Just as Mad Tooth was hesitating, Savage Leopard said another piece of information that made Mad Tooth speechless, "Young Master is also a Grade Six Alchemist, and he himself knows the Soul Race's powerful spiritual force attack. With his current strength, I'm afraid even an Empyrean would find it difficult to pose any threat to him. In addition, he also has two protective spirit beasts, a Rank 6 Golden Wolf King and a Rank 7 Blue Flood Dragon. These were all obtained by Young Master with his own ability, and you must know that he is only 24 years old this year!"
Mad Tooth hurriedly asked, "He … Not only is he a Grade Six Alchemist, but he also knows the Soul Race's spiritual force attack, which means he is one of the rarest spiritual force masters on the continent?"
Savage Leopard nodded and said, "Otherwise, how could he enter your sea of consciousness and restore your consciousness?"
Although Mad Tooth was shocked by Ling Xiao's many identities, he still asked doubtfully, "Could it be that he is the monstrous successor of some large sect or ancient family?"
Savage Leopard shook his head and said, "If he is the successor of one of those large sects or ancient families, then his current achievements would not have been created by himself, and he would not be worthy of my and Xuan Jizi's recognition. He is just a disciple from a Grade Eight sect in the northwest. Young Master's Tenbin is astonishing, and his opportunities are even more difficult for others to obtain. His future is definitely not something you can imagine. Perhaps … The Holy Emperor is not his end!"
Mad Tooth looked at Savage Leopard with a complicated expression. In his heart, he developed a strong curiosity towards Ling Xiao, but he did not have the heart to submit. After all, people at his level of strength all had unimaginable arrogance, and his state of mind was extremely tenacious. He would not change anything just because of a few words from Savage Leopard.
Unless Ling Xiao could overwhelm him with strength, perhaps he would be willing to accept it!
"Big Brother, maybe you're right, but I don't know how long it will take for him to reach that realm. Why don't I go talk to your young master and ask him to leave with me? After we get our revenge, we'll live together. Sometimes we'll cultivate, sometimes we'll travel the world, and we'll taste the leisure that we didn't enjoy in our early years!" Mad Tooth persuaded Cruel Leopard instead.
Savage Leopard revealed an anxious expression and said, "Mad Tooth, listen to big brother this time. Only by following young master can we go further in the future."
He had already promised Ling Xiao that he would persuade Mad Tooth to chase after Ling Xiao. If Mad Tooth turned back now, he really didn't know how to explain it to his young master.
"Big brother, there's no need to do this. With my current strength, it won't be a problem for me to find many resources for you to cultivate back to your peak strength. Following him might just be a waste of time," said Mad Tooth.
"No … … Mad Tooth, you and I do not know Young Master's identity, he … … he is the only disciple of Lord Romantic Evil Emperor who we had always idolized!" Savage Leopard lost his cool and roared at Mad Tooth.
"Whose disciple is Guan …" Mad Tooth said disapprovingly. However, when he said that, he stopped, and the pupils in his old eyes shrank. "He … he is Lord Demonic Emperor's only disciple?"
Savage Leopard nodded and said seriously, "That's right. A year ago, I saw Lord Demonic Emperor's heroic bearing with my own eyes. Young Master is really Lord Demonic Emperor's successor."
"Then … …" Then, what's Lord Demonic Emperor's strength now? "Mad Tooth asked with a glint in his old eyes.
Towards one of the Four Great Legends of the Central Region, the Evil Emperor, there were countless people who worshipped him, and Savage Leopard and Mad Tooth were the Evil Emperor's mercenaries and admirers.
"I'm not sure exactly which realm he's at, but I've seen your battle with the Earth Flame Tiger. With your strength, perhaps … …" Originally, you wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Lord Demonic Emperor. He has long since gone to the Heaven Realm, so his strength should have long reached the Holy Emperor's realm!
Savage Leopard did not know the Evil Emperor's strength, but based on his many years of experience, he could feel that the gap between Mad Tooth and the Evil Emperor was still very big.
In order to make Mad Tooth stay by his young master's side, he had no choice but to bring up the Evil Emperor.
If this still couldn't convince Mad Tooth, then he had no other choice.
Mad Tooth sighed heavily and said, "Lord Demonic Emperor is truly a heaven-sent hero!"
"En, even he has taken a fancy to Young Master. Do you think his judgment would be bad?" Savage Leopard asked.
Mad Tooth smiled bitterly and said, "Since Big Brother says that your Young Master is so good, then I'll try to follow by his side to see if he's as monstrous as you say. If I find out that he's just an idiot, then I'll immediately bring you away."
"Alright … …" "You'll know in the future that Big Brother didn't lie to you." Savage Leopard quickly replied happily.
Mad Tooth raised his hand and said, "Big Brother, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking." He paused for a moment and said, "Although he's Lord Demonic Emperor's disciple, I'm not following him to be his servant, but to repay him for saving us. Let's set a time limit of ten years. In these ten years, I can protect his safety, but I won't help him do anything else. If he can make me completely submit within ten years, then I'll follow him. If he can't make me submit, then how about you leave with me?"
Mad Tooth was very interested in the young master that Savage Leopard mentioned. He had not thought that the young master would actually be Lord Demonic Emperor's disciple, but this did not mean that he would put down his dignity to be Ling Xiao's servant. The Evil Emperor was the Evil Emperor, and Ling Xiao was just a disciple. Whether Ling Xiao could become the second Evil Emperor was still uncertain.
"No problem, ten years it is." Savage Leopard agreed readily.
He wanted to believe that with Young Master's ability, he would be able to conquer Mad Tooth sooner or later. Thinking back to the time when he followed Young Master willingly, wasn't he still following Young Master?
…
After Savage Leopard and Mad Tooth talked about the old days, Savage Leopard told Ling Xiao about Mad Tooth's decision without missing a word.
Ling Xiao was very casual about this and said, "Ten years it is. After ten years, whether I want him to follow me or not is still unknown."
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Savage Leopard could not help but worry about Mad Tooth. He completely believed in Young Master's words.
Ten years might not be a big deal for powerful warriors, but for Ling Xiao, it was full of too many unknowns. However, Savage Leopard could imagine that his Young Master could create many miracles in this time.
"Fraud, the Moon Emperor List competition will start in one day, right?
Where should we go to sign up? "Ling Xiao asked Xuan Yao, who was beside him.
Xuan Yao replied, "The North Water Region is the territory of the Black Demon Sect, so it's not a good idea to be in the limelight here. We can choose to sign up in Blue Sun City, which is close to the North Water Region. Blue Sun City is a city directly under the Blue Sun Sect, which is a fourth-grade sect. Only fourth-grade sects or cities directly under the Blue Sun Sect, which is comparable to a fourth-grade sect, can sign up for the Emperor List competition. Each city will decide the top ten, and then they will go to a designated place to fight. Then, the top ten will be decided there, and so on. After many rounds of elimination, the last one hundred will be decided, and then the top ten will fight."
"I see. Then let's not delay any longer. Let's hurry up." Ling Xiao nodded.
Ling Xiao and the others rushed out of the Big Mountain and immediately returned to Bi Xiong City. Then, they were teleported to other cities. After three consecutive teleportations, Ling Xiao and the others arrived at Blue Sun City.
Although Blue Sun City couldn't compare to a super big city like Wind City, it was still extremely prosperous and bustling. Especially since the Imperial Rankings Tournament was about to be held every ten years, the young geniuses from cities near Blue Sun City all rushed over one after another.
These young prodigies rode on powerful spirit beasts as they swaggered through the streets with extremely arrogant expressions on their faces.
They were all elites from various cities, and there were also disciples of the fifth and sixth-grade sects. There were also some powerful mercenaries and rogue cultivators.
These people were all under a hundred years old, which was considered young for a strong cultivator.
When an ordinary person cultivated to the Earth Sovereign Realm, their appearance would age much slower.
For example, Ling Xiao, Xuan Yao, and the others all broke through to the Earth Sovereign Realm when they were in their twenties. Their appearance would rarely age within a hundred years. If they could still break through at an extremely fast speed, when they reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm or the Mystic Thearch Realm, their appearance would not change much, and they would still look young.
After all, the stronger the expert, the more vigorous their life force, and the earlier they could break through, they would be able to ensure that their appearance would not age.
The Emperor List Competition had been going on for tens of thousands of years.
It was started by the number one hall in the Central Region, the Spiritual Martial Hall.
The Spiritual Martial Hall was always the supreme force in the Central Region. Even the most famous Black Demon Sect did not dare to provoke the people of the Spiritual Martial Hall. This showed how powerful the Spiritual Martial Hall was.
The Spiritual Martial Hall proposed the Emperor List Competition with the goal of promoting the martial arts in the Central Region. At the same time, they would take this opportunity to recruit young talents from all over the Central Region to join the Spiritual Martial Hall.
Every time a Combat Emperor entered the top hundred, thirty percent of them would choose to join the Martial Spirit Pavilion. The rest of them would return to their own factions to further their development. There were also a portion of them who were invited by some major factions to join them.
This was also the reason why the Emperor List Competition was approved by all the major forces.
Every ten years, there would be Third Level Combat Emperor geniuses joining the Spiritual Martial Hall to replenish the fresh blood. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it could be seen how terrifying the Spiritual Martial Hall was.
It could be said that the Emperor List Competition was a stage where geniuses from all over the world gathered. At the same time, it was also the focus of all the major forces. They would find some good seedlings and let them become the new generation's representatives or representatives.
Those geniuses from all over the world would desperately show their strongest side, or fight for glory for themselves, their sect, or their family, or fight for more cultivation resources.
Every year, the list of the Emperor List Competition would be made public. Every Earth Emperor who achieved good results would have the opportunity to become famous in the Central Region.
Earth Emperors who could enter the top one thousand were the best of the best. Even if they didn't enter the top one hundred, they would still become the target of the major forces.
Therefore, ever since the Emperor List Competition was held, it was always very lively. Earth Emperors from all over the world would gather and display their abilities. They fought fiercely in all directions, hoping that one day, their names would be known in the Central Region.
Ling Xiao and the others were also preparing for the Emperor List Competition in the Blue Sun City!
