Chapter 490

Ji Senior Wuming and the other two were merely silver-badge constables, clearly no match for Xiao Shiyilang.

"Xiao Shiyilang, I've finally caught you…"

Just as Ji Senior Wuming and the other two were caught between advancing and retreating, unsure whether to continue pursuing Xiao Shiyilang and the other.

A white-robed, elegant Wu Lin gentleman, radiant as snow, entered Tongfu Inn with a band of followers.

His followers all possessed decent Wu Gong; upon entering, they immediately used lightness skills to surround the entire Tongfu Inn.

"Get out…"

Upon seeing this man, Xiao Shiyilang could no longer hold back and unleashed his true abilities.

Ji Senior Wuming and the other two had all reached the Grand Master realm.

But Xiao Shiyilang was gifted by nature, a member of the Swordguard Clan; though younger than Ji Senior Wuming and the other two.

Yet his cultivation had long since reached the Great Grand Master realm.

Now that the person he did not wish to see had caught up, how could he afford to tangle further with these three?

He kicked Ji Senior Wuming and the other two, sending them rolling like melons.

"Good, excellent skill."

The elegant gentleman smiled broadly and even clapped his hands.

"But Xiao Shiyilang, where do you think my wife should go now?"

"No! I am not your wife…"

The woman beside Xiao Shiyilang, upon hearing this, angrily tore off her veil.

"Lian Chengbi, you're worse than a pig or dog—you even killed my grandmother."

"What kind of fantasy are you still dreaming of, thinking I'd become your wife?"

This woman was none other than Shen Bijun, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, ranked on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List.

And the gentleman who had come chasing after her was none other than the famed "Pure Lord" Lian Chengbi of Great Song Wulin.

"Bijun, you speak to me like this—it breaks my heart."

Lian Chengbi wore an expression of deep sorrow.

"My heart aches over my grandmother's death too."

"But on what grounds do you accuse me, claiming it was my fault?"

"Xiao Brother told me!"

Shen Bijun gripped Xiao Shiyilang's arm and directly confronted Lian Chengbi.

"I heard from Xiao Brother that you coveted the Heart-Moon Fox granted to me by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List."

"You were desperate to have me marry into your Lian Family Fortress."

"But my grandmother disagreed with such haste, saying the wedding date had already been set and must be honored."

"You, impatient and ruthless, poisoned her with the rare toxin 'Time's Up'."

"Every night at Zi Hour, my grandmother would involuntarily go out and kill people."

"When she awoke, she suffered unbearable agony."

"Later, she sought out Xiao Brother and begged him to kill her."

"Did all this happen—or not?"

Shen Bijun spoke faster, her anger mounting; her exquisite face was already streaked with tears.

Lian Chengbi listened, stunned.

"Bijun, beyond his single-sided account, do you have any other evidence?"

"Isn't his word evidence enough?"

Shen Bijun had risked life and death with Xiao Shiyilang multiple times; she trusted him utterly.

"Hah! So you've simply believed a stranger's word and falsely accused me."

"Bijun, let me ask you—are you my fiancée, or Xiao Shiyilang's?"

Lian Chengbi demanded sharply.

"You killed my grandmother—our engagement is null and void."

Shen Bijun replied directly.

"Now I only wish to leave Great Song with Xiao Brother—do not stand in our way."

"Hmph! Shen Bijun, we have a binding engagement—can you dissolve it with a single word?"

Lian Chengbi had no intention of letting Shen Bijun go.

"And you've falsely accused me of killing your grandmother."

"I am the famed 'Pure Lord' of the Jianghu—how can I bear such injustice?"

"Shen Bijun, today you either come with me willingly back to the Lian Family Fortress to marry me."

"Or I'll take you back myself!"

"Fine! Then Xiao Shiyilang shall test the 'Pure Lord's' skill."

Xiao Shiyilang had evaded Lian Chengbi for a long time; now he wished to settle this once and for all.

He soothed Shen Bijun, then launched his attack first.

316 This guy is threatening me!

"Good!"

Lian Chengbi also drew his treasure sword and clashed with Xiao Shiyilang.

But both were Great Grand Master-level experts—how large could Tongfu Inn possibly be?

After merely two exchanges, the qi waves shattered nearly all tables, chairs, and benches nearby.

Only the table where Watching Bu Jingyun sat remained utterly still.

Watching Bu Jingyun acted as if he had not noticed the chaos here, continuing quietly to drink his wine, appearing utterly detached from the world.

Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyilang exchanged another blow.

They realized that if this continued, the entire inn might be torn apart.

Xiao Shiyilang, moved by compassion, leapt forward instantly.

Seeing this, Lian Chengbi gave a glance to someone beside him, then followed suit and rushed out.

After the two left, the timid and delicate Shen Bijun seemed to have lost her protection.

The men who had come with Lian Chengbi immediately surrounded her.

As the head trainer of Lian Family Fortress, Jia Xin stepped to within three feet of Shen Bijun and bowed.

"Madam, please return with us to Lian Family Fortress!"

Though phrased as a request, two men from Lian Family Fortress immediately reached out to seize Shen Bijun.

"Do you truly believe that without Lian Chengbi, you can do anything to me?"

Shen Bijun came from the Shen family; when the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List was published, her cultivation level was Master.

Slightly inferior to Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyilang.

Yet these servants of Lian Family Fortress—even Jia Xin—were barely Top-Grade.

"Young Lady Shen, do you think we don't know you're a Master-level expert?"

One of the men beside Jia Xin suddenly smiled and swiftly struck toward Shen Bijun.

A master's first move reveals his caliber.

The moment this man moved, Shen Bijun sensed immense danger.

An Ultimate-level expert!

Besides Bai Yang and Green Willow, when did Lian Family Fortress gain another unknown Ultimate-level expert?

Shen Bijun was puzzled, preparing to muster what strength she could to defend herself.

Then she felt a surge of qi strike from behind.

Another Ultimate-level expert!

Her full attention had been focused ahead, and now someone attacked from behind.

Shen Bijun was merely a Master; now two Ultimate-level experts launched a dishonorable ambush.

She had no way to evade—she had not even begun to move before Lian Family Fortress's men seized her.

"Who are you?"

Shen Bijun was terrified; though immobilized, she still demanded an answer.
