I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 481

Heaven and Earth Sect mountain gate.

Under the summoning of Su Yunyun, several disciples had already gathered.

There was the righteous Li Jin, holding a long sword.

There was the broad-foreheaded, cape-shouldered Bai Qiyu.

"Fellow disciple Xiao has already gone back ahead of us. Let's set off after fellow disciple 18 arrives!" Su Yunyun instructed.

"What, fellow disciple 18?"

"Fifth Martial Sister, you called for fellow disciple 18 as well?" Li Jin asked with knitted brows and a grave expression.

"Of course, we fellow brothers and sisters are of one heart."

Su Yunyun nodded solemnly.

Upon hearing this.

Li Jin's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat.

"Fifth Martial Sister, I think there's no need for that..." Li Jin said in a trembling voice: "When fellow disciple 18 starts fighting, he is too terrifying. When provoked, he even attacks his own people and frequently resorts to suicide bombing."

Upon hearing this.

Su Yunyun's brows furrowed.

It seemed she had also recalled something, her body couldn't help but tremble as she shuddered.

It was true that this eighteenth fellow disciple of hers was like so.

Nothing could stop him once he went crazy, not even her as his senior martial sister.

So she also started to hesitate, wondering whether or not she should call old eighteen?

However.

Before she could make a decision, a bandage-wrapped figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

It was none other than the eighteenth-ranked Hong Fengkuang.

As he walked over, he kept twisting his neck, an evil smile covering his face.

"I heard there's another fight to be had."

"I just wonder how many the enemies will be this time."

"If there are enough people, it'd be great to suicide bomb the center. That scene of mangled corpses and limbs, blood and bodies everywhere would definitely be a visual feast."

"This artistic act really makes me look forward to it."

The corners of his lips turned up as he let out a murmur.

At Hong Fengkuang's words, everyone around collectively broke out in chills.

Only after much persuasion and Hong Fengkuang's repeated promises not to suicide bomb did everyone finally prepare to hit the road in relief.

Their destination was in the virtual realm.

At this moment in the virtual realm.

Within Tianxing City of the Cang Qiong Empire.

In a lavish restaurant.

The place was filled with people, all influential figures from in and around Tianxing City.

However.

These people were now respectfully toasting wine to the two people seated at the main table, their expressions full of humility.

At the main seats.

Was an aloof, noble beauty. Faced with the toasting from these people, she paid them no mind, leaving an elderly man beside her to casually acknowledge them in her stead.

Her gaze only intentionally or unintentionally looked over the silent Xiao Family head Xiao Yun among them.

Noticing the woman's gaze, Xiao Yun's brows tightened.

The woman before him was named Liu Nanyan, from the neighboring Liu Family city.

For the past few hundred years, the Liu Family had always relied on the support of the Xiao Family, so they had developed rapidly. Hence, twenty years ago, the previous Liu Family generation had betrothed Liu Nanyan to his son Xiao Zhan to repay their gratitude.

But the present Liu Ruyan was no longer the same. She was found to have top-tier talents and became the sweetheart of all the sects in the Cang Qiong Empire, finally brought into Tianling Sect's gates.

Under Tianling Sect's meticulous nurturing, Liu Ruyan had not disappointed. In just three years, she broke through to the Human Immortal realm.

Human Immortal.

Perhaps not much in the virtual realm.

But she was only twenty now!

A twenty-year-old Human Immortal whose future accomplishments were limitless. So she also became Tianling Sect's holy maiden, groomed to be the next successor.

This identity carried much weight.

While the Xiao Family could barely be considered one of Tianxing City's overlords, Tianling Sect was the overlord of the entire Southern Territory, even having close ties with the imperial capital.

The disparity between their strengths was like heaven and earth.

So, a few days ago, Liu Nanyan and Tianling Sect's elders had come to the Xiao Family.

Directly expressing their desire to cancel the engagement.

Although calling off engagements was a huge humiliation in the virtual realm, one that would even nail his family's reputation to the Pillar of Shame, Xiao Yun understood in his heart Liu Nanyan's present status and his son's status.

Things change.

So in his heart, Xiao Yun did not want to cling to this olive branch.

It was just that his son had lived a life of frustrations. He used to have talents not much inferior to Liu Nanyan's, but unfair heavens caused him to suffer a mishap where all his cultivation was lost. And now there was the cancelled engagement on top of that. How could he take such a blow?

So initially Xiao Yun had not agreed to Liu Nanyan's request, saying he would make a decision only after Xiao Zhan returned from his experiential training outside.

He was useless as a father, making his son bear these burdens. So in his opinion, agreeing to cancel the engagement was fine, but he had to personally obtain his son's consent.

This way.

He could preserve some dignity for his son who had suffered such twists of fate.

It was the only thing he could do as a father.

What he hadn't expected was that today, Liu Nanyan had inexplicably set up this banquet and even invited the other families of Tianxing City as guests.

Xiao Yun felt something was amiss.

He had an inkling that this matter.

Was aimed at his Xiao Family.

After all, Tianling Sect and Liu Ruyan had no need to invite these people at all.

"Alright, stop drinking now."

Liu Ruyan looked at the toasting crowd, a flash of impatience in her eyes as she drank in a low voice.

At her words.

The previously boisterous crowd instantly fell silent, sitting back down timidly. An atmosphere of tranquility filled the premises.

Liu Ruyan exchanged a look with the elderly man beside her.

The elderly man nodded, turning his gaze onto Xiao Yun.

"Xiao Family head, have you considered the matter of the holy maiden and your son cancelling their engagement?" The elder asked.

Xiao Yun's brows furrowed, the veins on his forehead throbbing violently. The cup in his hand exploded with a boom.

As expected.

They were targeting his Xiao Family after all.

"What?"

"Cancelling the engagement?"

Seeing this, the other powers of Tianxing City immediately shot strange looks at Xiao Yun, revealing schadenfreude.

Hmph.

Having your engagement cancelled, let's see what face your Xiao Family still has left in Tianxing City.

We originally didn't dare make a move on you guys because of your ties with the Liu Family. So you were just an abandoned existence of the Liu Family after all.

Sneers sounded among the crowd continuously.

Looking at the aggressive glares surrounding him, Xiao Yun's fists creaked from being clenched tightly as rage filled his heart. Still, he forcefully swallowed down the mouthful of blood churning up.

Wasn't he just waiting for Xiao Zhan to come back? He had never said he was unwilling to cancel the engagement.

Yet Liu Ruyan was using other powers to coerce him.

She really was ruthless!

"Father, are you alright?"

At this moment, an anxious youth charged in and quickly supported Xiao Yun. It was Xiao Zhan, who had rushed back from the Heaven and Earth Sect.
