"The competition, I'm not participating anymore."
"I don't owe you anything."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes were red, his voice choked with sobs as he roared, walking towards the exit, tearing off his number nine jersey, shredding it into rags, and throwing it on the ground.
"I don't owe any of you a single thing!"
Chen Jiuyang walked out, and no one stopped him.
They couldn't bring themselves to speak, they all felt ashamed of Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Fengge stared intently at the Dragon Capital Sword Master and King Yan, saying coldly, "You've done a splendid job. Let's not associate with each other anymore!"
The Dragon Capital Sword Master gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Fengge, tell Chen Jiuyang that his wife and child are safe and alive. This is the answer from the Forbidden City."
"Tell him not to ruin his future and go astray."
King Yan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I told you long ago not to hide it from him, but you wouldn't listen to me."
The Dragon Capital Sword Master gnashed his teeth, not saying a word.
King Yan flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Watching Chen Jiuyang, dressed in white, with disheveled hair and bloodstains, emerge from the Dragon Country Martial Rankings Hotel, countless Dragon Country citizens gathered outside were shocked. Chen Jiuyang's aura was too terrifying, directly causing many ordinary people to faint on the spot.
The overwhelming hatred made countless people's hair stand on end.
They didn't know what had happened, but they made way for Chen Jiuyang.
Half an hour later.
News that shook the world was released.
Dragon Country's Chen Jiuyang, who had advanced to the semi-finals of the Martial Rankings World Championship, forfeited the competition due to personal reasons.
Upon hearing the news, countless people were stunned and shocked.
The moment he boarded the plane, Chen Jiuyang's phone regained its signal.
His phone was bombarded, filled with countless messages.
Countless people were comforting him.
But he couldn't process any of the comforting messages.
On the plane were him, Chen Fengge, and Yao Deyun.
Chen Fengge busied himself with his phone, unskillfully contacting Chen Bian to inquire about what had happened.
Chen Bian's voice was hoarse and heavy, "Old Ancestor, we are all fine. We are investigating the culprit."
"Please inform Jiuyang that we are safe and waiting for him to return home."
Chen Fengge's phone was on speaker, and Chen Jiuyang heard everything Chen Bian said.
But Chen Jiuyang felt too ashamed to reply.
"Chen Lang, Leng Yue, Yi Han, and Mom and Dad are all fine. Please don't do anything foolish."
This was Lin Yuexian's anxious voice.
"Jiuyang, the Chief Constable of the Dragon Capital Six Doors has visited us. He told us that Zixuan and the child are unharmed, though their whereabouts are unknown. Please, do not do anything foolish."
This was Ji Lengyue's voice.
"Chen Jiuyang, don't do anything foolish out there. This is a big matter. We, as a family, will discuss it properly and find Sister Zixuan! Please, don't do anything foolish!" This was Qiu Yihan's anxious voice.
Who among his confidantes didn't know Chen Jiuyang's character?
A promise made him dare to kill his way out of the country alone, his word was worth a thousand gold, and he almost died outside Dragon Country.
A thousand-mile interception to prove himself to everyone, to regain his pride.
The battle of 318 City was even more so.
Countless people feared that Chen Jiuyang would do something foolish.
"Son, your father and I are at home. Zixuan has gone missing. Please don't make me and your father send you off before us."
Zhang Xiuzhen said with a crying voice.
Hearing Zhang Xiuzhen's voice, Chen Jiuyang finally replied with a hoarse voice, "Mom, I know. Don't worry, I'll be home safe."
When Chen Fengge called, how could they not know that Chen Jiuyang was by the phone?
Hearing Chen Jiuyang's reply, everyone, including Lin Yuexian, Ji Lengyue, Qiu Yihan, Chen Bian, Chen Fengge, Grandma Han, Lin Buwen, and others, breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Fengge breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly asked Chen Bian, "What exactly happened?"
Chen Bian said solemnly, "We couldn't find any clues about the killer who annihilated the Yao family. Zixuan's disappearance is suspicious. After Jiuyang left, an old monk walked out from the river by our house and said some unpleasant things to Zixuan, saying that the child in Zixuan's womb must not be born, otherwise, there would be a great disaster. Other than that, we have no useful clues."
Chen Fengge frowned and asked, "Was it the Buddhist sect who did it?"
Chen Bian said, "No, the old monk who said that has been apprehended. It wasn't the Buddhist sect. That person was just an ascetic monk who practiced incomplete Buddhist dharma."
Chen Fengge said in a deep voice, "Did you seek help from the Holy Land?"
Chen Bian said bitterly, "Old Ancestor, without a royal decree, we cannot enter the Holy Land or contact them. Moreover, the Holy Land of the Forbidden City has already intervened."
Chen Fengge's brows immediately furrowed into the shape of the character 'Chuan'.
Who exactly dared to target the relatives of Dragon Country's Human King in this era, and even the Holy Land had used divination and still couldn't find any clues?
How deep were the waters here?
Chen Fengge could only reply, "We are already on our way back to Dragon Country. When we return, will there be any experts protecting us at home?"
Chen Bian said, "After the incident, Old Ancestor Han Peiling came here immediately to protect us. We've been trying to contact you, but we couldn't."
Chen Fengge finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With him here, that's good."
After such a terrifying incident, outsiders couldn't be trusted, only their own people could be relied upon.
Although Han Peiling was from the demonic path, Qiu Yihan was Chen Jiuyang's woman. Under the concept of clan lineage over countless years, Han Peiling was one of their own.
...
After a long silence, after an unknown amount of time.
The plane was about to reach the border of the Dragon Capital sea.
Chen Jiuyang suddenly said hoarsely, "Head to the Zhennan Army."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Countless people were once again shocked. Chen Jiuyang, abandoning his championship position in the Martial Rankings, returned to Dragon Country by plane, and his first destination was not home, but towards the Zhennan Army.
This stirred countless people's hearts and led to speculation.
Could it be that the Zhennan King, Zhou Fangzun, was involved?
How was this possible?!
However, given his blood ties and well-known personality, King Qian, Chen Jiuyang, would never speak without reason.
What exactly had happened in between?!
Many people called, wanting to stop Chen Jiuyang.
Even Chen Fengge didn't know that Chen Jiuyang was going to find another Human King.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A thousand meters in the sky, the plane's cabin door opened, and a strong airflow hit, the temperature being frighteningly low.
Chen Jiuyang jumped directly from the plane.
Directly below was the area where Zhennan King Zhou Fangzun was stationed.
Countless people were rushing towards this direction.
Chen Jiuyang, holding a saber alone, his voice like the roar of an enraged immortal god, echoed for more than ten li:
"Zhou Fangzun, get out here!!!"
Golden, majestic, and terrifying blood qi was burning. Even from a great distance, one could feel the heart-pounding anger.
