Chapter 1213: Reaping What You Sow
Tang Feng looked at the female guard and shook his head.
"I can't move, my entire body is immobilized, powerless despite my intentions."
Hearing this, the female guard let out a loud shout, using all her strength to lift the seal on Tang Feng, and then collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, her eyes still pleading with Tang Feng to save her.
Tang Feng picked her up, and in the next moment, appeared at the foot of the mountain, arranged a formation, summoned the Divine Ship, and brought her into a room within it.
Thus began a three-day journey to detoxify.
By the second day, the female guard had regained consciousness and her senses, yet the poison inside her was so strong that she couldn't stop the movements.
Then she fully experienced the helplessness of being at the mercy of another.
Overwhelmed by grief and indignation, yet utterly helpless.
Ultimately, she succumbed to Tang Feng's dominance.
After all, she is a woman, and once entangled with a man, she could hardly escape this fate.
Truly a perfect example of reaping what one sows.
On the fourth day, she finally broke free, but to her surprise, her cultivation had become stronger.
This was indeed an incredible event.
She inexplicably achieved promotion, and now securely possessed the realm of an Ancient God cultivation.
According to her progress, it would have been impossible to break through within a hundred years, or even thousands, and some might spend a lifetime stuck at the Peak Realm.
She did not expect to lose her most precious asset, yet gain what she had always dreamed of.
"How did you accomplish this?" she finally asked, unable to contain herself in the hall of the Divine Ship, her tone gentle beyond her own belief.
"Naturally through continuous efforts. You should thank me properly in the future. I paid a great price for your benefit," Tang Feng said.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know; you've also broken through to the Supreme Divine Realm," said the female guard.
"My breakthrough was inevitable, but without me, you'd probably find it hard to break through in this life. You should be self-aware, or else you'd be content being a female guard."
"I can't argue with you, but you don't understand; I owe Sister Jiang."
"Alright then, as if I said nothing. Let's go back; we haven't seen her in a few days, I guess she's anxious." Tang Feng led her off the Divine Ship, realizing only then that they were outside the city gates.
"We can't speak of what happened, or I won't let you off."
"You still dare to speak to me like that? Have you forgotten the past few days? Do you want me to enforce house rules?" Tang Feng laughed.
"Pah! Dream on; there won't be a next time."
After saying this, the female guard disappeared from Tang Feng's sight.
It doesn't matter; after trying everything over the past few days, I'm without regrets.
Feeling elated, he whistled as he walked into the city.
Arriving at the City Lord Mansion.
The main general there immediately came out to greet.
"Sect Master, you are here."
"The training of the Divine Weapons hasn't slacked, has it?"
"No, they are under high-intensity training every day."
"Good. Business should keep up, don't be afraid to spend money, but don't waste it needlessly; your task here is heavy, it's the northern gate. If it gets breached, the enemy can advance unhindered. You bear a heavy responsibility."
"Rest assured, Sect Master, your subordinate guarantees to complete the task."
"Alright then, I'll establish another legion for you, numbering between one hundred thousand; you can collect resources from the headquarters," Tang Feng said.
"Yes, Sect Master." The guard general was very excited upon hearing this. It was a turning point; with luck, he might enter the core legion, the sect master's elite forces, which was a coveted opportunity.
Following that, Tang Feng gave some pointers on the training of the legion, particularly outstanding small teams received praise from Tang Feng and guidance in their cultivation.
Tang Feng called the heads of the lower levels to the conference room, and after gaining control over all of them, he bestowed upon them a bottle of Divine Pill each.
Since they were his people, Tang Feng wouldn't be stingy. Enhancing their abilities was beneficial for the entire legion, and he instilled in them the will to fight bravely in battle, ensuring they would become fearless warriors.
After ensuring everything was foolproof, Tang Feng then left the City Lord Mansion, continuing his inspection in disguise.
Identifying and filling the gaps.
Before leaving, Tang Feng did not visit the Drunken Fragrance Building; it's sometimes nice to leave things as memories, some people you don't have to force.
But little did he know, Jiang Yayun already knew his identity.
Given her abilities, uncovering the truth wasn't a problem.
Because she discovered it, she felt a bit lost, not expecting to have missed such a heroic genius.
In truth, she was within the scope of Tang City's control.
What a pity.
Even more of a pity was the guard she followed for years.
Ultimately she didn't uphold her self-respect, becoming a true woman.
Yet, rather than being saddened, the girl was even happier; she never asked who the other party was, after all, it's a private matter.
But upon further reflection, she felt a hint of jealousy, wondering if she would remain calm if he were to seek her out again?
She could no longer remain calm.
She thought it would have been better not to investigate; she felt as if she might never meet Tang Feng again.
At this moment, Tang Feng arrived in another city through the Transmission Array.
Initiating a reform plan for fifty cities.
It was necessary to keep control of all legions, as the responsibilities grew, Tang Feng's perspective expanded; he would not permit unexpected changes.
After completing a tour of forty-five cities, Tang Feng finally felt at ease.
Especially as the Tang Sect continuously produced Divine Weapons, Tang Feng was very satisfied.
These people, due to their desire for a better life, would surely give their utmost effort.
Moreover, they would be fearless, incomparable to cultivators recruited from outside.
Providing them with a future in exchange for loyalty that is far stronger than imagined.
Only disciples from the Tang Sect could truly be loyal to Tang Feng, having undergone a process ensuring their absolute allegiance, always loyal to Tang Feng, always loyal to the Tang Sect, until death, breaking their oath would mean utter destruction.
Unbeknownst to all legions, they were connected by a Great Formation that enthralled their souls, allowing Tang Feng to reap their lives at any sign of betrayal.
Simultaneously, as long as they remained loyal, the formation's blessings would make their cultivation stronger, significantly boosting combat power in due time.
Tang Feng reckoned that about half a year of consolidation would suffice.
But will others give him that time?
Many wished to disrupt his cities, devour his heart; these people weren't few, perhaps even hiding within the city, ready for a fatal strike at any moment.
Therefore, transmitting thoughts never ceased, caution was paramount; the higher he climbed, the more daunting the figures became.
After delegating tasks to the six females, Tang Feng set off again, this time not to another city but where the Void Essence Beasts resided,
Tang Feng had his reasons for this trip; he couldn't venture too deep into the forest, nor kill indiscriminately, to avoid provoking a Beast Tide. Thus, cautiously, he decided to use the most elementary means to control these Exotic Beasts. Imagine if successful, it would mean possessing overwhelming assistance, a rare opportunity.
So, along the way, Tang Feng consumed Divine Pills, slowly enhancing his soul.
And along the way, some solitary Void Essence Beasts became his experimental subjects.
Perhaps due to their not-inconsiderable power, the Spirit Control Technique was executed smoothly, and before long, Tang Feng had amassed a hundred Void Essence Beasts behind him.
When he returns, he will surely bring along a formidable pack of Void Essence Beasts!
