Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 222 - 221 Ye Jiujun

Chapter 222: Chapter 221 Ye Jiujun

A cartful of goods, escorted by over a hundred people.

They traveled overnight from Binhai, and not one person dared to sleep on the way.

Upon seeing Lin Hao, over a hundred bodyguards saluted in unison: "Brother Hao!"

Then, one person ran forward and said to Lin Hao: "Brother Hao, last night, we only managed to gather close to four thousand catties of Primordial Stones."

"The Sect Master said, if Brother Hao needs more, we will continue to find a way these next few days."

The speaker was an Elder of the Mingyang Sect, aged in his fifties or sixties, addressing Lin Hao as Brother Hao without the slightest bit of discomfort, as though it was perfectly natural to do so.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Hao said with a smile, patted the Elder on the shoulder, leapt onto the cart with one step, and with a sweep of his large hand, all the glistening jade-like Primordial Stones on the cart vanished.

After the goods were safely delivered, the Mingyang Sect’s members were kept by the Song Family for a quick meal, and then they immediately left.

Before leaving, the Mingyang Sect Elder said to Lin Hao: "Brother Hao, the Sect Master asked me to tell you, he may make a breakthrough these next few days. If you need to visit the Lan Family, he will certainly give you his full support!"

"Mhm, just let him know to follow the Lan Family’s invitation when the time comes." Lin Hao said.

The people from the Mingyang Sect departed.

Lin Hao took the Primordial Stones, bid farewell to the Song Family, and returned alone to his Binhai Sea Dragon Banquet Villa to begin seclusion.

"One month, I hope to make a breakthrough."

With nearly ten thousand catties of Primordial Stones in the Void Ring, it was an immense quantity, yet even Lin Hao was not entirely clear to what level it could allow him to break through.

The Lan Family.

They could be considered a hidden family within Huaxia, with an extremely vast network of relations. Even with half a month left before the marriage, the Lan Family had already started making arrangements.

Like the Song Family, the Lan Family also resided on a mountain.

However, the difference was, while the Song Family truly lived atop a mountain, the Lan Family was situated in a beautifully scenic tourist attraction.

Here, it was like spring all year around, the location was blessed with outstanding people and a splendid environment, with mountains and rivers surrounding it, attracting countless tourists.

To be able to acquire a mountain here and develop it into their home, one could imagine how powerful the Lan Family’s influence was.

This month, the Lan Family was busy, firstly with inviting guests, and secondly with purchasing items, preparing all the necessities required for the wedding.

Although.

The Lan Family was not the main stage of the marriage, as the family of the bride, they ensured nothing was missing, filling the Lan Family with joy and festivity.

The only exception was Lan Xiyue, who was downhearted all day, growing increasingly thinner as the days drew near.

After Lin Hao cured her illness, her strength had increased leaps and bounds during this period, advancing from a Martial Artist to a Grandmaster.

Even she herself was a bit frightened by such talent.

Every time she made a breakthrough, she would miss Lin Hao, knowing that without that man as cold as an iceberg, she wouldn’t have achieved her successes today.

"Miss, are you thinking about Young Master Lin again?" Behind Lan Xiyue, a maid inquired.

"Mhm." Lan Xiyue sat in front of the dressing table, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror, "Xiaorou, why is it that we, the children of noble families, can never decide our own marriages?"

Behind her, the maid Xiaorou replied: "Miss, don’t think that way, I actually envy you. I’ve been an orphan since I was young, born lowly. Without you, I wouldn’t know where I’d be begging now. Your status is something we couldn’t wish for in ten lifetimes."

"Sigh..."

Lan Xiyue was about to say something when suddenly, a noisy clatter came from outside the door: "Go see what’s going on."

"Alright."

Xiaorou hurriedly put down the comb in her hand, opened the door, and looked down from upstairs.

She saw on the vast square of the Lan Family, a man in his twenties dressed in a black suit, accompanied by over a dozen bodyguards, striding confidently into the Lan Family’s estate.

Xiaorou recognized him at a glance, and upon returning to the room, said to Lan Xiyue, "Mr. Zhang has arrived."

"What does he want?"

"Who knows. Maybe, like the previous six, he’s here to stop your marriage as well. They are all your suitors."

At this, Xiaorou couldn’t help but sigh, "Young Master Ye is truly formidable. Miss, marrying him wouldn’t be so bad. Look at those who’ve come to stop your marriage in these days; isn’t every single one of them driven away by him?"

"He is powerful, but I had never met him before this. Those who came to stop the marriage weren’t all that strong to begin with. His underlings could have dealt with them. His personal involvement is simply a show of strength in front of the Lan Family," Lan Xiyue sighed.

Ye Jiujun.

This man is indeed powerful with unparalleled talent. At the young age of thirty, among his peers, he’s nearly unbeatable.

His Ye Family is not weak either.

Compared to the Lan Family, they are in no ways inferior. Not only do they have powerhouses at the Returning to Void Realm, but behind them is the support of a super powerful and mysterious figure.

This is exactly why the Lan Family insists that Lan Xiyue must marry Ye Jiujun. Once the families are united through marriage, the benefits for the Lan Family will be boundless.

"The situation outside seems to be getting more lively, Miss. Shall we go have a look?" asked Xiaorou.

"Fine, let’s go together." Lan Xiyue was curious as well. During this period, many of her suitors had heard about her impending marriage and came to stop it, or rather, to prove themselves.

Yet without exception, they were all defeated by the Ye Family, thrown out, each encounter never lasting longer than three minutes.

First one, then another, until six had come.

This was the seventh.

Yet this time, it had been close to ten minutes, and the noise outside was still loud with intermittent bursts of discussion.

Exiting the room with Xiaorou, they stood on the observation deck, gazing into the distance.

At a glance, they saw Mr. Zhang in the square, wounded, with a short sword pierced through his chest.

The sword embedded halfway into his body, a fatal blow.

Beside Mr. Zhang was a white-haired elder in his sixties or seventies, supporting him, his face grim as he stared at the group of people opposite.

In the forefront stood a man, about thirty, tall and lean, with a hint of a dismissive smile at the corner of his mouth.

This man was Ye Jiujun, with two subordinates standing behind him.

Surrounding them were some people of the Lan Family, including servants and descendants of the family.

"Ye Jiujun, don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to make a move against you?" The elder propping up Mr. Zhang said with grim eyes.

Mr. Zhang had been severely wounded, a sword piercing through his ribs. Had the elder not appeared in time, he might have lost his life.

"Old fool, so what if you attack me? Not to be offensive, but someone like this trash wanting to marry Xiyue? He was courting death."

"Get lost, do not hinder my sight," Ye Jiujun replied, not taking the elder seriously, his attitude one of invincibility.

"That’s some big talk. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this?" the elder opposite him said darkly.

The Primordial Qi around the elder was turbulent, and by his appearance, he was a Primordial Qi Master, at least at the Eighth Layer Heaven!

"An explanation?"

Ye Jiujun furrowed his brow, stepped forward, and approached the elder, "Fine, I’ll give you an explanation."

"Shh!"

Almost as soon as his words fell, Ye Jiujun made his move, slapping Mr. Zhang across the face.

The slap held not the slightest restraint.

Mr. Zhang’s head deformed from the impact, his facial features twisted, and he died on the spot, his blood splattering the elder’s face!

"How about that for an explanation? Satisfied?" Ye Jiujun asked mockingly.
