"What's wrong with that?" Ye Kai said calmly.
Looking at his casual demeanor and nonchalant tone, it seemed as if having Kou Zhong become emperor was an effortless task. Everyone exchanged glances, bewildered.
Can an emperor really be treated this way?
Thus, everyone cast complex looks toward Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
If anyone here was the most shocked and the most astute, it would likely be Yun Yuzhen, the Crimson Gang Leader.
Upon hearing such a shocking statement and seeing the casually spoken words of 'rebellion' from the Sword Immortal, her beautiful eyes sparkled with intrigue. Even Dugu Ce, who sat beside her, was momentarily forgotten.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Ye Kai turned his head to look at another mountain peak, exclaiming in surprise.
"Senior," Yun Yuzhen said sweetly with a charming laugh, "What are you looking at? Is there someone over there?"
"Yes, there is!" Ye Kai nodded.
Yun Yuzhen was taken aback; she hadn't expected there to actually be someone.
"Someone? Who is it, Master?" Kou Zhong also snapped back to attention, immediately curious.
"It seems to be a fellow called Stone Pavilion. His skills aren't bad; as soon as he noticed me watching him, he ran away," Ye Kai explained with a chuckle.
"Stone Pavilion?"
"Evil King Shizhi Xuan?"
"My Lord!"
"......"
Although everyone knew that the person before them was a true master swordsman, the constant use of the term 'fellow' was truly irritating!
Now it was even worse; the Evil King of the Demon Gate had also been reduced to 'fellow.'
As everyone exchanged helpless glances, a storm of emotions surged within them once more.
"Master, can you show us what Stone Pavilion looks like? I've heard that Evil King Shizhi Xuan is quite an impressive figure." Kou Zhong rushed over to Ye Kai, massaging his shoulders and smiling ingratiatingly.
"Master..." Xu Ziling was equally curious, but he dared not be as bold as Kou Zhong. He could only sit weakly to the side and speak up softly.
"Alright, alright, you two."
Ye Kai was quite pleased with their behavior. One was kneading his shoulders while the other sat beside him looking timid, both appearing around fifteen or sixteen years old with eager eyes like a puppy. He understood why those fangirls were so enamored with these two fellows.
Even as a man, he found them rather endearing.
Moreover, Zhen Zhen, his wife overflowing with maternal affection, was gazing at him with wide eyes. Amused, Ye Kai leaned in and kissed her cheek, causing her to shyly hide in his embrace.
Then, amidst the crowd's expressions of disbelief, he waved his hand toward the front of the Pavilion, and instantly a massive three-dimensional projection appeared: "Look, this is what that fellow called Stone Pavilion looks like."
"Hiss!!!"
Whether it was the three-dimensional projection or the figure that darted about like a wisp of blue smoke, it sent chills down everyone's spines.
At this moment, Stone Pavilion felt a bit disheartened.
He merely wanted to sneak a glance at the 'immortal' mentioned in the Holy Gate, but to his surprise, before he could get close, he was already discovered, and from such a distance too.
How could this not send chills down his spine?
Even though he had mastered two techniques from the Flower Pavilion, he dared not believe that someone could sense his approach from so far away.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?"
"Bang!"
The Stone Pavilion suddenly halted its movement, one foot shattering the ground beneath it, sending fragments of stone and dust flying as it looked around in confusion.
"Stop looking; I'm right above you!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the Stone Pavilion abruptly looked up, its pupils constricting sharply, and its body trembled violently.
How could this be possible!
Could it be that immortals truly exist in this world?
Seeing the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan's face change repeatedly in response to the three-dimensional projection, Ye Kai felt a surge of pride. However, he wasn't keen on capturing the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan just yet, so he smiled lightly and said, "Alright, listen up. Although my aura suppresses you, centered on my position, nothing within a ten-mile radius—be it grass, trees, insects, or beasts—can escape my divine sense."
As these words left his mouth, the Stone Pavilion nearly turned into a fool from shock. Meanwhile, Du Fuwei, Yun Yuzhen, and Dugu Ce couldn't help but smile wryly as they lowered their heads again.
Despite having experienced so many shocks, they still couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble!
"What do you want?"
Looking at his two 'precious disciples' with bright eyes staring intently at him, Ye Kai replied with a hint of annoyance in his smile: "Well!"
"Long live! Master is the best!"
Kou Zhong chuckled, swiftly kneading the shoulders of his immortal master. "Master, look at how embarrassed I and Ling were when we faced off against those experts. If this keeps up, not only will we lose face for you, but we won't be able to hold our heads high either, right, Ling?"
Receiving a knowing glance from his good brother, Xu Ziling also adopted a pitiful expression, reminiscent of an abandoned dog. He weakly said, "Master, please teach us some Divine Ability!"
"Lord!"
At that moment, Zhen Zhen emerged from her shyness and looked at her two brothers with a strong maternal radiance on her face. She gently spoke, "Zhen Zhen doesn't understand martial arts very well, but... but Zhongling and the others..."
"Alright!"
Ye Kai pretended to glare at the two acting fools before gently pulling his woman closer and softly kissing her forehead. He then smiled and said, "Whatever you wish."
Seeing the gentle smile of this 'immortal' and hearing his soothing voice while looking at the ordinary woman beside him, everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration and envy.
"Zhong, Ling, come here and kneel." After calming his woman, Ye Kai suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Master!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, both smiling with joy. However, they managed to suppress their excitement and knelt down with a thud.
Ye Kai's Mind Control Ability surged to its peak. Suddenly, an unparalleled terrifying authority emanated from him. Even Du Fuwei found himself unable to move an inch as if his bones had rusted.
Compared to the overwhelming feeling of a Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone pressing down on their chests, being unable to move was not too concerning.
In an instant, aside from Wei Zhenzhen, nearly everyone in the room was drenched in cold sweat and pale-faced.
"This Sect originally planned to bestow you both with Holy Rune Armor when you turned eighteen. However, considering what you just experienced, it might not be a bad idea after all. If you encounter strong enemies, relying solely on your skills would still be somewhat lacking."
Ye Kai waved his hand casually, and two one-meter-long bronze-colored metal cubes suddenly appeared. They were covered with countless strange patterns and designs, shimmering with a faint halo. Anyone who glanced at them would recognize that these objects were anything but ordinary.
"Go ahead, each of you take one and drop a drop of your blood on top. You will understand."
As the last word fell, the terrifying pressure that made it impossible for anyone to resist immediately dissipated. However, at that moment, no one paid attention to anything else; instead, they fixated intently on Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling along with the two peculiar metal objects.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
As Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's blood dripped onto the metal cubes, a brilliant radiance erupted from them, emitting blinding light. Following the sound of golden chimes, both of them were completely enveloped in a layer of bronze-colored metal.
The surface was adorned with exceptionally ornate and intricate patterns and runes, and each of them possessed a flowing crimson cape that moved as if caught in a windless space.
Watching the martial arts masters around him rendered speechless, their expressions frozen in awe at the sight of these once-unreachable powerhouses now dumbfounded, Ye Kai felt an unusual sense of satisfaction in his vanity.
The Holy Rune Armor he presented this time was not given lightly; it was truly crafted through divine calculations and research, combined with the runes recorded in the Holy Rune and the Book of Ice Blaster.
He intended to leave a deep imprint of Chinese mythology—Zodiac—on this world.
