Chapter 13: Yan Tianshan has fallen, ranked among the top ten on the Gold List.

"Xiao family, Xiao Chen, if you do not apologize for this injustice," Yan Tianshan dares to say that he would be willing to give up his manliness.

"One day, I will take your life at my own hands."

"I will make all the good men in your Xian family kneel on their knees, becoming slaves of generations, and the women shall be sentenced to prostitute their bodies."

"You will never enjoy peace."

He roared like a wounded animal, and then, composing himself, ran back to describe the whole incident to the Yunxiao Inspector. He knew the authorities would be arriving soon, at which time he could indulge his revenge.

Then, before his mind's eye, came the figure of Xian Yue, etching itself into his heart like hot iron.

It would not have mattered if he did not want to remember, but the slightest mention of Xian Yue set him vomiting blood before collapsing lifelessly onto the ground.

"Oh no, the city lord has died!"

"The Xian family must have inflicted such terrible injuries on him that he collapsed and died!" declared one of them.

"It's a pity that I am weak; otherwise, I would make sure the Xian family pays a heavy price for this!"

Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion assumed that the injuries of the Xian family had killed the city lord.

What they failed to understand was that, if he was indeed seriously wounded, Yan Tianshan would not have been able to wake up. His death was due to the haunting of the image of Xian Yue in his mind.

Xian Yue was much too powerful. Simply the mention of his name seemed to drag Yan Tianshan down a falling hole, and this was taken into account the intense malice that was harbored against him.

With Yan Tianshan dead, the City Lord's Mansion was eerily quiet. In that disorderly moment, no one dared associate with them the enemies of the Xian family. News about the tragedy spread like wildfire within Feihua City and attracted unbridled uproar.

"I can hardly believe so much happened in Feihua City within one day. Three households were destroyed and wiped out, and the lord of this city has been assassinated. Everything is changing so fast!"

"I never thought the Xian family had such mighty power. They really kept it a secret until now. Luckily, I don't hold any grudge against them!"

"This is bad! The death of the city lord will surely attract the attention of the Yunxiao Dynasty. If someone powerful comes, it could spell disaster for our entire city!"

.

It wasn't long when fear befell the entire Feihua City, mainly to those cultivators who crossed paths with the Xiao family, fearing that retribution would come their way.

"The Xian family? I never expected that they were so robust; it's really incredible!"

In the rear garden of Blossom Feast Hall Restaurant, a woman in a purple dress, her face ice-cold, was feeding the fish. She listened to news told by her maid and surprised look passed over eyes.

"The sister Meng, the Xian family's ruthlessness killed all people in the remaining three families!"

"Isn't that to be expected? Conflicts between factions often lead to total annihilation. There's nothing remarkable about it. Besides, you should focus on the matters I instructed you about. Have you made any progress?"

The woman in the purple dress asked.

"Yes, Sister Mei, I acknowledge my oversight, but we still haven't uncovered any information regarding your orders. We've been searching the Feihua Mountains diligently, yet no sword legacy has surfaced!"

"Really? Then continue your search!"

"Yes!"

After the maid walked out, the woman in the purple dress sighed and murmured, "Could it be that there is no Emperor's legacy here after all? That is really impossible. My old ancestor noted down that the Feihua Sword Emperor once lived in here. His legacy must still have existed here."

"It will not be easy to get the legacy of the Emperor; much effort will be required for that!"

At that moment, the last ranking of the top ten on the Tiandao Golden List was announced.

"The 10th ranked on the cultivation list is the 'Emperor Moyuan' at the Great Emperor Realm, receiving the heavenly reward of the Immortal Spirit Stone!"

How can that be? How can the Moyuan Great Emperor be ranked tenth? Did the legends only talk about nine Great Emperors, didn't they?" she asked in shock with her eyes widened.

Equally baffled were all the cultivators in the universe. Based on this ranking of the Moyuan Great Emperor, there are ten Great Emperors now.

"Who can that other Great Emperor be?

This question was driving every person's mind.

On a goliath planet in a far-off star kingdom, a small-time figure sat cross-legged on a futon made from Enlightenment Stone. Behind him hovers a gargantuan silver full moon that sends out silvery rays like rippling waves. He is the 'Moyuan Great Emperor,' now ranked tenth in the cultivation list!

However, his brow furrowed as he looks at the Immortal Spirit Stone before him.

It wasn't that this divine reward lacked value. The stone encompassed the Immortal Dao Law, a treasure any Emperor Grade master would yearn for.

The issue was that his ranking was mysteriously set at tenth!

"I know of the other eight Great Emperors, but who is the ninth?

Since the birth of world, there were no more than nine Great Emperors in one generation. Is it not changing heaven and earth's laws?

Not if that were so, I would have felt the Emperor's Tribulation on that person. How is it they were enlightened and an emperor before me? But if this were so how could I possibly get my hands on the Great Emperor Dao Fruit!

He was, after all, the last of the nine Great Emperors to have achieved enlightenment and become an Emperor. And since no one had come forward after him to undergo the imperial tribulation, a tenth Great Emperor was utterly unthinkable!

Confused as the Moyuan Great Emperor was, the other eight Great Emperor experts were just as puzzled. They didn't realize that one hidden tenth Emperor Grade expert was lurking in their midst.

"Who could that person be?"

The same question echoed in everyone's head.

"The 8th ranked on the cultivation list is the 'Emperor Wulei,' with the cultivation level of the Great Emperor Realm, receiving the Ultimate Skill 'Reincarnation Scripture' as a heavenly reward!"

"The 7th ranked is 'Empress Tianlong ,' also at the Great Emperor Realm, and her reward from Heaven is the half-step Immortal Weapon 'Human Sovereign Seal'!"

When Half-Step Immortal Weapon emerged, thousands of strong warriors went wild crying aloud.

"So then it is true that there is indeed an Immortal? The legendary Immortal really exists?"

The heavenly rewards shocked many.

As long ago as there had been stories telling of an Immortal in ancient times, that legend had turned into mere fable through those ages.

The age had now been countlessly long since anybody confirmed the information, making the Immortal a precious hope for immortality in most people's hearts.

But now, with Heaven's reward of a half-step Immortal Weapon, it seemed to affirm that the notion of the Immortal did exist.

In that instant, numerous cultivators felt their spirits lift at the thought that maybe an Immortal would rise in this age.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for acquiring the half-step Immortal Weapon! Our dynasty is surely bound to thrive till eternity!"

There was celebration in the Tianlong Dynasty. Voices piercingly went up into the air and dispersed the clouds above.

"I am deeply gratified to receive this heavenly reward. I should celebrate this with the people. Therefore, I have decided to grant amnesty to the world and reduce taxes across all major forces within our Tianlong Dynasty by half for the next decade!"

Impassive and calm, Empress Tianlong spoke upon her throne like a mighty thunder. Her voice was resonating throughout the universe!
