Xing Jue smiled as he looked at Elder Zhuge's almost lifeless expression and his eyes that were filled with infinite reverie and shock.
After that, Xing Jue briefly told Elder Zhuge about what had happened. He didn't try to hide anything because he felt that there was no need to hide anything in front of this elder.
After hearing Xing Jue's story, Elder Zhuge did not say much. He only looked at Xing Jue with a more complicated gaze.
After that, Xing Jue asked Elder Zhuge about the Silkworm Granny and found out that she had not returned to the Hermit Peak ever since she left that day.
In order not to attract attention, Xing Jue did not intend to stay for long. He prepared to leave after letting his master know that he was safe and sound.
"Xing Jue, no matter what you have done, I am proud to have such an outstanding disciple like you."
Just when Xing Jue was about to leave, Elder Zhuge's voice came into his ears, "As a master, what I can give you now is too insignificant. However, no matter what you do in the future, I will fully support you!"
Looking sideways, he saw Elder Zhuge looking at him with a smile. Xing Jue also smiled brightly and replied softly, "Elder Zhuge,
"As a disciple, I am also very proud to have a master like you!"
When Xing Jue returned to the palace in the royal city, he entered the Soul-Devouring Ancient Tomb. At this moment, Xiao Lian was observing the Equipment Refining Formation. Although he could not refine it himself, he could judge the operation of the formation.
"Xiao Lian, how long will it take for you to successfully refine it?" Xing Jue walked closer and asked.
"Master, at least eight months, but it is very likely to be extended," Xiao Lian said with his lips twitched.
"If it is extended, how long will it take?"
"Ten months. Ten months is the longest. I will definitely succeed within ten months," Xiao Lian confirmed.
"Ten months? It will be the Wuzhi Peak Meeting in ten months, right? " Xing Jue's gaze was a little complicated and he looked a little worried. He thought to himself, Is Bao Er still not awake? Or … "
Thinking about how Granny Can had yet to return to Hermit Peak, Xing Jue knew that Bao'er had yet to wake up. After such a long time, Xing Jue was really worried that Bao'er would not wake up.
"Xiao Lian, can my dusty throne withstand the cold?"
"Of course you can. Master's Half Exalted Artifact is very amazing. It can be considered a top quality Half Exalted Artifact. It can even block attacks, let alone Bitter Cold Qi."
"What? Master, are you going to play in the snowy mountains? Don't worry, with the Dusty Throne, unless it's an offensive cold Qi like the Frost Cold Qi, no cold Qi can stop Master. "
"Of course, there is no such thing in this world," Xiao Lian explained in detail.
After listening to Xiao Lian's words, Xing Jue was more confident. He was indeed planning to go to the Arctic Lands. However, there were some things that Xing Jue needed to do before going there.
Now that the alliance between Hermit Peak and Dusty Royal City was successful, the elders' mission was completed. So, the next morning, Elder Zhuge and the other elders of Mount Wuzhi bid farewell and left.
After Elder Zhuge and the others left, Xing Jue called the four elders to the main hall of Dusty Royal City. He had something important to tell them.
"Four elders, what do you think of Xing Jue?" Xing Jue took out the warrant and handed it to the four elders.
"City Lord, if we disregard the crimes he has committed, then his talent in execution is truly outstanding," Elder Tian Xiang said bluntly.
"That's right. That Xing Jue is definitely a genius that is hard to come by in thousands of years. To be able to steal the Source Energy right under the eyes of the Hermit Peak, his ability is truly extraordinary." The Earth Phase Elder echoed.
In reality, not only the two of them, even the other two elders praised Xing Jue endlessly. Similarly, the four elders also had their eyes on Xing Jue's Honorable Weapon. However, they had their eyes on the rumored Honorable Weapon and wanted to take it for the current City Lord to use.
During this time, Xing Jue had already expanded his soul power to the extreme. He was carefully observing the four elders' reactions and the changes in their aura to analyze whether they were disgusted by his true identity or not.
"Four elders, you all know that I am not a native of the East Region. I came from the center of the world. Aren't you curious about my true identity? Which sect did I belong to? "Xing Jue asked with a smile. However, his slightly narrowed eyes constantly swept across the four elders.
"City Lord, the King Stage Lord has acknowledged you so much and is willing to use you. Even thousands of years ago, there wasn't a City Lord who could do this."
"No matter where you come from, what force you used to belong to, or what you did, my Dusty Royal City is your home. Everything here belongs to you. Everyone here will listen to your arrangements!" Elder Tian Xiang was the first to speak. His face was full of sincerity, as if he was assuring his loyalty.
"That's right, City Lord. Don't worry about the past. No matter what you did in the past, you are our City Lord. We are willing to follow you for life." The other three hurriedly echoed.
Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang were all people who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. They could hear that Xing Jue was probing. They believed that Xing Jue was most likely using the wanted poster to insinuate his true identity.
"However, my true identity might bring disaster to the Dusty Royal City!" Xing Jue let out a long sigh. In truth, Xing Jue was very satisfied with the four elders' reactions.
"Disaster? What do you mean by that? "The four elders looked at each other in confusion and asked in unison.
"There is a great enemy behind me. If they know that I am in the Dusty Royal City, it will bring disaster to the city." Xing Jue explained with some embarrassment.
"Great enemy? There is no one in the entire world that my Dusty Royal City fears. City Lord, tell me who your great enemy is and I will help you get rid of him right now! "
"That's right, the City Lord's great enemy is my Dusty Royal City's great enemy. Anyone who dares to disrespect the City Lord will be punished by the people of my Dusty Royal City!"
Xing Jue's words caused the four Elders to become extremely furious. A clear fury surged onto their elderly faces. It was as though they would not allow anyone to hurt Xing Jue or humiliate him.
After seeing the four elders' reaction, Xing Jue's heart finally calmed down. Then, his figure changed and his face returned to his original appearance.
"Four elders, you should know who my great enemy is now." Xing Jue said with a smile after changing his appearance.
"Xing Jue … City Lord, so you are the Xing Jue wanted by Mount Wuzhi?" The four elders were stunned when they saw Xing Jue's true appearance. They were dumbfounded as if they could not believe their eyes.
"To be honest, my real name is Xing Jue!" Xing Jue nodded, but his smile was a little awkward.
"Xing Jue? Awakened? I see, I see. Hahaha … "Suddenly, Elder Tian Xiang burst into laughter. The other three elders were also beaming with joy as if they had encountered a great event.
"Elders, what are you doing?" Xing Jue was completely confused as he stared at the four elders. He did not know what to do. His heart, which had just calmed down, was in his throat again.
Xing Jue had to reveal his cards to the four elders sooner or later. The reason why he chose today was because he had secretly inquired about the four elders' opinions.
In Xing Jue's opinion, they did not care about Xing Jue's past identity. They only believed that Xing Jue was their City Lord.
However, when he saw the elation on the four elders' faces, he felt a little uncertain. Logically speaking, the four elders should have been extremely shocked when they found out his true identity. But now, it was the complete opposite of what he had expected.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, the four elders knelt on the ground in unison. They bowed their heads and kowtowed to Xing Jue, then said in unison,
Then, they said in unison, "Mount Wuzhi dares to harm the City Lord, which means that you are the enemy of the Dusty Royal City. City Lord, tell us what you want to do. The entire Royal City will listen to you!"
"This …" Seeing the four elders' actions, Xing Jue felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely numb. But soon after, his face was filled with joy.
"Elders, please get up. Please get up." Xing Jue walked quickly to the four elders and helped them up one by one.
"City Lord, no one in the younger generation has been able to do what you have done. Even Yunming, Songzhu, and the greatest City Lord of Royal City have not done it."
"We are proud to have a City Lord like you. City Lord, Mount Wuzhi dares to oppress you. We must take revenge. Tell us, how should we deal with them?" Elder Tianxiang was the first to speak. This elder who had always been hostile to Xing Jue was now the one who supported Xing Jue the most.
"City Lord, tell us. The Dusty Royal City is not afraid of Mount Wuzhi!" The other three spoke at the same time. Their voices reverberated through the main hall like thunder. At the same time, they also expressed their determination.
"Thank you for your trust and support in me, Xing Jue. However, I, Xing Jue, will never joke around with the lives of the people of Royal City."
"You don't understand the true strength of Mount Wuzhi. Their strength is definitely not as simple as it seems. The Sect Master is not the only high-level Asura Martial God. In fact, the Sect Master's strength is not even the strongest in Mount Wuzhi."
"Take Returning Peak for example. Apart from the sect master, there are also the Nine Venerable Ones. They are all people who have lived for thousands of years. There is also the Supreme Elder."
"The Supreme Elder has the Returning Peak's Venerable Weapon. He is very terrifying."
"This is only Returning Peak's strength. I don't know how powerful the other four peaks, especially Heaven Path Peak, are!" Xing Jue said solemnly.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the four elders looked at each other and fell into deep thought. They indeed did not understand Mount Wuzhi's current strength. They only knew a little about it on the surface.
After all, they had lived in isolation for such a long time. In fact, the whole world was unfamiliar to them. Their understanding of the world had stopped at thousands of years ago.
