480 This Marriage Is Over
"Uncle Tiangang, what do you think?"
Helplessly, Feng Wenyue could only turn to the old man beside him.
The old man's name was Feng Tiangang. He raised his eyelids slightly and stroked his beard with his hand as he spoke slowly, "It's not difficult to resolve this matter. You just need to ask about what happened."
"That's reasonable." Feng Wenyue nodded his head in agreement. He then walked over to Bei Xuantian and asked him about what had transpired.
!!
After asking Bei Xuantian, Feng Wenyue turned to Su Changhe to hear his side of the story.
After a while, Feng Wenyue frowned.
There was a huge discrepancy between their stories.
However, Feng Wenyue felt that Su Changhe's words were more trustworthy and realistic. After all, Bei Xuantian's story was somewhat vague. He only said that he had unintentionally offended Su Changhe and had not gone into the details.
In contrast, Su Changhe described the entire incident in detail, saying that Bei Xuantian had arrogantly asked him to kneel for simply observing them.
Su Changhe was not a citizen of the Haihan divine empire, so why was there a need to kneel before Bei Xuantian?
His words worsened Feng Wenyue's impression of Bei Xuantian.
This guy was indeed arrogant. If Xiyun married him, would she really be happy?
There had never been any familial love within the royal family. Only benefits mattered. This much was clear to him. Still, he did not approve of the marriage alliance regardless.
However, he was not the decision-maker in the Yangli divine empire; his father was. Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.
In fact, the reason why Feng Xiyun had been able to escape the royal palace was thanks to his help. He did not want his sister to be used as a tool of the royal family, and had hoped that Feng Xiyun would have the freedom to choose herself.
After understanding what had happened, Feng Wenyue became even more dissatisfied with the marriage alliance with the Haihan divine empire, and especially with Bei Xuantian. Xiyun would definitely not be happy if she married him.
Thinking this, his expression hardened, and he took a few steps back, no longer intending to interfere.
"Crown Prince Wenyue, what do you mean by this?"
Bei Xuantian's expression changed when he saw Feng Wenyue's expression.
"Your Highness, Prince Mo Yan, after examining the course of events, it appears that this is a personal grudge between the two of you. As such, it should be resolved by your side."
"Citizens of the Yangli divine empire have always been reasonable. However, if you can't work it out, you can also fight him."
"After all, this is a world where only strength matters."
Feng Wenyue laughed, then took a few steps back to avoid being accidentally caught in the crossfire.
"Hmph! Since the Crown Prince has said so, Su family brat, if you have the guts, come and challenge me!"
Bei Xuantian glared at Su Changhe arrogantly.
However, Su Changhe was not an idiot. He was obviously no match for the other party. Only a fool would accept that invitation!
"Tsk! Do you really think I am afraid of you? Come up here and hit me if you dare!"
"If you're not a coward, then come over and hit me!"
Bei Xuantian clenched his fists in anger. His facial expression was twisted, and he really wanted to cut this b*stard into pieces.
At the side, Bei Moyan could not help but shoot a meaningful look at Feng Wenyue, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, we're here to form a marriage alliance on behalf of the Haihan divine empire!"
"Is this how you treat your guests? In my opinion… The marriage alliance between our two empires is of utmost importance…"
Feng Wenyue shrugged his shoulders indifferently, his face the picture of calmness.
The marriage alliance was only a temporary measure. If the two empires really wanted to go to war, even a marriage alliance would not stop it.
"Father instructed me to welcome you graciously, but he never said that I should clean up your mess."
"I am the Crown Prince of the Yangli divine empire, and not someone's minion!"
"Since this is a personal grudge, you should settle it yourself. If you can't even settle this tiny thing, how can I be at ease in betrothing Xiyun to the Haihan divine empire?"
"You…" Bei Xuantian's face turned red with anger, and he almost exploded right there and then.
Was Feng Wenyue not questioning the power of the Haihan divine empire with those words?
Bei Moyan's expression turned cold as well, and he flung his sleeves furiously.
"It seems that Your Highness does not intend to interfere in this matter."
"Very good! So this is how the Yangli divine empire treats their guests. I've finally seen your true colors!"
Hearing this, Feng Wenyue's expression changed.
As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. He was immediately forced into a passive position.
The atmosphere turned awkward again.
At this moment, a bright light flashed by. The white figure on the peak of the mountain flew through the sky and landed in front of Su Changhe.
When everyone saw this, they looked up in shock, especially Bei Moyan, who was most afraid of Ye Xuan.
Had it not been for Ye Xuan's presence, he would have killed Su Changhe long ago.
"Senior!"
Su Changhe was relieved to see Ye Xuan and quickly hid behind him.
To be honest, he was really on the verge of panicking just now. He was afraid that Bei Moyan would fly into a rage out of humiliation and slap him to death. Fortunately, the big boss appeared in time. The feeling of having a powerful backer was amazing.
Ye Xuan raised his brows slightly and slowly walked to Bei Xuantian's side. However, just a slight glance scared Bei Xuantian so much that his body trembled, and his forehead broke out in cold sweat.
"You are… the second prince of the Haihan divine empire?"
Bei Xuantian's lips trembled as he spoke, "Senior, I am indeed the second prince of the Haihan divine empire. What can I do for you?"
...
Ye Xuan had not thought that he would be able to meet the marriage partner of his precious disciple during this trip to Qingyang City.
However, Ye Xuan was very disappointed.
"I don't need anything. However, about your marriage alliance… drop it and forget about it," Ye Xuan said lightly.
The spiritual power in his body spread out quietly, transforming into a net of destructive sword qi that enveloped the two of them. His invisible and terrifying spiritual pressure spread out, causing their hearts to palpitate and their bodies to tremble.
This was the terrifying spiritual pressure of a peak-level mystic lord realm expert!
481 Lucky Sister
"What does Senior mean by that?"
Hearing this, Bei Moyan's face turned ashen.
This was a marriage alliance between two empires. What did it have to do with Ye Xuan?
Ye Xuan glanced at the latter indifferently.
!!
"The person your second prince is trying to marry is my disciple, and I don't agree to this marriage! Do you have any objections?"
"What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
Even Feng Wenyue was stunned. This powerful expert was actually her sister's teacher?
Bei Xuantian's expression turned extremely ugly, and so did Bei Moyan's.
Bei Xuantian glared at Feng Wenyue angrily.
Since Feng Xiyun had already successfully acknowledged a master and become a disciple of a top holy land, why did the Yangli divine empire not inform him in advance?
Now, as the representatives of the Haihan divine empire, they had come to the territory of the Yangli divine empire with great fanfare in order to secure the marriage alliance between the two empires. However, it turned out that the marriage partner had already become the disciple of a top holy land. Were they toying with him?
A top holy land was far stronger than both their empires combined. Who the f*ck would dare to go up and try to snatch the bride?
Hearing this, although Feng Wenyue was very surprised, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up into a smile.
"This sister of mine is quite smart… She's found herself a powerful backer!"
From Ye Xuan's tone just now, he could tell that Ye Xuan treasured Feng Xiyun very much. Otherwise, he would not have bothered dealing with the matter regarding her marriage.
Ever since he found out that there was to be a marriage alliance between the two empires, he had been extremely worried. After he had secretly allowed Feng Xiyun to escape, he had often sent people to inquire about how she was faring.
Things were still fine until a while ago. He had constantly received updates on where she was and how she was doing.
However, for some unknown reason, his subordinates failed to locate her a month ago, which made him extremely worried.
Now knowing that she had become Ye Xuan's disciple, he was relieved.
Ye Xuan looked at Bei Xuantian indifferently and said, "If you have nothing else to say, then it will be decided as such. The marriage is off!"
"Of course… You can also try to snatch her. I will welcome you at any time!"
"How may I address you, Sir?" Bei Moyan thought for a moment and asked.
Ye Xuan turned around and said without looking back, "I'm Ye Xuan, the chief of the Great Wilderness Divine sect's Cloud Sky peak!"
"What? He's actually a chief from the Great Wilderness Divine sect…"
Feng Wenyue's expression turned serious when he heard this.
Bei Moyan's eyes flashed with realization.
"This person… This person is actually a chief of the Great Wilderness Divine sect…"
"And he's a peak-level mystic lord realm expert…"
Bei Xuantian was dumbfounded.
"Uncle Moyan, is the Great Wilderness Divine sect very powerful? Why are you so afraid?"
He lived in the royal palace all year round, so he was not very familiar with the outside world.
Hearing this, Bei Moyan took a deep breath and explained, "That's right! The Great Wilderness Divine sect is extremely terrifying. It has been in existence since ancient times and doesn't belong to any divine empire."
"A thousand years ago, the Great Wilderness Divine sect had an invincible expert, who was the last chief of Cloud Sky peak, Tian Xuan."
"Chief Tian Xuan's strength was unrivaled. He forced back the invasion of ancient beast descendants with pure strength. His attainments in the Sword Dao had reached a shocking level!"
"Much like this current period, the heaven devouring divine sparrow wreaked havoc back then. However, it was Chief Tian Xuan that defeated it and banished it to the archaic divine mountains."
When he thought of Chief Tian Xuan, Bei Moyan revealed an expression of respect and admiration.
Back then, Chief Tian Xuan could be said to have led the human race to defeat the other races with his invincible sword.
He had thought that the Great Wilderness Divine sect's strength would decline after the death of the Chief Tian Xuan. However, it seemed that the new chief of Cloud Sky peak had reached the peak of the mystic lord realm.
What shocked Bei Moyan the most was that Ye Xuan's aura was unstable, which was a tell-tale sign that he was about to reach the supreme realm..
When he thought of this, Bei Moyan's heart was filled with disbelief.
Was the Great Wilderness Divine sect really so lucky? Was there going to be a second supreme realm expert after Chief Tian Xuan?
After hearing Bei Moyan's reply, Bei Xuantian's face was filled with despair.
He knew in his heart that when Ye Xuan said those words, the marriage had truly been called off.
In the face of such a terrifying expert, even his father would not dare to show any disrespect, let alone him.
Even if the Haihan divine empire had many top holy lands backing them up, they would never offend the Great Wilderness Divine sect over such a small matter.
In the mystic world, strength reigned supreme.
"Uncle Feng, have you ever heard of this person?"
At this moment, Feng Wenyue whispered the question to Feng Tiangang. freewebnoveℓ.com
"En!" Feng Tiangang nodded with a serious expression on his face.
"I've indeed heard of him. Chief Ye Xuan of Cloud Sky peak is the most famous expert in recent times. He almost killed three elders from the Immortal Divine sect in Qingyang City!"
"It's a blessing that your sister managed to become his disciple."
"Perhaps we can even use the princess's relationship to pull the relationship between the empire and the Great Wilderness Divine sect closer. In comparison, the marriage alliance with the Haihan divine empire is insignificant."
When Feng Wenyue heard this, he was surprised. His sister had pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this move.
...
"Mm, got it. I will definitely discuss this with Father when I return."
"Father has always been able to accurately judge the situation. He will definitely make the right choice."
Bei Xuantian and Bei Moyan were a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Moyan, what should we do?" Bei Xuantian was at a loss.
If Bei Mo Yan had not offset part of Ye Xuan's spiritual pressure, he would have knelt down long ago.
482 Another Princess?
They had come here with such fanfare, but had to leave in a sorry state, which would definitely make them a laughingstock in the Haihan divine empire.
Furthermore, as the second prince of the Haihai divine empire, Bei Xuantian's status was extremely volatile. If the marriage alliance was ruined, the consequences would be…
Bei Moyan looked at Ye Xuan deeply, and then sighed helplessly.
"Xuantian.. We only have one choice left!"
!!
"What is it?" Bei Xuantian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as if he had found a way out.
"Give up on Princess Feng Xiyun and choose another princess to marry."
"This…"
Bei Xuantian's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He had already looked through all the portraits of the princesses of the Yangli divine empire. The one he was most satisfied with was Feng Xiyun.
He had thought that he would be able to return with a beautiful wife after coming to the Yangli divine empire, but he had not expected…
His heart was filled with dissatisfaction, but he had no place to vent his frustration.
Bei Xuantian gritted his teeth in anger at the thought of giving up, and his expression darkened.
Seeing this, Bei Moyan patted his shoulder helplessly.
"Xuantian, anyone who wants to achieve great things must first learn to overcome defeat. I know you're unwilling to accept this, but this is our only choice."
"In any case, the empires have not announced the identities of the marriage partners, so as long as you marry a princess, the ministers and court members will not criticize you." freewebnσvel.cøm
Bei Xuantian took a deep breath, and then nodded.
In the face of absolute power, yielding was the only option.
However, the seed of hatred had also been planted in his heart. If he were the crown prince of the Haihan divine empire, would he have had to suffer such humiliation?
Everything… It was all because of power!
He had to obtain absolute power so that he could control everything in the world.
When Bei Moyan saw this, he shook his head in heartache. However, he could do nothing about it.
After all, who would have guessed that Feng Xiyun would end up becoming Ye Xuan's disciple. Princesses were normally not allowed to leave the palace, so having one join a top holy land was unprecedented.
"Alright! This marriage alliance will end here. I will not repeat myself again."
"As for what your two empires plan to do after this, I couldn't care less. However, my disciple is not allowed to become anyone's bargaining chip."
"If you are dissatisfied with this, feel free to look for me at Cloud Sky peak at any time," Ye Xuan said lightly.
At this moment, Ye Xuan walked over to Feng Wenyue. He looked at the crown prince, who exuded an aura of majesty and held the fate of the empire, with satisfaction.
Feng Xiyun had said before that the reason why she was able to leave the palace was mostly because of her brother, the crown prince.
"You've done very well!"
Feng Wenyue's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Feng Wenyue greets Chief Ye Xuan!" Feng Wenyue politely bowed.
"Mm! That girl Xiyun often talks about you. Seeing you in person today…. It seems that you truly have the bearing of a future ruler."
"Chief Ye Xuan, you're too kind! Such praise is unwarranted."
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was even more surprised. He did not expect this guy to be so calm in the face of flattery. It seemed that he had a steady character.
The Yangli divine empire had an outstanding successor.
Ye Xuan did not say anything else and turned to look at Su Changhe.
"Let's go!"
"Alright!" Su Changhe nodded eagerly, and then glared at Bei Xuantian arrogantly before following Ye Xuan.
Seeing the two of them leave, Feng Wenyue smiled.
"As expected of the chief of Cloud Sky peak! Chief Tian Xuan has an excellent successor. I wonder if Chief Ye Xuan can surpass Chief Tian Xuan…"
Although it seemed unlikely, he was still very optimistic about Ye Xuan's chances.
After all, Ye Xuan was so young, and his cultivation talent and potential had not been exhausted. It looked like he would reach the supreme realm at any time.
It might take a thousand years, but there was a chance that Ye Xuan could reach the ancient realm. As for the legendary sealed immortal realm, that was something no one dared to consider.
After all, in the past 10,000 years, although countless outstanding geniuses had appeared within the human race, no one had ever been able to break through and reach the sealed immortal realm.
"Your Highness, perhaps we can use the princess's relationship to get in touch with Cloud Sky peak. If we can forge a good relationship with the Great Wilderness Divine sect, your position in the Yangli divine empire will definitely be more secure," Feng Tiangang suggested.
"Mm, that's reasonable!" Feng Wenyue nodded in agreement.
Although he was now the crown prince of the Yangli divine empire, and his status could be said to be above everyone else, there were many princes in the royal palace. If he could obtain the support of the powerful expert, not only would it stabilize his position as the crown prince, but it would also be of great help to him when he inherited the empire in the future.
'It seems like I'll have to pay a visit to Cloud Sky peak in the future to see how Xiyun is doing.'
Feng Wenyue's gaze then landed on Bei Xuantian.
Now that Ye Xuan and Su Changhe had left, it meant that the conflict had been resolved. In any case, the royal status of people like him and Bei Xuantian were meaningless to the top experts of sects like the Great Wilderness Divine sect.
"Your Highness, since the matter has been resolved, please come with me."
"My father has already prepared a big gift in the palace and is waiting for you both. As for the details of the marriage alliance, when the two of you arrive at the palace, my father will naturally give you an explanation."
Actually, Feng Wenyue was not interested in either of them, but he still had to carry out the mission his father had given him.
As for what would happen after that, it had nothing to do with him.
