The Nine Emperors returned, shocking all living beings.

However, after Jun Changxiao made his glamorous entrance and struck a pose while delivering his speech, that solemn atmosphere was instantly shattered, and the entire world fell silent.

The several Martial Emperors were strangers to the martial artists of Xingyun Continent, since those who had seen them were all veterans, but this Eternal Sect Master who had insanely advertised during the Dragon-Tiger Championship back then left them with deep impressions!

This was a devil.

This was a shameless scoundrel!

What did he say? He brought the Martial Emperors back?

“Bah!”

“He~tui!”

After a brief silence, martial artists across the entire continent spat in unison. If Jun Changxiao weren’t so far away and so high up, rotten cabbage and stinking eggs would have already been flying up.

“Hateful fellow!”

“He’s actually standing higher than the Nine Great Martial Emperors—is he trying to rebel!”

The hardcore fans of the Nine Great Martial Emperors glared furiously, because in their hearts, the former were supreme and could not tolerate others’ blasphemy.

“Get down! Get down!”

Everyone roared in unison, their voices reverberating through the firmament.

“…”

Not receiving flowers and applause was one thing, but instead receiving everyone’s curses left Jun Changxiao completely devastated.

“Can’t blame them.”

The system said: “It’s mainly because the host is too showy. I can’t help but want to curse a few times myself.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s mood worsened even more.

“Sect Master Jun!”

Just then, the Spirit Emperor cupped his hands and said: “Thanks to your assistance this time, we nine were able to see the light again. This great kindness and virtue, this Du will forever remember in his heart!”

His voice carried Imperial Pressure, spreading across the firmament and earth.

The fans who had been clamoring for Jun Changxiao to get down suddenly showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Their absolute idol, one of the Nine Great Martial Emperors, the Spirit Emperor, was actually speaking to that guy in such a polite tone?

They only heard the politeness but didn’t see the respectful expression on his face.

“Sect Master Jun!”

The other eight Emperors cupped their hands: “Great kindness needs no words of thanks!”

One Martial Emperor expressing thanks wasn’t much, but nine Martial Emperors all turning around, giving thanks in unison with polite and respectful tones—the scene presented before the world’s eyes was quite shocking!

“Snap!”

Within the Eternal Sect, Li Shangtian raised his modified camera, found the right angle, and pressed the shutter, capturing the moment of the Nine Emperors bowing in thanks to the Sect Master.

From this day forth, in the sect’s Image Pavilion, there would be framed a world-shocking photograph that could be used to show off and boast for a long time.

…

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission [Shock the Universe], rewarded 50,000 contribution points!”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 90,000/100,000 points.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Xingyun Continent’s highest shock series hidden mission, obtaining the supreme reward, Sect Function Upgrade ×1, Words Into Reality ×1, already delivered to the spatial ring.”

As the Nine Great Martial Emperors publicly expressed their thanks under everyone’s gaze, causing all beings to be shaken, a series of notification sounds rang out.

Sect Function Upgrade—Jun Changxiao understood this.

But what the hell was Words Into Reality?

“Whoosh!”

Merging consciousness into his spatial ring, he discovered that the so-called ‘Words Into Reality’ was actually a conch shell.

“What the heck?”

Jun Changxiao reached out to grab it.

However, upon touching it, strange memories instantly flooded into his consciousness sea, making him involuntarily blurt out: “Holy crap!”

The memories that appeared out of nowhere detailed the usage method of Words Into Reality. One only needed to pick it up, place it by their mouth, call out the name of someone related to them along with a reason, and it would elevate that person by one major realm, with the upper limit being Martial Saint!

Jun Changxiao, lacking culture, said again: “Holy crap crap!”

Martial Master Pills and Martial King Pills, though somewhat mystical, still somewhat followed pharmaceutical principles, but this kind of supreme treasure like Words Into Reality, which directly elevated realms with just a sentence, simply violated science and natural laws!

“Nothing strange about it.”

The system said indifferently: “The Strongest Sect System itself transcends the Heavenly Dao. As long as the host becomes stronger and stronger, as long as the system becomes more and more advanced, the rewards and purchasable goods will always be beyond imagination.”

“Tch.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Not like when buying incomplete scrolls failed.”

“Big bro!”

The system roared: “Can you stop bringing up past matters!”

“I just can’t stand you being smug!”

“Come on, come hit me, come mutually harm each other!”

“Damn! You think I don’t dare?”

Thus, Jun Changxiao placed both hands on his own neck, choking until his face turned red and flushed, choking until his breathing nearly stopped.

The Nine Great Martial Emperors: “…”

Xingyun Continent martial artists: “…”

This scene of fighting with himself was simply too showy.

…

The Nine Great Martial Emperors returned gloriously, but the one who definitely stole the show was Jun Changxiao, because the former were viewed as idols by all beings, yet they bowed and thanked him publicly.

Without a doubt.

For the next period of time.

The matter of the Nine Great Martial Emperors bowing in thanks to Gou Sheng in the sky would become the hottest topic of discussion.

Of course.

Many people were very puzzled.

What trouble had the Nine Great Martial Emperors, who had disappeared for so long, encountered, and why were they rescued by Jun Changxiao?

These various mysteries were destined not to be solved.

Because being imprisoned in the Starry Fortress prison was truly disgraceful, the Spirit Emperor and the others definitely wouldn’t voluntarily speak of it.

Moreover, having been imprisoned for too long, the Nine Great Martial Emperors all had some internal injuries, so after thanking Jun Changxiao, they chose to enter closed-door cultivation. Even if everyone mustered the courage to inquire, it was too late.

…

Eternal Sect, Martial Arts Arena.

“Step!”

Under the eager anticipation of numerous disciples, Jun Changxiao floated down.

Liu Wanshi, who had been waiting for a long time, could no longer control her emotions. She excitedly rushed over and joyfully said: “Sect Master, you’ve finally returned alive!”

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched slightly as he instinctively sidestepped.

“Swish!”

“Thud!”

“Ow ow—”

Because the Sect Master dodged so beautifully, Liu Wanshi, who lunged at empty air, directly landed face-first on the ground.

If it were before, Jun Changxiao might have stood still, after all, back then the girl was only eleven or twelve years old. Now she had long since transformed from a little girl into a young woman, so naturally he had to deliberately maintain distance.

The system said: “Apart from the Rose Queen, no other woman in this world can easily take advantage of Gou Sheng even a little bit.”

“Sect Master!”

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others also surrounded him, their faces wearing brilliant smiles.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Jun Changxiao swept his gaze over them and nodded: “During this Sect Master’s absence, you didn’t slack off. Your auras are stronger than before.”

“Sect Master!”

Li Qingyang said: “Elder Jiang found his older sister!”

“Oh?”

Jun Changxiao was quite surprised: “This is great news indeed.”

“However…” Li Qingyang said bitterly: “Elder Jiang’s older sister was forcibly given drugs that caused loss of reason and memory by others. She’s already forgotten that she has a long-lost younger brother.”

Hearing this, the smile on Jun Changxiao’s face was instantly replaced by coldness. He said in a heavy voice: “Who did it.”

He knew how much Jiang Xie cared about his older sister. After all, the two of them nearly got struck by lightning back then. Now that she was found but had lost reason and memory, this was definitely a heavy blow!

Su Xiaomo said: “The Yin-Yang Gate of Nanhai Duzhou!”

“Son of a bitch!” Jun Changxiao roared furiously: “Grab your weapons and follow this Sect Master to Nanhai Duzhou to flatten this Yin-Yang Gate!”
