Outskirts of the capital.

It was dark and windy.

The thick clouds obscured the stars and the moon, making the night so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Ordinary people would not dare to walk on such a night road.

But on the official road outside the capital, there was a team of people riding fast horses, hurrying along.

"Old Huo, please stay!"

A shout suddenly came from the team accompanied only by the sound of horse hooves.

The Western Region Fire Demon reined in his horse and looked back at the secret guards in a daze.

If it were someone else, he might still be nervous about such sudden words, but for the Western Region Fire Demon, the mere secret guards were not enough to make him alert.

The Western Region Fire Demon did not speak, his body was wrapped in a wide cloak, like a huge shadow.

He was silent, and his back on the horse could even make the secret guards feel cold in their hearts.

The secret guard who called Old Huo could no longer bear such great pressure and wanted to finish the matter quickly.

"Old Huo, the prince has a secret order. Please help us conduct an investigation."

As the dark guard spoke, he had already jumped off his horse and respectfully walked to the side of the Western Region Fire Demon to ask.

"Secret order?"

The voice of the Western Region Fire Demon was as harsh as nails scraping across a blackboard.

"Yes, Old Huo."

"This is the letter the prince left for you."

The dark guard said, handing over a handwritten letter from King Zheng.

The Western Region Fire Demon took the letter, and a small flame lit up above his head, illuminating the front of him.

With the help of the firelight, the Western Region Fire Demon finished reading the letter and actually laughed a lot.

"Hehehe, how dare old Zhu betray us?"

There was no anger in the tone of the Western Region Fire Demon, only teasing.

"Old Huo, this matter has yet to be verified, and it is related to the reputation of the royal palace, which is indeed a bit sensitive, so the prince can only send you this order."

The dark guard hurriedly explained.

"Hehehe, I know."

"Take me to see the so-called evidence."

The Western Fire Demon was obviously interested and urged the secret guard to take him to investigate quickly.

The secret guards knew the character of the Western Fire Demon. Although he was not the most suitable person to investigate this matter, they were busy now and they all happened to meet each other, so they didn't care about these things.

Zheng Wang also wanted to solve his doubts as soon as possible to see if Zhu Wufeng really betrayed Zheng Wangfu.

"Old Huo, please follow me."

The secret guard immediately took the Western Fire Demon to the first place where traces were left.

As a result, the Western Fire Demon was still several steps away, and he actually waved his hand and said:

"Don't look, it's Old Zhu, this bamboo attribute Qi is only used to this extent in the world."

"Hehehe, Zhu Wufeng dared to betray the prince, he really deserves to die, damn it!"

After the Western Fire Demon made such an assertion, he actually laughed, and even laughed a little gloating.

If someone else had such an attitude, the secret guards would report it and he would not be able to stay in Prince Zheng's mansion in the future.

But the Western Fire Demon had a strange temperament, and other people were not surprised. Even if his behavior was a little disrespectful to Prince Zheng, the secret guards would not bother to report him.

After all, no one wanted to provoke such a person.

"Old Fire, this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty, please be careful to verify it. Moreover, it is not necessarily that Old Zhu is the only one in the world who can display bamboo-attributed true qi."

"These are the original words of your Majesty."

The Western Fire Demon laughed strangely and said sarcastically: "Humph, you still don't believe me when I ask you to check."

"Bamboo-attributed true qi may not only exist in Zhu Wufeng, but I can conclude that he is the only one in the world who can display it to such an extent!"

"But since it is your Majesty's words, I will naturally verify it carefully."

After saying this, the Western Fire Demon walked under the tree and pretended to look at it.

Although the traces have been there for a few days, they are still as clear as if seen with one's own eyes for a second-grade warrior.

The traces of the remaining true qi are even more conclusive, and can be said to be ironclad evidence.

The appearance may be able to be changed, but the true qi cannot be imitated to such an extent.

The Western Region Fire Demon looked at the traces under the tree and couldn't help grinning again, but this time he didn't laugh out loud.

He laughed not because he felt how funny the matter was, but because he felt it was absurd and laughed unconsciously.

In the eyes of the Western Region Fire Demon, Zhu Wufeng really had no reason to betray King Zheng.

This made him curious about why Zhu Wufeng did this?

"If there is a chance, I really have to ask him in person."

The Western Region Fire Demon was amazed and couldn't imagine the reason behind this.

Zhu Wufeng had followed King Zheng for longer than him.

When he fled the Western Region and went into exile, he met King Zheng in Daxing, and then he had a place to practice in peace, and he became the Western Region Fire Demon with the second-grade cultivation today.

And Zhu Wufeng's loyalty to King Zheng will only be more firm than that of the Western Region Fire Demon.

In the following time, the Western Region Fire Demon followed the secret guard obediently to investigate one place after another where the true energy remained.

But without exception, the Western Region Fire Demon's answer was the same.

"It is Zhu Wufeng without a doubt."

The Western Region Fire Demon had already recognized the place at this time. He turned his head and stared at the secret guard and asked: "This is the trace of that night, right?"

"I failed because of Zhu Wufeng's betrayal!"

The secret guard looked at the two balls of fire in the cloak and took two steps back in fear, not daring to look at him at all.

"Speak!"

The Western Region Fire Demon shouted like a ghost, and the secret guard's legs immediately became weak and fell to the ground.

"Old Huo, please calm down."

"We can only confirm that the secret guards lost that day were related to these traces."

"The secret guards have undergone special training. When they are defeated, they will commit suicide immediately to prevent their own information from falling into the hands of the enemy."

"But since Zhu Lao disappeared, the secret guards have disappeared in action one after another. Judging from the signs at the scene, there is a high probability that they were captured alive."

"To do this, you must be very familiar with us."

The secret guard was frightened and uttered a series of words. After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong.

These are the progress of their internal investigation by the secret guards. It is not a wise move to reveal them to the Western Region Fire Demon.

With the temper of this Western Region Fire Demon, there is nothing he can't do.

He was already very upset because of the failure of the previous action. If he found someone to blame, wouldn't he go back to seek revenge now?

The secret guard figured this out and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Old Huo, the investigation is over, let's continue on our way."

"When we get to Jiangnan Road, there are still things that the prince has ordered us to do."

The Western Region Fire Demon did not answer, but stood there in silence, with only two flames burning in his eye sockets.

"Where is Zhu Wufeng?"

After a moment of silence, the Western Region Fire Demon asked coldly.

"Old Huo, if we knew the whereabouts of Zhu Wufeng, would we still need to study these traces?"

"Old Huo may not know how many of our secret guards have lost recently?"

"This is all thanks to certain people!"

"If Old Huo has this idea, we can inform you when we have clues in the future."

"But now please follow the prince's orders and don't delay the prince's important matters."

After the secret guards knew that they had said something wrong, they tried their best to make amends.

If the Western Region Fire Demon lost his mind and went around the world looking for Zhu Wufeng's traces, it would be troublesome.

For this reason, the secret guards did not hesitate to make big promises, trying to make the Western Fire Demon understand that they were a front and were willing to secretly deal with Zhu Wufeng together, just to make the Western Fire Demon go to Jiangnan Road obediently according to the plan.

In the gloomy night, two balls of fire flickered.

Even the red flames could still make the secret guards feel cold.

"Tsk, let Zhu Wufeng live a few more days."

"But it's agreed that when you report to the prince, you must also send me a message."

"Otherwise..."

The Western Fire Demon looked at the secret guards and laughed strangely, but he didn't need to continue.

The secret guards were also relieved. Although being targeted by the Western Fire Demon was really unlucky, they would talk about the future later, at least they were fooled for now.

Otherwise, who could stop the Western Fire Demon from going crazy?

"Old Huo, let's go on the road."

"It's already delayed a lot of time."

Since the Western Fire Demon has made a judgment, there is no need for them to stay here any longer.

The dark guard now only wanted to take the Western Fire Demon on the road immediately, go to Jiangnan Road, and complete his mission.

The horse was led to the Western Fire Demon, but he did not get on the horse immediately, but suddenly looked up at the sky.

The dark guard didn't know what was wrong with him again, and couldn't help urging him:

"Old Fire..."

Before the dark guard finished speaking, he heard a creepy call in his ear.

The call became clearer and clearer, and he could gradually hear what was being called.

"Si... Nis... Yi... Nis..."

"What sound?"

The dark guards immediately drew their swords and took precautions, forming a formation and observing the surroundings.

The Western Fire Demon stood among them, looking up at the sky, and the fire in his eyes gradually extinguished.

The dark guard and the Western Fire Demon both looked like they had seen a ghost.

In such a desolate place, hearing such a strange movement, it is really hard not to think of the classic plot of a female ghost asking for life.

Even warriors are still afraid of unknown things. This is human nature.

"Ignis——"

The dark guards listened to this strange name, not knowing who the voice was calling.

They were alert all around, but did not notice that the Western Fire Demon surrounded by them was actually trembling slightly.

"Ignis!"

The voice became clearer and more shrill.

The dark guards realized that the voice came from the distant sky.

In the dark night sky, a blue meteor streaked across, getting closer and closer to them.

Seeing this scene, the dark guards were relieved.

"As long as it's not a real female ghost."

They also had the Western Fire Demon, a second-grade master, behind them. As long as it was not a threat beyond cognition, it would be no problem.

But just when the dark guards relaxed their guard, the blue flames rushed up from their feet and engulfed their whole body in an instant.

The dark guards stared at the burning body in a daze, without feeling any pain, only the consciousness was slowly peeling away.

The secret guards stood there, unable to move. The next moment, their intact bodies suddenly turned into ashes and fell to the ground helplessly.

On the ground, only the lonely figure of the Western Fire Demon was left, still trembling.

The cloak on the Western Fire Demon also burned, but it was just a red flame.

The cloak turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind, revealing the face of the Western Fire Demon.

The Western Fire Demon trembled, staring at the meteor that was approaching rapidly in the sky, and said in a hoarse voice firmly:

"I am no longer your Ignis."

"That weak Ignis was reborn in the flames!"

The Western Fire Demon shouted loudly to the sky, and his body, which was still trembling, gradually calmed down.

The next moment, he soared into the sky and headed towards the blue shooting star.

"well--"

Li Xuan put a paw on his chin and sighed.

Ye Lao also felt a little helpless when he saw him lying unceremoniously on his desk.

"Axuan, why are you sighing so much today?"

"But what's there to worry about?"

Li Xuan immediately sent a message: "It's not the fire demon from the Western Region who is causing trouble."

"Haven't everyone been beaten back?" Mr. Ye flipped through a book and said casually.

"But the matter is not over yet." Li Xuan sighed again and continued: "I thought that while Monk Chengche was still here, I might be able to find an opportunity to kill this person and cut off King Zheng's arm. How could I have thought that this Buddhist So unreliable.”

"Master Shanleo said that he wanted to find some wandering monk from Fuyun Temple. Is this person so powerful that he can take care of the affairs of Fuhu Temple?"

Mr. Ye also knew that Li Xuan was just having trouble, so he came to him to complain a few words to relieve his depression, and immediately explained to him:

"The wandering monks of Fuyun Temple are naturally very powerful. They are the leaders of the younger generation in Fuyun Temple. They are generally fourth-level practitioners. A few outstanding ones are even masters of the third level at a young age."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Then you can't even control the fire demon of the Western Region."

Mr. Ye smiled slightly: "Buddhists not only respect the wandering monks, but also the Fuyun Temple."

"When Fuyun Temple comes down the mountain, King Zheng will have to admit defeat."

When Li Xuan heard this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "In the Eight Great Martial Arts Holy Lands, can't a random Prince Zheng stop him?"

You know, he is getting along with the Holy Fire Cult now, and at least Ayimu's lineage recognizes his identity as a holy beast.

If the Holy Fire Cult can be recruited to help in the future, will King Zheng be dumbfounded?

Ye Lao shook his head, making Li Xuan feel disappointed.

"Fuyun Temple has always maintained the top level among the eight holy places of martial arts."

"Secondly, the Eight Great Martial Arts Holy Lands must not interfere with the change of dynasties."

"Unless it is removed, it will continue as a dynasty royal family."

"Otherwise, several other sects will be happy to share the food with the unruly sects."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but shudder.

It seems that the eight major martial arts holy places also maintain a delicate balance with each other, but secretly they all covet each other's wealth and martial arts.

That's right, Li Xuandu is thinking about how to master the exercises of these eight schools every day. These sects, which have been passed down for an unknown period of time, are afraid that they will be jealous of other schools' Yin and Yang skills.

Li Xuan shook his head, no longer thinking about these tempting yin and yang skills, and asked instead:

"Mr. Ye, you said last time that second-grade warriors are difficult to kill. How difficult are they to kill?"

"How much power do you think we have to use to get rid of the fire demon in the Western Region?"

Li Xuan was so obsessed with the Fire Demon of the Western Regions. Although he also wanted to weaken King Zheng, there was another idea that occupied a considerable part of his mind.

The last time Zhu Wufeng fell, Li Xuan experienced great benefits.

The vision of the reincarnation of the Five Elements is still unforgettable to him.

If this was a second-grade martial artist who died, he might just be able to break through by practicing some wool skills.

"It depends on the situation. Generally, if there are not three or five masters of the same level surrounding you, there will be no one left at all."

"The Tao realm affects the surrounding world. With this power, you can evacuate at any time even if you are not defeated."

"Unless it's an all-round siege using other people's realms, there's no chance."

Mr. Ye also knew that Li Xuan was just asking casually, so he answered casually.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan got up from lazily lying on the table and stared blankly out of the window, staring at the distant dark night sky.

"Axuan, what's wrong?"

Mr. Ye put down the book in his hand and asked with concern.

He knew that Li Xuan was not a purring cat.

"I feel it..."

"That's the realm of the Fire Demon of the Western Region!"
