Chapter 1291 - There Aren’t Any Heavenly Monarchs on Land
Yiya had heard this name and knew who he was. That was why her expression had changed, and she realized that Jiang Chen had agreed too rashly.
“Hou Jue isn’t classified on the Sacred Lord List because he isn’t a Sacred Lord, but a Doctrine Protector.” Yiya silently transmitted her voice to Jiang Chen and continued, “He once entered the fourth area and came out of it unscathed. What is most important is he mastered one of the Goddess of Empyrean’s 36 magical techniques, the Great Destruction Palm.”
Moreover, Hou Jue’s Martial Dais was at heaven grade, and if he was given enough time to build up power, the might released by the Great Destruction Palm would be unimaginable.
They realized how outrageous this gamble was only because they knew such information. Hou Jue had asked Jiang Chen to block his palm strike, which meant Jiang Chen must stand in place and wait for Hou Jue to attack with his palm strike.
When Hou Jue witnessed Yiya’s response, he managed to guess that Jiang Chen also knew some information about him.
“You don’t dare to take my challenge any longer, do you?” Hou Jue’s smile became slightly disdainful.
“I haven’t said anything yet. So how did you discern that I don’t dare to take it any longer?” Jiang Chen spoke mockingly.
Yiya and the others were stumped by such a question. They suspected that a trap was hidden behind this, but they still coveted the remains of one of the four great sages. This was a demonstration of man’s contradictory nature.
“The Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch governed a divine sect and had an illustrious and great status. But regardless, if it’s his divine sect’s land or his private abode, they aren’t in the Bloody Sea Realm.”
While they were deadlocked, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke, which caused the others to look at him with a surprised gaze.
“Jiang Chen, is what you have stated true?” Yiya asked.
“It’s obviously true. He got the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch’s title because he was accustomed to traveling around and wouldn’t leave anything on any great continents,” Jiang Chen said, and he surprised the others with his confident tone.
“You are speaking as if you were close to the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch, and you knew him well?” Hou Jue spoke with displeasure.
