Qianbei Ye smiled icily, "It looks like you've mobilized a few ninth transformation early-stage cultivators to capture me. You've really gone through a lot of trouble."

This was why he had to leave Gu Ruoyun!

While he has the ability to cope with a few ninth transformation early-stage cultivators, if Gu Ruoyun was by his side, it would be hard for him to stay focused. If she were to be harmed due to his negligence her, he would never forgive himself.

Besides, he would never let his enemies find out about his relationship with Gu Ruoyun. Otherwise, the future of her path towards growth would become much more difficult.

"Hmph." The green-robed woman scoffed icily before she replied irritably, "If I didn't ask the elders to act, how could I have caught you? Qianbei Ye, tell the truth, did you kill my husband-to-be because you've taken a liking to me?"

Qianbei Ye's gaze became even gloomier. His peerless features now carried a sense of disdain. "You're overthinking this. He had crossed me so I killed him. It has nothing to do with you."

Yun'er will forever be the only one in his heart. Anyone else would not be worth his attention.

"I don't care!" The green-robed woman angrily stomped her foot and declared sulkily, "You killed my fianc so you must repay me with another! Hence, you must marry me. Otherwise, I won't let you leave this place!"

"Do you really think that you have the power to hold me down?" Qianbei Ye chuckled. "If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

"Hmph!"

When they heard his words, the elders who were standing behind the woman moved to stand bolt upright in front of her.

"Kid, it's your fortune to have received our Lady's attention. Stop acting as if you don't know what's good for you! If you hadn't murdered our future Lord, the Lady would not have ended up as a widow at such a young age. No one dares to take her as a wife now! Hence, you must bear this responsibility. If you don't marry our Lady, we won't let you remain in the First City alive."

The elder has a grave and stern face. His eyes stared coldly at Qianbei Ye 1 as he declared rudely.

The Murong family was one of the Three Great Protectors of the First City and has an incomparably high position. They also have the right to make decisions in the First City! However, this kid does not seem to know what was good for him. Not only had he murdered their Lady's husband-to-be, he had dishonored the Murong family's great name. How could they stand for this?

Everyone knows about the Three Great Protectors in the First City. The Three Great Protectors were guardians of the Governor's Palace in the First City. Not only was every Protector required to watch over their own families, they had to carry the mantle of being an elder in the Governor's Palace. The Three Great Protectors were the ones who announce First City's rules.

As for the Governor of First City, he was a mysterious existence. To this day, no one has seen what the Governor looks like. It was likely that only the Three Great Protectors have met the legendary Lord Governor...

Based on that, one could imagine the height of the Murong family's position!

A gale blew and the man's red robes fluttered in the wind.

A bloody light flashed in Qianbei Ye's eyes. "Then we shall have to see if you have the ability," he replied gloomily.

Boom!

Suddenly, a great wind rose from within Qianbei Ye's body. His silvery hair tangled in the wind, creating a sight so beautiful that one could not look away.

The green-robed woman scoffed twice and ordered haughtily, "First Elder, get this kid for me. If he refuses to marry me, it's totally fine. You can tie him up, drug him and drag him into the bedroom! This is the price he has to pay for murdering my husband-to-be and offending me!"
