Chapter 172: Saber Emperor Du Xuanhao

There were 10 particular Emperor Realm cultivators in the Cloud Margin City that were no regular Emperors . Even in the entirety of the Soaring Dragon Province, they were among the top Emperors .

The Western Desert was the name of this vast region formed of numerous provinces . This region had a population of trillions of people . Numerous organizations filled the region, and in such a vast region, there were naturally a lot of powerful geniuses as well . The Soaring Dragon Province was merely a small province within the region, yet it already had a population of over 10 billion people .

One could say that the Cloud Margin City was doing very well for them to have 10 Emperors considered powerful even among the entirety of the province . The man speaking to Xiang Shaoyun was none other than the Saber Emperor, Du Xuanhao, who was ranked in the top three among the Emperors .

The Saber Emperor Du Xuanhao was a legend . Since he had started cultivating, he had slaughtered a path to Emperorship with his saber and had obtained a certain amount of reputation in the Soaring Dragon Province as a whole . If it wasn't because he had cultivated for slightly less time than the other top 10 Emperors, he would be ranked even higher .

As for why Du Xuanhao was here, he was here for Xiang Shaoyun . Xiang Shaoyun had managed to comprehend the saber intent at the Green Bamboo Academy, which was a saber intent he had left . He once planned to accept whoever was capable of comprehending that saber intent as his disciple . After waiting for many years, someone had finally comprehended the saber intent .

However, he did not show himself and take Xiang Shaoyun as his disciple immediately . Instead, he observed Xiang Shaoyun's nature in the dark before finally making his choice . In other words, ever since Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended the saber intent, Du Xuanhao had been secretly observing everything Xiang Shaoyun did .

Xiang Shaoyun was completely unaware of it all . The only thing he knew was that not even an Emperor was worthy of being his master .

"You must be kidding, senior . How would this kid dare toy around with you?" Xiang Shaoyun replied deferentially . He paused slightly before speaking again, emanating a unique sort of grace this time, "Although this kid has a low cultivation level, not many people are actually capable of being my master . "

What he said was right . With his heaven-defying physique, even the strongest of the strongest within the Nine God Provinces would want to take him as a disciple . Although an Emperor was strong, they were still nothing in his eyes .

He was no longer the same Xiang Shaoyun who would act shamelessly just so he could be accepted into the Martial Hall Palace . He already had his cultivation foundation built and had a direction to strive for . Thus, he would be able to continue his cultivation even if he was all alone . After all, he still had an unimaginable number of battle techniques in his head . More importantly, his comprehension ability far surpassed an average person's . He would be able to comprehend the intricacies of cultivation even without guidance . Because of that, he did not have any intention to get a master for now .

When Du Xuanhao heard Xiang Shaoyun's words, he roared with laughter and said, "What a boastful kid . Do you think you can look down on everyone just because you are somewhat talented? Do you think this Emperor is just an ordinary King?"

A supreme power then erupted from Du Xuanhao's body before it pressed down on Xiang Shaoyun . Xiang Shaoyun was left unharmed, but he could clearly see that the rocks and pebbles around him had all been reduced to powder from the pressure . That was a terrifying presence, one that an ordinary King would not be able to release .

Xiang Shaoyun took in the pressure with complete calm . Not a trace of panic could be seen on his face . Rather, he waited until Du Xuanhao withdrew the pressure before unhurriedly saying, "I know senior is at least an Emperor, but still, that is not enough to be my master . "

If someone else heard those words, they would most likely think that Xiang Shaoyun had gone crazy . Even an Emperor was not worthy of being his master? That was a tad bit too boastful, wasn't it? Even Du Xuanhao started to wonder if Xiang Shaoyun was actually mentally challenged .

"Tell me then, kid . What type of person is worthy of being your master?" Du Xuanhao asked with a frown .

He started wondering if Xiang Shaoyun was not as simple as he looked . Inwardly, he started questioning himself, Knowingly rejecting an Emperor like me as a master . . . is he the disciple of some major organization? Then again, even the kids of a tier-4 or tier-5 organization will still kneel down when meeting me .

"At the very least, one has to be a top Sovereign to be my master," Xiang Shaoyun answered seriously .

King Realm, Emperor Realm, Sovereign Realm, each realm was much more powerful than the realm before . The so-called Sovereign Realm was a realm after the Emperor Realm .

Even Du Xuanhao was visibly alarmed when he heard that . He sighed and said, "A person like that would be a supreme existence in tier-6 organizations . Do you think people like them would accept a mere second-stage Transformation Realm cultivator like you as a disciple? At your age, you need to at least be a King to catch their attention . "

"I believe if they are not blind, they will come to the same conclusion as you, senior," Xiang Shaoyun replied confidently .

"Haha, I'm getting curious now . Where do you get all that confidence?" Du Xuanhao roared with laughter .

When Xiang Shaoyun saw Du Xuanhao's burning gaze, he quickly asked, "Senior, you aren't thinking of forcing me to be your disciple, right?"

Du Xuanhao immediately felt like a shameless person forcing a young man to be his disciple when he heard that . He quickly blurted, "Countless people are waiting to be my disciple . Since you are not interested, it's your loss . Just don't regret it in the future . "

Right after saying that, he vanished .

"Hey, senior, you're not dumping me here, right? Come on! At least take me down the mountain!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out . Unfortunately, Du Xuanhao was nowhere to be seen .

Emperor my ass . Such an irresponsible person, Xiang Shaoyun grumbled inwardly . He stood on the mountain peak, not in any hurry to return to the stronghold . Instead, he lay down on a clean patch of grass and stared at the sky, thinking about his next step .

Apart from growing strong without stop, he really had no other options . But when he thought of the enemy he had to face in the future, he did not think that his strength alone would be enough .

I need to start building my own army . I need all sorts of people, and no matter the type of person they are, so long as they are useful, I will have a use for them . It is too tiring fighting alone . It's not like I stand a lot of chance fighting alone anyway, Xiang Shaoyun reached a decision .

After making up his mind, he got back up and headed to the Redwolf Bandits stronghold . The bandits there were already dispersing, and the stronghold was much more desolate compared to before .

After sending everyone on their way, Mo Mo went looking for Xiang Shaoyun . When she couldn't find him, she became extremely dispirited . Her initial plan was to live on with a decent backer . Unfortunately, that new backer did not seem to care about her at all . Thus, she was overjoyed when Xiang Shaoyun returned .

"Well done . You may stay by my side in the future . If you do well, I won't let you down," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Thank you, y-young master!" Mo Mo said happily .

"Um . Pack up and come with me to Cloud Margin City," Xiang Shaoyun said with a nod .
