Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Invitation?

Or Ancient Liu Family’s?

Su Han looked puzzled, feeling perplexed. Could it be Liu Xu sending this to him?

Among the Ancient Liu Family, Su Han knew few people; apart from Lu Yunxian and Elder Liu Mei, there was only Liu Xu left. Currently, he was playing the role of the Nineteenth Prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, known only to Liu Xu.

He reached out to take the invitation, and just one glance shocked him immensely.

”Martial arts tournament for marriage!”

The four gold-embossed characters on the invitation immediately caught Su Han’s eyes; this invitation turned out to be inviting him to join a martial arts tournament for marriage.

Is the Ancient Liu Family marrying off Liu Xu?

Su Han squinted to read further, but soon his expression changed, and he fiercely slapped the invitation onto the table.

Bang!

The table in front was shattered into pieces by Su Han’s slap.

”Such audacity, daring to hold a martial arts tournament for Fairy Sister Yun Xian!”

Su Han’s face showed anger, and a raging fire burned in his dark pupils. A month of closed-door cultivation had allowed him to control his emotions, but this matter concerning Fairy Sister Yun Xian made Su Han lose his restraint.

The contents of the invitation were simple: the Ancient Liu Family wanted to host a martial arts tournament for Lu Yunxian, inviting him to participate.

Not Liu Xu, but Fairy Sister Yun Xian!

This greatly surprised Su Han; he never expected that the Ancient Liu Family would hold a martial arts tournament for Fairy Sister Yun Xian.

”If this is Fairy Sister Yun Xian’s wish, then it’s fine. But if someone is forcing her, even if it’s the Ancient Family, I will make them pay a bloody price!”

Su Han’s eyes were sharp, like knives and swords, and an unprecedented fury erupted within him, causing Li Mingliang to retreat in shock, eyes wide with fear.

He felt Su Han was like a volcano about to erupt, intimidating and unapproachable.

However, the month of secluded cultivation was not without effect; soon, Su Han controlled his anger, suppressed the fire within, and his aura was no longer so intimidating.

Earlier, Su Han had learned from Liu Xu how much the Ancient Liu Family valued Lu Yunxian; the household master, Emperor Liu, even personally took her in as an adopted daughter, which eased Su Han’s mind.

But he never expected that shortly after, the Ancient Liu Family would host a martial arts tournament for Lu Yunxian.

Whether marrying her off or inviting a husband into their home, neither was a good thing for Lu Yunxian; surely there’s another secret behind this.

At this moment, Su Han wished he could grow wings and fly to the Ancient Liu Family to see firsthand what was happening.

But the Heavenly Sword Dynasty was very far from Liuzhou, and even though Su Han felt urgent, he couldn’t cross the thousands of miles separating them, and the invitation clearly marked the date of the tournament.

”In a month, the martial arts tournament will be held in Wanliu City of Liuzhou!”

Wanliu City, like the Imperial Capital, is a stronghold of the Immortal Forces; hosting the tournament there would definitely attract attention.

”A month’s time!”

Su Han knew the Ancient Liu Family had given ample time, because such invitations couldn’t have been sent only to him but also to other geniuses from Central Plains.

”When did this invitation arrive?”

Su Han turned and asked Li Mingliang beside him.

”Your Highness, it was delivered by an envoy from the Ancient Liu Family three days ago. Because you were in seclusion, this old servant didn’t disturb you.”

Seeing Su Han’s seriousness about the invitation, Li Mingliang dared not conceal anything, quickly revealing the truth.

Three days ago; it seems there’s still plenty of time, enough for him to reach Liuzhou.

”Where’s the envoy?”

Su Han wanted to learn about the Ancient Liu Family’s internal situation from the messenger and understand the reason behind the martial arts tournament.

”Your Highness, the envoy left after delivering the message, stating that he had to deliver this invitation elsewhere and that Your Highness should head straight to Liuzhou!”

Li Mingliang’s words left Su Han feeling regretful; seemingly, only by going to Liuzhou could he get to the bottom of the truth.

”Do you know who else received this invitation?”

Su Han asked again, wanting to understand the Ancient Liu Family’s purpose this time and who his competitors might be.

About this, Li Mingliang had carefully inquired before, knowing Su Han valued the Ancient Liu Family highly and had asked him about their news at their first meeting.

”The Ancient Liu Family made a big move this time. As this old servant knows, all the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are on their invitation list, but how many will participate is unknown.”

The Hidden Dragon List contains a thousand names. Even if half were male, there would be five hundred, meaning the Ancient Liu Family sent at least five hundred invitations, implying a large scale and ambitious attempt.

For the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are the elite youth from Central Plains; in this era, no others surpass them in excellence.

”By the way, I heard the Green Lotus Fairy recently succeeded in breaking through and is now the Green Lotus Saint!”

Li Mingliang nearly forgot an important piece of news, promptly reporting it to Su Han.

Green Lotus Saint!

Su Han was surprised that Fairy Sister Yun Xian had surpassed him, achieving the Saint Realm.

However, could Lu Yunxian’s advancement to Saint Realm be related to the martial arts tournament?

With a slight frown, Su Han was filled with doubts, but the lack of information prevented him from making a judgment.

”Forget it; since they’ve invited me, I’ll just head straight to Liuzhou; everything will be revealed then!”

Su Han refrained from further speculation, realizing the mystery couldn’t be guessed from limited clues, necessitating him to go to Liuzhou to see what’s happening, hopefully meeting Fairy Sister Yun Xian.

Why does the Ancient Liu Family want to host a martial arts tournament for Lu Yunxian?

Is this Lu Yunxian’s wish or the Ancient Liu Family’s?

What is Emperor Liu’s attitude, who took Lu Yunxian as an adopted daughter?

Does this concern the Heir of the Li Family?

These questions crossed Su Han’s mind, but none had answers.

With Fairy Sister Yun Xian involved, Su Han felt his mind was in turmoil, wishing he could fly over at once.

”Bring Qingyue, we will set off today!”

Su Han couldn’t wait any longer; he only wished to see Fairy Sister Yun Xian soon.

Li Mingliang hurried to arrange, finding Li Qingyue from the Duel Arena where he had been diligently cultivating, and then organized the travel preparations.

After a month of focused cultivation, the cold aura around Li Qingyue diminished somewhat, replaced by a more chilling presence, and his eyes had become even sharper, evidently effective.

”Your Highness, knowing you are going to participate in the Ancient Liu Family’s martial arts tournament, the Great Emperor personally assigned this old servant to accompany you on your journey!”

Eunuch Sun proactively approached, temporarily becoming Su Han’s Protector, as per the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s wishes, which Su Han didn’t refuse.

This time, Su Han aimed for speed and simplicity, taking only Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue, aside from Eunuch Sun, without too many items.

”Let’s go!”

Su Han boarded the Golden Chariot with Eunuch Sun and left the Imperial Capital, heading straight for Liuzhou.

Fairy Sister Yun Xian, wait for me; I will certainly protect you!
