Having just returned to the Northern Cloud Residence, Ye Feng went straight into the study. Hong Qingyan, along with Xiao Chuanqi and others, stopped outside and did not follow, as they knew the study was the Northern King's sanctuary, where no one was allowed to enter without his command. Inside, the Northern King dealt with major military affairs of the nation, and it was also where intelligence from various regions was gathered.
Indeed, the moment Ye Feng stepped into the Northern Cloud Residence, he instantly sensed the presence of Shadow. Judging by the looks of it, Shadow must have been waiting in the study for quite some time, appearing rather urgent. This likely meant that something significant had occurred.
Therefore, Ye Feng abandoned his original plan to immediately absorb the luck of the emperors from the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll and instead walked into the study. As soon as he entered, Shadow's figure immediately emerged from the darkness.
