Li Haishan explained, "Emperor Ling, I know you feel angry because I hold all the power in my hands, making you more like a puppet, but I have no choice."
"But there's nothing I can do. The patriarch has asked me to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Great Spirit Dynasty. He will make arrangements once he has thought everything through. Don't worry, I will definitely talk to the patriarch properly before he makes a decision."
"How about we try to get the patriarch to hand over the reins of the Great Spirit Dynasty to you as well?"
Han Feng shook his head and said, "No, I have no interest in the Great Spirit Dynasty. I only want to run my own Great Spirit Merchant Guild."
He had experienced life simulations and knew that Li Long would discard him after he had served his purpose.
Li Long sent his eldest son to steal the Spirit Emperor, who was played by Han Feng as "Li Zhen".
This eldest son was particularly wicked; he removed the titles of "Li Zhen" and "Li Lingqi Linghuang" and made himself the second emperor of the Great Ling Dynasty.
To discard a donkey after it has served its purpose—that's a masterful execution.
When Han Feng took over, he felt sorry for Li Lingqi and did not erase Li Lingqi's achievements.
When Li Long's eldest son arrived, he erased all of Li Lingqi's merits.
Anyone who mentions Li Lingqi, the current Spirit Emperor, is considered to be opposing him.
If even the founding emperor Li Lingqi suffered such a tragic fate, one can only imagine how miserable the Linghuang Emperor, played by Han Feng as "Li Zhen," must have been.
Han Feng's Spirit Emperor status was almost nonexistent and was quickly forgotten.
Seeing everything that happened in the life simulation, Han Feng wondered how he could continue being the Spirit Emperor.
There is a five-hundred-year timeframe; he can intercept and kill Li Long's eldest son halfway there.
He had used this method many times and could be said to be quite proficient at it.
Later, he thought about it and gave up; this approach wasn't particularly effective.
Even a genius like Li Lingqi was completely suppressed by Li Long.
In terms of intelligence, Li Long is definitely smarter.
Han Feng may have just killed Li Long's eldest son, and Li Long will likely send more people over.
Even if he can kill wave after wave, he will eventually be unable to stop them.
Furthermore, there's Li Haishan, this loyal old servant, who acts as an inside agent for the Great Spirit Dynasty.
In the end, it's Han Feng who will die.
Han Feng felt that operating the Great Spirit Merchant Guild was the safest option, and initially relied on the Great Spirit Divine Dynasty.
After operating for a period of time, the Great Spirit Merchant Guild will become powerful enough to completely break free from the Great Spirit Dynasty.
Five hundred years is enough time; it's enough for Han Feng to develop the Great Spirit Merchant Guild into a behemoth.
At that time, even Li Long's eldest son couldn't control Han Feng.
Han Feng's move was a decisive blow; he not only gained legal status but also his own power base.
"Oh well."
Li Haishan was a cunning old fox; he understood Li Zhen's intentions perfectly well.
Actually, there were some things he didn't say. The head of the family, Li Long, wanted his eldest son to come and inherit the throne.
However, the eldest son is in a critical period of cultivation and is about to break through to the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.
Several hundred years later, Li Long's eldest son will arrive.
At that time, Li Zhen must abdicate and pass the throne to his elder brother.
Li Haishan felt that Li Zhen might have guessed something and wanted to prepare a backup plan in advance.
He felt this was understandable; if Li Zhen was capable, he should prepare a backup plan for himself.
"Elder, it's best if you can come to a decision. Let's continue the auction."
Han Feng had already prepared for the worst.
If Li Haishan cannot be persuaded, he can only use the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Even though he has now broken through to the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, Li Haishan is still very hypnotic.
However, there is a big problem: whether the Defenders Sect can perceive the Great Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Han Feng did not have the Six Paths of Reincarnation before, and was locked by the Defender Sect.
He feared that if he used the Six Paths of Reincarnation on Li Haishan, the Defender Sect would immediately detect it.
Hypnotizing Li Haishan is secondary; what's truly alarming is if he discovers the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Dao Domain Emperor has always attached great importance to the Six Paths Great World, fearing that the Dao Domain would be absorbed by the people of the Six Paths Great World.
If Han Feng is discovered, he will definitely lose his identity and face endless pursuit.
Li Haishan nodded helplessly and said, "Let's go with Linghuang's suggestion. However, I think it's not too bad for Linghuang to exchange a weapon of the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm for a top-grade Dao Jade."
"This Dao Jade is quite good, but compared to Dao materials, the difference is still huge. Generally, cultivators only use Dao Jade when they don't have Dao materials."
Han Feng shook his head and said, "I auctioned Dao artifacts at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm mainly to make a name for myself. I don't care how much I can sell them for."
He couldn't possibly tell Li Haishan the truth; it wouldn't do him any good.
Li Haishan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, what do you think about it? If I could participate in the auction and use Dao Jade to bid for this late-stage Xuan Tian Realm Dao Artifact, would that be acceptable?"
Han Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course that's fine. We don't shy away from recommending people based on their own merits. If you have enough Dao Jade to buy this late-stage Xuan Tian Realm defensive Dao artifact, I won't say anything."
The reason Li Haishan was in such a hurry to find me was because he wanted to participate in the final auction.
Li Haishan's cultivation level was at the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, and he also gained his cultivation through worshipping gods.
He's basically at this level; it's impossible for him to break through.
Since Li Haishan's own cultivation level could not be improved, he placed more importance on external things.
If he could buy this late-stage Xuan Tian Realm defensive artifact, his strength would increase significantly.
Not to mention that his combat strength is comparable to the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, he is certainly capable of reaching the mid-stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Haishan's face showed joy.
"Let's go to the auction next."
Han Feng nodded.
At the auction.
The audience was noisy and incredibly disruptive.
"The Great Spirit Merchant Guild can't afford to play this game. They just said they would use Dao Jade to auction this late-stage Profound Heaven Realm Dao Artifact, but now they've suddenly stopped the auction. They're definitely unwilling to do so."
“I risked exposing my identity and enduring humiliation to bring so many Dao Jade. If the Great Spirit Merchant Guild doesn’t auction this Dao artifact, I’ll tear this place down.”
"The Great Spirit Merchant Guild has already made its statement. If it doesn't follow through, it will be difficult to recover. In the future, the Great Spirit Merchant Guild can forget about establishing itself in the Central Region."
"Just now I was an admirer of the Great Spirit Merchant Guild, but now that they're not selling this artifact, I'm immediately a detractor. I'm going to spread this news throughout the entire Central Region."
"Great Spirit Merchant Guild, give me a straight answer quickly. If you sell, I'll continue the auction; if you don't, I'm leaving."
......
Everyone urged the Great Spirit Merchant Guild to start the auction immediately.
"Please calm down, everyone. His Majesty is just discussing matters with the Grand Elder. This artifact may still be available for sale."
Zhu Yafei panicked.
"Stop trying to fool us, get the Spirit Emperor out here right now."
"Our patience is limited; you can't fool us."
"I'll wait a few more minutes. If the Spirit Emperor still hasn't appeared, I'll leave."
...
The crowd roared angrily.
