383: Spend all your money to make amends and offer your absolute loyalty

However, compared to the members of the Red Dust Emperor Clan, Xue Qinglian, standing beside Kong Wudao, could more intuitively feel the overwhelming emperor Aura sweeping toward them.

An emperor! That was a Cultivator truly standing at the pinnacle of this world!

Yet this lord before her not only casually produced an emperor decree, but it was one that only a top-tier emperor powerhouse could condense!

It was hard to imagine what kind of Heaven-Defying status the other party must have to be able to casually produce such a top-tier emperor decree.

The status of the lord she followed was likely far greater than she could ever imagine!

How fortunate she was to be able to work under such a Heaven-Defying figure!

The rich emotional drama made Xue Qinglian's thoughts exceptionally active, even achieving a kind of self-indoctrination.

[Ding! Detected that the daughter of destiny, Xue Qinglian, has completely surrendered her heart to the master. The remaining 2000 heavenly mandate points have been fully deducted!]

[Congratulations to the master for triggering a quadruple critical hit, obtaining 8000 heavenly mandate points!]

Ignoring the System's notification, Kong Wudao looked coldly at the powerhouses of the Red Dust Emperor Clan.

Three emperor decrees hovered around him, emitting a rich, imperial radiance that made him appear even more transcendental.

An Aura as heavy as an eternal mountain collapsed downward, causing the Divine Souls of the Red Dust Emperor Clan powerhouses to tremble, and cold sweat immediately poured down.

They had never imagined that things would turn out like this!

According to their predicted development of events, they should have used their advantage in numbers and cultivation to suppress Kong Wudao in every aspect, forcing him to apologize.

But they never thought the other party would completely disregard conventional tactics; the development of the plot far exceeded their expectations.

The other party actually casually pulled out several emperor decrees condensed by top-tier emperors!

They, on the contrary, had become the clowns, thoroughly manipulated by Kong Wudao!

"A misunderstanding... Little Friend Burial Dao, this is all a misunderstanding!"

The leader of the Red Dust Emperor Clan, a quasi-emperor Cultivator, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, his mouth pulling into a forced smile.

"According to the intelligence investigation of our Red Dust Emperor Clan, we were unaware that the Xuanbing Royal Clan had already followed you, Little Friend..."

"If we had known the truth of the matter, how would we dare to commit such an offensive act?"

"Indeed! Once we return, we will personally apprehend these blind fools and bring them to you to apologize!"

The few powerhouses of the Red Dust Emperor Clan shifted the blame faster than anyone. They wanted to use this to ease the frozen atmosphere and divert Kong Wudao's anger.

"Is this the explanation you give me?" Kong Wudao stood with his hands behind his back, his cold voice devoid of any emotion.

The group could clearly feel that the emperor decrees hovering behind him were emitting an even more heart-palpitating imperial Aura.

The Red Dust Emperor Clan members turned pale. If they didn't take measures, it was very likely that they would all die here!

The group dared not delay and hurriedly brought out all their possessions as compensation for their offense.

The two quasi-emperor powerhouses even surrendered their own life-bound quasi-emperor weapons before they were successfully allowed to leave.

When they first arrived, the Red Dust Emperor Clan powerhouses were aggressive and full of grandeur.

But when they left, they were as terrified as stray dogs.

To appease Kong Wudao's anger, they had even lost their shirts, and didn't dare to utter a single harsh word, feeling incredibly miserable and aggrieved!

Kong Wudao was not yet prepared to make a move against Li Jincheng. After all, such trash could be killed at any time.

Moreover, compared to these stinky fish and rotten shrimp, he was looking forward more to the collision with Emperor Shitian at the Divine Dao Academy.

As for the compensation left behind by the Red Dust Emperor Clan powerhouses, Kong Wudao didn't have much interest in it.

After leaving many cultivation resources and a quasi-emperor weapon to Xue Qinglian, Kong Wudao prepared to return to the Divine Dao Academy.

Before leaving, he slightly turned his eyes to look at Xue Qinglian, who was keeping her head bowed to respectfully see him off, his voice cold.

"Remember, what I want is the absolute loyalty of your clan toward me."

"Yes, Qinglian will certainly not fail the master's expectations."

Xue Qinglian naturally understood the meaning behind Kong Wudao's words.

The ones the other party had killed earlier were just a few fence-sitters who had first stuck their heads out.

In fact, just now in the great hall, many people had shown signs of wanting to submit to the Red Dust Emperor Clan.

Perhaps feeling that attacking this group of ants would dirty his hands, Kong Wudao had not killed them immediately.

But since he had intentionally emphasized it before leaving, Xue Qinglian naturally knew what to do.

A great purge plan took shape in her mind.

Even if they were clansmen with whom she shared a Bloodline, as long as they dared to be disloyal to the lord, they must die!

Now the meaning of her existence, and the meaning of the existence of the Xuanbing Royal Clan, was to offer absolute loyalty to the lord!

...Meanwhile, what happened at the Xuanbing Royal Clan spread like wildfire.

Countless Cultivators and Daoist traditions learned that Kong Wudao had confronted the Red Dust Emperor Clan powerhouses in the territory of the Xuanbing Royal Clan.

In the end, he even directly sacrificed three top-tier emperor decrees, suppressing the Red Dust Emperor Clan so they had no temper at all, and even forcing them to suffer heavy losses to apologize and offer compensation!

This matter caused a huge uproar, making countless Cultivators increasingly curious about Kong Wudao's identity.

"Holy sh*t! The background of this Burial Dao is probably even more terrifying than we imagined!"

"Not only can he make the Divine Dao Academy open a back door for him, but he can even casually produce top-tier emperor decrees!"

"It seems the other party is definitely not just powerful; I fear he also has a heaven-reaching background behind him!"

"I heard that this guy Burial Dao is incredibly confident in his own strength, to the point that he doesn't even put His Highness Emperor Shitian in his eyes!"

"He even claimed that the other party is just trash, and there is simply no comparison between them!"

"Is that so? How come I heard that Burial Dao was arrogant enough to call His Highness Emperor Shitian a dog that can't be brought out into the open?"

"..."

Perhaps as this matter continued to ferment, or perhaps because someone was deliberately manipulating the narrative in the shadows, some rather exaggerated and outrageous rumors gradually began to spread.

However, Kong Wudao didn't care at all, letting the rumors intensify. After all, he did indeed think so in his heart.

As for the so-called "interested parties," he didn't even need to deliberately guess; he knew for sure it was that guy Li Jincheng deliberately doing it in the dark.

However, he didn't care. Anyway, Li Jincheng was already on his hit list long ago.

...Meanwhile, inside a great hall in the Divine Dao Academy.

Emperor Shitian sat cross-legged on the divine platform, with brilliant divine light of Laws floating around him.

It must be said that his talent and Aptitude, looking at the entire Extraterritorial Land, can truly be called peerless.

He has only been in the Divine Dao Academy for less than two days, yet his cultivation has already advanced again, breaking through to the Saint Lord Realm Fifth Level.

As for the rumors spread outside, he naturally knew about them too.

However, he was not annoyed by these insulting remarks from Kong Wudao.

Firstly, he already knew that these rumors, deliberately intended to incite him to further enmity with Kong Wudao, were most likely the work of Li Jincheng, who had suffered a great loss at the hands of Kong Wudao.

Secondly, he and Kong Wudao were already rivals to begin with.

Furthermore, both of them had absolute confidence in their own strength. Naturally, they both looked down on each other.

If he were to be angered by these so-called rumors, or even lose his composure, it would instead show that his Heart-Nature was too poor.

"However..." In the empty space, Emperor Shitian murmured softly: "There is one thing Burial Dao said that is right: being a dog, yet daring to harbor some improper thoughts behind one's master's back."

"Such a dog with little schemes is better dealt with sooner rather than later."

Emperor Shitian's mouth curled slightly.

Compared to killing Li Jincheng himself and getting entangled in unnecessary trouble, it would be better to use a small trick and let that guy Burial Dao be the executioner.
