"What are you guys doing? Are you here to kill my brother Du as well?"
Xiao Hei suddenly turned around and looked at the few people in the distance.
"Sorry, we were just passing by. You guys go ahead."
They were indeed here to kill Du Feng and earn a lot of money. However, their legs turned to jelly when they saw the battle just now. They supported each other and barely managed to leave the scene. It was really hard to earn money these days. No wonder the Duanmu Family and Chun Yu Family were willing to pay so much money to kill Du Feng.
Putting Du Feng's strength aside, the people around him were terrifying enough. That person kept calling Du Feng Brother Du and seemed to respect him very much. Didn't that mean that Du Feng's strength was even more terrifying?
Aiya, oh my god, isn't this just sending me to my death? Fortunately, they were slow on the way here. If they had arrived earlier, they would be the ones who were knocked unconscious. It was fine even if they died from the fall, but it was really embarrassing to be naked after being knocked unconscious.
"Passing by?"
"Stop pretending. Hand over the things if you want to live."
Xiao Hei had learned bad things from Du Feng. He would not let them leave so easily. The few of them carried their weapons sneakily. It was obvious that they wanted to fight but changed their minds at the last minute.
"Hand it over. We'll hand it over."
The few of them trembled as they took off the storage rings on their hands and carefully threw them to Xiao Hei. They did not dare to approach for fear that they would be killed by Xiao Hei. The storage rings contained more than half of their assets. The other half was hidden in a place that no one knew about as a backup.
Frankly speaking, it would be painful to hand over more than half of their assets. However, it was better than handing over their lives. They had heard that Du Feng killed people and destroyed their souls. Now, he was even more ruthless. After killing people, he even captured their souls. They did not know what he wanted to do. Such a strange person might have some sorcery.
"Erm, can we go now?"
After handing over the storage rings, they did not dare to leave. Without Xiao Hei's approval, they didn't dare to move. If he moved, it would be misunderstood as a fight, and he would face a storm of attacks.
"Let's go, I wish you a pleasant journey!"
Du Feng chuckled and divided the things with Xiao Hei before letting those people leave. After all, they hadn't fought yet, so there wasn't much hatred between them. Since they've already handed over their storage rings, I'll let them off.
Happy trip? Happy my ass! Their storage rings had all been taken away, so of course they wouldn't be happy. One by one, they left with long faces. However, after walking for a distance, they felt lucky. Although he had lost his money, he had kept his life. Money could be earned again in the future. However, he had to bear in mind that he couldn't accept any more jobs from the Duanmu Family and the Chun Yu Family. It was too much of a scam.
"How boring. They all ran away."
Xiao Hei looked around and realized that a few groups of people had gone far away. They didn't dare to come close at all. These people wouldn't come to the Imperial Beast Forest for no reason. Most of them were probably here for his brother Du. It would be great if he could blackmail them one by one.
"Don't worry about them. What will come will come."
In fact, Du Feng had also noticed that ever since the two of them had broken through to the Divine Emperor Realm, those who came were itinerant cultivators or outsiders. None of them were natives of the Sacred City. To put it bluntly, the Divine Emperors of the Sacred City wouldn't make a move easily. The last time Duanmu Yijun and Huangfu Xianfeng came was purely coincidental, and they didn't make a move in the end.
Although these itinerant cultivators were also at the Divine Emperor Cultivation Realm, their strength was far inferior to the Divine Emperors of the Sacred City. Other than a few experts like the Gold City City Lords and the Sea City Lords, the rest were generally weaker. In fact, even the few City Lords were sent from the Sacred City. To put it bluntly, they were still people of the Sacred City.
It was no wonder that everyone said that the Sacred City was a great place and that everyone yearned for it. The next time someone came, it would either be a ninth-stage Divine Emperor or a Divine Emperor of the Sacred City. As for the arrangements, it would depend on the Duanmu Family and the Chun Yu Family.
They would never allow Du Feng to enter the Sacred City, because once he entered, he wouldn't be able to make a move. Private fights were not allowed in the Sacred City, even in small alleys. The Sacred City wasn't like the Sea City, and it wasn't open to the public. There were a few Divine Race Patriarchs whose Divine Consciousness covered the entire Sacred City. Every movement in the Sacred City couldn't escape their surveillance.
Unless you stayed in your own temple and didn't come out, you would already be under the surveillance of those Divine Race Patriarchs as soon as you came out of the temple to the streets.
Therefore, the Duanmu Family and the Chun Yu Family didn't want Du Feng to enter the Sacred City. Because he was so talented, once he entered the Sacred City, he would definitely pass the examination and become an official resident. By then, Du Feng would have the same authority and status as them, and they wouldn't be able to make a move.
Everyone was at the Divine Emperor Realm, and no matter how many generations your family had been here, other than the elders in the City Lord Manor, the rest of the people had the same status. Moreover, no Divine Emperor was allowed to be injured in the Sacred City.
The enemies didn't seem to come as soon as Du Feng imagined. Subsequently, he and Xiao Hei spent a long period of peace. When they were two-thirds of the way into the Imperial Beast Forest, there were still no new enemies. Along the way, they had killed so many pseudo-divine beasts and collected a large number of cores. Xiao Hei's Cultivation had broken through to the third-stage Divine Emperor Realm, and Du Feng had also reached the late-stage second-stage Divine Emperor Realm.
The rest of the journey wasn't far, but there were still some small troubles ahead. The last part of the Imperial Beast Forest was filled with powerful pseudo-divine beasts. Many of them were at the ninth-stage Divine Emperor Realm, and some were even at the peak of the ninth-stage Divine Emperor Realm.
If it was just the Cultivation level, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, Du Feng and Xiao Hei were strong in combat. When they were at the God Thearch Realm, they could already kill Divine Emperor Aardwolves. However, the problem was that the pseudo-divine beasts in the deepest part of the Imperial Beast Forest weren't weak animals like the aardwolves.
Even if they were at the first-stage Divine Emperor Cultivation level, they were still much stronger than the aardwolves. They could fight at least ten aardwolves at the same time.
"Roar …"
Du Feng and Xiao Hei were walking carefully when they heard a tiger's roar. Sure enough, there were herds of cattle and sheep, and ferocious beasts walking alone. A Four-winged Tiger was walking towards them without a trace of fear. It could definitely sense the divine beast aura on Xiao Hei, but it didn't care at all.
