Chapter 177: Old Coin, Changing Fate
"Feng Zhiheng wants to see the human race's Emperor Ning!"

The Fire Phoenix clan's great saint Feng Zhiheng stood in front of the pass, politely.

His voice was deep and powerful, and could be heard within a hundred miles of the Demon-Suppressing Light.

Not long after, Lin Jingzhi appeared. He waved his hand and the five demon-suppressing soldiers who had surrounded him retreated one after another.

"Follow me." Lin Jingzhi didn't waste any words and turned to walk inside the pass.

Feng Zhiheng and the four White Tiger Demon Saints followed closely behind.

Soon, Lin Jingzhi appeared in the Marshal's Mansion with five people.

In the meeting hall.

Emperor Ning sat on the throne, the Third Prince was also there, as well as Chen Xian, Xiahou Yu and other powerful men in the Wanxiang Realm.

After a while, Feng Zhiheng and the other four followed Lin Jingzhi into the hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. The person has arrived!" Lin Jingzhi saluted.

Emperor Ning waved his hand and cast a cold gaze on Feng Zhiheng. He knew Feng Zhiheng, but they had never fought.

"Greetings to the human emperor!" Feng Zhiheng and the other four stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Ning.

There was no way out. His demon clan was defeated in two consecutive large-scale wars, and the demon prince and princess were also abducted. They came to ask for peace, but they had no choice but to bow their heads.

"I know you, the Great Sage of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Please tell me what Emperor Cang means." Emperor Ning spoke slowly.

Feng Zhiheng did not speak first, but shook the ring in his hand, and treasure boxes, gold, silver, jewelry, and natural treasures appeared in front of everyone.

"This is a small gift from the emperor of our tribe. I hope the emperor of the human race will accept it." Feng Zhiheng said.

Emperor Ning glanced at the treasure chests one by one. There were many elixirs, utensils, armors, natural treasures, etc., all of which were rare items.

He said expressionlessly: "I will accept it!"

He waved his hand and someone quickly came forward to carry the treasure box away.

Feng Zhiheng continued, "The Great Emperor of our tribe has said that if the emperor of the human race releases the two princes, our dynasty will not attack Daning again within ten years. If you break your promise, I will never make any further progress in my life."

"Fifty years!"

Emperor Ning didn't want to waste time talking to Feng Zhiheng, so he spoke coldly.

"impossible!"

Feng Zhiheng shook his head and said, "The Great Emperor said that our race will tolerate you for a maximum of ten years, and give you a ten-year opportunity to develop."

"Then there's nothing to talk about. Let's go back." Emperor Ning waved his hand and said, not taking Feng Zhiheng seriously at all, even though the latter was much stronger than him.

Seeing Emperor Ning getting up to leave, Feng Zhiheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Emperor Ning, please wait a moment. Fifteen years at most!"

"Forty years!"

Emperor Ning also knew that it was impossible to make the demon tribe stop fighting for fifty years. Seeing Feng Zhiheng wavering, he also took a step back.

Feng Zhiheng gritted his teeth secretly, the human race is all old coins, they have been talking for fifty years, and then they will talk to you slowly.

"Twenty years, this is the longest tolerance my demon race can give!" he said while gritting his teeth.

"Thirty years, not even a year less." Emperor Ning said in a firm and resolute tone.

Feng Zhiheng almost wanted to lose his temper, but he endured it for a long time, and said with his eyes slightly closed: "Okay, then thirty years, this Saint will meet the two princes of my clan now."

"no!"

Emperor Ning waved his hand and said, "A truce for thirty years. Cang Mingyun and his sister must remain as hostages in the human race and be released back to the demon race after thirty years."

"You...!"

Feng Zhiheng clenched his fist with a click.

You old coin!!

"If you don't release the two princes, our clan can only agree to ten years." Feng Zhiheng said gritting his teeth.

Emperor Ning sneered and said disdainfully: "I don't care, whether it's ten years or thirty years, anyway, you go back and tell Emperor Cang that without thirty years, I will never release Cang Mingyun and his sister."

"If you don't accept it, you demonic dynasty can attack as much as you want. My army will destroy as many as you can."

Madness!

Feng Zhiheng cursed inwardly: "This Saint wants to meet the two princes, I hope Emperor Ning can arrange it."

Emperor Ning shook his head: "I said, it's impossible, the two of them are alive and well. During the truce, I will absolutely ensure that the two of them are unharmed, and I will treat them with the etiquette of a prince and princess, so Emperor Cang can rest assured."

"If within 30 years, your demon army attacks my demon-suppressing pass, then everything will be in jeopardy."

Hearing this, Feng Zhiheng gritted his teeth in anger. Not only did he not meet Cang Mingyun and his sister, but in the end he still signed a truce agreement on behalf of Emperor Cang.

But he hesitated between a ten-year truce and a thirty-year truce.

If you sign a thirty-year agreement, you have to comply. If you sign a ten-year agreement, then you have to start fighting ten years later.

"Feng Zhiheng, the fate of your prince and princess depends on your thoughts, what are you still hesitating about?" Lin Jingzhi took the opportunity to shout.

His aura was not enough to influence Feng Zhiheng, but his words did.

When Feng Zhiheng heard the word "fate", he immediately wrote a truce for thirty years.

For his demon clan, thirty years is just a blink of an eye, so thirty years is just thirty years.

After signing the agreement.

Feng Zhiheng stood up and looked around and asked, "Who is Chen Xian?"

Without waiting for Chen Xian to say anything, the White Tiger Demon Saint pointed at the door and said, "Great Saint, that's him."

Feng Zhiheng's gaze fell on Chen Xian, and when he saw him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He is indeed a rare talent, with a handsome appearance.

He stared at Chen Xian deeply, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but did not say anything. He turned around, said goodbye to Emperor Ning, and left with the White Tiger Demon Saint and the other three.

After returning to the place where the Wanli demons were stationed, Feng Zhiheng said, "That Chen Xian practiced a very advanced concealment technique, but it could not be hidden from my Holy Fire Eyes. His soul body collapsed, and his cultivation should have dropped significantly, but I don't know how much it has dropped."

As he said that, he looked at Qi Yanfang and said, "Find someone among the human race and get rid of him."

"It's the Great Sage!" Qi Yanfang nodded.

He knew that Chen Xian had offended three princes, the Pang family and Prince Anhuai, and these people all wished Chen Xian would die.

Once the news of Chen Xian's shattered soul body is passed on to the interior of the country, I believe that it won't take long for Chen Xian to die.

To deal with Chen Xian, we have to let them fight each other.

……

After a thirty-year truce with the demon tribe, Emperor Ning was in a good mood.

It was decided to leave 100,000 elite troops at the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

After half a day's discussion, it was decided to leave the Golden Dragon Army behind, and all other demon-suppressing soldiers returned to the capital.

May 23rd.

Emperor Ning summoned Chen Xian and asked him to serve as an official in the court.

"Your Majesty, I plan to enter the Demon Suppression Division." Chen Xian had already thought about it. Being an official in the court would bring many troubles, and with his personality, he might offend anyone.

The Demon Suppression Division is a good place to go, a place to slay demons and eliminate evil, which just matches his panel. He can also gain some experience, even if it is very little, it is better than becoming an official in the court and gaining no experience at all.

"Demon Suppression Department?"

Emperor Ning did not expect that Chen Xian would go to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Hasn’t he killed enough demons yet?

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Xian's personality is suitable for training in the Demon Suppression Division, so he nodded and agreed immediately: "Okay, I will promote you to the deputy director of the Fengtian Realm Demon Suppression Division, and you will take office in a month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xian was overjoyed.

Emperor Ning nodded secretly: "I will fulfill all the promises I made to you before. The Marquis of Divine Courage Mansion will be built in Fengtian City. After the mansion is built, the 100,000 taels of gold will be awarded together."

"As for the 100,000 households, I have seen your ancestral home. Fengyun County has a total of 210,000 households, and half of them are registered under your name, Marquis Shenyong. The land, taxes, and various business incomes are all managed by you, Marquis Shenyong. You only need to pay some taxes to the treasury every year. You will understand the specific situation yourself when the time comes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" Chen Xian nodded.

"Besides this, what other reward do you want?" Emperor Ning asked with a smile.

Are there any rewards?

Chen Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I want a secret method to repair the soul body."

"The secret method to repair the soul body?" Emperor Ning frowned slightly: "Is your soul body broken?"

He couldn't see Chen Xian's soul, so he didn't know the situation.

Chen Xian nodded: "It is no secret that my soul body is broken in the Demon Suppression Pass. It was broken during the life-and-death battle with Pang De. It has never been repaired, which has greatly affected my progress in cultivation."

Emperor Ning was not aware of this matter.

He nodded secretly and said, "There are very few secret methods to repair the soul body. I don't carry them with me, and I didn't have them before the border. But there are three copies in the Martial Arts Pavilion. When I return to the capital, I will copy three copies and send them to you. You can practice them as you see fit."

"But I remind you that repairing the soul body is very difficult, and it is as difficult as changing your fate."

Emperor Ning did not expect that Chen Xian's spiritual body would be shattered, and he felt secretly sorry in his heart.

Once the primordial spirit body is broken, it is almost hopeless to reach the realm of supernatural powers in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xian's monstrous talent would encounter such a big difficulty. It all depends on whether he can use the secret method to repair his soul body. If not, Chen Xian's cultivation in this life will stop at the ninth level of Wanxiang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xian was overjoyed and bowed.

"I have said before that after this war, wives will be given to single men among the demon-suppressing soldiers. Your words are serious." Emperor Ning pondered for a moment and said.

Chen Xian said: "Your Majesty, I am still young, so this matter is not urgent."

Emperor Ning seemed to have expected Chen Xian to say this: "It doesn't matter. The one I want to marry to you is my most beloved daughter, the Seventeenth Princess. She is 28 years old and is a good match for you. After the mansion is built, I will announce it to the world. As for when to get married, I will give you three years."

Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly. This can't be forced!

I don’t even know what the most beloved Princess Seventeen looks like?
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness!" He sighed in his heart and could only express his gratitude.

There are still three years left, so let’s talk about it later.

……

Feihong Pavilion.

top layer.

The Sixth Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, Prince Anhuai and others gathered together to drink.

"We are finally going to return to the capital!" The Sixth Prince Ning Hong's eyes were sparkling with excitement. He was heartbroken waiting for this moment.

"Sixth brother, we all performed very well in this battle. Our father will definitely reward us when we return." The eighth prince Ning Xuan said.

In this battle, he rushed to the front and fought with the demons. Although the number of demons he killed was less than a hundred, there were still more than fifty.

Of course, he was protected by powerful Spirit Infant Realm warriors. When more than half of the demons were about to be killed by the powerful Spirit Infant Realm warriors around him, he would go up and give them a finishing blow.

"Haha, in this battle, this prince killed more than eighty demons. When I came back, my father's eyes looked at me with much softer eyes." The Sixth Prince Ning Hong was also very proud.

The fourth prince Ning Li also laughed. He didn't kill many demons, but the Black Dragon Army he led killed quite a few demons.

Needless to say, Prince An Huai is a powerful warrior in the Tiangang realm and must have killed many demons. His original military rank was also high, and his only goal was to restore his status as a prince.

Otherwise, his son might not even be able to inherit the title of prince.

In Daning, the title of prince cannot always be inherited, unless there are military merits. Otherwise, the prince's son will be demoted to a prince of a county. If the prince of a county has military merits, his status as prince will be restored. If there are no military merits, the eldest son will be demoted to a duke, and the other sons will be demoted to marquis, and so on, until they are demoted to commoners.

In fact, this is true for any title.

If there is no merit, one's status will be lowered from generation to generation until one becomes a commoner.

"I have received news that Chen Xian's soul body has been shattered and his cultivation strength has declined. It is a good time for me to return to the capital. I can deal with him after I return."

After three rounds of drinking, the Sixth Prince Ning Hong lowered his voice and said.

Everyone looked at the Sixth Prince. Yu Fengyan frowned and said, "His soul body was broken during the life-and-death battle with General Pang De. This is no secret. His cultivation strength has declined because he has practiced a method to conceal his cultivation aura. It is very clever. Don't be fooled by superficial phenomena."

Hearing this, everyone nodded continuously.

The fourth prince Ning Li said coldly, "Damn it, this prince wants to kill him the most, but that bastard is different now. He is the Marquis of Divine Bravery. Even though it is just a noble title, he has made great military achievements. He also killed the great demon Saint Thunder Frog and cut off the arm of the Holy Fire Kirin. With such terrifying strength, there are not many people in this world who can deal with him."

The eighth prince Ning Xuan frowned: "Fourth brother, why do you have the aura of that bastard and destroy your own prestige?"

Ning Li glanced at Ning Xuan and said, "I am telling the truth. There are indeed many people in this world who can kill him, but it would cost a lot to ask them to do so."

The Eighth Prince sneered: "No matter how much it costs, I will kill him."

Yu Fengyan sat aside without saying anything. In fact, if anyone wanted to kill Chen Xian, there were at least five people in his Yu family who could easily kill Chen Xian.

The Sixth Prince held the wine glass, his eyes wandering back and forth on Yu Fengyan, and after a while he smiled and said, "What's the point of spending so much money? The young master of the Yu family is here, and he is in the same place as that bastard. He is in the Fengtian realm, and he can be killed with just a little trick."

"Yes!" The eighth prince Ning Xuan couldn't help but look at Yu Fengyan.

A hint of arrogance immediately appeared on Yu Fengyan's face.

Once they leave the Demon-Suppressing Pass, it would be very easy to kill Chen Xian, and his Yu family does have the strength to do so.

Even in the future, these princes will have to use his Yu family.

Yuwenxuan, Zhao Chengan, Chang Heng, Prince Anhuai, Gu Daiming and others all looked at Yu Fengyan differently.

The Yu family of Longtang Lake in Fengtian Realm is a great family that has been passed down for thousands of years, from the Daqing Dynasty to the Daning Dynasty, and it has lasted for thousands of years.

"Mr. Yu, I leave this matter to you. Your service as an official in the court will be left to me and my sixth brother." Ning Xuan said sinisterly.

Yu Fengyan nodded calmly: "Don't worry, Eighth Prince, I will not let that bastard go, just wait for my news."

"it is good!"

The Sixth Prince Ning Hong picked up the wine glass: "Come, drink!"

……

The five armies to suppress demons.

Chen Xian found Xiahou Yu and explained the situation. He also told him that Emperor Ning had rewarded him with the secret method of repairing his soul body and appointed him as the deputy director of the Fengtian Realm Demon Suppression Office.

As for this deputy chief, Chen Xian didn't know what rank of military officer he was.

After asking, I found out that he was a fourth-rank official.

If he is the deputy director of the Kyoto Town Demon General Administration, he will be of the third rank.

Chen Xianyi was a fourth-rank official, which was not a low position, not to mention he also had the identity of Marquis of Divine Bravery.

Even if he is a fourth-rank military officer, he should be quite impressive in Fengtian Territory.

"Have you told His Majesty that something happened at home?"

"I've told you, Your Majesty, please give me a month to take up my post at the Fengtian City Headquarters. By then, the documents for taking office will be in place." Chen Xian nodded with a smile.

Xiahou Yu nodded secretly: "After this farewell, I don't know when I will see you again? Will you still remember me, Xiahou Yu, by then?"

Chen Xian felt a little sad when he heard this.

"The general has been very kind to me, Chen Xian. I will never forget it. As long as I am free, Chen Xian will definitely visit the general, even if it is thousands of miles away."

"Haha, your words are enough!" Xiahou Yu smiled and nodded: "You and Feng'er have a good relationship. Young people can go out more often and don't let your feelings fade."

Chen Xian nodded, took out a jar of wine from his storage ring, poured a glass for Xiahou Yu and also poured a glass for himself.

"General, take care!"

After Chen Xian toasted Xiahou Yu with a glass, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"You have a storage ring?" Xiahou Yu was very surprised.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "It was an accidental discovery."

Xiahou Yu held the wine glass, drank it first, wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "The storage ring is extremely precious, don't show it in front of others in the future, so as not to be missed by others."

Chen Xian nodded. Pei Menglong had also told him this.

Leave the central military tent.

He went to find Bao Guanlong again.

The generals who treated him well at Zhenyao Pass included Xiahou Yu, Bao Guanlong, and Li Jinghu, but unfortunately Li Jinghu had already died.

After parting with Bao Guanlong, Chen Xian called Tang Can, Yan Cheng and Pei Menglong to his tent and explained the situation.

"Are you going back early?"

Tang Can looked surprised, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"There is something urgent that I need to go back to deal with." Chen Xian said. The original owner had died, and he traveled through time and space and inherited the original owner's body and memories. The home in Fengyun County, Shiling County, Fengtian Realm is his home, the old father at home is his old father, and the sister is his sister.

Now that his old father is seriously ill, his sister is struggling to take care of him alone, while also facing harassment from the bullies in town.

If I don’t go back, I might not even be able to see my seriously ill old father.

"From now on, I am no longer your general. After returning to the court, His Majesty will reward you according to your merits. Maybe there will be a new position waiting for you to take over, or maybe you will be idle at home. Whether it is the court or the martial arts world, we will meet again in the future."

Chen Xian poured three bowls of wine, handed them to the three people and said.

Tang Can raised her eyebrows: "Why does your words make me feel a little sad?"

Chen Xian smiled and clinked his wine glass with the three of them.

Pei Menglong watched Chen Xian grow up. In just one year, Chen Xian grew from a young boy to a brave marquis. How many young people in the world could compare to such glory?
The battle was finally over and he could return home in glory.

"General, are you planning to be a leisurely marquis when you return to Fengtian, or do you have other plans?" Pei Menglong asked after drinking the bowl of wine.

Chen Xian said: "Your Majesty promoted me to the deputy director of Fengtian Realm's Demon Suppression Headquarters, and I will take office in a month."

"You choose to join the Demon Suppression Bureau?" Tang Can's eyes flickered.

Chen Xian nodded: "I am still young, I can't go home and live a leisurely life, and your majesty will not let me live a leisurely life."

"That's true!" Tang Can nodded.

Yan Cheng said: "The Demon Suppression Division is indeed a good place. Maybe I will also join the Demon Suppression Division. I will have a chance to meet the general in the future."

Chen Xian smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Pei, for your continued care. I am also very grateful to have met Princess Tang and General Yan. I am not a person who would say anything too sentimental. Anyway, if you need me, Chen Xian, in the future, just let me know."

The three of them nodded heavily.

After chatting for a while, the three of them left.
