Ever since the appearance of the Heaven's Emergence Ice Palace, the entire Trinity County had fallen into a world of ice and snow with no signs of stopping.
This cold was definitely a disaster for the ordinary people in Trinity. Some froze to death, some starved to death, and some died to the corpses' mouths … Too few survived.
Thousand Radiance was probably the only place that could still be considered a place where people could live.
The safest place in all of Radiance was the Yin Gou Ward because no one dared to cause trouble there.
The ward had nine floors with bronze pillars, flying eaves, and two zhang thick beams. It looked like a towering palace.
The Yin Gou Ward could naturally be considered a forbidden ground, and its security was extremely strict. Even if a fly flew through the window, it would be killed by the formations in the air, leaving behind only a handful of ashes.
However, there was one more place in the ward with the best spirit treasures. Old cultivators from the Yin Gou Clan guarded this place, so no one could take a single step inside.
This was the most guarded place in all of Radiance, but it was also the safest.
Feng Feiyun saw Bi Ningshuai in this place. This guy's expression was as black as ever, just like a piece of charcoal. At this moment, he didn't look like he was running for his life, nor was he as weak as Feng Feiyun imagined.
Not only was he not weak, but he was also enjoying himself!
"This Trident Red Phoenix's wing is not bad!
Fat but not greasy, very chewy. Only a three-hundred-year Red Phoenix would have such a taste, a two-hundred-year Red Phoenix is a bit lacking. "
"This plum wine has been stored for seven hundred years. Rumor has it that one can't find more than one hundred jars in the entire Jin Dynasty. What a great wine!"
Bi Ningshuai and Wang Meng were both here. One of them was eating a meter-long red phoenix wing while the other was drinking wine from a jug-sized bowl. There were also four maids with braided hair in purple saros waiting for them.
This was completely different from what Feng Feiyun had imagined!
"Brother Feng, you're finally here!"
"Martial Uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Seeing Feng Feiyun walk in, the two of them quickly put down the meat and wine in their hands and pulled Feng Feiyun to their seats, appearing to be quite attentive.
Feng Feiyun was full of doubts, but before he could ask, two maids brought over bronze wine cups and slowly poured a cup of prune wine. The smell of the wine was like flames.
Little Demoness also climbed up and ignored Feng Feiyun's glare. She picked up a qilin bone with her chopsticks and fed it to her kitty. The white kitty actually wanted to eat the bone and started chewing on it.
At this point, Feng Feiyun knew that he had been tricked by Little Demoness.
She was cute like an innocent little loli, but she didn't even blink when it came to deceiving others.
Ningshuai stood up and rolled up his sleeves before picking up his cup and enthusiastically said: "Congratulations on reaching the Grand Historical level, Brother Feng. I, Ningshuai, admire young heroes like you the most. Come, let me toast you."
Feiyun, on the other hand, remained motionless in his seat.
Wang Meng rolled his eyes and also slapped his thigh. He stood up and raised his cup: "Congratulations, Martial Uncle, for sweeping through the top geniuses of the heretical schools. Your fame has spread far and wide.
Let me toast you as well. "
Feng Feiyun smiled and said: "If the two of you don't make things clear today, then I won't drink with you."
The two of them were too abnormal. They used all sorts of methods to lure Feiyun to the Yin Gou Ward. Was it just to celebrate with him and invite him for a drink?
Ningshuai was a greedy guy who only knew how to trick others. Since when did he ever suffer losses?
Not to mention treating someone to a drink, even treating someone to a drink of water was enough to make his heart ache.
There must be something fishy about this abnormal situation!
Those who ate from others would have a soft mouth, while those who took from others would have a weak hand. Those who drank from others would have a weaker aura.
Feng Feiyun didn't dare to drink this wine!
Ningshuai and Wang Meng glanced at each other and sat back down.
Ningshuai said: "Brother Feng, why don't you eat something first? Each dish on this table is worth one hundred gold coins."
Feng Feiyun smiled: "If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving first."
Feng Feiyun stood up. Ningshuai and Wang Meng became anxious and rushed forward to stop Feng Feiyun: "The truth is that we invited you here to give you a big gift."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in the sky!" Feng Feiyun still wanted to leave.
"A free lunch really did fall from the sky this time, and a golden one at that!"
Wang Meng grabbed Feng Feiyun's neck from behind while Ningshuai grabbed Feng Feiyun's legs. They wouldn't allow Feng Feiyun to leave so easily no matter what.
In the end, Feiyun went back to his seat and said: "Speak!
What's going on? "
"Haha!
We're preparing to do a big deal, and only you can join us. "Ningshuai smiled mysteriously.
Feng Feiyun's fingers gently played with the wine cup as he took a sip. Ningshuai condensed his voice into a strand and sent it directly into Feng Feiyun's ears. Clearly, this was an important matter and he was afraid of others hearing it.
"Haha, Brother Feng, isn't this exactly what you want?"
"Pfft!"
Feng Feiyun spat out the wine on Ningshuai's face: "You guys actually dare to do this? Aren't you afraid that the heretical schools will tear you to pieces?"
"Haha, our pagoda is already at odds with the heretical schools. Even if we don't do it, if we are captured by the heretical schools, wouldn't we still be torn to pieces?" Wang Meng's temper was quite bad. He slammed the table, causing a deafening explosion.
Ningshuai wiped the wine off his face and added fuel to the fire: "Haha, this is definitely a great deal. Not only will we be famous in the world, but we will also be rich and beautiful. Most importantly, we will also be able to deal a heavy blow to the heretical schools' arrogance, so why not?"
Feng Feiyun pondered for a moment: "Is this the reason why you asked me to come?"
Ningshuai smiled: "I heard that Brother Feng has been robbing people in the past, so you're quite good at kidnapping women.
Brother, who else would be able to do this?
“
Feng Feiyun glared at Wang Meng, but Wang Meng was already one step ahead. He lowered his head and gulped down wine as if he couldn't see Feng Feiyun's desire to beat someone up.
"The ten prettiest women of the ten temples are not ordinary women. Capturing any one of them is not easy, let alone all ten of them." Feng Feiyun rolled his eyes at Ningshuai.
Although he had said that he wanted to capture the prettiest women as his mistress, it was only empty talk. It would be quite difficult to actually do it. Moreover, it might even attract the attention of the heretical schools' older generation. This was not something to be laughed at.
"It is precisely because of this difficulty that we have to do this properly."
Ningshuai whispered: "As long as we can capture one, Brother Feng will receive three millennium spirit grasses as a reward.
Capturing ten is equivalent to thirty spirit grasses. Don't you think this is a pie falling from the sky? "
At grand achievement God Base, Feng Feiyun urgently needed spirit grasses the most. With enough, he could reach peak grand achievement God Base in a short amount of time and reach first-level Heaven's Mandate.
This was indeed an irresistible temptation for Feng Feiyun, but he wouldn't be Feng Feiyun if he was so easily persuaded.
"It's easy to say. Do you think millennium spirit grasses are like cabbages? Not to mention three, even one is very difficult to find. Who can take out thirty of them?" Although Feng Feiyun had some speculations, he still asked.
"Others can't, but my Yin Gou Ward can."
The manager of the ward, Dongfang Yiye, came in with a friendly smile on his chubby face.
It was as if Feng Feiyun already knew that he was outside and wasn't surprised at all. He quietly sat in his seat and pondered about something.
"The Yin Gou Ward really dares to do any kind of business. Are they not afraid of offending the ten halls?" Feng Feiyun sincerely lamented.
It seemed like the buyer of this big deal was the Yin Gou Ward. They naturally wanted to buy the ten supreme beauties from the ten halls. As for the price they were discussing, no one knew.
This was indeed a big deal.
"The Yin Gou Ward is only a place to do business. We aren't doing anything bad, so why wouldn't we dare?"
Dongfang Yiye was an astute person sent from the Yin Gou Clan's main branch. He had the ability to rule the world and was not a simple character.
Feng Feiyun nodded his head and smiled: "So you guys came to me to push me into the limelight and become a rapist?
So I'll become the target of all the heretical experts? "
"Not a thief, but a hero who exterminates evil and upholds the dao.
So many women in our pagoda have been persecuted by those bastards from the heretical schools and are living in hell. At this time, a character like you should appear to reverse the situation. How exciting is this!
Uncle, the time for your name to go down in history has come. "Wang Meng spoke with conviction.
"Brother Feng, in your eyes, am I such a heartless and unjust person?"
Ningshuai covered his face as tears streamed down his face. He was filled with unspeakable grief and indignation. He threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground and whimpered with an indescribable sense of grievance.
Yiye still had a smile on his face as he said: "Young Noble Feng, you have wronged Young Noble Bi this time. The truth is that the one behind all of this isn't the demon's son, Feng Feiyun, it's the Thousand-man Commander of the Martial Army, Feng Daniu."
Feng Feiyun raised his brows and began to ponder. After a while, he asked again: "Why must it be me?"
"Because you already said so outside of the Apricot Manor, and now, this is completely reasonable." The tears in Ningshuai's eyes quickly disappeared.
Wang Meng spoke with a solemn expression: "Most importantly, this will deal a heavy blow to the heretical schools and even decide the outcome of the battle at the sacred lake.
Martial Uncle, you are not fighting alone. We are all your left and right hands. "Wang Meng said with a solemn expression.
