Chapter 1222: The Overbearing Snow God Palace
Dong dong!
Retracting her gaze, the Snow God Palace Elder turned around and walked to the door, where a woman conveyed Tang Feng's invitation after opening the door.
On the third floor restaurant, the Snow God Palace Elder saw Tang Feng.
First surprised, then shocked, but soon she returned to her usual cold elegance. As an elder of the Great Sect, with high status, she naturally wouldn't show herself as inferior.
On the contrary, she needed to elevate herself in every way, for her status as a member of the Snow God Palace deserved her pride.
Upon seeing the Snow God Palace Elder, Tang Feng stood up to greet her and pulled out a chair, demonstrating sufficient courtesy. "Elder Xue, please sit."
"Thank you! It's truly not easy to meet Master Tang," Xue Bingyu said expressionlessly.
Tang Feng replied, "I apologize, Elder Xue. I just returned from the battlefield and heard that the Snow God Palace sent an emissary, so I hurriedly asked you to come."
"Then I must feel flattered."
"Haha! You're welcome, you're welcome," Tang Feng chuckled.
"Master Tang, you must know the reason for my visit."
Tang Feng nodded, "I know a bit, but I wonder if Elder Xue has anything to add."
"Nothing to add. I just want to hear your response."
"This can only be responded to in this way; I'm afraid I cannot agree to your sect's demands. However, I do not wish to become enemies with your sect, and I ask your sect not to interfere in the matters of my sect," Tang Feng said.
"It seems Master Tang hasn't understood. My sect's meaning is that moderation is key. Otherwise, one might overreach and face dire consequences."
"Heh, is Elder Xue threatening me?" Tang Feng's eyes turned sharp.
Xue Bingyu shook her head. "I'm merely stating the facts. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
"Elder Xue, isn't your Snow God Palace too domineering?"
"You could view it that way," Xue Bingyu replied.
Tang Feng laughed, "If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Aside from your sect, the Northern Domain must belong to Tang City. If your sect truly intends to interfere, then we shall see."
"Master Tang is indeed arrogant. Very well, I will convey your words to our Sect Master. I hope you won't regret what you've said today."
"Of course not, oh by the way, our next target is the Sky Extreme Sect. Soon, you should hear news of its demise," Tang Feng said with a sinister smile.
"Is that so? Then congratulations to you. I hope you won't celebrate too early - pardon me, I must take my leave." Xue Bingyu hadn't expected Tang Feng to be so resolute. It seemed the Sect Master was right; this ambition was too great, and it wouldn't be stopped.
Hmph!
She was curious to see how the opponent would end up, daring to challenge the Snow God Palace, some had already been obliterated.
The foundation of a Super Sect is quite terrifying, not comparable to some upstart who thinks too highly of themselves.
Tang Feng watched the departing silhouette of the Snow God Palace Elder, for a moment contemplating taking her down.
It wasn't about flirting with her, just an idea of controlling her at an appropriate time, to calm the situation and prevent deeper resentment from the Snow God Palace.
Unfortunately, he tried a bit and found that the woman's willpower was formidable, and dared not venture further. A fierce resistance might end up causing trouble, and that was undesirable as he currently had no intention of clashing with the Snow God Palace.
Alas!
What a situation this is.
Tang Feng couldn't say he was entirely unconcerned about the Snow God Palace — certainly impossible. Her strength was not something Sky Extreme Sect could compare with, up to ten times the difference in power.
If the other side declared war on him directly, it would likely turn into a relatively long-term war, which did not align with his expansion goals.
However, invading the two hundred cities under his control wasn't an easy feat either.
But while external attacks couldn't succeed, internal defenses must be vigilant.
The collapse of a mile-long dam due to an ant hole, Tang Feng thus ordered all cities to be on alert, especially observing the aura from Xue Bingyu.
He informed all cities to monitor any persons with such aura closely.
Tang Feng integrated this aura into the Great Formation.
Soon, signs appeared throughout the city, revealing numerous Snow God Palace disciples had infiltrated.
Tang Feng couldn't help but break a cold sweat on his forehead.
How close! If he hadn't been alert, he might've really been undone by the Snow God Palace.
Tang Feng immediately ordered to keep watch over those people, restraining from any action without explicit command.
Keeping a close eye on the Snow God Palace disciples' activities provided Tang Feng some reassurance but didn't allow him to fully relax.
Not all Snow God Palace disciples could be detected.
Only by monitoring those they engaged with could he truly rest easy.
Simultaneously enhancing the strength of the Tang Army was a pressing matter.
Tang Feng handed over Elixirs to Yao Yi and others, for them to distribute.
A large batch was also placed in the Sect's resource location.
So long as there was a steady supply of herbs, Divine Pills wouldn't run out.
Now Tang Feng had two hundred cities, receiving daily shipments of herbs weighing in the thousands of tons to the sect, then distributing Elixirs to each city a few days later.
With Elixirs, growing in strength naturally followed.
Every day, Tang City's strength was progressing.
The Snow God Palace Elder Xue Bingyu left Tang Sect City early the following morning via the Transmission Array, pondering deeply along the way, perhaps she could have been more tactful last night, as the things she witnessed showed her some insight.
This young Master of Tang Sect truly had capability; otherwise, he couldn't have conquered so many cities and managed them well in a short time. Just the fact he managed to drive out the Void Essence Beast to the Southern Domain indicated his exceptional nature.
Ah, this stubbornness of hers, unsure when it would change.
Back home, she would have to report more tactfully to the Sect Master as this person did not appear to intend opposing the Snow God Palace, and she couldn't mislead the sect's mindset on purpose.
Next, she intended to observe more and visit each city to see what kind of magic he wielded, allowing him to stabilize quickly.
Through observation, she discovered a crucial point.
It seemed each city had a Tang City Resource Hall, within which were various tasks and material exchanges, with welfare being the Divine Pill.
Could it be that the Tang Sect had an exceptionally skilled Alchemist?
No, one Alchemist couldn't keep up with the consumption — certainly, they possessed a team. A sect with so many Alchemists could grow mighty in a short time and continue to strengthen.
No wonder they swept across the Northern Domain; they had such a card hidden.
It seemed that the Snow God Palace's thinking couldn't remain as conservative as before — Tang City was active as were the Tang Army; they couldn't remain stagnant.
Infiltration was currently the sect's sole feasible and most effective method.
After handling Snow God Palace's matters, Tang Feng departed directly, arriving at the city below the Sky Extreme Sect.
This Sky Extreme City still held considerable size;, though the Sky Extreme Sect could abandon such a foundation demonstrated formidable courage — the Sect Master of Sky Extreme Sect was quite a character.
A Level 15 defensive formation, Sky Extreme Sect went all out — understandable to ensure the sect's security; such expense was necessary, but humans plan and the heavens decide, a Level 15 Array Path was no match for Tang Feng.
Sky Extreme Sect was already in his grasp.
The reason for not acting was due to previously losing nearly ten thousand Divine Soldiers; this time, the previous lesson needed to be learned to minimize casualties.
The entirety of the Void Origin Realm was focused here, watching Tang Feng take full control of the Northern Domain — they seemed to forget the existence of the Snow God Palace, or perhaps they viewed Snow God Palace higher than the Northern Domain.
