Facing the praise from the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller, Wu Tian smiled and said, "It was just luck."
"As you know, I have received the complete inheritance of the Medicine God. If I couldn't achieve even this much improvement, it would be quite strange, wouldn't it?"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller laughed heartily, "Haha, you speak the truth!"
"The stronger you are, the better it is for the Demon Slaying Palace."
"Now, please follow me. The high-ranking officials of the palace are very curious about you!"
With that, led by the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller, Wu Tian and Li Xingyun headed towards the main hall of the Demon Slaying Palace.
It was an ancient and grand palace, exuding an imposing aura that filled one with a sense of pressure at first glance.
As the two entered, they saw that the spacious main hall was already filled with thirty to forty people.
These individuals all emanated powerful auras. A rough estimate revealed that they were all Grand Unity Golden Immortals!
Even Wu Tian couldn't help but gasp at this.
After all, even within the Eight Great Divine Sects, Grand Unity Golden Immortals were still extremely precious resources.
Yet, the Demon Slaying Palace possessed so many. It was no wonder that even if the Eight Great Divine Sects joined forces, they would not be a match for the Demon Slaying Palace.
After the two entered, they naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
All eyes were curiously examining them, and a flurry of hushed discussions began to ripple through the surroundings.
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller beckoned the two to their seats and then smiled at the crowd, "Everyone, haven't you always been curious about what the Demon Slaying Kings look like?"
"These are our Demon Slaying Kings."
"Not only are they young in appearance, but their actual age is only in their early twenties. Truly extraordinary individuals."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller's words, the expressions of the crowd were filled with astonishment.
After all, reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm was not an easy feat; one might not even find a single individual among fifty thousand cultivators.
Yet, these individuals before them had achieved such a feat in their early twenties. This was simply an impossible matter!
Next, the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller smiled at Wu Tian and the two, "Everyone in this hall are Grand Unity Golden Immortals currently stationed at the Demon Slaying Palace."
"Since you are here today, it's a good opportunity to get acquainted."
Hearing this, Wu Tian was slightly taken aback.
Grand Unity Golden Immortals currently stationed at the Demon Slaying Palace?
Did this mean that the Demon Slaying Palace had other Grand Unity Golden Immortals?
The two smiled at the crowd, offering a brief greeting.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice arose from the crowd:
"Palace Master, although this is not something I should say, I still wish to boldly ask one more question."
"Are these two... truly the legendary Demon Slaying Kings?"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller smiled, "What, do you have any doubts?"
The person replied, "To be frank, Palace Master, while these two are indeed exceptionally talented individuals, I cannot help but have doubts about their identities."
"As everyone knows, to become a Demon Slaying King, one must defeat a Demon Emperor."
"But a Demon Emperor is a character that even ordinary Immortal Kings cannot deal with!"
"With their strength, how could they possibly accomplish such a feat?"
"Therefore, Palace Master, I am very perplexed by this matter!"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller smiled, "Your question is very pertinent. Indeed, with our current strength, none of us can defeat a Demon Emperor."
"Since the two Demon Slaying Kings were able to accomplish this, they must have had their own fortunate encounters."
"The Demon Slaying Token never errs. Regardless of the process, as long as demonic energy enters the Demon Slaying Token in the end, it must be counted, mustn't it?"
The person hesitated, then continued, "What the Palace Master says makes sense, but if it's just like this, these Demon Slaying Kings will not be able to convince us."
"Demon Slaying Kings possess supreme status. Such a title should be bestowed upon true masters."
"But now, we are expected to obey these Demon Slaying Kings whose achievements are questionable. I'm afraid we find it difficult to do so!"
As the person spoke, others nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller did not show anger. Instead, he smiled at Wu Tian and the two, "Esteemed Demon Slaying Kings."
"It seems that everyone has some reservations about your identities."
"In this situation, do you have anything you wish to say?"
A smile played on Wu Tian's lips as he said, "What, have you already decided to give me a show of strength upon my arrival?"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller chuckled, "It's not exactly a show of strength, but it seems we will have to establish some authority."
Looking at the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller's smile, Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
How could he not see that the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller also wanted to test their current strength?
However, he had no objections to this. He turned to Li Xingyun and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Xingyun showed no fear, saying, "What else can I do? If they want to fight, let's fight."
"If we back down now, won't the title of Demon Slaying King become a joke?"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller smiled, "Sect Leader Li, you jest. Regardless, you are still Demon Slaying Kings."
"This fact will not change for any reason."
"We just don't know what method you two will use to establish your authority?"
Li Xingyun surveyed the crowd below and said, "I am only a one-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal at the moment. I am certainly no match for higher realms."
"How about this, I'll choose him as my opponent?"
As he said this, he pointed to one of the individuals.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller's brow twitched slightly, "Oh? Mr. Wang Mo here is a three-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
"Sect Leader Li, as a one-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal, do you really wish to choose him as your opponent?"
Li Xingyun smiled, "I would like to choose someone stronger, but I don't have the strength for that."
"So, it'll be him. No need to change."
Hearing Li Xingyun's words, everyone's expressions froze.
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller had meant for Li Xingyun to choose a slightly weaker opponent.
But unexpectedly, Li Xingyun had interpreted it in this way.
The person referred to as Wang Mo by the Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller had an extremely grim expression at this moment.
While not holding the highest position in the Demon Slaying Palace, he was still a figure of some standing.
Li Xingyun's words were no different from publicly insulting him.
He clenched his fists tightly and said in an unfriendly tone, "Since the Demon Slaying King is in such a mood, then very well, no problem."
"Today, let me properly learn what kind of strength these legendary Demon Slaying Kings possess!"
The Heavenly Venerable Demon Queller smiled, "Alright, since neither of you has any objections, please proceed to the sparring area."
"Both of you are extraordinary immortal cultivators. It appears this match will be exceptionally exciting."
