Since Zhang Linchuan had chosen to come to the state of Yue for his final tribulation, he was naturally not without understanding of the territory. Indeed, regarding all his choices during this period, he had made full preparations long beforehand.

To successfully complete the Nine Tribulations Law, how many times had he not meticulously studied the states of Wei, Song, Dan, Chu, and Yue, and simulated countless possibilities in his mind? Only he himself knew the effort consumed in this endeavor.

For instance, he understood perfectly that the seemingly unpromising youth before him was likely surnamed Ge, named Fei. He even knew the origin of the name “Ge Fei.” He also knew that the Ge family’s sole True Person had perished in the Calamity Water many years ago while searching for the “When Beast.”

This time, in choosing the state of Yue for his tribulation, he had still decided to start with the aristocratic families and renowned clans. Such families and clans were the pillars of a state; once they underwent change, they could more easily stir up great waves, making it more convenient for him to fish in troubled waters. Moreover, like the Zhang family of the state of Dan, they held more state secrets, which might offer him more options.

Between the Ge family and the Bai family, he had, of course, also made a choice.

Ultimately, considering that the Ge family excelled in insect control techniques, a skill he did not fully comprehend, he feared being marked inadvertently, which would affect his subsequent escape. Thus, he chose to start only with the Bai family, striving to keep the degree of danger within a relatively stable range and making the entire tribulation process more controllable.

Therefore, he was also very surprised that this Ge Fei dared to appear before him in such a manner.

A young person who had only recently achieved Divine Arrival, simply jumped out so directly. Did he think he was Jiang Wang? Had he slain a few Divine Arrival cultivators? Or perhaps, did the current Heavenly Will favor such reckless individuals?

“Hmm?” Zhang Linchuan emitted this query through his nasal cavity.

He was temporarily unsure how this Ge Fei had discovered him and how he had quietly approached this place. As a disciple of a great clan with ancient insect control techniques, some special means were not surprising. However, he had not been interrupted at the crucial moment of slaying Bai Pingfu. This indicated that Ge Fei had either just arrived or had other intentions.

He appreciated people with intentions.

“Originally, I wanted to sit and watch you kill them all…” Ge Fei said with a hint of trouble. “But in that case, I would definitely be scolded.” He shrugged his shoulders. “You killing this one is about enough. After all, people always have oversights, and it’s excusable that I couldn’t attend to him.”

This person possessed an inexplicable naturalness, utterly different from those sanctimonious individuals, leaving Zhang Linchuan feeling both strange and familiar. Strange, because he did not match the intelligence he had gathered; familiar, because of that identical, utterly inhuman “coldness.”

Hungry, then eat; annoyed, then kill; tired, then sleep. Wild beasts possessed no human thought, only the most primitive instincts, and they followed those instincts. This wild beast before him seemed to have just begun to don human clothes. However, Zhang Linchuan had already clearly discerned the scant information within his words: “You knew I would come?”

“Yes,” Ge Fei lowered his voice, saying strangely, “Someone reminded me.”

Zhang Linchuan thoughtfully considered, “The Manor of the Duke of Huai in Great Chu?”

With his wisdom, he naturally understood the cause and effect. At this critical juncture of carving up the state of Dan like a fattened pig, besides Jiang Wang, who else would undertake such a thankless task, study him so seriously, and harbor such hatred towards him? And besides that one with a close relationship to Jiang Wang, the Manor of the Duke of Huai, whose hand could reach so far, and who would so covertly assist Jiang Wang in spreading the news?

The state of Dan had grandly sought him, and he had thought it was a follow-up to the “Ren Dan” matter. Now, perhaps not. At that time, he should have focused on checking the memories of Zhang Jing, Zhang Xun…

He mused that perhaps the states of Dan, Song, Zhuang, and even places like the Southern Dipper Hall and the Sword Pavilion had all received Jiang Wang’s reminder. Every target he might choose was likely a hidden trap.

In other words, his purpose had actually been guessed. If he still chose to proceed step by step to complete the Nine Tribulations Law, the result would certainly be death. This Junior Brother Jiang had truly given him many surprises…

“Seems so,” Ge Fei said indifferently to Zhang Linchuan’s question.

Zhang Linchuan smiled calmly. “That one named Zuo Guangshu has already grown up. He should pay the price for his choices.”

“That is your matter.” Ge Wang seemed to have grown impatient with the conversation. He stepped out from the corner of the study and walked directly towards Zhang Linchuan. “As for now… it is my matter.” His killing intent at this moment was utterly unconcealed.

Zhang Linchuan had originally thought he might want to chat or discuss something, but now he saw that this was not the case at all. Truly a very strange person!

Calmly gazing at Ge Fei, Zhang Linchuan also made no attempt to conceal his indifference. His feet shifted, and he retreated backward. The book in his hand, the bookshelf before him, and the surrounding space suddenly became like shimmering water, with wave-like ripples. He had already stepped out of the present world and entered the gap between the present world and the netherworld!

Divine ability, Qian Kun Suo!

This divine ability was known as “Penetrating Yin and Yang, Connecting Life and Death.” Shuttling between the netherworld and the present world was merely ordinary for it.

Because of the existence of the White Bone Venerable God, he dared not go to the netherworld itself, but he cleverly applied it in his own No-Life world, relying on it to penetrate the divine path world and the present world, granting believers false divine abilities. The so-called divine abilities of those Earth Fiend Envoys were all granted by this divine lord, which is to say, they were external manifestations of the No-Life world. Although fundamentally fake, they lacked the effects of true divine abilities.

However, the ease of acquisition and considerable combat power enhancement greatly accelerated the expansion of the sect and inflated the overall strength of the No-Life Teach.

It could be said that this Qian Kun Suo had been developed by him to its limit, a secret among secrets, not easily revealed. Only previously, in the layout of Late Mulberry Town in the state of Wei, he had used the Qian Kun Suo in conjunction with other means to lead a residual soul.

At this moment, seeing Ge Fei’s tendency to act, he immediately used the Qian Kun Suo to escape, completely disregarding the exposure of his divine ability information, much like a startled bird. Of course, this didn’t mean he was truly afraid of something.

Although this Ge Fei from the state of Yue had exceeded his expectations, he was not enough to instill fear in him. He dared to scheme against the White Bone Venerable God; what did a mere Divine Arrival cultivator count for?

However, at the crucial juncture of crossing a life-and-death tribulation, he needed to avoid “unexpected” events as much as possible. This was, after all, the state of Yue, and the state of Yue still possessed two True Persons. An “unexpected” event occurring in this state held the complete possibility of capsizing him.

Therefore, he decided to temporarily ignore Ge Fei’s rashness and leave this place with the safest method, taking the first step.

If he waited until the state of Yue activated its national protection great array, even with the Qian Kun Suo, he would be unable to escape by detaching from the present world. At that time, the barrier of the present world would be replaced by the prison of the national protection great array. Furthermore, if he escaped into the world gap and the state of Yue immediately activated its national protection great array, he would be nailed within the vicinity of the state of Yue, waiting to be discovered and captured. This was also why, during the tribulation in the state of Wei, he had escaped beyond the state’s border before using the Qian Kun Suo.

Today was different.

He had only killed Bai Pingfu, and moreover, he had done so under Ge Fei’s gaze. He did not want to cause a disturbance, and the other party also seemed disinclined to do so. He had to suspect that this was related to the internal power struggle in the state of Yue.

To escape the lock of the hidden prime minister behind Ge Fei, the world gap was a natural barrier, and the Qian Kun Suo was the best choice.

Leaving aside the influence of the netherworld deities, the netherworld itself was not truly dangerous for Divine Arrival level cultivators. Those who cultivated the divine path were even more like fish in water here. It was merely that the world rules were somewhat different and required time to adapt.

Of course, through the efforts of countless sages, the present world was the safest place, where even ordinary people could safely survive and multiply for generations. The world gap between the present world and the netherworld, however, was extremely dangerous. Ordinary Divine Arrival cultivators with golden bodies and jade marrow would find it difficult to guarantee their survival by physically walking within it. This was not only because there was no supply of Heaven and Earth vital energy, nor only due to the “Bone Scraping Wind” wandering in the world gap or some strange and unpredictable evil beasts. “Morning Cangwu” says: Dao calls it “Quality Non,” Buddha calls it “Resentful Thoughts,” Law calls it “Great Evil,” all are dangers of the world crevice. That bone-falling sound of the corner tune, the “Bone Scraping Wind,” is also a type of “Resentful Thoughts Trap,” among many.

Most dangerous were the ubiquitous world shadows. Sometimes, they would just casually roll over and carry away all tangible and intangible substances, without a single ripple.

Those truly capable of long-term existence in the world gap were some special small worlds that relied on the existence of the present world and had independent rules. They themselves possessed powerful world energy and different resources, capable of completely resisting external invasion… also known as “Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.” While some blocks of the present world or netherworld lost in the world gap would ultimately dissolve over a long time, after their own carried world rules completely collapsed, their substances would also return to nothingness.

Of course, some accidents, like the Bone Scraping Wind, like world shadows, if carelessly encountered, would also accelerate this dissolution time. Thus, dragging blocks of the present world or netherworld into the world gap was usually the most vicious means, itself also a damage to the present world or netherworld, causing the will of that world to produce hostility. It was not used without deep hatred. Zhang Linchuan choosing to escape into the world gap was naturally to most efficiently shake off entanglement.

Since there were preparations in the state of Yue, he would pay the price of exposing some information and leave far away. The present world was vast, there was no need to cling to a crooked neck tree. Moreover, he was not someone who would get angry before the Great Dao; emotions would never influence his decisions. But once again, he was met with the unexpected…

Shuttling in the lightless, soundless world gap, that person called Ge Zao actually chased in as well! The world barrier had been quietly penetrated. His Confucian robe fluttered, rolling the wind and coming. In this extremely dangerous world gap, Zhang Linchuan saw Ge Zao approaching with terrifying speed! Too confident! Had he acquired the secret cultivation of Evening Drum Academy, or had he received Gao Zheng’s true transmission? Or was Gao Zheng just following closely behind?

Fighting in the world gap was not Zhang Linchuan’s wish, because it was impossible to know what strange things would be alarmed. Therefore, he only gave Ge Su a calm glance and instantly accelerated, like a flash of lightning, swimming through this empty environment. There was no need for a meaningless fight, no need to increase meaningless risks. But Ge Hui’s voice quickly chased up again: “You just left like that, what do I take to report to Teacher?”

Zhang Linchuan re-evaluated this person’s strength. He began to madly turn in the world gap, constantly accelerating, accelerating, accelerating. Although his personal experience entering the world gap was very limited, with the Qian Kun Suo, he was extremely free here. His observation of the world gap had never stopped. This was one of his retreat routes, and he naturally valued it immensely.

In the world gap, full of “Resentful Thoughts Traps,” such terrifying speed was almost seeking death. If he had not made years of preparations, it would have been impossible to take such a risk. But Ge Zao actually also chased up without weakness, making it impossible for him to shake him off. Was the Ge family inheritance so strong?

Or was Gao Zheng indeed, as rumored, deeply hidden, not an ordinary straightforward person?

For a time, the two could not see each other, only two rainbow lines chasing and fleeing. Time was vaguely hard to count.

In the high-speed flight, he suddenly faced a vague shadow hanging down. Zhang Linchuan pretended not to know, adjusted his own position, and naturally blocked Ge Zao’s vision.

Until near, he seized the opportunity, lifted his step, turned, and his body became like water creating ripples. The divine ability Qian Kun Suo activated, and he suddenly wore back to the present world. This step was too natural; the world shadow just became his trap. Sometimes, carefully designed traps are not necessarily as good as this casual one. Once the opportune time and geographical advantage combined, it instantly became a killing situation. Not to mention Ge Fei, even if Gao Zheng fell into this world shadow, he would be digested on the spot. The place he reappeared was an unknown valley.

In the east of the state of Yue, of course, still far from the state of Liang. But there was no time for Zhang Linchuan to examine his gains and re-plan his route. The space in front of him was like a door that had been gently pushed open, and the strange Ge Fei had already walked out! Even someone as always composed as Zhang Linchuan couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise.

“Very surprised? What kind of secret place is the world gap? You seem to think only you are familiar with it.” There was a strange smile on Lu Fei’s face: “You fundamentally do not know where I came out from, and how I came out.”

“Sounds like I underestimated you.” Zhang Linchuan chuckled twice, stabilizing his steps. “So, where did you come from, to be so confident?” In the end, what he dreaded was the possible high-level politics behind Lu Dang. However, after the chase within the world gap, even a completely real contemporary True Person would be unable to capture his traces and should have been shaken off long ago.

As for those below the Cave True realm, who was he afraid of?

“I, of course, came out of Lu Shi, but this is not important.” Lu Zhuo said with a smile: “What is important is… you provoked me! I am a disciple of Lu Shi, a national heaven’s pride. How can I tolerate you, this demon person, doing evil rampantly?” He was still, as before in Bai Pingfu’s study, actively stepping towards Zhang Linchuan, actively breaking the dangerous distance. And Zhang Linchuan this time…

“Lu Fei, is it Lu Zhuo? Have you ever thought about why I left, not because I dreaded you?” Zhang Linchuan realized that this Lu Zhuo was completely different from what he had perceived, hence the divine power of rebirth was not easily applicable, and the opening of the most stable evil seed was very difficult to succeed. But this was also nothing. At this time, he was already outside the state of Yue; it was nothing but a quick battle and decision, nothing but a frontal fight. He had been escaping for too long; the people of the world seemed to think that he, the ancestor of the Wusheng Cult, would only flee…

As his voice fell, the originally blue sky and white day suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder. On Zhang Linchuan’s body, there was a flickering, almost imperceptible dark electric light.

And the dazzling, scorching white thunderlight opposite him had already split the sky into countless cracks, completely covering this nameless mountain valley continent with his violent power. An ordinary Divine Arrival realm cultivator could fundamentally not have this manifestation.

But in that roaring mad wind, under that wildly dancing sky electric snake, Lu Fei also laughed.

“Zhang Linchuan, I’ll tentatively call you that… Have you ever thought about why I let you leave, let you escape to here?”

“It was just that I didn’t want people to discover that when you killed Bai Pingfu, I was on the scene!” His pair of eyes immediately turned one black and one white.

Suddenly, this piece of heaven and earth, intent like a candle in the wind, became dim and uncertain!

The vast, fertile river valley plain had long since become a wasteland, not a blade of grass. The fresh blood of the heaven’s pride, Zhang Xun, sprinkled here, also failed to nurture even a single blade of grass. The cruelty of the world was precisely like this.

To the north of the river valley plain, its state name was “Dan,” once also considered a vast great state. Now, the holder of the Xingren Palace, Gongsun Buhai, publicly tried this state’s high officials. Kings, dukes, and generals all became prisoners. The powers of the vassal states also all attended, sitting civilized and polite, quietly waiting to divide the spoils.

To the south of the river valley plain, its state name was “Qiao.” It was so close to the state of Dan and had quite an intimate relationship. The royal families of the two states had intermarried many times in history.

How many alliances of mutual prosperity, mutual aid, and watchfulness had been signed were unknown… now, they could only peacefully watch all of this. Most people knew that the states of Dan and Qiao were bystanders in the river valley war. What people did not know too well was that the states of Dan and Qiao were both survivors of the river valley war. Or perhaps, they were traitors…

That year, including the states of Dan and Qiao, the various states of the river valley had secretly planned for many years, wanting to form an alliance similar to the Northwest Five States Alliance, in order to seek a share of autonomy and freedom in the sandwich of the two great powers, Qin and Chu. The plan had already proceeded to the most critical moment.

As long as the state of Jing nodded in support, they could, like the Northwest Five States Alliance, be a thorn that made both Qin and Chu ache…

Over time, the river valley plain was so fertile, so heaven-blessed; it was not unreasonable for the river valley to not become a strong state! The shocking river valley war, however, erupted suddenly at the critical moment. It was said that a rift had arisen between Qin and Chu, and they desired to compete for supremacy, with the battlefield chosen in the river valley. The Liangyang Empire, always willing to uphold justice, maintained silence throughout. Without the support of the state of Jing, facing the military fronts of Qin and Chu, which of the states of Dan and Qiao dared to speak?

They directly cast the secretly signed alliance to the back of their minds, turning a deaf ear to the many small states of the river valley seeking aid. They even tightly locked their borders, not daring to let a single person from the various states of the river valley enter. This was because before Qin and Chu had chosen the river valley plain as their battlefield, they had already completed a division here through diplomatic means. The two strong states each occupied the west and east of the plain. The states of Dan and Qiao themselves were insecure from dawn to dusk; how dared they take the private property of Qin and Chu?

The final result was then recorded in history. People commonly saw a grand national war between Qin and Chu, which directly reduced the entire river valley plain to barren ground. From then on, the various states of the river valley all perished. In the days that followed, there was still contact between the states of Dan and Qiao. The royal families of the two states even had a marriage last year, considered the mutual warmth between the weaker parties. But now, to divide the state of Dan like food, which one was between the states of Qin and Chu? What kind of own son-in-law, former emperor’s blood relative, did the state of Qiao still care about?

They could only repeat their old trick, lock their gates and play dead. In the various states of the world, there was not a sound.

Actually, the state of Qiao was not considered too weak; after all, it once also had a contemporary True Person sitting in town, otherwise it would not have dared to secretly communicate with the state of Dan and ambitiously lead the establishment of the river valley alliance together. Of course, if the monarch and ministers of the state of Qiao had known early on that the True Monarch of the state of Dan, titled ‘Red Emperor,’ had fundamentally died in the outer heavens many years ago, they would not have dared to agree to any alliance even if they were beaten to death.

And by the time the river valley war began, the contemporary True Person of the state of Qiao had unfortunately fallen in Yu Yuan. The state of Qiao thus lost its voice. As for the current strength of the state of Qiao, only second to the state lord Shenlin, titled “Hundred Flowers Lady,” Min Youwei, she was already over two hundred and thirty years old this year. It could be said that she had witnessed too much in her life. From being a genius girl who had just emerged from the thatched cottage, later growing into a high-spirited strong person, a beautiful lady famous far and wide, to now, her appearance was still the same, but a kind of unshakable decay had been born within her soul.

This decay was hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, sprinkled on her skin and bones, corrupting in her life. She had long worried about state affairs, and had always been trapped in cultivation stagnation, knowing in her heart that she was old. Now, sitting and watching the state of Dan collapse in the wind and rain, she worried endlessly in the Hundred Flowers Building where she cultivated alone, completely unable to see the scenery far away, and also unclear about the future of her homeland. The state of Qiao was now struggling to support itself. The monarch and ministers of the state of Qiao had racked their brains and made efforts for so many years… what meaning did it have?

It was still a nest of overlord beasts, still a place where people were exploited by those above. A state was not enough to be called a state, and it could not withstand the wind and rain from outside. To say such a state of Qiao, compared to the Wusheng Cult that was destroyed overnight, how much stronger was it?

The Emperor was a vain monarch, and she was also vainly called “protecting the state.” Having lived for so many years, she saw the things of the world clearly. People were precisely because they were sober that they were in pain.

For example, she was very clear that the matter of the river valley plain in the early days was originally due to the independent demands of the various states of the river valley, and the demand of the state of Jing to drive a knife into the southwest of the present world. The two sides immediately hit it off. Of course, looking at it now, within the original river valley alliance, the state of Dan had a plan to borrow the momentum of the allied states to rush out a Yandao True Monarch. With this, they could cover up the death of their True Monarch ancestor Yan Renxian, considered a step in seeking survival amidst danger.

The Yuan Shi Dan Meeting held eleven years ago was grand. The state of Dan falsely used the name of Yan Renxian, playing a trick of transmitting a pill from beyond the world, deceiving many people and thoroughly breaking the so-called “rumor” that Yan Renxian had already died. Thinking about it now, the people of the state of Dan simply achieved their Dao with a “buzz,” deceiving the people of the world in circles. They deceived the various states of the river valley, including their state of Qiao, into having intentions. They deceived the support of the state of Jing, and also the vigilance of Qin and Chu. The regret was that they were unable to withstand this vigilance.

The so-called river valley war, from the beginning, was actually because Qin and Chu had detected the alliance matter among the various states of the river valley, hence they decided to join hands to cut off the claws of the state of Jing and open a feast to divide the river valley plain.

But the response of the state of Jing was very decisive. Upon seeing that the matter was not going to succeed, they immediately withdrew completely from the southwest of the present world. With actual action, they stated that they would not exert influence here at all, and moreover, it was a good chess move to retreat. As the overlords of the western and southern borders, the two great powers Qin and Chu originally had more demands on the southwest of the present world.

After the state of Jing’s complete withdrawal, the two great strong states were both unsatisfied with their original divided portions, and thus used a true great war to determine the situation between them and clarify the final harvest.

Both sides gradually raised the stakes and finally fought extremely fiercely. What is called the great trend of the world is just a division of bigger interests. The former states of the river valley, today’s state of Dan, what difference is there? If Yan Renxian were here, the “Human Dan” matter, the death of a True Person is acceptable, and with proper operation, a Shenlin is enough to take responsibility. If Yan Renxian is not here, the entire state of Dan also has no reason to exist. At least, it has no reason to control so many interests.

Cruel is… on this huge chessboard of the present world, the state of Qiao, from beginning to end, was just divided for interests, and forever lost the qualification to hold a knife and divide interests.

Min Youning sighed softly in her heart. With the growth of years, she only knew how ridiculous the ambition of youth was. With the growth of years, she only knew how precious the ambition of youth was…

“Min Fu Jun, Min Fu Jun! Something big is not good!” Suddenly, a shouting voice, accompanied by urgent footsteps, caught up to the building. Min Youning cut off her sight of distant worries and turned her head. “Now, the state of Qiao, what else can be a big matter…” Her words were not finished, because she already saw the fresh blood on the body of this guard of the mansion.

“How?” She rose and asked. That guard slumped to the ground on one knee, enduring the pain, and urgently said: “Yang Chongzu went mad! He just directly killed his way into the mansion, killing anyone he saw, and has already captured Miss!”

“What! Captured and taken where?” The guard said: “He said he’s taking her back to the Yang family to marry!”

Bang! Min Youyu directly flew out of the window, heading straight towards the Yang mansion. The current Min family had only one Miss.

That was her direct granddaughter, Min Yan’e. In her life, she had raised four husbands, but she herself was stingy with childbirth, giving birth to only one son when she was over a hundred years old.

Her son in turn only had one daughter, whom she had always held in her palm and treasured. She had heard that Yang Chongzu, the son of the state’s vice prime minister, and her own granddaughter, Min Yan’e, were childhood sweethearts. The two children had a very deep affection and were originally considered a good match. But for some reason, in the past year, Yan’e had suddenly lost all feeling for that Yang Chongzu, insisting that she would not marry him, saying that this person had changed and could no longer move her heart.

Although she did not see where Yang Chongzu had changed, if her own granddaughter said she would not marry, then she would not marry. As the direct granddaughter of Min Youwei, she naturally had the qualification for her own freedom.

A girl did not necessarily have to marry; she could cultivate herself and reach the high heavens. Her future was broad; there was no need to mind temporary lingering. Moreover, even if she had to consider marriage, with Yan’e’s character, appearance, and talent, in this state of Qiao, would she still worry about finding a good husband? Yang Chongzu, even with the posture of a middle person, scattered and then scattered. Yet, how could she have thought that this Yang Chongzu would actually eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard and dare to force a capture?

How had the Yang family fellow actually raised their son? Old Youning immediately became vigilant again. She did not feel that Yang Chongzu himself had such strength that he could forcefully rush into the Min mansion. She was even more unconvinced that there was no support from that old Yang fellow behind this. Linking it to the matter of the state of Dan, she could not help but suspect that there was some plot involved. Under the support of which external force had there been a coup?

On one side, she transmitted a message to her close confidant and subordinate, telling her to quickly notify the state lord through a secret channel.

On the other side, carrying a belly full of anger and suspicion, she flew horizontally through the long sky, through streets and across markets, directly crashing outside the Yang family’s door.

With one palm, she blasted open the tightly closed great door of the Yang mansion: “Young one of the Yang family, come out and receive death!”

Originally, she had come to denounce them, but upon seeing the wide-open middle door, the vice prime minister’s mansion adorned with lanterns and colors, Min Youwei was momentarily stunned. Such a large Yang family, everywhere piled with red. It was just that some of the red was joyous red silk and red flowers, while some of the red… was deep red blood!

There were many people in the courtyard at that moment, approximately gathered for a lively wedding. It was just a pity that all these people had fallen to the ground, and fresh blood had accumulated into a pool of water.

In the center, surrounded by countless corpses, the son of the current dynasty’s vice prime minister, Yang Chongzu, wore a body of bright red groom’s clothes, his hat adorned with palace flowers, his smile brilliant, and he was sitting upright on a large chair. He seemed to be waiting for her. At this moment, his posture was imitating that of a monarch. Those peripheral corpses vaguely seemed like steps to a palace.

“Where is Yan’e?” Min Youwei looked at this young person, her voice like ice.

Yang Chongzu looked back at her without fear, and suddenly smiled neurotically. “My three hires and six rites were thorough and polite. Yet, you all actually sent me back.”

“I was childhood sweethearts with Yan’e, with mutual affection. To the end, she actually became heartless and changed her mind.”

“I am so talented, with a prominent family. I have talent and appearance.”

“Truly wanting to marry her, she unexpectedly insisted on not being willing.” “If she wasn’t willing, then so be it, but my father and mother also unexpectedly disagreed. I brought the bride back, and they all quarreled and argued, saying they wanted me to kneel and send the person back… What do you say this is?”

“They are delaying my life’s happiness!” Yang Chongzu said here with great anger, then helplessly spread his hands. “No way, I could only kill them all.”

Min Youshou at this time only noticed that lying at the front of Yang Chongzu’s boots was not the current vice minister and his wife. They were lying not far behind him, on the threshold of the main hall.

She strongly suppressed her killing intent and looked at Yang Chongzu. Yang Chongzu was still that Yang Chongzu, still that pair of youthful, proper facial features.

But Yang Chongzu was no longer that Yang Chongzu. That gaze, even she felt it was too cruel!

“I ask you, where is Yan E?” Min Youshou gritted her teeth and asked again.

Yang Chongzu looked very surprised. “Didn’t I just make it clear? Dead, dead. Rest assured, she died after the marriage. She is a ghost of my Yang family… Right.”

He stood up, right in the pile of corpses, and very politely made an inviting gesture. “I am now lacking a bride. You are still somewhat beautiful, can you replace her for a bit?”
