“Keep on, don’t stop moving.” Seniors yelled at their juniors during the exodus from Mingluo City.

　　Since Li Qiye was watching with a cold stare, even the strongest among the crowd didn’t dare to disobey him.

　　Some ancient ancestors were stronger than the five merchants but they still obediently complied.

　　Li Qiye seemed to be unstoppable after his two recent battles. Everyone understood how accurate his t.i.tle was. Once provoked, he would send anyone to their death regardless of their status and backing.

　　Just his presence alone deterred and intimidated the crowd. Not one single soul tried to hide in Mingluo during the commotion.

　　Even if they weren’t afraid of death, they didn’t want to drag their sects down with them since Fiercest would probably destroy everything to make a point.

　　It didn’t take long before the visitors were gone from the city. In fact, some even moved quite far away from the walls before making camps.

　　“Okay, as you please now. Don’t leave the city.” Li Qiye clapped his hands and said before leaving.

　　“Thank you, Your Majesty, may you live forever!” The natives got on their knees and started showing him respect.

　　They considered him to be the savior and king of Mingluo right now since their head would be rolling on the ground right now if it wasn’t for him. They wouldn’t stop showing their grat.i.tude and continued bowing their head. 

　　“May His Majesty lives forever!” This chant echoed across the area.

　　Li Qiye stopped and looked at the kneeling crowd. He said: “That sounds unpleasant. You all may call me a young n.o.ble instead.”

　　“Young n.o.ble, may you be forever matchless!” Lin Yixue shouted. 

　　“Young n.o.ble, may you be forever matchless!” The crowd chanted sonorously in unison. [1]

　　This particular legend and phrase would pa.s.s on for generations in this city.

　　The area became quiet after all the outsiders have left. Nevertheless, they still stared at the bright city.

　　The gates were closed and it was defenseless yet no one dared to take a step inside or attempt to sneak in.

　　Li Qiye’s declaration became the strongest line of defense. The city has turned into a forbidden ground. Only suicidal people would try to enter.

　　“We need to back off whenever and wherever we see Fiercest from now on.” A senior coldly told his juniors: “If anyone happens to offend him, then just kneel and offer your head to him, don’t bring us down with you!”

　　The realization that Fiercest usually took things to the extreme has convinced the rest of the world to obey.

　　“Looks like we’ll have to give up on the immortal stone then.” One expert sighed with disappointment.

　　A few ancestors have speculated about its appearance in Mingluo City. Unfortunately, no one could take this stone unless they wanted to risk it all.
