King Yama's Northern Palace.
"Tap." "Tap." The sound of footsteps rang out.
A black figure slowly walked into the majestic palace. The empty valley was quiet. He held a domineering long spear that glowed with a sky-blue light. There seemed to be an invisible tacit understanding between the spear and the person. It was an indescribable feeling.
It was Lin Feng!
"Junior Lin Feng greets King Yama's Northern Palace." Lin Feng held the Doomsday Spear in his hand and bowed respectfully.
The figure stood there calmly. His well-proportioned body gave people the illusion of perfection. It was as if he was parallel to the entire world. In front of him stood a white-haired middle-aged man. His face couldn't be seen clearly. Only his back could be seen. However, just by standing there, one could feel his domineering aura.
King Yama's Northern Palace, Ji Bei.
"You're here." A calm voice rang out. King Yama's Northern Palace didn't turn around. He still stood there with his hands behind his back.
Lin Feng bowed. "Senior, thank you for giving me the spear."
The Blue Heaven-grade weapon in his hand, the Doomsday Spear, vibrated.
"There's no need to thank me. Someone else helped you," King Yama's Northern Palace said slowly. His calm voice was like a calm lake.
Someone else?
Lin Feng frowned slightly as he thought to himself.
He thought that the Heavenly Stairway, the Doomsday Spear, and the mysterious power were all done by King Yama's Northern Palace. However, from his expression and actions, it didn't seem to be the case. Lin Feng looked at the King of Hell's North's back with bright eyes.
Indeed.
He didn't notice it earlier.
Although King Yama's Northern Palace was strong, there was still a gap between him and the person who helped him on the Heavenly Stairway. That person's strength could permeate the Heavenly Stairway and exert pressure on him. He was almost as strong as Witch Emperor Jiang.
King Yama's Northern Palace wasn't strong enough.
"Speak. Why are you looking for me?" Hades King of the North went straight to the point.
Lin Feng's eyes shone as he looked at the vigorous and powerful figure. It was as if he knew everything, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it from him. He sincerely said, "This junior will never forget senior's kindness in promoting me. However, regarding the matter of the Northern Dragon Guard, I hope senior will take back his order. Please forgive this junior for being rude."
"Oh?" King Yama of the North was surprised.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he said, "Firstly, Senior Longshou has treated me as both a teacher and a friend, and I don't want to usurp his position. Secondly, I'm the ruler of the Southern Domain, and I have a responsibility to fulfill. I can't give up my position and take the Divine Spirit. I hope King Yama of the North can understand."
As his voice fell, the hall fell silent.
He didn't hear anything and Hades North didn't reply. Lin Feng stood there with a serious expression.
This was his decision. No matter what, he could not join the Heavenly Spirit Sect and become the new Northern Dragon Guardian. Even if he were to offend the King of Hades of the North and the giant of Yan Imperial City, he would not regret it.
He would do what he had to do!
After a while …
"Firstly, you've made a mistake." King Yama of the North's voice rang out. The figure that looked like an old tree suddenly turned around. Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he saw a middle-aged man who was half a head taller than him. His vigorous white hair was eye-catching, and he didn't seem to have aged at all.
The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly his golden eyes, which shone brightly.
"A special eye." Lin Feng thought to himself. He clearly understood.
He also had special eyes. Hence, he could sense how strong King Yama of the North was. He didn't know about other things, but King Yama of the North's special eyes were stronger than his Vast Star Eyes and Starry Sky Eyes in his normal state. Compared to his own eyes in his normal state, he didn't know which was stronger.
King Yama of the North looked straight at Lin Feng and said slowly, "The Heavenly Spirit Sect isn't the real 'power alliance'. It's just a name. Do you really think that the eight thousand complicated neutral races can really merge into one entity? If that's the case, the Dou Ling World will have nothing to do with the Sorcerer Race and the Demon Race. "
There was a faint arrogance in his words.
However, he had the right to be arrogant.
With King Yama of the North's strength, his words were naturally convincing.
The 8,000 neutral races all had excellent talents. Many of them were comparable to the top experts of the Sorcerer Race and the Demon Race. Lin Feng thought to himself. However, he knew very well that the strength of Emperor Yan City alone was enough to make people respect them, let alone the other two Imperial Cities …
Loulan Kingdom, Underworld.
With the combined strength of the three, even the Sorcerer Race and the Demon Race would have to stand aside.
However, just as he knew, the 8,000 neutral races couldn't merge into one entity. It was equivalent to forcefully merging humans, beasts, insects, and even ghosts. What would that look like? There were all kinds of neutral races in the 8,000 neutral races.
"The Heavenly Spirit Sect is just a name given to us by the outside world." There was a hint of disdain in King Yama of the North's voice. He said calmly, "Let's not talk about the infighting between the three Imperial Cities. Just the East, South, West, and North Yama of the Imperial City that you've seen are divided. It's difficult for them to merge into one entity."
Lin Feng nodded.
King Yama of the North was right.
However, what did he mean by telling him this?
In an instant, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. His eyes lit up as he said slowly, "So what you mean is … even if I succeed the position of the Northern Dragon Guard, it will not conflict with the position of the Southern Region's Master?"
King Yama of the North shook his head. Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.
That's not what he meant?
"Of course there will be conflicts. However, the other three Kings of Hell might care about the position of City Guard, but it won't affect the Loulan Kingdom or the Underworld." King Yama of the North looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes. "Therefore, you don't have to worry too much about it. This matter is vague and mysterious to begin with."
Lin Feng was confused. He didn't know what King Yama of the North meant.
One moment, he said that the other three Kings of Hell would care. The next moment, he said that the Loulan Kingdom and the Underworld were fine.
The power structure of the Heavenly Spirit Sect was simply too intricate.
King Yama of the North smiled faintly and looked at Lin Feng. He seemed to have seen through Lin Feng's doubts. He said, "Let's put it simply. It was the Hades Emperor's idea to let you take over the position of the North Dragon Guard."
Hades Emperor!
Lin Feng's eyes widened.
There was only one person in Hades Imperial City who could be given this title!
The true ruler of Hades Imperial City!
"It can't be, right?" Lin Feng was shocked. He couldn't believe it. How did he attract the Hades Emperor's attention? Or rather, did he have any connection with the Hades Emperor? Hundreds of questions swirled in his heart. He was even more confused, confused, and flattered.
However, he understood what King Yama of the North meant.
Even if the other three Kings of Hell had some complaints about him taking over the position of the North Dragon Guard, their "immediate superior" was the Hades Emperor. This matter would naturally be left unsettled. As for the other two Imperial Cities, they might care about the experts at the level of the Kings of Hell. However, they wouldn't pay attention to the experts at the level of a mere "city guard."
Therefore, there was still a gray area between black and white. This allowed him to move with ease.
"Also." King Yama of the North spoke again. "Since you have a grudge against my disciple's title of North Dragon Guard, I will do as you wish and change it to North Wind Guard." After pausing for a moment, King Yama of the North said indifferently, "In that case, Lin Feng, do you have any other concerns?"
"This …" Lin Feng was hesitant.
Things had changed so quickly that he hadn't expected it.
Because he had made up his mind to reject King Yama of the North's good intentions, he had never thought that he would accept it. This was a little unexpected. Frowning slightly, Lin Feng fell into deep thought. The whole thing seemed to be tangled up, but there seemed to be a layer of existence that he didn't know about. He had a bad feeling about it.
However, it seemed that he couldn't even find an excuse to reject.
Everything had been resolved by King Yama of the North. It was as if King Yama of the North had paved the path for him and was just waiting for him to walk on it.
This feeling was very uncomfortable.
However, he had no other choice. This was the only path left in front of him.
Moreover …
"Whew …" After letting out a long breath, Lin Feng's fluctuating eyes slowly calmed down. He had already made a decision. He suddenly knelt on one knee and cupped his hands. "North Wind Guard, Lin Feng, greets King Yama of the North." Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only accept it.
Moreover, in his opinion, King Yama of the North didn't have any ill intentions.
If he really didn't know how to appreciate favors and rejected time and time again, it would be too much.
After all, King Yama of the North was North Dragon Guard's master. Not to mention the opportunity of the 10,000 Zhang Stairway to Heaven and the gift of the Doomsday Spear, just the kindness that North Dragon Guard had shown him was something that he couldn't repay. Moreover, it didn't conflict with him being the ruler of the Southern Region. Moreover, he had come this time because he had a request.
With all these factors added together, he accepted it as the right decision.
"You may rise." King Yama of the North said calmly, "You don't need to be extravagant. Everything will be as usual. For the time being, you don't need to be in charge of anything. Just do your own job. After all, it's inconvenient for you to be the ruler of the Southern Region. It's best to keep a low profile. "
Lin Feng's eyes brightened as his heart skipped a beat.
This was exactly what he wanted.
"Understood." Lin Feng nodded. He looked at King Yama of the North and said seriously, "I still have something to ask. I hope that King Yama can answer me."
Their eyes met. King Yama of the North's golden eyes flashed. "Speak."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He said without hesitation, "I want to know the exact location of the Purple Moon Clan."
King Yama of the North pondered for a while and said, "You should know the rules."
Lin Feng's expression was firm. He said seriously, "Please tell me, King Yama."
King Yama of the North shook his head. "How can you command your subordinates if you are not upright? Even if I knew, I would not tell you." King Yama of the North's words were firm and impartial. Lin Feng frowned and clenched his fists.
King Yama of the North was not lying.
He actually didn't know?!
The hope in his heart instantly disappeared. Lin Feng's face was filled with disappointment, but he was even more anxious.
"Is it very urgent?" King Yama of the North asked.
Lin Feng nodded. He cupped his hands and said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, King Yama. I still have urgent matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first." He had wasted so much time on the 100,000 feet stairway. Now that he did not know Zi Yao's situation, he could not delay any longer.
Things would only get worse and worse!
Before King Yama of the North could reply, Lin Feng turned and was about to leave. However …
"I said that I can't tell you, but … I didn't say that I won't help you." A faint voice sounded behind him.
