“Human, why are you leaving? It’s 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 wasn’t just Ah Zha. Many people didn’t 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.

Wasn’t it better than running around in the sea mist?

Jiang Hao didn’t explain to those who questioned him. He wasn’t forcing them to leave. On the contrary, he preferred acting alone. It’s just that he didn’t 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 didn’t believe that the people on the periphery would be safe.

So even if they were punished, it wouldn’t matter.

They just didn’t know if they would make it in time.

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

However, it wasn’t that easy.

Ah Zha seemed to have lost its way.

“What’s going on? Why can’t I find the direction? It seems to be getting blurry,” Ah Zha said.

“Even you can’t find the way, Senior?” Zheng Shijiu was surprised.

“It’s 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 couldn’t even see the way. It was like waiting for death to come.

The others could only agree.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He hadn’t seen much with the technique from the nameless manual, so he couldn’t 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 hadn’t 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.

“It’s just to take a look. Speaking of which, I haven’t been there before, so let’s take a look, ” Bi Zhu said with a smile.

“Aren’t 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 didn’t 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.

“That’s 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, it’s fine. Let’s not go.” Bi Zhu looked at him. “I was just joking.” Shangguan Hengyu snorted coldly and didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t care. She just let him go wherever he wanted.

“Maybe it’s 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 didn’t look frivolous and flighty like before.

“It certainly doesn’t 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 space. ‘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.

“That’s 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, I’m only slightly inferior to the astonishing geniuses.” Bi Zhu shrugged. “But Auntie Qiao just laughs at me, and so does my second brother. Although my eldest brother doesn’t speak, I’m sure he’s laughing inside too.”

“That’s 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. “I’m fine and dandy. Why would I need to say my last words?”

“That’s 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.

“What’s going on?”

The sudden change shocked him.

“A curse. Haven’t you encountered it before?” Bi Zhu stood in the center of the formation.

“A curse?” Shangguan Hengyu’s 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. It’s the curse on my body. According to your words, you’re 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. “Didn’t I just tell you? I am the first genius of the royal family and am unparalleled throughout history. The entire Imperial City can’t even match my strength. This is the real me. It’s just that no one believes me..”
