"What the heck? Weren't they fighting? How did they end up chatting?"
They seemed to be chatting as if they'd known each other for ages!
" Xu Fei, go and eavesdrop on what they're talking about!"
"I think the two of them should become sworn brothers!"
"Bullshit! I clearly saw the teacher was about to lose her temper!"
In the distance, Gu Yu and the others hid together to watch the commotion.
After all, even if they wanted to participate in a battle of this level, they would be powerless to do so.
They've already started watching the spectacle.
However, Yao Cang was right; Xie Feng was indeed nearing his breaking point!
"So, you still want to target Emperor Rainbow?"
"No!"
Eastern Star Emperor shook his head in surprise.
He turned to look at the fierce-looking Little Nine beside him and said very seriously:
"This guy is very strong. If we want to obtain the Emperor's throne, we must eliminate him first, but... I'm not entirely confident yet. However, Xie Feng, there's always tomorrow, until we meet again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly took two steps back and vanished in a flash of starlight.
Extremely fast!
This shows that he was also afraid that if he started even a little later, he wouldn't be able to finish!
Because he caught a glimpse of another battlefield out of the corner of his eye.
Xie Ling fought three heroes!
The battle was uneventful, even tedious, fleeting, and utterly swift...
With a single strike, the Approaching Winter Sword ended the reign of Nether Emperor.
He struck again.
Then the Soul General, Ba Yi, also died.
"You... you are the Great Emperor?!"
At this moment, the last remaining Soul General, Feng Ao, finally realized the seriousness of the situation. His expression changed from fierce to surprised, and finally to fear!
Xie Ling wiped his sword with his hand and sneered, "Do you think you'll only understand after a few people die?"
Feng Ao trembled violently, and without any hesitation, he turned and ran.
If not now, when?
Everyone is terrified of death when faced with the prospect of survival!
Xie Ling raised his arm, holding the sword, as if to throw it, preparing to stab Feng Ao to death like a javelin.
" Sister Ling, capture him alive!"
Seeing this, Xie Feng quickly spoke up.
Xie Ling nodded slightly, his mind racing, and the Approaching Winter Sword disappeared on its own.
She took a step forward.
The next second!
He appeared directly behind Feng Ao, and his fingers were gripping the back of Feng Ao's neck!
The seemingly light grab instantly rendered Feng Ao as still as a dead deer!
Xie Ling narrowed his eyes, used his hand as a knife, raised it and slashed, Feng Ao instantly collapsed limply to the ground.
Xie Ling grabbed him and tossed him like an old ox in front of Xie Feng and the others.
Xie Feng said, "Put the Gu Yu away!"
"Okay!"
As Gu Yu spoke, he took out a spatial ring and put Feng Ao inside.
"Alright, that's a relief. We can head back to Lingnan City now!"
Xie Feng clapped his hands, looked around at everyone, and smiled happily.
They returned to Lingnan City.
Upon entering the main city, a woman in red was chatting animatedly with Yao Zhi and Zang Tian.
This woman in red was none other than Huan Ling'er, one of the three great protectors under the Northern Spirit Emperor.
"Young Master Xie, your legendary deeds have spread throughout the Sixth Universe! Congratulations!"
Yao Zhi smiled happily.
Ever since Yao Cang became Xie Feng's student, she has had a very good impression of Xie Feng.
Furthermore, their subsequent assistance in the Demon-Burying Clan against enemies and Demon-Burying Clan in Lingnan City the Sixth Universe gave them the feeling of being treated like half a son.
Zang Tian smiled and nodded at him.
"Young Master Xie, let me introduce you. This is my good friend! We're going on a spring outing together tomorrow. If you need anything from her, please remember she won't be here! I hope you understand!"
Huan Yan'er draped her arm over Yao Zhi's shoulder and grinned broadly.
Xie Feng laughed heartily, "Good, good sister! Come, Little Cang, greet your aunt!"
He turned and called to Yao Cang.
Yao Cang sudden social anxiety, Yao Cang was still pushed out by Gu Yu.
Huan Yan'er widened her eyes, squatted down dramatically, and touched the little guy's head with her slender, delicate fingers.
"What an adorable child! I think I've seen you before, so you're Sister Zhi's child! How about you call me your aunt?"
Huan Yan'er's smile was radiant.
Yao Cang nodded, feeling dizzy.
Huan Yan'er took out a spatial ring and gave it to him; the ring contained various gold and silver jewels!
Consider it a small gift when we meet!
"This child is so bewitched by beauty that he's completely lost his bearings. Be careful he doesn't get sold out and then count the money for the seller! Hahahaha!"
Gu Yu slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, looking smug.
Xu Fei muttered under her breath, "Our Sister Ling is clearly prettier! Kids are just kids, they have no taste!"
Gu Yu said, "Don't say that. Beautiful women are all unique. Sister Ling is noble and aloof, the Protector is charming and alluring—they are rare gems... Oh dear!!"
Before he could finish saying the word "pin", he was hit on the back of the head.
He turned his head and saw Xie Ling's icy face, instantly pleading, " Sister Ling, I was wrong, I'll never talk about you behind your back again!"
Xie Ling snorted and said expressionlessly, "That was a good compliment, why don't you continue?"
Gu Yu chuckled and said, "I'm done praising you..."
After the family acquaintances were confirmed, Yao Cang went to the side to count his gifts, while Gu Yu, Xu Fei, and Little Nine rushed forward, eager to see them.
"By the way, I've come with important business, Young Master Xie," Huan Yan'er turned to Xie Feng, her expression gradually becoming serious, " The Spirit Emperor wishes to see you!"
How is his health?
"Well..."
A sigh, no further questions are needed, everything is contained in that sigh!
Xie Feng and Huan Yan'er went to the Spirit Emperor Palace together. Upon entering the palace gate, the world was solemn and dignified, with white banners fluttering in the air. People came and went in a flurry of activity, and faint sounds of sorrow could be heard from the inner palace.
All of this foreshadows...
Spirit Emperor has fallen!
"It's over! We're too late!" Huan Yan'er's expression changed drastically, and her heart skipped a beat!
Xie Feng's expression also changed slightly; this was truly the unpredictability of life!
Just a few days ago, he was confiding in someone, but when he returned a few days later, that person was gone!
A great emperor passed away peacefully.
"When did you go to Lingnan City?" Xie Feng asked.
"Two or two days ago!"
"It seems the Spirit Emperor perished yesterday! Otherwise, a day or two would have been enough time to reach Lingnan City and inform you of this news, but you haven't received any signal..."
"Young Master Xie, there's one more thing I think you already know!"
Huan Yan'er's expression turned serious and earnest.
Xie Feng asked, "What?"
Huan Yan'er said, "Before his death, Spirit Emperor Ling had already made all his arrangements! He personally told us that his successor was you, who had become the first among the Four Emperors! He always believed that you were the person in the North with the greatest potential to become an emperor!"
"Thank you, young master!"
At that moment, a group of people rushed over and immediately knelt down on the ground!
The leader was another protector, Xiao Mo!
He presented a white jade box, saying, " Spirit Emperor Ling instructed that if he were to perish, Young Master Xie would immediately succeed him, without fail! Please accept the imperial seal!"
