Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 726: The Real Reason

Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, seventh floor.

"Master, what just flew away from Phoenix City was indeed the Phoenix Divine Boat. After many investigations, it has been confirmed that there were only three people on the Phoenix Divine Boat... Yun Che, Feng Hengkong, and the Snow Princess Feng Xue'er. What was flying was In the direction of Blue Wind Country. If we are really going to Blue Wind, we can reach Blue Wind Imperial City before dusk tomorrow."

"...Can we find out what happened?" Zi Ji frowned.

"Feng Tianwei is on the side, so we don't dare to get close. But we will know before tomorrow."

Zi Ji pondered for a long time and said slowly: "It's really a series of twists and turns."

It can be said that every step of the development of this matter completely deviated from his expectations. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, who had always understood the overall situation.

"Master, I have something to report. The eleven people who infiltrated the Illusory Demon Realm a hundred years ago, and the last three soul marks after the eight people before us, all disappeared... just a quarter of an hour ago. Most likely, it was Their identities were exposed, they were then searched for souls, and eventually they were all removed.”

"..." Zi Ji remained silent.

"Master, you don't need to worry too much about this matter. A hundred years ago, those of us who infiltrated the Demon King Realm only brought seven sound transmission stones. The news that came a year ago happened to be the seventh time, which means that seven All the sound transmission stones have been used up. Even if they all survive, they will not be able to send back the message. Although they are dead, they have completed their mission."

The "sound transmission stone" he refers to is certainly not an ordinary sound transmission stone, but a special sound transmission stone that can travel millions of miles and transmit sounds from the Illusory Demon Realm back to the Tianxuan Continent. Looking at the entire Tianxuan Continent, this special sound-transmission stone can only be found in the four holy places with extremely profound foundations, and the number is extremely rare.

"... They were all safe and sound before, but they have been exterminated one after another recently. It seems that something big has happened in the Illusory Demon Realm." Zi Ji said slowly: "However, what I care about more is not their exposure and life or death, but their exposure. The last news came back a year ago.”

"A year ago?"

"The news briefly described the current situation of the twelve guardian families of Demon Imperial City. When it mentioned the Yun family, it mentioned that the crippled Yun Qinghong had adopted an adopted son named 'Yun Che'..."

Zi Ji's words paused here, and the man in blue beside him suddenly frowned and asked doubtfully: "Does the master think that he and Yun Che have some connection? It should be just the same name, after all..."

"At the time, I didn't take it to heart at all, but..."

Ziji didn't continue talking, and the two wings spread out in the darkness of dawn in the Xuanying Stone appeared in his mind... and the cyan storm swirling under the wings.

And... Yun Che came back alive.

"Master, do you mean..."

Zi Ji shook his head slightly and did not comment. Instead, his tone changed and he said with a deep meaning: "A hundred years ago, when we invaded the Demon Imperial City, we were not the only ones who took advantage of the chaos and sent people to infiltrate... but also Tian Tian. Mighty Sword Domain. I wonder if they have also exhausted the sound transmission stones..."

————————————————————

The Phoenix Divine Ark is the highest-level profound ark of the Divine Phoenix Sect, and it is also the iconic existence of the entire Divine Phoenix Kingdom. Wherever it flies, the emperor must be there.

As night falls, the Phoenix Divine Boat is approaching the border of the Divine Phoenix. Wherever it flies, the citizens of the Divine Phoenix are paying homage from a distance.

There were only three people on board the huge Phoenix God Boat. Yun Che, Feng Xue'er, and Feng Hengkong had various expressions on their faces.

"Father said that with the speed of Feng Shenzhou, we should be able to reach Blue Wind Imperial City by this time tomorrow." Feng Xue'er sat next to Yun Che, very close to him. When she spoke, her expression showed Red, obviously excited. After all, this was the first time she had left the Divine Phoenix Kingdom since she was born. She had been looking forward to this day since she was very young.

Seeing Feng Xue'er not shying away from anything, even leaning her body towards Yun Che very naturally, with her eyes full of intimacy, Feng Hengkong's face twitched, but he could only sigh silently... In Feng Shenzhou In the past few hours, he had sighed silently countless times.

He believed that he had always protected Feng Xue'er to the extreme. Even her biological brothers could not get within three steps. Not to mention outsiders, even the disciples of the sect were extremely lucky to see Feng Xue'er once in a while. .

How come...

Feng Hengkong stretched out his hand to grab the top of his head, and his tightened fingers wished he could pull off all the hair on his head... He would rather Yun Che bring harm to the Divine Phoenix Sect to pieces than to bring harm to Feng Xue'er.

"Did you kill Feng Chihuo?" Feng Hengkong, who was scratching his scalp, suddenly said coldly.

"Yes." Yun Che answered without any pause.

"Huh!" Feng Hengkong didn't say any more, because the matter was at this point and it was useless to say anything. Now he only hoped that Feng Xue'er's feelings for Yun Che would not reach the level that he did not dare to imagine.

"I also want to ask you a question." Yun Che's eyes were locked on Feng Hengkong: "What is the real purpose of your order to invade me, Cangfeng...?"

Feng Hengkong froze and said nothing.

"Father, Xue'er also wants to know why." Feng Xue'er said softly: "Because I know that my father is definitely not a cruel and heartless person. For my father to make the decision he made three years ago, it must...must be... Is there any very special reason or reason? Can you tell me and Brother Yun? Maybe after knowing the reason, Brother Yun will blame my father less..."

Feng Hengkong slowly lowered his hand and asked Feng Xue'er softly. He had no strength to refuse. Then he thought about the fact that Yun Che clearly knew the truth about Phoenix God's death... Feng Hengkong sighed slowly and said: "Four years ago, when our sect Lingkun Palace began to prepare for the imminent appearance of the Ancient Xuan Ark, we accidentally discovered that there was a weak reaction from the amethyst mineral deposits in the far east of the Blue Wind Kingdom. And across such a long distance There was a purple crystal reaction, which had never happened before in history, so they sent a protector of Lingkun Temple to investigate secretly, and found that in the east of a small town called Liuyun City, a hidden object hidden deep underground was discovered. The amethyst ore is huge and has an astonishing energy level... If all these amethyst ores are mined and refined, a hundred kilograms of purple veins can be obtained..."

"God Crystal!"

"Ah!" Feng Xue'er exclaimed in surprise. A hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal is a concept that is enough to shock Potato... let alone the Purple Veined Divine Crystal! !

One hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal is an extremely huge resource even for the Four Holy Lands!

You know, it would take at least five hundred years for a holy land to accumulate a hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals! If the Divine Phoenix Sect obtains these purple-veined divine crystals in its entirety, it will be equivalent to possessing the resources of the Holy Land all at once, which would require an existence to accumulate over five hundred years of resources!

This kind of temptation is enough to make the Divine Phoenix Sect... enough to make any force in Tianxuan Continent do whatever it takes to get it!

"So... that's it!!" Yun Che raised his head. Feng Hengkong's words almost immediately cleared up all the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Yun, do you already know?" Yun Che's words made Feng Xue'er look at him in confusion.

"Absolutely." Yun Che stood up, frowned, stared at Feng Hengkong and said, "Let your father do the talking."

Feng Hengkong closed his eyes slightly and spoke directly: "Back then, after the ancestor Phoenix God passed away, those of us who knew about this incident had a strong sense of crisis. Because once this incident was spread, the Divine Phoenix Sect would definitely be attacked. The suppression of the Four Holy Lands... may even lead to annihilation. Therefore, while guarding the secret of Phoenix God's death, we have been looking for ways to preserve the whole sect... at least if the secret is leaked. Xue'er's method."

"And the discovery of this huge amethyst mine makes me and my father ecstatic. If we can really get a hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals, we will be able to give birth to a large number of extremely powerful people in a short period of time, and thus add a deeper layer of power. Assure."

"Is that... this reason? Just to get the amethyst mine in Blue Wind Country?" Feng Xue'er shook her head in confusion: "But, what does this have to do with Father's order to invade Blue Wind Country... It's still so cruel Way!?"

"Of course it is to keep Chen Cang secret and not be noticed by the people in the Four Holy Lands." Yun Che said, but there was a faint mockery deep in his eyes: "There are people in the Four Holy Lands secretly monitoring the movements of the Divine Phoenix Sect at any time. And this Amethyst The existence of the mine can only be known to a few core figures in the sect. If these core figures are naturally the focus of surveillance in the four holy places, there is a huge risk of being discovered no matter how secretive the action is. When the time comes, the amethyst mine will It will also be exposed, and once exposed, you will no longer belong to the Divine Phoenix Sect."

"So, the purpose of your order to launch a war against Cangfeng was to cover up and divert other people's attention! And in order to maximize the effect of the cover-up, you did not hesitate to massacre people and burn the city, showing your eagerness to capture Cangfeng in the shortest possible time. , as if I’m venting your anger because I’ve made you lose face in the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Tournament!”

"Yes." Feng Hengkong nodded expressionlessly.

"Just for a hundred kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal? Haha..." Looking at Feng Hengkong's appearance, Yun Che sneered: "Looking at you, do you never feel that there is anything wrong with what you do?"

"As far as the Blue Wind Kingdom is concerned, I really deserve to be punished by heaven. But I am the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix and the master of the Phoenix Sect!" Feng Hengkong raised his head and looked at Yun Che: "To others, this hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals , is just a huge resource, but it is a life-saving straw for us who no longer have the ancestor Phoenix God! Today’s results really make me regret it... but my decision is not wrong!”

"Naive! Do you really think that a hundred kilograms of purple-veined divine crystals can save your Divine Phoenix Sect after the Phoenix God's death is revealed?" Yun Che said coldly.

"...At least it will give us a little more power to protect Xue'er! As long as we can protect Xue'er for a hundred years, even if my entire sect dies completely, there is endless hope!" Feng Hengkong roared.

"Father, please stop talking!" Seeing Yun Che and Feng Hengkong's tit-for-tat confrontation again, Feng Xue'er hurriedly stood between them: "Father, no matter what the reason, so many innocent people died, and then It is a huge fault that so many innocent people are in trouble. With the help of Brother Yun, Xue'er's Phoenix Soul has awakened and is now able to protect our Divine Phoenix Sect. My father no longer needs to worry about Xue'er. I just hope that I can redeem my sins with my father and be forgiven by Blue Wind and the spirit of Lord Phoenix God."

"Xue'er..." Feng Hengkong looked at his daughter, his eyes gradually becoming hazy.

"Speaking of which, when you asked Feng Xichen to go to Blue Wind Imperial City in person and send invitations to the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Tournament, it was just a pretense. The real purpose was to use my bloodline as the Divine Phoenix Prince to stir up disputes and start a war. An excuse?" Yun Che squinted.

"Yes." Feng Hengkong did not deny it.

Yun Che continued, "After the war lasted for more than two years and the Four Sacred Grounds' attention faded, you began to prepare to seize the purple crystal mine. But when taking the mine, even in the deep underground, it would inevitably cause a huge noise. Therefore, the 200,000 troops transferred to Liuyun City bombarded the ground every day, pretending to use it as a training ground, which was a cover-up for all this."

"...You are right." Feng Hengkong looked at him deeply. He had only mentioned the existence of the purple crystal mine before, but Yun Che actually understood all the reasons, processes and means so thoroughly... How terrifying his mind was.

"So how much of your goal has been achieved now?" Yun Che asked coldly. He had never thought that the area of ​​Liuyun City where he had lived for more than ten years actually hid a purple crystal mine that the Phoenix Divine Sect was willing to pay a huge price to get.

The surrounding area of ​​Liuyun City was empty and barren, with only some of the lowest-level mysterious beasts living there. Before this, even if someone told him that there was a mine hidden there that was so huge that it could refine a hundred kilograms of purple vein divine crystals, he would not believe it.

"100%."

"100%!?" Feng Hengkong's words made Yun Che frown.
