Chapter 37 Protecting the God-King
The Golden-Winged Roc King coughed up blood, startling his followers. After checking, they found that he was just suffering from a heart attack due to anger and was not seriously injured.
Shi Feng drank his sixth cup of wine: "It seems that not only does Little Peng King need to improve his strength, but he also needs to enhance his mental cultivation. If he can't even accept this setback, then becoming an emperor is just empty talk."
The followers of the Golden-Winged Roc King dared not argue and could only nod silently.
"Well said."
A tall and imposing old man appeared, his body radiating golden light, like a god or a demon.
This old man is none other than the renowned Golden-Winged Roc King, a demon clan expert on par with the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King.
"Greetings, King Peng."
The followers of Little Peng King immediately bowed, feeling extremely uneasy. Little Peng King had been beaten into such a state; they wondered if they would be the target of his anger.
The Golden-Winged Roc King looked at Shi Feng, his eyes sharp but without hostility, offering only a word of praise:
"As expected of the successor of the Azure Emperor, his reputation is well-deserved. It's good for my Peng'er to suffer some hardships, otherwise how can he temper his Dao heart? At least losing to you is better than being killed by an outsider."
With a wave of his hand, he snatched away the Golden-Winged Roc King, which disappeared in a flash of golden light.
"As expected of the Heavenly Roc Extreme Speed."
The little dragon king in green robes exclaimed in admiration, for he couldn't see the old roc king in golden wings' movements at all.
"Indeed, you are the successor of the Azure Emperor?"
A tall and imposing man descended from the sky, looked Shi Feng up and down, and said with great satisfaction, "Thanks to you for saving Tingting, otherwise I would have no face to see Brother Zhe."
The newcomer was named Jiang Yi, ranked ninth among the Thirteen Bandits of the Northern Region. He was a descendant of Jiang Taixu. Jiang Tingting was also from the same lineage as Jiang Taixu and was the great-granddaughter of his elder brother, Jiang Zhe.
He was originally summoned by Shi Feng to reunite with Jiang Tingting, but Shi Feng was in seclusion when he arrived, so this was the first time they had met.
He affectionately put his arm around Shi Feng's shoulder: "As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. I see the potential of a great emperor in you."
Although I do have it, isn't this a bit unlucky to say?
Shi Feng allowed Jiang Yi to lead him into the palace, where a banquet was then held.
Jiang Yi banged on his bowl and laughed loudly, "Come on, let's continue! Keep the music playing and keep dancing!"
Fine wines and delicacies were served in a continuous stream. The people at the table were either cultivators with profound spiritual cultivation or demons with extraordinary talents, whose appetites far exceeded those of ordinary people. For a time, they toasted each other, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
In the midst of the revelry, a group of alluring fairies gracefully stepped forward to perform a dance.
Light gauze dances, like clouds and mist, her graceful figure appearing and disappearing, fragrant and rich, her sweat like dew, the thin gauze revealing her body, her dance is graceful and charming, making people's hearts sway.
After the banquet, Jiang Yi led Shi Feng to a secluded spot, casually set up a soundproof barrier, and, without a trace of alcohol in his eyes, said to Shi Feng with utmost seriousness:
"I am very grateful to you for saving Tingting. I never expected that after I left, the Jiang family would fall so low as to ostracize him and that Jiang Zhe's offspring would be assassinated by a cultivator from the Bitter Sea Realm."
Jiang Zhe was considered a prodigy in his generation, and by the time he was twenty, he had already become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Wilderness.
But in just a few generations, they have declined to this state. Jiang Yi didn't even dare to think about what would have happened to Old Man Jiang and Jiang Tingting if Shi Feng hadn't arrived in time.
Shi Feng didn't take credit: "I just did it on the side; I couldn't stand that kind of guy."
"Well said!"
Jiang Yi slapped his thigh. "I left the Jiang family because I couldn't stand those despicable things. You're just my type. If you ever need anything, just come to me. I always repay kindness."
He stared at Shi Feng, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked:
"I saw you demonstrate the Ji family's Void Great Handprint, Little Peng King's Heavenly Peng Speed, and even the divine form of the Azure Emperor's weapon with supreme techniques. Could those techniques be the legendary Battle Saint Techniques?"
Did you mistake my Kunpeng Treasure Technique for the Tianpeng Technique?
Shi Feng had no intention of correcting him, but instead continued, following Jiang Yi's lead:
"The Jiang family's God King was hailed as the greatest conqueror in five thousand years, relying on his Battle Saint Technique. Since his disappearance, no one has been able to reproduce this wondrous technique. You want to ask me if it is related to the Jiang family's God King, right?"
Jiang Yi's eyes shone brightly as he awaited Shi Feng's answer.
"You are a descendant of King Jiang. Since I wrote to you to let you recognize Jiang Tingting, it is natural that I trust you. King Jiang will probably need your protection in the future."
Shi Fengming said, "Four thousand years ago, King Jiang disappeared because he was trapped in Zishan. I went to Zishan to find the opportunity to meet Master Yuan, rescued him with an imperial weapon, and was taught the secret of the Dou character by him."
However, after four thousand years of torment, he was nearing the end of his life. Although I used the divine spring to replenish his strength, it was still a drop in the ocean. Now he has secretly returned to the Jiang family, hoping to live another life.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Yi was somewhat excited. "No wonder I received a letter from the Jiang family a while ago. The letter was vague and seemed to be testing me. They even wanted to meet me."
I made some inquiries and found out that the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Jiang Family Divine City was recently opened and then secretly sealed off. I don't know who is using it.
Looking back now, it seems that the God-King was recuperating there, and the letter from the Holy Master of the Jiang family was a test to see if I was willing to protect the God-King.
Although the Jiang family did not launch a large-scale attack on Zishan to rescue Jiang Taixu this time, secrets can still be kept forever, and news inevitably leaked out, attracting the attention of others.
Jiang Taixu was a renowned figure who had offended many people, and many did not want him to come back to life.
The Jiang family and Hengyu Furnace are in the open. If Jiang Yi could borrow the Devouring Demon Jar and hide in the shadows, it might become the deciding factor in the outcome of the battle.
However, Jiang Yi had rebelled against the Jiang family for too long and harbored resentment towards the current main branch of the Jiang family. The Holy Master of the Jiang family was also unsure of Jiang Yi's current thoughts, so he planned to meet him in person.
"There's no time to lose. I need to hurry and meet with the Holy Master of the Jiang family to discuss protecting the God King. I also need to borrow the Devouring Demon Jar from Seventh Brother."
The "Seventh Brother" he mentioned was Tu Tian, the seventh of the Thirteen Great Bandits.
The body of the Devouring Demon Jar was found near the Tu Tianyun Broken Mountain Range.
Yes, he found half of an ultimate imperial weapon while walking down the street!
Shi Feng pondered, "Do you think the Holy Master of the Jiang family would bring the Hengyu Furnace with him when he meets you?"
"How would I know?"
Jiang Yi said, "I haven't had any contact with those guys for a long time. I don't know what they'll do. Maybe they'll bring it."
"Count me in."
Shi Feng said, "I want to see the Hengyu Furnace."
"You wouldn't be thinking of using the Battle Saint Technique to evolve the divine form of the Eternal Furnace, would you?"
Jiang Yi said, "I don't think he'll agree. The current main branch is very stingy."
Shi Feng could tell that he harbored deep resentment towards the Jiang family.
Jiang Yi acted quickly, first sending a letter to the Holy Master of the Jiang family, agreeing to meet, and proposing to bring Shi Feng along.
After that, he went to borrow the Devouring Demon Jar from Tu Tian, which can be described as swift and decisive.
After receiving confirmation from the Holy Lord of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi immediately took Shi Feng there, and for Shi Feng's safety, the Peacock King also went to protect him.
