184: Lu Wu has arrived!

Inside the plaza, everyone—from the large and small Sects to the emperors of various countries standing in the Void Realm—was astonished and began discussing amongst themselves.

Although they had estimated that Song Jianyi could reach the Void Shattering Realm, they truly hadn't expected him to Breakthrough to the Saint Rank.

This kind of talent is simply Heaven-Defying, a Prodigy among Prodigies. No wonder the Peerless Sect was acting so high-profile.

This wasn't the end yet. Song Jianyi flew up to the center of the plaza, and a little sword shot out from his glabella, hovering above him.

Suddenly, a shocking Sword Intent erupted from above his head, a Space-Time Storm burst forth from the Void Realm, and the pressure brought by the Sword Soul was fully displayed.

"A Sword Soul? Is that a Sword Soul?"

"Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable! In just three years, not only did he step into the Saint Rank, but his Sword Intent also Broke through to the Sword Soul Realm."

"To change his fate against the heavens in three years with the body of a Mortal, what magnificent bearing!"

Even those emperors were shaken and astonished by Song Jianyi. His world-shocking talent was no worse than that of the Imperial Clan's Saint and Saintess.

Many emperors developed a covetous heart, especially the two great Empires bordering the Heavenly Dragon Empire, who started having wicked ideas.

"Song Jianyi, I have a daughter, sixteen years old, with Void Shattering Realm cultivation base. She is beautiful and is the pearl of the Empire. Today, I intend to marry her to you. Are you willing to be my son-in-law?"

The Great Yan Empire's Emperor spoke first, intending to disgust the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Emperor, and also hoping to secure an extraordinary talent for his own Empire.

"Song Jianyi, I have a pair of twins, telepathically linked, eighteen years old, possessing Peak Condensing Gang Realm cultivation base. Their beauty is said to shame the moon and flowers, and they are my treasures. If you are willing to become my Imperial Son-in-Law, I will also give you massive resources, guaranteeing you worry-free progress until the Saint Rank Fourth Heaven."

The Heavenly Wind Empire's Emperor was even more ruthless; his offer was a decisive blow. He truly invested heavily for Song Jianyi.

The Heavenly Dragon Empire's Emperor's face turned livid upon seeing these two poach his Empire's Prodigy right in front of him, but he did not erupt in anger.

As the emperor of a country, since he had bet on Ji Mo, he would not easily entertain other ideas before Ji Mo had fallen. He understood that trying to please everyone ultimately displeased all.

The protagonist, Song Jianyi, was completely excited now, an uncontrollable smile appearing on his face.

Do not think that an Empire is weak; if an Empire brings out its foundation, destroying a Sect is simply too easy. To become an Imperial Son-in-Law is the lifelong goal of countless people.

However, this was, after all, the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Although he wanted to accept immediately, he had to consider all factors.

At this moment, Ancestor Tianhong, seeing his apprehension, sent a voice transmission: "Sword One, you don't need to worry. Accept the Heavenly Wind Empire's offer. The Heavenly Wind Imperial Family will surely help us oppose the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Family."

"Heh heh, still dreaming of becoming an Imperial Son-in-Law? Keep dreaming! It looks like it's my turn to step out and sober him up."

Ji Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, watching the smug Song Jianyi, and the killing intent in his heart grew stronger.

"Hahahaha..."

Just then, a burst of extremely wild, arrogant, and brazen laughter came from afar.

This sudden change caused Ji Mo to pull back the foot he was about to step out with.

"Song Jianyi, you still dare to try and be some damn Imperial Son-in-Law right in front of me! Are you worthy?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, and they saw a line of Sacred Beasts paving the way across the eastern horizon. They had lion heads, Flood Dragon bodies, and Dragon tails, and their Bloodline was clearly extraordinary.

These nine Sacred Beasts were pulling an Ancient War Chariot. As the chariot passed, space shattered, carrying the momentum of world-destruction as it arrived above the plaza.

As the chariot stopped, two Old Servants, both at the Saint Rank Third Heaven, stood bowing on either side. Looking upon the chariot, a black-clothed youth stood tall, a Saint Wheel rotating behind him, shining brilliantly like a rising great sun.

The terrifying power of the two-inch Blade Soul directly destroyed the ocean of swords created by Song Jianyi.

It was Lu Wu returning, and the moment he appeared, he used an overwhelmingly domineering stance to trample the Prodigy meticulously cultivated by the Peerless Sect.

Furthermore, the two-inch Blade Soul completely crushed Song Jianyi's proud one-inch Sword Soul, leaving it battered and bruised.

Moreover, this display was grander than that of anyone else present, perfectly showcasing the magnificence of the Imperial Clan.

"Lu Wu!" This was Song Jianyi's low growl, the sound escaping through clenched teeth, revealing his internal resentment and intense hatred.

Sensing Song Jianyi's gaze, Lu Wu stared back intently at Song Jianyi and mocked him disdainfully:

"What, you're unconvinced? Come try to fight! You dog."

The two Old Servants, understanding the Young Lord's intent, stepped forward, unleashing their unreserved oppressive might directly toward Song Jianyi.

"Pfft!"

The internal vexation and the fierce impact made him unable to hold back, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At the same time, he had no choice but to lower his proud head and retreat behind Ancestor Tianhong.

The focus of everyone present shifted to Lu Wu.

For a moment, silence fell over the area. Everyone shared the same thought: 'Lu Wu is truly worthy of being the Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor's biological son.' Just his domineering, arrogant, and disdainful personality showed he was a powerful figure.

Elder Tian Hong stepped forward, "Lu Wu, there is no need for this. Your fame is now known throughout the Xuanling Continent. Even before your return, the Sect had already decided to reserve the Sect Master position for you."

"Song Jianyi is also a Prodigy of the Peerless Sect and will be your capable assistant in the future. We hope you will treat the Sect well."

"Hahaha!" Lu Wu laughed loudly. "Very good. This Young Lord returned specifically for this Sect Master position. I want to prove to my father that I, Lu Wu, am absolutely the most outstanding among all his children."

"Whether it's personal talent, cultivation base, or methods of doing things, I am top-tier. This Young Lord wants to return to my father's side soon."

"At the same time, you can rest assured. As long as you assist me well, the Sect naturally won't suffer a loss. I believe my father can give you enough random items to ensure you are satisfied, and perhaps in the future, you old things might even Breakthrough to the Imperial Rank."

These words truly resonated with the old fellows of the Peerless Sect. Even the disrespect in his tone didn't matter, as the Imperial Rank was simply too tempting, and the benefits he offered were too great. This promise was too fragrant.

With things going so smoothly, Lu Wu was in an exceptionally good mood. Even his past history of being bullied was temporarily suppressed. It didn't matter; those small grasshoppers, once he took the position, others would kill them for him without him needing to lift a finger.

"Haha! This Young Lord is happy today. I am deeply honored to have so many people congratulating me, dozens of emperors witnessing this day, so many famous Sects from the Continent, and hundreds of Saint Rank cultivators jointly bearing witness."

"To show my sincerity, I will ask now: I have secured this position as Sect Master of the Peerless Sect. If anyone disagrees, you may step forward now."

The Heavenly Dragon Imperial Family was the most uncomfortable party present. They wanted to step forward but were wary of the person backing Lu Wu, which put them in a difficult situation.

The core ministers of the Empire wanted to share their sovereign's worries, but they were stopped by the emperor. This was simply not something they could participate in.
