In stark contrast to the restored tranquility on the Immortal Island, the territories once ruled by the three slain Emperors plunged into near-total panic and chaos.They worried whether they would be swept up in the turmoil. When would the Phoenix Empress arrive to seize control of their lands?
Simultaneously, many Great Emperors fell into silence and deep contemplation. Even those who had long secluded themselves from worldly affairs began to scheme…
While Feng Jiu and the others deliberated their next steps within the palace, Feng Ye and Zhao Yang were being chased through the forest by fierce beasts.
“Why Sacred Beasts again? How can there be so many divine-tier fierce beasts here? And they attack in packs—they’re trying to torture us to death!”
He shouted as he ran. Each time he glanced back and saw the fierce beast closing in, his already exhausted body surged with latent energy.
He knew that if caught, even if he survived, he’d be left raw and bleeding!
Zhao Yang fared little better, his robes torn and his body streaked with blood. They hadn’t anticipated such savagery from these fierce beasts, let alone a pack of Sacred Beasts hunting them down.
With their strength, they were no match for a pack of fierce beasts. In this moment, they finally understood why the young mistress had abandoned them in this forest for training.
At the palace, Feng Jiu made arrangements for Du Fan and the others: “Today we slew three Great Emperors. The territories they ruled will now be under our dominion and recovery. You will go to these three places to handle the takeover and garrison duties.”
Feng Jiu looked at them and continued, “Gray Wolf and Shadow One will go to the territory of the Great Emperor Dongyao. The remaining two territories will be taken over by Du Fan and Leng Hua. Since you are new here and unfamiliar with the local affairs, I will summon some local rulers. You will have direct command over them.”
Hearing this, the group exchanged glances, stood up, and responded in unison, “Yes!”
“Hand over your communication jades,” Feng Jiu gestured.
They immediately retrieved their communication jades from their spatial storage and handed them to her. She accepted them, ran her fingers lightly over each one, then returned them: “All matters are now entirely in your hands. Should you encounter anything you cannot resolve, simply relay the message to me.”
“Understood.” They acknowledged, stowing the jades away.
“Take these three Great Emperor Seals.” Feng Jiu handed the seals she had retrieved from the Eastern Radiance Emperor and his peers to the three men. Since those three emperors were now deceased, the names engraved beneath the seals bore Feng Jiu’s own title: Phoenix Empress.
Tie Song, Yueniang, and Song Mi’er watched this exchange silently, though a flicker of surprise crossed their faces. They hadn’t expected their master to entrust such crucial matters to them, nor to place sovereigns under their command. Their decisions now required no prior approval from the master. Such trust and authority made it clear that these three held a position in their master’s heart far beyond what the others could ever hope to attain.
They had assumed that as people close to the master, they should be treated equally. Yet in this moment, the three clearly realized something: even among those close to the master, their status was undoubtedly above theirs.
“Rest assured, master. We know what to do,” Du Fan and Leng Hua responded.
“Don’t worry, my lady. We won’t let you down,” Gray Wolf and Shadow One added.
