Chapter 1578 - 1952: Paying Respects to General Zhuo

General Zhuo Fei, accompanied by two attendants, arrived at Central Continent Wentian City.

Wentian City is considered a major city in the Central Continent. Yang Xiao has now ordered the cultivation of hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the suburbs for growing crops to resolve Wentian City's food supply issue.

Once the food problem is resolved, the bottleneck limiting Wentian City's population will also be addressed.

Many people from other cities started to migrate to Central Continent Wentian City continuously.

Today, Wentian City is populous, commercially prosperous, harmonious in living, showcasing a vibrant and flourishing scene.

General Zhuo Fei spent half a day touring Wentian City and was full of praise for the city under Yang Xiao's governance.

"Even compared to the Divine City, Wentian City doesn't fall short. Especially your social atmosphere is commendable—very harmonious. Throughout my journey, I hardly noticed the show of arrogance by the noble class."

Of course, the three of them also witnessed a more meaningful sight; in Wentian City, banners supporting the Divine Hall and Thanos Saint were everywhere, even many hotels had such banners hanging.

They even learned that Yang Xiao had already ordered the construction of a statue of Thanos Saint in Central Continent Wenti City Square for the citizens to pay homage.

General Zhuo personally visited Wentian City Square and indeed saw the center of the square cordoned off, under construction.

"Young fellow, may I ask what you're doing here?"

"Our King has said to erect a statue of Thanos Saint here, for everyone to worship anytime!"

"Why does your King hold such respect for Thanos Saint?"

"Look at what you said; we are all subjects of Thanos Saint, of course, we must respect Thanos Saint. Our King worships the plaque of Thanos Saint in the Royal Palace daily, very devoted,

The King instructed us that everything we have comes from the Divine Hall and Thanos Saint; we must know gratitude!"

General Zhuo Fei now truly believes Yang Xiao is a good civilian, moreover, an exceptionally good one.

The Divine Hall regarded the Central Continent as a place of exile, exiling criminals there, never providing the people with a shred of help or protection. Yet unexpectedly, Yang Xiao established the Central Continent Empire, showing gratitude to the Divine Hall and Thanos Saint—not only himself but leading fifty million people of the Central Continent to express gratitude to the Divine Hall and Thanos Saint.

This is such a rare childlike sincerity!

General Zhuo Fei hasn't yet met Yang Xiao but already harbors a favorable impression of him exceeding 80 points.

Moreover, he now feels a strong desire to meet Yang Xiao immediately.

General Zhuo Fei found a nearby inn, changed out of merchant clothes, and resumed his battle armor as a General of the Divine Hall,

The two guards likewise changed their clothes.

General Zhuo Fei arrived at the Royal Palace of the Central Continent Capital, previously the City Lord Mansion.

A guard troop stood in front of the Royal Palace; upon seeing the majestic arrival of General Zhuo Fei, distinguished in demeanor, they promptly approached with bowed heads and asked:

"May I know your noble surname and what brings you here?"

The two guards beside General Zhuo immediately responded:

"This is General Zhuo Fei of the Divine Hall; notify your master Yang Xiao to come out and welcome General Zhuo Fei promptly."

When a General of the Divine Hall visits the territory of any group on the Dwarf Star, representing the Divine Hall and Thanos Saint, they hold high status and power, commanding respect.

However, rarely does a General of the Divine Hall visit the Central Continent for an official trip.

The guards at the Royal Palace door were stunned upon hearing this, staring blankly at General Zhuo Fei.

"What, Divine, Divine, Divine Hall?"

In their minds, the Divine Hall is simply a place where gods reside.

The Guard Captain, who was somewhat experienced, quickly regained his senses, dropped to his knees with a loud "thump," and exclaimed:

"Subordinate pays respect to General Zhuo Fei!"

The guards behind him, seeing this, also kneeled promptly and cried out in unison:

"Paying respect to General Zhuo Fei!"

The Guard Captain stood up and said:

"General Zhuo Fei, please follow me, please!"

Meanwhile, he shouted at one of his guards:

"Hurry and report to the King, saying that General Zhuo Fei of the Divine Hall has arrived, quickly go!"

A guard hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes," and dashed inside the Royal Palace.

General Zhuo Fei, although arrogant, was fairly satisfied with the attitude and response of these guards, nodded, and stepped inside the Royal Palace.

Yang Xiao was discussing affairs with Xiao Qingliu, Xing Zhe, Elder Qi, among others in the Royal Palace Hall.

A guard dashed in like a whirlwind and shouted:

"Your Majesty, there are visitors from the Divine Hall, visitors from the Divine Hall!"

Yang Xiao was startled upon hearing this, immediately rose to greet them.

"Don't panic, speak slowly, what's happening?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Zhuo Fei of the Divine Hall is just outside the Royal Palace and is presently walking this way; the Guard Captain sent me to inform you."

"Hmm, very good!"

Yang Xiao turned to Mr. Master and others and said:

"Proceed according to the plan!"

Everyone nodded together and walked outside.

After Yang Xiao and the others left the Royal Palace Hall and walked about a hundred meters, they saw the Guard Captain leading a mighty General over two meters tall coming toward them.

Yang Xiao immediately knelt down to the ground,

Mr. Master and dozens of others also knelt behind Yang Xiao.

When General Zhuo Fei approached within ten meters, Yang Xiao and the others collectively shouted aloud:

"Subordinates welcome General Zhuo Fei!"

General Zhuo Fei glanced at Yang Xiao and others, feeling very pleased inside, with a sense of pride.

Yang Xiao established the Central Continent Empire and led fifty million people, counting as a regional overlord, yet upon seeing General Zhuo Fei, still obediently knelt and greeted.

This is the hierarchy of power!

General Zhuo Fei belongs to the top echelon of the Dwarf Star Continent power structure, directly controlling others' life and future; who dares not give respect, he could eliminate anyone at will.

Looking at Yang Xiao in front, General Zhuo Fei said indifferently:

"You are Yang Xiao?"

"Yes, subordinate is Yang Xiao; didn't expect your honored visit, failing to greet you earlier, please forgive me!"

"Raise your head!"

Yang Xiao straightened, lifted his head, and looked at General Zhuo Fei.

General Zhuo Fei glanced at Yang Xiao, feeling very satisfied inside.

Yang Xiao was handsome and unrestrained, extraordinary in demeanor, especially with his respectful yet unfrightened gaze at General Zhuo Fei, not a trace of flattery, truly commendable!

So many people upon seeing General Zhuo Fei, if not scared to death, are excessively flattering, which is disgusting.

When Yang Xiao and General Zhuo Fei's eyes met, his heart skipped a beat, too.

General Zhuo Fei is an extraordinary expert at the Emperor Level Advanced Realm, strong in cultivation and unmatched in spiritual power.

With just a brief eye contact with the opponent, Yang Xiao naturally felt a strand of awe,

This is the pressure emitted from a powerful aura, and people whose Genetic Evolution Level is relatively low will experience such awe, even fear, and panic.

Behind Yang Xiao, Elder Qi, Black Wood, and others also trembled, a wave of fear naturally welling from their hearts.

Of the people present, only Mr. Master kept his head slightly lowered, his face calm.
