725: 724: Summoned by the North Emperor 725: 724: Summoned by the North Emperor In the City Lord Mansion, Long Chengfeng also knew that Tang Feng was in some trouble—the North Emperor was someone you absolutely did not want to cross.
What to do?
Tang Feng pondered as well, the only solution was something occurring unexpectedly on the way.
To someone like the North Emperor, a minor player such as a Golden Immortal wasn’t truly significant—essentially, it was all for showing off to the entire Northern Domain.
To prove how much he valued talent, this trick was overplayed on Earth, and no one believed in it anymore.
But in the Immortal Realm, it was popular.
Tang Feng thought about it and laughed to himself.
With what he had learned on Earth, he could outwit the North Emperor.
Thinking of this, he felt relaxed.
Seeing his master so relaxed, Long Chengfeng also felt relieved, but he still offered some advice and shared his friend’s information with Tang Feng, who could seek help from that person if in trouble, as he was reliable.
“Chengfeng, you mustn’t be careless.
Those who attacked us on the way have not yet shown themselves,” said Tang Feng.
“Do not worry, Master, I have already made arrangements,” responded Long Chengfeng.
“In that case, I do have some manpower.
The Wei Family’s mansion will belong to you, Master.
I will set up a Dan Pavilion there, and you can go straight there if you need people,” Tang Feng said.
“Good, I’ll have someone fix up the place right away.” Long Chengfeng had been considering this idea since taking over the Wei Family’s property.
Now that Tang Feng suggested it, he readily agreed, which also served another purpose.
He would offer it whenever Tang Feng needed.
It was just a piece of land, after all.
After acquiring that land, Tang Feng instantly had a building erected there, quickly becoming a city landmark.
Equipped with lighting, the thirty-story skyscraper couldn’t help but draw attention.
Tang Feng spent some time getting the lights set up properly, then found a hidden spot within the mansion to set up the Transmission Array.
After disappearing into the array, when he reappeared, he was already inside Tang Sect.
Su Keyi sensed something and quickly appeared before Tang Feng.
Seeing him after so long, she couldn’t help but be surprised; his cultivation had grown so much that she could no longer see through him.
“I’m back,” said Su Keyi, who had become the Great Elder of Tang Sect, fulfilling her duties diligently.
Since going back was no longer an option, she was also settling down to assist Tang Feng.
“Has anything important happened in the sect recently?” Tang Feng inquired.
“Nothing major; everything is proceeding according to plan,” Su Keyi replied.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“It’s nothing.
Why didn’t Jing Xian come back with you?”
“She is now the city lord of Desolate Ancient City.
You can visit her when you’re free.”
“Okay.
By the way, the Immortal Stones and medicinal materials are all stored in the sect treasury.
You can check them out yourself.” After saying this, Su Keyi didn’t stay with Tang Feng but went back to her own quarters.
Tang Feng didn’t mind, as this woman had originally been kept by force.
However, in the past few months, he had discovered that Tang Sect’s potential was astonishing.
Now with hundreds of thousands of sect disciples, resources were continuously pouring in daily.
She could assure that in the near future, this sect master would undoubtedly stand above the rest in the Immortal Realm.
This wasn’t an exaggeration but actual potential, a vision she possessed.
The Desolate Ancient City was just the first step for Tang Feng.
True to form, during dinner, Tang Feng told Su Keyi about his plan to move fifty thousand people to Unrivaled City.
“So many people.
I suggest not bringing so many at once,” Su Keyi advised, “It could attract unwanted attention.
Even if we have to move them, it should be slowly, bit by bit.
By the time the moment is right, it will be too late for anyone to intervene.”
“I’ve taken your advice.
After this, we plan to expand.
I’m thinking of having a stronghold in every city, of varying sizes.
Let’s hear your opinion,” said Tang Feng.
“I have no objection to that.
However, we need to consider the impact.
Sometimes, the lower the profile, the greater the effect,” Su Keyi proposed, prompting a nod and a smile from Tang Feng.
Indeed, none of the girls who came out to mix were mediocre.
“Thank you anyway.” Tang Feng didn’t want to elaborate further, keeping thoughts to himself.
“Hmm, I just received a message.
Someone is intending to strike at the City Lord Mansion.
Lin Jingxian is enjoying life in Desolate Ancient City.”
Prior to her tenure in the Master’s presence, she felt somewhat timid, and couldn’t fully enjoy herself.
But now, no one bothers her or controls her.
In the City Lord Mansion, at this moment, truly no one is,” reflected Tang Feng as he saw dozens of snacks laid out before Lin Jingxian, living a life that even Tang Feng envied somewhat.
“Jing Xian, you seem to be in high spirits,” Tang Feng remarked.
Pfft!
Lin Jingxian, who had just sipped a little Spiritual Dew, spit it out—she was somewhat unnerved.
“When did you get back?”
“Just now.
Why?
Did you do something guilty?
Why did you get so scared when you saw me?”
“Come on, anyone would be startled by your sudden appearance, especially when they are lost in enjoyment,” Lin Jingxian laughed.
“I’ve just realized you know how to enjoy life.
You seem to have quite the cozy setup here.”
“Why trouble myself when there’s nothing much to do each day?
Do you want a taste?
I brewed it myself.”
Tang Feng didn’t hold back and took a cup to drink.
“Hey, what’s the rush?
That’s my cup,” Lin Jingxian hurriedly objected.
“Your cup?
I don’t mind,” he retorted.
“Well, I do mind!”
“Now that I’ve drunk from it, what do you want to do about it?” Tang Feng chuckled.
“You, you scoundrel.” She stamped her foot, indicating that there was little else she could do.
It wasn’t as if she could make Tang Feng spit it back out.
Alas, how did I end up with a man like this?
She lamented and then realized something wasn’t right—the chopsticks he had picked up were hers.
“Stop right there.” Lin Jingxian, unable to restrain herself any longer, felt an urge to hit him.
“Master Tang, please spare me,” she thought of his delighted face and felt infuriated.
“Forget about it—who made these dishes?
They taste pretty good.”
“Master Tang, how can you not mind using my leftovers at all?” Lin Jingxian couldn’t understand.
“What’s there to mind?
I think it’s fine.
In fact, the more I eat, the better it tastes.”
Lin Jingxian realized she was being teased and chose not to say more.
She knew arguing was pointless and would only cause her to lose face even more.
“I hope it chokes you,” she muttered.
“Would you really want that?
After all, we do share a close relationship now,” Tang Feng teased with a smile.
“Tch, close relationship my foot.
Don’t even think about it.
I won’t make things easy for you.
Anyway, let’s drop this pointless banter.
Someone’s got their eyes on this place.
We need to come up with a foolproof plan quickly.”
“If someone comes, just crush them.
Didn’t I give you ten thousand troops to command?
Isn’t that enough?”
“The one coming is an Immortal King; even a hundred thousand wouldn’t be enough.
Although he tried to break through twice and didn’t succeed, I fear something bigger is brewing.
That’s why I was discussing it with Su Keyi before you came back—I feel more relieved now,” Lin Jingxian explained.
“Did you find out who they were?”
“No idea—they appeared suddenly, with five of them, and they seem quite determined,” Lin Xian said.
“Could it be they heard some rumors?
For an Immortal King to visit a small city like Desolate Ancient City is indeed quite rare,” Tang Feng noted.
“There’s something else—Su Keyi might or might not have told you about this, but there have been rumors recently that a Small Secret Realm appeared in Desolate Ancient, housing a mutated beast.
It’s certainly no ordinary creature.”
Tang Feng immediately showed interest.
“Has that place been secured?”
“Of course.
How could we let others beat us to such treasures?” Lin Jingxian laughed.
