Nangong He felt that his plan was foolproof. Fifteen Powang Realm Peak Level Nine machetemen escorting him, in addition to his own strength. How could there be any accidents when he joined an ordinary civilian martial artist team? But accidents always happened at unexpected times. For example, the ghost servant in front of him was unusually fierce.
If it was an ordinary ghost cultivator, it would not be able to defeat a human martial artist at the same level. But ever since Du Feng's ghost servant absorbed White Impermanence, it had undergone an earth-shattering change. It was no longer an ordinary ghost cultivator, but had the strength of an authentic ghost servant. In addition, Nangong He had just broken through to the Ascension Realm with the help of medicine, and his Cultivation was not stable yet.
After a dozen rounds, Nangong He was careless, and the ghost servant slashed his left shoulder. The cold ghost fire entered his body through the wound, and he felt his vision go black, and then he lost consciousness.
Du Feng waved his hand and did not let the ghost servant kill the unconscious Nangong He. Because he still needed to know something about Li Jun from Nangong He. As a core figure who was heavily cultivated, Nangong He would definitely know more about the family's internal secrets.
With the activation of the soul-searching technique, all of Nangong He's secrets were known to Du Feng. The Nangong Nobles' establishment of the Business Alliance in the Weiyang Continent to send talents, their cooperation with the Zhuang Family in the Dongzhou Continent to cultivate the Ghost Emperor, and their cooperation with the senior demonic cultivators to cultivate the Beastmen were all exposed.
"Old Zhuang, take a look at these."
Du Feng rolled all the relevant information into a ball of light and threw it into the White Bone Banner for Zhuang Busi to take a look. Even Zhuang Busi did not know much about the cultivation of the Ghost Emperor.
"What a big game of chess."
Zhuang Busi sighed with emotion after reading it. He had always felt that the Zhuang Family's plan was not small. But compared to the game of chess of the Nangong Nobles, it was nothing. What was interesting was that the current leader of the Nangong Nobles was not a core figure in the family at all. He was not even as powerful as the young Nangong He.
Nangong Yan's death did not have much influence in the family. Apart from his own father, not many elders cared. This was also the reason why Du Feng did not suffer a real blow. To put it bluntly, the ones who truly controlled the effective resources were the old men hiding behind the scenes.
Working with the Underworld to create a large number of Ghost Emperors, then working with the higher-ups of the Monster Cultivators to nurture beastmen with terrifying combat strength. If these two batches were to appear in the four continents in large numbers, even the authority of the Fist Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the Poison Emperor would be threatened, let alone ordinary martial artists.
The Ghostly Emperor was only equivalent to the Powang Realm Cultivation of a human martial artist. It was incomparable to the Fist Emperor, who was at the Great Perfection Emperor Realm. However, most of the martial artists in the South Continent had not even reached the Powang realm. If a large number of Powang Realm Ghost Emperors were to appear and slaughter innocent civilians and martial artists in various cities, the entire South Continent would be in chaos.
If the commoners could not survive, it would be useless no matter how powerful the Fist Emperor's deterrence was. He could not possibly kill everyone for the sake of his position as the overlord, right? If everyone was killed, then there would be no meaning for him to be the overlord.
It was the same principle in other continents. As long as the martial artists at the bottom and middle levels were unable to survive, the martial artists at the top would lose the meaning of their rule. Without people to do the hard and tiring work, the rulers would not be able to enjoy it.
As for the combat power of the Beastmen, Du Feng had seen it for himself. Be it the Anchorman Arré or his good brother Chen Tianlei, they were all ferocious and ruthless. However, ferocity was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that their growth value was very high. Killing enemies of a higher level was as easy as chopping vegetables for them. It would be fine if there were only one or two of them, but if there were thousands of them appearing in large numbers, a few cities would be in chaos. If there were more of them, then the four continents would not have peace.
"The Nangong Nobles are so ambitious."
After understanding the situation, Du Feng was quite shocked. He had underestimated the Nangong Nobles in the past. He felt that they were just a nouveau riche and could not be compared to the deep-rooted Situ family. Now, it seemed that the Nangong Nobles wanted to overtake them and unite with the demon cultivators and the upper echelons of the underworld to rule the four continents. They would not even let go of the extreme south and the extreme north.
It seemed that the Demon Emperor's rule was not completely unified. The demon cultivators' upper echelons must be his right-hand men. His right-hand men were secretly cultivating the Beastmen with the Nangong Nobles, and as the ruler of the North Continent, he did not even know about it. What would he think if he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Beastmen one day?
"Cousin, why do I feel that this has something to do with the Cloud Capital?"
Murong Mansha's idea was novel, but it was also very reasonable. Du Feng thought about it carefully. The Four Sovereigns had ruled the four continents for too long. The Weiyang Continent was already high up in the sky, and the upper echelons of the Cloud Capital were even more arrogant. Although they had the final say in the Weiyang Continent, due to the existence of the Four Sovereigns, they could not interfere with the affairs of the four continents.
If they could disrupt the order of the four continents and cause the Four Sovereigns to lose their ruling power, they could naturally take advantage of the situation and interfere with the affairs of the four continents. Now that the Sword Emperor of the East Continent had disappeared, the order of the East Continent was in a precarious situation. If the other three continents were like this, the entire War God Continent would really be in chaos.
"Yes, that's possible."
Du Feng thought about it for a while. He even felt that the disappearance of his father, the Alchemy Emperor, had something to do with this. The upper echelons of the Cloud Capital wanted to unify the world, so there were probably more things they had done behind the scenes. Following this train of thought, could the rapid rise of Shangguan Yun and the rapid development of the Life Alliance be related to the upper echelons of the Cloud Capital?
If that was the case, saving his father, the Alchemy Emperor, from the Cloud Capital would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of these people in power. In the beginning, Du Feng had thought that it was only the ambition of some people who did this. Now that it seemed like this was a grand plan of the entire upper echelons of the Cloud Capital.
Now that Du Feng had interfered, it was impossible for him to escape. He already had a grudge against the Nangong Nobles, and he had taken in two people from the Zhuang Family into the White Bone Banner. He was also a mortal enemy of Meng Po, one of the upper echelons of the Yin World. All of this was like a trap, one step at a time, forcing him to the point where he was now.
