"It was my fault before. I hope you don't take it to heart." Wan Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and changed the words in his mouth. He knew that he couldn't kill Li Chen, at least not in a direct confrontation.

"Father!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. It was none other than Princess Jiayi. She had witnessed everything and did not wish for Li Chen and Wan Tongtian to end up in a deadlock.

Li Chen turned to look at Jia Yi.

"Be careful!"

A shout of surprise sounded out, and Little Charmer looked behind Li Chen in horror.

The moment Li Chen turned around, a black profound imprint suddenly appeared in Wan Tongtian's hand. It exuded a dense baleful aura and it was extremely terrifying. That thing was heading in Li Chen's direction.

Wan Tongtian himself was also a martial king. He thought that his sneak attack would be enough to kill Li Chen, but Li Chen suddenly turned around and threw out his fist.

"Boom!"

When the fist and the profound seal met, Wan Tongtian felt something horrifying happen. The profound seal was actually cracking inch by inch and with a "bang", Li Chen's fist was completely unharmed.

Wan Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes wide. Li Chen was extremely fast and arrived in front of Wan Tongtian in the blink of an eye. He grabbed Wan Tongtian by the neck, his eyes filled with killing intent!

"No!"

Jia Yi exclaimed. She had never expected the situation to turn out like this.

Hearing Jia Yi's words, Li Chen had a mocking expression on his face, "Do you think that ambushing me is an easy thing to do?! "Originally, I wanted to kill you directly, but Princess Jiayi begged for mercy on your behalf …"

Wan Tongtian's face was flushed red, but because Li Chen had grabbed his neck, he was unable to say anything.

The corner of Li Chen's mouth curled up and his fingers loosened. Wan Tongtian panted heavily. Under the gaze of the crowd, he never would have thought that he would lose so much face.

Just when he wanted to catch his breath, he heard Li Chen's voice from above: "I helped you guys, but you still want to kill me. I won't kill you, but you don't need to be the Emperor of Darknorth Kingdom! "Give up!"

"What do you want?" Wan Tongtian trembled. He could hear a terrifying killing intent from Li Chen's words.

The light in Li Chen's hand was so bright that it struck Wan Tongtian's lower abdomen.

"AHH!"

Wan Tongtian released a miserable scream. The scene in front of them was truly shocking, but no one dared to speak up for Wan Tongtian.

Li Chen directly crippled Wan Tongtian. Such a person, if he had power and strength in his hands, he would not let Li Chen go no matter what. Naturally, Li Chen could not be soft-hearted.

Wan Tongtian directly fainted and from now on, he would never practice again.

Li Chen's gaze fell on Jiayi's face. Jiayi stepped forward step by step and her eyes shone with an indescribable light.

He did not have any ill intentions towards Jia Yi. This kind of woman might be outstanding, but he did not like her. He had heard countless times about Xiong Ke acting like a man, but he felt that even if Jia Yi was a woman, so what?

Even without Wan Tongtian, he could still handle Beiming Nation well.

Standing in front of Li Chen, Jia Yi had a complicated expression on his face. Li Chen looked around at the crowd before his gaze finally landed on Jia Yi. "The throne isn't something that only men can sit on. You can too."

Finishing his words, Li Chen walked in the direction of Little Chun.

"Young master!"

The rumor wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Chen looked her up and down. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the gossip, he sent a voice transmission to Xiong Ke.

"I'll take Little Charmer and leave first. I'll come find you tonight."

This time, no one dared to block Li Chen's path.

Beiming Nation was in a complete mess. On the same day, Princess Jiayi announced to the world that Wan Tong Tian had taken care of everything in the world. His body was severely damaged, so she left everything to Princess Jiayi.

Princess Jiayi suddenly became the Regent Princess.

Naturally, the ministers were against this as well. However, Xiong Ke simply stood on the side of Jia Yi, which made many of them shut their mouths.

At night, Li Chen appeared in Xiong Ke's mansion.

"I've been delayed in Darknorth Kingdom for a long time, so I'll leave tomorrow with Little Charmer. As for Darknorth Nation, if you want to stay, then do stay!"

Xiong Ke definitely could not let go of Darknorth Kingdom. With the death of the Emperor, if Princess Jia Yi wanted to control the entire imperial palace, she absolutely needed the support of military force when necessary. With Xiong Ke, who held the military power, suppressing her, the voices of opposition would absolutely be a little quieter.

Li Chen thought for a moment, then took out a bit of Dragon Essence and gave it to Xiong Ke. "Take this first. If you need it, I hope that you can give it a hand!"

Xiong Ke's eyes flashed with an indescribable light. His words of thanks sounded too pale. Li Chen's feelings for him were enough to make him emotionally moved.

"Once this matter is over, I will go to the Southern region with Yang Wei."

Xiong Ke's words caused the corner of Li Chen's mouth to curl up slightly. "That would be the best."

After his agreement with Xiong Ke, Li Chen was ready to set off.

He and the herald each took a horse and disappeared into the night.

"Mistress, it's late at night. It's time to go to bed."

The mistress' palace maid said to Jiayi.

Jia Yi looked at the sky and suddenly sighed. She remembered that when Li Chen said that he was leaving, Princess Jia Yi would never follow him as she wandered to the ends of the earth.

At that time, she did not refute him. In fact, she knew that she would take over Beiming Nation sooner or later.

He just didn't expect it to be so early.

Her face finally lost its luster. From now on, she would become a female emperor of Darknorth Kingdom and start her own legendary life.

Li Chen was in no hurry to travel to the north with the Legend. He chose to leave at night because he did not want to say goodbye to Jia Yi. Although he did not like Princess Jia Yi, he did not want to become enemies with such a woman.

She really wasn't used to that kind of life in the imperial palace. Although it seemed luxurious, it made her feel very uneasy, and that day, she was even more frightened when she was falsely accused of something. If it wasn't for Li Chen's strength and protection, she wouldn't even know what would happen in the end.

However, Wan Tongtian's words made her feel extremely uneasy.

This place really wasn't suitable for her to live in.

She preferred freedom.

The two of them soon arrived at a small town.

At this time, it was close to daybreak. Looking at the red sun in the sky, he felt a surge of warmth as he was accompanied by his most beloved person.

However, Li Chen felt that something was wrong in his surroundings.

Ever since he left the Divine Wood City, he felt that there seemed to be someone following him.

After arriving at this small town, he felt even more threatened by a dangerous force that seemed ready to bite him at any moment.

His eyes narrowed. Who was it that was hiding in the dark? Could it be that Wan Tongtian still had strength left in him?

He didn't think so.

Seeing that Little Charmer didn't seem to feel anything amiss, Li Chen didn't make it clear. Instead, he found an inn with Little Charmer.

"Let's rest here for a day."

Although he had to go to the Stellar Sea to find the antidote, Li Chen was not in a hurry. Going to the Stellar Sea was a long way to go, so he was in no hurry to go for half a day.

As long as Li Chen was with him, regardless of whether it was on the road or what, the grapevine would be very willing.

The two of them stayed in an inn. Li Chen let Little Charmer rest for a while, while he waited.

He was waiting for the person who had been following him the entire time to appear.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

The door was suddenly knocked. Li Chen responded. A waiter entered the room. He first peeked his head in, then carried the bowl of food and said, "Sir, your dishes."

Li Chen had asked the other party to deliver it to his room, but the speed was a little too slow.

"Leave it." Li Chen said and then told the other person to get off.

After the waiter left, Li Chen took a few glances at the dishes. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was off.

Little Charmer didn't fall asleep at all. He got up from the bed, ran to the table and looked. "Wow!" "What a sumptuous meal!"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Are you hungry? You can eat and sleep again. "

She picked up her chopsticks and was about to take out the chopsticks when she sniffed the air and asked, "Do you feel that the chopsticks are very fragrant?"

Li Chen looked at the meal and said, "It is a little bit. I thought it was the taste of the food."

"Something's not right!"

"The dish has been taken by someone!" said Little Charmer as he snapped out of his daze.

Li Chen was a little surprised. "How is this possible?"

"I've used this before?" "The meat is very fragrant. There's a type of medicine that many people like to put in their dishes. Because it's easier to attract appetite from inside the dishes, most people just think that the dishes are delicious. They don't even know that it's poisoned!"

"There's such a thing?"

Li Chen was slightly surprised as he asked, "Who would scheme and harm us like this?"

"That's easy, as long as we pretend to be asleep," said Little Charmer as he rolled his eyes.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows. A trace of craftiness could be seen in his eyes that had been passed down since he was young. A flame ignited in his palm, burning away some of the food on the spot.

After the two finished this, they waited for the commotion outside.

Li Chen was still thinking about who would want to harm him, but not long after, he heard sounds of movement coming from outside.

"They should have all eaten it!"

His voice was soft, but Li Chen had already detected his conversation with his divine sense. He pulled Little Charmer and indicated for her to pretend to be asleep with him.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

"Young master! Your hot water has been boiled, I'm coming in! "

Li Chen and Little Charmer did not say anything. The voices outside sounded a little excited and they immediately said, "Come in quickly. There's no sound!"

Li Chen's eyes were closed, but he could clearly feel everything outside.

Two strong men walked in. There was indeed a large barrel at their feet, but there was no water inside.

When one of them saw Li Chen and Little Chun lying on the bed, he revealed an evil smile and said, "My thyme is definitely very effective. Look at them, they haven't even eaten a single piece!"

"Stop showing off! Hurry and send them over, the higher ups want them! "
