111: Provocation? Break it!

Chen Buyu looked up.

He saw a man stepping inside.

"How did you, old fellow, come back?"

Looking at the person before him, although Chen Buyu spoke rudely, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha, the Young Lord is in danger! If I don't come back, am I supposed to watch the Young Lord sink into a crisis step by step?"

"Especially since the Marquis left a final command before his death: I must not let the Young Lord stray from the path!"

"Big Brother left a final command? What is it?"

"Liu Ruyan should be the Young Lord's woman; she must not marry another!"

Chen Buyu was stunned for a moment.

"I admit Liu Ruyan does have some talent, but looking around, there are plenty who are stronger than her. Why obsess over one woman?"

"What do you know! For every step the Marquis took, he saw the patterns a hundred steps ahead. Among them, Liu Ruyan is a rare Girl of Destiny meant to protect the Young Lord."

"If she becomes someone else's wife, wouldn't that make the Young Lord miss out on this Opportunity and also destroy a destined marriage!"

Chen Buyu heard these words.

He suddenly realized.

"No wonder the Emperor would go to such lengths to issue an imperial decree for the marriage! It turns out it was to test my Great Nephew and us!"

"What should we do now?"

Chen Buyu asked nervously.

If it were fighting on a battlefield with iron horses and golden spears,

Chen Buyu would not hesitate at all, but this matter involved romance, and for a moment, he really had no idea what to do.

"Whatever you and I do in this matter would be wrong; we still have to see what the Young Lord does!"

After the man who entered finished speaking, he smiled confidently and said, "I believe the Young Lord has the ability to win over Liu Ruyan, and I also believe he can break through the current crisis!"

Days passed one by one.

Another half month went by.

Until this day!

At the gates of Jubei City, tens of thousands of people had already gathered.

Dozens of dragon boats were even lined up in a row!

"The time to head to the Shanhai Secret Realm has arrived! If we don't set off now, I'm afraid we'll be late!"

"Especially since the opening of the Shanhai Secret Realm this time isn't just for the Prodigies of our North Continent; the Prodigies of the other four continents will also gather together. If we don't head there early, where is the decorum?"

On the dragon boats, countless people were chattering.

However, someone sneered and said, "I heard we have to wait for the Marquis of Jubei! If he doesn't come, we'll have to keep waiting!"

"What?"

The crowd on the dragon boats exploded like a boiling pot.

"That fellow Chen Xian is also participating in the Shanhai Secret Realm? What can a guy at the Qi Refinement Stage do there? It's just embarrassing!"

"I heard he's supposed to hunt a King-rank Demon Beast for the Emperor. Since he's so late, could it be that he's scared?"

"Regardless, if he doesn't show up within three hours, the dragon boats are leaving!"

On the thirty-third floor at the very top of a dragon boat!

Seven people sat around a table.

A cup of tea was placed before each of them.

A man dressed in green robes sighed.

"It's been a month, and Chen Xian is still hiding like a shrinking turtle!"

"Even with the Shanhai Secret Realm about to open, he remains indifferent!"

"The seven of us were ordered to come to Jubei City to provoke him, but now none of us have completed the task. I think it's time to do something big!"

"What big thing?"

The one speaking was none other than Sun Xiu, the heir of the Han King Sun Family among the seven Princes!

Sun Xiu let out a cold laugh.

He looked down from the thirty-third floor.

The entirety of Jubei City was laid out before his eyes.

Sun Xiu pointed at a square-shaped cemetery!

"Look there, whose grave is that?"

"It's Invincible Chen's!"

Tian Wuqi, the heir of the Qi King Tian Family, said with a look of alarm, "You aren't thinking of making a move against that cemetery, are you?"

"Our families instructed us to provoke Chen Xian, but they didn't tell us to target this cemetery!"

Sun Xiu said without hesitation, "Heh, when Invincible Chen was alive, he bullied our families quite a bit!"

"Now that he's dead, are we still supposed to be afraid of him?"

"Could it be that you're afraid of a dead person?"

Sun Xiu looked at the cemetery.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

He took out a Red Seal.

He threw it directly downward.

The Red Seal fell with the wind.

It grew upon meeting the wind!

In an instant, it had become as large as a small mountain.

It descended from the sky, heading straight for the cemetery.

This scene also attracted the attention of everyone in Jubei City.

"What is that?"

"It looks like a mountain falling from the sky!"

"Holy crap, why is it heading straight for the old Marquis of Jubei's estate?"

At the same time.

The old man sweeping the grounds at Invincible Chen's cemetery narrowed his eyes as he looked up at the small mountain falling from above.

He gave a cold snort.

"Fearless and undaunted!"

He was just about to make a move.

At that moment, a streak of Sword Qi suddenly soared into the sky.

It directly split the small mountain in two.

Immediately following that, countless streaks of Sword Qi instantly pulverized the mountain into dust.

Thick smoke billowed in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, the expression on the grave-guarding old man's face was quite spectacular!

Not just him.

The people of Jubei City who saw this scene

also had varied expressions on their faces.

"Who was that just now?"

"To actually destroy that massive mountain with a single sword strike!"

"What a powerful sword technique. Is there such a formidable Sword Cultivator in Jubei City?"

As for Liu Ruyan on the dragon boat, her beautiful eyes sparkled when she saw this Sword Qi.

"It's him!"

"He's back!"

Sure enough.

A person was standing in the air above the cemetery.

This person held a long sword and looked toward the thirty-third floor of the dragon boat to the northwest!

"Although that cheap old man doesn't have much of a connection with me, I have received much kindness from him. How can I allow you to act so insolently!"

The one speaking was none other than

Chen Xian, who had just walked out of the Sword Tomb.

He looked at that dragon boat.

With a wave of his hand, he slashed out with his sword!

A majestic Sword Qi went straight for Sun Xiu on the thirty-third floor of the dragon boat!

Sun Xiu originally had a playful expression.

He just wanted to destroy Invincible Chen's cemetery.

This would count as venting his anger for the years Invincible Chen had suppressed their Sun Family.

In the end, he didn't expect this "accidental" act to not only be neutralized by a single sword strike,

but for the opponent to slash another sword strike back at them!

Tian Wuqi watched the Sword Qi sweeping toward them.

He immediately smiled and said, "Sun Xiu, I must say, your move really worked. With just one hit, he came out!"

Sun Xiu had no time for pleasantries.

He watched the flying Sword Qi.

The expression on his face was solemn.

As a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment,

Sun Xiu was the next-generation leader of the Sun Family cultivated by the Family.

Facing this sword strike, he naturally would not hide, nor could he!

If he hid!

His prestige would be completely gone.

He would also lose face for the Sun Family behind him.

He pressed his palms together.

A golden protective shield blocked the space in front of him.

The moment the Sword Qi slashed onto it,

with a boom!

Even the massive dragon boat actually began to shake incessantly!

Sun Xiu watched the golden protective shield; at this moment, cracks actually began to spread across it inch by inch.

His expression suddenly became extremely unsightly.

Damn it!

This sword strike was actually so powerful.

His protective shield actually couldn't block the offensive of this sword strike for a moment.

At the same time.

Chen Xian stood in mid-air.

Looking at the cracked protective shield on the dragon boat.

"Break for me!"
