Once these two essential conditions are met, as long as the person or force is willing, they can basically recruit many disciples. With good fortune, they might even produce a few outstanding talents, making it possible to join a second- or first-rate sect!
Xie Feng was deep in thought.
Xiangxiang tugged at his sleeve. "Big brother, there's no one left. Let's go back. What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Xie Feng shook his head, then took Xiangxiang's little hand and led her back to Gu Xuan City.
"Big brother, hug me!"
Xiangxiang didn't want to leave, so she opened her arms and looked pitiful.
She's just a five-year-old child...
When kids get lazy, it doesn't make any sense at all.
Xie Feng then held her in his arms and headed towards the Gu Xuan City.
A moment later.
Xie Feng landed on a tall building in the Gu Xuan City. He lowered his head slightly and saw Cong Yun and Ze Ling.
The two walked hurriedly, looking around as if searching for something.
Xie Feng knew what they were looking for, so he gently landed Xiangxiang in his arms, lazily raising a hand, "Stop looking, I'm here."
"Sect Master!"
When Ze Ling saw him, her bright eyes blinked, and she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Xie, where have you been? There was a terrifying phenomenon in Gu Xuan City just now, and there are new changes in the Heavenly Ranking. You are now ranked fourth, tied with Lu Yinjian!"
Cong Yun was initially a little worried and even a bit reproachful, but by the end, her tone revealed undisguised joy.
She considered Xie Feng a friend, and she was naturally happy that her friend had achieved such amazing success.
Furthermore, Cong Yun's open affection for Ge Ya, and Xie Feng 'Ge Ya beloved junior brother, her congratulations to Xie Feng were absolutely genuine, without a trace of falsehood!
Xie Feng waved his hand. "Heh, just a routine operation, hehe, nothing to mention, hehehe, you flatter me..."
From the Cong Yun: "..."
It's not worth mentioning, and you're just chuckling more and more...
Is this modesty or a lack of modesty?
Cong Yun's lips twitched, but she wasn't new to Xie Feng, so she found the unusual phenomenon on the Heavenly Ranking to be within acceptable limits.
There's a saying that goes, "What's commonplace is no longer surprising."
Cong Yun lowered his head, his phoenix eyes glancing at Xiangxiang, a smile blooming on his face, "This girl is so cute, Young Master Xie, is she your disciple?"
Xie Feng said, "Friend!"
He'd like to take Taotie from the Fifth Universe as his disciple, but the problem is, the other party might not be willing.
Xiangxiang blinked. "A friendship that transcends age!"
Despite her young age, this girl is quite insightful about many things, as evidenced by her close friendship with someone of a different generation.
Cong Yun smiled and nodded. She could tell that Xiangxiang was extraordinary. Given that Xie Feng was also such a person, it was a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
"Chief!"
At this moment, Dao Hong hurriedly walked in from outside the city gate. His face was serious, and his brows were furrowed in a deep frown.
From Cong Yun's expression, which quickly became serious, she asked, "What is it? Hmm? Why are you out so late?"
Dao Hong first clasped his hands in a salute, then spoke, "Every night I patrol the area within a radius of ten thousand li of Gu Xuan City. Just now, there was a patch of scorched earth eight thousand li outside the city, which seemed to have been burned by a very powerful flame!"
Cong Yun asked, "What did you discover?"
Dao Hong said, "This scorched earth also contains a lot of ashes, human ashes! Moreover, I dare say that these people are from the Dark King Palace, and they are attempting to launch a sneak attack on Gu Xuan City!"
How can you be so sure?
"Please take a look, everyone!"
Dao Hong's face, which was as melancholy as a wrinkled walnut, suddenly relaxed for a moment. He smiled slightly and threw a dark shadow on the ground.
The dark shadow rolled around!
Roll Cong Yun!
Two heads!
Xie Feng took a closer look and almost lost his composure.
These two heads belong to the black-robed elder and the purple-robed elder!
Just now, after Xie Feng spared their lives, they frantically flew towards Gu Xuan City, where they were spotted by Dao Hong on patrol, who promptly killed them...
Dao Hong also found it unbelievable. He had heard of ducks flying away when they were already in his grasp, but it was rare to see a duck walk right into a trap.
Xie Feng: "..."
There's nothing we can do, that's just fate!
Dao Hong, one of the three great dragon kings, is even stronger than Cong Yun, having already reached the Indestructible Saint Lord Second Stage!
The Origin Realm is a very special world, and also one of the channels connecting to other universes.
Previously, there were very few experts at the Indestructible Realm who appeared on the public stage, after all, the real big shots don't show themselves easily!
The highest level a master can reach is to exist as nothingness!
You don't know my name, or where I am, but hey, I'm the one who always steps up in crucial moments, always wandering around!
Another reason is the difference in perspective!
When you're just a small fish in a lake, you're unlikely to see a shark.
When you swim to the vast ocean, all you can see are sharks.
This is climbing the stairs!
Cong Yun calmly said, " The Dark King Palace is also making moves. From now on, strengthen defenses and speed up the process of getting all the people in the city to safety!"
Dao Hong nodded. "Understood!"
When the news reached Hun Wudao that the entire force sent by the Dark King Palace had been wiped out, he nearly fainted.
He went to the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan, filled with rage.
Immortal Yao Island.
Cheng Hao sat on a rock on the shore, head down, sighing deeply.
He was distraught over the destruction of the Dao of Illusion and the black-robed elders of the Dark King Palace.
" The Dao of Illusion died because of Xie Feng, and the deaths of the Dark King Palace members were also due to Xie Feng's Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire. And the destruction of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race and the death of the Dao of Strength —he's involved in all of them! How come this person is everywhere?!"
Cheng Hao gritted his teeth.
He hadn't paid much attention to Xie Feng before, but now he had to take him seriously.
It's not enough to just pay attention; we need to take it very seriously, treat it like a major threat, and eliminate it as soon as possible!
"For a time, I read through ancient books and discovered the commonalities among those who ultimately failed. They had power and influence, but in the end, they still lost."
"A large portion of them die from underestimating their opponents! Excessive arrogance and underestimating the enemy are both undesirable! Xie Feng must be killed as soon as possible!"
" The Dao of Strength and the Dao of Illusion both perished at his hands, because he possessed two Origin Level weapons, a little girl Xiangxiang, and the assistance of those demons from the Imperial Evil Realm..."
While Cheng Hao was deep in thought, Hun Wudao arrived in a menacing manner.
"Hey, you stinking crow! You're the one who caused the annihilation of over seven hundred men from my Dark King Palace! I'll fight you to the death!"
Hun Wudao rushed over, reaching out to strangle Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao's face twitched, and he put one hand to his forehead and stretched out the other. "Stop! Don't get agitated!"
Hun Wudao roared furiously, "Give me an explanation, or I'll strangle you!"
Cheng Hao sighed, "What's the rush? Tell me properly. I just found out about what happened at the Dark King Palace, and I'm very saddened by it too."
"Sad my ass! It's all Gu Xinglan's fault! She used me as cannon fodder! I'm going to strangle you..."
"No, why are you pinching me? Go pinch her!"
"Hmph, you think I'd pinch her? Are you crazy...?"
Hun Wudao muttered to himself.
Although he was angry, he wasn't confused by it.
Cheng Hao's eyelids twitched. "So, you're just going to get angry at me? Have some decency!"
