Han Feng regretted it; he shouldn't have killed Ling Tinglan so soon.
At least let them give a complete account of what happened; if they're no longer of any use to you, you can kill them later.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo did not die. As the sixth disciple of Tianhuang Daoren, he knew enough things.
Upon seeing Han Feng, the person who had been questioning him, Zhao Kuo was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
The fierce battle between Han Feng and Tianhuang Daoren was witnessed by everyone in the city lord's mansion.
Zhao Kuo no longer dared to treat Han Feng as a ignorant cultivator from the lower realm.
He already believed that Han Feng was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and was very likely a descendant of a true spirit from the Great Wilderness.
Otherwise, who could break through from the late stage of True Immortal to the mid stage of Celestial Immortal in such a short time?
"My lord, spare my life!"
"I was the one who offended you before. Please forgive my petty offense and spare my life."
Zhao Kuo, driven by a strong will to survive, quickly begged for mercy.
"I can spare your life, but I have a few questions for you, and you must tell me everything."
Han Feng could have used the soul-searching method, but he was afraid that a lot of memories would be lost.
"Just ask, sir. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Do you know where the cultivation techniques practiced by your master, Daoist Tianhuang, came from?" Han Feng asked.
"You're talking about the Undying Netherworld Technique, right? It comes from the Undying Netherworld Sea. The Immortal Realm isn't a complete place; there are many forbidden zones of life around it."
"The Undying Nether Sea is one of them. Every five hundred years, it releases countless souls into the Immortal Realm to devour countless living beings."
"The various Immortal Emperors of the Central Immortal Realm will send out many armies to resist the Nether Souls. To put it nicely, they are resisting; to put it bluntly, they are feeding them."
"My master was a member of a powerful clan in Tianyu City in his early years, but his clan was later destroyed by the current city lord of Tianyu City."
"As a celestial city, Tianyu City had to send people out so that Daoist Tianhuang could escape this calamity and head to the Undying Nether Sea."
Zhao Kuo was full of survival instincts and revealed many things.
"Your master was fortunate enough to return from the battlefield and become the city lord of Lihuang City. Along the way, he also obtained one of the volumes of the Undying Netherworld Technique," Han Feng deduced.
"Your Excellency is indeed wise and powerful. Although my master never mentions the Undying Nether Sea, his actions prove that he has gained a lot there," Zhao Kuo quickly echoed.
"I've asked about most of the things, but there's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."
"I will tell you anything that adults want to know, as long as I know it."
Han Feng pressed his hand firmly on Zhao Kuotian's skull and performed a soul search.
Zhao Kuo's many secrets were all exposed to Han Feng.
There were some things Zhao Kuo didn't say, such as that he had also obtained the Starving Ghost Scroll of the Undying Netherworld Technique.
If Han Feng lets him leave, Zhao Kuo will continue his cultivation.
The Undying Netherworld Technique is simply too tempting; not only can one's cultivation level increase rapidly, but it can also condense a powerful physical body.
Han Feng then shattered Zhao Kuo's immortal soul, rendering him foolish and unable to commit evil in the future.
"The Immortal Realm is much more complicated than I imagined."
Han Feng thought that the Immortal Realm was simply a place where immortals lived and could live forever.
It seems that the immortal realm is not as wonderful as imagined; people there also live precarious lives.
Leng Hanmei's methods were quite skillful, and she quickly stabilized the situation in Lihuang City.
Actually, half the credit goes to Tianhuang Daoren. If he hadn't slaughtered all the major families in the city, it really wouldn't have been so easy.
Every family in the desolate city was on edge, fearing that Daoist Tianhuang would strike again.
When Leng Hanmei arrived at the territories of these families, they had already surrendered before she even made a move.
Once the situation in the entire Desolate City stabilized, Leng Hanmei began to cultivate her own power and suppress those who secretly opposed her.
After about half a year, the entire Desolate City was already in her hands.
Some minor incidents occurred, including the fact that two families, who were hiding ancestral figures at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, wanted to turn Lihuang City into their private territory.
Seeing that Leng Hanmei and Hu Qiqing were very beautiful, he wanted to take them as his concubines.
Han Feng had no choice but to kill him and then sent Leng Hanmei to raid the two major families.
These two families are the Chen family and the Xu family, both of which are among the five strongest families in Lihuang City.
These two powerful clans already existed before the city of Lihuang was even established.
The wealth of any one family is several times greater than the treasury of the city lord's mansion.
The Xu family obtained 100,000 low-grade immortal jades from their property raid, and the Chen family obtained 150,000 low-grade immortal jades from their property raid, totaling 250,000 immortal jades.
If 250,000 low-grade immortal jades were converted into top-grade spirit stones, that would amount to 2.5 trillion top-grade spirit stones, enough for two life simulations.
It has to be said that the Immortal Realm is much richer than the Spirit Demon Realm. Just the Desolate City alone is much stronger than the Spirit Demon Realm.
Han Feng took 200,000 low-grade immortal jades and handed the rest over to Leng Hanmei to handle.
The desolate city had just been taken over by Leng Hanmei, and there were many things that required money.
Next, Leng Hanmei drafted a letter of authorization to make the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom recognize her as the city lord.
Han Feng then disappeared and never appeared in front of anyone again.
Whenever people ask who Leng Hanmei's backer is, they only know the name Li Feiyu.
One year later.
"The appointment from the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom has arrived, and I am now a proper city lord."
"You instructed that Zhu Xu become the head of the Zhu family, Cheng Yuzhu become the head of the Cheng family, and Zhao Bufan become the head of the Zhao family, and all of these have been implemented."
"These three, upon learning that I am your friend, have become extremely loyal to me. Now, there is only one voice left to speak for the desolate city."
“All three of them miss you. Why don’t you go and see them?”
No one would have expected that Leng Hanmei, who was usually aloof and arrogant, would be so respectful to a handsome young man.
“All three of them are of good character, so you can entrust the matter to them with confidence.”
"As for meeting, forget it. You should have heard about the Nine Heavens Empress. Her remnants are looking for me."
"If she finds out I'm here, not only will my life be in danger, but everyone around me will also be doomed."
Han Feng shook his head and refused.
"Here are the 100,000 low-grade immortal jades you requested. This represents the entire output of the Desolate City over the past year."
Leng Hanmei took out a storage bag and handed it to Han Feng.
"These 100,000 low-grade immortal jades seem like a lot, but at my current level, they are still just a drop in the ocean."
Han Feng now needs one trillion top-grade spirit stones to simulate his life once.
One low-grade immortal jade is equal to ten million high-grade spirit stones. One trillion high-grade spirit stones are converted into approximately one hundred thousand low-grade immortal jades.
In that year, Han Feng only obtained 300,000 low-grade immortal jades.
In other words, Han Feng can only simulate life three times before he runs out of low-grade immortal jade.
He certainly couldn't just sit idly by and wait for the Immortal Jade income from the desolate city for a year; he had to find a way to increase his Immortal Jade income even more.
