Even Chu Yang was somewhat surprised by this.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yang asked again, "What is the Western Heaven War Emperor's attitude towards you?"
Yao Feng pondered and said, "On the surface, he seems to admire me quite a bit and relies on me a lot."
“But since the news of your return from the abyss spread a few days ago, he has begun to gradually take back my power in the Western Heaven Battle Hall.”
"Moreover, he has secretly prepared many contingency plans. If I want to leave the Western Heaven Battle Palace, I'm afraid there will be some resistance..."
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Since he doesn't want to release them, then you don't need to think about leaving the Western Heaven Battle Hall..."
"Besides, the ten-year term is not yet over. If we forcibly break away, it would be tantamount to tearing off our relationship and giving him a handle to use against us."
"In comparison, staying in the Western Heaven Battle Hall is actually a good thing."
The cunning demonic wind instantly grasped Chu Yang's intentions and tentatively asked:
"Emperor Chu, do you want me to... sideline the Western Heaven War Emperor and take control of the Western Heaven War Palace?"
Chu Yang shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "For me and for the Great Xia Dynasty, the Western Heaven Battle Hall is of little value; the Western Heaven Battle Emperor is far more valuable..."
"After all, with his talent, it's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign."
"So why don't you try a different approach..."
After his prompting, Yao Feng's eyes lit up. "You mean... I should gain the trust of the Western Heaven War Emperor and then tie him to the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "The general idea is correct, but the time frame is too long."
"I will be making some moves soon, and I will inform you in advance."
"After this incident, no matter how unwilling the Western Heaven War Emperor is, he will have no choice but to join the Great Xia!"
The demonic wind stared wide-eyed, feeling somewhat incredulous.
As a hegemon of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Western Heaven War Emperor was once hailed as the most outstanding genius in the last thousand years. How could he be willing to submit to others?
Getting him to join the Great Xia Dynasty is no easy task!
However, Yao Feng did not doubt Chu Yang's words. In his eyes, Chu Yang was an omnipotent god. No matter how unbelievable something was, it would become reasonable when it was applied to Chu Yang.
"After breaking through the thousand patterns, I returned to the Dou Qi Continent. The Netherworld Army's reserve force had already completed its special training."
Chu Yang stood up and said, "Once the Netherworld Army expands, it will be enough to support you in reaching the pinnacle of battle formations!"
After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
The demonic wind took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and only after a long while did it raise its head. Its eyes showed some excitement and longing, which was quickly replaced by a look of determination.
He knew that everything he possessed and his current achievements were bestowed upon him by the Chu Emperor, and he understood what he should do in the future.
…………
The Western Continent, the Lesser Western Realm.
Upon returning to this place, Chu Yang could clearly see that the power of the Little Western Heaven Realm had diminished considerably.
The four great divine clans have almost ruled over all areas of the Little Western Heaven Realm. Many of the current forces have either become their vassals or have ceased to exist.
Chu Yang knew that in the current Little Western Heaven Realm, the Luo God Clan could still outrank the other three major divine clans.
However, as the Little Western Heaven Realm gradually stabilizes, the other three great divine clans will set their sights on the Luo God Clan.
After all, the Luoshen Clan once produced a Luoshen, whose heritage and profound foundation are unmatched by the other three major divine clans.
In this situation, the increasingly weakened Luo Shen clan was nothing more than a fat lamb in their eyes.
With a clear objective, Chu Yang entered the territory ruled by the Luo Shen Clan and traveled upstream along the lower reaches of the Luo River.
Throughout the process, his attention remained focused on the Luo River.
Or to be more precise, his trip to the Western Continent was for Luohe, and seeing Yaofeng was just a side trip.
Throughout the journey, Chu Yang remained lost in thought until he arrived at the city gate of Luoshen City, at which point he finally put his thoughts aside.
Looking at the Luo River, which was as beautiful as a starry sky, Chu Yang murmured, "Since Luo Li was able to merge with the spirit of the Luo River hundreds of years later, it means that the ancient Luo River was not completely destroyed..."
"This remaining part certainly cannot be merely symbolic!"
The Luo River was once one of the wonders of the world and can be described as a uniquely blessed land.
However, in the battle in which the goddess Luo fell, the Luo River was also destroyed. Now, only this one remaining branch remains, and it has long lost many of the mysteries of ancient times.
The Luo River only briefly displays its ancient splendor when there are no disciples of the Luo Shen Clan performing the Luo Shen Festival.
Of course, over the years, there have always been people who haven't given up and want to find out the truth.
Even though it is a branch of the Luo River, it is still unfathomably deep. Some powerful beings at the Earthly Sovereign Realm have even been lost in the Luo River, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Over time, those who coveted Luohe gave up their plans.
As for the experts at the Heavenly Supreme Realm?
Some may covet the Luoshen lineage, but no one dares to make a move against the Luoshen clan!
Luo Shen died fighting against the evil race from beyond the realm. She was a pioneer who protected the Great Thousand World. If any supreme powerhouse wants to use their power to oppress others and has any evil intentions towards Luo Shen's descendants, the Great Thousand Palace will be the first to object!
It's not just the Luo Shen Clan; in the vast world, there are many forces or clans left behind by ancient powerhouses, most of which are gradually declining.
While the Great Thousand Palace will not give these forces special treatment, it will restrain those stronger than Heavenly Sovereign.
Of course, whether it gradually declines or suffers a devastating blow in the struggle for power, Daqian Palace will not intervene.
Unless the Heavenly Sovereign interferes, even if a descendant of an Immortal Emperor encounters trouble, they can only blame their bad luck.
Turning his gaze away, Chu Yang naturally intended to explore the Luo River, but before that, he first needed to greet the Luo God Clan.
The Great Thousand Palace gave him face in every way and spared no effort to curry favor. In addition, Qin Tian was the current head of the Great Thousand Palace, so Chu Yang naturally wouldn't break the rules of the Great Thousand Palace.
Just as Chu Yang stepped through the city gate, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, I saw more than a dozen figures walking through the air and landing in front of the city gate. They looked travel-worn and hurriedly entered the city.
The leader was a young man with chiseled features and a strong build, but at this moment he looked anxious and grief-stricken, and was holding a woman covered in blood in his arms.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The young man ran wildly, shouting all the while, and arrived in front of Chu Yang in the blink of an eye.
Chu Yang glanced at the woman in his arms, raised an eyebrow, and suddenly whispered, "She's dead..."
The young man abruptly stopped, turned around and glared at him fiercely, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "You're talking nonsense!"
However, he did not stop, but continued to run wildly.
Chu Yang spoke again: "But I can save her..."
His voice was very soft both times, but it was clear enough to reach the young man's ears.
The young man finally stopped, turned around and stared at Chu Yang. After looking him up and down, he asked in a trembling voice, "What...what did you say?"
How could he not know that the woman in his arms was already dead?
He just wouldn't give up and refused to accept the facts.
Chu Yang simply looked at him calmly without saying a word.
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you dare to deceive me in this Lesser Western Heaven Realm?"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this how you ask for help?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a second before gritting his teeth and kneeling on the ground with a thud. "I was blind and offended you, please forgive me!"
"As long as you are willing to lend a helping hand, my Luo Shen clan is willing to pay any price!"
"You can represent the Luo Shen Clan?" Chu Yang was slightly surprised.
He sensed a peculiar aura while observing the Luo River along the way.
And this young man also possessed that same aura.
Therefore, Chu Yang guessed that this person was most likely a member of the royal family of the Luo Shen clan, which was why he spoke just now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have time to meddle in other people's business.
In this vast world, countless people die every day. If you kill them one by one, even a Saint-level Heavenly Sovereign would be exhausted to death!
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. People who are overly kind and compassionate often end up in a miserable state.
"You don't recognize me?" The young man was stunned once again.
Chu Yang frowned, and the young man quickly added, "I am a member of the royal family of the Luo Shen Clan, and my father is the current patriarch of the Luo Shen Clan!"
Chu Yang nodded. He hadn't expected to meet the young patriarch of the Luo Shen Clan so soon after arriving in Luo Shen City. This was a pleasant surprise and would save him a lot of trouble.
"She's got the ability to bend and stretch, quite a character, but as you probably know, she's already dead..."
Chu Yang pointed to the woman in the young man's arms, then changed the subject, "However, I can save her life, but I have to make this clear beforehand..."
"After this, I will enter the Luo River, which may cause a great commotion and may even affect the source of the Luo River."
"If the Luo Shen Clan agrees, I will certainly lend a hand to save them."
Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything!
Chu Yang also sensed that special aura emanating from the woman.
Based on the young clan leader's attitude towards the woman, he was almost certain that this woman held a very high position within the Luo Shen clan.
