Chapter 1244 - 1235: Wang Yuanfei
"Xinyue, you’re back."
Upon arriving at the Du Family gate, as the group just stepped inside, they were greeted by many people approaching them.
Among them was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, the current head of the Du Family, Du Qianhai.
He was one of the few top masters in Wanhong City who had reached the level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"How did the Outer Heaven Sect’s assessment go?"
Du Qianhai looked at Du Xinyue, asking with some anticipation in his eyes.
"I failed, could not pass..."
Du Xinyue sighed, speaking in this manner.
Hearing this, the anticipation in Du Qianhai’s eyes also disappeared, but he wasn’t too disappointed.
Because upon seeing Du Xinyue return, he had already guessed some of the outcome.
"So be it, the Outer Heaven Sect is merely one of the Three Sacred Lands of Ning State, to fail is to fail, soon, the Qianyuan Sect will also hold an entrance assessment, at that time..."
"Father, Wang Yuanfei is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qianyuan Sect, if I go to participate in the Qianyuan Sect’s assessment, he will certainly make things difficult, and try to stop me. Even if I am lucky enough to enter the Qianyuan Sect, with Wang Yuanfei there, it will not be smooth for me either." Du Xinyue frowned and said.
Beside them, Du Ze, full of anger, said, "The Wang Family is simply too much, forcing the young lady to marry, if we don’t agree, and the young lady participates in the Qianyuan Sect’s assessment, they will surely obstruct it. Among the Three Sacred Lands, the Qianyuan Sect’s assessment is the easiest, with the young lady’s strength, joining as an Outer Disciple is no difficult matter. This Wang Family... sigh..."
"The Wang Family wishes to marry into the Du Family, probably intending to use this to annex our Du Family, how can we agree to this. Moreover, it concerns Xinyue’s future, I cannot agree to it under any circumstance. We should think of another solution." Du Qianhai said.
Afterwards, the group entered the main hall and sat down one by one. Only then did Du Qianhai notice Mo Wangchen’s presence, and he couldn’t help showing a hint of surprise on his face, "And this young friend is...?"
"I am Mo Wangchen, from the Land of Desolate," Mo Wangchen, who had just sat down, heard Du Qianhai’s inquiry, stood up again and cupped his hands.
"Little Friend Mo encountered a spatial storm..."
Du Ze briefly explained the situation to Du Qianhai.
After hearing this, Du Qianhai nodded, "Spatial storms are extremely rare, with countless cultivators traveling across the Void Realm, the number of encounters with spatial storms can be counted on one hand, Little Friend Mo is indeed fortunate to have survived such a great ordeal, so please recover your injuries at our Du Family first."
"Thank you!" Mo Wangchen cupped his hands and said.
"Family Head, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, at that moment, a servant ran in from outside the main hall.
"What matter has you in such a panic?" Du Qianhai scolded softly, frowning.
"The Wang Family... Wang Family people have arrived, forcibly breaking in and injuring many clan members."
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall couldn’t help but stand, Du Qianhai’s face was even more filled with rage, "Has the Wang Family become so lawless, daring to barge into our Du Family like this?!"
"Haha, Uncle’s words are incorrect, the marriage between the Du and Wang families is imminent. These servants have been disrespectful, daring to offend me, the future son-in-law, they indeed deserve to be punished."
A light laughter reached everyone’s ears, looking out, they saw a young man walking in at the hall’s entrance, following him were two old men, their auras extraordinary.
"Wang Yuanfei, what do you mean by this, when did I ever agree to marry you?" Du Xinyue stood out, shouting in anger.
"Miss Xinyue, I’m afraid you have no choice in this matter. I will return to Qianyuan Sect, before that, our matters must be settled, whether you agree or not." Wang Yuanfei smiled, emanating a sense of undeniable authority.
"How presumptuous!"
Du Qianhai coldly shouted, his gaze fierce, "Wang Yuanfei, are you trying to force a marriage? What do you take my Du Family for?!"
After speaking, the aura of his entire being at the Heavenly Immortal Realm couldn’t help but erupt, the wild aura shattered the tables and chairs in the hall.
"Du Qianhai, I grant you respect by calling you uncle, do not be ungrateful." Wang Yuanfei’s complexion also turned slightly cold at this moment, looking at Du Qianhai with disdain in his eyes.
"Even if your father Wang Yuan were here, he would not dare speak to me like this, how audacious you brat!"
Du Qianhai was utterly enraged, as soon as his voice fell, he directly attacked.
"Buzz..."
He struck Wang Yuanfei with an open palm, seemingly casually, but it carried the immense power of a Heavenly Immortal expert, unstoppable.
"Boom!"
However, to everyone’s astonishment, facing Du Qianhai’s strike, Wang Yuanfei neither dodged nor retreated but rather struck back with his own palm.
The collision erupted instantly, making the entire Du Family tremble violently as if the earth itself was shaking.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Wang Yuanfei actually neutralize his attack, Du Qianhai was surprised, "Late Stage True Immortal Realm?!"
He sensed an aura on Wang Yuanfei, having reached the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm, if he advances one step further, he could step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm and be on par with himself.
Otherwise, Wang Yuanfei could not have neutralized his strike just now.
"Over the years in entering Qianyuan Sect, my strength has long surpassed your imagination. Miss Xinyue marrying me brings great advantages to your Du Family, why be so stubborn, Uncle?" Wang Yuanfei sneered, without a trace of fear on his face as he spoke.
"What of the Late Stage True Immortal Realm?"
Du Qianhai coldly hummed with a stern face, continuing, "You alone are not qualified to act recklessly in my Du Family."
After speaking, he was about to exert his full strength, determined to teach Wang Yuanfei a lesson, otherwise, how could he hold his face high as the head of the Du Family, now being oppressed like this?
"Du Family Master, I advise you not to act rashly."
Yet at this moment, two powerful auras suddenly erupted within the hall. The two old men accompanying Wang Yuanfei stepped forward, their auras clearly no weaker than Du Qianhai’s, evidently being Heavenly Immortal Realm experts!
"Qianyuan Sect experts?!"
Du Qianhai’s face showed shock. While two Heavenly Immortal Realm experts might not count for much within the entire Void Realm, they were undoubtedly top-tier figures within Ning State.
Although the Wang Family is one of the two major families of Wanhong City, its Heavenly Immortal expert was only the family head Wang Yuan.
Now the two old men accompanying Wang Yuanfei were undoubtedly from the Qianyuan Sect!
"Miss Xinyue, at this point, you should see the situation clearly, now return with me to the Wang Family, tonight we shall bow to heaven and earth, otherwise..."
Wang Yuanfei sneered, his gaze sweeping over the entire hall, finally landing on Du Xinyue.
Du Xinyue bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, tightly clenching her fists, clearly filled with unwillingness.
But by now, she also knew that if she did not agree today, her Du Family was likely in for a major disaster.
"Father, for the sake of the family..."
Finally, she sighed, not finishing her words as she was about to leave with Wang Yuanfei.
"Miss Xinyue, such a scoundrel, why must you yield to him, today with me here, no one can force you."
Just then, Mo Wangchen, who had been sitting in place without speaking, finally stood out.
