Zhang and Su Families' Marriage Alliance! Wedding Date!

"You were looking for me?"

A sinister voice rose behind the three of them, like Yama come to claim their lives.

The three robber cultivators instantly felt their hair stand on end, cold sweat streaming down their backs.

Before they could react, a streak of sword light flashed. In the next moment, the head of the Scarred Burly Middle-aged Man standing in the middle flew off.

The headless body took two steps forward before crashing to the ground.

"Big Brother!"

The Fat Middle-aged Man and the Lean Man cried out in alarm, instantly retreating to opposite sides and forming a pincer attack. They watched Zhang Xuanchen's cold eyes vigilantly.

Their eyes brimmed with grief and killing intent.

The Fat Middle-aged Man glanced at his Big Brother's body on the ground, his eyes filled with endless fury.

After so many years together, though they were not blood brothers, they were closer than blood brothers.

Now that their Big Brother had been killed, they naturally had to avenge him.

He gave his Third Brother a look, and the Lean Man understood at once.

The cultivations of Qi Refining Level 7 and Qi Refining Eighth Layer erupted.

Gripping a Black Long Blade, he leaped into the air and charged at Zhang Xuanchen like a cannonball.

Zhang Xuanchen, however, had no time to waste here with the two of them.

He directly pulled out two First-grade Top-tier Explosive Flame Talismans. After activating them with spiritual power, he hurled them at the pair.

A First-grade Top-tier Explosive Flame Talisman cost one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones apiece. Their value was extraordinary, and their power rivaled the full-force strike of a Qi Refining Tenth Layer cultivator.

Used properly, they could even blast a Qi Refining Peak cultivator to death.

"Third Brother! Watch out!"

The Fat Middle-aged Man reacted with astonishing speed, instantly taking out his Life-saving trump card. Layers of Yellow Earth Rock wrapped around his body, blocking the explosive force of the Explosive Flame Talismans.

The Lean Man was not so lucky. An Explosive Flame Talisman flew directly beside his head and exploded.

Terrifying flames swept through the area, instantly burning him to ashes.

At the sight, the Fat Middle-aged Man cried out again, "Third Brother! Damn it!

"You demon! You killed my Big Brother and Third Brother! I'll make you die!"

Zhang Xuanchen felt no ripples in his heart.

If he had been the weaker side, the three of them would probably have chopped him into pieces long ago.

It was nothing more than the law of the jungle.

The long blade in the Fat Middle-aged Man's hand became enveloped in a layer of Gold Attribute spiritual energy. Carrying a fierce aura, its edge once again slashed toward Zhang Xuanchen.

Zhang Xuanchen's expression remained as still as water as he cast the Second-tier Spell, Chain Fireball.

In an instant, eight fireballs formed around him.

He pointed a finger at the Fat Middle-aged Man. "Go!"

As though they had received an order, the eight fireballs shot toward their enemy.

"What?!"

Feeling the power contained within the fireballs, terror appeared in the Fat Middle-aged Man's eyes!

"How can someone at Qi Refining Level 7 cast a spell with power comparable to Qi Refining Ninth Layer?!"

Though terrified, his movements did not slow in the slightest.

He swung his long blade wrapped in golden light and slashed with all his strength. The first four fireballs were cut cleanly in half and flew past him, blasting down the Tall Ancient Pines on either side.

Flames ignited on those pine trees, yet for some reason, they did not spread outward.

Perhaps it was because of the fog.

After blocking four fireballs, the Fat Middle-aged Man's hands were already trembling slightly. He had clearly reached his limit.

"Fuck! This kid is definitely not a Rogue Cultivator! I was careless! Diamond Talisman!"

With a low roar, he activated another First-grade Top-tier Spirit Talisman.

These were all Life-saving trump cards, yet he had actually used them against a brat at Qi Refining Level 7.

His heart bled, and regret filled him as well.

Had he known this would happen, he never should have provoked this young man.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The remaining four fireballs successfully struck the Fat Middle-aged Man.

Yet with the Diamond Talisman's protection, they did not cause him any harm.

Just as the lingering force of the fireballs dissipated, the Fat Middle-aged Man suddenly sensed a deadly chill. The Diamond Talisman around him was instantly shattered by an Ice Sword condensed from an Ice Sword Talisman.

Zhang Xuanchen used Wind Chasing Escape to arrive before him.

With a flick of his hand, the sword fell. A head that died with its eyes wide open flew more than ten meters away.

He collected the three men's Storage Bags, burned their corpses, and swiftly left the scene.

The commotion here had been no small matter. It would surely draw many people over.

At that moment, he pushed Wind Chasing Escape to its limit. His speed was no slower than that of a cultivator who had just entered Foundation Establishment.

Some First Stage demonic beasts tried to attack him, but they simply could not keep up with Zhang Xuanchen's speed.

After chasing him for some distance, they gave up.

At the same time, a major event took place in the Penglai Islands.

The two great Golden Core Families, the Xuanxiao Zhang Family and the Liuyun Su Family, simultaneously announced that Zhang Xuanbing and Su Muyan would become Cultivation Partners half a year later.

It caused a tremendous uproar.

One was Zhang Xuanbing, son of the Zhang Clan Patriarch and one of the Zhang Family Twin Stars.

The other was Su Muyan, granddaughter of the Su Family Great Elder and one of the top three among the Su Family's younger generation.

What this signified went without saying.

Su Family, residence of the Great Elder.

A white-haired Elder looked at the girl before him, his eyes filled with affection and helplessness.

The girl wore a light-blue gauze dress. Her face was as delicate as porcelain, her brows like distant emerald mountains. Paired with her glossy black hair, she seemed like a princess who had stepped out of a painting, beautiful and moving.

"Muyan, as a girl, you need to be reserved. Do you understand what being reserved means?

"I truly don't know what you see in that ice-faced fellow. Sigh."

The Elder's tone was full of helplessness.

He had been perfectly aware of everything his granddaughter had done over the years. Given the Lineage's circumstances, he had simply turned a blind eye.

But this was a good thing for Su Muyan.

To meet someone she liked in a marriage alliance was also a kind of fortune.

Hearing her grandfather's words, Su Muyan retorted:

"Grandfather, you don't understand. Brother Bing is very good. He is just a man of few words.

"Tell me, if I had encountered another man that day, would your granddaughter's innocence still have remained? How many men could do even that much?"

As she spoke, the girl's smile bloomed once more. In her mind appeared the scene of Zhang Xuanbing descending like a god when she had been in danger.

Hearing this, Su Zhengxiong sighed. "A grown daughter cannot be kept at home, a grown daughter cannot be kept at home."

"Grandfather, what are you saying? It is not as if I will be unable to return after marrying over there. I will definitely come back often to visit you."

"Nonsense!"

At these words, the affection on Su Zhengxiong's face instantly vanished, replaced by an exceedingly stern expression.

"From the moment you marry into the Zhang Family, you will be a member of the Zhang Family! Everything you do must place the Zhang Family first!

"Even if the Su Family faces a crisis that threatens its very extinction in the future, if you wish to lend a hand, you must first obtain the Zhang Family's consent.

"If you do anything that harms the Zhang Family's interests, then even if they kill you, Grandfather will have no reason to avenge you!

"This is the unspoken consensus of the entire cultivation world!

"Do you understand?"

Seeing her grandfather's stern expression, Su Muyan nodded earnestly.

She was not foolish. On the contrary, she was very intelligent and understood the gravity of the matter.

"Grandfather's words, Muyan will remember them in her heart. From now on, I will certainly not do anything that harms the Zhang Family's interests."
