Monarch of Evernight: 148 Hostility

bsp;In Tingchao City, on top of the Holy Mountain, Luo Bingfeng stands alone by the window, looking out into the vast wilderness and down to the lights of the city.

The door opened behind him, and a maid walked in and said softly: "City Lord, this is the third time that the young lady has vomited blood. Look..."

Luo Bingfeng's hands trembled, but his voice was still calm and he said, "Don't disturb her."

The maid boldly said: "But, Miss, her face is frighteningly white."

"I said don't disturb her!" Luo Bingfeng's voice suddenly became louder.

The maid was startled and hurriedly said: "As ordered." Then she left.

Luo Bingfeng looked up at the sky, and all he could see was thick lead clouds, boundless. But he knew that beyond the sky, above the void, there were unspeakable and dangerous battles going on.

He tapped the window sill lightly, but the entire wall in front of him fell down with his hands. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't resist the surging power. A little overflow caused the stone wall to be damaged.

The cold wind howled through the hollow. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. The cup of tea placed on the table, which was still warm, quickly turned from warm to cold, and from cold to ice. There was only a soft click, and the tea cup was already covered with cracks.

Although the wind was cold, it was not as cold as Luo Bingfeng's heart.

The door opened again, this time it was knocked open. The maid rushed in in panic and said in a panic: "Sir, it's not good! The amulet you used to protect the young lady's life has been activated!"

"What?!" Luo Bingfeng finally turned pale, turned around, knocked away the maid, and disappeared.

The maid struggled to get up, her face was pale, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she had been hit hard. She endured the pain and chased Luo Bingfeng.

In the side room opposite the courtyard, the woman was half lying on the ground, her face was pale and breathless, and the scarlet blood stains on her clothes were shocking. The room was in a mess, as if it had been swept by fire. Most of the Force arrays on the floor had been destroyed, and the crystals were broken into pieces. Only a few crystals were still intact.

"Nannan, you! How could this happen?" Luo Bingfeng helped the woman up and saw that her chest and neck were scorched black, which were the traces left by the explosion of the amulet.

The woman smiled weakly, stretched out her hand to caress Luo Bingfeng's face, and said, "Isn't this normal?"

"You told me it was just a little difficult! But now even the talisman has been activated! Is this a little difficult?"

The woman coughed with difficulty, splattered some blood, and said: "I felt great hostility and wanted to find out more in detail, but I accidentally attracted its attention and was injured by the counterattack."

Luo Bingfeng frowned and said: "Now the strong men from the Eternal Night Empire are coming. There must be real strong men among them who I can't even defeat. Don't you know? What a nonsense!"

The woman shook her head and said: "I pay special attention to the strong men of Yong Ye and the empire, and have also encountered strong men who are proficient in the art of heaven. However, as long as they are not too close, they generally will not attack. Yong Ye The powerful Tianjishu and the Empire care more about each other. The huge hostility I just mentioned does not belong to Yong Ye nor the Empire."

Luo Bingfeng looked solemn and said: "How can you be sure?"

The woman sighed softly and said: "I can be sure, but I can't explain the reason. It can only be said to be a feeling. You know, the inferences from heaven are like this."

Luo Bingfeng nodded and said: "Okay, I will be careful. You should have a good rest first!"

He reached out to help, but the woman grabbed his clothes and said excitedly: "Bingfeng! That's Zhang Buzhou, he wants to kill you! Don't you still want to believe me?"

Luo Bingfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "For such a big thing, there must be evidence, right?"

The woman held on tighter, "Evidence? By the time you see the evidence, it's already too late. Bingfeng, come with me, and stop meddling in things here. If you stay on the Holy Mountain, you will die!" ”

Luo Bingfeng patted her gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's not easy to kill me on this holy mountain. Besides the one from the Blood Throne, who else can kill me? Even if he comes, You have to bring Broken Years with you."

"The Holy Mountain can suppress others, but it cannot suppress Zhang Buzhou. Don't forget, this was originally his dojo."

Luo Bingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "King Zhang and I are as close as brothers. He even saved my life in the early years. Why did he want to kill me? Even though there are many villains around the king now, I still believe that the king is not a fool. People.”

"He wants to kill you, and all he needs is one reason. There is no room for two kings in a neutral place!" the woman said firmly.

Luo Bingfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How easy is it to break through the Heavenly King? You see, Zhang Heavenly King has been in seclusion for so many years, and still has no clue. I also met you, and I vaguely saw a way. King Zhang will always be my eldest brother. Whoever becomes the King of Heaven first will be the same. Even if I take that step first, I will never have the slightest idea about his position. He is still my eldest brother and King Zhang. ."

Afterwards, his voice softened, he looked at the woman's face and said warmly: "You should understand that I am not interested in power, position or martial arts, I only want you."

"You think so, but Zhang Buzhou doesn't think so."

Luo Bingfeng said: "Brother knows what I am thinking. Let's not talk about this matter. There is no evidence. I don't believe that eldest brother will be harmful to me. If eldest brother entrusts the holy mountain to me, then I should take on the responsibility of guarding the land. . Huh, although the Yongye Empire is powerful, I, Luo Bingfeng, am afraid of it!”

The woman thought for a while, then sighed: "Okay, you will see the evidence soon."

Luo Bingfeng helped her up. After checking her, he saw that apart from weakness, there were no other fatal injuries, so he felt relieved. It's just that her vitality was severely damaged, and even if she wanted to recover, it wouldn't be a matter of time.

"Nannan, let me take you back to rest. Leave the rest to me, so you don't have to worry."

The woman nodded and said: "Bingfeng, there are many powerful people coming from the Yongye Empire this time. Even if there is help from the Holy Mountain, you must be careful."

Luo Bingfeng laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry! I, Luo Bingfeng, have been through many life and death difficulties, and this little thing in front of me can't trouble me. What's more, with you by my side, they want to set foot on the Holy Mountain , you have to step over my body! Huh, whether it’s Yongye or the empire, as long as the person in charge is not stupid, they should know that if they want to kill me, Luo Bingfeng, they have to pay a multiple price. It depends on whether they can afford it. ”

After saying that, Luo Bingfeng suddenly turned his head and said to a maid in the corner: "What I just said, please tell your master exactly what I said."

The maid's face suddenly turned pale and she said in panic: "Lord City Lord, I don't understand what you mean."

Luo Bingfeng sneered, "I don't care whether your master is Yong Ye or the Empire, just take my words and you can save your life. I don't want to hear your explanation now. If you don't go, then commit suicide."

The maid trembled all over, suddenly saluted Luo Bingfeng, turned around and flew away.

Luo Bingfeng summoned another maid and said, "Let everyone disperse. We need to be quiet during this last period."

"Yes, City Lord."

Luo Bingfeng supported the woman and returned to the bedroom. When he came out again, the courtyard was completely silent and there was no sound anymore.

He looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Brother, will you betray me?"

No one has answered this question.

The rain is coming.

There was a chill in Tingchao City, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire city. Pedestrians were in a hurry and cars were also in a hurry. Even if they are acquaintances and friends, when they pass each other, they just nod and say hello, and then go their separate ways without any intention of staying.

From the generals and rich men to the common people, almost every household is packing up and tidying up their belongings. On both sides of the street, people can be seen reinforcing their houses.

Large-scale fleet mobilization cannot be hidden from those who are interested, not to mention the general purge of Guanlan City. Song Zining had no intention of hiding anything, and began to gather his troops almost openly, aiming directly at Tingchao City.

The military buildup has not yet been completed, but the scale has already shocked all parties. Most of the tens of thousands of troops on the ground are mercenaries from neutral lands. That's all. What's really terrifying is the imperial fleet assembled in Nan Qingcheng. Most of the warships inside have taken off their camouflage and exposed their fangs. No matter how good the camouflage is, it will affect the maneuverability and combat effectiveness of the battleship. Since he couldn't hide it, Song Zining simply took off all disguises in order to maximize his combat power.

This fleet already has more than ten large and small warships, all of which are cutting-edge warships from the empire. Their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary warships, let alone those second-hand warships in neutral places. This fleet has reached the standard of a squadron in terms of size, and is only one battleship-level flagship away from being able to independently conquer all directions.

With so many strong men coming to the empire, who knew there wasn’t a single battleship hidden? If you say no, then no one believes it. Otherwise, how can you explain the failure of Lin Jiaer's fleet?

Based on the combat power on paper alone, the empire's fleet is enough to sweep across the entire neutral land. This is also Song Zining's biggest reliance. If Luo Bingfeng cannot single-handedly defeat many powerful men in the empire and forcibly reverse the situation of the war, then with this fleet alone, the empire will be in an invincible position.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Luo Bingfeng holds the sky with one hand and repels all the powerful men in the empire, the battle in the city will still be tragic.

In the past, when wars broke out all over the East China Sea, people could go to Tingchao City to avoid disasters. This was a pure land amid the war. In the past, neither the Spider Emperor nor the Wolf King dared to ask Chao Cheng's thoughts. However, today, Song Zining's army was pointing directly at Tingchao City. Where could the people in the city go to avoid it?

There is no escape but a fight.

In a neutral place, everyone is tough. Even though war is coming, people are not afraid, but every household begins to prepare for war.

The people at the bottom have no choice. All they can do is strengthen their homes and fight to the death when necessary. But the people at the top saw a lot of changes, and they all ran for it, trying to avoid the war.

In a chaotic situation, the movements of the top players are naturally crucial. Among them, the Wolf King naturally attracted much attention because his battle fort was close to Tingchao City and he was one of the few strong men in the entire East China Sea.

For several days, there has been an endless stream of visitors to the battle fort.
