Broken Night

Chapter 544 - Hong Xiao

The man's face was indifferent, but Xu Yan and Jin Qianji vaguely felt that this man's face was a little familiar.

I saw him kneeling on the futon, but his short hair was neatly combed back, looking very neat. Even though his face is ordinary, the ripples in his body, like a mountain, make him look like a god.

Neither Xu Yan nor Jin Qianji thought about the existence of tattooists in the Five Palaces in Huihong City. As if seeing through the thoughts of Xu Yan and Jin Qianji, the man said, "The world is so big that a crouching tiger hides a dragon. And there are more than those seven people?"

Xu Yan and Jin Qianji were silent.

What the man said was not the seven disciples of Yunfu, but the seven well-known powerhouses who stood at the top of the world.

In the south, there are Long Huaiyue from the Jagged War Gate, Chen Songqing from Qunxing Academy, Wanshu Daoist from Wanshu Academy, and a dangerous old man who has been hiding in the sky for many years in the Qing Palace.

In the north are Yan Rong of Burning Heaven Mountain, Yang Xia of Four Seasons, and Thousands of Reds of Chaoxia Palace.

These are the seven powerhouses in the world.

It's just that although Yunfu has never publicly stated anything, many people think that Yunfu must have masters of the same level, and even the Yunfu Palace Master who has never appeared before, more people think that he is already beyond the current level— He is the only person in the world with a powerhouse of the Six Palaces.

But for mortals, the ones who are more interested in talking about are those seven.

The level of the Yunfu Palace Master is too high, and it is not a level that ordinary people can know.

But now, this seemingly unremarkable, but bottomless man has proved that there are not only those seven in the world.

…………

"My name is Hong Xiao, and I am the contemporary head of the Hong family." The man's low voice sounded, and his voice sounded like the echo of boulders pouring into a bottomless ancient well.

"Welcome to Huihong City, two walkers from Yunfu."

Xu Yan and Jin Qianji remained silent, just nodded their thanks. Hong Xiao's wave of strength in front of him was too terrifying. Although it didn't target them, the aura hidden in the wind, like the eve of a storm, made people feel extremely depressed.

Jin Qianji bowed slightly: "I have seen the Hong family head, and I will ask the Hong family head to take care of him for a while."

Hong Xiao's appearance is not too special.

Not handsome, nor domineering.

His growth process is not very thrilling, and there is no legend left behind.

Even he never left Huihong City.

At first glance, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

He just practiced, practiced, and practiced again.

When more than 100 midsummers passed, Hong Xiao had become the five palaces.

There is no experience and perception between life and death, so step by step, he has become the realm of the five palaces. Some were dismissive and thought he was just lucky. But which one of them can become the Five Palace Realm just by luck?

Then Hong Xiao became the new head of the Hong family because he had beaten the entire Huihong invincible hand.

So compared to the other seven, his reputation is even less obvious. It's just that Xu Yan and Jin Qianji thought it was unreasonable. Huihong, a place without city walls and no pattern protection, stands in the west of the south and has never been breached for a hundred years.

If there is no certainty, how can it be done?

It's just that they didn't think that this so-called certainty would turn out to be a tattoo artist from the Fifth Palace.

Unless the three from the north take action, who can defeat Huihong?

…………

Hong Xiaomu was expressionless and looked at the two young people below.

He has never dealt with people from Yunfu. In the past, not every traveler from Yunfu would come to Huihong as a guest like Xu Yan and the others. Now seeing that the two are neither arrogant nor humble, even after seeing him, his face is still as calm as ever, and he can't help but look at both of them.

"Huihong holds the [Silver Spring Festival] every year."

Hong Xiao suddenly said: "Separate the level of the festival, the first palace and the second palace are on the first level. The winner of each level can go to the forbidden place of my Hong family [Nine Heavens Silver Spring] to soak in the body. Even if the two of you are from Yun Mansion, this [Nine Heavens Silver Spring] should be good for both of you."

"The two came here specially, so I gave them two qualifications to participate in the competition, which can be regarded as an exchange with my young genius, Huihong."

Jin Qianji smiled slightly: "Thanks to the Hong family head."

Hong Xiao nodded slightly: "Take advantage of the opportunity."

…………

The three of the Yun Mansion declined the invitation to live in the Hong Mansion, and returned to the small courtyard again.

"I didn't expect that Palace Master to be so friendly." Lan Mingxin blinked, she had seen many strong people, and even had a good relationship with Wei Lao. I just didn't expect that in Huihong City, which is full of malice and martial arts, the man who holds the most power in the entire city would treat them so gently.

Xu Yan turned his eyes back and said, "Don't be too naive, the Yinquan Festival must be a feast. In such a feast, to defeat us in front of everyone's eyes, that's what they meant."

Jin Qianji laughed: "Don't say that your heart is pure, you are the one who always thinks people bad. Hmm... Although what you said makes sense, no matter what, [Jiutian Yinquan] is for us now. Still pretty effective."

[Nine Heavens Silver Spring] is also recorded in Shanhaijing.

Because it was transformed from the flesh and blood of ancient beasts, the pure power within it is of great help to the body. It was not until after reaching the Fourth Palace Realm that the fleshly body had broken the [boundary] and lost its help.

This kind of treasure land has long been divided by major forces and aristocratic families in the south. Even the Lan family, like the royal family, has the unique "Huangyou Lake" in the world, which is used to awaken the wonders of heaven and earth.

And this kind of treasure land is not like [Red Cliff] that can be entered at will, most of them have to pay certain conditions, or achieve a certain goal to obtain the permission of the owner of the land. In Huihong, the permission obtained is the approval of the Hong family.

Because the Hong family is the family that Huihongli is responsible for guarding the [Nine Heavens Silver Spring].

And the [Silver Spring Festival] is Huihong's annual rule.

Only the best can enter the [Nine Heavens Silver Spring] and accept the baptism of the silver spring.

Strictly speaking, this silver spring is not a spring in the general definition, but the essence of the blood and flesh of that terrifying beast. This power is rootless water, and one day it will dissipate.

Huihong's people will not let him spend it arbitrarily, and let people go in and consume the power left over from ancient times.

Is it the Silver Spring Festival?

Sitting under the moonlight, the two of them were lying on two bamboo chairs, shaking slightly.

Jin Qianji and Xu Yan looked at each other, and both saw the fighting intent in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Lan Mingxin's voice came: "Let's eat!"

"right away!"

…………

The night sky in the distance is clear and sunny, and the starry sky can be seen when looking up.

The cool autumn sky with such a night sky is really refreshing.

A black-haired young man raised his head and looked at the starry sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Behind him, a middle-aged man stood respectfully behind him, but his face was full of the expression he was trying to say.

The black-haired young man seemed to have only the cultivation of the Second Palace, but the man behind him was unfathomable, and his veins fluctuated like a mountain. What's even weirder is that he looked at the black-haired youth with the respect that found his heart.

"Think what you want to say." The black-haired young man turned around, and a touch of moonlight in those black eyes was fleeting, returning to normal.

This young man is Xiao Hu.
