237: Hot cakes

Hearing this, Xiao You was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Indeed, you are now the Human Race War God; your status is completely different from before. If you can return to the Demon Domain with me, you will certainly be able to deter many. You are my backing!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You react quite quickly. But can you give me a few days? I want to take my two wives home to see my father first."

Xiao You said in a deep voice, "No problem, I'm not in a hurry for these few days."

After talking with Xiao You, Lu Xingchen opened the door and walked out of the Cultivation room.

General Wang Peng had been guarding outside the door and immediately came forward when he saw Lu Xingchen emerge.

"Greetings, War God His Excellency!"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand.

"Brother Wang, there's no need for formalities. Take me to see City Lord Xu!"

"As you command!"

Immediately, Lu Xingchen followed Wang Peng into the conference hall.

In the conference hall, in addition to the four Chosen Ones, there were also the City Lord and vice hall master of Demon-Rejecting Pass, Lin Wanqing and her Dao protector, and a burly middle-aged man.

Lu Xingchen looked at the tops of their heads.

Li Hongxue was still an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, Lin Wanqing had also achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Venerable, and as for everyone else, they were all "???".

Needless to say, apart from these two girls, everyone else was in the Saint Realm.

Including that unfamiliar middle-aged man.

Lu Xingchen cupped his hands to the crowd and said with a smile, "Greetings, Seniors!"

Xu Chengyang said with a smile, "War God His Excellency, there's no need for formalities. All of us here have been waiting for you to come out of seclusion, especially Senior Mu Chun and Lord Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall from the Human Emperor Hall."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen took another look at the middle-aged man.

To be called "Lord" by the City Lord of Demon-Rejecting Pass, he must also be of noble status.

Lu Xingchen had already guessed a few things about the purpose of his visit.

He was undoubtedly here to win him over.

After all, the "War God" IP still had a great influence in Kyushu, and he had a high probability of becoming a Saint.

If he could be recruited into the Human Emperor Hall, it would greatly increase the strength of the Human Emperor Hall.

However, Lu Xingchen didn't plan to take sides so quickly; he would first look at the conditions offered by the Righteous Path Alliance and the Human Emperor Hall.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "City Lord Xu, what is the situation at Demon-Rejecting Pass now?"

Xu Chengyang said with a smile, "Although we suffered heavy losses, we still managed to defend Demon-Rejecting Pass, and that's largely thanks to you. The fighting Qi of the Human Race warriors recovered on the third day, and the Spirit of Valor Realm lasted for five full days."

"After Ning Mengqi realized that there was no hope of taking Demon-Rejecting Pass, she led the Demon Race Army to retreat. Now, only a small number of Demons remain in the Demon Abyss. I've been waiting for you to come out of seclusion. If you think it's okay, I'll let the Human Race powerhouses who assisted in Kyushu return to their respective homes."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "The warriors have fought so hard for so long; it's time for them to go home and rest. City Lord Xu, you must generously reward the Human Race warriors who came to assist and subsidize the families of the warriors who died in Demon-Rejecting Pass."

Xu Chengyang said with a smile, "Of course! I've already made arrangements."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "That's good. Also, City Lord Xu, is there a way to break the Formation that the Demon Race set up in the Demon Abyss? If that Formation appears again next time, I don't want our Human Race warriors to suffer another setback."

Xu Chengyang nodded heavily: "I have already reported this matter to the Human Emperor Hall, the Righteous Path Alliance, and the top three Chosen Ones. The third Chosen One, Your Excellency Formation of Ten Thousand Daos, has been a Ninth-Rank Spiritual Formation Master for many years, and the defensive Spirit Formation system on the walls of Demon-Rejecting Pass was constructed by him."

"Three days ago, he personally came to Demon-Rejecting Pass and deciphered the Demon Race's Formation. According to Your Excellency Formation of Ten Thousand Daos, this Demon Race Formation is called the Demon God Spirit Sealing Formation, and its deployment conditions are extremely harsh, making it very difficult for it to appear a second time."

"But he still set up a defensive Spirit Formation within Demon-Rejecting Pass. If the Demon God Spirit Sealing Formation is encountered again, as long as one returns to Demon-Rejecting Pass, the suppression effect can be immediately lifted."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was shocked.

"Holy cow, the third Chosen One! A veteran figure of the Human Race personally came to Demon-Rejecting Pass, and I actually didn't go to greet him. It's such a pity."

Xu Chengyang chuckled, "Your Excellency Formation of Ten Thousand Daos's time is very precious. He only stayed in Demon-Rejecting Pass for one day, and even I didn't get to speak with him."

Lu Xingchen sighed lightly: "You're right. The gap between us is truly too great. But it doesn't matter, I am also a Spirit Array Master. When I reach the Ninth-Grade in the future, I must exchange Spirit Formation insights with Your Excellency Formation of Ten Thousand Daos."

"Then City Lord Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I need to return the Disciples and Elders of Cangxuan Sect to Sect Master Gu Chen."

Xu Chengyang chuckled, "I indeed have nothing else, but these two Seniors still want to talk with you."

As Xu Chengyang's words fell, the burly middle-aged man stepped forward: "War God His Excellency, please wait! Your time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point."

"My name is Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, and I am the vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall. The Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall heard about your deeds and sent me to invite you to join the Human Emperor Hall."

"Our Human Emperor Hall will exhaust all resources to help you Cultivate, and give you the status of a revered figure. Once you achieve a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, you will immediately be appointed as vice hall master, taking control of the authority of Kyushu."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was also surprised.

The Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall truly thought highly of him, offering the status of a revered figure right away, and even dangling the position of vice hall master in front of him.

If he joined the Human Emperor Hall, he would truly be above everyone else.

Before Lu Xingchen could speak, Mu Chun stepped forward.

"War God His Excellency, don't rush to decide; consider it carefully. Our Righteous Path Alliance also wants to invite War God His Excellency to join. Besides fully assisting you in your Cultivation, the Alliance Master can immediately give you the status of vice hall master."

"There are no conditions; what you see is what you get. You don't need to wait."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

These two forces were actually competing for him?

Now he was truly a hot commodity!

Upon hearing Mu Chun's words, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall immediately frowned.

The Righteous Path Alliance and the Human Emperor Hall, as co-creators of the Human Race's order, had conflicts of interest while working together in full cooperation.

The Righteous Path Alliance represented the major Sects, while the Human Emperor Hall represented the state.

Previously, Ning Zhifeng, the Alliance Master of the Righteous Path Alliance, encountered Her Excellency Xin Huo in Zhongzhou and brought her back to the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters.

For a time, the Righteous Path Alliance's prestige soared, firmly suppressing the Human Emperor Hall.

Now, if Mu Chun were to snatch War God His Excellency away again, the gap between the two sides would become even greater, and he would have no way to explain it to the Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall also gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Conditions can be negotiated further. War God His Excellency, I, in my capacity as the vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, assure you that if you join the Human Emperor Hall, we can also immediately give you the status of vice hall master!"
