Chapter 963: The Incomparably Loyal Feng Lin Tao

Feng Lin Tao felt emotional!

The destinies between people are sometimes so changeable and unpredictable!

But Feng Lin Tao was not an ordinary person; just like Lanya's description of him back then, this person was selfish and cold, cruel and suspicious, yet good at enduring, so since choosing to surrender to the Human Race, he had already simulated all situations in his heart. Now, although seeing Xu Qing raised some complex emotions, they were quickly put aside by him!

He did not hide his thoughts during this process but displayed them openly on his face and in his expression!

This was what he was good at; to be able to cultivate to the Hidden God realm step by step with the identity of a half-blood West Moyu in the West Moyu Holy Land, he naturally had his own way of survival!

And utilizing everything around him, including his own emotions, he had learned since childhood!

Today here, he needed to utilize this point to prove his sincerity!

After all, in the few months since he surrendered, he had been left out in the cold, and the Human Emperor had not made any arrangements for him!

This made him a bit uneasy!

He knew this was a manifestation that the Empress had not fully accepted his defection!

She was still in a wait-and-see attitude toward him!

Thus, he needed to take advantage of this opportunity to increase his sincerity!

Carrying such thoughts, this bow of Feng Lin Tao toward Xu Qing actually had a few points of genuine conviction!

Xu Qing looked at Feng Lin Tao before him, his expression calm, not saying a word!

No joy or anger could be seen, nor was there any emotion contained within!

Although he did not speak, Chen Erniu, on the other hand, laughed, playing with the Holy Heaven Divine Vine in his hand while smilingly transmitting words!

"Little kid, long time no see!"

Feng Lin Tao turned around, and when looking at Chen Erniu, his expression still carried emotion, and he bowed with cupped fists!

"Greetings, Great Tiangang; the matter of that day was Feng's fault; I hope Great Tiangang and Grand Tutor will not take it to heart. This time, my surrender to the Human Race, although a helpless move, the sincerity of my heart

comes from the bottom of my lungs!"

This sentence of Feng Lin Tao chose to bow his head, expressing the respect he should have in a weak position, and at the same time indirectly pointed out that he did indeed know Xu Qing and Chen Erniu!

However, Xu Qing understood this little thought at a glance, and with Chen Erniu's poisonous eyes, how could he not see it!

Chen Erniu, hearing this, lifted the divine vine in his hand, his smile carrying some joy: "How could that be? You sent Little A-Qing and me so many good things last time; I haven't properly thanked you, this great good person, yet?"

"

Feng Lin Tao smiled bitterly on the surface, but his heart couldn't help but surge!

Ultimately, he didn't actually hate Xu Qing much; the focus of his hatred was Chen Erniu!

It was Chen Erniu who deceived him, making him carry him all the way!

It was Chen Erniu who made him appear negligent because he was on the verge of death throughout the journey!

It was even more so because Chen Erniu bit off the divine vine at a critical moment, causing his trump card to collapse directly!

Therefore, there was the subsequent pursuit by Lanya and Yuedong!

And originally, without Chen Erniu, he could have turned defeat into victory!

The root cause was right before his eyes!

But he could not express his hatred!

Thus, Feng Lin Tao took a deep breath, trying to suppress his surging thoughts, but just at this moment, Chen Erniu continued to transmit cheap-sounding words!

"Come, good vine, say hello to your uncle!"

Chen Erniu proudly lifted the divine vine!

The divine vine turned its head, its leaves swaying slightly!

Feng Lin Tao was silent, trying hard not to break his composure!

Seeing that Chen Erniu still wanted to speak, the Grand Chancellor standing not far away coughed, interrupting Chen Erniu's interest, and looked toward Xu Qing!

"This time Majesty summoned Grand Tutor back, besides military affairs, there is another matter that needs verification!"

Xu Qing looked at this Human Race Grand Chancellor upon hearing this!

"Is it about the identity problem of this Feng Lin Tao?"

The Grand Chancellor nodded!

"Not only that, the specific details are in this object; please take a look, Grand Tutor!"

Saying this, the Grand Chancellor took out a jade slip and sent it slightly, floating before Xu Qing, containing all of Feng Lin Tao's statements!

Xu Qing received it, checked it, pondered for a few breaths, and spoke slowly: "My first meeting with this person was on the way back to the Human Race from the Yanyue Xuan Tian; the specific experience was once submitted in

a jade slip, recording the causality!"

"As for the entanglement between this person and the two women Lanya and Yuedong, as I saw back then, they indeed had killing intent toward each other; if not for the help of me and Senior Brother that day, this person would have been hard-pressed to escape with his life!"

"

"And the appearance of me and Senior Brother, judging from the situation, was a coincidence."

"And if the West Moyu Holy Land did not choose to use this Feng Lin Tao as a dark pawn before descending to perform this surrender, the possibility is not high!"

"As for the final decision, it still requires Majesty's determination!"

Xu Qing finished speaking and did not speak again!

The Grand Chancellor nodded upon hearing this!

Xu Qing's words could be considered as corroboration for Feng Lin Tao's surrender!

This made Feng Lin Tao feel relieved in his heart!

As for the subsequent morning court, the officials mostly submitted reports regarding the war, and Xu Qing also gained a rough understanding of the current situation of the war and the losses!

Overall, it was not optimistic!

The entire main hall also slowly became filled with a repressive atmosphere!

Feng Lin Tao listened, not daring to make any small moves in his heart; even in his view, if he could choose, he would rather not listen to these war affairs!

An hour later, the morning court ended, and Feng Lin Tao left respectfully!

Xu Qing did not move!

Until everyone in the main hall had left, the only ones remaining were Xu Qing, Chen Erniu, and the Empress and Xiang Ningyan!

Xu Qing stood up and bowed to the Empress!

"Majesty summoned me to stay here, I wonder what the instructions are?

"

The Empress's gaze fell on Chen Erniu!

Chen Erniu pretended not to see!

After a moment, the Empress spoke faintly!

"Xu Qing, you do one thing for me!"

Xu Qing's face showed no change upon hearing this, waiting for the following!

"I want you to find a way to capture Lanya alive; if you cannot capture her alive, bring her corpse back!"

Xu Qing's eyes revealed confusion!

"Lanya?"

Regarding this woman, Xu Qing had an impression, and through the dialogue between her and Feng Lin Tao in the Liaoxuan Cave in his memory, he could judge that Lanya seemed to have a very powerful background behind her in the West Moyu Holy Land!

But even so, it shouldn't be important enough for the Empress to pay attention to her alone!

Xiang Ningyan was also surprised; he also didn't know why his mother spoke like this!

"Lanya's identity is not simple!

"

Facing the doubts of Xu Qing and Xiang Ningyan, the Empress transmitted words with an expressionless face!

"The West Moyu Holy Land exists with two Great Emperors!

"

"One is suspected to have fallen!"

"Lanya is the descendant of that suspected fallen Great Emperor; according to my intelligence, her bloodline is pure in her family!"

"Bring her back, and I can use her bloodline to know whether that Great Emperor has truly fallen, and there are other uses!"

After the Empress finished speaking, she lifted her hand and took out a white jade cylinder!

This jade slip's material was special; it seemed to exist, yet it had a sense of illusion, as if it were formed by light, incomparably wonderful!

"If you encounter irresistible force on the way, Xu Qing, you can crush this light jade, and I will descend in person!"

The Empress waved her hand, and this light jade headed straight for Xu Qing!

Xu Qing grabbed it and immediately felt a thick

pressure radiating from within this light jade!

Xu Qing pondered for a while, and after accepting the order, he put the light jade away!

"Majesty, if I want to capture Lanya alive, I need to use Feng Lin Tao; only by using him as bait will Lanya appear!"

"However, this person is cunning, and involving life and death, it will be difficult for him to cooperate fully; he will definitely leave a way out for himself. If he is kept in the dark, then ordinary methods will also be detected by him. Once he knows he has become bait, I fear other twists and turns will arise!"

Xu Qing spoke slowly!

"What do you intend to do?"

The Empress looked at Xu Qing!

Before Xu Qing could speak, Chen Erniu, who had heard everything from beginning to end, had eyes that had long since lit up, and at this moment suddenly interrupted!

"I have a way."

He said, his lips moving slightly, transmitting sound to both Xu Qing and the Empress!

After a while, Xu Qing's face was strange, and Chen Erniu was incomparably proud!

The Empress had deep meaning in her eyes and spoke faintly!

"Approved!"

Xu Qing stood up, bid farewell to the Empress, and left the main hall together with the excited and expectant Chen Erniu!

And inside the main hall, Xiang Ningyan looked at Xu Qing's departing figure with longing; he wanted to go and follow, or ask what they were talking about... but beside his mother, he dared not leave without authorization!

"Yan'er, write an Imperial Edict!"

Just as Xiang Ningyan was yearning for the outside world in his heart, the Empress's calm voice echoed!

Xiang Ningyan immediately became solemn and lowered his head to say yes!

Just like this, five days passed!

After Xu Qing and Chen Erniu found Wu Jianwu, who had always remained in the Human Race Imperial Capital, and asked for the two golden little mice hatched with his experience...

An Imperial Edict was issued from the Human Race, informing the entire Wanggu Eastern Realm!

Conferring Feng Lin Tao as the Human Race's Sha Yu Heavenly Marquis!

And listing his merits!

"Turning from darkness to light, and reporting classified information of the Holy Land, saving huge losses for my Human Race."

"Himself fierce, irreconcilable with the Holy Land, hating all West Moyu clansmen to the bone, and alone slaughtering over a hundred intruders from the West Moyu Holy Land."

Once this edict was issued, the Wanggu Eastern Realm was immediately stirred!

Feng Lin Tao was immediately focused on by the entire Wanggu Eastern Realm, and various clans launched investigations one after another!

It was just that this was clearly not what he wished for... this kind of instant brilliance, becoming the focus, made him very uneasy!

And what made him even more uneasy was that in the month that followed, the development of events became increasingly astonishing!

In the large number of small-scale battles between the Human Race and the West Moyu Holy Land during this month, the number of victories for the Human Race increased suddenly, and even some of the Holy Land's war layouts were seemingly understood by the Human Race!

And every time, the Human Emperor would reward Feng Lin Tao!

Even protecting him and arranging quite a few personal guards to show importance!

With such behavior and such news, the West Moyu Holy Land could not possibly not know!

But only Feng Lin Tao himself understood that he did not know those war layout intelligence, so how could he inform...

However, as time passed, a scene that made Feng Lin Tao even more shocked appeared soon!

That was the Conferring of Kings.

Under the projection of the peerless array in the firmament, clearly visible to the Holy Land side...

In the wilderness outside the Human Race Imperial Capital, all the prisoners of war captured by the Human Race from the Holy Land side were kneeling there, densely packed, no less than ten thousand people!

Feng Lin Tao, wearing the Heavenly Marquis robe, stood in front of these prisoners of war!

The Empress's voice echoed in the heavens and earth!

"Feng Aiqing, although you are not of the Human Race, you are loyal to the Human Race, full of sincerity, and have made great military achievements, so today I confer

you as the Sha Yu Heavenly King."

"I know Aiqing hates the West Moyu Holy Land to the bone, so this Conferring of Kings will be celebrated with the blood of the West Moyu; Aiqing, you can slaughter at will."

All eyes were on him!

The Holy Land side was watching, the Human Race side was watching, Xu Qing and

various clans were gazing in anger!

And Chen Erniu, the expectation and excitement in his eyes were incomparably rich!

Feng Lin Tao's heart trembled, but he dared not show the slightest bit on his face; instead, he was filled with incomparable excitement, as if he were completely moved, bowing deeply toward the Imperial Palace and speaking loudly!

"Thank you, Majesty, for the fulfillment." ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
