After Huo Yuan left, Zhao Fengnian smiled bitterly, looked at Chen Lei, and said, "Brother Li, this trip was a waste of your time. Not only did you not gain any credit, but you got yourself into trouble. This secret must be kept to yourself and not be revealed at all."
Chen Lei nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, please rest assured. I can still do this."
Although he did not get any credit this time, it did not matter to Chen Lei, because he did not care about the credit of the Black Dragon Hall at all. However, this time he unexpectedly got news about Zheng Qi, which was the most important thing to Chen Lei.
From Huo Yuan's words, Chen Lei already knew that Zheng Qi was very safe now, and Zheng Qi possessed the blood of all spirits, which was the key to opening the Nebula Mountain, so there would be no problems.
As long as Zheng Qi is safe for the time being, everything else will be easy.
Zhao Fengnian said to Chen Lei: "That's good, let's end this matter here, let's go back."
Chen Lei naturally agreed, and then returned to the Black Dragon Palace with Zhao Fengnian.
After returning to the Black Dragon Palace, they needed to report the trip to the Black Dragon Guards. Zhao Fengnian and Chen Lei both said the same thing, that is, this operation did not yield any findings and Huo Yuan's whereabouts were not found.
The elder in charge of the Black Dragon Guard had no doubt at all about what Zhao Fengnian and Chen Lei said, because Huo Yuan was indeed very cunning and it was impossible for ordinary Black Dragon Guards to find any trace of Huo Yuan.
In the next few days, Chen Lei did not go to the Black Dragon Palace because he already knew Zheng Qi's whereabouts. Instead, he concentrated on practicing in his own residence.
Ten days later, Chen Lei received a notice from the Black Dragon Palace that the time to open Nebula Mountain had come, and asked Chen Lei to go to the Black Dragon Palace.
After Chen Lei received the notice, he rushed to the Black Dragon Palace as soon as possible.
When Chen Lei arrived at the Black Dragon Palace, he met the deputy palace master Han Tianqi.
"Li Feng, now, the conditions for opening the Nebula Mountain have been fully prepared. Now, let's go to the entrance of Nebula Mountain. You can go with me."
After meeting Chen Lei, Han Tianqi went straight to the point and spoke directly.
"Yes, sir." Chen Lei nodded and agreed readily.
Afterwards, Chen Lei and Han Tianqi boarded a spirit boat and flew towards Xingyun Mountain.
And on this spirit boat, Chen Lei met Zheng Qi as expected.
Zheng Qi was in good spirits at this time, but he was being guarded by several strong men from the Black Dragon Palace.
"Li Feng, this is Zheng Qi, who has the blood of all spirits and is the key figure in opening up the Xingyun Mountain. He is very important. You are responsible for protecting Zheng Qi and cannot let him have any accidents. Do you understand?"
At this time, Han Tianqi spoke to Chen Lei and assigned him a task.
In fact, Han Tianqi attaches great importance to Zheng Qi. Not only Chen Lei is responsible for looking after and protecting Zheng Qi, but several top experts are also responsible for protecting Zheng Qi.
Chen Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Palace Master. I promise to protect him."
After saying that, Chen Lei walked a few steps to Zheng Qi's side and provided close protection for Zheng Qi.
