In the past, that little girl would follow him everywhere, and he could not even drive her away. But now, she no longer came to him, and he felt somewhat… Lonely.

Feng Lianqing shook his head fiercely, trying to get rid of Helian Yue from his mind.

In this life, he only wanted to cultivate and follow his master. He did not want his cultivation to be distracted by a girl.

After all…

He was not a girl. His master would kick him out if there were no improvements in his cultivation.

“Silence!”

Tian Ya's voice was cold and stern.

Feng Lianqing was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Tian Ya, confused. “Master…”

“I said, shut up! Be quiet!” Tian Ya's face remained cold.

He sneered as his old eyes scanned the night sky.

The night was calm, but it was as if this calm also carried a murderous aura.

Feng Lianqing finally sensed that something was wrong. He tightened his grip on his sword with a wary look in his eyes.

“Since you have already come, why are you still hiding?” Tian Ya's sneer became even more mocking. “Being timid like this is not like you…”

Suddenly, four figures appeared out of thin air from all directions, standing above Tian Ya's head.

The four people in front of them were all four old men, looking older than Tian Ya. Some with beards and hair that were completely white, and their old faces looked cold.

“I was just guessing just now…” Tian Ya laughed wildly. “Now it seems that it is really you four shrinking turtles! Are you afraid to fight with me? Hiding in the shadows, trying to surround me, huh?”

“You…”

The white-robed old man on the left was full of fury.

“Tian Ya, how dare you! Four of us have been waiting here for you for a long time! I thought you wouldn't dare to appear.”

Tian Ya sneered. “With just the four of you, you want to scare me? The four of you are just losers. You will forever be my dogs. Three years will only make you more tras.h.!.+”

Feng Lianqing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

‘Master… Can you please not taunt your enemies all before you fight? You'll make them hate you more.'

“Tian Ya…”

Another old man with a gentle face started to speak. He was so fat and always smiled like the Buddha, Maitreya. At first glance, he looked like someone who was easy to deal with, better than the white-robed old man.

“We came to see you. We want to talk to you.”

Tian Ya sneered. “Yun Huan Kingdom, Tian Qin Kingdom, Gu Yue Kingdom, Liu Li Kingdom… The four kingdom's emperors personally came to find me just to talk to me?”

Maitreya was still smiling as he gently said, “Tian Ya, we appreciate your ability. If you come to me, I can crown you king immediately. Why do you have to waste your skills being a general to the weak emperor of Tianling Kingdom?”

“Hmm…”

Tian Ya sneered. “So?”

“Tian Ya, in Land of No Return, if one wants another to become an emperor, the new emperor must be at least a King Warrior. Tianling Kingdom has never been stable since the previous emperor pa.s.sed away. That's why he has invited you to his kingdom to help him.”
