Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

F*ck! Yi Zhong’s lips twitched, and he wanted to utter dirty words. Now, he was sure the possession mentioned by Xu Que was a deception. He hadn’t sensed any Soul Strength when he was in the Jade Lake. He had made a foolish decision, which had been used by Xu Que to beat him up while he was not able to fight back.

The point was that he had become a laughingstock in Tianxiang City because of this issue. Now, Xu Que was trying to use the old trick again, which totally annoyed Yi Zhong who was so anxious to kill Xu Que. However, Xu Que was even faster on his feet than Yi Zhong. He pointed at him and shouted, “My young friend Yi Zhong, what are you waiting for? Come here and let my son’s soul possess your body! Otherwise, nobody can leave this place today!”

“How dare you!” Yi Zhong shouted angrily and was about to attack Xu Que. Seeing that, Bai Cailing, who was standing beside Xu Que, waved her hand to create an energy shield. Then she placed the shield between Xu Que and Yi Zhong.

“My fellow cultivator, what are you going to do? If Elder Xu hadn’t helped you, all of you would have been killed in your bloody fight!” Bai Cailing said as she stared at Yi Zhong coldly.

“Holy Virgin, don’t you know he is fooling us?” Yi Zhong said angrily, but he stopped his attack for he didn’t want to fight with Bai Cailing. He was very angry for everyone knew Xu Que was humiliating him deliberately. Bai Cailing chose to defend Xu Que, which totally frustrated Yi Zhong.

“Elder Xu is the Jade Lake’s distinguished guest. He is wounded but still chose to help you! Are you going to return his kindness with hatred?” Bai Cailing said coldly.

Xu Que sighed as he shook his head, “Alas! The moral degradation of the world is getting worse day by day! Forget it! My daughter-in-law, if my young friend Yi Zhong really hates me, just let him kill me!”

Daughter-in-law? Hearing that, people from all the other sects got wide-eyed and looked at Bai Cailing in disbelief. When did the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake get married? It turns out she is this old man’s daughter-in-law!

“Old fart, how dare you stain the Holy Virgin’s reputation?” Yi Zhong shouted angrily again.

“Stop!” Bai Cailing stopped Yi Zhong with embarrassment. Although she had agreed to honor the marriage certificate, which she believed would be terminated by Xu Que, she didn’t want to publicize this news. Now, Xu Que had announced it in front of so many people, but she was not able to deny it.

“What Elder Xu said is correct! I have been engaged to Xu Que. From now on, I will be Elder Xu’s daughter-in-law!” Bai Cailing said calmly, her heart filled with a weird feeling. She thought she would never utter those words. However, when she did, inexplicably, she didn’t have any conflict in her heart as if the marriage was totally acceptable for her.

At the same time, the rest of the people in this area were shocked by Bai Cailing’s words. People from the Jade Lake knew this already. However, people from the rest of the sects, who didn’t know about this issue, were totally shocked. How could the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake be engaged to a nobody? Yi Zhong was even more angry now. He had just left the Jade Lake for a few days. The marriage certificate denied by the Jade Lake had become effective now!

“Holy Virgin, are you sure about this?” Yi Zhong asked as he stared at Bai Cailing coldly as if warning her. When he left for the Jade Lake from the Divine Farmer Clan, the Jade Lake’s Holy Mother was visiting the Taiyin Celestial Realm. She even talked about the marriage with the leader of the Divine Farmer Clan. Both of them agreed to the marriage between the Holy Virgin and the Holy Son. So he decided to go to the Jade Lake to take the initiative. Of course, he also knew Bai Cailing would still marry the Holy Son of the Divine Farmer Clan even if he failed.

Now, Bai Cailing had announced the marriage with Xu Que in front of so many people, which meant the marriage agreement between the Jade Lake and the Divine Farmer Clan had been terminated. For Yi Zhong, this was a great shame. After all, everybody knew he was pursuing the Holy Virgin. So, this was a great humiliation for him.

“My fellow cultivator, it’s not up to you to make carping comments on my issues!” Bai Cailing replied calmly. Her words made Yi Zhong look like a fool in front of so many people.

Bai Cailing was not a puppet like the Holy Virgins of other sects. She knew what she wanted. Even the Holy Mother was not able to force her to accept marriage with people from the Divine Farmer Clan! Moreover, she chose to support Xu Que for the sake of the Jade Lake. When Xu Que revived the peach trees, the Jade Lake would become a powerful sect and didn’t need to fear the Divine Farmer Clan anymore.

“Okay, good! Very good!” Yi Zhong smiled and stepped back as he stared at Bai Cailing and Xu Que with resentment. At this time, the sovereigns of the rest of the sects also started to look at Xu Que carefully. They didn’t know why Bai Cailing would change her attitude for this frail old man who was just at the Half-Celestial Stage.

“As the Holy Virgin said, this place is too dangerous! Let’s leave here as soon as possible! Guys, let’s take out the soul fragments. Don’t try to hide any or all of us will be trapped in this place!” A sovereign said at this time. His name was Ji Wuyun, a sovereign of the Dark Shadow Pagoda from the Qisha Celestial Realm. He had reached the Medium Stage of the Heaven Celestial Stage and was almost as powerful as the Holy Son of his sect. He withdrew from the competition for the Holy Son because his competitor was his elder brother.

Bai Cailing respected this sovereign very much. So she said, nodding her head, “Just now we’ve checked this place. If we want to move forward, we have to reunite the remnant soul to suppress the restrictive spells on this altar!”

The rest of the people in this area were speechless. Apparently, they understood the situation very well. If they wanted to move forward, all of them had to take out the soul fragments obtained by them. But they could obtain the inheritance in the soul fragment if they chose to leave this place now. So they had two options.

At the very beginning, seven sovereigns obtained a soul fragment each. However, one sovereign was killed by the restrictive spell and his soul fragment was obtained by Ji Wuyun. Therefore, the remaining six sovereigns had to make a choice. If they wanted to move forward, they had to hand over the soul fragments obtained by them. If any one of them decided to leave here, the situation would become quite complicated because those who wanted to move forward wouldn’t allow that!

“Sorry, guys, we suffered great casualties in this combat. I have only one guardian left. So we don’t want to move forward!” A sovereign broke the silence at this time!
