In the middle of the area where the Divine Phoenix Army was located, a large red tent that looked like a flame was particularly eye-catching.
As the general commander of the Divine Phoenix Empire stationed in Liuyun City, Feng Huwei has been in a good mood during this period. Because he clearly knows how important the "mission" he is carrying out is. Being entrusted with such an important task is enough to show that the sect master and the elders trust and value him. After completing the mission, his status in the Phoenix Divine Sect is likely to be improved.
However, in the past two days, as the news came that the central army attacking Cangfeng Imperial City suddenly disappeared, he had been somewhat uneasy.
"Still no news from the main army?"
There were only two people in the big tent. Feng Huwei was dressed in light clothes, sitting on a wooden chair, holding a pot of strong liquor in his hand, and listening to the report of his deputy general with a frown.
"Not only the main army, but also the commander of the Western Army, Han Xingchao, and the fifty-second elder personally led 50,000 troops to the Blue Wind Imperial City to investigate last night, but there has been no news since then. They also brought tens of thousands of flame war horses and flying mysterious beasts, which should have been able to move freely, but..." Feng Huwei's first deputy general Tian Yi said as he showed a deep look of fear on his face. They have been on the battlefield for more than a hundred years, and they have never encountered such a horrifying thing. Those hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to have evaporated from the world in a breath.
Feng Huwei frowned and thought quietly. After a while, he slowly said, "Let hundreds of thousands of troops, including the three Phoenix elders, disappear in a short period of time without even the chance to transmit sound. To achieve this... unless a guardian of the Junxuan realm appears in the Blue Wind Imperial City!"
"Jun Xuan...Emperor!?" Deputy General Tian Yi raised his head and said in surprise, "How is this possible! The Xuan of the Blue Wind Kingdom is already the limit. Even the Overlord has not appeared in the thousand-year history, so how could there be an Emperor! Moreover, those who have the power of the Jun Xuan realm are like peerless emperors in the entire continent. How could they take action for a mere Blue Wind Kingdom?"
"Besides this, there is no other possibility. I believe that the Sect Master and the elders must think so as well." Feng Huwei said without hesitation: "If there is no emperor in Blue Wind Country... then what is that terrifying man in black in Floating Cloud City!"
Tian Yi was speechless. Thinking of the horrifying scene and the breath of hell half a year ago, his heart still tightened violently.
“I believe that the Sect Master and the elders should think the same.” Feng Huwei threw away the empty wine jug in his hand and said calmly: “But even if there is an emperor guarding the Blue Wind Imperial City, he can only defend it for a while! My Phoenix Divine Sect has twelve emperors! Does that person really think that he can provoke my Divine Phoenix Empire with the power of an emperor?!”
"General, you are right. Anyone who dares to provoke our Divine Phoenix Empire, even if he is an emperor, will seek his own death!" Tian Yi nodded and said, "The loss of 700,000 troops and the blood debt of the three Phoenix elders, I believe that our emperor will make him pay tenfold!" He paused, clasped his hands and said, "I have another important matter that needs the general's decision."
"speak!"
"Yes!" Tian Yi took two steps closer and lowered his voice: "Just this morning, our army lost eleven more people, and all the bodies were found several miles away..."
"Heh." Feng Huwei was not even surprised, let alone angry, because similar things had happened several times in the past six months. Every once in a while, a soldier would suddenly disappear. When the corpse was found, it showed signs of cruel torture, obviously tortured. He sneered disdainfully: "Don't worry about him. No matter what means they use, they can't get anything out of me."
"No, the situation is different this time." Tian Yi said immediately: "The bodies found this time have no external injuries, but their expressions are all stiff and dull. It is very likely that... they have been subjected to soul searches!"
"Soul search?" Feng Huwei frowned, and then snorted coldly: "They have the ability to perform soul search... It seems that after being unable to figure it out for such a long time, they finally sent some experts here."
"I think the general must pay more attention to his own safety," said Tian Yi.
“Don’t worry.” Feng Huwei waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “What about the Four Holy Lands? My Phoenix Divine Sect is protected by the great Phoenix God. They have the guts to kill our soldiers, but they don’t have the guts to attack this general. This general has the blood of the Phoenix and is protected by the Lord Phoenix God!”
"I worry too much." Tian Yi said respectfully. Seeing Feng Huwei's determined expression, he hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "General, why do we station troops here and 'train' every day? I dare not speculate, but after several months of this, the soldiers are quite..." When he said this, he suddenly felt that Feng Huwei's gaze became cold and grim. He shuddered and dared not continue. He hurriedly said, "I spoke out of turn. General, please forgive me."
"It's good to know that it was a slip of the tongue!" Feng Hu snorted solemnly, looked away, and said lightly: "Don't ever ask this question again. Just know that this is an order from the sect master himself! If we do it well, you and I can return home with honor. If we mess up, the consequences will be something that even this general can't bear! Shut up honestly about questions that you shouldn't ask. When you can know, you will know it naturally!"
"Yes!" Tian Yi responded quickly and dared not say anything more.
"Really? Unfortunately, it seems you won't have the chance to return home with honor."
A voice with clear sarcasm and arrogance suddenly came, as if it came from the void. Tian Yi suddenly jumped up from the ground and drew his sword in an instant: "Who is it?!"
This is the main tent of the army, and there are heavy military guards outside. Putting these aside, Feng Huwei is a powerful early-stage Overlord, and Tian Yi is also a third-level throne. This voice just rang in their ears, and they had not noticed it before. Although the two reacted very quickly, the hairs on their bodies stood up in an instant in horror.
Tian Yi held the sword in his hand and turned around quickly, but he didn't see any figure. He turned back and was about to approach Feng Huwei, but he saw that less than a step behind Feng Huwei, a young man in golden clothes stood there silently, with a cold smile on his face, and his pupils were as dark as a deep pool. The powerful Feng Huwei released his whole body of profound energy, his eyes were angry... but he didn't notice the young man behind him at all! !
Tian Yi's sword-holding hand tensed violently, and he shouted in shock: "General, you... you behind you!!"
Feng Huwei turned his head subconsciously and saw a face that was very close to him. Instantly, his pupils shrank and he stepped back like a spring. When he stood still, his whole body was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He pointed at the young man and was about to speak when he suddenly felt that this face was somewhat familiar. After a moment of daze, his face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice: "You...you are Yun Che!!"
“Oh?” Yun Che crossed his arms and sneered, “It is such an honor that the famous General Huwei of the Divine Phoenix Empire actually recognized me.”
“Yun… Yun Che?” Tian Yi turned to look at Feng Huwei: “Which Yun Che? Didn’t he… die three years ago?”
As a member of the Phoenix Divine Sect, Feng Huwei not only has the status of General Huwei, but also has profound strength as strong as the Tyrant Profound Realm, so he is naturally qualified to appear in the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament. How could he forget this face that trampled on the dignity of the Phoenix Divine Sect?
“You are still alive!” Feng Huwei said in a deep voice. If it was the Yun Che from three years ago, Feng Huwei would certainly not be afraid. However, Yun Che was less than a foot behind him just now, and he did not notice it at all! Even if he was a fool, he should know what level of strength it takes to be able to do this. Moreover, there was no fluctuation of profound energy on Yun Che’s body, but just under his gaze, he felt a deep palpitation. All of these proved that the Yun Che in front of him, who should have been dead long ago, had a power far more terrifying than that of three years ago.
“And you… are going to die soon.” Yun Che sneered in a low voice, and a beam of cold murderous aura had firmly locked onto Feng Huwei.
“Don’t even think about hurting my general!!” Tian Yi roared, holding his sword horizontally to block Feng Huwei, then gritted his teeth and stabbed Yun Che’s chest. He was getting more and more shocked. With such a big commotion here, the guards outside the tent didn’t react at all… Could it be that he had dealt with them all? But there was clearly no movement outside just now! !
At this moment, outside the big tent, the guards all had stern faces and did not look away… and a layer of colorless and invisible "Ice End Illusion Mirror" enveloped the entire big tent. Within the controllable range of Yun Che, no sound or breath could escape.
Wherever Tian Yi's sword went, a shocking vortex was created in the space. This sword seemed plain and simple, but it took all his strength. Yun Che did not move at all, allowing the sword tip to pierce his chest.
Seeing that Yun Che had no intention of avoiding him, Tian Yi’s eyes showed a hint of joy, and all the profound energy in his body surged forward, condensing into the tip of the sword, and fiercely stabbed Yun Che in the heart...
A sword that condensed all the strength of a throne could easily pierce even fine steel, but this sword pierced Yun Che's chest firmly without making any sound. Tian Yi felt as if his sword had suddenly pierced into the void, and the profound force that he had released with all his strength also exploded into this "void", disappearing without a sound or a trace...
Tian Yi held the sword against Yun Che’s chest, and stood there as if petrified. The next moment, the sword in his hand lightened, and the sword body turned into countless tiny dust particles, which scattered down, leaving only the hilt remaining in his hand.
Tian Yi's eyes were dull and unfocused, and his whole body was motionless. As the dust on the sword fell completely, he fell backwards like a piece of wood, his eyes wide open, and there was no movement... There was no scar on his body, but there was no sign of life anymore.
“Tian Yi!” Feng Huwei took a step forward, but immediately retreated quickly. He stared directly at Yun Che with an extremely gloomy expression… He did not see clearly how Yun Che killed Tian Yi.
“General Hu Wei,” Yun Che sneered at Feng Hu Wei. His murderous aura caused Feng Hu Wei’s entire body to convulse, and he dared not move. “I heard that a few months ago, when you led your troops into Floating Cloud City, you ordered to abduct my aunt?”
Yun Che’s voice suddenly turned cold: “You are so brave!!”
Yun Che's words made Feng Huwei's eyelids jump violently. He knew very well who Yun Che was talking about, because when he met Xiao Lingxi in Liuyun City, the two city lords introduced her to them attentively as Yun Che's aunt, which made him even more excited at the time. He immediately knew why this "resurrected" Yun Che suddenly came to him and had murderous intentions towards him... He had heard more than once that one of the strongest sects in Cangfeng Country was brutally wiped out by him because of the kidnapping of Yun Che's aunt, leaving no grass behind!
Feng Huwei calmed down and suppressed his fear, but a sneer appeared on his face: "You want to kill me? That depends on whether you have the courage."
“Oh?” Yun Che’s eyes twitched.
"You may be able to kill me now, but..." Feng Huwei stretched out his hand and pointed to his temple: "But in my heart and soul, there is a soul seal made by the sect master himself! If you dare to kill me, the sect master will instantly know the memory of my thirty breaths before death! Ha, if you dare to kill someone from my Phoenix Divine Sect, you will die even more miserably, and all the people related to you will also die miserably! If you have the courage, come and kill!"
“Really?” Yun Che’s expression did not change as Feng Huwei had expected. Instead, his expression became playful, and his sneer was even more mocking: “That’s really… great!!”
