Fox Demon Crossing

The abilities possessed by Green Gourd focus on space.

There is a small world inside it, and it can hide in the void. In critical moments, it can even serve as an escape spacecraft and achieve long-distance space transfer. It is truly a mobile fortress.

At present, the Green Gourd Mountain has been hidden in the so-called space gap in the void. People outside can neither see nor touch it, but it is indeed staying there quietly without moving at all.

After completing all these arrangements, Jin Renfeng also walked out.

As the owner of the green gourd, he did not need the guidance of the token, because the green token contained a trace of the green gourd's spiritual energy. With this trace of spiritual energy from the same origin, he could accurately find the location of the green gourd.

After returning to Shenhuoshan Villa, Jin Renfeng still served as the eldest brother of the villa.

Just a few new things to deal with.

He released information about the four sacred beasts in the Intelligence Building.

When it comes to choosing spiritual beasts to guard the villa, the first choice is undoubtedly the four sacred beasts - Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

As far as he knew, there were indeed four great mythical beasts in this world, although their forms might differ from what he knew.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jin Renfeng held the information sent by Lu Xiaoer in his hand, which recorded that half a year ago, a huge bird with flames all over its body seemed to appear in the sky above a village on the border of the Western Region.

This was the only information left after he sifted through it.

"The Western Region..."

Located in the west, this is a desert area with a dry climate and yellow sand all over the sky.

The fire spirit is strong here, so relatively speaking, the possibility of Suzaku appearing in this western region is indeed higher.

"Recently, Xiao Wancheng called on everyone to actively sign up to become the Black Jade Supervisor. I heard that the salary is generous."

He remembered another piece of news and couldn't help muttering, "This Xiao Wancheng is really a person who can't sit still."

Xiao Wancheng is Xiao Yan's second uncle and the owner of Xiaojiazhuang. He also serves as the Chief Inspector of the Black Jade Inspectorate. Privately, he continues to expand his power and prestige. During his rise to power, he has rectified many large and small sects for various reasons, thus earning the nickname "Mad Dog".

During Xiao Wancheng's rise to power, he framed Xiao Yan's father and sent people to hunt down Xiao Yan.

Now with Jin Renfeng's strength, it would be easy to get rid of Xiao Wancheng quietly, but this was not the result he and Xiao Yan expected.

Xiao Yan longs to seek justice for his father.

However, Xiao Wancheng was not a fool, but extremely cunning. How could he easily reveal his flaws? In addition, too much time had passed. Even if there were some clues left at that time, they might have been cleared up. It was almost impossible to redress Xiao Yan's father.

Although no action has been taken against Xiao Wancheng in recent years, this does not mean that Jin Renfeng is unprepared.

In fact, he had been secretly sending people to closely monitor the Xiao family's every move, and had collected a lot of intelligence over the years, but these alone were not enough to completely bring down Xiao Wancheng.

It seems that the only thing we can do is look for opportunities to take the initiative.

……

A few days later.

Western Regions, border area.

The scorching sun is burning the earth. At a glance, the boundless desert is accompanied by flying sand and dust, making the environment here extremely harsh.

As we enter the Western Region, the air becomes increasingly hot and dry.

Jin Renfeng looked at ease, with his hands behind his back, riding his flying sword through the air.

He had received accurate news that the Suzaku had reappeared, and this time it was still in the Western Region. According to the Suzaku's habits, the place where the Suzaku lived was likely located on a volcano.

Vermillion Bird is of the fire element and is born with the power to control fire, so it is normal for it to live on a volcano.

Jin Renfeng looked up and sighed, "Such a harsh environment is hard for humans to endure, not to mention how many monsters are willing to live here. No wonder the Taoist Alliance regards the Western Region as the weakest monster country among the four monster regions. This is indeed not without reason."

"Let's go to the Li family camp first. The Li family army has been guarding the border of the Western Region for generations. I believe they are very familiar with this area..."

Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng quickly changed direction and soon arrived at a place with green mountains and clear waters.

In a military camp, he revealed his identity and was immediately warmly received by General Li.

The old general in the lead exclaimed: "Mr. Jin really lives up to the title of the Eastern Alliance Leader's disciple, and his demeanor is extraordinary."

"That's right, that's right..."

Then a group of people echoed.

Jin Renfeng responded calmly: "Generals, I have already explained my purpose. Do you have any news about the firebird?"

"This one……"

"No rush, no need to rush..."

"Indeed, we do have some information about the Firebird, but..." The old general paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Jin, it's a rare visit. Please allow us to show our hospitality."

Jin Renfeng did not refuse.

As the sun set, a bonfire was burning in the military camp. The dinner was extremely sumptuous, and all the soldiers sat around in a circle. The atmosphere was extremely warm and enthusiastic.

After the toast, the old general saw that Jin Renfeng never mentioned the firebird, and finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Jin, Li has a favor to ask."

In an instant, the entire military camp fell silent.

"General, you are too kind. If I can do it, I will do my best to help you." Jin Renfeng seemed to be unconcerned and took a sip of wine calmly, as if everything was under his control.

Asking for favors is a common social tactic used by humans.

First try to make sure you have good food and drink, and then make a request when the time is right, in order to test people's hearts. Most people who care about their reputation will be embarrassed to refuse.

Obviously, the other party thought that he was young and energetic, had become famous at a young age, and given his special identity and background, he should agree readily at this time.

But they guessed wrong.

The old general said helplessly: "The thing is, a few hundred years ago, a general in my family was unfortunately captured by a powerful monster. We sent people many times to try to take back the relics of our ancestors, but the monster was too powerful. I beg Mr. Jin to help us take back the relics of our ancestors."

Jin Renfeng was slightly surprised after hearing this: "May I ask, old general, what is the name of your ancestor?"

The old general hesitated for a moment, then said, "My ancestor's name was Li Xueyang, nicknamed 'Ice General'..."

Jin Renfeng was silent for a moment.

Is the person mentioned Li Xueyang, the wife of the Western Region Demon King Fan Yunfei?

"You seem to be very persistent about this matter?"

The old general sighed and said frankly, "Sir, I dare not hide anything from you. My ancestor once married the king of the Sand Fox Clan and voluntarily withdrew from the Li Family Army. Logically, the Li Family Army should completely sever ties with this woman and no longer have any dealings with her."

"However, my ancestor had made great contributions to the Li Family Army. Our family's teachings clearly stipulate that we must find General Bing's body and bury it in the ancestral land of our Li Family Army."

"So that's what happened!"

Jin Renfeng pretended to understand and agreed, "Old General, please rest assured. I will send someone to lead the way to find the monster tomorrow. As for whether we can successfully bring back General Bing's body, I dare not guarantee it."

Hearing this, the old general's face was filled with joy, and he exclaimed: "It is indeed the demeanor of the Eastern Alliance Leader's disciple. Mr. Jin, you are truly a chivalrous man!"

"Thank you for the compliment, old general..."

After dinner, Jin Renfeng came to the tent they had arranged and sat cross-legged on the bed.

In fact, he had no interest in fighting for Li Xueyang's body. The reason he agreed to help was just to take this opportunity to meet the long-lost Sand Fox King.

Then his soul left his body and wandered around silently. Ordinary people cannot see the soul unless it appears on its own.

When Jin Renfeng's soul floated above the old general's head, he did not appear, so the people present did not notice his presence.

It didn't take long.

The old general asked the person next to him, "Has Mr. Jin rested yet?"

"General, he has gone to bed." someone answered.

Inside the tent, a young man asked, "Grandfather, why did you ask that man for help and tell him about General Bing? Aren't you afraid that he won't return the ancient weapon to us after getting it?"

It seems that something is indeed wrong... Jin Renfeng's soul was listening silently at the side.

The old general did not respond immediately, but walked out of the tent to check around, and after confirming that no one was watching, he returned to the tent and said, "What do you know? Fan Yunfei is the number one expert in the Western Region, and you have seen his strength. If it weren't for General Bing's favor, and he didn't kill us, do you think you can still stand here safely now?!"

"General Bing's Ice Snow Spear is an ancient weapon, and you are cultivating the power of cold attribute. As long as you can retrieve the Ice Snow Spear, your cultivation will definitely be greatly improved. By the time I am a hundred years old, you will have enough strength to subdue those people in the family, and it may even be possible for our family to give birth to another Ice General."

"Isn't everything I did for you?"

The young general smiled naively and said, "Grandfather, I am just worried that if that person sees the Ice Snow Spear and becomes greedy, we may not be able to deal with him."

"Humph!"

The old general snorted coldly: "Grandson, you still have a lot to learn."

"Do you think I haven't thought about this, Grandfather?"

"That Jin Renfeng is the favorite student of the Eastern Alliance Leader. He has seen countless magic weapons. Let's not talk about whether he would look down on the Binglingxue Spear. Even if he is really tempted, how could a person of his status do such a thing as robbery? Wouldn't it ruin his reputation if it got out?"

"What's more, the other party is a fire cultivator. Even if he gets the Ice Snow Spear, he won't be able to use it. Instead of worrying about this problem, I am more concerned about whether he has enough strength to snatch the Ice Snow Spear from Fan Yunfei..."

"How about this, tomorrow I will personally lead the Golden Human Phoenix to challenge Fan Yunfei, and you will lead a group of people to quietly approach from the side. The Binglingxue Spear is buried in the tomb of the Sand Fox King and General Bing."

The young general was stunned and said, "Grandfather, this is not a good idea. What if we anger that sand fox..."

"Grandson, listen to your grandfather. It's decided."

Jin Renfeng recovered his soul, opened his eyes, and understood the whole story.

In fact, the key is not Li Xueyang’s body, but her weapon - the Bingling Snow Spear.

"Interesting, so this is what you were planning." Jin Renfeng's eyes were deep and his face was calm. No one could guess what he was thinking at this moment.

Everyone said that Fan Yunfei was missing, but it turns out that he had been guarding Li Xueyang's grave.

The next morning.

The old general led several soldiers, holding spears, wearing tiger-head bronze armor, and looked heroic.

"Mr. Jin, we can set off now."

Jin Renfeng nodded slightly with a calm look on his face.

The group traveled through the yellow sand desert and finally arrived at their destination before noon.

In front of me was a valley with rolling yellow sand. However, in this deserted place, there was a wooden house, which clearly showed that there had been life here.
