Endless Humiliation! A Furious Divorce Letter!

At that moment, the Maiden's delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she coldly regarded the young man standing beside Xiao Zhan. Dressed in black, he had handsome features but a thin, gaunt frame.

She did not conceal the deep contempt in her eyes in the slightest.

Xiao Yan, son of the Xiao Clan Leader, possessed the Fire Wood Earth Triple Spiritual Root and had been the Xiao Clan's foremost genius three years ago.

Yet now, he had fallen into ruin, reduced to a waste at the Qi Refining First Layer.

As for Liu Ruyan, she had already entered the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, a Great Sect guarded by a Golden Core True Person.

Moreover, she had been accepted as a Personal Disciple by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage elder within the sect.

At nineteen, she had already broken through to Qi Refining Level 6. Her future prospects were limitless.

How could a waste possibly be worthy of becoming Liu Ruyan's fiancé?!

With that thought, she no longer beat around the bush. Xiao Zhan, seated in his chair, leaned forward slightly, then raised her Snow White Swan Neck and said solemnly:

"Uncle Xiao, your niece has not come today for any other matter. I merely wish to dissolve my engagement with Xiao Yan. I hope Uncle Xiao will grant my request!"

Crack!

The Jade Porcelain Cup in Xiao Zhan's hand exploded into powder.

The other Xiao Clan disciples were also furious, and the way they looked at the people from the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect turned hostile.

This humiliation was directed not only at Xiao Yan, but at the entire Xiao Clan!

They had come here in a First-grade Top-tier flying artifact, swaggering ostentatiously all the way.

If the Xiao Clan watched helplessly as its Young Patriarch was rejected by a woman, how could they ever keep their footing in this region?

It was more unbearable than killing them!

The hall fell silent. The Xiao Clan members were filled with righteous indignation, their fury burning to the heavens.

Yet the several people from the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect remained as calm as drifting clouds and gentle winds. They did not take the Xiao Clan seriously at all, and even let out scornful chuckles from time to time.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's face darken to the extreme, the handsome young man in splendid robes, surrounded by the others from the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, rose with a cold sneer.

"Hmph! What, Clan Leader Xiao? Are you unwilling to agree?"

"To tell you the truth, my father is Jiang Erhe, an elder of the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect and a great cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

"Ruyan has already become my father's disciple. Her future is boundless. She is not someone your waste of a son can match!"

"If you know what is good for you, then obediently dissolve this engagement today! Otherwise..."

Before he had finished speaking, Jiang Tiangou unleashed the full force of his Qi Refining Level 7 cultivation. At the same time, his gaze fell upon Liu Ruyan, his eyes openly overflowing with affection.

At that very moment, the elderly deacon from the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect and the other disciples all unleashed powerful auras as well.

One at Qi Refining Tenth Layer, two at Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and three at Qi Refining Level 6.

Naturally, the Xiao Clan's higher-ups would not sit still and await death.

They circulated their cultivation techniques and confronted them.

But with one at Qi Refining Eighth Layer, one at Qi Refining Level 7, and two at Qi Refining Fifth Layer, how could they possibly be a match for the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect?

In an instant, they were suppressed until they could barely breathe!

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan said coldly, "Uncle Xiao, why must it come to this? Water flows downward, while people climb upward. I trust you understand this principle."

"That engagement was merely arranged in private by my grandfather and Grandfather Xiao. It was made without my consent, so naturally it does not count."

"I hope Uncle Xiao will not make things difficult for your niece!"

"As long as you agree to dissolve the engagement, I will offer the Xiao Clan a First-grade Top-tier Barrier Breaking Pill as compensation, to help Uncle Xiao break through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer!"

There was not the slightest emotion in her voice, and her attitude was exceedingly firm.

Looking at the cold and indifferent Liu Ruyan, Xiao Zhan forced himself to remain standing and said, "Heh, I cannot bear the title of uncle. Just call me Clan Leader Xiao."

"Liu Ruyan! Do you know how grave an impact your actions today will have on my Xiao Clan? You and I have never known each other. The engagement was merely arranged by our elders in private. If you wished to dissolve it, you could have discussed it with me privately."

"Though it would be embarrassing for me if the woman broke off the engagement, I, Xiao Yan, have a thick enough skin that I would not care. But my Xiao Clan will not tolerate such humiliation!"

"If we truly agree to your demands today, how will my Xiao Clan ever keep its footing on Wutan Mountain in the future?!"

"Yes! I am a waste right now! But that does not mean I will remain a waste for the rest of my life!"

Liu Ruyan smiled disdainfully. "Heh, what right do you have to lecture me? Fine, then I will give you an opportunity!"

"Three years from now, I will wait for you at the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect."

"If you can defeat me, then I, Liu Ruyan, will be your servant for the rest of my life, to dispose of as you please!"

"If you lose, then obediently dissolve the engagement with me!"

"A mudfish crawling in the dirt dreams of defiling the Nine Heavens Phoenix? What a fool's dream!"

Faced with the Maiden's aggressive pressure and the disdain in her eyes, endless fury surged within Xiao Yan's heart!

Strength!

In the cultivation world, strength decided everything!

But even without strength, I, Xiao Yan, could not allow others to humiliate me at will.

"Hmph! There is no need to wait three years! I have never had any interest in you, nor have I ever harbored any thoughts about you. A Foundation Establishment Elder's disciple?"

"I, Xiao Yan, will one day become a Foundation Establishment expert as well!"

Having said that, he completely ignored Liu Ruyan's frosty expression. He abruptly turned around and strode to the table.

He swiftly began writing on a sheet of white paper.

The ink fell, and the brush stopped.

Xiao Yan took out a short blade and directly cut open his right palm, blood streaming down without stop.

His blood-soaked hand pressed down upon the black words on white paper, leaving behind a glaring crimson print.

With a cold laugh, he flung it down at Liu Ruyan's feet.

"I, Xiao Yan, do not care in the least about some genius fiancée like you. This document is not an agreement to dissolve our engagement—it is a Divorce Letter expelling you from the Xiao Clan!"

"From this day onward, you, Liu Ruyan of the Liu Family, will have not the slightest connection with my Xiao Clan!"

"Now, immediately, take your worthless pill and get the hell out of the Xiao Clan!"

Seeing their Young Patriarch act with such backbone, the younger generation of the Xiao Clan felt utterly exhilarated!

As members of the Lineage, who could watch their Lineage be humiliated and remain indifferent?

They all cried out in approval:

"Well done, Young Patriarch! We have offended you greatly these past years. Please forgive us!"

"The Young Patriarch is mighty! Though my Xiao Clan may be weak, we have no spineless cowards! We would rather die standing than live kneeling!"

"Though you have lost all your cultivation now, your unyielding pride remains. In that respect, you are stronger than I am!"

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes shifted as she stared at the Divorce Letter by her feet. In disbelief, she said, "Xiao Yan! You... you actually dared to divorce me?!"

Who was she? The daughter of the Liu Family Patriarch, a newly risen Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan!

She was also the Personal Disciple of Jiang Erhe, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect!

Fair beauty and talent combined—the Fairy Liu!

And now, she had actually been handed a Divorce Letter by a young waste from a minor Qi Refining Family?

"Outrageous! A mere Qi Refining Family dares humiliate Ruyan! The Xiao Clan must be destroyed!"

Seeing Liu Ruyan divorced, how could Jiang Tiangou possibly remain seated? He immediately struck out with his palm, and a Flame-Wrapped Giant Palm crashed heavily toward Xiao Yan!

"You dare!"

Xiao Zhan instantly stood before his son and helped him neutralize the fatal blow!

Although Jiang Erhe cultivated a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique, Xiao Zhan's cultivation had already reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer Peak, and his strength was no weaker than the other party's.

"Courting death!"

The several Cloud Mountain Sword Sect disciples instantly drew their longswords when they saw that Jiang Erhe had gained no advantage!

The Xiao Clan's Great Elder looked ashen. Though the Xiao Clan held the numerical advantage, he knew clearly that if they truly fought, the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect would slaughter them all within half an hour!

It did not matter if old men like them died, but the Xiao Clan's younger generation could not die. They were the Xiao Clan's future!

He shouted angrily, "Young Master Jiang! My Xiao Clan is an Affiliated Family of the Golden Core Zhang Clan and enjoys its protection! If you destroy my Xiao Clan, the Zhang Family will certainly seek justice for us!"

With no other choice, he could only invoke their backer, praying to win the Xiao Clan a sliver of hope for survival.

Who would have thought that Jiang Tiangou would not only be unafraid, but instead throw back his head and laugh as if he had heard a joke? "The Zhang Family? Hahaha!"

"The Zhang Family is not worth a fart before my Cloud Mountain Sword Sect!"

"They merely have one Golden Core Ancestor in their clan, while my Cloud Mountain Sword Sect has two Golden Core Ancestors! How would they dare act recklessly!"

"If they dare come meddling in other people's business, this Young Master will kill the Zhang Family members all the same!"

"Oh? Is that so? Then this Young Master would like to see exactly how you plan to kill me?"
