Hong Jiuquan nodded slightly, glanced regretfully at the spot where Aroye had disappeared, and turned back to the Human Emperor's Palace.

After bringing her back to her place, Su Nian said softly to her, "Don't worry, after this competition is over, I will seek justice for Aloye."

Hong Jiuquan felt a warmth in his heart and nodded gently.

The first match has ended. Aroye defeated Hong Jiuquan!

The Emperor's Palace is currently leading by one point, which is causing Yama a great deal of trouble.

He glanced at the ghost soldiers on his side, hesitating about who to send in for the second round.

Finally, his gaze fell on someone.

"Um... Your Excellency," Yama hesitated, then respectfully asked, "In this battle... would you be allowed to take the lead?"

"Yes, I came here to help you in this battle."

The person responded, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the ghosts, slowly flew down from the city wall.

"Who is he...?" Su Nian asked, puzzled.

Many people at the Emperor's Palace were also puzzled.

"I have absolutely no recollection of this person. I wonder if he is some powerful being from ten thousand years ago," Qian Muyu said, stroking his chin.

Su Nian agreed.

Choosing who to send out for the second match is a real problem...

Just as he hesitated, Wan Fanghan, the former patriarch of the Chaos Demon Clan, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, shall I take on this battle?"

"The other party must be a big shot. Are you sure you can handle it?" Su Nian asked, her gaze fixed on Wan Fanghan.

Wan Fanghan nodded, then smiled and said, "This battle concerns His Majesty's reputation. No matter who the opponent is, Wan Fanghan will go all out!"

"Since you have such confidence, then I believe in you!" Su Nian patted Wan Fanghan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "There's no need to force yourself. If something unexpected happens, just admit defeat. We don't need to lose a great general like you here!"

Wan Fanghan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, before we go into battle, I have one more request."

"What is it? Speak."

Wan Fanghan glanced at Qian Weiwei furtively and said, “It’s like this… Your Majesty, I know that your wife was framed by our ancestors a thousand years ago and was sealed away for a thousand years. Since the merger of the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm, the situation of my Chaos Demon Clan has not been good. If I win this battle… I hope that Your Majesty can forgive and forget and give my Chaos Demon Clan a peaceful place.”

Su Nian smiled and said, "So that's what it was about. No problem! Regardless of whether you win or lose this battle, I will give instructions afterwards so that the others will not make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he flew down from the city wall.

Qian Weiwei appeared beside Su Nian at this moment, cupping her flushed face and swaying her slender waist, saying, "Oh my~ Your Majesty, everyone thinks she's your wife! Aren't you going to do something about it?"

Su Nian felt three murderous gazes and coughed twice.

"Ahem! Let's watch the martial arts competition first, let's watch the martial arts competition first!"

After Wan Fanghan landed, he cupped his hands and said, "Clan Chief of the Chaos Demon Clan, Wan Fanghan, please enlighten me!"

"South Heavenly Gate, Ancient Venerable," the Ancient Venerable said calmly.

The crowd in the Emperor's Palace erupted in uproar!

Even Su Nian was slightly taken aback.
