In the entire world of Kobu Shinto, there are only two kinds of people who can be addressed as "Your Excellency" by an emperor of an empire.

One type is the important officials of the empire who assisted the emperor of the previous generation.

The other type can only be a powerful warrior with outstanding martial arts skills and place, usually a totem-like existence at the level of a martial god who can receive such treatment.

At this moment, Xu Yang, as the opponent, was still addressed as "Your Excellency" by this true emperor of the empire. There was no doubt that this was an absolute recognition of Xu Yang's identity and strength as the Ninth Emperor.

Xu Yang did not expect that his experience in this empire would be so surprising.

In the end, there were two emperors, one real and one fake.

Not long after, after completely accommodating the queen's broken soul essence into his own soul world, the real emperor of the empire finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally put down the worry in his heart. What he had to do next was to reach an absolute alliance with the three members of Xu Yang's team.

Xu Yang chuckled and shook his head.

"You're welcome. The relationship between you and me is just mutually beneficial and cooperative.

Next, I plan to help you regain the throne."

The emperor, who had already returned to his human form, suddenly raised his bright eyes and met Xu Yang's gaze.

"Please feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as it is something I can do, I will do my best."

Xu Yang spread his hands and said, "You already know what I want, which is the purple jade crystal in the hand of the fake emperor.

And the most precious metal materials in the entire empire, most of which are precious materials that can be used to create artifacts.

His Majesty the Emperor will give me priority in providing them.

As for high positions and generous salaries, we are outsiders to this world, so we won't consider them.

You should know that for warriors like us, those worldly titles have no religious significance at all."

The old emperor was an intelligent man, so he nodded and agreed gently. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and with a wave of his hand, he moved the remains of the towering tree that had been bound to his vitality in front of him, and took out an incomparably dazzling green gem from the pile of remains.

"I want to give this to Lord Xu Yang as a thank you gift for helping me out of this predicament."

Xu Yang didn't think much about it and decisively took the dazzling green gem in his hand.

Regardless of the origin of this gem, it exudes an incomparably pure and transparent primitive aura.

It is enough to attract Xu Yang.

"This gemstone carries an extremely pure and original aura. It is definitely a very rare and precious material that can be used to enhance the strength of the sword spirit. I am very satisfied with this gift. Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he waved his palm lightly and directly melted the gem into his Emperor Cauldron. He began to refine it immediately without saying a word.

After solving other problems, Xu Yang followed the leadership of the old emperor.

Together with Long Kun and Po Xiao, they headed towards the entrance of Lost Mountain.

Now the return stone tablet has been broken, and the maze and formation that originally existed in the entire Lost Mountain have completely lost their function.

This road is exactly the same as the route recorded on the map.

Taking out the map that marked the location of the lost mountains and taking a look at it again, Xu Yang couldn't help but smile.

“So that’s how it is. This map records the most authentic Lost Mountains.

From this point of view, it can be proved that the owner of this drawing, that is, the old emperor who is high above in the palace, is indeed a fake.

Because he is the only one who knows the true route of this place best."

After hearing what his boss said, Long Kun crossed his arms and held a piece of grass in his mouth and laughed.

"It really fits the saying, what's fake can't be real, and what's real can't be fake.

Disguise is a very powerful skill, but if it is not used properly, it will be exposed sooner or later."

Dawn also nodded slightly and spoke in response.

"An empire built on false rulers will never get very far."

After hearing this, Xu Yang seemed to have been reminded by his two close partners and inadvertently thought of a more serious problem.

"If the old fake is really thoughtful enough, he will definitely hide some spies near Lost Mountain to guard against some unexpected events in the restricted area.

We should be careful when we return the same way this time, and try not to reveal any clues."

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Yang expressed his concerns, dozens of warriors with incredibly fast movements suddenly appeared on both sides of the end of the jungle without any warning.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yang, the other two and the old emperor were surrounded.

It is worth mentioning that the leader at the head was surrounded by an extremely transparent silver-white water dragon.

It looks like it should be his personal combat pet, and its strength is also extremely powerful.

And the leader himself was clad in a golden robe.

There is a hexagram pattern engraved in the center of the forehead, and the color of this mark is also golden.

“He’s actually a believer at the Martial God level!

You really have a good foresight.

I think this group of people are the fake guys in the palace who are spying on us here."

Dawn's voice became particularly cold and harsh.

At the same time, she also sincerely began to admire Xu Yang's powerful ability to predict the future.

No one in this world can predict the future, but Xu Yang has achieved this with his strong control over the overall environment and situation, and is often able to capture the situation most accurately before the danger arrives.

As expected, as soon as Dawn finished speaking, the mysterious man in a golden robe who was leading the group let out a cold smile.

“You guessed right.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has never truly trusted you guys.

Ever since Xu Yang and his companions left the palace, your every move and every place you have been to have been under the surveillance of His Majesty the Emperor.

And we are the executors waiting here to prevent any changes to the seal of the Lost Mountain Forbidden Area.

But what really surprised me was that you three actually did it.

You should know that the formation used to seal this old guy is one of the most powerful forbidden ancient formations in ancient times.

Even the Emperor himself and his truly powerful team of believers and guardians behind the scenes spent a lot of effort to complete the writing of all the array patterns of the magic circle.

Now it has been broken so easily by just three human cultivators like you. I must admit that you, Xu Yang, are very powerful. Looking at the entire Ancient Divine Dao, there should be few people who can compete with you. "
