Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 675 - 665: The Heavenly Dao Sect Controls the Empire

Chapter 675: Chapter 665: The Heavenly Dao Sect Controls the Empire

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The patriarch Xiang Yan and the three elders flashed and appeared.

"Welcome, Young Master Feng!" Xiang Yan and the elders quickly clasped their fists respectfully in salute, their expressions filled with excitement.

Gu Chenfeng is a benefactor of the Xiang Family, with a transcendent status and is the strongest practitioner in the Cultivation Realm; the etiquette must not be lacking.

"No need for such courtesy," Gu Chenfeng said with a slight smile, "The cultivation of Patriarch Xiang and the three elders has improved quite a bit."

Xiang Yan happily replied, "It’s all thanks to the Elixirs from the Medicine God Hall that our Xiang Family’s strength has greatly increased, and we owe it all to Young Master Feng."

"Young Master Feng! This is great! We finally awaited your arrival!" Xiang Wentian excitedly rushed out and gave Gu Chenfeng a bear hug.

Xiang Yan immediately scolded, "Tian’Er, do not be discourteous to Young Master Feng."

"It’s no problem," Gu Chenfeng said with a joyful smile, "Between friends, there is no need for such formalities."

"Young Master Feng, I am so envious of you," Xiang Wentian said, incredibly excited, "Now the entire Cultivation Realm is buzzing with stories about you; even the small villages in the Celestial Fire Kingdom know."

"Wiping out the Soul-Devouring Sect, eliminating Penglai Immortal Island, it’s said you also took down the leader of the Demon Race, and then wiped out the Ancient Sect. Most terrifying of all, you are able to slay Immortals! It is simply too powerful!"

"You are now the strongest practitioner in the Cultivation Realm! This speed of cultivation is simply monstrous!"

Seeing the extremely excited Xiang Wentian, Gu Chenfeng said with a happy smile, "As long as you work hard in cultivation, you can become as strong as me."

Xiang Wentian excitedly said, "I have already begun working hard on my cultivation. Just a few days ago, I broke through to the Golden Core Stage; if it weren’t for Young Master Feng’s various legends, I wouldn’t have the desire to cultivate."

"The Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures provided by the Medicine God Hall are enough to boost my cultivation rapidly. Within three years, or perhaps even sooner, I can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Due to Gu Chenfeng’s legendary deeds in the Cultivation Realm, he has deeply influenced Xiang Wentian, whose eyes are filled with the motivation to cultivate, with a strong desire to become stronger.

Gu Chenfeng said with a slight smile, "I came this time to bring you treasures that can increase your cultivation speed by ten times, or even dozens of times."

"Ten times? Dozens of times?" Xiang Wentian’s eyes instantly widened, and he was completely petrified with shock.

Xiang Yan and the elders were also dumbstruck with shock.

This cultivation speed of tenfold or dozens of times, how terrifying would that be?

If true, wouldn’t the Xiang Family rise to greatness?

In their shock,

Xiang Wentian hurriedly exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Feng, is what you said true? Can it really increase my cultivation speed by tenfold or even dozens fold?"

Realizing he was too loud, Xiang Wentian quickly covered his mouth.

"Of course, it’s true," Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile.

"Young Master Feng, this is not the place to talk. Please, inside," Xiang Yan quickly and respectfully said, then gave Xiang Wentian a stern look, clearly blaming him for being too loud.

"Father, wait a moment," Xiang Wentian quickly said in a low voice, "Young Master Feng, the Imperial Grand General visited Celestial Wave City again today. I just felt his spiritual power, but there is another strong aura. Let’s go take a look; your power is so terrifying, you should defeat that Grand General."

"No need to go," Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile, "I’ve already crippled him."

"What? Young Master Feng crippled him?" Xiang Wentian’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Young Master Feng crippled the Grand General?" Xiang Yan and the elders also expressed their shock.

"Yes," Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "The Iron Cavalry and the Black Banner Army, as the empire’s elites, not only failed to protect the people but also rampaged through Celestial Wave City, ignoring the safety of the citizens, so naturally, I had to cripple him."

"So that terrifying aura was Young Master Feng!" Xiang Wentian said with great joy, "Great! It serves him right! This scoundrel is no longer the Imperial Grand General; he is now one of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Someone from the Heavenly Dao Sect?" Gu Chenfeng slightly furrowed his brow and asked in confusion, "What’s going on? Has the empire been taken over by the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

"Young Master Feng, let’s go inside and talk," Xiang Yan quickly and respectfully suggested.

Gu Chenfeng is a great benefactor to the Xiang Family, and they cannot afford the slightest neglect.

Inside the main hall.

Xiang Yan respectfully smiled and said, "Young Master Feng, please sit."

"Thank you, Patriarch Xiang." Gu Chenfeng quickly clasped his fists, then smiled and said, "Wentian, quickly tell me about the empire."

While pouring tea for Gu Chenfeng, Xiang Wentian said, "Young Master Feng, you don’t know. The Heavenly Dao Sect, relying on its strength, has coerced the empire to surrender through force, threatening to kill all royal ministers if they do not submit."

"Young Master Feng also knows, the Celestial Fire Kingdom is just a small, remote country in the Cultivation Realm, not strong at all and unable to compete with powerful sects. Any practitioner at the Integration Stage can run rampant in the empire."

"Due to the threat from the Heavenly Dao Sect, the emperor has repeatedly come to our Xiang Family for help, hoping that our family could invite Young Master Feng to intervene, but disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect and affiliated forces are stationed throughout the empire, so we can’t leave."

"They obviously guessed that the emperor would seek help from our Xiang Family and then turn to Young Master Feng, so they sealed off the empire."

"The emperor, to protect the royal officials, had no choice but to reluctantly submit to the Heavenly Dao Sect. We have also tried to leave the empire multiple times, but all attempts have failed."

"I see," Gu Chenfeng nodded, "I didn’t expect such a large sect like the Heavenly Dao Sect to bully a weak empire."

Xiang Yan continued, "If not for the connection with Young Master Feng, our Xiang Family would have likely been destroyed by the Heavenly Dao Sect. They are afraid of Young Master Feng, so they don’t dare confront us openly."

"Members of the Heavenly Dao Sect have not appeared, but they’ve been using the Grand General to continuously suppress us, using force to sever other forces’ cooperation with us, intending to slowly weaken our Xiang Family."

Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "No wonder the Iron Cavalry and Black Banner Army appeared in Celestial Wave City; they must be targeting the Xiang Family."

"Young Master Feng is right," Xiang Wentian continued, "But they could never have anticipated that the Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which Young Master Feng ordered the Medicine God Hall to send, are making our Xiang Family increasingly strong."

"However, even as strong as the Heavenly Dao Sect, our Xiang Family still remains very weak and can’t compete with them." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Gu Chenfeng softly smiled and said, "The current Heavenly Dao Sect is no longer the former Heavenly Dao Sect. When I wiped out Penglai Immortal Island, both the Heavenly Dao Sect Leader and several elders were killed by me. The present Heavenly Dao Sect cannot be considered a major power."

"What? The Heavenly Dao Sect Leader and elders were killed by Young Master Feng?" Xiang Yan and everyone, including Xiang Wentian, exclaimed in shock, their faces full of astonishment.

"Yes," Gu Chenfeng nodded and then said, "The Steward Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect should know, but the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect may not."

Xiang Yan immediately asked, "Young Master Feng, should we visit the imperial royal family? The emperor dreams of meeting you."

"Very well," Gu Chenfeng slightly nodded.
