(Second Update!)

"Blood Sword, since you're with us now, we'll definitely protect you." Qing Xi patted Jian Wushuang's shoulder and snorted. "However, with your strength, don't even think about joining the Nine Tribulations King. He's the number one ultimate Dominator in the entire universe. Even if he wants to expand his power and take in Dominators, he'll only be an ultimate Dominator like my master. You're only a fourth-stage Dominator, so he'll definitely look down on you."
Jian Wushuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. However, he also knew that this girl didn't mean to belittle him, so he replied noncommittally, "You're right."
"Of course." Qing Xi snorted proudly when she heard that. Then, as if she was afraid that Jian Wushuang would be dispirited, she hurriedly comforted him. "You don't have to worry. As long as you follow us obediently, my master will naturally protect us when he joins the Nine Tribulations King's camp. My master has the best heart."
Jian Wushuang found this amusing and couldn't help but nod with a smile.
Witchwater Dominator, who was walking in front, noticed this scene and couldn't help but turn around and glare at Qing Xi. "Little Qing, be careful with your words and actions. Be careful with your words and actions!"
After saying that, Witchwater Dominator looked at Jian Wushuang and smiled faintly. "However, young friend, it's also good karma that you're acquainted with us. If I can really join the Nine Tribulations King's camp, I'll definitely protect you when the time comes."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Witchwater Dominator." Jian Wushuang smiled, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
Based on his observation, these three people were all kind-hearted people. This naturally wasn't a bad thing, but it might not be a good thing in the Tai Luo Ruins where killing and plundering were second nature.
Time passed slowly. After a few hours, Jian Wushuang, Witchwater Dominator, and the other three people arrived at the central area of the Tai Luo Ruins.
"Young friend, that's where the Nine Tribulations King is." Hegemon Water Shaman pointed at an endless mountain range in the distance. Atop the mountain range was an enormous palace.
Jian Wushuang raised his gaze and looked over. He saw that there were quite a few Hegemons standing guard outside the palace, their expressions nervous. Most of these Hegemons were Ultimate Hegemons.
"Are those Juggernauts the Nine Tribulations King's men?" Jian Wushuang retracted his gaze and asked curiously.
Hegemon Water Shaman shook his head and replied, "No, they're probably like us, rushing over to join the Nine Tribulations King after hearing the news. After all, there's far too much slaughter in the Zeno ruins right now. If you're not strong enough and have no backing, you won't be able to gain a foothold."
"Come on, let's go over there too." After Hegemon Water Shaman finished speaking, he led Jian Wushuang, Hegemon Ran Gu, and Clearstream towards the palace.
"Blood Sword, when the time comes, we only need to stand behind my master. Don't say anything. My master will take care of everything." Ran Gu walked beside Jian Wushuang and reminded him in a low voice.
"Alright." Jian Wushuang nodded, indicating that he understood.
A moment later, the four of them landed outside the palace.
As soon as they landed, they heard the group of Ultimate Hegemons discussing amongst themselves.
"Why do you think the Nine Tribulations King is suddenly expanding his forces and recruiting Hegemons from the ruins?"
"I don't know. Perhaps the Nine Tribulations King saw the Third Prince and the Silver Roc Hegemon expanding their forces and felt a sense of danger?"
"The Nine Tribulations King has always been a proud person. I'm afraid that ordinary Ultimate Hegemons won't catch his eye."
"Let's give it a try. If we can't join the Nine Tribulations King's forces, we'll have no choice but to join the Silver Roc Hegemon. However, I've heard that the Silver Roc Hegemon is narrow-minded. If we join him, we won't have an easy time. Sigh."
Quite a few Ultimate Hegemons were discussing in low voices. Soon after, they saw the Sorcerer Overlord bring Jian Wushuang and the other two over.
"Eh? Two fifth-stage Hegemons, and even a fourth-stage Hegemon? With such strength, they're here to join in the fun? Are they here to humiliate themselves? "
"Hahahaha, what a joke. With such strength, they should leave the Tai Luo Ruins. Staying here is suicidal."
"Originally, I was a little nervous and uncertain about joining the Nine Tribulations King's forces. However, with these weaklings helping me, I suddenly feel confident."
Mocking laughter could be heard in low voices.
Everyone present was an Ultimate Hegemon. Now that they were mocking him, they were not afraid at all.
When the young girl Qing Xi and Hegemon Ran Gu heard this, anger surged on their faces. Even the Water Shaman Overlord's expression turned ugly.
"Master, they've gone too far …" the young girl Qing Xi clenched her fists and said softly.
When the Water Shaman Overlord heard this, he took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let them say whatever they want. We only need to take care of ourselves."
"But …" Qing Xi wanted to say more, but the Water Shaman Overlord cut her off firmly. "No buts."
Qing Xi could only lower her head indignantly.
When the Water Shaman Overlord saw this, he could not help but sigh. After thinking for a while, he said, "Qing 'er, only by joining the Nine Tribulations King's forces will we have a place to protect ourselves in the Tai Luo Ruins. Only with this place will we have a chance to avenge your Eldest Senior Brother. Do you understand? So, let these meaningless mockery go as long as it doesn't affect us joining the Nine Tribulations King's forces. "
"Master, I understand." Hearing this, Qing Xi's face was still drooping.
The Water Shaman Overlord did not say anything else. He glanced at the silent Jian Wushuang standing at the back with his head lowered and could not help but shake his head.
.....
At the same time, within the palace.
The Nine Tribulations King stood at the center of the palace with his hands behind his back. The Green Peak Divine Marquis stood half a step behind him.
The huge palace seemed a little empty.
"Nine Tribulations, do you really plan on summoning the Hegemon and the Silver Roc Hegemon for a battle to the death before leaving the ruins?" the Green Peak Divine Marquis asked.
"A battle to the death? Is he worthy? " The Nine Tribulations King sneered expressionlessly. Then, his eyes flashed with a cold light. "If it weren't for the fact that he has so many rotten fish and shrimps by his side, I would have killed him long ago. Why would I have let him live until now?"
The Green Peak Divine Marquis laughed bitterly and shook his head. "If you had been willing to recruit the ultimate Hegemon in the ruins earlier, the Silver Roc Hegemon would not have been involved."
"It's not like you don't know that I left the Silver Roc Hegemon until now to wait for Jian Wushuang to come out and take revenge with him. If the Silver Roc Hegemon hadn't suddenly attacked me in the Windy Yang Gorge, Jian Wushuang would not have been pursued by Qing Xuzi."
After a pause, the Nine Tribulations King said indifferently, "However, although we know that Jian Wushuang is still alive, there is no news of him. Let the two of us avenge him together."
