Chen Luoyang and Fu Sang Island Lord Tian Tianhai looked calm. After entering the hall, one sat in the host's seat and the other sat in the guest's seat.
The people from Blackwater Extreme Palace who were in charge of receiving guests were not surprised. They quickly took care of the demonic leaders.
Seeing this, everyone was sure that Fu Sang Island Lord Tian Tianhai was not here to cause trouble, but to come to congratulate them.
"Demon Emperor, Fu Sang Island Lord." Everyone immediately bowed to Chen Luoyang and Tian Tianhai.
"Everyone has come from afar. I am grateful for your hospitality. Welcome, welcome." Chen Luoyang looked around the hall and gestured for everyone to rise.
Fu Sang Island Lord did not speak. He nodded calmly in return.
Everyone sat down again with different emotions.
To a certain extent, the change in Fusang Island was reasonable.
It was fine that Blackwater Extreme Palace did not have a leader, but Chen Luoyang had conquered Yan Ran Mountain.
If he could challenge Yan Ran Mountain, he could also challenge Fu Sang Island.
Although Fu Sang Island had been keeping a low profile these days, no one would ignore this sacred ground.
What they did next was closely related to the battle between the Demon Lord and Young Master Tian.
Fu Sang Island's relationship with Xihe Realm was not as close as West Paradise and Saha Realm, or Green Bull Temple and Qingwei Realm. Fu Sang Island Lord might not be willing to let Young Master Tian and Xihe Realm invade the mortal world.
However, Chen Luoyang had their blood and lives on his hands, as well as all sorts of treasures that made people drool. The two sides had many conflicts.
Now that Chen Luoyang had swept through the Black Water Extreme Palace and Yan Ran Mountain, showing the momentum of unifying the Demonic Dao, his next target was likely Fu Sang Island.
Fusang Island must have realized this as well.
Although they were keeping a low profile, they had been paying attention to the changes on land.
Cheng Shuzhi, Yu Shanming, Cheng Jinjun, and the others did not know if there was a heated debate in Fu Sang Island, but it seemed that they had made their choice.
But a slight change could affect the rest. Fu Sang Island's decision had a profound impact on the other families in the mortal world.
Although there was no change in their expressions, many people were worried.
The Seven Holy Lands of Diabolism, Blood River, Bitter Sea, Yanran Mountain, Ancient God, Blackwater Extreme Palace, Fusang Island, and Azure Dragon Island.
Now, the three families were directly under the control of Chen Luoyang, and the three families were leaning towards him.
The last one remaining, Blood River, had long since withdrawn from the mortal world and lived in seclusion in the Blood Sea to lick his wounds.
All that was left was the Wilderness.
More importantly, once the Demonic Path was gradually integrated by Chen Luoyang, would his gaze shift towards the Righteous Path?
While everyone was pondering, they suddenly heard Chen Luoyang's voice.
"… In a month's time, I will head to Anyuan City to spar with Emperor Chu. When Mister Cheng returns, please pass my message to him."
The hall instantly fell silent.
Anyuan City was the imperial capital of the Southern Chu Dynasty.
After Chen Luoyang defeated Yan Ran Mountain Chieftain Han Shang, he immediately challenged another powerhouse.
Cheng Jinjun, the King of Cloud Capital of Southern Chu, felt his heart sink to the bottom.
From the moment he saw Fusang Island Chieftain appear, he had an extremely bad premonition.
If Chen Luoyang did not stop, he would most likely challenge Fusang Island, the Southern Chu Dynasty, and the Wilderness.
All of them had old grudges with him, and at the same time, lacked reinforcements.
Fusang disregarded their previous grudges and took the initiative to express goodwill. They might even cut their own flesh. Now, they had obviously temporarily dispelled Chen Luoyang's enmity.
That left only the Southern Chu Dynasty and the Wilderness.
In the end, Chen Luoyang chose Southern Chu.
"Demon Emperor, His Majesty is in seclusion and might not be able to receive you." Cheng Jinjun braced himself and said, "Our dynasty had some misunderstandings with you in the past. Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he said that he wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with you and turn hostility into friendship."
Chen Luoyang did not care. "It's fine. You have a month to inform him to come out of seclusion. As for other matters, I will discuss them with him face to face."
Before Cheng Jinjun could say anything, Chen Luoyang had already turned to look at Fusang Island Chieftain. "Tian Island Chieftain, if you have time, why don't you go to Anyuan City with me and be a witness for me and Emperor Chu?"
Fusang Island Chieftain looked deeply at Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang's expression was calm.
"It would be my honor." Island Chieftain nodded.
Cheng Jinjun took a deep breath and was speechless for a while. After a long while, he answered bitterly, "I understand. I will bring the letter of challenge."
His expression was awkward, but he had already calmed down.
Observing the silent crowd, Cheng Jinjun felt that Chen Luoyang had made a stupid move.
The Southern Chu Dynasty did not have good relations with the Secular World, but Emperor Chu Cheng Hui was still listed among the top ten experts of the Righteous Path, not the Demonic Path.
The Demonic Path had just vaguely shown signs of unification, and Chen Luoyang immediately pointed the spearhead at the Righteous Path, his ambition to swallow the entire Secular World was clear.
Such an obvious appetite would naturally make others vigilant.
Even Azure Dragon Island, Misery Sea, and Fusang Island, who were on the same side as him, would probably feel uncomfortable.
The Dongzhou Dynasty and other forces, who had reached a tacit agreement to not interfere with each other for the time being, would probably become nervous again.
In the end, this young man surnamed Chen had advanced too fast and too big recently. He was simply too complacent.
Originally, he had defeated the two Holy Lands consecutively and forced Fusang Island to lower its head. It could already be said to be an absolute victory.
Next, he would slowly accumulate strength again and divide the remaining people in the Secular World.
But now he was about to fight Southern Chu again, showing a posture of sweeping through the Secular World. It was too unsightly.
He did not have the ability of Heavenly Demon Ye, but like him, he had become the target of public criticism.
Everyone was afraid of the Supreme Martial Artist, but Chen Luoyang was simply provoking them, forcing everyone to unite against him.
Everyone present had different thoughts.
The ensuing ascension ceremony was grand and magnificent, but everyone's thoughts were no longer on the ceremony itself. Instead, they were all focused on the next move of the host of the ceremony.
Southern Chu's Cloud Capital King Cheng Jinjun immediately ordered people to send the news back to the imperial capital, Anyuan.
He himself, on the other hand, quieted down and behaved himself.
Next, he did not need to communicate with Cheng Shuzhi, Yuan Crazy Demon Monk, Yu Shanming, and the other representatives here. When the Southern Chu imperial capital received the news, they would naturally contact the other Holy Lands and dynasties.
As expected, the atmosphere in Anyuan City became tense.
"It's fine if you don't move, but once you do, it's like a chain of thunderbolts, like a thunderbolt."
Slowly, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance said.
The Southern Chu imperial court's Grand General of White Cavalry, Zhang Tong, looked like an erudite scholar rather than a veteran general.
This number one expert of Southern Chu outside of the imperial family was still speaking slowly.
Some of the Southern Chu experts beside him were somewhat flustered and exasperated. "Nurturing a tiger is inviting calamity. That young tiger of the Ancient God is really going to eat people today!"
Another person laughed and said, "I don't think so. That Chen Luoyang is still a young man after all. He's a little carried away by his success, and his mind is muddled by a series of victories. He really thinks he's a supreme being. If he challenges our Great Chu now, it will only make everyone wary and push others to our side. We won't have to fight alone like Yan Ranshan."
A voice beside him poured cold water on him. "Don't be too happy too early."
As he spoke, the other person pointed up. "Right now, we can basically confirm that the one above Chen Luoyang is that person. If we really do make a move, how many people won't be afraid?
It's fine if it's a one-on-one fight, but if it's a group attack, who can guarantee that there won't be a thunderbolt?
Unless that Chen Luoyang also breaks through to the realm of Revered Martial Artist, like Heavenly Demon Ye, only then will the various heavyweights have less to worry about.
However, Chen Luoyang still has the legendary Emperor Xi's Ancient Formation, not to mention that he was able to kill Lord Fuyao without relying on the formation … "
The person who spoke earlier shook his head. "Times have changed. Chen Luoyang is too unbridled and arrogant. If this continues, Misery Sea and Azure Dragon Island won't submit to him. Although the supreme being is high and mighty, he can't be bothered with worldly affairs. He gave everyone a lot of freedom, but now someone wants to be everyone's emperor emeritus."
He looked around. "People like Abbot Fa Kong, Azure Dragon Island Master, and Fusang Island Master have been free and unfettered for so many years. How can they tolerate this?"
"It's hard to say if Chen Luoyang is getting carried away by his success, but before this, he was very calm." Great General Zhang Tong sighed.
He looked at the crowd and shook his head. "After breaking through the Black Water Extreme Palace, he chose Yan Ranshan as his second target and not our Great Chu. This shows that he has a clear vision."
At that time, before the unification of the Demonic Path, the Ancient God attacking the Southern Chu Dynasty wouldn't be so taboo because the two sides had been enemies for many years.
Moreover, Emperor Chu was in seclusion and couldn't be on the alert like Yan Ran Mountain Chieftain, so he was undoubtedly a better opponent.
But when attacking Southern Chu, it was possible that Mountain Chieftain Yan Ran would suddenly lend a helping hand.
When attacking Yan Ran Mountain, Emperor Chu would be in seclusion.
Now that Yan Ran Mountain Chieftain Han Shang had died, and Fusang Island Master had taken the initiative to express his goodwill, there would be fewer constraints to provoke Southern Chu.
"As for now, he treats Fusang Island well, which also stabilizes Azure Dragon Island and Misery Sea. It won't be as easy for us to find a helper. To be honest, there aren't many people in the worldly affairs who can restrain Chen Luoyang," Zhang Tong said. "Moreover, they may not be of one mind."
"No matter what, let's ask His Majesty to come out of seclusion first." The Old Prince Cheng Jiongting, who seemed to be dozing off, suddenly said, "We still need him to make the decision in the current situation."
Everyone nodded with solemn expressions.
Asking Emperor Chu to come out of seclusion ahead of time could be a big or small matter.
The upper echelons of Southern Chu were clear that their boss was in death seclusion. If he was disturbed, it wouldn't affect him much. Only his previous efforts in seclusion would be wasted, but he might also be injured.
The injury could be minor, but it could also be serious. If the injury was serious, it would be equivalent to losing without a fight.
However, the current situation didn't allow them to hesitate. Even if they had to take the risk, they had to grit their teeth and accept it.
Chen Luoyang didn't rely on Emperor Xi's Ancient Formation to defeat the "Lord of Fuyao" Han Shang!
Moreover, because of the matter of Jiang Yi, Ji Tianqiong, and the Temple Master, everyone was a little flustered.
Outside the place where Emperor Chu was in seclusion, led by Cheng Jiongting and Zhang Tong, everyone knocked on the door.
The cave was wide open.
After a short while, a voice came from inside, "What disturbed my seclusion?"
