The four were stunned upon hearing this.
Was there such a problem? Why did he need to know the cultivation realm of Immortal Emperor Can Ye?
Did he intend to fight Immortal Emperor Can Ye?
The four were speechless, but they couldn't truthfully answer this question. Although Immortal Emperor Can Ye was an Immortal Emperor from their sect, they truly had no idea about his cultivation realm.
They wanted to casually state a realm to trick Xia Feng, but they were afraid Xia Feng would make them swear by the Heavenly Dao, and they couldn't lie about that.
"I cannot answer this question. The cultivation realms of Immortal Emperors are beyond our comprehension. Even though Immortal Emperor Can Ye is my junior brother, I have never inquired about his realm."
This was answered by Lei Zhenghao, as he was Immortal Emperor Can Ye's senior brother.
Xia Feng hadn't expected to get an answer anyway; he was just trying his luck.
"In that case, there's nothing I can do. You haven't given me the answer I wanted," Xia Feng shook his head.
"It's not that we refuse to answer, it's that we can't. Please ask another question," Liao Kai suggested that Xia Feng change his question.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to answer questions they could answer.
"This is the only thing I'm interested in. If you can't answer, then there's nothing to be done," Xia Feng spread his hands, looking very helpless.
Liao Kai and Shen You both turned their gazes to Lei Zhenghao, attempting to inquire about his communication with Immortal Emperor Can Ye.
Lei Zhenghao subtly shook his head.
Upon receiving Lei Zhenghao's reply, they had to continue chatting with Xia Feng to stall him.
"Xia Feng, your strength is already at the late stage of Immortal Venerable, and you are a ninth-grade alchemist. Not only can you not find anyone like you on the Dark Void Continent, but your talent is also top-tier across all four continents. Why don't you join our Can Ye Sect? We guarantee your breakthrough to Immortal Emperor."
Shen You initiated a new round of tactics, preparing to find another way to chat with Xia Feng.
"Really?" Xia Feng asked with feigned surprise.
"Of course, it's true," Shen You nodded emphatically.
"Then why haven't you become Immortal Emperors?" Xia Feng retorted.
Shen You: ...
Was this the time to discuss whether they had become Immortal Emperors?
Didn't Immortal Emperor Can Ye emerge from their sect?
Becoming an Immortal Emperor wasn't something you could achieve just by wanting to; the most crucial factors were talent and opportunity. Who the hell possessed such talent and opportunity?
"Xia Feng, I'm talking to you seriously. Our Can Ye Sect has produced an Immortal Emperor, hasn't it? That's undeniable. As long as you join our sect, we will invite Immortal Emperor Can Ye to personally guide you. Once you break through to Immortal Emperor, we will hand over the Nai Wei Grass to you."
Shen You felt speechless seeing how difficult Xia Feng was to deal with.
"It's the same whether the Nai Wei Grass is with me. You just need to have Immortal Emperor Can Ye teach me," Xia Feng said with a smile.
Shen You: ...
Liao Kai: ...
Was Xia Feng's mind too sharp, or were they too foolish?
At this moment, Lei Zhenghao let out a long sigh and nodded at the other three.
"Aha... Xia Feng, today is your death anniversary."
Shen You, who had been earnestly persuading him moments ago, suddenly roared, reverting to his usual gallant demeanor, no longer begging Xia Feng like a dog.
Xia Feng's lips twitched. It was tiring to act with these four idiots.
The national young master's mind was much better than theirs. He couldn't understand how people like them had cultivated to the early stage of Immortal Venerable.
"Is that so?" Xia Feng asked with a smile.
"Xia Feng, you dare to trespass into our Can Ye Sect and steal our Nai Wei Grass. Even though you possess the strength of a late-stage Immortal Venerable, you cannot escape death today. Our Can Ye Sect is not a place you can enter and leave as you please."
Lei Zhenghao spoke with full confidence.
"When will Immortal Emperor Can Ye arrive?" Xia Feng asked, not taking Lei Zhenghao's words seriously.
Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenghao's expression changed slightly.
This kid knew all along?
Then why hadn't he left yet?
Could it be that he was waiting for Immortal Emperor Can Ye to arrive?
This sudden thought startled Lei Zhenghao himself.
What was going on?
"What do you mean by that?" Lei Zhenghao forced himself to suppress his startled expression and looked at Xia Feng as he asked.
He wanted to know what Xia Feng meant by his words.
As the saying goes, speak of the devil, Xia Feng slowly said, "I asked you when Immortal Emperor Can Ye would arrive. I'm tired of playing along with you for so long."
Whoosh...
At this moment, the expressions of the four changed drastically again.
Xia Feng had known all along that Lei Zhenghao was communicating with Immortal Emperor Can Ye, and he had deliberately pretended to be unaware, playing along with them.
Was Xia Feng also waiting for Immortal Emperor Can Ye?
Why was that?
The key was that the four of them had acted like fools, painstakingly persuading him, while in Xia Feng's eyes, it was probably just fools talking nonsense.
"You knew all along that we were deliberately stalling for time. Why? Aren't you afraid of Immortal Emperor Can Ye?"
Shen You couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question he desperately wanted to know the answer to.
"Because I want to test the skills of an Immortal Emperor. If you hadn't notified him, how would I have found Immortal Emperor Can Ye's trace?"
Xia Feng dropped his pretense and revealed his hand.
He simply wanted to have a great battle with Immortal Emperor Can Ye.
Crazy...
This was the thought that simultaneously flashed in the minds of the four.
What else could this be if not madness?
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. We'll wait with you." Lei Zhenghao said and immediately sat down on a stone stool.
Since the truth was out, they might as well wait together.
"Senior Brother."
A voice that pierced the heavens resounded from outside, directly penetrating the thick stone door. The four people from the Can Ye Sect's expressions lit up with joy upon hearing it.
He had finally arrived.
Lei Zhenghao waved his hand, and the stone door opened automatically.
The four faces were filled with excitement.
Xia Feng narrowed his eyes. Immortal Emperor Can Ye had only sent a phantom image; his true body hadn't even come.
What did this mean?
Was he looking down on him?
Or was his body tied up elsewhere?
Xia Feng ignored the surprised expressions of the four and strode out.
In the sky, a phantom image stood proudly, clad in white robes, with flowing hair, holding a fan and fanning himself, appearing like a graceful young master.
Xia Feng felt that Immortal Emperor Can Ye had a much higher presence than him.
His entrance was so spectacular; he wondered about his strength.
It was a pity his true body hadn't come, so he couldn't gauge his cultivation.
"Greetings, Immortal Emperor." The four joyfully emerged from the secret chamber and bowed to Immortal Emperor Can Ye.
"Senior Brother, there's no need for such formalities," Immortal Emperor Can Ye said softly to Lei Zhenghao, then his gaze sharply fell upon Xia Feng, carrying a clear warning, and he slowly spoke:
"Leave the Nai Wei Grass, and I will spare your life."
Xia Feng smiled, crossed his arms, and said, "You don't even dare to come in person. What right do you have to make me leave the Nai Wei Grass?"
Awesome.
The four people from the Can Ye Sect inwardly gave Xia Feng a thumbs-up.
You are the first person to be so arrogant in the presence of an Immortal Emperor. No wonder you had the guts to come to the Can Ye Sect to steal the Nai Wei Grass. For this courage alone, the four of them were impressed.
Immortal Emperor Can Ye was not angry; he calmly said, "Are you seeking death?" Great Wind Novel Network
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've truly fought. I'll wait for you here," Xia Feng nodded slightly, his aura no weaker.
Upon hearing this, Immortal Emperor Can Ye closed his fan, and then his phantom image dissipated into the air, leaving behind a faint sentence:
"Await your death."
