Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âHuman, why are you leaving? Itâs dangerous in the sea fog when the waves are forming. Even I may not find the right direction,â Ah Zha said as she walked ahead of Jiang Hao in the sea fog.
In fact, it wasnât just Ah Zha. Many people didnât understand. They felt Jiang Hao was a bit delusional. If there were waves coming, it would be safer to stay in place. There were treasures and defenses set up in the area.
Wasnât it better than running around in the sea mist?
Jiang Hao didnât explain to those who questioned him. He wasnât forcing them to leave. On the contrary, he preferred acting alone. Itâs just that he didnât want them to be in danger because he was in charge.
This wave was extraordinary.
The royal family, the Sacred Bandits, the heavenly Note Sect, and powerful individuals from overseas were all involved. After what the Sacred Bandits had been planning for a long time, he didnât believe that the people on the periphery would be safe.
So even if they were punished, it wouldnât matter.
They just didnât know if they would make it in time.
The sea fog seemed to be changing. They needed to leave quickly.
However, it wasnât that easy.
Ah Zha seemed to have lost its way.
âWhatâs going on? Why canât I find the direction? It seems to be getting blurry,â Ah Zha said.
âEven you canât find the way, Senior?â Zheng Shijiu was surprised.
âItâs not that easy,â Ah Zha said.
The others were a bit worried, and some even said it would be better to stay in the stronghold. At least they could try to defend themselves. Now, in the sea fog, they couldnât even see the way. It was like waiting for death to come.
The others could only agree.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He hadnât seen much with the technique from the nameless manual, so he couldnât find the way, especially with so many forks in the road.
In the Imperial City, the moon was bright.
The wedding ceremony had already begun, and Bi Zhu sat in a corner.
She still hadnât seen Shangguan Hengyu, but the first group of people was about to enter the ancestral ground, so he should be coming soon.
âPrincess, do you really want to go into the ancestral ground with the Crown Prince Shangguan?â Auntie Qiao was a bit worried.
âItâs just to take a look. Speaking of which, I havenât been there before, so letâs take a look, â Bi Zhu said with a smile.
âArenât you afraid of getting married for real?â Auntie Qiao asked.
âWhat if they break the engagement on the other side? Given his personality, he could do something like that,â Bi Zhu said without concern.
Auntie Qiao felt that the princess had already thought of a way to make the other person break the engagement. That would mean she would escape the marriage but still would receive the gifts she had asked for. If everything went smoothly, she felt the princess would gain a lot.
But she didnât know if it would cause trouble.
At that moment, a young man walked over to Bi Zhu.
âPrincess Bi Zhu?â he asked with a smile.
âThatâs me.â Bi Zhu nodded. âShangguan Hengyu?
âYes. Are you the one who cried and wanted to go into the ancestral ground with me?â Shangguan Hengyu said disdainfully.
He was dressed in magnificent clothes and had an extraordinary appearance.
âHave I disappointed you? Then, itâs fine. Letâs not go.â Bi Zhu looked at him. âI was just joking.â Shangguan Hengyu snorted coldly and didnât speak again.
After that, they planned to go to their ancestral land.
Before entering, Qiao Yi informed Bi Zhu that the prince was in the Golden
Core Realm and that she should be careful.
âGolden core Realm?â
Bi Zhu smiled. He was not at the Golden Core Realm for real. He was only slightly weaker than her brother. The Shangguan family kept their real cultivation realm hidden.
The ancestral land was deep within the Imperial City. They were led by the guards and walked into the ancestral land.
Here, they could receive the blessing of the land, but what exactly the blessing was, few people could perceive it.
But every royal family member, upon marriage, had to come here once.
They could only enter once.
So, if they didnât intend to marry for real, not many people would visit the place.
After entering the gate of the ancestral land, Shangguan Hengyu seemed to relax. âPrincess, I didnât expect you to be over three hundred years old and still look so young.â
âDo you like older women?â Bi Zhu looked at the person beside her.
âNot really. I was just marveling at how well you are dressed.â Shangguan Hengyu shook his head and walked ahead.
He seemed to have his own purpose for this trip.
Bi Zhu followed behind him and didnât care. She just let him go wherever he wanted.
âMaybe itâs my natural beauty,â said Bi Zhu.
âPrincess, do you think it was right to choose to come to the ancestral land right now?â Shangguan Hengyu looked serious. He didnât look frivolous and flighty like before.
âIt certainly doesnât feel wrong,â Bi Zhu said.
âDo you think you are a bit naive and getting older and less knowledgeable?â Shangguan Hengyu asked while preparing something in an open space. âYou are the same as the rumors made you out to be. Young with little to no experience. â
By now, the formation had been set up, and everything was ready.
The moon was in the sky. The moonlight shone on the formation and activated it.
âThatâs true.â Bi Zhu nodded.
âPrincess, you are as naive as they say. You must be getting older,â Shangguan
Hengyu said and gestured to her. âCan you stand inside?â
âOf course.â Bi Zhu nodded.
She stepped into the formation. She looked unconcerned.
âI heard you like to talk big. What kind of big things do you say?â Shangguan Hengyu asked while activating the formation.
By now, the formation was fully activated, and a light enveloped Bi Zhu.
Gradually, something eroded her body.
âI often tell Auntie Qiao that I am the first genius of the royal family and unparalleled throughout history. Standing at the pinnacle of the royal family, Iâm only slightly inferior to the astonishing geniuses.â Bi Zhu shrugged. âBut Auntie Qiao just laughs at me, and so does my second brother. Although my eldest brother doesnât speak, Iâm sure heâs laughing inside too.â
âThatâs indeed quite amusing.â Shangguan Hengyu nodded.
Then, he looked at the young girl in front of him. âDo you have any last words?â
âLast words?â Bi Zhu tilted her head in confusion. âIâm fine and dandy. Why would I need to say my last words?â
âThatâs a pity.â Shangguan Hengyu sighed.
Then, he cast his technique, and the fortune of the royal family began to be corroded. A formation appeared under his feet.
But he felt uncomfortable.
Then, without any warning, the flesh of his arm began to rot.
âWhatâs going on?â
The sudden change shocked him.
âA curse. Havenât you encountered it before?â Bi Zhu stood in the center of the formation.
âA curse?â Shangguan Hengyuâs face changed, and he immediately tried to channel his power to counter it, but it had no effect.
âHow is this possible? How can a mere curse be impossible to dispel?!â he exclaimed.
âA mere curse?â Bi Zhu gave him a charming smile. âThis is not just a mere curse. Itâs the curse on my body. According to your words, youâre just an early-stage Return to Void Realm cultivator. How can you withstand the curse on my body?â
Shangguan Hengyu was horrified to find that his flesh and blood were also decaying, and his cultivation was crumbling. He panicked.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the young girl in front of him. âWhat do you mean?â
âUhâŠâ Bi Zhu shrugged. âDidnât I just tell you? I am the first genius of the royal family and am unparalleled throughout history. The entire Imperial City canât even match my strength. This is the real me. Itâs just that no one believes me..â
