The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"She was once the sword spirit under the command of the Human Emperor. Could this young man, surrounded by the aura of a hundred emperors, be...?"

The Chu family's Supreme Elder stared intently at the composed Chu Xiu with his cloudy eyes. After figuring out the relationship between the Crimson-Haired Sword Spirit and Chu Xiu, his cloudy eyes gradually cleared.

The human race of the Southern Continent, which has been in decline for a long time... Is it finally about to usher in its next emperor?

Seeing that Chu Xiu remained unmoved by his questioning, the Second Elder of the Li family's eyes flashed with anger, but he dared not make a move because the Crimson Sky Sword Spirit, whose realm and strength were slightly higher than his, was protecting Chu Xiu behind him.

He examined the golden aura surrounding Chu Xiu, and upon sensing the overwhelming pressure emanating from him, he suddenly realized the truth.

That's right!

The aura surrounding this young man is absolutely that of an emperor!

Otherwise, how could a young man like him make a powerful expert at the first level of the Reincarnation Realm feel oppressed?

A young man with a hundred strands of imperial aura at a young age, a red-haired sword spirit at least at the first level of the Reincarnation Realm...

Suddenly, the second elder of the Li family realized something, his expression changed, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who exactly are you?"

Faced with the questioning from the second elder of the Li family, Chu Xiu originally did not want to respond.

It was only because his own strength was too low that he could not continue to maintain his disguise under the probing of a Reincarnation Realm expert.

If the experts present at the Transcendent Realm and above knew that he, a junior at the Shattered Void Realm, possessed so much imperial aura, he would definitely become the target of everyone's ire on the spot!

A single wisp of imperial aura is enough to make the powerful figures of the Southern Continent fight tooth and nail!

Moreover, Chu Xiu possesses a hundred paths!

"My lord, there is no need to worry. Your own strength may be slightly insufficient, but... the amount of royal energy within you is simply unbelievable..."

"With such a vast amount of imperial aura, if you were to display even a portion of it to the world through your ruler-shaped immortal artifact, it would create an event that blots out the sky!"

"Even a ninth-level Reincarnation Realm expert here wouldn't be able to see through your true strength!"

Chi Xiao's voice echoed in Chu Xiu's mind.

He was not at all surprised that Chi Xiao knew about the existence of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler. After he and Chi Xiao completed their master-disciple relationship, there would be no secrets between them if they wanted to find out.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, and with a flash of purple light, the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler appeared in his hand.

This Heaven-Suppressing Ruler was made in imitation of the Heavenly Forged Immortal Artifact Ruler held by the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Continent. Although its power is far inferior to that of the original owner, it can still be said to be complete.

One of the powers of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler is called the Method of Covering the Sky and Obscuring the Sun. Its function is twofold: either it amplifies one's own aura to the extreme through the Great Thousand World Heavenly Dao Qi contained in Chu Xiu's body, or it conceals one's aura to the extreme and shields the secrets of heaven!

Chu Xiu swung his ruler, unleashing the full pressure of the hundred auras of emperors surrounding him, while simultaneously suppressing his own Void Shattering Realm aura.

In the eyes of all the experts at or above the Transcendent Realm, he is now a powerful and imposing emperor!

Those who are also human powerhouses like Chu Xiu feel it even more acutely!

When Chu Xiu's imperial aura reached its peak, the human experts below the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm present changed their expressions drastically, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to their knees!

Seeing this, Chu Xiu chuckled to himself.

If we're going to put on an act, let's go all out!

"who am I?"

"I am Chu Xiu, and my master is Yao Zhong!"

"You want the real person? How can I give you an explanation?"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes, stepped past the reverent Chi Xiao in front of him, and took a step towards the direction of the Second Elder of the Li family, completely unleashing his imperial aura, which swept across the entire Yu City!

Yao Zhong?

Chu Xiu's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to carry throughout the entire Chu family compound.

All the cultivators present, at the Transcendent Realm and above, were instantly stunned and stood frozen in shock, unable to regain their composure!

Who is Yao Zhong?

The last emperor of the Southern Continent!

After his death, no emperor appeared in the Southern Lands, and the human race declined!

The Li family, which now claims to be the largest family among humans, was once just a loyal follower of Yao Chong!

Everyone present who knew the significance of the name Yao Zhong looked at Chu Xiu with extreme awe and disbelief.

The second elder of the Li family was shocked and filled with remorse.

Given his status and understanding, he naturally knew who he could mess with and who he absolutely could not offend!

His ancestor, Li, was once just a surviving bodyguard under Emperor Yao!

The Li family's current prosperity is all thanks to the rewards their ancestor received under Emperor Yao!

The young man before me, just like the Yao Emperor described in the ancestral biography, possesses a hundred strands of imperial aura surrounding him. Coupled with that red-haired sword spirit, what he said must be true!

This child is truly the successor personally chosen by the last Human Emperor of the Southern Continent!

The second elder of the Li family trembled slightly, cold sweat poured down his face, and his expression shifted as he desperately tried to figure out how to salvage the Li family's image in front of this successor of the Human Emperor.

He turned around and glared fiercely at Li Yunhao, who was hiding behind him.

If it weren't for this good-for-nothing, how could he have offended the future emperor of the human race right in front of him!

The second elder of the Li family looked at Chu Xiu, his eyes no longer displaying the arrogance of before, but instead filled with extreme fawning:

"Young friend Chu... no! Venerable Chu is joking..."

"Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Chu Xiu's face turned cold, and he took another step forward, pressing his imperial aura down on the head of the second elder of the Li family, forcing him to bow.

Chu Xiu's face remained cold and stern, but inwardly he was secretly delighted.

He leaped two major realms with his Shattering Void cultivation and suppressed a Reincarnation Realm expert!

This feeling is incredibly exciting!

The second elder of the Li family was unaware of Chu Xiu's thoughts. He directly pulled Li Yunhao, who had already fainted from the pressure of Chu Xiu's aura, and smashed his head with a palm, placing the corpse at Chu Xiu's feet as an offering.

He knew that only the death of the culprit who caused this scene could possibly appease Chu Xiu's anger!

The head of an illegitimate son, exchanged for the pacification of the wrath of a future emperor, is an absolute win-win situation!

"That brat is dead. Please, Venerable Chu, calm your anger..."

The second elder of the Li family bowed deeply, completely lowering his attitude.

If it weren't for his pride as a Reincarnation Realm expert, he would have knelt down and begged this successor of the Human Emperor to take him as his lackey, so that he could emulate that ancestor and fight for a long and bright future for the Li family.

Chu Xiu was taken aback, his brows furrowing.

The second elder of the Li family has great courage!

With Li Yunhao dead, unless he truly intends to maintain the facade of being the successor of the Human Emperor, he can no longer exert pressure on the Li family...

Well, there's a limit to how much you can pretend.

If this person is pushed too far, he will not gain anything in return.

Chu Xiu slightly toned down his imposing aura. "Fine, get lost."

The second elder of the Li family was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. After storing Li Yunhao's body in his storage space, he was about to leave.

"and many more."

Chu Xiu suddenly spoke, turning around to meet Chi Xiao's eyes, and Chi Xiao's prompt came to his mind.

"Tell Li Yin that I will personally go to your Li family's ancestral land soon. Tell him to prepare himself and give me an explanation!"

Li Yin! An ancestor of the Li family!

The second elder of the Li family had a solemn expression, and he was even more certain of Chu Xiu's identity.

After all, the names of the Li family's ancestors have only been known to the top members of the Li family since the founding of the family!

"Yes!" The second elder of the Li family clasped his hands in response, and his figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

Chu Xiu looked around and finally found Lin Chongyang standing silently behind the Supreme Elder of the Lin family in the crowd.

"Hey! Brother Chongyang, don't you remember your brother?"

"You said you wouldn't allow the eldest daughter of the Chu family to marry someone from the Li family, so I'm here to help you out! How about that, I kept my word!"

brush!

As soon as Chu Xiu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Chongyang, whose face had turned pale.

Chu Xuanling covered her mouth in surprise, her slightly flushed cheeks betraying her thoughts.

"Chongyang...he actually..."

Lin Qingyao looked at her nephew, her eyes filled with shock.

"Chongyang...when did you find such a close friend of such extraordinary status?"

Faced with the envious and shocked gazes of everyone, Lin Chongyang, the person involved, was caught between tears and laughter, standing there staring at Chu Xiu, inwardly wailing—

If you're not my buddy... who are you anyway...?

Do we really know each other...?
