After a moment, the referee sighed and announced, "Su Yu... his fate is unknown!"
Once in the icy pond, death was certain.
Only Su Yu was an exception!
In the corner, Mo Wu's beautiful face was hard to read. Only her bright eyes were dazed for a moment.
"Let's go," Mo Wu murmured, turning to leave.
The woman following behind stared at the Icy Azure Pond, sighing with regret, "Even though his power is weak, he is worthy of respect."
Two hours later.
The pond was quiet, only the ripples of the cold wind.
The disciples who believed Su Yu would eventually return had gloomy expressions.
If he did not come out in two hours, the chances of him dying were high.
Sighing, a large portion of the disciples dispersed.
Half a day later, only a small portion of the disciples remained.
A day later, the arena was empty, only Yun Yan's figure standing alone, her expression sad.
Within the Outer Sanctum, Su Yu only had Yun Yan as a friend.
Staring at the Icy Azure Pond, Yun Yan recalled her acquaintance with Su Yu. Even though it was short, it was as if it had happened yesterday.
"Su Yu..." Yun Yan cried, waiting in the cold for a day, the last shred of hope in her heart extinguished.
Su Yu was dead.
She straightened her clothes and bowed. Yun Yan gently kowtowed and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you for saving my life."
"I will pass on your last wish. Tell Qin Xianer that you, Su Yu, once came to the Zhenlong Continent!"
Yun Yan got up, her heart filled with sorrow, drifting away.
During the battle with the pirates, Su Yu was facing a powerful enemy and his life was uncertain. He had asked Yun Yan to pass on a message to Qin Xianer and Xia Jingyu that he had come!
To think that after a month, she would have to repeat this request.
Arriving at the metal bridge, the black-armored guards were still cold. With the strength of a Third Level Holy King, they blocked all the Outer Sanctum disciples.
Yun Yan waited quietly at the end of the bridge.
A moment later, a handsome man walked over from the other end of the metal bridge.
Dressed in a pale gold robe, he had an oppressive aura.
At around twenty years of age, his cultivation level had reached the terrifying peak of Fourth Level Holy King!
This person was the prince of the Liuxian faction, Wu Yan.
He was also Yun Yan's … fiance!
"What urgent message is this?" Wu Yan's expression was cold as he brought her to a pavilion not far away.
Sensing Wu Yan's indifference, Yun Yan's expression remained calm. "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Speak!" Wu Yan frowned.
"There is a Qin Xianer in the Inner Sanctum. I want to meet her. I heard that she is about to marry Cao Xuan, and you are a good friend of Cao Xuan. I believe you have a way to bring Qin Xianer out." Yun Yan had come for Su Yu.
Wu Yan's eyes flashed, "Why do you want to see her?"
Yun Yan's expression darkened. "Delivering a message for a dead man."
"Humph! Is it someone called Su Yu? "Wu Yan's gaze instantly turned ice-cold.
Yun Yan was startled. How did Wu Yan know about Su Yu? Suddenly, Yun Yan was slightly startled. Could it be …
"It really is him!" Killing intent flashed across Wuyan's eyes. "He should be glad that he died in the Icy Azure Lake. Otherwise, I would have taken his life myself!"
During the battle with the pirates, Wu Pangyun had severely injured Yun Yan, causing her to almost be raped to death. This matter was finally revealed from the mouth of the captured pirates.
He also learned from the pirates that his fiancée and another man were hiding on the island, engaging in illicit activities!
One could imagine Wuyan's shame and anger!
Yun Yan was elegant and calm. She sighed softly. "You really do know … I will not explain. There is nothing between me and Su Yu. Whether you believe me or not, it is up to you."
Narrowing his eyes, Wuyan gradually believed her.
He knew his fiancée's character very well. She was definitely not a flirtatious woman.
Secretly, Wuyan heaved a sigh of relief. His cold expression softened slightly. "It is impossible to see her. The wedding is in two days. However, if you have anything to say, I can pass on the message. However, it must be after the wedding, so as not to affect Qin Xianer's mood."
Yun Yan thought for a moment and silently nodded. This was the best result she could fight for.
She turned to leave, but Wuyan reached out to stop her, wanting to hold her hand.
Frowning slightly, Yun Yan evaded without a trace. "What's the matter?"
Wuyan stared at the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him. Deep in his eyes, there was deep longing and expectation. He smiled. "The fire-based legacy cultivation technique that your Yun family wants, I have already helped you find it. With Senior Cao Xuan's help, I will be able to quickly read it and pass it to you."
An unconcealable joy overflowed from her jade-like face. Her hands were slightly clenched, showing the excitement in Yun Yan's heart.
However, Wuyan's next sentence made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"The day I pass it to you will be the day we get married. I believe you are ready." Wuyan smiled, but his eyes seemed to melt the beauty in front of him.
Yun Yan's delicate body trembled slightly. She hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly. "I am ready."
"Haha, that's good. Wait for me for ten days. I will pass the fire-based legacy cultivation technique to you." Wuyan smiled with satisfaction. "I will go back first to help Senior Cao Xuan prepare for the wedding. You can stay in the Outer Sanctum for another ten days. With Clan Master Xi's help, you can stay for ten days."
Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly, looking at Wuyan's departing figure. Her jade-like hands clenched tightly.
Her slender fingernails dug deep into her flesh.
A trace of hatred, a trace of grievance and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
The Yun family was a family of craftsmen. They needed to use fire-based cultivation techniques to control the fire. Only then could they forge good weapons.
Among the Hundred Vassal Clans, the Yun family was ranked 50th and barely had a foothold.
However, three years ago, the Tie family, which was competing with the Yun family, suddenly received help from a mysterious force. Their skills in controlling fire and craftsmen increased greatly, surpassing the Tie family. Many customers were attracted away.
The Yun family's situation was deteriorating day by day. They urgently needed better fire-based cultivation techniques to increase their competitiveness. There was only one type of cultivation technique above that. It was rumored to be hidden deep within the Liuxian faction, the only fire-based cultivation technique, Fire Dragon Mantra!
It was a remnant of a legacy manual. There was a total of one level. If one could cultivate and use it, it would definitely improve their craftsmen's skills.
The Liuxian faction had a strict rule that the inherited cultivation techniques of the faction were not to be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, they would be punished with blood!
This was also why, in the past hundred years, none of the Hundred Vassal Clans had disciples in the Inner Sanctum. Even the disciples of the families did not dare to bring the inherited cultivation techniques back to their families.
But while there were prohibitions, there were countermeasures.
If they left the faction and returned to their families, they could use it themselves. If they did not pass it on to the family, it would not be considered passing it on to outsiders.
If Yun Yan obtained the inherited cultivation technique, she could cultivate it herself. As a former disciple of the Liuxian faction, she could help the family craft weapons. This was not against the rules.
In this way, she could help the family for at least a hundred years. After a hundred years, if the cultivation technique could not be passed on, that would be a matter for a hundred generations.
However, this fire-based cultivation technique was only in the possession of the Liuxian faction. It was almost impossible for the Yun family to obtain it.
At this time, the royal family's Wu Yan came to propose marriage. One of the betrothal gifts was to promise to help the Yun family obtain the fire-based cultivation technique!
It could be imagined that the Yun family, who were in dire straits, would gladly agree.
Although the Yun family understood that the sudden rise of the Tie family was most likely due to Wu Yan's support.
His intention was to cause the Yun family to fall into dire straits and compromise to betroth Yun Yan to him.
Yun Yan's reputation was well known. She was beautiful and elegant. Most importantly, she had the blood of the Fire Lotus. Combining with it, she could help men break through bottlenecks.
Therefore, there were countless people who coveted Yun Yan.
Wu Yan was one of them. He was a Fourth Level Holy King when he was young. Now that he was a peak Fourth Level Holy King, if he could borrow the power of the Fire Lotus in Yun Yan's body, there was a high chance that he could break through to Fifth Level Holy King!
Because of this, Wu Yan had proposed marriage three times but was rejected.
However, after the incident with the Tie family, he finally got his way.
Ten days later, when she handed over the inherited cultivation technique, she would give her body to Wu Yan to do whatever he wanted.
Even if she was unwilling, Yun Yan could only bow to fate and compromise with Wu Yan.
Thinking of this, Yun Yan's heart wailed.
If she had a choice, why would she give her body to such a despicable person?
Filled with sadness, Yun Yan gradually left.
At the same time.
In the Inner Sanctum, in the depths of the giant meteorite, in a magnificent pavilion.
In the pavilion, a room was sealed off with a spell.
Outside the door, two Holy King maids were waiting with their bodies bowed.
Xu Rong walked over and asked with a frown, "She still refuses to eat today?"
"Yes! Including today, she has not had a drop of water for five days, "the maid said respectfully.
Xu Rong's face darkened slightly, "Follow me in!"
Creak —
The door opened, revealing a thin and petite figure lying motionless on the bed.
Her once adorable face was now waxy yellow, devoid of any human color.
The skin of her lips had fallen off due to dryness, trembling slightly like a thirsty fish.
Her breath was equally weak, lying on the bed on her last breath, on the verge of death.
This was clearly a sign of starvation and thirst.
However, water and food were at the head of the bed.
Xu Rong's face was filled with pity, but it was quickly replaced by coldness!
"Open her mouth!" Xu Rong ordered.
The two maids could not bear it, one hesitantly saying, "If you force feed her, she will press her fingers against her throat and vomit out the food and water."
"No matter! I spent a lot of effort to get a precious spirit pill to replenish her energy. It melted the moment it entered her mouth, she could not help but vomit! Go! "Xu Rong took out a dark green pill.
The two maids sighed lightly, helping the dying Xianer up.
In her coma, Xianer faintly sensed movement. She opened her eyes with difficulty, her lips moving, "I … don't eat … I want Brother Su Yu, not to marry … anyone else."
Xu Rong walked over with a cold expression. After many days of persuasion, her patience had long been exhausted.
Whether it was persuasion, threats, or promises, Xianer insisted on not marrying Cao Xuan.
"Xianer! Grandma has already told you very clearly! Marrying Cao Xuan will be of great benefit to you, grandma, and the Xu family! Why do you insist on marrying Su Yu? With his talent, he will only be a low level Holy King for the rest of his life. You will be the one suffering! "
Xu Rong stuffed the green pill into Xianer's mouth.
She struggled, but was too weak to even lift a finger.
The pill entered her body, its energy nourishing her frail body. She gradually regained her human color.
Xianer extended her finger to vomit, but only spat out a mouthful of bile.
Her stomach was already empty.
"I am not marrying, I am Brother Su Yu's fiancee. If you want to marry, marry him yourself!" Unable to spit out the pill, Xianer's face was pale, but she stubbornly shouted.
Xu Rong's face scrunched up even more, losing her patience. "Hmph! You have to marry him even if you don't want to! You have to marry him even if you don't want to! It's not up to you! "
"Then I will die in front of you!" Xianer's face was filled with seriousness as she slammed her head into the wall behind her.
"Hmph! Wild girl! Just like your mother, you don't know what's good for you! " Xu Rong grabbed Xianer's shoulder, coldly threatening, "Even if you die, you have to marry Cao Xuan!"
The Xu family was one of the Hundred Vassal Clans, ranked at the bottom. If they could get close to Cao Xuan and get in touch with the Tenth Elder, they would be able to rest easy.
Xu Rong felt that her words were too cruel. After all, Xianer would play a key role in the future glory of the Xu family. If she hated the Xu family, it would be disadvantageous to the Xu family.
Her tone softened, and Xu Rong said earnestly, "Xianer, you need to know how to contribute. Since you are a member of the Xu family, why don't you know how to sacrifice for the Xu family? If you marry Cao Xuan, the Xu family will benefit, and the clansmen will be grateful to you. Do you understand? "
Xianer struggled, her eyes bright. "Xianer doesn't understand. I grew up in the Xianyu prefecture. My father and mother raised me. Why should I sacrifice for the Xu family that I have never seen before?
I only know! I am Brother Su Yu's fiancee, I can only marry him in this lifetime. "
