Xiao Shimin was very courteous to Yang Ziwei, as his Heavenly King Country was the foremost among the hundred nations in this region!
But behind Yang Ziwei stood the formidable Array Masters' Guild. The Guild had branches all over the Immortal Emperor Realm; who would dare to underestimate such a force? Many major powers had Array Masters among their ranks. Moreover, when one power annihilated another, they were forbidden from harming its Array Masters—a rule on par with the saying, "When two armies engage in battle, envoys are not to be beheaded."
If it weren't for Yang Ziwei needing to utilize some resources from the Heavenly King Country, it would have been nearly impossible for Xiao Shimin to even get a meeting with him.
"The word on the street is that Xiao Heavenly Emperor will be his disciple—it seems it's true."
"Yang Ziwei has ten disciples. This Xiao Heavenly Emperor would be the eleventh."
