Chapter 211 The Sword Demon's Wedding Robbery

Following Eunuch Qiu's departure, Cao Gang Protector Liao Tao and Golden Pattern Governor Xu Jingfeng followed closely behind, all heading towards the southern city gate.

At the city gate, the Buddhist Son, Awakening to emptiness, had already appeared in mid-air.

A halo of Buddha light appeared behind his head, and his entire being radiated a faint golden glow, holy and majestic.

As this golden light shone upon the surrounding commoners, they became even more devout, almost turning into mindless livestock, knowing only how to kowtow and bow towards Awakening to emptiness.

Just at this moment, Eunuch Qiu finally appeared nearby.

He flicked his fingers repeatedly, shooting strands of pink silk forward, attempting to sever the opponent's eerie Buddha light.

The silk threads traversed hundreds of zhang, like the sharpest needles, slicing the air ahead into pieces.

This was the "Thousand Thread Pull," a technique from the Imperial Palace that only eunuchs who had reached the Ninth Realm of cultivation could practice, specifically designed to break hard-training Cultivation Techniques.

If practiced to the highest Realm, it could easily pierce through divine weapons.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The most exquisite aspect of the Thousand Thread Pull lay in its speed, which was several times faster than sound, and its unpredictable movement technique.

Eunuch Qiu's figure had just appeared several miles away before he vanished again.

Then, one could see figures flickering within hundreds of meters around Awakening to emptiness, with pink silk threads shooting out from every direction, connecting into a dense web.

"Retract!"

The next moment, Eunuch Qiu reappeared in front, letting out a low shout.

Crack!

This was the sound of the air being severed, as a large web composed of pink silk threads covered Awakening to emptiness.

If one were caught in this web, they would likely be sliced into thousands of pieces instantly.

"Presumptuous! How dare you be disrespectful to the Buddhist Son?!"

Suppress Three Mountains reacted only at this moment, his face full of shock and anger.

This eunuch's movement technique was too astonishing; he only saw a shadow of the opponent and nothing else.

Seeing the opponent dare to attack Awakening to emptiness, he struck out with a palm in his rage.

Boom!

The palm print tore through the air, transforming into a giant hand that reached for the heavens, suppressing hundreds of zhang in the surrounding area as it grabbed towards Eunuch Qiu.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Eunuch Qiu let out a disdainful cold snort, flicked his middle finger, and a silk thread shot out like lightning.

Swish!

The silk thread pierced through the giant palm and, with lightning speed, appeared before Suppress Three Mountains.

What?

Suppress Three Mountains was terrified, striking out with three consecutive palms, boom, boom, boom.

These three palms compressed and exploded the air in front, the thunderous sound booming for over ten miles. The kowtowing commoners nearby were shocked unconscious in droves, and many others knelt on the ground screaming, with blood seeping from their ears.

Even so, these people continued to devoutly kowtow towards Awakening to emptiness above, completely unaware of what had happened.

The three palms struck by Suppress Three Mountains in his desperation were certainly not weak.

But compared to Eunuch Qiu's Thousand Thread Pull, there was still a gap.

The silk thread shot through his palm print, then pierced his flesh palm, grazing his cheek as it flew past, no one knew where it shot off to.

A piercing pain came from his palm and face.

But Suppress Three Mountains could not care about these things; he only looked to the other side, fearing that the Buddhist Son, Awakening to emptiness, might be in trouble.

He saw that outside the dense golden light around him, the web formed by the Thousand Thread Pull had encased Awakening to emptiness, but it could not penetrate the golden light at all, being firmly blocked outside.

Suppress Three Mountains finally put his heart at ease.

It made sense; why would he need to worry about the Buddhist Son of Nalanda Temple?

Although this old eunuch had extraordinary strength, he could absolutely not be the Buddhist Son's opponent.

"Namo amitabha!"

At this moment, the Buddhist Son, Awakening to emptiness, slowly chanted a Buddha name, and the golden light on his body suddenly erupted.

Pfft!

The web constructed by thousands of silk threads dissipated like blue smoke, without causing the slightest ripple.

The golden light on the Buddhist Son, Awakening to emptiness, remained, falling upon the surrounding believers, whose voices were like a roaring sea, becoming even more magnificent.

"Merciful Light Illuminating the Sutra of Deliverance from Calamity?!!"

Eunuch Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth:

"Are you an evil monk from the Nalanda Temple of the Western Regions?!"

...

After Eunuch Qiu and the others left towards the city gate, the others remaining in the Prefectural Governors Mansion were all alarmed.

Although Tongzhou Prefecture was large, the commotion at the city gate could not be hidden from the senses of a Great Grandmaster.

Such excitement was clearly much more attractive than the wedding.

Especially seeing several Supreme Grandmasters leave by flying through the air one after another, the remaining people could no longer hold back.

"Lord She, please allow me to take my leave first to see what kind of evil person dares to come to my Tongzhou Prefecture to cause chaos?"

"Governor, this Junior shall take my leave for now!"

"Congratulations, Lord She! Congratulations, Young Miss She! Keep the wedding wine poured; I shall return shortly!"

Several experts of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm from major powers spoke up, and more Jianghu people stood up, eagerly wanting to head to the city gate to watch the battle.

She Zhijiu raised his hand to press down, his voice calm as he spoke:

"Everyone, hold on!"

"Wait until my daughter's wedding ceremony is concluded, and I will accompany you all there together!"

He was a Late Stage Supreme Grandmaster and could deeply feel how terrifying that young monk was.

Across half the city, the opponent's Aura was full of oppression.

This was also the reason why Eunuch Qiu left immediately to engage the opponent in battle.

At this moment, he could not care about chatting with his daughter; he ordered the servants and ceremonial officials to quickly finish the procedures, send his daughter into the bridal sedan chair, and then go to the city gate to see who exactly that monk was.

What was his purpose in coming to his Tongzhou Prefecture?

Especially on this sensitive day, with his daughter about to be married, could the opponent be a rival of the First Prince, intentionally coming to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Hexuan by his side, feeling some comfort in his heart.

As expected of his sworn brother, the person whom Manman called Uncle, still staying by his side now—he must want to personally watch Manman get into the bridal sedan chair, right?

"Brother Qin, let's go; you and I, brothers, will send Manman off together!"

After speaking, he saw that Qin Hexuan's expression was grave, standing motionless in place.

"Brother Qin?"

She Zhijiu's brows couldn't help but furrow, and he called out again.

At this moment, Qin Hexuan seemed to react, his lips trembling slightly as he pointed to the corner ahead.

She Zhijiu looked in the direction his finger pointed, only to see a young man leaning against the wall, toying with a wine cup in his hand.

She Zhijiu was shocked.

A chill rose from his back, instantly crawling over his scalp.

Blade Demon Yan Chu!

He had actually appeared in the Prefectural Governors Mansion? When did he come over?

Although he had not personally seen this face, he had already looked at the opponent's portrait hundreds of times over these past few days, making it even more familiar than the dozen or so beautiful concubines in his backyard.

Following She Zhijiu's gaze, others soon looked over one after another.

A trace of surprise appeared on Zheng Wan's charming, fair face, and her heart began to thump-thump again.

Perhaps it was because they had the most intimate relationship!

Or perhaps Yan Chu was indeed powerful and handsome enough to conquer her both physically and mentally.

In any case, Zheng Wan now felt no malice towards Yan Chu, only a faint shyness.

But at this moment, no one noticed the change in her expression.

"This is... Blade Demon Yan Chu?"

There were others present who had also seen Yan Chu's portrait, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

After all, Yan Chu was now a Prodigy renowned throughout Jianghu; in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, there was probably no one who did not know of him.

"What? It's the Blade Demon?"

"It really is him! I specifically bought his portrait to look at!"

Whoosh—

The whole place was in an uproar; at this moment, no one cared about the great battle at the city gate anymore.

Blade Demon Yan Chu had actually appeared in the Tongzhou Prefecture's Prefectural Governors Mansion, at the wedding of She's Young Miss; this scene simply shocked everyone present.

But what shocked them even more was what Yan Chu said next.

Seeing Yan Chu look at She Zhijiu, he said with a half-smile:

"Lord She, I see that your daughter does not seem satisfied with this marriage!"

"How about we make a deal? Today, I will let you be my cheap father-in-law, and how about we wipe out the grudges between us?"
