Yiya had heard this name and knew who he was. That was why her expression had changed, and she realized that Jiang Chen had agreed too rashly.

“Hou Jue isn’t classified on the Sacred Lord List because he isn’t a Sacred Lord, but a Doctrine Protector.” Yiya silently transmitted her voice to Jiang Chen and continued, “He once entered the fourth area and came out of it unscathed. What is most important is he mastered one of the Goddess of Empyrean’s 36 magical techniques, the Great Destruction Palm.”

Moreover, Hou Jue’s Martial Dais was at heaven grade, and if he was given enough time to build up power, the might released by the Great Destruction Palm would be unimaginable.

They realized how outrageous this gamble was only because they knew such information. Hou Jue had asked Jiang Chen to block his palm strike, which meant Jiang Chen must stand in place and wait for Hou Jue to attack with his palm strike.

When Hou Jue witnessed Yiya’s response, he managed to guess that Jiang Chen also knew some information about him.

“You don’t dare to take my challenge any longer, do you?” Hou Jue’s smile became slightly disdainful.

“I haven’t said anything yet. So how did you discern that I don’t dare to take it any longer?” Jiang Chen spoke mockingly.

Hou Jue was taken aback by this, and he frowned. He wondered whether Jiang Chen didn’t know who he was.

“If it’s like that...” An ice-cold glint flickered in Hou Jue’s eyes.

“Apologize!” The white-clothed woman behind them who had kept her silence until now suddenly spoke. It was obvious that the white-clothed woman didn’t want to cause a scene due to such a matter, and, as long as Jiang Chen apologized for his previous actions, she would forgive him.

However, Hou Jue, who was about to use his palm move, wasn’t willing to accept this. But he didn’t say anything.

“Young miss, can you please answer my previous question?” Jiang Chen didn’t feel like he had made any mistakes, and he was still concerned about the woman’s identity.

The white-clothed woman’s chest heaved up and down several times, before she turned around. She wouldn’t meddle in this matter any longer!

“It is you who brought such trouble upon yourself.”

This was what Hou Jue had hoped for. After he witnessed this, he released his raging power before any more incidents occurred.

“He’s so powerful!”

Wen Tao and the other five people were startled. They didn’t expect that Hou Jue possessed such great power. They had assumed that he wasn’t too strong because he asked their team to work for him. But now it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

Since rules had been set beforehand, Hou Jue couldn’t be interrupted at all while he was building up enough power. It could be seen that he was moving his hands while he was getting connected with the whole world. His palms contained a vigorous power, which he wouldn’t have been able to build up in a real battle.

“Great! Destruction! Palm!” If Hou Jue were fighting against a real enemy, his opponent wouldn’t allow him to release such a palm strike’s whole might.

“A heaven-grade Martial Dais! It’s really outstanding!”

Meanwhile, all the spectators were humans, and that was they could clearly detect the great power of Hou Jue’s Martial Dais.

Yiya became slightly anxious. Even though Jiang Chen possessed a Supreme Will, he would still be at a disadvantage.

Shi Lezhi was just at the intermediate stage of the Martial Emperor Realm and had only an earth-grade Martial Dais. But Hou Jue was at the late stage of the Martial Emperor Realm and had a heaven-grade Martial Dais. Moreover, he used one of the Empyrean Goddess’s magical techniques. These two people weren’t on the same level!

Even Yiya, who had witnessed Jiang Chen fighting, had such an opinion. As for Wen Tao and the five other people, they were about to be even more shocked.

Rumble!

The Great Destruction Palm Strike possessed a shocking momentum, and a giant palm seal fell from the sky and was about to land on Jiang Chen’s head. It was like a human extended his hand to crush a trifling ant.

The white-clothed woman turned around and wore a solemn expression on her face.

Jiang Chen, who faced such a palm strike, was still unmoved, as if he didn’t detect its destructive power that could kill him.

Even Hou Jue himself was scared by such a sight, let alone other people. He just wanted to teach Jiang Chen a lesson and didn’t want to kill him. But the affair had already reached such a juncture, and he wasn’t able to stop his attack.

At such a crucial juncture, Jiang Chen raised his right hand high and started using a Sword Art.

“Wind Blade!” Jiang Chen used the new move, which he just comprehended recently, and it could be considered the improved version of the Peerless and Magnificent Wind Technique. A formless sword turned into a peerless blade, which couldn’t be seen clearly by the naked eye. But one could still feel it and detect it. However, people couldn’t deduce the blade’s might as they could deduce the might of Hou Jue’s Great Destruction Palm Strike.

They could only depend upon their instincts to judge. But it didn’t really matter as they shortly got to see such a sword move’s power.

When Hou Jue’s Great Destruction Palm Seal came in contact with the sword wind, it seemed like a frail piece of cloth, which had run into a sharp blade, and it was forcefully torn apart by it. Moreover, it seemed like it wasn’t a strenuous task for the sword wind, and it managed to smoothly cut the Great Destruction Palm Seal in half.

Surprise appeared on Hou Jue’s face, and he ended up sustaining heavy injuries. His face was as pale as paper, while he was spouting large mouthfuls of blood. It was him who wanted to teach Jiang Chen a lesson, yet he had ended up beaten until he spouted blood.

“How is this possible?”

Such an outcome was out of Yiya’s expectations, and it was especially the case since when Jiang Chen used the sword move, she noticed that his Martial Dais’s grade went from earth grade to heaven grade. Did this mean that when Jiang Chen fought against Shi Lezhi, he didn’t use his whole power?

What was more important was whether Jiang Chen was still hiding something else and whether his Martial Dais would still raise by another grade and reach the immortal grade? The other people didn’t overthink this matter like Yiya. They were still stunned by Jiang Chen’s sword move. The terrifying might of the Void Divine Wind and Supreme Will could be discerned clearly through comparing the Wind Blade Sword Move to the Great Destruction Palm Seal.

However, Jiang Chen still discovered a certain matter, and that was even though he was keeping his Martial Dais at the same level as his opponents, he was still able to crush them thoroughly, and he couldn’t help but wonder whether he should keep it at a level lower than his opponent. Jiang Chen didn’t ponder much about this matter, and he looked once again at the white-clothed woman.

“My surname is Xiao. So what?” The white-clothed woman didn’t wait for Jiang Chen to ask once again, and she spoke angrily.

However, Jiang Chen who had gotten a reply unexpectedly didn’t know what he should do or say, and he didn’t know where he should start.

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s reply, Yiya and the others couldn’t help but furrow their brows, while the white-clothed woman’s face became filled with suspicion. Jiang Chen had caused a scene and wasted so much time. Yet, after he got the answer he wanted, he said it was nothing?

Even Hou Jue, who was recuperating, almost spouted blood out of anger. However, he still didn’t direct his anger to Jiang Chen because he was injured, and delight even appeared in his eyes. “Since you have such power, I have nothing to say. So, let’s continue,” Hou Jue said.

“You don’t have anything to say. But now, I have something to say,” Yiya spoke.

“Young master Hou, your fighting prowess isn’t weak, and if we don’t count Jiang Chen, you are stronger than all of us. So, why did you seek us out?” Yiya asked.

Wen Tao and the others had gotten over the shock brought on by Jiang Chen, and, after they came back to their senses, they realized that something was fishy.

“If we have many people, it will be easier to handle everything.” An awkward look appeared on Hou Jue’s face for a moment.

“I can’t accept such a statement,” Yiya said.

“Could it be that you want to go back on our deal? Don’t you want the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch’s remains?” Jiang Chen spoke with displeasure.

Yiya and the others were stumped by such a question. They suspected that a trap was hidden behind this, but they still coveted the remains of one of the four great sages. This was a demonstration of man’s contradictory nature.

“The Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch governed a divine sect and had an illustrious and great status. But regardless, if it’s his divine sect’s land or his private abode, they aren’t in the Bloody Sea Realm.”

While they were deadlocked, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke, which caused the others to look at him with a surprised gaze.

“Jiang Chen, is what you have stated true?” Yiya asked.

“It’s obviously true. He got the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch’s title because he was accustomed to traveling around and wouldn’t leave anything on any great continents,” Jiang Chen said, and he surprised the others with his confident tone.

“You are speaking as if you were close to the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch, and you knew him well?” Hou Jue spoke with displeasure.
