Special War God

Chapter 126 Xu Dejing and Lang Zhengfeng

......

In Fengqi Mountain Range, outside a hidden immortal palace teleportation array, eight Return to Void Realm monks sat quietly below it, blocking the entrance. In the vast space directly in front of them, forty or fifty Return to Void Realm monks and more than a thousand Transformation Realm monks gathered, bustling and talking.

At this moment, another cultivator from the Returning Void Realm hurried over. It was Lang Zhengfeng, who had been away from the Fengqi Mountains for a long time. When he saw the scene before him, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The news about the appearance of the remains of the Immortal Palace in Fengqi Mountain Range had already swept through the fiercely fighting army like a hurricane. At first, everyone thought it was just a false rumor spread by Bai Zhige at a critical moment. However, as time went by, the news continued to spread, and the authenticity of the information was gradually confirmed.

Wen Yulou summoned Lang Zhengfeng, and since the situation on the battlefield was stalemate and it was difficult to determine the outcome in the short term, he sent him to investigate the matter. If there was indeed any benefit to be gained, the expeditionary army would certainly not miss the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

Lang Zhengfeng also hopes to take this opportunity to try his luck, and he thinks that Xia Zhongnan and the 13th Legion of the Chifang Army are still in the Feiyuejian area, and they are his potential helpers. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Feiyuejian, only Qian Xiangyang received him. It turned out that Xia Zhongnan had led the others to enter the Immortal Mansion first.

Lang Zhengfeng had no intention of getting too involved with Qian Xiangyang, so he left Feiyuejian alone and headed deeper into the Fengqi Mountains. At this moment, he felt a little disappointed. He had originally decided to follow Xia Zhongnan, but he couldn't help himself and led the Tongjiang Army and Xiangshui Army to meet with Wen Yulou. After several battles, although he had 10,000 elite cavalry and gained some military exploits, he missed the great opportunity of the Immortal Mansion Ruins, which made him feel uneasy.

Along the way, he secretly regretted it until he arrived outside the teleportation array and saw a chaotic scene. He searched among the crowd and found a familiar figure. His eyes lit up and he landed towards the person while shouting, "Brother Dejing, you are here too?"

This person was none other than Xu Dejing, the governor of Chifang Prefecture. At this moment, he was resting on the branches of an ancient tree with several of his followers. Hearing the shouts from the sky, he quickly raised his head and stood up, respectfully bowing and responding: "It turns out to be General Lang. I never thought I would meet General Lang here. Please allow me to go over and pay my respects to you!"

Lang Zhengfeng landed steadily on the thick tree trunk, patted Xu Dejing on the shoulder in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Dejing here by chance. I am really delighted!"

Xu Dejing, the overlord of Wu State, knew Lang Zhengfeng, the general of the Wu State court, but they did not have much contact on weekdays. It was normal for them to greet each other and exchange information when they met at this time. However, facing Lang Zhengfeng's sudden "closeness and enthusiasm", Xu Dejing was quite surprised and tried to step back, but was restricted by the branches under his feet, which made him look quite embarrassed.

Lang Zhengfeng realized that he had been a little too friendly just now, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, explaining: "Brother Dejing, please don't blame me. It's because half a year ago, I fought together with your daughter and nephew, and we became close friends regardless of age difference. Therefore, I am particularly friendly to you today. I hope you will forgive me if I offend you in any way!"

Hearing this, Xu Dejing asked in surprise, "You and my daughter and son-in-law have become close friends regardless of age? What's the reason?"

Lang Zhengfeng replied: "Your beloved Xu Qian is the daughter of your family, right?"

Xu Dejing said in a deep voice: "That is my second daughter, a heroine in the cultivation world."

Lang Zhenghong said with emotion: "It is indeed confirmed! My admiration for Brother Dejing is like a river flowing back. He can actually let his daughter join the war. If I hadn't experienced it myself, how could I have such lofty ambitions! After a deeper understanding, I realized more and more that Brother Dejing is far-sighted. I can't help but admire him sincerely for his foresight."

Xu Dejing was confused by him, so he asked: "What do you mean? You said Qingxia's cultivation has improved? And you mentioned my daughter and son-in-law? Could it be that Chengkui Immortal Lord has also been practicing in the army?"

It turned out that Xu Qian had already sneaked into the Thirteen Shura Army and headed for the Bai Kingdom. Xu Dejing had already anticipated this. Upon learning that the remains of the Immortal Palace had appeared in Fengqi Mountain, he did not send Xu Shouting to come, but came in person. One of his purposes was to find Xu Qian and bring her back to the family's place of cultivation.

However, Lang Zhenghong repeatedly mentioned "your daughter and son-in-law", which made Xu Dejing suspicious. He had indeed accepted the engagement gift from Wu Chengkui, the heir of one of the four great royal families. According to common sense, Wu Chengkui, as the heir of one of the four great royal families, should not be in the front-line army.

Lang Zhenghong was surprised to hear this. He saw Xu Qian often going in and out of Xia Zhongnan's cultivation residence, so he mistakenly thought that Xu Dejing also had a liking for the young cultivator Xia Zhongnan and wanted to take him as his son-in-law. Now he knew that this was not the case and was speechless.

Xu Dejing became more and more anxious when he saw this. He grabbed Lang Zhenghong's arm and asked for details: "What happened? Explain it quickly! Has my son-in-law, Prince Wu Chengkui, really joined the army?"

Lang Zhenghong suddenly felt mixed emotions, thinking to himself: "This is simply absurd! Xia Zhongnan, Xia Zhongnan, how dare you mess with the royal prince's fiancée? How dare you take her away without permission! If I had known this, you should have told me in advance, so that I wouldn't say anything wrong in front of Brother Dejing. Now how should I explain this matter?"

Lang Zhenghong cleverly changed the subject and said, "Brother Dejing, how do you explain the scene here? What are the eight guards planning to do standing in front of the Immortal Palace's teleportation gate? Are they trying to stop us from entering the Immortal Palace? Looking around, there are dozens of Return to Void Realm cultivators and nearly two thousand Transformation Realm strongmen gathered here. How long can these eight people hold us back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw out a series of questions, but Xu Dejing did not respond. Instead, he grabbed his arm tighter and asked, "Brother Lang, Qian'er has been away from home for more than a year. How is she doing now? Please tell me the truth! As for whether Chengkui Xianjun has really appeared in the army, please make it clear!"

Lang Zhenghong quickly clarified: "It was a misunderstanding. I might have recognized the wrong person! What is the truth inside this immortal palace? Let me go and find out!"

Xu Dejing was not willing to give up. He glared at Lang Zhenghong and shouted, "Lang Zhengfeng, what on earth are you hiding from me? If you don't explain Xia Zhongnan's matter thoroughly today, you can't go anywhere!"

Lang Zhengfeng said calmly: "As far as I know, your daughter has already entered the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Mansion. You should ask her for the details. As for the affairs between your families, I really have no right to interfere."

Xu Detai said in a deep voice: "Isn't Qian'er among the immortal soldiers? How can she enter and exit the secret realm of the immortal palace at will? Is this how you command your disciples?"
