118: My hometown dialect sounds so nice

When Xie Yuan heard Chu Feng speak so casually, he couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Chu, the Giants of the Immortal Realm must not be insulted. It's fine if Lady Willow God is close to you."

"But this Heavenly Emperor is mysterious and unfathomable, his might covers the entire world. I don't know what kind of powerful and supreme existence he is."

"If you casually call the Heavenly Emperor by name, and he senses it and just glances at you, you might perish."

Chu Feng was stunned.

Giants of the Immortal Realm must not be insulted?

If I glance at myself, I'll perish?

You haven't even met him, and you're already such a sycophant?

It seems Xie Yuan truly has the potential to be a sycophant.

He waved his hand with a smile, "No, the Heavenly Emperor is as handsome as Yan Zu, he wouldn't be so petty."

Xie Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right! You must maintain reverence for the Giants of the Immortal Realm, praise them, and never slander them. This will help you avoid many unnecessary enemies."

Chu Feng glanced at him. What he said actually made a little sense. He realized this guy's perspective was quite broad.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if he truly became Xuan Wei's sycophant.

Xie Yuan ignored Chu Feng and instead muttered to himself, "As handsome as Yan Zu, is that an idiom from your hometown for praising someone, Brother Chu? I need to learn that. I don't know why, but this hometown dialect sounds quite pleasant."

He mumbled a few sentences, then looked up at Chu Feng: "Hey, Brother Chu!"

He pointed at his face and laughed, "Do I look like Yan Zu?"

Chu Feng: "..."

He realized this guy was truly serious about learning, and was a bit speechless. He reminded him, "Old Xie, you still haven't answered my question."

Question?

Xie Yuan's expression gradually turned serious as he explained to Chu Feng, "The Heavenly Emperor, as the current top of the Immortal King Ranking, naturally receives rewards, and they are immense rewards. However, this Dragon-like figure is rarely seen. Ever since he ascended to the top of the ranking, we've tried many times to contact him, even searching many worlds beyond the realm, but we haven't found any trace of the Heavenly Emperor."

As he spoke, a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. His previous amiable demeanor vanished, replaced by a stern authority: "However, there are many people who deceive the world, impersonating the Heavenly Emperor's name to swindle and deceive people."

"Our Alliance Leader has already issued an order: aside from the Heavenly Emperor himself, anyone within the Immortal Realm who dares to use the Heavenly Emperor's name will receive a warning the first time. The second time — no mercy! The third time — their clan will be annihilated and their realm destroyed!"

Chu Feng looked at Xie Yuan, whose demeanor had changed, and blinked.

Holy cow.

Is this person a natural-born sycophant?

He hasn't even met him, first it's 'Giants of the Immortal Realm must not be insulted,' and now he's even implemented literary inquisition, and it seems there's collective punishment?

You're flattering him so enthusiastically from afar. If I hadn't happened to meet you today, I wouldn't have known something like this was happening in the Immortal Realm.

However, something isn't right here.

Chu Feng couldn't help but remind him, "If there's no mercy the second time, where would a third time come from?"

Xie Yuan glanced at him upon hearing this, and his stern demeanor instantly vanished. He waved his hand casually and said, "Oh, Brother Chu, you don't know how vast the Immortal Realm is. Although the Sword Holding Alliance is the number one power in the Immortal Realm, our manpower is limited."

"Isn't it because we're afraid that some audacious individuals who break the Law, despite knowing it, and are quite powerful, might temporarily evade our Sword Holding Alliance's pursuit?"

"If they're lucky enough to escape and haven't been summarily executed, having the threat of a third time can at least curb this unhealthy trend and reduce our workload."

"Don't even mention it, since I issued this decree, we've only received a few sporadic reports recently. Very few people dare to impersonate the Heavenly Emperor anymore."

Chu Feng: 6!

Are there really people who would risk their lives just to show off?

He didn't question Xie Yuan. As the Alliance Leader of the Sword Holding Alliance, this person had extensive management experience and must have seen too much to come up with such cunning strategies.

Xie Yuan looked at Chu Feng's admiring expression and said proudly, "Brother Chu, how was my aura just now? Did I look like Yan Zu?"

Chu Feng pondered, "A little less than Yan Zu, but you could barely pass for Yu Yan."

"Yu Yan, I can understand that word. Does it mean 'sinking fish and falling geese'? Although that word is used to praise women here, Old Xie, I understand. In your hometown, it must mean something similar to Yan Zu. Brother Chu, you speak so well."

Chu Feng was impressed by Xie Yuan's high emotional intelligence: "Old Xie, you know how to talk. So, how does the Heavenly Emperor claim his reward?"

Xie Yuan pointed upwards: "Oh, let me tell you a secret. Actually, our Sword Holding Alliance can only assist the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao in distributing rewards for ranks beyond the top three on the Immortal King Ranking."

"The top three rewards are too valuable; they must be personally distributed by the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao."

"It's just a pity that the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao can't find the Heavenly Emperor now, and neither can we. So, we can only let nature take its course and wait for the Heavenly Emperor to appear and claim it from the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao himself."

Chu Feng was stunned.

Is the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao blind?

It's normal that the Sword Holding Alliance, with its limited capabilities, can't find him.

But I've been wandering around the Immortal Realm all this time!

They can't find me?

Is it that they can't find me, or are they close to Xuan Wei and don't want to find me?

Chu Feng instantly thought of something.

Perhaps not every Heavenly Dao is like the Mystic Realm Heavenly Dao, understanding what it means to be a wise man who submits to circumstances.

He decided he would properly greet the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao later.

"Um... Brother Chu, have we arrived?"

Xie Yuan looked ahead at the boundless Liu Shen Domain, which was nothing but barren land and wilderness, with occasional sparse Immortal Plants. It had an untouched, wild feel.

Not to mention the respected Lady Willow God, he hadn't even seen a single hair.

Could it be that this Brother Chu has too good an appetite and isn't full yet?

Looking at the thoughtful and leisurely Chu Feng, Xie Yuan maintained a calm and smiling facade, but inwardly, he was a little anxious.

Normally, it wouldn't matter.

Spending more time with a Prodigy like Chu Feng, treating him to a meal, then finding a few exquisite Fairies at the Marvelous Sound Immortal Pavilion to play some music, and fostering some casual camaraderie, wouldn't be out of the question.

But his purpose in coming to Liu Shen Domain this time, besides delivering the Immortal King Ranking reward to Willow God, was another important matter he needed to discuss with her. Not having met the main person yet inevitably made him a little restless.

"Oh?"

Chu Feng heard Xie Yuan's words, glanced at him, and smiled, "We're here."

As his voice fell, the world suddenly shifted.

Xie Yuan maintained his smile, calmly watching the vast emptiness transform into lush greenery, appearing on an Immortal Qi-shrouded mountain.

He saw a plaque hanging not far away, bearing the words "Immortal Abode," exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity.

The aura of this Daoist temple was mysterious, and its main gate was tightly shut.

Around it, ancient trees reached to the sky, and exotic flowers and plants stood in abundance, emitting bursts of clear fragrance.

Xie Yuan's body trembled!

The Immortal Art Brother Chu just used was terrifying.

I couldn't see through it.

Hiss...

His shock hadn't even had time to fully spread before he was drawn to the Daoist temple.

Standing outside the temple, before even stepping in, Xie Yuan felt as if time around him had slowed, and within the tranquility, there were endless profound Laws contained.

This Willow God is unfathomable!

Just looking at this seemingly ordinary Daoist temple, Xie Yuan's heart trembled.

He inexplicably had a misconception that his own home might not compare to this Daoist temple!

One must know, his home was personally arranged by his parents, two Invincible Immortal Kings!

Chu Feng was also a bit surprised; before he left, there weren't so many flashy things in the Daoist temple.

He thought for a moment, and instantly understood, then casually removed the title of White Moonlight.

He stepped forward, walking towards the tightly shut main gate of the Daoist temple.

He raised his hand and pushed.

Xie Yuan's eyelids twitched, watching Chu Feng casually push the door, inexplicably feeling that he was very arrogant.

Creak.

The main gate of the Daoist temple was pushed open, and mottled sunlight slanted down, illuminating a verdant green willow tree.

Xie Yuan's pupils constricted.

A woman in a green dress, exquisitely beautiful, stood quietly beneath the tree.

Her skin, revealed as her skirt swayed, was as white as snow and as smooth as jade, like a goddess stepping out of a painting.

The moment he saw the woman in the green dress, the words "peerless grace" naturally arose in Xie Yuan's mind.

The woman's calm eyes, her gaze passing through the temple gate, were like a sharp sword piercing out. Xie Yuan involuntarily lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Didn't I say not to bother you? Why did you come out again?"

Chu Feng looked at the woman in the green dress, a little helplessly.

Willow God sounded a little wronged, her voice like a heavenly melody: "Husband, I can't always trouble you."
