Chapter 147: The Five-Day Covenant
Fengming City is located at the foot of the southern foot of the Black Prison Mountain, which is the foundation of the Black Phoenix tribe for hundreds of years, which embodies the hard work of the Black Phoenix for many years, and has renovated and expanded this city many times, building a tall and majestic momentum, even if you stand on the hillside dozens of miles away, you can vaguely see the vague outline of the city.
And now, after a terrible battle, this city has been occupied by a new owner, and this big city, known as the most prosperous city in the Black Prison Mountain Realm, is still suffering from the pain of changing its master.
Of course, the Green Snake Demon Clan, as the victor, did not lower their vigilance against the defeated Black Phoenix Demon Clan, after all, the old Black Phoenix was still alive, and the elite of the Black Phoenix Clan was still there, and it did not hurt the fundamental vitality. While Yu Lin was recuperating, he still sent dozens of waves of spies in a row, carefully searching the past from several directions around Fengming City, intending to quickly find the current place where the Black Phoenix Demon Clan settled.
In time, if the Black Phoenix Demon Clan has a chance to breathe, it is not impossible for it to make a comeback, for this, Yulin obviously has a very clear understanding of this, even if the spies she sent out reported that there was no shadow of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan within a radius of dozens of miles from Fengming City, but Yulin still had a cold face and firmly ordered to continue searching, anyway, now the only way for the Black Prison Mountain to the outside world is being caught by her behind Fengming City, how can the Black Phoenix Demon Clan hide, it is like catching a turtle in an urn.
For her confidence in completely defeating the Black Phoenix Demon Clan, Yulin did not waver in the slightest from beginning to end, a Black Prison Mountain completely under the control of the Azure Snake Demon Clan was what she wanted, and it was also the first step of the dream of hegemony that was unknown to her heart.
On the other hand, for the Black Phoenix Demon Clan, the painful loser in that battle, the next few days were definitely a nightmare like a torment. Although Lao Heifeng saw the situation clearly that day and ordered the retreat in time, which can be regarded as preserving the strength of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan, the fact that he lost Fengming City was definitely a heavy blow to most of the demon generals and demon soldiers of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan.
For hundreds of years, many demon generals and demon soldiers have lived in Fengming City for generations, and naturally there will be countless family members, and after losing the first battle, the wolf-like green snake demon army occupies Fengming City, what will happen in the city, most of the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan can actually imagine.
This kind of thing almost made the military heart of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan about to collapse, I don't know how many brave and impulsive Demon Clan's eyes were blood-red and furious, and they wanted to rush back to Fengming City to take revenge, if it weren't for the old Black Phoenix's deep power over the past hundred years, I am afraid that it would have been unable to suppress it for a long time.
But that's the case, at this moment, on a mountain peak a hundred miles east of Fengming City, the old Hei Feng and the brocade-robed young man stood side by side, looking at the Fengming City that was still faintly visible in the eyes of the two of them for a while, but the old Hei Feng's face was as black as the clothes on his body, and looking at it, even the polite respect he had always maintained for this brocade-robed young man was not much left.
At this moment, I saw that his face was cold, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his expression was mixed with an indescribable anxiety and anger, and he said coldly to the brocade-robed young man:
"How many days, how many days do you want me to wait?"
※※※
This is an ordinary and inconspicuous mountain, more rocky and less earthy, slow but not dangerous, there is not even a name on weekdays, but at the foot of the back of this mountain, there are thousands of demon soldiers of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan, most of them are silent, but there is a faint atmosphere of tyranny and anxiety in the barracks, which makes people unconsciously a little frightened.
And on the peak of this nameless hill, at this moment, there were only the old Heifeng and the brocade-robed young man, and there was not even a guard around them, and it was obvious that the conversation between the two was something that even the closest cronies could not be present to hear.
Compared with the high-spirited appearance on the Spirit Monkey Slope a few days ago, the two of them have undergone some changes now. Needless to say, Lao Heifeng first had a demon battle with Yulin in the sky above Fengming City, and then forced his subordinates to retreat, and in the past two days, in order to appease his demon generals, the demon soldiers were even more anxious, and at this moment he looked pale and haggard, as if he had aged twenty years old overnight.
And the brocade-robed young man beside him, his expression at the moment is not very good, although he is quite passable compared to the old Heifeng, but the face that was originally young and handsome and full of energy looks at it at the moment, but it is a strong tired breath, and I don't know what he has done to make him, a strong man of the demon clan, so tired.
At this moment, hearing the angry question of the old black phoenix, the young man in the brocade robe felt a big headache, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and after muttering for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Five days, at least five days." ”
Lao Heifeng said categorically: "No!"
The brocade-robed young man frowned, the light in his eyes was cold, and he flashed and raised his eyes to look at the old black phoenix. Lao Heifeng snorted, but he didn't avoid it, just pointed to the barracks under the mountain with his hand, and said coldly: "What is it like there, you don't need me to say that you know." Do you think they'll have to wait five days?"
The brocade-robed young man frowned even deeper, but this time he didn't say anything to Lao Heifeng, in fact, he also knew that what Lao Heifeng said was indeed the truth, and he also understood that he proposed to suppress the Black Phoenix Demon Army for five days, which was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, but it was just ...... It's just that he really has a last resort here.
The atmosphere on the hill seemed to have some signs of solidification for a while, the old black phoenix stood there without saying a word, and his eyes looked at the Fengming City in the distance from time to time, making it impossible to imagine that he had been the king and dominated the Qingling world for more than a hundred years, but he was unexpectedly defeated by a young snake demon when he was about to grow old.
After a while, I only heard the brocade-robed young man sigh, lowered his voice a little, and said with a pleasant face: "Senior, I understand your current mood, and I can also understand your current anger, but now you rashly go back to storm Fengming City, the Green Snake Demon Clan is relying on the high walls of the city, and the morale has the upper hand, and you also admit that you are also in the realm of the Earth Demon, that Yulin's cultivation is not weaker than yours." In this way, if you lead the army to attack back, this will definitely be a fiasco. ”
Lao Heifeng snorted coldly, but his eyes looked at him a little unkindly, stared at the brocade-robed young man for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "What, what Gongzi means by this, but he doesn't plan to help?"
The brocade-robed young man shook his head and said, "The seniors are too careful, the agreement between you and me has long been agreed, and I am not a faithless person. ”
Lao Heifeng's eyes were full of light, and he seemed to have a lot of puzzlement, and said coldly: "Childe's words are light, I originally wanted to believe it." But firstly, during the battle of Fengming City that day, Childe sneaked into the city and left quickly, and secondly, today he once again refused to help our army counterattack, and so on, how can I still believe Childe's words. ”
Speaking of this, the old Heifeng's face was full of anger, and he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and said hatefully: "I don't believe it, as long as you make a move, there are two masters of the Earth Demon Realm, can't you directly crush the Green Snake Demon Clan?"
As soon as these words came out, the brocade-robed young man was silent, and there was silence on the hillside, but the hidden meaning in the words was enough to make the entire Black Hell Mountain tremble.
In this Black Hell Mountain Realm, a third great demon who had cultivated to the Earth Demon Realm secretly appeared, and this master still stood on the side of the Black Phoenix Demon Clan.
The wry smile on the face of the brocade-robed young man was even worse, and he seemed to have long expected that he would be exhausted in the face of this problem, and the old Heifeng looked at his appearance, thinking about the catastrophe that Fengming City, which had condensed the efforts of his clansmen for hundreds of years, was suffering at this moment, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable, even if he knew in his heart that this brocade-robed young man had a great background, and his identity and status should not be underestimated, but at this moment, his family foundation was almost finished, where could he still take care of these things, and he continued with a cold face:
"At first, you stood by on the Spirit Monkey Slope because we said that we would subdue the snake demon Yulin, so let's see how strong the Green Snake Clan is, which is reasonable. But after that, Childe, what you did really made the old man unable to let go, especially on the night of the decisive battle in Fengming City, you only said that you wanted to sneak into the city to rescue the little boy, and then disappeared without a trace......"
Lao Heifeng was accusing with a stern expression, but halfway through speaking, he suddenly suffocated his words, but he paused inexplicably, with a little doubt on his face, he looked at the young man in the brocade robe carefully, was silent for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice, and said: "Speaking of which, why haven't you seen the little boy in the past few days, what's wrong with him?"
The brocade-robed young man was silent, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "It seems that the patriarch has also guessed one or two, that's it, and now I won't hide it from you." When the little boy was found and rescued by me from the city that day, I don't know if he was frightened, or if he witnessed the tragic death of Ah Hu and was too stimulated on the spot, causing the stubborn disease to attack again, and his life was once in danger. ”
The old black phoenix's face changed slightly, his eyes swept over the face of the young man in the brocade robe full of exhaustion, and finally understood why this young but extremely high cultivation demon actually looked so tired, and then thought of the incomparably precious identity of the little boy, the actions of the young man in the brocade robe in the past few days had the best explanation, and he was speechless for a while.
The brocade-robed young man sighed and said, "Senior, I know that you are also a reasonable person, and this time it is really out of helplessness, there will be at least five days in the future, and every day I have to do my best to treat the little boy, so that he can suppress the strange disease on his body, and he really can't spare his hand." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something again, with a bit of regret and anger on his face, he snorted coldly and said,
"What is hateful is that the ancestor of the little prince originally passed down a rare treasure 'Tianhong Divine Pearl', which was a royal artifact of the Heavenly Demon Court in the past, and its effect was mysterious and magical, which could just suppress and regulate the strange illness of the little prince. If I have this divine bead in my hand and wear it close to my body, the mysterious power of the divine bead should be enough to protect my heart, but I can keep the little boy safe, and I can also free my hands. But I was negligent for a moment that day, and I was only shocked that the little boy was dying, but I forgot to check whether this divine bead was still by the little boy's side, and now it seems that it fell into Fengming City unintentionally, and I don't know which guy from the Green Snake Demon Clan will pick it up!"
After that, his expression was extremely resentful, and he was obviously extremely angry about this matter.
After saying these words, the old Heifeng, who was originally scolding and accusing, didn't know what to say for a while. After all, he is not one of those simple-minded ordinary demon clans under the mountain, a big demon who can cultivate to the realm of earth demons, relying only on natural brute strength, it is definitely a fantasy. It was because he also understood that the brocade-robed young man had said so much, in fact, to a certain extent, he was also explaining to him euphemistically, and in connection with the identity of the little boy, Lao Heifeng also knew that the brocade-robed young man had reached such a point, and there was really no better way.
"Five days, is it really going to be five days?" Old Heifeng smiled bitterly, looked at the city in the distance, and seemed to be a little older in his expression.
The young man in the brocade robe was in high spirits, knowing that he had finally moved this senior, how dare he slack off at the moment, so he quickly nodded and agreed, and said: "Yes, as long as the senior gives me another five days, you also know that the identity of the little boy is there, and for me, nothing is really better than ......."
"Okay, you don't have to say it!" Old Heifeng said categorically, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I will let go of this old face and the prestige of this hundred years, and press them for another five days, but after five days, no matter what, I will ask Gongzi to help me recover Fengming City." ”
The young man in the brocade robe saluted, his hands clenched into fists with a solemn face, and he said word by word:
"Dare to disobey!"
Old Heifeng smiled bitterly, shook his head, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper at this moment, after sighing, he seemed to remember something, or diverted the topic, so that the solemn and solemn atmosphere improved slightly, and said lightly: "I heard of the Hongshen Bead once in the past that day, it is said that it is a royal court treasure, and it seems to be more than one?"
The brocade-robed young man nodded and said, "That's true, in addition to this Tianhong Divine Bead, there is another Orb, which is a pair, but after the chaos ten thousand years ago, it has long been lost." Legend has it that this pair of jewels is my demon clan's predecessor Great Sage with the ability to reach the sky, killed an ancient dragon, and took the two dragon eyes gathered by his body of elite to refine, there is a mysterious and unpredictable creation of magical powers, but over the years, the lost bead and not to mention, now this Tianhong Divine Pearl, few people can understand the wonder, but only a few pieces of power, can still save the life of the little boy. It's just that now ......"
He let out a long sigh, the look of remorse on his face was revealed, and he said hatefully: "Don't let me find the guy who stole the orb, or I will kill him!"
※※※
A hundred miles away, in the city of Fengming.
Outside the small library building, a little black pig lying on the steps looked a little sleepy and listless, and even the ears of the two little pigs drooped down, and they were about to fall asleep soon.
But for some reason, as if sensing something, it suddenly raised its head, looked around a little blankly, and then lazily buried its head on the ground again.
"Uh......"
It burped and then fell asleep again.
