98: A risky move

No one expected the great battle between the Tribulation Realm Experts in the Thunder Dragon Mountain Range to last for several months.

The battle took place on Immortal Severing Mountain.

The destructive power was so immense that after the battle, the entire Immortal Severing Mountain was obliterated, a large mountain collapsing into a huge pit.

It was fortunate that Long Aotian had already dug up the small, top-grade Spirit Vein underground and plundered all the Heaven And Earth Treasure from Immortal Severing Mountain; otherwise, there's no telling what state those three would have left it in.

Or perhaps, they might have fought even more desperately over the small, top-grade Spirit Vein and Immortal Severing Mountain, that Advanced Spirit Medicine garden?

Immortal Severing Mountain had already been destroyed once by Long Aotian, so even if he knew it was destroyed again, he wouldn't feel regret.

It's just that the Immortal Severing Mountain behind Long Village was gone, replaced by a huge pit, which might accumulate water when it rains and turn into a lake.

Although the three of them engaged in a prolonged, world-shaking battle, they still had some conscience and didn't destroy Long Village; otherwise, Long Aotian might have truly held them accountable.

That was the ancestral land of their Long Family, so even if Long Aotian didn't seek retribution, other members of the Long Family, once they grew stronger, would not let them off the hook.

And now, they had merely replaced the mountain behind Long Village with a lake.

Long Village thus lost its backing.

They themselves were the backing.

After so many years of leaving Long Village, it was time for them to become their own backing... The protracted battle, which lasted for months, shook the entire Eastern Continent, and ultimately concluded with Wu Xin's narrow defeat under the strong intervention of the Royal Family.

The Royal Family did not dispatch more Tribulation Transcendence Realm Experts, but the Royal Family and the Cloud Palace, one controlling the political power of the Eastern Continent and the other the sectarian power, two major powers that had coexisted peacefully for hundreds of thousands of years, how could they not have a relationship?

Three months after the great battle, Emperor Ye requested assistance from the Cloud Palace, and the Cloud Palace, without much hesitation, sent two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Middle Stage Experts to the Thunder Dragon Mountain Range.

In fact, with the Royal Family's Tribulation Transcendence Realm Experts already mobilized and the Cloud Palace's still unmobilized, the Cloud Palace was looking for a suitable excuse to showcase their Tribulation Transcendence Realm Experts to maintain their status as one of the two major powers of the Eastern Continent. The Royal Family's request was like a pillow delivered to a sleepy person, so they naturally agreed with pleasure.

Four Tribulation Transcendence Realm Middle Stage Experts ganging up on one Tribulation Transcendence Realm Middle Stage Expert, it was difficult for Wu Xin not to lose.

However, it was clear that Wu Xin, having suffered a humiliating defeat, was not convinced.

Wasn't it just relying on numbers?

Just wait!

She would remember this grudge!

When the Experts of their Nine Heavens Immortal Palace came to pick them up again, she would definitely make these shameless scoundrels pay.

Wu Xin finally bowed her proud head and revealed her true identity. Only then did the Royal Family and the Cloud Palace realize that the mysterious Expert of the Feng Family was not a Feng Family Expert, but an Expert from the Western Continent, a Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

Immediately, Li Er and Ren San of the Royal Family frowned. What was the situation with the Western Continent's giant Cultivation powers? First, a Guiyi Sect suddenly invaded the Eastern Continent, and now another Nine Heavens Immortal Palace? This was too coincidental, wasn't it?

Was there something else they didn't know?

Under interrogation, Wu Xin had no choice but to confess.

Feng Zixian of the Feng Family in Feng Town, Thunder Dragon Royal City, was the Saintess of their Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

At this, the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Experts of the two major powers of the Eastern Continent were shocked.

Feng Zixian?

Isn't she the fiancée of that Prodigy who has recently become famous in the Eastern Continent?

She's actually the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?

These young husband and wife are on their way to the Nine Heavens.

Upon learning that Wu Xin was a Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and that Experts from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would descend upon the Eastern Continent in a few years to take the Feng Family members to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, Li Er and Ren San immediately didn't dare to make things difficult for Wu Xin.

Even now, they had to apologize to Wu Xin.

Are you kidding? They were four grown men ganging up on a woman. Even they felt ashamed to talk about it. If Wu Xin wasn't thinking about getting revenge when the Experts of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace arrived, or gathering a group of Experts to come back and settle the score after returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, that would be truly strange.

To dispel Wu Xin's desire for revenge, the four took turns accompanying Wu Xin for months, drinking tea and discussing Dao. Wu Xin eventually became so annoyed that she threatened to battle them for another three months, at which point they finally left sheepishly.

"Hmph, trying to get close? No way!"

How could Wu Xin not understand the true intentions of these guys who were pestering her? They were just trying to leave the Eastern Continent, this cage of trapped beasts, and hitch a ride with her.

How could she agree?

"Is that Long Aotian still in the Royal City?"

After battling Li Er and Ren San for several months, and then being harassed by the Royal Family and Cloud Palace Experts for several more months while recovering, almost a year had passed in the blink of an eye. She, who had originally intended to go to the Royal City to kill someone, suddenly felt a surge of annoyance. These guys wanted to hitch a ride with her?

Absolutely impossible!

"...Still here!"

Feng Keqiang answered honestly.

Seeing Wu Xin's exasperated expression, he didn't want to provoke her. Anyway, she could do whatever she wanted; he believed his son-in-law wouldn't be easily killed by her.

During this time, he had confirmed repeatedly that his son-in-law, for unknown reasons related to a Martial Skill, had indeed reached the Peak speed of a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Late Stage Expert. If it came to speed, Wu Xin definitely couldn't outrun his son-in-law.

As for whether Feng Keqiang was setting up his son-in-law?

How could that be?

He was showing off his son-in-law!

Of course, perhaps his way of showing off his son-in-law was different from others, and even not well understood.

He actually had only one goal: to first conquer Wu Xin, then conquer the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and finally make those stubborn old women of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace agree to the childhood engagement between his daughter and Long Aotian.

He didn't know if all those stubborn old women of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would be like Wu Xin, believing that men only hindered their cultivation speed, but if he could even conquer Wu Xin, this violent, stubborn old woman, wouldn't conquering the other stubborn old women of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace be much simpler?

"Hmph, it's good that he's still there!"

Wu Xin looked at Feng Keqiang and said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Voluntarily break off the engagement for the Saintess, and I can spare that kid's life!"

...

Feng Keqiang paused slightly.

From this perspective, Wu Xin still had some conscience and wasn't so cold-blooded as to truly kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, how could he possibly break off his daughter's engagement?

Letting Wu Xin kill his son-in-law was a risky move in his plan to show off his son-in-law!

If this risky move succeeded, then it might be possible to conquer the high-ranking members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and ultimately get them to agree to this childhood engagement.

If it failed, it wasn't him who would die, was it?

He could only apologize to Brother Bubai and let him have another child with Hua Buwan... He was also very helpless. After his daughter became the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, her marriage could no longer be entirely decided by him.

Why?

In the Martial Arts World, strength is respected.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had hard fists; they wouldn't let his daughter marry, and they even wanted to kill his son-in-law. What could he do?

He could do nothing at all!

Feng Keqiang shook his head: "I said before, breaking off the engagement is impossible, it's impossible in this lifetime. My daughter must marry Long Aotian, and can only marry Long Aotian.

Of course, if Senior goes and kills him, I have no objection..."

"You are truly a contradictory person. Hmph, since you want your son-in-law to die, then I will grant your wish..."
