Daliang Empire, Black Dragon City.
Black Dragon City is a major city in the northern border of the Daliang Empire, bustling and teeming with strong figures, including plenty of Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters.
The Yan Family is one of the four great clans of Black Dragon City, immensely powerful and ranked second, with a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster seated within.
At this moment, inside the Yan Family’s main hall, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
“Does it have to be this way?”
The man seated at the head was a middle-aged man looking at the three figures in the hall, his tone tinged with a hint of anger.
“Yan Family head, you know this isn’t up to me, nor is it up to you, we have no choice.”
The one answering the Yan Family head was an elder in black clothes, his eyes and brows exuding authority, clearly accustomed to a high position.
He was the Shen Family’s Great Elder, Shen Wen.
Among the four great families in Black Dragon City, Yan Family was ranked second, and the Shen Family was ranked first!
“What if I don’t agree?”
The head of the Yan Family clenched his fists tightly, his tone cold, his eyes filled with humiliation, anger, and unwillingness.
Standing next to the Shen Family’s Great Elder was a young-looking cultivator in purple robes.
Hearing this, he said indifferently, “Then the Yan Family will be annihilated in an instant.”
The young man in purple spoke plainly, his demeanor haughty, his words forceful and domineering.
A murderous intent flickered in the depths of the Yan Family head’s eyes.
After glancing at another figure beside the Shen Family’s Great Elder, he addressed Shen Wen gravely, “Shen Wen, do you share this opinion?”
While the atmosphere in the main hall was becoming increasingly tense,
in Black Dragon City, a joyful young man in brocaded clothes was swiftly making his way toward the Yan Family residence.
He was eager to share the great news with his father.
He was the eldest son of the head of the Yan Family, named Yan Nanxiao, a renowned prodigy in Black Dragon City.
Even in the vast Daliang Empire, he held a respectable reputation.
Yan Nanxiao, at only twenty-one this year, possessed Fourth Grade aptitude and had already reached the peak of the Pihai Realm, but this was merely what the outside world knew.
In fact, Yan Nanxiao stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter years ago, his aptitude rising to Third Grade.
His cultivation had already broken through to the Gangyuan Realm, and he was close to the latter stages of the Gangyuan Realm now.
Today, Yan Nanxiao had chanced upon a piece of bronze fragment in the city that he felt was quite extraordinary.
After haggling with the stall owner, he finally purchased it for one hundred and thirty-five Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
After the transaction was successful, a sly smile appeared on the stall owner’s face.
He’d managed to swindle another gullible youth.
He had bought the bronze fragment for half a Lower Grade Spirit Stone and had tested it; it was only somewhat hard.
The profit of over a hundred times had the stall owner’s face nearly splitting with glee.
Passing cultivators gave Yan Nanxiao sympathetic looks—it was clear who was the naive rich kid, easily fooled despite his wealth.
But Yan Nanxiao didn’t see it that way.
When he had accidentally glanced at the piece of bronze, he had felt it was extraordinary and upon obtaining it, discovered a fleeting warm flow.
That’s why Yan Nanxiao decided to buy it and then left without looking back.
The moment he turned around, a smile emerged on his face.
Every five breaths, Yan Nanxiao could feel a warm flow through the bronze fragment in his palm, firmly believing it to be a treasure.
Perhaps it was part of a Heaven Rank Artifact or even a Divine Weapon, its value far exceeding a hundred and more Lower Grade Spirit Stones; if it was part of an imperial weapon, then he would be truly fortunate.
Therefore, Yan Nanxiao was in a hurry to return home, hoping for his father, a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, to appraise it with his extensive knowledge and experience.
But just as he reached the street where the Yan Family resided, Yan Nanxiao saw a family servant rushing out in a panic, his face filled with urgency.
A shadow crossed Yan Nanxiao’s eyes—could something have happened to the family?
Yan Nanxiao quickly approached and stopped the family servant, asking in a deep voice, “A Yong, what’s happened that has you in such a hurry?”
Upon seeing Yan Nanxiao, relief washed over the servant’s face.
He hurriedly said, “Young Master, it’s terrible.
I was on my way to find you.
You should hurry back and see for yourself.”
“Talk as we walk.”
Yan Nanxiao’s pupils contracted as he pulled A Yong and quickly returned to the Yan Family.
“Young Master, I passed by the main hall earlier and saw the Shen Family’s young miss and the Great Elder there.
I happened to hear their purpose.
It seems like they want to annul an engagement, so you should hurry back.”
Yan Nanxiao let go of A Yong, his blood boiling with rage, the joy on his face replaced by shock and fury.
He dashed into the Yan Family home and arrived at the main hall.
He was about to enter when he heard his father confront the Shen Family’s Great Elder with “What if I don’t agree?” Yan Nanxiao stomped his foot and stopped outside for the moment.
Listening to the conversation inside, Yan Nanxiao’s face was expressionless, but his heart burned with rage.
Inside the main hall,
The Shen Family’s Great Elder sighed.
Just as the young man in purple was about to speak, the Great Elder shook his head at him, signifying that he would handle it.
The young man in purple huffed coldly but did not overstep his place.
“Yan Ge, you may take this as my opinion.
I hope you won’t act recklessly, as the consequences are more than you can bear,” said the Shen Family’s Great Elder somberly.
He and the head of the Yan Family were considered friends with a deep relationship.
Before this incident, the Shen Family and Yan Family’s relationship had been good, jointly dominating over half of Black Dragon City’s resources.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Wen had personally come to the Yan Family to call off the marriage.
He hoped to give Yan Ge an explanation, to leave him some dignity.
Otherwise, Shen Wen could have simply notified the Yan Family with a message, unilaterally breaking off the engagement.
Even if the Yan Family was dissatisfied, unwilling, or angry, what could they do?
The Shen Family was already somewhat stronger than the Yan Family, and, moreover, the order to annul the marriage came from the main house.
The Shen Family branch in Black Dragon City had to execute this, and anyone who dared to block it would be suppressed.
