All the emperors threw doubtful glances at Jiang Chen. None of the emperors had expected that the main character who had stirred up the entire Eastern Continent would be so young.
Bang!
In the next moment, powerful pressure shot out from every single Late Combat Soul warrior like tornadoes toward Jiang Chen. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had become the center of the storm.
Facing the pressure, Jiang Chen's lips curved upward into a faint smile. He just stood there, not feeling any discomfort, as if the pressure had no effect on him at all.
"What?"
Even the Imperial Emperor was surprised by this, and he couldn't help but give Jiang Chen a few more glances. The pressure unleashed by dozens of Late Combat Soul warriors was no joke, and no ordinary man would be able to withstand it. However, Jiang Chen looked as if nothing had happened to him. Furthermore, this was the Martial Saint Palace, and any young man who came here would be scared out of his wits, let alone the Imperial Emperor. However, this young man in front of him had been calm and composed ever since he walked into the palace, as if he was walking into a vegetable market. Just this mentality alone was something that no ordinary geniuses could compare with.
"Hmph! What is the meaning of this? Are you treating me, Old Jiu, as if I don't exist? "
Wu Jiu was furious. He unleashed a powerful energy from his body, blocking all the pressure. With a cold expression, he glanced at all the people in the palace, then he turned to the Imperial Emperor.
"Imperial Emperor, I've brought Jiang Chen here."
Wu Jiu cupped his fist toward the Imperial Emperor.
"Brother, greet the Imperial Emperor."
Wu Jiu said to Jiang Chen in a low voice.
The smile on Jiang Chen's face didn't disappear. Imitating Wu Jiu, he cupped his fist toward the Imperial Emperor and said, "Jiang Chen greets the Imperial Emperor."
"Bastard, how dare you not kneel before the Imperial Emperor? Are you courting death?!"
Someone shouted at Jiang Chen. Ever since this person came in, he had found Jiang Chen to be an eyesore. Jiang Chen guessed that this person should be one of the Seventh Emperor or the Tenth Emperor.
"Tenth Brother, Jiang Chen has just arrived in the Martial Saint Dynasty, and it's not your place to yell at him if he doesn't know the rules."
Wu Jiu shouted loudly. At the same time, Jiang Chen realized that this man was indeed the Tenth Emperor, Wu Cong's father. Jiang Chen had almost killed Wu Cong on the Island of Ice, so it was normal for the Tenth Emperor to hate him.
"Humph! You really are a country bumpkin. Now that you know the rules, hurry up and kneel. "
Another man harrumphed. Needless to say, the one who was so eager to pick on Jiang Chen must be the Seventh Emperor. Jiang Chen had brutally beaten up the Seventh Emperor's son, Wu Yan, in the Martial Palace, which meant that he didn't care about the Seventh Emperor at all, which was equivalent to slapping the Seventh Emperor's face.
Two cold beams shot out from Jiang Chen's eyes. The expression on his face remained unchanged as he cupped his fist toward the Imperial Emperor once again. However, he didn't show any signs of kneeling. What a joke! The once greatest Saint in the world kneeling to a Combat King warrior, how could he accept that?
Right at this moment, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze. Everyone could feel the Imperial Emperor's emotions fluctuating. In the Martial Saint Palace, he was a supreme existence, and today, a young man dared not kneel to him. This was no doubt a slap to the Imperial Emperor's face.
"Bastard, how dare you be so rude to the Imperial Emperor?! Just this alone is more than enough to wipe out your entire family!"
The Seventh Emperor pointed his finger at Jiang Chen's nose and shouted.
"Seventh Brother, Jiang Chen is my sworn brother, you better be polite to him."
Wu Jiu's attitude was very domineering. However, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to refuse to kneel to the Imperial Emperor. Because of this, the Imperial Emperor's impression of Jiang Chen would be greatly affected.
Shangguan Sheng and Tiangang Yi who stood on the side didn't say anything, but they both had complacent smiles on their faces. In their minds, this Jiang Chen had no idea that he had offended the Imperial Emperor.
"Enough!"
The Imperial Emperor waved his hand, signaling Wu Jiu and Wu Qi to stop arguing.
"You're Jiang Chen?"
The Imperial Emperor turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"Yes, I am. May I know why the Imperial Emperor has summoned me?"
Jiang Chen spoke in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"You're indeed a young genius, strong and courageous. I like young men like you."
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Emperor actually praised Jiang Chen. This sudden change made Wu Jiu very happy. As long as the Imperial Emperor had a good impression of Jiang Chen, it would be a good thing for him.
On the other hand, the others' expressions changed. They thought the Imperial Emperor would punish Jiang Chen for his rudeness, but the Imperial Emperor wasn't angry at all.
However, Jiang Chen's senses were very sharp. He could clearly sense the strange emotion the Imperial Emperor had toward him. He knew that the Imperial Emperor didn't really like him. As an Emperor, he would never like someone who was rude to him, because he was used to being in a high and mighty position, and he would never allow anyone to offend his dignity.
"Jiang Chen, I heard that you've killed many men from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. Now, even the Shangguan Clan Chief and Myriad Sword Sect Chief have come to me personally. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The Imperial Emperor said in an indifferent tone.
"Imperial Emperor, this is between Jiang Chen and the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. I hope the Imperial Emperor can stay out of this."
Wu Jiu cupped his fist and said to the Imperial Emperor.
"Hmph! Wu Jiu, what gives you the right to tell the Imperial Emperor what to do? The Imperial Emperor is a high and mighty figure, there's nothing in the entire Eastern Continent that the Imperial Emperor can't handle. Besides, what happened in the past was all because of the Imperial Emperor's own ability, don't think too highly of yourself. "
Wu Qi said with a loud voice.
Hearing what Wu Jiu said, Jiang Chen had an urge to tear this Seventh Emperor's mouth apart. He knew very well about the power of an Emperor. The Imperial Emperor was a hero of his generation, and he hated people mentioning the matter of Wu Jiu giving him the spot a hundred years ago. It was as if Wu Jiu was the one who made him the Emperor. This matter would definitely become a thorn in the Imperial Emperor's heart, and every time it was mentioned, it would make him unhappy. Furthermore, Wu Jiu was a hot-blooded man, and his attitude was very domineering, which gave people a feeling that he was taking credit for everything. If this situation continued for a long time, the Imperial Emperor's gratitude toward Wu Jiu would gradually turn into hatred, or even hostility.
"I'm just stating the facts."
Wu Jiu maintained his domineering attitude.
"Fine, even if the conflict between the Shangguan Clan and the Myriad Sword Sect is a personal matter, why do you want to get involved? Let them settle it themselves."
Wu Qi was obviously going against Wu Jiu. The other emperors were just standing aside and watching the show with Leng Leng. Jiang Chen suddenly had a feeling that the relationship between Wu Jiu and these emperors wasn't that good.
However, it was understandable. First of all, Wu Jiu's personality was very independent, and he always did things according to his own preferences. A man like this wasn't suitable to play around with power. Furthermore, there were so many emperors in the Martial Saint Dynasty, but Wu Jiu was the one who took control of the Martial Palace. Furthermore, Wu Jiu had disappeared for ten years, and the Martial Palace had only found an acting Palace Chief. Now that Wu Jiu had returned, he immediately took control of the Martial Palace.
"Let me tell you, Wu Qi, Jiang Chen saved my life in Inferno Hell, and he is now my sworn brother. Of course, I'll help him."
Wu Jiu said.
"Hmph! That Jiang Chen almost killed Wu Cong, and he beat up Wu Yan right after he arrived at the Martial Palace. He doesn't respect the prince at all! This is a blasphemy against the Imperial Majesty, an unforgivable death sentence! "
The Tenth Emperor coldly harrumphed and confronted Wu Jiu.
"Young people are always hot-tempered. Wu Cong and Wu Yan couldn't defeat Jiang Chen, and that only proves that they are weak. Furthermore, Jiang Chen didn't kill them."
Wu Jiu said.
"Imperial Majesty, our Shangguan Clan has always been working for the Martial Saint Dynasty. Now, our Shangguan Clan wants to kill an enemy, but the Ninth Emperor is stopping us from doing so. Don't you think this is unfair to our Shangguan Clan? Imperial Majesty, please consider our Shangguan Clan's loyalty to the Imperial Clan and settle this matter."
Shangguan Sheng bowed deeply toward the Imperial Emperor.
"The Myriad Sword Sect has always been loyal to the Imperial Family. Now, our Sect Elder was killed, our genius was killed, and even our number one genius, Xuan Yuzi, was killed by this young man. This is an unresolvable grudge, I hope the Ninth Emperor won't get involved in this, and let us settle it ourselves."
Tiangang Yi also spoke. These two superpowers of the Jian Province had come to pressure the Imperial Emperor at the same time.
"This is really giving me a headache. Old Jiu, what do you think about this?"
The Imperial Emperor looked at Wu Jiu.
"Imperial Emperor, I, Wu Jiu, will only say one thing today, I swear that I will protect Jiang Chen with my life. My life was saved by Jiang Chen, and whoever tries to kill him will be going against me, Wu Jiu!"
Wu Jiu's aura was extremely powerful, and his attitude showed no signs of backing down.
The Imperial Emperor furrowed his brows, and a displeased expression appeared on his face. Wu Jiu was talking to him like this in front of so many people, he wasn't giving him any face at all.
Swoosh!
Right at this moment, a sharp cry sounded out from outside the palace. After that, an eagle with golden feathers flew into the palace and landed on the Imperial Emperor's shoulder. After that, it let out a series of musical notes that entered the Imperial Emperor's ears. After that, it flapped its wings and flew away.
The Imperial Emperor threw his glance back at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, I have to kill you and protect you at the same time, it's really difficult for me to do that. I've just received news that a dimensional crack has appeared in a remote place in the Eastern Continent, and a huge amount of Dimensional Beasts have appeared there. These Dimensional Beasts are wreaking havoc everywhere, killing all living beings. I'll send you to kill these Dimensional Beasts and repair the dimensional crack. As long as you can do that, I'll forgive you for all your previous mistakes. What do you think?"
"Dimensional crack?"
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment.
"That's right. Ever since the greatest Saint beneath the heavens split open the entrance to the Realm of Immortals a hundred years ago, the Saint Origin realm has been greatly affected. The dimensional barrier has become weaker, and some monsters have appeared from time to time. However, it seems like the situation is more serious this time, as Combat Soul Dimensional Beasts have appeared, and there are quite a lot of them. Your mission is not only to kill these Dimensional Beasts, you also have to repair the dimensional crack."
The Imperial Emperor said.
"No way."
