"Master?"

Upon hearing Honghuang's words, Zhu Chen immediately realized what she meant.

Although the pressure emanating from this person was not as suffocating as that from the Crimson King and Willow God last time, it was still far beyond what he could handle. Clearly, this person was not an ordinary divine cultivator; he was very likely a Heavenly God Realm cultivator or even a stronger Void Realm cultivator.

However, what intrigued Zhu Chen was that the oppressive aura released by this person did not seem to be intentionally targeted at him.

The other party is targeting everyone here.

Because at the very moment that oppressive aura descended.

He noticed that all the venerable ones around him also had expressions of difficulty.

"Gentlemen, the great enemy has not yet been eliminated. Why do you fight amongst yourselves here?"

At this moment, a huge and deep pupil suddenly appeared in the sky, completely enveloping this world.

These pupils seemed to contain an endless galaxy and sky, with waves of heavenly might flowing out, making it impossible to look directly at them, yet impossible to look away.

Zhu Chen sensed a familiar aura in that pupil.

Double pupils!

This is actually a double pupil eye!
Moreover, it is a double pupil that represents the unity of the Great Dao.

Could it be her?

A person instantly came to Zhu Chen's mind.

An ancient woman with double pupils.

In this world, the only person who could achieve the unification of their double pupils at this time is probably this one.

"You actually know me..."

Just as Zhu Chen was pondering, the voice came down from the sky again.

This time, as the voice rang out, a slender woman with flowing robes and long hair appeared out of thin air from those double pupils, descending slowly amidst endless divine radiance like a goddess, finally stopping above the treasure ship.

The woman's face was obscured by chaotic energy and celestial light, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, the other party's unparalleled elegance and invincible aura made everyone present feel apprehensive and insignificant.

Oh no, I forgot this woman has 'telepathy'.

Zhu Chen subconsciously murmured a sentence to himself.

However, he immediately regretted the thought as soon as he made it.

This female cultivator with double pupils possesses the ability to read minds, meaning that everything she thinks in her heart can be known by the other person.

If you're mentally criticizing the other person now, aren't you just exposing yourself?
"I do possess the ability to read minds, but how did you know that?"

The woman with double pupils teleported to Zhu Chen's side. Her speed was faster than lightning. Zhu Chen didn't even see her afterimage before he found her already standing behind him.

The skill of 'telepathy' was too difficult to counter, so Zhu Chen was too lazy to rack his brains to deal with the other party and simply started to let his mind wander.

He recited all of them, including Aoi Sora versus Tai Dasen, Ryuzawa Loli versus Li Dalong, and Ai Iijima's annihilation of Wu Yaqian.

In short, they think whatever they want to be shameless.

Because she received some 'useless' information, the woman with double pupils was forced to withdraw her 'telepathic ability'!
She turned to look at Zhu Chen, frowned, and asked, "You're so young and you're already learning bad habits. How will you be able to stand up to a great enemy when we face them in the future?"

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "If a formidable enemy were to appear in the future, why would I want to stand alone?"

The woman with double pupils had a glint in her eyes: "Naturally, it's to protect our homeland."

Zhu Chen laughed upon hearing this: "Are you kidding me? I'm already wanted by those ancient sects in the Upper Realm, and you want me to protect their backyard? If that day ever comes, I'll only protect the people around me. As for the safety of others, that's none of my business!"

The woman with double pupils glanced at Zhu Chen with some surprise.

She never expected that the newly enthroned emperor of the Fire Kingdom would be so vengeful.

"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. When the great calamity comes, no one can escape unscathed, and you will be no exception." The woman with double pupils hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

She has survived since the Immortal Ancient Era and knows how terrifying other realms are.

If darkness were to return one day, everyone would be plunged into utter ruin.

Even she was no exception.

The main reason she appeared here this time was because she saw Zhu Chen's potential for growth and wanted him to become a powerful force to resist the alien world in the future, rather than perish here.

"I've said it before: I will protect those who deserve it, but everyone else is none of my business!"

Zhu Chen looked directly at the woman with double pupils and gave her a positive answer once again.

The Upper Realm and Immortal Domain have long since become corrupt and decaying.

If one day the aliens really invade the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he will only protect the people around him!

He didn't want to care about the life or death of other people, nor did he have any reason to care.

Besides, Shi Hao is there to protect us in this life.

It's not his place to dictate everything for eternity.

He just wanted to become stronger so he could live a carefree life, with no one daring to provoke him.

“Senior, we are here on the orders of the five ancient sects of the Upper Realm to capture this heinous monster. We hope that you will spare us your troubles for the sake of the five ancient sects…”

Just then, a cultivator at the peak of the Venerable Realm suddenly stepped out from the crowd, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the woman with double pupils, and spoke.

"The Five Ancient Religions? What are they? Tell me about them..."

The woman with double pupils turned to look at the man, a glint of starlight flashing in her eyes.

"--boom!"

Before the man could answer her question, he was struck as if by lightning, coughing up blood and falling from the sky!

"Go back and tell the people behind you that I've protected Zhu Chen. If they're not satisfied, they can come down to the mortal realm and find me!"

The woman with double pupils made a domineering statement that stunned everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

They finally found an opportunity to besiege Zhu Chen, and now that their prey is right in front of them, how can they explain it to those sect leaders if they give up now?
Compared to these people's concerns, Zhu Chen felt even more regret.

There are at least two or three hundred Venerable Realm cultivators gathered here at this moment.

If he kills all these people here, he will definitely be able to obtain a lot of cultivation resources.

Then he would select two people with good talent and potential from among these people and give them to Yao Lao as the physical bodies for his resurrection. That would complete the task.

Now that this woman with double pupils has appeared, she is ostensibly protecting him, but in reality, she is causing him to lose a lot of cultivation resources in a roundabout way.

This is a huge loss!
“Senior, I actually think that fellow Daoist was right. This is a feud between us. For someone of your level, a sect leader, to interfere is really a case of bullying the weak…”

Zhu Chen didn't know why this woman with double pupils valued him so much, but none of that mattered anymore.

What he wanted was the resources from those ancient sect disciples, not the verbal promise of protection they offered.

In his eyes, such verbal promises of protection are no different from those stingy bosses in his past life who only made empty promises but never gave raises or bonuses—they have no practical value.

"Has this guy gone mad? He actually abandoned the protection of a cult leader?"

Honghuang and Xuanming all widened their eyes upon hearing Zhu Chen's words.

If someone were to be favored by a cult leader, they would be overjoyed.

Instead of being grateful, he complained that the other party was being nosy.
Is this a disease?
