Leo King's Palace.
In front of a dilapidated palace, an old man stood with his hands behind his back.
It was Ding Zhong.
In terms of status, even though Ding Zhong was only a Vice Palace Master, in terms of seniority, even the Seven Palace Masters would give him some face.
He had been living here ever since the Leo King's Palace was established.
Ding Zhong looked at the slightly dilapidated hall in front of him. The traces of time that pervaded it made him feel a myriad of emotions.
The mottled palace before him was the place where the Leo King's Palace Master, Ying Shi, had once gone into seclusion.
When the Leo King's Palace was founded, he had stayed here. He had never left the Leo King's Palace over the years and had witnessed its ups and downs.
Ying Shi, whose talent was once unrivaled in the heavens, appeared out of nowhere. How shocking was that?
At that time, the Leo King's Palace was the leader of the seven palaces. All the cultivators were proud to join the Leo King's Palace.
When Heavenly Phoenix Divine Lord taught here in the past, cultivators from all over the continent would come to listen to the lecture. There were no empty seats.
"If only the Hall Master was still here.”A complicated look flashed across Ding Zhong's turbid eyes.
Ying Shi was supposed to be the future commander of the Fiery Phoenix Legion, the commander of the entire continent. However, because of a single mistake, he had caused a huge disaster…
If Ying Shi had not misunderstood back then, would the current situation be different?
However, there was one thing that he could not figure out all these years.
Why did the usually calm Palace Master suddenly make such a huge mistake because of a misunderstanding?
At this moment, a series of faint footsteps sounded from behind.
The person was wearing a python robe. When his tiger eyes opened and closed, he was not angry. He was Heavenly King Xie Ruigang.
Ding Zhong's eyelids twitched. His old eyes glanced at the latter before he withdrew his gaze. He did not have the slightest intention of welcoming him.
Heavenly King Xie Ruigang did not mind. Instead, he chuckled and said,"Old Master Ding, are you here to reminisce about your old friend again?"
Ding Zhong was silent.
Xie Ruigang raised his head and looked at the palace that was filled with endless mystery. He sighed and said,"I really miss the time when Master and Junior Brother were still around. At that time, the Flamephoenix Legion had flags planted all over the entire God Spirit Continent.”
" At that time, the Leo King's Palace was the sacred land of the army. Unfortunately…"
Ding Zhong remained silent, only quietly looking at the palace in front of him.
Xie Ruigang suddenly looked at him and smiled faintly."The reason why the Leo King's Palace has declined is because there is no Palace Master.”
He paused for a moment, then said,""Elder Ding, you have always been in the Leo King's Palace and have always been a highly respected person. In my heart, you are the most suitable candidate for the position of Palace Master.”
Ding Zhong's expression did not change at all as he said,"The Fiery Phoenix Legion has a rule. Only those with the Seal of the Hall Master are qualified to be the Hall Master and rule the Leo King's Palace.”
"Old Ding, you're an old man in the Leo King's Palace," Xie Ruigang said."Have you not discovered the whereabouts of the Sage Lion Seal all these years?”
Ding Zhong shook his head. His eyes flickered as he said,"When the time comes, perhaps it will appear.”
He turned around and looked deeply at Xie Ruigang."I'm afraid that the reason why Hallmaster Xie is so anxious about the Hallmaster Seal is not just to have a new Hallmaster in the Leo King's Palace, right?”
"You should know that the strongest force in the Divine Spirit Continent is no longer our Fiery Phoenix Legion, but the Great Yan Dynasty.”
" Let's not talk about the Divine Spirit Continent." He sighed and said," Even in the north, there are some forces that have recently become restless and restless. They are trying to get rid of our rule…"
Upon hearing the name of the Great Yan Empire, Ding Zhong's eyes suddenly turned cold. The Fire Phoenix Legion had fallen to such a state. It was really difficult to sever the relationship between them and the legendary Yan Emperor.
Seeing his expression, Xie Ruigang shook his head and said," Ying Shi's betrayal and Master's disappearance must be the work of the Yan Emperor. However, we are unable to kill our enemies and restore our former glory…"
He changed the topic and said casually," I've heard Master say before that the Seven Sacred Seals are actually different parts of a sacred object. If we can gather the Seven Sacred Seals and let the sacred object reappear in the world, perhaps…"
"You want it?" Ding Zhong narrowed his murky eyes.”
" Yes." Xie Ruigang nodded slightly and said," If we can control the sacred object, we can deal with the Yan Emperor. Only then can our Fire Phoenix Legion regain its former glory…"
"I think the marshal knows about such a secret.”Ding Zhong lowered his gaze slightly and said casually,"But it seems like you care more about the Leo King's Palace's Seal than the marshal.”
" Su Xiaobei is in charge of the Fire Phoenix Legion," said Xie Ruigang with a smile." She's too busy to be in charge of anything. As Master's eldest disciple, it's only right for me to help her out."”
Ding Zhong shook his head." Of course I want a Hallmaster for the Leo King's Palace. It's just that I haven't been able to find the Hallmaster Seal all these years.”
"So, don't think about it…"
Xie Ruigang's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Ding Zhong suddenly turned around and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
After walking about ten steps, Ding Zhong suddenly stopped. He stared at the void in front of him and slowly said,"Instead of focusing on this untraceable Palace Master Seal, Palace Master Xie should think about what he should do as a Palace Master…"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly left.
Xie Ruigang's eyes flickered, and his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
After class, Xu Hang bounced back to the courtyard.
Since he had signed up for the court examinations, he had to work hard in the next three months.
Although Wu Qilin was shut down by his showy actions, Xu Hang knew that in terms of strength, there was still a big gap between him and Wu Qilin.
In the Demonic Beast World, Wu Qilin's single sword was enough to make Xu Hang feel immense pressure. If Wu Qilin attacked with his full strength, Xu Hang really did not know what to do.
However, just as Xu Hang was returning along the small path, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He saw a figure in a python robe standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.
It was Heavenly King Xie Ruigang!
Xu Hang's pupils constricted slightly. Heavenly King Xie Ruigang was blocking the way. Could it be that he was here to find trouble with him?
After all, he had stolen his son Xie Ying's boss a few days ago.
At the same time, Heavenly King Xie Ruigang also sensed something. He turned his head and looked at Xu Hang with his deep eyes.
The moment their gazes met, Xu Hang felt his entire body tremble. It was as if he had sunk into the deep sea, and a terrifying pressure enveloped him.
Just a glance was enough to make him feel a piercing pain all over his body. If he really attacked him, it would probably only be a matter of raising his hand!
However, he quickly calmed down. As the master of a hall, the other party should not lower his status to find trouble with him.
Sure enough, Xie Ruigang's gaze gradually became gentle. He smiled and said,"Class is over?"
Xu Hang felt uncomfortable all over, but he still braced himself and responded.
Xie Ruigang walked forward and smiled faintly."Xu Hang, you're quite talented. Staying in this half-dead Leo King's Palace is a waste of your talent.”
"Are you interested in coming to the Heaven Seat King?"
Xu Hang was slightly stunned when he heard this. Was it that direct?
" A phoenix should perch on a parasol tree, not a dead tree," Xie Ruigang said." If you join the Heaven Seat King, I guarantee that you will become a Divine Guard within a year."”
"You have to know that the Divine Guard realm is as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns even in the entire continent.”
"Thank you for your good intentions, Hall Master," Xu Hang said with a faint smile.”
Xie Ruigang's expression was indifferent. He was not surprised by this and still smiled."I just don't understand why you chose the Leo King's Palace.”
" As I said before, I can't bear to see the Leo King's Palace fall," Xu Hang said with a smile." I want to revitalize the Leo King's Palace on my own…"
"However, to be honest with you, Hall Master, these are just excuses for outsiders to hear.”
He sighed and said self-deprecatingly," Actually, I don't have that many thoughts. To be honest, I'm just a refugee and not a local cultivator. What does the Leo King's Palace have to do with me?”
" I'm just used to being poor in the first half of my life. I've had too many hard days. Now that I've suddenly achieved something, I want to enjoy myself. I joined the Leo King's Palace because there's less pressure in the palace, so it's more suitable for me to laze around and wait for death.”
Xie Ruigang's eyes flickered as he said,"From your performance, it doesn't seem like you're just waiting for death."”
"Defeating Song Yu, fighting Yang Hao, scolding Wu Qilin, there have been many voices about you recently.”
Xu Hang said," Song Yu mocked me, so I naturally have to deal with him. Wu Qilin stole my things, so I definitely have to deal with him. I'll deal with whoever makes me unhappy."”
Xie Ruigang's eyes suddenly became sharp as he said,"Aren't you afraid that if you offend someone, they will cause trouble for you in the future?”
Xu Hang shook his head and said," I have nothing to fear if I don't want anything. I'm not afraid of offending people either. Anyway, I never thought of climbing up. Why should I suffer?"”
Xie Ruigang was slightly silent, and his face trembled violently. The harmless Xu Hang in front of him could not help but remind him of a demon beast called Bro Flattop.
There was a saying that whether the demonic beast world was chaotic or not, Bro Flattop had the final say.
In Bro Flattop's dictionary, there was no such thing as retreating. Even if he encountered a nine-star demonic beast, he would dare to fight it.
Could it be that his personality was the same as Bro Flattop's?
