”Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor?” Within the Luo God City, the various top powers looked at the Flame Emperor as he mentioned the name. All of them looked at each other while the War Emperor had a dark expression. All eyes were filled with doubt.

Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor and the commander of the Martial Border, was a well-known name, as it was one of the few names that could be listed along with the Flame Emperor in this Great Thousand World. The history of how he founded the Martial Border was as exciting as the legend of the Flame Emperor, as he was also from the Lower Planes.

The most shocking thing was, the Martial Ancestor actually defeated the Extraterritorial Race's invasion by leading a group of top powers from the Lower Planes.

Although that Strange Demonic Race was not the strongest among the Extraterritorial Race, they could still thrash anyone from the Lower Planes with their strength. However, these fellows were defeated by the Martial Ancestor. How could this not be a shocking incident?

After he came to the Great Thousand World, the Martial Ancestor challenged the Ice Spirit Clan and founded the Martial Border. Eventually, he was regarded as one of the well-known Supreme Powers in the Great Thousand World. In terms of achievements, he would not lose out to the Flame Emperor.

However, even if the Martial Ancestor was considered to be a legend, he should be at a similar level with the Flame Emperor. As such, the top powers who were present did not understand why the Flame Emperor would say the situation would turn out differently if the Martial Ancestor were there today.

Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged glances and felt a little confused. The Flame Emperor's voice, accompanied by a burst of soft laughter, traveled to their ears. ”The Martial Ancestor once lived in the Ice Spirit Clan. He wanted to revive his wife with the help of the Ice Spirit Tablet, but the Ice Spirit Clan did not agree to it. They even got three Heavenly Sovereigns to guard the tablet. One of them was the West Heaven War Emperor here today.

”This West Heaven War Emperor was fond of beauties. When he saw the Martial Ancestor's wife's soul in the Ice Spirit Table, he was amazed by her beauty. Subsequently, he requested her from the Ice Spirit Clan as one of his concubines.

”This fellow was too arrogant, and he looked down on the Martial Ancestor, who came from the Lower Planes. He even told him personally, so that the Martial Ancestor would back off.”

Mu Chen's eyelid twitched a little when he heard this. He had seen the Martial Ancestor before, and he knew how great this man was. How could the Martial Ancestor let the West Heaven War Emperor off after he had made such an impudent remark?

Indeed. The Flame Emperor's voice continued, ”Hehe… Of course, the Martial Ancestor raged. He fought through all the arrays in the Ice Spirit Clan alone and hurt the Ice Spirit Ancestor badly. He even fought against the three Heavenly Sovereigns, including the West Heaven War Emperor, by himself. After fighting for three days and three nights, he beat two of the Heavenly Sovereigns, causing them to flee in embarrassment. As for the West Heaven War Emperor, he was chased after by the raging Martial Ancestor for a month…

”After this incident, the West Heaven War Emperor avoided places where the Martial Ancestor would appear at all costs, even the Western Kingdom War Temple that he founded that was far from the Martial Border. Hehe, if you had invited the Martial Ancestor over today, the West Heaven War Emperor would not have any peaceful days.”

Mu Chen's mouth was wide open. He finally understood what the Flame Emperor meant by having a beef with this person… Mu Chen also realized why the West Heaven War Emperor's face darkened when he heard about the Martial Ancestor. He, too, agreed with the Flame Emperor's last sentence.

After all, the Flame Emperor and the West Heaven War Emperor did not have any grudges. So long as the latter did not cross the line, he would not really attack him. At most, he would use some means to scare him off.

However, if Mu Chen were to have invited the Martial Ancestor, the result would have been different. Given his impartial character and their past grudges, he would have rolled up his sleeves for a fight immediately without saying anything. By then, the West Heaven War Emperor would not be facing the gentle means from the Flame Emperor. Even if he succumbed to defeat, the Martial Ancestor might not allow him to surrender.

A huge fight would inevitably break out, and it would most likely have ended with the West Heaven War Emperor having a bruised face. After all, the Martial Ancestor chased after the War Emperor for a month back then. It would be worse with his unpredictable strength now.

Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged glances as they felt a little lucky. If things had developed in that way, the Luo God Clan might have been involved, unless the Martial Ancestor could slaughter the War Emperor.

While the Flame Emperor was explaining the grudge between the War Emperor and the Martial Emperor to Mu Chen and all, the darkened expression of the War Emperor finally recovered a little. He said coldly, ”I'm not afraid of him, even if this lad invites the Martial Ancestor!”

Although the War Emperor sounded tough, everyone could tell that he was a little afraid. The aggressiveness in his words had toned down quite a bit.

No matter what, the Flame Emperor would have spared him some face since they bore no grudges. On the other hand, if the Martial Ancestor were there, he would have immediately begun to fight without saying a word. Things could have gone so wrong that the Martial Border might just have declared war with Western Kingdom War Temple. That would have been a big deal.
