A cruel expression appeared on Li Chen's face as his body radiated a powerful light. The spiritual energy in his hand was like a blade as it sliced through Nangong Jue's neck. Nangong Jue wanted to escape, but he didn't expect the spiritual energy in Li Chen's hand to be so sharp!

With a 'bang', the head rolled down, and the bloody scene caused those watching to stare in a daze.

Not only the Punishment King's men, even those in Deng Zhou City were stunned when they saw that Nangong Jue had been killed.

The Punishment King and Nangong Jue were killed? Those two devil-like people were actually killed!

Li Chen raised his head. His dark eyes gave off a terrifying light. Many people lowered their heads under his gaze.

The corner of Li Chen's mouth curled up. His footsteps were so close to the heavens as he quickly arrived in front of the Punishment King's army. His speed was too fast, and by the time everyone reacted, one of the high-ranking officers had already been beheaded.

"Shua shua shua!"

After a few moments, around a dozen people fell to the ground. The crowd of the Punishment King began to panic.

Li Chen shouted, "The Punishment King is dead! Those who surrender can do so lightly! "

The people he killed were all people that had an evil aura around them, and they were all willing to learn that evil technique. This alone showed that there was something wrong with their three views. That evil art could even erode a person's rationality. Li Chen would naturally not hold back when he killed someone like Nangong Jue with his twisted mental state.

However, he could not kill the rest of the rebel soldiers. He would have to wait for Xiong Ke and Jia Yi's confirmation first.

After all, he was not truly qualified to control their life and death.

"Pass my order, surrender now! Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy! " Princess Jiayi shouted from the top of the city gates. The gates below slowly opened as the soldiers of the city poured out.

This battle went much more smoothly than many of them had imagined.

Besides a few loyal followers of the Punishment King, many people directly chose to surrender. After all, the Punishment King was already dead, and no matter how they resisted, they would not escape failure. It would be better to surrender.

After this war, it would be much easier to take back more than half of the Darknorth Kingdom.

In the evening, Princess Jiayi held a grand feast.

Although Xiong Ke was injured, he still chose to attend.

At this moment, the most eye-catching person was naturally Li Chen.

It was only when she saw Li Chen's true appearance that she cried out in alarm.

"Many thanks for Young Master Li's help this time. Would Young Master Li be willing to follow me back to the Divine Wood City to receive my rewards?"

Li Chen originally wanted to refuse, but if he wanted to go to the Stellar Sea, he really had to pass by the Divine Wood City. He could only nod his head in agreement.

"Now that the Punishment King has been killed, your Majesty can finally be at ease." Xiong Ke sighed. A plan started to form in his eyes. He decided to follow Li Chen.

At the very least, there won't be any problems in Darknorth Kingdom for a long time.

With Princess Jiayi here, Beiming Nation will definitely flourish.

Three days later, they arrived at the Divine Wood City. Wan Tongtian had already received a letter from Xiong Ke.

Because he was Wan Tongtian, Xiong Ke did not hide his identity from Li Chen.

When Wan Tongtian found out that his opponent's name was Li Chen, he quickly sent people to investigate Li Chen's identity.

Li Chen had made a name for himself in the Southern Domain. At the very least, everyone who heard of him in the Southern Domain was filled with admiration.

Wan Tongtian's eyes lit up. Jade bottle? How great would it be if all of the [Life Transformation Spell] were from the Darknorth Kingdom?

He must think of a way to keep this Li Chen!

In the main hall, Li Chen had no intention to kneel down. With his status, he should be treated equally everywhere. After all, he was the sect master, and his strength was unfathomable.

However, Li Chen kneeling down made many ministers feel uncomfortable. They did not know Li Chen's identity and only felt that his arrogance was outrageous.

Immediately, someone said: "Who are you! Seeing your majesty, you actually refused to kneel! "

"How can such a disrespectful person appear in my great hall?"

In the Darknorth Kingdom, the only person who could see the Emperor without kneeling was Xiong Ke.

Xiong Ke had done a great job for Beiming Nation, so naturally, no one dared to find trouble with him. However, in these people's eyes, Li Chen was just a nobody.

A hint of mockery flashed in Li Chen's eyes. He raised his head to look at Wan Tongtian, who was on the dragon throne. Three to four years ago, he didn't have to kneel, but now it was even more impossible for him to kneel, "Does Your Majesty think I should kneel?"

Wan Tongtian, who was waiting for the Minister to show his might to Li Chen, was stunned, then he awkwardly said: "Young Noble Li must have done a great service in this civil war! We have granted him permission to not kneel down, so there's no need for all our beloved officials to care too much about it. "

Li Chen was a little unhappy in his heart. It was as if saying such words to Wan Tongtian was a heavenly gift even without him kneeling down. It was truly displeasing to hear.

Wan Tongtian didn't seem to see Li Chen's frown as he said to the people beside him, "My dear sirs, you may not know that Young Master Li made two moves when Deng Zhou City was attacked. That is why he helped my Beiming Nation get rid of its internal troubles. He is a hero!"

After the ministers heard this, they began to discuss amongst themselves.

"How do you think I should reward such a hero?"

The corners of Wan Tongtian's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile.

Xiong Ke was slightly unhappy. He understood that Wan Tongtian's old ailment had started again. He wanted Li Chen to return to his side.

He hoped Wan Tongtian wouldn't do that. Otherwise, if Li Chen didn't have that kind of heart, it would be difficult to deal with him.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Li is powerful, I think we should reward you with a thousand acres of good fortune!"

One of the officials said.

Wan Tongtian didn't nod, but smiled and looked at the crowd, waiting for them to say what they wanted to hear.

This group of ministers were all old and experienced, how could they not see that Wan Tongtian was not satisfied with this answer? They continued to say, "I think we have to give him ten thousand taels of gold …"

Even after receiving such a generous reward, Wan Tongtian could only smile. Even Li Chen didn't understand what Wan Tongtian meant.

Everyone could not figure out what Wan Tongtian was thinking.

"Prime Minister, what do you think I should send?"

Wan Tongtian saw that the discussion between the crowd was over, so he turned to the Prime Minister and asked.

"This humble official thinks that His Majesty has a lady, Jiayi, with a demure character and young hero, Young Master Li. The two of them are extremely compatible. What does Your Majesty think?"

The ministers in the crowd began to discuss enthusiastically, each feeling that the Prime Minister's words were very accurate.

If he could be the Prime Minister, then he would be the worm in Wan Tongtian's stomach. How could he not know what Wan Tongtian was thinking?

At this moment, everyone was talking about it. Wan Tongtian's eyes flashed with a smile as he looked at Li Chen and said, "Young Master Li, what do you think? "Princess Jiayi has been doted on by me since she was young, but she has a good temper and character. I also think that she can be compatible with young master."

"I refuse!"

Li Chen's eyes shined as he suddenly said this.

The main hall instantly turned cold. No one expected Li Chen to reject Wan Tongtian's suggestion.

"How dare you!" Your Majesty actually dares to reject your bestowment! "

Someone shouted at Li Chen. They wanted to give Li Chen An a crime, but Li Chen gave him an indifferent glance. With just one glance, Li Chen told him to keep the rest of his words.

The killing intent from those eyes made him instantly feel cold sweat on his back. For a moment, he did not dare to speak.

"Oh? "You don't want to?" Wan Tongtian slightly narrowed his eyes: "Can you tell me the reason? "Do you think that Jia Yi is not worthy of you?"

Li Chen smiled faintly, "His Majesty's suggestion is very good. Princess Jiayi is also a very outstanding person. However, I'm used to it. I'm afraid that Princess Jiayi won't be able to endure the hardships of wandering."

Li Chen's words were very straightforward and clear, but Wan Tongtian was very unhappy when he heard it.

To dare disobey him, this truly made him feel very unhappy.

And most importantly, Wan Tongtian understood the meaning behind Li Chen's words, which was that Li Chen would never choose to stay in Darknorth Kingdom no matter what.

How could this not make him angry?

The morning meeting ended unhappily, and Xiong Ke asked to see Wan Tongtian alone.

"Your Majesty must not have any thoughts towards Li Chen!"

Xiong Ke had an extremely serious expression. From his understanding of Li Chen, Li Chen was definitely not someone who would be manipulated by others. If he was forced into a corner, he really did not know what Li Chen would do.

"This Li Chen really doesn't know what's good for him!" Wan Tongtian narrowed his eyes, not even bothering to conceal his killing intent.

Xiong Ke advised, "He isn't a member of my northern region, nor is he a subject of my Darknorth Kingdom. He's powerful and can go anywhere. If we force him, no one in our Darknorth Kingdom will be able to stop him!"

Wan Tongtian sneered: "If I can't stop him, I'd rather destroy him! Do you know how much he has? Jade Bottle! A Supreme Dao weapon! That was not something that the Green Ming Sword could compare to! "

Xiong Ke wrinkled his brows as he understood that Wan Tongtian was really interested in Li Chen.

He still wanted to bring up the matter of releasing the armor, but seeing Wan Tongtian's appearance, he could only put it aside for now.

Li Chen was still living in the house from before. After separating from him for three or four years, he did not expect that he would have the chance to live here again.

"Young master!" When the grapevine saw Li Chen return, he hurriedly ran over. "What reward did the emperor give you?!"

The legend was originally greedy for money, and at this moment, she was even more excited to ask Li Chen what rewards he had given her. It had to be known that her greatest hobby was counting money!

Li Chen couldn't help but want to laugh as he looked at Little Charmer's greedy face. He purposely said, "That is a priceless treasure!"

"What is that thing?!" The young man's eyes lit up. Young Master, quickly tell me! "

"Unfortunately, I rejected him!" The corner of Li Chen's mouth curled into a faint smile as he looked at the astonished Little Announcement.

"What?" The rumors almost did not believe his ears. Li Chen had actually rejected a priceless treasure!

This really was … Little Charmer felt as if his heart was bleeding!

"Because I don't think you'd like that." Looking at Little Chun's petrified expression, Li Chen could not help but laugh.

"How can I not like it! That is a priceless treasure! "

Li Chen just smiled at Little Charmer, still not saying a word.
