Chapter 1056: A Duke

Never in Bai Xiaochun's wildest dreams could he imagine that he would meet Heavenly Marquis Liu again.

Bai Xiaochun would never forget that list of 100 evils. He could still visualize the man's fiery remark to the Grand Heavenmaster, and how, after the table was flipped over, he finally escaped to the Great Wall

Far later ... The Great Wall collapsed, and Bai Xiaochun had stopped thinking about this matter, only to make it appear here and declare he had a list of 300 evils ….

"First when the Grand Heavenmaster sent me away from Arch-Emperor City, I was never able to track down this person. What luck does he have on his side? Well, he survived the destruction of the Great Wall, and even the whole world. But how could he finally do better than Big Fatty Zhang, and become such an important government official!?!?

“Dan also ... weight down. Her skin was good, and she looked even younger. He looks more dignified and impressive than in the past, even more handsome …. " Bai Xiaochun couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this Heavenly Marquis Liu. Not only was the man extremely lucky, he was clearly living a great life here in Saint-Emperor City ….

When Heavenly Marquis Liu noticed Bai Xiaochun's facial expression, and saw all the other important people in the palace hall looking at him with expressions of praise, his heart swelled with pride. As he prepared to launch into the 300 evils, Bai Xiaochun swung his sleeve, causing Gongsun Wan’er and the other gods he had captured to suddenly appear in front of him.

"Saint-Emperor, this is the gift I prepared for you." Aware that he could not rule out the eloquent Heavenly Marquis Liu, he decided to directly jump forward to the main point.

As soon as Gongsun Wan’er appeared, thousands of eyes came to focus on him, especially the one in front of the crowd, which was another heavenly star that had a similar rank to Gu Tianjun.

Even Saint-Emperor was so interested in Gongsun Wan’er that he forgot all about Heavenly Marquis Liu.

Seeing what had happened, Heavenly Marquis Liu rubbed his nose awkwardly and then melted back into the crowd.

” Fine, you've already slipped through my finger again, Bai Xiaochun. It's done well. But sooner or later I will list all the 1,000 crimes I have prepared! "

Gongsun Wan’er looked around calmly towards the crowd, and then bowed respectfully to Saint-Emperor. But he said nothing. As a celestial of the Vile-Emperor Dynasty, he would show respect to other powerful and important people, but that was it. He was confident that he would not be harmed in the Saint-Emperor Dynasty.

Instead, a look of despair could be seen on the trembling faces of the gods. The pressure from the celestials and Saint-Emperor made them feel as if they were about to collapse.

A moment passed, and then Saint-Emperor started laughing loudly. He rose from his throne, an expression of joy on his face. After all, this was the most impressive gift anyone had ever offered him in the history of the Saint-Emperor Dynasty!

He would not kill Gongsun Wan’er, but given that he was a celestial, he would be able to trade it for a significant land concession. Considering that there were certain prefectures that were the source of much friction between the two dynasties, this was a great opportunity.

Best of all, it would not violate his agreement with Emperor Vile. After all, this gift had been sent to him, not sought. Even if Emperor Vile wanted to take revenge, he could not blame the Saint Emperor for all of that.

"good. Goody. Just incredible! ” While laughing out loud, Saint-Emperor looked at Bai Xiaochun and the Giant Ghost King at the other end of the square.

"Giant Ghost, step forward to hear my decree!"

Eyes twinkled, the Giant Ghost King stepped forward, and then clasped his hands to Saint-Emperor.

"From now on, the Ghost Giant will be the guide of the Godsifter Prefecture, and will be given control over the Fire Joss of all living beings there!"

Within the Eternal Immortal Domains, a prefecture had a size roughly equal to the entire Heavenspan Realm. As the preceptor of the Godsifter Prefecture, the words of the Giant Ghost King would become law!

Such a gift was a perfect fit for someone with the status of a Giant Ghost King, and he was very happy with it. In fact, the main thing he expected to obtain in this venture was the right location to start hiding the people from the Heavenspan Realm.

Clasping his hands, the Giant Ghost King bowed excitedly.

"Thank you, Saint-Emperor!" When he got up from his bow, he somehow looked different from before. At this moment, he now had a foundation in the Eternal Land. He was no longer a roving rogue cultivator, and would no longer be in a constant state of deadly crisis. Exactly as he discussed from the beginning with Bai Xiaochun!

Bai Xiaochun was also very excited. When he saw that the Giant Ghost King had been given the entire prefecture, he couldn't help but wonder what his own reward was, given the greater nature of his role in the event.

Bai Xiaochun put on a very respectful expression to his face. He knew when to bow his head at the right time, and this was one of them. It is not losing face to do so when achieving one's goals.

“Bai Xiaochun has done a great service. He was someone so high-ranking that he was from the Heavenspan Realm, someone so famous and prestigious that no one could compare to him!

"Next, Bai Xiaochun will be bestowed with the title ... Duke Heavenspan!

“In the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, only the celestials can claim the title of king. Under the king was the duke. Therefore, Duke Heavenspan would be the leader for many, second only to the king!

"Let him inherit the blessed land within Saint-Emperor City, a single dragonfish from the heavenly pond, a ducal robe, and a seven-colored jeweled belt!" As the words of Saint-Emperor echoed, an extremely solemn expression could be seen on the faces of the surrounding aristocracy.

It was a very impressive gift. Not only was Bai Xiaochun named after Duke of Heavenspan, he was also granted blessed land, as well as dragon fish. The ducal robe was a magical object, and the seven-colored belt would ensure that he did not feel the pressure from the spirit robots controlling the imperial palace.

Everything seemed very impressive, yet in the end ..it was an empty gift!

The truth was that Bai Xiaochun was truly in a very unique position. Saint-Emperor had decided to give the Giant Ghost King an entire prefecture, but that was impossible with Bai Xiaochun. Saint-Emperor didn't want to give the Heavenspan people the actual location to build a power base!

His goal was to absorb the Heavenspan cultivators into the Saint-Emperor Dynasty. Clearly, it made no sense to give Bai Xiaochun, the Ancestral Ancestor, any level of substantial strength!

He wanted Bai Xiaochun to stay in Saint-Emperor City and not cause any problems. At best, he could be a puppet. Then, after all the Heavenspan people had successfully absorbed into the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, Bai Xiaochun's usefulness would end, and he could be discarded if necessary.

The truth was that, even if Bai Xiaochun did not bring his blood tribute, the rewards would be the same. Although Saint-Emperor was happy that the Ghostmother had been brought to him, inside he really only sighed in regret.

After all, everyone would pay close attention to what happened as a result, including the officials in his own dynasty, as well as the people from the Vile-Emperor Dynasty. Considering the enormous value of the reward, Saint-Emperor had to offer some sort of reward. And that was why he gave the prefecture and the post of teacher to the Giant Ghost King.

Normally, he would never give the people at Heavenspan the slightest chance to do it himself.

"I will just wait until the time is right and appear with the excuse to strip this Giant Ghost of its title." Although Saint-Emperor chuckled coldly in his heart, his gaze when he saw Bai Xiaochun was one of deep warmth.

"This is your first time in Saint-Emperor City, Duke Heavenspan, I'm sure it will take you a little time to settle down. You don't have to worry for a moment about the Heavenspan Realm or your people. I'll take care of everything!

“Surely you are tired from all the trips, Duke Heavenspan, so please go get some rest. From now on, you can focus peacefully on your cultivation. I'm sure you'll soon achieve a breakthrough. Once you are a celestial, I will gladly grant you the title of King! "

As Saint-Emperor spoke, a cold gleam could be seen on the grim faces of the crowd. At this point, even Bai Xiaochun could tell that the gifts he gave were mostly fake.

Of course, he and the Giant Ghost King had been conferring with each other along the way, and guessed that something like this might happen. And in the end, despite their weak expectations, it turned out that Saint-Emperor's plans for them were not too different from those of Emperor-Vile.

He just does things differently.

"I bet that without the blood homage, the Giant Ghost King would not be given a prefecture!" As of now, Bai Xiaochun was absolutely certain these two emperors were ferrets from the same nest.

"The one is cruel, the other a hypocrite .." he thought, smiling faintly. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not too surprised. After all, there was one thing that Saint-Emperor said that was truly true.

"I will definitely achieve a cultivation breakthrough soon!"

He clasped his hands and bowed to Saint-Emperor, and was just about to bid farewell to the Giant Ghost King, when suddenly, Marquis Liu Heavenly shouted, "His Imperial Majesty, your Majesty, you absolutely must not allow Bai Xiaochun to remain in Saint-Emperor City. That would put us all in great danger! ”
