101: Chapter 101 Annulled Engagement! Jiang Yi: You Came and Now You Want to Leave! [Bonus Chapter! Thank you Yun Ge for the author's certification]

As the words "breaking the engagement" fell, the air froze.

Three hundred and sixty Dragon Transformation Realm guards knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

Though their cultivation wasn't high, they had eyes—their Young Miss was standing there in her wedding dress, yet this man's first words upon arriving were to break the engagement.

This wasn't just seeking death; this was worrying that death wouldn't come fast enough.

In truth, Lu Chen didn't want to break the engagement, nor was he willing to, but Revered Master's orders were hard to disobey, so he had to try.

But he knew Jiang Yi wouldn't give up, and he would shoulder his own debts. Moreover, he wanted to prove to his Revered Master that it was now too late for him to escape!

Among the Jiang Family's seven Supreme Elders, Jiang Boyong, standing on the far left, was the first to explode.

This old fellow, who had lived for eighty thousand years, had a snow-white beard and wrinkles on his face that could crush a fly. At this moment, his cloudy old eyes were wide open.

"Presumptuous!"

"My Jiang Family has stood for a million years; when has anyone ever dared to come to our door to break an engagement!"

Beside him, Jiang Yuan was more direct. His Second Level Quasi-Emperor aura exploded, and the Void Realm shattered into spiderweb-like cracks.

"What do you take my Jiang Family for!"

Jiang Yang stood at the very front, his Sixth Level Quasi-Emperor cultivation running at full power as Law fluctuations condensed around him.

"Lu Chen, you'd better give me an explanation."

Lu Chen stood in place, his Phoenix Eyes scanning the surroundings.

Seven Supremes, four Quasi-Emperors, and two Great Emperor Peak powerhouses.

All of them were glaring at him.

[Good grief, this lineup is even scarier than being called out and criticized by the boss at my previous life's annual meeting.]

He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

A voice drifted down from the highest point.

It was very light, very soft, and carried a hint of a smile that made one's back go cold.

"All of you, step back. Let me handle my own stage!"

Everyone's gaze simultaneously shifted to the highest point in the Void Realm.

Jiang Yi stood there.

A bright red wedding dress, a Dark Gold Phoenix Crown, with tassels hanging by her temples.

She was smiling—not with anger, nor sadness, nor grievance.

The curve of her lips was slight, but the light in those Phoenix Eyes made Lu Chen's scalp go numb instantly.

He had seen this look before.

The last time he saw it was when Nangong Waner locked him up for several days and nights.

But Jiang Yi's smile was ten times more dangerous than Nangong Waner's.

Because Nangong Waner was crazy, while Jiang Yi was steady—steadily crazy.

Jiang Yi took a step, her red dress trailing through the Void Realm. With every step, a Purple-Gold Lotus condensed beneath her feet.

She walked past Jiang Taixu and Ji Rushuang, past Jiang Yang, and past the seven Supreme Elders.

Everyone automatically made way; no one dared to stop her.

Jiang Yi walked up to Lu Chen and stopped.

There were three zhang between them.

She tilted her head, the tassels on her phoenix crown swaying twice, and her red lips parted slightly.

"Breaking the engagement?"

Her voice was very light and pleasant, like a spring breeze brushing over a lake.

"Have you misunderstood something?"

She took another step forward, closing the distance to two zhang.

"Once you've entered the gates of my Jiang Family and arrived on my Jiang Family's territory, you are mine."

Lu Chen took half a step back, his tone still relatively calm.

"I haven't entered yet."

Jiang Yi's smile widened.

"Then that's perfect."

She extended her right hand, her slender fingers beckoning Lu Chen.

"If you want to break the engagement, then we'll just have to capture you and bring you in."

Her Phoenix Eyes narrowed, and her voice dropped several octaves.

"Don't resist."

"The more you resist, the more excited I get."

[See, the script really is wrong.]

[According to the normal engagement-breaking process, she should be angrily tearing up the marriage contract and shouting 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a youth for being poor.']

[Then I would turn away elegantly, leaving behind a cool silhouette.]

[What's the situation now? Not only is the bride not angry, she wants to kidnap me?]

[This isn't breaking an engagement; this is delivering a sheep to a tiger's mouth!]

Jiang Taixu moved.

Above the entire Jiang Family, twelve Emperor-grade Formations rose simultaneously.

Purple-gold Dharma patterns covered the vault of heaven, layer upon layer, extending from the mountain gate to the very edge of the horizon.

Every Formation was engraved with the Jiang Family's Ancient Dragon Patterns. Imperial Dao auras intertwined, sealing off the space for a hundred thousand miles around so tightly that not even a breeze could pass.

The Void Realm solidified, Laws froze, and even spatial cracks were welded shut.

Lu Chen's Divine Sense probed outward, hit the Formation barriers, and was bounced back.

Twelve layers of Emperor-grade Formations, each personally set by a Great Emperor. Stacked together, even a Great Emperor Peak would have to spend a significant amount of effort to force their way through.

Ji Rushuang's voice came from above, cold and devoid of emotion.

"Kid, did you really think that with Ling Yuling backing you, you could do whatever you wanted?"

Dressed in silver-white imperial gauze, her Phoenix Eyes looked down at Lu Chen from on high, an Imperial Shield phantom floating before her.

"We won't lift a finger to harm you today, but don't even dream of taking a single step out of here."

Lu Chen felt it; the sealing power of the twelve Emperor-grade Formations far exceeded expectations. It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; they had been set up long ago.

These people never intended to let him leave from the start.

If he came to "break the engagement," they were prepared for a "bridegroom kidnapping"; if he didn't come to "break the engagement," they were prepared for a "wedding."

A rustling sound came from behind him.

Ye Qingxian shrunk behind Lu Chen, her whole body curled into a ball, her twin tails drooping.

The Imperial Might of two Great Emperor Peaks, the Law fluctuations of four Quasi-Emperors, the auras of seven Supremes, and the pressure of twelve Emperor-grade Formations.

As a little girl in the Middle Stage of the Xiantai Realm, standing here was like being an ant in the eye of a storm.

"Revered Master." She tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve.

"Just what kind of heinous things did you do to her?"

Lu Chen didn't answer.

Because Jiang Yi moved again.

The taixu sword was unsheathed.

The purple-gold blade was transparent throughout, and the Ancient Dragon Patterns on the spine came to life, their dragon roars shaking the Void Realm.

The pressure of the imperial weapon of the utmost path was overwhelming, causing even the twelve Emperor-grade Formations to resonate.

As the purple-gold Sword Qi flashed by, the last trace of spatial fluctuation behind Lu Chen was completely severed.

In front was Jiang Yi, above were Jiang Taixu and Ji Rushuang, and all around were the twelve Emperor-grade Formations.

There was no way to retreat.

Jiang Yi sheathed her sword and turned back, the smile in her Phoenix Eyes deepening.

"Since you're here, let's go straight to the bridal chamber."

She tilted her head toward the direction of the Jiang Family's main peak behind her.

"I've already prepared the venue."

Lu Chen's double pupils rotated deep within his eyes, the Broken Illusion Divine Eye stacked upon them as his Great Emperor Peak aura began to climb.

Great Emperor power poured into his palms, and Lu Chen pushed both hands outward.

Imperial Dao Laws transformed into a golden torrent, crashing against the first layer of the twelve Emperor-grade Formations.

Boom!

The first layer of the Formation shook violently, and cracks appeared in the purple-gold Dharma patterns.

The second layer of the Formation automatically filled the position, and the cracks were instantly repaired.

The first layer shattered, the second layer cracked, and the third layer filled in.

He broke through three layers in succession, but the fourth layer remained unmoved.

Because three new auras had appeared.

Deep within the Jiang Family's main peak, three imperial weapons of the utmost path awakened simultaneously.

An ancient sword, a bronze mirror, and a small tripod.

The Imperial Might of the three imperial weapons of the utmost path stacked upon the twelve Formations, causing the Formation's strength to multiply several times over.

Lu Chen's offensive was forcibly blocked.

It wasn't that he couldn't break it, but the speed of his breaking couldn't keep up with the speed of the repairs.

Three imperial weapons of the utmost path plus twelve Emperor-grade Formations, further bolstered by two Great Emperor Peak powerhouses.

With this setup, even if Lu Chen went all out, it would take three days and nights to break the Formation.

And three days and nights were enough for Jiang Yi to set up the bridal chamber a hundred times over.

Lu Chen withdrew his hands and tucked them into his sleeves.

He looked at the smiling Jiang Yi before him, the expressionless Jiang Taixu and Ji Rushuang above, and the airtight Emperor-grade Formations surrounding him.

He was silent for three breaths.

"Just kidding."

"I'm not breaking it, I don't want to break it, but my Revered Master wanted me to, so I had to put on an act to fulfill my Revered Master's orders!"

"Revered Master's orders are hard to disobey, but now I'm also acting against my will!"

"Whatever methods you have, feel free to use them on me. I'll endure it and try my best not to make a sound!"

He glanced up at the phantom of a fourth imperial weapon that was still emerging in the sky.

"Stop! I didn't mean that kind of method! If that thing hits me, I'm afraid it'll hurt quite a bit!"

Jiang Yi tilted her head, the tassels on her phoenix crown swaying, and the smile in her Phoenix Eyes finally carried a hint of satisfaction.

"Just bear with it and it'll be fine! I bore with it back then too! It'll feel better later!"
