How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

"Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way."

Just then, an army dressed in armor, looking imposing, trotted over.

"Hahaha... My men are here, aren't you going to release me? If you serve me well tonight, I might consider it."

"Noisy."

Shen Zhixia intensified her saintly pressure once more, and before the Second Prince could even finish speaking, he was crushed into a bloody mist.

The second prince of the Tianyu Dynasty... died.

"Damn it! How dare she murder our Second Prince in the street! Guards, seize this woman!"

Upon hearing the general's order, three hundred Shence Army soldiers rushed forward.

"A bunch of ants."

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Zhixia sent three hundred soldiers, including the general, flying dozens of meters away, all of them unconscious.

Not far away, inside the First Prince's residence, two men in black suddenly opened their eyes and said, "The Emperor." It seems the person Li Haoyang mentioned has arrived.

"Holy crap, this woman is amazing! She just dealt with it with a flick of her sleeve?"

"This second prince really kicked a steel plate; he kicked himself to his death."

"This kind of scourge deserves to die."

Everyone was whispering among themselves.

Lu Chen walked over, patted Xiao Ningyun's head, and said, "Xiaoyun, are you alright? These are all bad people."

"Master, I'm alright."

Xiao Ningyun was still eating candied hawthorns, showing no sign of fear whatsoever.

"Qingcheng, let's go! Let's break off the engagement first."

In the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace of Tianyu

At this time, the Tianyu Imperial Palace was holding its morning court session.

"Minister Mu, you heard what the First Prince just said, didn't you? Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your daughter's murder of the First Prince in the secret realm?"

Li Huang's calm words carried a hint of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, I know nothing about what Qingcheng has done. I have not seen her since she ran away from home. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have arranged for my second brother to go to the Wanfa Sect to have Qingcheng return and marry the Crown Prince immediately. However... I am worried that the Wanfa Sect will not agree and will not release her. I would appreciate Your Majesty's assistance at that time."

Emperor Li cursed inwardly, "You old fox, Mu Lingzhi! Are you saying that whether or not I can marry your daughter depends on whether my royal family dares to hold Wanfazong accountable?"

At that moment, a Shence Army soldier rushed in in a panic.

—Report—

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, something has happened."

The chief eunuch stepped forward and roared, "How dare you! Can't you see that court is in session? What kind of decorum is this, all this panic!"

The Shence Army soldier stammered, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Something terrible has happened! The Second Prince..."

"What's wrong with him? What happened?" Emperor Li asked.

"The Second Prince has been murdered."

--boom--

The news spread like wildfire, plunging the entire court into a deathly silence, with everyone kneeling on the ground.

After a long silence, Emperor Li finally stood up and angrily demanded, "What exactly happened? Who killed the Second Prince?"

"Your Majesty, according to reports from below, the Second Prince took a fancy to a little girl's demon beast on the street, and also took a fancy to a woman, wanting to... wanting to take them both away, but was killed by the woman. Three hundred Shence Army soldiers rushed to the scene, but they were unable to save the Second Prince."

"How dare they murder my Heavenly Mandate Prince in my own Heavenly Mandate Imperial City! Guards, have the Elder of the Hall of Worship lead the Divine Strategy Army to arrest those two women for me!"

Sudden.

A voice echoed throughout the entire imperial city.

"You don't need to come and arrest us, we're already here."

"Today, Wanfazong has brought his beloved disciple Mu Qingcheng to annul the engagement with the Crown Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty."

"What? The engagement is called off?"

Everyone in the hall looked out, their faces filled with disbelief.

At this moment, people inside the imperial city were also discussing it.

"The Myriad Laws Sect? What kind of sect is the Myriad Laws Sect? I've never heard of it before."

"You don't even know the Myriad Laws Sect? How dare you call yourself a person from the Eastern Region?"

"I was in seclusion for some time and only recently came out. I would appreciate it if you could explain a few things to me, fellow Daoist."

"I see! Listen carefully then, this Myriad Laws Sect recently destroyed the Sky-Supporting Holy Land and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, and they only recently began accepting disciples. It's a pity I was eliminated, sigh!"

"If you say that, then the Myriad Laws Sect is very powerful."

"Of course they're strong! I've heard they have several saints among them."

"So they've come to annul the engagement? We're in for a good show now."

Inside the Golden Palace, the wisps of ambergris swirled among the beams and pillars. Emperor Li slammed his fist on the armrest of his dragon throne, shattering it as shards of glass and wood chips flew everywhere: "Outrageous! How dare the Myriad Laws Sect annul the engagement just like that!"

At this moment, Li Haoyang stared angrily outside, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh. If the engagement was broken off today, he would become a laughingstock throughout the entire Eastern Region. Even if he was already on his deathbed, he would torture Mu Qingcheng to death. He secretly winked at the guards outside, signaling them to go to the Prince's residence and deliver the message.

Mu Lingzhi felt a little happy. The Myriad Laws Sect was mysterious and powerful. If the Mu family could get in touch with the Myriad Laws Sect, then the Mu family would be worry-free for ten thousand years.

Lu Chen leisurely walked into the palace. The palace's array was useless. Mu Qingcheng, Xiao Ningyun, and the others followed behind him. Their black robes fluttered without wind. They said coldly, "Our Qingcheng looks down on your Tianyu Dynasty's eldest prince. Now that Qingcheng has made up her mind, she has come to annul the engagement. If your Tianyu Dynasty knows what's good for you, you should sign and stamp this annulment agreement."

"Do you really think your Myriad Laws Sect can control everything? You were the ones who killed my son just now!" Emperor Li asked angrily.

"So what if it is? Your son deserved to die, so we killed him. My Wanfa Sect is still reasonable. If you obediently sign the annulment agreement, then everything will be fine. If you don't sign, I will have a good talk with you." Lu Chen said.

"Very well, does your Myriad Laws Sect intend to wage war against my Heavenly Mandate Dynasty?" Emperor Li asked angrily.

"Start a war? Your Heavenly Revelation Dynasty doesn't even deserve it!" Lu Chen said with a hint of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Li was so enraged that his blood boiled and his whole body trembled.

"Men, kill these men!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen royal retainers rushed out from all directions...

"A bunch of ants."

Shen Zhixia activated her Sacred Domain. She drew her sword and unleashed a single strike, the sword energy traversing the entire palace, cleaving more than a dozen guards in two, and causing countless palaces to collapse.

"A saint...she is a saint."

The guards retreated one by one, all looking at Lu Chen and his companions in fear.

Having lost over a dozen Saint-level retainers in one fell swoop, the emperor on the dragon throne slumped like a rag doll, blood gushing from his mouth staining his dragon robe. "Your Majesty!"

The eunuchs screamed in alarm and rushed forward to help him up: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Will you, Li Huang, sign this annulment agreement or not?" Lu Chen asked softly, his tone already tinged with impatience.

The people of the Tianyu Dynasty were heartbroken to hear these words. They had been attacked and forced to annul their engagement, but no one dared to step forward and speak.

"Does your Myriad Laws Sect truly show no mercy whatsoever? Do you truly intend to fight my Heavenly Decree Dynasty to the death?"

"Your Tianyu Dynasty has no bargaining power. I'll ask you one last time: will you sign the annulment agreement or not?" Lu Chen said coldly.

"Very well, then you can all stay here today!" Emperor Li produced a jade token in his hand and crushed it instantly.

Lu Chen watched all of this without stopping it.

From the mountains behind the palace, an angry voice suddenly rang out: "What's going on? Didn't we agree that we shouldn't be disturbed during our seclusion until the dynasty is destroyed?"

Upon hearing the voice, Emperor Li immediately knelt down: "Ancestor, someone wants to destroy our Tianyu Dynasty. Please come out of seclusion to resolve this crisis."
