Chapter 618: Thinking of things too terribly, Seemingly giving them something
The Southern Ming Dynasty’s capital was also an ancient city with a very long history in the entire Southern Barren State. It was said that in ancient times, it was immortalized through terrible turmoil.
Because of the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons, the Southern Ming’s capital was filled with awe-inspiring scenes. Soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere, and above the sky, strong men wielding longswords ran back and forth, alert to any disturbance.
After returning to the imperial capital, Princess Xuandie took Gu Changge and others, heading straight for the palace.
The current Emperor Nanming was waiting for Gu Changge in the palace. On the way, Minister Chen and others had already informed Emperor Nanming of what happened, so that the Emperor Nanming would be extremely cautious and dare not slack off.
The origin of Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty was not trivial, and from the message sent by Princess Xuandie, it could be known that Gu Changge’s status in the world where the extraterrestrial demons were located was extremely respected and precious.
“I just don’t know if this person is an enemy or a friend. I heard that he saved Chen Ah Qing’s life…”
Emperor Nanming was wearing a light golden dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head. He had a very heroic demeanor and a strong physique. He paced back and forth in the hall and whispered to himself.
In addition to him, there were several elders from the Sword Sect in the hall today, all of whom had entered the eighth realm. He was also a well-known powerhouse in the entire Southern Barren State, stomping his feet could change the color of mountains and rivers as he had great power.
They also heard the news from Princess Xuandie, so they rushed from the Sword Sect in a hurry, wanting to see the visitor from beyond the sky.
The Sword Sect attached a great importance to this matter, and even Snow Sword Immortal, who had rushed back from the ancient altar had a sudden change of expression.
“If he displays hostility, I will immediately take him down.” An elder from the Sword Sect said with a ruthless look.
Emperor Nanming showed a worried look, and waved his hands, “I hope it’s a friend rather than an enemy, otherwise I can’t imagine the consequences. Minister Chen said that the young master’s subordinate is at least in the ninth realm. Unless the Sword Immortal makes a move, no one can stop him.”
Having said that, he couldn’t help but sigh, there was nothing he could do.
Even in the huge Nanming Dynasty, there were only a handful of existences who had entered the ninth realm, and even he had to treat them with respect. But besides that young man, he could only be reduced to a subordinate, not to mention that the young man’s cultivation was unfathomable. If such a character showed hostility, could the Southern Ming Dynasty stop him?
“A subordinate of the strength at the Ninth Realm?” The complexions of the elders of the Sword Sect suddenly changed. They took a deep breath and looked at each other, and their scalps felt a little numb.
The elder whose eyes were ruthless just now turned pale. His lips trembled slightly, and he didn’t dare to speak anymore.
There were nine realms, one realm, and one heaven, not to mention the gap between these latter realms.
To put it bluntly, the existence of the ninth realm was almost invincible except for Sword Immortals. If one wanted to kill a cultivator in the eighth realm, they only needed to blow one breath to make them lose his soul.
“Since he saved Chen Ah Qing’s life, then he doesn’t look like a villain…”
“I can only hope that he has no other intentions.” Several elders sighed.
“Chen Ah Qing’s father stepped into the rift outside the sky at that time. Unfortunately, there has been no news until now. His life and death are unknown. Our world has completely lost the existence of four terrestrial Sword Immortals. The hope of this battle is even slimmer.”
When Chen Ah Qing was mentioned, an elder from the Sword Sect couldn’t help but shake his head and sighed, with a tone of great regret.
After all, it was a Sword Immortal-level existence, comparable to their sect master. Even among superpowers like the Sword Sect, there were only two or three, and missing one would be a huge loss.
“By the way, what did the sect master say about the ancient altar?” At this time, Emperor Nanming’s expression suddenly became solemn.
He knew a lot of secrets about the ancient altar. It was said that the future could be predicted and divined there. The evolution of the Jianxuan Great World could be predicted.
It was just that the place where the ancient altar was located was extremely mysterious, and it needed the joint efforts of several Sword Immortals to open it. In the eyes of many creatures, that ancient altar was their last hope.
“Sect Master just nodded and shook her head, and didn’t answer our question.” Several elders looked extremely regretful. They didn’t know what the result would be.
At this time, a voice came from outside the palace, Princess Xuandie walked in front, followed by Gu Changge, Ah Qing, and others.
“Father!”
Princess Xuandie greeted Emperor Nanming and was about to introduce Gu Changge to them.
However, Emperor Nanming had already waved his hands first, his eyes fell on the young man in front of him, he cupped his hands and said, “The Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty greets this young master.”
His att.i.tude was very low, extremely humble, not like the emperor of a country at all.
The rest of the elders of the Sword Sect were also sizing up Gu Changge, with cautious and careful eyes, not daring to make any overstepping movements, for fear of arousing Gu Changge’s displeasure.
In terms of appearance, he really didn’t look like a villain, on the contrary, he had a detached and refined meaning, like a banished immortal who accidentally left the world. It was a little rea.s.suring for them, as sometimes the first sense was.
“The emperor of the country does not need to be too polite, I have no malicious intentions. You don’t have to be so cautious.” Gu Changge said with a slight smile, his expression seemed easy-going and gentle.
“Let Your Excellency laugh, it’s really because the pressure you give is really too much.” Seeing Gu Changge’s att.i.tude, Emperor Nanming breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile.
When he stood in front of Gu Changge just now, he couldn’t breathe. When he was almost unconscious, his back was already wet with cold sweat. This had nothing to do with cultivation strength, but a difference in level, a gap that naturally arises.
It was like an ant standing in front of a true dragon and trembling involuntarily. Although Gu Changge looked gentle and refined, Emperor Nanming had been in charge of the dynasty for thousands of years, so he still had the vision.
This was just indifference and overlooking them, just like looking at a stone on the side of the street, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart. So he knew very well that it was impossible for Gu Changge to put them on an equal footing, the only thing he could do was to lower his att.i.tude and be as humble as possible.
“They are?” Gu Changge ignored the change in Emperor Nanming’s expression and looked at the elders from the Sword Sect on the other side.
The Southern Ming Dynasty was not the master of the Southern Barren State, Gu Changge was very clear about this, what he was looking for was the real master of the Southern Barren State, not the Emperor.
“We are the elders of the Sword Sect, and we greet the Young Master.” The elders of the Sword Sect didn’t dare to relax in the slightest and hurriedly cupped their hands.
“The elder of the Sword Sect?” Gu Changge nodded in a daze, and then smiled, “I heard that the sect master of the Sword Sect is the number one beauty in Southern Barren State. She is also an existence who has stepped into the Sword Immortal level, I wonder if I can see her today? ”
Hearing that Gu Changge specified that he wanted to see their Sect Master, the elders of the Sword Sect jumped in their hearts, and they could only bite the bullet and reply, “Reporting to the young master, the Sect Master is busy with something and I’m afraid she won’t be able to make it to the Nanming Dynasty today.”
“Oh, since I can’t see her today, forget it, I think there will be a chance in the future.” Gu Changge smiled lightly, not looking very concerned.
However, Emperor Nanming kept an eye out, what was Gu Changge’s intention in meeting Snow Sword Immortal?
Although he looked really different from other extraterrestrial demons, how could he come from outside the sky for no reason?
It was just that he didn’t dare to ask Gu Changge the reason, because that would only cause Gu Changge’s displeasure.
“Thank you for saving Xuandie’s life, my lord. If you have any orders or requests, just ask me. Anything that my Southern Ming Dynasty can do, I will definitely do for you.”
Emperor Nanming then glanced at Princess Xuandie who was at the side and arched his hands again with an extremely sincere att.i.tude.
In any case, it was an unchangeable fact that Gu Changge had saved Princess Xuandie’s life.
Princess Xuandie stood quietly beside Emperor Nanming. She was slender and slim with bright cherry lips, a straight nose, black and white eyes, looking extremely beautiful. Her long hair fluttered like an immortal flower. She was the second most beautiful woman in the Southern Barren State, second only to her master Snow Sword Immortal.
Gu Changge smiled lightly when he heard the words, “It’s just a matter of raising my hands, there is no need to give orders.”
“Actually, you don’t need to be so cautious about me. You just need to know that in the Upper Realm, not all forces like to fight for hegemony and aggression. There are also many families who pay attention to immortality and long-term vision, and don’t compete with the world.”
“In your eyes, the extraterrestrial demons look terrifying, but in our world, they are just ordinary cultivators. You think things are too complicated, and they are too scary.”
Seeing Gu Changge’s sudden words, everyone in the hall was stunned. There was even a gleam in the eyes of Emperor Nanming, and it seemed that Gu Changge was pointing them to something.
