CHAPTER 1219: CHAPTER 1219
When Yan Emperor heard the Battle Emperor's words, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I have to thank the Battle Emperor."
Battle Emperor waved his hand and invited, "In a month's time, the West Heaven Continent's Seed of the Continent competition will begin. At that time, Yan Emperor, please come to the Battle Emperor Palace and watch the battle."
Yan Emperor nodded with a smile and said, "I will come."
"If that's the case, then this emperor will wait for that day. I will sweep my bed to welcome you. Farewell."
The Battle Emperor smiled before he cupped his hands towards the Flame Emperor. A golden lustre burst out and enveloped Senior Winter in the next instant. The two of them disappeared from the horizon under everyone's gazes.
From the time Yan Emperor appeared to the time he left, Zhan Huang had never mentioned that he wanted Luo Li to be the Saintess. This was because from the moment Mu Chen invited Yan Emperor, Zhan Huang knew that he could no longer suppress Luo Li with his power.
Even if Mu Chen was only a puny Lesser Earth Sovereign in his eyes, someone that he could easily kill with a flip of his hand, there's more than one kind of power in the world.
Although Mu Chen was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, he knew how to borrow power … Borrowing power meant relying on others to resolve the situation. But what sort of figure was the Battle Emperor? He naturally knew that borrowing power wasn't easy in this world.
But Mu Chen could make use of his identity as a Lesser Earth Sovereign to borrow the power of Yan Emperor, which proved how extraordinary he was. At the very least, how many people in the Great Thousand World could achieve this?
Moreover, in his hands, in addition to the power of Yan Emperor, there was also Wu Zu's power.
Therefore, the Battle Emperor was very clear that Mu Chen, who had such a method, would not be able to defeat him.
Even if the other party was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, he couldn't suppress him with his cultivation as a Heavenly Sovereign.
If he forced it, it was very likely that he would anger Yan Emperor and Wu Zu. At that time, even someone like Zhan Huang would have to pay a heavy price.
Hence, the Battle Emperor had also given up on the idea of letting Luo Li be the Holy Maiden of the West Heaven Temple.
It's all because of that puny Lesser Earth Sovereign.
Although the Battle Emperor felt sullen about being forced to this step by a Lesser Earth Sovereign, he couldn't help feeling admiration for Mu Chen after pondering about it.
That's because the latter actually forced him, a Heavenly Sovereign, to return empty-handed with his cultivation at the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm. In the end, he even lost a quota for the Seed of the Continent.
His methods and intellect caused everyone to sigh in admiration. At this time, perhaps the Battle Emperor was starting to understand a little.
The reason why a figure like Emperor Yan would take such care of him was because of this young man.
Indeed, he had the potential of a young dragon.
Along with the departure of the Battle Emperor, the pressure that enveloped the Luo God Clan finally dissipated. After a brief silence, the clansmen of the Luo God Clan burst out in deafening cheers.
It was a kind of ecstasy that came from surviving a disaster.
Today's matter was too much of a rollercoaster ride. Countless clansmen of the Luo God Clan felt despair in their hearts.
They thought that today was the day of their Luo God Clan's annihilation.
But who could have imagined that the plot would be reversed time and time again? In the end, their Luo God Clan actually managed to survive, and even obtained the most perfect benefit from it.
Many clansmen had tears of joy on their faces because they knew that after today's calamity, their Luo God Clan would be reborn!
After today's calamity, their Luo God Clan would be reborn!
Luo Li had successfully obtained the inheritance of the Luo God Clan and even obtained the unprecedented acknowledgement of the ancestor.
Evidently, their Luo God Clan would have a great Empress.
Who knows, under Luo Li's leadership, their Luo God Clan might even be able to regain the glory of the ancient times.
Amidst the cheers, countless gazes shot towards the young figure in the sky. Those gazes were filled with deep gratitude and admiration.
All of them knew that it was practically this young man who'd solved the situation today that was done by himself.
He was the one who led a powerful party to the Luo God Clan and stopped the Blood God Clan's ambition. He was the one who stood firm when the West Heaven Temple interfered. He was also the one who invited the Endless Fire Territory's Yan Emperor when the West Heaven Battle Emperor descended …
If there was a slight mistake, their Luo God Clan would be doomed. But in the end, it was all because of this youth's perfect means that they managed to resolve the crisis.
It could be said that Mu Chen's performance today had practically conquered the clansmen of the Luo God Clan. Perhaps only such an outstanding man could be worthy of their noble Empress!
"Emperor Mu!"
"Emperor Mu!"
Suddenly, a frenzied voice resounded in the Luo God Clan, which spread out like magic. Countless clansmen of the Luo God Clan roared with their faces flushed red. In an instant, the entire region was filled with ear-deafening voices.
"Emperor Mu!
Emperor Mu! "
Luo Qingya, Luo Xiu and the other experts of the Luo God Clan looked at the excited clansmen of the Luo God Clan and exchanged a look. Right now, the Luo God Clan only had one acknowledged Empress. But if the Empress had a lover and the person she loved was also acknowledged by the Luo God Clan, then the person she loved would become the other Empress of their Luo God Clan.
Evidently, the clansmen of the Luo God Clan weren't blind. They could tell the relationship between Luo Li and Mu Chen. Most importantly, Mu Chen's performance today had won over the clansmen of the Luo God Clan. So under the excitement of surviving a calamity, they had also yelled out the recognition in the depths of their hearts.
This was what the hearts of the masses wanted.
Luo Qingya, Luo Xiu and the other experts of the Luo God Clan sighed as they exchanged a look and roared out with their arms raised.
That's because the ordinary clansmen weren't the only ones that were won over. Even they were sincerely convinced at this moment.
After all, how many people in the world could remain fearless under the pressure of a Heavenly Sovereign? Furthermore, they could even bring out means to restrain the pressure of a Heavenly Sovereign?
Luo Tianshen couldn't help smiling as he looked at the youth in the sky and sighed. He recalled a few years ago, when he went to Hokuang Reiwon to pick up Luo Li …
At that time, the youth was still immature. He was like an eagle in an ivory tower. Although he was sharp, he was still young and inexperienced. Back then, Luo Tianshen did not have a high opinion of him and only treated him as a lucky brat that managed to obtain the favour of Luo Li.
However, at that time, he would never have imagined that the young man from before would appear in front of him like a savior in a short few years.
After all these years, the immaturity of the youth had faded and the sharpness of the past had been revealed.
"Luo Li's eyesight is good."
Luo Tianshen sighed. All these years, Luo Li had suffered quite a bit of pressure in the clan. Everyone was doubting her eyesight, but she wasn't swayed.
A deafening roar reverberated across the horizon, while Luo Li's original noble and elegant demeanor had completely vanished at this moment. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling, while her face was flushed red. Her little face was slightly drooping, while her rarely seen bashful appearance caused ripples in the hearts of countless people.
That's because she knew what the clansmen of the Luo God Clan addressed Mu Chen as.
It was the greatest acknowledgement for Mu Chen. That also meant that the clansmen of the Luo God Clan had acknowledged her relationship with Mu Chen.
She looked at Luo Tianshen and saw the latter nodding his head with a benevolent smile. The meaning behind his actions couldn't be clearer.
Up in the sky, facing the earth-shattering shouts, Mu Chen scratched his head. Turning his head, he looked at the beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth. Her bashful appearance was sufficient to cause the sun and moon to lose their splendour. Waves uncontrollably surged in his heart.
"Luo Li."
Mu Chen softly called out as he looked at the girl's bright eyes and said with a little embarrassment, "My promise to you in the past seems to be a little fake …"
Many years ago, in the quiet Spiritual Academy, the young man had made a promise to the young woman. He wanted to become a supreme expert and shield her from the wind and rain …
Looking at the handsome and determined face of the youth before her, Luo Li's eyes couldn't help turning slightly red. Perhaps others might think that such a promise was a joke, but only she knew that the man before her had truly been fighting and advancing with this goal in mind for all these years.
The path of a peerless expert was filled with tribulations and thorns, and it was sufficient to grind a person with a firm will to the point of being unrecognizable and covered in injuries. So, she knew very well exactly how great of a price the young man before her had paid and how many times he'd experienced life and death in order to arrive at this step.
Just thinking about all this made her heart ache slightly.
"It's been hard on you." Luo Li bit down on her rosy lips as her eyes turned red.
Mu Chen smiled as she looked at Luo Li and said, "Luo Li, do you still remember what I said to you before you left …"
Luo Li gently nodded her head. The scenes from that day were still clear to her. Every single word that Mu Chen said rang out in her ears.
"Luo Li, I like you. Although the Luo God Clan is too far for me right now, and I'm unable to get your grandfather and the other clansmen to acknowledge me, they might even doubt your eyesight and think that you've fallen for a lucky brat. You will also bear great pressure, but …"
"Believe me, there will be a day when I come to the Luo God Clan. At that time, I will let everyone know that what you've found isn't an ordinary stone in the desert, but a diamond that's more dazzling than any other stone …"
Mu Chen looked into the eyes of the beautiful girl before her as she gently smiled.
"All these years, I've been working hard because of this …"
In that instant, Luo Li could no longer hold back the emotions in her heart as tears instantly burst out from her eyes.
