'Huh?'
Ling Han had just been suspecting if his ears had heard it wrongly. Someone as proud as Yi would actually say such words. But upon further thought, Ling Han's present battle prowess had far surpassed the level of monarch tier, and he had indeed gained the qualifications that would make Yi willingly submit.
He had never been fond of being bound. His first reaction had been to refuse, but when he thought further, his future goal was to become a Heavenly Venerate, and the storm of darkness was a wall that he could not circle around. A great war would definitely break out.
If he went to battle a Foreign Realm Heavenly Venerate, Celestial Kings would naturally need to be there to oppose those 10th Lotus and 18th Lotus elites from the Foreign Realm as well.
Hence, he indeed should develop his own force, and it had to be an incredibly powerful force at that.
