Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

When Xiao Yi and Cao Xiu caught up with Cao Rui.

He was facing an attack by more than a dozen extreme snow wolves, with his body covered in grim scars, bleeding profusely. His face was full of despair and resentment: "Damn it, these beasts came too fast, didn't they? Brother, it looks like I'm coming to join you..."

Cao Rui despairingly closed his eyes.

Awoo...

More than a dozen extreme snow wolves howled up to the sky.

Letting out greedy roars.

Their eyes glowed with a faint green light, looking at Cao Rui as if they were beggars who hadn't eaten in ten days, seeing a table full of lavish food.

Seeing the pack of wolves rushing over, about to devour Cao Rui alive.

In this moment between life and death.

A fan-shaped silver light swept across.

The dozen or so extreme snow wolves in front of him all fell into pools of blood.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Cao Xiu hurried up, supporting Cao Rui and looking him over, only relaxing after confirming there were no fatal injuries.

Cao Rui opened his eyes to see Cao Xiu in front of him and instinctively said, "Brother? Are we reuniting in hell?"

"What hell, you're not dead! We've all been saved by a benefactor!" Cao Xiu said grumpily.

"A benefactor?"

Cao Rui was stunned, following where Cao Xiu pointed. When he saw Xiao Yi's face clearly, he was astonished, "Isn't this the person we just met on the way?"

Cao Xiu nodded solemnly, "This is our benefactor Xiao Yi, it was he who saved us."

"Ah? Oh, oh..."

Cao Rui quickly got up and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi, "Thank you, benefactor, for your life-saving grace!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Take me to your village!"

He urgently needed a map to the city and then a way to leave the Endless Ice Prison.

After all.

The time Fang Ru gave him was only a brief ten days.

"Benefactor, please follow us!"

The two brothers immediately led the way, taking Xiao Yi towards Cao Family Village.

Meanwhile...

In the Holy Land Baiyu Capital, not much time had actually passed.

Everyone was still immersed in the shock of Xiao Yi defeating Chen Longxiang and being on the verge of killing him. At this time, the Holy Land Baiyu Capital's holy lord Fang Ru suddenly appeared and saved Chen Longxiang.

And...

Without saying a word, he directly cast Xiao Yi into the Endless Ice Prison.

No one had expected this.

"Fang Ru, you bastard, you want to die..."

"How dare you treat my boss like this?" Little Lin and Jin Yi exploded with rage, their eyes instantly turning a deep red.

The two soared into the sky.

Heading straight for Fang Ru to attack.

"Bold!"

"How dare you collide with the holy lord, don't you want to live?"

"Capture these two for me!"

Wu Qian and Jin Malun, who were easily defeated by Xiao Yi earlier, had lost their dignity. Now seeing Little Lin and Jin Yi strike, they naturally couldn't let go of this chance to restore their face.

Immediately...

The two led a group of strong fighters and attacked together.

Little Lin and Jin Yi's strength was indeed not weak.

But...

They weren't like Xiao Yi, who could easily sweep through peers and fight across levels with ease.

Facing the siege of Wu Qian and others, they were forced to retreat step by step, ultimately defeated.

"Slay them for me!" Chen Longxiang gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a fierce light.

"Yes!"

Wu Qian and the others were about to make a move.

"Stop!"

Fang Ru spoke lightly, and seeing the others look his way, he continued, "These two, though they collided with me, an unforgivable sin, are rare beings of heaven and earth. First, take them back to the Ice Dragon Cave to suppress them, then find a way to tame them, making them the guardian beasts of my Holy Land Baiyu Capital!"

"This..."

Wu Qian showed a hesitant look and glanced at Chen Longxiang.

Although they were both the supreme elders of the Holy Land Baiyu Capital, the one occupying Chen Longxiang's body was the first ancestor who founded the Holy Land Baiyu Capital.

Naturally, they followed Chen Longxiang's lead.

Chen Longxiang's expression fluctuated as he looked at Fang Ru. He found it hard to believe that Fang Ru would so unhesitatingly stand on his side. It was known that Fang Ru had previously known his identity, yet was extremely opposed to his existence.

"Could it be, he knows the secret within the forbidden land?"

A thought flashed through Chen Longxiang's mind, but he quickly shook his head to deny it, "Impossible, that secret is known only to me, how could he know? Oh well, let's first test him a bit..."

With this thought.

Chen Longxiang cleared his throat and said, "Holy lord, as for my marriage with Qingzhu..."

Fang Ru replied blandly, "Due to Xiao Yi's disturbance, my Holy Land Baiyu Capital has suffered great losses... Well then, in ten days, we shall hold the final marriage competition in the holy temple. The winner will immediately complete the marriage contract with Qingzhu, how about that?"

"Ten days?"

"No problem!"

Chen Longxiang pondered for a moment, glanced at the devastated holy mountain, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Only then did Fang Ru look towards Dongfang Qinglong and the others: "Given the circumstance, the marriage competition will not proceed to a second stage. All those who passed the first stage may hold the invitation order and participate in the final marriage competition in the holy temple ten days later."

"Holy lord, wise indeed!"

"Ten days later, perfect timing for a good rest..."

"Xiao Yi is imprisoned in the Endless Ice Prison, probably never to return in this lifetime. This marriage competition should be a contest among Chen Longxiang, Dongfang Qinglong, and Peng Yu..."

"Poor Xiao Yi..."

The crowd muttered to one another.

Fang Ru glanced at Chen Longxiang: "Can Qingzhu be released now?"

"Alright!"

Chen Longxiang nodded and retrieved the Seal Demon Stele.

At this moment, Fang Qingzhu was incredibly weak, her pale face showing a grim expression, her eyes instantly turning blood-red, filled with immense hatred: "Chen Longxiang, I'll kill you..."

Swish!

Fang Qingzhu's body erupted in blue light, turning into an icy blue phoenix that soared into the sky.

Raising a scene of ice and snow, she flew towards Chen Longxiang.

Sharp spears of solid ice formed in the air from the bitter coldness, piercing through with whooshing sounds, overwhelming the heavens as if to pierce through the sky itself.

"Enough!"

Fang Ru waved a hand, dispersing all the frost in the air.

White snowflakes fell on Fang Qingzhu, covering her tightly, leaving only her eyes exposed, filled with resentment and confusion as she looked at Fang Ru.

Fang Qingzhu couldn't believe it, that her own father would protect Chen Longxiang and imprison Xiao Yi in the Endless Ice Prison.

Why?

Why?

Fang Qingzhu's silent questioning turned into a hysterical roar.

Fang Ru gave no response, just a wave of his hand, lifting Fang Qingzhu, Little Lin, and Jin Yi into the air, heading straight for the Ice Dragon Cave.

"Ancestor..."

Wu Qian approached Chen Longxiang and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what medicine Fang Ru is selling in his gourd?"

He couldn't fathom why Fang Ru suddenly helped them.

Chen Longxiang squinted his eyes, a cold light flashing by: "Regardless of what he's thinking, ten days, is the final deadline. As long as I obtain Fang Qingzhu, I can return to the Saint Sovereign realm. By then, no matter what means Fang Ru has, they will be useless before me..."

"Mighty Ancestor!"

"We swear to follow Ancestor to the death..." Wu Qian and others hurriedly said.

Chen Longxiang responded lightly, then ordered the two to clean up. He then headed alone towards the forbidden land, muttering to himself along the way: "I hope Fang Ru hasn't discovered the secret of the forbidden land, otherwise..."

A sinister gleam flashed through his eyes...
