Chapter 2282: Notification to Zhao Ya

"Yes, yes!" Not daring to speak another unnecessary word, Huhu presented his storage ring.

Zhang Xuan erased the soul imprint, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

He truly deserved to be a Conferred God King; there were many good items. Although they weren't of much use to Zhang Xuan currently, they would be very helpful to Luo Qiqi, Sun Qiang, and others.

"Get lost!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Senior..." Not daring to utter another unnecessary word, Huhu turned and left. It was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Although all his treasures had been seized, as long as he was still alive and the Tide Sea hadn't closed, he could definitely reclaim them! Villains die from talking too much... If he were to perish here, he would truly lose everything.

"Everyone, please take your belongings back!" After Huhu left, Zhang Xuan looked towards Ao Feng and the other God Kings.

The crowd exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, then approached and retrieved their belongings, their faces flushed red. Initially, they had been quite displeased seeing this powerful individual do nothing as they were injured, but now, all such thoughts vanished completely. They were merely strangers crossing paths; why should he help them? Getting their treasures back was already an immense kindness.

"Thank you, Senior..." Seeing his treasures, lost and now recovered, Ao Feng reverted to his human form and quickly bowed.

"You're welcome..." Zhang Xuan waved his hand. "While I didn't intend to absorb the Earth Receptacle Spiritual Liquid, I did absorb it. By helping you retrieve your items, we are now even."

"Yes!" Ao Feng quickly nodded, then looked up, his eyes filled with admiration. "Senior... are you the one known as the Nine Firmaments Conferred King?" He naturally knew about the great commotion surrounding the Nine Firmaments Conferred King but never expected... to meet him here! And looking so young.

"It is I!" Seeing that he had been recognized, Zhang Xuan did not deny it.

"The Nine Firmaments Conferred King? The next... Peerless Great Emperor?""No wonder he possesses such strength...""Was the red cloud phenomenon two days ago related to the Nine Firmaments Conferred King? Was he the one who caused it?"

Hearing Ao Feng's words, a commotion spread through the surroundings. Only then did all the God Kings realize who this individual before them truly was and what status he represented.

"No wonder he could absorb the Earth Receptacle Spiritual Liquid..." Ao Feng finally understood. The Earth Receptacle Spiritual Liquid was too pure; even he, a Conferred King, couldn't absorb it, yet the other party used it for cultivation. He had found it strange before, but now he realized it was him! The Nine Firmaments Conferred King, destined to become an Emperor... his ability to absorb such a substance was only natural.

Remembering something, he stepped forward. "Senior, I know of a place that might contain treasures useful to you..."

"Oh?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"There's a spatial rift about five thousand li from here where I once saw some Imperial Spirit Grass! My cultivation was too low to approach it, but for a Senior like yourself, that shouldn't be an issue..." Ao Feng explained.

"Imperial Spirit Grass?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. "The Imperial Spirit Grass that even benefits Emperors in cultivation?" He had seen this type of medicinal herb mentioned in the books left by Master Kong. It was a medicine with excellent effects on experts at the Emperor level. In his current state, ordinary herbs were completely useless; only substances of this caliber could rapidly advance his cultivation.

Ao Feng nodded.

"Take me there!" In terms of effect, Imperial Spirit Grass was certainly far superior to the Earth Receptacle Spiritual Liquid. Perhaps it could truly allow him to break through to the peak of Conferred King, or even... to Emperor!

"What about him...?" After a response, Ao Feng pointed to the God King nearby who had offered to be Huhu's follower.

"Just kill him..." Zhang Xuan glanced at him and waved his sleeve.

"Mercy..." Just as the God King was about to speak, he felt his body lose control, suddenly swell, and his internal True Qi surged chaotically. He instantly exploded into dust, his soul utterly extinguished. This individual had seen danger, evaded responsibility, and betrayed them. No matter the reason, he could not be left alive.

Ao Feng and the other God Kings all felt their eyebrows twitch. Initially, after seeing Zhang Xuan let Huhu go, they had thought he was still young and too lenient, not as formidable as they had imagined. But witnessing this scene, they finally understood... A true powerhouse was indeed a powerhouse, not to be provoked casually. Ruthless against enemies, but kind to ordinary people... Fortunately, they had maintained their integrity and hadn't betrayed him earlier, otherwise, they might have already turned to dust like that man.

"Let's go!" Ignoring the others' speculations, Ao Feng led the way, and Zhang Xuan followed closely.

Whoosh! Whoosh! His face was ashen, and Huhu's teeth gnashed loudly.

"It must be... that Nine Firmaments Conferred King!" If Ao Feng could figure it out, Huhu naturally also guessed who the other party was. Besides this Nine Firmaments Conferred King, who else possessed such terrifying strength without having reached the Emperor realm?

"The Nine Firmaments Conferred King is powerful, but so what? Conferred God King Zhao Ya, personally trained by the Emperor, is no weaker than him!" A thought sparked in his mind as he recalled the valiant and spirited female figure, and Huhu clenched his fist. This Nine Firmaments Conferred King was indeed very strong, but... Conferred King Zhao Ya, whom Emperor Fu Meng had cultivated at great cost, was also no weaker than him! Having his items stolen was nothing; he could always steal from others later to compensate. But for the humiliation he suffered, perhaps Conferred King Zhao Ya could help him exact revenge!

Thinking this, he wasted no time. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a special communication jade token. This token had been specially refined and bestowed by the Emperor, usable even within the Tide Sea. After sending the message, he waited for barely ten minutes before the space rippled, and a figure abruptly appeared before him. Clad in silver armor, her graceful figure was enveloped within it, creating an indescribably captivating sight. It was Zhao Ya!

"Why have you sought me?" The girl asked, her hands clasped behind her back, an unapproachable coldness radiating from her. She had gained her current strength through the care of Emperor Fu Meng. Before their arrival, the Emperor had instructed her to look after the other God Kings and Conferred Kings. It was precisely for this reason that when she received the message, she didn't hesitate to separate from her junior brothers and sisters and rushed over.

"Conferred King Zhao Ya, I was just robbed by another Conferred God King. The Earth Receptacle Spiritual Liquid I painstakingly prepared for the Emperor was snatched away. I implore you to help!" Huhu bowed. Although the woman before him was much younger, her formidable strength was evident, and he dared not act presumptuous.

"Which day's? Which Conferred King?" Zhao Ya looked over indifferently, not wasting many words.

"I don't know his name, but it should be the one from the Nine Firmaments Conferred King's anointment a few days ago!" Huhu replied. He truly didn't know the other party's name and could only guess his identity.

"The Nine Firmaments Conferred King?" Zhao Ya's eyes flashed. Before coming, numerous Emperors had repeatedly warned her to be cautious if she encountered this individual. She had always wanted to meet him, but she never expected him to rob someone on her side even before their first encounter... He truly had a lot of nerve! Did he really think that she, Zhao Ya, was made of clay?
