Chapter 416: Closing the net!

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong looked lovingly at Fenghuang, who was busy trimming his cigar in front of him, and said with a hint of blame: "You just came back, why did you invite them to your home again? You should have a good rest now. Socializing is the most tiring thing."

Fenghuang lit up the cut cigar and handed it to Zhong Daolong. She said in an elegant and gentle voice, "They also have good intentions. It is not appropriate to keep them at a distance."

There was another reason that Fenghuang didn't say. The royal family was trying to hide the truth about her being kidnapped. If she rejected everyone, wouldn't that confirm their suspicions?
Inviting people in openly and honestly can actually minimize the impact of this incident on the royal family's reputation.

After all, the kidnapping of the imperial princess is not something to be proud of.

"Yeah." Zhong Daolong nodded and said with great relief: "You have always been a worry-free child. It is my father's fault that you encountered such a thing."

"Dad promises you that from now on, something like this will never happen again."

"Whoever dares to harm my daughter, Zhong Daolong, I will definitely skin him alive and kill his entire family."

"Dad, it's okay, it's all over." Fenghuang was very moved and comforted him softly.

Invited by her father late at night, Fenghuang was only wearing a simple and clean white casual outfit and a pair of white canvas shoes.

But, that fresh and beautiful breath hits me in the face.

This is the taste of youth.

"Yes, it's all in the past. Don't take it to heart. Just live your life as you want in the future." Zhong Daolong said with a smile, "Leave the rest to Dad."

"Other things?" Phoenix asked doubtfully.

Zhong Daolong exhaled a puff of cigar smoke, and his eyes became deep and profound: "How can you pretend that nothing happened after you hurt my precious daughter?"

"Dad, I'm really fine"

Phoenix's heart suddenly tightened.

"Alright, alright." Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said with a smile, "We adults should handle adult matters. You are still a child in your father's eyes. Study hard and enjoy life."

"Haven't you always wanted to be a general? After you graduate next year, Dad will let you go to the Fengwu Army for training. It's not a good idea to assign you a general right away. It's easy to be gossiped about. How about starting as a captain first?"

"Dad, there's no need to make such a deliberate arrangement. Even if you join the army for training, you have to start as a soldier. How can you become a captain all of a sudden? It's still easy for people to gossip about you."

"No, that won't work. How can my daughter start as a soldier? It's tiring and dangerous."

"I want to assign you a colonel position, or at least a captain."

"Dad, listen to me on this matter. Just let me decide for myself." Phoenix begged.

Zhong Daolong hesitated for a moment, and seeing Fenghuang's firm attitude, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Who made me have such a precious daughter?"

"Thank you dad."

"Yeah." Zhong Daolong looked at Fenghuang, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, the people below reported that Bai Wuxin single-handedly killed his way to Jiuchongzi, and there was a car waiting outside to pick him up."

"This is a premeditated kidnapping, which means they know your whereabouts very well. You haven't told anyone else. Are you going to Jiuchongzi to buy clothes?"

"No." Phoenix shook his head and said, "Could it be that they have been following me and discovered my itinerary?"

"That's a possibility." Zhong Daolong picked up the whiskey glass in front of him and said, "You should be more careful in the future. You have a special identity, and many people want to use this identity to do things that violate morality and law."

"Yes." Phoenix nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

"Okay, go back and have a rest." Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have been busy all day today. I thought I didn't have time to talk to you, so I called you over. Now that I see that you are okay, Dad is relieved."

Phoenix stood up and said, "I'm going back now. Dad should go to bed early."

"I'm going to sleep too." Zhong Daolong raised the cigar in his hand and said, "I'll go to sleep after I finish smoking this cigar."

"This is the last one. Don't smoke anymore."

"I promise."

After Fenghuang left, Chen Fenglei walked over from the side room.

"The king."

“Have you started closing the net?”

"Yes." Chen Fenglei replied respectfully: "Catch the turtle in the jar, everything is under control."

“Then all the efforts are worth it.”

"Yes." Chen Fenglei replied with his head down, not daring to meet Zhong Daolong's eyes.
-
Bailong Wharf.

Lu Yu's mood is even gloomier than his name.

Ye Shenyi said that he didn't know that the person he was looking for was him. This sentence revealed two fatal information:

First, the royal family has always known about the existence of this group of people.

How much do they know?

Besides the Sunshine Welfare Home line, what about the others?

Second, this was a plan they had set up in advance.

Since when?
Was the encirclement and suppression of the Lu family also part of their plan?

Or did it start even earlier?

The old man looked at Ye Shenyi who was standing on the side of the boat and asked, "So you have been following this line for a long time?"

Ye Shenyi laughed loudly and said, "Why? Are you trying to trick me?"

"At this point, what's the point of knowing all this?"

"That's true." Ye Shenyi said bluntly: "This is Nova, it's the Phoenix Empire. There's no point in resisting." "If I were you, I wouldn't come back. No matter how bad the old land is, at least I can save my life."

"Once I got here, I'm afraid I can neither live nor die."

"This tone..." The old man sneered and mocked: "You are so proud of being a dog."

"Dog? All under heaven belongs to the king. We are dogs, what about you? What about your Lu family?"

"Lu Yu, you were once a great genius, but unfortunately, you took the wrong path. If that's the case, just accept your fate."

"I, Lu Yu, never accept my fate." The old man straightened his back and said loudly, "If you are willing to compromise, how can you have the qualifications to shout in front of me?"

“You are such a stubborn person.” Ye Shenyi swooped down and slapped the old man on the head: “I just like to force people to do things against their will.”

A palm strike was like thunder and lightning.

A powerful ochre-colored energy rushed towards him, and a terrifying power descended upon the old man. An aura of fear and awe filled the air.

A sense of danger from which there was no escape hung over the old man's head, depressing him to the point of having difficulty breathing, and his body was restrained by the strong air pressure.

It's like a small boat in the vast ocean, in danger of being overturned and crushed by the waves at any time.

"Is this the Grandmaster realm?"

The old man thought to himself.

The old man stood there without moving, not even making any dodging movement.

His eyes were as dazzling as the bright moon, and he looked up at Ye Shenyi who was approaching from the sky.

Punch out.

Rumble.
"Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons"!
Four dragons and four elephants rushed out and rushed towards the Night God with devastating force.

Keep moving forward courageously and never give up in battle.

The "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Skill" was originally known for its toughness and power, and was well-known throughout the world.

Since Ye Shenyi wanted to attack head-on, there was no reason for the old man to escape.

boom!
The four dragons and four elephants crashed into the ochre-colored gas wall in the sky, and the leading dragon and elephant were destroyed on the spot.

Then came the second dragon and the second elephant
boom!
The ochre-colored air wall finally couldn't bear the heavy pressure and collapsed.

Powerful airflows spread everywhere, and a large amount of yin and yang energy attacked Ye Shenyi's body.

The air flow is like an arrow.

Ye Shenyi's body stopped in mid-air, unable to dodge the attack. He waved his sleeves, and the air arrows disappeared like the wind.

"Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons." Ye Shenyi looked at the old man and said in a deep voice: "This technique looks familiar."

The old man's eyes were slightly stern.

He knew that Ye Shenyi thought of Tang Fei through the "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Technique".

Because Tang Fei had also used this technique to fight others.

This person cannot stay.

Otherwise, the Tang bandits would be in danger of being exposed.

"If others can repair it, I can repair it too." The old man said in a deep voice.

"I just didn't expect that there are people who would actually practice this kind of technique." Ye Shenyi said with a smile: "It's easy to learn but difficult to master. To be able to break through the fourth level is already considered a natural talent."

After a pause, he continued, "The Grandmaster's disciple, Tang Fei, who is known as a martial arts genius of the younger generation, has only cultivated to the third level."

"Oh, by the way, his last name is also Tang. Are you familiar with him?"

"You are worthy of the surname Tang when you are wearing that black dog-skin uniform?" the old man cursed sharply.

"Hahaha, don't underestimate this black dog skin. Your Lu family has been forced to this point, and that kid has contributed a lot."

"Sooner or later he'll have his head taken off."

"Unfortunately, you don't have a chance." Ye Shenyi shook his head and said, "I will take you down tonight."

After saying that, Ye Shenyi turned his palm into a knife and rushed towards the old man again.

The old man leaped up into the air and started fighting with Ye Shenyi.

Like thunder between mountains and seas, like the dimness of the sun, moon and stars.

It was so huge and ferocious that it shocked the entire Bailong Wharf.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

The loser dies.
-
Broken Star Beach.

Bai Wuxin was as light as a swallow and quickly rushed towards Bailong Wharf.

Suddenly, an extremely domineering sword energy descended from the sky.

Bai Wuxin didn't think twice and quickly retreated.

Click!
A huge hole was cut where he was about to land.

A tall and mighty figure descended from the sky, holding a thick and heavy sword in his hand.

"Boy, I heard you are good at swordsmanship." Zhao Wuji looked at Bai Wuxin with a smile, and said in a deep and clear voice: "Let's see, is your sword sharper, or is my knife faster."
