Although Feng Hao hadn't been in the Emperor's Residence for long, he could tell from the rumors that the Nandou Prefecture was no less powerful than the Emperor's Residence.
Therefore, he understood why Dongfang Zheng wanted him to make the decision.
He couldn't ignore the fact that his father, Feng Chen, had been kidnapped. However, if the two forces fought because of this, the Emperor's Residence wouldn't be able to suppress the Nandou Prefecture. The chaos would be a great blow to the human race.
After all, the Nandou Prefecture was no less powerful than the Emperor's Residence. Once they were eliminated, it would be akin to cutting off an arm of the human race.
"Lord Protector, how powerful is the Nandou Prefecture?"
Fenghao pondered for a moment, pursed his lips, and asked.
"The Nandou Prefecture is located in the southwest of the human territory. Currently, the population of the Nandou Prefecture is more than three hundred million …"
Dongfang Zheng didn't hide anything and directly told him some secret information.
"Rumor has it that the current chief of the Nandou Prefecture has a mysterious constitution that is no less powerful than the Nandou Divine Body. His strength is unfathomable. Thousands of years ago, he defeated the previous chief and quickly expanded the Nandou Prefecture's territory. In just a few thousand years, the Nandou Prefecture has grown dozens of times stronger … It's obvious that the current chief is an ambitious person. He won't be satisfied with just a small corner."
"Oh …"
Hearing this, Feng Hao felt a headache coming on and frowned deeply.
He had just promised the God of Nothingness to protect the human race. Was he going to kill hundreds of millions of people now?
Moreover, the Emperor's Residence didn't have the power to do so. Even if they gathered all the forces in the Primordial World, it would be a lose-lose situation.
"What about the Poison God Prefecture and the Deathly God Prefecture?"
After a moment of silence, Feng Hao asked again.
These two prefectures were no weaker than the Nandou Prefecture in terms of background.
"Sigh …"
Dongfang Zheng sighed softly and explained, "Although the Poison God Prefecture is powerful, they still respect poison. Therefore, their numbers are limited. Currently, they only have a few tens of thousands of people … As for the Deathly God Prefecture, they are hidden from the world. As for their numbers, I'm afraid they are even fewer than the Poison God Prefecture."
"The gap is so big."
Feng Hao also felt a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he felt relieved.
Indeed, the Poison God Manor worshipped poison, and if one wasn't a poison master, it was unlikely that one would be able to enter the Poison God Manor. Besides, the Poison God Manor would rather have nothing than substandard people, so they wouldn't accept ordinary people unless they were truly talented.
There was no need to mention the Godly Exterminator Palace. They lived in seclusion for many years. Only some of the older generation would go out to look for a successor. Naturally, there weren't many of them. It was said that when the Godly Exterminator Palace was at its peak, it only had a hundred thousand members.
Thousands of years ago, the Nandou Prefecture was just a prefecture, and the human race only had a few hundred thousand people. Now, however, they were expanding their territory and taking control of some cities. That was why they had such an astronomical number of people.
"Lord Protector, what do you think is the most appropriate way to handle this?"
Feng Hao reached out and pinched his forehead as he asked Dongfang Zheng in distress.
"This …"
Dongfang Zheng frowned. He was a little troubled. "Do you really want me to say it?"
"Yes."
Feng Hao nodded.
His father must be saved, but he wanted to deal with this matter at the lowest cost. Otherwise, he didn't want to see the entire human race in chaos.
"The current Nandou Prefecture Master is ambitious. He wants to push the Mortal Emperor Manor down and ascend to the Elysium. This is something that everyone knows … So, no matter what we do to him, the Nandou Prefecture will use this as an excuse to suppress the Mortal Emperor Manor, which will lead to a large-scale war …"
After a pause, seeing that Feng Hao's expression didn't change much, Dongfang Zheng continued, "So, the best solution is … the Elysium has a rule that no race from any domain can intervene in the Sky Martial Continent. Otherwise, the Elysium will do everything it can to annihilate them. With this rule in place, it shouldn't be a problem to protect the Feng Clan … As for your father, I've already ordered Dean Wan to send imperial guards to secretly rescue him …"
"Thank you, Lord Protector."
Feng Hao cupped his hands towards Dongfang Zheng and thanked him. There was still a faint trace of sadness on his face.
In short, all of this was because his cultivation was too weak. If he was already at the peak of the Saint realm, as long as he announced his identity to the world, he could directly disintegrate the territory controlled by the Nandou Prefecture. He only needed to deal with the core members of the Nandou Prefecture, and he wouldn't need to worry about causing a huge commotion.
However, his current strength wasn't enough. If he announced his identity, the foreign races that had a deep grudge against the human race would definitely attack the Elysium. At that time, he wouldn't have the ability to protect himself, and it would bring a huge disaster to the Mortal Emperor Manor and even the human race.
"That's what I should do …"
Dongfang Zheng still had a bitter smile on his face. He lowered his voice and asked, "If the rescue doesn't succeed, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"This …"
A sharp killing intent flashed across Fenghao's eyes. He could not help but feel a little restless and his breathing also became a little hurried. He closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "I believe that the Nandou Mansion's target is me. Before they get rid of me, nothing should happen to my father …"
As he spoke, his tone was very heavy. He clenched his fists so tightly that a muffled thunder could be heard.
At this moment, the Nandou Prefecture's actions had undoubtedly touched his reverse scale. There was no need for such a force to exist, even if it was a giant of the human race.
However, he didn't have that kind of ability at the moment, so he had to endure it.
"It's good that you can think this way."
Hearing this, Dongfang Zheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He had been worried for a long time. Then, he said, "Even if the plan doesn't succeed this time, I will still send people to infiltrate the Nandou Prefecture. First, it will be to wait for an opportunity to rescue your father. Second, it will be to find out the Nandou Prefecture's background. At that time, we can destroy the Nandou Prefecture in one fell swoop with the lowest price."
In fact, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart.
After all, the Nandou Celestial God was also one of the pillars of the human race. Wiping out his bloodline at this time was actually a loss for the entire human race.
He also didn't understand why the Nandou Prefecture would do anything to deal with the Mortal Emperor Manor.
"Yes."
Feng Hao nodded slightly. A sharp light flashed across his eyes again. He said coldly, "I want to return to the Tianwu Continent."
