Northern Spirit Emperor has fallen.
Xie Feng succeeded to the throne, becoming the new Northern Spirit Emperor.
These two events shocked Sixth Universe. As a former bigwig, many people naturally came to pay their respects and congratulate the new emperor.
Although...
Putting these two things together feels a bit strange...
Northern Spirit Emperor's move was intended to ensure a seamless succession to the throne, so that those with ulterior motives in the north would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Moreover, Xie Feng's attainment of the top position among the four emperors in Heavenly World City has intimidated those people to some extent, so no one dares to make any rash moves for the time being.
All the major sects sent people over.
Inside and outside the Spirit Emperor Palace, people thronged and bustled about, making the Spirit Emperor Palace more lively than ever before.
Similarly, when there are too many people, things can easily get chaotic.
According to northern custom, the mourning period should last at least three days. They had only been there for half a day when countless trivial disputes arose.
To avoid excessive chaos, Xie Ling volunteered to maintain order.
With her in charge, the Spirit Emperor Palace instantly became quiet, even in broad daylight, it was completely silent!
That evening.
Xie Feng summoned all his trusted confidants for a meeting under the moonlight.
Those present were Xie Ling, Gu Yu, Little Nine, Yao Cang, Xu Fei, Yao Zhi, Zang Tian Yao Zhi, Leng Handao, Xiao Mo, and Huan Yan'er.
"As you've all seen, today is only the first day, and hundreds of sects have already arrived. According to our information, those prominent forces will also be here tomorrow morning. Sister Ling, we'll need to ask you to maintain order. If we're short-handed, we can request reinforcements from the Spirit Emperor Palace or Yao Zhi Zang Tian!"
Xie Feng turned his gaze to Xie Ling, his tone calm and gentle.
Xie Ling winked at him. "No problem!"
"There's one more thing I have to tell you..." Xie Feng's expression turned slightly serious.
Huan Yan'er asked first, "Wait, can our little hearts handle this?"
Xie Feng smirked and spread his hands innocently, "I don't know your limits either. Maybe... you can..."
Zang Tian asked, "What is it?"
Xie Feng, without batting an eye, said, "Two days ago, I went to Heavenly World City to participate in the Battle of the Four Emperors. Unfortunately, because I was too outstanding, I made quite a few enemies..."
Who have you made an enemy of?
"Two palaces, three sects, four emperors..." Xie Feng said, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Everyone: "..."
The space suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Huan Yan'er gasped, "Good heavens! Just one trip and you've offended all the top powers in the Sixth Universe?!"
Xie Feng thought about it seriously, "It's really not like that. I have a decent relationship with an elder of the Moon Sect. As for the Four Emperors, only the Southern Illusion Emperor is someone I consider upright and honorable..."
Everyone was completely speechless.
Huan Yan'er waved her hand and said with a wry smile, "This only proves that our Spirit Emperor is exceptionally capable. Few others could do it!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Take this as a compliment!
Yao Zhi asked, " Spirit Emperor, you told us to be wary of these forces, but who are we mainly going to guard against?"
"The two palaces, and the Western Nether Emperor!"
"Understood!"
"In that case, everyone should go back and rest. Perhaps... the storm is coming tomorrow..."
Xie Feng looked up at the somewhat blurry yellow moon in the sky. The moon was thin as a thread, and the surrounding stars were also small, emitting a faint, cold light.
The group gradually left.
It's late at night.
Xie Feng, however, could not rest. He remembered that according to custom, he had to go and pay respects at the grave of Spirit Emperor!
After all, they passed their position to you.
Sending you a bouquet of flowers is fine.
Before going there, he first visited the residence where Spirit Emperor had lived.
Afterwards, they arrived at a deep bamboo forest on the back mountain, where a newly built, tall tomb stood in the center of the bamboo forest.
The Tomb of Spirit Emperor!
The place is already filled with fresh flowers, fruits, and other items.
People from all worlds are bound by the custom that after a person dies, they should be offered some good things.
Xie Feng arrived carrying a pot of wine.
He stood before Spirit Emperor's tomb, raised his arm, and held the wine jug perpendicular to the ground, pouring the wine onto the tomb soil. The aroma of the wine wafted out and quickly filled the surrounding area.
After the wine offering, Xie Feng took out his Little Sword and dug a deep pit next to the tomb of the Spirit Emperor.
He packed up all of Spirit Emperor Ling's clothes, weapons, and Cultivation Method manuals and buried them in the pit.
Perhaps a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years from now, some naive young man will come searching for treasure, and he might be able to offer him some assistance!
After daybreak, Xie Feng called Gu Yu and Xu Fei over.
"Big brother, what's up? This guy dragged me out of bed first thing this morning!"
Xu Fei yawned repeatedly, still feeling groggy.
Gu Yu crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Being weak is no good. Still confused after all this time, you're really dragging the team down!"
Xu Fei instantly regained his senses.
I'm so angry!
He retorted, "I was a key intelligence operative for our previous adventure team! I won't hold them back! Besides, my cultivation is weak; I'm just an ordinary person!"
Seeing that he was a little angry, Gu Yu quickly said, "Brother, don't be angry. I was just joking. I won't make such unfunny jokes again."
Seeing him instantly cower like a grandson, Xu Fei's dissatisfaction Dissipation like Smoke.
He was somewhat smug, having actually become the brother of Gu Yu!
Xie Feng stood aside and let the two of them play around for a while before asking, "Are you both awake now?"
Xu Fei said, "I just had a fight, and I feel so refreshed!"
Gu Yu nodded, "That's definitely how it is. It seems that if he doesn't wake up next time, we'll have a big fight!"
"Stop joking. I've called you here for something important. Gu Yu, Xu Fei, you two go and inquire among the reputable sects to see which family has the best land, preferably one with strong feng shui. Help me find one."
Xie Feng said.
Xu Fei asked, "Boss, what do you need the land for?"
Xie Feng said, "Live here!"
Xu Fei blinked, seemingly confused. Once he grasped the situation, his eyes widened in shock. "Wait a minute, why ask someone so important... Wait, boss, you... you're not trying to steal their territory, are you?!"
Gu Yu disagreed. "Robbing sounds awful, it's clearly borrowing!"
Xu Fei said, "I'm not well-educated, don't try to trick me!"
Xie Feng sighed, "It's not robbery, nor is it borrowing. I'll buy it, and you can go find a better location and continue negotiating. As for the money... don't worry about it. I only care about quality; I'll buy it no matter how expensive it is!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Fei said loudly and irreverently.
He and Gu Yu hurriedly went out to complete their mission.
The morning passed quickly.
Almost all the first- and second-tier sects from the Sixth Universe have arrived.
Except for the Nether Soul Hall!
None of them showed up!
Even the most independent-minded Star God Hall sent an insignificant elder to save face.
Only the Nether Soul Hall is unwilling to even offer a perfunctory response.
That's just how capricious I am!
Xie Feng had just taken office when the Nether Soul Hall did this; it was clearly a show of force to intimidate him!
All eyes in the Sixth Universe were focused on Xie Feng.
