You're so beautiful, and you still want to cancel the engagement?

But then, an old man stood in the sky, and behind him stood four women holding long swords.

As soon as these five people appeared, an overwhelming pressure enveloped the sky, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

At least, Wang Ergou, Feng Qingyao, Ding Dashan, and the others couldn't discern the cultivation levels of these five people.

Not to mention that they couldn't see through the cultivation level of the elder in the lead, they couldn't even see through the cultivation level of the four women behind him. You can imagine what that means.

"Master, what should we do?" Feng Qingyao hurriedly asked Wang Ergou via soul transmission.

Wang Ergou looked at Feng Qingyao with disdain, then glanced down at the wild boar trap buried in the small pit on the ground: "Now you know to ask me what to do? Where were you when you were ambushing me with the trap?"

"Hehe, I was just kidding!" Feng Qingyao said with a sheepish smile.

Wang Ergou glared at Feng Qingyao, then turned to look at the thatched hut and said through telepathy, "Hey, Lao Xiao, you're the best fighter among us. Stop hiding in the hut and keep quiet. Come out and take a look. See if you can beat them. If you can, then fight. If you can't, then we'd better think of a way to run away!"

However, after Wang Ergou finished speaking, there was no reaction from inside the room.

He hurriedly channeled his soul power into the room, only to find that the room where Xiao Yanran, Li Ruoling, and Feng Qingyao had been sleeping was now completely empty, without even a ghost in sight.

"This..." Wang Ergou panicked immediately.

Seeing that Wang Ergou's expression was not right, Feng Qingyao hurriedly asked through soul transmission, "Master, what's wrong?"

“We can’t count on Lao Xiao this time!” Wang Ergou replied telepathically.

"Why?" Feng Qingyao asked using telepathy.

"She's already taken Ling'er and run away!" Wang Ergou said irritably.

"Huh?" Feng Qingyao exclaimed in surprise, "She, she's so disloyal!"

“She’s right! Don’t blame her!” Wang Ergou suddenly nodded, not only not blaming Xiao Yanran, but even speaking up for her.

"She's so disloyal, and she's right?" Feng Qingyao was furious.

"She must have realized she couldn't win either, so she took Ling'er and ran away first!" Wang Ergou patiently explained, "Since she couldn't win either, why would she stay and die with us? In the situation just now, they suddenly appeared at our doorstep. She couldn't possibly take us all with her!"

"That's true!" Feng Qingyao nodded. "So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Wang Ergou curled his lip. "To borrow a phrase from Thirteen—we'll just have to deal with it!"

Feng Qingyao: "..."

Suddenly, Wang Ergou looked up at the old man in the sky and said, "Senior, we have no grudge against your Celestial Court, so why are you forcing us so hard? We have already escaped from the Heavenly Palace to this forest full of demonic beasts. Can't you let us go?"

"Hmph, your disciple stole the bride of our Immortal Emperor's grandson, and you say you have no grudge against us?" The old man looked at Wang Ergou with pity: "In this Immortal Realm, anyone who dares to oppose the Immortal Court will only face death!"

"Well... you can't be so sure that my disciple stole your Immortal Emperor's grandson's bride!" Wang Ergou said with a bitter face, "How can you prove that he is my disciple!"

"The Celestial Court does things without needing proof!" The old man shook his head proudly.

"Then, then..." Wang Ergou thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the bride of your Immortal Emperor's grandson eloped with my disciple on her own initiative?"

"How dare you! She is the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Palace, how could she elope with your good-for-nothing disciple!" A roar suddenly came from the sky, and then a huge golden palm print descended from the sky, like a mountain, crashing down on the location of Wang Ergou and his group with the force of thunder.

Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan looked up at the huge golden handprint and both showed expressions of despair.

Most importantly, at this moment, all the immortal power in their bodies was bound by an invisible force, and they could not mobilize any immortal power at all. They could only stand on the ground and wait to die.

The two students looked at Wang Ergou at the same time, only to see that Wang Ergou also had a look of despair on his face.

“Master…” Feng Qingyao’s eyes were filled with tears as she hugged Wang Ergou tightly.

Wang Ergou gently hugged Feng Qingyao and patted his back: "I'm sorry, your teacher is incompetent. I can no longer protect you. I can no longer wait with you for Thirteen to come back."

After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Feng Qingyao aside, leaped into the air like an arrow released from a bow, and soared into the sky towards the golden palm print.

Just then, a soul transmission from Wang Ergou entered Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan's minds: "Xiao San, Shi Si, run! This is the last time I can protect you! From now on, your fate will be in your own hands!"

But as soon as Wang Ergou finished speaking, his rapidly rising body suddenly emitted a blinding golden light.

He was suspended in the air, and at that moment he was like a small sun, his light extremely dazzling.

"Master!" Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan both shouted in unison.

They could all see that Wang Ergou was trying to detonate himself to withstand the fatal blow and buy them some time to escape.
