Chapter 404: Still have some impression, but not much! (Please subscribe, please...)

The black-clad powerhouse finally recovered a trace of strength. He gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, bowed to Li Chen and said: "Today, I, Mu Wanshi, am not as skilled as you. If I achieve success in cultivation in the future, I will definitely ask for advice from Your Excellency."

As the words fell, Mu Wanshi couldn't help but subconsciously raise his chin and glance at Jun Wuhue, who was still lying down.

See that? We both took a slap, but I got up earlier than you!

Feeling Mu Wanshi's show-off gaze, Jun Wuhue snorted coldly, then also climbed up from the ground with difficulty, bowed to Li Chen and said: "I am Jun Wuhue. If we meet again in the future, please do not hesitate to give me advice."

As the words fell, the two looked at each other, then snorted coldly like they were sulking, and turned their heads to leave.

With Li Chen here, it was obviously impossible for the two to continue to distinguish who was superior.

Moreover, both had been beaten by Li Chen's move without any power to parry. At this moment, they only thought about how to improve themselves to defeat this insurmountable mountain; they had no intention of staying here any longer.

The two stepped out, and a fierce pressure swept over, blowing their hair and beards into a mess, and an indescribable repression rose in their hearts. For a time, the feet they stepped out were subconsciously suspended in mid-air.

Turning their heads to look, a white robe surged without wind, and the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth turned into little stars and wrapped around him, making him look hazy and mysterious, as if an immortal venerable who didn't belong to this world had descended.

Even though they were both in the Sage Realm, there was still a trace of horror and incredulity in their eyes.

He was too strong, strong to the point of not belonging to this world!

Jun Wuhue took a deep breath first, secretly gathering all his spiritual energy while staring tightly at Li Chen: "Your Excellency, I wonder what else is the matter?"

Mu Wanshi didn't speak, but he was also staring at Li Chen with full vigilance.

Li Chen didn't care about the two, but looked at True Person Qingxu who was waiting on the side, and said faintly: "Does my May Tian Ce Dynasty have laws regulating duels between powerhouses?"

True Person Qingxu was stunned upon hearing this. As someone who had followed Li Chen, he quickly reacted and reported truthfully: "According to Article 32 of our May Tian Ce Dynasty's Environmental Protection Law, if a cultivator's duel causes irreversible damage to the environment, they need to bear three to ten years of imprisonment and compensate for the losses. The duel between these two Sage Realm powerhouses caused commoners within ten miles to be displaced, rivers to change course, and mountains and rivers to be broken, causing countless direct or indirect economic losses. It can be said that the circumstances are extremely bad."

"Handle it according to the law." Li Chen nodded slightly.

True Person Qingxu's mouth opened into a big "O" shape upon hearing this. Not brother, isn't this law aimed at those low-level cultivators? The Emperor wants to lock up even Sage Realm powerhouses? Locking up Sage Realm powerhouses is probably the first time since the founding of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, right? The Emperor is truly awesome!

True Person Qingxu quickly came back to his senses, made a gesture of invitation to Mu Wanshi and Jun Wuhue, and said: "The two of you, let's go!"

Jun Wuhue and Mu Wanshi were both confused.

Not brother, are you guys for real? We two have been fighting people since we were young until we reached the Sage Realm, and we've never heard of this!

Thinking was thinking, but facing Li Chen, this insurmountable mountain, the two naturally dared not have the slightest complaint, so they could only take a deep breath and follow behind True Person Qingxu.

What was the use of complaints? This was a Sage Realm Emperor, and they had consumed too much energy; they really didn't have the strength to argue.

If they were beaten up, it would be even more embarrassing. It was better to wait until they recovered their strength before making plans.

Seeing the battle end, the crowd who had long since come to watch from afar had strange expressions and looked at each other.

A pockmarked cultivator rubbed his ears, pulled the arm of the fat cultivator beside him, bowed, and asked: "Brother, what did the Emperor just say? My ears are bad and I didn't hear clearly."

Many cultivators who were equally confused pricked up their ears upon hearing this, waiting for the fat cultivator's answer.

They hadn't not heard clearly; it was just that none of them dared to believe their own ears.

No matter which empire it was for, the rules and regulations of the law were always only limiting low-level cultivators and ordinary people. To say that locking up Sage Realm powerhouses was the first time in history would not be an exaggeration at all.

This was enough to be recorded in history!

"You didn't hear wrong. The Emperor said to handle it according to the law, meaning he wants to lock up those two black and white Sage Realm powerhouses for ten years!"

As the fat cultivator's words fell, a series of gasps came from the crowd.

Among them, naturally, many powerhouses who had seen Jun Wuhue or Mu Wanshi more than a dozen years ago twitched their mouths.

Not for anything else, they knew better than anyone that the two were not only Sage Realm masters but also came from hidden sects or hidden families.

Just this status alone, no matter which empire they went to, they would become honored guests of the royal family!

"Sa-Sage Realm powerhouses are going to be locked up? No, when I go back, I must restrain the juniors in the clan; they cannot duel with others in private!"

"Is this a matter of dueling? When I go back, I must establish clan rules, let the cultivators in the clan memorize all the laws of the May Tian Ce Dynasty. From now on, if you want to cultivate, you must be able to memorize the laws of the May Tian Ce Dynasty!"

"Yes, when I go back, I will have the laws of the May Tian Ce Dynasty engraved in every cultivation room, constantly reminding sect disciples that the law cannot be tarnished!"

After a brief silence, a noisy discussion broke out in the crowd, deliberately lowered in volume.

The three Luo sisters were hidden in the crowd.

Luo Zixi and Luo Jiazi both lowered their heads, their beautiful eyes filled with complex expressions.

Not for anything else, Jun Wuhue was Luo Zixi's husband, and the black-clad powerhouse Mu Wanshi was Luo Jiazi's original husband.

Neither of them had seen the father of the other's child. Even though the child's father had disappeared after the child was born, they still held a trace of affection for the other party because of the child.

Seeing Li Chen separate the fathers of their children who wanted to decide the winner, it was naturally a result they were both willing to see. It was just that at this moment, they didn't know whether to feel proud of the powerful strength of Li Chen, whom they had served, or to feel lucky that the fathers of their children could escape the life-and-death battle.

Luo Qimeng was different from the two. At this moment, she raised her head proudly, smiled at the two, and said: "See that? I asked you to serve the Emperor back then, and you were all coy. Now, how should you thank me?"

Luo Jiazi and Luo Zixi couldn't help but bury their heads lower upon hearing this, and said stammeringly in unison: "That..."

Li Chen was indeed outstanding, even far exceeding their original husbands. This point they could not deny.

It was just that the two sisters' minds were no longer on this, but on how to let their original husbands escape the sea of suffering.

No matter what, that was the father of their children. They couldn't tell their children later, "Your father is locked up in prison," right?

Luo Qimeng stared at the white figure following behind True Person Qingxu, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. Her beautiful eyes widened and she turned to look at Luo Qimeng: "Sister, is that white-clad one Jun Wuhue?"

Before, Luo Qimeng had only seen the young version of Jun Wuhue. At that time, Jun Wuhue was still training and showing off here, appearing in various assemblies, and often going to mystical realms. His popularity was not low.

Even if a few decades had passed, Luo Qimeng still had some impression, but not much.
