But then, under Wu's watchful gaze, he suppressed these emotions.

It seemed like his delusion, or perhaps just a fleeting moment.

Su Yang continued, "However, since it was my mother who arranged this marriage for me..."

Since I can't refuse anyway, I might as well leave it at that.

As he spoke, Su Yang revealed a carefree smile.

The reflection in his eyes made him feel that there was nothing else in the world.

Only that smile.

Then, a brief silence ensued.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Strangely enough, after listening to what this silly woman had to say, he found that what she had said earlier didn't make him so angry anymore.

It's like, suddenly you realize, that nothing really matters anymore.

It was as if her feeling that she couldn't win wasn't something he found hard to accept anymore.

However, the anger has subsided.

He realized that this silly woman in front of him was genuinely worried about him.

He would go to such lengths for him.

I would rather give my whole life to ensure his well-being.

However, Wu had no intention of dispelling the black energy cage and releasing Su Yang.

Although the cage appears to be trapping Su Yang, it actually serves to protect him.

In the ensuing battle, she was only at the peak of the Grandmaster level; without intervention, she wouldn't be able to withstand the attack.

He stepped forward and walked to the cage.

A hand slipped through the gap and, under Su Yang's astonished gaze, covered his profile.

Su Yang didn't dodge.

This time is different from before.

It is devoid of any other desires, only possessing a gentle tenderness.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong."

He's better than anyone you've ever met.

Similarly, you don't need to worry about your engagement.

Because I will help you.

No one can force you to do something you don't want to.

The voice was soft, yet firm.

As if infected by him, Su Yang nodded as if possessed.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of peace, as if everything was no longer a problem.

Wu smiled gently at him.

He then waved his hand, causing him to disappear from the main hall.

Next, he will face four destinys head-on, leaving him no time to be distracted.

They sensed the four people who had appeared outside the Imperial Palace.

Unlike the reincarnation of that artifact, those four were the targets he had been waiting for.

"We came together."

It seems you care about her.

However, she is destined not to go with you.

A soft murmur.

Then his figure slowly rose into the air.

He was all alone.

At this moment, he was still unsure of what kind of feelings he had for that silly woman.

But at least, after this contact, he is different from before.

At this moment, he no longer regarded Su Yang as a counterfeit or a substitute.

She might indeed look a lot like the person in his mind.

But she was just herself, not anyone else.

He could no longer treat her like a disposable item.

If it were the beginning, and he were to fight against the four destinies, he would definitely bring Su Yang along.

After all, this was part of his plan.

Its purpose is to make the four people hesitant to act, preventing them from exerting their full strength, thus indirectly weakening them.

But at this moment, he could no longer do so.

"Enough. Why bother using those underhanded methods on you?"

How much do you know about the authority of the gods on earth?

It seemed as if she was speaking to Su Chen and the others, but it also seemed as if she was speaking to herself.

And then Wu finished speaking.

The Imperial Palace, which had always been closed.

It slowly opened under the watchful eyes of Xia Lian and the other four!

With her heart set on Xu Wan, Xia Lian saw the Divine Palace open.

He immediately stopped his attack and then dashed inside.

Su Chen and his group of four were equally quick.

They then entered the main hall.

Upon entering the Imperial Palace, Xia Lian first scanned the entire hall, trying to find Su Yang's figure.

But it was all empty.

Apart from the suspended man, Su Yang was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did you hide her?"

Xia Lian questioned in an angry voice, after Su Chen and the others had wasted time earlier.

In addition, I can't find any apprentices now.

Xia Lian is about to go crazy.

If she had known Su Yang's whereabouts, she would have already made her move.

But Wu only glanced at Xia Lian.

Then his gaze went directly past her and looked behind her.

At this moment, the four streaks of light also materialized.

"Beat me, and you'll find her."

Looking at Su Chen and the other three, he said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lian's anger surged again.

Then, a single strike of starlight purple light was directed at Wu.

I no longer wanted to waste my breath on him.

But no matter how strong she was in the past, at this moment she is only at the level of a King.

When unleashed at full power, he can contend with the Supreme Emperor of the Imperial Path.

However, it posed no threat to those who were at the Saint Realm and were extremely special.

There was no movement, not even a glance at the purple starlight.

The attack passed right through his body.

Then they all bombarded the main hall and exploded.

This triggers a strong energy fluctuation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Palace had Imperial Weapons as its foundation, even a sacred artifact would likely have been damaged by this attack.

"Your true form is actually the Purple Star Ring."

Unfortunately, if your supreme Dao artifact were here, it could still suppress me in my current state.

But you, in your mortal form, no longer possess that ability.

Xia Lian's attack was immediately seen through by Wu.

He shook his head and said.

His tone was even more disdainful.

Living gods possess absolute authority that transcends all others.
