Chapter 256 You Picked This Idol?

Blood dripped rhythmically from Yan Chu's palm.

A thick scent of blood permeated the air; every drop that fell onto the ground smashed out a deep pit.

The dripping sound resonated in everyone's hearts.

Two Supreme Grandmasters and several Great Grandmasters had been instantly crushed by Yan Chu into a puddle of mixed blood without any power to resist, as if they had never existed in this world at all.

Not only were the group of Supreme Grandmasters from Northern Mang shocked beyond words and terrified, but even the Great Jin Dynasty guards like Cui Yiting were deeply shaken.

General's Face turned pale, and his lips trembled as he looked at Yan Chu,

"You... you actually dared to kill my Northern Mang warriors..."

Yan Chu spread his hands, acting like a brazen scoundrel,

"You picked it, Idol!"

Boom! Crack!

At this moment, the brief exchange between the two Heaven-level beings in the sky ended. A large mountain dozens of miles away exploded right down the middle, and endless streams of True Qi light streaked across the land, leaving the distant ground riddled with holes.

Swish! Swish!

Luo Jin and the Third High Priest landed in the middle of the crowd one after the other.

The Third High Priest had a black cloak beside him that snapped in the wind, and he looked at Yan Chu with a cold, sinister expression,

"Southern Dynasty person, you killed my Northern Mang warriors. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Yan Chu scoffed and said disdainfully:

"And what can you do about it?"

"You are courting death!"

The Third High Priest took a slight step forward, his icy killing intent locking onto Yan Chu. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Luo Jin frowned slightly, her heart also slightly shocked that Yan Chu had directly crushed several Northern Mang people into blood. Among them, Wugula was the Disciple of Northern Mang General Tuoba Hong.

However, since they were already killed, this was Central Province, and Northern Mang people would not be allowed to run rampant here.

Thus, her Aura was released without reservation, clashing directly with the Third High Priest. Ripples spread through the air, the ground cracked with countless fine fissures, and the demon horses in the caravan neighed uneasily.

The Great Jin Dynasty crowd also recovered from their shock, and Cui Yiting immediately said:

"The majesty of Heaven-level beings cannot be offended. Wugula and the others were courting their own deaths!"

"General, this is the Great Jin Dynasty, not your Northern Mang!"

"So what if it is the Great Jin Dynasty? Do you think our Northern Mang warriors are afraid of you?"

General, although terrified by Yan Chu's methods, was still stubborn.

Just at this moment, the princess, who had remained hidden inside the carriage, spoke softly:

"Third High Priest, General, today's incident was unprovoked."

"If you take action, it will only damage the peace talks between the two nations. It would be better to set this matter aside for now. After we arrive in Northern Mang, I will personally explain it to the Khan."

Upon hearing this, the group of Northern Mang guards looked at their leaders, the Third High Priest and General.

The Third High Priest narrowed his eyes, scrutinized Yan Chu deeply, and nodded:

"The Imperial Concubine is wise and righteous; we shall follow the Imperial Concubine's advice."

"However..."

He spoke to Yan Chu again:

"Southern Dynasty person, this matter will not end here!"

Now that they were in the Central Province of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if they took action, their chances of winning were slim.

But once they entered Northern Mang, the life and death of Yan Chu and the others would no longer be up to them.

Yan Chu didn't even lift his eyelids and cursed indifferently:

"Retard!"

Then, with a flash of movement, he ducked into Princess Yunshu's carriage.

"You—"

General stared blankly as Yan Chu entered the carriage, his anger surging, and his black Face turned purple-red.

The Third High Priest's Face was also livid.

His eyes swept over Cui Yiting and the others without a trace of emotion, and with a cold snort, he vanished from the spot.

Both groups glared at each other with ill intent, then one after another withdrew their confrontational Aura.

Then, under Cui Yiting's orders, the caravan continued on its journey.

However, the atmosphere was significantly colder than when they had just left the capital.

Luo Jin entered Princess Yunshu's carriage and saw Yan Chu leaning against the carriage wall, his body swaying as the carriage moved.

In contrast, Princess Yunshu sat upright opposite him, her shoulders and back straight, her peerless Face slightly lowered.

It looked as if Yan Chu were the true owner of this carriage.

After Luo Jin came in, she said in a low voice:

"You need to be extremely careful after entering Northern Mang!"

"The Third High Priest is a War Priest of the Longevity Cult and one of the driving forces behind Northern Mang's southward invasion. General is also a hardline pro-war faction member. They are only wary of taking action while inside the Great Jin Dynasty; after entering Northern Mang, they will likely provoke trouble again!"

Yan Chu did not respond but looked at the stunningly beautiful Princess Yunshu in front of him and said in an indifferent tone:

"Princess, I do not wish for today's events to happen again!"

His gaze carried an intense sense of oppression. Even though Li Yunshu was a princess, she had to lower her head and say respectfully:

"Great Hero Yan, please forgive me!"

"Yunshu has absolutely no intention of inciting conflict. That Wugula would speak disrespectfully to you was also beyond my expectations."

"Whether you incite conflict or not is none of my concern, and I don't care what you are thinking."

"But if you dare to use me as a weapon again, even if you are a princess, I will crush you to death!"

Yan Chu's expression and tone were calm, but the words he spoke caused the blood to drain from Princess Yunshu's beautiful Face. She realized deeply how terrifying the young man before her was; he would never be swayed by her status or beauty.

Yan Chu continued:

"This time, for the sake of the Empress Dowager, I will let you off once. Do not let it happen again!"

After finishing his words, Yan Chu flashed away and left the carriage again.

Princess Yunshu stared fixedly at the spot where Yan Chu had disappeared, then suddenly smiled. Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and the carriage suddenly became vibrant with spring.

"Aunt Luo, this Great Hero Yan has such a murderous nature!"

Luo Jin's expression froze, and she also smiled meaningfully:

"That is why the Empress Dowager sent him to escort the Princess north!"

...

Inside the Third High Priest's carriage, he waved his hand, and the entire carriage was shielded by vast True Qi.

General was furious and roared with a ferocious expression:

"Kill him! We must kill him!!!"

"And that woman! And those damned Southern Dynasty guards, I want to tear them all to pieces!!!"

The Third High Priest's Face was terrifyingly gloomy, but his tone was somewhat calmer:

"Rest assured!"

"I have secretly sent word to Tuoba Hong and the Helian Clan Chief to meet us in Youzhou. Once we reach Youzhou, we will take immediate action and eliminate these two Heaven-level beings from the Jin Kingdom first!"

"Good!"

General gritted his teeth and said viciously:

"Leave the Blade Demon alive; I want to peel his skin off with my own hands! I will slice his flesh off piece by piece and eat him alive!!"

...

...

The caravan hadn't traveled for long when several figures suddenly flew in from afar.

The newcomers were the Governor of Central Province, Prince Luyang Li Yun, who was the current Emperor's cousin and Princess Yunshu's uncle.

Behind him were several Guest Elders from the Prefectural Governors Mansion.

His princely estate was just a few hundred miles away.

Cui Yiting, who was leading the caravan, hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects:

"Subordinate Cui Yiting pays respects to Prince Luyang!"

Li Yun recognized Cui Yiting; he knew he was the commander of the Imperial Guard and also knew that the caravan before him was Princess Yunshu's wedding procession.

He nodded and said with a kindly attitude:

"Commander Cui, a great battle just took place here. I have brought some people to see what happened."
