I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Boom! ...

A giant golden hand, formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and covering an area of ​​a thousand feet in diameter, crashed down with a terrifying power that could crush everything!

However, just as the giant hand was about to land...

"A trivial skill!"

A chilling laugh, filled with endless violence and malevolence, suddenly exploded out, as if from the deepest abyss!

The figure of the Flame Demon Old Monster transformed into a streak of blood-red light and soared fiercely into the sky!

With a jolt of his arms, a burst of crimson light emanated from his body. A hundred-foot-long demonic palm, formed from bloodthirsty energy, surged upwards with the force to scorch mountains and boil seas, colliding violently with the golden giant palm!

boom--!!!!!!

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, air surged and space distorted!

The golden giant palm and the blood-red demonic palm were locked in a stalemate in mid-air for less than a breath. Then, the golden giant palm made a "crack" sound and shattered inch by inch, turning into countless fragments of spiritual energy!

"puff!"

Wu Tianru was struck head-on by the ancient divine mountain, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and smashing a bottomless crater into the hard bluestone slab!

He struggled to climb out of the pit, looking disheveled and his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and fear.

"Who...who are you?!" He stared intently at the Flame Demon Old Monster, his voice hoarse and trembling.

The Flame Demon chuckled, his scarlet eyes sweeping over Wu Tian as if he were a dead man: "Hehehe... I am the Flame Demon."

"The Flame Demon!" Wu Tian was stunned at first, then realized something, his pupils contracted sharply, his face drained of color instantly, and he exclaimed in shock, "You...you're the Flame Demon monster? You're still alive?!"

A tremendous storm raged within him.

The name "Flame Demon Old Monster" was once a name that inspired fear even in the Central Plains.

He never expected that this legendary old devil, who was said to have died long ago, was still alive!

"Master, should we keep this piece of trash?" The Flame Demon turned around, bowed respectfully to Chu Feng, and asked in a chilling tone.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the scene before them, their minds blank.

That infamous old monster, the Flame Demon, at the eighth level of the Creation Realm, actually... actually addressed a mere brat as "master"?!

What's wrong with this world?

Even Wu Tian was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Chu Feng slowly stepped forward, stood in front of Wu Tian, ​​looked down at him, and said indifferently, "City Lord Wu, I can give you a chance. If you are willing to lead Tianyu City to submit to my Great Xia Dynasty, I can spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was first taken aback, then laughed in fury, his face full of mockery: "Do you know who I am? One of the four commanders appointed by the Ji Dynasty, the city lord of Tianyu City! You, a mere brat, dare to ask me to submit? You're delusional!"

"Isn't he just the commander of the Ji Dynasty?" Chu Feng said casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Before long, there will only be one dynasty in the Nine Provinces Continent, and that will be the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Hahahaha!" Wu Tian laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "The Great Xia Dynasty? A tiny place that controlled so-called three states by sheer luck dares to compare itself to the Ji Dynasty? It's utterly laughable!"

"Stubborn to the end, then kill him." Chu Feng said indifferently, refusing to waste any more words.

The Flame Demon sneered, its body radiating intense crimson light, and it was about to attack again.

"Wait!"

At this critical moment, a clear, cold voice, like heavenly music, came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in pure white, like a fairy descending to earth, gracefully landed before the crowd.

She was slender and graceful, with flowing black hair. Her face was covered by a thin white veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as clear and cold as autumn water and stars, as if she did not belong to this mortal world.

"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wu Tian's face instantly filled with ecstasy and awe. He quickly broke free from the oppressive aura of the Flame Demon Old Monster, knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Princess?!"

"Could this be... the mysterious princess of the Ji Dynasty?!"

"Heavens! It's said that this princess is exceptionally talented and possesses unfathomable strength. She rarely shows herself and usually remains in seclusion. Yet, she has appeared today!"

Ji Ruxue!

Chu Feng looked at that familiar figure, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Ji Ruxue ignored Wu Tian and moved gracefully to Chu Feng. Her clear, cold eyes fell on Chu Feng, and she looked him up and down. Her voice was clear and cold, yet also carried a hint of complexity.

"I didn't expect you to have become so strong in such a short time."

"Thank you for the compliment." Chu Feng shrugged.

Ji Ruxue turned her gaze to Wu Tian, ​​hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Could you spare his life?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's lips curled into a playful smile: "For your sake, sparing his life is not out of the question."

Hearing this, Wu Tian was filled with doubt. He looked at Ji Ruxue and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why...why are you being so polite to this boy?"

Ji Ruxue's cold eyes merely glanced at him, and Wu Tian instantly fell silent.

"Lord Wu, arrange a banquet." Ji Ruxue's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "I want to host a banquet for Chu Feng and his party."

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, looked at Ji Ruxue, and smiled knowingly: "Is this a trap?"

Ji Ruxue met Chu Feng's gaze with her cool eyes and said calmly, "I have something to talk to you about."

"Alright, we're just short of a place to stay!"

"Let's go."

Then, under Wu Tian's extremely complex gaze, Chu Feng and his group followed Ji Ruxue and walked straight into the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyu City.

Along the way, Mu Wanqing looked at Chu Feng and said with a hint of jealousy, "You're really something, aren't you? You even managed to hook up with the princess of the Central Plains Dynasty."

Luo Qingyao snorted, pouting, and muttered under her breath, "I knew I was right, this guy is a womanizer!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng smiled knowingly, leaned close to Luo Qingyao's ear, and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Luo Qingyao blushed, glared at him sharply, gave a soft snort, and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Soon, Ji Ruxue led Chu Feng to an elegant room alone.

"Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chu Feng sat down directly and looked at Ji Ruxue, saying bluntly, "If you're talking about the Nine Provinces Seal, then forget about it."

A flicker of emotion crossed Ji Ruxue's cold eyes as she slowly spoke, "The Nine Provinces Seal is the most precious heirloom of my Ji Dynasty."

"My ancestors founded the Ji Dynasty with the Nine Provinces Seal and controlled the entire Nine Provinces Continent. Later, due to a great war, the Nine Provinces Seal shattered and was divided into five parts scattered throughout the Nine Provinces."

"Now, my Ji Dynasty has recovered three of them. Apart from the one you have, only one remains missing. As long as we can gather all the Nine Provinces Seals, my Ji Dynasty can regain its former glory and unify the Nine Provinces."

She looked at Chu Feng, her voice carrying a hint of sincerity: "My father said that, considering your talent, as long as you are willing to take out the Nine Provinces Seal, whatever you need, my Ji Dynasty can give you."

"If you join the Ji Dynasty, we can do our best to nurture you and help you reach the pinnacle of martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's lips curled into a playful smile. He suddenly leaned closer to Ji Ruxue and whispered, "What if I want you?"
