Chapter 406: Li Huo and his wife, Bat King reappears
Three days later.
Seven Nations Alliance, Lihuo Palace Mountain Gate.
Purple Tianfeng Cave.
The palace owner, Chen Ruyan, sat upright, wearing a beaded crown and a blue palace skirt. She was graceful and elegant with her graceful appearance.
"Chen'er, are you sure that the real person who came here is named Nie? Please describe his appearance."
Hearing the report from the disciple with tied hair below, Chen Ruyan frowned slightly and confirmed again and again.
"The man looked like a young man. He was dressed in blue and had a loud voice. He called himself Senior Brother Nie from Lihuo Palace and asked the Supreme Elder to come out and see him. However, the person who came was an expert in the late stage of pill formation, and the monks who received him did not dare to neglect him. "
“I understand.”
Chen Ruyan sighed secretly in his heart.
“The letter Nie Yuan left back then was just a unilateral agreement, and Lihuo Palace did not agree. It is impossible to repay him with a [Heavenly Infant Fruit], not to mention that there is no such condition in the door.”
When Chen Ruyan heard the news and mentioned the words "Tian Ying Guo", a bright light flashed in Elder Dai's eyes.
This is an important help for the Li Fire Palace to return to its peak.
“Well, let’s try his tone first. Elder Dai will follow me there.”
Unexpectedly, I suddenly came to the door today.
In their actions that year, they also took risks, took chestnuts from the fire among big forces, and even killed a Zhendan elder.
In the pavilion, Chen Ruyan saw an old man wearing a Danxia Taoist robe and with white hair like frost.
The elders of the outer sect, as if they had been pardoned, bowed their hands and bowed out of the hall.
Even she and her husband Wang Feng gradually faded away from this person in their memories.
At this time, two rays of light that were in the middle and late stages of forming pills fell on the outer peak hall.
With the help of the blood bead, Wang Feng and his wife secretly tracked down the seriously injured Xie clan leader of the Tianluo sect, and then used the bloodline secret method of the Tianluo ancestor to open the secret treasure spot.
At the same time, she quickly flew out of Zitian Peak and headed towards the outer peak hall.
“It is undeniable that Nie Yuan helped Lihuo Palace regain its glory. However, according to our speculation, he may have inherited the mantle of the previous true king, Master Lihuo, and he only provided a piece of information back then, which was regarded as giving back to the sect.”
“What does Elder Dai mean?”
“Let the elders who receive you be more polite and socialize for a while first.”
Elder Dai was startled for a moment and stroked his white beard.
Elder Dai had no expression on his face and said calmly:
Chen Ruyan gave an explanation, then sent a messenger talisman to her husband who was in seclusion, waiting for the other party's reply.
Chen Ruyan's eyes turned slightly, she didn't completely agree, but she felt it made some sense.
More than ninety years ago, Wang Feng was still in the late stage of Jindan cultivation and received important information from senior brother Nie Yuan.
After Wang Feng gave birth to a baby, he finally brought the Lihuo Palace back to its former glory, and established a firm foothold in the Seven Nations Alliance, becoming a powerful force in the Nascent Soul.
“Elder Dai, Senior Brother Nie from back then is back…”
“Senior Brother Nie?”
“Meet the palace lord.”
The disciples on Yaofeng saluted, bowed and stepped back.
Lu Changan opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman in palace attire. She was about thirty years old, mature, plump, noble and graceful.
I thought that Senior Brother Nie, who was kind to Lihuo Palace, had disappeared for so many years and would never appear again.
“Palace Master, Elder Dai.”
Lihuo Palace, Waifeng Hall.
As the Supreme Elder and the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, if Wang Feng appears again later, even if their talks break down, there is still room for turning around.
He stroked his beard again and smiled lightly, "If Nie Yuan had the ability back then, he would have done it himself. Why would he need to do it with our help?"
Chen Ruyan discussed with Elder Dai because this person was quite senior and was the only surviving Elder Jiedan who participated in the operation that year, except for his wife and his wife.
Currently, the monks in Lihuo Palace have no impression of this senior brother Nie Yuan, and they don't even know that he exists.
Chen Ruyan was not in a hurry when she saw that her husband had not replied yet.
Because of this harvest, Wang Feng’s preparations for Yuanying resources went more smoothly. He was originally the only immortal golden elixir and Nascent Soul seed after the destruction of the Lihuo Palace, which gained the greatest tilt in inheritance resources.
Passing by a medicine peak, Chen Ruyan escaped from the light and fell.
In that operation, more than one immature [Tianying Fruit] was obtained, and the treasure spot contained many precious strategic reserve resources.
A young man in blue with an imposing figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, is aloof and sits quietly, making the accompanying outer sect elders slightly embarrassed.
…
Decades later, through strategic resource replacement, Wang Feng strengthened his chances of having a baby.
Elder Dai paused and gave a compromise plan:
“Let’s negotiate nicely first and give Nie Yuan some other compensation. In the past hundred years, this person has not had a baby and missed the golden age for promotion. What is the meaning of the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] to him? Is this the truth?”
“I’m as old as smoke. The Lord of Lihuo Palace has met Senior Brother Nie.”
Chen Ruyan smiled slightly and gave a simple blessing.
As the palace master of the Nascent Soul Force, this move is considered polite.
“Well, Junior Sister Chen, you don’t have to be polite.”
Lu Changan nodded and had no impression of Wang Feng's Taoist companion.
She formed a golden elixir in her early years. When she first came to the Seven Nations Alliance, Wang Feng was still in the early stage of the golden elixir, and this woman had not yet formed an elixir.
At that time, in order to lure Wang Feng out to meet him, the rock rat took away his Taoist companion's shoes and socks, which should have come from the current Palace Master Chen Ruyan.
Now, one of the couple is the supreme elder and the other is the palace master, fully controlling the power of Lihuo Palace.
“As expected of Senior Brother Nie as mentioned by the Supreme Elder, he has a great personality.”
Elder Dai saw that the young man in blue was sitting still and just nodded to the palace master. He couldn't help but feel angry and said in a sarcastic tone.
In any case, Chen Ruyan is the lord of the first palace.
For the sake of Wang Zhenjun, most Nascent Soul monks would be a little bit shy when they see him.
Although Chen Ruyan felt that Nie Yuan was a bit too much, she thought that her husband and Lihuo Palace really owed this man, so she didn't care.
“Why doesn’t Wang Feng come out to see Nie in person?”
Lu Changan's tone was cold and he looked unhappy.
His current identity is Nie Yuan. The character he played in the past was quite arrogant and there was no need to be polite.
Furthermore, he was too benevolent to Wang Feng and Lihuo Palace. Lu Changan felt that it was too much for them not to come out to meet them in person.
Let alone the intelligence from that year, let Lihuo Palace obtain the resources of Tianluo Sect’s treasure land.
In order to fulfill Master Lihuo’s last wish and transform his samsara life in his early years, Lu Changan personally came to the Seven Nations Alliance and brought three helpers to kill the pill-forming monks from the hostile forces.
In the earlier Foundation Establishment Period, Lu Changan and Wang Feng took the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce's transnational spiritual ship to avoid the war of cultivating immortals.
At that time, Wang Feng, as the elder's grandson, was hunted down by the Xuanyin Demon Cult. He was seriously injured, his foundation was damaged, and his cultivation level dropped.
Later on, it was Lu Changan who helped him warm up his foundation. Although at that time, it was because of a transaction that he obtained the third-level spiritual wood to refine the life-saving talisman.
Without Lu Changan, Wang Feng may not be able to become the True Monarch of Nascent Soul today, and how could he and his wife be as successful as they are today?
…
"Fellow Daoist Nie, the Supreme Elder is in retreat. I don't know how long it will take to see him. If you have anything to do with Daoist Nie, it's better to discuss it with me and the palace master first."
Elder Dai said in a slow and steady manner.
In any case, Lihuo Palace is not the party asking for debt.
This person is aggressive. It is more in the interests of the sect to burn off his energy first and then slowly negotiate for compensation.
Nie Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, he stared at the old Elder Dai, and shouted coldly:
“Wang Feng is here to call Nie a senior brother! What is your status? Are you qualified to talk to Nie?”
That voice was like a wake-up call, containing powerful majesty.
"you…"
Elder Dai’s heart trembled, his face turned red, and he was extremely embarrassed.
The opponent's faint majestic aura far exceeds that of ordinary people in the late stage of pill formation, and they instinctively dare not disobey.
Chen Ruyan was slightly startled, as if he had not expected that Nie Yuan would be so powerful and domineering.
Entering the Lihuo Palace alone, facing many powerful pill-forming masters, as well as the Nascent Soul Master sitting behind him, he still has such confidence.
“Brother Nie, I have sent a message to your husband before, so he may not be able to check it immediately while in seclusion.”
Chen Ruyan forced a smile, even though she was a little unhappy, she didn't get angry on the spot.
Before my husband had a baby, he admired Senior Brother Nie very much and remembered his kindness.
Moreover, she was vaguely aware that Nie Yuan's majesty far exceeded that of the alchemy monks, and he was calm and unhurried, so he might have something to rely on.
“Does Mrs. Wang have the right to give the [Tian Ying Fruit] that she got that year to Nie now? If she can do it, Nie doesn’t have to disturb Wang Zhenjun.”
Lu Changan said decisively.
The so-called Zhenjun's retreat is all an excuse. As long as he is not locked up in life and death, as a Taoist monk, Chen Ruyan must have emergency contact information to prompt him to come out immediately.
“This…that [Heavenly Infant Fruit]…”
Chen Ruyan's beautiful eyes twinkled and she looked guilty, naturally unable to make the decision.
“Nie’s patience is limited, let Junior Brother Wang come out.”
Lu Changan closed his eyes and said nothing, not wanting to argue with a woman.
He is now in the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance, and he will have to travel through a long and deserted area before he can reach the Wealth Alliance.
If you reveal your Nascent Soul level magic power, you will immediately be captured by the Seven Nations Alliance's induction array.
The Seven Nations Alliance knew that the Six Demonic Sects would also notice him.
Lu Changan didn’t want to be ambushed by Yuanying old monsters from the Beast King Valley, Wujian Sect, Blood Spirit Sect and other demonic forces on his way back.
This time he came to collect debts and revealed the identity of Senior Brother Nie and the late Jiedan, which was enough to alarm the decision-makers of Lihuo Palace.
If Lihuo Palace is truly grateful, even if he is not promoted to Nascent Soul, he should be treated as an important guest.
…
Just when Chen Ruyan and Elder Dai were embarrassed and in a dilemma.
A powerful spiritual consciousness seemed to be swept from the nine heavens, accompanied by the subtle spiritual pressure of the Nascent Soul Lord.
“Haha! We haven’t seen each other for so many years. When did Senior Brother Nie become so impatient?”
The clear and mellow male laughter came from above the main hall.
“I’ve met the Supreme Elder.”
Elder Dai and the monks outside the hall saluted at the same time.
“Husband.”
Chen Ruyan's eyes were filled with joy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Lu Changan who remained motionless.
The voice just fell.
A handsome man with a fair face wearing a purple and green robe appeared in the main hall.
The man was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, with two strands of beautiful beard, elegant demeanor, and came leisurely with his hands behind his back.
“Junior Brother Wang, after you achieve Nascent Soul, your situation will be really different.”
Lu Changan said neither salty nor bland.
It is difficult to connect the extraordinary magnanimity of Wang Zhenjun in front of him with the down-and-out guy from Yunyan Fairy City and Xunxian Mansion.
Noticing Lu Changan's tone of voice, Chen Ruyan and Elder Dai looked at each other in disbelief.
Nie Yuan really dares to trust him?
Not only do I have no respect for my Lord Yuanying, but I also regard myself as my senior brother and ridicule him in a strange way.
Wang Feng walked forward, his spiritual consciousness casually scanning Nie Yuan, but was bounced away by a more powerful spiritual consciousness. He couldn't help but groaned, and his face turned red and white.
The spiritual consciousness from Nie Yuan is obviously stronger than Wang Feng, at least reaching the peak of the early Yuanying stage.
Although the confrontation between the two Nascent Soul-level consciousnesses was obscure, Chen Ruyan and Elder Dai were not ordinary alchemy masters. They were well-informed and saw that Wang Feng was at a disadvantage and suffered a hidden loss.
“Could he also...”
Chen Ruyan and Elder Dai were stunned, and an answer emerged in their minds.
Mrs. Wang’s elegant and bright smile couldn’t help but freeze.
Elder Dai was sweating profusely, and the dissatisfaction and many calculations in his heart disappeared in an instant.
“As expected of Senior Brother Nie, whether it is his magical powers or martial arts, or his level of cultivation, he is far beyond the reach of Junior Brother.”
Wang Feng’s expression changed briefly, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He took back his hands, his sleeves were drooping, and he bowed his hands in an honest manner.
“Well, Junior Brother Wang’s promotion to the Nascent Soul Stage has not failed me, Senior Brother, for my silent efforts behind the scenes.”
Lu Changan nodded and stood up, raising his hand in return.
The two practiced brotherly etiquette, and Wang Zhenjun's posture was slightly lower.
“My brothers and sisters have met Senior Brother Nie, but we didn’t treat him well just now. I hope you can forgive me...”
Chen Ruyan met again and apologized.
“Meet Mr. Nie Zhen.”
Elder Dai bowed, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the young man in blue.
He did not dare to stay longer, so he left the Waifeng Hall on the pretext that Yaofeng had something to deal with.
…
In the main hall, Lu Changan and Wang Feng took their seats again.
Wang Feng looked at Senior Brother Nie, who had mysteriously disappeared for nearly a hundred years. His voice and appearance had basically remained unchanged.
He felt complicated and had an unconcealable sense of frustration.
They both have immortal golden elixirs. When they met at the Seven Nations Alliance, Nie Yuan's strength was far beyond that of the second generation immortal like him.
Wang Feng was the only Nascent Soul seed after the defeat of Lihuo Palace. He devoted all his efforts to cultivating it with the entire sect's inheritance reserves to hit the Nascent Soul stage.
During the training period of the Demonic War, he also had some opportunities, especially the information provided by Senior Brother Nie.
Wang Feng originally thought that with good opportunities and the advantages of the sect’s background, he could be further ahead.
Senior Brother Nie was reduced to a casual cultivator, missed the opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Infant Fruit, and was surpassed by him. It was natural that there was a gap between the two of them.
When he learned that Brother Nie, who was in the late stage of pill formation, came to visit, Wang Feng took good care of himself, maintained his true king's demeanor, and redeemed himself from the grievance of being suppressed back then.
However, reality gave him a heavy blow again.
Your senior brother is still a senior brother after all.
Nie Yuan appeared this time. Judging from his spiritual consciousness alone, it was obvious that he was ahead of him in cultivation level.
Wang Feng didn’t know that Lu Changan was actually many years behind him when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
When Lu Changan left Daqing, Wang Feng's cultivation had almost reached the peak of the Immortal Golden Elixir.
After all, this person is a genius with earth spirit roots. He has received the resources from the defeated Nascent Soul forces and does not have the age limit of the Evergreen Skill.
"Since Senior Brother Nie has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, why did he come to ask for the Tianying Fruit? To be honest, in order to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the entire Lihuo Palace was consumed. With the invasion of demons and dangers everywhere, Junior Brother had no choice but to leave that A heavenly infant fruit…”
Wang Feng looked ashamed and expressed his difficulties.
Lu Changan secretly cursed, when you showed off your appearance not long ago, you didn’t show any guilt or apology.
He was sure that Lihuo Palace could not get the [Sky Infant Fruit] now.
Wang Feng and his wife did not want to give up, but compensated in other ways.
As for the specifications of compensation, it depends on the negotiation skills, and more importantly, Lu Changan’s strength.
If Nie Yuan comes to collect debts and is still in the Dan Dan period, the compensation standard must be lower and his attitude must be lowered.
“Who said Nie couldn’t use the Tianying Fruit and practiced in seclusion these years? Nie also left behind disciples and descendants who need to be cultivated.”
Lu Changan was so rude that Wang Feng was speechless.
If Lu Changan replies that the Tianying Fruit is indeed useless, then the value of the debt collection will be low.
Chen Ruyan smiled sweetly and suggested softly:
“How about exchanging [Tian Ying Fruit] for equivalent spiritual resources?”
“Yes, Wang is willing to pay a slight premium of 10% or 20%.”
Wang Feng agreed.
Compared with the opportunities they had received in the past, Lihuo Palace's promotion to Nascent Soul power was only a key ingredient in the Huaying Pill, so it was nothing.
“After nearly a hundred years, how can there be such simple equivalence of value?”
Lu Changan sneered and refused to buy it.
If Wang Feng and his wife had entertained them with gratitude before, he would have just accepted it. But things went against expectations. How can we let them go smoothly now?
“In the early days, my senior brother was just a pill-forming monk, and the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] was very important. It can be said to be the most important thing in my heart!”
Lu Changan glanced at Wang Feng and Chen Ruyan, and asked with a half-smile.
“I would like to ask Junior Brother Wang, is the most important thing in your heart at the moment willing to pay off the debt of the main medicine in the past?”
"this…"
Wang Feng and his wife Chen Ruyan looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
Chen Ruyan lowered his eyes and said nothing. His face was slightly red under his temple hair, and he was a little embarrassed.
The couple had a very good relationship, so Wang Feng naturally could not deny what Lu Changan said.
“Okay, I won’t embarrass Junior Brother Wang anymore.”
Lu Changan’s lips curled up with a trace of amusement, and he spoke out what he wanted.
"If the Lihuo Palace can take out fourth-level life-extending pills or fruits, fourth-level mid-level or above heaven-level spiritual bird wing frames, fourth-level mid-level or above spiritual wood or wood-based spiritual objects... any of them, you can repay the current year's debt. Tianying Fruit.”
After hearing the above conditions, Wang Feng's expression changed slightly. The value of these items exceeds the Tianying Fruit and is very rare in the world of immortality.
With the current background of Lihuo Palace, it is difficult to come up with it.
Chen Ruyan hesitated and said: "There is only one third-level middle-grade longevity fruit in the treasure house of this palace. It was originally planned to be exchanged for military merits in the Seven Nations Alliance and donated to True Lord Aoki. But later True Lord Aoki left the Eastern Region..."
Hearing this, Lu Changan wanted to curse.
This couple almost committed an act of capitalizing on the enemy.
Wang Feng also added: "Junior brother, there are two pieces of sky fir trees here, which are still some years away from the fourth-level mid-level."
“That’s it, let’s make do.”
Lu Changan didn't want to waste time, collect debts, and make up for his loss.
After collecting the debt.
He warned Wang Feng and his wife not to reveal their identity in the Nascent Soul stage to avoid attracting the attention of the Seven Nations Alliance and the Demonic Alliance.
Wang Feng agreed and sent a message to Elder Dai who had left before.
…
Lu Changan chatted with Wang Feng and his wife for another half an hour, and gained a higher level understanding of the situation in the Eastern Region of Daqing.
In the past few decades, the six demonic sects ceased fighting, and Aoki True Lord was only a partial turning point.
There is also the lucky son of Jing Kingdom, Zhenjun Lingyu in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. This man had defeated the leader of the Beast King Valley in his early years, but was later injured in a battle with the leader of the Wujian Sect.
After being injured and recuperating for decades, Zhenjun Lingyu improved his magical powers and became one of the leaders of the ten sects of Xuanmen.
This person's interference made the other side of the Beast King Valley feel like they were stuck in the throat, unable to invade the Kingdom of Jing head-on.
In addition, there is another saying that the Six Demonic Sects have invaded the Eastern Region for so many years and occupied a lot of territory. Due to their different efforts and different progress and gains, internal differences and conflicts have arisen in the distribution of territory and interests.
Hence, in the decades before the truce, the Six Demonic Sects were reorganizing their rear areas and digesting the strength of their existing territories.
The remaining three countries of the Guardian Alliance are much weaker than the Seven Nations Alliance, and they have once again stopped fighting with the Beast King Valley.
This time, the two sides entered into a more subtle and ambiguous relationship, which was also beyond Lu Changan's expectation.
…
Wang Feng and his wife sent Lu Changan out of the hall.
“Senior Brother Nie, you really don’t plan to stay at Shanmen and join forces with your junior brother to lead Lihuo Palace into a more glorious era.”
Wang Feng hesitated again and again and tried to persuade him to stay.
Now that the Six Demonic Sects are ready to attack, any Nascent Soul force in the Seven Nations Alliance will face challenges.
“Haha! Senior brother, if I really return to Lihuo Palace, I may make my junior brother feel uneasy.”
Lu Changan smiled and shook his head.
Even if Wang Feng knew half of his strength, he would not dare to say these words.
Actually, before Lu Changan returned to Daqing, he planned Lihuo Palace as a backup place for practice.
But the priority is lower than that of Jinyun Valley.
If Zhang Tieshan fails in Jinyun Valley, he will consider Lihuo Palace.
In Lu Changan's fourth-level divination, it is a high probability that Wang Feng will be promoted to Nascent Soul.
This son has experienced ups and downs in his life since he was a second-generation Immortal, and fled to a foreign country. He has experienced ups and downs throughout the Demonic War, from the defeat of the Lihuo Palace to its reconstruction and revitalization.
Qualifications, background, opportunities, and mental tempering are all indispensable, and achieving the Nascent Soul stage is a matter of course.
In fact, in this era of demonic war, all the high-level monks who survived the war, each of them had a unique experience, could write legendary chapters and become the protagonists in their personal biographies.
…
Flying thousands of miles away from the Fire Palace, Lu Changan quickly changed his identity through the Baihuan Mask in a corner where no one could see him.
“When I appear in the Wei Dao League with my Nascent Soul cultivation, Wang Feng and his wife may be suspicious of the identities of True Lord Evergreen and Senior Brother Nie.”
Lu Changan thought to himself.
After all, the time when Lu Changan and Senior Brother Nie disappeared and appeared was too coincidental, and the time when they broke through the realm was almost the same.
However, the Yuanying stage has already stood at the top of the world of immortality, especially in the Daqing realm, where there are no great Yuanying monks.
In the past, many secrets or identity vests were exposed, which was no longer harmful, and even made it interesting to talk about.
A few days later.
Lu Changan, who changed his identity, approached the border of the Seven Nations Alliance at the speed of an ordinary monk.
Once he leaves the borders of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, he will resume his identity as Lu Changan and speed up his return to the Liang Kingdom of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Um?
Lu Changan, who was on his way, suddenly noticed the fluctuation warning of the Seven Nations Alliance's sensing array.
When this happens, it is usually high-level demon cultivators or even Nascent Soul Lord who break into the borders of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
Half a day later.
A familiar aura of True Lord Nascent Soul flew across the clouds, heading towards the border of the Seven Nations Alliance.
That Nascent Soul aura is none other than Wang Feng, whose name is "Zhenjun Zhenjun".
Lu Changan frowned slightly and made some calculations with his fingers. He didn't notice any signs of crisis.
He probably judged that there was friction between the Demonic Way and the Seven Nations Alliance on the border, and the situation had become somewhat tense in recent years.
The Lihuo Palace is in the direction of the Wei Dao Alliance and is a relatively close Nascent Soul force.
It didn’t take long.
The aura of the Blood Dao Yuanying True Monarch appeared on the border of the Seven Nations Alliance, which made Lu Changan feel familiar.
He looked at the rolling blood clouds in the distant sky, accompanied by densely packed **** bats. The smell of blood that spread was nauseating.
Lu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, and some memories from that year came to mind:
“It turns out to be this old monster from the Blood Spirit Sect…”
