"You're back! That's what matters!"
The Golden Roc Immortal Emperor looked Lin Xiao over and grinned. "Good lad! That physique, that aura—you're stronger than before by who knows how much! That old Fire Spirit really knows his craft!"
Lin Xiao stepped forward and cupped his fists solemnly to Immortal Emperor Yun Yi, the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang, and the others. "I returned from Nirvana, as promised. Sorry to have worried you, seniors."
His voice was steady and strong, carrying the fresh vitality of Nirvana.
"Good, good, good!" Immortal Emperor Yun Yi said, his eyes full of relief.
With a wave of his hand, Fang Chen released Fire Spirit, the Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine from the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
Fire Spirit was one of those who deserved credit this time.
Immortal Emperor Yun Yi immediately bowed to Fire Spirit. "Daoist Friend Fire Spirit, thank you for your efforts!"
Fire Spirit shook his head vigorously. "It was nothing, nothing!"
After following Fang Chen into the Sea of Laws, Fire Spirit had truly had his eyes opened.
The Golden Roc Immortal Emperor walked up to Fire Spirit and said with a smile, "Senior Fire Spirit, you've truly brought honor to the Demon Race!"
Fire Spirit was a member of the Demon Race. His immense contribution had indeed brought them honor.
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty!"
Fire Spirit bowed slightly to the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor, looking quite modest.
The Golden Roc Immortal Emperor was the Demon Race's public leader. Though stronger beings existed among them, those beings usually remained asleep and would not awaken unless absolutely necessary.
The same was true of the Human Race. Immortal Emperor Yun Yi was its current leader, while its more powerful cultivators slept.
