Chapter 824: Awaited by All

This night was a long and difficult one for everyone within Wanliu City.

But no matter how long the night, it always passes. When dawn arrived and the heavens split the darkness, Wanliu City, which had been brewing all night, suddenly erupted into an indescribable bustle.

"The martial contest for marriage is finally about to begin. I wonder what kind of spectacular battles we’ll see today, it’s really something to look forward to!"

"Lord Emperor Liu will definitely show himself, the Green Lotus Saint and the Imperial Sons are bound to appear too. I can’t wait to see them."

"Today’s martial contest for marriage will surely be a historic moment. Countless young talents are gathered here. I heard there are no fewer than five Imperial Sons alone—wonder who will finally win the beauty’s hand!"

Voices of discussion flowed endlessly, rising and falling. The entire Wanliu City had turned into a boiling ocean.

Everyone craned their necks in anticipation, waiting for the official start of the martial contest for marriage.

Inside the great hall, Su Han opened his eyes and rose to his feet.

After leaving the Liu Divine’s Void Realm last night, he went straight back to his residence. A night of cultivation, and he felt he had touched upon a corner of the Time Law.

"Fairy Sister Yun Xian, I’ll be able to see you very soon!"

Su Han’s eyes gleamed, his heart pounding, filled with expectation. He wished he could see Lu Yunxian right this instant.

"Dugu Imperial Son, Meng Po Empress, Heir of the Li Family—none of you can stop me. I will clear every obstacle away for Fairy Sister Yun Xian!"

Battle intent surged in Su Han’s heart like a raging tide, his conviction incomparably firm.

Although these Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters were strong, for Fairy Sister Yun Xian’s sake, Su Han had made a bold decision, one that would definitely shock the world.

Of course, this decision of Su Han’s carried immense risk, but time waited for no one. For Fairy Sister Yun Xian, he had no choice but to take the gamble.

"Your Highness!"

Eunuch Sun was, as always, bowing and attending at his side. He did not ask about last night’s events, and Su Han did not say much to him.

"Your Highness, the martial contest for marriage is about to begin!"

Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue had arrived as well. Their purpose this time was to broaden their horizons.

Whether it was Emperor Liu, the Green Lotus Saint, or the other various powers’ prodigies, all of them made their Heart Spirits surge with excitement and expectation. They wanted to see the bearing of those heavenly prides with their own eyes.

"Let’s go, we’ll go out and wait."

The battlefield for the martial contest for marriage was not inside the city, so there was no need to gather at any particular place; they only needed to wait for the Liu Family to arrive.

Accompanied by Eunuch Sun, Su Han led Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue out of the great hall, waiting anxiously.

"Nineteenth Prince, I’m glad you didn’t get scared and run away. But this time, you won’t be so lucky. I’ll personally defeat you and make you wish you were dead!"

A voice full of Demonic Nature and wicked charm rang out, not bothering to hide its killing intent, openly provoking Su Han.

Su Han looked up and saw the Dugu Imperial Son, clad in a black-patterned long robe, staring at him from not far away.

Too many prodigies had come this time. Even with arrangements all across Wanliu City, many people still gathered together, and the Dugu Imperial Son happened to be quite close to Su Han.

The Dugu Imperial Son had long since been placed on Su Han’s must-kill list. Whether for past grudges or because of his Demon Bloodline, Su Han would never let him go.

What of an Imperial Son, what of Saint-level strength? They all had to die!

In the face of the Dugu Imperial Son’s provocation, Su Han did not respond. He liked clean, decisive battles; as for useless trash talk, that wasn’t his specialty.

"Looks like you really are stupid, daring to make enemies everywhere. Today this old lady is going to beat you until you’re kneeling on the ground begging for mercy!"

A wild and arrogant voice rang out—another familiar face.

On the other side, the Meng Po Empress, dressed in a pink dress, was in the full bloom of youth, stunningly beautiful. But in her pair of Peach Blossom eyes, fierce rage and overwhelming hatred were burning as she locked onto Su Han.

Yesterday she was defeated by Su Han in public, losing face, making her hatred spiral out of control. She wanted to tear Su Han into pieces. If not for the You Mau Great Saint stopping her, she might have exploded on the spot yesterday.

Now that the martial contest for marriage was about to begin, a great battle was inevitable. She cared about nothing else; she had already fixed her sights on Su Han and swore to take revenge.

A Saint Realm First Layer Dugu Imperial Son, and a Semi-Saint level Meng Po Empress—both of them were powerful enemies not inferior to Su Han, and also strong contenders in this martial contest for marriage. Now that both had locked onto Su Han, his situation was clearly worrisome.

"Your Highness, caution above all. The Green Lotus Saint is good, but your life is more important. If the situation turns bad, please withdraw at once!"

Eunuch Sun was worried for Su Han as well, using Divine Sense transmission to remind him.

Su Han nodded but said nothing more. His resolve was already set—no one could make him back down.

"Look quickly, the Dugu Imperial Son and the Meng Po Empress are both targeting the Nineteenth Prince. Looks like the Nineteenth Prince is in big trouble. If I were him, I’d just concede directly. Otherwise, with those two Emperor’s Daughters and Imperial Sons on you, even if you don’t die, you’ll be skinned alive!"

"Yesterday the Nineteenth Prince defeated the Meng Po Empress. With the Meng Po Empress’s temperament, she’s bound to seek revenge. I just didn’t expect he’d also offend the Dugu Imperial Son—that’s a true Saint Realm Imperial Son, incredibly strong, ranking near the top across the entire Central Plains. No matter how strong the Nineteenth Prince is, he’s only in the Supreme Realm. There’s just no way he can fight that!"

"Looks like the Nineteenth Prince admires the Green Lotus Saint fiercely. Otherwise, in this kind of crisis, he would never continue to take part in the martial contest for marriage. I didn’t expect the Nineteenth Prince to be such a hopeless romantic!"

The confrontation between Su Han and the Dugu Imperial Son and Meng Po Empress immediately drew a lot of attention, and all sorts of comments broke out.

None of those voices favored Su Han. After all, even if Su Han’s strength matched the Meng Po Empress, there was still the Dugu Imperial Son. He had no chance at all!

Su Han’s expression remained calm. Neither the provocations of the Dugu Imperial Son and Meng Po Empress nor the surrounding discussions stirred even the slightest ripple in his emotions.

Ever since learning the truth behind this martial contest for marriage, he had already shifted his target away from the Dugu Imperial Son and Meng Po Empress and onto that Heir of the Li Family, whose name was known yet face unseen.

Compared to the Heir of the Li Family, the Dugu Imperial Son and Meng Po Empress were nothing!

"Hmph, keep acting all calm. We’ll see how you fare later. If I don’t break all four of your limbs and make you kneel and beg for mercy, I’m not the Meng Po Empress!"

The Meng Po Empress glared viciously at Su Han. The resentment in her heart had piled up to the extreme, on the verge of erupting, and the target of that eruption was Su Han.

She had decided that even if she didn’t fight for Lu Yunxian, she absolutely had to defeat Su Han and avenge herself.

On the other side, the Dugu Imperial Son was also staring coldly at Su Han. The killing intent in his eyes was undisguised and chilling.

The martial contest for marriage had yet to begin, but the atmosphere here had already turned incomparably Slaughterous, cold as ice.

Meanwhile, all across Wanliu City, the prodigies who had rushed in from everywhere were flexing their fists, readying themselves for a great battle.

"The Liu Family has arrived!"

Under the anticipation of the masses, a long green rainbow shot out from the Liu Family compound, and a surge of Imperial Might descended in an instant!
