Alch-deer and Huntblade entered Lost Peak - the abode of Lostmetal and Goldclad.
âWhat ancestor? The oldest person now in Desolate Frontier is Tenth-gen Ancestor.â The two of them frowned.
Alch-deer and Huntblade exchanged glances. The statement was reasonable because Tenth-gen Chen was only second to Everlasting Jiang regarding age. A sizable minority would argue for North Kun God.
Since the two emperors originated from the Chen, they naturally sided with this camp.
âAncestors, thatâs not the issue here.â Alch-deer said: âWe should greet the return of our ancient ancestor and do something for him.â@@novelbin@@
âWhich is?â Lostmetal asked, not liking the sudden appearance of this unknown ancestor. Of course, he wouldnât be so direct.
âThe ancient ancestor wishes to add some colors to Silence Peak, hence the need for flowers and trees. We are here to give the message.â Huntblade said.
âDo as you please.â Goldclad said: âLook around to see if anything is suitable and bring it back. That should do.â
Despite not liking the new ancestor, the guy was still an ancestor. As emperors, they couldnât be impolite and small-minded.
âReally anything?â Alch-deer smirked.
âOf course, Lost Peak is large enough to have something you want.â Lostmetal became slightly impatient.
âThen what if I pick the alloy tree?â Alch-deer stared at them.
âNo!â The twoâs expression soured.
This alloy tree was their most precious ancestral tree. They spent eras growing it since it could produce numerous resources, helping them with cultivation.
Alch-deer himself felt an invisible hand gripping his throat.
âAncestor, is this violence against a messenger?â Alch-deer didnât relent.
âIs that all you are, a messenger?â Lostmetal increased the pressure.
Both Huntblade and Alch-deer felt their spine bending as a result.
âAncestors, what is wrong with expressing my opinion? Our Desolate Frontier is a civilized place so if I said something wrong, please enlighten me.â Alch-deer said.
âNot bad, Alch-deer. Looks like your wings are grown now and you want to fly above us, how disrespectful and unfilial.â Lostmetal said.
Due to the disparity in age and power, the other emperors viewed Alch-deer as a junior.
âAncestor, what you accuse me of has no factual basis since it is not my intention.â Alch-deer said.
Huntblade winked at him, telling him to shut up. After all, these two emperors were indeed their seniors. Unfortunately, Alch-deer pretended he didnât see the signal.
âHmph.â Goldclad said: âYou must understand the imperial realm is only the beginning. You have a long way to go before acting like this.â
âAncestor, I am aware. I am only a junior before you but remember, the same applies to you when you stand before the ancient ancestor. And, weâre both emperors, mere beginners.â Alch-deer said.
Lostmetal and Goldclad exchanged glances. Alch-deer was right about one thing - he was still an emperor of Desolate Frontier. Itâs just that they still viewed him as a junior like before who had to follow their commands.
âWell said, well said.â Someone clapped loudly.
A wave of imperial came next, engulfing everyone and startling the weaker visitors.
