Half a month had passed and the country had returned to normal. Yan Zhen's death had also come to an end. Nobody talked about what had happened in Golden Wheel City anymore. Everything was the same as before. Those who needed to practice cultivation practiced and those who needed to eat ate.
In the imperial palace.
"Yan Tian Qiao, I can't see you at all. You're gone."
Lin Feng was standing in front of a new grave in the garden. Yan Tian Qiao's name was engraved on it. During the past half a month, Yan Tian Qiao had tried to kill herself many times, but Xiao Qing had stopped her every time. However, because of Lin Feng, Xiao Qing had been so excited that she had forgotten about Yan Tian Qiao.
It was at such a moment that Yan Tianqiao chose to commit suicide and leave Eternal Kingdom.
Lin Feng didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at that moment. In short, he felt empty and bitter. He also felt that he owed her a lot. Such a beautiful woman had ended her life before she was even a hundred years old.
"Brother, let her go. She's disheartened. She doesn't have the courage to live anymore. She knows that the hatred between you and Yan Zhen is endless. She doesn't want to get revenge. In the end, she can only choose to kill herself." Said Xiao Qing. She was standing behind Lin Feng. She still had her face covered.
Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng understood that, but it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that it was actually true.
"Brother, let's go. The leaders are waiting for you." Xiao Qing grabbed Lin Feng's arm and said in a soft voice, "Thank you.
Lin Feng had already told Xiao Qing about what had happened in the slums. Xiao Qing didn't do what Lin Feng had expected. She didn't want to kill herself. Instead, she understood life and death better than Lin Feng. Lin Feng was a cultivator of life and death, but he still understood life and death.
Xiao Qing seemed like she didn't care about anything. Even if she died one day, she wouldn't feel anything. Maybe when Lin Feng died, Xiao Qing would really cry.
Xiao Qing had come to comfort Lin Feng. Lin Feng had no reason not to listen to her.
The two of them left the garden and left the beautiful world of flowers. They had to face the cruel reality.
The front hall was the original Imperial Palace Hall. Now that the Scattered Nation didn't have a Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace had become the City Lord's Mansion. The Scattered Nation didn't have a territory of more than ten million miles, so calling it an empire would be a joke. After all, the Scattered Nation wasn't the Scattered Nation in the past.
Lin Feng turned the country into a city. All the land was centralized. He removed the nine strongholds but kept the Black Dragon Clan and the Azure Dragon Clan. He also created four strongholds in the north, south, east, and west of the country. The remaining strongholds were managed by the leaders of the strongholds.
Lin Feng didn't really want to control the country. Back then, he just wanted to protect the people of the slums and his friends from Godly Continent. Now that the people of the slums had been slaughtered, there was only one thing left for Lin Feng to control the country.
Jing Wuhen summoned his master and talked for more than ten minutes in the room. No one came to disturb them, not even Lin Feng.
No one knew what Jing Wuhen and his mysterious master were talking about. However, half a minute later, a High-Level Ultimate God appeared in San Gu. His strength was not inferior to Hierarch Purple Demon's, which gave Lin Feng hope.
Jing Wuhen led the High-Level Ultimate God into the front hall and introduced the old man in a grand manner.
"Lin Feng, this is the Great Elder of Ze Country, Yin Tiesheng. His strength isn't inferior to your master, Hierarch Zi Mo. Senior Yin Tiesheng will be in charge of the country. What do you think?"
Jing Wuhen smiled as she pointed at the black-robed old man beside her. The old man had a benevolent face and was the kind of old man that anyone who saw him would have a good impression of. Furthermore, his aura was very smooth, like a warm jade pendant. He didn't reveal anything, but he was extremely valuable.
Zu Ti's sword trembled slightly on Lin Feng's back. Lin Feng quickly understood what Zu Ti meant. The old man knew Yin Tiesheng and obviously had a good impression of him.
Lin Feng stood up and bowed respectfully to the old man. Yin Tiesheng returned the gesture with a smile. He didn't act like an elder at all.
"A middle-aged genius who doesn't lose to Jing Wuhen. Not bad." Yin Tiesheng praised Lin Feng. He could see at a glance that Lin Feng would have a bright future. Of course, the prerequisite was that Lin Feng could stay alive and pass the Evil God's test.
Lin Feng was too daring. He had killed the evil spirit. Although it felt good, he still broke out in cold sweat when he thought about it. Lin Feng had dared to kill the Evil God's first disciple. He had even dismembered the evil spirit in such a cruel manner for the Evil God to see with his own eyes. Yin Tiesheng couldn't help but admire Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was the only one who would stab the relatives of the dead after killing someone.
"Master, please sit." Said Lin Feng while waving his hand. Yin Tiesheng, of course, wasn't going to be intimidated by Lin Feng's blood Qi. Yin Tiesheng had seen people kill dozens of people, he had even seen the massacre of an entire city. He had personally witnessed the massacre of an entire country.
Yin Tiesheng sat on Lin Feng's left. Jing Wuhen sat on Yin Tiesheng's side. On Lin Feng's right was Xiao Qing. Behind Xiao Qing were the Black Dragon King and the others. The three people from Golden Wheel City were sitting on Jing Wuhen's right.
"Do you have a detailed plan?" Yin Tiesheng sat down, but his mouth was not idle. Instead, he directly asked an important question.
Yin Tiesheng looked at Lin Feng. Jing Wuhen looked at Lin Feng. Everybody looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was the head of the city, his words were worth a thousand gold. Nobody dared to disobey him. Lin Feng was the head of the city.
"I plan to build a few teleportation portals between Scattered City and Ze Country. It'll greatly reduce the travel time.
"At the same time, I'll move all of Scattered City's population to the north, near Ze Country. The south side of Scattered City will be the border to defend against Golden Wheel City's attacks.
"Brother Jing and I are about to leave Scattered City to travel around the continent. We won't have time to manage Scattered Country, so I'll leave this heavy responsibility to you, Master."
Lin Feng told them his plan. Everyone in the hall nodded. It was a good idea, especially to build teleportation portals between Scattered City and Ze Country. It would greatly reduce the travel time.
Yin Tiesheng was smiling from beginning to end. He didn't react to Lin Feng's suggestion. He had come because Jing Wuhen's teacher had told him to support Jing Wuhen with all his strength.
As long as Jing Wuhen and Lin Feng's relationship didn't deteriorate, the relationship between Scattered City and Ze Country wouldn't break. Both sides could coexist and there would be no harm to Ze Country.
"Alright, it's fine if I work hard. The important thing is that you all need to train as soon as possible. Once you break through to high-level Ultimate God, everything will be fine." Yin Tiesheng nodded with a face full of smiles.
Lin Feng looked at Yin Tiesheng gratefully and cast a friendly glance at Jing Wuhen. Nephrite City didn't have the fortune to cooperate with Scattered City, but Ze Country had great foresight. Moreover, Ze Country wasn't afraid of Golden Wheel City at all. With Nephrite City and Scattered Country between them, they could only clash during the Western Empire Tournament.
"You guys chat, I'll go for a walk and take a look around the palace. Although Scattered Country was small and weak in the past, the palace is very prosperous now." Yin Tiesheng knew how to seize the opportunity. It was not convenient for him to listen to Lin Feng and his confidants, so he dragged Jing Wuhen out of the hall.
Lin Feng wanted to say that Jing Wuhen didn't have to leave, but he thought about it and decided to let him be. He wanted to avoid arousing suspicion and also prove that they didn't have the slightest intention of spying on Scattered City.
Lin Feng's confidants were naturally the leaders present. They were all attached to Scattered Country. Although the tree wasn't strong at the moment, it was still very important and could protect them.
With common interests, they could naturally become 'trusted aides'.
"City Lord, let's go out first." The three experts from Golden Wheel City were about to leave the hall but were stopped by Lin Feng.
"Since you've surrendered to Scattered Country, you're my confidants. You've also killed so many experts from Golden Wheel City, which is enough to show your loyalty. Since that's the case, why do you want to leave?"
Lin Feng's plain words made the three of them feel gratified and warm. They were usually not welcomed by the people in Golden Wheel City as there were many Middle Ultimate Gods who would think of them when they were in trouble. However, they did not have a share when they were blessed. That was also the reason why the three of them did not want to risk their lives for Golden Wheel City.
Now that Lin Feng was willing to treat them as confidants, they were very happy that he wouldn't suspect them just because they came from Golden Wheel City.
"City Lord is wise." The three of them knelt on the ground with their hands on the ground and faces full of sincerity.
"Get up, this isn't Golden Wheel City and I'm not the tyrannical Golden Wheel Divinity. Get up." Lin Feng waved his hand as he couldn't stand the three of them being so courteous.
The three of them were glowing with health and vigor. In a flash, the atmosphere around them had changed. At the beginning, they had been extremely cautious, they were scared that Lin Feng would kill them. However, at that moment, they were treating Cang Cheng as their own home.
"Listen, I treat you as my confidants, so I'll tell you what happened today, but you're not allowed to say a word." Lin Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold and his expression was solemn. His tone was unprecedentedly solemn and everyone immediately felt the tense atmosphere.
"City Lord, tell me. If anyone leaks the secret, I'll be the first to kill him." The Black Dragon King nodded heavily. He was the most senior among them and had the right to say such words.
Lin Feng nodded as he was not worried about that.
"After all the people of Scattered Country are moved to the north, you must protect the south, especially the mountain behind the slums. There … there's a big secret hidden there."
"I'll tell you the truth. I'm not from Eternal Kingdom. I came here from Godly Continent, and there's a space-time tunnel in that mountain, which allows people from Godly Continent to come here."
"From now on, you must keep a close eye on the mountain. If someone comes out of the space-time tunnel, remember his appearance and characteristics and report it to me."
"You can take this tablet and report it to me. Even if I'm millions of kilometers away, I'll still be able to see what you're reporting."
When Lin Feng finished talking, he gave everyone a talisman in case they needed it in the future.
Lin Feng's explanation was far from over. They would never have thought that Lin Feng wasn't from Eternal Kingdom, but that he came from a lower world?
That was simply unbelievable.
But Lin Feng had told them such a secret, and they were all very happy. It proved that Lin Feng really treated them as his confidants.
