Jian Wushuang stood in the meeting hall while the rest of the figures were sitting on chairs .

These figures were all Temple Masters, and there were nine of them in total .
The only person here that Jian Wushuang knew was Temple Master Pure Moon . He had never met the other eight Temple Masters, who, at this very moment, were staring at him as if he was a monster .
“He comprehended the Slaughter Dao while still in the Saint Realm and had the battle strength of a superior emperor, which was simply incredible . It’s a pity that such a peerless genius is an outsider and not originally from our Monster Continent . ”
The Temple Masters whispered .
“Jian Wushuang,”
Temple Master Pure Moon suddenly spoke, “You killed Emperor Golden Snake during the Life-death Duel, so your strength is already equal to a superior emperor . Hence, you can become a Divine Emperor of our Monster-exterminating League in place of Golden Snake . Are you willing to take the position?”
If Jian Wushuang had been from the Monster Continent, he would definitely agree to become a Divine Emperor without any hesitation .
But he was an outsider, so he had to personally agree before they could appoint him as a Divine Emperor .
“Divine Emperor?” Jian Wushuang thought for a moment before nodding . “Yes . ”
His strength had a lot of room for improvement and he was not in a hurry to leave the Monster Continent . Furthermore, he wanted to make use of some resources from the Monster-exterminating League to enhance his strength . Therefore, he definitely had to become a Divine Emperor .
“Being a Divine Emperor comes with some obligations that I hope you can meet . After all, the resources of the Monster-exterminating League can’t be used for free,” said Temple Master Pure Moon .

“No problem . ” Jian Wushuang nodded again .
It was natural that he would have to perform certain duties if he wanted to receive rewards .
“Since you’re a Divine Emperor now, you can give yourself a title,” said Temple Master Pure Moon .
All of the Divine Emperors and Temple Masters of the Monster-exterminating League used their own titles, so few people knew their real names .
“Title…” Jian Wushuang thought for a while before he said with a smile, “In my hometown, experts at the Divine Emperor level are called sovereigns . Plus, my surname, Jian, means sword and I’m good at Sword Principle . So, from today on, I’ll be known as Sword Emperor . ”
“Sword Emperor?” Temple Master Pure Moon nodded slightly . “I’ll quickly spread the news that you have been appointed as a Divine Emperor . After that, it won’t take long for the information to spread to the human population and the Demonic Beasts . Everyone on the Monster Continent will hear about your title, Sword Emperor . ”
Jian Wushuang gave a faint smile, but he didn’t really care .
“Sword Emperor . ” Just then, a bearded middle-aged man, who was sitting on one of the seats, opened his mouth .
After hearing this middle-aged man’s voice, Temple Master Pure Moon and the other Temple Masters had strange expressions on their faces .
The middle-aged man was none other than Temple Master Iceberg!
If it had not been for him, the Life-death Duel between Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake wouldn’t have even happened .

“Do you have anything to say, Temple Master Iceberg?” Temple Master Pure Moon asked with great interest .
Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately looked at Temple Master Iceberg .
“Ha ha . ” Temple Master Iceberg smiled with a soft face as he looked at Jian Wushuang in a very friendly manner . “I just want to apologize to you, Sword Emperor . ”
“Apologize?” The other Temple Masters’ expressions changed a bit .
Jian Wushuang’s expression also changed slightly .
“Alas!” Temple Master Iceberg let out a light sigh and said, “I watched Golden Snake grow up, step by step, and he had always been extremely respectful to me . When he came to me, begging, I promised to give him a hand for the sake of the respect he had shown me all these years . ”
“I was wrong, but I hope you don’t take it amiss, Sword Emperor . If you’re discontented with me, say it out . I can offer some treasures or Monster Cores as compensation . ”
Temple Master Iceberg’s words were very sincere as if he was really apologizing to Jian Wushuang .
His behavior greatly surprised Temple Master Pure Moon and the others .
After all, Temple Master Iceberg ranked third among the Temple Masters in the Monster-exterminating League . Besides, he had always been quite domineering . Few of the other Temple Masters dared to provoke him .
For that reason, when he came forward on behalf of Emperor Golden Snake, few Temple Masters dared to not give him face .

But now, Temple Master Iceberg, who was usually so domineering, actually made amends to a Divine Emperor of his own accord?
Did the sun rise in the east?
Even Jian Wushuang felt a bit overwhelmed at the moment .
“What’s going on with Temple Master Iceberg?” He frowned secretly .
Temple Master Iceberg stood up for Emperor Golden Snake and had indeed provoked Jian Wushuang this time, but Jian Wushuang knew himself very well . Although he had the battle strength of a superior emperor, it was very likely that his strength was nothing in the eyes Temple Master Iceberg, so he didn’t need to make amends at all .
However, Temple Master Iceberg did apologize . Additionally, he didn’t put on airs and even apologized to him in the presence of all the other Temple Masters .
Although Jian Wushuang didn’t understand and didn’t want to let it go that simply, he didn’t want to fall out with Temple Master Iceberg on the surface . “Temple Master Iceberg, it doesn’t matter . It was mainly Emperor Golden Snake’s fault and you had little to do with it . I don’t blame you . ”
“Thank you, Sword Emperor . ” Temple Master Iceberg had a kind expression on his face .
“Temple Masters, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave . ” After that, Jian Wushuang saluted towards the Temple Masters and turned to walk away .
He had barely managed to exit when Temple Master Iceberg proceeded to follow him out as well .
This left Temple Master Pure Moon and the others even more confused .
“Is there something wrong with Temple Master Iceberg today?”
“Tsk, Temple Master Iceberg, who is known for being extremely overbearing, actually apologized to a Divine Emperor of his own accord . This is not his usual style . ”
“I feel there must be something fishy going on here . ”
All these Temple Masters talked and laughed casually . They were not fools, so they all understood that Temple Master Iceberg must have acted that way because he had some hidden intentions .
But they didn’t know what these hidden intentions were exactly .
Temple Master Iceberg kept up with Jian Wushuang .
“Sword Emperor . ” Temple Master Iceberg came to Jian Wushuang .
Jian Wushuang stopped and asked in amazement . “What can I do for you, Temple Master Iceberg?”
“I do need your help with a small matter . ” Temple Master Iceberg was all smiles and gently said, “Well, let’s talk as we walk . ”
Jian Wushuang was vigilant in the heart, but he continued to walk with Temple Master Iceberg .
After all, this was the Holy Palace . Temple Master Iceberg was a Temple Master and was a powerful force in the Monster-exterminating League, so he wouldn’t attack Jian Wushuang overtly here .
“I’d like to figure out exactly what this Temple Master Iceberg is up to . ” Jian Wushuang thought secretly .
