Shangguan Sheng, Tiangang Yi, and the others charged towards Wu Jiu in an imposing manner, but they were all snubbed. No matter how noble they were, Wu Jiu didn't give them any face, he just dragged Jiang Chen and left.
Facing such a situation, it was impossible for them to kill Jiang Chen, unless they fought Wu Jiu. However, if they did that, the whole situation would change. The Martial Palace was the foundation of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and even they didn't have the guts to wreak havoc in the Martial Palace. Furthermore, the Ninth Emperor had a noble status, and he was a member of the Imperial Family. If they really fought, Jiang Chen might not be able to kill him, and they wouldn't get any benefits either.
"Clan Chief, Sect Chief Tiangang, what should we do now?"
Shangguan Ying looked at Shangguan Sheng and Tiangang Yi and asked. He was gnashing his teeth in anger. He wanted to kill Jiang Chen more than anyone else. Jiang Chen was right in front of him, but he didn't have the chance to kill him to avenge his grandson. It was a really depressing feeling.
"I never expected that Jiang Chen would have such a close relationship with the Ninth Emperor, and he even saved the Ninth Emperor's life. It's almost impossible for us to kill Jiang Chen here."
Tiangang Yi furrowed his brows. Before coming here, they were planning to use the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect's pressure to force Wu Jiu to hand over Jiang Chen, and not get involved in this matter. However, they never expected Wu Jiu's attitude to be so forceful, as if Jiang Chen's matter was his own.
"For now, we have no choice but to go to the Martial Saint Dynasty."
Shangguan Sheng said with a gloomy expression.
"Do we really have to go to the Martial Saint Dynasty? I don't think the Imperial Emperor will be happy if we trouble him for a little brat. "
Shangguan Qingming said worriedly.
"We have to find the Imperial Emperor. If not, with the Ninth Emperor protecting Jiang Chen, we won't have the chance to kill Jiang Chen. Once Jiang Chen grows stronger, we'll be the ones in trouble."
Tiangang Yi said.
"That's right. Let's go to the Martial Saint Dynasty and find the Tenth Emperor and the Seventh Emperor first. Back on the Island of Ice, Jiang Chen nearly killed Prince Wu Cong, and yesterday, he brutally beat up the Seventh Emperor's youngest son, Wu Yan. This is undoubtedly a huge provocation to the two powerful emperors. I believe they don't want to see Jiang Chen grow any further."
Shangguan Sheng sneered.
"Let's go to the Martial Saint Dynasty immediately."
After saying that, Tiangang Yi was the first one to fly toward the Martial Saint Dynasty. At the same time, the rest of the group followed suit. Soon, they disappeared from the sky above Mount Wufu.
"Don't tell me these six bastards really went to the Martial Saint Dynasty?"
Han Yan could not help but sigh as he looked in the direction where the six of them disappeared.
"It looks like they have made up their mind to kill Little Chenzi. This time, the Ninth Emperor stopped them from going to the Martial Saint Dynasty and personally look for the Imperial Emperor."
Yu Zihan said with a frown.
"If the Imperial Emperor gets involved in this, wouldn't Chen Gege be in danger?"
Yan Chen Yu had a worried expression on her face as well.
"Alright, let's not think too much about it. It's useless no matter how much we think about it. That guy won't die so easily, and I'm sure Wu Jiu will protect Little Chenzi."
Da Huang Dog said.
"I think the Ninth Emperor's status in the Martial Saint Dynasty is pretty high, at least higher than the other emperors. If not, he wouldn't have been appointed as the Palace Chief."
Nangong Wentian said. At this point of time, they could only place all their hopes on Wu Jiu.
Deep within the Martial Palace, Jiang Chen and Wu Jiu were looking at each other with a smile on their faces. Xuan Ye was standing next to them. Currently, Xuan Ye was a Mid Combat Soul warrior, and he was much stronger than when he was in Inferno Hell. However, when Xuan Ye looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes were filled with shock. In the end, he just shook his head. In this world, there would always be miracles, just like this young man in front of him.
"Brother Jiang Chen, back in Inferno Hell, you were just a young man who had just broken through to the Divine Core realm. In order to kill the Earth Devil, we had no choice but to work together. It's only been such a short time, and you've actually grown to such a level! I'm really speechless."
Xuan Ye said. He was the one who guided Jiang Chen to the Blissful Island, and he never expected that Jiang Chen's combat strength would be so much stronger than his after he returned from the ocean.
That's right, although Xuan Ye had broken through to the Mid Combat Soul realm, with his talent, he was still much weaker than Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi. Jiang Chen could even kill Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi, let alone Xuan Ye.
"I have to thank brother Xuan for your guidance. If not, I wouldn't have gone to the ocean."
Jiang Chen cupped his fist toward Xuan Ye. His words of gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. Just like Wu Jiu, Xuan Ye had helped him a lot, especially Xuan Ye. If not for him knowing that Jiang Chen had gone to the Blissful Island, Jiang Chen wouldn't have met Nangong Wentian, and wouldn't have been able to obtain the Nine Solar Holy Water. If not for that, Yan Chen Yu wouldn't have woken up.
"Congratulations for sister-in-law's awakening."
Wu Jiu patted Jiang Chen's shoulder. Yesterday, when Jiang Chen came to the Martial Palace, although Wu Jiu didn't show himself, he knew everything, and he also knew Yan Chen Yu's whereabouts.
"Come, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good drink!"
Wu Jiu said in a straightforward manner.
After that, the three of them just drank and chatted. They didn't mention anything about the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. As for the fact that Jiang Chen had beaten up the prince yesterday, Wu Jiu didn't mention it either. In his eyes, this was the real Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen didn't fight back when Wu Yan was bullying him, would he still be the same Jiang Chen?
"Palace Chief, I think the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect have gone to the Martial Saint Dynasty. I wonder if the Imperial Emperor will intervene."
Xuan Ye finally brought up the topic, and his tone was filled with worry.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will be able to touch my brother."
Wu Jiu poured himself a cup of wine and said in an indifferent manner. He had once said that even if Jiang Chen were to poke a hole in the sky, he would be able to withstand it.
"Haha, that's true. With the Ninth Emperor's status, it's easy for him to protect Jiang Brother."
Xuan Ye said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Jiu, I have a request."
Jiang Chen suddenly said.
"Brother, tell me."
Wu Jiu said.
"This time, the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect are going to the Martial Saint Dynasty, and I'm sure they will join hands with the Seventh Emperor and Tenth Emperor. At that point of time, the Imperial Emperor will definitely be alerted. With what I've done, I'm afraid that even brother Jiu will be in a difficult situation. Therefore, brother Jiu, you don't have to protect me. I just hope that brother Jiu can protect the few men I brought here yesterday. As for me, haha, the world is so big, I, Jiang Chen, can go anywhere. It'll be extremely difficult for the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect to kill me."
Jiang Chen said. This was the main reason why he came to the Martial Palace.
"They are now part of the Martial Palace, and I'll ask Xuan Ye to give them the status of Martial Palace's disciple. As for you, you are now part of the Martial Palace as well, and you're my sworn brother. You don't need to go anywhere, just focus on cultivating in the Martial Palace. I want to see who can touch you."
Wu Jiu patted his chest and promised.
"But?"
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows. He knew that this matter wouldn't be as simple as it seemed. The Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect would definitely hunt him down, and these two superpowers were the Martial Saint Dynasty's biggest vassals. Even the Imperial Emperor couldn't ignore them.
"Brother Jiang, there's something you don't know. The Ninth Emperor's status is different from the other emperors. His words carry more weight in the Martial Saint Dynasty than the other emperors."
Xuan Ye said with a smile on his face.
"Oh?"
Jiang Chen was startled. He didn't know anything about the Martial Saint Dynasty at all.
"A hundred years ago, there were two geniuses in the Martial Saint Dynasty. One is the current Imperial Emperor, and the other is our Ninth Emperor. When the Island of Ice first appeared, no one knew what was inside, and whether it was a blessing or a curse. Therefore, the Martial Saint Dynasty decided to send one of their princes to the Island of Ice, and the Ninth Emperor was the first candidate. He was the most talented prince among all the princes. However, the Imperial Emperor longed for this opportunity, so the Ninth Emperor gave the spot to the Ninth Emperor. The Ninth Emperor found a great opportunity on the Island of Ice, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. In the end, he became a Combat King warrior, and became the current Imperial Emperor."
Xuan Ye continued, "Therefore, the Imperial Emperor was very grateful to the Ninth Emperor, and even let him manage the Martial Palace. Therefore, the Ninth Emperor's position in the Imperial Emperor's heart isn't something any other emperor can compare with."
After listening to Xuan Ye's explanation, Jiang Chen finally understood why Wu Jiu was so arrogant. It turned out that Wu Jiu had such a relationship with the Imperial Emperor a hundred years ago.
"What a pity. With brother Jiu's talent, if he entered the Island of Ice a hundred years ago, he might be the current Imperial Emperor."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"You're right, the throne should have been Lord Jiu's."
Xuan Ye felt sorry for Wu Jiu.
"Alright, Xuan Ye, you've talked too much today. I have no interest in becoming the Imperial Emperor."
Wu Jiu waved his hand. He didn't want to talk about what happened a hundred years ago anymore.
Jiang Chen and Wu Jiu drank for an entire day and night, all the way until the next morning. Suddenly, a golden talisman floated out from the void and landed in front of Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows when he saw the talisman. He flicked his finger, and a beam of light shot out from his fingertip and landed on the talisman. In an instant, the talisman turned into beams of light and entered Wu Jiu's mind.
"I never thought the Imperial Emperor would really interfere in this matter."
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows.
"Lord Jiu, what happened?"
Xuan Ye asked.
"The Imperial Emperor summoned me, and asked me to bring Jiang Chen to the Martial Saint Dynasty. It looks like this incident has alerted the Imperial Emperor."
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows.
"Lord Jiu, what should we do now? If we bring Jiang Chen back to the Martial Saint Dynasty, will Jiang Chen be in danger? "
Xuan Ye worriedly asked.
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt my brother. Since this incident has alerted the Imperial Emperor, we can use this opportunity to solve it. Brother, come with me to the Martial Saint Dynasty."
Wu Jiu looked at Jiang Chen.
