Chapter 225: The Undying Nether Emperor (6)
Chen Tianyi regretted everything deeply. Once again, he experienced the deception and cruelty of the cultivation world. He had traveled thousands of miles to the Sunset Cloud Sect with generous gifts to meet his betrothal partner and finalize the marriage alliance.
In the end, the Sunset Cloud Sect Master told him that the woman standing beside the so-called peerless beauty—the one who looked like a flower. But Chen Tianyi never imagined that it was a Rafflesia.
Chen Tianyi wanted to leave immediately. Unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of the entire Sunset Cloud Sect, he had no choice but to accept the marriage. He had no other option. If he dared to break the engagement, he might not leave the Sunset Cloud Sect alive today.
The sect had a Spirit Soul realm expert guarding it, an entire major realm above the Green Mist Sect. Breaking the marriage would be a direct slap to their face. Even if the sect master killed him, the Green Mist Sect would have nothing to say.
Chen Tianyi could only accept the marriage contract with tears in his eyes. However, the situation soon took a turn. A beast tide erupted in the mountain range near the Sunset Cloud Sect. A demon beast had broken through to the Demon King realm and began slaughtering the surrounding forces to consolidate its cultivation. The Sunset Cloud Sect was caught in the chaos as hordes of demon beasts followed the Demon King in a bloody feast.
The entire sect rose to resist the invasion. Blood flowed like rivers. Countless mortals died, and even many of the sect's cultivators perished in waves.
Chen Tianyi witnessed the brutal scene. He watched the elder who had arranged this disastrous marriage get swallowed whole by a powerful demon beast during battle.
The Sunset Cloud Sect Master fought desperately to protect his disciples, battling two Spirit Soul realm demon beasts at once. He severely wounded both before dying from exhaustion. His final wish was that his daughter could live safely and happily.
Chen Tianyi tearfully agreed. As the Sunset Cloud Sect teetered on the brink of destruction, a streak of black light flashed like a comet and slaughtered the two heavily injured Spirit Soul realm demon beasts.
