Chapter 41: The Engagement Is Called Off!

“B-Breaking off the engagement?!”

Everyone stared at one another in bewilderment.

What engagement?

It was not only those who knew nothing about it who were stunned; even Dai Mubai himself stood frozen for a long while.

Breaking off the engagement?

Only then did he remember who the person before him was.

No wonder she had seemed familiar. So it was her!

“Boss Dai, what is going on?” Oscar asked aloud. Compared with his own affairs, he felt that this broken engagement was far more important. How had he never heard Dai Mu—

To let the mage deal with them? They might as well accept the Knight Commander’s challenge. Perhaps they would still have a chance of surviving.

At the mention of Shen Feiyan’s name, Jun Yifeng’s eyes widened, yet the anger he had felt before was gone. Even he found it surprising. In the past, merely hearing Shen Feiyan’s name would have made him lose all reason and fly into a rage. But now, all he felt was calm—utter calm.

“These things are nowhere near as important as you are.” Mu Yeli held her hand tightly in his palm. As he breathed in the delicate fragrance drifting from her, the smile at the corner of his lips deepened.

The Left Chancellor cast an inquiring glance at the Right Chancellor. Seeing the other man’s eyes wandering, as though he had no idea what to think, his expression darkened at once.

Thus, another half hour passed before she finally rose, let her dark hair fall loose, and opened the door with a slight furrow between her brows.

He wondered whether those beings who ultimately seized the Demon God Mark would be like him. Would they, too, hear a voice ordering them to gather the power of the Demon God?

Ordinarily, there was no need to do so on weekends. However, taking Han Zhuoling’s and Han Bang’s work into consideration, they had scheduled the two weekend days to record the third episode so as not to interfere with his job.

Sun Pengyuan cast a smug glance at the lonely students of the Celestial Calculation Academy huddled in the corner, his contempt plain for all to see. Only then did he present the great spear with both hands to Xiao Zhenzi for inspection.

With an indifferent expression, she displayed the golden token to the guards of Chaohua Gate. Watching as they respectfully opened the heavy vermilion palace doors, she raised her brows faintly and glanced upward at the three gilded characters of Chaohua Gate, glowing with a ghostly sheen beneath the pure moonlight. Then she curled her lips coldly, urged her horse forward, and entered the imperial city.

Suddenly, a name flashed through Tang Mo’s mind. He looked at Fu Wenda in astonishment, only to discover that Fu Wenda had thought of that place as well.

“You go back first. I still have some matters to deal with.” Jin Feng gently wiped the sweat from her brow. Chu Yunlian nodded.

Once Jin Ri departed, the situation in the city immediately became clear. Jue Kong had also suffered some injuries from Jin Ri’s strike and could only return to the temple to recover, leaving him no time to concern himself with anything else.

Although Huang Mian was older than Sima Ji and had lived during the Yin and Shang period, after the fall of Yin and Shang he had made his home in the snowy plains and knew little of what had happened beyond them.

Forget the others—even I felt such intense fear for the first time. Why was I afraid? Because, just moments ago, I had been completely unable to determine the origin or cultivation of this corpse. All I could sense was that it was unbelievably powerful—and unbelievably terrifying.

Kano Xuan thus became the new leader of the Linyao Clan, and these waters came to be known as the Sea of Judgment. The members of the Linyao Clan moved to this region and lived there from that day forward. Though the demon race was enraged, it also feared the power of the Sea of Judgment and never launched a war to avenge its Demon Lord.

At that moment, the corpse retriever had already fainted, though he was still alive. The instant I reached the shore, the people nearby gathered around. But as they looked at the corpse retriever, everyone suddenly drew in a sharp breath.

The Pursuing Sword Technique was his greatest specialty. In all these years, it had never failed him—but when it came to Tang Rao, this was not the first time an exception had been made.

Heaven’s Apex Peak was the place most likely to conceal the key to the Deadlands of the Nine Nether Mountains, so they headed there first.

Ji Tian struck out once more, cleaving open a massive fissure. Before it could close, he moved and leapt inside. In an instant, he escaped the restraints of this world. Before him stretched a barrier of dazzling gold.
