"Wait! City Lord of Copper dicine, this matter isn't like that..."
Wang Xu wanted to argue, but the City Lord of Copper dicine interrupted him rcilessly.
"Brother Tai Xu, there's no need to be modest. You've defeated Yun Juan Fengyou in front of everyone, and according to the laws we initially agreed upon, it is right for you to beco my family's son-in-law!" The City Lord of Copper dicine said with a broad smile, "Rest assured, I, Copper dicine Thunder Roar, as the lord of a city, will definitely not go back on my word. Everyone present can be witnesses to this, right?"
The people below were montarily stunned, then they all nodded and confird.
They truly had no idea what kind of plot the City Lord of Copper dicine was brewing.
As the top descendant of one of the four great families died here, not only did the City Lord of Copper dicine not personally punish the murderer, he even openly accepted the murderer as a son-in-law of his family.
This action was a blatant disregard for the mbers of the Yun Juan family!
"Father!"
Copper dicine Ye Rong was bewildered by the dramatic turn of events, and she couldn't help but call out when she ca to her senses.
"Rong'Er, do not be willful!" The City Lord of Copper dicine suddenly took on a solemn expression, "You have already publicly repented once, you cannot push further. This martial contest for marriage was sothing you personally agreed to. You must bear any outco; this is the true daughter of Copper dicine Thunder Roar!"
The words of the City Lord of Copper dicine left Copper dicine Ye Rong speechless.
Indeed, as the City Lord of Copper dicine said, she had already regretted once and even stated publicly that whoever defeated Yun Juan Fengyou could have everything.
But that was purely sothing Copper dicine Ye Rong said impulsively because she never thought anyone could actually defeat Yun Juan Fengyou, much less kill him on the spot!
"Hahaha... it is an honor to have everyone here today to witness a major event of my Copper dicine family. I announce that three months from now, right here, my daughter, Copper dicine Thunder Roar, will marry this young brother. I hope you witnesses will please join us again to bless them!" The City Lord of Copper dicine laughed.
The crowd below imdiately responded loudly, expressing that three months later, no matter how significant, they would put everything on hold to attend the City Lord's daughter's wedding.
"This..."
The overwhelming sound of congratulations and countless envious and jealous gazes not far away left Wang Xu in a daze.
The plan had failed.
Not only that, but he had also gotten himself involved!
"No, I really can't marry Copper dicine Ye Rong; I must leave here imdiately!" Wang Xu thought to himself.
But then he reconsidered.
"No, if I just leave like that, what will happen to the First Layer's quota?" Wang Xu hesitated; the First Layer's quota was too important to him.
Not to ntion finding the whereabouts of the Seed of Truth, just the dense Constant Spirit in the First Layer alone made one year of cultivation there equivalent to ten years in the Second Layer!
The tenfold ti difference might not matter to the average person, given their long lifespan, almost living an undying life.
But Wang Xu was different.
He bore heavy responsibilities, constantly worrying about his family in the Chaos, spending tenfold ti here was simply torture to him!
Moreover, missing this opportunity ant Wang Xu would have to expend unknown effort and ti to obtain the passage order for the First Layer again, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred, or even a thousand.
By then, if the Ganges River beings suddenly invaded and attacked the Chaos, he would have no chance at all.
"Over the years, the instincts in my body have grown from almost unnoticeable to this clear, indicating that the day Ganges River beings attack the Chaos is getting closer. If I don't get the Seed of Truth quickly..."
Wang Xu already considered himself a Ganges River being, with an extrely clear sense of instinct.
When this instinct becos strong enough to affect the Ganges River beings, just as when a person's hunger reaches a certain level, one will desperately seek food and do anything to survive; the Ganges River beings are no exception. Instinct will drive them to madness, with an endless desire for slaughter against Chaos beings!
"I must get this passage order, and as for how to leave the Copper dicine family, I'll find another way." Wang Xu decided in his heart.
Just then.
"Ahhh... who! Who is the cursed scoundrel who dared to kill my son? I will kill you and avenge my son!" An angry roar approached from far away, the figure unseen, yet the fierce presence had already arrived.
Whoosh!
A figure as swift as a swimming fish weaved through the bustling crowd, reaching Yun Juan Fengyou's corpse at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
"Fengyou! Fengyou!"
The scream sounded like a heart-wrenching cry, indicating the imnse pain in the person's heart.
He had already checked the core inside Yun Juan Feng You's body; it was completely shattered, with no trace of life left, utterly devoid of any path to survive.
"Who! Who dares to kill my 'Yun Juan Black City' son, I will repay this tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold!" Yun Juan Black City roared while holding the gradually cold corpse of Yun Juan Feng You.
Yun Juan Black City's hateful gaze swept across the crowd one by one.
But everyone unanimously looked towards Wang Xu not far away.
At this mont, Wang Xu naturally also noticed the presence of Yun Juan Black City.
Yun Juan Black City, one of the four great families of Copper dicine City, regardless of influence, strength, or power, ranked just below the ruler, City Lord of Copper dicine, and was even privately dubbed as the replacent family of Copper dicine City, poised to possibly drive out the Copper dicine Clan and ascend directly to the upper rank.
However, the reason Yun Juan Clan hadn't done so was purely out of fear of the power of the City Lord of Copper dicine.
A person of the Emperor Spirit Realm with the strength of five fingers of the Ganges River is no re fa, and even if the Yun Juan Clan is filled with powerful figures and overwhelming influence, they can only bow and submit before the City Lord of Copper dicine.
"Clan Leader Yun Juan, I am deeply ashad that your son has died here, but his death cannot be blad on anyone. I have long ago made the rules of the Martial Platform clear: regardless of who steps on it, their life or death is indifferent..." Copper dicine City Lord began to speak.
But just halfway through, Yun Juan Black City directly waved and interrupted him with an angry shout: "City Lord of Copper dicine, enough! You, as the lord of a city, watched my son die before your eyes without taking action to assist him, and now you even excuse the murderer. What exactly is your intention!"
Shouted at like this by Yun Juan Black City, the face of the City Lord of Copper dicine suddenly darkened.
After all, he was still a city lord, of eminent status, yet to be scolded in front of the public by a clan leader of a family was a slap in the face!
"Clan Leader Yun Juan, I am only stating facts and reasoning, do not wrongfully accuse." The tone of the City Lord of Copper dicine clearly changed, "This ti, everyone here witnessed your son Yun Juan Feng You being defeated at the Martial Platform. If you don't believe, feel free to ask anyone, they'll tell you."
"As for his skills not being as good as others on the Martial Platform and being killed, I had already stated in advance, his choice to accept this rule indicated he was prepared to face death. I think, Clan Leader Yun Juan, you should understand this, shouldn't you?"
Yun Juan Black City gritted his teeth, his face twisted.
He knew it was because the high status of Yun Juan Clan among the four great families threatened the Copper dicine Clan, making the City Lord of Copper dicine displeased with them for a long ti.
Not to ntion the top of the younger generation did not co from the Shudong Clan, nor from the Nankong Clan, nor belong to the Copper dicine Clan, but it was Yun Juan Feng You who ca out of the Yun Juan Clan!
From this, it is clear that the Yun Juan Clan's foundation is so strong that given ti, it will certainly surpass the Copper dicine Clan and completely replace them!
No one would allow their status to be replaced by a newcor, least of all the City Lord of Copper dicine.
But Yun Juan Black City never imagined that despite all his calculations, he still couldn't foresee this until Yun Juan Feng You's life core shattered at ho, he felt grief and regret deeply.
"City Lord of Copper dicine, I was reckless just now, please forgive ." Yun Juan Black City suppressed his anger and resentnt, "But I would like to ask the City Lord of Copper dicine to tell , who exactly killed my child."
The latter sentence was practically squeezed out through gritted teeth.
Yun Juan Feng You was a genius painstakingly cultivated by the clan, and achieving the Emperor Spirit Realm in the future was a certainty, even possibly reaching higher realms.
But with Yun Juan Feng You's death, all efforts and energies were in vain.
This grudge, he couldn't swallow it!
"Were you referring to the Tai Xu brother?" The City Lord of Copper dicine tugged one corner of his mouth into a aningful smile, and looked towards Wang Xu.
Yun Juan Black City followed his gaze, locking on Wang Xu at once.
"The murderer is him?!" Within Yun Juan Black City's eyes, a flash of malice passed, a hint of murderous intent surfaced and vanished.
But he also harbored a hint of bewildernt in his heart.
Feng You was trained by them, his strength crystal clear, yet this young man before him, no matter how strong, was rely within the True Spirit Realm, how could he leave Feng You without even a chance to escape?
"Clan Leader Yun Juan, I forgot to ntion so good news. This Tai Xu brother has already won in the martial competition to marry and has beco my Copper dicine Thunder Roar's son-in-law. Since you are also a mber of Copper dicine City, I hope that on the day of the wedding in three months, you can also offer blessings to the new couple of the Copper dicine Clan," the City Lord of Copper dicine said.
"Offer blessings... I definitely will, I will surely give them a grand blessing!" Yun Juan Black City locked his eyes on Wang Xu, speaking through clenched teeth.
He knew, the City Lord of Copper dicine was warning him, that was his person, and no one was allowed to make a move. Anyone who did would be going against him, the City Lord of Copper dicine!
"Feng You, let's go."
A mont later, knowing there was no way to avenge, Yun Juan Black City could only hide his resentnt, waiting for the opportunity.
He picked up Yun Juan Feng You's corpse, and his figure transford into an illusion, disappearing in front of everyone.
"What a pity for a good core," Wang Xu shook his head and sighed in his heart. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
