The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 87 The Emperor Descends Upon the World

Although the voice was soft, everyone present heard it clearly.

The one speaking was Li Yuan, the sect leader of the Demon Maiden Sword Sect.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yuan.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Yuan slowly stood up, her expression calm, but deep within her phoenix eyes, there was a barely perceptible tension.

From his seat of honor, Ye Feng's gaze fell upon Li Yuan, his eyes deep and unfathomable, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

However, Ye Feng's expression made Li Yuan's heart tighten.

Once upon a time, Ye Feng was someone she could relentlessly hunt down as a protector. But now, a single glance from him is enough to make her tremble with fear.

"explain."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his voice undisturbed.

During my previous travels across the mainland, I visited the Great Li Dynasty. Although I didn't pay too much attention to the old grudges, I did learn about them along the way.

Therefore, although he had never met the sect leader of the Fiend Sword Sect, he was familiar with her aura fluctuations and knew her identity.

"I wonder if this is the item Lord Ye Feng is referring to?"

Facing Ye Feng's scrutinizing gaze, Li Yuan dared not be negligent. With a wave of her jade hand, a stream of light flew out from her sword ring and hovered in mid-air.

It was a strange jade stone, about the size of a fist, shaped like a deep sword, with a faint silvery-white luster. Fine sword patterns could be faintly seen on the surface of the jade stone, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.

As soon as this item appeared, the energy of the entire world suddenly surged, and for a moment, the sound of swords rang out throughout the heavens and earth.

"Mysterious Heavenly Sword Jade Marrow!"

Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at the sword-shaped jade stone floating in mid-air, his heart trembling.

The characteristics of this item are exactly the same as those of the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow described in the information transmitted by the spirit of the Li Huo Sword Stele, without any difference.

He never expected that the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow, which he had searched the entire Sword Continent for but could not find, would actually be in the hands of Li Yuan, a person who left a deep impression on him but whom he had never met.

"Wearing this item can accelerate the absorption of energy from heaven and earth and improve the speed of sword qi cultivation. It was obtained by the founder of my Sha Nu Sword Sect in an ancient ruin when the sect was established, and it has been passed down as the sect's treasure to this day."

"If Lord Ye Feng needs it, Li Yuan is willing to offer this item to atone for the offense committed by the sect's protector back then."

Li Yuan slightly raised her eyes, suppressing the tension and trepidation in her heart. She held the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow in both hands, bowed slightly, and presented it to Ye Feng.

Although many years have passed since then, the events of that year remain a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Fiend Sword Sect.

Today, Ye Feng, a powerful Sword Emperor, did not pursue the matter, which was his magnanimity, but she could not pretend that nothing had happened.

If this item can resolve old grudges and even forge a good relationship, it would be a rare opportunity for her and the entire Fiend Sword Sect.

She clearly understood the difference between an inanimate object and the opportunity to travel to the vast world.

Sitting in the main seat, Ye Feng's gaze fell on the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow, then glanced at Li Yuan, who was standing bowing. His deep black eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled slightly.

"As for what happened back then, Sect Leader Li was merely failing to discipline his subordinates properly, and afterwards he handled the matter impartially. There's no question of any grudge between us."

As he spoke, Ye Feng raised his hand and gestured, and the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow flew into his palm on its own.

The moment Ye Feng grasped the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow, he felt a warm and smooth sensation in his hand, and a pure and ancient wave emanated from it, resonating with the sword essence within his body.

As expected of an item that can accelerate sword energy cultivation, this item has played a crucial role in Li Yuan's ability to advance from the mid-stage of Sword King to the peak of Sword King in less than ten years.

The fact that he has brought out such a precious item shows his sincerity.

"That being said, my Fiendish Sword Sect did offend you in the first place, and I humbly request that you accept this item."

Li Yuan's expression was respectful, but her voice was still somewhat cautious.

Things are different now. Ye Feng is no longer the person who amazed Li Yuan with his talent. He now possesses the extraordinary strength to annihilate a Sword Emperor with a wave of his hand.

"Fine."

There's no need to bring up past grievances again.

Ye Feng put away the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow, his gaze falling on Li Yuan, and smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, and she felt much more relaxed. She bowed again.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Ye Feng."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"Your offering of this item is of great use to me. I can grant you one request: whether it is to travel to the vast world or any other request, you may speak freely."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's promise, Li Yuan was overjoyed, but she maintained a respectful demeanor on her face.

"It is my honor to share Lord Ye Feng's burdens. I dare not ask for any reward. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to follow you."

Having the opportunity to travel to the Great Thousand Worlds is certainly good, but having the opportunity to follow a powerful Sword Emperor is the true solution that will ensure a permanent solution, even if one goes to the Great Thousand Worlds, it will provide an extra layer of security.

As soon as she finished speaking, countless gazes across the entire square fell upon Li Yuan, each with its own distinct meaning.

Besides astonishment and admiration, there was also a hint of amusement in his gaze.

It is only natural that a Sword King at the peak of his cultivation would take the initiative to express his willingness to follow a Sword Emperor.

If it were them, they would have made the same choice.

However, under these conditions, coupled with Li Yuan's stunningly beautiful face, her aloof and dignified noble temperament, and the past grievances and entanglements between her and Ye Feng, these words take on a more intriguing meaning.

From the main seat, Su Qingxue and the other two women also focused their attention on Li Yuan.

"Hmph, shameless woman."

Su Qingxue's expression was cold, she cursed inwardly, and her slightly pursed red lips curled into a disdainful smile, clearly showing considerable hostility.

Jiang Zhenyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in her bright eyes, but she didn't seem to care too much.

Chen tide remained gentle, but her gaze shifted between Ye Feng and Li Yuan, as if she were curious about how Ye Feng would respond.

"This Li Yuan is truly decisive..."

Ye Feng looked at Li Yuan, who stood respectfully below, a scrutinizing glint in his eyes.

Li Yuan is decisive, shrewd, and knows how to assess situations; she is undeniably astute.

To follow him is to have the opportunity to travel to the world.

"I keep my word. Since you have this intention, then so be it."

Ye Feng nodded in agreement, then his gaze swept over the crowd. As his tone shifted, a vast and majestic aura emanated from his body, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

"On the Sword Continent, I, the Emperor, am able to break the seal of heaven and earth and allow the energy of the Great Thousand Worlds to enter. However, this energy flow will only last for a moment and will soon be blocked by the sealing array of this world."

"The only way to permanently resolve this issue is to pursue a realm above the Sword Emperor and leave this world. However, without the support of a powerful force, it will be difficult to establish a foothold in the Great Thousand World in the future."

"Therefore, I intend to rebuild a new power. You are all beings of this world. Those who are interested can set aside past grievances and join me!"
