Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling's arrival immediately tensed the atmosphere at the scene, especially since his outrageous remarks had caused the Archbishop in red to turn pale.

"Old and undying? Who is the old and undying?" a powerful individual murmured.

The Archbishop in red immediately clenched his teeth, stood up, and pointed at the strong man, "Dare to insult the Pope like this, I can take it as a declaration of war against The Holy See!"

Hiss, the face of the strong man who spoke stiffened, and he quickly waved his hands, "No, no, that's not what I meant. This damned Huaxia kid insults the Pope, why don't you fight back?"

What a joke, The Holy See, a massive entity, even the Dark Council fell by its hand, who the hell would declare war against you just for fun?

Moreover, when that Huaxia kid insults the Pope, why don't you fight back, why not declare war?

"Tsk tsk, declare war on me? Sure, I'm always up for it," Ye Ling said as he walked over to Old Steward, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

When Old Steward saw Ye Ling's arrival, he immediately smiled, feeling much less pressure. Having a powerful figure like him was truly a different experience, utterly pleasant.

The Archbishop in red's face turned an iron blue, "Respected Mr. Ye Ling, The Holy See has absolutely no intention of making it difficult for the Sterr Family, but as you can see, the situation is like this, and I think Mr. Ye Ling won't stay with the Sterr Family forever, right?"

Mr. Ye Ling, how respectfully the Archbishop in red addressed him. Everyone was stunned for a moment and then they realized something.

Weren't the Pope and The Holy See beaten up and almost torn apart by a Huaxia kid the other day?

Could it be him!

Thinking of the Archbishop's complexion and expression, everyone felt a great shock in their hearts. Damn, how did this harbinger of doom appear here? What the hell is this?

"What if I insist on protecting them?" Ye Ling sneered, truly detesting being threatened.

The Archbishop shivered, but mustered his courage, "Mr. Ye Ling, I think making an enemy of the entire supernatural community of the Western Continent is not something Huaxia would like to see."

Oh, bringing national affairs into this, Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh, truly thinking they treated him as some kind of good person.

Just as Ye Ling was about to speak, Old Steward patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your help, my young friend, but I think what they are saying is correct."

"Besides, I don't want to cause you any great trouble because of the Sterr Family."

Speaking, Old Steward took a deep breath, his slightly murky eyes sweeping over everyone, "But my words still stand. Leave four treasures for the Sterr Family, and you may fight over the others yourselves."

"Otherwise, the clan will be destroyed, and its people killed!"

After Old Steward finished speaking, Ye Ling shrugged, "You're really too polite. If it were up to me, I'd have just wiped all of their necks, a bunch of idiots, no need to give up the treasures."

In fact, Ye Ling was still wondering whether the Sterr Family really possessed treasures that could break through a realm, which seemed against the natural order. Could there really be such heaven-defying treasures?

"On behalf of The Holy See, I respect Clan Leader Steward's decision. For the remaining five treasures, The Holy See will strive to win them with our strength," the Archbishop in red quickly raised his hand to say.

Ye Ling nodded, "Mhm, not bad, you show good judgment. I see a bright future for you, keep it up, and you might just be the next Pope."

The Archbishop was nearly in tears, damn it, if he weren't afraid of you, he would have flipped the table and beaten you up by now, you talk such smooth crap, like praising a little school kid.

The leaders of the other forces, seeing this, also nodded in agreement. Why wouldn't they when even The Holy See had made concessions?

Thus, these folks happily decided to support Elder Steward's proposal. Elder Steward quickly instructed the servants to settle them in first and to wait until other powerful individuals arrived before making any decisions.

After everyone had left, Ye Ling expressed his concerns to Elder Steward, "Why not directly open the Sterr Family's secret chamber? Why wait for other forces to arrive?"

"If we open it now, let's not even talk about whether we can gain entry with our own strength, there are many more powerful people coming behind us. Do you think they would go mad and tear down the Sterr Family if they couldn't get the treasure?"

"Since we can't defend it, it's better to let them fight for it based on their strength. Even if we lose, it won't be blamed on the Sterr Family, which is beneficial to us."

Elder Steward sighed with a bitter smile, "I really am unfilial. I can't even protect the treasures left by my ancestors. I don't know how I'll explain this to them after I die."

"Grandfather, don't think like that," Ruth said as she came to Elder Steward's side, patting his shoulder to console him.

Ye Ling nodded. Since they had put it that way, what more could he say? He couldn't actually slaughter all these folks, could he?

If Ye Ling really did such a thing, he feared that the entire Western Continent's ability users would trample over the land of Huaxia, and a disaster would inevitably follow.

"Tsk tsk, as a young master, I also want to be strong. I really want to see if this thing is as miraculous as they say," Ye Ling thought to himself. Having caught wind of such a good thing, he naturally wouldn't miss out.
Your journey continues with empire

By the morning, ten more powerhouses from various forces had arrived. In no time at all, the Sterr estate become the gathering place for all the big shots of the Western Continent's ability user community.

Ye Ling mused whether, once everyone was gathered, he should silently take them out and then unleash Huaxia's cultivators to come here and unify the whole world?

Smack, Ye Ling slapped himself, "Dammit, have I lost my mind? What am I thinking, getting ahead of myself like this?"

Even Ye Ling couldn't stand his own ideas. If he really went through with it, Huaxia could await the world's reprisal—what a joke.

In his room, Ye Ling was chatting with Alice. Meanwhile, Ai Lu had gone out to meet with a powerhouse sent by the Ross Clan.

With such an opportunity, the Ross Clan naturally wouldn't miss out, and so they sent someone with a Golden Core pinnacle cultivation to vie for this treasure.

Ruth pushed the door open and sat down on the bed, "It's really annoying. More bigwigs have arrived, and among them are a few Guardians."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling was momentarily startled, then scratched his head, "Guardians? Are they very strong?"

"More than just strong, each of them has lived for hundreds of years. A bunch of old monsters, calling themselves Guardians of Mi Country, protecting the nation and its citizens from harm."

"Now they've actually come to invade my Sterr Family. What a bunch of hypocrites, saying one thing and doing another. Shameful!"

Ruth clenched her teeth, furiously. These detestable people, calling themselves Guardians, that's really against one's conscience.

Ye Ling nodded, "I haven't felt them to be all that strong. A few days ago, I beat up a guy, don't know if he died, called Emperor Yasi. He also claimed to be a Guardian. Not sure if it's true or false."

Muttering to himself, Ruth suddenly froze, "Emperor Yasi! You terrible guy, you actually beat him up??"

"What about it? What's wrong with beating him up? I told you, it's questionable whether he's alive or dead," Ye Ling retorted.

What's so strange about that? There are so many people I've beaten up, it could circle the Earth several times. There's nothing to be surprised about.
