"Although I don't know how you managed to leave Dark Shadow Island, it's not yet time for our agreed-upon meeting. Why have you come now?"
Li Qingxuan couldn't help but say, "This Xi Ning City is not a place where you can act recklessly. Considering our past connection, I'll spare your life this time. You should leave quickly, before you lose the chance to leave at all."
Lu Chong's lips curled into a sneer as he said calmly, "Though the agreed time hasn't come, there was never any rule against coming early."
Li Qingxuan was stunned.
"Are you saying you want to resolve the marriage contract matter today?"
"Yes!"
"Have you thought it through?"
"Of course."
"Fine!" Li Qingxuan nodded, "In that case, we'll stick to our previous agreement. If you lose, you'll hand over the marriage contract and never appear before me again. If you win, I'll fulfill the marriage contract."
"Agreed."
Lu Chong nodded slightly, then added, "Of course, I have no interest in you."
Li Qingxuan paused, asking, "What do you mean?"
"Please ask Li Hongtian to come out and face me!" Lu Chong said calmly.
His reasoning was simple.
It was to save time.
With his current strength, defeating Li Qingxuan would be as easy as waving his hand.
However.
If he truly defeated Li Qingxuan, whom Li Hongtian had painstakingly trained, would Li Hongtian let the matter rest?
In that case.
Why not challenge the bigger fish directly!
It would save trouble.
Otherwise, with this spare time, he could have carried several loads of manure.
"Is there something wrong with your head?"
Li Qingxuan said with displeasure, "Dealing with you and your endless chatter has already wasted enough of my time. What right does a worthless person like you have to demand my master's presence?"
"Do you really think my master would even glance at you?"
However.
Before she could finish speaking, Gong Chen sent her flying with a slap.
"Damn, weak in power but strong in words!"
Gong Chen said impatiently, "Originally, I had no particular feelings about this girl. After all, you were worthless, so her wanting to break off the engagement made sense."
"But now, after just a brief interaction, her true nature shows. Seems she's not such a good bird after all!"
"Boom!"
Li Qingxuan crashed heavily into the city, demolishing many buildings.
This sudden change immediately triggered intense reactions throughout the city.
She spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up, and screamed venomously, "Guards! Intruders in Xi Ning City! Capture those two!"
"Yes!"
In an instant.
Countless Xi Ning City experts swarmed out like locusts, densely attacking toward Gong Chen and his companion.
"Nephew, since breaking through to the True Essence Immortal Realm, your uncle hasn't had much chance to fight. Even when seeking sparring partners on the island, I always ended up being bullied. So now, let your uncle handle these small fry for you."
Gong Chen smiled coldly and flew out like lightning.
His power at the late stage of True Essence Immortal Realm was unmistakable.
With one palm strike.
Space itself trembled.
Countless Xi Ning City experts were sent flying back, falling into the city like dumplings dropping into water.
"What?"
"Late stage True Essence Immortal Realm?"
Seeing this, Li Qingxuan's face turned cold.
She immediately realized that without calling her master, they couldn't handle someone of this strength. She quickly took out a jade slip to send a message.
"No need to send a message."
Just as she took out the jade slip, from deep within Xi Ning City, a man with disheveled hair emerged, carrying a heavy pressure as he walked through the air.
Seeing him, countless people knelt down.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Region Lord."
The man nodded slightly, waved his hand, and a force enveloped Li Qingxuan, gently lifting her to his side.
"Qing'er, what's going on?"
"It was caused by an elder at the late stage of True Essence Immortal Realm whom Lu Chong brought," Li Qingxuan said with lowered head.
"Lu Chong?"
The man pondered for a moment before saying, "Ah, the boy you have a marriage contract with, right?"
"Exactly!"
Li Qingxuan said.
"Come with me!"
The man moved his hand, and a force lifted Li Qingxuan as they flew like lightning.
In the next moment, they appeared before Lu Chong and Gong Chen, hovering in the air.
"So the main character has finally appeared?"
Gong Chen raised his lips in a smile.
"You were looking for me?"
The man's sharp gaze fixed on the two of them, naturally carrying the air of a superior, his voice filled with overwhelming pressure.
"That's right, we were looking for you."
Gong Chen smiled faintly, "We came today to resolve their marriage contract once and for all."
"Is that so?"
The man gave a cold smile, his expression unreadable, then turned his gaze to Li Qingxuan and asked calmly, "Qing'er, what do you think?"
Li Qingxuan let out a cold laugh.
She raised her head slightly to look at Lu Chong and said mockingly, "Lu Chong, though I don't know how you managed to acquaint yourself with an expert of the late stage True Essence Immortal Realm, do you think bringing him here to show off will make me look up to you?"
"No matter how strong the elder beside you is, that's not your own strength. You're still worthless."
"What's even more laughable is that you imagine having this elder challenge my master would give you the leverage to negotiate with him as an equal."
"Little do you know how ridiculous this idea is."
"Because he's still not worthy to face my master. No matter how strong one is in the True Essence Immortal Realm, they're still in that realm. Compared to the Star Immortal Realm, there's still a whole major realm of difference!"
Regarding Li Qingxuan's words.
The man, Li Hongtian, seemed very pleased.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Chen with mockery, saying, "As my disciple said, you don't have what it takes to challenge me!"
"I don't have time to waste with you, so, prepare to die!"
Watching this master and disciple pair talking endlessly among themselves, Lu Chong finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward from beside Gong Chen.
"I think you two have misunderstood something."
"The one challenging you isn't my uncle, but me."

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie!

The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.
