The Imperial Evil Lord has left.
He is going back to the Ashless Sea for a short period of seclusion.
As Xie Feng was about to leave, he remembered Xiangxiang; he had almost forgotten about the little girl.
He then turned back to the Gu Xuan City.
After Xiangxiang came to find Xie Feng and devoured the Dao of Illusion, the two encountered Cong Yun and arrived at Gu Xuan City.
The little girl eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats.
When Xie Feng found her, she was still fast asleep in her room.
They woke the little girl up, and the two went back together.
Upon entering Eastern Dawn Valley, Xie Feng felt that something was amiss.
The valley, usually quiet and secluded, was now filled with wisps of smoke from cooking fires and the sounds of laughter and conversation drifting from the highest peak, enveloping the ancient valley.
It's gained a bit more popularity!
The two arrived at the foot of the highest peak, where a dozen demon soldiers were patrolling. Upon seeing Xie Feng, they all clasped their hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Xie."
Xie Feng stepped into the Xuanji Sect, where many people were already waiting to greet him.
The leader was Sushang, flanked by Yue Heng, Tao Xue, and Yu Qingzhu. Behind them stood Gu Yuan, Leng Hanyu, Chi Ling, and the Seven Heroes: Shuangyan Yan, Ziyun, Ye Qiu, Huo Xiaoyan Chu Tianjun, Chu Tianjun, Bai Mo, Liuyi.
Wow.
Apart from Imperial Evil Lord and Lu Yinjian, almost all the core figures of the Imperial Evil Realm have come!
"Wow, so grand?" Xie Feng laughed.
"You came so fast! I just told you not long ago! Brother Gu and the others just arrived too. We gathered together because we sensed your presence as you entered Eastern Dawn Valley."
Sushang's almond-shaped eyes flashed.
Xie Feng winked at her, "Someone wants me to go back quickly, so of course I have to hurry."
Sushang with a smile.
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said casually, " Old Lu and the Imperial Evil Lord have gone into seclusion. Before Old Lu went into seclusion, he said he would hand over the power of the Imperial Evil Realm to you, so we came to the Xuanji Sect to wait for you."
"Give me control of the Imperial Evil Realm?"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and said with a wry smile, "They really trust me..."
Gu Yuan scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Putting aside the fact that you're now one of our three great Evil King, just considering your relationship with the Devil Emperor, who else would we trust if not you!"
Xie Feng: "..."
That statement seems to make sense, doesn't it?
Xie Feng reluctantly agreed, Gu Yuan immediately said to those around him, "What are you all standing there for? The Evil King is here, it's time to report!"
"Your Majesty the Evil King! Cough cough..."
Ziyun, one of the Seven Heroes, stepped forward first. He cleared his throat, preparing to launch into a long speech.
"According to the latest intelligence, the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race has been wiped out. Because of the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' the neighboring Kui Emperor White Crow Clan has recruited soldiers several times in just a few days. To date, this is the seventh time they have recruited soldiers!"
"What we've learned is that among the men, women, and children of the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan, those with relatively strong cultivation levels are either private soldiers or have joined the regular army."
These people are all cultivators; in the world of the Origin Realm, very few people are not skilled in using Origin Power.
Therefore, "waste" in other contexts may refer to cultivators with very low cultivation levels.
In the Origin Realm, if someone is called a piece of trash, then they are utterly useless, having had their cultivation destroyed.
Ziyun continued, "Not only that, Cheng Hao also extensively absorbed the surrounding small and medium-sized forces and races, and built many towers for forging weapons within his clan, which they called the Earth Devil Tower!"
" Evil King, I believe that once these Earth Devil Tower are fully completed, they will provide the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan with a continuous supply of weapons, posing a threat to us that cannot be ignored!"
Xie Feng nodded.
He glanced at the crowd. "Does anyone else have something to say?"
After a brief exchange of polite refusals Chi Ling and Leng Hanyu, Chi Ling spoke up, " The Anti-Imperial Evil Realm Alliance has expanded, and many branch alliances are now daring to confront the Imperial Evil Realm -on. The day before yesterday, we captured some alliance members, almost all of whom are loyal to Gu Xinglan!"
Leng Hanyu continued, "Speaking of this person, she hasn't appeared for quite some time, and Gu Yu is also nowhere to be found."
"I have a general understanding of what you have said. Now, we have four things to do. First, Cheng Hao's large-scale actions must indicate the urgency of the situation and his foresight."
"We can put his recruitment of soldiers aside for now. The most important thing is the Earth Devil Tower that the entire clan is building. Normally, building a tower takes a bit more time, but with Cheng Hao, it was done in an extremely short time!"
"This points to something: there must be something fishy about these Earth Devil Tower! I'm quite interested in them, so I'd like to go with Xiao Shang to check out the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan!"
Xie Feng's gaze was deep, and he smiled slightly.
Sushang's eyes lit up. "Wow, I can go out now? To be honest, staying in the Xuanji Sect all the time is fulfilling, but it gets a bit boring after a while."
Xie Feng smiled and said, "So I'm taking you out for a walk."
Sushang's joy was palpable. She was naturally lively, and although she had become more composed and elegant with the passage of time, deep down she was still the same innocent, lively, and cheerful little girl she had been back then.
Things should be discussed one by one.
Then, Xie Feng continued, "The second thing is that since Gu Xinglan and Cheng Hao have established the Anti-Imperial Evil Realm Alliance, we should also do the same to them and establish our own alliance!"
"First, we need to win over powerful forces and talented individuals. I'll entrust this task to Yue Heng, Brother Gu, and Chi Ling. What do you three think?"
"No problem!"
Yue Heng and the others nodded.
The three men, one calm and the other extroverted, all held high positions, were eloquent and persuasive, and possessed considerable networks of connections.
Especially Yue Heng, although the Longevity Domain is currently neutral and does not interfere in the war between the two sides, as the former domain lord of the Longevity Domain, he must have unique resources, which may bring unexpected surprises to the Xuanji Sect!
"Third, find the Gu Yu! This matter will be entrusted to..." Xie Feng stroked his chin, looking up at the group in front of him.
Yu Qingzhu said, "I'll go."
Xiangxiang also raised her hand and volunteered, "I want to go too!"
Xie Feng agreed.
They are both very strong, especially Xiangxiang, who is practically invincible in the Origin Realm.
Although Xie Feng did not allow her to use her full power, the energy of the Long-lasting Eternal Grass Pill and the pressure emanating from her were still terrifying.
Moreover, Yu Qingzhu is an adult, so she can take care of Xiangxiang, a five-year-old girl, on the way.
"The last thing is to discuss how to deal with the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan in advance. My idea is to stockpile grain, build high walls, and recruit more Alchemist, array masters, and blacksmiths to stockpile pills, Formation, and weapons! I'll leave this matter to Leng Hanyu and the Seven Heroes. What do you think?"
Xie Feng inquired.
Everyone clasped their hands in unison. "We will definitely complete the mission!"
At this moment, Tao Xue, who had been silent for a while, spoke up, "Brother, what am I doing?"
Xie Feng smiled and said, "In the future, the Xuanji Sect will likely become a battlefield, so I'll have to trouble you to guard our Xuanji Sect."
