Chapter 194: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 15
Before Ling Xi came back, Runyu, accompanied by the Nightmare Beast, planned to return to Xuanji Palace after finishing arranging the stars on the Star-Arranging Platform.

When he walked through the Beitian Gate, he slowly walked through the barrier, but a breath followed him silently and passed through the barrier without being discovered by the guards.

Runyu's eyes suddenly froze, a cold look appeared in his eyes, and he summoned spiritual power in his hands and attacked the black fog.

The white sleeves of his clothes fluttered, and the hem of his clothes floated up with Runyu's movements, moving without wind, making him look particularly handsome and unrestrained.

Under Runyu's attack, the black fog dissipated, and a masked man in black came out. He was wrapped tightly without a single gap, with only a pair of eyes exposed, making it difficult to distinguish.

When Runyu saw those eyes, he felt they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

Then, the man took the initiative to attack, Runyu met him, and the two started fighting.

Only then did Runyu realize that the black-clothed man's spiritual power was actually quite good and he could handle it with ease.

Runyu did not exert all of his strength and only used half of his spiritual power level.

Walls have eyes. It would be bad if his true strength was known to others and caused trouble.

The Queen Mother has always been wary of him, and Runyu has always been suppressing his true spiritual power. Except for Ling Xi, no one in the Heavenly Palace knows his true strength.

Runyu cast a spell. He had water spiritual power. The surging water rushed out and formed a majestic water dragon, rushing towards the man in black.

The man in black quickly cast a spell to resist Runyu's attack. When he found that it was useless, he took the opportunity to throw out a small ball. The ball exuded a hot breath of fire spiritual power. Runyu's arm was accidentally touched by the ball, and then his wrist was burned by the scorching fire, leaving a wound.

The man in black took the opportunity to escape, and Runyu chased after him.

However, unexpectedly, the place the man in black came to in the end was the Qiwu Palace where Xu Feng had his rebirth.

Could it be that the person that person really wanted to deal with was Xu Feng? Was he going to take advantage of Xu Feng's rebirth?

Several questions kept flashing through Runyu's mind. He had a vague answer, but he couldn't help but think of what Ling Xi had said to him.

Keep him away from the place where Xu Feng was reborn and don't get close to him.

After hesitating for a few moments, thinking that Xufeng was his younger brother, Runyu still appeared outside the Qiwu Palace where Xufeng had attained nirvana.

As soon as he appeared, Xu Feng's loyal guard Liao Yuanjun, who was guarding outside the palace, came forward with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Runyu smiled bitterly in his heart. As expected, as soon as he appeared, they were wary of him. This attitude was enough to explain many problems.

"Mr. Liaoyuan." He called out.

Lord Liaoyuan bowed and said, "Your Highness Yeshen, I wonder why you came here in the middle of the night?"

Runyu didn't care about their attitude at this time, he just told them his purpose: "I was on duty at the North Gate just now, and saw a man in black suddenly broke in and ran all the way here. I wonder if Lord Liaoyuan noticed it?"

Lord Liaoyuan didn't take it seriously, thinking that this was Runyu's idea to destroy Xufeng's Nirvana. His eyes became more wary of Runyu, and he replied, "Your Highness, I haven't seen him."

He turned around and asked the other guards, "Have you seen the man in black?" Several guards shook their heads, "No."

Faced with this situation, Runyu wanted to turn around and leave, but in the end, his worry for Xufeng prevailed. He restrained his expression and said seriously: "Now is the critical moment of Xufeng's Nirvana. I am afraid that the man in black has evil intentions and is targeting Xufeng. Please follow me, Lord Liaoyuan, and let's catch him together."

He took a step forward, but was stopped by Lord Liaoyuan, who said, "The Queen Mother has ordered that Qiwu Palace be closed tonight. No one is allowed to disturb us. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Runyu saw clearly that although Lord Liaoyuan spoke politely, his attitude made it clear that he was just short of claiming that he had entered Qiwu Palace.

Runyu has been with Ling Xi for so many years, and apart from other things, he has learned some of Ling Xi's inherent violent temper, which is to avenge grievances and revenge. They are seeking death, so why should he stop them?

Now they themselves don't take this matter seriously, so why should he care what they do.

Because of the slight blood relationship, Runyu kindly reminded: "Well, I just fought with the man in black. He has strong spiritual power and great cultivation. I hope Lord Liaoyuan will be more cautious."

Lord Liaoyuan: "Your Highness and my Highness have a deep brotherly bond. I am grateful and will not slack off."

Runyu waved his long sleeves and said, "In that case, goodbye."

As he walked away, Runyu thought about what Liaoyuanjun had said about the deep brotherly love, but felt a little ironic in his heart. He didn't know how long this deep brotherly love could last. Who knew one day, the brothers might turn against each other.

Not long after Runyu left, Xufeng's nirvana reached a critical moment. The phoenix with fire burning all over its body circled above Qiwu Palace, and the loud and clear cry of the phoenix rang out in the sky.

But at this moment, an unknown force took the opportunity to attack the Phoenix that was about to fly upwards. The Phoenix was attacked, its own fire caught fire and turned into a fireball. After being injured, it fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace, and its whereabouts are unknown.

The God of Fire was attacked during his Nirvana, and this incident topped the news list of the Heavenly Palace for a time. When the Emperor and Empress of Heaven learned about it, they were furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Xuanji Palace.

As soon as Runyu returned to Xuanji Palace, Lingxi sensed his presence, walked out from the backyard, came to greet him, took his arm and looked at him, and asked: "Did you go to Xufeng's Nirvana? How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing the worried look on Ling Xi's face, Runyu felt warm in his heart and comforted her, "Axi, don't worry, I'm fine."

Ling Xi saw the scars on Runyu's hand from the fire magic, and said helplessly: "You said you were fine, but you are injured? The fire spirit power counteracts your magic, so this wound must be painful."

While complaining, green spiritual power appeared in Ling Xi's hand and slowly moved across his arm. The fire spiritual power in the wound was eliminated, but the wound on the surface still looked very serious, which looked terrible.

"Alright," Ling Xi retracted his spiritual power and said, "I have treated your wound. It is fine now. When the Emperor and Empress of Heaven come to question you, you can show them this wound. I think they won't say anything."

Runyu put down his sleeves to cover the serious wound on the surface, and asked with a smile in his eyes: "How did you know that the Father Emperor and the Mother Goddess would ask me to question them?"

Ling Xi waved her hand: "I heard that something happened to the phoenix Xu Feng when it was reborn. I think the Queen will not miss this opportunity to slander you. Moreover, the people who attacked Xu Feng might frame you. In short, you have to be careful."

Runyu kept her words in mind: "I remember it."

Xu Feng was injured, and he was the only beneficiary. It was inevitable that the Father Emperor and the Mother Goddess would naturally cast suspicious eyes on him.
