The Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi quickly arrived by Jiang Wuya’s side. Zhao Danchen did not need to turn around to know that they wereing. Initially, he was in a great mood after getting to vent his anger on Jiang Wuya, but when he saw them, his mood soured once more.


    Zhao Danchen halted temporarily and turned around. His golden eyes were fixed on the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi. His cold, stern re stopped them in their tracks.


    All they could do was scream helplessly. “Leave!”


    Jiang Wuya would never leave.


    Hot tears filled his eyes too as he watched them, as if the pain from his arm had disappeared. The pain he was experiencing now was heartache.


    As he watched the two crying women, he finally knew what he needed to protect. The feeling of enlightenment was good.


    “Leave? Who said you could leave?” Zhao Danchen looked at them. He knew their rtionship, so he smirked maliciously and said in a low voice, “The reunification of old mes. This is quite a touching scene. Unfortunately, I, Zhao Danchen, don’t like touching scenes. Just now, you lost an arm. What’s next?”


    Zhao Danchen moved in a sh and soon appeared by Jiang Wuya’s side. After Jiang Wuya lost an arm, the gap between their strength became endlessly huge. In the face of Zhao Danchen’s sudden ambush, Jiang Wuya tried everything he could, but he could not block Jiang Wuya’s attack. Zhao Danchen gripped his neck and lifted him into the air.


    He punched a few times, causing blood to pour out of Jiang Wuya’s mouth. He hadpletely lost the ability to fight.“No!” The Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi felt like their world was spinning when they saw Jiang Wuya’s dismal state. Ignoring everything else, they rushed to him, but Zhao Danchen waved casually, and they flew back clumsily. Zhao Danchen was determined to kill Jiang Wuya today. He no longer cared about Liu Yiyi making him lose face by running out here.


    To him, the people of the Divine Martial Empire were mere ants under the control of the Martial Alliance. Why would he care about the opinions of ants?


    “Don’t worry. I won’t break his neck so soon. Doesn’t he still have an arm and two legs?” Zhao Danchen sneered, then he gently gripped Jiang Wuya’s remaining arm with a vicious look on his face.


    The Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi, the two helpless women, had lost their minds by now. They climbed to their feet numbly. The man in front of them was so powerful that they could not fight back at all.


    “If he were here, we would not end up like this …” They had heard that Long Chen had defeated Yang Ningfeng; he was surely as strong as Zhao Danchen too. Unfortunately, Long Chen had entered the Nine Spirit Purgatory, so it was impossible for him to appear here.


    Liu Yiyi stood up woodenly.


    She looked at the man in Zhao Danchen’s hand. There was still violence and refusal to surrender in his eyes. Zhao Danchen’s strength did not scare him at all.


    “Zhao Danchen, you may kill me today, but you must remember that your death is not far away!” said Jiang Wuya with a cold smirk.


    The contempt in his eyes made Zhao Danchen very ufortable.


    “Is that so? Too bad you won’t be able to witness it.” Zhao Danchen gripped Jiang Wuya’s remaining arm. He was about to rip it off when Jian Chen finally saw his chance. His Cloud Sword turned into a ray of light and shot at Zhao Danchen!


    “Void Sword Qi?” Zhao Danchen smiled and lifted his hand to block it. The Void Sword Qi hit his arm, and sparks flew. Jian Chen was thrown back into the air and the Cloud Sword flew out of his hand. It fell with a <em>ng,</em> and a huge crack was left on the de.


    The Golden Combat Body was unimaginably tough!


    “It looks like no one ising to save you, right? Zhao Danchenughed and prepared to rip the arm off.


    If Jiang Wuya lost another arm, he would bepletely incapacitated.


    The Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi werepletely hopeless. There was no hope.


    <em>Boom!</em>


    At the veryst moment, the ground shook once more. It shook even harder than when Zhao Danchen punched earlier.


    “What’s going on?” Zhao Danchen was sensitive to changes, so he felt the vibrations first. He had gripped Jiang Wuya’s arm and was about to rip it off, but he stopped. He looked towards the source of the vibration, which was in the direction of Yellow Martial City!


    Four tiny figures were rushing towards them from the city. Based on the speed, Zhao Danchen estimated that they were as strong as he was, especially a thin, small figure who was traveling faster than Zhao Danchen could imagine. Speed usually represented a person’s strength.


    Zhao Danchen knew that the only person stronger than him in the entire empire was the Martial Overlord. However, the thin person was clearly not Zhao Wuji. The three people behind him, on the other hand, looked as fast as Zhao Danchen too.


    Zhao Danchen was shocked. The neers included three Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivators and one master as strong as Zhao Wuji?


    He initially thought that these were masters from another empire. That was the only exnation. But the masters of the Divine Martial Empire had long destroyed the universal transporters leading to other empires. It would require at least a year for outsiders to enter the Divine Martial Empire from the nearest empire.


    This meant they had traveled for a year toe to a ce as obscure as the Divine Martial Empire. Why?


    That was Zhao Danchen’s first question.


    If these were masters from another empire, this would be a major affair much more serious than Jiang Wuya, so Zhao Danchen instantly lost interest in torturing him.


    During this short period of shock and contemtion, the four of them arrived in front of Zhao Danchen. The thin old man arrived first, while the other three were still much further. He was less than a hundred meters away.


    Zhao Danchen hurriedly let go of Jiang Wuya, who crashed into the ground, and spoke to the thin old man. “May I ask which empire are you from, elder? My name is Zhao Danchen, and I am the direct disciple of the Divine Martial Empire’s Martial Overlord, Zhao Wuji!”


    “Which empire? Haha! I’m from the Divine Martial Empire. Do you know who I am?” As he spoke, the thin old man arrived in front of Zhao Danchen and attacked. He threw a punch at Zhao Danchen, and consecutive explosions sounded in the air.


    “Elder, why are you attacking me? Is there some misunderstanding?” Zhao Danchen hadn’t heard the old man clearly, so he asked another question. But the thin old man did not stop attacking!


    The sudden punch felt as if the ground itself was flying at Zhao Danchen. His face changed and he backed away clumsily. The old man’s punch was powerful, so Zhao Danchen was forced a hundred meters back in order to dodge his attack.


    It was a simple punch, but it was packed with immense power.


    Zhao Danchen hadpletely backed away from Jiang Wuya and the Clear Shallows King.


    When Jian Chen, the Clear Shallows King, and Liu Yiyi saw that Zhao Danchen was chased away, they rushed over to help Jiang Wuya up. They did not care who the old man was.


    The Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi were here, and Jian Chen felt that he could not do much else, so he quickly bowed to the old man and said, “Elder, thank you for saving my Second Brother. Thank you so much. We are endlessly grateful.”


    Initially, when the thin old man was looking at Zhao Danchen, his face was solemn. But when he turned to Jian Chen, his expression warmed and he even smiled slightly. “Don’t thank me. Thank the people behind.”


    He was the strongest, so everyone instinctively noticed him and forgot about the other three people, who were just arriving. After he spoke, Jian Chen, Jiang Wuya, the Clear Shallows King, and Liu Yiyi turned to look at the other three.


    When they saw their faces, everyone’s jaws dropped, including the Martial Alliance members. The most shocked ones were Zhao Danchen and the Demon Emperor.


    “Long Yue, Long Chen!”


    Cries of surprise rang.


    Even the crowd in Yellow Martial City erupted. This was supposed to be a bride-receiving ceremony, yet it had escted to this current situation. No one would have expected this. Long Yue and Long Chen’s arrival also stunned them. All it took was for one person in Yellow Martial City to recognize him for the news to spread quickly.


    Within a short time, the onlookers had a rough idea of what had happened.


    Who was that mysterious old man? Why was he so strong?


    The two Long Chens and Long Yue had been locked in the Nine Spirit Purgatory by the Martial Overlord. How had they gotten out?


    The familiar faces stunned Jiang Wuyapletely. Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows King helped him up, one on each side. Liu Yiyi held his remaining arm while the Clear Shallows King supported his body. From the moment he risked his life for Liu Yiyi, the distance between them evaporated.


    The Clear Shallows King did not know what to say upon this reunification. All she did was look at his wound with heartache, knowing that he was in great pain.


    But the pain was dulled by the shock of Long Chen’s squad’s arrival.


    “Yue’er, Seventh Brother! You guys …” Jiang Wuya was instantly emotional.


    “Big Sister, Seventh Brother, weren’t you guys locked in the Nine Spirits Purgatory? How did you get out? How did you get here?” Jian Chen quickly ran up to them with great emotion written on his face.
