(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
Ji Haoxuan was stunned watching Yao Xiuqi's performance. Jiang Yuer from the Jiang family and Sun Ruxuan from Yuansheng Mansion, who were obediently queuing up to watch the show, were also stunned. As the best of the young generation of the six major forces, they knew Yao Xiuqi's character. Although he seemed to be amiable on the surface, he was definitely not a good person.
Suddenly, Ji Haoxuan yelled, "Yao Xiuqi, you still have the nerve to say that to me? What kind of behavior are you doing now? It's really immoral!"
Yao Xiuqi was stunned when he heard that, and glanced at the man who he had fed the Soul-Restoring Pill to. He saw that the man was also secretly looking at him. When he saw Yao Xiuqi looking at him, he quickly lowered his head shyly, looking like a little girl.
Yao Xiuqi suddenly remembered what he had just said: "Don't ever look down on yourself like this again!"
The more he heard this sentence, the more he felt something was wrong. Yao Xiuqi felt a little embarrassed, but his psychological quality was extremely strong. He looked at the cultivators in line and said excitedly: "The lives of low-level cultivators are also lives. You, me, and him are all citizens of the Qiongzu Universe. No one is nobler than anyone else. From now on, you must not look down on yourselves!"
After Yao Xiuqi finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
"The lives of low-level cultivators are also lives! Lingxiao Palace is eternal, and Master Yao is eternal!"
No one knew who started the shout, but the place suddenly became lively and everyone started shouting in unison.
Yao Xiuqi raised his hand to interrupt everyone and said solemnly: "My fellow Taoists, we are all equal, but we must not engage in personality cult. When I join Lingxiao Palace in the future, I will be just an ordinary member of the palace like you."
Everyone was moved again when they heard this. He actually intended to completely integrate with them and put himself on the same level as these low-level monks. How great is this? What kind of noble character is this?
"Haha, since you fellow Taoists trust me so much, then I will give it my all. For the sake of my dream, I announce that I will run for the position of hall master. I hope you will support me when the time comes." Yao Xiuqi said with a smile.
The cultivators were overjoyed upon hearing this and shouted, "We are confident that Master Yao can serve as the Lord of the High Heaven Palace. Don't worry, we will definitely support you with all our strength. Only you are qualified to be the Lord of the High Heaven Palace!"
Seeing this, Yao Xiuqi smiled, and said to everyone, "I am very grateful for your support, fellow Taoists. Thank you all in advance. However, now is the registration time for Lingxiao Hall, so please maintain order in the venue and don't delay the registration."
As soon as Yao Xiuqi finished speaking, the monks suddenly quieted down and lined up in an orderly manner again.
"I am truly ashamed for causing a disturbance in the venue just now. I hope you can forgive me. Now we can continue with the registration process." Yao Xiuqi bowed to Chen Siqi.
But before Chen Siqi could say anything, Ji Haoxuan jumped out and shouted to the people below: "I, Ji Haoxuan, the elder of the Ji family, make this clear today. I must be the master of Lingxiao Palace. You guys decide!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at Yao Xiuqi at the same time, Ji Haoxuan snorted coldly and said, "Yao Xiuqi is a waste. Do you think he can protect you? What can his Yao family use to fight our Ji family? What can Yao Xiuqi, a Chaos Immortal Ancestor, use to fight me, the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor?"
This is already a naked threat.
"The lives of low-level monks are also lives!" Someone mustered up the courage to shout at this time.
Ji Haoxuan immediately threw out a stream of Hongmeng Qi, heading straight for the cultivator. He intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and completely intimidate these cultivators with his absolute strength.
"Puff~" The monk that Ji Haoxuan was targeting did not fall down, but was blocked by Yao Xiuqi. Yao Xiuqi seemed to be seriously injured after taking Ji Haoxuan's attack. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale instantly.
"Brother Ji, as long as I am here, I will never allow you to do anything wrong!" Yao Xiuqi forced himself to stand up.
"Captain!" Several people from the Yao family hurried forward to support.
"That's too much! Ji Haoxuan, you're going too far!"
"If you become the Palace Master, will this Lingxiao Palace still be the Lingxiao Palace? I will never vote for you even if I die!"
"Apologize to Master Yao!"
…………
For a moment, the crowd was outraged and fearlessly accused Ji Haoxuan.
At the same time, members of the Lingxiao Palace from all over Changping City also rushed here. They saw everything that had just happened through the live broadcasts of some monks present. They would never allow Ji Haoxuan, a person who destroyed their beliefs, to do whatever he wanted!
Ji Haoxuan was dumbfounded when he saw this. A group of peasants actually dared to denounce him openly. This was not just audacity, it was treason! It was a heinous crime punishable by the execution of ten clans!
Ji Haoxuan had never thought that one day he would be openly denounced by so many low-level cultivators pointing at him. This was simply a naked humiliation to him. How could he tolerate this? If he let them go, wouldn't it be a riot? His face immediately turned cold, and he was ready to beat these ants to ashes, letting them know that the Ji family and the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor cannot be humiliated!
"Stop!" At this moment, a loud shout rang out, and at the same time a powerful aura locked onto Ji Haoxuan.
"Territory Lord."
"Territory Lord."
"Meet the Territory Master!"
Everyone saluted the visitor.
Seeing this, Ji Haoxuan had no choice but to stop. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the newcomer. He said with a gloomy face, "Are you Liu Yuanbai, the Lord of Changfeng Domain?"
"It's Liu. Mr. Ji, please abide by my rules when you are on my territory." Liu Yuanbai said indifferently.
"Your rules? Liu Yuanbai, the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor cannot be insulted. This is the rule jointly set by the ancestors of the six major forces. It's ok that you don't respect yourself, but do you want other Hongmeng Immortal Ancestors to fall with you? Can the rules of your Changfeng Domain be greater than the rules set by the ancestors of the six major forces?" Ji Haoxuan said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, the rules set by the ancestors back then only allow Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor to enjoy the respect of all living beings and have some privileges wherever he goes, but this does not mean that you can hurt people at will! Respect is mutual. You were the first to hurt others, and now you want others to respect you. What kind of logic is this?" Liu Yuanbai sneered.
Ji Haoxuan's face darkened when he heard this. The ancestors of the six major forces did set the rules very loosely, but which Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor did not enjoy absolute privileges in the Qiongzu Universe over the years? If the cultivators below were slightly disrespectful, the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor would kill them without the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor's intervention. Sometimes, tens of billions of cultivators in a city were slaughtered, and countless lives were involved. Who said anything? Who dared to say anything? People just took it for granted.
Even the ancestors of the six major forces would not take a second look at this situation. The rules on the surface are for everyone to see. In fact, everyone knows that in the eyes of the major ancestors, the life of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor is the only life, and the rest are just ants, just providing nutrients to the top of the pyramid!
But now that Liu Yuanbai had explained the rules to him, he really didn't know how to refute them.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Haoxuan felt a little embarrassed, so he said harshly: "Stop talking nonsense, today I will kill these bastards in front of you, and I will see if you dare to stop me!"
"Then let's give it a try." Liu Yuanbai said lightly.
