Duan Gujin perked up his ears, listening carefully to the nearby martial artists' conversation.

After a while, he learned the gist of the situation.

It turned out that there was a woman here holding a martial arts competition for marriage. Whoever defeated the woman in the ring and her father could take her as their wife.

Just now, Li Shisan had defeated more than a dozen opponents, even defeating the woman and her father.

Logically, Li Shisan could rightfully take the woman away.

However, at this moment, a local wealthy disciple strolled by with a group of lackeys. When he saw the woman's beauty, he ordered his men to go up on the ring and used hidden weapons to injure Li Shisan.

After the lackeys defeated Li Shisan, the wealthy disciple went up on stage, pretended to easily defeat his own men, and then declared himself the victor and said the woman should marry him.

Who could possibly accept this in their heart?

Especially Li Shisan, who was sabotaged by the wealthy disciple's lackeys.

Even though Li Shisan was at the fourth realm of Martial Emperor, he had two subordinates at the eighth level of Martial Emperor.

The two subordinates teamed up and used underhanded tricks to defeat Li Shisan.

Li Shisan felt indignant and restless, but his strength was no match for the two men.

After learning the situation, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he didn't know whether he should intervene.

He realized that should he intervene, he might completely alter Li Shisan's future trajectory, possibly even Zhan Huantai's future.

He pondered for a while and decided he shouldn't overthink future matters.

"In the grand scheme of things, destiny has its say."

He took a deep breath. He originally wanted to send a gift to a fishing village on the Yuanzhen Continent, only to find they were all massacred.

Their deaths were connected to a villain he was meant to kill in a previous life. If he had killed the villain, the villagers wouldn't have died.

However, he arrived at the Yuanzhen Continent a bit late, finding the villagers slaughtered, which left him feeling helpless.

He could only relate all of this to the inscrutable flow of destiny, so he decided he should do what he was meant to do.

"I'll help Li Shisan. If he and Zhan Huantai are destined, they will meet eventually!"

Duan Gujin secretly communicated with Qing Lian.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Qing Lian nodded slightly in agreement.

Duan Gujin projected his Divine Sense and noticed a large group rushing towards the ring.

From their attire, he recognized them as the wealthy disciple's entourage.

Duan Gujin saw Li Shisan wounded, struggling to fight two martial emperor warriors stronger than himself.

If the wealthy disciple's entourage arrived later, there was no way Li Shisan could defeat them.

So, Duan Gujin darted forward.

His Martial Saint Primordial Power erupted, causing the three martial emperor warriors on stage to frown deeply, their minds racing about which side Duan Gujin belonged to.

"You two shouldn't bully the weak! I detest those who bully others with their power!"

Duan Gujin shouted coldly, and the intimidating force of his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul burst forth, making the three warriors, including Li Shisan, tremble with fear in their Divine Souls.

Hearing that the Martial Saint Warrior was confronting them, saying they shouldn't bully the weak, the two lackeys of the wealthy disciple were left speechless.

They felt their Martial Souls being intimidated, trying to channel Primordial Power to dissolve the oppressive force.

However, after channeling Primordial Power for a long time, they still couldn't dispel the fear from their Divine Souls.

This terrified them, knowing the young man before them was a Martial Saint Expert, a whole realm higher than them in cultivation.

Clearly, they knew that even if they teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for the Martial Saint Expert before them.

They exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Then, their bodies flashed as they quickly retreated.

"Friend, we are the personal guards of Bamu City's Young City Lord. Our young master is Murong Fu, the City Lord's son. May I ask for your name?"

One of the martial emperor warriors asked.

"So it's Murong Fu. You don't need to know my name. Go back and tell your young master Murong Fu that I'm protecting this person. If you cause him trouble, I won't let you off. No need to mention Murong Fu to me. You see, I'm a genuine Martial Saint Warrior! I believe the one with the biggest fist has the loudest voice, right? You can't disagree with me, can you?"

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

Everyone was left speechless by Duan Gujin's words.

They saw the young man before them bullying the young city lord of Bamu City because he was a Martial Saint. Isn't that bullying?

"Who are you? Name yourself! I am Murong Fu, the Young City Lord of Bamu City!"

Then, a plump young man rushed onto the stage.

Duan Gujin scrutinized the young man, discovering his cultivation was just the third level of Martial Sect. His face was pale, and his steps unsteady, probably drained by indulgence in wine and women.

"You should step down. I don't take Bamu City's Young City Lord seriously! Can't you see I'm a genuine Martial Saint Warrior? Do you know how big the gap between our strengths is?"

Duan Gujin chuckled dryly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's disdain, Murong Fu flared up, his face darkening. He waved his right hand, signaling his men to attack Duan Gujin.

Under normal circumstances, his men would have charged without hesitation.

But now, Murong Fu's men hesitated, looking at each other and not daring to challenge Duan Gujin.

His men saw Duan Gujin as a real Martial Saint, each of them terrified, knowing that even if they all went up, they might not be a match for Duan Gujin, risking annihilation.

"Go! All of you, go!"

Seeing his men unmoved, Murong Fu flared up. He wanted to drag his men to fight Duan Gujin, who had insulted him.

However, as soon as he reached the edge of the ring, he stumbled, falling off the high platform.

Seeing his blunder, the crowd laughed out loud.

Murong Fu quickly got up from the ground, tidying his clothes a bit, but hearing the crowd's mockery only fueled his wrath further.
