Famous Scene - Breaking Off the Engagement!!!

"There is no need!"

"Elder Ge Ye, you should take this pill back to your Misty Cloud Sect!"

"As for this matter of annulling the engagement, I, Xiao Yan, will absolutely never agree to it!"

Within the crowd, a young man abruptly stood up, his expression cold as he addressed Ge Ye and his party.

"Xiao Yan! This is no place for a junior like you to speak!"

"Get back in line!"

It is worth noting that before Ge Ye and his party could even respond to Xiao Yan's answer, several elders of the Xiao Clan were the first to step forward and rebuke him.

"Heh..." Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh. With icy eyes, he looked at the elders of the Xiao Clan and said, "Elders, if I heard correctly, this matter concerns me, does it not?"

"Since it is my affair, why shouldn't I be allowed to speak?"

"As for you elders, scolding me like this—is it truly for the sake of the Xiao Clan, or for your own selfish interests?"

"That is perhaps hard to say..."

Xiao Yan's voice echoed through the hall, causing the expressions of the elders to shift.

"Insolent!" One elder's face turned ugly, and just as he was about to berate him, he was interrupted by the sound of a palm slamming against a table.

"Bang!"

"Enough!"

The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Yan's father, the current patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan.

His face was deathly pale, and as his gaze swept across the room, the aura of a five-star Great Dou Master instantly permeated the hall, causing everyone's shoulders to sink under the pressure.

"Do not forget, everyone, that I am the patriarch of the Xiao Clan!" Xiao Zhan stared at the elders, his voice deep and powerful.

Hearing this, all the elders of the Xiao Clan shut their mouths and obediently returned to their seats.

"Hmph!" Xiao Zhan swept his gaze around the room with a cold snort before looking at Xiao Yan, his eyes softening. "Yan'er, this is your marriage; feel free to speak your mind."

"As long as it is reasonable, your father will support you!"

Xiao Yan felt a warmth in his heart and bowed to Xiao Zhan. "Thank you, Father!"

He turned around, his gaze falling upon the stunningly beautiful woman beside Ge Ye. "Nalan Yanran, is it?"

"You are the one who wants to annul the engagement?"

A flicker of displeasure crossed Nalan Yanran's eyes. She had not expected this youth before her to be so rude as to address her by her name so bluntly.

However, remembering that she was indeed the one initiating the annulment, she held her tongue.

She merely looked at Xiao Yan with a flat expression and said, "That is correct, it is me!"

"You are Xiao Yan?"

"To be honest, the engagement between us was decided by our grandfathers' words alone, without seeking my consent. Therefore, I do not acknowledge this betrothal."

"As long as your Xiao Clan is willing to annul the engagement with me, this Qi Gathering Pill can serve as compensation."

"If your Xiao Clan feels it is not enough, we can discuss it further!"

"What do you think?"

After hearing the young girl's words, a flash of disdain crossed Xiao Yan's eyes.

He let out a cold laugh and said, "I think nothing of it!"

"You come to my Xiao Clan with such a grand display, wielding the prestige of the Misty Cloud Sect to force me into an annulment, and you actually harbor the delusion that a mere Qi Gathering Pill can settle the matter."

"Isn't that taking my Xiao Clan a bit too lightly?"

Faced with Xiao Yan's retort, Nalan Yanran's eyes darkened. "Then what do you want?"

A cold sneer curled the corners of Xiao Yan's lips. He turned abruptly, walked quickly to the desk, and began to write furiously.

The ink fell! The brush stopped!

A contract was written in an instant!

Xiao Yan took the document, strode over to Nalan Yanran, and slapped it down in front of her. "Nalan Yanran, remember this."

"Today, it is not you who is annulling the engagement with me."

"It is I, Xiao Yan... who is issuing a Letter of Divorce to you!!!!"

"A... a letter of divorce?" Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you dare to divorce me?"

"That's right!" Xiao Yan looked at her coldly. "I am divorcing you!"

"Do you really think I, Xiao Yan, care about having a genius wife like you?"

"Take this letter of divorce and get out of the Xiao Clan immediately!"

His attitude was firm and forceful.

But the moment his voice fell.

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Insolent!" The one who spoke was Elder Ge Ye standing to the side. His face was now livid, and his eyes had turned increasingly fierce. "How could you, the Xiao Clan, dare to humiliate the Saintess of my Misty Cloud Sect?"

BOOM!

The Dou Qi of a seven-star Great Dou Master erupted violently.

It struck like a giant wave, crashing incessantly against everyone present.

It made it difficult for those in the hall to even breathe.

"Elder Ge Ye, this is the Xiao Clan, not your Misty Cloud Sect!"

A steady, deep voice resonated, and an incredibly surging Dou Qi instantly exploded outward. The pressure of a five-star Great Dou Master permeated the air, standing in direct opposition to Elder Ge Ye.

The person who made the move was none other than someone else.

It was Xiao Zhan, who sat at the head of the hall in the Patriarch's seat!

"Hmph!" Elder Ge Ye's expression was icy. "Patriarch Xiao, today I represent the Misty Cloud Sect to discuss the annulment of the engagement with the Xiao Clan."

"We have shown great sincerity."

"But your clan seems somewhat unappreciative!"

His eyes flickered, revealing a hint of malice.

The pressure of the seven-star Great Dou Master swept across the entire hall, easily suppressing the aura of Xiao Zhan's five-star Great Dou Master level.

"Damn it..."

Feeling the other party's aggressive momentum, Xiao Zhan's face turned ugly. He let out a low growl, and pale green Dou Qi covered his body, condensing into the phantom image of a lion's head.

This was none other than the Xiao Clan's Profound-tier intermediate cultivation technique—Furious Lion Rage!

"A mere five-star Great Dou Master..."

"Overestimating yourself!"

Elder Ge Ye showed a trace of contempt. He stood before the young girl, his eagle-claw-like hands slightly curled. Cyan Dou Qi gathered within his claws, emitting thin, sharp streaks of sword energy.

Profound-tier low-level Dou Technique—Green Wood Sword Art!

As the two men's auras erupted, everyone in the hall felt a tightness in their chests, as if an invisible pressure had descended upon them, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Patriarch Xiao, you had better think this through!"

"Does your Xiao Clan truly wish to oppose my Misty Cloud Sect?"

As these words were spoken, Xiao Zhan's body stiffened, his face looking extremely unsightly.

He looked around.

He discovered that not only were the people from the Misty Cloud Sect looking at him with ill intent.

Many of the Xiao Clan's elders and high-ranking members were also looking at him with great dissatisfaction. Those gazes seemed to be saying that as Patriarch, Xiao Zhan should be considering the interests of the entire Xiao Clan, not just for the sake of a single person!

These pressures weighed upon Xiao Zhan, causing a few traces of dejection to appear on his face.

Just as Xiao Zhan slowly retracted his Dou Qi, preparing to accept this reality.

Suddenly—

A loud, resonant laugh rang out.

"Well said!"

"That is exactly what a son of the Xiao Clan should say!"

"What kind of bullshit Misty Cloud Sect, what kind of bullshit Nalan Clan!"

"Just based on the likes of you... you dare to come to my Xiao Clan and run wild?"

As the voice faded.

A figure suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

He had a refined appearance, with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, and two locks of hair drifting by his cheeks. His tall, straight figure stood proudly before everyone.

With his hands behind his back, he scanned the room, his entire being exuding an indifferent and noble temperament.

His appearance left everyone in the hall feeling deeply puzzled.

Especially the younger generation, whose hearts were filled with confusion.

"This person—who exactly is he?"
