Chapter 4: The Promise of the Dawnmoon Sanctuary Is Broken, and the Su Family Falls from Grace (Please Recommend and Bookmark)
Page 1/3
At the Li residence, a sudden wave of oppressive force descended, causing everyone present to feel a heavy weight upon their bodies.
Chen Qing’s figure appeared above the Li estate; people throughout the small city looked up in shock.
The guests at the Li family immediately recognized the visitor!
The Sacred Lord of the Radiant Moon Sanctuary, Chen Qing, had arrived!
Her aura as a Supreme Harmonizer was unmistakable, an overwhelming pressure descending without concealment.
Ye Bufan shouted loudly, “Master, Li Xuan of the Li family wants to kill me!”
“He killed my brother and crippled one of my close friends!”
Su Wan and the Su family’s spirits lifted.
Su Wan clenched her fingers tightly, convinced that her choice was right! The Li family was no match for the Radiant Moon Sanctuary!
Chen Qing landed, her expression turning cold as she saw Ye Bufan’s condition—his eyes bloodied and dripping.
“So, you are the Li family?” she demanded.
Li Xuan felt a hint of disappointment. He had once harbored some hope.
“Indeed, I am from the Li family,” he said calmly, setting down his teacup.
Chen Qing probed further, “Are you the one who inflicted these wounds on Bufan?”
Li Xuan nodded and asked, “How do you judge my handiwork?”
“Exile!” Chen Qing’s crimson lips parted, her voice ringing through the small city.
Li Xuan shook his head, “You cannot exile me.”
Chen Qing sneered, amused. Could she not exile someone? She was a peak Supreme Harmonizer, just a step and a half from becoming a Saint.
Was there anyone in this world she could not punish?
Ye Bufan yelled, “Master, he is a peak powerhouse! Be careful!”
Chen Qing nodded; in the next moment, she struck. As a Harmonizer, she merged with the Dao itself.
The moment Chen Qing struck, she delivered a simple palm strike toward Li Xuan, as if the heavens and earth themselves bowed before it.
This was the power of a Supreme Harmonizer.
“Ancestor!” the Li family members shouted, causing a flicker of doubt in Chen Qing’s eyes.
She had used the laws to cripple not just Li Xuan but the entire Li family!
How could any Li family member still dare to speak?
Li Xuan spoke softly, “I told you, with me here, you can’t exile anything.”
Bang.
Li Xuan raised his hand lightly, not exerting much force—after all, they were the descendants of acquaintances. He had once made a promise to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary.
But now, it seemed that promise was meaningless.
No one witnessed the details of the confrontation between Li Xuan and Chen Qing because both were too powerful.
They only saw Chen Qing strike, then...
Chen Qing took a step back, her expression grave as she faced Li Xuan.
Everyone was puzzled—had the Sacred Lord of the Radiant Moon Sanctuary been defeated?
Impossible, wasn’t it?
Yet Li Xuan remained seated without moving an inch, while the Sacred Lord stepped back.

Ye Bufan continued shouting, “Master, I want to take revenge with my own hands.”
In his heart, it was impossible that his master had lost.
Chen Qing ignored Ye Bufan’s cries and looked at Li Xuan. “How can you release Ye Bufan?”
Had the Sacred Lord really been defeated?
“To release Ye Bufan is possible, but are you sure you want me to do so?” Li Xuan asked. Anyone who dared to interrupt a wedding was doomed, but before death, they could still be exploited.
Draining every ounce of value from Ye Bufan.
If the Sacred Lord truly intended to take Ye Bufan and Su Wan away, then his promise to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary would naturally be void.
Chen Qing calmed herself. “Friend, as long as you release Ye Bufan, everything else can be negotiated.”
Li Xuan shook his head, glancing at Chen Qing. “I once made a promise to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary. Are you sure you want me to use that promise to release Ye Bufan and Su Wan?”
Chen Qing was momentarily stunned. A promise with the Radiant Moon Sanctuary? She didn’t recall ever meeting this man. Perhaps Li Xuan was reluctant to offend them.
Her heart relaxed—this must be the case!
After all, they were the Radiant Moon Sanctuary!
“Yes,” Li Xuan nodded. “Fine, you may take Ye Bufan and Su Wan.”
At this moment, Ye Bufan stopped shouting. He was beginning to realize a grim fact—his Sacred Lord master had also been defeated?
No, he refused to believe it!
[You have caused the Child of Destiny, Ye Bufan, pain. Villainy increased by 680, lifespan extended by 1.]
[You have shocked the Child of Destiny, Su Wan. Villainy increased by 867, lifespan extended by 1.]
[You have shocked the Child of Destiny, Leng Yanshuang. Villainy increased by 1235, lifespan extended by 1.]
System notification.
“Thank you for your mercy, friend,” Chen Qing said.
Li Xuan smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. Remember my name. I hope you will not regret this in the future.”
Chen Qing paid no heed and immediately left with Ye Bufan and Su Wan, leaving behind Leng Yanshuang and the Su family.
Moments later, Chen Qing appeared with Ye Bufan and Su Wan in a nearby city.
Ye Bufan’s eyes partially recovered; he had yet to realize that his heterochromatic double pupils were fading.
“Master, what is really going on? Why are we leaving?” Ye Bufan looked at Chen Qing with dissatisfaction.
Chen Qing stood firm and soothed him, “Li Xuan is very powerful.”
Ye Bufan refused to believe it, “Impossible!”
Suddenly, Chen Qing staggered, a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth. “I fought Li Xuan for only one move—and I was injured.”
Instantly, Ye Bufan and Su Wan felt a chill down their spines.
Li Xuan—he was even stronger than the Sacred Lord!
Su Wan clenched her palm until her nails cut into her skin, filled with fierce reluctance.
How could this be?
It was all Ye Bufan and Li Xuan’s fault!
Why did Ye Bufan have to interrupt the wedding?
Why did Li Xuan hide his true strength?

“Master, my brother and friend are still in the Li family. Will Li Xuan harm them?” Ye Bufan suddenly remembered the Lord of the Tai Dragon Sect and Leng Yanshuang.
Su Wan also thought of her family—her father remained at the Li estate.
Chen Qing replied calmly, “No. To be honest, Li Xuan has ties with the Radiant Moon Sanctuary and will not harm your families.”
Ye Bufan was stunned. Li Xuan had connections to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary?
He breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary, Li Xuan was still weaker.
Thus, Li Xuan would not harm his master Leng Yanshuang or his Tai Dragon brothers.
He also worried about the Tai Dragon Sect. He had visited them, where the people were warm and welcoming.
He had met many enthusiastic ancient clans and fairies there.
One fairy even called him brother. Ye Bufan did not want to see his “little sister” come to harm.
Chen Qing then spoke to Su Wan, “Your Su family has a wide network, but the act of interrupting the wedding was a mistake. Now that it’s over, focus on your cultivation.”
Su Wan nodded quickly, feeling relieved. Indeed, her family’s connections were extensive, spanning various factions.
With the elders at home, nothing should go wrong.
...
Back at the small city, the Li estate.
Li Xuan looked at those remaining and waved his hand, ordering the Li family to entertain the guests and to keep everything sealed.
Surely, no one would dare speak recklessly.
The three-day wedding ceremony was now over.
“Seems Ye Bufan and Su Wan have forgotten about you all,” Li Xuan said coldly, looking at Leng Yanshuang, the Tai Dragon Sect leader’s severed head, and the Su family.
Leng Yanshuang gave a bitter smile; the Tai Dragon Sect leader remained silent.
Su Xiao furrowed his brow and asked, “Nephew, what do you mean by this?”
Li Xuan smiled, “I said I would release Ye Bufan and Su Wan, but I never said the same for you. Do you think Ye Bufan can interrupt a wedding without paying the price?”
He stood, hands behind his back. “Nothing in this world is that simple.”
Su Xiao’s expression darkened, his threats hollow inside. “Li Xuan! I advise you not to deceive yourself! The Radiant Moon Sanctuary is not something you can provoke!”
“I made a promise to the Radiant Moon Sanctuary. Do you think I fear them?” Li Xuan beckoned to a Li family member. “Deal with them first.”
Immediately, Li family members advanced toward the Su family.
“No, no!” they cried.
“Su Xiao, this is your daughter’s doing! Why must we suffer for it?”
“Old Ancestor Li, don’t blame us—it’s Su Wan and Su Xiao’s fault!”
The Su family wept bitterly.
The Li family felt a grim satisfaction. That damned Su family dared to disgrace the Li family—now they would be ruined!
Su Xiao panicked. “Li Xuan! The Su family has countless connections! If you harm my people, your Li family will surely decline!”
Connections? Li Xuan laughed. The Su family’s connections were all granted by him.
At that moment, figures appeared above the small city.
Su Xiao’s face lit up with joy.
“Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, come quickly and save me!”
