The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 167 The Great Luo Domain Lord

"Currently, Tianfeng Pavilion earns tens of thousands annually. If we add the offerings from Yuehun Sect and other affiliated cities, the total should be around thirty thousand."

Qianxuan began to describe the current situation of Tianfeng Pavilion, his face filled with excitement and his eyes full of respect for Ye Feng.

Tianfeng Pavilion was built from scratch in less than a year, and after the Great Luo Heaven Domain Conquest ends, Tianfeng Pavilion will surely be able to expand again and increase its profits once more.

"With territory and domain, we will not lack Supreme Spiritual Liquid. After this war of conquest, the Great Luo Heaven Domain will not go to war with the Hundred Battle Domain for a long time. This is a good opportunity for us to develop."

Ye Feng nodded slightly and chuckled.

The 30,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids that Qianxuan mentioned each year are the Supreme Spirit Liquids left over after deducting the daily turnover of Tianfeng Pavilion and the offerings from Cangxuan and others. All of them are at his personal disposal.

Thirty thousand a year, a steady stream of income—just thinking about it is exciting.

With a stable source of income, even if future cultivation is difficult, it won't be too dire.

However, the territory currently under the control of Tianfeng Pavilion has shrunk somewhat due to the war of conquest in the Great Luo Heaven Domain, compared to the last time it cooperated with Xuan Gu Palace, which is far from enough.

"What is the current state of the territories left behind after the destruction of the Xuan Gu Palace and Wan Lei City?"

Ye Feng composed himself and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, after the destruction of the Xuan Gu Palace and Wan Lei City, most of the territory under their control was in a state of no master. Many forces took advantage of the chaos to rise up, including people from other parts of the Hundred Battle Domain. Most of them had people from other forces."

Cang Xuan cupped his hands and answered Ye Feng.

The conquest of the Great Luo Heaven Domain can only bring temporary benefits; this vast land is the key to producing the Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

Now that such a large area of ​​unclaimed land exists, it's hard to guarantee that forces outside this region won't be tempted to try and get a share.

Ye Feng nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Qian Xuan.

"Qianxuan, how many troops can Tianfeng Pavilion mobilize now?"

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, the Lingfeng Guard currently has four thousand men, all of whom are elites at the Three Heavens Realm or above. Among them, four hundred have overcome the physical body challenge, two hundred have overcome the spiritual power challenge, sixty have overcome the divine soul challenge, and two are at the Supreme Realm."

"In addition, the two Supreme Lords, Mo Cheng and Chen Duanjin, can also mobilize thousands of troops."

After the war of conquest of the Great Luo Heaven Domain ended, the Cangxuan Supreme surrendered, and the Cangxuan Army under his command was directly dispersed and returned to the Lingfeng Guard.

This directly led to a surge in the strength of Lingfeng Guard, which also made him somewhat overwhelmed. Fortunately, the original commander of Cangxuan Army was a supreme being, who could share some of the burden with him.

"Four thousand people, that's quite a lot—"

Ye Feng nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Pass down the order: starting today, Tianfeng Pavilion shall fully take over the vacant territories left behind by Xuan Gu Hall and Wan Lei City. Those who have been fickle since they pledged allegiance to Tianfeng Pavilion shall be completely expelled from this region."

"If other forces obstruct us, we'll set that aside for now. We'll deal with them after I break through to the Fourth Rank Supreme!"

"yes!"

Everyone accepted the order in unison, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

With the talent and potential of their leader, it might not be long before Tianfeng Pavilion becomes a force comparable to established powers like Wanjian Valley.

It's good to take shelter under a big tree. The stronger their pavilion master is, the better their treatment will be as the Tianfeng Pavilion grows.

In the following month, Tianfeng Pavilion swiftly took over the vast territories left behind by Xuan Gu Hall and Wan Lei City with lightning speed.

Most of the forces either surrendered or left the area in the face of the Tianfeng Pavilion's army, without causing much of a stir.

Only some cities, such as Youdu City and Guiyun City, have not yet been attacked by Tianfeng Pavilion.

Even so, Tianfeng Pavilion's influence soared in a short time, and with the spread of Ye Feng's fame, it showed a tendency to become the sixth largest power in the southeast region.

On this day, Li Baixing hurriedly stepped into the hall and bowed to report.

"Sect Master, someone from Guiyun City has come to see you."

"Guiyun City?"

On the throne, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Let him in."

A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes with a refined appearance stepped into the hall. He was none other than Elder Guiyun City, Yunlan Supreme, a fourth-grade Supreme expert.

"Yunlan greets Pavilion Master Ye."

Yunlan Supreme bowed respectfully, his gaze sweeping over Ye Feng, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Such a young Rank 3 Supreme being, there are very few people in the southeastern region who can make him feel threatened.

"Elder Yunlan, there's no need for such formalities."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his gaze falling on Supreme Yunlan.

"What brings Elder Yunlan here?"

Yunlan Supreme smiled slightly, raised her hand and waved, a mustard seed bracelet flew out from her sleeve and slowly floated towards Ye Feng.

"Sect Master Ye, this is a small token of my appreciation from the City Lord of Guiyun City. Please accept it."

Ye Feng raised his hand and took it, probing it with his spiritual power. He saw that the mustard seed bracelet contained a large number of crystal clear jade bottles, each filled with supreme spiritual liquid.

"Ten thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid—"

"What does Supreme Lord Guiyun mean by this?"

Ye Feng's eyes flickered, but his expression remained calm.

"Pavilion Master Ye possesses extraordinary strength. The City Lord's intention is to hope that Tianfeng Pavilion and Guiyun City will form an alliance and advance and retreat together in the future."

"I have come here today to invite the Pavilion Master to Guiyun City for a chat."

Yunlan Supreme's smile remained unchanged, but his attitude became even more respectful.

"I accept Supreme Guiyun's sincerity. As for the matter of going to Guiyun City to form an alliance—"

Ye Feng pursed his lips, staring directly at Supreme Yunlan. He paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Tianfeng Pavilion is newly established and its foundation is still shallow. This region is in chaos, and various forces are interfering. I cannot leave Tianfeng City at will. If Supreme Guiyun is really interested, we can invite him to come to Tianfeng City."

He didn't know what Guiyun Supreme was up to; it was possible that he was just using this to create momentum and, under the guise of an alliance, to get Tianfeng Pavilion to submit.

By taking the initiative to go to Guiyun City to form an alliance, his status was inevitably lower.

Similarly, it cannot be ruled out that this is a trap, and going to Guiyun City alone is not without risk.

Although Tianfeng Pavilion's current strength is insufficient to defend against a fifth-grade supreme being, it can adapt to any situation on its own territory.

After a period of cultivation, he is now not far from the peak of the third-grade supreme realm. Given a few more months, he is confident that he can break through to the fourth-grade supreme realm.

Only then will we have the confidence to face even a fifth-rank supreme being.

"In that case, I will convey Pavilion Master Ye's message to the City Lord."

"There is one more thing I hope Pavilion Master Ye can agree to."

Yunlan Supreme's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his smile.

"Elder Yunlan, please speak—"

Ye Feng raised his hand, a hint of curiosity on his face.

"After the war of conquest of the Great Luo Heaven Domain ended, some areas originally controlled by the Xuan Gu Palace have been taken over by my Guiyun City. The city lord hopes that Tianfeng Pavilion can maintain the stability of these areas and not start any more wars, and give them a break."

"To be honest, Pavilion Master Ye, my Guiyun City suffered heavy losses in this war of conquest of the Great Luo Heaven Domain—"

Yunlan Supreme bowed respectfully, placing Ye Feng in a superior position.

"That's right—"

Ye Feng's hand holding the mustard seed bracelet paused slightly, then he understood.

According to what Supreme Yunlan said, Guiyun City had no intention of being hostile to him. The ten thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids were less a token of Supreme Yunlan's goodwill and more a form of compensation and appeasement given to him by Guiyun City after it occupied those territories.

As for the so-called alliance, it is likely that Supreme Lord Guiyun was trying to win him over and test him.

After defeating Blood Eagle Supreme, he gained the respect of a Fifth-Rank Supreme in the southeastern region.

These fifth-rank supreme beings are all incredibly troublesome—none of them are easy to deal with.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then gave Yunlan Supreme a clear reply.

"I can agree to this, but if Guiyun City goes too far, I will not show any mercy."

Yunlan Supreme's expression stiffened, but he felt no anger and nodded.

During this campaign against the Great Luo Heaven Domain, he had fought against the Blood Eagle Supreme outside Guiyun City, but the final result still haunts him to this day.

He was no match for the Blood Eagle Supreme at all. He was severely injured in just a few exchanges, and that was without the Blood Eagle Supreme using its true form.

The fact that Ye Feng, the master of Tianfeng Pavilion, was able to severely injure the Blood Eagle Supreme, who used all his methods, speaks volumes about his strength.

"Sect Master Ye, now that there is nothing more to say, I shall take my leave and report back to the City Lord."

Yunlan Supreme was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Ye Feng and took his leave.

"Sect Master—"

Seeing that Ye Feng agreed to Guiyun City's request, Li Baixing was taken aback.

Although the vast territory left by the Xuan Gu Palace has been occupied by the Tianfeng Pavilion, there are still a few core cities that they have not yet succeeded in taking, which have been occupied by people secretly supported by Guiyun City.

The situation was similar in the territory under the command of Wanlei City. Youdu City was not idle either, and even supported Wanlei Supreme, becoming more blatant.

That Wanlei Supreme was not dead. Now that the war of conquest in the Great Luo Heaven Domain has ended, he seems poised to make a comeback.

"It's alright. Right now, our most important enemies are not Guiyun City, but the Wanlei Supreme who is still alive, Youdu City, and Tianshan Sect behind Yuehun Sect."

"As long as we can collect the offerings from the Moon Soul Sect, the losses in these places can be made up. Besides, the territory that the Heavenly Wind Pavilion has expanded to is already quite large, and it will take some time to digest it."

Ye Feng waved his hand, the smile on his lips slowly fading, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Guiyun City took the initiative to show goodwill and was so polite, so he was naturally happy to develop peacefully with them. He couldn't possibly offend all five fifth-rank supreme experts in the southeast region.

Otherwise, the road ahead for Tianfeng Pavilion will be much more difficult, and forming an alliance with Guiyun City will be quite problematic.

He didn't need Guiyun Supreme's help, but he also didn't want him to interfere in his affairs with other forces.

The Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Puppet had established himself in this region for many years. Now that his power had been overthrown, one can imagine the hatred he felt. He had long anticipated that the Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Puppet would completely join Youdu City.

As for the Xuan Gu Supreme who was nominally affiliated with Guiyun City, he is already dead, so naturally he is no longer worth Guiyun Supreme's attention. This is the key reason for his attitude towards Tianfeng Pavilion.

"Your Excellency is wise; I understand."

Li Baixing bowed in response, subtly offering a compliment.

Ye Feng smiled, then seemed to remember something and solemnly made arrangements.

"Two months from now, Wanjian Valley will hold a large-scale auction. Now that you have broken through to the second-grade Supreme level, you will represent my Tianfeng Pavilion in the auction—"

"Later, I will have Qianxuan give you 20,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids from the sect's spirit treasury. If there are any items at this auction that can enhance your strength and help you break through to higher realms, bid for as many as possible."

This is a floating island suspended thousands of feet above the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, with countless majestic peaks piercing the clouds like sharp swords.

However, they are more like small continents than floating islands.

On that floating continent, a dazzling light shield covered countless palaces and pavilions. Countless streaks of light swept across the sky, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations rippled within. The overwhelming array was exceptionally terrifying.

This is the Great Luo Heaven, the headquarters of the Great Luo Heaven Domain in the northern region of the Tianluo Continent.

Although the Great Luo Heaven Domain is nothing compared to the super continent of Tianluo Continent, it has a great reputation in the surrounding areas and is a super power that few dare to provoke.

In the center of the Great Luo Heaven, a towering peak stands majestically, and atop it, a colossal palace cast from gold and stone sits quietly, exuding an ancient and awe-inspiring aura.

Above the grand hall, a plaque hangs high, bearing the three large characters "Daluo Hall" in vigorous strokes, exuding an extraordinary ancient charm as it gleams with spiritual light.

At this moment, in the main hall, on the golden throne, a figure sat quietly cross-legged.

It was a slightly thin figure, wearing a large black cloak with the hood hanging down, completely covering his face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

His aura was restrained and profound, as if he were one with the entire world, yet he also exuded a chilling pressure.

The pressure wasn't intense, but it was as heavy as a mountain, making people dare not have the slightest thought of disrespect.

This figure is none other than the founder of the Great Luo Heavenly Domain, the true master of this vast territory, the Great Luo Domain Lord.

However, probably no one would have imagined that this powerful Earthly Sovereign who was renowned throughout the Northern Realm was actually a girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

Below the stone platform, three figures stood respectfully, none other than the three emperors of the Great Luo Heaven Domain: the Sleeping Emperor, the Spirit-Eyed Emperor, and the Heavenly Eagle Emperor.

The leader, the Sleeping Emperor, wore a green robe and had his eyes slightly closed, as if he might fall asleep at any moment. However, in the occasional opening of his eyes, a chilling glint flashed.

Ling Tong Huang was dressed in a silver robe, with snow-white hair and a pair of eyes that shone with a strange black light, as if stars were flowing in his pupils.

The Heavenly Eagle Emperor was thin and wiry, with a sharp, pointed face and piercing eyes that exuded a sharp aura.

The three seventh-rank supreme experts stood with their heads bowed, like the most respectful subjects, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Domain Lord".

Ling Tonghuang spoke first, his voice low and respectful.

"In this campaign, the Asura King, the Ice River King, and several others have led their armies back with a great harvest, capturing over two million drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid. After deducting losses from various units and the rewards from this campaign, the remaining seven hundred thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid can be stored in the warehouse."

Upon hearing this, the figure beneath the black robe nodded slightly but remained silent.

"Besides that, there is one more thing that I must report to the Domain Lord."
