Very soon, Xing Jue arrived at the emperor's chambers. However, when Xing Jue entered the chambers, he was shocked to discover that the emperor wasn't the only one inside the emperor's chambers. There were two men, one old and one young.
Xing Jue was very familiar with the old man because he was Prime Minister Wang Qiang, who tried to kill Xing Jue yesterday but suffered greatly because of Princess Xin Xin's appearance. He was currently the acting marshal of the Divine Secret Unit.
As for the other young man, Xing Jue had never seen him before. However, it was worth mentioning that this man was wearing the armor of the Divine Secret Unit and had the title of General. Most importantly, this man actually possessed the strength of an intermediate level Wargod.
Furthermore, this man's aura was very dense. It could be seen that he had already stepped into the intermediate level Wargod level for some time. Looking at his age, he could be considered a rare genius. However, when compared to Xing Jue, the difference was too great!
When Xing Jue entered the hall, the two of them looked at Xing Jue with unfriendly gazes. The word 'surprise' was clearly written on their faces, as if Xing Jue shouldn't be here.
From the gaze that was similar to Wang Qiang's, Xing Jue could guess that this young general was also someone from the Iron Blood Continent.
"Xing Jue, this is the general of the Divine Secret Unit, Pang Zhi, General Pang!"
"Pang Zhi, this is the rising star of my Divine Secret Unit. He has only been in my Starfall Dynasty for a short two months and has already reached the high level Battle-Saint level, Xing Jue, General Xing!" Seeing that Xing Jue and Pang Zhi were looking at each other, the emperor faintly smiled and introduced the two of them.
"General Xing Jue, I have long heard of your name. Now that I have met you today, your bearing is indeed extraordinary!"
Out of respect for the emperor, this Pang Zhi, who clearly didn't have any goodwill towards Xing Jue, actually greeted Xing Jue politely with a smile on his face. The words' extraordinary bearing 'were extremely hypocritical.
"Same here, same here!"
Xing Jue was not as hypocritical as Pang Zhi. Instead, he cupped his hands and made a simple gesture. He thought to himself, "I've never heard of you before. If the Emperor hadn't introduced you, I wouldn't have known who you are."
"Ha, Xing Jue, Pang Zhi, and Wang Aiqing."
"I called the three of you here today because I have something to tell you." The Emperor suddenly said with a smile.
After hearing the Emperor's words, Xing Jue and the other two looked at Xing Jue in unison. However, at this moment, Xing Jue could guess what Xing Jue wanted to say. He just couldn't figure out why Wang Qiang and Pang Zhi were here. However, looking at Pang Zhi's strength, Xing Jue could vaguely feel something.
"It's like this. A month ago, our Starfall Dynasty received a joint invitation from the emperors of the Phaseless Dynasty and the Fengli Dynasty!"
"They invited our Dynasty's Princess Xin Xin and the princes of the two dynasties to participate in a hunt. The location of the hunt is the sealed basin that has been sealed for a long time!"
"This is the first peaceful exchange between the three dynasties after the great battle in the sealed basin. It can be considered as a rare diplomatic opportunity. Therefore, I agreed to their invitation."
"However, due to the special environment of the sealed basin, the three dynasties have unanimously decided that, other than the princes and princesses, each dynasty can only send no more than three followers and guards to the sealed basin."
"Therefore, these three people must be the elites among the elites of our Starfall Dynasty. Not only will they ensure Princess Xin Xin's safety and take care of her daily life, they will also represent our entire Starfall Dynasty."
"Of these three people, I have personally chosen two of them in the imperial palace. Now, I have reserved one spot for the Divine Secret Unit. After all, the Divine Secret Unit is the signature of our Starfall Dynasty's battle power. Therefore, this person is very important." The Emperor explained to the three of them with a smile.
From the way Wang Qiang and Pang Zhi nodded their heads, it was obvious that they already knew about this matter. This further proved that Xing Jue's guess might be true.
"Your Majesty, I recommend Pang Zhi to accompany Princess Xin Xin to the sealed basin."
"Pang Zhi is the strongest among the younger generation of our Starfall Dynasty's Divine Secret Unit. Moreover, he is both brave and intelligent. There is no one more suitable for him to accompany Princess Xin Xin." However, before the Emperor could finish speaking, Wang Qiang actually took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and spoke with a grave expression.
After hearing Wang Qiang's words, Xing Jue's expression could not help but change slightly. That was because what he had guessed had really happened. Wang Qiang had indeed long known about Princess Xin Xin's hunt and had long since set his eyes on this position.
"I must say that Minister Wang is truly thoughtful and considerate. You are always thinking of the dynasty."
"However, I actually have another candidate in mind, and that is Xing Jue!"
"You should know Princess Xin Xin's temperament. If one has not come into contact with her, I'm afraid that she will deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Moreover, Xing Jue and Xin Xin have a rather good relationship. Therefore, I feel that Xing Jue is very suitable."
The Emperor was not angry at Wang Qiang's actions. Instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Xing Jue, who was standing below.
After hearing the Emperor's words, Wang Qiang and Pang Zhi's expressions instantly darkened and were filled with displeasure. In particular, Wang Qiang's gaze when he looked at Xing Jue was filled with resentment and hatred. He could not wait to strangle Xing Jue to death.
"Your Majesty, General Xing Jue has a very good relationship with Princess Xin Xin. I am also aware of this."
"However, you have also said that the person accompanying Princess Xin Xin Xin to the hunt this time represents our Starfall Dynasty."
"Especially the one and only person from the Divine Secret Unit. It represents the strength of the Divine Secret Unit. If a Battle-Saint were to go, I'm afraid …" Wang Qiang said with a grave expression.
"Eh …"
After hearing Wang Qiang's words, the Emperor was also startled. He did not expect Wang Qiang, who had always listened to him, to be so resolute today. He actually did not hesitate to debate with him and talk about great principles. However, this made things a little difficult for him.
However, at this moment, Xing Jue, who had been standing at the side for a long time, asked with a smile, "Lord Wang, do you mean that if Xing Jue's strength is at the level of a Wargod, he has the qualifications to accompany Princess Xin Xin?"
"Of course. However, it's a pity that you don't have it." Wang Qiang rolled his eyes at Xing Jue and said with a mocking tone.
"How do you know that I don't have it?" Xing Jue smiled and asked in return.
"Could it be that you do?"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Wang Qiang's expression involuntarily changed. He looked at Xing Jue nervously. Not only him, even the Emperor and Pang Zhi looked at Xing Jue with astonished gazes.
It should be known that Xing Jue had only broken through to a high level Battle-Saint a few days ago. This was something that everyone knew. At that time, the higher-ups of the Starfall Dynasty were all astonished by Xing Jue's rapid cultivation speed.
And from Xing Jue's words, it seemed that he had actually broken through to the level of a Wargod. If this was true, it was simply unimaginable. Therefore, even though they knew it was impossible, the three of them still looked at Xing Jue with astonished gazes.
Especially the Emperor, who was sitting on the main seat. Not only was his gaze filled with astonishment, there was also anticipation. As someone who thought highly of Xing Jue, he seemed to really hope that this miracle would really happen to Xing Jue.
"Buzz ~ ~ ~"
Facing the three's complicated gazes, Xing Jue did not reply. Instead, with a slight thought, a majestic aura spread out with him as the center. When the three people in the hall sensed this aura, they were all greatly astonished!
"Xing Jue, you really broke through. You actually reached the level of a Wargod!!!"
After sensing this aura, the Emperor suddenly stood up from the main seat and quickly walked to Xing Jue. His two powerful hands tightly grasped Xing Jue's shoulders. His flickering eyes were filled with indescribable excitement.
At this moment, Wang Qiang and Pang Zhi's faces were filled with astonishment. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open. They were completely shocked by the aura that Xing Jue was emitting. It wasn't because of how powerful it was, but because this aura proved Xing Jue's current strength.
A few days ago, he broke through to a high-level Battle-Saint, and in just a few days, he became a beginner Wargod. This was simply unimaginable. This was completely illogical. This was not something that could be described as a miracle.
If one had to use a word to describe Xing Jue, it would be a monster. If one had to use a word to describe his cultivation speed, it would still be a word — terrifying!
"Good, good, good. It seems like our Starfall Empire has really produced a super genius that is rarely seen in tens of thousands of years!"
"Hahaha, this is great, this is great. Xing Jue, you're really too amazing. You really didn't disappoint me."
"If you continue to cultivate at this speed, perhaps, perhaps you can reach that level. When that time comes, our Starfall Empire will be able to stand above the other two great empires and become the strongest existence."
At this moment, the emperor could no longer suppress the joy in his heart. He was extremely excited, like a child who had obtained his most beloved toy. As he danced with joy, he actually began to imagine a beautiful tomorrow.
It was as if he could see the future glory of the Starfall Empire from Xing Jue. At this moment, he had completely let go of the bearing that an emperor should have.
"Xing Jue, can you tell me how you cultivate?"
At this moment, Wang Qiang cast a doubtful gaze at Xing Jue. He really did not believe that Xing Jue had really reached the beginner Battle-Saint level. Even though he had clearly felt the aura emitted by Xing Jue, he still did not believe it.
"My dear minister Wang, there are thousands of continents in the Mortal Realm. Every continent has their own unique cultivation method."
"You are also someone who came from the Mortal Realm. I think you should know that the most important thing on the path of cultivation is not just the cultivation method."
"It's more about the individual's talent and ability to comprehend. No matter what cultivation method Xing Jue used, he has already displayed his awe-inspiring talent."
"As a minister of my Starfall Empire, I think you shouldn't be bothered by Xing Jue's cultivation method. Instead, you should be proud and happy that our Starfall Empire has such a talent, right?"
However, before Xing Jue could reply, the emperor suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Qiang. Even though he still had a faint smile on his face, his words revealed a fierce intent.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. I am naturally extremely happy that General Xing Jue has such talent, but …"
"There are no buts. You just need to continue being happy. Because as the acting marshal of the Divine Secret Unit, Xing Jue is also someone you should be proud of!"
Seeing that the emperor was displeased, Wang Qiang's heart tightened. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by the emperor. The meaning behind the emperor's words was very clear. From today onwards, he was not allowed to make things difficult for Xing Jue. Instead, he should be proud of him!
