Chapter 738: Title, Emperor Yu (Four Updates)
That evening.
Fang Yu and Xu Zhaopei boarded the airplane.
After more than ten hours of flight, they finally arrived in Jiangzhou.
Crossing half the globe.
Upon returning to Jiangzhou.
Fang Yu discovered that many police officers were guarding the area around the airport.
On the outskirts, there were even soldiers standing guard.
The exit was no longer as clean as before.
On the street sides, warning signs could be seen everywhere—
"Be cautious of mutants, be cautious of danger."
"If there are any situations, please dial 110."
Words like these were everywhere.
...
Around ten in the morning.
Jiangzhou, Fang Family.
The moment Fang Yu stepped into the courtyard.
Everyone greeted him simultaneously.
"Welcome the Dragon Emperor!"
"Welcome the Dragon Emperor!"
"Welcome the Dragon Emperor!"
Hearing this title, Fang Yu furrowed his brow again.
He walked in with his hands behind his back.
His eyes sweeping over everyone.
People from the Taia Sect, the Sect Leaders of the Seventy-two Sects, and the brothers from the Dark Web, were all present.
Ye Wenjun, Xu Sisi, and Shangguan Linghui had also returned to the Fang Family.
They all knelt down.
Only one person stood at the very back without kneeling, this person was Fang Yu's master, Fang Ju.
As a teacher, how could he kneel before his disciple.
Xu Zhaopei walked out from behind, came beside Fang Yu, and asked with confusion, "Why are they all calling you the Dragon Emperor?"
Fang Yu shrugged and said, "They've all got water in their brains..."
Water in their brains?
People exchanged looks.
The old master Fang Ju spread his hands helplessly.
He was too lazy to manage these affairs, turned around, and left the courtyard to rest in the back rooms.
Fang Yu, with a frown, said, "I've said it before, don't call me Dragon Emperor, you really take my words for granted, huh!"
"This..."
The faces of those present showed difficulty.
Especially the old subordinates who once followed Fang Yu.
Each of them was a Supreme Heavenly Rank expert who could shake the earth with a stomp of their foot.
And the people from the Seventy-two Sects, they knew the Dragon Emperor the best and were the most capable of accepting this identity.
As for the brothers from the Dark Web, it was purely herd mentality, seeing so many Supreme Heavenly Ranks kneeling, how could they dare not to.
Fang Yu declared loudly, "Everyone, stand up!"
Everyone stood up.
Fang Yu's eyes swept over each person present with a piercing gaze.
"From today on, the Dragon Emperor is the Dragon Emperor, I am me... If you don't obey me, you can leave now, I won't stop you... especially those who once pledged loyalty to the Dragon Emperor, I can give you a new choice," Fang Yu's words reached everyone's ears.
Those elders with white hair could naturally not understand, showing puzzled expressions.
Fang Yu continued, "In fact…" his tone paused, and Fang Yu added, "I am not some reincarnation of the Dragon Emperor..."
Everyone was shocked!
They had forced themselves to accept the concept of reincarnation since the beginning.
Having finally come to terms with the idea, now to be told they were not the Dragon Emperor...
How could it not surprise them?
"The concept of reincarnation is, to begin with, not very plausible... The thing is, when I was cultivating in the deep mountains, I accidentally fell off a cliff and was fatally injured. While unconscious, I dreamed of someone, and that person was the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor told me his experiences through the dream, as well as what he had learned... and thus, I stepped onto the path of Martial Arts, reaching the Realm I am at today... It's really that simple... Eh? Your expressions look a bit strange, obviously, you don't quite believe what I'm saying..."
Fang Yu's gaze swept across their faces, he continued, "I don't really have any strengths, but I do not like to lie. This fact is something the brothers from the Dark Web know best."
The awkward part was.
Chen Daotian and the others were not present.
Fang Yu coughed and continued, "Anyway, that's the situation... I am not any Dragon Emperor. Do you still wish to follow me?"
As soon as the words were spoken.
From the back of the crowd, a servant of the Fang Family slowly emerged, pushing a wheelchair.
Seated in the wheelchair was none other than the white-haired Ice God, Xie Daoyun.
Her appearance brought complete silence to the assembly.
The crowd parted automatically.
Even those old subordinates who had once served under the Dragon Emperor became reverent upon seeing Ice God, not daring to act out of turn.
Xie Daoyun's gaze met with Fang Yu's as she calmly said:
"The New Emperor has been established, and the traditions of Tiandu Mountain cannot be abandoned... You, are the new sovereign of Tiandu Mountain!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Even the Ice God Xie Daoyun has spoken thus. What else could they say?
Moreover...
Fang Yu's wife, Ye Wenjun, had successfully received the baptism of the Ice Divine Temple's Divine Statue, her cultivation unfathomable, truly the legitimate new generation Hall Master.
And there were Chen Daotian, Xu Huawen, Lin Weifeng, and others.
Out of the Five Great Divine Palaces, four had the baptism of their Divine Statues under the allegiance of Fang Yu's confidants.
If he is not the emperor, then who is?
"Ice God is right, as one emperor rises, a new generation of courtiers emerges. We are willing to follow Mr. Fang!"
"We are willing to follow to the death!"
"We are willing to follow to the death!"
Those old subordinates were also not ungrateful.
The Dragon Emperor was always a thing of the past. Although they were uncomfortable admitting Fang Yu was not a reincarnation of the Dragon Emperor... what's past is past. Fang Yu gave them new life and reclaimed Tiandu Mountain for the Dragon Emperor, fulfilling his last wish.
For this alone... they should be grateful, life after life.
Fang Yu swept his eyes around the assembly.
There were many masters present.
But Fang Yu did not care who might betray him.
The man he was now was not the man he used to be.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, power is the ultimate truth. His strength was the guarantee of all this.
Fang Yu, with a smile in his eyes, looked at the crowd and said:
"I've come up with a special and ringing title for myself. From now on, you may address me as..."
His voice grew deeper.
He continued: "Emperor Yu!"
At these words.
The entire place fell into silence.
After a moment of shock, someone took the lead in shouting:
"Welcome, Emperor Yu!"
The shouts began.
The others echoed in response.
"Welcome, Emperor Yu!"
"Welcome, Emperor Yu!"
Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, feeling absolutely fantastic.
Everything was under his control.
It was as though he had reached the pinnacle of life.
But just then—
Xu Zhaopei spoke softly: "You're getting carried away... Emperor Yu... do you think you're the Jade Emperor?"
Fang Yu rolled his eyes: "Don't be such a killjoy... You must have read too many cultivation novels, huh? What Jade Emperor!"
Soon.
The crowd quieted down.
Ye Wenjun walked out from among the people to Fang Yu's side, her gaze falling on Xu Zhaopei as she nodded slightly and said: "Miss Xu, we meet again."
Xu Zhaopei casually replied: "Miss Ye... oh, I mean, Ye Ice God... you've become more formidable indeed."
Her words sounded somewhat sarcastic.
The people around coughed awkwardly.
"I have things to deal with, I must go first."
"Emperor Yu, Your Majesty, I also have urgent matters to attend to first!"
"Ah, a new secret realm seems to have appeared in Jiangzhou, causing turmoil; I have to take my brothers and check it out!"
The crowd quickly dispersed.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes and said: "Damn it, these fair-weather friends... they leave as soon as they say so! No one even helped me out!"
