In the Tian Luo Continent, there was a nation named Wu Yang, which was located in the center of the continent. Its west was the State of Tai Li, east was the State of Ten Thousand Saints, south was the Desolate Mountain, and north was the River Desolate.

Within the Martial Imperial City, the palace was situated in the middle of the city surrounded by the four great clans of Yun, Lan, Lin, and Sima. The Yun Family was a family that belonged to the military. Their family's three generations were all generals, and Old General Yun Zhan was the founding general of the Wu Yang Country. His status was honorable, and he could be said to be the current Martial King.

He was a hero that everyone in the Imperial City knew. However, he had a little young master who could not help but cheat him, eat, drink, and gamble; he was just like an indestructible cockroach, an extremely vile weasel that could not be shaken off.

Rumors began to spread throughout the imperial city. It would be better to provoke the immortals than to cause any problems for the imperial city. Seeing this young master of the Yun Family, he could hide as far away as he could.

However, the young master Yun Xie did not take it to heart, he continued to spend his days drinking and causing trouble, who told him to have a strong grandfather to protect his son!

Recently, the news of Yun Xie being chased to the Lonelytomb outside the city gates had spread throughout the entire capital. The various families were all shocked, just who was so bold as to actually dare to assassinate the Yun Family's young master?! The Yun Family was an existence that could shake the entire Imperial City by stomping their feet on the ground!

Furthermore, Yun Xie was the grandson of Old General Yun Zhan!

Residence of Yun.

Old Man Yun stood in the living room. Although his head was full of white hair, he was still full of energy. It was just that right now, he looked a little pained and sorrowful.

"Is … is there any news?"

The butler at the door bowed his head in silence.

"You've gone too far!"

With an angry shout, Old Man Yun's body trembled as an enormous spirit energy storm instantly raged, causing the tables and chairs in the living room to be turned into a mess in the blink of an eye. This was the rage of a peak Core Formation Stage expert!

How could Old Man Yun not be angry!

The news of Yun Xie being killed spread, while he ran frantically, searching until he reached the Lonelytomb. The assassin was already long gone, heading straight into the Lonelytomb. Given his power, he would only be able to move ten or so kilometers before he would be unable to withstand the corrosive power.

However, in these ten li, there were bloodstains. Old Man Yun was already disheartened.

After that, he had activated the Imperial City Army's power to track down the culprit, while at the same time sending people to guard the edge of the Lonelytomb, hoping for a sliver of luck. The result of his investigation, however, had caused the anger in Old Man Yun's chest to explode. These assassins were people from the Great Li Kingdom.

The old tutor had been through many battles, how could he not understand the reasons behind it?

It was near winter and the war in the western border was extremely urgent. The people guarding the western border were his two sons! Such ruthlessness! The battlefield was merciless, but it had never affected his wife or children. At this moment, the Great Li Nation was already a land of death in Old Man Yun's eyes.

With regards to national affairs and family matters, Old Master Yun himself knew the severity of the matter, and anxiously sent a letter to the western border. Since this matter could not be resolved with Yun Xie's matter, then the western border could not be disturbed, it was just that his eldest son's temperament, sigh!

After three days, there was still no news from Lonelytomb.

"Get ready."

Old Man Yun ordered dejectedly as he slowly closed his eyes, two streams of murky tears flowing down his face.

"Just now, the Lan family sent news that Miss Lan will come tomorrow …"

The butler whispered. The white-haired man was sending away the black haired man, such grievous news caused him great pain. However, the etiquette he should have afterwards was not lacking. After all, the entire imperial city was paying attention to the Yun Family.

Old Man Yun waved his hand, interrupting him. He seemed to want to say something, rolled his Adam's apple, sighed, and turned to leave.

Blue Mansion.

"Yue Er, have you thought about it?" Patriarch Lan Hong looked dotingly at the young girl before him, but the worry in his heart was still there on his face.

He and Yun Zhan were close friends. Back then, when they were drunk at a banquet, the two of them arranged a baby marriage and exchanged gifts. However, after the two children grew up, the two families began to have some misgivings.

Yun Xie of the Yun Family did not inherit his father's bravery and heroism; instead, he was a good-for-nothing. As for the Lan Family, although the little princess Lan Ruyue was born with a natural beauty that could topple cities, her eyes were unfathomable.

Thus, the elders of both families were dissatisfied, so the marriage was put on hold.

"Littlemoon has thought it through." Lan Ruyue stood there coldly.

Now that Yun Xie had passed away, if he had hidden away and avoided this marriage, what face would the Lan family have? Where was the Yun Family's face?

"However, you all have yet to marry. This matter is a joke of our older generation. It's fine if you do not do it." "It'll be fine if you don't go tomorrow. If you enter the Yun Family's gates, then you'll be able to confirm your identity and protect yourself for the rest of your life. Why bother?"

Old man Lan still didn't seem to give up, but he'd scolded himself a million times in his heart. You old thing, why drink when there's nothing to do!

"Grandpa, no need to say anything." "Since there are matchmaking parties, then Yue'er will be a member of the Yun Family. If she dies, then she will be a ghost of the Yun Family!"

Early in the morning the next day, a white silk had long since been hung above the main gate of the Residence of Yun. People came and went throughout the entire mansion, filling it with an oppressive and deathly aura.

With that, everyone in the Imperial City knew, that the Yun Family had given up on searching, after all, how terrifying was Lonelytomb, and how could Yun Xie come out alive?

As for Yun Xie, he was currently walking slowly towards the city gate, completely focused on stabilizing his cultivation level. The journey of several hours took him two days, he never expected that the entire Imperial City would change because of him.

"The young miss of the Lan family is here!"

Following the loud shout from the butler of the Residence of Yun, the entire mourning hall quieted down immediately. Everyone looked outside the door and saw Lan Ruyue, dressed in white silk, walk in step by step under the guidance of her servant girl.

Old man Yun Zhan's heart trembled as he walked forward.

"Little girl Yue, you … sigh!" "Why would I …"

"My condolences, Grandpa Yun." Lan Ruyue prostrated herself on the ground, "It is my bad, Yue'er. She came a little late, but Yue'er is still half a member of the Yun Family. She used to be one, and will be one in the future."

Old Man Yun seemed to be choked with emotions as he sighed. He took out the marriage annulment certificate he had prepared beforehand and handed it over to Lan Ruyue.

"This is our Yun Family's marriage annulment certificate. What your grandfather and I said that day was all a joke. If you really believe it, with this book as evidence, you and Yun Xie will no longer have anything to do with each other!"

Hearing this, Lan Ruyue trembled slightly. Although she could not see it, her heart was like a mirror. How could she not know that the Yun Family was protecting her!

However, to everyone's surprise, she tore it off, and coldly said, "If you want to divorce me, it's also Yun Xie who's going to divorce me. Grandpa Yun cannot make the decision!"

He turned around and took a step forward. He then faced the memorial tablet in the hall and bowed three times.

"Although I have never seen you before, I know you."

"I do not know how to love you, but I am willing to marry you."

"It's just that I don't even know what my man looks like. What a pity!"

Lan Ruyue said to herself as she stood there by herself, as if she was telling it to Yun Xie or herself.

"So you have to wait for me. Let me see you."

"It's hard to go to the underworld without meeting the king. How sad!"

"Haha …"

At this moment, Lan Ruyue smiled foolishly. However, her face became pale as black blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth. Her steps became unsteady as she leaned backwards.

"This is bad!"

Old Man Yun cried out in alarm as he extended his hand forward to receive the poison. No one had expected that this girl was so loyal, to the point of taking the poison and committing suicide. She had gone to look for Yun Xie!

However, just as Old Master Yun was about to catch the collapsed Lan Ruyue, a white figure flashed by and carried her out.
