I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

I vaguely remember Chapter 404, but not much! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets!)

The black-clad expert finally regained some strength. He gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Chen and said, "Today, my skills are inferior to yours. If I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely seek your guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wanshi couldn't help but subconsciously raise his chin and glance at Jun Wuhui, who was still lying down.

See? We both got slapped, but I woke up earlier than you!

Feeling Mu Wanshi's smug gaze, Jun Wuhui snorted coldly and also struggled to get up from the ground. He cupped his hands to Li Chen and said, "I am Jun Wuhui. I hope you will not hesitate to teach me when we meet again in the future."

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, then snorted coldly as if in a fit of pique, and turned to leave.

With Li Chen present, it was clear that the two could no longer compete for supremacy.

Moreover, both of them were completely overwhelmed by Li Chen's attack and were only thinking about how to improve themselves to overcome this insurmountable obstacle. They had no intention of staying any longer.

As the two took a step, an overwhelming pressure swept over them, causing their hair and beards to dance wildly. A feeling of unspeakable oppression, like a fishbone stuck in their throat, rose in their hearts, and for a moment, their feet unconsciously hovered in mid-air.

Turning his head, he saw a figure in white robes that billowed without wind, his hair and beard dancing in the air. The spiritual energy that roamed the world transformed into starlight, enveloping him and making him appear hazy and mysterious, as if he were a celestial being descended from heaven.

Even though they were both Saints, there was still a hint of shock and disbelief in their eyes.

He was too strong, so strong that it seemed he didn't belong to this world!

Jun Wu Hui took a deep breath first, secretly gathering all his spiritual energy while staring intently at Li Chen and said, "Sir, is there anything else?"

Mu Wanshi did not speak, but she stared at Li Chen with the same vigilance.

Li Chen ignored the two and instead looked at Master Qingxu, who was waiting to the side, and said calmly, "Does my Tian Ce Dynasty have laws regulating duels between the strong?"

Master Qingxu was taken aback upon hearing this. As someone who had followed Li Chen, he quickly recovered and reported truthfully: "According to Article 32 of the Environmental Protection Law of our Tian Ce Dynasty, if a cultivator's duel causes irreversible damage to the environment, he shall bear imprisonment for three to ten years and compensate for the losses. The duel between these two Saint Realm experts has caused the people within a ten-mile radius to be displaced, rivers to change course, and mountains and rivers to be destroyed, resulting in countless economic losses, whether directly or indirectly. The circumstances are extremely serious."

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

Upon hearing this, Master Qingxu's mouth gaped open in a wide "O" shape. Seriously, wasn't this law supposed to target low-level cultivators? Was His Majesty going to imprison even Saint-level experts? Imprisoning Saint-level experts—this was probably the first time since the founding of the Tian Ce Dynasty! His Majesty was truly amazing!
Master Qingxu quickly regained his senses and gestured to Mu Wanshi and Jun Wuhui, saying, "You two, let's go!"

Jun Wu Hui and Mu Wan Shi were both completely dumbfounded.

Are you guys serious, buddy? We've been fighting with people since we were kids, and even reached the Saint Realm, we've heard of this kind of thing before!

Despite their thoughts, the two dared not utter a single complaint in the face of Li Chen, an insurmountable mountain, and could only take a deep breath and follow behind Master Qingxu.

What's the use of complaining? This is an emperor at the Saint Realm. They were both too exhausted to argue.

If I get beaten up, wouldn't that be even more humiliating? I should wait until I've regained my strength before making any plans.

Seeing that the battle was over, the crowd that had come from afar to watch looked at each other with strange expressions.

A pockmarked cultivator rubbed his ears, tugged at the arm of the fat cultivator beside him, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and asked, "Brother, what did His Majesty just say? My hearing isn't good, so I didn't hear clearly."

Many cultivators who shared the same doubt immediately pricked up their ears, waiting for the fat cultivator's answer. It wasn't that they hadn't heard clearly, but rather that they simply couldn't believe their ears.

For any empire, the rules and regulations of the law have always only restricted low-level cultivators and ordinary people. It is no exaggeration to say that the imprisonment of a Saint Realm expert is unprecedented.

This is enough to go down in history!
"You heard me right. His Majesty said to deal with it according to the law, which means to imprison those two Saint Realm experts, one in black and one in white, for ten years!"

As soon as the fat monk finished speaking, gasps of cold air rose from the crowd.

Many of the powerful figures who had seen Jun Wuhui or Mu Wanshi more than a decade ago twitched at the corners of their mouths.

For no other reason than they knew better than anyone else that the two were not only powerful Saints, but also came from hidden sects or families.

With this identity alone, he would be a guest of honor in any empire he went to!

"Even Saint-level experts are being imprisoned? No way! When I get back, I must restrain the younger generation of my clan and forbid them from gambling or fighting with others in private!"

"Is this a matter of gambling? When we get back, we must establish clan rules that require all the cultivators in the clan to memorize all the laws of the Tian Ce Dynasty. From now on, anyone who wants to cultivate must be able to recite the laws of the Tian Ce Dynasty!"

"Yes, after I return, I will have someone inscribe the laws of the Tian Ce Dynasty in every training room to constantly remind the disciples that the law must not be violated!"

After a brief silence, a murmur of discussion, deliberately kept to a minimum, erupted from the crowd.

The three Luo sisters disappeared into the crowd.

Both Luo Zixi and Luo Jiazi had their heads down, their beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

Jun Wu Hui is Luo Zi Xi's husband, and the black-clad strongman Mu Wan Shi is Luo Jia Zi's original wife.

Neither of them had ever met the father of the other's child. Even though the father disappeared after the child was born, they still had some feelings for each other because of the child.

Now that Li Chen has separated the child's father, who wanted to settle the score, it is naturally the result they all want to see. However, at this moment, they don't know whether they should feel proud of the formidable strength of Li Chen, whom they have served, or feel fortunate that the child's father was able to escape the life-or-death struggle.

Unlike the two women, Luo Qimeng proudly raised her head and smiled at them, saying, "See? Back then, you were all so hesitant and timid when I asked you to serve His Majesty. How should you thank me now?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiazi and Luo Zixi lowered their heads even further and stammered in unison, "That..."

Li Chen is indeed outstanding, even far surpassing their original husbands, a fact they cannot deny.

However, the two women were no longer thinking about this; instead, they were thinking about how to free their husbands from their misery.

No matter what, he is the father of their children. They can't very well tell their children that their father is in jail, can they?
Luo Qimeng stared at the white figure following behind Master Qingxu, finding it increasingly familiar. Her beautiful eyes widened as she turned to look at Luo Qimeng and asked, "Sister, could that person in white be Jun Wuhui?"

Previously, Luo Qimeng had only seen the younger version of Jun Wuhui. At that time, Jun Wuhui was still training and showing off here. He had appeared in various conferences and often went to secret realms. His popularity was not low.

Even after decades, Luo Qimeng still has some recollection of it, but not much.
