Chapter 613: The New Human Emperor

The cultivators standing outside the Human Emperor Palace did not dare to enter the hall, merely staring blankly at Zhang Nuo! Although Zhang Nuo appeared extremely weak at this moment, the fact that he was sitting here instead of Fang Leihuo meant that he had defeated Fang Leihuo!

"You dare to kill Lord Human Emperor!"

At this moment, a loyal guard of Fang Leihuo stepped out from the crowd. This person was over fifty years old, dressed in tight-fitting combat attire, and his cultivation had reached around the Integration Stage middle stage!

Zhang Nuo merely glanced at the man with his eyes, then gave a light chuckle and said:

"The era of Fang Leihuo has passed; now I am the Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Realm! If you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to bring it up!"

The voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone present! It seemed that, just as they had thought, Fang Leihuo had indeed died at the hands of Zhang Nuo.

"You want to be the Human Emperor? What a pipe dream!"

At this time, another old man stepped out from the crowd. This person was also a cultivator from the previous Human Emperor Palace. They saw how weak Zhang Nuo was, which is why they dared to muster the courage to step out and speak, aiming to incite public outrage against Zhang Nuo!

"Even if Lord Human Emperor has fallen, the next generation of Human Emperor is to be appointed by the Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers; how could it ever be your turn!"

The old man looked righteous and stern, pointing his finger at Zhang Nuo!

Because there was now a bird that stuck its head out, many discordant voices appeared in the surrounding crowd! Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head, and glanced at the middle-aged man and the old man who had stepped out! He softly spat out two words:

"Kill them!"

As soon as the words fell, the brilliance on the bodies of Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi beside him flashed simultaneously. With a few flickers, they arrived in front of the two men. Before they could even react, the two Spirit Beasts struck at the same time! Two sprays of blood splashed out. The two men who had led the opposition against Zhang Nuo were decapitated on the spot!

Although Zhang Nuo was severely injured, Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi were still able to move, and dealing with two Integration Stage cultivators was not strenuous for them! At this moment, two azure Nascent Souls suddenly flew out from the corpses on the ground, rushing toward the high sky!

Qiongqi let out a roar, its figure flickered as it rushed into the air, and with one bite each, it swallowed the two Nascent Souls into its mouth! Everyone present was dumbfounded; these were merely Zhang Nuo's Transformation Stage Spirit Beasts, and they already possessed such strength—then what about Zhang Nuo? Even if injured, he was likely not someone they could deal with!

With a cold smile, Zhang Nuo said to those below the great hall:

"Who else objects? Step out! Although Zhang has injuries on his body, I still have the confidence to wipe you out one by one!"

Suddenly, Zhang Nuo's body sat straight up, and at the same time, several Flying Swords shot out from his body. The chilling sword light illuminated the entire Human Emperor Palace!

There was silence in the hall! No one dared to step out again. Even a Lianxu Chuji cultivator in the crowd tightly shut his mouth! He feared his strength was insufficient to defeat Zhang Nuo! Perhaps he couldn't even beat those two Transformation Stage Spirit Beasts!

"Since no one objects, then I, Zhang Nuo, am the new Human Emperor!"

Leisurely standing up, Zhang Nuo said loudly as if he were a monarch overlooking the world.

"Congratulations, Lord Human Emperor!"

Among the cultivators below, it was unknown who shouted this first, and afterwards, everyone submitted to the feet of Zhang Nuo!

That day, the news of Zhang Nuo slaying the Three Elders of the Human Emperor Realm and the Human Emperor Fang Leihuo spread! Moreover, Zhang Nuo had declared himself the Human Emperor; this was definitely a major event in the Immortal Domain!

The news spread at flying speed throughout the entire Immortal Domain within half a month, including the territories occupied by demon cultivators!

Within the Wuliang Dao Sect, Beigong Zhenren had a face full of smiles, looking up toward the direction of the Human Emperor Realm, wondering what he was thinking! After a long while, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, whispered a few words to it, and the talisman turned into a streak of fire that shot into the sky, galloping away in a certain direction!

One year later, in the Wushuang Saint Emperor City, the buildings damaged because of that battle had mostly been rebuilt by the cultivators! It was just that there were far fewer people on the streets; before understanding the situation clearly, no cultivator dared to easily step foot into the Holy City again!

The Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers could not just let Zhang Nuo become the Human Emperor like this! Perhaps before long, there would be another great battle! For the sake of safety, some cultivators who did not have fixed assets in the city chose to leave the Holy City!

In the vast Human Emperor Palace, only Zhang Nuo resided, with Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi protecting him. Over the course of more than a year, Zhang Nuo had recovered more than half of his body!

The remaining minor injuries could only be healed slowly! At this time, a streak of fire flew from the horizon, passed through the Restriction of the Human Emperor Palace, and arrived directly in front of Zhang Nuo!

Reaching out to grab it, Zhang Nuo took the fire into his hand, then exerted force with his five fingers; the fire burst, and a voice entered Zhang Nuo's ears!

Only after listening to the words in the Sound Transmission Talisman did Zhang Nuo walk out of the room with a smile on his face! He saw Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi standing at the doorway!

"You two come back! I am no longer in any serious trouble!"

Hearing this, the two Spirit Beasts turned into two rays of light and returned into Zhang Nuo's body once again! After taking a tour around the vast Human Emperor Palace, Zhang Nuo looked at the things left behind by Fang Leihuo! This guy, worthy of having been the Human Emperor for thousands of years, had collected quite a lot of things. Zhang Nuo did not stand on ceremony, picked out some useful items, and stored them into his Storage Bag!

Finally, in a secret chamber, Zhang Nuo discovered a rectangular wooden box. After opening it, inside was unexpectedly a broken long sword! Upon seeing this sword, Zhang Nuo instantly remembered the scene of when he first entered the Holy City!

At that time, with Chen Shuang'er leading the way, he went to the 'Jade Study' workshop, and it was precisely from there that he saw this broken long sword, the 'Zhutian Blade!' However, Zhang Nuo's strength was not enough at the time; even with Mysterious Gold, who could easily repair this sword, he did not dare to purchase it. Later, this sword was bought by Fang Leihuo.

Never did he expect that after so many years, this sword would return to his own hands! Reaching out to take the long sword from the wooden box, he projected his Divine Sense into it and discovered it was damaged extremely severely!

"Mysterious Gold, how much longer until you can produce Mysterious Crystal Stone?"

"It should be possible in about a few years!"

Hearing Mysterious Gold's answer, Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately smiled as he tossed the 'Zhutian Blade' into his Storage Bag. He could imagine the power of this sword; once repaired, it would not be inferior to the Red Blood Demon Sword!

Returning to the Human Emperor Palace, Zhang Nuo felt troubled again. The previous Sound Transmission Talisman was sent by Beigong Zhenren, telling him that in a few days, the Sixteen Chambers would send cultivators to the Holy City and formally appoint him as the new generation Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Realm!

Whether to be this Human Emperor or not, Zhang Nuo did not care, but he was a complete layman when it came to management. Back in the Human Realm, the management of Yulong Immortal Mountain was all done by Liu Qingshan, but now, without Liu Qingshan, and having no one he could trust, if he were to shoulder everything himself, it would inevitably affect his cultivation!

During the year Zhang Nuo waited in the Human Emperor Palace, the Holy City had already become very chaotic. Those who previously followed Fang Leihuo were all afraid that Zhang Nuo would cause them trouble, so they fled at the first opportunity!

A large force, if it does not have a good manager, will end up as a scattered mess and eventually disintegrate! Although he had snatched the Human Emperor Realm, the subsequent matters were still very headache-inducing!

Three years later, the Sixteen Chambers finally sent people. Upon seeing the person who arrived, Zhang Nuo's face immediately showed joy, because he also knew this person; it was truly Wen Sihong!

The two of them already knew the truth about the slaying of Fang Leihuo and the seizing of the Human Emperor Realm, so there were not many twists and turns, and they reached an agreement very smoothly!

A few months later, Wen Sihong formally announced to the Immortal Domain that the Sixteen Chambers had appointed Zhang Nuo as the new Human Emperor, granting him the authority to handle all practical affairs of the Human Emperor Realm!

This news shocked the Immortal Domain once again. Why the Sixteen Chambers would make such a decision, everyone could not understand!

Zhang Nuo was the one who actively started the trouble, and after slaying Fang Leihuo, he sat on the throne of the Human Emperor! Could it be that the Sixteen Chambers would just let a Human Emperor fall like this? And not punish the murderer?

The questioning voices outside were very loud, especially those former subordinates of Fang Leihuo, who were creating all sorts of rumors in the Immortal Domain! However, since the Sixteen Chambers had issued the order, no matter how much they stirred up trouble, it was of no use. Even some of the most clamorous cultivators died mysteriously within a few years!

A major event of replacing the Human Emperor just ended like this! As for those dead subordinates of Fang Leihuo, no one ever mentioned them again!

When the cultivators in the Immortal Domain heard that the Sixteen Chambers had formally appointed Zhang Nuo as the Human Emperor, the major forces immediately sent people to offer their congratulations! Among them, the Wuliang Dao Sect actually sent people too! This made many cultivators even more confused. Previously, they had heard that Zhang Nuo and the Wuliang Dao Sect had fallen out; how could there still be a connection?

Could it be that Beigong Zhenren changed his mind as soon as he saw the man become the Human Emperor? Successively, it took Zhang Nuo more than three years just to receive these cultivators who came to offer congratulations! The gifts collected from them were also quite numerous!

Zhang Nuo had been the Human Emperor for three years, every day being swayed by some troublesome affairs, and he had no time to practice his techniques. In a state of distress, he came up with a method: he posted a recruitment notice in the Human Emperor City to hire management personnel for the Human Emperor Realm!

And it really worked; countless cultivators competed to sign up. When a small cultivator handed the Jade Slip containing the names of these applicants to Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo was also greatly surprised! It turned out so many people wanted to seek a job in the Human Emperor Realm!

Just as he was focusing on looking at the Jade Slip, a familiar name appeared, and Zhang Nuo was slightly startled!
