For the people in the Ninth Serenity, the Moon Severing Stage cultivator's ascension was, of course, a big deal. For the World of Eight Cultivators, it was also a good thing to integrate new blood and expand their territory.
Therefore, they were rewarded with the title of nobility and the protection of the envoys of the Eight Cultivators for ten years.
At the end of the ten years, there would be a reward and a ceremony — this was the official establishment of this force and integration into the World of Eight Cultivators.
Of course, it was impossible for an ordinary sect to dominate a province in just ten years like the Abandoned Sword Villa. Not only could the surrounding forces not bully them, but they also had to curry favor with and support them.
Therefore, the Great Moon Dynasty rewarded the Abandoned Sword Villa even more generously after the ten years were up.
Originally, after ten years of saving, they would be conferred the title of a second-class baron. However, because the Abandoned Sword Villa was so powerful, they directly promoted the title of a first-class baron. In addition, there were all kinds of medicinal pills and countless gold and silver.
Even so, Shen Zhenyi still felt that the Great Moon Dynasty was a bit stingy.
"Now that Emperor De is in power, his generosity can't compare to his ancestors. Otherwise, the Abandoned Sword Villa should have been conferred the title of a viscount."
Conquering a province would have been conferred the title of a viscount.
Conquering a province would have been conferred the title of a marquis.
This had always been the rule of the World of Eight Cultivators. It was unknown whether it was because the dynasty was struggling or because of other reasons, but in short, the rewards weren't generous enough.
Shen Shou smiled bitterly. He had been in the World of Eight Cultivators for ten years, so he naturally knew the situation of this world better. Although his son was amazing, he was still limited to one province.
The Great Moon Dynasty commanded eighteen provinces and a part of the Nine Provinces. The power of the emperor was boundless.
Which martial artist in the current era would dare to mention the emperor's name?
... Only this son of his could.
Shen Shou and Granny Chihuo were too embarrassed to speak, so they could only lower their heads and remain silent.
"Young Master, the sect masters of the Dragon Emperor Palace, Moon Worshipping Cave, and Purple Flame Sect are all here. Do you want to go down and meet them?" Yun Nilai broke the awkwardness. The ceremony this time was so grand that even Sufangzhai, who had been in seclusion, came. It was quite similar to when the Abandoned Sword Villa unified the Nine Netherworlds.
"No, Father can go down and greet them."
Shen Zhenyi was not interested in them. He would rather rest alone in the Dream Sword Villa.
Shen Shou smiled bitterly again.
Old Third's aura was becoming more and more imposing. He could see people like the Moon Worshipping Cave if he wanted to, and he couldn't. Everyone, including King Dalong Of Zhao, was very respectful when he mentioned the Third Young Master Shen, and did not dare to slight him in the slightest.
This was the status that came with strength.
If Shen Zhenyi hadn't defeated Dharma Master Ren's Three Talents and Four Symbols in one move, these formidable people wouldn't have been so polite to Shen Zhenyi.
It was just like how Old Third had defeated the joint attack of eight great experts in the Nine Serenities Lands, establishing his position as the one who stood by his word.
Unfortunately, the World of Eight Cultivators was not the Netherworld. Although Shen Zhenyi was strong, there was still a gap between him and the top of the world. He had to change his temper.
Shen Shou thought as he led Granny Chihuo out of the Dream Sword Villa and went to the main hall of the Abandoned Sword Villa to receive the guests.
It was bustling outside. It was similar to the Martial Arts Circle Convention in the past ten years before the Moon Decapitation.
It was just that Zen Master Liu Ru, Crazy Immortal, and the others, who were originally guests, could only sit in the periphery.
However, they adapted quickly to this environment and didn't mind the change in status. Zen Master Liu Ru often had a humble and flattering smile on his face.
Shen Shou felt helpless and went over to greet them. However, they seemed to be flattered and flattered Shen Shou and Granny Chi Huo.
Granny Chihuo came back and sighed to Shen Shou. "Ten years is enough to make these so-called grandmasters recognize reality. Fortunately, you gave birth to a good son. Fortunately, I made a prompt decision to merge with the Abandoned Sword Villa. Otherwise, wouldn't we have to live under the nose of others? "
In the Netherworld, these people were existences who stood at the peak of the world. But here, they were only doing their best to maintain their small sect so that it wouldn't lose its foundation.
"Revered Envoy Zhang is here! Revered Envoy Zhang is here! "
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. Someone hurriedly came to report that one of the eight envoys, Zhang Xiongwu, had appeared outside the Abandoned Sword Villa with the emperor's reward.
Shen Shou was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, I have to go and welcome him."
King Dalong Of Zhao and the others hurriedly said, "Villa Master Shen, please go ahead."
The eight envoys had a very high status and were directly subordinate to the royal family. Even the sects in this small place had to respect them. Fortunately, they didn't care much about the local affairs. The ten years of protection of the Abandoned Sword Villa had ended, so they had to return to the capital to report.
Before Shen Shou left, he asked someone to inform Shen Zhenyi to come and welcome him. However, the servant soon came back with a sad face and said that The Third Prince didn't want to come downstairs and asked the villa master to make the decision to welcome him.
"What arrogance!" Qiu Yinxuan gritted her teeth and sneered in a low voice. "He even dared to offend the eight envoys. Does he really think he's that great? After today, I'll make him regret it! "
Qiu Zhenjun also agreed. Shen Zhenyi was too arrogant. The bad temper he had developed in the Netherworld would eventually make him taste the consequences.
Shen Shou was also very embarrassed. It was too late for him to hurry, so he could only grit his teeth and lead Granny Chihuo and the others to the gate.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiongwu was standing in the air with a circle of people looking at him. When he saw them come out, he calmly landed and said with a smile, "Where is the Third Young Master Shen?"
Shen Shou braced himself and said, "My son is still practicing the sword in seclusion. He didn't know you were coming and didn't welcome you. Please forgive me."
Behind them, Qiu Yinxuan and the others secretly laughed. They thought that no matter what excuse they found, the eight envoys wouldn't be happy. As long as their expressions changed, the Abandoned Sword Villa would have to bear the consequences!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiongwu was only stunned for a moment before he laughed and said, "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. The Abandoned Sword Villa's ten-year ceremony was so grand, but he still focused on the sword path. It's only natural for him to have such achievements!"
He actually praised Shen Zhenyi without the slightest hint of blame or anger. Instead, he seemed to be appreciative and appreciative of him.
What was going on? Qiu Yinxuan was confused.
