Why Break Off the Engagement Just Because You Were Cuckolded?

In a gorge on Heavenly Desolate Mountain in Central Province of the Wild Heaven Region, no fewer than seven grand formations of different colors sealed off everything.

Within them stood twenty-one men and women, every one of them radiating overwhelmingly powerful auras!

These people were, at the very least, deputy sect masters or Grand Elders of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools.

Aside from the Vast Sword Sect, every sect had sent one representative.

Standing at the center was a white-haired old man with a white beard—the Sect Master of the Upper Purity Sect, Ouyang Xuri!

After surveying his surroundings, he said gravely, "Everyone, Ji Wushuang, the Vast Sword Sect's new Saint Son, has obtained Immortal Source Fortune. He cannot be allowed to remain! Otherwise, at the Apprentice Ceremony... the Saint Sons and Saintesses of our sects will struggle to catch Mu Yun Sanxian's eye!"

A burly man in black robes gave a cold smile and said sinisterly, "If that is the case, then the best method is naturally... to eliminate him!"

A beautiful middle-aged woman shook her head and objected, "No! We are righteous and renowned sects. How can we do something so filthy? Besides, if we truly do this, it would be far too obvious... one misstep, and we may end up lifting a rock only to smash our own feet!"

A hunchbacked Gray-robed Elder smiled. "Sect Master Ouyang, since you summoned us here, I presume you already have a foolproof plan? Why not tell us? In this matter, we are branches of the same tree..."

Thus, gazes converged upon Ouyang Xuri once more.

"Kill with a borrowed knife! And there is one knife particularly suited for the task... Nangong Feifei of the Limitless Demon Sect! That woman is arrogant to the extreme. The matter of the Vast Sword Sect's Voice-Recording Pearl is the perfect bait!"

"All we need to do is release word that Ji Wushuang was the mastermind behind this affair! With that demoness's temperament... heh heh..."

"To ensure this plan succeeds, we ought to bleed a little as well... gather one million High-Grade Spirit Stones and have Demon Void, the Blood Drip Assassins Alliance's number one assassin, make his move!"

"Heh heh... no matter how extraordinarily gifted Ji Wushuang is, he is ultimately only a Ninth Rank Seventh Grade Golden Core. He is certainly doomed! I will not take any Spirit Stones for this matter. I will take full responsibility for it myself. How about it?"

Ouyang Xuri spoke slowly, laying out the plan in detail.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement.

Such a plan was linked ring upon ring, while allowing them to remain completely uninvolved. It was simply exquisite!

Though handing over fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones each pained them dearly, it was absolutely worth it.

Thus, they quickly hit it off.

At the foot of Heaven Piercing Golden Peak in the Vast Sword Sect, numerous elders and disciples had gathered, all to witness Liu Ruyan "prove her innocence."

Ji Yaoyue, Azure Glow Elder, Copper Hammer Elder, and the others were all present.

What surprised everyone somewhat was that Ji Wushuang seemed to be in a terrible state of mind. He appeared dazed, and his face was dark and gloomy!

"Disciple Wushuang, you must have been so worried last night that you could not sleep, right? Do not worry. We must believe in Ru Yan!" Ji Yaoyue comforted him.

Yet Ji Wushuang merely nodded listlessly upon hearing this.

"Activate!"

With Situ Wuya's sharp shout, his hand formed seals in rapid succession, activating his mid-grade treasure artifact—the Gleaming Seven Treasures Pool!

At once, the treasure pool expanded again and again, and vast three-colored mystical light surged from within it.

"Whoosh!..."

Liu Ruyan, peerlessly beautiful and graceful, flashed forward and plunged directly into the treasure pool!

Before long, agonized screams rang out from within.

"Crack! Crack!..."

It was the sound of bones breaking.

It made the listeners' scalps tingle with horror!

Though the Gleaming Seven Treasures Pool was far more precious and extraordinary than the Vast Sword Sect's Dust Washing Pool, its Three Lights Divine Water still melted the body before reshaping it anew—a process that remained exceedingly dangerous.

The slightest mistake would result in death!

Time passed second by second.

Three hours later.

"Boom!..."

A breathtakingly beautiful figure leaped out of the Gleaming Seven Treasures Pool. Her white dress fluttered around her, outlining a stunningly curvaceous figure. It was none other than Liu Ruyan.

The skin across her entire body had become clear and lustrous, like the purest white jade. Her temperament was noble and aloof, her snow-white swan neck held high, carrying its own touch of proud charm!

"Success! Ninth Rank Foundation Establishment Great Perfection? Perfect and without flaw... Disciple Ru Yan, you truly did wonderfully!"

Azure Glow Elder was overjoyed and beside herself with excitement!

She could sense that Liu Ruyan's constitution seemed to have undergone a tremendous leap!

She could absolutely be called a true daughter favored by heaven!

"Today, I, Liu Ruyan, will condense my Golden Core anew!"

Liu Ruyan shouted sharply, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating!

Not long after!

The skies above the Vast Sword Sect changed in color, with myriad phenomena unfolding!

Two days later.

Accompanied by Liu Ruyan's delicate cry, seven-colored light blossomed above her head, dazzling and resplendent!

She successfully broke through to the First Rank Golden Core Realm and condensed a Seventh Grade Golden Core!

"A First Rank water-element Seventh Grade Golden Core!"

Someone cried out in shock!

One had to know, that was Seventh Grade!

When ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators broke through to the Golden Core Realm, they mostly condensed weak First or Second Grade Golden Cores. Even Sixth Grade was already the level of most Saint Sons and Saintesses among the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools.

Yet Liu Ruyan had condensed a Seventh Grade Golden Core through her potential and fortune!

Such an incomparably beautiful and extraordinary woman was truly hard to find in this world!

Everyone was stirred into action and rushed over.

Even Sect Master Li Yinglian arrived, beaming as he said "good" three times in a row.

What was even more unexpected was that Red Beard Elder publicly proposed naming Liu Ruyan the Vast Sword Sect's Saintess!

Li Yinglian pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Ru Yan is qualified! However, this matter is of great importance... I must discuss it with the elders before making a final decision."

Such an answer was already practically an affirmative statement.

For Liu Ruyan to become the Vast Sword Sect's Saintess, all that remained was a proper sect meeting.

For a time, everyone's gazes toward Liu Ruyan changed...

"Junior Brother Wushuang, thank you for giving me your full support from behind the scenes!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Ji Wushuang and gave him a light bow, her posture exquisitely beautiful and elegant.

At the sight, all the male disciples went dry-mouthed, wishing they could transform into women's best friends and go make friends with Liu Ruyan!

"Senior Sister Wushuang overpraises me. I merely did what a Saint Son ought to do!" Ji Wushuang replied with a wave of his hand, calm as drifting clouds and flowing water.

Liu Ruyan's long, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she laughed sweetly. "I wonder what expression Chen Xuan will wear when he learns that I have reshaped my pure body? It will surely be wonderful, right?"

The crowd immediately began chiming in, mostly mocking Chen Xuan with cold ridicule!

Without comparison, there could be no harm!

Saint Son Ji was as refined as jade, extraordinarily gifted, and possessed the Appearance of Becoming Immortal!

Chen Xuan, that crippled Saint Son... was utterly unworthy of comparison!

Ji Yaoyue stepped forward, affectionately taking Liu Ruyan's jade-like hand and repeatedly asking after her wellbeing.

At last, she even sighed with emotion. "I truly hope the sect makes its decision soon! If Ru Yan can become the Saintess, then she can cultivate our sect's sole Divine Power Level Sword Art together with Wushuang—Dual Swords Combination!"

Boom!

The moment those words fell.

Everyone present was stunned, then looked at Ji Wushuang and Liu Ruyan with boundless envy!

Amid the crowd, Zhao Caiyue, Shen Qingqing, Bai Ling, and Mu Xueyuan all turned pale, feeling the fury of having the one they loved most taken away...

The same thought rose in all four women's hearts: "Chen Xuan, you beast! It is all your fault! It was just being cuckolded—why did you break off the engagement? Bastard!..."
