Iwakaze Castle
After taking the teleportation array all the way back to Yanfeng City, Hu Mingxian and his party went straight to the Dongfang family's mansion and saw Dongfang Xueqin meditating.
Dongfang Xueqin was a little surprised by the arrival of several people, and said, "It's only been a month and a half, and you're back? Have you found all the materials?"
"Sister-in-law, we've found them all."
With that said, Hu Mingxian handed over a space ring, which contained the wings of the invisible cicada, the fire cloud juice of the magic cloud vine, and all the dragon star stones.
After receiving the space ring, Dongfang Xueqin did not check it immediately. She just glanced up and down at Hu Mingxian, whose uniform was in tatters...
Originally, according to her calculations, the Fire Cloud Juice of Demonic Cloud Vine was not difficult to obtain. With the strength of this group of people, it would not be difficult to hunt down a sixth-level Demonic Cloud Vine. What was difficult was the wings of the Phantom Winged Invisible Cicada and the Dragon Star Stone.
Based on the characteristics of the Phantom Winged Invisible Cicada, even if Hu Mingxian has a powerful soul, it will take at least half a month to obtain it. Moreover, if there is no rainy day, this time will almost be extended indefinitely. Importantly Yes, there has been no rainy weather in Maple Fire City during this period of time.
What is more difficult is the Dragon Star Stone. Going deep into Feilong Ridge is an extremely difficult and dangerous task, not to mention it is the Dragon Tomb, a forbidden area of the Yanfeng Dragon Clan. Others do not know the situation of the Dragon Tomb. As the top of the Dragon Mansion As a caster, Dongfang Xueqin knows a thing or two about the origin of various materials and the surrounding conditions of the materials.
Based on her estimate of the Dragon Tomb, the only way to enter the Dragon Tomb is to divert the tiger away from the mountain. And among the four of them, only Hu Mingxian's speed can compete with the seventh-order rock peak dragon. Even the Young Supreme's Dongfang Yunfeng cannot be used as a bait, and the dragon tomb contains the pressure of the giant dragon of the Yanfeng dragon clan. It is destined that only Hu Mingxian, who caused the "Dragon Leaping North Ridge" vision, can be the one to enter the dragon tomb.
Therefore, just because she wanted to get the Dragon Star Stone, she felt that Hu Mingxian and his party had little chance. For this reason, she was also prepared to not have the assistance of the Dragon Star Stone.
After all, without the Dragon Star Stone, there is just a lack of fuel to enhance the power of the Sky Fire, which will cause the refining of the materials to take a long time, but it will not essentially affect the final casting result.
At this moment, looking at Hu Mingxian's Xuanjiao Ice Silkworm Clothes given by her husband back then, only the tattered pants and skirts on both sides were left. Although Dongfang Xueqin was curious about how Hu Mingxian found all the materials, there was no doubt that it was Lie to her.
After suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Dongfang Xueqin looked at the three women and said: "In that case, Yun Feng, you should return to the Tianlong Realm immediately and refine the Skyfire Crystal Stone first. The Long Family will make big moves against the Dragon Realm in a while. It’s up to you juniors to take action.
The two of you, too, go back to retreat. You are not allowed to run anywhere until this kid comes out. "
Before Dongfang Yunfeng could ask questions, Hu Mingxian's face hardened and he said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law three, what are the Long family's actions against the Dragon Realm?"
Hearing this, the three women all looked at Dongfang Xueqin.
Dongfang Xueqin's sword eyebrows slightly condensed and said: "A month ago, the Long family sent people to the major families and forces, saying that they were opening the entrance to the Dragon Realm and needed their help. The condition was that all the major families and forces would be able to do so by then. Send a team into the Dragon Realm, and the Dragon family will not take any of the proceeds."
"Master, then I will go back now."
Dongfang Yunfeng didn't ask any further questions, and immediately said goodbye to his master. When he returned this time, he wanted to go into seclusion to refine the Skyfire Crystal Stone, and secondly, he also had to arrange for candidates to enter the Dragon Realm.
"Brother Xian, then I will accompany Sister Yunhe to retreat."
"Mingxian, Fei'er and I will go to Wanbao Tower. When your affairs are over, come find us."
Xiao Fei'er and Xia Yunhe greeted Hu Mingxian and caught up with Dongfang Yunfeng who was leaving.
After leaving Dongfang Mansion, the three women nodded and separated. Dongfang Yunfeng went straight to the teleportation array, while Xiao Fei'er and Xia Yunhe also went straight to Wanbao Tower.
When they arrived at Wanbao Tower, Xia Yunhe handed a piece of photo jade to He Zhuohuan and then took Xiao Fei'er to retreat.
Here, after the three girls left, Dongfang Xueqin did not delay. He took Hu Mingxian with him and appeared in the main hall of Yanchi Palace in a flash. He got Dongfang Xueqin.
Yan Li, the eldest prince of the Yanchi Dynasty, who had heard from Xueqin, had also been waiting for a long time.
However, Yan Li was not alone. Behind him, there was a man and a woman, similar in age to Hu Mingxian.
The man on the left has beautiful features, fair complexion, and almost no blush. He seems to have a sickly pallor, which is in sharp contrast with Hu Mingxian's bronze complexion. The faint smile at the corner of his mouth is like a smile rising from a basin of clear water. Ripples give people a sense of elegance.
Her long hair is tied up with a simple hosta on her head. She is wearing a light blue cloud-white gown with a transparent gauze cover. She holds a dark red-covered book in her long and fair hands. Overall, she looks like she is living alone. For a long time, I was a weak scholar who studied poetry and books.
His name is Yan Qing, and he is the only disciple and adopted son of the eldest prince Yan Li.
The woman on the right is wearing a tight black leather armor, which perfectly highlights her proud and concave figure. A pair of short swords and daggers are crisscrossed behind her waist as thin as a willow, and her short ear-length hair looks extremely capable. .
There is nothing special about her appearance. Just like Lu Cailing, she is the kind of person who is not attractive at first glance, but after looking at her for a long time, you will find that she looks good no matter what.
To put it bluntly, the facial features are all of stunning beauty, but they are all concentrated on one face, and instead cover up each other's stunning beauty.
Her name is Yanying, and she is the only child of the eldest prince Yanli.
The two grew up together and practiced together. The eldest prince Yan Li has been waiting to marry them. In this way, Yan Qing can truly become his own son.
Both of their cultivations are at the ninth level of the Divine Soul, and judging from the fluctuations in their auras, they both have just broken through.
Under the introduction of the eldest prince Yan Li, the two parties became acquainted.
Dongfang Xueqin glanced at the two of them meaningfully, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and asked Yan Li: "Yan Li, has the Long family also sent someone to contact the Yanchi Dynasty? It seems that the Yanchi Dynasty has always been neutral. It seems that he also wants to get involved in the chaos that will follow!"
Yan Li smiled awkwardly and said: "Senior is joking... It's just that the opportunity in the Dragon Realm is ahead, and I just want my children to experience it! At present, the golden age of Shengwu has risen, and there have been countless changes, and what I have done is just I just want them to have a certain ability to protect themselves in the future.”
"Oh?! Really?"
Dongfang Xueqin, however, refused to give up and said: "If your Yanchi Dynasty makes it clear and they know how to make a choice between advancement and retreat, I don't think the major families and forces will make things difficult for them. Now, you lead them I’m afraid it’s not that simple for people to come and get to know my brother!”
"Hey... I really can't hide anything from senior..."
Yan Li gave a bitter smile and said: "The secret realm of the Dragon Realm is extremely dangerous and people's hearts are mixed. No one can guarantee whether the other families will be able to hold back. The two of them are not as strong as the Young Supreme. If they really meet If something like this happens, we will have to ask little friend Mingxian to save their lives."
"The eldest prince is joking."
Hu Mingxian immediately declined and said: "I am already a thorn in the flesh of various major families and forces, especially the Long family. They don't come to trouble me until now, just because they can't get away from the affairs of the Dragon Realm, let alone Can I enter the Dragon Realm? Even if the Long family lets me in, if Yan Qing and Yan Ying have this relationship with me, they will only cause unnecessary trouble.
What's more, you asked me to save them, but if I am in danger and besieged by all parties, will you let them save me?
Of course, I'm not saying that I expect or need their rescue, but wouldn't this attitude of "I promised to save your life, but you refused to save me" disturb their Taoism? Or does it mean that the two of them don't care about this position at all, and only care about their own life and death?
To put it another ten thousand steps back, if you ask me to save two of his lives, what will happen after that? If the two of them are in danger again, do they still want me to take action? Or, what you originally wanted to say was to let me save their lives until they leave the Dragon Realm! "
As soon as these words came out, the huge palace hall suddenly fell into silence. Neither Yan Li, who had been prepared, nor Dongfang Xueqin, who seemed to have seen through everything, did not expect Hu Mingxian to speak so straightforwardly.
, so straightforward!
According to common sense, everyone would just pretend to be confused about the situation Hu Mingxian mentioned and would not bring it to the table. Moreover, this time Hu Mingxian wanted to use the Skyfire Casting Platform of Yanchi Dynasty, so he owed Yanchi A favor from the imperial court allowed Hu Mingxian to save the lives of Yan Qing and Yan Ying in the Dragon Realm, which was considered a return of the favor.
In fact, if a person who is diplomatic in dealing with things encounters a situation like this, even if he or she is unwilling to do so, he will verbally agree to it and will not make the situation so embarrassing at all.
The reason why Dongfang Xueqin questioned Yan Li so relentlessly was not to break the casserole and get to the bottom of the matter. He just wanted to find out what the attitude of the Yanchi Dynasty was. Even then, Yan Qing and Yan Li would not help Hu Mingxian against the enemy. , at least he will not become Hu Mingxian’s enemy.
Of course, since the Yanchi Dynasty has decided to take a trip into this muddy water, Dongfang Xueqin still hopes that Yan Qing and Yan Ying can stand by Hu Mingxian. Together with Dongfang Yunfeng, although the absolute gap in combat power is still too large, at least There will not be a situation where one person can block a group of powerful people.
But Hu Mingxian's words were so straightforward that it made it difficult for Dongfang Xueqin to say anything more.
Behind Yan Li, seeing Hu Mingxian speaking like this, Yan Qing's face didn't react at all. There was still a smile on her lips, but Yan Ying's eyebrows were furrowed and she glanced up and down at Hu Mingxian. She seemed to have a lot to say, maybe because Yan Li had already told her before she came. After saying hello, I could only hold it in.
"That's it! Just think of it as repaying the favor this time. After all, I don't really like to owe favors to people I don't know well, especially those whose positions are uncertain."
Just when everyone in the room didn't know what to say, Hu Mingxian said without mercy: "However, I will say the ugly things first. I will only confirm whether I can take action based on my own judgment. If I take action, it will be for I have brought about a certain death situation myself, so sorry, the two of them can only seek happiness for themselves.
In addition, don’t think that what I said was to force the two of them and the Yanchi Dynasty to take my side. It was not meant to be sarcastic or derogatory to the Yanchi Dynasty. It was because I really didn’t need it and it would only be a burden to me. , you may even suffer disaster because of me.
The reason why I say that is because if the Yanchi Dynasty is neutral, it should have a neutral attitude. If it takes a side, it should also side with the side with a greater chance of winning. At least, if I want to kill, I will only kill Long Ying's level first. There is still time for the two of them to escape. "
"Haha...little friend Mingxian was joking...joking..."
Seeing that Hu Mingxian's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and even pushing the Yanchi Dynasty to the opposite side, Yan Li quickly apologized, avoided the topic, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Skyfire Forging Platform."
Ran
Hu Mingxian didn't seem to intend to be so vague. He looked at Yan Li very seriously and said: "First Prince, I am not joking. I might as well tell you that before going to the Forest of Flowing Fire, I destroyed countless people in Maple Fire City. The 1367th branch of the Shadow Pavilion, do you still dare to let the two of them have anything to do with me?"
"..."
"..."
…
The moment the words fell, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Yan Li, Yan Qing, Yan Ying, and even Dongfang Xue Qin looked at Hu Mingxian in shock and horror...
A branch of Wuying Pavilion was destroyed!
This is something no one on the mainland would dare to do!
