Everyone present stared at the most brilliant genius in the history of the Green Fire World.

“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.

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 pa.s.sion 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, w.a.n.g Yuan and Yang Zaixuan.

They were naturally delighted.

“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 pa.s.sed 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.
