In truth, even Zhao Qingyun hadn't expected that Long Chen would be able to defeat the Sword Emperor. Back then, after Long Chen had killed Lin Zichen, Long Chen had said that he would come to the Imperial City to deal with the Sword Emperor. Zhao Qingyun guessed that it would be a few months before Long Chen truly had the strength to deal with the Sword Emperor.
Zhao Qingyun himself still had doubts about what happened two months ago.
But what shocked him was that Long Chen had not only defeated a Sword Emperor, but he had also defeated two Sword Emperors. Zhao Qingyun still had some lingering fears about the matter of two Sword Emperors. If it wasn't for Long Chen, and if a Sword Emperor was in a bad mood, then Heavenly Devil Palace would have been destroyed. It had to be known that even if it was a Sword Emperor, Zhao Qingyun didn't know if he would have been able to fight.
For the demon elders, Long Chen's position in their hearts had already risen to the level of God. At this time, they stood in front of Long Chen, still trembling. After all, they had offended Long Chen. If Long Chen took revenge now, then they would be finished.
"First Demon Elder, Second Demon Elder, long time no see …" Long Chen looked at them and smiled softly.
"Yes, yes." First Demon Elder said nervously.
Long Chen really couldn't be bothered to look at the two of them, and said, "The patriarch of the Zhou Clan is currently leading some people to the Ni Yang Immortal Realm to recruit Celestial Tier-level divine guards. In the future, the Ni Yang Immortal Realm will belong to the Heaven Demon Palace. You two are at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, so go over there and contribute some strength," Long Chen directly commanded.
To be honest, the two demon elders were his elders, but now Long Chen had the right to order them.
It was all because of strength.
"Okay, okay …" The First Demon Elder and the Second Demon Elder looked at each other and were about to leave. Although they felt a bit degraded to be asked to run errands by Long Chen, they were very excited at the thought that they were going to take over the legendary Ni Yang's Fairyland.
"Little Yu, stay."
Seeing that Murong Yu was about to follow them, Long Chen hurriedly said. Murong Yu was stunned for a moment, then she stopped and didn't leave.
At this time, Murong Yu had restored her appearance. She was much more beautiful than she had imagined. She was already somewhat used to Long Chen's heaven-defying actions. Therefore, she was much calmer than her master and martial uncle. She looked at Long Chen as though they were old friends that she hadn't seen for a long time. She didn't feel the slightest bit restrained.
"Let's sit down and talk. Chen 'er, this old man still has many things to ask you."
Zhao Qingyun laughed. The three of them sat down in the throne room of the Royal Clan. Zhao Qingyun hurriedly asked, "Chen 'er, I heard that two Sword Emperors have appeared. What's going on? When I heard the news, I was really shocked."
Long Chen pondered for a moment, and he decided that it was better not to tell Zhao Qingyun. So he said, "Actually, I don't know either. But fortunately, the two Sword Emperors are dead now, so let those mysteries disappear."
"I think it should be the Sword Emperor. They should be twin brothers. The two of them have the same strength and share the same identity. However, why are they doing this?" Murong Yu interrupted.
"We don't know about the Sword Emperors. But Chen 'er, now that you've defeated him and controlled the Cangyang Kingdom, what are you going to do next?" Zhao Qingyun asked.
"Now that the Sword Emperors are dead, if there's no one to manage the Cangyang Kingdom, there will be chaos. I can't manage the kingdom by myself, but the Cangyang Kingdom needs someone to manage it. Moreover, the Heavenly Devil Palace is a force comparable to the Royal Clan. Master, I've said before that I'll give the Cangyang Kingdom to you. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. You must accept it." Long Chen said firmly.
Zhao Qingyun laughed involuntarily.
"Little guy, your words are so pleasant to hear. In fact, you just want this old man to clean up your mess."
Zhao Qingyun said with a smile. He understood Long Chen too well. With Long Chen's temperament, it was impossible for him to stay here and be the ruler of the kingdom. His ambition should be to travel far and wide.
So, at this time, he, Zhao Qingyun, had to step forward and be the ruler of a nation. After all, Long Chen was the disciple he was the proudest of.
Of course, the Heavenly Devil Palace would also gain a lot of benefits from controlling the Cangyang Kingdom. It should be a win-win situation.
"Only the Heavenly Devil Palace can control the Cangyang Kingdom. But Chen 'er, you know that I'm a free and easy person. I don't even want to manage the Heavenly Devil Palace, let alone the Cangyang Kingdom. So, I can't do it." Zhao Qingyun suddenly became serious and said slowly.
Long Chen was startled and said, "Master, you can't be like this."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm just saying that my old bones are not suitable to be the ruler of a kingdom. But there is someone who is still young and definitely more suitable than me." Zhao Qingyun laughed.
"You're right." Long Chen couldn't guess it at the moment.
"Why have you become stupid? It's so far away, but right before your eyes." Zhao Qingyun laughed and looked at Murong Yu.
Long Chen finally understood what Zhao Qingyun was referring to.
Long Chen knew that he couldn't be the ruler of the Cangyang Kingdom or the Heavenly Devil Palace Master. In fact, these two positions had to be held by one person.
Among the young disciples of the Heavenly Devil Palace, the strongest after Long Chen was Murong Yu. She was at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier and was familiar with the Traceless Demon Shadow and the Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Technique. She only lacked the Demon Emperor Sword Dao. Yang Jun, who was ranked third, had not reached the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier because of a series of setbacks.
At this moment, Murong Yu only needed an opportunity to increase her strength to a level that surpassed the three great demon elders.
"Me." At this moment, Murong Yu was stunned. She didn't think that the topic would actually be brought up to this point.
When Zhao Qingyun mentioned Murong Yu, Long Chen's eyes lit up. Long Chen wasn't the Heavenly Devil Palace Master. When Zhao Qingyun retired, the position of the Heavenly Devil Palace Master would definitely belong to Murong Yu. And if Zhao Qingyun became the Cangyang Kingdom's emperor, he would still have to pass it on to Murong Yu in the future. In that case, it would be better to let Murong Yu be the empress now.
Whether it was strength, temperament, or ability, Murong Yu was a well-deserved candidate. Moreover, in the Heavenly Devil Palace, the two great demon elders would definitely support Murong Yu. Even Zhao Qingyun liked this little girl. In that case, with the assistance of the two great demon elders and Zhao Qingyun, Murong Yu was definitely a more suitable candidate than Zhao Qingyun.
Long Chen was so excited that he jumped up and said with a smile, "Alright, it's settled. Little Yu, you will be the empress of the Cangyang Kingdom from now on."
Long Chen was like a hands-off boss. Therefore, once the person was decided, he immediately threw the trouble to Murong Yu.
"I will be the empress."
For a moment, Murong Yu felt that it was a joke. She just wanted to cultivate in the Heavenly Devil Palace. Who would have thought that she would be pushed to the forefront of the storm.
"That's right. Little Yu, you are the most suitable candidate. Let's settle this matter then. In the future, I will still have to let you be the Sky Devil Palace Master." Zhao Qingyun looked kindly at Murong Yu and chuckled.
"Heavenly Devil Palace Master, isn't it Long Chen who will still be the empress?" Murong Yu had always thought that this was the case because the Demon Emperor Sword was in Long Chen's hands.
"Based on your understanding of Chen 'er, do you think he will be willing to take on such an arduous and unrewarding task? That kid can't wait to be free and unfettered in the world. Why would he be bound by the position of the Heavenly Devil Palace Master, let alone the Cangyang Kingdom's emperor?" Zhao Qingyun shook his head and said.
Murong Yu looked at the two of them and her heart was in a dilemma. Frankly speaking, it was not impossible for her to take on the role. It was just that she had never thought that it would be like this. Hence, she was very surprised and could not decide for a moment. After all, she knew that the ruler of a country needed to pay attention to many things, learn many things, and govern many things. If she did not do well, what should she do?
"No, I will not do well. I will disappoint you …" Murong Yu shook her head bitterly and said.
"Bullsh * t. If even you can't do well, I, as a martial artist, will not be able to do well. Little Yu, you were originally the goddess of the Heavenly Devil Palace. Now that you have become the goddess of the Cangyang Kingdom, I think all the men in the Cangyang Kingdom will go crazy with joy." Long Chen laughed.
His unscrupulous words made Murong Yu's face turn red.
Long Chen was praising her beauty.
Ever since she was young, ever since she got that scar, even if she used a human skin mask to cover it up, she had always felt inferior. Ever since Lingxi restored her appearance, she had become much more confident.
At this moment, Long Chen stood up and walked in front of her. He looked down at her and said, "To be honest, you don't have to worry about not doing well. Don't you still have the two Demonic Elders to help you? Those two old fellows manage the Heavenly Devil Palace in an orderly manner. Where are the strong ones? If you encounter something that you can't solve, you can directly send a message to my master. He will definitely rush over immediately. With so many people protecting you, what can't be done? Moreover, I have a big gift for you today …"
Speaking up to this point, Long Chen took a few steps back.
"A big gift." What would it be? Murong Yu discovered that she was actually looking forward to it.
"This is my spoil of war."
As Long Chen spoke, he took out something from his Qiankun Bag. Instantly, the entire Throne Room was covered in a golden brilliance. Murong Yu and Zhao Qingyun fixed their eyes on it and said with some surprise, "The Emperor Sword."
"Yes, this is the Emperor Sword. Master, I have taken the Demon Emperor Sword. I don't want to change it anymore. In the future, this Emperor Sword will be your national treasure. The Emperor Sword Principle in the Emperor Sword is suitable for Xiaoyu to cultivate. Become the Empress of Cangyang Kingdom and possess this Emperor Sword. Only then will it be worthy of your status."
Looking at the Emperor Sword in Long Chen's hand, Murong Yu bit her lips. She knew that this was a great opportunity. Her goal since young was the Demon Emperor Sword. And now, the Emperor Sword, which was similar to the Demon Emperor Sword, was placed in front of her.
After hesitating for a moment, Murong Yu exhaled and said firmly, "Alright, I will be the Empress."
"That's more like it."
With a toss, Long Chen threw the Emperor Sword into Murong Yu's hands. With Murong Yu's strength at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, she would definitely be able to successfully obtain the Emperor Sword Principle.
With Murong Yu's support, the trouble caused by killing the Sword Emperor was finally resolved.
