Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Human, why are you leaving? Its dangerous in the sea fog when the waves are forming. Even I may not find the right direction, Ah Zha said as she walked ahead of Jiang Hao in the sea fog.

In fact, it wasnt just Ah Zha. Many people didnt understand. They felt Jiang Hao was a bit delusional. If there were waves coming, it would be safer to stay in place. There were treasures and defenses set up in the area.

Wasnt it better than running around in the sea mist?

Jiang Hao didnt explain to those who questioned him. He wasnt forcing them to leave. On the contrary, he preferred acting alone. Its just that he didnt want them to be in danger because he was in charge.

This wave was extraordinary.

The royal family, the Sacred Bandits, the heavenly Note Sect, and powerful individuals from overseas were all involved. After what the Sacred Bandits had been planning for a long time, he didnt believe that the people on the periphery would be safe.

So even if they were punished, it wouldnt matter.

They just didnt know if they would make it in time.

The sea fog seemed to be changing. They needed to leave quickly.

However, it wasnt that easy.

Ah Zha seemed to have lost its way.

Whats going on? Why cant I find the direction? It seems to be getting blurry, Ah Zha said.

Even you cant find the way, Senior? Zheng s.h.i.+jiu was surprised.

Its not that easy, Ah Zha said.

The others were a bit worried, and some even said it would be better to stay in the stronghold. At least they could try to defend themselves. Now, in the sea fog, they couldnt even see the way. It was like waiting for death to come.

The others could only agree.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He hadnt seen much with the technique from the nameless manual, so he couldnt find the way, especially with so many forks in the road.

In the Imperial City, the moon was bright.

The wedding ceremony had already begun, and Bi Zhu sat in a corner.

She still hadnt seen Shangguan Hengyu, but the first group of people was about to enter the ancestral ground, so he should be coming soon.

Princess, do you really want to go into the ancestral ground with the Crown Prince Shangguan? Auntie Qiao was a bit worried.

Its just to take a look. Speaking of which, I havent been there before, so lets take a look, Bi Zhu said with a smile.

Arent you afraid of getting married for real? Auntie Qiao asked.

What if they break the engagement on the other side? Given his personality, he could do something like that, Bi Zhu said without concern.

Auntie Qiao felt that the princess had already thought of a way to make the other person break the engagement. That would mean she would escape the marriage but still would receive the gifts she had asked for. If everything went smoothly, she felt the princess would gain a lot.

But she didnt know if it would cause trouble.

At that moment, a young man walked over to Bi Zhu.

Princess Bi Zhu? he asked with a smile.

Thats me. Bi Zhu nodded. Shangguan Hengyu?

Yes. Are you the one who cried and wanted to go into the ancestral ground with me? Shangguan Hengyu said disdainfully.

He was dressed in magnificent clothes and had an extraordinary appearance.

Have I disappointed you? Then, its fine. Lets not go. Bi Zhu looked at him. I was just joking. Shangguan Hengyu snorted coldly and didnt speak again.

After that, they planned to go to their ancestral land.

Before entering, Qiao Yi informed Bi Zhu that the prince was in the Golden

Core Realm and that she should be careful.

Golden core Realm?

Bi Zhu smiled. He was not at the Golden Core Realm for real. He was only slightly weaker than her brother. The Shangguan family kept their real cultivation realm hidden.

The ancestral land was deep within the Imperial City. They were led by the guards and walked into the ancestral land.

Here, they could receive the blessing of the land, but what exactly the blessing was, few people could perceive it.

But every royal family member, upon marriage, had to come here once.

They could only enter once.

So, if they didnt intend to marry for real, not many people would visit the place.

After entering the gate of the ancestral land, Shangguan Hengyu seemed to relax. Princess, I didnt expect you to be over three hundred years old and still look so young.

Do you like older women? Bi Zhu looked at the person beside her.

Not really. I was just marveling at how well you are dressed. Shangguan Hengyu shook his head and walked ahead.

He seemed to have his own purpose for this trip.

Bi Zhu followed behind him and didnt care. She just let him go wherever he wanted.

Maybe its my natural beauty, said Bi Zhu.

Princess, do you think it was right to choose to come to the ancestral land right now? Shangguan Hengyu looked serious. He didnt look frivolous and flighty like before.

It certainly doesnt feel wrong, Bi Zhu said.

Do you think you are a bit naive and getting older and less knowledgeable? Shangguan Hengyu asked while preparing something in an open s.p.a.ce. You are the same as the rumors made you out to be. Young with little to no experience.

By now, the formation had been set up, and everything was ready.

The moon was in the sky. The moonlight shone on the formation and activated it.

Thats true. Bi Zhu nodded.

Princess, you are as naive as they say. You must be getting older, Shangguan

Hengyu said and gestured to her. Can you stand inside?

Of course. Bi Zhu nodded.

She stepped into the formation. She looked unconcerned.

I heard you like to talk big. What kind of big things do you say? Shangguan Hengyu asked while activating the formation.

By now, the formation was fully activated, and a light enveloped Bi Zhu.

Gradually, something eroded her body.

I often tell Auntie Qiao that I am the first genius of the royal family and unparalleled throughout history. Standing at the pinnacle of the royal family, Im only slightly inferior to the astonis.h.i.+ng geniuses. Bi Zhu shrugged. But Auntie Qiao just laughs at me, and so does my second brother. Although my eldest brother doesnt speak, Im sure hes laughing inside too.

Thats indeed quite amusing. Shangguan Hengyu nodded.

Then, he looked at the young girl in front of him. Do you have any last words?

Last words? Bi Zhu tilted her head in confusion. Im fine and dandy. Why would I need to say my last words?

Thats a pity. Shangguan Hengyu sighed.

Then, he cast his technique, and the fortune of the royal family began to be corroded. A formation appeared under his feet.

But he felt uncomfortable.

Then, without any warning, the flesh of his arm began to rot.

Whats going on?

The sudden change shocked him.

A curse. Havent you encountered it before? Bi Zhu stood in the center of the formation.

A curse? Shangguan Hengyus face changed, and he immediately tried to channel his power to counter it, but it had no effect.

How is this possible? How can a mere curse be impossible to dispel?! he exclaimed.

A mere curse? Bi Zhu gave him a charming smile. This is not just a mere curse. Its the curse on my body. According to your words, youre just an early-stage Return to Void Realm cultivator. How can you withstand the curse on my body?

Shangguan Hengyu was horrified to find that his flesh and blood were also decaying, and his cultivation was crumbling. He panicked.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at the young girl in front of him. What do you mean?

Uh Bi Zhu shrugged. Didnt I just tell you? I am the first genius of the royal family and am unparalleled throughout history. The entire Imperial City cant even match my strength. This is the real me. Its just that no one believes me..
