Chapter 387: The Yi Family’s Anger, the Hesitation and Conflict of the Wan Jing God Emperor

"What? You mean the Domain Lord has gone to the Xue Lang Realm to pay a visit to that Senior?"

Inside the Yi Family, the Second Elder's face was filled with shock upon hearing his subordinate's report.

The subordinate knelt on one knee and said with a serious expression.

"That is correct. According to intelligence, the Domain Lord appeared in the Xue Lang Realm and met that Senior with an extremely respectful demeanor, and that Senior even granted the Domain Lord an audience."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Second Elder and the various high-ranking members of the Yi Family present turned ugly. If the Domain Lord chose to visit Wu Hao, did that mean that in the Domain Lord's heart, Wu Hao's strength was likely above that of God-Emperor Jing Rang?

Thinking of this, the Second Elder's complexion turned grim, and he hurriedly said.

"Quickly, gather the members of our Yi Family. Have them leave the Jingran Domain first, and tell them to return only after they receive word from me."

"Second Elder, is it necessary to go this far? Could this person be even more terrifying than God-Emperor Jing Rang?"

A Heavenly God asked with some confusion.

The Second Elder shook his head.

"There's no time to explain. I am just taking safety precautions. If this person is not as strong as God-Emperor Jing Rang, then that would naturally be for the best."

"But if this person is even more powerful than God-Emperor Jing Rang, then this will be a contingency plan for our Yi Family. Given the current situation, since our Yi Family Patriarch died at his hands, it is hard to guarantee that he won't cut weeds and eliminate the roots."

"So, follow my orders as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing the Second Elder's words, everyone present understood the importance of the matter. After nodding in agreement, they quickly went to gather the tribesmen.

On the other side, in the Xue Lang Realm, looking at Wu Hao before him, the Wan Jing God Emperor had originally thought he was prepared, but he did not expect that the moment he saw Wu Hao, all his preparations collapsed.

The moment he saw Wu Hao, although Wu Hao did not deliberately release his aura, it still made the Wan Jing God Emperor feel a pressure like a great mountain, and his expression became extremely solemn.

After a long while, Wu Hao spoke first.

"So, Domain Lord, is there something you need from me?"

"Senior, you joke. Just call me Wan Jing."

The Wan Jing God Emperor dared not let Wu Hao call him "Lord". He hurriedly spoke, for some Seniors were capricious. If he really accepted his status following Wu Hao's words, he feared he might be slapped to death by Wu Hao the very next second.

Wu Hao naturally would not make things difficult for the Wan Jing God Emperor. His expression was calm, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued to speak.

"So, Wan Jing, is there something you need from me?"

Upon hearing this, the Wan Jing God Emperor's expression immediately turned solemn. Without hesitation, he spoke directly.

"Senior, you may not know this, but God-Emperor Jing Rang is a being at the God Sovereign Peak. His strength is even greater than that of an ordinary Half-Step Divine Venerable. Therefore, you must be careful when facing God-Emperor Jing Rang."

"Oh? Why are you brazenly telling me the bottom line of God-Emperor Jing Rang? Are you not afraid of retaliation from God-Emperor Jing Rang?"

Wu Hao looked at the Wan Jing God Emperor with a smile that was not quite a smile. This gave the Wan Jing God Emperor an absurd feeling: that the Wu Hao before him had peered through all his thoughts.

The moment this thought arose, the Wan Jing God Emperor was shocked by his own idea. One had to know that he was a God Emperor; even a great Divine Venerable expert wouldn't dare claim to know his inner thoughts directly.

Thinking of this, the Wan Jing God Emperor glanced at Wu Hao, his heart conflicted. But he quickly made up his mind. Lying in front of such a Senior was not a good thing, and sometimes, sincerity was the ultimate trump card.

"Senior, you joke. After all, in my eyes, your strength is greater than that of God-Emperor Jing Rang. God-Emperor Jing Rang is likely no match for you. Since God-Emperor Jing Rang is not your match, how could he possibly retaliate against me?"

The Wan Jing God Emperor said with a chuckle.

Wu Hao was somewhat satisfied. This Wan Jing God Emperor was truly accurate in judging people; he happened to be lacking such a subordinate.

Thinking of this, Wu Hao set down his teacup, looked at the Wan Jing God Emperor, and said with a serious expression.

"I am traveling through the Divine Realm, and currently, I am lacking some subordinates. I wonder if you are willing to become my subordinate?"

Upon hearing this, the Wan Jing God Emperor was stunned at first, but soon his expression became conflicted. He did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him.

After all, if he were to become Wu Hao's subordinate, he feared that from here on out, his life and death would no longer be determined by himself.

At this moment, Wu Hao continued.

"If you wish to become my subordinate, you must swear a great dao oath that you will never betray me for all eternity. I can give you one day to consider it. If you decide to do so, you can come back to the Xue Lang Realm to find me."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent the Wan Jing God Emperor back to the Domain Lord Realm. The opportunity had already been given to the Wan Jing God Emperor; as for whether he could grasp it, that would depend on the Wan Jing God Emperor himself.

He was lacking subordinates, but it was not as if he absolutely needed the Wan Jing God Emperor.

In the time it took for the Wan Jing God Emperor to be stunned, he had already been sent back to the Domain Lord Realm by Wu Hao. Seeing this feat displayed by Wu Hao, the Wan Jing God Emperor's pupils constricted. He knew in his heart that Wu Hao's strength was definitely not that of a God Emperor.

"Divine Venerable. Senior's strength is at least that of a Divine Venerable; otherwise, it would be impossible to send me back to the Domain Lord Realm without me noticing at all."

The Wan Jing God Emperor thought, feeling incomparably shocked, and at the same time, his heart became increasingly conflicted.

Although he had confirmed that Wu Hao's cultivation was at least at the Divine Venerable level, even so, he could not make up his mind to pledge loyalty to Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao had said that to become his subordinate, one must swear a great dao oath never to betray him.

And what was a great dao oath? It was a terrifying existence to countless gods. Unless one was a God Emperor, one would be constrained by the great dao oath. Even a God-Venerable Peak expert would face certain death if they violated the great dao oath.

Just then, the Vice Domain Lord came before the Wan Jing God Emperor. Sensing the Wan Jing God Emperor's conflicted emotions, he spoke up.

"Domain Lord, what is the matter?"

"Tian Dao, what kind of person do you think I am?"

The Wan Jing God Emperor did not turn around, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

The Tian Dao Divine King was stunned upon hearing this, but quickly said with a serious expression.

"Domain Lord, in my heart, you are a supreme person, selfless, gifted with innate talents, and extremely decisive in your actions. I believe that under your leadership, our Jingran Domain will definitely develop to a brand new height."

Upon hearing the Tian Dao Divine King's words, the Wan Jing God Emperor felt a wave of emotion. He then turned to look at the Tian Dao Divine King and said with a complex expression.

"No. In fact, I am not a qualified Domain Lord."
