23: A grand wedding procession of ten miles in red, carrying a coffin to the bride's home.

"Xiao Wen, the Blue Silver Emperor's 100,000-year spirit bone is quite similar to the Blue Silver King's!"

Ye Yuaner looked at these two Spirit Bones, unable to put them down.

One was a 100,000-year one, and the other was an 80,000-year one.

These were both top-quality Spirit Bones.

Turning her head, she saw Su Wen fiddling with a stalk of grass.

She put down the Spirit Bones.

She walked forward.

"Xiao Wen, why did you put a stalk of Blue Silver Grass here?"

"Aunt Ye, this isn't Blue Silver Grass!"

"Eh?"

"This really isn't grass; it's the Blue Silver Emperor, the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast that Qian Xunji wanted back then."

Hearing this,

Ye Yuaner's originally speechless expression suddenly turned into one of surprise.

"It's actually her? But wasn't she dead? I remember she sacrificed herself to Tang Hao!"

Su Wen feigned thought and then started making things up: "I read in a book that Blue Silver Grass has strong vitality. At a hundred years, it's a beast; at a thousand, a general; at ten thousand, a king; and at a hundred thousand, an emperor. Even if it dies after a hundred thousand years, it will leave behind a seed. Perhaps the Blue Silver Emperor relied on this seed to come back to life, though it will need to Cultivate back to a hundred thousand years to regain human form."

Ye Yuaner suddenly felt like her horizons had been broadened.

Her beautiful eyes blinked a few times, seemingly processing this information.

She suddenly hugged Su Wen's head and gave him a loud peck on the cheek.

"Giggle, Xiao Wen is so impressive; you know so much."

Seeing his disgusted look, Ye Yuaner felt even more excited and reached out to wipe the wet mark off his face.

"So, you're planning to use your First Soul Skill..."

Ye Yuaner swallowed hard.

Xiao Wen's method of revenge was like stabbing Tang Hao right in the heart.

She could almost see Tang Hao's furious expression already.

An incompetent husband!

"Yes!"

Su Wen summoned his Bridal Ghost Emperor Spirit, and the yellow spirit ring beneath his feet rose.

"Underworld Marriage!"

As the spirit ring lit up, a dark red light centered on Su Wen quickly spread in all directions.

Everywhere the light reached, everything turned into a sea of blood.

Red spider lilies sprouted within the sea of blood.

The buildings were hung with red lanterns, each bearing the character for "Double Happiness."

The Blue Silver Emperor was also pulled into the sea of blood by a force.

In just an instant, the sea of blood enveloped the entire Elder Palace. The Titled Douluos inside all looked around in confusion, sensing the source of the power coming from Spirit Kite Douluo's courtyard.

The red area continued to expand, spreading all the way to the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Bibi Dong was listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo report information on Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.

A gust of Yin Qi suddenly blew into the hall.

Immediately after, the ground became a sea of blood, with spider lilies sprouting and red lanterns appearing at intervals.

There was no intent to attack, only an atmosphere of celebration and Yin Qi shrouding the surroundings.

"These flowers..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the spider lilies on the ground, sensing that this aura came from Su Wen.

He instinctively looked at Bibi Dong, whose beautiful eyes also showed surprise.

"What is that brat doing right after coming back!"

Bibi Dong flickered to the gates of the Supreme Pontiff Palace; the Hall Guard Knight outside were already in a state of chaos.

They weren't Titled Douluos and couldn't immediately pinpoint the source of the power, so they treated it as an enemy attack.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to speak, the petals of the spider lilies suddenly drifted up, scattering a sea of flowers into the sky.

Ghost Souls emerged from the ground, each carrying something.

Looking closely, it looked just like a wedding procession!

A suona horn wailed at the front of the procession, and with the Red Spider Lily petals filling the sky, Spirit Hall was instantly plunged into a mixture of the eerie and the festive.

"The red bed leads the way!"

"The coffin brings up the rear!"

"One life of life and death!"

This scene left all the Hall Guard Knight dazed.

"It's actually a wedding... but why is the scene so eerie?"

"Flowers, Ghost Souls, a coffin, a red bed... it's both festive and terrifying. Is this a Ghost Wedding?"

"An illusion! Someone is actually using an illusion in our Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong was somewhat shocked by the sight before her.

Hearing the discussions around her, she struck her scepter heavily against the ground.

"Quiet!"

Instantly, silence fell, leaving only the sound of the suona.

Watching the wedding procession move further away, Bibi Dong took to the air and chased after the Ghost Souls.

"This... this is truly rare. Did that little fellow create this?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was also shocked and nudged Ghost Douluo beside him: "Old Ghost, you have a ghost-type Spirit too. Can you pull this off?"

It was meant as a joke, but Ghost Douluo's voice was solemn: "Although he hasn't revealed his Spirit, when I came into contact with him earlier, my Gui Mei Spirit felt suppressed..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo: "..."

"Grandpa, look! Why are there so many petals in the sky? These flowers are so bright, like blood!"

In the Hall of Worship, a frail girl with twin buns pointed ahead with her delicate finger: "Grandpa, there's a ghost getting married!"

"Ten miles of red dowry, carrying a sedan to marry, and a coffin as a dowry. How interesting!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo was also drawn to the unique scene.

"High Priest!"

Seeing the High Priest walk out of the Hall of Worship, Gold Crocodile Douluo pointed at the surrounding sea of blood: "This ghost domain has enveloped Spirit Hall, yet it specifically bypassed the Hall of Worship. It seems whoever did this knows that inside the Hall of Worship..."

Qian Daoliu glanced around and then fixed his gaze on the Elder Palace.

In the Elder Palace, Su Wen watched the wedding procession draw closer. Surrounded by the Titled Douluos of the Elder Palace, even Bibi Dong had arrived, leaving him feeling quite embarrassed.

Su Wen never expected the commotion to be so large.

Those who didn't know better would think he'd activated his Ninth Spirit Ability!

As the red sedan landed, a sinister wind whistled past, making the sedan curtains sway. One could vaguely see a person inside wearing a phoenix coronet and robes, with a red veil over their head.

The moment the curtain was pulled back, a red thread drifted from Su Wen's first spirit ring, connecting to the woman in the sedan, wrapping around her left hand, and pulling her out.

The woman wore a red veil, obscuring her face, but her phoenix coronet and robes drew gasps of admiration from those in the Elder Palace; they had never seen such attire before.

The woman was pulled in front of Su Wen. After a brief hesitation, he lifted her red veil, revealing a soft and gentle face.

Ye Yuaner stood nearby, her brows furrowing slightly. Just as she was about to say something, the figure suddenly merged into the spirit ring and vanished.

A red thread appeared on Su Wen's left hand.

The wedding procession also vanished into the sea of blood at that moment, disappearing completely.

The surrounding scenery gradually returned to normal.

But the expressions of the Titled Douluos around had not yet recovered.

"Using a spirit ring to receive a bride... this seat is seeing this for the first time!"

"Old Xiong, never mind the spirit ring for a moment—what on earth is going on?"

"Indeed, it's strange. How can this kid's First Soul Skill look so unique..."

Bibi Dong struck her scepter heavily, and a majestic wave of Soul Power radiated outward.

At the same time, a cold and majestic voice echoed through Spirit Hall: "Everyone, return. Today's events are not to be spoken of outside!"
