Chapter 427 - 427 Main Director
427 Main Director
Lin Xuan pushed the door open and walked in. It was a rather large guest room. There was a circular wooden table in the middle of the room, and about ten people were sitting around the table. There were also quite a number of ability users standing respectfully at the side, waiting for the layout of the new world dungeon.
Without a doubt, the people sitting there were all earth-rank powerhouses. Their auras were heavy, and they had a sense of glory exuberating without even saying a word. However, before Lin Xuan walked in, they were all listening to the staff at the front of the line talking about the construction progress of Kunlun City. Suddenly, there was a strange sound, which naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
“Lin Xuan? A new earth-rank ability user? He’s been in the limelight recently!”
“Why is he here? Why is he late?”
“That shouldn’t be, isn’t he an earth-rank? I sense a mystic-rank aura… Although he does have the strength of an earth-rank, there is still a fundamental difference between him and an earth-rank!”
“Maybe he’s a volunteer?”
“Who knows…”
Lin Xuan was quite well-known. Many earth-rank powerhouses had heard of this young genius of Taixia more than a year ago. They were also very clear that this young man could basically become an earth-rank powerhouse as long as he did not die. After that, there was a one-year blank period. Lin Xuan had been silent for a year. Many things had happened in Taixia, but no major events related to Lin Xuan had happened. Therefore, they had gradually forgotten about Lin Xuan.
Not long ago during the battle of Chaksha City, Lin Xuan had once again appeared on the battlefield. He looked down on the world and single-handedly destroyed the Rat Clan, exterminating them to inexistence. If he had not left quickly, Weiguo would have given Lin Xuan an award for slaughtering the entire country and exterminating the species!
Other than the battle of Chaksha City, the war that had just subsided in the nine beasts chaotic world dungeon was once again incited. According to reliable sources, Lin Xuan was the trigger.
No wonder he was the youngest sovereign of Taixia Country. Wherever he went, there would be legendary stories told!
They had experienced such a life before and felt a little nostalgic and emotional. They smiled and showed kindness to Lin Xuan, who had appeared before them.
No one was a fool. Lin Xuan’s current momentum was much stronger than before. Once he entered the earth-rank, he would definitely be at the top of the earth-rank, and it was worth befriending someone like him at a time like this.
However, one of them suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Xuan in shock. “You! You’ve entered the earth-rank?!”
That’s right, this earth-rank powerhouse had discovered it. He was a powerhouse on the perceptual side and had a very sharp sense of subtle auras, energy, and changes. Although Lin Xuan had used the Dragon Breath technique, he had only entered the earth-rank for a short period of time and could not hide his aura very well during a short period of time. Furthermore. he spent most of his time on Mount Tai with the Bright Phoenix… Anyway, he had leaked some of his earth-rank aura by accident and it was discovered.
“That’s right, after three years of cultivation, it was time for me to advance to earth-rank!”
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. There was nothing to hide. The new world dungeon in Kunlun had strangely shown signs of an opening ahead of schedule, so Taixia had not had time to hold a celebration for the new earth-rank powerhouse for him. This led to many earth-rank powerhouses not knowing that he had already entered the earth-rank.
“What? He’s already earth-rank!”
“That’s fast. It’s only been three years. Don’t you know the foundation is the most-”
“What are you talking about? Taixia Country must be paying attention to him. How could they let him do that without a plan?”
“What the f*ck there’s a message from the higher-ups saying that Lin Xuan is the leader of the new world dungeon this time?!”
“You must be joking…”
When the other earth-rank masters heard that Lin Xuan had already entered earth-rank, they all stood up. Even if Lin Xuan was still a mystic-rank at the surface, he still had the strength of an earth-rank. They didn’t need to pamper Lin Xuan. Now that Lin Xuan had entered earth-rank, he was as strong as them in terms of rank, so they had to respect Lin Xuan as an equal!
What made them even more confused was that the high-level officials of Taixia Country had specially sent a message that Lin Xuan would be the leader of this new world dungeon.
There was something wrong with this. From the looks of it, they were trying to push Lin Xuan to the same position as the Bright Phoenix and Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man!
For instance, in the evil void soul world dungeon, Bright Phoenix had founded Bright Phoenix Enterprise as the base camp for Taixia Country to conquer the dungeon. The benefits from this enterprise were as vast as the ocean. This was also one of the reasons why Bright Phoenix was the richest woman in Taixia Country!
Now, Lin Xuan had the potential to become a benchmark figure like the Bright Phoenix, becoming a powerful family in the world of ability users!
The group of people looked at each other. They were no fools to be able to cultivate to their current level. They could draw inferences from one instance and understand the general situation from the minute details. In the blink of an eye, they could understand the meaning behind this piece of information. However, they were still not convinced!
Why did it have to be him? Lin Xuan was just a new earth-rank. It hasn’t even been half a month! Even if he was invincible as an earth-rank ability user, he was still a junior in terms of potential when he reached earth-rank! How did he end up above them all?!
For a moment, several earth-ranks felt uneasy. Status was secondary, but the most important thing was profit!
The new world dungeon was not a trivial matter as it represented a great profit. As a result, Taixia directly built a new city at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. This was the core of the city according to the scale of a super first-tier city. Not only did it cost a lot of money, but it would also require a huge amount of resources.
The slices of cake in the country had been distributed, and the appearance of this new world dungeon was a huge profit. All the strong people wanted to take a bite of this cake.
However, the problem was that Taixia was biased toward their youngest son, Lin Xuan. They had designated the cake for him and wanted him to distribute this huge cake.
Envy, jealousy, hatred, dissatisfaction, greed, desire… Even the wise earth-rank powerhouses couldn’t escape the temptation of the desires deep in their hearts. All kinds of distracting thoughts constantly appeared in their consciousness. Fortunately, they knew that Taixia Country was not a place where they could be presumptuous. Everything had to be done according to the rules.
They looked at Lin Xuan with faint smiles on their faces. If they had to follow the rules, then so be it. The rules of the world of ability users did not change, and strength was the only way to come out on top!
Lin Xuan’s brows twitched, and his smile widened. He could feel the aura of the earth-rank powerhouses gradually growing stronger, and his hands were a little itchy.
The way of a Human Emperor was never spoken with good words but fought with one’s fists. The way was to beat them into submission and then subdue them with benefits. This was what a Human Emperor should do!
