Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

The two elders didn't speak much with Ye Ling, offering some words of encouragement before leaving first, worn out from a busy day.

However, after the two old men left, another pair of elders entered, radiating a celestial aura, clad in Taoist robes, their complexions ruddy.

Following them was Daoist Qing Mu, the descendant of Lü Dongbin, who introduced Ye Ling to the identities of these two elders.

The Guardian Gods of Huaxia, the two elders were ancient relics of Huaxia, terrifying powerhouses who had emerged from Shennongjia centuries before.

These two powerhouses were virtually the recognized titans of the Cultivation Realm in name, serving a role similar to that of coordinators. Whenever cultivators had disagreements or conflicts that escalated to battles, the two would step forward to mediate.

They commanded respect from all major families, or to put it another way, they were held in awe for their formidable strength, as both were at the pinnacle of Golden Core, and had even terrifyingly advanced to the fringes of Tribulation Transcending.

These two were absolutely on par with the Pharaoh, and possibly even stronger; after all, the thousands of years of cultivation heritage in Huaxia was definitely not something common powerhouses could match in depth.

After Daoist Qing Mu finished introducing them, Ye Ling showed his respect by clasping his fists in greeting to the two elders. These were two men worthy of respect.

"We've heard about your actions abroad, and we old fellows won't beat around the bush," one of the elders said.

"At this point, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you a Guardian of Huaxia, just as Daoist Qing Mu is also a protector of Huaxia."

"However, you still lack an official title right now. You must know that official recognition could be very useful to you," the elder rambled on.

Hearing this, Ye Ling realized that these two elders were intent on tying him to their chariot, ready to be summoned for missions at any moment.

"No need, Alliance Hierarchs, really no need. If there's trouble, I, Ye Ling, will definitely rise to the occasion without shirking any responsibility. As for official recognition, let's forget about that."

Ye Ling hurriedly refused, as the idea struck him as absurd. Official recognition was useless; with his wealth and assets, what if he were investigated for corruption one day? Now was more carefree.

"Are you certain? No regrets?" one of the old men asked with a gentle smile, a sharp glint flitting through his cloudy eyes.

Ye Ling was taken aback, sensing that the sharp gleam was unfriendly. He quickly nodded, "As a grown man, of course, my word is my bond."

"Don't worry. If anything comes up, I'll go after the bastards. No one dares make trouble on our turf. I'll make sure they won't recognize their own mothers after I'm done with them."

Hearing Ye Ling speak in such a way, the old man laughed, "Since you said so, let's leave it. It's a pity about the position of the Guardian God of Huaxia, which has remained vacant since the emergence of Huaxia."

"It's a position that could consolidate the power of the entire Cultivation Realm of Huaxia, and even the dragon vein energy of all Huaxia would nourish the Guardian God."

"Moreover, we two old folks were thinking that if you really agreed, then those wives of yours might actually gain a formal status. We two old immortals could perhaps give you some assistance."

"But we didn't expect you to be someone whose word is as good as his bond. Let it be then, Ye Ling, do your best, and strive to make our country proud in the future."

Struck by the elder's words like a bolt of thunder, Ye Ling immediately grasped one elder's hand, pleading softly, "Grandpa, you can't play me like this, what's the fun in that?"

"Who else but me would dare take the position of Guardian God? I swear, I'll twist off their heads if they try. Rest assured, I'll fulfill my duty!"

Ye Ling vowed earnestly, though inside he was churning with waves. Of course, he knew the benefits of being the Guardian God.

The Guardian God, an entity that led the Cultivation Realm, was the sovereign of the cultivators in its truest sense, whose word was law.

More importantly, a nation with a dragon vein, especially Huaxia, boasts a dragon vein beneath the Imperial Capital that's considered the peak of the world, and the Guardian God can be nourished by this dragon vein at any time.

For Ye Ling, this was simply an irresistible offer. What's more, the two elders even said they could resolve the status issues for the women in his family.

Stop kidding, you couldn't find such a good deal with a lantern even if you walked two li, how could he possibly miss it?

"Rest assured, both of you, no one dares to violate the might of Huaxia!" Ye Ling assured them. At that moment, his blood boiled with pride and responsibility.

Of course, if you ask a beggar about pride and responsibility, I bet not only will he ignore you, he'll also spit in your face.

What a joke, without the capability, naturally one would not shoulder such responsibility; it's all relative.

"Good, Ye Ling, the two of us believe in you. You will do well. When it's time for the ceremony, we will arrange for your appearance. At that time, you will hold the Guardian Seal!"

The elders' eyes were ablaze with excitement, utterly thrilled.

Keep in mind, the group of recluses in Shennongjia, who shun worldly affairs, would be best represented by someone of Shenfeng's caliber coming out of seclusion.

But these individuals simply couldn't stand toe-to-toe with the powerful figures from abroad, which was part of the reason why the Bureau of Superpowers did not hold as much international clout as desired.

Yet once Ye Ling stepped forward, having just stunned the entire West, the moment Ye Ling formally became the Guardian God, his deterrent power would instantly spread across the world.

By then, he would become the best choice in every aspect.

Ye Ling left, bouncing away, his heart buzzing with excitement. He thought surely all the women would be thrilled this time. Although they often said they didn't need status, when it really came down to it, would they refuse?

Stop joking, they'd definitely pin Ye Ling to the bed and battle until dawn to celebrate. Thinking about this, Ye Ling's eyes gleamed like a Hungry Wolf's.

After Ye Ling left, Qing Mu Daoist appeared beside the two elders, a smile on his face.

"Grandmaster Qing Mu, we really owe you one this time. Otherwise, we truly wouldn't have been able to persuade that kid Ye Ling. I tell you, he's a crafty one," an elder said with a chuckle, while Grandmaster Qing Mu just shook his head: "Don't say that; it's a blessing for all of Huaxia."

"Moreover, the position of a Grandmaster isn't something just anyone can hold steady. Perhaps only someone as defiant as him could do it. Let's hope the benefits of being a Guardian God are as amazing as the ancient texts say."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid this guy will cause an uproar for you two, haha."

The advantages of the Grandmaster's position were also something Qing Mu Daoist read about in ancient books. Whether it had such terrifying effects, he genuinely did not know.

The two elders paused, then burst into laughter. With someone like Ye Ling, once he had accepted, he would definitely not back down. Of course, they allowed for a bit of grumbling.

Outside his residence, Ye Ling bounced all the way to his Jeep, opened the door, and hopped in, full of vigor and enthusiasm.

"How did it go? What reward did they give you? Tell us about it, it must be good," Mo Xing asked eagerly, as if the reward was for him.

Ye Ling grinned, "Heh, you'd be scared stiff."

The three of them were taken aback as Ye Ling gently uttered three words. Suddenly, they were struck dumb, their minds going blank as if struck by lightning.
