Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The green-robed man who was speaking was still casting a spell to heal his injuries, but he looked very energetic.

It was Song Qingming who had been fleeing around in the territory of the "Tianfeng Clan" not long ago.

The big man in black robe standing in front of him was an old acquaintance of Song Qingming, the "Dragon Wind Demon King".

It has only been more than a hundred years since they last met, and Long Feng, who was still in the late Jindan stage back then, has now successfully advanced to the Yuanying stage like Song Qingming, and has become a powerful Yuanying Demon King.

After Song Qingming and Wang Lingji separated that day, he was unlucky enough to be surrounded by many monsters and had to turn around and flee north.

Although he managed to escape from danger several times, Song Qingming was gradually driven to the bank of a big river by the incessant influx of the demon army.

Seeing a ray of dawn appearing in the distant sky, Song Qingming, who was unable to hide in the darkness, could only temporarily hide in the river to conceal his body.

But before he had to wait long, the big man in black robe who had been chasing him for a long time came to where he was hiding with a group of monsters.

Facing the monster that was getting closer and closer in the sky, Song Qingming was at a loss in the river and didn't know how to escape.

The big man in black robe in the distance suddenly gave an order and dismissed all the monsters under his command, leaving only himself.

Just when Song Qingming was a little puzzled, the big man in black robe transformed himself into his original form in front of him, and then shouted a name loudly into the river below.

This move once again shocked Song Qingming who was hiding in the water.

Although the memories of them were still very vivid after separation for many years, Song Qingming never expected that he would meet his old acquaintance "Demon King Long Feng" at this critical moment.

Seeing the very familiar figure in front of him and the name called out by the other party, Song Qingming did not hesitate and took the initiative to emerge from the water.

After being apart for a hundred years, neither Song Qingming nor Long Feng had ever thought that they would see each other again.

When he was chasing Song Qingming all the way last night, because it was too dark at first, Long Feng just felt that this person looked familiar but did not recognize him directly.

It was not until later that Song Qingming used his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", to cast a spell in order to escape from the pursuers. Only then did Long Feng behind him confirm the other party's identity.

However, Song Qingming did not recognize him at that time, and there were many other demon subordinates around him, so it was inconvenient for Long Feng to recognize him.

It was not until dawn that Song Qingming stopped and hid in the water.

Having found the opportunity, Long Feng dismissed the monsters that were chasing him and took the initiative to reveal his identity in front of Song Qingming.

After some questioning, Long Feng learned that Song Qingming and several others had teamed up to sneak into the territory of the "Tianfeng Clan" to steal the "Red Fire Spirit Liquid" but failed and were chased by the demon clan.

Afterwards, under Long Feng's intentional cover, Song Qingming followed to the nearby Lingshan Mountain where he temporarily lived.

We have been hiding in this cave under the cliff for several days.

Knowing that there were other masters of the demon clan everywhere outside, Long Feng originally wanted to let Song Qingming hide here for a while in order to search for their traces.

Wait until the storm is over, and then find a way to help him leave.

But now, a letter coming from afar invisibly interrupted Long Feng's thoughts, forcing him to come to the cave early.

"Don't worry, Brother Song. It's not safe outside yet. The Dharma Protectorate is still sending people to look for you.

If you go out now and run into someone from the Guardian Hall, you might find it difficult to escape, and I won't be able to save you then.

I came to see you today because I received a message from Her Highness, and she asked me to take you to Xianhuang City to see her!"

"Brother Longfeng! Are you saying that His Highness Huofeng wants to see me?"

When Song Qingming heard that His Highness, whom Long Feng addressed with great respect, wanted to see him, the first thing he thought of was the scarlet figure that kept appearing in his mind, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

After Huo Feng, Long Feng and others left, Song Qingming only knew that they left the "Floating Cloud Mountains" for some reason, and he didn't know where they went.

It was not until he met Long Feng again a few days ago that Song Qingming learned that he was a cultivator from the "Tianfeng Clan".

Thinking that the Fire Phoenix's true form was also Song Qingming from the Feather Clan, he casually asked about her news.

Back then in the "Floating Cloud Mountains", Fire Phoenix was indeed good to Song Qingming. If it weren't for her secret help, he wouldn't have been able to form the pill so smoothly and get to where he is today.

Now that he has come to Long Feng by chance, Song Qingming naturally wants to know about Huo Feng and wants to meet her to reminisce the past.

However, when Song Qingming asked if he could see the Fire Phoenix, Long Feng looked somewhat embarrassed and did not answer him directly.

He just promised to help Song Qingming pass a message to Huo Feng and tell him what happened here!

As for whether the other party is free to see him, that all depends on Huo Feng's own decision. He has no way of deciding this matter.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Song Qingming received the news that Huo Feng wanted to see him. While feeling a little surprised, he was also a little excited.

"Brother Song, Her Highness agreed to see you, but it is not convenient for her to come to my place, so I have to ask you to come with me to Xianhuang City to see her."

"Brother Long Feng, where is this Xian Huang City and how far is it from here?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Long Feng quickly replied:

"Xianhuang City is the holy land of our Feather Clan. It's not too far from here. If we set out now, we can get there in about two days."

"The holy land of your Feather Clan! Can I go there too?" Upon hearing this, Song Qingming suddenly thought of something and the smile on his face paused slightly.

Seeing that Song Qingming looked at him with a bit of doubt in his eyes, Long Feng hurriedly smiled and nodded at him:
"Don't worry, my dear brother. Since His Highness asked me to take you to see her, everything has been arranged. You will definitely not be in any danger.

However, in order to avoid exposing your identity, I need to inconvenience you a little bit."

"No problem!"
-
In another stone palace to the west of "Xianhuang City".

A fire phoenix in red was sitting on a stone chair, and not far in front of it were five or six human cultivators standing in a row.

These human cultivators were both male and female and of different appearances. Although their cultivation had reached the late Jindan realm, they stood in place at the moment and did not dare to look directly at the two people sitting in front of them.

After taking a careful look at the crowd, Huo Feng's gaze shifted to a young man with an ordinary appearance, and then he raised his hand and pointed lightly at the big man in golden armor next to him.

"Uncle Jin Yu, I want this person, you can let the others go back."

Seeing the young man chosen by Fire Phoenix, whose cultivation was only at the seventh level of Golden Core, the "Golden Feather Demon Emperor" sitting next to him looked a little surprised.

However, the "Golden-Feathered Demon Emperor" did not say much. He just nodded after a moment of silence and waved his hand to let everyone leave the stone hall first.

When only himself and Huo Feng were left in the hall, he took out a white jade token.

“You can take the person with you, but I have to tell you in advance, if he has an accident or dies outside.

You must come to me to explain this matter and compensate the market with two high-level spiritual herbs."

"Don't worry, I understand all this!"

After taking the white jade token handed over by the "Golden-Feathered Demon Emperor", Huo Feng's expression did not change much. He nodded slightly and prepared to get up and leave.

But before Huo Feng could move, a voice suddenly came into her ears.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the Fire Phoenix gave him a doubtful look, the "Golden-Feathered Demon King"'s hand flashed and he took out a purple cloth bag from his body.

"Your trip to the Heavenly Demon Valley this time is not only related to your personal path, but also to the reputation of our Feather Clan.

This item has been with me for many years, please accept it first, it may be useful to you at a critical moment."

Seeing the purple cloth bag in front of him, Huo Feng did not take it, but directly asked the other party:
"Is this something Uncle Jinyu wants to give to me, or did the clan leader instruct you to do so?"

"this.."

Hearing Huo Feng's serious question, the "Golden Feather Demon King" was slightly embarrassed, but he soon calmed down and sighed:
"You guessed right, the clan leader asked me to give it to you.

But don't think too much about it. After all, you are not the only one in the clan who will go, and everyone else will also have what they need.

Compared to them, your cultivation is still a little insufficient, and the clan leader just hopes that you can return safely."

After hearing the explanation from the "Golden-Feathered Demon Emperor", Huo Feng stood there in silence for a moment, but still took the purple cloth bag that the other party took out.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the Fire Phoenix's departing back, the "Golden-Feathered Demon Emperor" who was standing in place breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to leave the hall in another direction.
-
From the southwest of "Xianhuang City", several beams of light flew quickly and landed directly outside the castle.

After Long Feng, who was dressed in a black robe, landed, he carefully glanced around, and then walked towards the city gate with several demon kings behind him.

The monsters guarding the door saw Long Feng coming from afar and immediately bowed to him.

After taking out a token in his hand, the gatekeeper demon king saw the black token and said nothing. He immediately opened the city gate and let everyone in.

Just when Long Feng and others arrived in front of a stone palace, a man in green clothes suddenly walked over from a distance.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Long Feng?

Why did you suddenly return to the holy land when you were not helping to search for human monks in the south?
What good stuff is hidden in this box? Could it be that you have captured the human monk who escaped? "

As the man in green spoke, he kept staring at the huge wooden box carried by a demon king behind Long Feng, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Seeing the man in green walking towards him, Long Feng let out a breath and immediately turned around to look at the other person with some displeasure on his face.

"Lei Xiao, I don't think I need to report to you where I go or what I do!
Today, Her Highness Huo Feng is here to talk to me about something. If you don't believe me, you might as well come with me and ask her in person." "Haha! What's wrong, brother Long Feng? I was just a little curious and asked casually, but I didn't mean anything else. Why are you so angry!"

Seeing that Long Feng's tone was a little unfriendly, the man in green shirt hurriedly explained with a smile.

However, Long Feng didn't pay much attention to the other party. He turned around and walked into the stone hall in front with several demon kings behind him.

After Long Feng and his companions disappeared, the man in green who was standing there turned around, put away the smile on his face, and a somewhat ugly look appeared on his face.

"Hmph! Don't think you are so powerful. If I hadn't flattered His Highness and looked up to you, how could you, a creature that has not yet developed its intelligence after four hundred years, have the qualifications to speak to me like this!
It's really strange, why did he bring such a smelly box here, is the thing inside also for His Highness?"

After muttering to himself, the man in green shirt shook his head with a puzzled look on his face and left the spot.

Long Feng walked into the stone hall and soon arrived at the gate of a courtyard behind the hall. He then waved his hand to ask several demon kings behind him to stop.

"I will talk to His Highness alone later. You just need to stay outside. No one is allowed to come in without the order from His Highness and me."

After saying that, Long Feng took the huge wooden box handed to him by the Demon King beside him, then turned around and walked into the courtyard at the back.

When they arrived in front of a wooden house, Long Feng gently knocked on the door.

"come in!"

Hearing a clear and pleasant voice coming from inside, Long Feng hurriedly pushed the door and walked in. He saw a woman in red standing in front of him with her hands behind her back. She slowly turned around and looked at him.

"Did you bring what I wanted?"

Hearing the question from the woman in red, Long Feng hurriedly and carefully closed the door, then placed the wooden box in his hand on the ground and cast a spell to break the seal on the box.

"Brother Song, we've arrived, you can come out now!"

As soon as Long Feng finished speaking, a flash of light appeared at the wooden box in front of him, and then a green figure emerged from the box.

Song Qingming, who had just found his balance, saw Long Feng and a familiar figure standing beside him. A wave of memories suddenly flooded into his mind. He smiled and raised his hand to salute the Fire Phoenix in front of him.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years. I am very honored to meet you."

Looking at the polite Song Qingming in front of her, Huo Feng couldn't help but smile slightly on her originally cold face and nodded gently to him.

“After all these years, not much has changed.

But I still didn't expect that the little foundation-building cultivator back then could actually form a Nascent Soul. It seems that I really underestimated you back then."

Seeing that Fire Phoenix was full of surprise after seeing his cultivation, Song Qingming waved his hand modestly and said:

“If it weren’t for your help and the opportunities that Your Highness gave me, I probably wouldn’t have come this far so quickly.

To be honest, my achievements today are inseparable from the kindness you showed me back then!"

"It's rare that you can still remember all this, so I think the opportunity I gave you was not in vain."

After Huo Feng finished speaking, she signaled to Long Feng who was standing beside her, and then took Song Qingming to sit aside.

Seeing this, Long Feng nodded hurriedly, walked out, and carefully closed the door.

After Long Feng left, Huo Feng waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier at the door, then picked up a cup of spiritual tea on the table and handed it to Song Qingming.

"I don't have anything good to treat you, so I'll just ask you to drink a cup of spiritual tea."

"Your Highness, you are joking. I came to visit you on purpose this time. How dare I say that I am wronged?"

After saying that, Song Qingming's hand flickered, and he took out a large bag of spiritual objects he had prepared from the storage magic tool, and presented it to Huo Feng with a respectful expression.

"I came here in a hurry this time, so I only brought these with me. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"You are thoughtful enough to bring so many good things with you when you go out."

Seeing that Song Qingming had taken out more than a dozen bags of spiritual tea one by one from the bag, as well as many of her favorite delicious spiritual objects that had already filled up the stone table in front of her, Huo Feng's face showed a hint of surprise.

If Huo Feng hadn't known that Song Qingming had come to the "Northern Frontier" with Xia Mo and the others to steal spiritual objects and that was when they met Long Feng, Huo Feng might have thought that he had come all the way here specifically to give her a gift.

Hearing Huo Feng praising him, Song Qingming couldn't help but smile.

The reason why he carries so many delicious spiritual objects with him is actually because Song Qingming himself is a foodie.

Knowing that the journey to "Northern Frontier" was long this time, he brought more with him, and wanted to give some to Xia Mo and others on his return trip.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly and Song Qingming accidentally saw the Fire Phoenix in the "Northern Frontier", so he just took it out and put it to use.

However, what surprised him was that compared to every time he gave her gifts in the past, Huo Feng always accepted them readily with a happy look on his face.

This time, seeing Song Qingming taking out so many things he liked, although Huo Feng had some joy on his face, he was not in a hurry to accept these things.

After glancing at the spiritual object on the table, her eyes turned and fell on his face, and her expression immediately became serious again.

"I heard that you came to Northern Frontier this time for the Red Fire Spirit Liquid?"

Hearing Huo Feng's question, Song Qingming naturally knew that the other party must have known about his affairs a long time ago, and nodded quickly in response:

“Your Highness is right. This time I came to the Northern Frontier to look for the Red Fire Spirit Liquid with a few friends.

However, I did not know that Your Highness was a cultivator from the Tianfeng clan, so I came here by mistake. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for my sin."

Facing Song Qingming's apology, Huo Feng shook his head slightly and said:
“The Scarlet Fire Spirit Liquid may be of great use to you human cultivators, but it is of little use to us demon cultivators, otherwise we wouldn’t have waited for you to come here and steal it.

However, I still want to remind you that the reason why there are occasional rumors about similar high-level spiritual creatures in our demon clan’s territory is that some of them are actually released deliberately to lure you.

You may meet Long Feng this time, but you may not be so lucky next time. Don't take things too lightly."

When he was blocked by the woman in purple in the cave that day, Song Qingming always felt very strange in his heart, wondering how the other party could appear there so quickly.

Now after hearing Huo Feng's reminder, he finally understood a little bit. This time, the four of them might have fallen into a trap that had been set by the other party long ago.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little scared.

These years since he had formed his infant, he had finally stood at the top of the world of immortal cultivation and no longer needed to be so cautious and worry about the threats around him.

At the same time, as his cultivation level improved, Song Qingming's mentality gradually underwent some slight changes, and he relaxed his vigilance about many things around him.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness! It is true that I did not think carefully enough this time.

But the Red Fire Spirit Liquid is indeed important to me, otherwise I would not have come here to take this risk."

Hearing Song Qingming's reply, Huo Feng's expression changed slightly, and suddenly he smiled and said:

"If you really need the Red Fire Spirit Liquid, it's not difficult for me to make it, but!"

Having dealt with the Fire Phoenix for many years, Song Qingming naturally knew the character of this demon prince very well.

Seeing that the other party's tone of voice was somewhat suggestive, he immediately understood what was going on, stood up, bowed, and responded to him sincerely:
"Your Highness, please feel free to tell me what you need. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"As long as you can help me, I will find a way to satisfy you no matter how much Red Fire Spirit Liquid you need."

"Help! May I ask, Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that the other party did not want spiritual objects but wanted him to help, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a look of confusion.

Although Song Qingming still doesn't know the specific identity of Huo Feng, but from the fact that Long Feng, the Demon King who has broken through the Nascent Soul stage, is respectful to her.

Song Qingming guessed that the identity and status of the Fire Phoenix would definitely not be low among the "Tianfeng Clan" of the ten major demon clans.

Logically speaking, with the powerful strength of the "Tianfeng Clan", it would not be difficult for Huo Feng to find a Nascent Soul cultivator who is stronger than himself to help.

Moreover, this place is located in the "Northern Frontier" demon clan territory. I can hardly protect myself here, let alone help others.

Song Qingming really couldn't understand why the other party would take the risk of attacking him, a human cultivator.

Seeing the doubt in Song Qingming's eyes, Huo Feng also stared at his face, and after a while, he replied:

"If you are willing to help, in addition to the Red Fire Spirit Liquid, I can also agree to one more achievable condition for you.

Even if I owe you a favor!"

"this."

Seeing that the other party did not answer his question but instead raised the stakes, the confusion on Song Qingming's face deepened a little bit. However, Huo Feng's next words made him look more surprised.

“Of course, the favor I want you to help me with is not that simple, but this matter is very important to me, so I can’t tell you directly now.

Otherwise, if you knew the details, you would not be able to refuse it.

But don't worry, although this matter is a bit dangerous, I won't let you accompany me to die.

As for whether or not to make this deal, you can think about it here first and give me an answer later."

After saying that, Huo Feng stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the still somewhat surprised Song Qingming alone in the room. (End of this chapter)
