Chapter 396

"Hmph, you don't look very smart either."

A hint of coldness also appeared in Jun Wuhui's eyes. As powerful as he was, why would he need to explain himself to others? There was no place for the weak before the strong. Even though the person opposite him was also in the Sage Realm, his invincible heart still did not believe the other party could stand toe-to-toe with him!

As the cold snort fell, Jun Wuhui waved his hand, and Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his feet become like wheels, and he was pushed out of the cave like an arrow released from a bowstring.

The person opposite did not seem to intend to let Jun Wuhui go, and Jun Wuhui knew this battle was unavoidable.

Never mind that I didn't take it; even if I did, so what? Treasures of heaven and earth belong to those who can obtain them!

With no more scruples, Jun Wuhui's white robes billowed without wind, and his terrifying aura climbed step by step, crushing the surrounding gravel into dust.

The black-robed man did not bother with Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian. In the eyes of a powerhouse of his Sage Realm, Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant. He had only one target, and that was Jun Wuhui!

Facing Jun Wuhui's rising aura, the black-robed man was not afraid at all; instead, he slowly took out a black folding fan from his bosom.

"Whoosh!"

The black-robed man shook the folding fan lightly, and the black fan suddenly unfolded with momentum, revealing a lifelike painting of cranes singing, with tiny inscriptions flickering on it.

The black-robed man's aura also became restrained, no longer as violent and overbearing as before, but instead resembling a great Confucian scholar of antiquity standing in the world.

"The Fengxian Clan?"

Jun Wuhui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Fengxian Clan was a hidden family that was once as famous as the Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect. In every generation, only one person would walk the world, and like him, they were searching for that ethereal immortal path.

It was just that for some reason, the Fengxian Clan had suddenly disappeared without a trace decades ago. He had thought this so-called hidden family had long since vanished in the long river of history, but he had not expected them to still exist.

"I didn't expect that after ten years of seclusion, my name would still be known in the world. Return the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and I will leave you a whole corpse!"

The black-robed man's face was indifferent.

Fifteen years ago, while searching for the immortal path, he went to the Luo family and obtained a trace of the ethereal immortal path opportunity from their ancestral jade, but his soul was also injured in the process.

Thinking he would die, he asked the old master of the Luo family to grant him a marriage, gave birth to a daughter to continue the Fengxian Clan's bloodline, and then found a mystical realm nearby to go into death-seclusion.

He had thought he would die, but who would have expected that he would gain something in the mystical realm? Over the years, he had not only repaired his soul injury but also comprehended that trace of the immortal path opportunity, and the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was the key to unlocking it all!

"Haha, I'd like to see if your Fengxian Clan is as invincible as the rumors say!"

Jun Wuhui laughed loudly, and before his voice had faded, he had already disappeared. When he appeared again, he had clenched his fist and blasted it toward the black-robed man's face.

Qiuyue Villa.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

After receiving the news from Yu Jing, Qiu Zuo immediately put aside his work and led a group of Qiuyue Villa clansmen to wait outside the villa.

At this moment, the men, women, old, and young of Qiuyue Villa were prostrate on the ground, welcoming the arrival of this emperor.

Li Chen did not speak, but waved his hand casually at Qiu Zuo, who then dared to crawl up from the ground, trembling.

Li Chen sat down in the seat of honor. Qiu Zuo snatched the teapot from the servant who had brought the tea and held it with both hands to pour half a cup of clear tea for Li Chen.

Li Chen picked it up and took a sip. The tea was slightly bitter at first, but the aftertaste was long and sweet, not at all inferior to the tribute tea in the imperial palace. He couldn't help but nod slightly and say, "Master Qiu has a heart."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zuo was so excited that he couldn't control himself. His knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, forgetting how to speak for a moment.

This tea was something he had mobilized all the Qiu family members abroad to exchange for, at the cost of half the family's wealth, the moment he received the news. Now that this Majesty liked it, how could he not be happy?

One had to know that just by spreading this sentence from Li Chen, the nearby forces, no matter how powerful, would have to give his Qiu family some face. Not for anything else, but because he, Qiu Zuo, was a person who had been praised by the current Emperor!

No matter what force it was, as long as they were in the May Tian Ce Empire, who would dare not give the imperial court some face?

Seeing this, Yu Jing couldn't help but frown secretly. It was one thing for Qiu Zuo to be timid and submissive usually, but how could he be so rude today when meeting the current Emperor? It was only because Li Chen was easygoing; if it were someone else, he would definitely be punished for the crime of offense.

Yu Jing hurriedly bowed to Li Chen and respectfully smoothed things over: "Your Majesty, Master Qiu is not good with words, and this is his first time seeing such majestic dragon might. Please do not blame him, Your Majesty."

Li Chen nodded slightly and waved his hand casually: "It's fine, just be relaxed."

Although Li Chen said so, Qiu Zuo only then dared to bow tremblingly and stammered: "Th-this humble subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Li Chen waved his hand casually, signaling Qiu Zuo to step aside.

Yu Jing kicked Qiu Zuo secretly, feeling that he was not living up to expectations, and then said with a face full of smiles: "Your Majesty, this humble woman is afraid the servants might be clumsy. How about I serve you myself, Your Highness?"

There was no other way; after all, being able to come into contact with a noble emperor was an honor for ordinary people.

Li Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this. He had become interested in Yu Jing, who had been secretly staring at him the whole way, and wanted to see what this Lady Qiu really wanted to do.

Qiu Zuo received the signal and was extremely grateful for Yu Jing's "quick-witted" intervention. He hurriedly stood up and retreated to the door, standing with his head bowed.

Only then did Yu Jing dare to walk slowly behind Li Chen and stretch out her slender fingers to knead Li Chen's shoulders.

What she was thinking now was to determine whether Li Chen was fond of women. If Li Chen was, then she would introduce her daughter to him.

Li Chen was so handsome, his strength was extremely strong, and his status was even more noble.

As a woman, she knew that this was an existence they could not refuse.

Yu Jing pondered for a long time, and with no clue, a bold idea popped into her mind!

Because this was the main hall and there were many people, it was not easy to probe.

So she hinted to Li Chen, asking if he would like to go to the inner room, where the environment was better and could make His Majesty more "pleased."

There was indeed nothing wrong with this sentence, but after Li Chen heard it, he felt there was a problem.

One had to know that in the cave, this woman had been "smiling foolishly" at him. He had saved her; could she have other ideas?

If it were just a polite remark, perhaps Li Chen wouldn't have thought crookedly; after all, she was a married woman.

Wasn't it said that women from cultivation families were very conservative?

Perhaps because her chest was quite full and she wanted to whisper "sweet nothings" to Li Chen, Yu Jing leaned in quite close. Li Chen felt the waves of softness coming from his back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift with a trace of a smile. It seemed that this Lady Qiu was truly young at heart despite her age; she actually dared to seduce him right in front of her husband.

Yu Jing was currently wearing a black tube-top dress, draped in a light black thin gauze. Her deep cleavage was faintly visible, quite mysterious. Added to that were her slender arms, a waist as slender as a young girl's that did not lose to Luo Xi's, and the unique charm and maturity of a married woman—she was indeed worth testing the depth of.
