Chapter 5826: I Am Hu Biao

In the forecourt, Kababon had already relayed the message to Tamu King, and now the king awaited Jian Wushuang in the main hall.

“By the way, I haven’t asked my brother’s name yet, so I can report to the king later!”

Jian Wushuang didn’t hesitate, answering directly, “I am Hu Biao, from the south bank of the Roman River!”

Kababon chuckled, “Brother Hu, please wait a moment. I’ll go in and report to the king!”

With that, he entered the main hall, leaving Jian Wushuang and his companions outside. Turning to the solemn-faced Li Sheng, Jian Wushuang conveyed through a message, “Just use your own names, say you’re my subordinates, nothing more. I’ve already transmitted the basic information about the south bank to your tokens, take a quick look!”

Although their auras were all those of savage beasts, for safety’s sake, they still needed to brush up on their knowledge of the Infinite Great World and the discourse commonly used among savage beasts. Otherwise, they might arouse suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng and the others quickly checked their tokens.

Jian Wushuang glanced at Jinchen.

She was only an Emperor, but her beauty was unparalleled.

Even though she had turned into a mermaid, her face remained that of a normal human, unchanged from before, except for her feet, which had become fish tails.

“Take this!” Jian Wushuang handed her a mask.

Jinchen, puzzled, asked, “What’s this for?”

“Don’t think, just put it on!” Jian Wushuang sensed Kababon’s approach and hurriedly urged her.

Without further hesitation, Jinchen quickly put on the mask.

Swish!

Though the contours of her face remained unchanged, there was now a black fish scale on her left cheek.

She couldn’t believe it as she touched her face, feeling a sense of despair creeping in.

First, she had turned into a wild beast, and now there was a fish scale on her face.

She was on the brink of collapse.

The Sacred Assembly!

Or rather, it felt like a purgatory.

The weak struggled while the strong vied for dominance.

Suddenly, she felt a strong desire to go back.

Back to Yue Kingdom.

She wanted to go to the Daughter Kingdom even more.

No wonder Queen Yun Zhi had advised her against attending the Sacred Assembly.

Everything had its reasons.

Her mother’s sudden departure, the fall of the elders.

The blows to her were too much.

Jian Wushuang glanced over, though it pained him somewhat, he had no other choice.

The reason why the Empress was the Empress was probably because the trials she endured were far more terrifying than now.

At least now Jian Wushuang was there to protect Jinchen.

She hoped the other party could make it through.

If one lacked a firm will and only sought a life of wealth and luxury,

it would be better to seek refuge with Queen Yun Zhi.

Following Empress Fengchen, even her own daughter, wouldn’t have an easy time.

The Empress would only become stricter towards Jian Wushuang.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The Empress’s expectation was that after she became a Holy Maiden, Jinchen would be able to take her place.

As long as Jinchen broke through to the Tribulation Realm, rapidly reached the Third Tribulation, then mastered the universe, inherited the throne, she would also have that qualification.

And with the Empress’s blessing, securing the throne would not be difficult.

This was the Empress’s expectation for Jinchen.

If the Empress saw Jinchen’s current state, she might be disappointed.

Perhaps Jian Wushuang was also taken into account.

Jian Wushuang felt that he could also help Jinchen.

But Jian Wushuang was not someone to be underestimated.

Staying in Yue Kingdom for long was impossible.

After this Sacred Meeting, he would probably leave.

Jinchen had to face everything alone.

“Ah!” Jian Wushuang concealed his sigh and turned his head towards the hall.

The heart of a strong one must be resolute.

They must face the path that the strong must walk.

Greenhouses have flowers, but no thorns!

“Please, Hu Biao!” a loud voice sounded in the hall, and Babidi also stepped forward, making

a gesture of invitation.

Jian Wushuang nodded and turned to Li Sheng behind him, saying, “You wait here, I’ll go in

alone!”

It was an invitation to him, bringing more people wouldn’t be appropriate.

This was a courtesy visit.

Not just a casual call.

Stepping forward, as he entered the hall, he felt a sense of oppression.

He retracted his telekinetic force, refraining from probing, as it would be impolite.

He could only glance around with his eyes before taking another step forward.

At a rough estimate, there were hundreds of powerful individuals in this hall.

Even the weakest emitted the aura of the Third Tribulation, and the aura of those at the Fourth Tribulation was considerable.

And there were also two mighty individuals at the Fifth Tribulation.

Seated on high thrones on both sides.

In the central position, there was the king of the River of Roman, ‘Tamu’.

Walking to the center of the hall, Jian Wushuang bowed and performed the highest courtesy

among savage beasts.

“Kid, on the south bank of the Roman River, Hu Biao from Wanda Mountain pays respects to

the Great King!”

As soon as his words fell, a peak powerhouse at the fourth tribulation next to him spoke up, “Mount Wanda? Never heard of it!”

“Such a nameless mountain, how dare it compare to the Weilong Mountain!” Jian Wushuang

lifted his head, facing the inquirer directly, his tone resolute this time.

There was no hint of reverence towards the strong.

In this world of savage beasts, strength was the only currency.

For the powerful, one should show respect.

For equals in strength, regardless of status, they were treated as such.

“So are you here at the Roman River to pay respects to the mountain or to seek

companionship?” Another voice came from Jian Wushuang’s right.

Turning to look, there stood a colossal lava beast, its head adorned with fragments of rocks, towering to hundreds of feet in height.

Not a savage beast, but a special being, with a divine power slightly stronger than his own.

“I’m here to pay respects to the mountain, not to seek companionship!” Jian Wushuang

replied succinctly.

Clack!

On the highest throne in the upper left corner, there was the sound of knocking, and the Law

King of the Fifth Tribulation spoke up.

“I’ve heard you possess primordial stones, obtained by killing a passerby. Whose sacred

possessions did you rob?”

Getting straight to the point, the Law King’s words eased Jian Wushuang’s tension.

It was indeed because of the primordial stones that he had the chance to pay respects to the

mountain.

But his real purpose was not to exchange the stones for treasures.

It was to secure a foothold in the Weilong Mountain.

From then on, he would have a guarantee.

He had thought about it; he might have to stay in the Roman River for a while.

Avoiding trouble wasn’t an option, especially when he had to find Wu Li.

And he was accompanied by some people.

It wasn’t convenient at all; he had no choice but to enter a major power first.

It was a safer approach.

Using the primordial stones as a reason to enter the Weilong Mountain to exchange for

treasures.

Even if it meant bullying the weak with the strong, he would do it.

The loss was negligible.

His strength was enough, coupled with the power of the Beast God.

Those savage beasts still regarded him highly.

Otherwise, they would have just robbed him without so much fuss.

Jian Wushuang raised his head proudly and replied loudly, “I robbed cultivators and killed

outsiders!” Finishing his words, he directly took out more than 60,000 primordial stones.

They were scattered, deliberately making it seem like that was all he had. These savage beasts were knowledgeable about cultivators and knew the significance of the

primordial stones.

Jian Wushuang’s visible combat strength could, at most, kill some cultivators at the Fourth

Tribulation.

The number of primordial stones he obtained was about this much; any more would raise

suspicion.

Seeing the primordial stones, the eyes of many powerful savage beasts widened, even the Law

Kings on both sides stood up.

Only Tamu King remained unmoved.
