"Humph! You might kill me at most, but as the son of the Cloud Sect leader, you are actually engaged to someone else's fiancée. It's truly shameful! I've heard about the greatness of the Cloud Sect, but now it just seems like a place full of prostitutes..."
Long Yan appeared fearless and looked at Nuo Qing indifferently. Over the years, having been considered a waste, he had already set life and death aside. Upon hearing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Nuo Qing's eyes.
Especially when he felt the surrounding gazes looking at him as if watching a joke, his chest felt like it was about to explode with rage. How dare this loser defy him?!
At this moment, Nalan Yu'er noticed something was wrong.
To calm the commotion she had caused as quickly as possible, she immediately looked at everyone in the Long family: "I believe you already know why I'm here. This time, I came only to end my engagement to Long Yan. If this matter is dealt with early, it can be concluded early. This will be best for everyone, don't you think?"
Upon hearing Nalan Yu'er's voice, Nuo Qing suppressed the anger in his heart.
If he attacked a loser without any cultivation level, it would simply stain his hands and undoubtedly lower his own status.
Everyone in the Long family noticed the tense atmosphere.
To avoid escalating the conflict, one of the clan elders handed the marriage certificate, paper, and pen to Long Yan: "Yan'er, your mother died early, and your father's whereabouts are unknown. Now, it's better to live than to die, so it's best to live well. In my opinion, you should sign the marriage contract and dissolve it as soon as possible."
Seeing the former family genius turned into what he is now, the clan elder felt discomfort in his heart.
Long Yan reached out and took the marriage certificate. Looking at the black and white words on it, he felt immense sorrow and anger in his heart.
Since ancient times, where had women come to break engagements? How could he allow the Long family to bear such humiliation?! So, under everyone's gaze, Long Yan fiercely tore up the marriage certificate.
He immediately looked at the stunned Nalan Yu'er and said, "Today, the marriage is annulled, but I want you to remember that this time it is not you who broke the engagement but me, Long Yan, who will divorce you."
Upon this declaration, the entire audience was shocked! Nalan Yu'er's face suddenly became ugly.
If the engagement could be ended by her, it would save some face, but if she were divorced this way, it would be a huge slap in the face.
When she thought of how many people would laugh at her when the news got out, Nalan Yu'er bit her red lips and felt aggrieved: "Long Yan! Do you really want to do this?!"
Long Yan looked around and sneered with disdain: "From beginning to end, are you really the ones doing things correctly?!"
Seeing Nalan Yu'er's delicate body tremble and her face turn pale, Nuo Qing couldn't help but feel deeply upset.
He immediately glared at Long Yan and rebuked, "How arrogant! Yu'er still wants to save some face for the Long family, but now, I see that this is completely unnecessary."
Nuo Qing moved towards Long Yan, a hint of killing intent in his dark eyes: "As a price for speaking rudely to Yu'er, let me think about it. How should I deal with you? Should I break your hand first, or should I break your legs first?"
The cold words made the temperature of the entire place seem to drop by more than ten degrees. Many members of the Long family were silent.
The clan leader who had just handed Long Yan the pen and paper quickly stepped forward, pleading on behalf of Long Yan:
"Master Nuo, Yan'er is still young and ignorant, but you have such a distinguished status. Why care about him? Rest assured, we will handle the matter of breaking the engagement properly, and I will apologize to you..."
"How dare you teach me how to do things? Old man, get out of here!"
Nuo Qing was already furious; how could he listen to the other party's explanation? He immediately kicked the clan elder, knocking him to the ground!
Seeing this scene, many of the Long family's disciples rushed forward and helped the clan elder.
They immediately looked at Nuo Qing and glared angrily: "Nuo Qing! As the son of the Cloud Sect leader, how can you attack our elder? Aren't you afraid of ruining your sect's reputation?"
Listening to the noise around him, Nuo Qing became even more annoyed and said viciously, "Shut up! If anyone dares to say another word, I'll kill them!"
When Nuo Qing's threats were heard, although everyone was angry, in the face of the Cloud Sect, they could only bow their heads helplessly, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Seeing the miserable situation the clan elder suffered because of his plea, Long Yan suddenly became filled with grief and anger. At this moment, he thirsted for power immensely.
If he hadn't faced any catastrophe, if he could still cultivate, how could he let the Long family face such a disaster?! Many memories flooded his mind, making Long Yan even more unwilling.
However, when Nuo Qing raised his arm, ready to take action, a mocking voice suddenly echoed throughout the crowd: "A dog can never change its habit of eating excrement. The Cloud Sect still retains this trait."
Everyone in the Long family was surprised when they heard someone dare to openly mock the Cloud Sect.
Nuo Qing's movements also stopped, and his expression became terrifyingly grim. Long Yan was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked forward, following the voice. He saw a handsome, unfamiliar young man standing at the hall's entrance.
Behind him stood a refined man in black robes and an elderly man with gray hair. This is... grandfather?!
Long Yan was shocked; he never expected his grandfather, Long Hongwen, to return at this critical moment.
At the same time, more and more of the Long family's children recognized the old man's identity: "It's the old master; the old master has returned!"
"Who are the two standing beside the old master? They look so unfamiliar. I've never seen them before."
"I heard the old master went to the master's house a few days ago to seek help. Could these be members of the master's family?"
"I think it would be great if you could return with the old master."
As the crowd discussed, Elder Kun, who stood behind Nuo Qing, looked coldly at Long Chen and the others.
With the innate spiritual awareness, he could instantly detect the cultivation level of the opponents.
One was at the ninth level of the Body Formation Realm, one at the seventh level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, and the third suspected to be at the innate realm?
Suddenly, Elder Kun felt his spiritual awareness cut off by the other party, and he frowned.
He had never heard that the Long family head had an innate monk in charge. Could the other party be a foreign helper invited by the Long family? Thinking of this, to avoid causing an incident, he looked at Long Chen, cupped his hands slightly, and announced his title: "I am Kai Kun, an elder of the Cloud Sect. May I ask who you are?"
If the other party had a deep background, naturally, he couldn't allow Nuo Qing to act violently and provoke powerful enemies for the sect without reason.
But if he had no background, it would be a different matter. Upon hearing this, Long Chen remained calm and said casually, "Long family, Long Chen."
As soon as the words were out, before Kai Kun could figure out which Long family it was, a young disciple of the Long family lost his voice and said, "Long Chen? He's the clan leader!"
