Wang Xiu saw Gu Changsheng and Tuoba Beier flying towards Yanmo City, and his heart was filled with excitement, nervousness, and apprehension.
He was excited because he had just witnessed Gu Changsheng's attack, obliterating the Supreme projection with a single slap, leaving no ripples whatsoever. What a display of immense power!
He wouldn't have dared to even dream of seeing someone like that, let alone witnessing it firsthand.
But now, such a figure was actually flying towards him. How could he not be excited?
As for the nervousness and apprehension, it was because he didn't know what Gu Changsheng intended to do. However, thinking of the title "Holy Emperor," he figured he wouldn't be as cruel and unjust as the Shaxing Sect.
Therefore, Wang Xiu's nervousness and apprehension were very slight.
When Gu Changsheng arrived above the city wall with Tuoba Beier, Wang Xiu subconsciously knelt down to greet him.
"Greetings, Holy Emperor! Greetings, Holy Maiden!"
Wang Xiu was like a subject at this moment, pressing his forehead close to the ground. The cultivators behind him also knelt down hurriedly, even though they didn't know the specific meaning of Holy Emperor and Holy Maiden. They just followed what the City Lord was doing.
"Rise!"
Gu Changsheng spoke slowly.
"Thank you, Holy Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu and the others stood up nimbly and stood to the side, looking like they were waiting for their emperor to give instructions.
High in the sky, Yao Xian sat on a cloud of white auspiciousness, her elbows resting on her thighs, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes lowered to look at the scene below, at the figure who, without leaking domineering aura, could make all living beings sincerely submit.
In her opinion, Gu Changsheng naturally possessed a leadership temperament. Just by standing there, Gu Changsheng could give people a sense of conviction. This was not something that could be obtained just by having strong cultivation.
However, despite naturally possessing such abilities, he thought about drinking all day long, and recently he had become fond of fishing. No wonder Sister Houtu always complained that he was lazy and didn't attend to his duties!
Yao Xian watched with a smile, her eyes reflecting Gu Changsheng's figure. Her eyes were full of Gu Changsheng.
"So handsome!" Yao Xian said.
"Hmm?"
But the next moment, her long eyelashes twitched slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
A powerful Supreme aura was coming this way, disturbing her admiration of her man's heroic posture.
"Humph!"
Yao Xian snorted coldly, a hint of coldness in her eyes, and her figure disappeared into the clouds.
On the city wall of Yanmo City, Gu Changsheng naturally sensed this aura as well, but since Yao Xian was going to handle it, he didn't need to take action.
It was just a Supreme. Even if a True Immortal came, they would not be Yao Xian's opponent.
"What's your name?" Gu Changsheng asked Wang Xiu.
Seeing Gu Changsheng ask his name, Wang Xiu immediately straightened his expression and said, "This humble one's surname is Wang, and my given name is Xiu."
Gu Changsheng nodded lightly, while the ominous premonition in Tuoba Beier's heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Senior Uncle, what are we going to do? Why don't you just move your mind and send me back to the mortal realm? I won't disturb you doing things."
Tuoba Beier obediently transmitted her voice to Gu Changsheng.
"We'll talk about it later," Gu Changsheng replied.
Tuoba Beier nodded lightly, thinking that Senior Uncle would send her back later, and the unease in her heart disappeared. She wondered if she should bring some wine back with her.
Gu Changsheng ignored what Tuoba Beier was thinking. He looked at Wang Xiu and said, "Wang Xiu."
"Here!" Wang Xiu responded immediately.
"I want to establish a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace here. Do you agree?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Is it in Yanmo City?" Wang Xiu asked.
Gu Changsheng nodded.
A look of difficulty appeared on Wang Xiu's face. Gu Changsheng noticed his expression and asked, "What's the difficulty?"
Wang Xiu shook his head and said, "There's no difficulty, but this humble one wants to know, if the Holy Emperor Palace establishes a branch in Yanmo City, how many resources will need to be turned over each year?"
As Wang Xiu spoke, the surrounding cultivators all showed different expressions. They were also very concerned about this issue.
In their opinion, it didn't matter who was above them, as long as they could continue to live.
So how many resources they had to hand over was their biggest concern.
As long as it was less than the Shaxing Sect, what was wrong with them supporting the Holy Emperor Palace?
"Hand over resources?"
Before Gu Changsheng could speak, Tuoba Beier looked at Wang Xiu with wide eyes, as if he was insulting them.
"Go and find out, when has our Holy Emperor Palace ever needed others to hand over resources? Not only do we not need you to hand over resources, but if your performance is good enough, we will give you large amounts of resources. Immortal scriptures and immortal medicines are not a problem."
Tuoba Beier said grandly. In the mortal realm, the Holy Emperor Palace had given a lot of immortal medicines and divine medicines to those immortal forces and large forces. Even immortal scriptures, they had obtained many from the inheritance shrines of the Twelve Ancestral Gods.
The current mortal realm, apart from Senior Uncle and Master, is not as strong as other worlds in terms of overall strength, but its foundation is definitely not worse than other worlds.
And from the fact that the people of the Shaxing Sect were just verbally insulted and were strongly killed by Tuoba Beier, it can be seen how much she maintains the Holy Emperor Palace.
She felt that Wang Xiu's words were insulting the Holy Emperor Palace. If she didn't know that Wang Xiu didn't mean it, she would definitely reward Wang Xiu with an endless wine gourd.
But Wang Xiu and the others were shocked by what Tuoba Beier said?
What did they hear? As long as they performed well, they could get immortal scriptures that countless living beings sought but could not get? And immortal medicines?
Isn't this bragging?
Wang Xiu felt that Tuoba Beier was exaggerating, but he didn't dare to say it.
"If I don't need to hand over resources, this humble one is willing to accept the Holy Emperor's request." Wang Xiu could only say that. As for what immortal scriptures and immortal medicines, even if they were real, he wouldn't dare to ask for them.
He was only a Free and Unfettered Realm cultivator. Even if he got immortal scriptures and immortal medicines, he probably wouldn't be able to keep them. It would just be making wedding clothes for others.
The most important thing now is to allow Yanmo City to continue to exist, so that hundreds of thousands of living beings in the city can continue to survive in Yanmo City.
"Since that's the case, Beier."
"Disciple is here!"
Tuoba Beier subconsciously responded quickly when she heard Gu Changsheng calling her.
"You are the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace. The establishment of a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace in the Taixu Realm is a major event. As the Holy Maiden, you must shoulder the responsibility of the Holy Maiden and be fully responsible for this matter, understand?"
Gu Changsheng asked seriously.
After hearing this, Tuoba Beier's face changed suddenly. She finally knew why she had an ominous premonition in her heart. It turned out that the root of everything was here.
"Senior Uncle, can I refuse?" Tuoba Beier looked at Gu Changsheng with grief and mixed feelings.
"No!" Gu Changsheng turned his head to the other side, not looking at the girl's pitiful expression, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.
"Hmph, I'm going back to tell Master that Senior Uncle, you bullied me." Seeing this, Tuoba Beier immediately put away her pitiful expression and changed it to a threat.
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately smiled and said, "If your master knows my decision, she will definitely praise me."
"..." Tuoba Beier.
She was speechless, because Senior Uncle was right. Master's goal was to unify the heavens and myriad worlds. Senior Uncle's establishment of the Holy Emperor Palace branch here would be a great help to Master's cause, and she would definitely not blame Senior Uncle.
Even Master would personally order her to be in charge of this matter after knowing about it.
Who made her the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace?
Tuoba Beier knew that she couldn't refuse, so the matter of the Holy Emperor Palace branch fell on her.
But I just want to drink!
Tuoba Beier thought unwillingly, especially seeing Gu Changsheng leisurely drinking from the wine pot, her inner resentment soared to the sky.
"Why can Senior Uncle drink leisurely, but I have to work?"
Tuoba Beier said with dissatisfaction.
"Ah..." Gu Changsheng took a big sip of wine, let out a sigh, and then said with a smile: "Because I don't need to cultivate, and I don't need to experience."
"..."
...
