All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Old woman, what right do you have to fight me?"

Zhou Hai looked at the old woman Qionghua again and said in a chilling tone.

"Kill me... Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"You two wicked masters killed my husband! From this day forward, if I live, I will never let you get away with this!"

With no hope of resistance, the old woman Qionghua was determined to die.

"Hehehe... So your husband died at my hands! No wonder you're so crazy!"

"What a pity, you're dreaming if you want to die and reunite with him!"

"Not to mention that he would have been completely destroyed by my hand, even if he still had a spirit, do you think I would let you have your way?"

"Since you're being unreasonable, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Zhou Hai laughed, and as he spoke, he clenched his five fingers and instantly crushed the old woman Qionghua's body.

"what……"

The old woman Qionghua only had time to let out a scream before her primordial spirit was exposed to everyone.

Zhou Hai did not destroy her primordial spirit, but instead waved his hand, and the Poison Soul Banner flew out, directly swallowing her primordial spirit!

"what……"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, seemingly recounting the boundless pain, causing the people below to hold their breath.

No one expected that the final fate of the powerful Qionghua Old Woman, who was a Purple Mansion Realm expert, would be to be imprisoned by a Dao-Merging Weapon and suffer endless torment for all eternity.

"Everyone, my master and I have killed quite a few people from your various sects!"

"Anyone else who wants to fight to the death, please speak up!"

Zhou Hai put away the Poison Soul Banner.

Although it was only a Daoist soldier, in Zhou Hai's hands, it could suppress all enemies below the level of a saint.

The scene was completely silent; even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

Even the sound of everyone's cold sweat dripping to the ground could be clearly heard.

Everyone held their breath. At this moment, they felt they were committing a heinous crime, let alone uttering a sound or even taking a deep breath!

This oppressive feeling torments one's will constantly, causing them to wail inwardly, yet they can only desperately endure it, hoping this moment will pass soon.

Zhou Hai, however, was not in a hurry at all. He calmly surveyed everyone until they could no longer hold back, at which point he spoke again.

"Looks like nobody's planning to fight to the death!"

"Can we talk now?"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly offered their opinions.

"Please, Sage, teach us; we will obey you even unto death!"

As they spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, they are not afraid of the sage making demands, but they are afraid that the sage will not even give them a chance to express their opinion!

"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

"Listen up, everyone! If you want to kill my disciple, you may!"

"In a contest among peers, even if my disciple dies, I will have no complaints. I will only blame his own lack of skill!"

"But from this day forward, anyone who dares to bully others by abusing their power and using the strength of their entire sect to persecute my disciples, don't blame me for destroying their sect and severing their lineage!"

"I am not exaggerating!"

"If you truly anger me, let alone you, even if the saints of the various holy lands were to be resurrected, I could make them die again!"

Zhou Hai's tone was chilling, and his voice boomed like thunder, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present.

That's too powerful! This is a true saint!

Legend has it that no sage has appeared in the world for ten thousand years.

This unique and supreme sage of our time is enough to suppress an entire era, and no one dares to disobey him!

"As ordered..."

No one dared to utter a word of nonsense; at this moment, only the word "obey" remained!

"Furthermore, as compensation for the harm done to my disciples during this period, it shouldn't be too much for me to ask you for good luck, right?"

Zhou Hai spoke again.

"Listen respectfully to the teachings of the sage!"

Everyone was speechless, only able to utter this one sentence.

"From this day forward, I wish my disciples unimpeded movement among all the holy lands and sects!"

"You may come and go to any of the major sects' secret realms for training purposes!"

"Of course, you can also set traps to ambush and kill them. As for the consequences, you can consider them carefully!"

Zhou Hai's calm tone immediately caused everyone's pupils to shrink.

Doesn't that mean that all the holy sites should just hand over their inheritance?

How can this be?

This is like digging up our ancestors' graves!

How can one face one's ancestors after death?

"Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect warmly welcomes the esteemed successor of the Sage!"

"Our Xuyun Peak respectfully welcomes the esteemed successor of the sages!"

"My Great Tang Dynasty..."

"My Great Yuan..."

"I was in the beginning..."

"I……"

Everyone was torn, and after a long time, they finally chose the former over the latter: not having the face to see their ancestors!

After all, how to meet one's ancestors is a matter for the future. If one ends up like the old woman of Qionghua, then one has no right to consider this matter!

Chen Bei stood quietly behind Zhou Hai, tears streaming down his face without anyone noticing!

As a notorious and ruthless demon whose fearsome reputation spread throughout the Northern Wilderness, no one had ever seen him shed a tear.

But at this moment, he could no longer control his emotions.

Actually, his master didn't need to intervene. If his ancestors had just stood up and said a word, given the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty, the various holy lands would have to think twice before trying to harm him.

Unfortunately, after his father's death, he seemed to have been completely abandoned by the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

None of the ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up for him; instead, they mingled with the group below and relentlessly hunted him down.

Tears streamed down his face as his gaze shifted between Zhou Hai and the group of people from the Great Qian Dynasty below.

So this is the warmth of being sheltered.

From this day forward, Chen Bei will no longer be alone in facing the world. He will have people to care for him and people to cherish him.

With his master around, he is a million times luckier than the holy sons of the major sects!

"You brat, why are you crying?"

"If you have any other requests, just say so. Let's see who dares to refuse today!"

Zhou Hai turned around and laughed and scolded.

"Hehehe, that's enough... With Master here, this disciple has no demands!"

"I only hope to fulfill my father's wish as soon as possible, and serve my master forever. That would be enough for me!"

Chen Bei smiled, his lips dry. Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked at the group of people from the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Ancestor, can you tell me why?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but tremble.

The old man at the head of the group, in particular, was deathly pale.

At this moment, they really don't want to be the center of attention!

"I don't understand. We are all descendants of the Chen family, yet I am the most outstanding. I have always taken it upon myself to restore the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"I may harbor some hostility towards other sects, but I have never let down the Great Qian lineage, nor have I wronged anyone in the Great Qian!"

"Why was it that in the end, it was the Great Qian who hunted me down most deadly?"

"You are also my ancestors, so why am I, their descendant, so disliked?"

Seeing that no one responded, Chen Bei felt a pang of pain in his heart.

During this period, he killed everyone from all the major sects, but he never killed the ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty.

He couldn't bring himself to do it, and he couldn't understand why they were relentlessly pursuing him!

The old man's face was deathly pale, his lips were purple, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"how?"

"Are they deaf or mute? Can't they speak?"

Zhou Hai's icy voice rang out, sending a chill down everyone's spine once again.

"Ancestor Chenxu, what is it that you can't say? We, the various holy lands, cannot stand by and watch what your Great Qian has done. We also want to know what exactly happened!"

"That's right, Ancestor Chenxu, you don't even spare your own descendants. Your Great Qian Dynasty is unworthy of being called a holy land. Just say what shameful things you have, but don't drag us down with you!"

"Old man Chenxu..."

People from all the holy lands immediately spoke up, following Zhou Hai's words to condemn the Great Qian lineage!

They really didn't want to die. In order to avoid further angering Zhou Hai, they had to meet all of Zhou Hai's demands, and also force others to meet them!
