160: Chapter 160 The Marriage Certificate Reveals the Demon, the Imperial Carriage Presses In!
Peak Master Jiang Qiyue also stood up, a spiritual talisman flying out of her sleeve.
"All Disciples of the Holy Land who understand Formations, gather at the Chu Family tomorrow morning."
"Since the Wang Family likes to set up Formations, let them taste what it's like when a Formation collapses on their own heads."
Luo Qinghan stepped in front of Lin Yi and threw an Imperial Protective Talisman to him.
"Keep it."
"Fight your battle tomorrow."
"Don't worry about the sky."
Lin Yi caught it, his palm feeling heavy.
Revered Master had already paved the way for him.
He only needed to suppress Xu Tian; there was no need to worry about anyone else.
The Hall Meeting soon dispersed.
Everyone went to make their own preparations.
Just before leaving, Zhou Qing paused and turned to look at Lin Yi.
"One more thing."
Lin Yi looked up.
Zhou Qing said indifferently, "Bring the marriage contract."
"When you tear it apart tomorrow, remember to have the people from the Wang Family and Heaven and Earth Gate stand closer."
Lin Yi understood and curled his lips into a smile.
"This Disciple understands."
The marriage contract wouldn't just be evidence tomorrow.
It would also be a slap to the opponent's face.
And a death warrant to destroy Xu Tian and the others!!
The hall doors slowly opened.
The night wind poured in along the long steps, carrying the cold sound of clashing armor.
Lights flickered on one by one throughout the Chu Family Ancestral City.
The war drums had not yet sounded.
But everyone knew that when that sound fell tomorrow, the Wang Family would see blood.
Lin Yi stood before the hall doors, looking deep into the Eastern Desolate.
That was the direction of the Wang Family Ancestral Land.
It was also the burial ground Xu Tian had chosen for him.
He tucked the half-scroll of the marriage contract into his sleeve and turned back into the hall.
Tomorrow, the Eastern Expedition.
Destroy the Wang Family, slaughter Xu Tian!
...
The night had not yet faded.
In the palace on the east side of the Chu Family Ancestral City, the lights flickered.
A long table sat in the middle of the hall.
On the table lay the half-scroll of the marriage contract, along with the fragmented light of the Formation map that Lin Yi had extracted from the Wang Family spy's Sea of Consciousness.
Su Yuxi stood on the left, her fingertip tracing a line, and the cluster of fragmented light spread out instantly.
Buzz!
A soft tremble.
In the Wang Family Ancestral Land, the half-scroll of the marriage contract in Xu Tian's hand, along with the underground ancestral veins and the network of the Life-Binding Grand Formation, all floated into the air.
Lin Yi hooked his finger, tossing the half-scroll of the marriage contract from the table into the air, merging it with Xu Tian's half-scroll into one.
Then, he pushed his Primordial Immortal Pupil to its limit, scanning the light screen and the complete marriage contract inch by inch.
On the outer layer of the Wang Family's Formation, blood-colored runes intertwined.
At the center of the Life-Binding Grand Formation, the marriage contract hung high.
He had looked through these things once before, but he still felt something was missing.
Now, looking again, the things hidden deep within the paper's fibers finally revealed themselves.
Lin Yi's brow furrowed.
"Found it."
Several people in the hall turned their heads at the same time.
Chu Wanqing, holding her imperial zither, stepped forward and asked in a crisp voice:
"Brother Lin Yi, where is the problem?"
Lin Yi pointed his finger at the inner layer of the marriage contract.
The light screen trembled, and the surface of the half-scroll of the marriage contract was peeled away layer by layer.
The outermost layer was Ancient Primordial Patterns, and further inside were several very new imprints.
These imprints were hidden extremely well.
If Lin Yi hadn't pushed his Primordial Immortal Pupil to its limit, they would have been hard to detect.
Lin Yi pointed to those lines of text and said.
"Look here."
He swept his hand, and a line of ancient characters on the Old Covenant lit up first.
"If the descendants of both families are willing, they may become Dao Companions and guard the Forbidden Ground together.
If either party is unwilling, this covenant shall be voided."
Then, he pointed again.
That layer of imprints rose, and another layer of new characters appeared.
"The Shen Family Saintess shall follow the command of her ancestors.
She must fulfill this covenant for life and shall not disobey!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall froze.
Xu Chen's face turned pale, and he cursed under his breath.
"Damn it, Heaven and Earth Gate really has no shame!"
Shen Qingyue walked to the long table and placed her palm over the marriage contract.
The aura of the Primordial Dao Body poured in along the lines of her palm.
As the white light entered, the marriage contract shuddered instantly.
Hiss!
A wisp of black smoke rose from the edge of the paper.
In the next instant, the two layers of handwriting emerged one after another.
The upper layer was blackened, entwined with Yin Qi.
The lower layer had a heavy ancient feel, carrying the pure and righteous Dao Rhyme of the Shen Family.
The two types of handwriting were pressed together; one could tell at a glance which was real and which was fake.
Chu Wanqing stared at the layer of black characters, her chest heaving with anger.
She gritted her teeth and cursed in a crisp voice:
"That dog Xu Tian actually altered the marriage contract; he really has lived long enough!"
Su Yuxi only glanced at it and sneered.
"Heh! Xu Tian probably doesn't have that kind of ability!
This matter was likely done by that Heaven and Earth Gate Grand Elder!"
Lin Yi raised his hand, and the cluster of aura was instantly shattered by him.
The hall was quiet for a few moments.
Shen Qingyue then slowly withdrew her hand.
The marriage contract fell back onto the table.
The original characters and the forged characters were separated into two layers, no longer hidden.
Xu Chen stood to the side holding the ancient desolate hall, his face scrunched up.
"That kid Xu Tian is tired of living!"
"Daring to provoke my sister-in-law, this young Revered Master will kill him tomorrow!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Chu Wanqing turned her head and glared at him.
"You sure are quick to call her that."
Xu Chen shrunk his neck but didn't back down.
"What did I say wrong?"
"That dog dared to provoke Sister Qingyue; if we don't kill him, he'll really think we're easy to talk to!"
After hearing this, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
"Those words aren't wrong."
He raised his hand and rolled up the marriage contract again.
Su Yuxi gave him a look and asked, "What do you plan to do tomorrow?"
Lin Yi paced and responded.
"I want to tear this thing apart layer by layer in front of everyone."
"Let the people of the Three Thousand Realms see how foul the Old Covenant in Heaven and Earth Gate's mouth really is!"
Shen Qingyue looked up at Lin Yi and spoke softly.
"Thank you! Lin Yi!"
After saying that, she gathered her courage and gave Lin Yi a big hug.
At this moment, she finally lifted the stone that had been weighing on her heart for so long.
...
The next day.
Before the daylight was fully bright, the war drums of the Chu Family Ancestral City sounded first.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
One sound after another.
The Chu Family elite and the Holy Land Disciples gathered rapidly from all directions, their armor reflecting the cold light, chilling and intimidating.
They were waiting to travel with Lin Yi, while Zhou Qing and the others had already set out ahead of time.
Lin Yi summoned the imperial carriage, his figure flashing as he stepped inside.
The three women's skirts swept as they also entered the carriage.
Xu Chen, holding the ancient desolate hall, scurried in quickly, still muttering.
"For today's Big Feast, the Wang Family is going to serve themselves up on the table!"
Chu Wanqing slapped him on the back of the head.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
"All you know is eating!"
Xu Chen clutched his head, feeling very aggrieved.
"I'm not allowed to speak, but I'm the one livening up the atmosphere!"
Lin Yi stood at the front of the carriage and looked back at everyone.
"Sit tight! Let's go!"
With those words.
The imperial carriage soared into the sky, with the Chu Family elite and Holy Land Disciples following closely behind.
A long trail of air was blasted open directly above the Eastern Desolate.
At the same time.
The Heavenly Emperor's Tripod pressed forward first, with the world-suppressing imperial might hanging from its mouth.
The immortal burial coffin hung behind, flickering with black light.
The haotian pagoda was hidden above the imperial carriage, locking the surrounding space at all times.
This Formation was as grand as could be, with no intention of hiding anything!
The imperial carriage rolled across the sky.
Mountains receded.
Long rivers swept back.
The Cultivators along the way looked up, their expressions more vivid than the last.
Some recognized the immortal burial coffin at a glance and felt their scalps go numb.
Some saw the Heavenly Emperor's Tripod and were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.
Many onlookers also followed with various Magic Treasures.
These people had varying levels of cultivation, and none of their intentions were pure.
They were either waiting to see how the Wang Family would be destroyed.
Or waiting to see how Lin Yi would fail.
Of course, more people were waiting for the great battle to break out so they could fish in troubled waters.
