Ao Feng did not doubt the other party's identity and words. If not for Niu Youdao's instructions, the other party would not have known about this matter.
There was no need to doubt the other party's evil intentions. If they really did have evil intentions, there was no need to complicate matters. In the current situation, Niu Youdao was already dead, so the Fox Clan could ignore him. After so many years, the Nine Sages could do nothing to the Fox Clan, so there was nothing for them to fear.
Because of this, Ao Feng was a little touched. He no longer had any hope, but he had nowhere to go. He did not expect that the Fox Clan would still abide by Niu Youdao's will. From this, it seemed that these fox demons were much more reliable than humans.
Although he was touched, he was still subconsciously on guard. "You better not play any tricks. I have a backup plan."
The old man shook his head. "Your backup plan is useless against my Fox Clan. Let's go." With that, he left.
Ao Feng had no choice. After the holidays, he did not dare to return to the Immeasurable Garden. In the entire Sage Realm, besides the Desolate Swamp Wasteland where the Fox Clan lived, the other places were very dangerous. He could not hide for long, so he could only follow.
Flying off the cliff, the two silhouettes, one in front and one behind, flew across the vast swamp.
When they passed by a forest in the swamp, a flying beast mount received them. It was the flying beast mount that Niu Youdao had left for the Fox Clan.
After reaching the depths of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, the two jumped down from the sky. The old man brought Ao Feng to the bottom of the swamp.
Then, they arrived at an underground palace. The underground palace was filled with fox demons playing around. This scene made Ao Feng feel very uncomfortable. In the past, he would kill them on sight.
In a quiet room in the underground palace, the current Fox Clan Head, Heiyun, was waiting. The old man came and bowed. "Clan Head, I have brought him."
Then, he introduced Ao Feng. "This is my Fox Clan Head, Heiyun."
In the past, Ao Feng would not have placed the Fox Clan in his eyes. But now, he respectfully cupped his hands. "Ao Feng greets Clan Head."
Heiyun said, "No need to be so polite." He took out a box from behind his back. "This was left behind by Niu Youdao. He told me to pass it to you when I saw you."
Ao Feng received it with both hands and secretly invoked his arts to examine it. After confirming that there were no problems, he opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, a red light shone out. An Immeasurable Fruit lay quietly in the box, releasing a refreshing fragrance.
What was this? Ao Feng had personally plucked it from the tree, so he naturally recognized it. His emotions instantly surged. The Niu Youdao had promised him an Immeasurable Fruit, and he had actually fulfilled it. The Fox Clan had actually given it to him.
Thinking back to the endless torment in the Immeasurable Garden, the moment he obtained this item, he felt that everything was worth it. All the risks were worth it.
Seeing his excitement, Heiyun didn't say anything more. He pointed to the box in the room. "This is a Spirit Primary Pill that Niu Youdao asked someone to send over. It will help you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. See if it is enough. If it is not enough, contact Niu Youdao later."
"Many thanks, Clan Head …" Ao Feng was very grateful after closing the box. He was just about to bow and thank Jiang Yi when he suddenly froze and looked up. "What did Clan Head just say? Contact Niu Youdao again? Isn't Niu Youdao already dead? "
Heiyun said coldly, "Are you stupid? Niu Youdao is dead. Do we still need to take in an outsider like you? Do we need to give you an Immeasurable Fruit? How many of our clansmen have you killed? If it wasn't for Niu Youdao vouching for you and asking you to atone for your crimes, we wouldn't care about your life or death. He didn't die. He just faked his death to escape. "
"Didn't die?" Ao Feng was stunned and said in disbelief, "How is that possible? The Nine Sages examined his body personally. How could he not die? "
Heiyun said, "There are so many people in the world. Who would be willing to be oppressed by the Nine Sages? Isn't the Nine Sages used to cheat people? That guy is very cunning. How could he die so easily? Listen carefully. Stay here obediently. Without the Fox Clan's permission, you are not allowed to go out! "
Ao Feng was still thinking about how Niu Youdao was not dead. When he heard Jiang Yi's words, he nodded obediently.
In fact, there was no need for Jiang Yi to remind him. With his current situation, how would he dare to go out and run around?
Heiyun said, "Also, there are no Nine Sages here. There are only Nine Sages. Don't blame me for falling out with you if you talk about Nine Sages and Nine Sages again!" Then, he swung his sleeves and left.
The Fox Clan had all left, leaving Ao Feng alone in a daze.
After he silently digested the information provided by Hei Yun, he opened the box once more, and as he gazed at the bright red Immeasurable Fruit, wild joy gradually surged within his heart. I actually have the chance to step into the Nascent Soul Realm that everyone in the cultivation world dreams of!
Once again, he felt that all the risks he had taken were worth it.
After his excitement calmed down, he walked to a corner and opened the box. When he saw the Spirit Yuan Pills, his eyes turned red and he almost cried tears of joy.
Niu Youdao had already prepared it for him. All he needed to do was to cultivate and break through.
This time, he was really touched. Niu Youdao's trustworthiness had moved him. It could be said that he had truly gotten to know Niu Youdao. What was there for him to worry about when working with a person like Niu Youdao? All his previous worries were for nothing.
…
In the Kingdom of Qi's palace, Hao Yuntu was holding a banquet on a high pavilion. The guest was the Waning Moon Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Yu Cang.
A group of people went up to the pavilion and took their seats. The Heavenly Fire Sect's Sect Master, Bei Xuan, and the Great Hill Sect's Sect Master, Three Thousand Li, accompanied them.
Qin and Qi had already formed an alliance. Now that they were like lips and teeth, they would naturally treat their guests well.
After sitting down, Hao Yuntu chuckled and said, "Mister Yu Cang, do you feel nostalgic? Back then, we parted ways right here. Mister's identity really fooled us badly. "
Yu Cang waved his hand and said, "I had no choice."
Hao Yuntu did not intend to pursue the matter. Instead, he praised, "Waning Moon Pavilion has endured humiliation in order to restore the country!"
Yu Cang also sighed, "It's been hard, thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
After a round of pleasantries, the dishes and wine were served. After toasting each other, Yu Cang suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that Xuan Wei has come to Qi Capital?"
Hao Yuntu's eyes flickered. He roughly knew the reason for his visit. He sighed, "The country has fallen. After all, she is my daughter-in-law. How can I not care?"
"Of course." Yu Cang put down his wine cup, "But I heard that Xuan Wei intends to restore the country."
Hao Yuntu said, "Restore what? It's just wishful thinking. "
Yu Cang said, "You can't say that. A centipede dies but never falls. Although Weiguo fell in an instant, the framework of the Mist Manor is still in Xuan Wei's hands. There must be some old and young people in Weiguo who still miss their old master. And Your Majesty also said that she is your daughter-in-law. You are a family after all. After all these considerations, this old man is very uneasy. "
The heads of the three sects looked at each other. They knew what this person was worried about. They promised to give Weiguo's territory to Qin after they defeated Jin.
And the situation on Qin's side was clear. No matter the outcome of this battle, Qin's territory had become meat next to the mouths of Han and Yan. The two countries would not let go of such a great opportunity. Qin's invasion of Qi was a battle with their backs against the wall. Wei's territory had become Qin's last resort.
In other words, Xuan Wei's existence did make this person feel uneasy. This person was not here to greet Xuan Wei. He was clearly here to eliminate the threat and take Xuan Wei's life.
Xuan Wei's life was no longer important to the heads of the three sects. But they could not say anything. In name, Xuan Wei was Hao Yuntu's daughter-in-law.
Hao Yuntu was not stupid. He knew what was going on. Slowly, he said, "What is Mister Yu Cang's intention?"
Yu Cang smiled. "Prince Hao Cheng is not afraid of not being able to find a good match. As long as Your Majesty is willing, you can choose any beauty in Qin!"
Hao Yuntu said expressionlessly, "She is my daughter-in-law after all."
Yu Cang said, "So no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty or Qi. Qin will deal with it. The city was heavily guarded. If something were to happen, it would be unreasonable for the guards to ignore it. What do you think? "He raised his cup and saluted.
The heads of the three sects did not say anything. They pretended not to hear or see anything.
Hao Yuntu was silent. But in the end, he still raised his cup and returned the salute.
Yu Cang laughed loudly. He raised his cup and drained it in one gulp. He showed the empty cup to everyone.
Bu Xun, who was at the side, looked left and right. He knew that there was no need to say anything.
…
In the newly bestowed prince's residence, Hao Cheng's residence.
Hao Cheng walked in with large strides. He wanted to barge in. Ximen Qingkong, who was guarding the door, immediately moved and blocked the entrance.
Hao Cheng's expression darkened. He glared at Ximen Qingkong and gritted his teeth. "You better get this straight. This is this prince's home, not yours. Find out who the owner of this house is. Find out whose house you are living in. You live in this prince's house and eat my food. How dare you stop this prince in this prince's house? "
He wanted to get rid of Ximen Qingkong the moment he returned to Qi Capital. But with Ximen Qingkong's strength and status, no one was willing to listen to him without the approval of the higher-ups.
At the end of the day, he did not have any real power. He could not easily mobilize people with sufficient strength.
Ximen Qingkong's face tightened. He did not make a sound. He did not move out of the way and blocked the door.
Hao Cheng was furious, but he did not dare to do anything to him. He paced back and forth in anger. Suddenly, he shouted, "Xuan Wei, didn't you want to visit the ministers in court? Since you like to put on airs in front of this prince, take your time. Don't regret it! "He flicked his sleeves and turned his head.
"Wait!" Xuan Wei's voice came from the room. "Ximen, let him in."
Hao Cheng, who was about to walk down the stairs, stopped and looked back.
Ximen Qingkong was silent, but he finally moved to the side.
Hao Cheng snorted coldly. He turned around and strode inside. Ximen Qingkong followed him in.
Xuan Wei, who was sitting behind the table, looked up. She put a stack of intelligence reports from the Mist Manor on the table. She got up and stared at Hao Cheng. "Have you seen Prime Minister Liang?"
She had wanted to visit the Prime Minister of Qi as soon as she arrived in Qi Capital. Unfortunately, he had deliberately avoided her and used the excuse of not seeing her.
Prime Minister Liang's attitude was clear. The other ministers also avoided her. She could only ask Hao Cheng to use his status as a prince to help.
"This prince is a prince after all. Who dares to stop me from visiting?" Hao Cheng snorted coldly with his hands behind his back.
Xuan Wei immediately walked away from the long table. "I wonder if Prime Minister Liang is willing to attend the banquet?"
Hao Cheng raised his nose to the sky. He said sarcastically, "This prince is in his own home, but I still have to be stared at by an outsider. It's very uncomfortable!"
Xuan Wei understood what he meant. She secretly gritted her teeth and nodded slightly at Ximen Qingkong, indicating that she should leave.
Ximen Qingkong did not move. He stared coldly at Hao Cheng. In the end, he turned around and slowly walked out the door. His steps were heavy as he walked down the stairs.
