Fiancée Eloped at the Engagement Banquet?

A Voice That Shook the Battlefield

A booming voice echoed across the battlefield, carrying an unparalleled sense of authority.

The soundwaves penetrated deep into Qin Yan's body, causing his internal energy to go berserk.

He suddenly felt his limbs go weak, his legs giving out beneath him—he nearly collapsed onto the ground.

In the next moment, a shadow flickered beside him.

A powerful force swept out, and Qin Yan's body was flung away like a ragdoll, crashing heavily into the ground.

The Arrival of a Martial Saint

A wave of excruciating pain spread through Qin Yan's body.

It felt as if his bones had shattered, his internal organs shaken.

With great difficulty, he lifted his head to look at the newcomer.

It was Wang Chang, the Martial Saint assigned to guard the capital.

The Role of the Capital Guardian

The Capital Guardian Martial Saint was a rotating position among Great Xia's strongest warriors.

Their duty was to respond to threats—whether it was foreign invasions or powerful intruders sneaking into the country.

As one of Great Xia's most elite warriors, Wang Chang's strength was unquestionable.

The Qin and Yun Families Strike Back

Seeing Qin Yan injured, the Qin and Yun family warriors' eyes turned blood-red with fury.

They roared in rage and charged toward Wang Chang, weapons drawn.

To them, failing to protect their young master was the ultimate humiliation.

Wang Chang's Overwhelming Power

Wang Chang let out a cold snort.

A colossal surge of energy erupted from his body.

He casually waved his hand—

A massive phantom palm materialized, sending a dozen warriors flying.

He waved again—

Another dozen warriors were crushed under its force.

Within moments, all the elite warriors of the Qin and Yun families lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

The Liu Family's Reprieve

Seeing this, the Liu family members burst into tears of joy.

They clung to each other, sobbing uncontrollably.

For them, this was a moment of salvation—as if they had narrowly escaped death itself.

A Threat to Qin Yan

Having subdued the warriors, Wang Chang turned his gaze toward the distant battlefield.

"Qin Zhan! Yun Lang! Stand down immediately! Otherwise, I will cripple Qin Yan!"

Qin Zhan's Fury

From afar, Qin Zhan's thunderous voice boomed:

"Wang Chang, you dare?!"

With a single slash, Qin Zhan forced Jiang Mingqing back, then rushed back to Qin Yan's side.

Yun Lang followed closely behind.

Seeing Qin Yan's pale face, both men were seething with rage.

They glared murderously at Wang Chang.

Qin Zhan gritted his teeth.

"Wang Chang, if you lay another hand on Qin Yan, I will kill you where you stand!"

Wang Chang's Unyielding Stance

But Wang Chang wasn't intimidated.

After all, he was also a battle-hardened Martial Saint.

"Qin Zhan, you are already at a disadvantage. Stop being stubborn—stand down!"

As he spoke, Jiang Mingqing and Gao Wei returned, their bodies covered in wounds and blood still dripping from their injuries.

Qin Yan's Defiance

Despite his injuries, Qin Yan pushed himself to his feet.

"Wang Chang! I already said it—today, I will take Gao Wei's life. No one can stop me!"

Wang Chang's expression darkened.

"Boy, don't go too far! If you push me, I will cripple you!"

As he spoke, his Martial Saint aura exploded forth, pressing down on everyone present.

Jiang Mingqing and Gao Wei also released their own auras, intensifying the pressure.

With Wang Chang holding off Qin Zhan, Jiang Mingqing fighting Yun Lang, and Gao Wei handling the remaining warriors, they no longer feared the Qin family.

Qin Yan's Trump Card

But then—

Qin Yan smirked coldly.

"Go ahead. Try it."

He raised his right hand, revealing a smartphone screen displaying a live video call.

On the screen was an elderly man with a commanding presence and eyes like lightning—

Qin Qi.

Qin Yan's grandfather.

One of Great Xia's Three War Gods.

A man who stood at the very pinnacle of the nation's power.

The Presence of a War God

Seeing Qin Qi's cold gaze, Wang Chang felt his heart skip a beat.

His breath caught in his throat.

Even Jiang Mingqing and Gao Wei felt their legs tremble.

Wang Chang's Cowardice

Wang Chang forced a stiff smile, his face pale.

"L-Lord Qin… How have you been?"

"Hmph!"

Qin Qi's snort was like a thunderclap.

"How could I possibly be well?! My own grandson is being attacked, and you expect me to be fine?!"

Wang Chang broke out in cold sweat.

"Lord Qin, this is a misunderstanding! I only meant to scare him! I would never truly harm him!"

Qin Qi's Wrath

"Oh? You didn't harm him?"

Qin Qi's gaze turned murderous.

"Then how do you explain the injuries on his body?!"

Wang Chang nearly cried.

"Lord Qin, this is my fault! I misjudged my strength! I was careless!"

To prove his sincerity, he slapped himself across the face.

"Slap!"

Qin Qi's Command

Qin Qi coldly snorted.

"Get out of my sight."

Wang Chang nodded frantically.

"Y-Yes! Right away!"

He scurried away, not daring to utter another word.

Qin Qi then turned his attention to Jiang Mingqing.

"Jiang Mingqing, are you trying to take sides?"

Jiang Mingqing hurriedly denied it.

"No, Lord Qin! I only want a fair resolution!"

"Fair?"

Qin Qi's voice turned frigid.

"My grandson's decision is the fairest resolution! Do you have a problem with that?!"

Jiang Mingqing grew frustrated.

"Lord Qin, Qin Yan's actions are entirely driven by personal emotion! Do you know what he's doing?! He wants to wipe out the entire Liu family and execute Vice Dean Gao Wei! Gao Wei is a Half-Saint—your Qin family has no right to kill him!"

Qin Qi's Counterattack

"Oh?"

Qin Qi's voice was like ice.

"So my Qin family's dignity should be trampled? Our women and children should be humiliated?!"

Jiang Mingqing tried to argue.

"If Qin Yan hadn't started killing, Gao Wei wouldn't have reacted this way!"

Qin Qi's face darkened.

"So this is my Qin family's fault now?!"

"Are you saying Liu Xinyao's public humiliation of my grandson was also our fault?!"

Qin Qi's Ultimatum

Jiang Mingqing sighed.

"Lord Qin, this is a personal matter. We should not interfere—"

"Bullshit!"

Lightning crackled around Qin Qi as his rage reached its peak.

"Jiang Mingqing! I won't waste words. Since you refuse to listen, I will handle this personally!"

He turned and issued a command.

"Qin Family Army! Prepare for battle! We are returning to the capital! The border is no longer our concern!"

The World Trembles

Wang Chang rushed forward in panic.

"Lord Qin! You can't do this!"

Jiang Mingqing tried to guilt-trip him.

"Lord Qin, if you abandon the border, countless civilians will die! Your Qin family will be blamed!"

Qin Qi laughed coldly.

"So be it! If Great Xia burns, you will be the ones responsible!"
