After the green-robed man destroyed the Divine Martial World’s attackers and fled, Jiang Changsheng watched the Heavenly Court settle a dispute between Tianjing and the Dragon Palace while training Mu Lingluo. Meanwhile, the Riot Martial Lord discovered the Kunlun World and hoped to claim its power so he could challenge the Dao Ancestor again.
