Liu Badao!

"No, I'm willing--"

"Boom!"

The sword intent descended.

Countless cracks appeared on the ground.

In the midst of the cracks, Yu Zhan's bones shattered, his organs burst, blood filled his mouth, and fear still filled his eyes.

He was dead beyond death!

The strand of sword intent pressed down on Yu Zhan!

At the square atop Qingyun Mountain, top experts from various countries were greatly astonished!

"Am I seeing it wrong? Yu Zhan, Yu Zhan--"

"You're not mistaken, Yu Zhan is dead!"

"His blood cloud power could definitely be called number one under the God Transformation Realm. How could someone of that strength be killed by a young man? It's impossible!"

"No matter how impossible it seems, what we saw with our own eyes cannot be false. But Su Zhan is truly extraordinary; with just one sword, he suppressed Yu Zhan!"

"Just one sword! It's merely a strand of sword intent!"

"The string of sword intentions pressed down on Yu Zhan! It seems the rumors were true! Su Zhan does possess power comparable to the God Transformation Realm!"

"But how could it be so easy to kill Yu Zhan, even if he was in the God Transformation Realm?"

Voices filled the air.

At this moment, experts from various countries looked towards Su Zhan.

Their eyes were filled with astonishment, jealousy, and even fear!

Someone who could suppress Yu Zhan with just a strand of sword intent, how could they not fear him?

Empress Ye Qingyu's small mouth slightly opened, showing the first moment of her loss of composure as an empress.

After a while, she gradually calmed her shocked heart and gazed at Su Zhan with her beautiful eyes. "Since the day we parted... I knew that Young Master Su was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that in such a short time, the name of Young Master Su has spread throughout Tiannan. Defeating an expert of the God Transformation Realm and now, suppressing Yu Zhan with one sword, it's truly an extraordinary achievement!"

"Empress is too kind. It's not that I'm extraordinary, it's just that this person is too weak."

Su Zhan shook his head.

Weak?

Yu Zhan, who could be considered the number one person under the God Transformation Realm in all of Tiannan, had become too weak in your words?

But no matter what you say, it's true.

The empress smiled slightly, "If Young Master Su says he's weak, then he's weak! These days, Young Master Su, is it... is it Li Qingyang from Qingyang Kingdom!?"

Before she finished her words, the empress's gaze turned towards the green fireball in the sky behind Su Zhan. Her smile faded, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

It was widely known that Su Zhan defeated Li Qingyang.

But he only defeated him, he didn't kill him, which might indicate that the gap between them wasn't as large as imagined.

And this could be confirmed by Li Qingyang rushing towards Xia Nation's stone platform.

If he truly feared Su Zhan, why would he dare to attack this side?

Seeing his imposing manner, could it be that he wanted to avenge Yu Zhan?

The empress felt a bit uneasy as she watched the green fireball getting closer.

Other experts from various countries had the same thoughts as the empress, thinking that Li Qingyang might clash with Su Zhan because of Yu Zhan.

But the next scene left them stunned!

They saw the fire receding, and the figure of Li Qingyang appeared, landing on the Xia Nation's platform. He actually bowed respectfully to Su Zhan!

Their country's strong expert was killed, yet he didn't seek revenge and instead submitted to his enemy.

What kind of operation was this???

Thoughts raced through the minds of experts from various countries as they speculated one by one.

Some said that Su Zhan and Li Qingyang became friends after their fight.

Some said that Su Zhan was actually a descendant of Li Qingyang's late mentor, which was why he bowed.

There were various opinions.

On the platform, Su Zhan looked at Li Qingyang, who bowed respectfully, and said, "I just killed a half-step God Transformation Realm expert from your Qingyang Kingdom. I didn't know him, but he wanted to cause trouble for me. I hope you don't mind."

"No, no, no! Young Master Su is just joking!"

Li Qingyang was drenched in sweat and carefully looked at Yu Zhan's corpse. He recognized him and immediately said, "Young Master Su, you don't know this, but this person is Yu Zhan, an evil cultivator full of crimes! At that time, he infiltrated the Huayue Kingdom's palace with the intention of kidnapping Ye Qing-, no, the empress, but he was severely injured by the empress's grand formation. It was reported that he died, but unexpectedly, he appeared at Qingyun Mountain today and disturbed Young Master Su!"

"He deserves a thousand deaths!"

"I regret being one step too late and unable to kill this person for Young Master Su!"

After speaking, Li Qingyang glanced at the top experts from various countries who were confused and now looking in their direction. Hearing their increasingly nonsensical speculations, he worried it would anger Su Zhan. Grinding his teeth in anger, he roared, "Silence, all of you! I, Li Qingyang, have pledged my loyalty to Young Master Su! Anyone who opposes Young Master Su will have to deal with me, Li Qingyang!"

As these words came out, the bewildered top experts from various countries suddenly froze.

Li Qingyang, a formidable God Transformation Realm expert!

Renowned throughout the fifteen countries in the Tiannan region, he actually acknowledged Su Zhan as his master?

How terrifying was Su Zhan's true power?

Even God Transformation Realm experts were afraid of him!

Everyone was shocked, feeling that their understanding of the cultivation world in the Tiannan region was completely overturned!

Qin Jincheng, Chen Changfeng, and others also wore expressions of astonishment.

Although they knew that Su Zhan's power far surpassed Li Qingyang's, they didn't expect Li Qingyang to acknowledge Su Zhan as his master!

A God Transformation Realm expert as a slave...

Both of their mouths twitched.

Wasn't this the first case in thousands of years in the fifteen countries of the Tiannan region?

"Alright, there's no need for everyone to make it widely known."

Su Zhan glanced at Li Qingyang and said, "From now on, you will stay in the Yuntian Sword Sect and follow the orders of the Sect Master and Elder Chen."

After hearing this, Chen Changfeng's expression changed. "This is truly unacceptable! I am only in the Core Yuan Realm, where..."

"Elder Chen, there's no need to say more. He has pledged to serve as my slave for fifty years. If he disobeys any orders during these fifty years..."

"You can rest assured, Young Master Su. I will strictly follow the orders of the Sect Master and Elder Chen. If I go against them, let me be struck by heavenly thunder!"

Li Qingyang hastily expressed his loyalty.

With that, he bowed to Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng, saying, "From now on, I am a member of the Yuntian Sword Sect. Sect Master Qin, Elder Chen, if you need anything, feel free to ask."

Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng exchanged glances, their faces puzzled.

They were only in the Core Yuan Realm themselves, and suddenly, they had a God Transformation Realm slave to command?

Wasn't this a bit illogical?

After hesitating for a moment, they finally didn't refuse.

Su Zhan had his own cultivation path to follow and couldn't stay in the Yuntian Sword Sect for his entire life. Having a powerful God Transformation Realm expert to command would indeed bring many benefits to the sect!

With this in mind, Qin Jincheng nodded. "Senior Li... Fellow Daoist Li, you don't need to hold back. From now on, we are all one family. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Li Qingyang bowed.

Seeing the matter resolved, Su Zhan looked at the bewildered Empress and smiled, "Empress, the Cultivation Conference will begin soon. You won't be leaving the Huayue Kingdom and joining our Xia Nation, will you?"

"If Young Master Su wants me to, it's not impossible..."

The Empress smiled charmingly, but soon, she coughed lightly and regained her empress demeanor.

"Just kidding, Young Master Su. Please disregard it. The Cultivation Conference will start soon, so I'll take my leave."

After speaking, the Empress's face blushed slightly, as if she were shy, and she left.

Seeing that even the Empress could display such childish expressions, Su Zhan was momentarily stunned, but then he smiled faintly and watched the Empress leave.

Next, several other God Transformation Realm experts arrived one by one and sat on the stone platform in their respective countries.

After the fourteen representatives of the countries gathered, they waited for another three hours.

A black dot appeared in the sky.

As the black dot approached, everyone could clearly see that it was a large black bird.

Seeing this black bird, the expressions of many experts became serious.

It was the fifth-ranked peak demon beast, the Black Flame Eagle, raised by the Liu family from the Wu Kingdom!

The appearance of the Black Flame Eagle also represented one thing.

The strongest expert from the fifteen countries in the Tiannan region, Liu Badao, had arrived!
