Chapter 3913: Chapter 3913: Killing Intent in the Dark (First Update)
...
Three figures landed outside Xuantian City, two men and one woman.
They were Ye Chen, Xu Shenglong, and Xiao Rou.
As soon as they entered the city, the three discovered the unusual atmosphere of Xuantian City. Every shop had hung bright red decorations on their signboards, and the entire street was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Ye Chen saw this scene, his expression darkening.
Xiao Rou glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Shitian, as a Qiankun existence in the Dark Domain, entering the Bright Territory so suddenly posed quite a risk. Your affairs, you settle them yourself. I cannot make a move in the Bright Territory."
Ye Chen, hearing this, said indifferently, "The blood-colored spirit snakes in the Bright Territory come in many varieties that aren’t found in the Dark Domain. You might want to try some."
"You!" Xiao Rou glared at Ye Chen resentfully, huffed coldly, then turned and headed to a certain restaurant in the city by herself.
She knew it wouldn’t be long before she had to return to the Dark Domain, so she wanted to enjoy herself outside before going back.
Ye Chen was indifferent, casually asking the owner of a shop, "Boss, why is the atmosphere like this in Xuantian City?"
The shop owner laughed, "This young master must be new to Xuantian City. Didn’t you know? Something happened recently that shook the entire Moon Soul Domain! It’s an event even bigger than the recent sect promotion assembly!
Tomorrow, the holy maiden of the Star Moon Palace, Su Yunyan, will be forming a Daoist couple with the Saint Heir of the Bi Yuan Sect from the Yangzhen Domain, Young Master Situ Feng! Right now, many sect masters and geniuses from various major forces in the Moon Soul Domain who didn’t attend the sect promotion assembly have come to our Xuantian City to attend tomorrow’s wedding!
The disciples of those great sects have been spending generously, taking advantage of this joyous occasion. We people doing business have also made quite a bit over the past few days, and to congratulate the new couple, we’ve also put up some auspicious decorations."
Ye Chen, hearing this, said lightly, "Boss, you might want to take those decorations down."
The shop owner was slightly taken aback, "Young master, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Chen, while walking forward, said, "This wedding won’t happen, but there might be a funeral instead."
The shop owner, hearing this, his face slightly changed, watching Ye Chen’s departing back, inexplicably felt as if he was carrying a corpse mountain and a sea of blood on his back!
Xu Shenglong said, "Brother Ye, shall we head to the Star Moon Palace now?"
Ye Chen shook his head, smiling, "Isn’t the wedding tomorrow? If we go too early, we might ruin everyone’s joy."
Xu Shenglong, however, worriedly said, "Brother Ye, if we go late, won’t Miss Su be in danger?"
Ye Chen’s eyes grew even colder as he said, "Rest assured, when I entered the city, I released my divine soul to investigate. Yunyan is fine."
Su Yunyan once helped him, and he, Ye Chen, would definitely not let Su Yunyan fall into the hands of demons!
...
In the Star Moon Palace, Situ Feng and Elder Mu were sitting in a pavilion, sipping tea.
But at this moment, Elder Mu’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly, and a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
Situ Feng asked, "Elder Mu, what’s wrong?"
Elder Mu was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "It’s nothing. Just now, I seemed to sense a certain dangerous aura... That feeling was exactly like when I was targeted by an ancient behemoth years ago...
However, after I released my divine soul, I couldn’t detect anything."
Situ Feng played with the teacup in his hand, smiling, "It must be just Elder Mu’s imagination. How could there be anything around the Star Moon Palace that could make Elder Mu feel endangered?
However, the spiritual energy here is too thin, which makes me quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, after tomorrow, we’ll be able to return to the Bi Yuan Sect."
Elder Mu nodded, but his gaze flickered slightly, lost in thought.
...
On this day, golden bolts of lightning continuously descended on Xuantian City, and the streets were filled with many imposing martial artists, heading towards the Star Moon Palace.
Only those major forces of the Moon Soul Domain and some renowned experts from the Moon Soul Domain could be received by the Star Moon Palace ahead of time and stay inside the palace. Other people could only attend the ceremony on the wedding day.
Yes, today was the big wedding day of Su Yunyan and Situ Feng becoming a dual cultivation couple!
Inside the grand hall of the Star Moon Palace, draped in red silk, two men sat somewhat nervously in a corner.
The two bore a seven to eight-part resemblance in appearance. The younger one, wearing an embroidered robe and with a thin face, was none other than the son of the Wuji Sect Master, Zhang Changqing, who had been slapped by Jin Shuhui before!
Beside him sat a middle-aged man, naturally Wuji Sect Master Zhang Zhiyang.
Zhang Zhiyang’s entire aura was overwhelming, subtly exuding an intense Dao Integration that slightly distorted the surrounding nomological power — it was the breath of the Qiankun Realm!
Originally, Zhang Zhiyang should have been proud and arrogant, but now, he was constantly pouring himself wine, looking around at the guests with a somber expression!
Usually arrogant, Zhang Changqing, seeing his father like this, could only sit cautiously beside him, not daring to breathe loudly.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhiyang slammed his wine cup, startling Zhang Changqing. Zhang Zhiyang glared at Zhang Changqing, "You wastrel, now that Father has broken through, it’s a perfect chance for Wuji Sect to shine in the Moon Soul Domain. Yet, you, just had to offend this Star Moon Palace?
Now that the Star Moon Palace has gained power, they’re likely to target our Wuji Sect first! It’s bad enough that you can’t excel in martial arts, but don’t you even have a brain? If you weren’t my biological son, I’d have turned you into minced meat long ago!"
Zhang Changqing was trembling in fear, his face full of grievance, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I really do. If I could make amends, I’d even kowtow to Nan Fengyin!"
Zhang Zhiyang snorted coldly, his gaze flickering, "Kneeling? If kneeling worked, I’d have made you kneel long ago! The Star Moon Palace now has the support of the Bi Yuan Sect, and apart from those major sects with certain connections and background in the Yangzhen Domain, I’m afraid no force can shake its position. Our Wuji Sect can only connect with a Ninth-class sect from the Yangzhen Domain, which is a far cry from the Bi Yuan Sect..."
Zhang Changqing, filled with alarm, asked, "What do we do then? Is our Wuji Sect doomed..."
He was used to a life of luxury and couldn’t even imagine what life would be like as a common martial artist.
Zhang Zhiyang sighed, "I’ve brought half of the Wuji Sect’s accumulated wealth this time as a wedding gift for Su Yunyan and Young Master Situ, hoping to win over Young Master Situ."
He sighed deeply, "If we could become a vassal of the Bi Yuan Sect because of this, it would be a blessing in disguise."
He knew very well that to avoid this calamity, the Wuji Sect needed to win favor not with Nan Fengyin, but with Situ Feng!
At this moment, several figures appeared at the door, led by a middle-aged man with an incredibly powerful aura, clad in a golden robe and full of golden hair.
It was Huang Rushan of the Nine Saint Demon Sect!
