Chapter 2606: Ice Flame Continent 64

“If you truly engage in such heartless deeds, not only will my True Martial Race refuse to aid you, but your marriage with Ziluo will also be annulled. Not everyone can be a son-in-law of my True Martial Race,” the Clan Leader of True Martial Race declared.

What?

Kang Yan stared at the Clan Leader of True Martial Race in disbelief.

How had the situation taken such a turn?

Initially, he believed Ziluo was upset due to their past conflicts, assuming her anger would subside once she calmed down. After all, he had married someone else, and in this lifetime, Ziluo had no choice but to follow him. If she didn’t support him, who else would she support?

Now, by handing him over, did it mean she disavowed him entirely?

Did their marriage hold no significance?

This couldn’t be!

“No, you can’t do this!” Kang Yan protested.

Upon hearing Kang Yan’s shouts, the members of the True Martial Race kicked him a few times. The pain rendered him unable to continue shouting. Despite his struggles, he realized escape was impossible.

Satisfied with the ensuing silence, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race smiled at Kang Shi. “You talk too much.”

Gu Chaoyan maintained her stoic expression.

In her view, whether it was Kang Yan or the Clan Leader of True Martial Race, they were cut from the same cloth. As they engaged in this feud, she had no control over them, so she allowed events to unfold.

“I’ve handed him over to you. Is that sufficient?” the Clan Leader of True Martial Race inquired.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She intended to take Kang Yan back initially.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race smiled and called out, “Wait.”

“…”

“With this matter settled, it’s concluded. Let’s discuss something else. Please, come inside. I’d like to have a personal conversation with you about this matter,” the Clan Leader of True Martial Race took the lead, saying, “Please come in. I want to personally talk to you about this matter.”

Gu Chaoyan glanced at the smiling Clan Leader of True Martial Race, as if they were old friends.

Gu Chaoyan nodded icily.

As they entered, Gao Zhuo remained concerned. He had tried to intervene when Gu Chaoyan initially stopped, but she assured him that there was no need to worry.

Only then did Gao Zhuo relent.

Gu Chaoyan turned around and walked into the room.

Inside, only Gu Chaoyan and the Clan Leader of True Martial Race occupied the space.

The room was immaculate.

With no one else present, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race personally lit incense. As he ignited the incense, he attentively observed Kang Shi. Ziluo’s high regard for him and her desire to resume the previous engagement now made sense. Kang Shi had undergone a significant transformation. Notably, there was a considerable advancement in his essence, energy, and cultivation in a short span.

Furthermore, Kang Shi no longer exuded the same despondency as before.

The Clan Leader of True Martial Race wondered about the fortuitous encounters Kang Shi must have had in this brief period.

Even his current endeavors were remarkably impressive. Regardless of his future pursuits, someone of Kang Shi’s caliber would likely excel.

Reflecting on the past, he had misjudged and caused harm to Ziluo.

Fortunately, there was still an opportunity for rectification.

The Clan Leader of True Martial Race breathed a sigh of relief.

“How about we explore a collaboration?” the Clan Leader of True Martial Race suggested.

He wore his habitual, confident smile.

Given the strength of the True Martial Race, he believed that no one could reject the proposition of collaboration.

This sentiment held true for the current Kang Shi as well.
