"Made a Marquis! Lord Lin has become the Demon-Buster Marquis, and he even has a fief! "
"Although it's just a town, it's enough to protect his descendants for hundreds of generations! Lord Lin is really a role model for our generation! "
"Lord Lin being made a Marquis is indeed a good thing. But why is Lord Lin being made a Marquis immediately? The war with the alien tribes has just begun. Lord Lin is one of the elders of the Alliance. How can he leave now? "
"That's right! The war has just begun. Who knows, maybe Lord Lin will have a chance to be made a Marquis in the future. Why is he being made a Marquis immediately? "
Thousands of martial artists discussed animatedly. They were all envious of Lin Xuan being made a Marquis.
However, some of the more observant people also felt that the Crown Prince's decree was unusual.
Yan Hui, Jing Wushang, Shui Qianxun, Ji Wenfeng, Dun Fei, Jing Lan, and the others couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan worriedly. They were secretly worried for Lin Xuan.
For ordinary people, this decree might be a blessing accumulated from eight lifetimes, a great grace from the royal family.
But to Lin Xuan, this was a death sentence, an invitation from the King of Hell.
As for Di Ying, Gu Xinghun, Chu Tianshuo, Yin Qi, and the others, who were further away, they also noticed the situation. They all sneered and gloated.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's expression was calm. He was neither happy nor sad, but his eyes were slightly cold.
Others might not understand, but how could he not know? It was obvious that the Keelung Sect was having a hard time dealing with him in the Northern Wilderness. They wanted to get him back to the mainland first!
Even if he didn't want to be made a Marquis, his influence would be greatly reduced, and he wouldn't be able to lead the group legitimately. It was truly sinister and despicable.
His eyes flashed, and he sneered inwardly. You want to use these little tricks to deal with me? You're underestimating me, Lin Xuan!
"Lin Xuan, Demon-Buster Marquis! Accept the decree! "
Wu Wenxuan raised his chin slightly and looked at Lin Xuan sinisterly. There was a faint sneer on his lips and he was extremely pleased.
As a trusted aide of the Crown Prince, he naturally understood the killing intent contained in this decree. As long as Lin Xuan left the North Barren, he would be finished in a few days.
If Lin Xuan dared to defy the decree, then today, in front of everyone, he would label Lin Xuan as a traitor and call upon all the martial artists in the world to punish him!
This was also the reason why he and Tie Wuya were willing to announce the Crown Prince's decree when countless martial practitioners were gathered in Heavenly Cauldron City.
Lin Xuan did not accept the edict. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Eunuch, are you sure you're not mistaken? As one of the founding members of the Heavenly Cauldron City Alliance, I shoulder the great responsibility of leading the martial arts world to fight against the Dragons clan. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to leave the battlefield at this time and live a peaceful life in the inland! "
"Humph! The Crown Prince's decree is written clearly. Could it be that you want to disobey the decree? "
Wu Wenxuan hollered coldly.
"Oh, alright."
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then stepped forward to receive the Xuan Artifact imperial decree.
He opened it and took a look. The imperial court was really too extravagant. Even the imperial decree was a Xuan Artifact. How rich!
The contents of the imperial decree were exactly the same as what Wu Wenxuan had read out.
Lin Xuan pretended to look at it, but his hands secretly released traces of the power of creation, altering the contents of the imperial decree.
What was creation?
Creation was one of the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth. The reason why it was above all other Daos was because it could create something out of nothing, create everything, and change everything.
By now, Lin Xuan had long understood that if he had enough power of creation in his body, he could even create anything, including divine weapons.
Of course, creating something out of nothing required a shocking amount of power of creation. It was not something he could bear.
He had once tried to use the power of creation to form a golden needle, but he had used up a lot of it.
This also made him understand that he could not become the creator.
However, just changing the contents of the imperial decree would consume a lot of power of creation, but he could bear it, and it was worth it.
Seeing that Lin Xuan had taken the imperial decree, Wu Wenxuan immediately urged in a deep voice, "Demon-Buster Marquis, since you have accepted the imperial decree, please return to the imperial capital with us. After you thank the Emperor, you can go to your fief!"
Yan Hui stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Eunuch, my Sect Master is very busy right now. I'm afraid he can't go to the imperial capital immediately to thank the Emperor. Please give him some time to prepare …"
Wu Wenxuan snorted in disdain, "Hmph! What kind of big deal could a mere Sect Master have? If he can't go to the imperial capital to thank the Emperor, he will be looking down on the Crown Prince's authority and the imperial court's laws! Lin Xuan, are you sure you want to do this? "
However, in the next moment, Lin Xuan shouted in shock, "Ah! Eunuch, how can you lie through your teeth? The Crown Prince's decree clearly does not match what you said! "
"How can this be? I am not illiterate. How can I be wrong? Lin Xuan, are you really going to defy the Crown Prince's decree? "
Wu Wenxuan's expression changed as he shouted angrily.
Lin Xuan smiled coldly and said, "This is not me, Lin Xuan, disobeying the Crown Prince's decree. You have an ulterior motive! Men, let everyone know the contents of the imperial decree! "
"Yes, Sir!"
Yan Hui stepped forward to take the imperial decree. He had thought that Lin Xuan was just putting on a show. However, when he inadvertently saw the contents, his expression changed drastically. A look of deep shock flashed across his eyes.
Then, he laughed loudly and raised the imperial decree to pass it around to everyone.
"Everyone, take a look. What is the content of this imperial decree? This damned eunuch is lying through his teeth. The imperial court gave our Sect Master a fief of a city, but he said it was a town! Our Sect Master was conferred the title of Northern Marquis, but he said it was the Demon-Buster Marquis. What a joke! I didn't expect the imperial court to send an illiterate eunuch to deliver the decree! "
"Hey! It's true! This imperial decree is clearly different! "
"Hahaha! This is too funny! The Crown Prince actually sent an illiterate person to deliver the decree! I will live with this joke for the rest of my life. Hahaha! Let me laugh for a while more! "
Those gathered below the General Appointing Stage were all martial artists. None of them were mediocre. All of them had amazing eyesight. Even from a few hundred meters away, they could clearly see the contents of the imperial decree.
At this moment, many people had already seen that the imperial decree clearly conferred the title of Northern Marquis to Lin Xuan, and his fief was Wanhua City in Summer Province. Due to the special period of the war, he was specially allowed to not go to the Imperial Capital to express his gratitude. He only needed to go to Wanhua City a few days before the conferment. In addition, Lin Xuan was also ordered to unify the martial arts world of Northern Wilderness and fight against the Mutated Tribes together. It was hoped that he would make new contributions.
The imperial decree was filled with earnest expectations and encouragement for Lin Xuan. It was completely different from what Wu Wenxuan had read!
As for the suspicion that Lin Xuan had tampered with the imperial decree, that was simply a joke. The imperial decree was made up of Xuan weapon inscriptions. Why don't you try changing it?
However, because of the angle, Wu Wenxuan, Tie Wuya, and the rest didn't see the contents of the imperial decree after it was tampered with. They only thought that some of the Magic Lotus Sect members around them were making a fuss and didn't take it seriously.
