I Am Overlord

Chapter 1548: Di Clan

Chapter 1548: Di Clan

Xiang Yangzhan only released a strand of his God Realm energy, but it gave everyone present a massive pressure, as though a massive boulder was pressing against their chest. Breathing became hard, especially for the ones who had displayed their disdain for Xiang Yangzhan.

So strong, everyone exclaimed inwardly as their opinion of him changed completely.

Even Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch changed how they looked at him when they sensed how strong he was. They had assumed that Xiang Yangzhan was only a late-stage Saint. Surprisingly, he was actually so terrifyingly strong. He must have stumbled upon a rather extraordinary fortuitous encounter.

Xiang Shaoyun knew that Xiang Yangzhan was merely establishing his status in the sect, so he remained silent. Xiang Yangzhan did not push it too far. He withdrew his aura, chortled, and said, “I have one thing to announce. I hereby pass on the sect master’s position to my son, Xiang Shaoyun. From today onward, he will be in charge of the sect. I’m too old for this.”

A token then appeared in his hand. He tossed it over to Xiang Shaoyun. It wasn’t exactly an extremely valuable token, but it represented Xiang Shaoyun’s official appointment as the sect master.

“Father—” Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly called out.

However, Xiang Yangzhan interrupted him and said, “Yun’er, don’t bother. My mind is set.”

“Yes, Father,” answered Xiang Shaoyun when he saw the firm look in his father’s eyes. With that, he officially became the master of the Ziling Sect.

Next, Xiang Yangzhan vacated the main seat. Xiang Shaoyun took the main seat, looked at everyone, and said, “All of you are already aware of this, but he’s my father and the previous sect master. I am now the new master of the sect, and everyone here is one of my brothers who have gone through many hardships by my side. Today, I swear that so long as I’m alive, I will not treat anyone here unfairly. Not only will you be provided a large amount of cultivation resources, but your juniors will also receive appropriate support from the sect. All glory, splendor, wealth, and power shall be shared between all of us!”

“Thank you, sect master!” everyone said gratefully.

They knew Xiang Shaoyun well. They were confident he would be a good leader.

“Of course, the premise is your loyalty to the sect. Any traitors will have their entire family executed,” said Xiang Shaoyun as a domineering aura erupted from him.

Nobody doubted his ability to do so, and they inwardly decided to dedicate their devotion to the sect. Even ignoring Xiang Yangzhan’s strength as a God, Xiang Shaoyun himself would absolutely reach the peak of cultivation in the future. Those who were by his side right now would all be his senior followers when he reached the peak in the future. Massive benefits awaited them.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun sent some of the weaker members away and kept only the strongest ones behind. He then told them his plan to visit the Di Clan. He wouldn’t rashly try to destroy the Di Clan. Thus, his main goal was to save Yu Caidie and teach the Di Clan a harsh lesson. It wouldn’t be too late for him to properly destroy them in the future when a better opportunity presented itself.

Therefore, he was going to bring only the strongest ones among them with him. The others would stay behind to keep watch over the sect. Those he brought included Purple Lightning Marquis, Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, Green Ghost, Despair, Bing Busi, and Liu Qingchen. None of the people he picked was weaker than peak Saint Realm.

Xiang Yangzhan naturally would take part in the mission as well. How could he do nothing when his daughter-in-law had been kidnapped? As for the ten-winged angels, Xiang Shaoyun did not plan to bring them with him. Things weren’t desperate enough yet that he needed their help. In any case, he would feel better knowing that he had them watching over the sect.

As for the Holy Hall and the Xiang Clan, Xiang Shaoyun did not make use of their people either. Both organizations had their own territories to protect. Furthermore, they didn’t have a lot of Gods anyway. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xiang Shaoyun would keep them hidden as trump cards. After making all his arrangements, Xiang Shaoyun headed for the Di Flame Province with his people.

The Di Clan had taken over the Raging Flame Province and renamed it the Di Flame Province. As for their main territory, it was established in a place called Di Flame City. It used to be an unknown tiny city, but with the Di Clan making the place their base, the city was expanded into a massive city. Although it wasn’t comparable with Yu Clan City, it was still much larger than Ziling City. Even now, it was still in the middle of expanding, as the Di Clan aimed to build the city into an imperial city that would showcase the dignity of an imperial clan.

In ancient times, the Di Clan used to be an imperial clan. But after a massive calamity, they had disappeared from the Western Desert. Now that they had returned, it was clear that they had grown enough to rebuild their dynasty.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an easy feat to conquer the entire Western Desert. That was one of the reasons they had proposed an alliance with the Yu Clan. Only with the Yu Clan’s approval would they be able to conquer the Western Desert and share it between the two of them.

Of course, the second reason they looked for the Yu Clan was that Yu Caidie’s phoenix physique was a great fit for Di Mie. After having intercourse with Yu Caidie, Di Mie would be able to obtain the perfect phoenix battle physique. Not only would his strength grow, but he would also obtain a strong foundation for his future ascent into the God Realm.

Unlike other organizations who preferred basing their headquarters in lofty mountain ranges, the Di Clan based their organization in Di Flame City. The centermost part of the city was made their personal territory.

Powerful spatial seals that not even Saints could see through protected the place. That was the power of a god-grade formation, and the formation would mercilessly eliminate anyone who dared to intrude upon their place.

Beautiful constructions littered the city’s core area, such as the imperial palace, the pavilions, the buildings with dragon sculptures, the colored glasses, the jade roof tiles, the majestic red paint, the rock gardens, the running streams, the countless flowers, and the beautiful trees. The place was like a paradise where enchanting scenery would unfold before one’s eyes with each step one took.

Naturally, only those who once tasted the peak of opulence could construct a place so beautiful. A regular cultivator wouldn’t even think of constructing a place like this. Apart from their strength, having a top-tier God Realm formation master was also one of the reasons they had once managed to form a dynasty.

God Realm formation masters could not only search for top-tier crystal veins but also lay down powerful offensive and defensive formations. Additionally, formation masters could create some unique diagrams such as the Divine Travel Diagram, an item only a God Realm formation master could produce. An ordinary God would not be able to create something like that.

Furthermore, the Di Clan also possessed the phoenix bloodline, a bloodline that ensured their continued strength. It was rumored that an ancestor of the Di Clan had once copulated with a phoenix. Because of that, the descendants of that ancestor came to possess the bloodline of phoenixes, gaining an enhancement in their combat capabilities.
