"Ye Luo!" Situ Luoyun couldn’t help but call out as she looked at Ye Luo, her face full of concern.

"Despite the terror of the Seven Stars Pavilion, there has always been an unwritten rule among the Hidden Sect that the powerful should not meddle in the affairs of the mortal world, especially figures like the Yuheng Pavilion Master, who should not interfere recklessly."

"In an event like this, should the Yuheng Pavilion Master decide to take action, he would most certainly draw the ire of the secular government. In such a case, even the Seven Stars Pavilion would have a hard time justifying its actions, but I believe the Yuheng Pavilion Master understands this very well," Feng Tian once again spoke.

"But what if..." Situ Luoyun’s expression remained laden with deep concern.

"All right, Luoyun, trust me, I’m very fortunate and have a big fate; I won’t die so easily," Ye Luo said, holding Situ Luoyun tightly.

"Don’t worry, no matter what, I will protect you completely. But since the Yuheng Pavilion Master is here, I can’t just walk in openly. He’s seen me before, and it would be troublesome if he recognized me," Ye Luo assured her.

As he spoke, Feng Tian tore off a piece of white cloth and covered his face with it.

Immediately afterward, Ye Luo led Feng Tian towards the banquet hall.

Situ Luoyun watched Ye Luo walk away, her gaze flickering, her lips tightly clenched, following closely behind him.

Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall, Ji Mo had already ascended the stage, microphone in hand, and began to speak:

"Welcome, friends, to the engagement ceremony of Ling Tian Ji and Miss Yu Ru Qin of the Qin Group. Now, let’s invite the couple to make their entrance!"

No sooner had Ji Mo finished speaking, than a wave of music filled the hall, and Ji Lingtian, arm in arm with Qin Yuru, slowly made their entrance. Dressed dazzlingly like a princess, Qin Yuru elicited looks of immense envy from many.

To the sound of music, they walked to the center stage, like a bridal couple.

Then, the host spoke a few words, and a man and a woman each holding a ring box walked to the couple’s side.

The most crucial part of the engagement ceremony was for the couple to place the engagement rings on each other’s fingers. Once the rings were on, the two would be officially engaged.

Ji Lingtian, with a smile, took out the engagement ring and looked towards Qin Yuru. Her expression was calm, but her demeanor carried a hint of anxious hesitation.

"Yu Ru, hand it over!"

Seeing that Qin Yuru hadn’t moved, Ji Lingtian whispered to her, prompting Qin Yuru to slowly raise her right hand.

Just as Ji Lingtian was about to slide the ring onto Qin Yuru’s finger, all eyes were fixed on this moment, witnessing the union of the two major conglomerates.

"Hold on!"

Just then, an icy voice rang out like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, startling the crowd.

Ji Lingtian’s complexion changed when he heard the voice, as did Qin Yuru’s. She immediately lowered her hand, and the engagement ring clattered to the ground with a ting.

The audience’s gaze collectively swept towards the back of the room, only to see Ye Luo stride in with a cold demeanor, followed by a masked Feng Tian and Situ Luoyun.

"Ye Luo!"

Upon Ye Luo’s arrival, the representatives of several major families present were shocked. Many who recognized Ye Luo had met him during the birthday banquet of the Situ Family’s elder, and did not expect him to appear here today, especially when he seemed to be up to no good.

"What does Brother Ye intend to do?"

Leng Pengzhan frowned slightly as he saw Ye Luo appear, while Leng Ruobing’s eyes flickered, glancing involuntarily at Qin Yuru on the stage, her expression subtly changing.

At that moment, Ji Lingtian’s face turned extremely ugly at the sight of Ye Luo, his eyes shimmering with a cold light, while Qin Yuru herself trembled faintly.

Seated below, Ji Mo’s expression darkened when he saw Ye Luo appear, feeling utterly astonished. Hadn’t he sent out three Saint Realm experts to deal with the man? How could this fellow still show up here? Could it be they had not found Ye Luo?

However, Ji Mo was unaware that the three Saint Realm experts he had dispatched had been killed without even setting eyes on Ye Luo. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Regardless, now that Ye Luo had shown up, he must be dealt with immediately, lest any incidents occur that would bring shame upon the Ji Family.

Ji Mo signaled to a man by his side with a look, and the latter nodded in response.

"Who is this person? How dare he cause trouble here, seize him!" The man stood up, staring at Ye Luo as he shouted coldly.

Instantly, several Half-Saint Realm experts emerged, all rushing toward Ye Luo.

"Get lost!"

Seeing these people charging at him, Ye Luo roared and threw a punch that erupted with astonishing Nine Yang True Qi, and an explosion of terrifying strength followed.

Without even getting close to Ye Luo, the group was blasted away, crashing heavily into people and tables around them, causing chaos throughout the venue as many guests hastily moved aside, fearing they’d be caught in the crossfire.

Ye Luo’s move shocked many, and the gaze of the Crown Prince from Tian Group, Cao Wuheng, and the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion, Xu Ruobai, both fell on Ye Luo, their eyes flashing with a different color.

After Ye Luo had repelled the Half-Saint Realm expert with one move, the man by Ji Mo’s side focused his eyes and burst forth, swinging a palm at Ye Luo, his strength having reached the third layer of the Saint Realm.

Boom!

The next second, a hand waved from behind Ye Luo as Feng Tian acted, sending the man flying back to land at the feet of Ji Lingtian, coughing up blood, to the shock of many onlookers.

The Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion stared intently at Feng Tian, his eyes also flashing with a strange color, but he couldn’t recognize who was behind the mask.

At this moment, Ji Lingtian’s face was ominously dark, his fists clenched so tight that veins popped on his hands, his eyes coldly fixed on Ye Luo, "What are you trying to do?"

"I came here today just to take my woman away. I don’t want to be an enemy of the Ji Family, but if you insist on opposing me, I, Ye Luo, am not afraid in the least!"

Ye Luo spoke resolutely, his body exuding the domineering air of a king, his eyes fearless.

"You are courting death!" Ji Lingtian stepped forward, emitting a chilling killing intent.

Saint Realm Fourth Layer!

Through his Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo could instantly see through Ji Lingtian’s strength. The other’s power had reached the fourth layer of the Saint Realm, even more terrifying than Ye Luo had anticipated.

As the disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Seven Stars Pavilion, it was no surprise his strength was formidable. Yet even so, Ye Luo wouldn’t step back an inch.

"Ye Luo, go now, leave this place, I have nothing to do with you!"

Qin Yuru’s eyes sparkled with tears, her face filled with urgent concern as she looked at Ye Luo.
