On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

The outskirts of Nancheng.

The legacy of the two saints.

The desolate mountains and wilderness, which were originally deserted due to the pervasive evil aura, are now bustling with activity once again.

On the road leading to the ruins.

The traffic jam stretched for several kilometers, with horns blaring incessantly.

The transportation department was mobilized immediately.

Traffic control measures were implemented, but to no avail.

Many people simply abandoned their cars on the roadside and ran on foot towards the ruins.

Outside the cordon.

It quickly became packed with people.

There were martial artists dressed in various training uniforms, reporters carrying long lenses and short cannons, and even more internet celebrities holding up their phones and live streaming.

Everyone was excited.

My blood is boiling.

"Make way! Make way!"

Just then, a commotion arose on the outskirts of the crowd.

A group of law enforcement officers dressed in black uniforms with the South City Martial Arts Association emblem on their chests were seen parting the crowd and striding towards them.

The leader was a burly, middle-aged man with a resolute face.

It was Lei Qianjue, the president of the Nancheng Martial Arts Association.

"It's Chairman Lei!"

"President Lei is here too!"

The crowd parted automatically to make way, their gazes towards Lei Qianjue filled with awe.

This is the pillar of stability in the martial arts world of Nancheng.

A genuine King Wu.

Lei Qianjue's expression was solemn. Ignoring the surrounding discussions, he walked straight to the edge of the evil aura.

He looked up at the churning black fog ahead, his gaze grave.

This was not his first visit to the Twin Saints Monument.

But no one ever imagined that the Martial Emperor, whose whereabouts could not be found, had actually been within these ruins all along.

His true strength is simply unfathomable.

Lei Qianjue barely managed to suppress his shock, straightened his clothes, and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting to the black mist.

"Lei Qianjue, president of the South City Martial Arts Association, requests an audience with you, senior!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it contained a powerful inner energy and carried far away.

however.

Black mist churned, and all was silent.

There was no response from inside.

Lei Qianjue was not discouraged and bowed again.

"It is truly an honor for Nancheng to have you here, esteemed senior!"

"This junior had no intention of disturbing your cultivation, senior. I merely wished to personally express my gratitude for your earlier intervention, which averted a great calamity for my Southern City!"

The depths of the ruins remain silent.

The association's senior members behind Lei Qianjue exchanged glances, all wearing wry smiles.

It seems this senior really doesn't want to see outsiders.

Lei Qianjue stood there silently for a long time, and seeing that he could not get a response, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Pass on my orders!"

He turned and gave his men a deep, resonant order.

"Expand the cordon to five kilometers! No one is allowed to approach the ruins without authorization; violators will be severely punished!"

"yes!"

……

Two days later.

Taihe Province.

Martial Arts Association.

An underground chamber.

This is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Taihe Province. The surrounding walls are made of special alloys, which cannot be shaken even by a full-force attack from a Martial King.

at this time.

The door to the secret room slowly opened.

He Taiqing, dressed in a black Tang suit, finally came out from inside.

His face was still somewhat pale, and his breathing was weak, indicating that his injuries had not fully healed.

After all, Medusa's petrification ability is terrifying.

And then there was Lu Chuan's sword strike.

It almost caused him serious injury.

"President!"

The group of subordinates who had been waiting outside bowed in unison.

He Taiqing nodded slightly.

"How's the situation outside while I've been in seclusion these past few days?"

"What's going on in Jiangnan Province?"

A trusted subordinate quickly stepped forward, pulled out a tablet, and displayed a video.

"President, look at this."

"This is a live stream recording that went viral online a few days ago. The location is the Twin Saints Ruins in the south of the city."

He Taiqing took the tablet and glanced at it casually.

however.

next second.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

A terrifying killing intent instantly erupted from him.

In the video, although only the back of the person was visible, the blue robe and the figure...

He would recognize you even if you were reduced to ashes!

"It's him!"

He Taiqing growled through gritted teeth.

"So that bastard was hiding in the Twin Saints' Ruins all along!"

That night.

Those two earth-shattering cyan sword energies.

The mysterious person who shattered his pride as a four-star Martial Emperor with a single sword strike!

That's the back view!

"good!"

"very good!"

*Click.*

He Taiqing abruptly crushed the tablet in his hand into powder, his eyes burning with rage.

"I was just worried I couldn't find you, but then you showed up on your own!"

"Why bother with live streaming?"

"Trying to attract attention!"

"You really think you're invincible just because you ambushed me?"

He Taiqing gave a cold laugh.

He lost that night partly because he had fought Medusa to a standstill and was in very poor condition.

On the other hand, they were also caught off guard by the opponent's sudden sneak attack.

just now.

His injuries have recovered to about 70-80%.

Moreover, he believed he had figured out all of Lu Chuan's secrets.

He's just a mere Martial King, nothing to fear!

"Pass on my orders!"

He Taiqing suddenly turned around and shouted sharply.

"Immediately send a letter to the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association!"

"I hereby formally challenge that cowardly scoundrel to a duel!"

"The time will be in half a month!"

"Place……"

"Right in the southern part of the city!"

This statement came out.

The entire audience was shocked.

All his subordinates stared wide-eyed at He Taiqing, their faces filled with disbelief.

President...

Should we take the initiative to challenge them?

This is a major event between two provinces!

Once war breaks out, it will be a fight to the death!

"President, this..."

His trusted subordinates hesitated.

"Should we report this to headquarters first?"

"Report my ass!"

He Taiqing's eyes were filled with madness.

"I'll earn my own revenge!"

"Go and do it!"

"yes!"

……

at the same time.

Southwest region, Heilongtan.

This place is also one of the forbidden zones for humans.

But relatively speaking, this place is also a paradise for demons.

Beside the Blackwater Pool, which is shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round, sat two people of different appearances.

On the left is a burly middle-aged man with two prominent dragon horns on his head, exuding a domineering demonic aura.

It was none other than the Abyss Demon King, one of the three great demon kings of the Southwest.

The one on the right is a short, ugly old man.

The old man's skin was covered in pustules, making him look extremely disgusting.

This is another demon emperor—the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.

"Hehe, old mudfish, have you heard?"

The Devouring Demon Emperor picked at his toes and said in a sarcastic tone,

"A while ago, that slut Medusa went to a human city, but she tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing more than she gained, coming back looking utterly humiliated."

"I heard even their tail was cut off. Tsk tsk tsk, that's really tragic."

The Abyss Demon King laughed heartily.

He picked up the bowl of blood wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Serves you right!"
