254: Have you ever met King Wu?

"I'll give you a chance, want to fight?"

The crowd looked at the black-clad youth who had appeared opposite them, exchanging glances for a moment.

Although their gazes were solemn, they feared that the other party had picked the wrong target this time.

To think he actually targeted Jiang Chen?

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chen looked at him curiously.

He did not know the person before him; they weren't familiar with each other at all.

Why did it sound like fighting him was some kind of honorable affair?

Hearing Jiang Chen's ignorant tone, the black-clad man...

He initially wanted to get angry subconsciously, but then he thought about it—this was just a backwater place, a very remote corner, so it was normal that they wouldn't know his reputation.

He even guessed that the other party didn't know the significance of the golden dragon ranking.

"Insolent!"

Before the black-clad Young Master could speak, three experts from the Wuzui Sect shouted angrily first.

"It's the Wuzui Sect!"

"These three are all Grand Elders of the Wuzui Sect!"

Seeing the three figures before them, the crowd exclaimed in shock.

The Grand Elders of the Wuzui Sect.

They were an extremely secretive existence, as very few people had truly seen this group.

They had always been a legend.

Who would have thought that it had now become reality, and that they would actually see the Grand Elders of the Wuzui Sect appear.

And it was precisely these people who had ambushed the Imperial Envoys.

"Heh, no need to be nervous."

"The Wuzui Sect is merely a small force cultivated by my Zhao Family."

"Jiang Chen, you haven't heard of my name, but I will forgive you this time; after all, it is understandable."

"Now listen well."

"This Young Master is Zhao Zixuan, a direct Disciple of the Zhao Family from the Lingcang Domain!"

"I am ranked ninth on the Lingcang Domain's golden dragon ranking!"

Ranked ninth on the golden dragon ranking!

The high prestige of this ranking was something even the people of the Great Lan Dynasty had heard of.

Lu Qian had only just joined the upper echelons, so she wasn't very familiar with it.

But when Yang Ding, Ye Zishan, and the others heard this name, they were instantly shocked.

"The golden dragon ranking!"

"A member of the Zhao Family!?"

Ye Zishan's eyes widened.

At this moment, the crowd finally understood.

So behind the Wuzui Sect was actually a force from the Lingcang Domain!

The Zhao Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Lingcang Domain!

No wonder they had no way to track these people down.

And they didn't know who was funding them.

It turned out to be just a force established by the Zhao Family on a whim, merely to seize demon resources.

Now everything was clear.

The tiny Great Lan Dynasty had actually been targeted by the Zhao Family, one of the Four Great Families, long ago.

This was truly both shocking and delightful.

Furthermore, the golden dragon ranking mentioned by the other party was clearly an extremely powerful ranking.

It was said that the ranking had a total of one hundred spots.

One needed at least the cultivation of the Heavenly Martial Realm to make the list.

Moreover, one could not be over thirty years old.

If one exceeded thirty years of age, they would be removed from the list.

"What ranking? The golden dragon ranking?"

"Is it a ranking for oil sellers?"

Jiang Chen once thought he had misheard; could it be that such things existed here too?

Zhao Zixuan did not expect Jiang Chen to be such a bumpkin, not even having heard of the golden dragon ranking, and he immediately prepared to lecture him.

Fortunately, Ye Zishan, who was on the side, hurriedly explained it to Jiang Chen.

"The golden dragon ranking! A ranking of Prodigies within the Lingcang Domain!"

"It is said that each of the top ten on the golden dragon ranking possesses strength comparable to a Martial King."

Ye Zishan said.

Jiang Chen nodded as he listened.

"Comparable to a Martial King? Then that means they haven't reached the Martial King Realm yet."

Jiang Chen seemed to have grasped the key point, and his eyes showed some disappointment.

After all, he was currently in desperate need of a Martial King to allow him to complete the task of killing an enemy three levels higher.

The last fraudster had claimed to be a Martial King, but after beating him to a pulp, there was no reward.

The guy in front of him went without saying; he was also a fake, which left Jiang Chen feeling somewhat disappointed.

Zhao Zixuan, across from him, heard Jiang Chen's tone of disappointment.

He was greatly enraged.

At the same time, he found Jiang Chen's disdainful expression incredibly laughable.

"Still thinking of a Martial King?"

"Kid, have you ever seen the Martial King Realm?"

"Time is up; it's time to head on your way."

Zhao Zixuan said indifferently.

He immediately signaled for the three Wuzui Sect experts beside him to step back.

At this moment, Jiang Chen spoke to Yang Ding and the others.

"Count this job on your Empress."

After all, Jiang Chen was not very familiar with these people, and there was absolutely no need for it to escalate to the point of taking lives.

Therefore, this life, and even the matter with the Zhao Family, naturally had to be counted on the Great Lan Dynasty.

He couldn't be the one doing everything and then also be the one to bear the responsibility for it.

"Ah? Oh... I will report this truthfully to the Empress. Rest assured, Lord Jiang, our imperial court and you are of one mind!"

Yang Ding was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said.

This point was very important.

The Empress had previously said that this must be expressed to Jiang Chen, and that the Great Lan Dynasty would absolutely not sit idly by regarding the Song Family matter.

It was just that, for the Great Lan Dynasty at the moment, they did not yet have the strength to intervene.

But if there was a chance, the Great Lan Dynasty would absolutely not give the other party any opportunity.

And they would absolutely not dump all the matters onto Jiang Chen.

Zhao Zixuan sneered upon hearing this.

"Heh, rest assured, you won't have that chance."

As his voice fell, Zhao Zixuan circulated his Mind-Cultivation Technique at this moment.

At this moment, a terrifying fluctuation of Aura was triggered on Zhao Zixuan's body.

Ninth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

The crowd felt tremendous shock at the Aura released from Zhao Zixuan's body.

How young was Zhao Zixuan, yet he had already stepped into the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Zhang Xian's eyes widened even further.

He had cultivated for so long, yet he had only reached the Second Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

And now, a Zhao Zixuan had suddenly popped out, directly releasing the cultivation of the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

It really was a case of comparing people and getting annoyed to death.

It was completely impossible to compare them under the same circumstances; the gap was indeed too large.

Zhang Xian even felt he had no face left to continue cultivating.

But upon second thought.

This Zhao Zixuan should just be an exception; in the entire Lingcang Domain, there were only so many people who could reach this level of cultivation at this age. He couldn't represent everyone, and even among Prodigies, it was impossible to have someone stronger than a Prodigy like Zhao Zixuan.

Furthermore, hadn't Zhao Zixuan still not broken through to the Martial King Realm?

That meant they could all be counted in the same tier of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Zhang Xian comforted himself in his heart.

Almost the instant the other party moved.

Jiang Chen's figure had already darted out.

"Ming Long Fist!"

This punch from Jiang Chen mobilized his Body Tempering Qi and the power of his Physical Body.

As this fist wind, resembling the roar of a Flood Dragon, erupted, even the Void Realm was shaken, as if several cracks had been torn into it.

Boom!

Jiang Chen launched his punch.

The momentum of this Ming Long Fist.

Instantly swept toward Zhao Zixuan.

"What!"

"Wait a moment, I'm not ready yet..."

Seeing this, Zhao Zixuan hurriedly exclaimed in alarm. Under this terrifying offensive from Jiang Chen, he felt an extremely intense sense of suffocation.

It was too late to think about surrendering now.

Bang!

Zhao Zixuan was worthy of being an expert at the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Under this punch from Jiang Chen, the blood mist that exploded was even larger than that of an ordinary person.
