Chapter 453 – Old Emperor

Amidst the winds of change, a tremendous storm was brewing in the Eastern Continent. When the Imperial Emperor had passed down the Imperial Decree forcing everyone to wear mourning close, it immediately gave birth to a lot of discontent feeling amongst many great warriors, especially those at the Combat Soul realm. As Combat Soul warriors, they had their own pride and dignity, and they couldn’t accept the fact that they were forced to wear mourning clothes for no reason. If it was under normal circumstances, they would have no way to resist this order, since they were too weak in comparison to the Martial Saint Dynasty. But now, things had changed! There was another power who was strong enough to stand against it, so they were now presented with a choice.

Because of that, many Combat Soul warriors were now heading towards the Black Sect with the intentions of joining them in their fight against the Martial Saint Dynasty.

It could be said that the Imperial Emperor had unintentionally helped Jiang Chen. What he did, he did to show off the Martial Saint Dynasty’s authority. Ever since Jiang Chen had appeared, the dignity and authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty had suffered a huge challenge. Not only that, with the death of the emperors, the Martial Saint Dynasty’s face gone down the drain. What the Imperial Emperor wanted to do was bring back face and defend the authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty. He wanted to let everyone know that in the Eastern Continent, no one could challenge the Martial Saint Dynasty’s authority. Therefore, what he did was an act that showed the authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and that he was a man who no one could defy.

However, right at this very moment, Wu Jiu was breaking through to the Combat King realm, and Jiang Chen was spreading the news in order to attract more people to him. The difference between one Combat King warrior and two Combat King warriors was completely different. With two Combat King warriors, people would feel that Jiang Chen really did have the ability to fight against the Martial Saint Dynasty, and that was the reason why all those great warriors wanted to join him.

Outside of the Black Sect; Daoist Black, Guo Shan, Yu Zihan and a few others were walking back and forth. They were following Jiang Chen’s request; waiting there to welcome the heroes of the Eastern Continent.

“Will this really work? Why have we still not seen anyone?”

Yu Zihan said in a gloomy manner.

“Since brother Jiang has said this, I’m sure it’ll work. We’ll just have to wait here.”

Immediately after Guo Shan finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared in the distance. Each of these people were sending forth powerful auras. All of them were clearly Combat Soul warriors. With incredible speed, these three men arrived at the Black Sect in the blink of an eye.

“Is brother Jiang Chen here?”

The man who led the group was a muscular and handsome man, and he immediately asked if Jiang Chen was here upon arriving.

The crowd had a surprised look in their eyes. The three men in front of them were Combat Soul warriors, and the leading man had a cultivation base at the peak Mid Combat Soul realm, and seemed to be only one step away from the Late Combat Soul realm. From the way he addressed Jiang Chen, it seemed like they knew each other, and that he came to the Black Sect to give Jiang Chen a helping hand.

“Jiang Chen is waiting for your arrival at the main palace of the Black Sect. I’m the Black Sect’s Sect Chief, Daoist Black. May I know your name?”

Daoist Black said.

“Haha, so you’re Daoist Black! I’ve heard so much about you. I’m Master Blissful, this is Golden Lion, and this is Old Man Ling Shan. We’re all Jiang Chen’s friends.”

Master Blissful said.

Hearing the introductions, shock emerged onto the faces of Daoist Black and co. All these men were men with names widely known, especially Master Blissful. He was a Demon Lord from the ocean, and he had an unfathomable combat strength. Although he was only a peak Mid Combat Soul warrior, his actual combat strength allowed him to fight any Late Combat Soul warrior.

“So you’re Master Blissful! It’s a pleasure to have you here. Zihan, quickly bring them to Jiang Chen.”

Daoist Black said.

“Three seniors, please follow me.”

Yu Zihan made a welcoming gesture. It looked like Jiang Chen’s words were true.

Jiang Chen and Yan Chenyu were leisurely sitting within the Black Sect’s main palace when they suddenly heard the sound of laughter.

“Haha, brother Jiang Chen, it’s been a long time! You’re now a big shot!”

Following that, Master Blissful and the other two came into the main palace.

“Welcome, my friends. Sorry for not welcoming you out there!”

Jiang Chen strode forward and said. He had a very good impression of these three men. Back when he was at the Blissful Island, all of them had helped him a lot.

When these three men looked at Jiang Chen and felt his aura, they all felt their hearts tremble. They exchanged glances and found the same look of shock on each other’s face. When they met Jiang Chen, he had merely been a young man who had just broken through to the Divine Core realm, and it had only taken him such a short amount of time to grow to his current stage. It wasn’t difficult for them to predict that Jiang Chen’s future achievements would definitely be beyond their imagination.

“A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at differently. Brother Jiang Chen, you’ve truly given us a huge surprise! I’ve heard you’re going to have an all-out war with the Martial Saint Dynasty, that’s why we’re here to give you a helping hand. I hope we can help out.”

Old Man Ling Shan said.

“Good, Jiang Chen is really grateful to receive your help. Once we’ve overthrown the Martial Saint Dynasty, you can take whatever you want.”

Jiang Chen said. For the current Black Sect, every Combat Soul warrior was a treasure. Therefore, obtaining the help of these three men was something worth celebrating. At the same time, with the arrival of these three men, more people were destined to show up.
