"Have you heard who took it?" Xia Feng asked.
"Lie Huo Sect, Wu Liang Immortal Venerable," Leng Li reported the name and continued, "Lie Huo Sect is in Wu Mie City, north of the Death Swamp, which is also the closest city to Kong Xu City."
Xia Feng nodded upon hearing this. At least there was news about the Yellow Tree Fruit.
Regardless of whether the Yellow Tree Fruit had been used, he had to go and see.
The Yellow Tree Fruit was a top-grade medicinal ingredient for refining pills and was rarely used alone.
"Immortal Master, are you going? This Wu Liang Immortal Venerable has late-stage Immortal Venerable cultivation, and he is an established Immortal Venerable. His strength is unfathomable."
Dongfang Yongshou was afraid that Xia Feng would rush over without fully understanding the situation and suffer a great loss.
They were not clear about Xia Feng's exact strength, but facing an established late-stage Immortal Venerable, he would definitely have no chance of winning.
He did not want Xia Feng to get into trouble, especially since he had finally found a fellow countryman from Earth.
"You've heard of him too?" Xia Feng asked Dongfang Yongshou.
"Yes, this person extremely looks down on us cultivators who ascend from Earth. Every time we pass through Wu Mie City, we are extorted for protection fees," Dongfang Yongshou said with some resentment.
After all, when mentioning the name of someone who had been bullying you for a long time, it was unavoidable to grit your teeth.
"There is another reason why Kong Xu City is constantly invaded by demons, and that is that they don't care about our lives," Nangong Tian also chimed in.
"Alright, I understand," Xia Feng nodded.
"Immortal Master, what are your plans? Will you stay in Kong Xu City?" Dongfang Yongshou asked Xia Feng.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Xia Feng with expectant eyes, hoping he would stay.
With such a powerful expert stationed in Kong Xu City, it would provide great security for the city.
Xia Feng was about to refuse but then swallowed back the words he was about to say.
He indeed needed to develop a territory to use as a base. When he returned to Earth and brought Xia Lin and the others up, it would be impossible to manage without his own territory.
"How many people are there in Kong Xu City?" Xia Feng asked Leng Li.
"Reporting to Immortal Master, the total population is currently about 3 million," Leng Li replied with a bow.
Three million people was quite a lot. Xia Feng nodded upon hearing this.
"From today onwards, Kong Xu City will be my city, Xia Feng's city. I declare that I will be stationed here from today, and in the future, Kong Xu City will become the number one city in the Immortal Realm!"
Xia Feng suddenly shouted, his voice echoing throughout Kong Xu City.
He wondered how much he could bring up with the Eastern Emperor Bell. If he could bring some modern machinery, wouldn't there be towering buildings?
Xia Feng was startled by his own thought.
"We obey the Immortal Master's command." Everyone's spirits were lifted upon hearing this, and they all responded.
Having such a powerful being stationed in Kong Xu City was like adding a thick layer of protection, and everyone was happy.
The happiest were Dongfang Yongshou, Nangong Tian, and Shangguan Jia.
After ascending for so many years, they finally felt a sense of pride.
"Leng Li, you continue to be the City Lord and maintain the normal construction of Kong Xu City. I have other arrangements for these three. Everything will be planned after I take Wu Liang Immortal Venerable's dog life and return."
Xia Feng would not personally manage Kong Xu City, where he would be stationed. Management would still be handed over to the City Lord.
As for Dongfang Yongshou and the other two, they were fellow countrymen, and Xia Feng would not be stingy with helping them improve their strength.
Others did not pay attention to the other words, but they clearly heard the phrase "take Wu Liang Immortal Venerable's dog life."
Hiss...
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Immortal Master, Wu Liang Immortal Venerable is a super expert in the late stage of Immortal Venerable!" Dongfang Yongshou quickly said.
Xia Feng smiled upon hearing this and then retorted, "Late stage Immortal Venerable?"
After saying this, Xia Feng flew directly towards Wu Mie City, leaving a soul-stirring sentence in the air: "I have long been an Immortal Emperor."
"I have long been an Immortal Emperor..."
This sentence echoed endlessly above Kong Xu City, impacting their young hearts.
Leng Li was the first to react. He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "We welcome the Immortal Emperor."
"We welcome the Immortal Emperor."
One by one, they knelt down, their eyes gleaming with fervent light.
This was an Immortal Emperor! It had been so long since the Tian Xuan Continent had two Immortal Emperors, and now there was another one, who had ascended from the lower realm.
Dongfang Yongshou was so excited that he almost fainted. His old face was as red as a monkey's backside, flushed with excitement.
Xia Feng didn't mind exposing his strength. His strength would naturally be revealed after he dealt with Wu Liang Immortal Venerable.
Xia Feng did this to inform everyone in the Tian Xuan Continent that Kong Xu City belonged to him and no one was allowed to covet it.
After a long while, those who were kneeling slowly stood up.
"City Lord," Dongfang Yongshou called out to Leng Li.
"Thank you," Leng Li bowed to Dongfang Yongshou.
He wasn't foolish. Xia Feng's decision to stay was somewhat related to Dongfang Yongshou and the other two.
"City Lord, you're being too formal. You're the most conscientious City Lord I've ever seen," Dongfang Yongshou quickly stepped aside.
Leng Li had been in Kong Xu City for so many years, and he had always been diligent. Without his persistence, Kong Xu City would have long been looted by demons.
Everyone saw these things but didn't say anything.
"Thank you for your praise. Since I am the City Lord of Kong Xu City, I will protect your safety on a voluntary basis," Leng Li said, cupping his fists.
"Mm," Dongfang Yongshou nodded heavily.
"Now the clouds have finally parted, and we can see the sky. With the Immortal Emperor stationed here, I completely believe that Kong Xu City will become the number one city in the Tian Xuan Continent one day," Leng Li sighed. The pressure that had been accumulating for years was finally released, making him feel unprecedentedly comfortable.
"Everyone, listen to my orders," Leng Li suddenly shouted loudly.
"Here."
"Tidy up Kong Xu City and welcome back the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who were sent out of the city. We must welcome the Immortal Emperor's return in the most perfect way." Leng Li shouted his orders.
"Yes, City Lord," everyone responded.
Because of Xia Feng's arrival, the entire Kong Xu City was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Compared to the previous oppressive atmosphere, Kong Xu City was now more vibrant and reborn.
An Immortal Emperor stationed in a city was unprecedented in the Tian Xuan Continent.
Even though the Tian Xuan Continent had two Immortal Emperors, neither had ever been stationed in a specific place.
Kong Xu City was destined to soar, and its reputation would spread throughout the Tian Xuan Continent with Xia Feng.
