Within the Flowing Sun Sect, the entire sect celebrated for three days and three nights, congratulating Liu Xu for becoming the Emperor!
This was the second person to become an Emperor since the establishment of the Flowing Sun Sect. Furthermore, he had achieved it at such a young age, enough to make all the martial artists revere him.
A Mysterious Emperor who was around a hundred years old, no matter where he went, would always be as dazzling as ever. If he was allowed to grow like this, his future would be limitless!
Within the Flowing Sun Sect's main hall, Liu Yue sat at the head of the table. Below him sat his own son, Liu Xu, two Half Emperor experts, and a group of other Flowing Sun Sect elders.
Liu Xu said to his father, "Lord Father, you can keep the position of Sect Master, or you can pass it on to second brother in the future. I don't have time to care about these things!"
As soon as Liu Xu said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly, but they weren't too surprised.
Liu Yue also revealed a helpless expression as he smiled and said, "Xu'er, I know that your ambition is definitely not here, but … This is the foundation left behind by the ancestors, only you can carry it forward. Your second brother is still young, and his strength is not enough to become a sect master …"
Liu Xu waved his hand and said, "Lord Father, even if I don't become the Sect Master, I am still a part of the Flowing Sun Sect. If anyone wants to bully our Flowing Sun Sect, they will have to ask me, Liu Xu. Lord Father, you are still in your prime, so you should continue to sit on the position of Sect Master."
Liu Xu's words were filled with a tone that did not allow for discussion. He was determined not to become the Sect Master.
His ambition was not here, he still had a lot of room to grow, he did not want to be entangled by these worldly matters and not be able to focus on cultivation.
It could be said that Liu Xu was a true cultivation madman!
If Ling Xiao only focused on cultivation, his current strength might be much higher. It was just that he had too many things to do and too many distracting thoughts, which was why he was stuck at his current stage of strength.
Fortunately, he had a fortuitous encounter that made up for his lack of time to cultivate!
At this time, a Half Emperor elder stroked his beard and said, "Since Young Sect Master has his own thoughts, Sect Master should not force him. His path is no longer something we can control."
Another Half Emperor nodded and said, "Then let's make Young … Emperor Feng Xu the Sect Guardian Elder of our Flowing Sun Sect. He has the power to control our sect's life and death, and protect our sect!"
"Mm, that's settled then!"
Liu Xu didn't wait for his father to speak and directly agreed. Then he changed the topic, "Now let's talk about the Proud Smiling Palace. I think they will come to us soon!"
Liu Yue was not surprised. He immediately asked one of the elders to tell the story of the Proud Smiling Palace.
In fact, this story was only about the Palace Leader of the Proud Smiling Palace, Ling Xiao!
"Sect Protector Elder, this is all I know." That Elder bowed and then retreated.
Liu Yue said, "Xu 'er, that Ling Xiao cannot be underestimated. Besides his own strength, he also has Mystic Thearch-Ranked followers. Once their army attacks, we might not be able to hold them off!
Xu 'er, why don't you leave for now? When you become stronger, you can come back and challenge the Laughing Palace. "
Liu Yue's worries were not unreasonable. This was the foundation of their ancestors, and he really did not want his descendants to be under someone else. Moreover, his son was so young and so outstanding. He would definitely rise to the top in the future.
But his son had just grown up, and he was outnumbered. If the Proud Smiling Palace's army attacked, how could his son stop them?
"We have hostages in our hands, so they won't act rashly. Besides, I also want to see the strength of the First Emperor. He actually established a sect with the strength of a High Stage Celestial Master. What courage!" Not only was Liu Xu not afraid, but he was also full of fighting spirit. He wanted to see Ling Xiao's strength.
Not only was he a cultivation madman, but he was also a battle madman.
Any martial artist who wanted to keep growing had a battle instinct. Otherwise, why would they embark on the path of being supreme?
"But …" Liu Yue wanted to say something, but Liu Xu interrupted him, "Father, the weak are prey to the weak. This is the law of the jungle. If that Ling Xiao is really capable and can defeat me, so what if we surrender to him? We will just be his subordinates. We can still survive and develop. We can hide our strength, and when we have accumulated enough strength, we can replace him. If Ling Xiao can't even defeat me, he will not be able to make us surrender to him!"
When Liu Xu said this, he revealed a strong ambition. He had obtained a peerless opportunity, and if he continued to grow, he would definitely become a saint. How could he be willing to be under someone else? However, he also knew the situation. It was not a problem for him to be under someone else for the time being, but when he grew stronger, he would show his ambition and replace the Proud Smiling Palace!
It had to be said that Liu Xu was a very scheming person.
If such a person could not become an overlord in the future, it would be hard to explain.
In the main hall, after hearing Liu Xu's words, everyone thought about it and felt that it was reasonable.
Instead of using the people of a sect to fight to the death, it was better to be under someone else for the time being, and when they were strong enough, they could compete with each other.
It wasn't uncommon for a large faction to be overtaken and replaced by a small faction in the Central Region!
…
Another day passed, and a figure appeared in Liuyang City from the teleportation portal.
He was a handsome young man with a good figure. He always had a devilish smile on his face. That smile was enough to instantly kill any woman, from ten years old to a thousand years old. He was the type that could be easily persuaded to kill!
He was wearing a cloak, and his steps were like that of a dragon and a tiger. He looked very handsome, generous, and heroic …
The young man did not stay in Liuyang City. Step by step, he walked towards the famous mountains and rivers outside the city.
His movements looked very slow, but he could cross dozens of meters with each step. In a few blinks of an eye, he was already a thousand meters away.
Fortunately, there were very few people outside the city, or people who were flying high in the sky. Very few people noticed that an expert would walk directly without flying, and his speed was surprisingly fast. It really made people feel that there were strange people and strange things happening every year!
In less than an hour, the young man arrived at the Liuyang Sect's territory. Looking at the towering mountain gate, he sighed lightly and said, "This is a good place. No wonder it can produce outstanding people. I hope it doesn't disappoint me!"
The cultivators guarding the mountain gate noticed the young man and immediately shouted, "Who goes there? This is my sect's restricted area. Those who are not involved, please leave immediately!"
The young man glanced at the few people, and a devilish smile appeared on his face. He immediately walked up the stairs with his hands clasped behind his back. That carefree figure seemed to be walking on his own territory, without a care in the world.
The few guards just stood there with stupefied expressions, as if they had been bewitched by something. It took them a while to recover.
"Hey, where's that person?" One of the guards asked in astonishment.
"I'm eighty percent sure I'm seeing things. It's really a ghost!" Another guard looked around and found that there was no one, so he also had a puzzled expression.
"Hallucinating after standing for too long!"
"It's possible, but it's almost time to change shifts. When the time comes, I'll go to the city and find a woman to have some fun with."
"I know you're thinking about your Cui Hua, but aren't you tired of playing with that woman for so long!?"
"What do you know? That woman is really coquettish, and it's so exciting!"
…
The young man naturally couldn't hear the guards' loud talk. Along the way, he encountered many patrolling cultivators, but after each cultivator shouted, they were inexplicably absent-minded for a while. When they came back to their senses, they found that there was no one around them and thought they had seen a ghost.
The young man reached the main peak of the Liuyang Sect as if there was no one around him.
As soon as he stood still, a group of Earth Sovereign Stage cultivators immediately appeared and surrounded him. A Celestial Master walked out, "Who the hell are you? How dare you break into our Liuyang Sect!"
The young man chuckled with his hands behind his back, "Ling Xiao of the Proud Smiling Palace has come to visit your sect. Is this how you treat your guests?"
The young man's voice wasn't loud, but it could be clearly heard in every corner of the mountain.
As soon as he said this, the people of the Liuyang Sect were frightened and took several steps back. Their faces were full of panic.
"You … you are Ling Xiao!" The Celestial Master couldn't help but exclaim as he retreated.
Ling Xiao's name had already caused a sensation in the Central Region. The Liuyang Sect and the Proud Smiling Palace weren't too far apart, so they were naturally very familiar with Ling Xiao's deeds.
They hadn't expected that Ling Xiao would personally come to their Liuyang Sect, and for a moment, they were all shocked.
Then, a large number of people began to fly out from many directions.
In just a short moment, nearly a thousand people had already gathered here. Every single one of them was looking curiously at the genius of the new generation. They wanted to know if he really had three heads and six arms. He was actually able to establish his own power and even dared to challenge the 18 great powers. Such boldness really made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, now that they were enemies, they naturally didn't dare to show their admiration and respect.
Liu Yue pushed through the crowd and walked out. He looked at Ling Xiao from head to toe, then cupped his fists and said, "Palace Lord Ling, it's our Liuyang Sect's honor to have you here. I am Liu Yue, the Liuyang Sect's Sect Leader. May I know what Palace Lord Ling has come for?"
Liu Yue also tried to be polite before resorting to force. He wondered in his heart, "Did he come here alone?
If that's the case, then everything will be easy with Xu 'er here to capture him! "
Ling Xiao seemed to have seen through Liu Yue's thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "So it's Sect Leader Liu. This time, I have come alone to represent my sincerity. I hope that your sect can join my sect. What do you think, Sect Leader Liu?"
Ling Xiao spoke casually, but there was a kind of oppressive aura that pressed down on everyone's heads.
"Palace Lord Ling already knows our answer, so why do you still make things difficult for us?" Liu Yue replied.
"Alright, then let's talk about the second matter. My sect should have an elder who is a guest of your sect. Can Sect Leader Liu please let him go?" Ling Xiao seemed to be worried as he changed the topic.
"You can let him go, but you have to defeat me first!" A loud voice rang out behind the crowd.
