In a conference hall, Jian Wushuang stood there with some people sitting on the chairs around him.
They were all Temple Masters. There were nine of them.
Among the nine Temple Masters, Jian Wushuang only knew Temple Master Pure Moon. He had never seen the others before, but at this moment, they all looked at him as if he were a monster.
"It's incredible that he comprehended the Slaughter Dao in the Saint Realm and possessed the battle strength of a top Divine Emperor. It's a pity that he's not from the Monster Continent, but an outsider."
These Palace Masters also whispered a few words to each other.
"Jian Wushuang," Temple Master Pure Moon suddenly said.
Temple Master Pure Moon suddenly said, "You killed Emperor Golden Snake in the Life-and-Death Duel, and your strength has reached the level of a top Divine Emperor. Now that you've reached that level, you can replace Golden Snake and become one of the Divine Emperors of the Monster-exterminating League. Are you willing to take this position?"
If Jian Wushuang was from the Monster Continent, he would become a Divine Emperor without any hesitation.
However, Jian Wushuang was an outsider after all. Whether or not he would become one of the Sir Gods, Jian Wushuang had to agree to it himself.
"A Divine Emperor?" Jian Wushuang thought for a while and nodded slightly. "I agree."
He still had a lot of room for growth, so he was not in a hurry to leave the Monster Continent. He wanted to improve his strength with the help of the Monster-exterminating League, so he was determined to become a Divine Emperor.
"Since you've chosen to be a Divine Emperor, I hope you can abide by the basic duties of a Divine Emperor. After all, the Monster-exterminating League's resources are not free," Temple Master Pure Moon said.
"No problem." Jian Wushuang nodded again.
It was natural for him to be paid for fulfilling his duties.
"Since you're a Divine Emperor, give yourself a title," Temple Master Pure Moon said.
The Divine Emperors of the Monster-exterminating League, including the Temple Masters, used their own titles. Few people knew their real names.
"A title …" Jian Wushuang thought for a while and said with a smile, "In my hometown, experts at the Divine Emperor Realm are called monarchs. Since my surname is Jian and I'm good at Sword Principle, I'll be called Sword Emperor from now on."
"Sword Emperor?" Temple Master Pure Moon nodded slightly. "Soon, I'll spread the news of you becoming a Divine Emperor. It won't be long before all the humans and Demonic Beasts on the Monster Continent know about your existence."
Jian Wushuang smiled indifferently, not minding it at all.
"Sword Emperor." Just then, a middle-aged man with a mustache spoke up from his seat.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Temple Master Pure Moon and the other Temple Masters' expressions became strange.
This middle-aged man was none other than Temple Master Iceberg.
Without Temple Master Iceberg's intervention, the Life-death Duel between Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake would not have happened.
"Temple Master Iceberg, do you have something to say?" Temple Master Pure Moon asked with interest.
Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes and looked at Temple Master Iceberg.
"Hehe." Temple Master Iceberg smiled and looked at Jian Wushuang kindly. "I'm here to apologize to you, Sword Emperor."
"Apologize?" The expressions of the surrounding Hall Masters changed.
Jian Wushuang's expression also changed slightly.
"Alas!" Temple Master Iceberg sighed softly and said, "I watched Golden Snake grow up step by step, and he has always been very respectful to me. This time, he came to me for help, and I agreed to help him because of his respect for me over the years."
"It's my fault. Sword Emperor, I hope you won't take it to heart. If you're dissatisfied, you can tell me. I can compensate you with some treasures or Monster Cores."
Temple Master Iceberg spoke very sincerely. It seemed that he was indeed apologizing to Jian Wushuang.
However, his actions surprised Temple Master Pure Moon and the others.
Temple Master Iceberg was one of the top three Temple Masters in the Monster-exterminating League. Moreover, he was quite overbearing. In the Monster-exterminating League, not many Temple Masters dared to provoke him.
For example, when he stood up for Temple Master Golden Snake this time, few Temple Masters dared to disrespect him.
But now, such an overbearing Temple Master Iceberg was apologizing to a Divine Emperor?
Did the sun rise from the west?
Even Jian Wushuang felt flattered at this moment.
"What's wrong with Temple Master Iceberg?" Jian Wushuang frowned secretly.
Although Temple Master Iceberg had indeed offended Jian Wushuang this time by standing up for Emperor Golden Snake, Jian Wushuang knew that he was nothing in front of Temple Master Iceberg. Temple Master Iceberg didn't need to apologize to him at all.
However, Temple Master Iceberg did it. Moreover, he did it in front of the other Temple Masters and took the initiative to apologize to him.
Although Jian Wushuang didn't understand and didn't want to let it go so easily, he didn't fall out with Temple Master Iceberg openly. "Temple Master Iceberg, you're too polite. It's mainly Emperor Golden Snake's fault. It has nothing to do with you, so I won't blame you."
"Thank you, Sword Emperor," Temple Master Iceberg said kindly.
"Temple Masters, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Jian Wushuang said. After bowing slightly to the Temple Masters present, he turned around and left.
As soon as Jian Wushuang left, Temple Master Iceberg immediately followed him.
This made Temple Master Pure Moon and the others even more confused.
"What's wrong with Temple Master Iceberg today?"
"Tsk-tsk, Temple Master Iceberg is usually overbearing, but today he took the initiative to apologize to a Divine Emperor. This isn't his style."
"I think there must be something fishy about this."
These Temple Masters were talking and laughing casually. They were not fools and could see that Temple Master Iceberg's behavior must have some purpose.
However, they didn't know what it was.
…
As soon as Jian Wushuang left the hall, Temple Master Iceberg immediately followed him.
"Sword Emperor." Temple Master Iceberg came to Jian Wushuang's side.
Jian Wushuang stopped and asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Temple Master Iceberg?"
"There's indeed a small matter," Temple Master Iceberg said gently with a smile. "Come, let's talk while walking."
Jian Wushuang was a little vigilant, but he still walked forward with Temple Master Iceberg.
After all, this was the Holy Place. Although Temple Master Iceberg was a Temple Master and had great power in the Monster-exterminating League, he wouldn't attack Jian Wushuang openly in the Holy Place.
"I'd like to see what Temple Master Iceberg is up to," Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
