In front of the gates of Goldstone City, Jin Hao, along with the city officials and the Lin family, were already waiting at the entrance.
Before long, the wedding escort squad from the Profound Demon Sect arrived.
Even before they could clearly see the figures, Jin Hao, Lin Dadong, and the others felt an overwhelming Nascent Soul pressure descending upon them like a tidal wave!
The surrounding spiritual energy roiled and surged, with gusts of wind howling incessantly.
As soon as the Profound Demon Sect's wedding escort squad reached Goldstone City, the Nascent Soul cultivators released their pressure, enveloping those who had come to greet them.
This was the Profound Demon Sect's power dispy!
Deploying so many experts from the sect was to ensure that the young master could marry his bride!
Jin Hao and Lin Dadong swallowed hard, their faces slightly pale.
Too powerful!
The Profound Demon Sect's escort squad even included several experts at the Ninth Level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
The officials of Goldstone City were sweating, fear flickering in their eyes.
The Profound Demon Sect, with just a casual escort squad, far surpassed the strength of Goldstone City...
Truly worthy of being a major demon sect!
The people of Goldstone City were utterly shocked by the Profound Demon Sect's arrival!
The Misty Sect had only sent Elder Xu; it seemed this marriage wouldn't be easy to annul!
"Welcome, Young Master Li of the Profound Demon Sect!"
"Haha! It's been a few days, and the young master looks even better! Please, come in, come in!"
As the escort squad approached, City Lord Jin Hao put on a fawning smile and stepped forward to greet them.
Though he wore a smile, his heart was filled with deep worry.
The surrounding Nascent Soul pressure was suffocating him, and he didn't even dare to mention the annulment of the marriage!
Nor did he dare to speak of Elder Ying and the others being killed by Elder Xu!
Li Jiuye snorted with a ugh, casually waving at Jin Hao.
When he saw Lin Yan'er standing beside Lin Dadong and his wife, his eyes widened, a gleam flickering within them.
She wore a simple white dress, her figure graceful and pure.
Her slender and elegant form was like a willow branch, standing tall and poised.
Her fair and beautiful face exuded endless youthful beauty, like a lotus emerging from water, captivating and enchanting.
Her smooth, white skin was radiant and delicate, her long neck elegant and alluring.
A gentle breeze stirred her long bck hair, showcasing the unique charm of a young maiden.
After marveling at her beauty, Li Jiuye took a step forward and jumped off the carriage.
Then, surrounded by the Profound Demon Sect members, he crossed his arms behind his back and coldly questioned, "Jin Hao, what's going on?!"
"I told you, the young master is here to fetch the bride today, and this is how you arrange for the Lin family's young dy?!"
"Where is the Phoenix Crown and Bridal Robes?"
"Do you intend for the Lin family's young dy to dress like this and return to the sect with the young master to get married?!"
Boom!
Li Jiuye's Nascent Soul stage aura poured out like a flood.
Seeing the young master's displeasure, the Profound Demon Sect members released their Nascent Soul auras, pressing down on the surroundings!
The people of Goldstone City turned pale, unable to withstand the overwhelming Nascent Soul pressure, retreating repeatedly.
Even Lin Yan'er turned pale, clutching tightly to her mother.
"Young master, please calm down!"
Jin Hao hurriedly ran to Li Jiuye's side, his face full of bitterness.
His plump body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Surrounded by the Profound Demon Sect members, he dared not mention the annulment... Elder Xu, please come out quickly!
"Jin Hao!"
"It seems you don't want to stay in Goldstone City anymore!"
"Hurry and take Miss Lin back to change her clothes and bring her here again!"
Li Jiuye shouted angrily, his sinister eyes fshing with wrath.
If it weren't for Lin Yan'er's beauty pleasing him, he wouldn't have bothered speaking to Jin Hao, opting instead to beat him up!
"Didn't you hear the young master?"
"Hurry up and go!"
The Three Yin Elders and the Five-Fg Vanguard gred fiercely at Jin Hao, their expressions unfriendly.
It seemed that if he showed any reluctance, they would erupt completely!
This frightened Jin Hao into trembling, his heart filled with bitterness.
Ahead, Lin Dadong and the others from Goldstone City were also full of worry.
The Profound Demon Sect came prepared; Elder Xu... could he successfully annul this marriage...
Just as Jin Hao was caught in a dilemma, an elderly voice with a hint of ughter came from a nearby carriage.
Soon after, an old man with white hair and a gray robe slowly stepped out of the carriage.
"Li Jiuye, I will be taking Lin Yan'er with me. This marriage is off."
When Xu Xiao stepped forward, Jin Hao, Lin Dadong, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With this Inner Sect Elder from the Misty Sect backing them, they had the confidence to say no to the Profound Demon Sect.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the words of the white-haired old man, Li Jiuye's expression changed dramatically, his narrow, sinister eyes filled with shock and anger.
"Who are you, old man?!"
"Do you think you have the right to speak here?!"
Li Jiuye pushed Jin Hao aside, advancing with anger to question him.
The Profound Demon Sect members followed, their imposing presence and overwhelming pressure once again causing the people of Goldstone City to change their expressions!
"Haha, I am Xu Xiao, an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect."
"Lin Yan'er is a member of our Misty Sect, and we do not agree to this marriage."
Xu Xiao spoke coldly, his old eyes carrying a hint of mockery and contempt.
"An Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect?!"
Xu Xiao's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking the hearts of everyone from the Profound Demon Sect.
The Misty Sect had sent someone??
Li Jiuye and his group were in turmoil.
And it was an Inner Sect Elder from the Misty Sect?!
Would a mere Outer Sect Disciple arm an Inner Sect Elder from the Misty Sect?!
Initially shocked, Li Jiuye and the others were momentarily stunned.
But sensing that this white-haired elder seemed to only have the cultivation of the Core Formation Stage, the Profound Demon Sect members exchanged angry gnces.
A mere Core Formation elder dared to cim he was an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect?!
Such btant lies!
Goldstone City dared to defy the orders of the Profound Demon Sect?
And even hired someone to impersonate a Misty Sect elder to annul the marriage??
Courting death!
"Old man! At your age, you dare impersonate a Misty Sect elder? You must be tired of living!"
A burly man looked at Xu Xiao, who was blocking their way, and immediately flew forward, intending to kill him!
He was the Fire Banner Vanguard, at the Third Level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Goldstone City clearly didn't want to let her go, so he was ready to make an example!
The burly man conjured a long bde magical artifact, sshing it down at Xu Xiao's head.
Nascent Soul spiritual energy surged, the bde gleaming with light, its power earth-shattering!
"Boom!"
In an instant, a fiery red divine sword shot forth!
The Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword, carrying immense power, charged straight at the middle of the long bde.
"Cng!"
The long bde collided with the divine sword, shattering instantly.
It then smashed through the Fire Banner Vanguard's two protective magical artifacts, directly blowing his head off!
Red and yellow fmes began to burn on both the broken bde and the Fire Banner Vanguard.
In less than three breaths, the broken bde melted into a pool of molten metal in the fmes.
And the Fire Banner Vanguard, his headless body was charred bck by the fmes, a gruesome sight!
"Hiss!"
The scene unfolded so quickly that neither side had time to react.
When the charred body of the Fire Banner Vanguard fell with a thud, everyone looked at Xu Xiao in disbelief, gasping in shock.
Their eyes were filled with intense astonishment!
