Chapter 1502 - 1450-1451 Jade Emperor Dissatisfied True Rival
"I heard recently that the Heterodox Alliance has subdued three factions just entering the Divine Land World, gaining three True Immortals, and making quite a splash?" Zhu Houji, dressed in casual attire, was meditating with closed eyes on the couch when he suddenly spoke.
In the vast and silent great hall, even though Zhu Houji’s voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of Lu Bing, who stood by.
Not to mention that having cultivated up to this day, a True Immortal should have sharp senses; if he couldn’t even catch such a soft sound, what would that say about him? Besides, as Zhu Houji’s loyal subordinate, always ready to obey, how could Lu Bing miss any command from Zhu Houji?
"Replying to Your Majesty," Lu Bing bowed and answered, "the Heterodox Alliance has indeed recently amalgamated three factions, and with this momentum, they have opened territories in the Western Continent, exhibiting immense authority."
As per usual reason, being a True Immortal now, even if Lu Bing was once a guard when Zhu Houji was a prince, considered a servant of the latter, he shouldn’t have been so humble.
Now, although there are many True Immortals in the Divine Land World, this does not justify the luxury of having one True Immortal serve another.
As beings who have certified as Tao-Certifying True Immortals, they not only transcend ordinary life in essence but also possess immense strength, which brings significant status and recognition.
Regardless of their past identities, anyone who certifies as a True Immortal has stepped onto the pinnacle in the universe, a part of the elite few, revered and esteemed by countless powerful beings.
Therefore, with Lu Bing’s status, while he can maintain his loyalty and respect toward Zhu Houji, there’s no need for such humility.
It wasn’t Zhu Houji who insisted on this behavior; at the time Lu Bing attained Tao-Certifying True Immortal status, Zhu Houji had told him, his status had changed and he needn’t be so humble; maintaining loyalty was enough.
