Chapter 91

"Kneel and admit your fault."

Yan Kang's words resonated with many, and those eager to curry favor were numerous. Looking at their righteous expressions, one might truly think that the young master of the Zhao family had committed some heinous crime.

It was nothing more than humiliation.

If Zhao Yun complied, the stain on Liu Ruyue's reputation would be erased, and all the blame would fall on Zhao Yun. Liu Ruyue, as the innocent victim, would be blameless, creating a perfect scenario.

In fact, Liu Ruyue thought the same way.

She stood there, silent, showing no intention of stopping the proceedings.

"You really are something."

Lin Xie leaned against the railing, holding a wine jug, and sneered. The "you" he referred to was Liu Ruyue. It was one thing to switch the narrative, but to remain indifferent while her own brother-in-law was being bullied and wronged was another matter. What kind of mindset was this? Remember, you now represent the entire Wanggan Ancient City. Are you going to let this scene play out just to achieve perfection, even at the cost of Zhao Yun's dignity?

Such a proud and righteous woman, how hypocritical.

Therefore, his decision was still correct. Compared to appearance, lineage, and power, he valued character more. Even if he were to marry, it would never be to Liu Ruyue.

"Kneel and admit your fault."

The shouts continued, one after another, each more indignant than the last.

"This is exactly what I wanted."

The young disciples of Wanggan Ancient City were all loyal spectators, many with playful smiles. Especially the one who spread the false information to lure Zhao Yun, Wang Yang, who secretly laughed the most. He was the mastermind behind this plot.

Since fighting in the city was not allowed, they had to find some entertainment.

The current drama was far more interesting than a peaceful performance.

This is the human world.

Some people just can't stand to see others in a lowly position and always want to step on them.

But not everyone was like Wang Yang.

There were those who understood the situation but dared not speak out. Each had their own family behind them, and it was best to stay out of it. In a world where the strong ruled, the weak had to be cautious to stay safe.

"What's going on in there!"

On the street, many passersby glanced over. The shouts from the building were clearly audible. Who had committed such a grave offense?

"I saw Zhao Yun go in just now."

Someone said, craning their neck to look inside.

"This..."

Many raised their eyebrows. If this was true, it would be very interesting. What kind of situation was this? A waste of a life, just stay at home! Why come here for excitement?

"Kneel and admit your fault."

Yan Kang's shout was the most resounding, and it seemed as if a halo of righteousness appeared above his head, as if he had been appointed by the gods to punish the wicked.

His words stirred a thousand waves.

Those who enjoyed chaos were everywhere, and they joined in the commotion.

"Admit your fault, you bitches, are you all sick in the head!"

Niu Hong's curse was loud and domineering, making people's ears ring.

It was infuriating, truly infuriating.

In this world, how had those who twisted the truth become so righteous?

This was Wanggan Ancient City's territory, and they were being so arrogant?

Zhao Yun remained silent, looking left and right. Was this angering everyone? The reason for kneeling was indeed novel.

"Will you kneel or not?" Yan Kang smiled at Zhao Yun.

"Zhao family members only kneel to their parents." Zhao Yun's words were calm.

"Your resolve is rare."

Yan Kang smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

At that moment, Zhao Yun's mind was momentarily confused.

Indeed, Yan Kang had used an illusion on him. His eyes were not ordinary; they had a natural talent, and making eye contact would drag one into an illusion.

Wait and see, Zhao Yun will kneel.

The young disciples of the great clans were eagerly waiting, knowing the secret of Yan Kang's eyes. Even a martial cultivator, let alone a broken-meridian waste, would fall for it.

"Heavenly Eye."

Zhao Yun murmured in his heart. He had heard of the Heavenly Eye before, a special eye with unique abilities. Yan Kang's type could cast illusions with just a look, without any seals, making it hard to defend against. The ability was quite practical.

However, Yan Kang had chosen the wrong target.

Using eye power to cast illusions involved the mind. If one's mental level was not high enough, even a Heavenly Eye or a divine eye would be useless.

Clearly, his mental level was higher than Yan Kang's.

This was all thanks to the Purple Spirit Fruit, which had transformed his mind. Just this point alone made Yan Kang's Heavenly Eye illusion ineffective against him. Only if someone's mental level was higher than his could they maximize the eye's power.

"Good boy."

Yan Kang raised an eyebrow, and many in the crowd were surprised. A martial cultivator with a Heavenly Eye, casting an illusion on a broken-meridian waste, and it didn't work.

"That's not right, he's a martial cultivator."

Lin Xie narrowed his eyes, seeing clearly. An ordinary person couldn't break the Heavenly Eye illusion. The one-armed Zhao Yun was not a broken-meridian waste, which was interesting. It seemed no one in Wanggan Ancient City knew this!

Below.

Zhao Yun had already taken a step, bypassing Yan Kang, and didn't bother to argue. Most importantly, he didn't want to reveal his martial cultivator identity. If this were outside, in the wilderness, he would have killed this brat.

"Where are you going."

Yan Kang coldly snorted, not daring to show his face after the illusion was broken. He needed to save face, especially in front of Liu Ruyue. Since he had spoken, Zhao Yun must kneel today.

A gust of wind, and he grabbed at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun frowned, easily dodging.

"Still not kneeling and admitting your fault?"

Not just Yan Kang, the disciples blocking the door also rushed forward. Since Zhao Yun wouldn't kneel, they were happy to help.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Zhao Yun moved through the gaps between people, his movements mysterious.

"This movement..."

Lin Xie straightened up, raising an eyebrow. He seemed to recognize Zhao Yun. Both were one-armed, and this movement was equally profound.

"He's a martial cultivator."

Many narrowed their eyes. Though they hadn't seen Zhao Yun use true essence, they could sense it. This movement was not something an ordinary person could perform. This explained why Zhao Yun could break the Heavenly Eye illusion.

"It's you."

Liu Ruyue murmured, frowning. She had only learned today that Zhao Yun could cultivate. Seeing his profound movement, she recognized him. Wasn't he the one she saw in the Qingfeng City Lord's residence, the one pulled to be her husband? No wonder it felt so familiar; he was her brother-in-law.

Surprised, truly surprised.

She had underestimated Zhao Yun.

But it was just an underestimation. In her eyes, Zhao Yun was still weak. What surprised her was how he had repaired his meridians and reached the True Spirit Realm in such a short time. The progress was too fast.

"What a familiar movement."

Compared to Liu Ruyue and Lin Xie, Han Ming and Yuwen Hao were less certain. Their cultivation levels and perspectives differed.

"Damn, when did he repair his meridians."

Wang Yang snorted, his eyes flashing with cold light. He was grinding his teeth. He had planned to humiliate Zhao Yun, but this surprise caught him off guard. Was Zhao Yun's cultivation enhanced?

Like him, many had grim faces.

Most of them were enemies of the Zhao family in Wanggan Ancient City. They couldn't stand to see Zhao Yun succeed. A waste of a life had suddenly become a martial cultivator, and they had been kept in the dark.

The feeling of being deceived was truly unpleasant.

Before today, they had seemed superior to Zhao Yun.

"Capture him."

The shouts were chaotic. The spectators were surprised, while Yan Kang and his group were trying to catch Zhao Yun. Whether he was a martial cultivator or a waste, they had to catch him. With so many chasing, they didn't believe he could escape.

"It can't be hidden anymore."

Zhao Yun used the Wind God Step, dodging and weaving. Saying it couldn't be hidden wasn't accurate; it was forced out. He couldn't be forced to kneel by these people!

"Who is plotting against me."

His mental voice carried a cold edge. If he hadn't been lured to the Moon Viewing Tower, he wouldn't have been humiliated. He had been too hasty and careless.

Now, with his martial cultivator identity revealed, trouble was inevitable.

Not to mention others, just Han Ming and Yuwen Hao were not to be underestimated. If they were determined to take revenge on him and the Zhao family, it would be difficult for the family.

Crack! Bang! Clang!

The Moon Viewing Tower was in chaos, with the sounds of breaking furniture. In the chase, many tables and chairs were smashed, leaving the inn in disarray.

Lifting his gaze, the scene was quite a spectacle.

Dozens of young disciples from great clans chased Zhao Yun throughout the building, but they couldn't catch him. Zhao Yun's movements were too agile. Even experts like Yin Hun couldn't help but be amazed by Zhao Yun's mysterious movements.

"This drama is quite interesting."

Lin Xie took a sip of wine, glancing at Liu Ruyue. She still seemed indifferent, not planning to intervene. As the host and representative of the city, she was neglecting the face of Wanggan Ancient City. Zhao Yun was still her brother-in-law and a member of Wanggan Ancient City. Her inaction was disappointing.

Wait and see, this will be a farce.

And the main character of this farce will not be Zhao Yun, but Liu Ruyue.

"Stop for me."

Yan Kang roared, striking out with a palm. Frustrated by his inability to catch Zhao Yun, he attacked directly. True essence flowed from his palm, making the strike powerful.

Zhao Yun ignored it, dodging instantly.

Though he dodged, the stairs of the inn were shattered by the palm.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The sounds of destruction continued. Yan Kang and those chasing Zhao Yun attacked, their faces grim. If they couldn't catch him, what was the point of their existence?

"Since you like to cause trouble, let's make it a big one."

Zhao Yun sneered. These brats weren't just asking for a beating; they were asking for a disaster. If they wanted to cause trouble, he would give them a big one.

Explosion talismans, he had plenty in his bag.
