At the same time, a few of his henchmen started to punch and kick the old man.

"Father …" "Ugh!"

As soon as the woman cried out, something was stuffed into her mouth, and she could only whimper.

"Humph!" You shameless fellow! "

Wan Shenjun smiled sarcastically. He had nothing better to do in his daily life and specialized in these kinds of heinous matters. His concubines numbered in the twenty-eight, not to mention the countless number of women he had once disregarded.

In any case, in his eyes, these people were cheap lives, unworthy of pity.

The group of lackeys acted unambiguously. The old man was beaten until he was curled up on the ground. At the beginning, he was still yelling, but soon, he could only whimper.

The surrounding people watched with rapt attention, but no one dared to step forward. Those who recognized Wan Shengchong only wanted to shrink their necks so that he wouldn't stare at them. Those who didn't know who they were, after receiving guidance from others, their gazes were filled with fear.

How could Li Chen and Gongsun Jian see such bullying? They immediately stepped forward and kicked away those lackeys.

Gong Sun Jian was angered to the extreme as he pulled over Wan Shen Chong. He then slapped Wan Shen Chong's face to the left and right, leaving him dizzy and dizzy. Soon, Wan Shen Chong's face became so swollen that it became a slit.

"Crown Prince!"

The group of people standing at the back didn't even have time to react before Wan Shenjun couldn't even let out a groan. They were greatly shocked and wanted to step forward.

A young man blocked their path. It was Li Chen.

Li Chen's expression was extremely disgusted as he said, "A group of bullies! Even the old man was not let off! "

"Who dares to provoke us!?" Do you know who we are!? We are the men of His Highness the Punishment King! "

A follower hurriedly said, delusional enough that Li Chen would be scared if he heard the name 'Punishment King'.

Who was Li Chen? Why would he be afraid just because of mentioning the Punishment King? "The smile on his face became even colder:" The Punishment King! What kind of thing was the Punishment King?! A dog with a man's power! I can tell that you guys have done quite a lot of evil things in the past! It would not be excessive to kill you all! "

The few guards felt a chill run down their spines when they heard those words! Who was the other party? He actually didn't even put the Punishment King in his eyes?

But no matter what, Wan Shen had fallen into the hands of another person, and he had been beaten up so badly. When they returned, they would definitely not be able to explain themselves, so they could only bite the bullet and take out their swords from their waists and charge forward.

Li Chen revealed a look of disdain. The group of people in front of him were all Pulse Piercing Mysterious Scholars, and they weren't even with the two Martial Ancestors he saw last time. He naturally did not put them in his eyes at all.

He immediately used his martial arts to beat the opponent to a pulp!

Very soon, the ground was filled with wails and howls, all of which belonged to Wan Shenchong's followers.

However, Wan Shenchong was not so lucky.

Gongsun Jian had always been a little angry, but now that he saw the person who had spread the rumors in front of him, he immediately vented out his anger.

Pitiful Wan Shenchong, knocked out, beaten awake, beaten unconscious again and again several times. Soon, he would be unable to breathe.

"Alright!" "Brother Gongsun." Li Chen indifferently stopped Gongsun Jian.

Gong Sun Jian snorted and threw Wan Shen Chong onto the ground, saying coldly: "You dog! Even after killing you, you still dirtied my hands! Scram! Get lost with your master! "

How could that group of people dare to object? They were stunned for a moment, and Li Chen immediately walked over with a knife in his eyes, "What? We're still waiting for them to fight! "

A few of his henchmen panicked and hastily ran towards the Punishment King's Manor with Wan Shenjun in tow.

Only then did Li Chen look at the two people who were saved. The girl who was saved had an expression of gratitude as she kneeled down towards Li Chen and Gongsun Jian.

Li Chen and Gongsun Jian hastily stopped them.

When he looked at the elder again, his body was green and purple. When he stood up, he was trembling. Li Chen's eyes turned cold. "I should have broken a few more bones for him!"

Gongsun Jian also thought the same way. His usually calm and wise eyes nearly spouted fire at this moment. It would be light if I kill him! "

"Thank you, Young Masters, for saving us!" The old man's face was filled with gratitude. Then, he said with a worried expression: "It's a pity that we can't stay in the Divine Wood City anymore … That Son of Myriad generations will definitely take revenge on us! "

At this moment, the woman also wiped her tears away and silently cried on the side.

Li Chen sighed. He wasn't from Darknorth Kingdom, so he couldn't protect these two.

Gongsun Jian thought for a moment before taking out a jade pendant and handing it to the old man. "Take this to the Heavenly Words Room of the Jade Pendant Mountain Pavilion and tell them what happened. They will take care of you."

Li Chen glanced at Gongsun Jian. With Gongsun Jian's protection, these two people would definitely not be harmed.

The two old men felt a wave of gratitude towards Li Chen and Gongsun Jian.

After dealing with the two of them, Gongsun Jian and Li Chen no longer had any of their original interest.

However, the two of them still went to the inn and ordered some food before sitting down.

"Today's matter is truly unbearable for me!" Even now, Gongsun Jian was still thinking about what he had just done: "And this is under the Emperor's feet, that Wan Shenchong thinks no one is worthy! Mischief! If it were in my family! Such a person would not even deserve pity if he were to die ten thousand times! "

This was the first time Li Chen heard Gongsun Jian mention the clan behind him. He was a little curious, but he didn't ask any further. Instead, he went along with Gongsun Jian's words and said: "Yeah! And we just happened to meet one another, think about how many people were bullied by Wan Shenchong before us! "

Thinking of this, Li Chen and Gongsun Jian were unable to remain calm.

This was especially so for Gongsun Jian. He came from a large clan with strict rules and regulations. This sort of bullying was not allowed. He truly did not expect that in this mortal world, there would actually be someone who would go against the laws of the kingdom! In his family, this was simply unheard-of. However, he was glad that the grumpy fellow at the inn had not come. Otherwise, Wan Shenjong would have been beaten to death!

As the two chatted and ate a little, Gongsun Jian slowly brought up his clan.

"I'm not afraid of Brother Li thinking too much. I'm from the Eastern Wasteland's elite martial family. I haven't told Brother Li my identity, so I hope you don't mind."

Li Chen was somewhat of a leader. Every region had some powerful aristocratic clans. These aristocratic clans were known as the Hidden Families. Normally, they wouldn't interact with the common people. He never expected that Gongsun Jian would come from such a clan.

"Originally, I would not participate in this gathering of geniuses, but the clan members felt that I should come here to train, so they came. However, Beiming Nation has really disappointed me." Gongsun Jian raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp, reducing his nobility and adding a bit of elegance to it.

Li Chen was slightly surprised. No wonder he had always felt that the temperament of Gongsun Jian was very special. It was because he had a temperament that ordinary clan members did not have. Every movement he made was filled with the aura of others.

He was completely different from the other experts.

"In hidden families like ours, there are actually many people with this kind of strength. These people in the secular world are incomparable! "To be honest, when I first met Brother Li Chen, I didn't really think much of you. Back then in the main hall, I felt that Brother Li Chen might be similar to those people from the ordinary families. Gongsun Jian's attitude was very sincere when he said this. With his status, it was already difficult for him to say some heartfelt words to Li Chen.

When Li Chen heard what Gongsun Jian said, he was also very surprised. However, he was not angry. For someone like Gongsun Jian, people from the mortal world were rarely able to see him in their eyes.

"After this gathering of geniuses is over, I hope brother Li Chen can come visit me, Gongsun Jian, for a while." Gongsun Jian sincerely invited.

Li Chen lightly smiled and said, "At that time, I'll have to trouble you more."

The two agreed to drink a cup of wine at the same time and smiled at each other. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they both felt that each other's character was very reliable and was worthy of befriending.

Gongsun Jian did not expect that this time, he would have a heart to heart talk with Li Chen and finally save his family. At that time, he truly lamented that it was a wise choice to have a relationship with Li Chen.

The two of them drank a lot and spoke a lot, but only after the sky had gradually turned dark did they return to the Imperial City.

In their carelessness, the two did not place Wan Shenchong in their eyes, but they had still overlooked the Punishment King's vengeful heart.

At the Punishment King's Mansion, seeing his beloved son being beaten up to such a state, the Punishment King was so angry that he smashed a table with a palm. Although it was a bit ridiculous for him to have only such a son in his life, he himself was treated like a precious pet.

The table instantly turned into ashes in his hands, scaring the dogs who were kneeling on the ground. As the servants of the Punishment King's Manor, they knew the temper of the Punishment King.

Even though he looked gentle and harmless, he was actually the one who would take revenge the most. Not only that, he was extremely patient as well.

Thinking about how Wan Tongtian had always treated him as a thorn in his heart, but he hadn't taken him down in so many years. It could be seen just how cautious the Punishment King was.

At this moment, Wan Shen Chong had already fainted.

The Punishment King helplessly waved his hand and had his men take him to recuperate. At this point, he could no longer afford to spare the other party any time soon.

However, attacking in front of a crowd was not something he had endured for many years.

He had long since broken through the threshold of the Divine Martial Sect and had hidden his strength from Wan Tongtian for a long time. Although outsiders were speculating on his strength, no one was able to pinpoint exactly how strong he was.

If Wan Tongtian didn't have the backing of some influential power, he would have …

Unfortunately, there was no point in saying all this.

A hint of hatred flashed through the Punishment King's eyes. Li Chen, Gongsun Jian? Bullying his son! He would make them pay!

When Li Chen woke up the next day, it was already morning.

Because of the rules of the competition, they would have to take one day off each day, so that they could cultivate and recover their spirit energy before starting the competition another day.
