Upon seeing the familiar figure in front of him, Wu Junyan quickly recognized that the person was Lin Jin.

"Elder Lin Jin."

"Why are you here...?"

He quickly realized that his master must be worried about his safety, which was why he had Lin Jin protect him secretly. He couldn't help but feel touched.

"You've done a great job."

"Leave the rest to me."

Gu Hui's gaze quickly fell on Lin Jin, as he had clearly heard what the other man had said earlier.

From the Misty Sect?

He had learned about all the sects in the Eastern Wilderness, but he had never heard of this so-called Misty Sect.

He quickly concluded that this must be a small, unknown sect, and so he spoke:

"Sir, this is a matter concerning my Aikun Sect. Please do not make a fuss about it."

"Otherwise, you'd better think carefully about whether you can withstand the wrath of the ten Purple Mansion Elders of my sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jin almost burst out laughing.

He thought they were going to make a big move, but they pulled a huge one instead, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"An elder at the Purple Mansion Realm?"

"That piece of trash isn't even worthy of carrying our Misty Sect's shoes."

Everyone around was shocked by these words.

Unexpectedly, this unknown sect doesn't even respect the Aikun Sect; they're practically courting death.

"In that case, let's send you and this little beast on your way together."

"go..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jin gave him a single glance, and Gu Hui's body instantly exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist and dissipating into the space.

Everyone, including the Wu family, was completely stunned.

"No way? What kind of monsters are in the Misty Sect?! This guy was a half-step Purple Mansion Realm cultivator! He was instantly killed?"

"Doesn't that mean this senior's cultivation level is that of a powerful expert in the Ten Directions Realm, above the Purple Mansion Realm? Otherwise, how could he possibly possess such terrifying offensive techniques!"

"Ten Directions Realm! Absolutely terrifying! I never imagined there would be a hidden second-tier sect in our Eastern Wilderness! No wonder Wu Junyan seemed so confident from beginning to end. It's true that having a powerful backer makes one incredibly shrewd!"

“...”

Seeing Lin Jin's terrifying methods, someone from the Aikun Sect shouted out.

"run..."

"Run!"

Before anyone could move, Lin Jin snapped his fingers again.

Dozens of figures were seen turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Of the original camp, only Liu Ruyan remained all alone.

His trembling body could be vaguely seen; finally, unable to withstand the fear in his heart, he knelt down directly in the direction of Wu Junyan.

"Jun...Jun Yan, please, give me a chance..."

"I...I'm still innocent. I can come back to you anytime you want, and I promise I can make you happy..."

Upon hearing this, a look of disgust flashed in Wu Junyan's eyes.

Although the two families had a previous marriage agreement, he and Liu Ruyan had only met once and had no feelings for each other whatsoever.

If Liu Ruyan could still be as assertive as before, he might think more highly of her.

Now, he looks no different from the lowly Mu Gou.

How could one remain clean while surrounded by someone like Cai Kun? Even Liu Ruyan herself probably wouldn't believe it if she heard this.

Seeing that Wu Junyan still did not react, Liu Ruyan knelt down and slowly crawled to his feet, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Jun...Jun Yan, I...I really know I was wrong..."

"I shouldn't have come to the Wu family to break off the engagement, nor should I have been with Cai Kun. He forced me to do all these things..."

"I...I was forced into this situation..."

Wu Junyan shook his head, his eyes filled with pity.

"You know you're wrong."

"All you know is that you're going to die..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

With a swing of his spirit sword, a head flew off.

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened; she couldn't believe, even in death, that Wu Junyan would actually kill her.

Turning around slowly, Wu Junyan looked at the Wu family members.

"Alright, the problem has been solved."

"Now it's time for us to settle accounts..."

Wu Lin stood at the very front of the main seat, his expression hardening before he quickly managed a smile.

"Junyan, look at what you're saying, we're all on the same side."

"What liquidation or anything like that..."

"One of our own?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Junyan interrupted him, his cold gaze sweeping towards Wu Xian and the others.

Do you think I care about your little Wu family?

"Wu Xian, get down here!"

"Have you forgotten how you treated our lineage back then?"

"Kneel down and kowtow to my father."

Wu Xian's expression grew increasingly grim. With Wu Junyan's abilities, even Cai Kun was no match for him, let alone him.

Moreover, Wu Junyan now has a hidden second-tier sect behind him, which is something that a mere elder of the Wu family cannot afford to offend.

"Jun...Jun Yan...I...there's a misunderstanding between us..."

“I was only thinking of the Wu family back then, I didn’t mean to target your lineage.”

Wu Junyan's gaze remained calm, but his expression grew increasingly cold.

"I'll say it one last time."

"Kneel or die, the choice is yours..."

As he spoke, he slowly raised the spiritual sword in his hand. In just a moment, his spiritual power had already broken through to the third level of the Dao Palace Realm.

Only then did the Wu family members realize just how powerful Wu Junyan truly was.

At the age of twenty, Wu Junyan has already condensed his sword intent at the Dao Palace Realm. His future stage will no longer be limited to the Eastern Wilderness, but will extend to the entire Azure Domain.

"three"

"two"

Just as the spirit sword was about to be unleashed, Wu Xian knelt down directly in front of Wu Xiao.

"It was my fault..."

I'm referring to your lineage!

"Everyone, kneel down and apologize to my father!"
