Why is Chapter 216 inappropriate?

"Is that so?" Blade Demon Yan Chu grinned. "Then I'll send you to a place!"

Boom!

The sea of clouds churned, and a powerful, overbearing palm strike slammed down.

This palm strike carried immense momentum, as if tearing half the sky apart.

Cloud Dispelling Palm, Tearing Sky and Dispelling Clouds!

"Yan Chu! Don't get cocky!"

"Sooner or later, you too will die by someone else's sword!"

Knowing there was no hope of survival, Qin Hexuan roared and swung his sword.

Clang!

This strike carried all his heart and soul. A massive sword shadow spanned the sky, slashing down toward the Cloud Dispelling Palm.

This was Qin Hexuan's strongest sword strike; he had never unleashed a strike of this caliber since he began studying the sword.

However, the gap in their true strength was too great.

Whether in cultivation or the comprehension of Divine Intent, he and Yan Chu were not on the same level.

Crack!

Yan Chu's palms, like divine iron, tore his sword strike in half, and the mighty palm force slammed into his chest.

Bang!

Venerable Wen Jian, famous throughout Tongzhou Prefecture, died just like that at the hands of Yan Chu.

【Killed a Supreme Grandmaster of the Hidden Sword Palace, settled the grudge, EXP + 50000】

"Your Master and the others are still waiting for you over there. If they wait too long, they might just abandon you and run off!"

After tossing out this cold joke, Yan Chu's gaze was like lightning as he swept his eyes downward.

She Zhijiu, seemingly knowing that escape was hopeless, stood with Zheng Wan and She Manman, looking over with a pale face.

In the distance, Yan Chu's slaying of Awakening to emptiness, followed by the consecutive killings of Eunuch Qiu and Venerable Wen Jian, had caused a massive stir.

"What is Great Hero Yan doing? He's gone on a killing spree!!"

"Don't spout nonsense. Haven't you heard about the feud between the Hidden Sword Palace and Great Hero Yan? This was bound to happen sooner or later!"

"Look! Great Hero Yan is heading toward that man She. He won't be able to escape either!"

A crowd watched Yan Chu with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Everyone had their eyes opened wide today.

Yan Chu was truly as fierce as the rumors said—no, even fiercer than the rumors.

Supreme Grandmasters, rarely seen on ordinary days, were being slaughtered by him one after another like chopping melons and vegetables.

With the strength he had displayed, who could oppose him, provided that no Heaven-Human realm experts appeared?

"Yan Chu... Great Hero Yan, are... are you really going to kill us all?"

She Zhijiu, a powerhouse in the Late Stage of the Ninth Realm, now looked at Yan Chu like a mouse seeing a cat, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Eunuch Qiu, a Peak Supreme Grandmaster, hadn't even lasted three moves in Yan Chu's hands. His strength was truly terrifying.

Although Zheng Wan had said she had a way to make Yan Chu spare his life, he was still terrified, watching Yan Chu as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yan Chu looked at She Zhijiu with a faint, ambiguous smile.

Before him, Zheng Wan and She Manman were also looking nervous, fearing that Yan Chu might get carried away and kill them all too.

The two women were quite different: one was a mature and beautiful woman, wearing a purple palace dress and exuding charm; the other was a dainty young girl in a bright red bridal gown, full of youthful vitality. Standing together, they each had their own merits, like twin flowers blooming on the same stalk.

With a chuckle, Yan Chu said:

"Lord She, if you want to survive, that's possible. What do you think of the proposal I made at the Prefectural Governor's Mansion just now?"

"What? You—"

She Zhijiu's expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Yan Chu, unable to utter a word.

"What? You're not willing?"

Yan Chu's expression immediately darkened. His Killing Intent leaked out, and the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, as if they were in an ice cellar.

"There are so many people who want to acknowledge me as their son-in-law but aren't qualified! I'm giving you a chance, and you're failing to make use of it!"

"I'm willing!"

At this moment, She Manman suddenly raised her hand and looked at Yan Chu with some shyness and timidity.

"I am willing to marry you and be your woman."

"As long as you spare my father's life!"

"Manman, you..."

Looking at his dainty and lovely daughter, She Zhijiu felt both moved and heartbroken. Thinking she was only saying this for his sake, he hardened his heart and roared:

"Yan Chu! If you have the guts, kill me! I will never use my daughter as a bargaining chip for my own life! I will never let her suffer any grievance!"

Boom!

As he spoke, he erupted with his Aura, about to attack Yan Chu.

"I am willing too!"

Suddenly, Zheng Wan also parted her cherry lips and spoke words that left She Zhijiu in disbelief, causing his Aura to dissipate completely.

"Wan'er, what are you saying? Willing to what?"

Zheng Wan sighed and said softly:

"Lord, don't make futile struggles. Even if you attack, what can you do other than die at Yan Chu's hands?"

"After you die, won't Manman need to avenge her father?"

"In that case, won't we have to die too?"

"It would be better to speak plainly. Yan Chu is not some heinous villain; I believe he won't make things difficult for us."

"That's right, Father!"

She Manman also held her father's arm with her small hands and comforted him:

"Aunt Zheng is right. Great Hero Yan and us never had any life-or-death feud, so why make it like this?"

"For Father, for the She family, Daughter does not feel aggrieved."

In her heart, she secretly thought:

"Marrying Yan Chu is better than marrying that useless prince. Father, stop whining here and hurry up and agree."

She had always pretended to be obedient and well-behaved in front of her father and elders, but in reality, she was a scheming woman with a strong sense of contrast.

"Manman, Wan'er, you..."

She Zhijiu looked at his sincere daughter and Zheng Wan, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After a long while, his eyes reddened slightly.

As a Governor, not only was he unable to protect his daughter and the woman he loved, but he even had to let them sacrifice themselves for him and the She family behind him. She Zhijiu felt both aggrieved and helpless.

"But what about the First Prince..."

Although he had already agreed in his heart, he still had some misgivings.

Seeing this, Yan Chu said disdainfully:

"What the hell First Prince, how many divisions does he have?"

"If he has the guts, let him send a Heaven-Human realm expert to deal with me; I'll respect him as a character!"

Upon hearing this, She Zhijiu set his mind at ease.

Thinking about it, that was true.

Although the First Prince's status was noble, he could not mobilize Heaven-Human realm experts at will. Those were the pillar powerhouses of the Great Jin Dynasty; besides the Emperor, perhaps no one could command them at will.

"Fine!"

Having overcome his internal struggle, She Zhijiu gritted his teeth and said:

"Yan Chu, I agree to you!"

"But you must promise not to pursue my previous matters, and if the First Prince pursues it in the future, you must provide protection for my She family!"

"No problem!"

Yan Chu nodded. He was actually quite magnanimous, not as petty as the outside world rumored.

Since they had become his people, he naturally wouldn't hold a grudge anymore and had silently crossed the She family off his little notebook.

"Since that's the case, why not take advantage of today's ceremony and hold our wedding?"

She Manman looked up and suddenly suggested happily.

This suggestion made She Zhijiu frown slightly, and he began to ponder.

If they held the wedding for her and Yan Chu today, and this matter spread across the world, the First Prince would likely become the laughingstock of the world.

The grudge between himself and the Prince would only deepen.

However, this also had its benefits.

By establishing the status with Yan Chu, the Jianghu would know that Blade Demon Yan Chu was his son-in-law, and anyone wanting to offend the Prefectural Governor's Mansion would have to think carefully.

After all, this was an absolute powerhouse on the Earth List.

Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Wan suddenly said urgently:

"It's not appropriate! Today is not appropriate!"

She Manman couldn't help but glance at her sideways with her beautiful eyes, and snorted lightly:

"Why isn't it appropriate?"

She Zhijiu also looked over curiously.
