After the crimson long sword recognized its owner, Xia Yan's temperament changed again. The original humility and gentleness had become sharp, and the evil spirit loomed. It gives people the feeling that Xia Yan at this time is like a sharp long sword drawn out of its sheath, invincible. Between waving hands, it is to take people's lives. Xia Yan himself did not feel this change.
"I have to try the power of this artifact!" Xia Yan thought for a moment, and his figure disappeared in the secret room of the Emperor's Palace. When Xia Yan's figure appeared again, he had already reached the clouds above the Palace of the Emperor.
"Whoosh..."
In an instant, it was ten thousand meters away.
"Hiss..."
In the sky, a ray of red light shot away. Behind the sword light, there is a huge black crack, which hangs shockingly above the sky. Powerful suction, constantly seeping through the cracks. Then, the crack gradually began to get smaller, and finally disappeared completely, and the sky returned to tranquility.
"sharp!"
"Strong! It's ten times stronger than the Thunder Sword, Dawn Sword, and Fengming Sword I use!" Xia Yan made a comparison in his heart, and naturally knew the power of this artifact. With a wave of hands, the sky falls apart!
"I can feel that with my current strength, I haven't been able to exert all the power of this artifact. If the power of this attack artifact is fully revealed, what will it look like!" Xia Yan hung in the air, very quiet. Above the clouds, the sun was extremely hot, but to Xia Yan, he didn't feel any discomfort.
The figure swayed and blurred in the air for a while, and when he looked again, Xia Yan's white body had disappeared in the original place.
…
Half a month later! holy city!
"Hallmaster Li, long time no see!"
"Hehe, the strength of Hall Master Kuang seems to have gone a step further!"
In the Golden Dragon Hall, a number of famous hall masters came one after another. Today is the first temple meeting after the new Holy Emperor took office. All hall masters must come to participate.
Some hall masters who haven't seen each other for many years also meet here again, and they naturally greet each other.
Meetings like this are usually held only once in many years. In general temple meetings, only the Twelve Holy Land Deacons will participate. Recently, more than 50 hall masters and holy land deacons will participate.
These hall masters are all in the spirit sect realm.
"Hallmaster Li, did you go to Yuncheng half a month ago?!" Hallmaster Kuang lowered his voice and asked with flickering eyes.
When I went to Yuncheng half a month ago, I naturally watched the life-and-death battle between Xia Yan and Wang Dongji. The Palace Master Kuang was not present at the time. That's why he asked Palace Master Li if he went to watch the competition. Of course I regretted not being able to go. Such a shocking battle may never happen again!
"I'm going! That shocking battle... tsk tsk..." Palace Master Li tsk tsk, shaking his head and sighing.
"Xin Shenghuang, is it really so powerful? One move to kill the strong Wang Dongji and Wang Huayu of the Spirit Emperor?!" Hall Master Kuang seemed to be a little unbelievable. He didn't see it with his own eyes, but only heard the rumors.
"That's right, it was indeed a one-hit kill. Lord Holy Emperor, he broke through the realm on the spot. Afterwards, he easily killed those two people. You didn't see, at that time, Lord Holy Emperor..." Hall Master Li was very happy to tell Hall Master Kuang what happened at that time scene.
Similar situations exist in many places in the huge conference room of the Golden Dragon Palace cabinet. More than half of these palace masters were unable to go to Yuncheng to watch the battle at that time.
Originally, everyone thought that the great battle would end with Xia Yan's death. But he didn't want to, Xia Yan not only survived, but also killed Wang Dongji and Wang Huayu, and became the new Holy Emperor of the mainland.
This can not but make people sigh, the world is impermanent!
"Ding… "
After a clear ringtone, a staff member of the Golden Dragon Palace standing outside the conference room said loudly, "I have seen the Holy Emperor."
Hearing the sound, all the hall masters in the conference room also fell silent. At the same time, they stood up, looked towards the main entrance of the conference room, and waited for the door to be pushed open.
"Squeak..."
With a dull sound, a white figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"I have seen the Holy Emperor!"
All the hall masters saluted at the same time.
"Yeah!" Xia Yan nodded slightly, then raised his foot and walked towards the top position of the long table in the conference room. This is not the first time Xia Yan has come to this meeting room. The last time I came here was when the Holy City Xun family and the He family were about to punish themselves. At that time, I was relatively a small person.
But now, it has already stood at the pinnacle of the mainland.
Xia Yan looked at the palace masters with a look of looking down.
"Everyone sit down!" Xia Yan said slowly, while raising his hands and then pressing them down.
All the hall masters took their seats one after another, but they didn't make any sound.
"Lord Holy Emperor, fifty-two of the fifty-three palace masters from the mainland were present. Among them, Liu Fang, the palace master of Mocha City, entered the Sin Forest a month ago, and has not yet come out of the Sin Forest, so he was not able to be present. Holy Land Deacon Twelve There are eleven people present." A staff member reported to Xia Yan the situation of the personnel present.
Wang Huayu, one of the deacons of the Holy Land, was killed by Xia Yan, so naturally he couldn't be there. And Xia Yan was originally the Palace Master of Ziyue City, but now he has become the Holy Emperor, so the Palace Master of Ziyue City is temporarily vacant.
One of the deacons of the holy land is the master of the seven main cities at the same time, with overlapping identities. In other words, there were a total of fifty-seven people present besides Xia Yan.
"Understood, you go down." Xia Yan nodded and waved to the staff member.
"Yes, Lord Holy Emperor!" The staff hurriedly responded, then turned and left the conference room.
Xia Yan turned his eyes and glanced at the face of a famous temple master and a holy land deacon, "Today is a meeting, and there is nothing important to talk about. I have just assumed the position of Holy Emperor, so I want to meet everyone. By the way, listen to the situation of each main city."
Xia Yan's voice reached everyone's ears.
When Xia Yan looked at the head of the Xun family and the head of the He family, the beating of the hearts of these two patriarchs naturally accelerated, and they did not dare to look up.
"Next, let's start with Purple Leaf City, Hall Master Pang Yuan." Xia Yan looked at Pang Yuan and smiled.
Pang Yuan is the Lord of the Temple of Purple Leaf City, the deacon of the Holy Land, and one of the twelve envoys of the Golden Dragon Hall. Xia Yan asked him to say first that he had the stance of treating Ziye City as the number one main city in the mainland.
Generally speaking, reporting the situation to the Holy Emperor is naturally in accordance with the ranking order of each main city.
Pang Yuanlian stood up, saluted Xia Yan, and said with joy on his face, "My lord, I am Pang Yuan, the master of the temple in Ziye City. Ziye City has 23 counties and a total population of 6,700. 1.2 million. Among them, cultivators..."
Pang Yuan stood up, and the person who was sitting next to Xia Yan at the edge of the long table had his eyes flickering and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was a little displeased.
"Lord Holy Emperor, I am the number one palace master of Yuetian City in the main city, Gu Yong..."
"My lord, I am Qu Li, the lord of Dragon City, Dragon City..."
"..."
After Ziye City, the other main city palace masters began to repay Xia Yan according to their rankings. Xia Yan nodded while listening, and usually would not ask more questions.
It took an entire hour for the palace masters of each main city to complete all the affairs of the city and make a simple report.
The total population of the Dragon Continent exceeds three billion!
After all the hall masters finished their reports, Xia Yan stood up slowly and looked at one of them. This man, wearing a golden robe, looks forty or fifty years old, his name is Gu Yong, and he is the Palace Master of Yue Tiancheng who showed his displeasure just now. Yue Tiancheng, originally ranked first among the main cities, is also the main city where the Super Academy Ethereal Academy is located.
Just now when Xia Yan asked Pang Yuan of Ziye City to report first, Gu Yong felt a little uncomfortable. Because, although Ziye City has risen to the sixth place because of Ziye Academy's promotion to Super Academy, it is still far inferior to Yue Tiancheng.
Moreover, Yue Tiancheng has a powerful business association, Boyu Business Association. Dragon's Continent, the largest business association.
"Gu Yong, you, the palace master, don't seem to be doing your duty well!" Xia Yan looked at Gu Yong and said with a smile.
"Huh?!" Gu Yong was also taken aback, and looked at Xia Yan puzzled, "What does the Holy Emperor mean?!"
"I got the news that Yue Tiancheng seems to be a little unstable. I heard that there are some forces oppressing goodness, but the temple is in collusion with them!" Xia Yan continued.
"What?!" Gu Yong frowned and looked at Xia Yan, "Where did the Holy Emperor get the news? How could such a thing happen?!"
Gu Yong also felt that the situation was not good. However, his tone was still a little stiff. Yue Tiancheng has been ranked No. 1 in the main city of the mainland for more than 20 years, and Gu Yong has always regarded himself as the number one palace master in the mainland. In front of other palace masters, he always appears to be superior. And Gu Yong's strength is indeed strong enough.
The others all focused their eyes on Gu Yong, and various thoughts flashed in their minds.
"Could it be that the Holy Emperor is dissatisfied with this Gu Yong? If not, why bother Gu Yong?!"
Everyone turned their thoughts in their hearts.
"Gu Yong?!" Xia Yan also frowned, "Do you think it is necessary for me to tell you or explain my source of information to you? Do you think I will bring something without evidence to the Holy Land meeting?! "
"Lord Holy Emperor, I don't mean that!" Gu Yong hurriedly said, "However, there is something wrong with this news. I am the Lord of the Temple of Yuetian City. If it is said that the Temple is in collusion with evil forces, isn't it me? ? How could I not know what I did and didn’t do?!”
Gu Yong seemed to be very wronged.
He is so conceited! Even if this matter is really untrue, he can't refute the Holy Emperor. However, he felt that Xia Yan was young, so he underestimated Xia Yan in his heart. Normally, he should immediately ask the Holy Emperor for forgiveness in fear, and then ask the Holy Emperor to expressly explain what evil forces are causing the trouble, and he must take care of it when he returns, etc.
You must know that no one can challenge the authority of the Holy Emperor! But he, Gu Yong, did the opposite, openly refuting the Holy Emperor's words at the highest meeting of the continent!
