620: 619: Imperial Servant 620: 619: Imperial Servant Emperor Bai and Emperor Xuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with immense disappointment.
With their current abilities, it was already fortunate that one emperor and two empresses were willing to sit with them.
They naively thought they could form an alliance like before, but if it weren’t for the emperors’ remaining strength, the others would have not even spared them a glance.
Regardless, this was an outcome they didn’t want to see.
What followed was to rebuild their sect and recruit talents.
Naturally, loose cultivators were their targets.
Fortunately, their Sumeru Rings still contained many good items, especially the Elixirs they had snatched in the past.
Now, with the Dan Pavilion gone, Elixirs had become an incredibly scarce existence.
This was perfect for winning over a group of loose cultivators, striving to rebuild the Asking Immortal Palace in the shortest time possible.
Otherwise, the Asking Immortal Palace and Xuanwu Palace would fall out of the ranks of the Ten Great Sects.
Though reluctant, they had to make the sacrifice to restore their power.
Of course, this was just the first step.
Emperor Bai and Emperor Xuan stayed till the end, came to an agreement, and decided to return to that villa they had visited before.
Perhaps there were treasures left unfound.
If they could find a batch of Elixirs or Spirit Stones, it would shorten the time needed to rebuild.
Subsequently, the two of them arrived at Half Mountain Villa.
Once they reached the villa, they found the formations that had been destroyed years earlier had been restored, which made them even more convinced that there were treasures inside; otherwise, it wouldn’t have repaired itself.
However, what they didn’t consider was the possibility that the owner had returned.
Sometimes, humans just have a penchant for courting death.
Emperor Bai and Emperor Xuan would not have guessed that their every move was under Tang Feng’s surveillance.
To lead them to come on their own, he intentionally weakened the formations, further convincing them that the formations had self-repaired.
As expected, the two emperors, familiar with the route, bombarded the formations with several hundred punches, and the formation opened.
The thick Spiritual Essence rushed toward them, filling them with joy.
But as soon as they entered, their smiles vanished instantly.
They saw a young man lying on a chair in the courtyard.
He was there, but they hadn’t noticed him, which spoke volumes; both of them wore expressions of terror.
Merging with heaven and earth, this level of cultivation was certainly beyond their reach.
Without a second thought, both turned and ran.
Bang, bang!
The formation that had allowed them free passage was now an obstruction.
“How could this be?”
“Senior, we were just curious, with no ill intentions.
We’ve disturbed your peaceful cultivation, please forgive us,” the two said, discarding their statuses and kneeling before Tang Feng.
Tang Feng stood up and slowly walked over to them.
At that moment, both simultaneously made their move, unleashing their strongest attack on Tang Feng.
Ah!
Unexpectedly, these two still had such courage; indeed, they were powerful figures who stood at the peak.
Tang Feng didn’t retaliate, or even defend; he let both emperors’ attacks land solidly on him.
Bang!
The two emperors rejoiced.
Due to some reason, their power was significantly higher than the traditional standard, and they felt that even a Quasi-Immortal could not withstand this strike.
But what followed plunged them into despair.
Their opponent remained unscathed, whereas they were blasted away, their hands detonating on impact, rendering both arms useless in an instant.
And that was just the beginning.
Before the two emperors even hit the ground, they were pulled by a force to Tang Feng’s feet.
The heads of the two emperors were pressed to the ground, immobilized.
“Emperor Bai, Emperor Xuan, I myself have not dared to claim the title of emperor, from where do you derive such arrogance to be so presumptuous?” With a push of his hand, the emperors’ backbones were snapped in half.
You should know, with their level of cultivation, their bones were nearly turning to Jade Bone; to break them so brutally was nearly the end of their lives.
Both figures coughed up fresh blood, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Tang Feng.
They simply couldn’t understand why they had offended such a powerful cultivator.
Had they known this would happen, they would never have been greedy in the first place.
But now everything was too late, they had never imagined that death could be so closely knocking at their door.
What to do?
Submit, beg for mercy, but would he accept it?
With a snap, the bones in their legs were also crushed.
No, please!
The two emperors completely broke down, “Mercy, my lord, from now on we are willing to be your dogs, to do whatever you ask without complaint.”
“Oh, is that so, but how can I trust you?” Tang Feng said with a smile.
“We are willing to swear by our divine souls.”
“Swear by your divine souls?
No, I don’t trust that.
Lower your soul defenses.”
The two emperors trembled all over, they had heard of the method of soul imprinting but had never seen it.
Could this person be planning to control them using this method?
It seemed they had no choice, serving as errand runners for such a powerful being wasn’t necessarily unacceptable.
So they lowered their soul defenses.
After Tang Feng used the Spirit Control Technique to imprint them, he released them, injecting a stream of Vitality Primordial Power into their bodies.
They watched as their shattered bones rapidly reconnected, and in less than ten breaths of time, they were as good as new—a speed of recovery unheard of.
“This is the Vitality Pill, take it to mend your arms.” Tang Feng threw them two elixirs, and the two emperors hurriedly ingested them.
Afterwards, their arms visibly healed at a rapid pace, and within thirty breaths, they were perfectly restored.
“Thank you, Master.” The two emperors were filled with mixed emotions.
They had always been high above the rest and were finally experiencing what it was like to be beneath someone.
Feeling suffocated, helpless, and filled mostly with anger.
Of course, they dared not show any of this.
They knelt obediently.
“How many sects took part in the attack on the Tang Group?
You will bring me those people, whether they are from sects or individuals, and do not let a single one go.”
“Rest assured, Master, we will take care of it right away.” The two emperors were elated; they could take advantage of the situation.
Although they had become someone else’s servants, they still couldn’t let go of their lofty status.
They would keep it a secret as much as possible, as it concerned face-saving issues; they couldn’t let go of their dignity.
However, when absolutely necessary, they still had to reluctantly reveal their identities.
In any case, when they left Tang Feng’s presence, they were drenched in sweat.
From today on, their lives were not their own, but luckily, Tang Feng did not control their thoughts all the time.
That was something the two emperors were grateful for.
What came next was a flurry of activity to prepare for a major event.
Tang Feng realized he had become rather lazy, even delegating his vengeance to others.
Huasha University, Tang Feng went straight there.
He had spent some time here and retained a bit of sentiment for the place.
But his memories were not profound, although there was someone he intended to compensate adequately.
Unexpectedly, she was still at the school, and had risen to a high position.
It was difficult for a teacher to become a head of teaching at a university, and even if there were suitable candidates, achieving it was another matter.
Huaxia University had completely changed, now being half a Cultivation Academy.
The majority of the students had become martial artists, while the remaining few were placed in the Mortal Class, which Lin Siyu now managed.
To be honest, this was not an enviable task.
Usually, those who were bullied by the martial artists would have to turn to Lin Siyu, and those martial artists did not take her seriously at all.
If not for her status that protected her, who knows what might have happened.
After so many years, Lin Siyu was feeling weary.
In reality, she had become a cultivator.
Tang Feng had changed her physique, how could she care about ordinary martial artists?
Only because she bore the identity of a teacher was she refraining from taking action.
Otherwise, those martial artists wouldn’t dare to be so brazen.
Sometimes having status wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Lin Siyu would often sink into deep thought after settling one matter, a habit formed over many years, and one that was impossible to change.
