Chapter 104: Trapped by Misunderstanding

Shen Luo’s heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, “Yu Jiao, could the true mastermind behind all this really be referring to Mao Tuan?”

The little blue four-legged snake resting on his shoulder nodded. “Most likely.” In truth, they both knew deep down it was definitely that snowy white bundle.

One by one, they arrived with lofty airs, killing without question, invading, treating others like swine and dogs—whether angels or demons, one day they would march beyond the borders, turning the world upside down.

“Are you blaming me for disturbing your good plans?” Lan Xiangting stepped forward a few paces and stood before her.

Meng Changsheng went out to greet them, arriving at the door just as Li Mu and Lu Qingqing approached on horseback.

Though filled with many doubts, Xuanyuan Yeyan refrained from speaking them aloud. If Danyang and the others truly harbored ill intentions, speaking out might only alert them prematurely.

Monogamy is actually quite good—not only does it eliminate strife among wives and concubines, but it also teaches a man what it means to cherish.

However, the moment the vast canopy of icy blue spiritual energy descended, that beautiful dance was destined to come to a perfect, final close.

Lin Chuxia thought carefully—these horses were simply worn to death from relentless travel day and night. While the humans fared better, having means of transport, the horses suffered greatly.

After speaking, before she could step onto the stairs, someone beside her gripped the back of her hand firmly, stopping her from moving forward.

The next moment, Zhan San and his group fiercely pursued from the sky, casting a cold glance downward. They noticed the two individuals but dismissed ordinary mortals as insignificant insects, then pressed on toward the distance.

Lin Chuxia shook her head, indicating she felt no discomfort besides persistent sleepiness; otherwise, all was well.

The Chai family acted decisively—less than a year after the engagement, they consented to the grand wedding, much to Madam Han’s delight. She increased the household’s servant expenses and launched a grand renovation of the courtyard.

To the right stood a young man with golden hair. His appearance was quite striking: sword-like brows and starry eyes, handsomely refined. His crystal-blue irises shimmered with a gentle, profound radiance, and his demeanor was extraordinary.

Yumiko’s face flushed deep red with rage. She wished she could kill Yun Xiangtian immediately; in her memory, no one had ever dared treat or insult her so brazenly. She clenched back her fury and stepped aside with Sun Tong, listening as Sun Tong spoke. Occasionally, she glanced at Yun Xiangtian, her expression gradually shifting.

The sound of shattering bones rang out one after another. Before Yun Li's body could self-destruct, it was torn apart, a splatter of blood and flesh scattering everywhere.

Even though she had nowhere else to go, she would never live in the Second Madam’s courtyard—she felt that Fifth Miss particularly despised her, despite having no apparent reason to offend her.

“Yes!” The two ascended swiftly, their hands sweeping through the air. The eight who had come with Lan Tian all met a grisly end. The two then led the corpses up over the city walls, hanging them as a grim warning for all to see.

The massive blood-shadow sword cleaved Ze Sheng’s entire body in half with overwhelming force, his entrails and blood spilling across the ground.

The fire kindling in his eyes was something I couldn’t quite understand. I didn’t know why he was so angry, but recalling that he once said he regarded me as his own child helped me comprehend. After all, when you care, you become unsettled—who would want their injured child to risk their life again?

A dense aura of death instantly enveloped Chu Ming, so strong that even his divine senses could not dispel the agonizing pain and relentless tearing sensations. Gradually, he seemed to lose consciousness from blood loss and collapsed into a pool of blood.

It turned out his grandson had shattered the enemy’s formation. No wonder. What had transpired in the midst of it all, Xuantian was unaware, but a formation leading to a clan’s annihilation was indeed a rare occurrence. Naturally, this also indirectly proved the critical importance of that formation to those who had destroyed the clan.
