His gaze was icy as he drew his sword and demanded, "Who are you?! Wait! Are you the Imperial Evil Lord?!"
Gu Yu's expression changed instantly!
Seeing this, the Imperial Evil Lord turned his head and laughed, "Brother Xie, your disciple is too wary; he tried to stop me."
Xie Feng strode up, and upon seeing him, Gu Yu quickly sheathed his sword, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Sect Master!"
"We're family, it's alright."
Xie Feng pointed at the Imperial Evil Lord and smiled calmly.
Gu Yu was one of the most outstanding disciples recruited by Sushang not long ago, and also the strongest disciple specializing in Sword Dao at the Xuanji Sect.
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment.
Xie Feng casually asked, "Why aren't you resting in the middle of the night? Also, these clothes and badges are nice, Elder Sushang made them, right?"
"Disciples on patrol! Oh, these clothes are Sushang uniforms custom-made by Elder Su Shang, and so are the badges!"
"Okay, go and get to work!"
After learning about the new situation, Xie Feng waved his hand.
Gu Yu did not leave. He stared at Imperial Evil Lord and couldn't help but say, "Sect Master, this person is a demon from the Imperial Evil Realm. You must be careful..."
Xie Feng said, "Your vigilance is commendable. However, the Imperial Evil Realm is now a friend of our Xuanji Sect. Alright, go on patrol."
Gu Yu nodded and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Xie Feng couldn't help but sigh, "When this kid first arrived, he was arrogant and unruly, but now he's so humble and polite. Xiao Shang really did a good job disciplining him."
The Imperial Evil Lord's gaze turned serious. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Xie, how did this guy end up under your command?"
Xie Feng was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
The Imperial Evil Lord said, "It seems you still don't know his identity!"
"What is your identity?"
"This kid is from the Devil Subduing Realm; more precisely, he's Gu Xinglan's cousin!"
The Imperial Evil Lord looked serious.
Xie Feng had only just learned of this himself. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Huang Xie, don't be so serious. The Gu Yu being here is a good thing for us too. Oh, someone's coming."
He gazed into the distance, where two figures emerged from the Xuanji Sect and gracefully appeared before them in a few steps.
Sushang!
Yue Heng!
"Brother, you're back! There was a slight fluctuation outside the mountain gate just now, and we sensed it was you, so Sister Yue Heng and I came over."
Sushang smiled, his eyes narrowing.
Seeing her, Xie Feng smiled and said, "I haven't visited Xuanji Sect in a long time. It's all been thanks to you managing it. Thank you for your hard work."
Sushang smiled slightly, and the two began to chat about the recent changes in the Xuanji Sect.
On the other side, Imperial Evil Lord and Yue Heng also began exchanging pleasantries.
For well-known reasons, the Imperial Evil Realm has no allied forces in the Origin Realm.
However, this does not mean that there are no high-ranking members in the Imperial Evil Realm. At the very least, Lu Yinjian and Tao Xue, Imperial Evil Lord and Yue Heng, have a good relationship.
Their personal friendship, however, cannot be compared to the interests of power.
This has created a very strange situation: while the top leaders have a friendly relationship, the two factions are irreconcilable.
There's a saying that goes something like this:
Humans and demons are on different paths!
Yue Heng laughed, "Ever since you found out I wasn't dead, you've all rushed to the Xuanji Sect. Tao Xue came not long ago too; she should be fighting with Lu Yinjian now."
The Imperial Evil Lord's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "You are good friends. As the saying goes, friends are of one mind. Ancestor Muyun is fighting alongside us, so why don't you come over too?"
Yue Heng shook his head. "My strength is insufficient..."
The Imperial Evil Lord stared at her for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, " Indestructible Saint Venerable? When I first met you, you were the strongest in the world. What happened to your cultivation level?!"
Hundreds of years ago, Yue Heng was the first and only Indestructible Saint Lord!
Since her "fall," there has been no more Saint Lords in the world!
Yue Heng said sadly, "It's already lost..."
The Imperial Evil Lord narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If we've lost it, then we'll take it back!"
"Now is not the time! At least, let's wait until that person comes out of seclusion..."
"Yue Heng said softly."
The Imperial Evil Lord understood that she was referring to Ling Quan, the current lord of the Longevity Domain, and upon hearing this, he remained silent.
At this moment, Xie Feng leaned closer, frowning, and asked, "Brother Huang Xie, why does it feel like you're trying to steal my girlfriend? Senior Sister, you can't listen to him!"
The Imperial Evil Lord exclaimed in surprise, "You call her Senior Sister?!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "My master also taught her, so why can't I call her senior sister?"
The Imperial Evil Lord took a deep breath, feeling a sense of shock.
He truly hadn't expected the two of them to have this kind of relationship; no wonder Yue Heng was willing to come to the Xuanji Sect as a minor elder!
When it comes to connections and relationships, he admires no one but Xie Feng!
Xie Feng then said, "Brother Huang Xie, Senior Sister is from the Xuanji Sect. Don't try anything with her. With my and Tao Xue's help, you should be content!"
The Imperial Evil Lord said helplessly, "I understand."
Xie Feng nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly turned to Sushang and asked, " Xiao Shang, I've recently been thinking about cultivating my physical body. Do you have Cultivation Method for that?"
"Have!"
As Sushang spoke, he twisted a spatial ring on his hand, took out an ancient-looking Cultivation Method, and handed it to Xie Feng.
"I found this somewhere online before. I don't know its grade, but after looking at it, I think it's very practical!"
Xie Feng looked down and saw the words " Falling Star Body Technique " written on the cover of the Cultivation Method. It meant that after practicing it, one's body would be like a meteorite and one's energy would be like a star. Not only would one be strong, but one's aura would also be very powerful, like a stone falling to the earth, stirring up thousands of waves!
Looks good!
He happily accepted it, and at the same time took out a rather large white jade bottle.
"This is the Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill, capable of healing flesh and bone, reviving the dead, and possessing extremely powerful restorative abilities. There are sixty pills in this bottle. Take them and use them when needed!"
Xie Feng gave his instructions.
Sushang took it, smiling brightly, and nodded slightly.
"I'm leaving soon to fight alongside the Imperial Evil Realm! At the same time, I need to improve my physical strength to better cope with the difficulties ahead!" Xie Feng said.
"Don't get hurt." Sushang gazed at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes, while reaching out to smooth out his slightly wrinkled collar.
"There are very few people in this world who can hurt me!" Xie Feng smiled proudly.
With the Origin Level Sword in hand, he fears no one!
Before leaving, Xie Feng gave Sushang a communication talisman, instructing her to give it to Gu Yu so that the latter could contact him.
Xie Feng's intention was naturally because of Gu Xinglan. After learning that Gu Yu was her close cousin, Xie Feng had already figured out how to play the Gu Yu card well!
After parting ways with Sushang and Yue Heng, Xie Feng and his companion went to the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race to find Lu Yinjian.
When they found it, Lu Yinjian had also captured a place called Medicine City. This city was deep inland and was an important city for transporting medicinal herbs. Taking it would definitely give its chieftain Si Ming, a lot of headaches!
At this moment, the city is in an uproar.
Victory celebration banquet!
Victory celebration wine!
What a lively scene!
