“Senior, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Ning Yan suddenly raised her hand and pointed behind Yu Chen. “Senior, be careful!”

As she was speaking, she used his Battle Spirit Technique and rushed over.

The man in black who was a second realm cultivator was already dead. These men in black had no intention of fighting anymore.

Under Ning Yan’s attack (and Yu Chen’s deterrence), they did not dare to fight back at all and were forced to retreat.

However, Yu Chen did not want to let the men in black off so easily. He moved quickly and appeared in front of one of them.

Seeing Yu Chen, the man in black stopped on the spot, not daring to take another step forward.

Behind them, Ning Yan was panting and sweating profusely. She shouted indignantly, “Don’t… don’t run!”

Suddenly, she saw that the men in black really did not run away. They even turned around and returned.

This frightened her. Although she was at the tenth-level of the first realm, she was about to break through to the second realm.

But in reality, she would be instantly killed if she were to face against so many first realm cultivators.

She could unleash such a powerful attack just now because she had been accumulating strength for a long time.

Ning Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She trembled and said, “I… I was just joking. You should run!”

“Don’t come any closer!”

“Senior, save me!”

Seeing that the men in black were still running, Yu Chen immediately shouted coldly, “If you stop running, I’ll spare your lives!”

The difference between the first realm and the second realm was like heaven and earth.

Not to mention, Yu Chen was someone who could instantly kill a second realm cultivator.

The men in black listened to Yu Chen’s words and did not dare to disobey.

Seeing that the men in black did not approach her any longer, Ning Yan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. “Phew… You scared me to death…”

After running to Yu Chen’s side, Ning Yan seemed to have taken a calming pill, and her expression gradually returned to normal.

Yu Chen asked the man in black who was standing straight. “Who told you to ambush me here? Do you know me?”

The men in black looked at each other, but no one dared answer the question.

Yu Chen’s face darkened, scaring the men in black.

They all spoke at once. “Of course we don’t recognize you, senior.”

“But we can’t reveal information about our employers. That’s the basic ethics of assassins.”

“That’s right, that’s right… Senior, you’re a magnanimous person. Can you let us off?”

Yu Chen sneered. “If you give me a name, you can still live. If you don’t… you’ll die now!”

As he spoke, Yu Chen released wisps of spiritual power. Two starlights representing two top-grade talents flickered above his head, mysterious and overpowering.

The men in black who finally understood the situation were so frightened that their legs went weak.

Two top-grade talents?

What kind of monster was he?

Could it be that this guy had saved the world in his previous life and that’s why he had such good luck in this life?

Ning Yan was also so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened. She stared at the Talent Tree starlights above Yu Chen’s head in horror. Her mind almost couldn’t comprehend the fact.

This was too shocking.

Gulp ~

The men in black swallowed and asked carefully, “Senior, are you really not going to kill us if we tell you?”

Yu Chen’s expression softened a little and he said, “Of course. I’m not Wang Yun.”

After hearing Yu Chen’s words, the men in black asked in horror, “Senior, how did you know that Wang Yun asked me to wait here for you?”

“Senior, you have an incredibly good foresight. You can even predict this?”

Yu Chen’s face darkened and he shouted coldly, “Nonsense! No one knows that I’m here. Did Wang Yun ask you to wait for me here?”

What a ridiculous joke!

These men in black were actually Wang Yun’s men?

How did he know that Yu Chen had appeared here? How did he know that Yu Chen had left the Heavenly Prison in the form of an avatar?

The men in black knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize. “Senior, what we said is true.”

“Senior, you have to believe us. We’re definitely not lying.”

“If we’re lying, we’ll die a horrible death!”

“No… Didn’t the employer reveal that the person we’re waiting for is a woman?”

“Huh? I think he… said that before.”

“Boss stopped Senior here without saying anything just now. It has nothing to do with us.”

“Exactly. This is all a misunderstanding. We’re waiting for a woman, not for you.”

Yu Chen thought that made sense.

If Wang Yun knew that Yu Chen had appeared here, he would definitely have known Yu Chen’s strength.

Since he knew Yu Chen’s strength, he would not send so many weaklings to give him experience.

So… what was this all about?

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Ning Yan raised her trembling hand. “Do you think it’s possible that the person you’re waiting for is me?”

The men in black said nothing.

Yu Chen was speechless.

The scene was extremely awkward.

After a long while, the men in black got Yu Chen’s permission to leave. They all did so while trembling.

After the men in black left, Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan.

Yu Chen had long noticed that this person did not expose her Talent Tree during the battle.

Her ability interested Yu Chen.

It had to be known that Yu Chen was not very strong at this stage. If he encountered a powerful existence who was jealous of Yu Chen, it would be bad.

Therefore, Yu Chen asked Ning Yan, “I saw that your Talent Tree wasn’t exposed just now. How did you do that?”

Ning Yan didn’t seem to be in a good mood. She pouted and lifted her clothes, revealing her fair skin.

Then, she took off a necklace from her neck.

There was a red jewel on the necklace. It looked expensive.

“Here, take it.”

Ning Yan handed the necklace to Yu Chen and explained, “This is a magic treasure that can block the Talent Tree. Regardless of cultivation level, it can’t be seen through.”

“Since you’ve helped me… I’ll treat you well in return.”

“This is a treasure. It’s extremely valuable. I’ll begrudgingly give it to you!”

Yu Chen took the necklace and accepted it without hesitation. There was a slight fragrance coming from the necklace.

After all, Ning Yan was right.

If not for Yu Chen, she might have died tragically today.

However, under Yu Chen’s gaze, Ning Yan actually took out another similar necklace and put it on her neck.

Yu Chen: “?”

Wasn’t it supposed to be worth a fortune?

Why did it seem as if it was worth as much as cabbages?

Seeing Yu Chen’s strange gaze, Ning Yan couldn’t help but say, “Why? I’m the ruler of a country. My personal safety is extremely important. Isn’t it normal for me to have a few magic treasures to protect myself?”

Yu Chen was a little surprised. “You’re actually the ruler of a country?”

Ning Yan coughed dryly and deadpanned, “If you have an opinion, report it. If you don’t, withdraw from the court!”

You don’t say. Those words… sounded as if it could be the truth.

This was the first time Yu Chen had seen a king. He couldn’t help but say, “You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

From the outside, Ning Yan could be considered a femme fatale.

But he had never expected her to be a king.

Ning Yan sighed dejectedly. “Sigh… So what? Senior, as a second realm cultivator, you should be familiar with the matter of a clan controlling the kingdom, right?”

“Although I’m supposed to be the ruler of a country, it’s actually just one of the means to increase my so-called ‘value’.”

“The one controlling the kingdom, is actually the clan…”

Yu Chen immediately knew that this person was from a powerful clan. At the same time, his doubts were dispelled.

If she were the true ruler of a country, she would not have gone out without a guard, let alone coming to such a remote place.

Following the principle that the enemy of his enemy was his friend, Yu Chen asked Ning Yan,

“Your Majesty, may I ask how you offended Wang Yun?”
