Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Book 2: Chapter 45: Will not be humiliated

What is integrity?

Some people would rather die than submit.

What is reputation?

Some people would sacrifice everything.

In this world, there are always some people who insist on something that seems inexplicable to others.

Others cannot understand or comprehend.

However, it is precisely these inexplicable persistence that makes us human, and the proof that we exist in this world!

The heavens and the earth condemn me, and all living beings despise me.

What should I do?

There is a kind of person who will not be humiliated!

Lian Que, the creator of the famous Longing for the Past.

With this masterpiece, he has become the most dazzling genius of the Lian family, the most remarkable weapon smith.

He has just opened the door to the heavens and the earth, and his future is promising at a young age.

Today in Nan Yao City, there are many distinguished guests and VIPs who have come for his work.

His brilliance has just begun.

But he resolutely takes control of his own life and destroys everything with his own hands. Just to prove his morality and reputation!

He is so resolute.

A raging fire burns inside Lian Que, his palms are red.

He has already used all his strength, without reservation, with the sole intention of seeking death.

"Lian Que, you can't do this!" Lian Zhu Ping, the patriarch, exclaimed in shock and anger.

Lian Lu Yue, an elder of the family, was also speechless and shocked.

In recent years, the Lian family's influence has declined and they are in desperate need of external support.

In the eyes of the high-level members of the Lian family, the 14th Prince Jiang Wu Yong is a good partner.

Firstly, his royal identity can help the Lian family solve many problems. Secondly, Jiang Wu Yong himself is not powerful enough, so the Lian family can have an equal basis for cooperation without becoming completely subordinate.

As long as Lian Que agrees, this matter will have no impact on the Lian family.

After all, as Lian Zhu Ping said, Lian Que agreed to forge a sword for Jiang Wang, but did not specify what kind of sword.

What happened in the sword furnace and how the sword was forged, how could outsiders know?

It was just Lian Que's personal breach of trust, which was insignificant.

They thought that sacrificing a little personal reputation for the sake of the family was insignificant.

They thought that for the sake of the family's reputation, even if Lian Que had a strong personality, he would know what to do.

They thought that Lian Que would at most be emotional for a while. In the end, he would understand what the right choice was.

They never expected things to turn out like this.

They never imagined that Lian Que would be so determined.

To force the genius weapon smith of the family to his death, this kind of infamy is something they cannot bear.

Even after they die, they will not be able to face their ancestors.

This sudden palm strike happened almost unexpectedly, and almost no one could react in time.

Except... Jiang Wang.

When Lian Que spoke, he already felt that something was wrong.

At first, he thought that Lian Que was going to make a move and turn against the family, secretly preparing for assistance.

But he didn't expect it to be used at this moment.

Lian Que's palm pressed towards his own spiritual core, the red palm was scorching hot, but suddenly paused.

Wood energy surged within his body, restraining him from within, immobilizing him.

In that moment, Jiang Wang had already rushed to Lian Que's side and grabbed his wrist. "Lian Que, brother, there's no need for this! I believe in you!"

"Yes, yes, Lian Que, think twice! Let's discuss everything!" Lian Zhu Ping also said repeatedly.

Sizzle.

Lian Que's palm was too hot, and Jiang Wang hurriedly grabbed it without being fully prepared, causing blisters to form on his hand. But he only raised an eyebrow and did not loosen his grip.

Lian Que had already made up his mind to seek death, but he was suddenly stopped and hadn't recovered his senses.

Startled by the sound, he quickly released his strength.

Looking at the blisters on Jiang Wang's hand, Lian Que felt even more guilty. "Brother Jiang, I..."

Jiang Wang interrupted him. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I am not a foolish person."

He turned around and looked at Jiang Wu Yong. "Fourteenth Prince, I think anyone with discerning eyes can see who this sword belongs to. Lian Que's reputation no longer needs to be questioned. As a member of the royal family, do you still want to continue your act of seizing by force?"

"Ridiculous!" Jiang Wu Yong, of course, could not stop at this point. Even if he originally did not want to make a big deal out of it, he could no longer back down at this moment.

When Zhong Xuan Sheng stepped forward, he left in a dejected manner. What would others think if this news spread?

He couldn't possibly slap himself in the face to boost Zhong Xuan Sheng's prestige!

"The world's treasures are possessed by those with virtue! What virtue and ability do you, Jiang Wang, have to deserve this famous weapon?"

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "What is virtue?"

Jiang Wu Yong took a step forward, his purple robe fluttering. "Power is virtue!"

With his words, ten cultivators of the Inner Palace Realm followed suit and ascended the high platform.

There was also a short and fat old man who seemed to appear out of thin air on the stage.

He didn't have much aura, just smiling as he looked at the middle-aged man with a white face. "This sir, there's no need for us to meddle in the conflicts between the younger generation, right?"

The Inner Palace Realm expert behind Jiang Wu Yong immediately stood aside, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.

Since Zhong Xuan Sheng could compete for the position of family head, he naturally had support behind him.

The short and fat old man who appeared now was enough to firmly suppress the eunuchs by Jiang Wu Yong's side.

At the same time, people kept walking up to the high platform from below, one after another.

Coincidentally, there were also ten of them, and all of them had the cultivation of the Inner Palace Realm!Before entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, Zhong Xuan Sheng was short of manpower, unable to even find a second Transcendent Realm powerhouse whom he could trust with his life. However, after emerging victorious from the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, his power had begun to take shape in such a short period of time.

This was not an overnight achievement, but the result of long-term preparation. He was just waiting for that risky gamble, to transform from a mere mortal into a dragon with the promise of divine power!

Today, Zhong Xuan Sheng was clearly aiming to slap Jiang Wu Yong in the face. This was not only a show of his unreserved support for Jiang Wang, but also a way to use this powerless prince to announce his current status. He wanted more people to open their eyes and choose their sides wisely.

Sending out more and stronger people would not be as terrifying as the impression he was giving now.

No matter what card Jiang Wu Yong played, he always had one to top it, always ready to slap him in the face. This made people unable to gauge his depth, making him seem unfathomable.

To be able to survive among those terrifying brothers and sisters, and even extend his hand into the Lian family, Jiang Wu Yong was not incompetent.

However, he had underestimated Zhong Xuan Sheng's support for Jiang Wang, and even more so, Zhong Xuan Sheng's strength. He had also underestimated Lian Que's determination to defend his reputation.

"I heard that you, Jiang Wang, are also a victor from the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. In our Great Qi, those who dare to enter the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm are considered the strongest under the Soaring Dragon Realm." Jiang Wu Yong said without changing his expression, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

It seemed that he had never intended to overwhelm others with numbers or power.

But seeing him standing with his hands behind his back, he arrogantly said, "Since I have not yet pushed open the door of heaven and earth, would you dare to exchange a few moves with me, to see who is more worthy of the title?"
