The Dust Clan's Emperor City is a vast region, the most prosperous area of the entire clan, with numerous buildings and bustling traffic. Even in this unstable period, it can maintain a facade of prosperity.
Many merchants, powerful figures, and young talents gather here, making this place a hub of talent, far surpassing other places.
In the center of the Emperor City stands a magnificent building, with palaces stretching as far as the eye can see; this is the imperial palace.
Gu Xuan and Xie Feng entered the palace. As they walked, a graceful figure stood quietly beneath the inner city gate. Her hair swayed in the breeze, yet she remained motionless, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
The two stepped forward, and the woman followed. She wore a purple gown and an imperial crown. She was cold and beautiful, with sharp eyes and a ruthless, aggressive kind of beauty.
"Chieftain!"
Upon seeing her, Gu Xuan performed a deep bow and greeted her respectfully.
The clan chief raised his hand in a gesture of respect. "There's no need for such formalities between us."
Gu Xuan straightened up and smiled slightly. He was the clan chief's cousin, and in private, he had to call her "cousin sister."
"Clan leader, this is the extraordinary talent I mentioned in my previous letter! His name is Xie Feng. Although he is young, he is incredibly powerful..." Gu Xuan praised him effusively.
"You've already said these things in your letter; there's no need to repeat them."
The clan leader spoke calmly, raising her star-like eyes to glance at Xie Feng. After a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly...
because...
She couldn't see through Xie Feng's strength!
Even with her formidable strength at the Fifth Stage of the Dao Lord Realm, she couldn't see through it!
She gazed at Xie Feng, feeling as if she were in a fog, surrounded by Chaos Power and endless flames that blinded her...
This physique... this flame, it's extraordinary...
Could he be the last hope of the Dust Clan?
The clan leader gazed intently with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was unfocused, and her expression was calm, revealing her extremely composed and cautious nature.
"Mr. Xie, may I speak with you in private?" the clan chief asked.
"I don't even know the clan leader's name yet. Would you mind telling me?" Xie Feng smiled.
" Chen Ling!"
As the clan leader spoke, he took two steps forward, and Xie Feng followed. At this moment, the former suddenly turned around and slashed at Xie Feng with a palm!
Its momentum was like clouds, overflowing with surging energy!
With the imposing presence of a tiger, it raises its head and roars proudly through the mountains and forests!
This palm strike shattered space, disrupting the laws of nature and causing a dramatic change in the weather!
Chen Ling's sudden move stunned Gu Xuan, who was standing to the side. It was an unexpected move!
At the same time!
Xie Feng channeled his Dao Power, unleashing a torrent of abilities, and clashed palms with the female clan leader.
Chen Ling's palm strike was broken, but she remained expressionless. With a slight movement of her fingers, an even more surging and fierce energy burst forth.
This time!
It broke through Xie Feng's protective aura!
Her fair, slender fingers touched the latter's neck!
That touch of warmth!
Gu Xuan said that Xie Feng was a genius capable of wielding the Extreme Dao Sword, so Chen Ling wanted to test him.
She's very strong!
Therefore, she could easily get close to Xie Feng!
Chen Ling smiled.
In her mind, she could crush Xie Feng's neck with just the slightest movement of her fingers!
Why not use the Extreme Dao Sword?
Chen Ling glanced at him slightly, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Xie Feng lowered his head slightly and looked at her fingers resting across his neck. Suddenly... he raised his hand, wisps of Northern Nether Illusory Emperor Flame swirling around his fingers.
He easily grabbed Chen Ling's hand and, amidst the raging flames, forced that jade-like hand away from him little by little!
Chen Ling's eyes widened as she stared at the cyan-gold flames swirling around Xie Feng's hand. This fire was incredibly strong! Terrifying!
Emperor Grade fire!
Chen Ling's red lips curved slightly. As her thoughts raced, a vast, ocean-like energy erupted from her body, transforming into a sword that pierced through the rules of heaven and earth, pierced through the Emperor Fire, and stabbed towards Xie Feng!
"Why haven't you used the Extreme Dao Sword yet?!"
Chen Ling asked coldly, "She is Dao Lord Realm, at the third level of the cultivation realm pyramid! A top-tier cultivator!"
She only wanted to witness the splendor of the Extreme Dao Sword, but Xie Feng hesitated to use it!
So stubborn?
Without the Extreme Dao Sword, he could never stop himself!
As a sword flew towards him, Xie Feng moved swiftly, his body becoming like a phantom, his steps ethereal and mysterious. He raised his palm, and a fierce fire dragon roared forth!
A fire dragon formed from the Northern Nether Illusory Emperor Flame!
Azure-gold flames enveloped the heavens and earth, and terrifyingly high temperatures appeared. Buildings, vegetation, and land within a radius of a hundred miles began to rapidly collapse, evaporate, and burn!
boom!!
With a deafening clash, both the fire dragon and the sword were annihilated!
Chen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, chuckled softly, and suddenly stopped her attack.
Seeing this, Xie Feng also put away his Emperor Fire, put his hands behind his back, and showed a warm smile.
He understood that the other person was testing him, so... he knew when to stop...
Chen Ling looked at the domain that had instantly turned into a chaotic mess, then slightly raised his sleeves, and the surging energy transformed into restorative power, restoring Baili Corruption to its original state.
Are you going to fight or destroy the house?
Chen Ling sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Xie Feng shrugged. "Battles are unpredictable and can easily destroy the land. The clan leader should have considered this before testing my true form."
Chen Ling nodded. "I didn't expect you to be so strong."
Xie Feng said, "Having only exchanged two moves, is my true form enough to impress the clan leader?"
"Is that so!"
Chen Ling nodded slightly.
Xie Feng said, "Your strength is formidable. If you go all out, perhaps... you'll witness me unleash the Extreme Dao Sword."
"Are you trying to make me lose half the country?" Chen Ling laughed, then looked at Xie Feng, "You're different from many young people I've met."
What's the difference?
"You are more mature, more composed, and... possess immense potential."
"Many people say that."
"Geniuses are never short of praise."
Chen Ling said.
Xie Feng shrugged; he agreed with that!
"By the way, do you know who the Nether Clan member who fought against me was?" Xie Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Um."
Chen Ling gently touched her fair neck. "Her name is Xuan Mao, the Holy Maiden of the Nether Clan, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, skilled in wielding Twin Swords."
"Two years ago, at only twenty-six years old, her cultivation was already at the Tenth Stage of the Dao God Realm. Now, two years later, with that heaven-defying talent... she has probably already broken through to the Dao Venerable Realm!"
Chen Ling said with deep concern.
This battle is a life-or-death struggle for the Dust Clan; she dares not be careless, nor dare she be optimistic!
Gu Xuan said, "Clan leader, now that we've invited young friend Xie, that Xuan Mao is no match for him!"
"That's true... but I'm only at the Seventh Stage of the Dao God Realm. Don't you guys consider nurturing me?" Xie Feng blinked and smiled.
"..."
Gu Xuan was taken aback.
He hadn't even thought about that!
Xie Feng crossed his arms, trying to make the horse run without feeding it. This kind of shrewd tactic won't work!
Chen Ling nodded and said, "Of course! From now on, you can enter any cultivation tower of the Dust Clan! You can take any Cultivation Resources! The duel between the Dust Clan and the Nether Clan will take place in one month!"
"Good."
Xie Feng nodded.
