After leaving the Mystic Realm, Ye Tianze and Lan Yuheng bumped into Zhao Mingli. He had been waiting for them for a long time with a cold expression on his face.
"Don't you know that you are being disrespectful to His Majesty the Human Sovereign by leaving the Angel hanging?" Zhao Mingli said with a cold expression.
After Lan Yuheng left, Ye Tianze said, "I've already met with your little brother and learned about the bestowment."
"You met with Zhao Mingcong?" Zhao Mingli's expression was still tense. "What did he say?"
"He said that you are very sensible." Ye Tianze patted his shoulder and said, "From now on, you are one of us."
"One of us!" Zhao Mingli shook off his hand with a cold expression and said, "I am very honored. You went to meet the Angel first. After that, I have something to ask you."
The two of them arrived at the God Bestowment Temple. Zhao Mingli revealed a smile and said, "Lord Angel, this is the Southern Sky Territory Lord, Ye Tianze."
The Angel sat in the main seat and sized up Ye Tianze. He said coldly, "You are indeed a young hero. You even dare to ignore His Majesty the Human Sovereign's decree!"
"I wouldn't dare." Ye Tianze smiled slightly.
"Ye Tianze, receive the decree." The Angel opened the decree and read it out loud.
The general content was to reward Ye Tianze for his great merit and confer Ye Tianze the title of Southern Subjugation King. He was also bestowed with the imperial seal as a sign of recognition.
"Is there no other reward?" Ye Tianze was a little unhappy after hearing this.
Although Zhu Que did not receive a title, she received a lot of resources and various pills, which made Ye Tianze envious.
When it came to him, all he got was a title, and a few words of encouragement. How could he accept that? It was better to give him a dozen divine pills than a lousy title.
As expected, the angel's expression immediately changed. "What do you mean? Is it not enough that His Majesty bestowed you the title of King?"
Zhao Mingli immediately reacted and said with a smile, "That's not what the South Vanquishing Prince meant. He thought that His Majesty had other rewards."
"That's exactly what I meant." Ye Tianze directly said, "What's the use of being a King? It can't change the situation in the Southern Territory, and it can't increase my cultivation. It also can't benefit the people of South Sky City. If possible, I would rather use this title to exchange for … … various resources."
The angel originally had an extremely bad impression of Ye Tianze because of his neglect. Suddenly being refuted like this, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Ye Tianze, don't think that you can be lawless just because you've made a great contribution. His Majesty the Human Emperor bestowing you a reward is your honor. You can accept it if you're happy, or not. You actually said such absurd words. I think you're tired of living!"
The angel's face was cold.
Without waiting for him to continue, Zhao Mingli hurriedly smoothed things over. "Lord Angel, please don't blame him. Although he's brave and has made a great contribution, but he's still a child. You must not lower yourself to his level … …"
As he spoke, Zhao Mingli stuffed a storage ring into the angel's hands, saying, "Sir Angel, you must be tired from the long journey. This is a small token of appreciation from the South Vanquishing Prince. You must accept it. For the sake of my Zhao Clan, please don't bicker with this little brat."
The angel's face immediately became pleasant. He took the storage ring and said, "Okay, I'll take it that he's still a child. Why don't you accept the decree?"
Ye Tianze immediately took the decree. Without looking at it, he casually threw it into the universe ring and said, "Lord Angel, if there's nothing else, we won't keep you for dinner."
"You!!!" The angel, who had just recovered, was so angry that he was smoking. He said angrily, "Little bastard, how can there be such an ungrateful person like you in this world? You … …"
This time, Zhao Mingli's persuasion was useless. He pointed at Ye Tianze.
"I'm sympathizing with you, Lord Angel. You're tired from the journey. Moreover, aren't you going to rush back to the Dragon Reining Realm and report to His Majesty the Human Emperor?" Ye Tianze said.
"Little bastard, remember this!" The angel flicked his sleeves and turned to leave the temple.
"Lord Angel, Lord Angel, don't go. Don't lower yourself to his level. It's fine if you want to leave. I'll see you off. No, no, I must see you off. I must see you off …" Zhao Mingli hurriedly chased after him.
Ye Tianze went to sit in the main seat. He didn't even intend to take a look.
After a long time, Zhao Mingli returned. He said with a cold face, "You're usually not such an insensible person. Today, you've eaten gunpowder. He has no grudge against you …"
Before he finished, Zhao Mingli suddenly understood. He said, "He has a grudge against you?"
"He's a member of the Tool Refining Sect, and I have the supreme treasure of the Tool Refining Sect, the Immemorial Umbrella." As Ye Tianze spoke, he took out the Immemorial Umbrella that he had refined.
Zhao Mingli's eyes lit up when he saw it. Of course, he knew about the Immemorial Umbrella because he was also present at the private auction.
It was just that he didn't expect that the Jade Slips of the Immemorial Umbrella would fall into Ye Tianze's hands and be refined by him.
"This is … a primary immortal artifact!" Zhao Mingli said, "It seems that it can be upgraded to a primary immortal artifact!"
Ye Tianze put away the Immemorial Umbrella and said, "Your brother Zhao Mingcong told me that this elder of the Tool Refining Sect came for the Immemorial Umbrella, and I absolutely can't give it to him. So, sooner or later, we'll have a falling out. Since it's going to happen sooner or later, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. It'll save my South Sky City some resources."
Zhao Mingli was a little speechless. He said, "When he comes to his senses, he'll come back."
"But when he comes back, he won't be an angel anymore." Ye Tianze said with a smile.
"Boy … you're really cunning!" Zhao Mingli gave him a thumbs-up. "But the Tool Refining Sect won't let this go. I think you'd better return the Jade Slips to the Tool Refining Sect first and then hide this weapon as a trump card. Otherwise …"
"I can't hide it anymore. I already used this weapon when I destroyed the Dutian Clan. I'm afraid that the whole Southern Territory now knows that I have the Immemorial Umbrella." Ye Tianze said.
"What did you say?!!!" Zhao Mingli's expression changed drastically. "You destroyed the Dutian Clan?"
"That's right!" Ye Tianze immediately recounted the whole process of him destroying the Dutian Clan.
Zhao Mingli was dumbfounded. "You're crazy. You're really crazy. Destroying a titled clan is a slap to the face of the Human Emperor. Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Judging from the fact that His Majesty the Human Emperor conferred me the title of King of South Vanquishing, he still needs me, so … nothing will happen for the time being. Besides, all the major forces have shared the blame with me. If the Human Emperor wants to blame someone, he can't punish all the major forces in the Southern Territory!"
Ye Tianze said.
"That's easy for you to say. But you've killed your own father and ancestors, and even let Vermilion Bird kill the entire direct line of descent of Dutian Clan. That's intolerable. Even the spittle of every single human could drown you. You can do that secretly, but you can't do it openly!"
Zhao Mingli said. "You're in power now, so others won't dare to do anything to you. But once you lose power, you'll be trampled by thousands of people, and you'll never be able to make a comeback!"
"Then don't lose power!" Ye Tianze said. "Let them … fear you forever."
"You!!! You're hopeless. "Zhao Mingli felt that he was blind. How could he have met such an idiot?
"Alright, alright. What's done is done. What else can we do? Why don't we think about how to get all the territories of the Dutian Clan?"
Ye Tianze said. "You're now the chief steward of South Sky City. You have to give me some good ideas."
