29: Silver Dragon King

Buzz!

A dark red power spread out in all directions with Su Wen as the center.

The ground beneath his feet turned into a sea of blood.

A Rou's bones were dragged into the sea of blood.

Red spider lilies emerged in patches.

Wherever the dark red light passed, red lanterns appeared on the large trees.

The scene of the Ten-Mile Red Dowry appeared once again.

At the core of the Lake of Life, in a space on the other side of the Spring of Life, lay a massive black dragon, its body covered in scales, appearing deep black throughout.

Its eyes were tightly closed, and with every breath, it seemed to be frantically absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Just then, spider lilies spread in one after another, and red lanterns hung all around.

Ghost Souls flew out from the sea of blood, each carrying different items.

As the spider lilies bloomed, a sea of flowers showered down across the sky.

The sound of a suona and "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" rang out.

The originally slumbering black dragon suddenly opened its deep eyes.

At first, he was dazed, then he looked at the scene before him in surprise.

Four Ghost Souls floated at the very front, carrying a red bed.

Surrounding them were five or six Ghost Souls dressed in red silk, their faces pale and their lips stained with cinnabar.

Their arms were wrapped in scarlet silk ribbons thirty meters long; they carried baskets in their left hands and scattered Red Spider Lily petals into the sky with their right hands, dancing together with the petals in the sea of blood. While the scene was spectacular, the eerie laughter of women would ring out from time to time.

Behind them were over a dozen Ghost Souls holding various ancient musical instruments, playing the sound of the suona.

Further back, eight Ghost Souls carried a red sedan chair, floating in the air.

The sedan chair was covered in red silk, and its curtains swayed from time to time.

One could vaguely see the person inside wearing a vibrant phoenix coronet and robes.

Behind the sedan chair were all sorts of strange Ghost Souls.

Some carried mirrors, some carried quilts, some carried chests... and finally, there was a coffin.

The procession was grand and majestic; the sound of the suona accompanied the spider lilies, and the entire procession was a mixture of festivity and horror.

The black dragon was stunned.

He had never seen such a strange scene before.

He snapped out of it.

Immediately, he flew into a rage.

He struck out with a dragon claw.

It brought about a powerful airflow, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding space.

The claw landed within the bridal procession.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly tore open, and a massive deep pit appeared.

But the bridal procession remained completely unscathed, advancing unhurriedly toward the distance; even the sound of the suona was unaffected.

It was as if the dragon claw had struck nothing at all.

A look of astonishment appeared in the black dragon's furious pupils.

Following a flash of light,

The black dragon disappeared, replaced by a tall, stern-faced middle-aged man dressed in a black robe.

"Ten Thousand Demon King, go outside and see what's happening! How can such strange things appear here!"

..."Xiao Wen, is it not here yet?"

Bibi Dong looked around, and unable to wait any longer for the bridal procession, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"This... I don't know either; the Spirit Ability has already been released!"

Su Wen looked at the surrounding scene, which was still filled with red decorations everywhere.

The contract was definitely successful; as for where it would be delivered from, he wasn't sure.

"It's here!"

Bibi Dong's brow relaxed.

The people from the Spirit Hall also looked over curiously.

The sound of the suona was close at hand.

Then, they all saw the grand procession of Ghost Souls floating in the air.

They were rushing toward this direction.

Some of these Cardinal Bishops were seeing it for the first time, while others had watched from afar back at the Spirit Hall.

But regardless, they all felt a sense of shock.

This continent had never seen such a way of receiving a bride before.

"Old Eagle, why are your legs shaking?"

"I'm afraid of ghosts!"

"Uh, you're a Rank 76 Spirit Saint, after all!"

"I'm afraid of ghosts!"

"You are a man like a majestic eagle!"

"I'm afraid of ghosts!"

"..."

"Lake of Life!"

Su Wen noticed that they were coming from the direction of the Lake of Life.

Recalling that last time they came from the direction of the Spirit Hall.

Su Wen suddenly understood a bit.

Within a ten-mile radius, the procession would start from wherever seemed most noble.

"Bang!"

The red sedan chair landed, a cold wind blew, and the curtain opened automatically.

Inside, there was surprisingly a woman dressed in a blood-colored wedding dress.

Just like last time, a red thread floated out from Su Wen's spirit ring.

Watching this scene, even though she had seen it once before, Bibi Dong still felt a wave of emotion in her heart.

The entire procession looked like a wedding; it was clearly a festive atmosphere, yet it was also extremely eerie.

Bibi Dong watched as Su Wen took A Rou into his spirit ring.

She glanced at his left hand, saw another red thread had been added, and knew it was over.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly: "Return to Spirit City!"

"As you command, Supreme Pontiff!"

Everyone snapped back to their senses and began to leave the place in an orderly fashion.

Bibi Dong held Su Wen's hand; the latter's small face was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a surge of Soul Power lifted Su Wen up, and Bibi Dong took him and flew into the air.

"What are you thinking about?"

Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

"Teacher, did you notice that there were many dowry items in the bridal procession?"

"Hehe, what... you actually took it seriously? That's just fake."

"I feel like it's not!"

Su Wen hadn't carefully observed the bridal procession when they were at the Spirit Hall.

There were too many people then, and he wanted to finish quickly without drawing too much attention, so he hadn't thought much about it.

But he had seen that procession just now very clearly.

"What... are you still hoping she can bring a dowry?"

Bibi Dong gave him a faint glance.

"It seems so..."

Su Wen responded with an embarrassed look, but in his heart, he had already decided to go back and ask A Rou and Ah Yin.

After all, his Spirit had always exuded an air of strangeness and mystery.

As the people from the Spirit Hall left, a handsome man with a slightly pale, greenish complexion and emerald-green eyes quietly gazed in their direction.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and then he vanished from the spot... "What... a Spirit Beast married a human Spirit Master..."

"What nonsense are you talking to me..."

In the space beneath the core of the Lake of Life, the middle-aged man looked strangely at the Ten Thousand Demon King who had returned.

"It is indeed so, and that scene was a bit..."

The Ten Thousand Demon King couldn't quite describe that scene either; if you said it was festive, it was full of a horrific atmosphere, and if you said it was strange, they were clearly marrying off a bride.

He could only say: "In short, the Spirit Beast vanished into his spirit ring, and then that was it."

Di Tian felt a hint of shock in his heart. Just which Spirit Beast had such heavy tastes to fall for such a weak ant?

Wait, the Spirit Beast vanished into the spirit ring?

Are you sure it wasn't absorbed by someone?

"Di Tian!"

Suddenly, an ethereal voice drifted over.

Di Tian's whole body tensed up.

Then, his face was full of annoyance; those guys blowing the big suonas just now had actually woken up the Lord.

Di Tian didn't dare to delay and hurriedly left to face the Lord.

"Ten Thousand Demon King, what was that sound just now... why was it so catchy?"

Just as Di Tian left, a woman with long purple-black hair and a hot figure walked over.

The Ten Thousand Demon King was startled, then immediately recalled the sound played in the procession earlier.

Although he didn't know what it was, it sounded quite good.

He thought for a moment before speaking: "A Ghost Wedding!"
