Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Making a Move

Lord Wang looked at the wedding procession ahead and then at Young Master Yun before him, cold sweat was about to break out on his forehead.

This truly was a clash of the titans.

Whether it was the Jiang Family or the Yun Family, he didn’t dare offend either.

But right now, Young Master Yun had accomplished great feats, coming to Beast Emperor City because Her Majesty the Empress was to reward him for his merits. If he showed any negligence now, he couldn’t bear the consequences.

Previously, that high-ranking Lord Lin was punished to guard the city in the harsh cold because of a wrong word, wasn’t he?

One might accidentally lose their life.

Moreover, the Jiang Family’s Young Master was indeed quite something; originally, the wedding day wasn’t supposed to be today, but he insisted on changing it to today, which coincided with Young Master Yun’s return to the city.

Furthermore, per protocol, Young Master Yun’s return should be welcomed with a special military escort.

Su Muyao held the token in her hand, playing with it back and forth, believing that this Lord Wang was a wise man.

Indeed, Lord Wang quickly made a decision and shouted, "Men!"

"Yes!"

The troops of the Military Department responded.

Lord Wang continued loudly, "Clear the way for General Yun."

"General Yun is the hero who protects the people and guards the border, his return must not be obstructed."

The surrounding crowd of onlookers immediately heard these words, and everyone’s first instinct was to look towards the direction of the voice.

"It’s actually General Yun."

"Oh my, has General Yun returned to the city?"

"It really is General Yun, which one is he?"

"General Yun should be in the carriage, we can’t see him."

"What to do, so excited, it’s actually General Yun, he’s a member of the Yun Family, possessing the rare and unique Thunder Ability, the people of the Yun Family are all heroes."

"Indeed, indeed, I admire General Yun the most. Within our city, the storytellers tell tales of the border defense every day, I’ve listened to it several times, and each time I hear it, I’m moved to tears."

"Without General Yun, those Dark Beastmen along with the Barbarian Beastmen would have broken through the border, driving straight in, they would slaughter everyone and occupy our land, all thanks to General Yun..."

"I heard Su Muyao also defended the city and made contributions, that’s why she’s pardoned for her previous crimes."

"She definitely capitalized on the Yun Family’s achievements."

The crowd admired Yun Qinglan, but held a deeply rooted impression of Su Muyao, considering her foolish, ugly, good-for-nothing, and cowardly, unwilling to believe she could defend the city.

Due to the soldiers of the Military Department personally clearing the way, the Liu Family’s wedding procession and the Jiang Family’s bustling crowd were all stunned.

Most crucially, the procession with 180 bundles of dowry was divided in the middle, and the populace voluntarily made way.

People stopped focusing on Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan’s wedding procession, instead quietly watching Yun Qinglan’s entourage.

Jiang Mochuan’s smile abruptly disappeared, his gaze grew dark and he fixedly stared at the carriage behind him, a look of disdain almost turning into an Ice Blade ready to pierce through.

Jiang Dao’s face was grim with anger, "This Su Muyao, not only sinister but practically looking for death."

"Today I will risk my life to teach her a lesson on behalf of Young Master."

"Daring to disrupt the Young Master’s wedding ceremony, her nature is unchanged."

Jiang Mochuan remained unsympathetic and didn’t intervene.

Jiang Dao’s eyes bore a cruel and hateful expression, unsheathed his sword and charged directly at the carriage where Su Muyao was seated.

"Su Muyao, you deliberately ruined our Young Master’s wedding ceremony, our Young Master utterly despises you, doesn’t like you at all, now that you’ve returned you still want to cling to our Young Master, what is your intention."

Jiang Dao used superpower to loudly insult, making sure everyone could hear these words.

At the same time, he activated Level 5 Superpower and leapt up, vaulting over the heads of the crowd, ready to break through the carriage Su Muyao was in.

He wanted to disgrace Su Muyao in front of everyone, making all despise and reject her.

This malicious woman named Su Muyao dared to covet their Young Master; she was truly overestimating herself.

"No way, Su Muyao is in General Yun’s convoy?"

"So it’s Su Muyao who returned, she truly hasn’t changed her nature, maliciously intending to sabotage Young Master Jiang’s wedding ceremony."

"Thus, she exploited General Yun."

"Maybe she deliberately pressured General Yun, leaving him no choice but to do this."

"This is excessive, too hateful, why didn’t she die at the border, what’s the point of her returning..."

"Exactly, exploiting Young Master Yun while also riding on his achievements, Jiang Dao should kill her and rid everyone of a menace."

"Young Master Jiang and Miss Liu make the most fitting pair, Su Muyao is so ugly and vicious, lacking any skills, she’s not even worthy to carry Miss Liu’s shoes, Young Master Jiang would undoubtedly choose Miss Liu..."

Because over the years, people have relentlessly propagated rumors about Su Muyao, causing the populace to loathe her even more.

All with malicious speculation about her.

As Jiang Dao insulted and moved his sword towards Su Muyao, Wen Nanxi and his entourage’s killing intent surged.

Su Muyao’s lips curved slightly, "No need to move, I’ll handle this."

Su Muyao was initially playing chess with Wen Nanxi, her eyes flickering with a cold gleam as she leisurely played with the chess pieces in her hand.

When Jiang Dao’s sword was about to pierce the carriage, Su Muyao’s chess piece suddenly shot through the window and directly struck Jiang Dao’s sword.

"Clash"

The sound of the chess piece striking the sword rang out, Jiang Dao’s hands felt numbed and pained, his grip on the sword weakened, it dropped instantly to the ground.

Furthermore, the chess piece went on to strike his body, carrying immense power, it sent Jiang Dao flying violently.

This scene stunned everyone.

Even Jiang Mochuan’s haughty gaze altered, becoming one of shock.

His top confidant Jiang Dao was already a mid-Level 5 Superpower, his strike was unmatched by ordinary individuals.

And Wen Nanxi and his group had mere Third-level Superpower, even if they encountered something transformative allowing quick development in half a year to Level 4 Superpower, they wouldn’t match Jiang Dao.

Precisely because of this, he tacitly allowed Jiang Dao to act.

Could it be there were other experts within their carriage?

After being sent flying, Jiang Dao suffered severe internal injuries, spitting out blood.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, resentfully saying, "Su Muyao, you dare ruin our Young Master’s wedding ceremony, finding some expert to shield you, acting like a coward, daring not take responsibility."

"Someone like you, claiming you defended the border, who’d believe it."

Even at this point, Jiang Dao was deliberately sowing discord; he aimed to erase Su Muyao’s merits, hoping the court would expel her once again.

Also considered as venting today’s frustration on behalf of the Young Master.

"Heh..."

Su Muyao chuckled softly, then leapt out of the carriage, standing atop it, overlooking Jiang Dao.

Her superpower lightly emitted, her presence stunningly beautiful, commanding attention, appearing as though embodying the land’s essence, majestic and dazzling.

The instant she emerged, everyone present was dumbstruck with admiration.

Everyone inhaled sharply, "She... she is?"

Many had seen Su Muyao before, but only one side of her face was covered in hideous black scars, however now she was breathtakingly beautiful, the dark marks gone, her aura resonant like a Beast God descending.

"Sabotage? You’re overestimating your worth."

"Your Jiang Family matters have nothing to do with me and aren’t worth my concern."

"However, you sought trouble, now face the consequences."

Just as she recently returned, some watched stealthily looking to stir trouble, so let the Jiang Family serve an example.

As she spoke, Su Muyao’s chess piece shot out again.

Directly hitting Jiang Dao’s mouth fiercely.

"Spurt..."

Several of Jiang Dao’s teeth were knocked out, his mouth rendered useless, blood sprayed profusely.

Despite his rigorous training, the pain was too severe, he couldn’t help but let out a shriek.

He stared fixedly at the woman standing on the carriage, unable to believe she was Su Muyao.
