At night, in front of the elegant garden specially arranged by the royal envoy for the Flame Red Empire, the two people walked over side by side.

In the royal manor, the garrison is extremely tight, and the only people who can approach Yanchi Yayuan so lightly are naturally the people around him.

"Young Master Zhan. A pleasant voice rang out.

Zhan Ao finally withdrew his gaze from afar, fell on the beautiful face of the fourth princess Huo Yunrou, and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, is there something wrong?"

The fourth princess smiled sweetly at him and said, "Young Master Zhan, I heard from the guards, you have been standing here for an evening, and you haven't even used dinner." ”

Zhan Ao smiled dumbly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I'm fine." ”

The fourth prince Huo Lie and his sister glanced at each other, Huo Lie took a step forward, and said respectfully, he didn't dare to take this guy in front of him lightly, this is the second best person in the test list in the Flame Red Empire, and the strength of the fighter in the Flame Red Empire is second only to the royal family.

"Young Master Zhan, were you enlightening just now?"

"Nope. Zhan Ao shook his head and said, "If you want to enter the realm of enlightenment, then how easy is it. He sighed lightly, suddenly raised his head, and said, "I bothered the fourth prince to inquire about the origin of that person, but I don't know if there is any news now?"

"I have already sent my men to investigate, the one who accompanied Luo Feng's old guy to the palace today is a junior cultivator from Wu'an County of the Mingyan Empire, who ranks third on the test list of the Mingyan Empire, and it is said that Luo Wujian, who was ranked second before, also lost a move to him in the fight, and ......" He paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a tone that he didn't believe either: "That guy doesn't seem to be under twenty this year. ”

Zhan Ao's face instantly became extremely interesting, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he said, "Is the person sent out by the Four Princes reliable? There may be a Soul Condensing Realm powerhouse in his twenties in this world, but it will never appear in the Mingyan Empire. ”

With a look of shame on his face, he said, "I also heard this news from my subordinates, since Young Master Zhan said so, I'll ask them to find out again." ”

Although Xun Qiu's face looked extremely young, because of his long-term cultivation, the cultivator's face definitely couldn't be viewed at the surface, because that would be the most unsafe way. And Zhan Ao would never believe that Xun Qiu would really be able to set foot in the Soul Condensing Realm before the age of twenty.

After all, the more you are a genius, the more you are suspicious of things that are more genius than yourself.

Zhan Ao waved his hand slightly, and said: "Forget it, don't make a public announcement about this matter for the time being, it won't be good if it attracts their attention, anyway, when we go back, there will naturally be news." ”

Huo Lie hesitated for a moment and said, "What Young Master Zhan said is true, but speaking of this guy called Xun Qiu, it reminds me of a person." ”

"Who?"

"Young Master Zhan, do you still remember the political changes in the Kaiping Empire six years ago?"

Zhan Ao snorted lightly and said, "The second prince is saying that Zhang Jingyao rebelled and seized power, and killed Emperor Kaiping and Duke Weiguo?"

"Exactly. Huo Lie said respectfully: "Last month, we sent information, although the Duke of Wei Guo was killed in the coup, his only son Xunqiu did not die, but was rescued by a mysterious person, and he was hidden in a small place called the Giant Seal Martial Arts Hall in Fangyuan City, Wu'an County, the Mingyan Empire, and this little marquis changed his name invisibly, and now it is this Xun Qiu." ”

Zhan Ao was slightly stunned, and said in a lost voice: "This Xun Qiu is Xun Qiu, who was previously known as the head of the three evils of the Kaiping Imperial Capital? Isn't that little bastard said that he is a bastard who has done all the bad things and does not want to make progress? How could he become a strong man in the Soul Condensing Realm?"

Huo Lie smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master Zhan, we also hope that this is purely a rumor, but with the memories of those who witnessed the coup d'état at that time, when the little Marquis Xunqiu fled in the imperial capital, he had already shown the strength to kill the masters of the Yin Yang Realm, and the locals were all deliberately pretending to be a swinger, but in fact, he was secretly cultivating." ”

"Hmph, even if this Xunqiu alias has extraordinary strength, and we are not afraid of him defecting to the Mingyan Empire, you know, our Red Flame Empire is not like him The Mingyan Empire only has one Yuan Shen Realm, we have a full four Yuan Shen powerhouses. A coquettish sound came out of Huo Yunrou's mouth, her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked, full of different styles, but the words that came out of her mouth were so shocking: "Fourth brother, we might as well ask Grandpa Tai to come forward and kill Luo Feng directly, and by the way, catch the kid called Xun Qiu and give it to Zhang Jingyao." ”

"Nonsense. Huo Lie cried and said with a smile: "How is this a trivial matter, if we dispatch several masters of the Yuan Shen Realm to attack the Mingyan Empire, the Immortal Mansion will definitely intervene at that time, you must know that although the Yuan Shen Realm is a god-like existence in the secular world, but in the Immortal Mansion, it is just a disciple with stronger combat effectiveness, how can it be child's play." ”

Huoyun Roujiao smiled and said, "Fourth brother, is this just an excuse?" Since you said that he is the son of Xun Changfeng, simply tell the Kaiping royal family about this matter, and let Kaiping fight to the death with Mingyan when the time comes, and let's take advantage of the fisherman again. A proud smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Think about it, Zhang Jingyao has always been ruthless, knowing that this Xun Changfeng's son is still alive, he must kill him by any means." ”

Blaze was silent for a moment, which was indeed a good approach. It's just that among the many countries on the continent now, the strength of the Kaiping Empire is stronger, which can be seen from the masters of the Yuan Shen Realm alone, they have eleven Yuan Shen Realm masters, almost more than the sum of other countries.

Zhan Ao suddenly opened his mouth at this time and said, "It's worth it." ”

Fire Flame looked up, and there was indescribable surprise in his eyes, even Huo Yunrou.

She just proposed this Jianyì, which was also a joke, but she didn't expect that Zhan Ao would conclude in one go, which greatly surprised her.

"Young Master Zhan, why do you say that?"

Zhan Ao's expression was extremely solemn, and he said: "Didn't you send someone to inquire, he is not even twenty, a Soul Condensation Realm powerhouse who is less than twenty, such a threat is more powerful than several ready-made Yuan Shen Realm powerhouses." ”

After a pause, Zhan Ao said again: "And don't forget, with the current strength of this Xun Qiu, entering the Immortal Mansion to cultivate is a sure thing, if he really enters the Immortal Mansion to cultivate at the age of less than twenty, then the future must be limitless." You must know that the most golden period of cultivation is before the age of thirty, a person who enters the Immortal Mansion at the age of twenty, no matter how bad it is, it is estimated that he will be able to advance to the True Realm, and it will not take many years to become the leader of the Immortal Mansion, and when the time comes, if he wants to keep the Mingyan Empire, who would dare to touch it?"

Seeing that Huo Lie and Huo Yunrou looked a little dazed, Zhan Ao snorted coldly and said, "Have you forgotten how the Second Prince sat on the royal family of the Flame Red Empire and made the Flame Red Empire leap from a remote town to one of the five major powers on the continent now?"

As soon as this sentence came out, he immediately gave Huo Lie and Huo Yunrou a dull stick, if there were other things, they might not know, but the old ancestor of the Huo family, they still knew that at that time, the Huo family was just a family in a small country and county, and later the Huo family appeared as a genius, he won the championship in the rookie battle, and entered the Five Elements Sword School to study, and successfully reached the height of the Ascension Realm, and became the deputy head, which made the Huo family rise rapidly, and even replaced the royal family, controlled the empire, and has been developing into one of the five major countries of the Yunran Continent。

Although that old ancestor unfortunately passed away two hundred years ago when he was improving his cultivation, the entire Flame Red Empire had already gained a firm foothold on the mainland.

Huo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Zhan, didn't you also say that it is impossible for a twenty-year-old Soul Condensing Realm powerhouse to appear in the Mingyan Empire?"

"It's impossible, but this man is so young, even if he is not twenty years old, he will definitely not be more than twenty-five. Zhan Ao said affirmatively: "Under the age of twenty-five, you have already set foot in the Soul Condensing Realm and reached the point of defeating Luo Wujian, which is also a great achievement. ”

Huo Flame and Huo Yunrou glanced at each other, and their hearts fluttered at the same time.

After half a ring, Huo Yunrou asked again, "Young Master Zhan, since you are not enlightened, why do you stay here for an evening?"

Zhan Ao sighed lightly, he seemed to have a preference for Huo Yunrou, and after pondering for a while, he finally said, "Before coming here, did Your Majesty tell you the purpose of our trip?"

"My father once mentioned it. Huo Yunrou half-bowed and said: "Father said that Luo Feng, the protector of the Mingyan Empire, is very old, and it is said that the longevity is not long, he asked us to come to explore the truth, if this is the case, we will have to adjust our next strategy against the Mingyan Empire." ”

"Not bad. Zhan Ao nodded slightly and said, "I met with Na Luofeng today and found that he really won't live for a few years. ”

Flaming's expression tightened, and he said, "Young Master Zhan, how did you do this?"

Zhan Ao's face showed a look of pride, and said: "My cultivation is only a triple condensation soul realm, that old guy can easily abolish me with one arm, and according to normal reasoning, it is impossible for me to find out his details, but this time I brought the Zhan Family Supreme Treasure Mirror, judging from the reaction of the mirror, the rumors are not groundless." ”

Huo's eyes suddenly lit up a little, and said: "Great, the development of the Mingyan Empire in the past hundred years has been extremely fast, and it has expanded from only eight counties to eleven counties, if Luo Feng dies, then it will definitely be a great decline in the country, and it will no longer be able to threaten us." ”

Zhan Ao shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I originally thought so, but ......" His tone sank, and said: "Just before, there was a strong fluctuation of the qi of heaven and earth from that direction, and the intensity of this momentum was simply earth-shattering. ”

The faces of the Fire Lie brothers and sisters changed drastically, and Huo Yunrou exclaimed, "Young Master Zhan, then this rumor ......"
