Chapter 5689: Jian Wushuang Steps Onto the Stage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Empress calmed her emotions for a moment and conveyed her thoughts to Muchen. These two individuals couldnt be let go; they needed to ascertain the origin of the black mist that had just appeared.

Although Muchen was somewhat puzzled, if the Empress said so, it meant the situation was far from simple.

He refrained from asking further questions.

On the other hand, Shi Jiu was somewhat annoyed.

The formidable Four Tribulation realm expert beside him also opened his eyes at this moment.

He didnt look at Muchen but rather at the Empress of Yue Kingdom. Though he didnt speak, a cold snort from him shook the hall.

Elder Shi Han, indeed, I was rude just now! The Empress nodded slightly, expressing her apology.

This Elder Shi Han was a prominent figure from the Shi Kingdom in the previous era.

Back then, he possessed the strength of a peak Four Tribulation realm expert.

Unfortunately, he failed to overcome the tribulation and now, having become a scattered Tribulation Realm expert, his strength was inferior to that of a typical Four Tribulation realm expert.

Even so, he would have acted just now if not for Shi Jius intervention.

If he had acted, the Empress would have surely taken the opportunity to drive him away.

For the sake of Muchen, he had endured much.

Your Majesty Fengchen, dont forget, he is the grandson of the Fifth Lord. He carries the blood of our Shi family! Shi Hans voice was loud, not merely waving a big flag.

In the current Ancient Wood Continent, the Shi family held significant influence.

Moreover, the Shi Kingdom even possessed a Flame God that could suppress the existence of the Divine Wood King.

A small country like Yue Kingdom dared to treat descendants of the Shi family in such a manner.

If it werent for Shi Jius infatuation, he would have eagerly exposed this matter, letting the Yue Kingdom know how terrifying the anger of the Shi Kingdom could be.

Senior Shi Han, please stop talking. I, Shi Jiu, came here with determination! Gasping for breath, Shi Jiu, first injured by the power of Death and then internally shaken by Muchen, was somewhat unstable in his divine body.

His strength had declined quite a bit now.

But it didnt have much of an impact.

Now, only Jian Wushuang remained.

As long as he defeated Jian Wushuang, he could rightfully marry Jinchen or marry into the Yue Kingdom, and he was willing to do so.

As long as his grandfather supported him, it was enough.

Princess Jinchen behind the screen watched this scene with heartache.

The Empresss face showed some embarrassment at the words.

Had she ever been threatened like this before?

The anger of the Shi family?

The Empress also had anger in her eyes. If she were in the Seven Tribulation realm, what would she fear from the Shi Kingdom?

What would she fear from others entering the Yue Kingdom?

Unfortunately, she wasnt!

So she had to fight.

In this Sacred Assembly, she must secure the position of the Holy Maiden.

Then she would abdicate the throne of the Yue Kingdom, go to the Ancient Wood Sect with endless resources, and have no worries about the sixth tribulation.

After becoming a Six Tribulation realm expert, she would wholeheartedly prepare for the seventh tribulation.

With the support of the Ancient Wood Sect, she also had great confidence.

If she continued to advance, even with the combined strength of her entire clan, she wouldnt have the confidence to reach the Seven Tribulation realm.

The Six Tribulation realm was already her limit.

Moreover, it was unstable. Otherwise, she would have already crossed the sixth tribulation.

Muchen paid no attention to the foolish Shi Han and instead turned to Jian Wushuang, saying, Its all up to you. Dont feel pressured. Shi Jiu is already injured, so you still have a good chance!

Jian Wushuang nodded lightly and took a step forward, already in front of Shi Jiu.

When the Empress looked at Jian Wushuang, she couldnt quite see through him. Deep down, however, she hoped Jian Wushuang could defeat his opponent.

Princess Jincheng behind the screen also kept her eyes on Jian Wushuang. She always felt that Jian Wushuang resembled the mysterious strongman she had encountered on Hundred Flowers Mountain, and she was deeply worried.

Youre very strong! Jian Wushuang faced Shi Jiu.

No one expected that the first thing Jian Wushuang said would be to praise Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu smiled and said casually, Although I cant see through you, I can feel that youre different from the three before you!

Its true, I am somewhat different! Jian Wushuang admitted directly, without any concealment.

After saying that, to everyones surprise, he took out a Life-Restoring Fruit brought from the Qishen Temple from his mustard seed bag.

This was a treasure for enhancing divine bodies and also for restoring them.

In a realm dominated by divine power, it was most suitable for cultivators.

Swish!

Jian Wushuang threw it without any hesitation.

Shi Jiu was momentarily stunned but still caught it.

Not only Shi Jiu, but the others also couldnt understand what Jian Wushuang was doing.

Emperor Mangjia, who had been easily defeated by Shi Jiu earlier, was even more astonished and asked, What is he trying to do?

The Empresss eyes kept flashing, unable to understand Jian Wushuangs intentions.

Wu Li, whats going on here? Could it be that the fruit is highly toxic? Muchen speculated privately through voice transmission.

However, Wu Li just rolled his eyes, finding the prince embarrassing. He directly said, Nothing much, perhaps my nephew feels its too shameful to defeat an injured Emperor!

Hmm... Muchen was completely stunned.

Isnt this too confident?

Shi Jius previous burst of divine power had already exceeded 150,000-fold, and that was when he was injured. Perhaps hes even more powerful than this, and there might be a hidden move.

Isnt he afraid of losing?

At this moment, he couldnt care less and directly reminded Jian Wushuang, Newphew Wushuang, you must think it through. Whoever marries Jincheng will secure a spot in the Sacred Assembly!

Brother Muchen, saying such things takes the fun out of it!

Standing on the sidelines, Shi Han sneered at the two, but he couldnt help but look at Jian Wushuang differently for his actions.

Compared to the previous few, Jian Wushuang was clearly more pleasing to the eye.

This fool wasted the trump card he just used!

The two Emperors who were nearly killed by Shi Jiu looked at Jian Wushuang as if he were an idiot.

Shi Jiu held the green fruit in his hand, using Thought power to examine it and found nothing wrong. He sincerely said, Thank you!

Crack!

He took a bite, and green juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Powerful vitality and boundless divine power surged into Shi Jius body in an instant.

In just a moment, he returned to his peak state, even stronger than before.

Hum!

Shi Jiu clenched his fists slightly, exerting force, and his divine power erupted directly, accompanied by thunderous strength surging around him.

150,000-fold divine power.

How are you feeling? Have you recovered? Jian Wushuang inquired.

Shi Jiu immediately took out 100,000 universe crystals from his mustard seed and thanked him, saying, Please accept this, my friend. It would be a waste for me to keep such precious treasures!

He actually had recovery treasures of his own, but their effects were definitely not as potent as the Life-Restoring Fruit.

Just a fruit, its nothing worth mentioning, Jian Wushuang shook his head with a smile. However, since the other party insisted, he accepted it.

To avoid any awkwardness later on, if the other party felt hesitant to go all out against him.

Elder Muchen couldnt hold back anymore. At this point, he even doubted whether Jian Wushuang had been bribed.

Just as he was about to speak up, he was pulled back by Wu Li.

As a citizen of Yue Kingdom, though not of the royal family, Wu Li felt that if Muchen continued, the dignity of Yue Kingdom would be compromised.

Although the Empress was somewhat puzzled, she still greatly appreciated Jian Wushuangs actions.

A dispute among gentlemen should be conducted with integrity and honor.
