Jia Mengqing's wedding day arrives, with the Blood Origin Sect and the Jia family elders agreeing to publicly execute Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun. Amidst the ceremony, Jia Mengqing discovers she was deceived, as Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun are brought to the execution platform while her acupuncture points remain sealed.

Standing on the high platform.

Jia Kun and Ye Chenfeng stood together.

Jia Kun showed an apologetic expression towards Ye Chenfeng; he had previously promised to guarantee Ye Chenfeng’s safety even at the cost of his life, but now he and Ye Chenfeng were going to be executed together.

"I’ll say sorry on behalf of Mengqing." Jia Kun’s voice was low as he looked at Jia Mengqing with tear-filled eyes. He felt quite uncomfortable inside; he regarded Jia Mengqing as his granddaughter and held deep affection for her.

Faced with Jia Kun’s apology, Ye Chenfeng simply smiled nonchalantly, "It’s fine."

After Jia Kun and Ye Chenfeng stepped onto the platform, all the attention from those present focused entirely on the two of them.

The attendees who had come to congratulate them did not take the execution of Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun too seriously, for in their eyes, Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun were undoubtedly doomed.

Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong sat on chairs on the platform, their eyes slightly narrowed, leaving the execution of Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun for Du Zishi to handle personally.

Jia Xiaowen shouted at Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun, "Why aren’t you two kneeling? What right do you have to stand?"

Ye Chenfeng stood motionlessly.

Jia Kun had no feelings left for the entire Jia family, and he stood still as well.

Jia Xiaowen’s face turned red with anger; he really wanted to kill Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun on the spot.

Du Zishi’s cold eyes stared at the calm-looking Ye Chenfeng, filled with doubt inside—was Ye Chenfeng fearlessly ignorant, or did he have some hidden card?

But no matter how he sensed it, he could only detect Ye Chenfeng’s aura at the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm level three.

Du Zishi asked, "Which sect are you a disciple of?"

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Du Zishi, "I came here through the Divine Gate."

After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s response, Du Zishi had no more doubts; he came from the barbaric lands outside the Divine Origin Realm, no wonder he was so fearlessly ignorant!

"With power at the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm level three, I suppose you’re considered a genius where you come from? But here, you’re nothing; do you know what your fate will be next?"

"You will die! And it will be a miserable death, but if you kneel immediately now, I might grant you a swift end."

Ye Chenfeng gently teased the Chaos Griffon on his shoulder with his finger, treating it as if it were a kitten.

The Chaos Griffon cooperated by patting Ye Chenfeng’s finger with its paws.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Du Zishi, "What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly; could you repeat it?"

All those present watching Ye Chenfeng’s every move felt utterly unsettled inside.

Where did this fool come from, acting like a joke? Are all the people from those barbaric lands like this? Can he not see the situation in front of him? It’s downright foolishness.

And so.

Discussions arose continuously in the square, as Ye Chenfeng’s actions were too absurd for them to find amusing.

"Did this guy get his head caught in a door? He thinks he’s a genius from his place, coming to our Divine Origin Realm still acting so arrogant? And he’s about to be executed, yet he has the time to toy with the kitty on his shoulder?"

"Indeed, that thing on the boy’s shoulder is just a regular cat, with no aura at all. It’s not even close to being considered a beast; is he here to amuse us?"

"What do you think Du Zishi will do to punish this ignorant brat later?"

...

A chorus of discussions filled the air; Jia Mengqing, whose acupoints were sealed, also watched Ye Chenfeng with her red eyes. She knew from the days spent with him before that Ye Chenfeng was not an arrogant person, but why was he acting like this now?

Soon, Jia Mengqing figured it out; perhaps Ye Chenfeng knew he was destined to die, so instead of being downcast, he chose to face death with a smile.

Jia Mengqing felt even more guilty towards Ye Chenfeng in her heart; she should never have asked him to pose as her man back then, otherwise Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t have been doomed to die.

Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, Jia Kun shared a similar thought as Jia Mengqing; he also believed that Ye Chenfeng had accepted his fate, and his ability to face life and death so calmly left him full of admiration.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s demeanor, Du Zishi no longer tolerated it as the aura of a half-step Divine King fumed around him: "I won’t let you die so easily, I’ll destroy your limbs first and then slowly let you inch towards death."

Du Zishi’s pale face darkened as he reached lightning-fast with both hands towards Ye Chenfeng.

To the others, a person at the Heavenly God Realm level three was no match for a half-step Divine King’s attack, not even capable of keeping up with the speed, thus Ye Chenfeng’s arms were certain to be crushed.

Watching as Du Zishi’s hand was about to seize Ye Chenfeng’s arms.

Ye Chenfeng continued teasing the Chaos Griffon with his finger.

Witnessing this scene, everyone thought that Ye Chenfeng had given up; Jia Nianshan, Jia Lizhong, and Jia Xiaowen all had a cold smile at the corners of their mouths. Jia Mengqing’s eyes were filled with continuous tears, while Jia Kun, blocked by two Divine Venerable Realm experts, could do nothing but sigh repeatedly, knowing he would soon accompany Ye Chenfeng.

As everyone believed Ye Chenfeng was doomed to die, and a dreadful death at that.

Du Zishi, with a face full of disdainful laughter, his palms were just about to grab Ye Chenfeng’s arms to cripple them.

Suddenly.

The Chaos Griffon perched on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder slightly opened its mouth.

"Achoo!"

The Chaos Griffon unexpectedly sneezed, containing a powerful force within this sneeze.

This force directly impacted Du Zishi.

Du Zishi’s smirk abruptly vanished.

With a "bang!".

He was violently flung out, and his body collided with a gigantic stele in the square.

The entire stele immediately cracked densely, with Du Zishi spitting large mouths of blood.

The stele shattered completely.

Once arrogant and conceited, Du Zishi now lay on the ground like a dead dog, his breaths through nose and mouth extremely weak; a single sneeze had almost taken his life.

Ye Chenfeng patted the Chaos Griffon’s head, "Little Eagle, it’s impolite to sneeze randomly; next time, tell me when you’re about to sneeze."

"Look, one fool almost got killed by your sneeze."

The Chaos Griffon meekly nodded.

This left everyone present completely stunned, their minds unable to comprehend exactly what had just happened?
