"Then you rest, I'll go out and have a look." Tang Feng was very curious about how the besieged Divine Emperor would retaliate.

As expected, as soon as Tang Feng stepped out of the tavern, he sensed a change in the defensive formation in the air; its strength was fading, seemingly a last resort before giving up completely.

The reason it wasn't fully released is probably that the Divine Emperor also needed some time to withdraw.

The Divine Emperor was now grief-stricken, never expected that his efforts for the city residents would backfire, with a group of Divine Generals all rebelling, leaving only his Personal Guard Army.

To be honest, he was heartbroken; he never thought that millions of years of effort would end up in vain.

Without a few women, he'd lost the Imperial City, and the Divine Country was fragmented.

Of course, as long as he wasn't dead, he was still the Divine Emperor of the Divine Country.

As long as he existed, the Divine Country would not fall.

After the major powers withdrew, he immediately mobilized the secret Divine Army.

Starting to cleanse a vast area within the Divine Country.

And all of this was still unknown to the major powers in the Imperial City, and he couldn't receive any information.

A bloody storm was awaiting them.

Tang Feng arrived near the Emperor Mansion; by this time, it was already a ruin.

Yet, no one dared to approach.

Because the perimeter of the Emperor Mansion was still heavily guarded; they stood at the last post.

Tang Feng scanned with his Divine Sense, discovering dozens of Divine Steles erected by the Divine Emperor at the center of the Emperor Mansion.

The steles recorded his concubines and children.

In the battle last night, he lost five Empresses and three children.

This deep-seated vendetta couldn't just be brushed aside.

Though there had been historical incidents of Divine Emperors being killed, they were rare, and most ended in a reversal; could this Divine Emperor manage a reversal?

Judging by the expression on this man's face, it wouldn't be a difficult task.

And this man was ruthless; his intentions in cutting off others' retreats were good, aiming to rise stronger from the ashes, but the situation spiraled out of control, ending less than ideally.

The Divine Emperor had no regrets; if he succeeded, he would have been renowned through the ages.

Since, historically, no cultivator had ever defeated such a powerful Divine Beast.

Unfortunately, he failed and nearly buried his foundation; now, with a change in mentality, he put away all kindness, adopting a rule of iron and blood, killing those who refused to submit, using no tricks, straightforwardly proving that actions were indeed more effective than words.

An iron-blooded monarch was born, and the emergence of such a monarch was definitely not a good thing for the gods.

But none of this had anything to do with Tang Feng; he only needed to make a huge profit.

When learning that the whole city was looking for him, he returned to the tavern because it was too dangerous outside.

By evening, Dugu Piaoxue was already able to walk.

Though she was still visibly weak, she needed time to recover; knowing such common sense, Tang Feng didn't give her elixirs, but nurtured her with the Life Element.

Now, she recovered quite well.

At least appearing no different from ordinary people.

Her complexion improved significantly, too.

However, Dugu Piaoxue didn't walk for long before Tang Feng made her lie down again; nurturing was now the priority.

She obediently complied and soon talked to Tang Feng about family matters.

Like her most beloved little aunt, grandfather, and third aunt.

When mentioning her little aunt, Dugu Piaoxue's eyes shone with admiration and awe.

Tang Feng couldn't help but wonder, could this little aunt be an incredible person?

Indeed, he guessed right; little aunt Dugu Bing created a powerful force herself.

Ice Snow Divine Palace.

Its total strength wasn't inferior to the Dugu Family.

In some areas, it even excelled.

However, Ice Snow Divine Palace was isolated from the world, a sect existing purely for cultivation, never participating in outside palace struggles, only joining few sect alliances, spending the rest of the time cultivating within the palace.

As a result, every woman from Ice Snow Divine Palace was cold, proud, and powerful.

Which is why they looked down upon men weaker than themselves.

Seeing Dugu Piaoxue speak so enthusiastically, the gleam in her eyes said it all.

Her heart needed to soar once more.

If not for her illness, she might have been cultivating in the Ice Snow Divine Palace, naturally not meeting Tang Feng.

This sudden trouble in the Imperial City was unknown to the Ice Snow Divine Palace, and upon finding out, they were already unable to enter.

Dugu Bing was both anxious and angry, not concerned about the family for they had means to avoid calamity.

Yet, there was no news of Dugu Piaoxue.

Family members were now searching for Piao Xue everywhere, but to no avail.

Dugu Bing's most cherished niece disappearing was the worst news she could hear.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't re-enter the Imperial City, relying only on impossible dreams; those Star Divine Beasts would not spare anyone outside their own clan.

To them, they were the strongest.

So, entering the Imperial City head-on was not an option.

Thus, Dugu Bing felt more desolate.

And she didn't know that Dugu Piaoxue had regained her health and found a man she loved.

Every day was now filled with happiness; recalling her days of lament, Dugu Piaoxue realized she had been reborn, all thanks to Tang Feng; sometimes, when men and women unite, it can unleash world-shaking energy.

Another night passed, Tang Feng awoke in the middle of the night, lying next to Piao Xue, while the maid slept in the next room; hearing cries of alarm, she rushed into Dugu Piaoxue's room.

"Lady, it's bad, the Star Divine Beasts have invaded."

"Ah! What... what should we do?" Startled, Dugu Piaoxue looked at Tang Feng; his calm demeanor strangely calmed her down.

"Don't be afraid; as long as you stay in this room, even if the tavern disappears, we won't be harmed," said Tang Feng.

"I believe you, but Ah Feng, can you save my family?" Dugu Piaoxue asked Tang Dufeng, looking at him.

"Of course, your family is my beloved; just stay here for me, don't go out, don't talk to strangers, wait until I come back."

"Understood."

Tang Feng put on a stern face, then set off for the Dugu Family garrison with expectations from Dugu Piaoxue.

Passing through the Star Divine Beast crowd, Tang Feng saved many women, not saving a single man; don't ask why, Tang Feng just wouldn't save men anymore.

The Dugu Family estate was not comparable to major city families, at least occupying half the size of the Emperor Mansion.

Around the Dugu Family, thousands of Exotic Beasts protected it.

It looked quite eerie.

Yet amazingly, these Exotic Beasts indeed blocked the Star Divine Beasts' attack.

Seeing the Emperor Mansion completely wiped out, only then did the Star Divine Beasts spare the major races in the city.

Of course, humans remained dominant no matter where they were.

This was due to genetic inheritance, something the Alien Clan could never learn.

For instance, Dugu Piaoxue.

Everyone knew she was weak; it was no secret that Piaoxue of the Dugu Family wouldn't live long, yet no one dared harm her for one reason: they didn't dare to provoke the Dugu Family.
