Chapter 1473

Ximen Wudi's face showed not the slightest expression.

Only after eliminating his enemies.

His figure walked toward the interior of the city.

He knew that at this moment, the Northern Wilderness Madman would certainly retaliate.

But since they had chosen to ally with the Han Empire, everything must follow Han's rules.

Otherwise, they had no right to continue living on this land.

Therefore, as Ximen Wudi passed through the city gate.

He directly ordered.

"From now on, every three years, a group of strong warriors will be dispatched to reinforce the city walls.

Do not slack off.

Those who defy this order—kill on the spot!"

A cold voice rang out, carrying a solemn weight.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

At the same time, Ximen Wudi stepped into the governor's mansion.

He was preparing to cultivate.

Although breaking through to Half-Sage Fifth Layer was no longer urgent.

The stronger one's power,

The more one could protect one's family.

Especially since his parents and child were all within the Han Empire.

So his pressure was immense.

In the following time, Ximen Wudi entered seclusion within the governor's mansion.

Yet he did not know that at this moment, within the Northern Wilderness.

The ancestral elder of the Northern Wilderness Divine Clan had found the Northern Wilderness Madman.

1145 had perished.

Standing atop a mountain peak, his eyes revealed a solemn expression.

"This time, you acted too recklessly.

You dared to fight the Han Emperor—and perished.

Are you content with this?!"

At this moment, the ancestral elder of the Northern Wilderness Divine Clan spoke with frustration.

His face showed worry.

After all, his grandson had perished.

Upon hearing the voice, the Northern Wilderness Madman's face revealed a bitter expression.

"Grandfather, my vengeance must be paid. The Han Emperor seized my city.

No matter the cost, I will destroy him!"

The Northern Wilderness Madman's voice carried a resolute edge.

Upon hearing this, the ancestral elder of the Northern Wilderness Divine Clan's face showed anxiety.

He felt this matter was extremely difficult.

Not only because the Han Emperor was a Saint Emperor.

More importantly, the opponent's background was too formidable.

If this one cannot be brought under control, he will surely become a future threat.

Thinking of this, he spoke out.

"Mad Demon, I hope you remember this:

If you make any decision harmful to the Northern Wilderness Divine Clan, I will personally end your life.

Now leave. Wait until the next three-year cycle to seek revenge.

Remember: the dignity of the Northern Wilderness Divine Clan brooks no violation.

If anyone dares to touch it, they must be prepared to pay the price.

Do you understand?!"

When his voice faded, his entire figure vanished instantly from where he stood.

His speed was too fast.

Even Ximen Wudi at this moment could only faintly catch a few lingering afterimages.

Such a being was far too dangerous.

Yet just after he returned to his palace.

Cao Zhengchun approached.

"Han Emperor, how should we arrange this round of rewards?"

"Reward all the prodigies who participated in the tournament—let them enjoy themselves well!"

Ximen Wudi said coolly.

The Han Empire had won this great battle.

Its gains were enormous.

Especially the armies, after enduring battle.

His strength had risen rapidly.

Moreover, during this period, Ximen Wudi's cultivation had also stabilized considerably.

Now, he was only a single step away from the Seventh Layer of Half-Saint.

Upon hearing the voice, Cao Zhengchun bowed and accepted the order.

"Ding—system task complete!"

And just after Cao Zhengchun left.

Ximen Wudi sat cross-legged on the bed.

In his mind.

The system's voice, however, kept ringing out.

"Ding—congratulations to the host, you have obtained one summoning chance.

May I ask, would you like to use it!"

The system's voice rang out at this moment.

This made Ximen Wudi knit his brows involuntarily.

His summoning chances were already few to begin with.

He hadn't expected that, just upon arriving in the Hongmeng World.

He would have to waste one.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Use it!"

The voice rang out.

"Ding—congratulations to the host on a successful summoning, you have obtained the loyalty of the Southern Barbarian Overlord!

Strength: Second Layer of Half-Step Jin Xian!"

Then, the system's voice rang out once more.

This time, a smile appeared at the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth.

The Southern Barbarian Overlord had once roamed unchecked across the Western Ox-Heave Continent.

Moreover, his temperament was fierce and valiant.

Now, he could fight for him.

This made him very satisfied.

Then, his gaze fell upon the next task.
