Strongest War Emperor

Before Shen Lang could speak, Tie Feng let out a strange cackle from the crowd and said, "What the hell do you know? Who needs those three things to create an Elements Mansion? As long as the Lord makes a move, creating eight or ten Elements Mansions is a matter of minutes!"

Qian Luo seized the opportunity to step forward and chime in, "That's right! What's an Elements Mansion, anyway? With the Lord here, it's child's play!"

Seeing the shameless faces of this sycophantic duo, the other War Wolf members couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The War Wolf members were an organization comprised of individuals from various sects, tasked with carrying out special missions.

Most of them spent the vast majority of their lives in the shadows.

They were cold-blooded and efficient, but their interpersonal skills were clearly lacking.

Now, watching Tie Feng and Qian Luo's blatant sycophancy, everyone except Xie Ge and You Yue, who knew the truth, felt a little uncomfortable.

Sycophants, no matter the place or occasion, were always met with disdain.

This was especially true for petty individuals who disregarded facts and spouted baseless, over-the-top praise.

In that moment, everyone saw Tie Feng and Qian Luo as such petty men. In fact, that rascal Qian Luo already had a reputation for being one!

Most of them were unaware that Shen Lang had helped the Five War Wolf Commanders create their Elements Mansions.

They also knew how difficult it was to create an Elements Mansion… Even with an Exotic Treasure like the Water Spirit Pearl, the process could still take a significant amount of time.

Success depended on both talent and opportunity.

As far as most of the War Wolf members knew, one of the Five War Wolf Commanders, Ying Huo, despite his Xuanwu Realm Seventh Heaven Cultivation, had only managed to create three Elements Mansions.

Creating a fourth Elements Mansion remained a distant dream for him.

And that was to say nothing of the ordinary members of War Wolf.

Most of these War Wolf members were at the Xuanwu Realm Fourth or Fifth Heaven and had generally only created two Elements Mansions.

To be able to use the Wood Spirit Pearl and Water Spirit Pearl to create two more Elements Mansions, even if it took eight or ten years, would be an incredible stroke of luck!

Yet this scoundrel Tie Feng's flattery was so exaggerated and shameless!

And for Qian Luo, the one from the Holy Light Sect, to chime in so shamelessly was simply preposterous!

The group of War Wolf members stood there, their sharp eyes glaring from behind their masks, filled with contempt and disdain for Qian Luo and Tie Feng.

'It's a disgrace to be associated with people like them!'

'How could the Lord let two characters like them join War Wolf?'

'Although the Lord is indeed powerful, extremely powerful, an outsider helping to create an Elements Mansion usually just means telling the person about the mansion's structure, the method for creating it, and their own experiences.'

'Beyond that, there was no other substantial help they could offer.'

'Otherwise, wouldn't the disciples of the Major Sects and Great Noble Families all be able to reach Elements Mansion Great Perfection with eight mansions, all thanks to the help of their elders?'

'That's completely impossible!'

Creating an Elements Mansion, aside from relying on Exotic Treasures like the Wood Spirit Pearl, depended entirely on the Martial Artist themself.

With the help of the Wood Spirit Pearl and Water Spirit Pearl, creating a Wood Element Mansion and a Water Element Mansion was already enough to get everyone excited.

And yet Tie Feng claimed creating eight or ten Elements Mansions was a matter of minutes…

'Never mind how hard it is to create them in the first place—who the hell has ever heard of someone creating ten Elements Mansions?'

'The traditional definition of Elements Mansion Great Perfection is eight mansions, isn't it?'

'You could barely find anyone with eight in the entire Western Wilderness!'

Just as the crowd was rolling their eyes and distancing themselves from Tie Feng and his partner, Duanmu Xie, who was standing behind them, could no longer bear to watch.

As a Zombie Emperor, he naturally had no interest in the chatter of Xuanwu Realm Martial Artists. But he couldn't stand by and listen to a few juniors spouting such nonsense in his presence.

More importantly, these two morons were trying to outdo him in the flattery department!

'This is intolerable!'

'Damn it, I've been trying so hard to suck up to him for so long that even I'm starting to blush.'

'Are you two morons really that much more shameless than I am?'

'An Elements Mansion isn't like a couple of Spirit Stones you can just hand out whenever you want!'

'The Lord's methods may be incredible, but even he is helpless when it comes to something like an Elements Mansion!'

'And they have the gall to say creating "eight or ten Elements Mansions" is a matter of minutes?'

'Have they no shame?'

'That's an obvious factual error!'

'Flattery requires skill! It must be based in fact, don't you know?'

'This kind of nonsensical flattery is an insult to the art of flattery itself!'

Duanmu Xie snorted coldly. "Little fellow, you'd best be more honest in front of the Lord. Don't think you can just spout some random flattery and expect the Lord to reward you!"

"We must base our claims on facts… Do you think an Elements Mansion is something you can just conjure up at will? You're spouting nonsense, claiming the Lord can help everyone create them. What happens when he can't deliver? Are you trying to make the Lord lose face on purpose?"

The crowd snickered.

They wouldn't dare criticize Tie Feng and his partner in front of Shen Lang, but Duanmu Xie was an Emperor Martial Realm expert. Watching him put these two morons in their place was incredibly satisfying.

Seeing that he had the crowd's support, Duanmu Xie grew even more spirited. "Furthermore, in all the heavens and earth, have you ever seen anyone create ten Elements Mansions?"

"Eight is already Great Perfection, don't you know? That's common knowledge! You two wastes, how are you fit to be the Lord's subordinates? I think you have ulterior motives!"

Xie Ge rolled her eyes dramatically, while a small smile played on You Yue's lips as she shook her head.

'With these morons around, things are certainly lively.'

Meanwhile, Tie Feng and Qian Luo grimaced… They were unconvinced and wanted to argue, but they were so terrified of Duanmu Xie that they didn't dare provoke him.

The legendary Zombie Emperor, a Zombie at the Peak of the Emperor Martial Realm Ninth Heaven, could probably kill them both with a single breath.

He probably wouldn't do it, but it was better to be safe than sorry…

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Duanmu Xie grew even more smug. He let out a cackle, preparing to continue his "critique" of Tie Feng.

"What's all the commotion? Shut up!" Shen Lang finally lost his patience. "Do you think I have all day to deal with this? Will this pointless squabbling ever end?"

Duanmu Xie choked back the words he had been about to say.

He gave an awkward laugh, about to say something to save face, but before he could speak, his eyes, swirling with Death Qi, froze in place…

POP, POP, POP…

Right before the eyes of Duanmu Xie and the crowd, ethereal projections of Elements Mansions began to appear one after another around Shen Lang!

A Water Element Mansion, a Gold Element Mansion, a Thunder Element Mansion…

Ten Elements Mansions in total!

Perfectly formed, each one radiating a powerful pressure, the Elements Mansions simply floated in the air around Shen Lang.

They were projections of the Elements Mansions within his body—mere phantoms.

But they accurately revealed the true form of the mansions surrounding Shen Lang's Pill Sea!

Shen Lang paid no mind to Duanmu Xie's dumbfounded expression.

He produced a thin stalk of green bamboo from out of nowhere and used it to point at the Elements Mansions in the air.

Then, Shen Lang began to speak. "The Wood Spirit Pearl and Water Spirit Pearl are mainly for you to absorb Spiritual Qi, strengthen yourselves, and comprehend the various Realms. But for the Elements Mansions, you won't need them. I will help all of you create ten Elements Mansions as quickly as possible, allowing you to achieve Elements Mansion Great Perfection."

"…" Everyone, except for Xie Ge, You Yue, and the few others who were in on the secret, was completely dumbstruck.

'Holy shit, someone actually managed to create ten Elements Mansions!'

'The Lord actually created the legendary, never-before-seen Yin and Yang Element Mansions!'

'And he's saying he'll help us create ten Elements Mansions too?'

'If that's the case… does that mean what Tie Feng and Qian Luo said wasn't flattery, but the truth?'

Everyone felt their heads spinning.

Even though the War Wolf members were all mentally resilient, the sight left them dazed and struggling to wrap their minds around what was happening.

Shen Lang continued, speaking like a teacher giving a lecture, "Creating ten Elements Mansions is child's play for me. I can give you ten within half an hour, but how many you can receive will depend on your Cultivation."

"Whoa!" The thirty-odd members of War Wolf could no longer contain themselves and erupted into a collective uproar.

"Quiet!" Shen Lang said, waving the green bamboo. "If your Cultivation is too weak, you won't be able to maintain and consolidate the Elements Mansions I give you. They will simply collapse."

"Only with a strong enough Cultivation can you consolidate these mansions and fully complete their Refinement for your own use. This will take time, and it will require effort that surpasses that of ordinary people…"

The eyes of every War Wolf member gleamed. Though they said nothing, the look in their eyes was clear: to obtain ten Elements Mansions, they would risk their very lives!

Shen Lang added, "After I created three Elements Mansions for Xie Ge and You Yue, it took them about half a year to fully consolidate them. The time you'll need may be even longer."

"But within two years, I expect every member of War Wolf to achieve Elements Mansion Great Perfection by creating ten Elements Mansions."

Hearing Shen Lang's casual words, the breathing of the thirty-plus War Wolf members grew heavy, their eyes filling with fanatical fervor!

Two years!

Ten Elements Mansions! Great Perfection!

This was the stuff of legends!

Something that should have been completely impossible!

Something they couldn't have even dreamed of!

Yet now, it was real. And this opportunity came with no special conditions, no requirements for innate talent!

Qian Luo stepped out from the crowd, a look of righteous conviction on his face. "What is such a short amount of time to a Martial Artist? For the Lord to create Elements Mansions for us is an unimaginably great opportunity. My Lord, you can rest assured, we will all work hard…"

The other War Wolf members nearly wanted to kick him to death.

'Damn it, when did this traitor from the Holy Light Sect get to speak for us?'

After saying this, Qian Luo's expression immediately changed. He put on a fawning look and said to Shen Lang, "My Lord, I was the first to witness this miracle! I saw your heaven-defying methods back in the Barbaric lands. Could you let me be the first?"

The words had barely left his mouth when several hands shot out from behind him and jabbed him twice in the waist!

BZZZZT!

A powerful surge of Thunder Power instantly engulfed Qian Luo. The poor, defenseless fool was knocked unconscious and dragged back into the crowd.
