Chapter 214: A Promise
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with slight hints of herbal scent. The two scents blended together, filling the entire space, making people feel a tightness in their hearts.
inside the room.
Cheng Fengzi sat on a chair beside him with a gloomy and extremely ugly face, his body slightly leaning forward, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was suppressing some surging emotions in his heart.
Sitting opposite him was Hong Fan, who also looked depressed.
At this moment, Hong Fan's face was as pale as paper, without any blood. His fluctuating breath showed that he was seriously injured and extremely weak.
On the table between the two of them, a token stained with blood was quietly placed. The blood had dried up, showing a dark red color, revealing an indescribable gloomy feeling. On the token, the two characters "Fang Jie" were engraved in the middle, and next to these two characters, "Bing belongs to Hai" was written.
This token belongs to Fang Jie.
Cheng Fengzi looked at the token in front of him, and a trace of regret that was hard to conceal flashed across his eyes.
He knew clearly that Fang Jie was impulsive and reckless, and always acted without consideration, but he was still careless and did not pay enough attention to him, which led to his death in this operation.
Cheng Fengzi gritted his teeth, Fang Jie's appearance and voice seemed to be still vivid in his mind. Cheng Fengzi had always admired this straightforward young man with a strong sense of justice.
Pity...
Hong Fan looked at Fengzi Cheng, he sighed and said: "Old Cheng, the dead cannot be resurrected, this is his fate. Can you take care of him for the rest of his life?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Fengzi also sighed heavily.
The Night Patrol's operation to encircle and suppress the Illuminati was a great victory. With only more than seventy people, they wiped out more than three hundred people from the so-called Illuminati.
This battle shocked all those who had ulterior motives in and outside the Yong Kingdom. It also made them put away their little thoughts and not dare to reveal them at this time.
However, behind every glorious victory there is often a huge price that is unknown to the public. In this battle, the Night Patrol Division also suffered heavy losses. Among the more than 70 people dispatched, more than 20 were seriously injured or sacrificed, and the rest were more or less injured.
Although this battle demonstrated the great power of the Yeyou Division, it also dealt a heavy blow to the division, causing serious damage to the entire division.
Hong Fan sat there quietly, tapping his fingers on the table from time to time, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound, as if he was thinking about something important.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and cast his gaze towards Cheng Fengzi who was standing opposite him. Then he asked, "Do you still remember the incident of killing your master that happened in Xiaoyao Mountain a while ago?"
When Fengzi Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Hong Fan suddenly mentioned this matter. He subconsciously shrugged his nose and then replied: "I remember that there was a man named Li Zhi who committed the crime of treason and murdered his teacher. He is wanted by Xiaoyao Mountain, but there is no news yet whether he has been captured."
After hearing Fengzi Cheng's answer, Hong Fan nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "Go and bring him back, and let him take over the position vacated by Fang Jie."
Cheng Fengzi's face was suddenly full of confusion. He opened his eyes wide and looked straight at Hong Fan, as if he wanted to see some clues from the other's face.
However, Hong Fan did not explain and just let him go.
Seeing this, Cheng Fengzi did not ask any more questions. After all, the company was seriously short of staff. Although there were reserve troops, there were too many monks and too little meat. The gap in staff was too big, and it was unknown when they would be able to fill the vacancies.
Since Captain Hong Fan already has a suitable candidate, he doesn't mind running errands to bring the person back.
After Cheng Fengzi left, Hong Fan took out a small bottle from somewhere. He looked at the bottle and whispered to himself, "I will take this opportunity to fulfill the task you asked me to do. Now, you can't say that I, Hong Fan, took the task without doing the job..."
…
Li Zhi was like a cheetah ready to pounce. He carefully bent his body, lowered his body as much as possible, and tried hard to reduce his presence.
Not far in front of him, there were five people walking slowly together. These five people were looking around vigilantly. They were looking for the trace of Li Zhi.
Li Zhi could sense these five people and found out that none of them were cultivators.
However, there were two people among them. Li Zhi saw that their movements and postures gave off a sense of naturalness, and their blood and energy were extremely vigorous. In Li Zhi's view of the Qi-watching technique, they were like a burning furnace.
Li Zhi guessed that the strength of these two people should not be much inferior to Dong Fang and Wang Yang.
The presence of these two people in the team was like two insurmountable mountains, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty for Li Zhi to act quickly and kill them all.
After all, once we start, if we can't kill them in the first place and are entangled by them, it is very likely to attract other people.
Because, through the mosquito demon's investigation, Li Zhi had already discovered that there were several other groups of people not far away. So at this moment, Li Zhi only hoped that he could sneak past without attracting their attention.
The people were getting closer and closer, and their conversations became clearer and clearer.
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. As they approached, Li Zhi's heart became calmer and calmer, and his aura was still well controlled, without revealing any flaws.
Li Zhi's eyes were like lightning, and he was closely watching the movements of those people. As long as they showed any abnormality, Li Zhi would attack them instantly. Li Zhi was confident that he could kill the other three weaker people among the five instantly when they were completely unprepared.
When the five people were only a few steps away from Li Zhi, even though Li Zhi was very brave, he felt a little nervous. But despite being nervous, he remained motionless.
Suddenly, the person walking in front of the team seemed to have noticed something strange. He stopped walking abruptly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly glanced towards the direction where Li Zhi was.
Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he subconsciously thought that he had been completely exposed. Just when he was about to lose control and was about to take action.
But the man just glanced at her quickly and then looked away.
Seeing this, his companion beside him hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The man shook his head slightly and responded: "Nothing, maybe I'm just too sensitive."
The others smiled and said nothing when they heard this.
However, at this moment, the two strongest among the five of them suddenly ran towards Li Zhi without any warning.
There was a gleam in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had noticed Li Zhi just now. They just pretended not to know in an attempt to dispel Li Zhi's doubts and guard.
But they really underestimated Li Zhi. The moment they took action, Li Zhi had already taken action.
Facing the two people attacking him, Li Zhi's face remained unchanged. Instead of retreating, he moved forward like an arrow, rushing forward, passing directly by the two people, and then attacking the other three people swiftly.
The faces of the two stronger men suddenly changed. They had never expected that Li Zhi would be so bold. Facing the siege of the two of them, he actually skipped over them and attacked the other three instead.
The two of them turned around quickly and wanted to get help.
But they could never have imagined that when they turned around, the scene before them would change drastically in an instant.
All they could see was brown mud, which rolled up like waves. Then, it came crushing towards them with tremendous force.
Not far from them, the other three had been killed by five little ghosts who had appeared out of nowhere.
