A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 387

Chapter 387: The Yi Clan’s Anger, Divine Emperor Wanjing’s Inner Turmoil and Hesitation

“What? You’re saying the Domain Lords all went to Xuelang World to pay their respects to that Senior?”

Inside the Yi Clan, the Second Elder’s face was full of shock as he listened to his subordinate’s report.

The subordinate knelt on one knee, speaking earnestly.

“That’s right. According to intelligence, the Domain Lords appeared in Xuelang World and respectfully met with that Senior, who also received them.”

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and the other high-ranking members of the Yi Clan present all wore grim expressions. Since the Domain Lords chose to pay respects to Wu Hao, it likely meant that in their eyes, Wu Hao’s strength might surpass even Emperor Jingrang.

With that thought, the Second Elder’s face darkened immediately, and he quickly said,

“Gather all the members of the Yi Clan immediately and have them leave the Jingran Domain first. They are to return only when I give the order.”

“Second Elder, is that really necessary? Could it be this person is even more terrifying than Emperor Jingrang?”

A Heavenly God asked, clearly puzzled.The Second Elder shook his head.

“There’s no time to explain. I’m only taking precautions for safety. If this person is not stronger than Emperor Jingrang, that would be ideal. But if he turns out to be more powerful than Emperor Jingrang, then this could serve as a fallback for our Yi Clan. Given the current situation, with our Family Head having died at the hands of the other party, there’s no guarantee they won’t try to wipe us out completely.”

“So follow my orders and act quickly.”

Upon hearing the Second Elder’s words, everyone present immediately understood the gravity of the situation. They nodded in agreement and quickly went to summon all clan members.

Meanwhile, in the Xuelang World, facing Wu Hao, Divine Emperor Wanjing thought he had prepared himself well. Yet the moment he saw Wu Hao, all his readiness crumbled.

Although Wu Hao did not deliberately release his aura, Divine Emperor Wanjing still felt an immense pressure from him, like that of a great mountain, which made his expression extremely serious.

After a long moment, Wu Hao was the first to speak.

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

“Senior, you flatter me. Just call me Wanjing.”Divine Emperor Wanjing dared not let Wu Hao call him “Lord” so casually. He quickly spoke up, knowing that some seniors could be capricious. If he truly indulged Wu Hao and acknowledged his status, he feared that the next moment Wu Hao might slap him to death.

Naturally, Wu Hao had no intention of making things difficult for Divine Emperor Wanjing. With a calm expression, he took a sip of tea before continuing,

“So, Wanjing, is there something you need from me?”

Upon hearing this, Divine Emperor Wanjing’s expression immediately grew serious. Without hesitation, he said,

“Senior, you might not be aware, but Emperor Jingrang is a God Emperor at the peak level. His strength even surpasses that of an ordinary Half-step God Venerable. So you should be cautious when dealing with Emperor Jingrang.”

“Oh? And why do you openly tell me Emperor Jingrang’s details? Aren’t you afraid of him taking vengeance on you?” Wu Hao looked at Divine Emperor Wanjing with a half-smile that was hard to read. This gave Wanjing a strange feeling, as if Wu Hao could see through all his thoughts.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Divine Emperor Wanjing was shocked by his own realization—he was a God Emperor, after all. Even the Great Experts among the God Venerables wouldn’t dare to claim they could directly discern his inner thoughts.

Thinking this over, Divine Emperor Wanjing glanced at Wu Hao, feeling conflicted inside. But he quickly made up his mind: lying to a senior like this wouldn’t be wise. Sometimes, sincerity is the greatest secret weapon.

“Senior, you flatter me,” he said. “In my eyes, your strength surpasses that of Emperor Jingrang. I’m afraid Emperor Jingrang wouldn’t be a match for you. Since Emperor Jingrang is no match for you, how could he possibly take revenge on me?”Divine Emperor Wanjing smiled cheerfully and said nothing more.

Wu Hao felt somewhat satisfied—Divine Emperor Wanjing had a keen eye for talent, exactly the kind of subordinate he needed.

With this in mind, Wu Hao set down his teacup and glanced at Divine Emperor Wanjing with a serious expression. He said,

“I, my True Self, have been wandering through the Divine Realm and am currently short of some subordinates. I wonder if you would be willing to become one of my followers?”

Upon hearing this, Divine Emperor Wanjing was momentarily stunned, but his face quickly twisted into a conflicted expression. He wasn’t sure whether this was good or bad for him. After all, if he became Wu Hao’s subordinate, he probably wouldn’t be the master of his own life and death anymore.

At this moment, Wu Hao continued,

“If you want to become my subordinate, you must swear a Great Dao Oath never to betray me for all eternity. I will give you one day to think it over. When you’ve made your decision, come find me again in the Xuelang World.”

Having said this, Wu Hao waved his hand decisively, sending Divine Emperor Wanjing back to the Domain Lord’s Realm. The opportunity had been offered; whether Divine Emperor Wanjing could seize it was up to him.

Wu Hao was short of subordinates, but it didn’t have to be Divine Emperor Wanjing specifically.In the moment Divine Emperor Wanjing was stunned, Wu Hao had already sent him back to the Domain Lord’s Realm. Seeing this display of power, Divine Emperor Wanjing’s pupils contracted sharply as he realized in his heart that Wu Hao’s strength was far beyond that of a God Emperor.

“The God Venerable, the senior’s power is at least that of a God Venerable; otherwise, there would have been no way for him to send me back to the Domain Lord’s Realm without me noticing,” Divine Emperor Wanjing thought in shock, his mind increasingly torn.

Although he now confirmed Wu Hao’s cultivation was at least at the God Venerable level, even so, he couldn’t resolve to pledge loyalty to Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao had said that anyone wanting to become his subordinate must swear a Great Dao Oath never to betray him.

And the Great Dao Oath was something that countless gods feared deeply. Except for a God Emperor, everyone else would be bound by this oath. Even a Peak Divine Venerable who violated the oath would face certain death with no chance of survival.

At this moment, the Deputy Domain Lord approached Divine Emperor Wanjing and, sensing his inner struggle, spoke up.

“Domain Lord, what’s troubling you?”

“Heavenly Blade, what kind of person do you think I am?”

Divine Emperor Wanjing did not turn around, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

Hearing this, Heavenly Blade Divine King was momentarily taken aback but soon responded seriously.”Domain Lord, in my heart, you are a supreme figure—selfless, gifted, and decisively capable in your actions. I believe that under your leadership, our Jingran Domain will surely reach an entirely new height.”

Upon hearing Heavenly Blade Divine King’s words, Divine Emperor Wanjing felt a wave of emotion in his heart. He then turned to Heavenly Blade Divine King, his expression complicated as he said,

“No, in fact, I am not a qualified Domain Lord.”
