Chapter 443: Chapter 304: Dazzling Debut
In the afternoon at one, a dense crowd filled Emperor Hong City.
All the city residents knew that today within Emperor Hong City, the Young City Lord was to be buried, and the traitor who caused his death, Yuan Shahu, was to be executed.
Yuan Bupo and Mr. and Mrs. Yuan found the waiting unbearable.
Little Red and Blue had been gone for five or six days already, and it was unknown whether they had found Yun Canglang yet.
Yuan Bupo and Yuan Shanshan exchanged glances, both of them restless at this point.
Madam Yuan’s face was filled with sorrow, while Yuan Wuqu also looked forlorn.
He had thought that by revealing the dungeon’s map, guiding Yuan Bupo and Yuan Shanshan to rescue Yuan Shahu, and sneakily sending her out of the city, it would be enough.
Who would have thought that Yuan Shahu had already resigned herself to death, refusing to leave no matter what?
Were they really to just watch their eldest daughter be executed?
"She’s coming out!"
"The traitor is coming out!"
The citizens boiled with excitent, as they saw a procession erging from the city gate.
Upon seeing the woman in the center, the townsfolk burst into an angry tirade.
Yuan Bupo and the others also saw Yuan Shahu, and at the sa ti, they noticed the wedding attire that was even redder than flas on her body!
"Damn it! They dared to humiliate big sister like this!" Yuan Bupo, upon seeing the wedding attire and the smug Madam Bi next to it, was filled with rage.
"This is outrageous, Father, Mother, Madam Bi is blatantly insulting the Yuan Family by doing this!" Yuan Shanshan felt a pang in her heart upon seeing her sister in such pain.
Madam Yuan was shedding tears, struggling to refrain from looking directly at her daughter.
Yuan Wuqu clenched the armrest of his chair, his tiger eyes flickering with anger, humiliation, and agitation.
"Father, I will rescue big sister!" Yuan Bupo could no longer stay seated.
"No! Your big sister... she doesn’t want to drag us down," Yuan Wuqu gave his eldest daughter, Yuan Shahu, one last look.
Despite imnse humiliation, Yuan Shahu never once lifted her eyes to look at her family.
By now, Yuan Shahu wished for a swift death.
She didn’t want to be a burden on her family any longer.
Xuan Wuji’s coffin was being carried out, and next to it was another coffin.
It was prepared for Yuan Shahu.
They planned to nail her to death inside the coffin and bury her with Xuan Wuji.
At the quarter past noon, Yuan Shahu in red attire was escorted to the side of the coffin.
Yuan Shahu was jostled along, walking towards the coffin.
With each step she took, Yuan Bupo felt an agony in his heart.
Just as Yuan Shahu was being pushed into the coffin, Yuan Bupo could no longer stand still: "No, Father, I can’t do this."
He clenched the Dragon Flute in his hand, about to charge into the crowd.
At that mont, a crisp sound of bird chirping ca from the sky.
Following the chirping sound, a clear male voice lingered outside Emperor Hong City.
"This is Yun Canglang from Great Zhou, here to pay a visit to the Emperor Hong City Lord!"
Outside the city gate, three people stood suspended in the air.
They were Yun Canglang in the middle, Zong Ren on the left, and Yun Sheng on the right.
Yuan Shahu, who had already one foot in the coffin, was shocked to her core when she heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, her delicate body trembling as she incredulously looked up into the sky.
Emperor Hong City Lord Xuan Sitian also noticed the three people in mid-air.
He observed that none of the three had Flying Magical Beasts. Three masters with Flying Ability appearing all at once?! Even Emperor Hong City Lord couldn’t help but take special notice.
Yun Canglang, from his lofty position, was searching hard for Yuan Shahu’s figure among the crowd.
Despite not seeing Yuan Shahu’s appearance clearly, Yun Canglang recognized that familiar figure at a glance.
When he saw Yuan Shahu wearing bridal attire, a violent fury began to grow wildly around him.
"City Lord, that man is Yun Canglang, accompanied by the Holy Beast Summoner Zong Ren, and his niece Yun Sheng. That Yun Sheng is the female Mage who previously snatched away the Emperor Jade; it seems she bears the Karma Fire Mark of the Elf Clan. Also, I heard she possesses remarkable dical Skill, it was she who healed Yun Canglang’s hand," the Great Elder spot Yun Canglang and noticed that he was indeed a Martial Saint who had advanced after undergoing Heavenly Thunder Body Refining, and in less than half a month, Yun Canglang’s strength had greatly increased.
In his fury, he was not sure if he could definitely defeat Yun Canglang.
Upon hearing this, Lady Rou, standing next to Xuan Sitian, hurriedly stepped forward.
"City Lord, did you say that girl is a Divine Doctor? Could she help ii with her face?" Lady Rou was Xuan ii’s mother, and she doted greatly on her only daughter.
Xuan ii was scarred by Karmic Fire, and no one in Emperor Hong City could heal her.
Lady Rou might only be a concubine, but she was Xuan Sitian’s personal Maid back in the day. If it weren’t for Xuan Sitian’s need to seize the position of City Lord, which required him to marry Madam Bi, she would have been the City Lord’s Wife.
However, Xuan Sitian genuinely deeply cared for her, eventually taking her in as his concubine.
The one who was happiest about Xuan Wuji’s death was actually Lady Rou. Without any offspring, Madam Bi would inevitably fall out of favor within a few years.
On the contrary, Xuan ii’s natural talent was better than Xuan Wuji’s, but she lost the qualification to inherit the position of City Lord simply because she was a daughter.
But long ago, Lady Rou plotted in her heart. Although the chances of her daughter inheriting the City Lord were slim, her daughter fancied Yuan Bupo, and it was not a day or two affair.
If she could take advantage of this opportunity to do a favor for the Yuan Family, then in the future, if the two families beco relatives by marriage, she would still be the future City Lord’s mother-in-law, maintaining her power undiminished.
Thinking this way, Lady Rou not only harbored no animosity toward Yun Canglang and the others, but she actually felt sowhat grateful to them.
But before this, she had to find a way to heal ii’s face.
Just then, the Great Elder ntioned that among the group, one was a Divine Doctor. Lady Rou caught on, and started to kindly persuade the others.
"Lady Rou, what are you implying? Yun Canglang is an enemy of Emperor Hong City, how can we allow him into the city? City Lord, although it was said that Yuan Shahu killed Wuji, it ultimately cos back to Yun Canglang. In my opinion, they should be imdiately shot down with a hail of arrows!" Having said that, Madam Bi had already summoned archers, all aiming at the people in the sky.
"Hold on!" Xuan Sitian looked aningfully at Yun Sheng and Yun Canglang.
As the City Lord, he wouldn’t let hatred cloud his judgnt. The hatred for the murder of his son certainly couldn’t be ignored, but three exceptionally strong individuals weren’t the kind that could be easily killed on the spot.
Moreover, these three were not ordinary people; behind them possibly stood the powers of Great Zhou and Xianju Country.
Emperor Hong City might be powerful, but facing two of the continent’s strongest nations at the sa ti was clearly not sothing they had the odds to win.
"Is that her?" Yuan Bupo also saw the three people in the sky.
But his gaze instantly fell on Yun Sheng to the right.
Yun Sheng in mid-air had her long hair casually tied behind her, wearing a moon-white Magic Robe. Her delicate face under the sunlight resembled a piece of exquisite jade, flawless and ethereal.
Yuan Bupo was utterly captivated by her.
Only then did he realize how much he had missed that graceful figure in the sky.
After a mont of contemplation, Emperor Hong City Lord suddenly soared into the air, just to see a vast and boundless overwhelming pressure instantly assail them.
