The Demon Lord suddenly raised his head, slightly furrowed his brow, and looked toward Liuyun, "Are you called Liuyun?"

Liuyun was slightly startled and nodded.

At that moment, Guo Wenchang rebuked from the side, "Who do you think you are? Even the name of Princess Liuyun is not something you can casually call?"

"Exactly, have you not looked at yourself in the mirror to see what you are? Such trash, yet you dare address Princess Liuyun by name?" Xu Yan sarcastically remarked from the side.

Liuyun frowned and looked at both of them, "Can you two speak less?"

"Liuyun, no offense, but your biggest flaw has always been your excessive kindness, leaving you unguarded against anyone. For a stranger to know your name, isn't that normal? What's the use of talking to him? Just teach him a lesson and we can leave," urged Xu Yan, stirring up trouble.

Guo Wenchang nodded, "Exactly, that kind of person should be taught a lesson to make him scram."

The gaze of the Demon Lord was sharp yet when he looked toward Liuyun, it softened considerably. He was aware of his disciple's complicated relationship with this girl, including how Chu Mo unsure of how to face Liuyun. He knew all of this.

He hadn't expected to encounter her under these circumstances, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Liuyun's demeanor greatly relieved the Demon Lord, at least she wasn't as arrogant and overbearing as the other two.

"You are Liuyun from Lingdan Hall?" The Demon Lord asked again.

This time, Liuyun also felt a bit strange because from his words, she sensed that he seemed to recognize her...not just 'heard of' but truly knew her, as if there were some connections. Thus, Liuyun nodded and softly said, "Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are?"

"What's the point in asking, this trash... just slap him away," Guo Wenchang expressed his dissatisfaction with Liuyun's friendly behavior towards everyone, especially because the black-clothed man looked handsome and exuded an aura of masculinity, giving him a somewhat dangerous feeling.

Though just a Great Luo Jinxian, he stood there, majestic and unshakable, with not a trace of fear in his eyes.

Damn you, a weakling, what gives you the right to act superior in front of us?

Guo Wenchang's feelings toward Liuyun bordered on pathological; he despised any man who spoke more than a few words with her.

He never believed Liuyun would marry someone else, because he was the brother of Guo Tianwang!

He was wholly qualified to marry this little princess of Lingdan Hall!

Thus, the more Guo Wenchang looked at the Demon Lord, the more displeased he felt, followed by a scolding and an immediate attack on the Demon Lord.

A slap aimed straight at the Demon Lord's face.

This action was a tremendous insult. No one could tolerate it.

Let alone the Demon Lord, who in his bones was prouder and more battle-hardened than anyone else, how could he allow such a junior to humiliate him?

"Stop!" Liuyun shouted sharply.

But it was already too late; Guo Wenchang's slap, both heavy and fast, had already reached close to the Demon Lord.

Smack!

A crisp sound!

Liuyun couldn't help but blink, feeling both anxious and angry, quite dissatisfied with Guo Wenchang's actions. What if the other party was related to her? Even if there was no connection, how could he humiliate a person like that?

But then, Liuyun was just stunned there.

Because the crisp sound was not Guo Wenchang slapping the other person's face, but it was from his wrist being grabbed by the man in black, producing the clear sound!

"This..." Liuyun was dumbfounded.

Xu Yan was dumbfounded.

Everyone else was also dumbfounded.

Guo Wenchang's face turned red, he tried repeatedly to pull his hand free, but what shocked and infuriated him was that he, a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, couldn't pull his wrist from the hands of the man in black, who was at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

At that moment, the Demon Lord suddenly let go of his hand.

Guo Wenchang staggered backward several steps before stabilizing his stance, looking at the Demon Lord with shock and anger.

The Demon Lord glanced at Guo Wenchang, "Young man, don't overdo it!" Then, he looked at Liuyun and said solemnly, "I have some connections with you and do not wish to enter into conflict with you. Let's consider this a misunderstanding, and you all may leave."

"Ha, what huge talk, who do you think you are?" Xu Yan burst out seeing Guo Wenchang at a disadvantage, with uncontrollable anger pointing at the Demon Lord and yelling, "Who do you think you are? You think you are very powerful, don't you? What misunderstanding? **** connections, kneel down and apologize right now, or I'll kill you today!"

Xu Yan, saying this, directly took out a dharma instrument from her body.

Guo Wenchang, without another word, also took out a dharma instrument.

Apart from Liuyun, there were still five cultivators at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, seeing this, two of them directly took out dharma instruments. The remaining three, who were closer to Liuyun, did not act, but their looks at the Demon Lord were also unfriendly.

After all, the man in black's tone was quite presumptuous, which was offensive.

What does 'I have some connections with you' mean? What kind of implication does that statement carry? It sounded like a conversation between a senior and a junior.

Seeing that a battle was about to erupt, Liuyun finally became angry. She coldly looked at Guo Wenchang and Xu Yan and said in a firm tone, "If you want to cause trouble, go elsewhere! How do you know he has no connection with me? What do you mean by this?"

Xu Yan looked at Liuyun incredulously, "Are you willing to fall out with us, over an outsider, a stranger?"

Liuyun coldly said, "I only ask once, have you had enough trouble?"

At that time, the other two cultivators who had taken out dharma instruments sheepishly put them away. Other than one time over a discussion about Chu Mo, they had never seen her this angry.

"Heh…" Guo Wenchang's throat suddenly emitted a few cold laughs, sounding somewhat desolate. His dharma instrument, radiating powerful might, hung over his head with flickering light. Looking at Liuyun, "Back then, for Chu Mo, you turned against me, and today, for a strange man, you still turn against me. Liuyun... do I really make you that repulsed?"

On the side, Xu Yan's eyes were even red, and she also said, "Exactly, we are a team, a group, we grew up together. Does that bond really rank below a stranger of unknown identity?"

Liuyun looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "If you continue to be unreasonable like this, then I'm sorry, our friendship ends here. Xu Yan, I know you've always liked Guo Wenchang; Guo Wenchang, I also know you've always had feelings for me. But sorry, I only have friendship for you. There are no romantic feelings. If anything caused you misunderstandings, then I apologize. But this person, he hasn't provoked us, we are the ones who disturbed him; second, he doesn't seem to be lying, so there might be some connections between us. But you wouldn't even give him a chance to explain, only wanting to resort to violence. Sorry, I don't agree!"

Liuyun said this, and directly stood in front of the Demon Lord, facing Xu Yan and Guo Wenchang with a determined face. Though her eyes showed heartache and helplessness, there was more, however, a weary tiredness.

She had had enough!
