Sixiang Mountain has become even more lively than before.

Every training ground was filled with young people.

These young people keep taking on challenges and showcasing their talents to the new leaders.

Now, they don't have to worry about being suppressed because of their background, nor do they have to worry that their parents are too mediocre to have a chance to stand out.

Anyone with talent will be rewarded.

The new generation of leaders from the four major families are also expanding their own power bases.

Ximen Qingshan was also at a martial arts training ground at this time.

Sitting with him were the true young and middle-aged members of the four major families.

These people have one thing in common: they were all defeated by Dongfang Qingming.

By giving these people important positions, Dongfang Qingming demonstrated his determination and showed that he would not abuse his power for personal gain.

That is why he was able to gain a foothold after purging a large number of clan elders.

At this moment, the battle on the arena had reached a critical juncture.

The two young men, both from the four major families, were clearly fighting fiercely.

Just then, someone came flying from a distance and landed right next to Ximen Qingshan.

"Lord Aoyama, Lord Seimei has issued an order!"

Yan Han knelt on the ground and respectfully presented the letter.

"Didn't Seimei go to Qingzhou to watch the battle? Could it be that news has come back?"

"If it's just a notification, there's no need to write a letter!"

"Are you all stupid? Yan Han is saying that Qingming has given an order, so it must be something important!"

"Qingshan, quickly open it and take a look."

"Men, hold on for now, let us read the letter before we fight!"

Someone spoke up, stopping the fight, and several young and middle-aged leaders gathered around Ximen Qingshan.

After reading the contents of the letter, everyone, including Ximen Qingshan, stood frozen in place.

"That's Xu Mang!"

"How could he lose!"

"Qingshan, it seems your defeat in the Battle of Jiangzhou was not unjust!"

The crowd lowered their voices and sighed.

Ximen Qingshan silently put away the letter and then flew towards a certain part of the mountain range.

With Dongfang Qingming's warrant, Ximen Qingshan successfully entered the secret vault.

Half an hour later, a ten-person team set off, escorting a hundred Dharma Fruits towards Qingzhou.

......

Inside the Zijin Garden, there was singing and dancing.

Zhou Zhenxiong was wearing a bright yellow silk robe and his eyes were covered with a cloth.

Surrounded by gardens, beautiful women with slender figures were hidden away.

"My beauty, I've got you!"

Zhou Zhenxiong pounced on a woman like a hungry tiger, pulling her into his arms. "You are Xiaoyu'er!"

After saying that, he lifted his headscarf, and the woman he was holding said shyly, "Your Majesty, I am Rong'er."

"Hahaha, again and again!"

Zhou Zhenxiong gently pinched the woman's plump breasts, then covered her face with a veil as she playfully protested.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Huachun entered the garden with light steps.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Qingzhou that Li Fan has defeated both Lü Xiaoyi and Xu Mang."

Not only that, news came from Zero One that Dongfang Qingming and Li Fan had reconciled, and Dongfang Qingming had even sent one hundred Dharma Image Fruits!

As soon as Yu Huachun finished speaking, Zhou Zhenxiong's face darkened instantly.

He was in a good mood during this period.

With Chi Yang and Cheng Yang as bodyguards in Tiandu, he no longer needed to worry about Chen Kui.

Moreover, with the Jixia Academy taking control of the Zhenwu Division and the retreat of the four major families, Zhou Zhenxiong could clearly sense the rapidly increasing fortune.

At this rate, he might even break through to become invincible before the Royal Secret Realm opens.

But now things have changed again; Li Fan is getting stronger too fast.

Zhou Zhenxiong even felt that Li Fan could reach the realm of being invincible before him.

If that's the case, how will he then switch from benevolent rule to hegemonic rule?

If someone is surpassed by a prodigy like Li Fan, they might be suppressed for life.

This is something he cannot accept.

"Prepare the carriage, to the Immortal Inquiry Pavilion!"

......

Wenxian Pavilion is not far from Zijin Garden.

The objects enshrined here are all beings who once dominated the world.

The reason they were willing to join the Immortal Inquiry Pavilion was for the possibility of an immortal destiny.

For example, during this period, the Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace and the Lord of the Orange Sun Palace stayed here.

In just a month and a half, the two organized three debates.

Five of them were taken in by the two hall masters of the Ziyang Immortal Sect, and they will be able to enter the strongest immortal sect in the world once the royal secret realm ends.

For this reason, many reclusive martial arts masters in their eighties and nineties have emerged from seclusion to join the Wenxian Pavilion.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Zhenxiong's arrival alarmed the many worshippers.

But before anyone could return the greeting, Zhou Zhenxiong vanished from their sight like a gust of wind.

The top floor of the Wenxian Pavilion is where the two palace masters reside.

The attendant disciples were stationed at the top-floor entrance.

Even though Zhou Zhenxiong was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could not enter the top floor without permission.

The attendant disciple stopped Zhou Zhenxiong, then quietly and respectfully entered the top floor.

"Two Palace Masters, Emperor Zhou Zhenxiong of the Great Zhou requests an audience!"

"Bring him up here!"

The Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace had already placed his piece while he was speaking.

Soon, Zhou Zhenxiong was led up.

The Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace and the Lord of the Orange Sun Palace were engrossed in their game of chess, as if Zhou Zhenxiong didn't exist.

Zhou Zhenxiong was not angry; instead, he waited respectfully by the side to add tea and water.

Half an hour later, the Lord of Chiyang Palace resigned.

He then looked at Zhou Zhenxiong and asked, "What is it?"

"Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace, this is what happened."

Three and a half years ago, a top martial artist from my elder brother's lineage escaped.

I received news that that person has become invincible.

Moreover, one of the young martial artists he trained also became quite influential.

The young martial artist was named Li Fan, and he became famous throughout the world in just six months.

A few days ago, he even defeated two top experts on the Heavenly Hero Ranking in Qingzhou.

One of them was Xu Mang, the Northern Spear King who had held the second position on the Heavenly Hero Ranking for decades.

I'm worried that if Li Fan breaks through to a higher level, Chen Kui will bring him to seek revenge. If that day comes, it could be very troublesome!

After Zhou Zhenxiong finished speaking, the Lord of Chiyang Palace glanced at him dismissively: "Just this little thing?"

That's it?

What's the meaning!

Those were two invincible fighters.

Isn't he worried at all?

Zhou Zhenxiong did not directly refute, but instead showed a troubled expression.

This scene, witnessed by the Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace, made him feel both angry and amused.

What angered him was that the Great Zhou emperor he supported was a useless piece of trash.

As for why I want to laugh, it's naturally because the current ruler of the world is a useless piece of trash.

Once upon a time, even the immortal sect he belonged to had to submit to the common ruler of the world.

"Alright, don't worry!"

Even if those two people you mentioned break through, it won't have any impact.

Not everyone who is invincible in the human world is like that person from the Jixia Academy.

"Those two newly crowned invincible warriors are nothing more than threats; my brothers and I could easily subdue them with a flick of our wrists!"
