Ming Qi and Ming Yu have been anxious for the past two days, but they couldn't show it at all on the surface. Today, they finally waited for the time agreed with Li Yan. Ming Qi kept suppressing the idea of going out immediately.
It wasn't until she felt that the appointment time with the old man in gray was about the same that she told Ming Yu some things to pay attention to, then pretended to be solemn and left the second line of defense camp.
While Ming Qi is flying in the air, she is constantly vigilant about her surroundings. Except for the sneaking Black Devil Race scouts who may take action against her, there should be no other situations.
What the other three Phoenix clans don't know now is that it is certainly impossible for the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan to have any unfavorable intentions towards her during the war, and it is even less possible for the Red-Eyed Flame-horned Beast clan to attack their allied monks.
Ming Qi had to pay attention to whether someone was secretly following her. After flying a certain distance, she found that everything was just unnecessary worry.
She has been flying along the route agreed with the old man in gray. Ming Qi's speed is not too fast, and she doesn't know where the old man in gray will appear.
The two parties only agreed on the time and route, but the specific location of the meeting was not determined by either party.
This is something that the two of them deliberately avoid. If everything is confirmed, then if someone wants to set an ambush, it will be too easy.
Even though neither of them has any thoughts in this regard, they are very clear about how to do it specifically and will not put forward unrealistic words at all.
This is no longer a matter of not trusting each other, but a matter of leaving the most fundamental safe space to make each other feel more at ease.
Until Ming Qi flew to about 30% of the distance from the first line of defense, she had already arrived above a huge lake.
Since the battlefields on both sides have not yet reached this place, the lake here looks like a magnificent blue gem when viewed from the sky, set against the blue sky and white clouds.
The surroundings of the huge lake are covered with verdant wild grasses, dotted with unknown wild flowers of various colors, constantly exuding fragrance.
In the lake, many fish are swimming back and forth in the clear water. Occasionally, a bird will suddenly swoop down from the sky, and then quickly rise from the lake surface...
While bringing out a splash of water, a series of water droplets will also fall from the sky. The birds will often catch a fat or thin fish at their feet, fluttering their wings and flying quickly towards the distance in the sky.
The bird that successfully catches its prey will also emit a crisp bird song to the sky, seeming to be laughing with satisfaction!
On the lake below, the fish had already been frightened and swam away. After quickly separating, they also dived deeply into the depths of the lake.
But it won't take long at all, after the lake becomes calm, the hidden fish will happily swim close to the water again.
In the water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, all this seems to be drawn into an ink painting...
Ming Qi saw the scene below from the air. Although she had seen the scenery here before, when she passed here some time ago, she either had something to do and was in a hurry, or she was in a bad mood and passed by in a hurry without paying careful attention.
But today, when she deliberately slowed down and passed by here again, when she looked down from the sky, Ming Qi felt like the world was like a mirror.
Looking at the sapphire-like lake surface and listening to the birdsong echoing in the distance, Ming Qi felt a sense of emptiness and profoundness in his mind...
"Immortal Spirit Realm, a place where immortals and all creatures grow. Since heaven and earth have given us such a fairyland, why do we have to fight to the death to see who is stronger..."
Ming Qi Looking at this pure land-like place, I thought about the mountains and rivers just in front of me, which were originally so beautiful and quiet.
But now it has been turned into a large area of scorched earth by the flames of war, and the mountains and ground there are soaked with the blood of my own people!
And maybe it won't be long before here, the same place will be littered with corpses and devastated!
In such a fairy land, my own tribe is living in the shadow of others day after day. The once powerful Undying Underworld Phoenix has become like a chicken with broken wings...
Ming Qi When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my heart for a moment, and at the same time I was murmuring in my mouth.
And when she was looking at the lake below, her eyes suddenly stopped somewhere on the shore, and her whole body was immediately suspended in the air.
A figure suddenly appeared in the grass on the shore of the lake. That figure suddenly appeared when Ming Qi glanced over!
The other party's appearance seemed very sudden, but everything seemed very natural, because there were no branches or leaves in the grass there.
The appearance of that figure was more like a white cloud floating in the sky, blocking the sun and casting a shadow. It was so natural and coordinated.
It was an old man in gray clothes. The other person also raised his head and looked at Ming Qi, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Senior!"
Ming Qi The moment he saw the old man in gray clearly, his eyes lit up and he spoke quickly and softly.
The old man in gray clothes is still so elusive. Although she Divine Sense has been exploring the surroundings, Ming Qi actually knows that even if she knows that the other party will come as promised, she will most likely not be able to find him.
But she still wanted to give it a try, and it turned out that it was where the other party was. She had scanned it with Divine Sense before without noticing it!
The aura of the old man in gray blended perfectly with his surroundings, but at this time today, she had already seen clearly the opponent's cultivation level, Void Refinement Realm early stage!
The last time, she and Ming Yu couldn't see each other's realm at all. Ming Qi couldn't help but softly called each other "senior".
Almost at the same time, a figure flashed in the air, and Ming Qi landed on the shore of the lake.
When she instantly approached the old man in gray, the old man in gray waved his hand gently, and Ming Qi suddenly felt that there was a spatial fluctuation in the face of her.
Then she felt as if she had passed through an invisible light shield in an instant. It turned out that the old man in gray had also placed a layer of restrictions here, but she still failed to notice it.
Just as Ming Qi landed in front of Li Yan, Li Yan pinched the magic trick in his hand again, opening the restriction here again.
However, after the restriction was opened this time, the two figures immediately disappeared on the shore of the lake, and the entire lakeside once again returned to its previous empty and quiet appearance...
In the invisible mask, when Li Yan watched Ming Qi fall, a pair of incomparably beautiful eyes looked at him instantly.
Li Yan is no longer delaying at this time. After explaining some things here, Ming Qi still has to wait to go back. The difference in time cannot be too big.
"Black Devil Race I have contacted people I know well. They take this matter very seriously, so they have given relevant replies in a very short time, but they also raised some questions..."
Li Yan carefully repeated Geer Yuan's words to Ming Qi. When Ming Qi heard Li Yan's opening words and Black Devil Race did not refuse, her heart beat wildly.
After the fall of the Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan, they had no ability to fight against the powerful Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan. Even if they have found the inheritance now, they still can't do it.
The other party has already discovered that something is wrong, but is not as patient with them as it was before, and no longer gives its own tribe more time to recover.
This made Taishang Great Elder continue to endure the humiliation, but he still couldn't stop Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan from adjusting his strategy and launching a devastating suppression.
Now Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan is like a chicken. Even though he has the stubbornness in his blood, he does not have the ability in his true blood.
Once they resist forcefully, based on their understanding of the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan, they may not be able to exterminate the clan, but the other party will definitely use more humiliating methods to control them and their descendants for generations...
At that time, the other party will completely tear off even the last veil of hypocritical warmth, making life worse than death for the Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan generations!
Therefore, in the past few days, Ming Qi and Ming Yu have been extremely worried. Just as Black Devil Race and Li Yan predicted, they did not spread these plans to spread this matter back to the clan in advance.
They are just waiting for the result of the old man in gray. If Black Devil Race agrees, then with the strength of the other party behind the scenes, Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan will definitely get rid of the current situation as long as he plans properly.
But if Black Devil Race doesn't agree, in the best case scenario, the two sisters will still live in the same situation.
The worst case scenario is that after Black Devil Race refuses to agree, he will use this opportunity to drive a wedge between the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan and create a gap between them from within. This strategy may be more direct and faster!
Therefore, in order not to implicate the ethnic group, the sisters had to fight the consequences themselves. They were just Void Refinement Realm monks, and Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan had too many ways to find out the result.
Therefore, Ming Qi could not tell the clan members about this matter in advance. Ming Qi also knew what his sister said that day, and there was no problem at all.
Although Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan seems to be struggling feebly, this kind of opportunity may only be this time for his tribe, and may never appear again in the future.
Who would have expected that the mysterious old man in gray clothes would really explain Black Devil Race, which made Ming Qi's beautiful eyes instantly shine with a crystal light. She listened carefully to every word the old man in gray clothes said.
She knows that as long as Black Devil Race has the intention, now that Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan is participating in the war, Black Devil Race will definitely hate it, so this is definitely a rare opportunity for the Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan.
"... The situation is like this. This is especially the case with the other three Phoenix races. If you are not sure, just don't leak any information. On the contrary, it will infinitely increase the possibility of your race escaping.
Black Devil Race has also promised that it will not give up this cooperation just because you are the only one who has this intention. On the basis of mutual benefit, we will do our best to help your clan get out of trouble.
So you have to be well aware of the affairs of the other three clans first. After I arrive, I will listen to the clan supreme leader Great Elder's suggestions and plans for this?
If I think there is something wrong with his plan, I will also advise him to abandon those three tribes. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the end, it will be too late for you to regret it! "
After Li Yan finished speaking, he brought up what he was most worried about again.
Of course it would be better if the three tribes could leave together. This would also maximize the benefits for Black Devil Race. However, if you understand the situation in the past, you will find that there are many problems in it.
Then Li Yan will definitely urge the other party to give up, as he said now, because in his heart, he also wants to ensure that after working so hard, he will not fail to achieve his final goal.
Although this is also out of Li Yan's great selfishness, it is also to ensure that Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan's plan will eventually succeed.
Over at Black Devil Race, Mo Kan put it lightly. Only the Undying Underworld Phoenix family is willing to cooperate, and they will do their best. This is simply a sign of the other party's cunning.
Even if only Undying Underworld Phoenix betrays them, how can Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan and others still trust the other three Phoenix races?
Black Devil Race sees this very clearly, and the result can still achieve the purpose of weakening Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan's strength.
"Of course there is no problem. Taishang Great Elder has always done things very carefully. What we said last time only represents my personal opinion. You don't need to tell me the risks involved, we are also very aware of them.
We will not let Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan lose a good opportunity in order to retaliate against the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan or to further damage their strength. "
Ming Qi's stunning face was solemn and she said equally seriously.
As long as Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan can escape the control of the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan, Taishang Great Elder will not let the other three clans become a life-threatening black hole for his own clan in order to cause Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan to lose more.
At the same time, she heard Black Devil Race's promise again. Even if only her own clan had such intention, the other party would do their best to do it. This gave Ming Qi more confidence.
"One more thing, the process of my acquaintance with you involves the inheritance of your clan, so what Black Devil Race and I said, the process of my acquaintance with you is..."
At this time, Li Yan once again reminded me of other things.
Ming Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but admire the old man in gray for his thorough consideration. If the old man in gray wants to help Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan, he must have a reasonable reason.
If the old man in gray clothes only had casual acquaintances with members of his clan, then Black Devil Race must have had doubts and more suspicions about the old man in gray clothes' sudden proposal.
But if the old man in gray clothes tells the truth about the trust relationship between him and himself, it will inevitably involve Silver Sand, which is also the secret of the old man in gray clothes' cultivation.
Regardless of the relationship between the old man in gray and the demon cultivator Black Devil Race? He didn't want others to know that he might have refined Undying Underworld Phoenix Essence Blood a long time ago.
And it was obtained from one's own clan, so it might be extremely pure Essence Blood!
Also regarding inheritance, Undying Underworld Phoenix Clan has been designing it for so long. How could he want outsiders to know the truth?
After the Nine-Headed Green Phoenix Clan knew about it, they would definitely take action to rob it. And if Black Devil Race knew that it might be ancient times, or even ancient pure bone marrow, his thoughts would not be so clean...
Therefore, after thinking about it, the old man in gray expressed it in another way and expressed the trust relationship with his own ethnic group. This is very reasonable.
But Ming Qi was startled at first when she heard the reason given by the old man in gray, which was that his elder had once rescued the supreme leader of her clan, Great Elder.
With the skill of the old man in gray, it is normal to say that he himself saved the life of Supreme Master Great Elder.
And it can also show that the relationship between them is deeper?
After he told his Majesty Great Elder about such a thing, in order to keep the inheritance secret, he would naturally agree to it. The old man in gray had no need to worry.
But why did the other party take such a big detour? But the old man in gray clothes just stated his request and had no intention of explaining it to Ming Qi, so Ming Qi couldn't continue to ask further questions.
But this still couldn't stop Ming Qi's curiosity. Soon she thought of a possibility, and felt that the old man in gray was so thoughtful that she would be unable to catch up no matter what.
Ming Qi thought that once Black Devil Race sent someone out next time, when he met with Taishang Great Elder, if he really asked about the old man in gray, Taishang Great Elder would not be able to know in advance what the other party was asking about?
Once the answer is different from that of the old man in gray, or if the answer is unclear, then how can the two of them be familiar with each other? Both of these results will have a major impact on the negotiations between the two parties!
And if Taishang Great Elder is only familiar with the elder of the old man in gray, then even if the two people have different opinions on some issues, the old man in gray can't explain some of the details between his elder and the other party.
In this way, the possible loopholes are completely solved, and even Li Yan did not expect the explanation given by Ming Qi.
He knew that all he had to do was ask for it, and the other party wouldn't ask for the reason. He didn't care what Ming Qi thought. Anyway, he wanted to protect the secret of the other party's inheritance.
After seeing Ming Qi nodding silently, Li Yan stopped talking and looked into the other person's eyes again.
