Seeing the Li family's legitimate daughter being beaten, so of the young and hot-headed ghost cultivators from the Li family imdiately wanted to intervene.
But they were stopped by the head of the Li family.
The ghost cultivators whispered, "Family Head, how can we just watch as the young lady is beaten?"
The head of the Li family responded, "She chose to marry into the Chu family. She made her own decision, and even if it’s hard, she must see it through."
"Besides, do you really think you can take on Chu Chenlun with just a few of you?"
Hearing this, the ghost cultivators fell silent.
But the anger on their faces did not subside.
The head of the Li family sighed without leaving any trace.
That was his own daughter. How could he not want to stand up for her?
But right now, the Chu family was still too powerful.
Since the Li family wanted to climb the ladder of the wealthy Chu family, they had to pay the price.
It was impossible to fall out with the Chu family now.
If things got out of hand, there were consequences the Li family could not bear.
So, they could only endure!
Chu Chenlun turned around and looked at the Chu family’s ancestor, Chu Tiannuo, then walked toward Xin Wan'en.
He spoke loudly, "The three-year period has co. Are you here to return the Chu family’s betrothal gifts?"
Ye Yu took out a post from his sleeve and directly threw it in front of Chu Chenlun.
Chu Chenlun slightly raised his hand and picked up the post. After reading it, he couldn't help but laugh aloud.
The loud laughter made all the ghost cultivators present confused.
What was written inside?
What could be so funny?
Chu Chenlun suddenly closed the post and said coldly, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here?"
Ye Yu calmly replied, "I am Ye Yu, the disciple of Xin Wan'en."
"Why are you getting so worked up?"
"To be honest, my master and I are here today to call off the engagent!"
"The Chu family in Xianyin City is blind. The legitimate son, Chu Chenlun, has little virtue and is unworthy to marry into the Xin family."
"The three-year period has passed, and here is your letter of annulnt!"
"From now on, the Xin and Chu families will have no further ties!"
These words, empowered by ghostly energy, instantly spread throughout Xianyin City.
Everyone present was stunned.
They had never expected that Ye Yu and Xin Wan'en had co here to annul the engagent.
This was ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ truly a shocking turn of events, witnessing a divine miracle.
Xin Wan'en, a ghost cultivator with a damaged soul body, brought only one disciple to the Chu family’s headquarters to cause trouble.
This was nothing less than slapping the Chu family in the face in front of everyone.
Who gave them the courage to do this?
Chu Chenlun clenched his fists tightly, and ghostly energy spread around him.
"Kid, you're seeking death, and I'll grant it to you!"
As his voice fell, ghostly swords materialized, rushing toward Ye Yu.
The speed was so fast that it made everyone’s scalp tingle.
This was Chu Chenlun's near-full-power strike, aid to kill Ye Yu on the spot.
But Ye Yu didn't make any attempt to dodge or defend.
He stood still, a playful glint in his eyes.
Just as the nurous ghostly swords were about to pierce him, Xin Wan'en suddenly stepped in front of Ye Yu and raised her right hand.
A burst of red flas suddenly erupted, swallowing all the ghostly swords!
Seeing this, Chu Chenlun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He instinctively turned to look at Xin Wan'en.
Wasn't it rumored that her soul body was damaged and she could only stay at the early stage of the Transformation Realm?
But to block that attack just now, one would need at least the cultivation level of the Ascension Realm.
What was going on?
Could the rumors be wrong?
At this mont, Chu Tiannuo, the ancestor of the Chu family, shifted his sitting position and began to observe carefully, as if he had discovered sothing interesting.
Chu Chenlun lightly flicked his fingers and coldly asked, "Your soul body hasn't been damaged?"
Xin Wan'en’s aura began to rise sharply.
The surrounding ghostly energy started to gather in an orderly manner.
Soon, a pressure unique to the later stage of the Ascension Realm’s ghostly energy swept the entire area.
Most of the guests present couldn’t even lift their heads due to the imnse pressure.
Even Chu Chenlun felt a little strained.
She... was at the later stage of the Ascension Realm?
How was this possible?
Why was her cultivation speed faster than his?
Xin Wan'en coldly replied, "I ca today just to annul the engagent."
"But you wanted to kill my disciple."
"You truly deserve to die!"
After saying this, Xin Wan'en ford a hand seal, and red flas suddenly erupted beneath Chu Chenlun’s feet.
In an instant, they swallowed him whole.
The extre heat lted several nearby ghost cultivators instantly.
When the flas dissipated, Chu Chenlun had already vanished, along with many of the guests.
It seed as if there was now a vacuum zone in that area.
Seeing this, all the ghost cultivators began to scatter in panic.
The Chu family mbers exchanged looks, unsure of what to do.
The strongest among them was Chu Chenlun.
But in a single exchange, he had been instantly killed by Xin Wan'en.
Who would dare to step forward now?
That would be pure suicide!
So, they all turned their attention to Chu Tiannuo, the ancestor of the Chu family.
Xin Wan'en also looked up at him.
To be honest, she couldn't understand why the Chu family ancestor didn't intervene.
If he had stepped in, Chu Chenlun might have had a chance to survive.
But he simply watched without doing anything.
What did this an?
Soon, the once-bustling Chu family beca quite quiet.
Only Ye Yu, Xin Wan'en, and the Chu family disciples remained.
Chu Tiannuo slowly stood up and smiled as he spoke.
"Several hundred years ago, I already saw your potential."
"So I forced the Xin family into an engagent with my Chu family."
"Later, the Xin family declined, and your soul body was damaged."
"Though I regret it, I didn’t intervene to save you."
"Because I know that only in desperation can a ghost's full potential be unleashed."
"Now, it's proven that you, Xin Wan'en, really succeeded!"
"Not only have you repaired your soul body, but you've even reached the later stage of the Ascension Realm."
"Such talent is far superior to Chu Chenlun's."
"I acknowledge you now!"
"Let’s make a deal. I'll personally help you rebuild the Xin family."
"And I’ll avenge you against the Flower Burial Ghost Manor."
"But in exchange, you must beco my Dao partner."
"Let's grow the Chu family!"
"What do you say?"
"No deal!"
Ye Yu imdiately opposed, his eyes cold as ice, and continued, "You, as the Chu family ancestor, have lived too long and your brain's turned to mush."
"Do you want my master to be your Dao partner?"
"Who do you think you are?"
