In the hall, the air seemed to be condensed.

Shen Zhuo's eyes changed slightly, and Yu Zheng's words echoed over and over again in his ears: "After the disciple competition is over, you and Jiao Jiao should break off your engagement."

The hands under his sleeves clenched into fists subconsciously, and his chest felt inexplicably tight.

Ever since Yu Zheng forced him to agree to this engagement, he had been thinking about how to break off the engagement. He never thought that one day, Yu Zheng would ask him to break off the engagement.

He could hear Yu Xingwu's thoughts and knew that she didn't like him, but Yu Zheng didn't know that Yu Zheng had always let her get whatever Yu Xingwu liked, even by resorting to means.

The reason why he was asked to break off the engagement now was not because Yu Zheng knew that Yu Xingwu didn't like him. If he had known, he would not have let him break off the engagement after the disciple competition, but would have made him break off the engagement immediately.

He always thought that if he could break off the engagement one day, he would be happy, but at this moment, he didn't feel a trace of joy. Instead, he had an indescribable feeling.

Seeing that Shen Zhuo didn't speak for a long time, Yu Zheng laughed coldly and said in a calm voice: "Why, can't you understand what I'm saying?!"

"You haven't always wanted to break off your engagement with Jiaojiao. Today I will fulfill your wish."

"After the competition, you go and break off the engagement with Jiaojiao. I have already destroyed the engagement certificate. All you need to do is tell Jiaojiao that you want to break off the engagement and break half of the dragon and phoenix pendant in your hand in front of her."

"No matter Jiao Jiao agrees or disagrees, no matter how much trouble is made, the marriage certificate and the jade pendant have been destroyed, and the marriage is canceled. I will not let Jiao Jiao bother you anymore. From now on, you two have nothing to do with each other."

Shen Zhuo chuckled lightly, not afraid of the pressure brought by Yu Zheng, and there was a hint of unruliness in his eyes: "Does the Supreme Elder think that as long as you have the strength, you can do whatever you want, even if you want to force an engagement? If you want to retreat, just retreat."

The Supreme Elder couldn't see Shen Zhuo's rebellious look, and said with a disdainful smile: "You are right. In the world of immortality, those who have strength can control everything. Those without strength can only be trampled on by others."

"You wouldn't be so naive as to think that in this world of immortality where the jungle prevails, there will be people who can reason with you. The strong are the ones who are right. There are no rules in the world of immortality that were not made by the strong."

"Weak people have no room to resist. When you agreed to the marriage contract, you should have known that weak people have no right to speak. What if I kill you that day? It will just be the death of a disciple."

"Or do you think someone will stand up and speak justice for you after your death? No, they will only be afraid of my strength, and no one will seek justice for you."

"The truth is so cruel. As long as you have the strength, no matter what you do is wrong, no one dares to comment. This is the most real world of immortality. It is much crueler than you think. Being too naive will only You're hurting yourself."

"I find it strange that you are telling me this at this time. Could it be that you don't want to break off the engagement with Jiao Jiao?"

Shen Zhuo's eyes were filled with darkness.

Do you want to break off the engagement? I thought about it before.

Now, it seems that he doesn't want to break off the engagement.

From beginning to end, he was forced to get married and the engagement was annulled, and no one ever asked him a question.

Just because he is not strong enough, others can threaten his life and control everything about him.

Is it wrong to be weak?

If he stands at the top one day, will it be right no matter what he does?

Seeing Shen Zhuo's silence, Yu Zheng sneered again. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and a blast of palm wind roared out with terrifying power, hitting Shen Zhuo's chest directly.

"Bang!"

Shen Zhuo was knocked back, a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth, and he knelt on the ground on one knee.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is divided into eleven realms: body refining, qi refining, foundation building, elixir formation, golden elixir, Yuanying, out of body, distraction, integration, transcending tribulations, and Mahayana.

Although Shen Zhuo killed the third elder in the late stage of the Tribulation before, the third elder was seriously injured in the battle with the banshee, and Shen Zhuo used the power of the demon seed to kill the third elder.

Otherwise, in the Nascent Soul stage, even if he has thunder spirit roots and is a swordsman who can fight across levels, he will not be able to kill the third elder at all.

Yu Zheng was in the Mahayana stage again, and his strength was a level higher than that of the three elders. Shen Zhuo naturally had no room to resist in front of Yu Zheng.

And with this palm, even though Yu Zheng didn't use his full strength, Shen Zhuo clearly felt that two of his right sternum were broken.

Yu Zheng's warning words resounded throughout the hall: "It's not your fault to break off the engagement, you'd better do as I say."

"The disciple competition is over. If you didn't break off the engagement with Jiao Jiao, don't blame me for being cruel. The Tianlan Sect will just have one less disciple."

"You don't have to feel aggrieved. As you have no father and no mother, you are not worthy of Jiaojiao."

"So what if you are the rare thunder spirit root? The two young masters of the Mo family, one has the ice spirit root and the other has the wind spirit root. They both have rare spiritual roots, but they have prominent family backgrounds. Mo Chu and Mo Bai are talented Worthy of Jiaojiao.”

"Even if I don't make it clear, you should be wiser and cancel this engagement. You are not worthy of Jiaojiao."

Shen Zhuo wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his pride was crushed by Yu Zheng, and he laughed softly: "Okay... the disciple competition is over, I will break off the engagement to satisfy the Supreme Elder."

Yu Zheng snorted coldly, even in the mortal world, people with family background are nobler than ordinary people, and the same is true in the world of immortality.

This marriage was not the right one. If Jiao Jiao didn't like it, Shen Zhuo wouldn't even have a chance to become Jiao Jiao's unmarried Taoist companion.

Since he doesn't like Jiao Jiao, he should agree to break off the engagement. It's not his Shen Zhuo who has the final say in this marriage.

…

The next day.

After Yu Xingwu woke up, she went to Xingluo Peak.

She had no more nosebleeds after taking the Qinghuo Pill refined by Ye Su last night. She could only say that the effect of the pill refined by Ye Su was indeed very good.

But she felt that the person who deserved to take the Qingxin Pill was actually Fengchen.

Because Fengchen was more angry than her. To be precise, Fengchen's anger was purely caused by Yun Ci.

But Feng Chen didn't care if he was angry. Instead, he took out his anger on her and harmed her. He sent her a message early in the morning and told her to send him a message every day to report what he had done on Xingluo Peak.

Good guy, does she have to report to him when she eats, drinks or defecates? The male protagonist is so perverted!

What we are saying is that the disciple competition is coming soon, can the male protagonist and Yu Zheng take care of the female protagonist?

If this continues, how the heroine will rise, how she will complete the plot, and how she will leave will be a big headache!

——

Starfall Peak.

Yu Xingwu was holding the Changhong Sword Technique that Ye Su had given her before, and was asking Yun Ci if the Changhong Sword Technique was suitable for her to practice.

Yun Ci's answer is simple and easy to understand. Sword skills are just like sword skills, and sword cultivators also practice more than one sword skill.

The Changhong Sword Technique was suitable for her practice, and he also taught her his own Burning Flame Sword Technique, which was most suitable for Fire Spirit Root cultivation.

He also personally practiced every move of the Burning Flame Sword Technique to her.

Yu Xingwu was excited when she saw it, and spent every day on the mountain practicing every move of the Burning Flame Saber.

In Yun Ci's words, only through continuous practice day after day can one become proficient in every move of the Burning Sword Technique and form muscle memory.
