"Old man knows it well, I even know him!"
"The Marquis of Divine Valor, Xiao Zhang, was originally the personal guard of the Seventh Princess. Over a hundred thousand years ago, I even went outside the Western Continent Ancestral City and watched his challenge for marriage through the Jade Screen!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. From the words of this cunning old man, they understood that he was from the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty.
"Enough, I don't have time to waste with you!" the old man scolded. "Hand over the Ancestral Ring!"
Just as Tan Yun was about to speak, a sharp, mocking female voice suddenly echoed in the sky. "Hahaha, Zhou Liren, I told you that your greed for wealth would eventually lead you to your demise!"
"You are being hunted by my husband and me, and instead of fleeing for your life, you waste time attempting to rob for money!"
At this moment, a rough male voice chimed in, "What the lady says is true! Zhou, today it seems even the heavens want to destroy you!"
Hearing this, Zhou Liren, standing in front of Tan Yun, was startled and wanted to flee. Suddenly, two figures swept onto Tan Yun's Divine Vessel.
A thin middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache stood at the front of the Divine Vessel, blocking Zhou Liren's path.
At the same time, a graceful woman stood at the rear, cutting off Zhou Liren's escape!
"You beasts from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect!" Zhou Liren shouted angrily. "Aren't you tired? You chased me all the way from the Eastern Continent Divine Domain to the Western Continent Divine Domain!"
"They are from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect!" Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi exchanged glances.
Tan Yun knew that his women were imprisoned by the sovereign of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect!
Hearing Zhou Liren's furious insults, the murderous intent in the couple's eyes grew even stronger.
The middle-aged woman, with a cold smile, glanced at Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi, saying, "Husband, first capture these two living beings as drug leads, and then kill Zhou Liren."
"Understood, my lady." The middle-aged man named Cheng Kun replied, as Tan Yun's anger suddenly erupted. He coldly said, "You two want to use my fiancée and me as drug leads? Truly heinous!"
"Giggle..." The middle-aged woman named Fang Yuan laughed, "That's right, we are truly heinous! Our Eastern Continent Divine Sect is also guilty of serious crimes. But what can you trash from the Western Continent Divine Domain do about it?"
While Fang Yuan mocked, Tan Yun secretly transmitted to Zhou Liren, "Senior, how strong are they? Can you defeat one of them?"
Although Zhou Liren did not understand why Tan Yun asked this, he still transmitted back, "They are both at the eighth level of the dao king realm, but possess the strength of ordinary ninth level of the dao king realm. I can handle one without much difficulty."
"Kid, why are you asking these things?"
Tan Yun transmitted, "To be honest, I am the Marquis of Divine Valor, Xiao Zhang, and next to me is my fiancée, the Seventh Princess."
"Haha." Zhou Liren scoffed, "Kid, you are quite clever! Do you think just because you have white hair, you can impersonate the Marquis of Divine Valor and have me hold back while you two escape?"
"Don't believe it?" As Tan Yun transmitted, his appearance changed to that of another handsome face—who else could it be but Xiao Zhang?
"Marquis of Divine Valor!" Zhou Liren's eyes widened, "Is it really you?"
"Of course!" Tan Yun nodded and said, "Yunxi."
"Mm." Realizing, Yu Yunxi's pockmarks disappeared, and her beauty returned to its stunning form.
"It really is the Seventh Princess!" Zhou Liren exclaimed in astonishment.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe it?" Yu Yunxi flipped her delicate hand, revealing a unique token of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty.
"Servant sees the Seventh Princess!" Zhou Liren knelt on one knee before Yu Yunxi and Tan Yun. "I see the Marquis of Divine Valor. I was rude earlier; please give me a chance to make amends."
