Chapter 407 Draw from the bottom of the kettle
After returning from the Imperial Academy, Ying Lingyue went to find Xiao Feng non-stop, with her understanding of Xiao Feng, if Hong Tianken pulled down to see him, Xiao Feng would definitely not refuse.
With Ying Lingyue's expectation, Xiao Feng agreed without the slightest hesitation after knowing that Hong Tian asked him to meet.
Ying Lingyue prepared a dinner party in her palace while the iron was hot, and no one was invited, only Hong Tian and Xiao Feng.
The first to come was Xiao Feng, he only brought two entourages, and the other guards were all left outside the princess's palace, and Hong Tian was even more free, alone, not even a follower, and flew to the princess's palace alone.
"The princess is invited, the old decay is late, and it is sinful and sinful. ”
Hong Tian walked in from outside the door with a smile, and as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Feng stood up with a "rub".
"Teacher. ”
After many days, Xiao Feng still called this title respectfully, and the smiling Hong Tian's body shook slightly, glanced at Xiao Feng, and said in a deep voice:
"It's been a long time, you've become an adult. ”
Just this sentence expressed his concern and expectation for Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng's heart was sour, he betrayed the Imperial Academy in anger, and felt that Hong Tian was the most sorry.
"Teacher. ”
Xiao Feng pursed the corners of his mouth, and was about to bow down, Hong Tian raised his hand slightly, and a strong spiritual power instantly held Xiao Feng up.
"You are now a prince with a noble status, and I can't accept this worship. ”
Xiao Feng frowned, Ying Lingyue hurriedly came out of the round, said a few words with a smile, and Xiao Feng gave up.
The three of them sat at the table, because it was a private banquet, and the national disaster was at the head, so there were not many banquet dishes prepared by Ying Lingyue, Xiao Feng and Hong Tian were people who didn't care about pomp, not to mention that they didn't come to eat, so they didn't care about these details.
After three rounds of drinking, they were always polite to each other, Ying Lingyue quietly confessed and retreated, leaving only Xiao Feng and Hong Tian to sit opposite each other.
"The teacher's complexion has recovered a lot, and I think the injury is almost better. ”
After toasting a glass of wine, Xiao Feng said in a deep voice.
Hong Tian shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"People are old and everything is declining, and my injury will not be healed, but before I die, this last force still has to serve the country. ”
"The teacher is loyal and courageous, and the student is ashamed of himself. ”
Xiao Feng praised from the bottom of his heart, and Hong Tian shook his head and smiled:
"I have accepted a lot of apprentices in my life, and it is not useless to be promising, but I can no longer find a person like you, who can take charge of saving all the people and water and fire, even if it is me, I don't have the ability you have now. ”
"The teacher is complaining that I have subdued the demons?"
Xiao Feng heard the taste from Hong Tian's words, this short old man would never praise people like this.
"The demons are suspicious, standing with you today, maybe they will stab you in the back tomorrow, I know them too well. ”
Hong Tian nodded, and Xiao Feng said in a deep voice:
"The demons are different from what we think, they just want to survive, and now the continent is in danger, they help me, that is, to help Tianqin, but also to help the entire continent. ”
"The heart of defense is indispensable. ”
Hong Tian was bitter, Xiao Feng didn't know how to explain it, thinking about the blood account between the Imperial Academy and the Demon Clan, Xiao Feng knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would only break up unhappily.
"I'm not here to see you, not to let you do anything, let alone to take revenge on the demons through you, I just want to remind you that at this juncture, you can't trust anyone too much. ”
"I see. ”
Xiao Feng nodded, and Hong Tian took out a small bottle from his arms, the bottle was a finger long, a little higher than the bottle containing the pill.
"The contents of this are the ones that have been painstakingly refined by generations of predecessors of the Imperial Academy, and if there really comes a day when the demons are not under your control, the contents of this bottle will come in handy. ”
"What is this?"
Xiao Feng was very curious, Hong Tian left his seat, walked up to Xiao Feng, and whispered a few words close to his ear.
After listening to these whispers, Xiao Feng's face became a little unnatural.
"I'm old, and that's the only thing I can do to help you. ”
Hong Tian stuffed the bottle into Xiao Feng's hand, Xiao Feng only felt that his hand was extremely heavy, don't look at this is a small bottle, but it has the ability to destroy the entire demon clan, leaving no grass behind.
"The ghost is upright by nature, he doesn't know how to be flexible, what he did that day~ I hope it won't make you hold a grudge against the academy. ”
Hong Tian sat back, mentioning the ghost, Xiao Feng's expression was a little sad, in terms of personality, Xiao Feng admired the ghost very much, and he really wanted to make friends with the ghost~ But unfortunately, the concept of good and evil of the ghost was too strong, and he couldn't tolerate the compromise that Xiao Feng made in order to survive, so the two parted ways.
"The future is uncertain, chaos is everywhere, if one day, if the Imperial Academy is in danger, I beg you to help. ”
With Hong Tian's strength and status, it is unimaginable that he can say this, but Xiao Feng has a trace of sadness in his heart, the hero is late, the biggest reason why Hong Tian is abnormal today is that he is difficult to recover from his dark illness, and he is afraid that he will die soon.
"Teacher, although I have defected from the academy, the academy is like a teacher to me, and I will never stand idly by. ”
Xiao Feng showed his attitude, Hong Tian smiled with relief, and then said something innocuous and insignificant.
The little old man left, looking at his slightly rickety back, Xiao Feng's nose suddenly became sour, time is the most ruthless, even if it is a great man who stands up to the sky, he will grow old and die one day.
The mood was slightly gloomy and returned to his mansion, there were only a dozen people in the Anding Palace, Xiao Feng and the dozen people he brought in, the palace of Nuoda seemed very deserted, Xiao Feng came to the garden alone, this is said to be one of the best gardens in the Apocalypse City, until today, Xiao Feng has time to appreciate.
After a night without words, Xiao Feng went to the Tiangong Workshop to find Guo Lan as usual in the early morning of the second day, but what Xiao Feng didn't expect was that the door of the Tiangong Workshop was bloodstained, and some shocking marks were left on the copper wall.
In order not to hinder Ying Lingyue's plan, Hong Tian picked out nine Spirit Masters of the Holy Martial Realm from the Imperial Academy overnight and asked them to come to see Ying Lingyue early in the morning.
Ying Lingyue saw that Hong Tian sent people so quickly, and she didn't dare to delay, so she took them to the Tiangong Workshop, but she didn't expect to be ambushed in front of the Tiangong Workshop, and none of the nine spirits survived, and even Ying Lingyue was injured.
When Xiao Feng came, Guo Lan also arrived with the front foot and the back foot, these days by the heroes from all over the place, Guo Lan no longer has to support the big formation alone, he can leave for a while.
"Is the princess seriously injured?"
Guo Lan asked as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Feng shook his head, he had just come in, and the two of them quickly walked to the inner room, more than ten spirits were trying their best to rescue, judging from their faces and injuries, this battle was obviously much more tragic.
"Has anyone seen it?"
Guo Lan asked in a deep voice, Ruyue hurriedly called the two guards guarding the door of the Tiangong Workshop, and these two people stood on the high wall of the Tiangong Workshop and clearly saw what had happened.
But from the beginning of the attack to the death of nine people, the whole process took less than a minute, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards of the Princess Mansion, coupled with the support of the Heavenly Workshop, even Ying Lingyue would not have survived.
"Daring!"
Guo Lan's face was bloodless, the Heavenly Workshop was a place she was proud of, it condensed the highest military technology of the Tianqin Empire, and it was also the safest place in the Apocalypse City, Guo Lan placed Ruyue here, and let Xiao Feng summon the Nine Heavens in the Heavenly Workshop, which was a foolproof strategy, but what she didn't expect was that those spirits who were attached to the Seven Sins Demon God would be so frantic and do it in front of her Heavenly Workshop.
"Search! Search the whole city!"
Guo Lanqi's arms were trembling, Xiao Feng sighed, and said in a deep voice:
"Being able to deal with the nine Spirit Martial Realm spirits in such a short period of time, the strength of this group of people is definitely not low, not to mention that they can't be found, even if they can't be found, how can ordinary soldiers be helpless?"
"The princess was seriously injured, and the nine spirits who were about to become the Nine Heavens died on the spot, how can I swallow this breath!"
Guo Lan has been working hard these days, he thought that Xiao Feng had taken back the Nine Spirits King Ding, and hoped to start increasing it little by little, but he didn't expect that in his own territory, he would be hit by the enemy with such a heavy hand.
"In this way, this Apocalypse City is not safe, and you have to find another place. ”
Guo Lan is also sending out evil fire, with her wisdom, it is impossible to imagine that the search and arrest of the whole city is completely futile.
"I think that's all there is to it. ”
Xiao Feng nodded, but then frowned and said:
"The question now is, can the Imperial Academy find nine more people?"
Guo Lan took a deep breath and said wistfully:
"Difficult. ”
"What then?"
Xiao Feng frowned, Guo Lan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind and said:
"It's really not good, it's only the people who use you. ”
"My people?"
In Xiao Feng's mind, Yang Bin and the others suddenly appeared, in the battle hall, except for Xiao Feng, the seven people were all elites of the Imperial Academy, and the training of these days, coupled with Guo Lan's cultivation at any cost, had already entered the Holy Martial Realm when they left the imperial capital.
In fact, when Xiao Feng first learned that he had the opportunity to summon the Nine Heavens, the first thing he thought of was Yang Bin and them, everyone has selfish intentions, of course Xiao Feng wanted the people around him to get this power, but then Xiao Feng understood that inheriting the power of the Nine Heavens was very likely to die in this war.
It's basically about the same as sacrifice, so Xiao Feng dispelled this idea.
"I know you're embarrassed, but there's no way around it. ”
Guo Lan lowered his head, his expression was extremely gloomy, Xiao Feng was silent, he didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that as soon as he spoke out, he would lose the lives of several brothers.
"Master, the ghost asks Zhuge Jing to see you. ”
Guo Lan raised his head strangely and asked someone to call them in.
"What are you doing here?"
Guo Lan looked at the ghost and Zhuge Jing, and the ghost said in a deep voice:
"Let's continue their unfinished mission!"
