbelief.
"Three years ago, the sword mén of the four major mén of the martial arts continent was destroyed overnight, the Beiyu Empire was subverted, and then the sword mén was also hit hard, all of which were major events that shocked the world, and it is said that the black man behind these major events is Zhang Huaming. If this rumor is true, then Zhang Huaming in three years is likely to be unimaginably strong. ”
The black shadow revealed his guesses and thoughts, and he was really surprised in his heart how Zhang Huaming cultivated, how he was able to create miracles in just a few years at such a young age, bringing one surprise after another to the Martial Arts Continent.
"If this series of events is linked, it cannot be ruled out that the person who is now hiding in the Five Finger Mountains is likely to be Zhang Huaming. Nangong Yunfeng said a little unwillingly.
He is the king of a country in the Southern Yan Empire, but he can't even compare to the Xiaoyao King of the Little Xia Kingdom back then, which can't help but make him feel a deep sense of frustration, and this frustration is the most unbearable for him.
"Thirty thousand soldiers, that's it. Nangong Yunfeng raised his head and muttered, feeling that he was very aggrieved and angry, knowing who the enemy was, and also knowing that the enemy was deliberately slaughtering all his 30,000 soldiers, the purpose was to deter himself, but as the king of a country, he could only watch 30,000 people die.
He hates it so much, both Shengyu and He Shengliang, it is enough for the Martial Arts Continent to have its own generation of heroes, why should there be a Zhang Huaming who is more powerful than himself, and snatch away the glory and glory that originally belonged to him. And now, Zhang Huaming has bullied his own home, so that he has nowhere to vent his hatred.
"Your Majesty, this is just my personal speculation, and until the truth is ascertained, everything cannot be conclusive. The black shadow felt the unwillingness and hatred in Nangong Yunfeng's heart, and hurriedly said in a respectful voice.
"Since we haven't found out, let's check it out right away. The matter of the Five Finger Mountain Range will be stopped for the time being, and you will immediately send someone to the Xia Dynasty Empire to investigate Zhang Huaming's movements and whereabouts, and report back as soon as there is news. Nangong Yunfeng knew that the black shadow was comforting himself, and he was not dwelling on this matter, so he ordered immediately. But then he thought about something very serious and critical.
"However, if that Zhang Huaming is really a peerless powerhouse hidden in the Five Finger Mountains, then what is the purpose of him leading people to hide there? Could it be that the coveted Nanyan Empire is vainly trying to wait for an opportunity?" Nangong Yunfeng frowned and lowered his head in contemplation.
This is an issue that should never be overlooked.
On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore.
A peerless powerhouse with a powerful subordinate is eyeing the border of his Nanyan Empire, and no one will feel at ease, let alone Nangong Yunfeng, who prides himself on being a generation of heroes.
"This one is probably great. Three years ago, he subverted the Northern Language Empire, and it cannot be ruled out that he would want to overthrow our Southern Yan Empire three years later. Dark Shadow thought about it and felt that this was indeed a huge problem.
"It seems that this is a hidden danger after all, and if this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for me to settle down for a day. Nangong Yunfeng said very aggrievedly.
He even had the urge to take the strength left by his ancestors and the million-strong army to directly level the Five Finger Mountains, but he knew that this was just his own good idea. Needless to say, he didn't know whether the identity of that peerless powerhouse was Zhang Huaming, just the hundreds of martial gods and dozens of martial arts were enough to give people a headache, and he was not sure to rely on the power left by his ancestors to fight against them.
"Your Majesty, there is always a solution to everything, and now that the peerless powerhouse lives in the Five Finger Mountain Range, let him stay for now, and it will not be too late for His Majesty to make a decision after ascertaining the truth of all the facts. What's more, based on the speculation of his subordinates, since the peerless powerhouse has opened up to the second prince and the eldest prince three times and twice without killing them all, he obviously does not want to form an indissoluble enmity with our Nanyan Empire. It can be seen from this that his purpose may not be our Southern Yan Empire. The shadow told her other speculation.
"Hmm. Let's wait until the truth is clarified. I just don't know how Hua'er is now. Nangong Yunfeng knew that the only thing he could do now was to wait, wait for the black shadow to find out the truth, and wait for the peerless powerhouse hidden in the Five Finger Mountain Range to reveal his true purpose.
"The eldest prince should be unhindered, otherwise just those hundred martial gods would have directly killed Dong Lao and a few of them and His Royal Highness the Great Prince, instead of just slaughtering the 30,000 soldiers. The Black Shadow was very sure of this, and he even suspected that the peerless powerhouse might have discovered his existence a long time ago, but he was just too lazy to take care of himself.
Thinking of this, the black shadow suddenly felt afraid for a while, he originally thought that he had a mysterious body method passed down from his family, and no one would be able to detect his traces, but it was impossible to deceive that strong man.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Great Prince and the old man ask to see you. Nangong Yunfeng and Heiying were talking about Nangong Hua's life and death, but they didn't expect to say that Cao Cào Cao Cào had arrived, and the sound of the next person's report was immediately heard outside the mén.
"Let them in. Nangong Yunfeng said to Mén, and the black shadow saluted him, then turned around and disappeared into the air.
"Attend Your Majesty. The four old men took Nangong Hua into the imperial study and knelt on the ground to salute.
"Get up. Nangong Yunfeng glanced at his depressed son, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said lightly, "Why did you come back so soon?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the matter of the Five Finger Mountains needs to be considered in the long run. The old man at the head was shocked, thinking that Nangong Yunfeng wanted to hold himself accountable, and hurriedly said.
"I already know about the Five Finger Mountains, so I don't need to say anything more. But my good son, how did he end up in such an unbearable situation?" Nangong Yunfeng waved his hand to signal that the old man did not need to report it, and turned his gaze to Nangong Hua, who had been standing by silently.
"This ......" When the four old men heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, hesitated for a moment, but didn't know what to say. Do they have to say that this is all because the eldest prince Nangong Hua is stubborn and self-inflicted? Even if they are killed, they will not say it.
"Hua'er, don't you bow when you see me?" Nangong Yunfeng suddenly shouted, his voice was like a bell, and he replied endlessly in the imperial study. After learning about the Five Finger Mountain Range, he guessed that his son was likely to suffer a serious blow because of this, but he didn't expect that the blow he received would make him look like this.
"Father...... Emperor, child...... Child...... Conviction of sin. Nangong Hua, who was in a daze, was awakened by Nangong Yunfeng's loud shout, raised his eyes and saw Nangong Yunfeng, who was solemn, thinking that he had made such a big mistake this time, he was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
What he is most afraid of now is his father, Emperor Nangong Yunfeng, because this time the Five Finger Mountain Range and his party not only returned in vain, but also lost more than 30,000 soldiers and died, and he was very disappointed in himself from then on. Then he is likely to lose his favor because of this, and he will not even be able to inherit the throne of the empire. It was something he definitely didn't want to see.
