Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Jiang Tianrui felt his cultivation level drop to half-saint in an instant, and he was immediately furious.

They thought they could easily defeat the Xia Emperor in the Chaotic Star Sea and quickly find the tomb of the Great Emperor or the cave of some powerful being. However, they did not expect that such a wild star field as the Chaotic Star Sea actually hides a saint.

Moreover, that sage was extremely powerful.

The fact that his clone did not transmit his memories after his death indicates that the saints of the Chaotic Star Sea possessed greater strength than him.

After that saint sealed off the space, his divine sense was unable to penetrate the spatial seal, or his divine soul was completely crushed in an instant.

Those who can do these two things are at least at the seventh level of the Saint realm.

Jiang Tianrui's face turned extremely ugly. There was actually a Saint Level 7 expert in the Chaotic Star Sea?

Thinking about it this way, the Great Emperor's Tomb in the Chaotic Star Sea must have been discovered by other forces long ago.

However, to be fair, there are very few Saint-level experts in the entire Huangshan Star Region. Those who can cultivate to the seventh level of Saint must be direct subordinates of the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan.

Although the Emperor Huangshan has many affiliated forces, these forces can be divided into direct and collateral branches. The Canghai Sect can be considered an affiliated force of the Emperor Huangshan, but it is only a collateral branch and is not considered a major force in the entire Huangshan Star Region.

Jiang Tianrui couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the powerful figure in the Huangshan Star Region was sent by the Huangshan Quasi-Emperor, or that after the Huangshan Quasi-Emperor's direct lineage discovered the Great Emperor's tomb, they specially arranged for a powerful figure to guard the Chaos Star Sea to prevent other forces from spying on it?

Didn't Emperor Huangshan say a hundred years ago that he obtained some kind of opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor level, which is why he chose to go into seclusion? The opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor level is not so easy to obtain. It is very likely that Emperor Huangshan's opportunity came from the Great Emperor's tomb.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianrui's main body broke out in a cold sweat. If that Saint-level expert in the Chaos Star Sea was indeed sent by the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan, then the Canghai Sect's trespassing into the Chaos Star Sea and discovering the existence of the Great Emperor's Tomb would likely lead the direct subordinate forces of the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan to destroy the Canghai Sect to prevent the Canghai Sect from leaking the news of the Great Emperor's Tomb.

At this moment, Mu Qinglan was unaware that her sealing off of space, preventing Jiang Tianrui's divine sense from escaping the Chaotic Star Sea, had produced such an effect, causing Jiang Tianrui, the Supreme Elder of the Canghai Sect, to imagine so many things.

Beyond the world a thousand fathoms high.

After seeing that all the cultivators of the Canghai Sect had been wiped out by Mu Qinglan, Lu Chen flew directly to Mu Qinglan's side and said with a smile, "With such a powerful protector as you, Lan'er, I feel at ease."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Qinglan quickly suppressed her killing intent and also withdrew her saintly aura.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she turned to look at Lu Chen and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen's gaze fell upon the traitors of the Great Xia Dynasty. As his gaze swept over them, the traitors immediately knelt on the deck of the immortal ship and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare us! We were forced into this by the sect!"

"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong, please give us another chance!!!"

……

By this time, the traitors were terrified. They had thought that by joining forces with the extraterrestrial forces, they could easily overthrow Lu Chen's rule, but they never expected that Lu Chen was hiding so deeply, and that there was actually a saint by his side.

That woman could kill a saint with a single sword strike. Even if they tried to escape now, it would be too late. Their lives are now entirely in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor.

Lu Chen said calmly, "From the moment you betrayed the Great Xia Dynasty, you should have anticipated the consequences of your defeat."

At this point, Lu Chen spoke again to Mu Qinglan, saying, "Kill them all."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Mu Qinglan unleashed a sword strike. In the next instant, all the traitors, along with the immortal boat beneath their feet, turned into particles and vanished into the void.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the War Dragon Army were completely shocked. They stood on the deck of the immortal ship, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Before these sect disciples were integrated into the Great Xia War Dragon Army, their respective sects had given them some instructions and tasks.

They originally thought that with the invasion of an enemy at the Saint level, the Great Xia Dynasty was about to collapse, and they would soon regain their freedom and do whatever they wanted.

However, the Heavenly Emperor was completely unharmed, and the invading Saint-level experts were instead dealt with by a single sword strike from a Saint beside the Heavenly Emperor.

With such powerful saints by his side, who else could possibly kill the Heavenly Emperor?

If they dare to rebel or have other ulterior motives, they will probably meet the same fate as those Great Xia traitors who went to contact the Canghai Sect.

The Heavenly Emperor is clearly making an example of someone.

In an instant, the loyalty of the sect disciples in the War Dragon Army to Lu Chen soared, and they no longer cared about the tasks assigned to them by their sects.

After dealing with the traitors present, Lu Chen turned to the Zhanlong Army soldiers and said, "Now that the external crisis has been temporarily resolved, we should head back."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, many disciples from various sects within the War Dragon Army knelt down, crying, "Your Majesty, spare our lives! We were forced by our sects! We never intended to betray Your Majesty!!!"

"Your Majesty, I have never leaked any information about the War Dragon Army to the sect!!!"

"I am willing to leave the sect and swear to serve His Majesty to the death!!!"

……

The disciples of the War Dragon Army thought that Lu Chen was going to deal with them next, so they all knelt down decisively and told him all the tasks their sects had given them.

Seeing the sect disciples kneeling so readily, Lu Chen smiled faintly. It seemed that his trick was indeed very effective. He had never intended to deal with these small fry; his target was the sect power behind them.

Lu Chen then said, "You are all subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty. I will give you another chance. I will not pursue what you did in the past, but if anyone colludes with foreign forces again and introduces them into the Chaos Star Sea, I believe you know very well what the consequences will be."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's figure disappeared from the spot.

After regaining their senses, the soldiers of the War Dragon Army hurriedly said in unison, "Respectfully seeing off His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!!!"

After Lu Chen returned to the Thousand Blades World, he arrived at the teleportation portal, where Mu Qinglan appeared behind him. "Your Majesty, are you planning to return to the Heavenly Chen World?"

Lu Chen said, "Well, the Canghai Sect probably won't send anyone so soon. I need to go back to the Tianchen World to try to break through."

Today's experience spurred Lu Chen, making him realize the limitations of the Holy Radiance Armor and that he was still far from being a true saint.

He was already somewhat powerless against a cultivator at the second level of the Saint realm. If an even stronger Saint appeared next time, wouldn't he be completely defenseless? Therefore, he wanted to break through to the Saint realm as soon as possible to gain the ability to protect himself. (End of Chapter)
