140: Chapter 140: Fu You from the Seven Star Palace in Heaven has come to congratulate you on your wedding!
As the shouts faded, two figures appeared above the plaza, enveloped in a faint Saint's might.
"Hahaha, Brother Yuehua, our two families are now in-laws!" laughed Ling Xiao, the Valley Master of Qingxu Valley, a dominant force in Xuan Province.
Sect Master Yuehua of Lanyue Sect beamed with joy. He truly had a good daughter, to be favored by Ling Ying, the second Young Master of Qingxu Valley.
Not only was Ling Ying immensely talented, but more crucially, he had a formidable elder brother: Ling Yu Fan, the Profound Plains Dao Child of the Heaven Continent.
A Dao Child! That was someone acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao, a being with the potential to become a Great Emperor in the future! Although their Lanyue Sect was a first-rate power in Xuan Province, compared to him, the difference was vast.
The more Yuehua thought about it, the more excited he became. Perhaps in the future, he could leverage their power to retrieve the other azure wood pearl from Prison City.
Thinking of this, he hastily said to Ling Xiao, "I wouldn't dare. It is my Yuehua Sect that is climbing the social ladder. To be favored by Young Master Ling Ying is Yue Ru's good fortune."
Ling Xiao stroked his beard, quite pleased with Yuehua's words. In truth, he hadn't agreed to this marriage at first, but his foolish son was stubborn, insisting he would marry no one but the Lanyue Sect Master's daughter. Left with no choice, he had to agree.
Just then, another shout echoed from the Void Realm, "The hour has come! The newlyweds shall enter!"
Across the plaza, a couple dressed in auspicious red wedding attire slowly entered. The groom, Ling Ying, wore a calm expression, completely devoid of wedding day joy.
Jiang Xuan felt a peculiar sensation in his heart. With his exceptionally strong Divine Soul power, he infiltrated the Sea of Consciousness of the bride, who was walking beside Ling Ying, veiled by a red head covering.
After a long while, Jiang Xuan's expression turned playful. "Interesting."
Noticing the bride's footsteps falter, Ling Ying frowned and said indifferently, "What is it?"
Yue Ru, beneath her veil, snapped back to reality, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Hearing his words, she hastily whispered, "Nothing."
"Oh, and your elder brother, is he really coming back today?"
Hearing this, Ling Ying felt a touch of displeasure. "My elder brother said he would come, so he will definitely come. You have no right to question it."
Sensing the anger in Ling Ying's voice, Yue Ru feigned a look of grievance, but inwardly, she was extremely displeased. If it weren't to get close to your brother, I wouldn't marry you.
"Heh heh, Brother Ying, I'm not late, am I?" At this moment, a voice came from the Void Realm. A young man with an ethereal demeanor, treading on clouds, instantly descended before everyone.
Jiang Xuan glanced at him. This person must be Ling Yu Fan, possessing the seventh Saint Physique, the Star Holy Body! He could resonate with the myriad stars, drawing upon their power to unleash Divine Abilities.
After observing for a while, Jiang Xuan lost interest. His Physique was just starting, and his strength was not even comparable to Nangong Aotian's.
Below, Ling Ying, upon seeing Ling Yu Fan, a rare smile of delight appeared on his usually indifferent face. "Big Brother, you've come."
The two brothers had lost their mother when they were young, and their father was always busy. Thus, their elder brother had always taken care of him, fostering a deep bond.
Seeing his elder brother travel thousands of miles to attend, a surge of emotion welled up in his heart.
Meanwhile, Yue Ru, standing beside him, had a different glint in her eyes.
"Hahaha, Fan'er, you've finally returned. How was your journey? Did you meet that legendary figure from the Barren Province?"
Hearing this, Ling Yu Fan's eyes showed regret. "This child did not meet him. I don't know if the news from the Barren Province is true or false."
Yuehua, from the side, said, "Is Dao Child Yu Fan referring to the Chaos Holy Body that news spread about from the Barren Province a while ago?"
Ling Yu Fan nodded. "Precisely."
"Heh heh," Yuehua chuckled softly, continuing, "In this old man's opinion, that's just fake news spread by the Barren Province to gain attention and shake off the title of 'Waste Province.'"
What Chaos Holy Body? Yuehua was inwardly disdainful. How could such a figure be born in a mere 'Waste Province'? And killing Saints like slaughtering dogs, even more preposterous, cleaving a Great Emperor's projection with a single sword. Even lies should be a bit more reasonable.
Ling Yu Fan shook his head, seemingly unwilling to continue discussing the matter, and said indifferently, "Perhaps."
After speaking, he said to the two, "Father, Sect Master Yuehua, let the wedding continue. We mustn't delay Brother Ying's important event."
"Right, right, right! Look, I almost forgot the main business..."
Just as Yuehua was about to order the wedding ceremony to resume, a loud shout came from outside the plaza! "Fu You, Hall Master of the Seven Star Hall of the Celestial Realm, comes to congratulate the wedding ceremony!"
"Bang!"
Before the crowd could react, a figure instantly flew in from outside the venue, landing in the center, spitting blood. It was precisely the Lanyue Sect Disciple who had asked Jiang Xuan for a Saint medicine at the mountain gate.
Immediately after, a black coffin suddenly dropped straight from the sky, landing squarely on the Disciple. A loud thud echoed, and the entire person was instantly disfigured.
Fu You stood upright on top of the coffin, his gaze at Yuehua filled with hatred. For a moment, the entire plaza fell silent, somewhat stunned by this sudden turn of events.
A moment later, the crowd reacted, looking at Fu You with strange eyes. "This person is too bold, isn't he? To dare cause trouble here. Who sends a coffin to a wedding? It's too unlucky."
"Could it be that he has a grudge against the two sects?"
"Presumptuous!" Yuehua's gloomy face looked like it would drip water.
"Who are you?! A mere Supreme dares to cause trouble in my Lanyue Sect? Are you seeking death?!"
Fu You's expression was grim, a cold sneer on his lips. "Old dog Yuehua, don't you recognize me? Have you forgotten the Fu clan, whom you slaughtered?"
Yuehua's pupils constricted, and his eyes fell into memory. In an instant, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "So it's you, a fish that slipped through the net back then."
"Heh heh. If I were you, having miraculously escaped death back then, I would have obediently hidden away, never daring to show myself for a lifetime, until I died of old age."
"I truly don't understand how you, a mere Supreme, dare to show yourself here."
Yuehua's eyes were full of mockery. He didn't take Fu You's appearance seriously at all. A Supreme? He could wipe out a large number of them with a casual wave.
Ling Xiao, standing nearby, had a grim expression. Today was his son's wedding. Although he didn't know what grievances existed between them, if this matter wasn't handled well, his Qingxu Valley, as a provincial overlord, would lose face.
He said with displeasure, "Sect Master Yuehua, deal with this quickly. Don't waste time."
Yuehua's expression tightened. He hastily cupped his fists and said, "Valley Master Ling, please don't be offended. This is the Lanyue Sect's fault. We will definitely give you an explanation afterward."
"Hmph!" Ling Xiao flicked his sleeve, snorting coldly, waiting for Yuehua to handle the matter.
Below, Man Dali's eyes were somewhat eager. He whispered to Jiang Xuan, "Brother Jiang Xuan, it looks like there's going to be a fight! I don't like this Lanyue Sect. Should we help the person on the coffin?"
Jiang Xuan looked at the Battle Intent in Dali's eyes and laughed, "There's a Saint there. Aren't you afraid?"
Man Dali scratched his head, his expression puzzled. "Are Saints very strong? I think he's about the same as the ox in our village."
Jiang Xuan was momentarily stunned. So that's what you meant by 'beating an ox to death'?
He waved Man Dali over and whispered something in his ear. Man Dali's eyes instantly lit up. "Brother Jiang Xuan, just watch. Leave it to me!"
In front, Yuehua no longer wasted time. Saint's power surged in his hand, and he struck a palm towards Fu You. "Hmph, a mere ant. To die like this is too easy for you."
If the timing weren't wrong, he would definitely torture Fu You to death!
