Chapter 1584 - 1558: Pursuit

The news that the Central State Empire was recognized by the Divine Hall, and that Yang Xiao was to become the eleventh elder of the Divine Hall's clan elder council, quickly spread throughout Central Continent Wenti City.

The whole of Wenti City was in an uproar.

The people of the Central Continent have always been exiled criminals or descendants of criminals. For hundreds of years, when they set foot on the Central Continent, it was destined that their descendants would become wanderers, unable to gain recognition from the Divine Hall.

Now, Yang Xiao has led everyone to establish a unified Central State Empire. Not only has Yang Xiao gained the status of a Divine Hall elder, but the Central State Empire has also been recognized.

Everyone cheered, overwhelmed with joy.

Because from now on, the citizens of the Central State Empire have completely cleansed their identities, no longer criminals or descendants of criminals. They can now move openly among the various clans on the Dwarf Star.

They can return to their former clans and reunite with long-lost relatives.

All of this was previously not allowed.

Yang Xiao held a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome the arrival of Ying Tianmo.

At the same time, Xiao Qingliu immediately sent people to spread this good news across all cities in the Central State Empire, allowing everyone to celebrate.

"Yang Xiao, make arrangements to visit the Divine Hall with me in two days to meet the other elders. After gaining their recognition, you can officially be appointed as the clan council elder.

Of course, this is mainly a formality. I've already solved the main problems and obstacles for you."

"Thank you, Ying Tianmo!"

General Zhuo spoke:

"Congratulations, Brother Yang Xiao. From now on, I must address you as Elder Yang. For the sake of recommending you into the elder council, our Lord Ying Tianmo strongly supported you. It was only under his intense recommendation that everyone agreed to let you into the elder council.

Otherwise, with your current cultivation level at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, it would be challenging!"

General Zhuo's words naturally told Yang Xiao not to forget the kindness of Ying Tianmo, implying that we are allies from now on.

Yang Xiao bowed again:

"Thank you, Lord Ying Tianmo, for your recommendation. From now on, in the Divine Hall, I will follow your arrangements completely."

"Haha, Brother Yang Xiao, don't say that. If you didn't have this extraordinary ability and the Central State Empire as a backing, my recommendation would be useless."

...

Yang Xiao found Mr. Master Xiao Qingliu.

"Qing Liu, after I go to the Divine Hall, I entrust the management of the Central State Empire to you."

Xiao Qingliu hesitated for a moment and said:

"I'm not comfortable with you going alone to the Divine Hall; let me accompany you."

"You want to come with me? Who will manage the Central State Empire?"

"We have Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Ao Litai, and others. There will be no problem. Besides, once you become a Divine Hall elder, even if you are not present in the Central State Empire, who would dare challenge your authority?

You've helped the fifty million people of the Central State Empire regain dignity and recognition. You are now a deity in the Central State Empire. Whether you are present or not, as long as you call, everyone will heed your command. No one can compare to you."

"But, if you come with me to the Divine Hall, what help could you offer me?"

"Haha, I lived in the Divine City for a time; I still have some friends there. Accompanying you means I can provide aid if any issues arise.

Once you secure your position in the clan elder council and become an elder, I will return to the Central State Empire."

"Alright, if you insist, then we'll follow your plan."

Yang Xiao convened a meeting overnight, assigning Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Ao Litai, and the ten war generals to guard the Central State Empire.

The ten war generals said:

"Boss, rest assured as you go; everything at home is fine. Anyone who stirs conflict, we'll deal with them directly."

With Yang Xiao heading to the Divine City, Xing Zhe decided to return to Wuji Academy for a period of cultivation.

"Brother Xing Zhe, you return to Wuji Academy first. Once my responsibilities at the Divine Hall are settled, I will come to Wuji Academy to see you.

Besides, if I become a clan elder council member, I'll visit your clan as a Divine Hall elder."

If Yang Xiao visits Xing Zhe's clan as a Divine Hall elder, it would be a great honor for Xing Zhe's Xianghe Clan, and the surrounding hostile clans would no longer dare infringe upon the Xianghe Clan.

Xing Zhe was overjoyed and said:

"Great, I will eagerly await your good news at Wuji Academy, Brother Yang!"

Two days later, Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu, accompanied by Ying Tianmo, General Zhuo, and others, set out, flying towards the Divine Hall.

Ying Tianmo had observed Xiao Qingliu several times in the last few days, feeling a peculiar sensation towards Xiao Qingliu.

Although Xiao Qingliu was officially the Vice King of the Central State Empire, Ying Tianmo suspected that Xiao Qingliu must be Yang Xiao's lover.

It seemed natural for them to travel to the Divine Hall together.

From the first meeting with Xiao Qingliu, Ying Tianmo felt an uncanny sense of familiarity, as if they had met before, yet on thinking deeper, he couldn't recall from where.

The group flew through the sky.

Ying Tianmo purposely tested Yang Xiao's genetic evolution combat power.

"Yang Xiao, we're in a hurry; can we speed up a bit?"

"Of course, I will do my best to keep up with you, Lord Ying Tianmo."

"Haha, good!"

Ying Tianmo shifted his body, his speed abruptly increasing, quickly turning into a small black dot and disappearing ahead.

General Zhuo chuckled,

"Brother Yang, Miss Xiao, please!"

Yang Xiao let out a long howl, swiftly accelerating and flying forward.

Xiao Qingliu was not to be outdone, urgently following.

General Zhuo led the guards in pursuit from behind.

Since these guards were at the Empire Level Advanced realm and hadn't reached the Emperor Level realm, General Zhuo had to slow down to lead them in flight.

Ying Tianmo, at the emperor level advanced realm, was naturally faster than Yang Xiao.

But Ying Tianmo did not use all his potential, otherwise, he would have left Yang Xiao behind long ago.

However, it was unworthy to compete between Emperor Level Advanced realm and Emperor Level Middle Stage realm, so Ying Tianmo merely increased his speed appropriately to test Yang Xiao's limit potential.

Yang Xiao also activated his "Enhancement" soul skill without hesitation, instantly increasing the four genetic attributes by 50%.

The effective time for the "Enhancement" soul skill is half an hour.

Yang Xiao burst forth, transforming into a streak of light, soon catching up with Ying Tianmo ahead.

Ying Tianmo was startled,

Damn, this kid is really powerful!

Ying Tianmo accelerated again.

With a swoosh, Yang Xiao suddenly flew past Ying Tianmo like a meteor.

"Good lad!"

Ying Tianmo's competitive spirit flared up, and without caring about the Emperor Level Advanced realm, he immediately mobilized all his genetic evolution energy to chase after Yang Xiao.

But with Yang Xiao pushing forward, flying with all his might like a streak of light, he actually left Ying Tianmo behind.

In terms of agility attribute alone, after a 50% boost, Yang Xiao had already surpassed Ying Tianmo.

However, Ying Tianmo's evolution level is still higher than Yang Xiao's; the evolution level is a hard barrier Yang Xiao still can't overcome.

The two chased each other for over ten minutes, with Ying Tianmo finally catching up to Yang Xiao but feeling quite shocked inwardly.

Why is this kid Yang Xiao so fast? Isn't he just at the Emperor Level Middle Stage realm?
