781: Empty 781: Empty After the Evil God’s Eye opened, everything in sight became clear as day.
Where was there a palace in sight?
It was all treasures shining brightly.
Medicinal herbs, various rare treasures, the Immortal Fruit Trees—only a very small part was real, the rest were all illusions.
No wonder there was no effect after eating them.
No matter, let’s collect the items from the courtyard.
A shovel appeared in Tang Feng’s hand, and he started digging where the medicinal herbs were placed, as well as where the rare treasures were.
Consequently, the courtyard was full of holes, and in the void, a figure trembled incessantly, the corners of his mouth twitching.
It was a mistake to let this brat out.
Now the courtyard’s treasures have been plundered, but thankfully, he was clever, having stashed most of them inside the palace.
Uh!
Before he could gloat, Tang Feng suddenly dashed into a palace, followed by his hearty laughter.
No, this absolutely cannot continue.
The War God’s Evaluator, in fact, is the Hall Spirit of the palace and also a strand of the War God’s Divine Thought.
If it weren’t for Tang Feng’s accidental fusion with the sealed Evil God’s Eye, he might actually have handed over the legacy to him.
Alas, that thing was too evil, and he couldn’t guarantee that Tang Feng’s nature wouldn’t change.
This was why he excluded him from the outset—the items in the palace were meant for the War God’s successor.
With this brat’s meddling, what would be left for the successor then?
But he couldn’t just throw him out, so what to do?
Quickly, gather the treasures.
Tang Feng found that all the things he saw had disappeared.
In an instant, he realized something and cursed himself for not being fast enough.
It seemed there was nothing worthwhile left in the palace for him to claim.
Next up was finding someone.
With the Evil God’s Eye, prohibitions viewed as nothing, Tang Feng moved freely.
Like the true owner of the palace, the Hall Spirit shook his head in resignation.
It was the trouble he brought upon himself; he had to find a way to get this kid out, or there was no telling what kind of trouble would ensue.
“Kid, enough is enough.
You got a bunch of treasures; it’s time to leave.”
“I’m looking for someone.”
“Looking for who?”
“Qing Ling.
Is she undergoing the trials?”
“Indeed, but it seems she might not make it through,” said the Hall Spirit.
“You must let her pass.”
“What a joke, do you think you have the right to order me around?
The trials are fair.
Only if she passes on her own can she receive the legacy.
Otherwise, it’s death.”
“Listen, Artifact Spirit, am I discussing this with you?
No, I’m ordering you.
She must pass.
Otherwise, I will destroy this palace.”
“Ha—what kind of joke is that?
Even I can’t destroy it, and you think you can?”
“You’ve forgotten what I possess.
The Evil God’s Eye.
I’m fully aware of the central hub of the palace.
If I go there and damage the hub, you’ll have no place to reside, and this palace will crumble to the ground.”
“Damn you, you wouldn’t dare.”
“Is there anything I wouldn’t dare to do?
If my woman’s whereabouts were known to you, you would be screwed as well.
As for the War God’s legacy, I’ll make sure no one else gets it.
And if they do get it, I’ll slaughter everyone here,” Tang Feng asserted dominantly.
“Kid, you’re seeking death.” The Hall Spirit was furious, and a massive intent to fight surged towards Tang Feng.
Undying, invincible!
With those two enhancements, he remained unshaken.
The Hall Spirit was dumbfounded.
Such a martial intent could grind a God-casting Realm cultivator into dust, yet this kid was completely unaffected.
It was so far beyond logic that it was inexplicable.
Could he be the reincarnation of some great god?
No, that couldn’t be right; the Evil God’s Eye would surely have repelled him if that were the case.
It was incomprehensible, but he knew that Tang Feng meant what he said.
This kid wasn’t joking, so what should he do?
Truthfully handing over to Qing Ling, a girl at that?
However, the master never specified that the legacy couldn’t be passed to a woman.
Well then, let’s see what you are made of.
The Hall Spirit remained silent, and Tang Feng did not disturb it.
After a good while, it finally said, “Boy, I’ve agreed to your request.
The inheritance is given to that girl.
Now you can get lost.”
“How can I trust your words?”
“You’re killing me here.
How could a War God Evaluator like me lie?”
“That’s not necessarily true.
I need to see her in person to be reassured.”
“Such a petty mind.
She will be my master in the future, how could I harm her?”
Nevertheless, the Hall Spirit reluctantly compromised and activated Heavenly Vision, allowing Tang Feng to see Qing Ling bathed in a bundle of golden light, currently receiving the War God’s inheritance.
Only then did Tang Feng nod with a smile, “Alright, I was wrong to accuse you.
To thank you for giving Qing Ling such an opportunity, I’ll reward you with something.”
“Pfft, what could you have that’s of any value?
I don’t want it.”
“Are you sure?” Tang Feng took out an Immortal Soul Pill, which was an invaluable treasure for beings related to soul and Divine Sense.
How could the Hall Spirit not be tempted?
“That’s an Immortal Soul Pill!”
“Oh, you recognize it.”
“Impossible, how could you have an Immortal Soul Pill?
After that battle years ago, all the Pill Masters perished, and the Alchemy Dao was severed.
Unless it was obtained from the Secret Realm…” The Hall Spirit was very excited.
“The Secret Realm has these things?” Tang Feng said disdainfully.
“If it’s not from the Secret Realm, then where did it come from?”
“That’s none of your business.
Since you don’t want this elixir, then I’m leaving.”
“Wait, I misspoke just now, please forgive me.” The Hall Spirit wore a smile as if meeting a dear relative, even more affectionate.
“This elixir is quite valuable.”
“What do you want in exchange?”
“Not much, just one High Grade Immortal Vein, five Mid-grade Immortal Veins, and a hundred Lower Grade Immortal Veins.”
“Why don’t you just rob me.” The Hall Spirit was infuriated.
“Come on, don’t be stingy.
This palace has at least ten High Grade Immortal Veins.
Giving up one hardly makes a difference, and the Mid-grade and Lower Grade ones are even less significant,” Tang Feng reasoned.
“Only if you give me ten pills.”
“Deal, hand them over.” Tang Feng was overjoyed on the inside but maintained a calm exterior.
The Hall Spirit sullenly extracted various grades of Immortal Veins and then threw them to Tang Feng.
“Here, take eleven pills, so you don’t feel like you’re at a loss.” After saying this, Tang Feng flashed out of the palace.
“I never want to see him again, the cunning fellow.
I took such a loss this time.
But with these pills, at least I can recover twenty percent of my power.” The Hall Spirit grumbled.
Fortunately, Tang Feng didn’t hear that or he might have gotten scared.
The Hall Spirit, already immensely powerful, had not even exerted a tenth of its strength earlier and that too was restrained.
At that moment, Tang Feng exited the palace and the next instant the palace doors closed.
He then realized that nearly a hundred strong individuals from the Venerate Palace Realm and God-casting Realm had been expelled around the same time.
While they had obtained some treasures, it was nothing remarkable, essentially gaining nothing.
Seeing Tang Feng come out a step later than the rest, they naturally assumed that he had acquired more, hence these powerhouses targeted him.
“Kid, what did you get inside?
Hand it over.”
An Honorable Palace Immortal approached Tang Feng in a domineering manner.
“And who are you?” Tang Feng looked at the Honorable Palace Immortal before him, a mocking smile on his face.
“You’re asking for it.” The Honorable Palace Immortal, seeing Tang Feng dare to disregard him, was enraged and threw a punch with at least seventy percent of his strength.
Bang!
A scream rang out, and everyone froze for a moment.
Tang Feng was unharmed, while the man who struck was unlucky, being slapped and utterly defeated.
“I haven’t even spoken yet, and a mere Venerate Palace dares to act so recklessly?” A God-casting Realm powerhouse stepped forward.
“Yang Feng, what do you mean by this?” Seeing one of their own fall, another God-casting Realm individual stood up.
“How can you attack someone related to the palace’s secrets?
Where have you thrown your years of cultivation?” Yang Feng stated.
