Right at this moment, someone entered from outside and reported respectfully, "Empress, Lin Fan's whereabouts have been found!"

Hu Mei'er was suddenly immensely excited and stood up to ask, "Quickly, where exactly is Lin Fan?"

Seeing Hu Mei'er's current state, the messenger couldn't help but feel a bit frightened, but he suppressed his fear and respectfully said, "A few days ago, Lin Fan returned to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and, we have already received reliable information that on the fifteenth of this month, Lin Fan plans to declare himself emperor in Cloud West City of the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"What?"

Hu Mei'er cursed outright: "This damn bastard, is he finally planning to openly oppose me? Good, this makes it easier for me to fight openly at last, only by dealing with Lin Fan can I continue my conquest and climb the Martial Path!"

"Lin Fan, you have blocked my path forward, so I swear, I will slay you with my sword and use you as a stepping stone to reach the Peak of the Martial Path!"

The month passed quickly.

On this day, the entire Cloud West City was bustling with excitement.

Eighty percent of the city lords from within the Ten Thousand Mountains had already arrived.

Perhaps, there were some among them who deep down did not approve of Lin Fan declaring himself emperor, but they also knew that the future of the Ten Thousand Mountains was now under Lin Fan's control, and if they did not submit to Lin Fan, their path ahead would be incredibly difficult.

Thus, many attended the ceremony with a wait-and-see attitude.

The whole ceremony of declaring the emperorship was carried out in an orderly fashion.

All the city lords from the Ten Thousand Mountains were waiting quietly in the grand square of Cloud West City, standing there and awaiting Lin Fan's arrival.

Among those present, many had actually never seen Lin Fan.

At this moment, curiosity couldn't help but surge in their hearts—just what did Lin Fan, who dared to contend for the world with the Empress, look like?

"The Great Emperor arrives!"

At that moment, someone called out loudly.

Lin Fan appeared surrounded by a throng of experts.

"Hmm?"

Everyone, upon seeing Lin Fan in that instant, couldn't help but be stunned, and some even couldn't believe their own eyes, the only thought in their minds being, "This Lin Fan, he's so young?"

Lin Fan reached the highest position.

"Greetings, Great Emperor!"

Many bowed respectfully.

"Hmm!"

Lin Fan waved his hand and then loudly said, "Alright everyone, there's no need for such formalities!"

Lin Fan's voice sounded very calm.

At the same time, Lin Fan's eyes slowly swept across the crowd.

After a while, Lin Fan continued to say, "City lords, to tell the truth, I am truly grateful that you all came to attend my ceremony today, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!"

"However, I also know that among you present, there are indeed some who are very reluctant to accept this!"

"How about this, if anyone feels dissatisfied, they can come out and fight me. Whoever, if anyone can defeat me, I will not claim the title of emperor, and they can take the emperor's position!"

After Lin Fan's words fell, many looked at him with very peculiar gazes.

Lin Fan, daring to accept the challenge from everyone present?

They could see that at this moment, Lin Fan only possessed the power of the Saint Realm.

Yet, among the many city lords present, their Cultivation had already reached the Holy Venerate Realm.

In their eyes, Lin Fan of the Saint Realm was merely an insignificant existence like an ant.

"How about it?"

At that moment, after Lin Fan's eyes swept over everyone once more, he said again, "Is there really no one among you willing to challenge me? If so, if no one is willing to challenge me, then I will take it that everyone present is willing to accept the fact that I become the Great Emperor."

"I declare, once you accept this fact, from now on, you must always be loyal to me, and if anyone dares to betray, don't blame me, Lin Fan, for not being polite, hehe!"

Just as Lin Fan's words finished, suddenly someone stepped forward, saying, "Please wait!"

The one who stepped forward was a middle-aged man, the City Lord of Sky Patrol City.

Sky Patrol City is one of the ten major cities in the entire Ten Thousand Mountains, and its city lord is also one of the ten top experts of the whole Ten Thousand Mountains.

Moreover, the City Lord of Sky Patrol City is extremely proud.

Naturally, he could not tolerate Lin Fan, who had not even fully matured, to rule over him.

"Oh?"

Lin Fan looked towards the Sky Patrol City Lord and lightly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the City Lord of Sky Patrol City, right?"

The City Lord of Sky Patrol City coldly said, "Correct, I am the City Lord of Sky Patrol City!"

Lin Fan nodded, then asked again, "Does the City Lord of Sky Patrol City intend to challenge me?"

The City Lord of Sky Patrol City continued to sneer, saying, "I'm not challenging you; I just want to test whether you truly qualify to declare yourself emperor."

Lin Fan said, "Yes, you're right, whether I qualify to declare myself emperor indeed needs to be tested. Well then, City Lord of Sky Patrol City, strike me now, if you can defeat me, I will pass the qualification to declare emperorship to you."

"Really?" the City Lord of Sky Patrol City asked.

Lin Fan said, "A promise that carries much weight!"

"Alright!"

The City Lord of Sky Patrol City spoke loudly, "Then forgive my offense!"

While speaking, the body of the City Lord of Sky Patrol City suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already by Lin Fan's side, simultaneously, the City Lord of Sky Patrol City swung his fist, like a crushing star, smashing towards Lin Fan.

At the same time, the City Lord of Sky Patrol City secretly thought in his heart: "Hmph, with just a little bit of Cultivation, it's doubtful he can even withstand one of my moves, yet he dares to be so arrogant?"

The City Lord of Sky Patrol City was very confident that he could definitely handle Lin Fan within just a few moves.

Moreover, when the City Lord of Sky Patrol City made his move, Lin Fan remained quietly standing there, as if he completely didn't see the City Lord of Sky Patrol City's attack.

"Hmm?"

Everyone witnessing this scene couldn't help but be stunned.

Many thought, "What is Lin Fan doing?"

"This Lin Fan dares to declare himself emperor? I used to think he at least had some real power in 리션이 그가 갖고 있는 힘을 인식하고 있었는데, 지금 판ר

"The idea that he's declaring himself emperor with such ability is simply a joke!"

In that instant, many looked at Lin Fan with an eye as if seeing an idiot.

In their view, Lin Fan was simply being a buffoon, staging his own foolishness.
