Chapter 644: You Don’t Know How Powerful an Earth Immortal Expert Is (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A terrifying aura spread throughout the Great Xia Imperial Court.
Everyone found it difficult to breathe. Yin Changhao, who had just been forced back by the young man’s attack, erupted with a towering aura again.
But this time, he didn’t attack. Instead, he moved three meters to the side and stood in front of Emperor Yuan Feng.
“There’s no need to be so nervous. If I wanted to do something, you would already be dead.”
The young man didn’t make a move. He shook his head and said, “The world is stupid and ignorant. When they don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, they often overestimate themselves and try to do things beyond their capabilities.
“If I don’t show you my strength, I’m afraid you won’t believe me.”
The young man smiled. “Now, you should be able to see. With my strength, if I have any ill intentions toward you, I don’t need to waste my breath with you at all.”
“You talk too much.” Emperor Yuan Feng was originally being protected behind Yin Changhao and Eunuch Zhang, but he stubbornly stood out and looked at the young man. “If you’re really here to help, shouldn’t you tell me your name first?”
After all, Emperor Yuan Feng was the ruler of a country. His personality was usually a little soft, but at a critical moment, he still revealed the domineering aura of a ruler.
“There’s no harm in telling you.” The young man smiled. “Zheng Yongtai. You can call me Young Master Zheng.”
The young man stood among the officials of Great Xia with his hands behind his back. Even though he was surrounded by several first-rank martial artists, his expression didn’t change.
“Zheng Yongtai?” Emperor Yuan Feng frowned slightly. “I’ve never heard of this name. It seems that you’re just a nameless pawn.”
“Great Xia Emperor, has anyone ever told you that your words are really unlikeable?” A hint of helplessness flashed across the young man’s face.
“That’s true,” Emperor Yuan Feng said. “Young Master Zheng, right? Since you’re here to help, tell me what your conditions are.”
Emperor Yuan Feng wasn’t a fool. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
This person appeared at the critical moment when Great Xia was facing a crisis. Emperor Yuan Feng definitely wouldn’t believe that he wouldn’t ask for anything in return.
But if this person thought that he could threaten Great Xia with this, he was wrong.
“Although you’re not very likable, you’re still a sensible person.” Zheng Yongtai smiled. “I like dealing with sensible people the most. Since I’ve said so much, I’ll be straightforward.
“I want Great Xia’s Forging Division.”
“Forging Division?” Emperor Yuan Feng frowned.
“That’s right. Great Xia’s Forging Division, all the Grand Craftsmen, Forging Masters, Forging Apprentices, and forging materials. Oh right, the orders as well,” Zheng Yongtai said.
The Forging Division was now the lifeline of Great Xia. By selling weapons to the various nations, Great Xia’s national treasury had already begun to fill up. If not for this matter with the Demon God Sect, in a few years, the national strength of Great Xia would definitely return to its peak.
How could he cut off an arm and give the Great Xia Forging Division to an outsider?
Without the Forging Division, even if Great Xia could survive this crisis, it would gradually decline in the future.
“Great Xia Emperor, don’t be so straightforward,” Zheng Yongtai said. “I’m afraid you still don’t know the true strength of the Demon God Sect.
“Let me tell you this. The Demon God Sect has a million people, and there are more than two hundred Grandmasters and above. They are even supported by experts above the first rank of the Martial Dao.”
Zheng Yongtai looked at Emperor Yuan Feng and continued, “Without my help, your Great Xia is destined to be destroyed this time.
“Don’t expect the other nations to mobilize many reinforcements. Even if they come out in full force, it’s useless. You don’t know how strong experts who surpass the first rank of the Martial Dao are.”
“Surpass the first rank of the Martial Dao?” Yin Changhao frowned and pointed his sword at Zheng Yongtai. “You’re an existence who has surpassed the first rank of the Martial Dao?”
He was a first-rank martial artist, and even among first-rank martial artists, he wasn’t considered weak. But his attack had been easily resolved by Zheng Yongtai, and the countershock had even forced him back a few steps.

It was acceptable to say that he was an expert above the first rank of the Martial Dao.
However…
What realm was above the first rank?
It had been countless years since an expert above the first rank had appeared on the Ten Nations Continent. No one knew what realm was above the first rank.
They still didn’t know that Zhou Shu, who was in the Demon Realm, had long broken through to the realm above the first rank.
Although Yin Wuyou more or less knew a little, she definitely wouldn’t publicize it. Therefore, Yin Changhao, including Emperor Yuan Feng and the others, didn’t know what the realm above the first rank was.
“Above the first rank is Earth Immortals.” Zheng Yongtai said proudly, “To tell you the truth, I’m at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.
“Inviting a peak Earth Immortal to help is worth it.
“Moreover, I can give you a promise. Even if the Forging Division falls into my hands, I can give you a discount when Great Xia purchases weapons in the future.”
“I said it’s impossible!” Emperor Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes coldly. “Great Xia can be destroyed, but its bones will not be broken! The citizens of Great Xia will definitely not be traded!
“Young Master Zheng, if you want to help the evildoers, feel free to attack. Although Great Xia might not be your match, we are not afraid of battle. We will just die.
“If not, please leave!”
Emperor Yuan Feng flicked his sleeves and sat down on the dragon throne again. He held the arms of the dragon throne with both hands and exuded the bearing of a great nation’s ruler.
