Everyone turned to look at me, feeling that today was truly unexpected; another strange piece of knowledge had been gained…

After Murong Xuanxuan realized what was happening, her face immediately turned as red as it could possibly be…

"Tuoba Wudi, you are shameless..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. You haven't counted them with your tongue, how do you know I have no teeth?"

Everyone felt like they didn't have enough brain cells left; it took them ages to process every word I said...

"I'm going to kill you..."

Murong Xuanxuan was on the verge of a breakdown. These words were too disgusting to bear. Counting teeth with the tongue—she couldn't even imagine the image, let alone that it came from her former father-in-law…

"It's not that I look down on you, but you can't even beat this maidservant of mine..."

Upon hearing my words, Murong Xuanxuan indeed lost her temper and roared angrily.

"Nonsense! How could a disciple of the dignified Demon Cloud Sect be defeated by a mere maid? Today I'll show you the power of the Demon Cloud Sect! You lowly maid, come out and let me kill you..."

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at her. Putting aside who killed whom, her constant use of "lowly maid" was incredibly offensive...

"Hmph! It's shameful to fight a piece of trash like you, but since you dared to insult my master, I'll reluctantly defeat you..."

mad…

Even though Shi Miaomiao is the Holy Maiden of the Heartless Demon Sect, she has no right to speak here. Yet, the arrogance and confidence she displays now are as if she were a completely different person…

Murong Xuanxuan charged straight at Shi Miaomiao; it was clear to everyone that she truly intended to kill her…

But to everyone's surprise, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew up, and the scene before Murong Xuanxuan's eyes changed in an instant...

Illusion!

Although Murong Xuanxuan realized what had happened, she couldn't break free from the illusion's influence...

Before she could react, a cold wind swept behind her, followed by an unfamiliar force that surged into her meridians, completely sealing her power and rendering her unable to resist…

But to outsiders, it looked as if Murong Xuanxuan had deliberately flown over, only to be caught by Shi Miaomiao while standing still. The whole scene looked ridiculous and laughable.

When Shi Miaomiao dispelled the illusion, Murong Xuanxuan returned to the real world. She felt like a little chick being held in Shi Miaomiao's hand...

This is so shameful...

Always proud and arrogant, she had never suffered such humiliation. She glared at Shi Miaomiao with immense anger. If looks could kill, Shi Miaomiao would probably be riddled with holes by now…

This is the Great Gathering of Prodigies, and she has essentially lost face in front of the entire Demonic Path. Even if she manages to escape unscathed, she will become a laughingstock throughout the Demonic Path…

But no matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail; she could only accept the reality of being captured…

This scene shocked everyone. Both of them were at the sixth-grade Grandmaster level, so how could their combat power be so different?

Moreover, Murong Xuanxuan was born into the Demon Cloud Sect, and her cultivation techniques were absolutely top-notch, yet she was still utterly crushed...

I find these people's reactions amusing. This technique is only the first level, and the power it has shown is just the tip of the iceberg, yet it has shocked them so much. If the complete technique were to appear here, what would the consequences be? They'd probably beat people to a pulp...

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of everyone; my temper is really quite volatile..."

My words brought everyone back to reality from their shock, and then I pretended to scold Shi Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao, let go of Murong Xuanxuan! This is my former daughter-in-law. Although she has already broken off the engagement, she is still a proud and noble woman. Aren't you trampling on her self-esteem?"

You should have just exchanged a few blows and pretended to lose the match. How hurtful was that to her? How could she face anyone afterward? You, a maid, may not care about your reputation, but she is of noble birth and cares about her dignity. How painful must she be to be defeated like that? You have absolutely no sense of social etiquette…”

Everyone's lips twitched when they heard my words, and they were all thinking to themselves, "Are you a devil? We've already won, why do you have to humiliate them like this?"

What you're saying sounds like you're thinking of Murong Xuanxuan's best interests, but it actually sounds like you're belittling and trampling on her self-esteem while simultaneously mentioning Versailles...

puff…

Unable to bear the humiliation and provocation, Murong Xuanxuan coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted...

Murong Xuanxuan's last thought was, "It's better if I faint; I really hope everything is destroyed..."

“Holy Son Yuanxiu, I am but a mortal and do not understand the rules among you cultivators. Will you take this person back yourself, or will my maidservant deliver her to you? After all, she is the stake…”

Yuan Xiu's face was extremely embarrassed. He was really on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had originally wanted to break Tuoba San's mentality, but not only did I break the deadlock, I also ended up being outmaneuvered...

Most importantly, he now has no outlet for his strength, and his chest feels tight...

No matter how humiliating it was, Yuan Xiu had no choice but to bring Murong Xuanxuan back…

This wasn't just because Murong Xuanxuan was a pawn, but also because she had other uses; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring her back to the Demon Cloud Sect...

If I had known that Tuoba San would end up like this, perhaps I wouldn't have used such a highly humiliating method as announcing the engagement...

But it's too late to say anything now; we can only swallow our anger and suffer in silence...

A rope flew from Yuan Xiu's hand, binding Murong Xuanxuan tightly. Yuan Xiu then pulled her back to his side, entrusting her to his men's care...

"Brother Tuoba, your father really is... making things difficult for us..."

Yuan Xiu suppressed his emotional turmoil and uttered these words, but Tuoba San seemed oblivious to the displeasure in his voice, instead smiling and saying...

"Brother Yuan, please don't take offense. My father is a bit blunt, but he doesn't mean any harm. If you really can't stand him, I'll let you vent your anger with a couple of moves later..."

Tuoba San's words made Yuan Xiu's lips twitch, and he subconsciously clutched his chest. This humiliation was even stronger than before. They really were father and son; even their words were so infuriating...

Yuan Xiu couldn't help but think to himself, "Me, the Holy Son of the Demon Cloud Sect, do I need you to give me a couple of moves? We're fighting for fairness and justice. Aren't you implying that you're stronger than me? Is there any way to be so humiliating?"

"No need. Since it's a duel, there's no need for modesty..."

Yuan Xiu tried his best to suppress his emotions and said...

"Brother Yuan is indeed very thoughtful, but I will try to hold back..."

Upon hearing Tuoba San's words, Yuan Xiu nearly exploded, thinking to himself, "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Is that what I meant?"

"I think you shouldn't hold back anymore. Let's have a battle of epic proportions, witnessed by all the prodigies of the demonic path..."

Yuan Xiu had originally intended to fight discreetly, but now he had to earn back some face for himself…
