The wind at Boundary Breaker Pass carried a lingering stench of blood, yet it also carried the fresh scent of new life.
Qin Feng stood on the cloud, his gaze sweeping over the enormous, yet riddled with holes, Myriad Immortals Formation beneath his feet.
The battle flags were broken, the array patterns were worn away, and the Killing Intent that once seemed capable of strangling even saints was now like a toothless tiger, only letting out a few weak whimpers.
This is the last stubbornness of the Interception Sect, and also the last scar left by the old era.
"There's no point in keeping it."
Qin Feng muttered something softly, his voice low but revealing a profound understanding of the ways of the world.
Tongtian stood aside, his body trembling slightly. Looking at the great formation that had consumed countless efforts of his, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Reluctant to part?
have.
But more than anything, it's a farewell to the past.
Qin Feng ignored the gazes of others, casually raised his right hand, and gently waved his sleeve at the endless, broken formation below.
His movements were as graceful as shooing away a butterfly that had landed on his shoulder.
"Let's call it a day."
Out with the old, in with the new.
The moment the words left his mouth.
The power of Words Manifested into Law was activated once again.
Rumble--
The Myriad Immortals Formation, which even the Four Saints combined would have struggled to break, seemed to obey orders as soldiers, letting out a mournful cry in unison.
Immediately afterwards.
Countless banners disintegrated on their own, transforming into streams of light that danced across the sky.
The remaining array patterns melted away like ice and snow, transforming into the purest Earth Spirit, which suddenly exploded at that moment.
There was no deafening explosion, only a gentle, silent nourishment.
The land of Boundary Breaker Pass, which had been shattered by the great battle, began to heal at a visible speed under the nourishment of this immense spiritual energy.
Withered trees come back to life, and broken streams are revived.
In the blink of an eye, this battlefield, which was just a hellish place, was now covered in blooming flowers.
"This..."
Daoist Duobao's eyes widened as he reached out and caught a falling petal, feeling the vibrant life force within it. His lips trembled, and he was speechless.
Is this the Alliance Leader's method?
Destruction and rebirth are separated by a single thought.
"Alright, stop looking like you've never seen anything like this before."
Qin Feng turned around, dusted off his hands, and looked at Tongtian.
"Father-in-law, now that things are done, shouldn't we go home?"
"This place is completely bare, and I can't even get a cup of hot tea. I'm quite thirsty."
Tongtian snapped back to his senses, and the trace of sadness on his face was immediately replaced by respect.
" The Alliance Leader is right."
" Golden Ao Island has already prepared Nectar and Jade Liquid, awaiting only the arrival of the Alliance Leader."
As he spoke.
With a wave of his hand, Tongtian summoned nine enormous five-clawed golden dragons that pulled an extremely luxurious chariot, which roared out of the void.
The Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage.
This is the top-tier vehicle bestowed by Hongjun when he distributed treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, and it is also the symbol of Tongtian's status as a saint.
Normally, let alone riding in this carriage, even a glimpse of it would require ordinary immortals to kneel and kowtow.
But at this moment.
Tongtian strode to the carriage, personally lifted the curtain embroidered with divine patterns of the Great Dao, bowed slightly, and made a standard "please" gesture.
" Alliance Leader, please take a seat."
This scene.
This once again caused the surrounding Jie Sect Disciple to widen their eyes in astonishment.
Let the cult leader be the driver?
This level of prestige—looking across the entire Primordial World, perhaps only Dao Ancestor Hongjun could enjoy such treatment?
Qin Feng, however, showed absolutely no politeness.
Now that you're the Alliance Leader of Alliance Leader alliance, you need to act like one. If you're hesitant and timid, people will look down on you.
He strode forward, walked straight to the carriage, and plopped down in the main seat, a symbol of supreme power.
She even shifted her position, finding a comfortable way to lean back.
"Hmm, not bad, this cushion is quite comfortable, much better than my rock."
Qin Feng patted the armrest, a satisfied look on his face.
Upon seeing Tongtian, Tongtian's face immediately broke into a wide smile, as if Qin Feng praising the car made him even happier than praising him for achieving sainthood.
" Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, Bixiao."
Tongtian turned his head and looked at his three disciples who were still standing there dumbfounded, his tone becoming more serious.
What are you still standing there for?
" Our Alliance Leader has had a long and arduous journey; how can he be left without anyone to serve him?"
"Aren't you going upstairs to pour tea and water, and give them a shoulder and leg massage?"
Upon hearing this, Sanxiao's pretty face immediately flushed red.
In the past, their master would never have allowed them to do such maid-like work.
But now...
The Three Sisters exchanged a glance, and instead of feeling any resistance, they felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
This is a perfectly legitimate opportunity to be alone with Brother Qin!
"Yes, Master!"
The three women responded in unison, their figures as swift as swallows as they gracefully landed inside the carriage.
Yun Xiao picked up the jade pot from the table, Qiong Xiao peeled a Spiritual Fruit, and Bixiao was the most unceremonious, squeezing directly next to Qin Feng and placing her two small hands on his shoulders, massaging them with just the right amount of force.
" Wudang, Jin Ling."
Tongtian then pointed to these two Saint Mother held the highest positions in the Interception Sect.
"You should go too."
" The Alliance Leader has just assumed power, and there are some trivial matters that need to be handled. You will all stand by and await orders."
Our Holy Mother Wudang and Our Golden Spirit Holy Mother exchanged a glance, a hint of envy flashing in their eyes. They quickly bowed and agreed, then followed suit into the ridiculously spacious carriage.
This series of actions...
Zhao Gongming, watching from below, was almost moved to tears.
"I've wanted that kind of life too!"
"I'd even be willing to go in and be a benchwarmer!"
Duobao kicked him in annoyance.
"What are you thinking? That's the Alliance Leader! Do you have the destiny to be that great?"
"Get your team together quickly! Don't embarrass the Alliance Leader!"
At Duobao's command, more than 40,000 Interception Sect immortals quickly assembled and lined up neatly behind the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage according to their cultivation level.
"Let's go!"
A loud shout Tongtian, its sound shaking the surrounding wilderness.
hold head high--!!!
Nine golden dragons roared in unison, pulling the carriage, laden with both beauty and majesty, into a golden streak of light as it hurtled towards the East Sea.
Behind me.
Ten thousand immortals accompanied him.
The vast procession stretched for tens of thousands of miles, blotting out the sky and the sun. Its imposing presence was comparable to even the ancient demon race's Heavenly Court patrol.
Wherever it passed, the clouds dispersed and mist dissipated, revealing a thousand auspicious wisps of air.
This is hardly a retreat after defeat.
This is clearly a triumphant parade! A declaration of the new king's ascension to the throne!
Above the East China Sea.
The sea, which was already turbulent due to the battle between the saints, was now boiling like a pot of water.
Countless aquatic creatures sensed the terrifying pressure and trembled with fear, yet they couldn't resist their curiosity and surfaced one after another.
Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, along with his Dragon Sons and Grandsons, waited on the sea surface early in the morning.
He gazed at the rolling golden torrent on the horizon, at the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage —a vehicle he had only ever heard of in legends—his old eyes filled with shock and terror.
"That... that's the mount of the Tongtian Saint?"
"My God! Are those the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Interception Sect behind us?"
"Weren't they fighting the Four Saints to the death at Boundary Breaker Pass? How come they've all returned? And their momentum..."
Ao Guang swallowed hard, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
But when his gaze fell upon the carriage, and he saw the young man sitting in the main seat, eating the grapes that Yun Xiao fed him, he realized...
The old Dragon King was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.
"Who... who is that person?!"
" The Tongtian Saint was actually standing to the side... as a guard?!"
"This Primordial World... has changed!"
Ao Guang is not a fool.
The person who can have a sage as his driver and the Three Immortals as his maids is a terrifying existence that he cannot afford to offend, and he would not even dare to dream of.
Without any hesitation.
Ao Guang slammed his head against the sea surface, roaring in a trembling voice:
" Ao Guang, the Little Dragon of the East Sea, leads the aquatic creatures of the East Sea to respectfully welcome Your Majesty!"
"Welcome... Great Heavenly Venerable!"
With this kneeling...
On the vast expanse of the sea, the countless Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, crab generals, Sea Patrol Yaksha, dragons, and giant whales suddenly appeared much smaller.
All the aquatic creatures buried their heads in the water, not daring to even breathe.
That's what prestige is all about.
This is deterrence.
Qin Feng sat in the carriage, looking down through the curtains at the kneeling East Sea Dragon Clan below, a playful smile curving his lips.
"It seems the East Sea Dragon King is quite sensible."
He made a casual comment.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, who was massaging his legs, chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"If the Alliance Leader likes it, we can have our Alliance Leader take over the East Sea Dragon Palace another day and use it as your back garden."
Listen to it.
That's what you call vision.
Although the Interception Sect was domineering in the past, it still had to consider cause and effect.
Now that Qin Feng is her backer, even a dignified female immortal like Golden Spirit Holy Mother has started to speak with a kind of thuggish air, as if to say, "I'll bully you and you'll have to put up with it."
Standing on the carriage shaft, Tongtian heard this and instead of blaming him, he nodded seriously.
That makes sense.
I'll talk to Ao Guang later.
"To be able to serve Alliance Leader's backyard is a blessing for their Dragon Clan."
Qin Feng waved his hand, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Alright, that's enough, don't scare them."
"We are a legitimate immortal alliance, not a bandit's den."
"Although... the nature is similar."
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.
Surrounded by thousands of immortals, the chariot soon came into view the enormous fairy island floating above the azure waves.
Golden Ao Island.
This sacred site, which has carried the fortune of the Interception Sect for billions of years, appears exceptionally holy and solemn under the sunlight.
only.
Unlike in the past.
Today, Golden Ao Island seems to have a touch more... flamboyance?
The island's protective array was fully activated, countless exotic flowers and rare herbs vied for attention, and cranes and mythical beasts circled and danced in the air.
At the very center of the island, above the Biyou Palace that originally belonged to the Tongtian Jiaozhu, an enormous flag had somehow appeared and was now being hung.
On the flag.
Four large, gilded characters were written in a flamboyant, calligraphic style, dazzling the eyes in the sunlight.
[ Goddess Immortal Alliance ]
Next to these four large characters, there is a simple line drawing of a portrait.
Although the lines are simple, the way he puts one hand in his pocket and smiles crookedly is exactly like Qin Feng.
"This..."
Qin Feng pointed at the flag, his lips twitching slightly.
"Who did this?"
Tongtian chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and had a look on his face that seemed to be seeking praise.
" Alliance Leader, I just sent a telepathic message to the Water and Fire Boy who was left behind, asking him to make this overnight."
"How about it? Is it impressive enough?"
"This was made with the finest silkworm silk and imbued with the Magic Power of a sage; it won't fade even after being exposed to wind and rain!"
Seeing Tongtian's "praise me" expression, Qin Feng swallowed back the sarcastic remark that was on the tip of his tongue.
Okay.
It's a bit rustic, though.
But the sentiment behind it is still quite touching.
"Good."
Qin Feng gave a thumbs-up and offered a reluctant compliment.
"Very energetic."
"I'll give the Water and Fire Child a chicken leg later."
The carriage slowly descended.
On Golden Ao Island, the disciples who had already received the news rushed out like madmen.
Cheers, shouts, and cannon salutes instantly engulfed the fairy island.
This day.
Golden Ao Island was renamed by the Qin dynasty.
This day.
The Interception Sect, which countless people predicted was doomed to perish, has, in a way no one could have foreseen, embarked on a new journey under the leadership of this young man...
The era of rogues.
