Chapter 65: I’m not pleased about ending my engagement

"Brother Wu, why are you so strong?"

Yue Zifeng stuttered, his voice trembling along with his nervousness.

"Who told you to call me brother? I already clearly said I never had any impression about your engagement. Yet, here you stand before my doorstep with your daughter, planning to insult me, and even brought someone here to force the Xian family!"

"Just because I saved the lives of your entire clan, you think it's a good idea to retaliate by trying to wipe out my family?" Xian Wu challenged, his voice cutting.

"No, Brother Wu, please let me explain. We didn't intend to use them as a threat against you. They insisted on coming, and the Feiyun Sect forced us into this divorce! We had no choice!"

Yue Zifeng begged desperately.

He knew he was facing no longer the Xian Wu he was familiar with. Now, the man had become too powerful, killing anyone at half-step Body integration Realm in one swoop. One misstep, and he might be killed.

"Haha! Frankly, I never agreed with the engagement to begin with. Your daughter isn't worthy of my son. Had I remembered the promise you made, I might have even initiated the cancellation myself!"

"But ultimately, it's up to my son to decide. This matter is personal to him!"

Xian Wu then called for Xian Yue, who was fishing, to weigh in.

"What? End the engagement? I didn't even know I was engaged!" Xian Yue replied, perplexed.

"That was a long time ago!" Xian Wu went through the history.

"So, I'm meant to handle this dreadful engagement?" Xian Yue felt speechless. Who would believe that his betrothal would be dissolved by a God Emperor of such magnificence?

"Xian Yue, is that correct? Things have really gotten out of hand, and Uncle Wu has left everything in your hands. Let me just understand a few things: never again can we be together. No matter how powerful Uncle Wu is, there's a humongous chasm between the two worlds that we exist in."

"I not only have a unique body but also an incredibly strong King's body. My future is destined to reach great heights, soaring through the nine heavens. You, however, have limited potential. We are simply not from the same world, so I urge you to take care of yourself!"

Yue Linger claimed to Xian Yue.

Although she saw nothing amiss in the appearance and even a little pleased by it, as a cultivator, she preferred to look at potential rather than faces. To her, Xian Yue, with his mortal body, seemed destined for mediocrity and should not even reach the Soul formation Realm.

For her, the Soul formation Realm was just a starting point!

But as she was done, Xian Feng and the other elders could not help but laugh.

Such a potent clan head limited in potential? Was it not ridiculous that he would not equal her in the future?

This ignorant girl has the audacity to utter such words!

Unperturbed by their mockery, Yue Ling'er frowned in growing discomfort. Had Xian Wu not been there, she might have demonstrated to them what it was to fear the mighty.

"Your argument makes some sense, I suppose. For I am but a human after all, and I have no affinity for you; far removed, they are. If you so foolishly decide to call off this engagement, I will not be pleased!"

"All right, let's settle this on our own, as two cultivators. If I come out on top, then you be willing to call off the engagement. If I lose, then it's up to you. How's that? Are you afraid to take my challenge?" Yue Linger suggested, looking into Xian Yue's eyes. So long as Xian Wu did not make a peep, she dared to face anyone else.

"Think you can challenge me? Do you even have the right to? I'm still the patriarch of the Xian family!"

"Ah, here's a suggestion: tell me where your family and the Feiyun Sect are, and I'll agree to cancel this engagement without causing you any trouble!"

Xian Yue smiled at her, an unsettling calmness on his face.

"Are you being serious?"

"Absolutely!"

Xian Yue nodded affirmatively.

"Uncle Wu, did you hear him? This was his decision, and he can't change his mind afterward!"

Yue Linger looked at Xian Wu.

"Absolutely. Xian Yue is our clan's patriarch. His decisions represent the will of our entire clan!"

Xian Wu retorted with a smile on his face.

Yue Zifeng furrowed his brows in question. Why was Xian Yue called the patriarch and not the strong Xian Wu?

Yue Ling'er still seemed dazed: "What do you want from my family and the Feiyun Sect?"

Her mind was flooded with a sense of abject dread.

"No need to be like this, just curious about the backgrounds of someone who dares to be so bold in front of my Xian family!

With that, Yue Ling'er pointed towards their family and sect. Xian Yue nodded then pressed his fingers into the void, causing the expressions of Yue Ling'er and the others to shift to confusion.

"Is this man's sanity in question?"

All three thought at the same time.

"Okay, you can go. Consider our relation as if it never happened. I won't trouble you again, and I would advise that you don't come to me again either. Otherwise, the next time, I will not restrain myself! "

Xian Yue spoke in a detached manner.

She remained stunned to complete silence. They were just letting them go? What was this?

Yue Ling'er turned and cast a haughty look at Xian Yue before saying, "A man should not hide behind his elders. Even if not endowed with much potential, he should step out and seek opportunities. Who knows what good fortune might come your way?"

She said this enough to mean: Xian Yue was too dependent on his father. Had the elder taken his back, the Xian family would already have experienced utmost punishment for their current conduct.

"Haha, you need not care about my affairs. I am really impatient to see how high you can climb in the Nine Heavens!"

Xian Yue sneered.

Only after the trio left the Xian family did Zhou Ce gradually regain himself and snarl, "How dare the Xian family think they could kill our elder?"

"Once I get back to the Feiyun Sect, I'll request my father and others send over strong warriors to burn this entire Xian family to ashes!"

He was happily ignorant about the fact that their Feiyun Sect was left in tatters!

Yue Zifeng looked at him, wanting to give a cheeky retort, "You want to send your father to his death?"

While his father was sect master, he was only one step into the Body integration. Just what could he do against such a formidable enemies? He would just fall dead within seconds before them!

"It seems that Xian Wu has encountered much opportunities over the years. When I last saw him, he had just entered the Golden Core. Never did I think that he would rise to such heights!"

Yue Zifeng let out a deep sigh, summing up all the changes.
