623 They’re Here!

“Forget it, forget it. If we must compare ourselves to the Grand Emperor of Annihilation, I’m afraid we’d all be too ashamed to live…”

Grand Emperor Scorpius smiled weakly and shook his head. He had long given up on competing with Lin Feng. In the past, he only knew that Lin Feng was extraordinarily talented and could fight against Grand Emperors as a Venerable. He would definitely become a Grand Emperor in the future, and might even become a top-notch Grand Emperor!

But from the looks of it, a top-notch Grand Emperor was nothing. Perhaps Lin Feng really had a chance of becoming a Divine King!

A Divine King. Even Grand Emperor Scorpius could only look up to such a great entity. In the entire North River Galaxy, there was only one North River Divine King.

“Sheng’er, go back and consolidate your realm. The planetary level is a very important realm. It can also be said that your path of cultivation has just begun.”

Lin Sheng nodded. He had already sensed the wonders of all kinds of planetary lifeforms. Some time was indeed necessary to study and consolidate them.

Lin Feng, Grand Emperor Scorpius, and Venerable Vigil flew back to the Guardian Planet. Qu Chen, Lin Xin, and the Lin family were also very happy to see Lin Feng return.

Lin Feng received a brief overview on the situation on Planet Guardian and nodded in satisfaction. The foundation of Planet Guardian was insufficient. It was already very impressive that it could develop to this stage.

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, Venerable Vigil, it’s all thanks to your care for the Guardian Domain over the years.”

Lin Feng expressed his sincere gratitude to Venerable Vigil and Grand Emperor Scorpius, especially Grand Emperor Scorpius. He was a dignified Grand Emperor who had guarded the Guardian Planet attentively for decades, just to teach a disciple with merely five life transitions.

Everyone knew that it was because of Lin Feng!

“It’s just a small matter. Back then, the Grand Emperor of Annihilation restrained a few Grand Emperors alone and allowed me to leave safely. That is a life debt. I’m truly ashamed…”

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, you’re too kind. Back then, I was also confident that I could leave. You don’t have to blame yourself. You and I don’t have to stand on ceremony around each other either. Just call me Lin Feng.”

“Haha, all right then. Like Venerable Vigil, I’ll call you Brother Lin Feng too.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius also laughed heartily. The two of them became closer.

Lin Feng also felt that Grand Emperor Scorpius was someone worth befriending. He actually did not have many good friends. Currently, there were only Grand Emperor Scorpius and Venerable Vigil. Perhaps Grand Emperor Long Yuan could be considered one of them.

There were only a few of them. It was not easy to obtain Lin Feng’s acknowledgment.

“By the way, Brother Lin Feng, do you still remember Grand Emperor Igneous?”

“Grand Emperor Igneous? Of course I remember him.”

Lin Feng had not forgotten that Grand Emperor Igneous was a potential threat that had always been hiding in the dark, and might erupt at any moment.

“You once asked me to pay attention to any signs of Grand Emperor Igneous. After careful investigation, I really found traces of Grand Emperor Igneous.”

“Where is he?”

“In the North River Galaxy. However, Igneous is really forbearing. He’s serving a Grand Emperor. It’s very troublesome.”

“Who is it?”

“Grand Emperor North Mountain! I don’t know why Igneous joined Grand Emperor North Mountain, but he’s under the command of Grand Emperor North Mountain and works for Grand Emperor North Mountain. Heh, do you know what the outside world says about him? He’s a dignified Grand Emperor, yet he’s willing to become Grand Emperor North Mountain’s lackey. He’s practically like a servant. Tsk tsk, I’m quite impressed by this Igneous, but I’m well aware that Igneous must be scheming something big if he’s being so forbearing. In particular, he’s very likely targeting Brother Lin Feng.”

“Grand Emperor North Mountain? What a coincidence.”

Lin Feng then briefly explained his encounter with North Mountain Jag when he returned to the North River Galaxy.

“No matter why Igneous is enduring it, I have to pay a visit to Grand Emperor North Mountain. Grand Emperor Scorpius, you’ve been in the North River Galaxy for so many years. Do you know the background of North Mountain? Is he a fiend?”

Grand Emperor Scorpius frowned and said, “If it’s really Grand Emperor North Mountain, I’m afraid we’ll be in trouble. I’ve been in the North River Galaxy for so many years, so I’ve naturally learned of some news. It’s rumored that Grand Emperor North Mountain younger brother, North Mountain Jag, is a fiend. Many Grand Emperors disdain him. However, no one attacked because they were afraid of Grand Emperor North Mountain. It’s not just because Grand Emperor North Mountain is powerful, but also because of the close relationship between Grand Emperor North Mountain and the North River Divine King.”

“They’re really related?”

“It should be true. As far as I know, Grand Emperor North Mountain is a registered disciple of the North River Divine King!”

Hearing this, Lin Feng fell silent as well. It was indeed a little troublesome if things involve the North River Divine King. Although he was strong, he was not a match for the Divine King. If he faced the Divine King, he would probably have no choice but to retreat for the time being.

Of course, it was impossible for a Divine King to kill Lin Feng. He had the ultimate Law of Space, and he was not weak. With combat power comparable to a 10,000-light-year combat body, escaping would not be a problem.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Feng would not fight with a Divine King. He could escape, but the Guardian Domain could not move away.

“It’s fine. The North River Divine King and Grand Emperor North Mountain are separate individuals! If he’s really a fiend, I’ll definitely kill him! I believe the North River Divine King will not really make things difficult for me.”

Fiends were loathed by everyone in the universe. No Divine King would openly support fiends. Moreover, it was not as if there was no one behind Lin Feng. He was a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond, presided over by Divine King Bemond!

“That’s right. Brother Lin Feng has Divine King Bemond behind him. Even the North River Divine King has to be wary.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius laughed. He was not worried about Lin Feng.

“By the way, there’s one more thing. Apart from teaching Lin Sheng, there’s another reason why I’ve been guarding the Guardian Domain all these years. I sense that someone is spying on the Guardian Domain. Moreover, it’s definitely not an ordinary cultivator. I suspect that it’s Grand Emperor Igneous!”

“Grand Emperor Igneous?”

Lin Feng thought for a moment. That was really possible. In order to avenge Grand Emperor Guxi, Grand Emperor Igneous could even endure humiliation and join Grand Emperor North Mountain. Targeting the Guardian Domain was only to be expected.

“That’s my oversight. Thank you very much, Grand Emperor Scorpius!”

Lin Feng stood up and bowed respectfully to Grand Emperor Scorpius.

“No need, no need…”

Grand Emperor Scorpius did not expect Lin Feng to bow formally to him. From this, it was evident how important Guardian Domain was to Lin Feng. There were not many things that were of concern to Lin Feng now. The Guardian Domain was the most important thing. It was his Achilles’ heel that no one was allowed to touch.

“It’s unrealistic for Grand Emperor Scorpius to keep guarding this place forever. You still have the Scorpius Domain to oversee. Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to the North Mountain Domain, not just for North Mountain Jag’s incident, but also for Grand Emperor Igneous.”

Lin Feng said calmly. He could not leave any hidden dangers behind. Grand Emperor Igneous would always be a threat.

“The North Mountain Domain is not easy to break through. Although Brother Lin Feng can fight against Grand Emperors, Grand Emperor North Mountain is a top-notch Grand Emperor with extraordinary strength. If Brother Lin Feng really wants to go, bring me along. At least I can still help to deal with the Igneous.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius did not know that Lin Feng had already become a Grand Emperor. He thought that Lin Feng was only a Venerable. However, even so, when Lin Feng wanted to go to the North Mountain Domain and face a top-notch Grand Emperor, Grand Emperor Scorpius was still willing to take the risk with him. This made Lin Feng very gratified.

At least, he had not misjudged him!

“Huh?”

Lin Feng was about to say something when he suddenly raised his head and looked into the cosmos.

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, it seems like we don’t have to go to the North Mountain Domain anymore…”

“There’s no need to go?”

Grand Emperor Scorpius did not seem to have discovered anything unusual, so his tone was very confused.

“That’s right, there’s no need to go. That’s because they’re already here…”

“They’re here?”

At this moment, an earth-shattering aura suddenly rose in the cosmos. The expressions of Grand Emperor Scorpius and Venerable Vigil changed drastically, and they immediately looked towards the cosmos, following the direction of Lin Feng’s gaze.

“Let’s go and welcome our guests!”

Lin Feng’s tone was very even, but his gaze gradually turned icy.
