Chapter 874

The Holy Lords of the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land narrowed their eyes on the spot, looks of shock appearing on their faces.

"Junior greets Divine King, my lord!"

A group of Holy Lords bowed to Jiang Shenwang.

"Rise."

Jiang Shenwang nodded lightly.

"Divine King Senior, you already shook the world more than four thousand years ago. We all grew up hearing of your mighty reputation. We never imagined that after so many years, Divine King Senior, you still look the same as ever. May we ask where you have been cultivating all these years? It's been so long since any of us heard any news of you, Divine King."

After the Holy Lords exchanged a glance, the Holy Lord of Wanchu Holy Land asked the question respectfully.

This question was not only what the Wanchu Holy Lord wanted to ask, but also what many Holy Lords wanted to ask.

Back then, Jiang Shenwang vanished without a trace. The Jiang Family made a great commotion, even nearly activating an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and sparking a war between Holy Lands. Yet now the Divine King has suddenly appeared—so where had he gone all this time?

Of course, the various Holy Lords absolutely did not dare to put it so bluntly, lest they anger the Divine King and get slapped to death with a single palm.

"Back then I went out traveling and was trapped in a dangerous place for several thousand years. Later I was fortunate enough to be rescued by Daoist Friend Fang Yu, and only then did I escape."

The White-Robed Divine King listened to the Wanchu Holy Lord's words, did not refuse, and spoke directly, at the same time revealing his relationship with Fang Yu.

Sure enough, all the Holy Lords were greatly shocked.

"Fang Yu actually saved your life, Divine King?"

"What exactly happened? Where did you go, Divine King Senior? To be trapped there for several thousand years, and yet be rescued by Fang Yu?"

"Strange, truly strange—completely impossible to understand."

All the Holy Lords found it inconceivable. They wanted to ask more, but Fang Yu spoke: "The matter is indeed as such. Back then Daoist Friend Taixu was trapped in a place, and I happened to have some means, so I rescued Daoist Friend Taixu. As for which deadly ground it was, there's no need for you to know. Among the deadly grounds between heaven and earth, there are many that even Holy Lords would die in."

As Fang Yu said this, he felt it was somewhat miraculous as well.

Because looking at the map of the Northern Domain of the Eastern Wastelands, Zishan and the Jiang Family did not seem far apart. In other words, the Jiang Divine King, who had once been invincible across the world, had vanished right near his own doorstep…

"So that's how it was!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

After the Holy Lords of the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land exchanged a glance, their expressions turned extremely ugly.

Fang Yu had slain the young experts of their two great Holy Lands. This debt was originally meant to be settled, but Fang Yu had actually saved Jiang Shenwang's life and had an excellent relationship with Jiang Shenwang—so they had to be extremely cautious.

The Jiang Family also possessed an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. If they killed Fang Yu, Jiang Shenwang would certainly seek revenge.

"Congratulations to Divine King Senior on escaping your predicament!"

After the Holy Lords exchanged a glance, they offered congratulations once more.

"Mm."

Jiang Shenwang nodded lightly. He did not mind telling these Holy Lords the fact that he had been trapped for several thousand years. Since he had come out and recovered for a year, there was no one on this great earth who could take his life.

"Daoist Friend Fang Yu saved my life. From now on, the Yutaixuan Sect and my Jiang Family shall watch over and aid each other. To attack the Yutaixuan Sect is to attack my Jiang Family."

While the Holy Lords were still very curious, such words came from Jiang Shenwang's mouth, leaving the various Holy Lords so shocked they did not know what to say.

Several Holy Lords looked toward the Holy Lords of Yaoguang and the Ji Family.

Jiang Shenwang had actually spoken such words—clearly aimed at the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ancient Desolate Ji Family.

Everyone knew Fang Yu had once slain young experts of the Yaoguang Holy Land, and had also slain a supreme genius of the Ancient Desolate Ji Family. And another disciple of the Yutaixuan Sect, Ye Fan, had slain quite a few of the Ji Family's younger generation. The two families had many grievances between them.

Now that the Divine King had spoken such words, it meant he would thoroughly protect the Yutaixuan Sect out of gratitude for Fang Yu's kindness.

The various Holy Lands and great clans could no longer casually use Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons to wipe out the Yutaixuan Sect.

"Yes, we shall obey Divine King Senior's wishes."

The Holy Lords of the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.

As for the other Holy Lords, they all spoke up as well.

But inwardly they were relieved, because since Fang Yu had stepped onto the path of cultivation, apart from having enmity with the Ancient Desolate Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land, he bore no grudges against them. Befriending Fang Yu and establishing friendly relations with the Yutaixuan Sect was not a bad thing.

"With Daoist Friend's words, the Mendezhang Sect of my Yutaixuan Sect can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Fang Yu spoke, expressing his thanks to Jiang Shenwang.

His strength was indeed enough to slay the Holy Lords of the various Holy Lands, but in this world, Holy Lands all had deep foundations. Unless one had cultivated to the point of being able to withstand an Emperor Weapon head-on, it was best not to drag one's whole family into fights and killings.

With Fang Yu's strength, he could wipe out the younger generation and the older generation of every Holy Land clean. But at the Yutaixuan Sect, who knew when a Void Mirror might shine down, or a Dragon-Pattern Cauldron might come crashing down? At that time, the Mendezhang Sect of the Yutaixuan Sect would have nowhere to cry, and the entire Yutaixuan Sect would be erased.

Without deep foundations, no matter how powerful a Men Sect was, it would always be a notch below others.

And now that Jiang Shenwang had spoken, saying the Yutaixuan Sect and the Ancient Desolate Jiang Family would watch over and aid each other and form an alliance, it was equivalent to the Yutaixuan Sect also having deep foundations. If a Holy Land wanted to use an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to wipe out the Yutaixuan Sect, it would have to be wary of the Jiang Family stepping in and wiping them out instead.

This was a situation of mutual stability.

If the Mendezhang Sect of the Yutaixuan Sect heard this, he would surely be so excited he could not sleep, and would certainly be endlessly grateful to Fang Yu.

"Once matters in the Northern Domain are concluded, it's time to return to the Southern Domain for a trip. The fire of the Fire Domain has been waiting for me for a long time now."
