Chapter 1126

The inauguration ceremony was extremely brief, lasting less than ten minutes before ending.

But everyone present clearly understood, gazing at Xu Jingming's unnaturally youthful face.

A new era for Great Xia had already arrived.

After the inauguration ceremony came a grand open-air banquet.

As the central figure of this inauguration, Xu Jingming also appeared at the banquet.

As a Supreme Being, though he acted remarkably casual, everyone at the banquet regarded him as a god, showing him deep reverence.

Only those like the Leng Yuexi sisters, who had known him long ago, felt slightly more at ease.

'So this is a Supreme Being.'

'No wonder Teacher Emers felt far happier during her time in Great Xia than when she was in the Hearthfire Divine Temple.'

Xu Jingming silently sighed inwardly.

Though his personality remained unchanged, just as before.

Yet the immense power of a Supreme Being still made people view him as a god.

And this attitude would grow even more pronounced as his strength increased further.

'I'll need to spend more time with Teacher Emers, so she can feel some warmth.'

Xu Jingming couldn't help but think inwardly.

At that moment, Eva's voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

'S-Class. The EU's ninth-rankers have all been gathered. You can go now.'

'Good.' Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

To control the EU, he must first control its ninth-rank强者.

But the EU's ninth-rank psychics were too scattered, and he was too lazy to hunt them down one by one.

Fortunately, Charlotte's death left behind a space ring containing a communicator.

So he had Eva infiltrate it.

And he issued a message summoning all EU ninth-rank members to gather together.

Now that they were all assembled, he could net them all at once.

'Sis Xi, I have other matters to attend to—I'm leaving now.'

Xu Jingming smiled as he came back to himself.

Before him, Leng Yuexi wore a red evening gown, tall and elegantly proportioned.

Beside her, her younger sister Leng Yuechan was equally pure and captivating, youthful and radiant.

'Leaving already?'

Leng Yuexi's voice carried a hint of disappointment, though she showed none outwardly, only smiling and nodding: 'Alright, let's meet again next time.'

She knew clearly that after this, as an eighth-rank Grand Master,

seeing Xu Jingming, the Chairman, would be no small feat.

'Next time, by the way—this bracelet is for you.

It was once a Perfect-class fire-element weapon, though now it's damaged.

Perhaps with you, it might regain its former glory.'

Before leaving, Xu Jingming gave her the Inferno Embrace, which he had obtained from the secret realm.

Previously, Zhou Yuanwu had used its replica to trick Lei Ding.

Now he had no fear of Lei Ding, and this fire-element weapon was useless in his hands.

Better to give it to Leng Yuexi, who also possessed fire-based psychic abilities.

'P... Perfect-class element weapon?'

Staring at the bracelet radiating scorching heat in her hand, Leng Yuexi's almond eyes widened in shock.

By the time she recovered her composure, Xu Jingming had already vanished without a trace.

'No wonder the Chairman is so generous with his gifts.'

Leng Yuechan murmured her admiration as well.

Many around them noticed this scene and silently resolved to cultivate good relations with the Silver Moon Trading Company.

After all, the new Chairman's many romantic interests were already common knowledge.

These two sisters already had close ties with the Chairman—perhaps one day they'd become among his many beloveds.

要知道,

Though the Song family currently lacks a ninth-rank, it still dominates all other ninth-rank factions!

All because of Xu Jingming's presence—now it seemed the Silver Moon Trading Company might possess similar potential...

On the other side,

Xu Jingming arrived at the Xia Meng Aviation Port with Su Qingli and Ling Shuang.

Cao Jun and over a dozen of Great Xia's top ninth-rank combatants had already gathered there.

Each wore battle armor, their aura cold and sharp, clearly prepared for combat.

'Chairman my lord.'

The numerous ninth-rank councilors bowed in unison with deep respect.

'Depart. Target: the EU.'

Xu Jingming wasted no words, giving the order. Ling Shuang lightly waved her jade hand.

Vast spatial power surged instantly from her body, enveloping everyone around her.

The next instant,

Everyone present vanished from their spots as if they had never existed.

At the same time,

the Great Xia military corps, long prepared, simultaneously boarded their aircraft and departed for the EU.

The EU headquarters is located in the capital, Bruersai.

At this moment, all twenty-nine ninth-rank adepts of the EU had gathered here.

They exchanged sighs and remarks about the just-concluded inauguration ceremony of Great Xia's Grand Councilor.

No one had expected that Xu Jingming, who just a year ago bore only the title of Heavenly Prodigy, had already broken through to the Supreme Power.

Yet they were not overly concerned—so long as Charlotte remained a Supreme Power, whether Great Xia changed its Grand Councilor meant little to them.

Yet as the two strongest ninth-rank adepts beneath the EU's Supreme Power,

the Barton siblings could not relax for a moment.

The reason was simple: two days ago,

the Supreme Power Charlotte had told them she was going to Great Xia, then vanished without a trace.

The next time they contacted her, it was to summon all ninth-rank adepts to the EU headquarters.

The reason given: to observe Xu Jingming's inauguration ceremony, as inspiration.

But Xu Jingming had once captured Eric—why would Charlotte go to observe his inauguration?

Indeed, they waited until Great Xia's ceremony ended, yet Charlotte never arrived.

"Brother, don't worry.

Lord Charlotte is a Supreme Power; a little longer than usual in her cultivation won't hurt. She should arrive any moment."

His sister Freya spoke to comfort him.

Brother Henry felt a persistent unease, but hearing his sister say this, he could only reply:

"I hope so."

Yet the next instant, he suddenly turned toward the window.

"This aura...?" Henry's face turned pale.

Swish—

His form vanished instantly from his spot; his sister Freya followed right behind.

The remaining ninth-rank adepts also sensed something, and flew out after them.

Above the EU headquarters building, a massive spatial gate appeared.

Immediately afterward, Xu Jingming and his party stepped out.

He made no effort to conceal his unique Supreme Power aura.

The instant he appeared, the entire city felt a crushing weight of pressure!

"Xu Jingming! Why are you appearing in our EU? I'll notify Lord Charlotte immediately!"

Henry had already flown up from the headquarters building, accompanied by Freya and others.

These people stared grimly at Xu Jingming and his party.

A Supreme Power entering another nation's territory without prior notice was an unforgivable provocation.

Especially since Xu Jingming did not come alone—he brought along many Great Xia ninth-rank adepts; clearly, his intentions were hostile!

"How dare you question the Grand Councilor?"

Xue Jian snorted, his blood qi swirling, ready to strike.

Yet Xu Jingming moved even faster—he unleashed his twenty-million-hertz spiritual force in an instant, Lei Kuangyong.

Forming twenty-nine Slave Heart Seals, they instantly merged into the foreheads of all twenty-nine EU ninth-rank adepts.

Including the Barton siblings, those who had moments ago worn grim expressions now bowed respectfully to Xu Jingming: "Master."
