Chapter 926: Borrowing the Tiger's Skin, Raising the Great Banner (First update, requesting everything)

The one who spoke was Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun, who is precisely one of the most capable subordinates of the current Human Emperor.

Among the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, the Human Emperor may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the oldest, now approaching ten thousand years of age.

The Human Emperor has established many powerful forces, the most powerful of which is the Human Emperor Mansion, and Luo Yuanjun is the Vice Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion.

It is precisely because he has the Human Emperor as his backing that Luo Yuanjun has the confidence to consistently control the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm selection tournament in the southeast region, and is willing to stand up for Li Zhangsheng at that time.

This time, Luo Yuanjun standing up for Li Zhangsheng is not only because he and Li Zhangsheng have a relationship of mutual interest, but also because he has the idea of having Li Zhangsheng join the Human Emperor Mansion.

As for the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Art that Li Zhangsheng mentioned, Luo Yuanjun can only be half-believing.

Taking a step back, even if Li Zhangsheng really did perform the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Art and his lifespan limit is less than a hundred years, the combat power Li Zhangsheng displayed makes him worth Luo Yuanjun's efforts to recruit. What's more, the Human Emperor Mansion has countless treasures; there might well be Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure or spiritual pills and miraculous medicines that can eliminate or weaken the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Art.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng still owes him a favor, and at the same time, he is counting on Li Zhangsheng to repeat as the number one in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, which can bring him a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi.

Simply put, both sides are a community of interests, and the Qingmu King has no choice but to stand up for Li Zhangsheng.

Most importantly, what does the Dark Night King have to compare himself with him?

Both being Double-Character Kings, it is one thing that the Dark Night King's strength is inferior to the Qingmu King's, but he also lacks a powerful backing and background; how can he compare with the Qingmu King, who has the Human Emperor as his support?

As the Qingmu King's voice fell, the other Kings and Double-Character Kings looked at Li Zhangsheng with suspicion and uncertainty; they did not expect Li Zhangsheng to have such a background.

The Dark Night King's expression was very unsightly, and he was furious inside, feeling exceptionally annoyed. Not only did the Qingmu King block him for a day last time, but now he is pulling this stunt again—does he, the Dark Night King, not have any face?

However, the Dark Night King did not want to openly offend the Qingmu King, so he had to forcibly suppress the resentment in his heart, deciding to thoroughly investigate Li Zhangsheng's background after returning, and then make a decision on whether to fight or reconcile.

If Li Zhangsheng is truly a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, the Dark Night King, who knows how to bend and stretch, might actually have the possibility of reconciling with Li Zhangsheng; after all, one cannot make things difficult for oneself.

The next moment, the Dark Night King took a deep look at Li Zhangsheng, and then his figure disappeared. He is not a punching bag, so naturally, he was unwilling to continue staying here.

After the Dark Night King's consciousness left, many Kings returned to their previous enthusiasm, as if the cold shoulder from just a moment ago had never happened.

Li Zhangsheng also seemed to have forgotten the recent unpleasantness and began to cozy up to these Kings. Although he was resentful of these Kings' pragmatism, they were strangers to each other, so it was normal to be pragmatic. Besides, Li Zhangsheng had just become a King and was also urgently in need of building connections.

After some pleasantries, most of the Kings did not stay long and chose to leave one after another.

Only at this moment did the Qingmu King, who had not left, come before Li Zhangsheng.

Seeing the Qingmu King come over, the remaining Kings had no choice but to end their pleasantries with Li Zhangsheng, and after greeting the Qingmu King, they also chose to leave.

"His Majesty Li Zhangsheng, congratulations on becoming a King!"

A King's status is equal to that of an emperor, so addressing him as His Majesty is perfectly normal.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Luo, this time I have to thank you for stepping in for me, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do."

Although Luo Yuanjun's age is dozens of times that of Li Zhangsheng, Li Zhangsheng's face is as thick as a city wall, and he was eager to pull closer his relationship with Luo Yuanjun.

Li Zhangsheng is very clear that the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind; the key is that he became a King at only 19 years old, and the attention he has drawn recently is truly too great, so it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will secretly scheme against him.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng's sense of crisis was overflowing. To resolve the crisis, the best way is to use the tiger's skin—to use a powerful background to intimidate the petty, and thereby survive the most difficult period.

Li Zhangsheng was already mentally prepared to pay a price; after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so why would others help you for no reason?

He and the Qingmu King are acquainted, and both sides have a connection of interests; looking at the current situation, how could he not pull the banner of the Human Emperor?

After the two exchanged some words, Luo Yuanjun pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Li, are you interested in joining our Human Emperor Mansion?"

"Brother Luo, I am naturally very interested!"

Having absorbed the memories of many Kings and even Double-Character Kings, how could Li Zhangsheng not know some information about the Human Emperor Mansion?

The entry standards for the Human Emperor Mansion are very high; at the very least, one must be a King to join. However, ordinary Kings who want to join the Human Emperor Mansion must pass a series of extremely rigorous tests.

The Human Emperor Mansion not only possesses numerous benefits, but more importantly, the Human Emperor Mansion is a loose organization, and only gathers its members at specific times.

The reason for this is mainly that the status of a King is too high, and everyone's time is very precious; most of the time, they focus on improving themselves, as everyone wants to go further.

It is not just the Human Emperor Mansion; all organizations composed of Kings and Double-Character Kings under the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors are all uniformly loose.

That is to say, except for specific times when they need to complete tasks assigned by the organization, the rest of the time is very free.

Luo Yuanjun pondered for a moment and said, "Although I hold the position of Vice Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion, I do not have the authority to let you join the Human Emperor Mansion without a test. If you want to join the Human Emperor Mansion, you must pass the test."

"What kind of test?"

Li Zhangsheng was quite curious about the test of the Human Emperor Mansion.

"I will give you two choices: either follow the process and pass a series of tests, though even if everything goes smoothly, it will take at least half a year—this is relatively safe and has little danger. The second choice is to independently kill three Demon Commanders; this shouldn't be difficult for you, but accidents could occur. Well, which one do you choose?"

Li Zhangsheng could independently kill a Demon Commander before becoming a King, so now it goes without saying.

"I choose the second one!"

With almost no hesitation, Li Zhangsheng chose to kill three Demon Commanders.

The reason is simple: what he lacks most is time.

Li Zhangsheng's protection period has just over two months left. If he cannot join the Human Emperor Mansion before then, it is very likely that some Stronger will have designs on him. If he is unlucky, he might even be targeted by a Supreme Being, and by then, he might not even have a chance to resist.

Li Zhangsheng's current strength is roughly equivalent to a Top King. Even if he cannot beat a Double-Character King, he still has a good chance of escaping, but if he faces an Emperor Rank or an Emperor, he won't even have a chance to escape.

There is no way around it; the gap is too large.

For the sake of his life, he must take precautions and use the tiger's skin of the Human Emperor Mansion before he is strong enough.

Soon, the two finished their discussion, and after Luo Yuanjun's consciousness disappeared, Li Zhangsheng's consciousness also withdrew from the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

After becoming a King, Li Zhangsheng wanted to open up a Secret Realm at the first opportunity; only by possessing a Secret Realm can one be considered a true King.
