Lord of the Desert

Chapter 399 Vision
At this moment, a man in red came in to report that many carriages and horses had arrived outside the mansion and the entrance was blocked. He then announced the identity and name of the visitor.

The city defender Zheng Zhun and his daughter Zheng Fuqiu, the head of the Chi family and his son Chi Xinchi, as well as the Cui family, the Gao family, the head of the Uzumaki clan Ge and his disciples, etc.

After all, Jinhai City is too small and news spreads too quickly.

"That's not polite."

Hong Li was obviously displeased.

"Brother Fan just came back, exhausted, and they all rushed over at once. We should at least give the host some time."

"Maybe he's afraid that his second brother will come back in a hurry and leave in a hurry."

Hong Sheng advised.

"Coming at this time in a hurry makes the affection even deeper."

Now that the guest has come to your door, you cannot force him to go back.

Soon, a group of familiar faces came into the yard.

Hong Fan stood up to greet them and looked them over one by one.

Chi Xinchi didn't change much, except that he seemed a little reserved because his father was around.

Gao Junxia has rough skin and his whole body is thick.

Cui Yutang grew a beard and, I heard, he just had his first son. He traded his calmness for smoothness.

Zheng Fuqiu was wearing a green dress, with thick calluses on her fists and palms. When she looked at the visitor, there was still eagerness in her eyes...

At the same time, everyone looked back at Hong Fan.

After more than a year, he had grown an inch taller, his skin had become a little darker, and his features had become more handsome.

Beside him, a one-handed straight sword that had not been sheathed was casually placed, revealing the four-character inscription "Shenfeng Wusheng".

The servants quickly brought in many chairs, and after everyone sat down, the spacious main hall was already packed.

After a few pleasantries, Hong Fan gave a brief account of what had happened in Huaiyang State. Due to everyone's curiosity, he also described in detail the siege of Duanli, the assault on Yunlan, and the destruction of Fengjianke.

The scenes were so passionate, moving, and bizarre that everyone wished they could witness them in person.

"With this accumulation of insights, it will be just around the corner for the Second Young Master to be promoted to the Xiantian realm!"

Zheng Zhun complimented.

Then he saw Hong Fan had a strange look on his face, as if he couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, uncle, but this matter does not need to be done in a certain day."

The latter laughed.

"On June 22, I executed Feng Chengyi and broke through. Now I have reached the Xiantian realm."

With a loud bang, everyone in the room was shocked.

It was Hong Li who accidentally dropped the teacup and broke it.

"Good nephew, really?"

Hongwu stood up and asked.

Hong Fan did not answer. He raised his hand and shot out a flaming knife towards the outside of the hall. The knife roared for seven or eight feet before dissipating in the courtyard.

There is no doubt that this is the Flame Roar that can only be used after practicing the Flame Flow Skill to the innate level.

Since Hong Jian's death, this unique skill has been away from Jinhai for two years.

Hong Li stared straight at the fire knife, and when the flames faded away, he jumped up from his seat, forgetting his leg injury and his old age for a moment.

"Good, good! My Hong family has another innate talent!"

He said in a trembling voice, his eyes warm.

"Brother Fan, you are innate? Wouldn't your ranking on the list skyrocket?"

Hongfu, who was sitting in the corner, shouted loudly.

"You still have two months to go before you turn twenty. Your progress is not much behind Qu Luoyi and Yi She! In four years, won't it be..."

Just when everyone was excited, Hong Sheng was the first to notice the ignored half of the sentence.

"Second brother, you said you killed the King of Huaiyang?"

he asked cautiously.

The air became still.

"Yes, I killed him with my own hands."

Hong Fan replied without hesitation.

The whole yard was filled with the sound of a pin drop.

"Brother Duan and Feng Mubai died in front of the palace gate, but Feng Chengyi was still fleeing. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I rushed to Fengyun Peak and captured him, and burned him to death in the palace hall."

He spoke briefly, but everyone could hear the heroic spirit of life and death in it, and their breathing quickened at the mere thought of it.

But being heroic is one thing, and regicide is another.

The thrones of the three great princes were promised by the Xiao family. Even though people in the world supported the Three Counties Volunteer Army, they knew that they were rebelling.

"Brother Fan, does anyone else know that you are back?" Hongwu took a long breath and asked in a deep voice.

"You said Feng Mubai is dead, and the rebels took over Yunlan City. Is there anyone left in the Feng family?"

His expression was solemn, as if he had returned to the time when he had bandages around his waist to defend against the snake people.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry."

Hong Fan would never keep such an important matter in suspense.

"After we took down the city on June 22, Feng Manyun still led his men to resist stubbornly. I held out against them for several days, and then the four Martial Saints arrived together."

"After that, the matter was settled - the Feng family was dethroned, and the entire family moved to the northern border; the various righteous armies followed the will of heaven and were rewarded with merit."

Now everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere became cheerful.

"Since this is the decision of the four Martial Saints, there will be no reversals."

Cui Yutang said with a smile.

"After going through so much blood and rain this year, the Second Young Master finally returns home, so he has to stay a little longer."

Chi Xinchi, Gao Junxia and others nodded repeatedly.

"I'm afraid I can't."

Hong Fan said.

"I plan to stay for a few days and then go to Xijing."

"Why so urgent?"

Hong Li said in surprise.

"There are still many things to come."

Hong Fan replied.

"I also have the responsibility of managing the Martial Academy, and there are also some miscellaneous matters that must be dealt with."

He was referring to things like exchanging military merits for martial arts classics, planning to switch to other martial arts techniques, etc., but because all of this was based on a secret agreement with Xu Guinian, he couldn't say it directly.

"In addition, I have a few new ideas to discuss with the Equipment Manufacturing Supervisor. Once these are done, I will go to Shenjing and will not return to Liangzhou for a while."

"You're going to Shenjing?"

Hongwu couldn't help but frown.

Shenjing is different from Xijing. It is located in the heart of Kyushu and is more than 4,000 miles away from Jinhai City.

Now that Hong Fan has been promoted to the position of Xiantian, he thinks that if he can stay in Jinhai or Xijing for a longer time, it will greatly enhance the reputation of the clan.

"Guan Qimai found me in Yunlan City and asked me to serve as the Purple Ribbon World Rider."

Hong Fan explained.

"I agreed."

Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Second brother, were you talking about Guan Qimai, the Wheel of Life?"

Hong Sheng's voice was dazed.

Seeing Hong Fan nod, everyone in the hall was far more shocked than when they killed Feng Chengyi.

After all, the position of King of Huaiyang is just a position, and if one dies, someone else can take it. However, the head of the Martial Arts Academy is one of the most powerful entities in Dahua. Its leader not only has great power, but also ranks second on the Heavenly Ranking in terms of martial arts.

The dignified Martial Saint personally invited Hong Fan, which was an honor far beyond being on the list of geniuses!

"It should!"

Hongwu changed his tone almost immediately.

"Everyone in the world knows that the headmaster has his country in his heart. Since he has personally invited me, my nephew should serve the country!"

Others also felt a strong sense of unreality.

[After only a few years, Brother Fan has already met the Martial Saint. Doesn't that mean I have also reached the edge of the Martial Saint circle? ]

Hongfu couldn't help thinking.

Even though he had lost his childishness on the battlefield, he was now feeling ecstatic and his mouth was itching to talk. He just wanted to brag to everyone at the drinking table in the world about the fact that "my brother knew the Martial Saint".

Three years, from the 27th year of Zhenghe to the 30th year of Zhenghe.

Hong Fan was only twenty years old, but he had already entered the vision of the top management of Dahua.

Realizing this, Hong Sheng, Chi Xinchi, Gao Junxia, ​​Cui Yutang and other peers felt mixed emotions, while elders such as Zheng Zhun and Chi Zhuiyuan suddenly felt that Hong Fan's face looked a little unfamiliar, so much so that they felt a little pressured to look him in the eye.

PS: I wrote a little less this month.

On the one hand, I was conceiving the outline of the fourth volume, and on the other hand, I was doing psychological counseling and using CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to adjust my sleep.

The latter method is probably to forcibly lock the work and rest time, not allowing sleep at all during the day, and then gradually compress the sleep time to increase fatigue to offset sleeping pills, reduce dependence on drugs, and restore sleep ability.

In short, it's quite tiring.
