Fang Family Forces Marriage

The Fang Family, the second-largest family in Demon Suppressing City, suddenly visited the City Lord with a large contingent of Xiantian Masters.

Everyone in the city knew the Fang Family's visit was not for pleasantries. Lord Mo was invited to a banquet at the former Xinglong Demon Suppressing City and took most of the city's experts with him. The vast majority of these were Martial Dao cultivators, leaving only Dongfang Yu in the Innate Mansion.

The City Lord of Xinglong Demon Suppressing City suddenly attacked and detained all guests present. Then, with lightning speed, he launched assaults on two nearby Demon Suppressing Cities.

The City Lord's Mansion of Xinghui Demon Suppressing City resisted fiercely, resulting in the beheading of all survivors after the city fell. The methods were extremely brutal.

It was only then that the news spread, and everyone realized they could no longer contact their respective City Lords.

Mo Ruxue was in the same predicament. Her father, Mo Hongjie, had also attended the banquet invitation at Xinglong Demon Suppressing City and was now detained, his fate unknown.

When the war broke out, Mo Ruxue's leadership talent shone through. She immediately gathered all the Xiantian Masters in the city and went to the City Lord's Mansion, preparing to lead them to rescue her Father King. The Fang Family was the only one that did not show up!

Xingyu Demon Suppressing City bordered the Endless Forest and could be considered the border defense city of the Eastern Continent's human race. Its city walls were far more formidable than those of internal cities.

Furthermore, although Xinglong Demon Suppressing City had captured Xinghui City, their brutal methods provoked their other opponent, Xingyuan Demon Suppressing City, into a desperate resistance.

Xingyu Demon Suppressing City was located further back. If they wanted to attack it, they would have to completely conquer Xinghui and Xingyuan first. Only then could they attack Xingyu Demon Suppressing City.

Mo Ruxue mobilized all the Xiantian Masters, preparing to go to the aid of Xingyuan Demon Suppressing City. However, because of the Fang Family, the second-largest family within the city, they refused to obey orders at this critical juncture, declining to send Xiantian Masters to the City Lord's Mansion.

This meant that if Mo Ruxue wanted to aid Xingyuan City, she would have to leave behind enough Xiantian Masters to counter the Fang Family before she could dispatch troops to Xingyuan.

At this point, different voices emerged among the city's major families. If the enemy was entirely in Xingyuan City, no one would object to sending people to fight. But now an uncertain factor had appeared: the Fang Family!

Which of the other families dared to send out all their experts? This was the advent of chaotic times; without the strength to protect themselves, they would only become prey.

But at this very moment, the Fang Family arrived.

The Fang Family Patriarch did not enter the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he stood outside the gate and bowed to Mo Ruxue, saying:

"Patriarch Fang Xu pays his respects to the Grand Princess."

Mo Ruxue looked at the dozens of Xiantian Masters behind the Fang Family Patriarch and couldn't help but inwardly marvel. This Fang Family harbored sinister ambitions; their arrival was not for good. They had so many Xiantian Masters; their strength could not be underestimated.

"Uncle Fang Xu, there's no need for formalities. A few days ago, your niece used the City Lord's token to issue a summons to all Xiantian Masters in the city. Why did you disobey the order, Uncle Fang Xu?"

It had to be said that Mo Ruxue truly possessed the demeanor of a superior. Facing the aggressive Fang Family, she actually suppressed them in terms of aura!

"Grand Princess, please do not be angry. The Fang Family's experts were arranged to protect me during my seclusion as I was on the verge of a breakthrough. Therefore, everyone did not heed your order, which was truly unavoidable."

Fang Xu said this outside the mansion with feigned sincerity.

"Then, Uncle Fang Xu, are you prepared to obey orders now?"

Mo Ruxue looked at Fang Xu noncommittally. She didn't know the purpose of Fang Xu's visit today, so she decided to respond to changes with constancy.

"Haha, Grand Princess, you are direct. Fang will not hide anything. My son, Fang Cheng, has admired Lord Mo since childhood and is deeply infatuated with the City Lord's daughter. Unbeknownst to me, he was captivated by the Princess's beauty and fell in love with her. Thus, as a father, I have no choice but to shamelessly propose to the City Lord's Mansion to marry the Princess.

The dozens of Xiantian Masters behind me can be considered my son's betrothal gifts, helping the Grand Princess to dispatch troops to Xingyuan Demon Suppressing City and rescue Lord Mo!"

When everyone heard Fang Xu's words, they couldn't help but curse loudly. The Fang Family's wolfish ambitions were laid bare. If they were to marry the Grand Princess, wouldn't the Demon Suppressing City then change its surname to Fang?

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out from within the Fang Family group.

"It's fine if you don't marry the Grand Princess, but I intend to marry a Princess today. Do you think the Fang Family will risk their lives for nothing? Do you take everyone for fools?"

As soon as this was said, many people began to curse loudly. "Fang Cheng, why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve the Princess?"

Mo Ruxue's expression turned icy. Marry a daughter of the Mo Family? There's only my sister and me left in the Mo Family. He wants to force me to marry off my sister! But the situation was dire. Without resolving the Fang Family issue, she couldn't dispatch troops to Xingyuan. Her father was in grave danger, his life and death unknown.

Many families standing behind the Mo Family listened to the Fang Family's words and stood thoughtfully, remaining silent, watching the developments.
