271: Chapter 271 Strange Things Happening in Broad Daylight

Ghost Souls carried the bed. Ghost Souls carried the sedan chair.

Dozens of female Ghouls were scattered on both sides.

Their arms were wrapped in scarlet silk ribbons.

They carried small bamboo baskets, scattering blood-red Red Spider Lily petals all around.

Those petals danced together with the petals from the sea of blood, forming a striking yet slightly eerie red spectacle.

Occasionally, a chilling, eerie female laughter would drift out, accompanied by the sound of the chinese shawm played by the Ghost Souls. The mixture of festivity and terror left Ning Fengzhi and the others stunned for a moment.

Many eyes fell upon the sedan chair covered in red silk.

As the sedan curtain swayed, one could vaguely see the person inside wearing a vibrant, bright red phoenix coronet and robes.

The silhouette could not be seen clearly, but judging from the entire formation and decoration, this must be a bride getting married.

"What is going on? Stop them!"

Emperor Xue Ye was furious; these fellows actually dared to play god and play the devil on his own turf.

This was the Imperial Palace, a dignified and solemn place; it was not a place for just anyone to come and cause trouble.

Prince Xue Xing immediately commanded the surrounding guards to charge toward the wedding procession.

The guards passed right through the Ghost Souls, and their Spirit Abilities also passed through the bodies of the Ghost Souls.

Everyone was busy for a while, but the wedding procession did not encounter any obstacles.

"Sword Shadows Everywhere!"

Sword Douluo attacked, using his Soul Power to form a sword, whipping up tornado-like ripples of Sword Qi around the blade, forming a hurricane that charged toward the wedding procession.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the ground of the Imperial Palace was torn open, the earth cracking.

After the dust settled, the wedding procession was still moving forward completely intact, without even the slightest damage.

"This..."

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow; Sword Douluo's attack had actually been ignored.

The surrounding guards immediately stopped what they were doing; if even a Titled Douluo could not hit the opponent, let alone them, it was purely a waste of Soul Power.

"Your Majesty, Fengzhi, I do not sense any desire to attack from them. Let us go and see what the situation is before making a decision."

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi chased after the wedding procession.

Prince Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe also led some knights to follow behind.

Xue Qinghe knew exactly what was going on.

Although it was her first time seeing it, what had happened in the Spirit Hall could not escape her intelligence network.

She was also curious about what Su Wen was up to this time.

The wedding procession appeared on the street, surrounded by screams and panic.

Under the already gloomy sky, a procession of Ghouls suddenly appeared.

This scene frightened many people.

Especially those who were not Spirit Masters; they had never seen such a scene—a haunting in broad daylight!

The commoners grabbed their carrying poles and ran; some were so scared that their legs went weak and they collapsed on the ground, but the wedding procession passed directly through them.

Xue Qinghe immediately arranged for the knights to protect the surrounding commoners and calm the people.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, since the opponent ignores physical defenses, why not let the Spirit Masters with Mental Energy try?"

A knight suggested from the side.

After receiving approval from Prince Xue Xing, he immediately arranged for several Spirit Masters to take action.

Five Spirit Masters rushed forward, releasing their respective mental methods—Soul Shock.

Just then, red threads emerged from the sea of blood beneath their feet.

They accurately bound these Spirit Masters, and Ning Fengzhi and the others immediately saw the Souls of these five Spirit Masters being pulled out directly, their bodies left in place, while the Ghost Souls ran over to carry the coffin.

The red ropes dissipated, and the wedding procession continued to move forward, unhurried.

This scene shocked those around; the five Spirit Masters were all Spirit King-level powerhouses, yet they were killed instantly when they joined forces.

Prince Xue Xing felt a pang of heartache as he watched; these were all elites of the Empire. His base of support.

The wedding procession did not encounter any further obstruction.

It arrived all the way at the location of the Moon Pavilion.

At this moment, the noble disciples of the Moon Pavilion had long since fled.

The more noble the status, the more they feared death; the moment the sea of blood appeared, they had already vanished.

Princess Xue Ke, however, remained where she was, as did several people from the Moon Pavilion who were equally anxious.

Several times they wanted to go upstairs to check on the situation of Tang Yuehua and Su Wen, but they were stopped by a woman in blue at the stairs.

Just then, the female Ghoul's laughter and the sound of the chinese shawm drifted into the main hall, and then the wedding procession entered the Moon Pavilion.

Princess Xue Ke's face was pale; she had never seen such a formation. She was so scared that she stood frozen in place. As the procession drifted past her, Princess Xue Ke only felt a chill, her brain seemingly unable to think, and she stood there for a long time without moving. Several timid people nearby collapsed directly to the ground.

"Moon Pavilion... what is going on?"

"The procession actually came to the Moon Pavilion!"

Seeing the Ghoul procession enter the Moon Pavilion, Prince Xue Xing immediately ordered his men to surround it.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, and the two of them also slowly walked in.

Xue Qinghe followed along, feeling somewhat nervous.

Today's events had everything to do with Su Wen.

Although she did not know what he was doing, if he became involved with Fallen Spirit Masters, the impact on the Spirit Hall would be significant.

As soon as everyone entered the Moon Pavilion, the surrounding scene suddenly dissipated, the petals in the air turned into dust, and the red lanterns disappeared as if they had never appeared; everything returned to normal.

"Uncle Sword, what is going on?"

"The aura has disappeared!"

"Princess Xue Ke, why are you here?"

Seeing Princess Xue Ke, Xue Qinghe stepped forward quickly, and the surrounding knights quickly surrounded them to prevent any accidents.

"I... I..."

Princess Xue Ke was too nervous to speak, only able to point upstairs with her finger.

When everyone looked, Su Wen appeared at the stairs, followed by Zi Ji.

Before anyone could ask, Su Wen had already spoken: "Everyone, you have come too late; the remnants of the Fallen Spirit Masters have already been wiped out by me."

"Saint, are you saying that Fallen Spirit Masters have appeared again?"

"But we did not detect any signs of battle just now."

Ning Fengzhi was puzzled.

"I, the Saint, only came here after receiving the message; are you doubting me?"

Su Wen raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was more than just doubt; Ning Fengzhi was seventy percent sure that this was all caused by Su Wen. Although he did not know what he was up to, there was definitely a conspiracy.

"Crown Prince, School Master Ning, Sword Douluo, Prince, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall is right; if the Holy Son had not arrived in time, I would certainly have been in mortal danger!"

Just as everyone was murmuring to themselves, Tang Yuehua appeared beside Su Wen in a silver court dress.

Her appearance made the people of the Moon Pavilion and everyone else heave a heavy sigh of relief.

Tang Yuehua performed a standard court bow to everyone: "A Spirit Master suddenly entered the Moon Pavilion to attack me, and it was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall who helped me out in time."

With Tang Yuehua saying this, most people almost believed what Su Wen had just said.

Tang Yuehua had no reason to lie; the entire Sect knew that she belonged to the Clear Sky Sect and was a hostile force to the Spirit Hall.

It was impossible for the two of them to join forces to deceive others here. Unless, Tang Yuehua was being threatened.
