"Shangguan Han, what happened back then was truly my fault. Please, for the sake of our former friendship..." Lü Wutian's face was deathly pale as he spoke.
Now, alone as an early-stage Dao Molding Realm expert, he stood no chance against his opponents and had no choice but to yield.
"Lü Wutian, you still have the gall to speak of our former friendship? The greatest mistake of my life was misjudging you, a villain devoid of conscience. Die!"
Lü Wutian would have been better off not mentioning their past bond. Doing so only pricked Shangguan Han's deepest wound, unleashing his towering fury. He immediately lunged forward for the kill.
The moment Shangguan Han recalled how he had once admired and promoted Lü Wutian, only to be betrayed by him and nearly killed, he could no longer contain the rage that filled his heart.
Boom! Rumble...
Shangguan Han and Lü Wutian erupted into intense combat.
All the pent-up grievances Shangguan Han had suffered over the years exploded forth at this moment. Every move, every stance, was almost a life-and-death fighting style.
On the other hand, Lü Wutian's fighting prowess had always been slightly weaker than Shangguan Han's to begin with. Now, trapped and surrounded by so many Dao Molding Realm experts, his momentum had already weakened. This made him even less of a match for Shangguan Han.
After a fierce battle, Shangguan Han grasped his giant axe and cleaved Lü Wutian into pieces.
"Hahaha... My great vengeance is finally avenged!" Shangguan Han laughed heartily in satisfaction.
"A major disaster! The Rakshasa Lord died here, and Lü Wutian also perished here! The events that transpired today will shake the entire Canghuang Realm to its core!"
The bystanders who witnessed this scene were all utterly shocked.
With Lü Wutian's death, the great battle that had erupted in Su City finally came to an end!
"Qingluo, I came late. I've let you suffer."
Ye Yunfei's figure blurred as he appeared before Su Qingluo, taking her hand.
"I'm fine. You were far too reckless. Knowing so many powerful experts had gathered in Su City today, you still came here."
When Ye Yunfei had first appeared, Su Qingluo had indeed been extremely worried, fearing something would happen to him. Thankfully, Ye Yunfei later revealed astonishing battle prowess and turned the tide in his favor.
"These so-called experts are nothing. I don't hold them in my regard at all. Besides, for your sake, no matter how dangerous a place might be, I would brave it without hesitation."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Many people are watching."
Su Qingluo blushed, her voice low. Being the center of attention like this made her a little uncomfortable.
"Boss, you were simply god-like! You were cutting down those Dao Molding Realm experts one slash at a time. It was so satisfying to watch!"
Wu Heishan walked over and said to Ye Yunfei.
Xiao Hui, Yuan Dayong, and Dugu Huan also approached.
"Are you all alright?" Ye Yunfei asked with a smile.
"We're fine. Ye Yunfei, your fighting power is too exaggerated. You can actually kill Dao Molding Realm experts."
Xiao Hui looked at Ye Yunfei, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
"I thought all my hard cultivation these past years had closed the gap between us a little. I never expected you would become this strong."
Xiao Hui sighed.
"That's right, I feel the same way."
Dugu Huan also nodded. He could now contend with Dao Entry Realm experts, but compared to Ye Yunfei, he amounted to nothing.
"Of course my Boss, Wu Heishan's boss, is extraordinary! Did you guys really think you could compare with Boss? Not a chance!"
Wu Heishan shamelessly piled on the flattery.
"Keep working hard. Perhaps one day, you'll catch up to me."
Ye Yunfei laughed.
"By the way, any news of Long Yingying or Wen Zi?" Ye Yunfei asked.
Long Yingying and Wen Zi had long since left the Qingyun Palace headquarters to gain experience and make their way in the world. Ye Yunfei hadn't heard any news of them.
"We have no news of them for now." Wu Heishan and the others all shook their heads.
"It seems we need to send people to look for them. The current turbulent situation is not suitable for them to be roaming outside."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said. His main worry was that Long Yingying and Wen Zi might be implicated because of him.
Because many factions within the Canghuang Realm now had their eyes on the Canghuang Origin. For the sake of the Origin, those major powers were capable of doing anything.
If their relationship with Ye Yunfei became known, they would undoubtedly be hunted!
"Alright, Qingluo, let's go."
Ye Yunfei said to Su Qingluo.
"Alright."
Su Qingluo nodded. After what had transpired, she held no fondness for the Su Clan.
If Ye Yunfei hadn't arrived to save her in time, she would likely have been forced to marry Qin An. If she had truly been forced to marry Qin An, Su Qingluo would have only made one choice: suicide!
"Qingluo, where are you going?"
At this moment, Su Qingluo's father, Su Tianzhe, and her mother, Zhong Xin, walked over. Zhong Xin asked the question.
"Father, Mother, I do not wish to remain in the Su Clan. I am leaving with Ye Yunfei."
Su Qingluo said.
"This..."
Su Tianzhe and Zhong Xin were momentarily at a loss for words. Seeing how things had developed, they knew it was already impossible to stop her.
Since both Qin An and the Rakshasa Lord were dead, the marriage alliance between the Su Clan and Rakshasa Palace was naturally impossible.
"Alright then.
Qingluo, take care of yourself."
After a moment's hesitation, Zhong Xin finally spoke.
"Mother, rest assured, I will take care of myself."
Su Qingluo nodded.
"Qingluo, do you hate us?" Zhong Xin suddenly asked.
"No, I don't."
Su Qingluo hesitated briefly before replying.
"That's good.
Qingluo, within a great clan like the Su Clan, many things are often beyond our control.
Your father and I, our marriage was also arranged by the clan back then. While the sons and daughters of our great clans may seem glorious, we lack freedom in many matters.
However, Qingluo, you have finally found your freedom now. Mother is very happy for you.
You've met a good man."
Zhong Xin said.
"Mother, I don't blame you."
Hearing Zhong Xin's words, Su Qingluo finally couldn't hold back. She threw herself into her mother's arms, beginning to sob.
"It's good that you don't blame us. We hope you will often return to the Su Clan to visit your father and me."
Zhong Xin said.
"Don't worry, Qingluo can come visit you often. The Canghuang Realm isn't that large. She can return anytime."
Ye Yunfei said. He naturally harbored no resentment towards Su Qingluo's parents.
After all, many parents always want to forcefully make what they consider the best choice for their children.
While such actions often fail to consider the children's feelings, the fundamental starting point is usually for the child's own good.
"Ye Yunfei, you are exceptional. Entrusting Qingluo to you sets our minds at ease."
At this moment, Su Tianzhe suddenly spoke, addressing Ye Yunfei directly.
At such a young age, he could already kill Dao Molding Realm experts. Such strength was unquestionably the most formidable among the younger generation of the Canghuang Realm.
Having such a son-in-law, who would ever refuse?
"Ye Yunfei, we hope you will also often return to the Su Clan with Qingluo to visit."
Zhong Xin said.
"Mother, we will!"
Su Qingluo hastily replied. She understood: her parents had finally accepted Ye Yunfei!
