Emperor Xuanzong!

The house was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the atmosphere was joyous.

Every Xuanzong disciple stood tall and proud.

"The master of Murong Manor has gifted one million spirit stones and ten Saint-grade treasures!"

"Sect Master Qingfeng has gifted one million spirit stones and eight Saint-grade treasures!"

"The Nine Li Sect Master presents 800,000 spirit stones and three Saint-grade treasures!"

"..."

One voice after another rang out.

Those powerful figures who were once high and mighty are now like docile sheep, lining up one by one and respectfully offering their treasures.

Even the most ordinary Xuanzong disciples wore smiles and spoke kindly to each other.

Why?

Strength is the eternal reason.

Tang Xuan single-handedly killed fifteen powerful emperors.

Under his guidance, the War Slave Sect defeated the combined forces of the four major sects: Bright Fortress, Purple Star Sect, Heavenly Will Sect, and Strange Ghost Sect. Its strength was so great that, in the entire Free and Unfettered Immortal Realm, perhaps only the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace could rival it.

As for sects like the Demon Heart Sect and the Extreme Heaven Sect, they no longer qualify.

Clearly, another behemoth has taken shape.

Who dares to disrespect me!

Moreover, the fact that the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace remained completely unresponsive despite the Xuanzong's high-profile announcement of establishing its sect demonstrates that even the local overlord was not confident in defeating the Xuanzong.

In other words, the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace has already tacitly acknowledged the existence of the Xuanzong.

That would mean something different.

So if we don't befriend them now, when will we?

Especially those small family heads and sects within a million miles of Xuanzong.

If someone sneezes, you could be wiped out.

Therefore, it became only natural to prepare generous gifts to offer congratulations.

However, many family heads also understood this in their hearts.

Emperor Xuanzong's reign was not stable.

Although the Carefree Immortal Palace did not cause trouble immediately, it does not mean that they will not cause trouble in the future.

It's even quite possible that the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace was waiting for the day when the Xuanzong Sect was founded to come and cause trouble.

As long as Emperor Xuanzong is destroyed, the gifts that were sent out can also be taken back.

For smaller factions, there was no loss.

Everyone is perfectly clear about this.

At this moment, a Xuanzong disciple dressed in white stepped forward.

The Xuanzong disciples who were greeting guests at the entrance immediately bowed.

"Elder Wu Fan!"

The newcomer was Wu Fan, a former disciple of the War Slave Sect.

He has now been promoted to an outer sect elder.

Upon seeing him appear, the family heads who had come to offer their congratulations were slightly taken aback.

"What? He's an elder at such a young age?"

"No, look at his aura, he has clearly reached the late stage of the Saint Realm! Hiss, at such a young age, with such cultivation, he is clearly a peerless genius!"

"Such a genius would be a core disciple even in the Twin Fortresses, Four Sects, and Eight Demonic Gates, but in the Profound Sect, he's just an outer sect elder. It's a complete waste of talent!"

"This further confirms one thing!"

"The Xuanzong Sect's foundation is unfathomable!"

Those who manage to rise through the ranks to become family heads are all incredibly shrewd and calculating individuals.

Those that can't be identified have already been wiped out.

Wu Fan nodded. Experiencing the sect war was a major transformation for him.

He has made great progress in his cultivation, state of mind, and spirit.

"Treat your guests well and don't be rude!"

The disciple who greeted the guest nodded: "Yes!"

Just then, a commotion arose outside the mountain gate.

"Get out of the way... get out of the way! A bunch of trash dares to block my path!"

Amid the shouts and curses, screams and sounds of fighting followed.

Wu Fan frowned.

Today, Emperor Xuanzong announced the establishment of his own sect, and many people came to congratulate him. The most troublesome people were those who caused trouble.

That's why Wu Fan came to the mountain gate in person to oversee things.

But what you fear most is what happens.

Sure enough, someone caused trouble.

"What's going on!"

Wu Fan said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the queue was pushed aside, and a group of martial artists dressed in black walked over.

Even before getting close, a fierce and malevolent aura rushed towards them.

The leader wore a black shirt with two large axes at his waist. He had a single, fierce eye that seemed to devour anyone who looked at him.

Everyone around was shocked.

"Isn't that the One-Eyed Dragon from Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Hiss, Black Wind Stronghold is a den of bandits, extremely fierce. The chief, One-Eyed Dragon, is a Saint Realm expert. Martial artists passing through Black Dragon Mountain would have to take off two pairs of pants. However, they gather in the mountains and forests and are not a formal sect, so they are not ranked among the Twin Fortresses, Four Sects, and Eight Demonic Sects. But that does not mean that their strength is weak!"

"The people of Black Wind Stronghold have always been domineering; it seems they've come with ill intentions!"

"Not necessarily. Don't let his fierce appearance fool you, One-Eyed Dragon is a smart man. He's definitely not here to cause trouble. I suspect he has another purpose!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, One-Eyed Dragon led the Black Wind Stronghold warriors to the gates of Xuanzong Mountain.

He clapped his hands.

"Put the gift down!"

Several bandits carried a large box over.

With a wave of his hand, the lid of the box was opened, and a dazzling light shone forth.

Those boxes contained over a dozen Saint-level treasures.

Large and small, gathered together, radiating a mysterious and magnificent light.

Everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap, so many Saint-level treasures, what is the One-Eyed Dragon up to?"

"What? Don't you understand? It's obvious they're trying to curry favor with Xuanzong!"

"I understand now. He wants to curry favor with Xuanzong. Otherwise, given the One-Eyed Dragon's stingy nature, he would never have produced so many treasures!"
