Tie San took the storage bag given to him by the Song family patriarch and headed towards the desolate city.

Huangyuan City originally wanted to take revenge on Han Feng, but when he saw Tianyu City exchanging immortal jade for people, he followed suit.

They have greater support behind the desolate city; otherwise, the powerful Tianyu City would have chosen to compromise.

Tianyu City and Huangyuan City each gave 500,000 low-grade immortal jades, and Han Feng personally escorted them out of the city.

“I originally intended to keep you here for a while, but a beast tide is about to break out nearby, and our defenses are not as good as your two cities.”

"Since your family also wants you to go back, I will not stop you anymore. I wish you a safe journey and hope you don't get lost along the way."

Han Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"As the saying goes, 'Even after a thousand miles of escorting someone, we must eventually part ways.' Senior Li, you can stop here."

Bai Wei was quite anxious, fearing that Han Feng might change his mind at the last minute.

“Senior Li, there’s no need to see us off any further. As the true city lord of Lihuang City, you must have many things to handle every day. We can walk on our own.”

“When Daoist Tianhuang was in charge of Lihuang City, it was not even half as good as when Senior Li was in charge. Now, the entire Lihuang City can be described as thriving.”

"Senior Li not only has unique skills in managing the Immortal City, but he is also unmatched in cultivation. I have a feeling that Senior Li will be able to break through in the near future."

...

It wasn't just Bai Wei who was panicking; the other seven people were also in a panic.

During their time with Han Feng, they discovered that he was a ruthless and cruel person.

They were genuinely afraid that Han Feng would change his mind at the last minute and prevent them from leaving.

"hypocritically!"

Song Jiajia murmured softly beside her.

Han Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Why do I hear some discordant voices? Is someone not very moved by this farewell?"

"Of course we dare to move!" Song Jiajia trembled in fright.

"What!" Han Feng's eyes turned cold.

"I dare not move! I dare not move!!"

Song Jiajia quickly changed her words.

"ah?"

"Dare to move! Dare to move!"

"It seems Miss Song is quite reluctant to leave the desolate city. Why don't you stay a few more days?"

"No! I know I was wrong."

...

Song Jiajia was really about to cry. Why did she have to provoke Han Feng in the first place?

Han Feng exchanged pleasantries with everyone again before letting the eight people go.

These eight people must be released; otherwise, the two great immortal cities might become desperate and act rashly.

Han Feng returned to Lihuang City, explained some things to Leng Hanmei, and then went into seclusion in a secret chamber.

With the beast tide approaching, Leng Hanmei sealed off the entire immortal city.

Han Feng calculated the amount he had obtained from extorting the two immortal cities, and found that he had acquired a total of 2 million low-grade immortal jades.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this would be enough to advance his cultivation to the Golden Immortal level.

Compared to the lower realm of spirits and demons, the laws of heaven and earth in the immortal realm are more lenient, making it easier to break through.

Han Feng simulated the process fifteen times in a row, and on the fifteenth time, his cultivation level broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

He did not break through in the Desolate City, but went to the Great Wilderness to break through.

Whether it was due to the beast tide or not, many demonic beasts, knowing he was undergoing the tribulation of becoming a Golden Immortal, still rushed towards him.

These demonic beasts were struck dead by lightning without Han Feng having to lift a finger.

Three months later, Han Feng broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Although there is only one major realm difference between Golden Immortals and Celestial Immortals, there is a fundamental difference between them.

Golden immortals are surrounded by golden rings, which help them control the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

As its cultivation level continues to improve, the golden ring will undergo a transformation.

When one's cultivation reaches the Immortal Emperor realm, these golden rings transform into planets, revolving around them.

After Han Feng broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, he also felt the power of the Golden Immortals.

He now felt that the method of immortality was already incredibly powerful, enabling him, a late-stage Celestial Immortal, to fight against an early-stage Golden Immortal.

Han Feng returned to the desolate city, where a pile of monster corpses had already accumulated outside.

Under Leng Hanmei's orders, the group disposed of the monster's corpse.

During this period, they were unable to leave the desolate city and had to rely on monsters for food.

Nearly a million people live in the deserted city, most of whom are ordinary people and still need food.

Furthermore, the customs of the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Demon Realm are different. In the Spirit Demon Realm, there is the Heavenly Demon Sect, and many behaviors of eating demon beasts are prohibited.

If someone dares to eat a demon beast that is about to transform into human form, they may even be hunted down by the Heavenly Demon Sect.

In the Spirit Realm, many cultivators stop eating once they reach a certain level of cultivation.

If ordinary people eat too much of their own food, it only adds to their burden.

In the Immortal Realm, there are fewer restrictions. Several Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm were originally demon beasts.

But the Immortal Realm is simply too vast for them to manage.

Furthermore, many early Immortal Emperors grew up eating demonic beasts, which incurred public wrath.

Moreover, the immortal emperor who was transformed from a demon beast had consumed no fewer demon beasts than humans in his early years.

"You're finally back."

When Leng Hanmei saw Han Feng, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, Han Feng was not in the city, and she didn't sleep very well.

Being a complete stranger in the immortal realm, his only support was Han Feng.

"How have you been lately?" Han Feng asked.

“Aside from the beast tide that came, everything else is the same as before. I now have complete control over the city, I know it like the back of my hand,” Leng Hanmei replied.

"After another wave of beast tides, there should be two more waves rushing towards our immortal city."

"That's not right. Normally, the area around the desolate city is remote, and there should only be two waves of beasts."

"You're talking about the situation that only occurred when we gave the two immortal cities immortal jade. Now that we've offended two great immortal cities, there will be more than two waves of beast tides."

"You mean the beast tide can be controlled?"

Leng Hanmei was taken aback.

"Let me first explain to you why a beast tide occurs."

Han Feng told Leng Hanmei everything he knew from the life simulation.

The reason why so many monsters gathered together to form a beast tide was mainly because the monsters had multiplied too much and there was not enough food.

When they can't find food in the wilderness, they will attack the surrounding immortal cities.

There are intelligent beings among the monsters, and they will make arrangements with the two nearby immortal cities.

How much food will the two immortal cities have to contribute, and how many demonic beasts will die?

"If you follow that logic, then the destruction of every immortal city in the vicinity is traceable."

Leng Hanmei became the de facto city lord of Lihuang City, and she did a lot of preparation during this time.

"Over the years, the immortal cities destroyed by the beast tides were basically those that had a grudge against two immortal cities. I remember one of them was Immortal Cry City."

"Xianming City has always been the largest in the vicinity, but unfortunately it fell to the beast tide. Of the ten Golden Immortals, not one survived."

"Furthermore, after the destruction of Xianming City, Tianyu City and Huangyuan City arrived recently and each took over all the remaining resources of Xianming City."

"The subsequent beast tides seem to be developing exactly as the two immortal cities had planned; anyone who has a grudge against them will perish."

Han Feng nodded and said, "I have seen these documents. The reason why Tianhuang Daoist was still so hesitant and submissive in front of Tianyu City even after being away from Huangcheng for so long, and did not even dare to reveal his identity back then, is precisely because of this."
