However, Prince Rong did not tell him that the Red Jade Lion was actually the leader of the Blood Cult.
Looking at Blood kneeling in front of her, Nian Bing calmly said, "Stand up."
Blood stood up and respectfully said, "Leader, may I ask Demonic Lion …" Speaking to this point, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness.
Demonic Lion was referring to Prince Rong. Prince Rong had told Nian Bing before that in the Blood Lion Cult, there were people in all kinds of professions. Everyone only had a code name and no real name. His code name was Demonic Lion.
Nian Bing understood Blood's meaning and said, "Demonic Lion is fine, but he passed this Blood Lion Token to me. I think I understand his meaning now. From now on, I am the leader of the Blood Lion Cult."
Blood's expression turned solemn and said, "Leader, please give me your code name. I will send it to every hall and every banner as soon as possible. We will await your orders at any time. "
Nian Bing's eyes flashed and said, "My code name will be White Hair. Demonic Lion did not tell me too much about the cult. Now, tell me about the situation of the Blood Lion Cult. "
Blood nodded and said, "Our cult has been established for 1364 years. Our cult's system is strict and we follow orders. The highest leader is the cult leader who holds the Blood Lion Token. Every generation of cult leaders will pass down the Blood Lion Token before they die and send the message to the Blood Lion Hall, the highest elder hall of the cult, for confirmation. This is to prevent the Blood Lion Token from being stolen. Under the cult leader, the Blood Lion Hall's seven elders are in charge. The Blood Lion Hall is jointly managed by the seven elders. There are five hundred blood guards. They are the elites of the cult and are in charge of some of the most difficult and special operations. Our cult members are engaged in all kinds of professions on the continent. Other than the Blood Lion Hall, there are five other halls. They are called Huarong Hall, Langmu Hall, Ice Moon Hall, Qilu Hall, and Ao Lan Hall. There are flags under each of the five halls. Each flag is in charge of a city, regardless of the size of the city. Each flag has the same number of people according to the size of the city. Using my Ice Snow Flag as an example, there are a total of two hundred and sixty-seven members. The members of our cult have different titles according to their ranks. The Sect Leader was the only Blood Lion. Below the Sect Leader, the seven Elders were also known as the Golden Lion Elders. Below them were the Hall Masters of the Five Halls. The Hall Masters were at the Silver Lion level. "Next up, we Banner Masters are of the Red Lion Rank. Apart from the Blood Lion Hall's Blood Guards, all of the combatants are divided into seven ranks in descending order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple. Among them, unless the Red Lion Banner Master had made a special contribution to the Cult, he must at least possess a Yellow Rank Combat Ability. As for the Hall Masters and Elders, they had to reach the Red Level. The Red Level was equivalent to a Swordsman or an Archmage. The weakest Purple Level was equivalent to a Swordsman. Without the strength of a Swordsman or above, one could not become a combatant. That is to say, the combat strength of our sect's combat personnel is more refined. "
After hearing the blood, Nian Bing couldn't help being shocked. Originally, she had thought that the Blood Lion Cult was just a secret intelligence network of the Rong family. But now, it seemed that the Blood Lion Cult was not just a simple intelligence network. The Rong family's hidden strength was actually not any weaker than what they appeared to be. Why did her grandfather give her the position of the Blood Lion Cult's leader? If the strength of the Blood Lion Cult's Red Level was equivalent to that of a Swordsman, what did that mean? The Five Hall Masters and Seven Elders were all Swordsman. Heavens, there were suddenly twelve Swordsman. Adding on the Blood Lion Cult's strength in the entire continent, it was simply too terrifying. Originally, she didn't have any confidence in supporting Yan Feng to take the throne, but with the support of the Blood Lion Cult, her confidence increased greatly.
Looking at Nian Bing's constantly changing expression, Blood coughed and said, "Cult leader, do you have any other orders?"
Nian Bing thought for a while, then raised the Blood Lion Command in her hand and said, "Pass down my order. In the shortest time possible, transfer eighty percent of the Blood Lion Cult's combatants who are Green Level and above to the Ice Moon Empire's capital, Ice Moon City. The Five Hall Masters and Seven Elders will also be transferred to Ice Moon City and await further orders. This operation's code name is – Sky Change. "
Hearing that Nian Bing wanted to transfer so many people at once, Blood couldn't help but be shocked, "Cult leader, do you really want to transfer so many people?"
Nian Bing didn't answer, and continued, "At the same time, use the cult's intelligence network to collect everything about the princes of the Ice Moon Empire. Once the information is collected, transfer it directly to Ice Moon City. Soon, I will go to the Ice Moon Empire's Ice Moon Flag to give the following orders." Blood felt a trace of coldness from Nian Bing, and said respectfully, "This subordinate obeys."
Nian Bing took a deep look at Blood and said, "Send my orders to Demonic Lion and let him know. Send two capable people to follow me. Give me three claps as a signal and wait for my orders. "
"Yes, Cult leader."
"Alright, do what I told you to do as soon as possible. I'll be leaving first."
After personally sending Nian Bing out of the magic item shop, Blood returned to the secret room and shouted, "Men."
A black shadow seemed to float out from the wall, and kneeled down on one knee in front of him, and said respectfully, "Flag Master."
Blood said, "Send two green level brothers to follow the cult leader and wait for his orders. Go to the Blood Lion Hall personally and report everything that happened here to the elders, including the cult leader's orders. Let them make the decision. You must confirm the cult leader's identity first. I feel that this person is a bit strange. I can't feel any aura from him, as if he's just an ordinary person. White hair, white hair, there's actually such a young cult leader? "He didn't notice that on the corner of the wall, a faint silver light quietly disappeared.
Standing on the street, Nian Bing revealed a faint smile on his face, and said to himself, "Meticulous thoughts, as expected of a flag master. Since Grandpa gave me the Blood Lion Token, he should have already arranged everything for me. Looks like I really have to meet the cult leader as soon as possible. From now on, they'll be my eyes. "
When Nian Bing returned to Long Ling's room, Long Ling was still sleeping soundly. Her sleeping face was as beautiful as ever, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on her gentle face. Nian Bing helped her pull up the blanket, and only then did he walk out of the room to look for Long Zhi.
"Teacher. May I come in? "Nian Bing lightly knocked on Long Zhi's door.
Long Zhi's voice sounded from inside the room, "Come in."
Nian Bing pushed open the door and walked into Long Zhi's room. This was his first time here. However, every time he came here, he couldn't help but admire Long Zhi's persistence. There was nothing in the room apart from a meditation cushion. In order to improve his magic, Long Zhi had been cultivating almost every day.
Nian Bing walked to the opposite side of Long Zhi and directly sat down on the ground, "Teacher, before I came back today, I went to Qing Feng Zhai. Uncle Xue Ji wants to invite us to dinner tonight."
Long Zhi didn't answer the question, "What is your domain?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "I call it the Sky Eye Domain."
Long Zhi sighed, "I didn't expect that after so many years of hard work. I'm not as good as you, a newcomer who has only been cultivating magic for ten years. It seems that I'm really old. " Today's defeat not only made Long Zhi have a whole new level of respect for Nian Bing, but at the same time, it also made his ambition to develop the Magician's Union fade a lot.
Nian Bing said, "Teacher, sometimes being too persistent is not a good thing. Maybe you think that the most precious thing for you is the Union, but you're wrong. For you. The most precious thing should be Ling 'er. If you use the most precious thing in exchange for the prosperity of the Union, do you really think it's worth it? Actually, you don't need to be discouraged. Although my magic power has already stepped into the door of Magister, there is still a big gap between you and me. The reason why I was able to defeat you today was because my seven blades played an important role. If I didn't use them and just relied on my innate domain, it wouldn't be easy for me to defeat you. At the same level. The technique of control is the key to victory. You seem to have neglected this aspect. "
Long Zhi's face revealed a trace of a smile, "I have to admit that you are a genius. I'm almost certain. You will become a God Descending Master in the continent. Although the Ice Goddess Priestess is strong, but when she was your age, she definitely didn't have the results you have now. Nian Bing, I'm proud of you. However, my thoughts will not change. I'll give you three months. If you can't show me some results in three months, then you know the result. "
Nian Bing stood up and walked towards the door while saying, "Teacher, I'm not some gentleman. In these three months, I will definitely do my best. However, if I fail, then I won't let Ling 'er marry that Fifth Prince. Tonight, please come with us to the Cool Breeze Study. It's been a long time since I've tasted Master Ming's cooking. "
Long Zhi's heart was startled. Nian Bing had already walked out of the room. He clearly felt the intense killing intent emitted by Nian Bing just now. That killing intent wasn't directed at him. It could be imagined that it was directed at …
The dinner at the Cool Breeze Study ended in a calm and harmonious atmosphere. During the dinner, the happiest person was Long Ling. Sitting beside Nian Bing, she ate with great relish. The happiness that she hadn't felt in a long time had once again appeared on her body. Xuejing appeared to be very calm. She sat on the other side of Long Ling and ate peacefully. She didn't even look at Nian Bing and Garamandis. Long Zhi acted as if nothing had happened. He was chatting happily with Polar Snow and Ming Hui. Ming Yuan and Ming Hui also attended this banquet. Nian Bing's appearance made them very excited. The three of them exchanged pointers on their culinary skills, and they all felt that they had gained a lot.
"Teacher, I want to stay at the Cool Breeze Study for a few days. After two days, I want to go to Ice Moon City to experience the cooking there." Nian Bing smiled and said to Long Zhi.
Before Long Zhi could reply, Long Ling panicked. "Nian Bing, you've finally come back. How can you go back to the Union to stay?"
Nian Bing squeezed Long Ling's soft little hand under the table. Through his spiritual power and soul, his voice sounded directly in Long Ling's heart. "Aren't you afraid that I'll eat you tonight?"
Long Ling's face instantly turned red. "You …" Looking at her shy appearance, Nian Bing really wanted to go back with her and eat her up. However, thinking that he still had many things to do, he forced himself to suppress the thoughts in his heart.
"Ling 'er, be good. From now on, I will work hard for our future."
Long Ling lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Long Zhi looked at his daughter with some surprise and said, "Alright then. Old Xue's place is indeed more comfortable than the Union's."
Long Ling reluctantly left with Long Zhi. Xuejing actually took the initiative to send Nian Bing and Garamandis back to their room. The three of them walked in the elegant environment of the Cool Breeze Study. When they arrived at the courtyard where Nian Bing and Garamandis were staying, Xuejing stopped and said in a deep voice, "That Long something, you can go back first. I have something to say to Nian Bing."
Garamandis was stunned for a moment and said unhappily, "My name is Long Huo, not Long something."
Xuejing said unhappily, "Long Huo, that's enough. You can go back first. "
Nian Bing said, "Xuejing, if you have something to say, just say it. Brother Long is an outsider. "
Xuejing bit her lower lip and said, "Do you really like Ling 'er?"
Nian Bing nodded firmly.
Xuejing took a deep breath and seemed to have decided something, "Alright then. You must treat Ling 'er well. For Ling' er's sake, let's forget about our past. But if you dare to let her down, don't blame me for being impolite. "
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment and looked at Xuejing with a puzzled expression. Xuejing blushed under his gaze and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before? You stinky men, how can you compare to us sisters? I've said what I wanted to say. Just remember it. "After saying that, she immediately turned and ran away.
Looking at Xuejing's departing figure, Nian Bing was finally sure that the grudge between her and her had really disappeared. She couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. "Women! Really fickle animals. "
Garamandis pretended to be angry and said, "You're not allowed to call her an animal."
Nian Bing chuckled and said, "If she wasn't an animal, how could she be with you?"
When Garamandis heard this, his face fell. "I say, brother! What do you think I should do now? "
Nian Bing obviously knew what he was referring to. She smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. I'm not sure about Xuejing's temper either. We can only take one step at a time. Since you really like her, you have to care about time. How about this, tomorrow I'll go and talk to Uncle Xueji and let you take Xuejing as your disciple. "
Garamandis's eyes almost popped out. His voice rose an octave. "What? You want me to take her as my disciple? "
Nian Bing said matter-of-factly, "If you can't get close to her, how can you win her heart? Only by interacting more and understanding more will you have a chance. More importantly, you have to let her understand how powerful you are. "
Garamandis smiled bitterly and said, "But that Xueji doesn't have any good feelings towards me. Will he agree?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Then it'll be up to me. You can't chase girls, but can't you have enough strength? Don't forget, you're the great Fire Dragon King, Garamandis! I'll stay here for at most two days, then I'll make a trip to Ice Moon City. During this period of time, you have to cultivate your relationship with Xuejing. You have to remember, you can't be too hasty. You have to do your job well first. At the very least, you have to gain the trust and good feelings of the father and daughter before you can proceed to the next step. Whether you can succeed or not, it'll be up to you. During this period of time, I'll have to trouble Big Brother to help me protect Ling 'er. Today, that Fifth Prince is not only interested in Xuejing, at the same time, he also has bad intentions towards Ling' er. When I'm not here, I'll have to trouble you. "
Garamandis laughed and said, "You're really good at chasing girls. You've just sent off Feng Nu, and now there's Ling 'er. I didn't have time to ask you at dinner tonight. This Miss Ling' er looks pretty good too! However, don't tell me you want both of them? Will they agree? Aren't you afraid that they'll overturn the jar of vinegar? "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "I've already told Feng Nu about Ling 'er. Ling' er also knows about Feng Nu's existence. To me, I can't give up either one of them now. "At this point, the smile on his face couldn't help but turn into a bitter smile. He himself didn't know what it would be like when Long Ling and Feng Nu met again in the future.
After returning to his room, Nian Bing sat on his bed and began to meditate. As he meditated, he also thought about what had happened today. He straightened out his thoughts. The seven solid magic energy balls in his body absorbed the magic energy in the air at least three times faster than normal magicians through the use of Xiantian Qi. He had just entered the realm of Archmage, so he needed to consolidate his strength in order to strengthen himself.
The next morning, Nian Bing ate breakfast and went to find Xue Ji alone. He asked to have a chat with him. Xue Ji happily agreed and directly brought him to the study.
"Uncle Xue, I came to find you today to talk about Big Brother Long."
When Xue Ji heard that Nian Bing wanted to talk to him about Garamandis, he immediately frowned, "Nian Bing, other things can be discussed. However, I really can't accept Long Huo. Jing 'er also won't like him, so you don't need to say anything more. "
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't completely understand how Big Brother Long offended you, but what I want to talk to you about today is …. It's not a matter of feelings. After all, in terms of feelings. For two people to like each other, it can't be forced. Since Xuejing doesn't have that kind of feelings for Big Brother Long, how can I make things difficult for you? "
Xue Ji looked at Nian Bing said with a bit of surprise, "Then what do you mean?"
Nian Bing said, "You should have seen that Big Brother Long's strength is extremely strong, and he also cultivates the fire attribute dou qi. Actually, he's a very good person. It's only because he likes Xuejing too much that he did something rude. I apologize to you on his behalf first. I'm going to Ice Moon City tomorrow, so it's a bit inconvenient to bring Big Brother Long along. I want him to stay here and wait for me, but Big Brother Long is willing to eat and drink here for free. I've discussed with him, and if you're willing, we can let Big Brother Long teach Xuejing some martial arts. Of course, I promise you. He definitely won't bother Xuejing anymore, and will only teach her martial arts. "
Xue Ji smiled, "Nian Bing. You brat said that you won't force her, but aren't you still creating opportunities for them? "
Nian Bing said indifferently, "Uncle Xue, perhaps you have a good impression of that Fifth Prince, but there's something I have to tell you. Fifth Prince has already proposed marriage to Teacher Long Zhi."
"What?" Xue Ji was shocked, "Isn't Ling 'er very close to you?"
A cold light flashed in Nian Bing's eyes, and she said, "Of course, I won't let Ling 'er become the sacrifice of a political marriage. So, I still have a lot of things to do. I'm telling you this because I want you to know that Fifth Prince isn't someone who's worthy of Xuejing entrusting her life to. This time, even if you give Big Brother Long a chance, he's really only going to teach Xuejing some martial arts. " Speaking up to here, she paused for a moment before continuing, "In terms of strength, I'm afraid that you can't find more than a few people in the entire mainland who can match this Big Brother Long of mine. As long as he's here, I believe that all of these troubles will naturally disappear."
Hearing Nian Bing's subtle hints, and adding in his understanding of Garamandis, Xue Ji couldn't help but feel moved, "Alright, I'll believe you this time. But you have to make it clear to that brat Long Huo that he's only going to teach Jing 'er martial arts."
Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother Long won't do anything rash again."
After leaving the Clear Wind House, Nian Bing walked to a secluded corner and struck her palms three times. Immediately, two grey figures quietly appeared beside her without making a single sound.
Nian Bing said indifferently, "Tell Blood that I'll be heading to Ice Moon City tomorrow, so the people of the Ice Moon Empire don't need to go. Pay attention to the Fifth Prince of the Ice Moon Empire who's staying in the city at all times. If he does anything that's detrimental to the Magicians Guild, you have to protect Miss Long Ling." She spoke very quickly, and immediately walked towards the main street, heading towards the Magicians Guild.
Of the two grey figures, one flew away, while the other continued to follow Nian Bing from afar.
Before reaching the entrance of the Magicians Guild, Nian Bing saw Long Ling standing outside the Guild looking in his direction, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. Compared to Long Ling, Feng Nu was more independent, and Feng Nu had her own thoughts and pursuits. However, Long Ling only had him in her heart, and that feeling of dependence was something that Feng Nu didn't have. They were both his loved ones, but the feelings that Feng Nu and Long Ling gave him were completely different.
With a faint smile, Nian Bing quickly walked over, and Long Ling pulled on his large hand without any hesitation, "You're here so late! The sun is already shining on our buttocks. " Today, Long Ling's complexion was clearly better than yesterday, and her charming face had a bit more color. Her eyes were filled with joy as she looked at Nian Bing.
"Silly girl, the distance from the Clear Wind House to here is very short, so even if I had to walk, it would still take some time! Why did you come out to wait for me? "
Long Ling lowered her head and said, "I was afraid that you would suddenly disappear. That's why I waited for you here. "
"How could that be? I can't bear to part with my Ling 'er. "As they spoke, the two of them walked hand in hand into the Guild. The young magicians standing guard looked at the two of them, and their eyes were filled with envy.
As they walked, Long Ling sighed softly and said, "Nianbing. Actually, sometimes I don't even know what kind of person you are. You always have so many secrets, do you know? This kind of you always gives me a feeling of unease. My heart is very conflicted, and I'm really afraid that you won't want me anymore. "As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Nian Bing wasn't in a hurry to explain, and tightly held Long Ling's small hand, and said in a low voice, "Ling 'er, I've always brought you too much trouble, so today I'm here. I want to tell you everything about myself, including all my experiences. I won't hide anything from you. Between you and me, there's no need for any secrets. Perhaps, this way you'll have more confidence in me. "
Long Ling stopped and raised her head to look at Nian Bing. Soon, she gently shook her head. She said, "No, no need. Nian Bing, I believe in you. You should have your own privacy. "
Nian Bing pulled Long Ling over as if there was no one around, and kissed her forehead, saying, "Silly girl, privacy is for outsiders. You're my future wife, what privacy do you need? "
"Ah! Annoying, there are still people here. "Long Ling shyly lowered her head to her chest, and dared to look at the magicians passing by on both sides.
Nian Bing smiled faintly. Pulling Long Ling up, she cast a wind magic on both of them, and floated back to Long Ling's boudoir. She cast a soundproof barrier in the room. Still holding her like yesterday, Nian Bing talked about his childhood, telling Long Ling his story.
This talk took no less than half a day. Just as Nian Bing said himself, he didn't hold back at all, starting from his parents, talking about his childhood, as well as where the deep hatred with the Ice Goddess priests came from, all the way to the recent competition, talking about himself and Feng Nu. Except for his identity as Garamandis and the Seven Dragon Kings, he talked about all his experiences before coming here.
Nian Bing's narration was very dull, but it set off a huge wave in Long Ling's heart. Only now did she know that the man she had always loved deeply had actually experienced so many calamities. Compared to him, she was already much luckier.
"Okay, I've already said what I need to say. You know everything after coming here. Ling 'er, about the matter of me being born in the Rong family, don't tell teacher first, okay? "
Long Ling leaned on Nian Bing's chest. She kept her head down, listening to Nian Bing in Silence. Until Nian Bing finished everything, she didn't say a word.
"Nian Bing, I'm sorry, I didn't know …"
"Don't say sorry, I should be the one who's sorry. Ling 'er, I carried such a deep hatred, and my enemy was so powerful. At that time, I really dared to accept your feelings! Only after going through so much with Feng Nu did I understand what it means to cherish. Can you forgive me for the past? "
Long Ling raised her head to look at Nianbing, her beautiful big eyes had long been covered with a layer of mist. Suddenly, her face became serious, "I can forgive you. I believe that everything you said just now is true, but there's one thing you didn't say. When did you use the Life Curse? "
Nian Bing was shocked. He didn't say anything about the Seven Dragon Kings, but his white hair, Long Ling remembered it deeply. Now that she heard Nian Bing's story, she asked the question in her heart.
Nian Bing hesitated, and said, "I'm sorry, Ling 'er. I can't tell you this. Indeed, I used the Life Curse. At that time, I didn't have a choice. In order to protect my friend, I had to do that. Don't ask, okay? This matter is related to my friend's secret, I really can't say. "
Long Ling looked deeply at Nian Bing, nodded, and said, "Okay, I won't ask. But I want to tell you, if you die, then I will go find you. "
Nian Bing's whole body shook, strong feelings spread in his chest. Once again, he deeply kissed those moving lips. Long Ling responded passionately. Between each other, they seemed to want to melt each other. Nian Bing nimbly turned over, pressing Long Ling under his body. A small spark was gradually developing in the direction of a prairie fire.
Just at this time, that untimely voice sounded again. Nian Bing's mind called out, "Nian Bing."
Stopping his movements, Nian Bing angrily shouted in his heart, "Kaka, I'm going to strangle you to death."
"Idiot, don't tell me you can't feel the danger outside?" Oscar said disdainfully.
With a thought, Ling Nian Bing, who was originally blinded by lust, opened his Tian Yan acupoint, feeling everything in the outside world. Suddenly, a cold aura spread in the air, and Nian Bing calmed down. He hurriedly jumped down from the bed, blocking in front of Long Ling. His Innate Domain instantly erupted, filling the whole room.
