Chapter 667: The Border Crossing

~27 min read 5,224 words

Green Water City, General Office of the Border Defense.

Liao Liao Zihui sat bolt upright in his chair and handed the processed travel permit to Li Li Banfeng: "From the 7th to the 10th and the 25th to the 28th of every month, the checkpoint will be open for eight days.

During these eight days, you may use the travel permit to make one round trip across the border. At other times, if there is an emergency, please notify the Border Defense Office in advance, and we will arrange for temporary passage based on the situation."

Li Li Banfeng also sat bolt upright, took the travel permit, and cupped his hands in thanks: "General Envoy Liao, many thanks to you!"

Liao Liao Zihui hurriedly returned the gesture: "Baiji Commandery is not having an easy time. Five islands, ten thousand people, fighting a bloody battle with the Inner Continent year-round—I feel heartache just looking at it.

Since Director Li took the lead and brought the matter up, the higher-ups have attached great importance to it and are resolving the problem immediately. The work that should be done on my end must be done thoroughly; I cannot let the warriors feel disheartened."

Li Li Banfeng glanced to the side; the cameraman and photographer had not yet left. He stood up and cupped his hands again in thanks: "On behalf of the warriors of Bai Sun Commandery, I thank you."

Liao Liao Zihui also hurriedly stood up: "Director Li, these words humble me. What does the little bit I've done count for? Director Li personally went to Bai Sun Commandery and fought side-by-side with the island residents. This magnificent feat truly fills me with admiration!"

The two stood facing each other, maintaining the posture of bowing to one another, and paused for a moment. Once the cameraman and photographer had left, the two returned to the sofa and sat down.

Liao Liao Zihui leaned back against the backrest: "I've finished speaking with Director Li; now I must say a few words to Brother Brother Qiye. I heard that the Three-Fork Underground City has already been taken over by Brother Brother Qiye."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "You can rest assured about this matter. Some businesses, I will continue to help you look after."

Liao Liao Zihui laughed: "With those words from Brother Brother Qiye, I truly have no worries. You also know that I am a man who intends to retire in Puluo Continent. Before I retire, I must save up some capital for myself.

Additionally, there is another matter I would like to ask Brother Brother Qiye about. It is rumored that the Saint of the Inner Continent has already died at Saintly Virtue Peak, and the Saint who ran to the Inner Continent is a fake. Has Brother Brother Qiye heard of this?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded and said: "I have heard of it."

Liao Liao Zihui then asked: "I also heard that the Saint has an orphan who has drifted to Three-Fork."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and said: "I have heard of this matter as well."

Liao Liao Zihui asked: "Brother Brother Qiye, is this true or false?"

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "Liao Zihui, I only learned of this matter not long ago; it is hard to say whether it is true or false."

After a moment of silence, Liao Liao Zihui poured a cup of tea for Li Li Banfeng and handed him a cigarette: "I've finished speaking with Brother Brother Qiye; now I must say a few words to Brother Li.

Whether this matter is true or false is very important to me. If I cannot figure it out, there will be many things I won't be able to handle clearly in the future."

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "Since you have asked, Brother, I will give you the truth. In my view, this matter is true."

Liao Liao Zihui said: "Brother, since it is true, how do you intend to handle this matter?"

Li Li Banfeng countered: "Brother, I would like to know how you intend to handle it?"

Liao Liao Zihui was silent for a moment, called the photographer back in, and then sat up straight: "Director Li, we intend to provide assistance within a certain scope to seek legitimate interests for the royal orphan, on the premise of not interfering in the internal affairs of the Great Shang Empire."

Li Li Banfeng also sat up straight: "I will effectively play the role of a balancer, creating favorable opportunities and conditions for further strengthening communication and collaboration between both sides."

Click!

The flash went off.

A peaceful smile remained on both of their faces.

After finishing the business at the Border Defense Office, Li Li Banfeng originally wanted to visit a few friends, but Luo Su Lijun had Luo Zhengnan send word that an old acquaintance of hers from Great Shang had arrived in Three-Fork and wanted to see the Saint's orphan.

This matter put Luo Su Lijun in a difficult position. This old acquaintance, named Hu Hu Chihong, was a scholar Luo Su Lijun had promoted from among the commoners. She stated that no matter the current situation, she remained loyal to the Luo family.

Luo Su Lijun did not know her intentions, nor did she believe in this so-called loyalty, but if she turned Hu Hu Chihong away, she might not be able to win back any of her old subordinates in the future.

Li Li Banfeng returned to Three-Fork; this current step was very important.

No matter what Hu Hu Chihong's intentions were, Li Li Banfeng decided to let her see the Saint's orphan.

Li Li Banfeng arranged for Juanzi and Hu Hu Chihong to meet in a desolate mountain on Black Yellow Beach.

That day, Li Li Banfeng hid in the shadows while the Luo sisters were in the open. Hu Hu Chihong crawled the whole way to the mountain, seemingly holding the Saint's orphan in extremely high regard.

But upon second thought, this Hu Hu Chihong was a butterfly over three meters long. Besides crawling, she only knew how to fly; other walking postures did not seem to suit her.

"To see Your Highness today is truly the good fortune of Hu's life. If I can assist Your Highness in inheriting the state and ascending the throne, Hu would be willing to die for you without regret!" Hu Hu Chihong performed a grand salute to the Saint's orphan.

Juanzi expressed her appreciation to Hu Hu Chihong.

Mengzi brought out the dignified aura of a martial artist, scrutinizing Hu Hu Chihong as if observing her thoughts.

Xiaoshan said nothing; he just watched indifferently.

This butterfly was quite good-looking; Xiaoshan had the thought of taking her into his harem.

After seeing the Saint, Hu Hu Chihong went to see Consort Frost.

This person was very good with words. Upon seeing Consort Frost, she first kowtowed and said: "Greetings, Empress!"

This single sentence elevated the status of the two innocents.

Liang Wu was quite proud. The Saint's disciple, Gong Ziming, waved his hands repeatedly from the side, signaling the sisters not to lose their composure.

Liang Cai's expression was icy as she said to Hu Hu Chihong: "Do not speak nonsense; I am not the primary consort."

Hu Hu Chihong hurriedly apologized: "It is truly the good fortune of three lifetimes for this humble minister to see the Imperial Prince and Consort Frost. I spoke without restraint for a moment; I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

After leaving the residence where the Saint's orphan lived, Hu Hu Chihong bid farewell to Luo Su Lijun: "When I return this time, I will definitely gather my former colleagues to follow our lord and carry out this great cause together!"

Luo Su Lijun hurriedly tried to dissuade her: "The time is not yet ripe; do not act rashly. All matters here must not be known to others."

Hu Hu Chihong promised to keep the secret for Luo Su Lijun. Luo Su Lijun exhorted her repeatedly, and the two bid a lingering farewell.

After Hu Hu Chihong left, Li Li Banfeng asked a question: "How did such a large butterfly come to Three-Fork? She is a pure-blooded Inner Continent person; can she just enter Puluo Continent if she wants to?"

Luo Su Lijun said: "She told me that it was Zhu Jin, Lan Qiao Yi, and Xie Gong who sent her to Puluo Continent to handle business. I haven't figured this out either.

Those who come to Puluo Continent to handle business are all Puluo Continent people. Wouldn't sending a pure-blooded Inner Continent person be the same as sending them to their deaths? Moreover, I haven't figured out how Hu Hu Chihong crossed the border."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You didn't ask her about these things?"

Luo Su Lijun said: "I asked. Hu Hu Chihong said she also learned a method of transformation and used a Puluo Continent identity to muddle through when crossing the border. I asked her to demonstrate the transformation, but she couldn't, saying she hadn't mastered the technique and couldn't use it these past two days."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "What does this have to do with the technique? Aren't all Inner Continent people who can transform remade in a furnace?"

"Yes." Luo Su Lijun nodded slightly, then kept stroking the conch shell with her hand.

The two didn't speak for a long time. Li Li Banfeng sighed and said: "Go call Luo Shaojun over."

"Okay." Luo Su Lijun carried the conch shell on her back, preparing to find Luo Shaojun, but after thinking about it, she put the shell down.

If she called Luo Shaojun over, she would tell Li Qi everything.

Rather than that, it would be better for her to tell Li Qi herself, to avoid incurring Li Qi's disgust.

"For us Great Shang people to transform into Puluo Continent people, it actually doesn't necessarily require being remade in a furnace; there are other methods.

We sisters used the shell-shedding method to transform. This is a unique technique of our Luo family. It requires leaving a part of our body inside the shell,

and bringing the other part outside the shell—."

It sounds simple, but this process is actually very complicated.

Luo Su Lijun explained it as colloquially as possible. She placed a set of special parts inside her shell. These parts could combine with Luo Su Lijun's body, and could also be separated from Luo Su Lijun's body, operating independently inside the conch shell to provide energy for Luo Su Lijun.

This type of craftsmanship requires expensive parts, precise techniques, and also requires extremely fine control over the equipment—which is what Luo Su Lijun called mastering the method of transformation.

As Li Li Banfeng understood it, this was equivalent to two complete sets of machinery that could be combined and separated according to need. Based on the information Li Li Banfeng currently possessed, this technology was out of reach for the Outer Continent.

"Haven't you thought about applying this technology to weapons?"

Luo Su Lijun pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, these methods have long been applied to weapons, but we have no way to bring the weapons out. Otherwise, Puluo Continent would have ceased to exist long ago."

This matter truly requires extra vigilance. Luo Su Lijun's tone did not sound like she was speaking harshly, nor did it sound like she was bragging; she was stating objective facts.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the conch shell: "If such a large conch shell can be brought out, why can't weapons be brought out?"

Luo Su Lijun shook her head and said: "The people of the Bai Sun Alliance have tampered with the roads. Weapons that are too large will get stuck in the road.

Some weapons that aren't too heavy can pass through the roads, but after passing the roads, they can't cross the border. There are several layers of borders between the Inner Continent and Puluo Continent. These borders have destroyed who knows how many of our good blades.

We have also tried modifying weapons to be extremely exquisite, but the number of exquisite weapons is limited, and their power is also limited. Plus, we cannot send too many troops to Puluo Continent; once there are too many people, they can't cross the border either. Once these exquisite blades reach Puluo Continent, they don't have much use."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Why are they useless? Find people with strong combat power, bring exquisite blades—not asking for many, just for quality—couldn't you also accomplish some things?"

Luo Su Lijun sighed and said: "It can't be done; nothing can be done. If it were elsewhere, perhaps some things could be accomplished, but not in Puluo Continent.

Under the firmament, across eleven continents and three thousand countries, when it comes to individual combat power, no place can compete with Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What place are you referring to by 'under the firmament'?"

Luo Su Lijun said: "You have a fairly high status in the Outer Continent; you should know some secrets. What I refer to as 'under the firmament' is the star system where the Dark Star you speak of is located.

Eleven continents refer to eleven planets; three thousand countries refer to the three thousand countries on those eleven planets.

We have recruited the strongest warriors from the three thousand countries. These people brought carefully crafted blades to Puluo Continent, but none survived.

But if you really let us bring enough troops and the most powerful weapons, we absolutely have the certainty to flatten Puluo Continent."

There is a cognitive difference between the two. When discussing technology, Li Li Banfeng and Luo Su Lijun have some communication barriers; he doesn't quite understand some of Luo Su Lijun's special terminology.

But the blades Luo Su Lijun spoke of truly brought a sense of oppression to Li Li Banfeng.

Luo Su Lijun reminded him: "In the Inner Continent, these heavy weapons are commonplace. Do you dare to take this trip with us?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Are you in a hurry to go? I still need to make some preparations here."

Luo Su Lijun thought for a moment: "If Hu Hu Chihong doesn't spread the word, we should be able to delay for a period of time.

She was originally a commoner; that she has today's achievements is all thanks to my care. I believe she can keep the secret, but for how long?

Perhaps three or five years, perhaps seven or eight months; that is still unknown."

"My lord, this subordinate saw the Saint's orphan; they are in Three-Fork." On the day Hu Hu Chihong returned to the Inner Continent, she immediately reported what she had seen and heard in Three-Fork.

Standing before her was a three-headed person. The head on the left was called Zhu Jin, the middle head was called Lan Qiao Yi, and the head on the right was called Xie Gong.

Zhu Jin asked: "How do you feel about the Imperial Prince's demeanor?"

Hu Hu Chihong replied: "Almost exactly the same as the Saint."

Xie Gong shook his head slightly: "He is merely a junior; to say he is the same as the Saint, I fear that is an exaggeration."

Hu Hu Chihong added: "My lord, I also saw Empress Consort Frost. Her appearance is extremely beautiful, her demeanor is dignified, and she has quite a majestic air."

Zhu Jin frowned: "The Empress you speak of refers to the rumored Consort Frost? This cannot be addressed casually.

I once sent people to secretly investigate the Saint's disciples; none of them have ever seen this Consort Frost."

Hu Hu Chihong said: "My lord, the Saint currently in the court may not be the Saint at all, and the disciples by his side may not necessarily be the Saint's disciples." "Presumptuous!" Xie Gong shouted angrily, "This concerns the state; how can your kind overstep your bounds!"

Hu Hu Chihong dared not speak.

Xie Gong and Zhu Jin both looked at Lan Qiao Yi, who was positioned in the center.

Lan Qiao Yi asked Hu Hu Chihong: "The so-called Saint's orphan and the orphan's wife—were they both found by Luo Su Lijun?"

Hu Hu Chihong nodded.

Lan Qiao Yi sneered and said: "This thief must be killed!"

"Qilang, come in a little closer, just a little."

Green Garden Building, sixth floor. Li Li Banfeng sent away the idlers and followed Xiang Xiang Hongying to learn the technique.

Xiang Xiang Hongying guided Li Li Banfeng to take a small step forward, letting Li Li Banfeng make the second mark.

"Qilang, have you remembered these two positions? Insert it right here; don't change the place!"

Li Li Banfeng carefully scrutinized these two marks and nodded slightly.

The technique "Hundred-Step Vertical and Horizontal" was not easy to perform inside the Personal Residence. The Old Master let Xiang Xiang Hongying out and even let her bring her combat power out to personally guide Li Li Banfeng.

Xiang Xiang Hongying's guidance was very earnest, but also very rough. She couldn't explain the logic of the technique clearly, only pointing and drawing on the ground, letting Li Li Banfeng leave marks according to her rules.

But this move was truly effective; the success rate was ridiculously high. Li Li Banfeng was considered a beginner, but by performing the technique according to the distance and speed Xiang Xiang Hongying marked, he succeeded seven or eight times out of ten.

This logic couldn't be explained clearly—where to run eighty steps, where to run sixty steps—Xiang Xiang Hongying knew at a glance, and her judgment was extremely precise. On this point, Nine Girls was far inferior to Xiang Xiang Hongying.

But once away from Xiang Xiang Hongying's marks, when Li Li Banfeng performed the technique himself, the success rate was pathetic.

After practicing for three days, Li Li Banfeng groped for some patterns. Seeing Li Li Banfeng still pondering carefully, Xiang Xiang Hongying advised him: "Qilang, don't think too much. This technique requires moving according to one's heart; thinking too much will ruin your brain."

Li Li Banfeng stared at Xiang Xiang Hongying for a long time and asked: "How old were you when you fought with my wife in the army?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying snorted coldly: "Why ask about that? It's all in the past."

"No, I must ask about this."

Xiang Xiang Hongying really didn't want to bring this up, but since Li Li Banfeng asked, she thought about it seriously: "At that time, I remember I was twenty-six, and Zhao Xiao Wan was twenty-seven."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Are you joking?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying blinked her large eyes and answered seriously: "Who is joking with you? I wasn't that young at that time; I was really afraid I wouldn't be able to get married."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What was your cultivation level at twenty-six?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying said: "The cultivation level was about the same as now, but the combat power was naturally much stronger than now."

"Cultivated to Above the Clouds at twenty-six?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying waved her hand: "That's not all. I was also one of the leaders of the traveling cultivators. This wasn't self-proclaimed; it was said by the Mad Craftsman.

Speaking solely of the traveling cultivator sect, even he might not necessarily be able to defeat me."

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "When did you enter the Dao sect?"

"Twelve." "Cultivated for fourteen years and became a leader of the traveling cultivators?"

"That's not it," Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head, "I became a leader of the traveling cultivators when I was twenty-three. I cultivated for eleven years in total."

Li Li Banfeng looked stunned: "And you didn't eat elixir pills?"

"I never eat those; that stuff hurts the body."

"How can there be someone like you?" Li Li Banfeng was speechless.

Xiang Xiang Hongying laughed: "Someone else once said that to you too."

"Who?"

"The one who sells groceries. He said I was the person with the best talent for traveling cultivation in this world. If I hadn't been constrained in the army and unable to walk around,

my cultivation level would be even higher.

He also found me a good place, specifically prepared for traveling cultivators, and told me to stop fighting and concentrate on cultivating there."

"Did you go?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying snorted: "Do you think I'm stupid? If there really were such a good place, would he tell me? Why didn't he tell the Mad Craftsman?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't know how to respond. The Grocer's evaluation was definitely correct; Xiang Xiang Hongying's talent had already exceeded Li Li Banfeng's scope of understanding.

Woo-woo, the sound of a steam whistle came from his ears. The old train sounded its whistle, urging Xiang Xiang Hongying to go home.

Xiang Xiang Hongying felt some regret: "These three days, I've been staying in this building; I haven't even gone out to take a look."

Li Li Banfeng returned to the Personal Residence, found a gauze scarf for Xiang Xiang Hongying, wrapped her face, and prepared to take her out for a stroll. He was also worried that Xiang Xiang Hongying would be lonely by herself, so he wanted to take his wife along.

The Personal Residence was unhappy: "Ah Qi, you want to take both residential spirits out, but you don't ask me?"

"Old Master, I was just about to ask you. Xue Yingying has only been out once in such a long time; it's quite pitiful. Let her stroll around the Underground City." "No!" The Personal Residence refused, "One residential spirit must remain behind!"

Li Li Banfeng still wanted to negotiate with the Personal Residence, but the phonograph spoke up: "Husband, I am currently pondering how to improve the Dark Bridge Cannon; I don't have time to go out.

You take Xue Yingying for a walk."

Xiang Xiang Hongying, wearing a veil, happily left Green Garden Building with Li Li Banfeng. After walking two steps on the street, in the blink of an eye, Xiang Xiang Hongying disappeared.

Where did she run off to?

Fortunately, Li Li Banfeng's cultivation was not low; he could see some traces. He returned to the building and found Xiang Xiang Hongying on the sixth floor.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying huddled in the corner, shaking her head repeatedly: "I'd better not go out; there are a few people outside."

Ever since Xiang Xiang Hongying had her eyes ruined by Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan, she had never seen what a city looked like again.

She had been out once near Elbow Mountain before, but that was the wilderness. No matter the era, such places were all about the same.

The Underground City wasn't a prosperous city, but it was indeed a city, and it was vastly different from the cities of Xiang Xiang Hongying's era. Just seeing the attire of the pedestrians and the storefronts of the shops scared Xiang Xiang Hongying.

Li Li Banfeng persuaded her repeatedly. Xiang Xiang Hongying gritted her teeth and followed Li Li Banfeng out the door again, clutching Li Li Banfeng's hand tightly the whole way, her palms full of sweat.

Seeing a train coming toward them, Xiang Xiang Hongying wanted to run again, but was pulled by Li Li Banfeng and brought onto the train.

This was a freight train in the city; this carriage was filled with shoes.

Sitting on the train, Xiang Xiang Hongying felt uncomfortable all over: "I have never liked trains. Although our home is on a train—Zhao Xiao Wan likes them; she likes these kinds of things. I really can't—"

Li Li Banfeng remembered something: "My wife is only one year older than you. When did she enter the Dao sect? Have you been cultivating for the same amount of time?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head: "I don't know when Zhao Xiao Wan entered the Dao sect. When we met, her cultivation level was already not low.

Her cultivation level also grew fast, but she is not quite the same as me."

"How is she not the same?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying thought for a moment and said: "Who said she was different? It seems it was Cong Cong Shixiang. Cong Cong Shixiang said she and we are not of the same seed-blood."

"Seed-blood?" Li Li Banfeng was stunned, "What seed-blood?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head: "I can't remember."

She had died once and lost quite a few memories.

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "What kind of place is the Inner Continent? Do you still remember?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked left and right, lowered her voice, and answered: "I'm really embarrassed to tell you, but I have never been to the Inner Continent."

What kind of answer is that?

Li Li Banfeng didn't believe it: "Didn't you fight for the Inner Continent?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying thought for a moment and said: "This matter depends on how you count it. We fought for the Saint; the Saint is considered to be of the Inner Continent.

But I was born on the King's Soil and grew up on the King's Soil. By the time the fighting ended, I died on the King's Soil. I have never left the King's Soil in my life."

"What kind of place is the King's Soil?"

"It should be the Puluo Continent you speak of," Xiang Xiang Hongying's expression was a bit awkward; even under the metallic texture, the awkwardness couldn't be hidden. "To tell you the truth, when I could first hear sounds, I didn't know what those words you were saying meant.

You said Puluo Continent, and I didn't know what Puluo Continent was. You said Inner Continent, and I didn't understand that very well either.

But since you all said it, I couldn't say I didn't know, so I had to try every method to echo what you said.

At that time, I only knew King's Soil, Demon Soil, and Saint's Soil. Later, when I thought about it, King's Soil and Demon Soil were originally both King's Soil, so King's Soil should be Puluo Continent, and the Inner Continent must be the Saint's Soil."

Li Li Banfeng smiled.

Xiang Xiang Hongying snorted: "What are you laughing at? Looking down on me?"

Li Li Banfeng stopped laughing. He absolutely had no intention of looking down on Xiang Xiang Hongying: "King's Soil refers to the Saint's territory?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying nodded: "Under the whole heaven, is there any land that is not the King's Soil?"

"Then what is the origin of the Demon Soil?"

"The Demon Soil is actually a remote territory. The Grocer, the Mad Craftsman, and the Bitter Ku Pozi led a group of people to rebel in that remote territory. The Saint said they were bewitched by the Demon race, so he called the territory they occupied the Demon Soil."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What is the origin of the Demon race?"

"The Saint didn't say what the origin was; the Saint never explains things clearly. In short, the Demon race is a foreign race, evil people with ill intentions."

"Does it have anything to do with the Demon Lord?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head: "I really don't know that. I don't even know who the Demon Lord you speak of is! I only know that Zhao Xiao Wan and I were ordered to fight. At first, we couldn't beat the Demon Soil at all. Although those people in the Demon Soil were scattered, their individual combat power was too strong. They could win battles that were unreasonable.

Later, the Saint's Soil sent people, and the Demon Soil was attacked from both sides. The Grocer went to fight the Saint's Soil to the death, leaving the Mad Craftsman and the Bitter Ku Pozi to hold the line here.

Zhao Xiao Wan had a good brain. Taking advantage of the dispute between the Bitter Ku Pozi and the Grocer, she defeated the Bitter Ku Pozi.

The Mad Craftsman was seriously insane at the time and made a big mistake halfway through the battle. Zhao Xiao Wan caught him red-handed and defeated him too.

Later, Zhao Xiao Wan was summoned back by the imperial court, and the Saint insisted on having her sing in the court. You should know something about what happened afterward. We were both thrown into prison for this.

We were both sentenced to be beheaded, but I didn't expect the Grocer to fight his way back. He beat the people sent by the Saint's Soil to a pulp, and he had two more helpers by his side: one was Lu Lu Qianjiao, whom you have met, and the other was the Heavenly Woman, who is a Heavenly Person.

The Saint was beaten into a steady retreat, and we were released from prison to fight again. At first, relying on Zhao Xiao Wan's clever brain and Yao Xin's ability, we sisters won a few battles.

But later it didn't work. That Grocer was also smart and didn't fall for Zhao Xiao Wan's tricks. The Mad Craftsman recovered; he wasn't insane anymore and started fighting battles properly with his group of disciples.

The Bitter Ku Pozi also understood the situation and stopped arguing with the Grocer, concentrating on fighting us. Our days became difficult."

Speaking of this, Xiang Xiang Hongying's voice became a little smaller: "I fought for more than ten years and knew which battles could be won and which couldn't. At that time, that battle could not be won no matter what.

My father was a famous general, and I was born into a wealthy family. I knew how evil the Saint's intentions were. When I saw the imperial edict in Cong Cong Shixiang's hand, I knew what it meant to be in utter despair.

I persuaded Zhao Xiao Wan not to fight anymore, but she wouldn't listen and wouldn't explain much. As a result, things turned out like that—."

Speaking of this, Xiang Xiang Hongying still felt a bit aggrieved. Li Li Banfeng knew about the things that happened afterward; he wanted to know something fresh.

"What Dao sect is the Heavenly Woman from? What is her specialty?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head: "I really don't know what Dao sect the Heavenly Woman is from. I saw her once; she was beautiful, as beautiful as Zhao Xiao Wan.

But she didn't fight me. She used the Profound Life Red Lotus to take away the corpses on the battlefield. Besides that, I have no other impression of her."

Li Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.

The Grocer and the Heavenly Woman were in the same army and were comrades who lived and died together; how did they become mortal enemies?

Xiang Xiang Hongying lay beside the carriage, looking earnestly at the scenery on the street, looking so intently, so fascinated.

Li Li Banfeng didn't ask any more questions. For Xiang Xiang Hongying, this period of time was too precious.

After sending Xiang Xiang Hongying back to the Personal Residence, Li Li Banfeng continued to study the technique. The next day, Li Li Banfeng received news from Luo Su Lijun: "An old friend from the Inner Continent wants me to go to Chaoge. Do you think I can go?"

PS: Do you all think I can go?
