Chapter 3372 - Forced Marriage



Chapter 3372: Forced Marriage

‘I didn’t expect grandfather would invite Junior Uncle Lei along as well…” Lan Ji Nian thought to himself as he furtively looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the Celestial Beast.

The middle-aged man was Lei Zhen Shan, Lan Heng’s last disciple. He was only roughly 1,000 years older than Lan Ji Nian, but he was already a Celestial Emperor. Moreover, he was also the strongest in the Cloud Drizzle Sect after Lan Heng.

“Junior Uncle Lei… My grandfather and the others say that you’ll probably become a titled Celestial Emperor in the future. Are you confident?” Lan Ji Nian asked with a smile, trying to strike up a conversation.

Lei Zhen Shan glanced at Lan Ji Nian before he said, “I’ll definitely obtain a title from the Temple Title in less than 3,000 years.”

“I believe in you, Junior Uncle Lei.” Lan Ji Nian nodded. He did not dare to be respectful toward Lei Zhen Shan. Although his grandfather was stronger than Lei Zhen Shan, in less than 1,000 years, it was likely Lei Zhen Shan would surpass his grandfather. He was not worried about his grandfather and father since they were family, but Lei Zhen Shan was different. If it were not for his grandfather, Lei Zhen Shan did not even deign to look at him.

After taking a deep breath, Lan Ji Nian continued to say, “Junior Uncle Lei, you joined the sect late. Otherwise, my father wouldn’t be able to become the Sect Leader of the Cloud Drizzle Sect…”

Lan Heng had abdicated his position and let his son, Lang Kong Xuan, take over the mantle before Lei Zhen Shan joined the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect and became his disciple. Due to his hasty abdication, many members suspected he had deliberately done that so his son could succeed his position. If he had waited, Lei Zhen Shan would have undoubtedly become the Sect Leader of the Cloud Drizzle Sect.

Although Lan Heng was the strongest in the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect, he could not stop a disciple who was clearly more outsanding than his son from becoming the next Sect Leader of the Cloud Drizzle Sect. Therefore, he could only abdicate ahead of time to prevent Lei Zhen Shan from competing for the position of sect leader with his son.

‘I, Lan Ji Nian will soon have a wife who’s highly talented and comprehended the law of time.’ Meanwhile, Lan Ji Nian’s thoughts had wandered to another topic. He turned to look at the six people behind him who were carrying the betrothal gifts. Although the gifts could be easily stored in Spatial Rings, they chose not to do so since it would look more ostentatious.

Lan Ji Nian snuck a look at Lei Zhen Shan again as he thought to himself, ‘My future wife is more talented than Junior Uncle Lei… She’ll definitely reach a height greater than him.’

Since the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect was located too far from the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect, the group of people from the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect arrived at the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect’s estate in just a few hours.

“The Cloud Drizzle Sect’s Lan Heng has brought my grandson, Lan Ji Nian, to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect to propose marriage!”

The members of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect waited outside the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect’s estate while Lan Heng’s voice resounded through the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect, stirring up a commotion.

“The Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect?”

“Lan Heng? Isn’t he the former Sect Leader of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect? He’s the strongest in their sect, right?”

“He brought his grandson, Lan Ji Nian, to propose a marriage? Isn’t Lan Ji Nian a womanizer? Does anyone in our Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect like such a despicable person?”

“Let’s go have a look!”

“That’s right! I really want to see which of our disciple dares to marry that scum!”

Driven by curiosity, a group of elders and disciples of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect flew toward the estate’s entrance.

“The inevitable has come.” Yu Wen Qing, the Sect Leader of Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect, who was cultivating sighed when she heard Lan Heng’s voice. Despite the urge to ignore him, she knew she had no choice but to meet him.

While Yu Wen Qing made her way to the entrance, an old lady with a dark expression appeared in front of her.

“Junior Aunt.”

The old lady was none other than You Bai Feng, the Grand Elder of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect.

“If Lan Heng insists on annihilating our sect today, make sure to kill his grandson, Lan Ji Nian,” You Bai Feng said resolutely. If her sect was going to be annihilated, she would make sure her enemy paid a price as well.

“Yes, Junior Aunt.” Killing intention shone in Yu Wen Qing’s eyes. An ordinary human would act madly in desperate situations, let alone Celestials with divine abilities.

“The Sect Leader is here!”

“The Grand Elder is here!”

The group of elders and disciples greeted Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng in unison when they appeared at the entrance of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect’s estate. The duo had the highest status in the sect after all.

“Greetings, Former Sect Leader Lan.”

“Greetings, Senior Lan Heng.”

You Bai Feng and Yu Wen Qing greeted Lan Heng. However, their hearts skipped a beat when they saw the middle-aged man standing next to Lan Heng.

“I didn’t expect them to bring Lei Zhen Shan as well.” You Bai Feng’s voice trembled in the message she sent to Yu Wen Qing. Although Lei Zhen Shan had only grown famous recently, his reputation had preceded even Lan Heng, the strongest person in the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect.

A hint of despair flashed in the depths of Yu Wen Qing’s eyes. If Lan Heng were the only present, perhaps, they would have a chance to kill Lan Ji Nian. However, with Lei Zhen Shan present, it would be nigh impossible to do so.

Lan Heng lightly glanced at the duo before he settled his gaze on Yu Wen Qing and said, “You must be the Sect Leader of Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect, right? I’ve sent my man to propose a marriage previously. Summon your disciple, Duan Si Ling, here. We’ve brought the betrothal gifts here; she can follow us back to the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect. She should feel honored that two of the strongest Celestial Emperors from the Cold Drizzle Sect came to escort her…”

Although Lan Heng’s tone was calm, the threats in his tone were unmistakable. His words naturally stirred up a commotion.

“D-Duan Si Ling?”

“Heavens! Miss Si Ling is going to marry Lan Ji Nian? Say it isn’t so!”

“From what I heard, Junior Sister has already rejected the Cold Drizzle Sect’s proposal previously.”

“No wonder our Sect Leader and Grand Elder’s expressions are so dark. It seems like the people from the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect are here to force them to accept the marriage!”

The expressions of the elders and disciples of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect turned hostile as they looked at the people from the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect.

“Senior Lan Heng.” Yu Wen Qing shook her head and sighed. “What a coincidence… My disciple, Duan Si Ling, had committed a huge offense so I expelled her two days ago. I’ve sent my junior sister, Feng Tian Wu, to hunt her down. However, there’s still no news about her… Your grandson…”

Lan Heng interjected angrily, “Yu Wen Qing, do you think I’m a child who will believe your lies?”

The disciples from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect with weaker cultivation bases retreated as Lang Heng’s aura surged.

“Sect Leader Yu,” Lan Ji Nian narrowed his eyes and said, “I came with a sincere heart. I know Junior Sister Si Ling is your beloved disciple. I promise to cherish her if she marries me. I know I had a bad reputation in the past, but I’d change for the better for her…” Despite his words, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his smile contained a hint of disdain.

Lan Ji Nian looked at Yu Wen Qing meaningfully before he continued to say, “Unless you want us to search your estate, it’s best if you summon her here…”

On the contrary, Lan Heng roared impatiently, “Yu Wen Qing! I’ll give you 15 minutes to summon Duan Si Ling here. Otherwise, I will kill a member of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect every one dozen breaths.”

The members of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect were shocked by Lan Heng’s words. They did not expect him to be so unreasonable and domineering as to force Duan Si Ling to marry his grandson.

“Senior Lan Heng,” Yu Wen Qing sighed. “Do you think I’m lying? If so, you can enter our estate and search for my unfilial disciple. If you find her, you can take her with you. I won’t have any objection.”

At this moment, You Bai Heng looked at Lan Ji Nian and said with a contemptuous smile on her face “Young Master Lan, if you want to marry Si Ling, please look for her without involving my sect. My sect no longer has anything to do with Duan Si Ling. She’s no longer a disciple of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect!”
