Xie Feng chatted with Sushang for a while. Sushang wanted to continue refining pills so that she could store them up for future use.
Xie Feng had intended to practice alchemy with her when Gu Yu came in and said that Tao Xue and Imperial Evil Lord had come to visit.
Because Tao Xue had previously come to the Xuanji Sect to find Yue Heng, Gu Yu knew her, and as for Imperial Evil Lord, she was no stranger to him either.
Xie Feng left the Alchemy Chamber and had Gu Yu welcome the two of them in.
"Brother Xie, long time no see!"
Upon seeing him, Tao Xue smiled brightly and was about to pounce on him like a bear.
Xie Feng dodged to the side.
Tao Xue missed her target and spread her hands regretfully. "Brother Xie, you're really disrespecting me. What could I possibly do to you? I was just a little excited..."
Xie Feng coughed and said, "With your large frame, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid I'll be crushed to death!
Tao Xue: "..."
The Imperial Evil Lord laughed heartily, "Haha, how interesting."
Xie Feng said, "What brings you two here? If it's official business, let's move to the main hall; if it's private, let's go to this scenic spot."
Tao Xue: "Private matter!"
Imperial Evil Lord: "Official business!"
They both said it at the same time, and then they looked at each other.
Tao Xue said, "I'll go first!"
The Imperial Evil Lord said, "I'll speak first!"
Xie Feng waved his hand. "One at a time, we're all good friends, don't argue. Tao Xue, you go first."
"Damn, you've forgotten your friends for the sake of beauty!" The Imperial Evil Lord couldn't hold back any longer.
"Thank you for complimenting my looks!" Tao Xue said with a pleased expression.
She's lived her whole life and has never been praised by anyone!
This is the first time!
The Imperial Evil Lord: "..."
Tao Xue waved her arm and said, "Forget it, we're old friends, you go first!"
The Imperial Evil Lord snorted, "I don't argue with women."
Tao Xue pouted. "I'm not going to argue with a man!"
Xie Feng said, " Tao Xue, you speak."
He wanted to resolve his personal matters first before discussing business, since it sounded like business was more important!
Tao Xue raised her snow-white arm and said casually, "Hey, it's nothing much. I've just been fighting all this time and I'm tired. I wanted to find a place to rest. Your Xuanji Sect is nice. I've been here once before and I'm quite familiar with it. Thanks, brother. Can I stay here for a few days?"
Xie Feng laughed and said, "Of course! We're like family!"
Tao Xue chuckled.
Then, Xie Feng said seriously, "However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to stay here, you have to agree to one condition."
What are the conditions?
" Ancestor Muyun, who ranks third on the Heavenly Ranking, must be a highly skilled cultivator. He needs to help me teach my disciples! If you keep teaching, you can stay here indefinitely."
"They really know how to do business..."
Tao Xue was both amused and exasperated, but she didn't mind. After all, Xie Feng was absolutely right: you reap what you sow!
She agreed.
Xie Feng nodded. "We're old friends, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Tao Xue said, "Someone like me has seen everything, I don't care about those kinds of treatments, how about a friend's price!"
Imperial Evil Lord, who had been listening to their conversation, couldn't help but say, " Tao Xue, since that's the case, you might as well stay in the Xuanji Sect. It's peaceful and undisturbed here, which is quite nice!"
Tao Xue's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded. "That makes sense, Brother Xie. Do you want me to stay?"
"I couldn't ask for more!"
Xie Feng smiled brightly. To have the third-ranked Ancestor Muyun on the Heavenly Ranking stay in the Xuanji Sect, his influence, both in terms of his physical presence and his reputation, is considerable!
Tao Xue agreed without hesitation.
Following Yue Heng, the Xuanji Sect has gained another heavyweight elder!
Xie Feng summoned Gu Yu and, together with Tao Xue, handled various matters. As a formal sect, Xuanji Sect also had a proper procedure for elders to enter the sect!
After Tao Xue left, Xie Feng turned his gaze to Imperial Evil Lord, "Your turn, friend."
Upon hearing Xie Feng call him a friend, the Imperial Evil Lord laughed heartily, "I have a lot to say, brother. Why don't we find a quiet place and have a good talk?"
"Alright!"
Xie Feng then led him to the sect leader's courtyard.
The two sat facing each other at a stone table in the courtyard, where a sturdy maple tree spread its lush leaves, casting delicate shadows of maple leaves.
Xie Feng, carrying a white porcelain teapot, poured two cups of tea. Imperial Evil Lord joked, "Being with you is like drinking tea; it makes my whole soul feel light. Being with Old Lu is like drinking alcohol, getting drunk, which I don't really like."
Xie Feng said, "You drink even though you don't like it, and you fight even though you don't like it. You're so awkward."
The Imperial Evil Lord smiled calmly, then leaned closer to Xie Feng and said mysteriously, "Actually, within the Imperial Evil Realm, I am essentially another form of his destiny. He's responsible for planning, and I'm responsible for killing. My own thoughts are limited, do you believe me?"
Xie Feng scrutinized him for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly. After a long pause, he nodded earnestly. "If I say I believe you, do you believe me?"
"Letter!"
"Then I believe it too!"
"Ha ha."
The Imperial Evil Lord chuckled softly.
Xie Feng took a sip of tea and casually said, "Now we can talk about business, shall we?"
The Imperial Evil Lord said, "You know about the Anti-Imperial Evil Realm Alliance, right? They've set up many branch alliances in the Origin Realm, affecting not only the Imperial Evil Realm but the entire Devil Race. These people have caused widespread panic and conflict in the Origin Realm."
"Today, Ziyun was leading a patrol when they were attacked by a group of members from a branch alliance. Ziyun was injured and is still in bed. Moreover, according to my intelligence, another group of members from a branch alliance is planning to attack the Xuanji Sect."
"After hearing this news, I rushed over to inform you. Be careful in the days to come, especially increase patrols. I will send some demon troops from the Imperial Evil Realm to guard the area!"
Hearing this, Xie Feng said, "Okay, I understand."
"Brother Xie, I know you have Chaos Physique, which is extremely rare in the Origin Realm, or rather, the Third Universe." The Imperial Evil Lord stared at him, suddenly showing concern for his physique.
"You are Chaos Physique, Lu Yinjian also possesses Chaos Qi. He might also be a deeply hidden Chaos Physique. The unique is what makes it rare; there are already three like this," Xie Feng said.
"Don't you find it strange? As the leader of the Devil Race, he doesn't possess a demonic body, but rather Chaos Physique imbued with light!"
Do you think the Devil Race is not honorable?
"Your light is different from our light. As I understand it, darkness is Eternity! So much evil is hidden beneath the light. I don't understand why you humans regard it as the ultimate truth!"
The Imperial Evil Lord smiled slightly.
"You've gone off-topic," Xie Feng reminded him.
"I rarely see Chaos Physique, and besides, Brother Xie, we're quite familiar with each other. There's something I'd like you to see."
Imperial Evil Lord spoke, he took out an item and handed it to Xie Feng.
It was a thin silver chain with a small blue square pendant hanging from the end.
The blue of the small square brand is a deep blue, like the water at the bottom of the sea. When tilted slightly, it shimmers with iridescent ripples in the sunlight!
