Chen Changqing looked at Xuanyuan Hong, Rujie, and Heavenly Monarch Hua Xing standing before him, and a faint warmth rippled through his heart.
He withdrew the teasing look from his face and stepped forward with a solemn expression.
Chen Changqing first cupped his fists toward Xuanyuan Hong in salute.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law, for speaking up for me."
Xuanyuan Hong burst into hearty laughter and waved a hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Chen Changqing then turned to Rujie and Heavenly Monarch Hua Xing, bowing deeply and solemnly.
"Master Rujie, Senior Hua, I, Changqing, will remember your aid this time for the rest of my life."
Rujie nodded with a smile.
Heavenly Monarch Hua Xing stroked his beard in approval, clearly extremely satisfied with this grandson-in-law's composed bearing.
Once the formalities were over, Chen Changqing slowly straightened his body.
He reached behind him and gripped the hilt of the Immortal Execution Sword. The dark-gold blade slid from its sheath inch by inch.
Rumble!
Overwhelming Desolate Baleful Intent erupted violently from Chen Changqing's body, while the origin true essence of his nine Purple Mansions boiled completely.
Rather than retreat behind the defensive formations of the Divine Dynasty or Medicine God Valley, he strode forward alone for thirty zhang.
Passing everyone else, Chen Changqing stood directly in the middle of the two opposing camps.
His azure robes snapped wildly in the gale.
Chen Changqing raised the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand, its tip aimed straight at Ji Changkong and the old monsters of the True Martial Immortal Sect.
His voice was not loud, yet it rang clearly across the entire Heavenly Void Sea.
"I will remember that you all stepped forward to help me today."
"But Mount Shu has never needed others to ward off calamity on its behalf."
Killing intent soared
