The Sword Emperor scanned the hall before voluntarily taking a seat below Ye Chen. His actions made his stance clear: he was willing to defer to Ye Chen as his leader. In truth, it was no longer a question of mere submission; he would have willingly handed over the position of Sect Master of the Sword Emperor Sect to Ye Chen. He knew full well that with his own cultivation, he could never lead the sect to greatness. Their only chance for glory—and for him to avoid failing the ancestors of the sect—was to firmly align themselves with Ye Chen.
"Mr. Ye, the Sword Emperor Sect’s sphere of influence now covers about seventy percent of what used to be the Cloud Heaven Palace. At this rate, I fear it won't be long before we completely replace them. However, this is all premised on your continued presence to hold down the fort," the Sword Emperor said, cupping his hands toward Ye Chen.
It was no joke; one had to treat a powerhouse capable of killing a Pseudo-Immortal Realm expert with the utmost reverence. Especially since Ye Chen’s cultivation was only at the peak of the Profound Realm. If he were to break through to the Pseudo-Immortal Realm, wouldn't he be able to contend with true Loose Immortals?
