However, after seeing you today, I realize that the rumors clearly underestimated Pavilion Master Chen. Pavilion Master Chen's strength has never been matched by anyone in the past ten thousand years. The title of the strongest person on the continent belongs to Pavilion Master Chen."
The old emperor smiled casually at Chen Feng's words and brushed them aside. Not only that, he also praised Chen Feng fiercely.
As the saying goes, never hit a smiling person. As the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, the old emperor lowered his posture so much that even when facing Chen Feng, he did not even say "I" but called him "me". It can be imagined how much he feared Chen Feng's power.
If it weren't for Chen Feng, if someone else dared to show such an attitude towards the old emperor, the old emperor would have ordered someone to cut him into pieces and then punish his entire clan.
When Chen Feng heard the old emperor's words, he thought to himself, "This old emperor is really flexible and worthy of being Xu Tianran's biological father. The two of them are cut from the same cloth. They are both very patient in the face of unfavorable situations."
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Since you are so sensible, I won't be able to kill you."
Although Chen Feng had a smile on his face, his words made all the civil and military officials in the hall feel a chill down their spines.
The leader of the Sea God Pavilion, Chen Feng, is killing people while chatting and laughing. It is really terrifying... He is the emperor who controls the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people!
The old emperor was not afraid at all when he heard Chen Feng's words. He had been the emperor for so many years and had gone through many ups and downs. His state of mind had long been as solid as a rock.
Chen Feng could kill the old emperor with one sword, but it was impossible to make the old emperor tremble with fear because of a single word.
The old emperor said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master Chen, as an unrivaled powerhouse, please stop teasing my Sun Moon Empire.
The responsibility for the siege and killing of Pavilion Master Chen this time lies entirely with me. No matter what compensation Pavilion Master Chen wants, as long as my Sun Moon Empire has it, I can give it to him.
Even if Pavilion Master Chen feels unhappy, then Pavilion Master Chen can take my life."
The old emperor took the blame for Xu Tianran's crime on himself.
When these words came out, everyone was shocked. The civil and military officials who had been keeping their heads down could no longer sit still and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do this!!"
Unfortunately, Chen Feng had already learned from Juzi that the culprit who planned the siege against him was Xu Tianran. The old emperor's attempt to take the blame was undoubtedly a waste of effort. After all, Xu Tianran's soul had been wiped out by Chen Feng, leaving only his body controlled by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng looked at the emperor with white hair sitting on the dragon throne, who looked like a majestic old dragon, and prepared to start showing off his acting skills.
Although he didn't kill him, Chen Feng still had to pretend and go through the process.
Chen Feng's smile faded, and he looked like he knew nothing about it. With murderous intent on his face, he said, "Killing you with one blow wouldn't be too easy for you. You only have two days left to live. You will slowly experience the despair and powerlessness of death."
When the old emperor heard Chen Feng's words, his face froze and he was a little upset. As an emperor, as the most powerful person in the world, he could not live forever and could only watch his body age and wither until he died. This was definitely an extremely painful thing.
But it only took a moment for the old emperor to return to normal.
The old emperor sat on the throne and said, "Master Chen, since you proposed today's meeting, feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as my Sun Moon Empire can satisfy it, we will do it."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "I asked? Hahaha, no no no, the amount of compensation is your own business.
But if the compensation does not satisfy me, then today, I do not mind going on a killing spree, staining this palace with blood, and killing all the civil and military officials of your Sun Moon Empire."
After he finished speaking, a black sun and a blue moon appeared behind Chen Feng, shining brightly against each other.
The surrounding space was shaking, and a terrifying aura enveloped the entire palace.
All the civil and military officials in the hall looked pale, even though each of them was very powerful and most of them were high-level soul masters, including some who were level nine soul masters.
But under Chen Feng's terrifying aura, he still felt frightened, as if he was going to die in the next moment.
To have absolute power is to have absolute authority.
The relationship between Chen Feng and the Sun-Moon Empire has never been an equal one. Chen Feng is the winner, and the Sun-Moon Empire is the loser.
Only Chen Feng put forward conditions to the Sun-Moon Empire and made things difficult for the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire had no right to say no to Chen Feng's request.
Unless all the top leaders of the Sun-Moon Empire are not afraid of death and would rather fight with Chen Feng and be killed than meet the demands put forward by Chen Feng.
After hearing what Chen Feng said, all the civil and military officials present were smart people. They naturally knew that Chen Feng's decision not to make any demands but to let them decide on how much compensation to pay was the most difficult to grasp.
The compensation was too much, and the old emperor felt distressed, and so did the prince who was about to ascend the throne.
If the compensation was too little, they were afraid of angering Chen Feng, which would make him dissatisfied and cause him to fly into a rage and start killing on the spot.
Anyway, no matter how much the compensation is, it will make one party unhappy.
For a moment, all the civil and military officials present looked at each other, and no one dared to speak or make a decision.
So, all the civil and military officials in the hall turned their eyes to the old emperor and let him decide for himself. They didn't dare to interfere anyway.
As a minister, with his thin arms and legs, no one dared to offend him.
If Kong Deming were here, he could make the decision. After all, as the strongest person in the Sun-Moon Empire, his status is even higher than that of the emperor.
Even the emperor would not object too much to the decisions made by Kong Deming.
However, Kong Deming was seriously injured and is now recovering from his injuries, so he did not attend the meeting at all.
The old emperor sitting on the dragon throne looked at the people below in silence, knowing the mentality of these civil and military officials.
After a brief thought, the old emperor said to Chen Feng, "Since Pavilion Master Chen said so, then I will tell you.
However, if Pavilion Master Chen is not satisfied with something, there is no need to take action. Just bring it up directly. "
The old emperor said carefully, "I heard that Shrek Academy is vigorously developing soul guides. My Sun Moon Empire is willing to compensate Shrek Academy with a large amount of rare metals, including 3,000 kilograms of red gold, 1,000 kilograms of red quenched iron, and 1,000 kilograms of water-soft silver..."
After hearing the old emperor's words, Chen Feng did not express anything, but Xian Lin'er, who was standing behind Chen Feng, was so excited that her eyes glowed green.
These rare metals are all high-end goods, and are all specialty resources that are strictly prohibited from being exported by the Sun-Moon Empire. They are indispensable for making high-end soul guides.
In the past, even if Shrek Academy spent a lot of money to purchase goods on the black market, it was simply impossible to buy them. Even if it was possible to buy them, it was only a tiny amount and was not enough.
Now, hearing the old emperor directly throwing out so much, Xian Lin'er was immediately moved.
Xian Lin'er thought excitedly, "If I had these rare metals, I could try to make a ninth-level soul guide."
Without waiting for Xian Lin'er to calm down, the old emperor continued, "In addition to rare metals, my Sun Moon Empire is willing to provide Shrek Academy with five ninth-level soul guide production drawings, eighteen eighth-level soul guide production drawings, and thirty-six seventh-level soul guide production drawings."
Xian Lin'er was shocked to hear that the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire not only compensated for the rare metals, but also compensated for the precious ninth-level soul guide production drawings! !
The whole person was immediately stunned by this generous move. You know, there is not even a ninth-level soul engineer in the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms, nor is there a blueprint for making a ninth-level soul guide device.
The complexity of the ninth-level soul guide manufacturing blueprint is, seriously, more than ten times that of the eighth-level soul guide manufacturing blueprint.
The blueprints are even more valuable than the ninth-level soul guides, because with the blueprints, one can make the soul guides step by step.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to go through the entire process from design, research and development to testing... and production.
Designing a ninth-level soul guide is much more difficult than making one.
Even many ninth-level soul engineers in the Sun-Moon Empire could only design one ninth-level soul guide device in their lifetime.
This is also the reason why there has been no ninth-level soul mentor in Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy for so many years.
Without any blueprints in hand, I had to rely entirely on my own research and creation, so the progress was naturally slow.
Creating a new path is always the most difficult, and practicing step by step is always the easiest.
Designing a ninth-level soul guide is much more difficult than breaking through from Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo.
If Shrek Academy had the drawings for making a ninth-level soul guide, it would be able to make a ninth-level soul guide very quickly.
When Xian Lin'er heard about the compensation offered by the old emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, she almost wanted to agree to it on behalf of Chen Feng.
Xian Lin'er's mother, Old Song, was also very happy. As a leader of the Soul Guidance Department, although Old Song did not practice Soul Guidance Instruments, he knew a lot about Soul Guidance Instruments and naturally understood the preciousness of these things.
However, Titled Douluo from Shrek Academy such as Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe had no interest in these rare metals and soul guide drawings, and some of them even yawned out of boredom.
The old emperor looked at the excited expressions of Xian Lin'er and Song Lao, and thought to himself, "The Shrek Academy is now vigorously developing soul guides. They will definitely be unable to resist these blueprints and rare metals."
But he soon discovered that except for Xian Lin'er and Old Song, everyone else had no expression and did not look very satisfied.
Seeing this, the old emperor began to think, such precious rare metals and blueprints can't satisfy them? No, most of the people in Shrek Academy are pure soul masters.
I showed them the blueprints for making rare metals and soul guides, but it was just like flirting with a blind man. My efforts were in vain.
I should take out things that can impress soul masters as compensation, instead of these things that can impress soul mentors.
The old emperor thought about it and figured out the reason behind it. He immediately continued, "Master Chen, in addition to these, my Sun Moon Empire is willing to compensate... elixirs. These elixirs can help high-level soul masters break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation.
These resources are offered by our Sun Moon Empire with both hands. I only hope that Pavilion Master Chen can show mercy and forgive our Sun Moon Empire's unintentional mistake."
Hearing that the old emperor had taken out the precious elixir, Xuan Lao and the others also showed happy expressions on their faces.
Only Chen Feng had no expression on his face. He said calmly, "Although these things are precious, they still lack a little meaning."
The old emperor and the civil and military officials in the hall were still not satisfied after hearing this. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts, "How greedy! With so many good things, they are still not satisfied."
But as the person with the biggest fist present, what Chen Feng said was naturally an imperial decree.
The old emperor had no choice but to continue to increase the compensation to satisfy Chen Feng.
The old emperor thought about the information about Chen Feng and his eyes lit up.
The corner of his mouth curled up with a strange smile and said, "In addition, my Sun Moon Empire is willing to send talented disciples and outstanding students from the royal family to Shrek Academy for study.
To express the Sun-Moon Empire's respect for Shrek Academy.
Furthermore, from now on, Shrek Academy can set up a recruitment location in our Sun Moon Empire to recruit students."
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the hall felt heartbroken when they heard the emperor's compensation.
Rare metals, precious blueprints, high-level elixirs, and talents. Except for the country's land, everything else that could be compensated was compensated.
Chen Feng glanced at the old emperor. He knew the Sun-Moon Empire very well and knew that the old emperor had not handed over the most valuable things of the Sun-Moon Empire, such as the humanoid soul guide.
However, this doesn’t matter to Chen Feng. He has secretly controlled the Sun-Moon Empire, and the Sun-Moon Empire will still be of great use in the future.
It would be bad if the Sun-Moon Empire was really drained dry and its strength was greatly reduced.
At this time, Chen Feng felt that the time was right and that the acting was enough, so he decided to stop immediately.
Chen Feng nodded slightly and said, "Rare metals, elixirs, blueprints, and people, all of these must be prepared as soon as possible and then sent to Shrek Academy. If you cut corners, you will know the consequences."
Seeing that Chen Feng had finally given in, the old emperor heaved a sigh of relief and quickly assured, "Master Chen, don't worry. I will send someone to prepare it right away. Once it's ready, I will personally send someone to deliver it to Shrek Academy."
Seeing this, Chen Feng no longer stayed in the hall, but turned around and left with the strong men from Shrek Academy.
The civil and military officials of the Sun-Moon Empire looked at the departing backs of Chen Feng and others, feeling mixed emotions.
The old emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, held his forehead and said with a tired face, "The next matter will be handled by the crown prince. I will adjourn the court."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
Six pm.
Chen Feng tore through space, and led a group of people from Shrek Academy onto the space passage back to Shrek Academy.
