Yiya had heard this name and knew who he was. That was why her expression had changed, and she realized that Jiang Chen had agreed too rashly.
"Hou Jue isn't classified on the Sacred Lord List because he isn't a Sacred Lord, but a Doctrine Protector." Yiya silently transmitted her voice to Jiang Chen and continued, "He once entered the fourth area and came out of it unscathed. What is most important is he mastered one of the Goddess of Empyrean's 36 magical techniques, the Great Destruction Palm."
Moreover, Hou Jue's Martial Dais was at heaven grade, and if he was given enough time to build up power, the might released by the Great Destruction Palm would be unimaginable.
They realized how outrageous this gamble was only because they knew such information. Hou Jue had asked Jiang Chen to block his palm strike, which meant Jiang Chen must stand in place and wait for Hou Jue to attack with his palm strike.
