Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 1043 - 1042: Replacing the Golden Origin Dynasty

In the evening, Song Qi arrived.

The owner of Tavern No. 3 led Song Qi outside, respectfully saying: "Young Pavilion Master, Song Qi is here. Are you free to meet him now? If it's inconvenient, I'll have him wait over there!"

Lin Fan's gentle voice sounded from inside: "Let him in!"

The door was opened.

Song Qi walked in.

The owner did not follow inside, understanding that Lin Fan and Song Qi probably had important matters to discuss. His presence would only interrupt...

"Greetings, Young Pavilion Master!"

Upon seeing Lin Fan, Song Qi quickly knelt respectfully to the floor.

At this moment, Song Qi felt somewhat surprised, as he hadn't expected the Young Pavilion Master to be so young.

Simultaneously, Song Qi noticed that Lin Fan's cultivation was merely at the Perfect King-level, not yet reaching Emperor-level.

Yet...

Despite this, deep inside, Song Qi dared not take him lightly.

For he understood clearly that being chosen as the Young Pavilion Master of the Divine Tower Pavilion meant he was no ordinary person, not just any genius.

"General, no need for formalities!"

Lin Fan waved his hand and said: "General, please stand!"

"Yes!"

Song Qi replied respectfully, stood up, and said: "Young Pavilion Master, you don't need to call me General. You can just call me Little Song!"

"Heh…"

Lin Fan chuckled and said: "You are a General after all. Sit down, once you're seated, I have words for you!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan took a seat.

Song Qi acknowledged and sat respectfully across from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan glanced at Song Qi, preparing to say something.

"Oh?"

But the next moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but express surprise, saying: "General, what's going on? Your cultivation could break through to Emperor-level at any moment, yet why are you suppressing it? You know, suppressing your cultivation like this is very harmful to the body, not advisable!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Song Qi was taken aback.

How could he see through the depths of my cultivation?

Moreover, he could discern my cultivation status?

Song Qi couldn't help but wonder: "Is the Young Pavilion Master's cultivation really only at the Perfect King-level? Has he truly not reached Emperor-level? Yet, if he hadn't, how did he see through me so effortlessly?"

While Song Qi was lost in his thoughts, Lin Fan spoke again: "General, find a time to arrange a breakthrough, don't keep suppressing your cultivation."

This time, Song Qi smiled bitterly and quickly said respectfully: "Young Pavilion Master, it's not that I don't want to break through, but… I simply can't!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan furrowed his brows slightly, asking: "How come?"

Song Qi replied: "To answer Young Pavilion Master, my situation is indeed quite complicated. Initially, my cultivation advanced quickly, which led to rapid promotion in official ranks, eventually becoming the Right Army General."

"Under normal circumstances, I would have long broken through to Emperor-level!"

"But alas, at the crucial moment, I was ambushed by the Golden Origin Dynasty, who sealed my body, directly hindering any further progress in my cultivation."

At this point, Song Qi could only grin helplessly.

Lin Fan asked: "Did they seal your cultivation fearing that you'd threaten their position upon breaking through?"

Song Qi nodded and said: "That's correct!"

After a pause, Song Qi continued: "To be honest, even if I broke through to Emperor-level, I wouldn't threaten their dynasty. Yet, they wouldn't trust me!"

"Heh!"

Lin Fan chuckled and indifferently said: "Well, before, you bore them no ill will, but since they've sealed you off, let's start making things difficult for them, make them regret, and lead the Golden Origin Dynasty to slowly perish in despair."

"What?"

Song Qi was shocked and asked: "Young Pavilion Master, I don't understand the meaning behind your words!"

Lin Fan said: "My intention is simple... to replace the entire Golden Origin Dynasty!"

Song Qi was yet again shocked, "Young Pavilion Master, you mean... you plan to replace the Golden Origin Dynasty?"

Lin Fan laughed and shook his head, "You're mistaken; it's not I who will replace them, but you who will replace the Golden Origin Dynasty!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Song Qi was utterly stunned.

To be honest, at this moment, Song Qi was frightened.

"What is it?"

Lin Fan smiled at Song Qi, asking: "Are you scared?"

Song Qi regained his composure and said: "Young Pavilion Master, it's not that I'm afraid. It's just that I feel if we proceed with this plan, it's extremely risky. Not that I'm afraid of dying, it's just... I've painstakingly gathered an army, and if it gets destroyed, it would be disastrous!"

"That said, if the Young Pavilion Master insists, I certainly won't refuse!"

Song Qi paused, merely looking at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan chuckled and said: "While this certainly involves some risks, rest assured, I wouldn't proceed if I weren't confident!"

"This..."

Song Qi hesitated.

As he truly couldn't see where this confidence came from.

Lin Fan asked again: "General, do you feel uncertain?"

Song Qi smiled bitterly, saying: "Young Pavilion Master, truth be told, confronting the Golden Origin Dynasty's army with my forces still seems unlikely to win. After all, they have both Left and Central Armies, and their might is formidable, making my army seem like mere fodder in comparison!"

Lin Fan chuckled and said: "Rest assured, you won't be fighting alone!"

Song Qi paused and asked: "Young Pavilion Master, you mean..."

Lin Fan said: "If it were up to you alone to take on the Golden Origin Dynasty, indeed, it'd be challenging, but... remember, you have me backing you, and I'll have people supporting you!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Song Qi became incredibly excited.

As help means his task would be far easier!

"Agreed!"
