“Three big countries? Humph!”
Jian Wushuang’s cold stare stunned the experts from the three big countries as his cool voice reverberated in the air . “It seems like the three big countries have been particularly arrogant during the time that I was gone and Tang of the East is heavily injured after the war . ”
The face of the experts darkened .
Jian Wushuang continued, “Tell the rulers of the three big countries that I give them three days—three days for them to give me a reason! If not, be prepared to endure my wrath!”
He headed straight for the imperial palace, ignoring them .
The experts exchanged looks before immediately hurrying off to deliver his message to their rulers .
Many top-tier experts from Tang of the East had already gathered at the palace encapsulated in a giant formation . They stared at the young man with reverence as he walked slowly toward the formation .
These men were old, some of them many times Jian Wushuang’s age .
Even so, they greatly respected him .
After all, it was power that earned one respect in this world .

Jian Wushuang’s strength justified their reverence for him .
Jian Wushuang inched closer to the crowd amidst everyone’s stare . His eyes were completely fixated on one person .
HIs attention was on a devastatingly lovely woman that would put any beauty to shame .
It was Leng Rushuang .
Though her aura remained as cold as ever, she stared back at Jian Wushuang with a tinge of surprise and delight in her eyes .
When she woke up and discovered that he was dead, she became overwhelmed with grief . She wouldn’t have survived all these years had Emperor Xiao not tell her that he was still alive .
Now, he was in front of her again .
“I’m back,” he whispered .
“Hm . ” She gave a small nod in response .
Without the need for redundant words, the simple gesture of exchanging greetings drew intense passion from their eyes .

The most important things were left unspoken .
“Father and Uncle Yun are waiting for you after receiving word of your arrival . Come with me,” Leng Rushuang said .
“Alright . ” Jian Wushuang nodded and followed her to the ground level of the imperial palace .
Inside the palace, he saw his sworn brothers, Wang Yuan and Yang Zaixuan .
They were naturally delighted .
After a quick exchange of greetings, he entered a great hall .
A layer of Restriction separated the five people inside the hall from the world outside .
These people were Jian Wushuang, Leng Rushuang, Emperor Xiao, Emperor Yun, and a curvy lady in a aquamarine robe .
“Jian Wushuang, this is Dao Master Spirit . She’s responsible for building the formation . If not for her, those from the three big countries would’ve entered the imperial palace long ago,” Emperor Xiao explained .
“Nice to meet you, Dao Master Spirit . ” Jian Wushuang bowed to the curvy lady .

“You’re too courteous, young man . ” Dao Master Spirit stood up to exchange the greetings, humility and respect written all over her face . “Your talent is unparalleled in history . It looks like we’ll have an extraordinary existence in our world soon . ”
“You’re too polite . ” Jian Wushuang smiled, getting a good first impression of Dao Master Spirit .
In fact, she and Sunrise Sword Emperor were the creators of one of his killing moves, the Ninth-heaven Sword Formation .
When the show of courtesy was done and over with, Emperor Xiao addressed Jian Wushuang and said, “When Wang Yuan told me that you’re still alive, I didn’t really believe him . But I’m glad that you’re back at a time when Tang of the East is facing its biggest crisis ever . ”
“When I was recovering, I’ve already heard about it from Brother Wang Yuan . It’s indeed horrible,” Jiang Wushuang said solemnly . “Emperor Xiao…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Xiao interrupted him . “Don’t call me Emperor . If you’re willing to, you can call me Uncle Xiao . Either way, you’re more or less a couple with Shuang’er . We just need to conduct the wedding . ”
Jian Wushuang was stunned but soon let out a smile .
Beside him, Leng Rushuang blushed without saying anything .
“Let’s discuss business first . ” Emperor Xiao chuckled . “The experts from the three big countries now reside outside the palace . We’ve relied on Dao Master Spirit’s formation all these years to defend the palace . Unfortunately, though her formation is strong and durable, it can’t last much longer . ”
“Oh?” Jian Wushuang looked surprised .
“I used some special methods and treasures to craft the formation, allowing us to defend against the experts of the three big countries . However, these methods require a huge energy input,” Dao Master Spirit explained .
“I replaced the energy needed with a treasure called the Eternal Gem . However, I only have three gems and each can only maintain the formation for around 500 years . I’ve already finished two gems and the third one is being used up now . The formation can, at most, stand for another 400 years . ”
“Eternal Gem?” Jian Wushuang frowned .
“The Eternal Gem is a treasure that contains a huge amount of energy . It’s rare even in the Eternal Chaotic World . Dao Yuanzi, an expert from the Blood Killing Sect, has numerous treasures but only two of these gems . ” Gu King’s voice resounded in Jian Wushuang’s mind .
“Only two?” Jian Wushuang shook his head .
Two gems would only buy them 1,000 years of time . The impact was negligible .
Moreover, he refused to hide inside the imperial palace .
“When I entered the palace, I passed a message to the ruler of the three big countries, ordering them to give me a satisfying response . They’ll respond as long as they’re not stupid or hotspurs,” Jian Wushuang said .
The rest looked at each other and smiled .
Jian Wushuang was indeed a huge threat to the three big countries .
No one in the Green Fire World would dare look down on him .
Not even the unearthly and saint-like Master of the Void Temple dared to underestimate him .
