Chapter 45: The Wrong Wedding
A few days later, the greeting procession of the Gongsun family was huge, and the forces involved in this marriage were also complicated, and a bad one might break out in the early showdown of various forces. Mufeng City has become a place of attention from far and near at this time, and today's marriage between the Gongsun family and the Sky Splitting Sword Sect has officially begun.
I saw a joyful scene in Gongsun Mansion, red lanterns were hung all over the eaves of large and small doors, and servants, attendants and others also changed into new red clothes, and the chief manager of Gongsun Mansion received guests outside the door. Long Xu lurked in an inn not far from Gongsun Mansion, and after he saw the big red sedan chair slowly being carried into the gate of Gongsun Mansion under the protection of a group of murderous men, he took out the mask he had prepared and slowly put it on his face.
Long Xu pretended to be calm and came to the gate of Gongsun Mansion, and looked inside from the door to see that the people and horses of the major forces were gathered in Gongsun's house, and you can get a glimpse of it from these various clothes. When he was about to enter Gongsun's house, an old man with crane hair and a childish face and a fairy style blocked his way, without saying a word, his hands stood in front of his abdomen, and he pushed forward with his right hand glowing with a blue cold light, facing Long Xu's chest.
Long Xu was taken aback, in the eyes of others, the old man just gently pushed him, but maybe only Long Xu himself understood in his heart that the huge power contained in this palm was enough to grind his internal organs into a puddle of blurred flesh and blood, and he hurriedly ran the Xuan True Gong to the extreme, expecting that the Yang Spirit Mark could pull him back from the Ghost Gate Pass again.
The old man's palm looked weak and weak, but in fact, the palm containing a powerful aura was about to touch Long Xu's chest, and when it was about to touch Long Xu's chest, a strange character suddenly appeared on the Yang Spirit mark on his chest, but this character was only visible to the old man in front of him. When the old man saw these characters, he immediately withdrew his instinctive unknown move to kill Long Xu into slag in one fell swoop, but his eyebrows tightened and the corners of his mouth began to tremble, and after half a sound, he let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's just that, it's just that, everything may be providential." ”
Long Xu was really full of flavors in his heart at this time, he was with a bit of a weak mentality, and he was trying to impersonate a monk who had received an invitation from the Gongsun family that he had stunned in the inn before to go to the Gongsun Mansion compound to implement his destruction plan, but he had just entered the door but met a master who had only been seen in his life, and he didn't dare to anger the unpredictable old man in front of him who had just walked around the ghost gate. Long Xu looked at the old man in front of him in a daze, and asked, "Senior, what do you mean by this? We have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, why are we teasing Yu Zai like this?"
The old man widened his Danfeng eyes and said angrily: "Bastard boy, pick up the cheap and sell it, we old guys did everything possible to get it but didn't expect it to be picked up by you, your life is destined to be peaceful, when you feel that you can't control your own destiny or encounter the pressure of irresistible forces, you can bring this thing to the Eagle Castle to find me." As he spoke, he took out a piece of crystal clear white jade from his sleeve and threw it to Long Xu.
Flying Eagle Castle This place Long Xu has heard of, the ruler of the Yuanyang world, the Peacock Dynasty, in order to consolidate its rule, has set up different counties on the major continents of the world. The population is of different sizes, each county has a special garrison and cultivator organization stationed and set up a special crystal source exchange management agency, the highest power in the county is the county lord, each county lord is personally appointed by the ruler of the Mauryan Dynasty and can be hereditary, of course, the candidate who can be the county lord must also be the royal blood of the Mauryan Dynasty or the ancestors have made great contributions to the Mauryan Dynasty.
Yinglong County is one of the many counties on the Yayang Continent, the entire county jurisdiction is nearly 10 million miles wide, this Wolong Mountain Range is a small part of the county, the current county lord Tyrant is the absolute ruler of this Yinglong County, and the place where the Tyrant clan sect is located is the Tyrant City. The descendants of the Tyrant clan are flourishing, and the current monarch Tyrant Qiutian naturally sends his own descendants in order to manage the convenience and maximize the management of the crystal source exchange in the county. Clan relatives and henchmen have set up some forts in various parts of the county, although these forts are not as vast as the city, but the natural area of these forts is not small, even the big forces in Yinglong County do not dare to mess around in these forts, not to mention that the main role of these forts is to bear the Peacock Dynasty's exchange of crystal source of the money village, in these forts, not to mention offending the tyrant clan of Yinglong County, but being detained as a hat to rob the Peacock Dynasty's money is the lightest for life, and now the tyrant clan is set up in a fort near the Wolong Mountain Range, which is what the old man called the Flying Eagle Castle。
The old man said that he could go to the Flying Eagle Castle to find him in the future, Long Xu secretly wondered if the old man had anything to do with the Tyrant Clan, and there must be some reason for it, Long Xu was shocked in his heart, but he felt very inexplicable, and his face also showed a strange look, which was really crying and laughing.
Simply turned around and played with the small jade, Long Xu found that the middle of the jade body was engraved with a red word "violence" and held the jade when his mind was very peaceful, and the sea of divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness also changed from the mania just now to calm, but at this moment Long Xu just wanted to leave the old man's side as soon as possible, because maybe the old man would regret giving him another palm, and Long Xu would definitely die without a place to be buried.
The courtyard of Gongsun Mansion was crowded with people, basically all of them were people from the four forces, I saw the Ji family of Wanjian City and the Ouyang family of Mufeng City sitting on the west side of the hall, and the disciples of the two factions of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate and the Gongsun family were in the east, and in the middle were some loose cultivators, everyone seemed to be shouting in harmony, but except for those scattered cultivators, who also knew that if one was not good, an extremely tragic war might break out here. I saw that the Ji family and the Ouyang family came this time and there were still some fresh faces in their hands, which made the high-level figures of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect and the Gongsun family feel a crisis, could it be that the Ji family and the Ouyang family transferred people from the Zong family?
At this time, Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, was in an extremely heavy mood, he and Gongsun Invincible, the head of the Gongsun family, were in the secret room in the back hall of the Gongsun family, and saw that the cup of strong tea in his hand had been drunk by him, but he threw it tightly in his hand and refused to let go, the wrinkles on Duan Zhenkun's face were already criss-crossed, and at this time, because of the extreme annoyance, it became even more obvious and became a deep scar.
Gongsun Invincible, the head of the Gongsun family who was sitting at the head of him, was also in a cold sweat at this time, he sat on the sandalwood Taishi chair and didn't dare to make the slightest sound, because after all, the current unfavorable situation was caused by him, if it wasn't for him to marry the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, there would be time to ease.
"Master Gongsun, the situation is very unfavorable now, if you and I are not good, you and I may not be able to get out of this gate today, you have also seen it, the Ji family and the Ouyang family have jumped over the wall in a hurry, and even the people of the Zong family have been pulled over, we are afraid that we will be wiped out by surprise, even if we are lucky enough to escape to death, but the task assigned to us by the sect has completely failed, and you also know the rules of the sect, we are also better than dead." Duan Zhenkun finally broke the calm in the room and said to Gongsun Invincible in a heavy tone.
"What the master of the Duan Sect said is that for the sake of today, the only way to do it is to delay the time, and try not to do it, and wait for the sect to send someone to coordinate, after all, the level of the characters fighting for that kind of thing has changed, and we in these people are at best cannon fodder in this competition!"
"I don't think it's too likely that those people will do it, after all, that thing hasn't appeared yet, but I know that it's in the Evil Tiger Tan, and they won't do it easily due to the identity of the orthodox four great families. Duan Zhenkun said lightly, thinking of this, his complexion also improved a little at this time.
At the same time as the two of them were plotting secretly, Sun Wen, the eldest and youngest prince of the Gongsun family, and Duan Rong, the daughter of the Lord of the Split Heaven Gate, also kicked off the marriage ceremony, Duan Rong was wearing a red dress and a Pan Feng golden fork on her head, showing incomparable luxury. Duan Rong slowly walked in front of the hall of the Gongsun family, and suddenly a powerful aura energy fluctuation erupted from the area where the Ji family and the Ouyang family were located, and the pieces of aura energy fluctuations condensed into an invisible qi wall, which abruptly crossed in front of Duan Rong, making Duan Rong unable to take another step at all, making it clear that he didn't want this family affair to go smoothly.
At this time, the disciples of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect and the disciples of the Gongsun family, who were located on the east side of the hall, saw this situation, and they were furious and sacrificed their magic weapons to prepare for a fight with the Ji family and the Ouyang family.
At this time, Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate in the room, and Gongsun Invincible, the head of the Gongsun family, also sensed the imminent battle outside the secret room, so they shouted loudly in the air: "The head of the Ji family and the head of the Ouyang family, don't be impatient, please come in and talk about it." Before the words fell, the two figures drew a fluttering arc in the air, and the two family masters instantly arrived at the secret room of the Gongsun family's main altar.
"Old man Ji, old man Ouyang, what do you want to say, today is my daughter's big day, what do you mean by coming here to make trouble?" Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Gate, said angrily.
"Are you two old horsemen allowed to destroy the marriage between our two families, and we are not allowed to treat others the way we do?" Ouyang Huxiao replied.
"Okay, well, those two of you summoned so many cultivators of the sect to stir up this muddy water, it seems to have broken the rules, right? The sect forces behind our four families are bound to get the legendary treasures of the Evil Tiger Pond, but because the Peacock Dynasty's regulations on the sect are not good, they have to take action directly, so the sect has to form worldly forces around the Evil Tiger Pond, which is why we have Ten Thousand Sword City, Mufeng City, Qingxia City and Sky Splitting Sword Gate, if there are those few families who want to dominate the Evil Tiger Pond, the sect will have to take care of it even if it is at risk of being severely punished. Not to be outdone, Duan Zhenkun, the Lord of the Heaven Splitting Gate, said.
"What's the matter, why do you care? Didn't you do the same to us when my two families got married? Now we are just returning the way of others to others, hum, you don't want to hold this wedding today!" Ouyang Huxiao had already put on a posture of beating whoever he wanted to fight.
"So, you two are deliberately going against each other today?" Duan Zhenkun looked angry, the wrinkles on his old face were wrinkled, and he looked at Ji Xiaotian and Ouyang Huxiao on the other side.
"That's right, I'm not afraid to tell you, if you want to do it, we will accompany you at any time!" Ji Xiaotian was already angry, wasn't it the same when his daughter got married?
"You, you!, okay, come on, let's fight it out here! You are so unreasonable, those people behind the dynasty will not put the responsibility for today's incident on my Heaven Splitting Sword Sect!" Duan Zhenkun had already changed his voice!
Gongsun Invincible, the head of the Gongsun family, was not so excited, that's right, today is a good day for the marriage of the two families of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate and the Gongsun family, isn't this marriage just for that treasure, if there is such a big trouble, not only will it have no effect, but it will also backfire!
"Few, don't be impulsive!" Gongsun Invincible separated the three cockfighting old men, only to see that Ji Xiaotian and Ouyang Huxiao were already filled with spiritual energy, which was the forefront of the formation of aura, and Duan Zhenkun also looked like he was going to fight for his life when he clenched half a fist. Gongsun Invincible secretly thought in his heart for a while, these three old things are all on par with each other, if they really fight, they are afraid that they will lose more than they lose.
"Hmph! Today is also a good day for your son, why do you want to fall on their side now?" Duan Zhenkun didn't expect that this old man Gongsun would suddenly change his face, isn't he also a person who is easy to kill?
"Hehe, it's still the head of the Gongsun family who can see it! You know how powerful we are, and you also know the unsightly things you do, then you can get out of the way!" Ji Xiaotian thought that the old man Gongsun Invincible was afraid of himself, Ji Xiaotian secretly wanted to believe that Gongsun Invincible had also seen the masters transferred from the sect by his two families, if he made a move here, he only needed a signal to fight upside down!
Gongsun Invincible is just holding back this breath now, it's not that he is afraid that he can't beat him, but he thinks that the matter can be solved in another way.
"Get out of the way, coward, I'll marry my daughter to your family in vain!" Duan Zhenkun burst into a loud shout, and a strong light burst out of his body turned into a sharp sword and beckoned to Ji Xiaotian and Ouyang Huxiao, Ji Xiaotian and Ouyang Huxiao had already prepared, but they both jumped up with a cold snort and fought with Duan Zhenkun. Gongsun Invincible didn't follow suit, he had other plans, and the most important thing now was to calm down these three old things!
In the wedding hall, Duan Rong was still standing in place in that dress, the aura energy wall emitted by the Ji family and the Ouyang family was still blocking her from taking a step forward, and Gongsun Wu, the second young master of the Gongsun family, was standing there thinking about the bride, he was just secretly calculating how to get rid of the forces on both sides!
Duan Rong felt all the best in her heart, where was she willing to marry such a person she didn't like, but she had to bow her head to reality to complete such a mission, but now that there was such a situation at her wedding, she wanted to turn around and run away from here, leaving this place that made her sad. But there is Xi Niang by her side, and Xi Niang is a member of the Gongsun family! Xi Niang is now pulling Duan Rong to prevent Duan Rong from moving, and she also has the intention of letting her stand against the aura energy wall, wanting Duan Rong to complete her mission!
Duan Rong only felt that she was like a clown now, in front of so many people, it was not a marriage she wanted, nor a wedding that she could control, she didn't dare to cry or make trouble, she could only stay there quietly and continue to play her puppet role.
The hall is now chaotic on the surface and chaotic inside, and the forces of each family are quietly sacrificing their magic weapons, trying in vain to suppress the other party's energy fluctuations and gain the upper hand. The air is gradually solidifying, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and even those with lower cultivation levels can no longer breathe!
Long Xu saw all this in his eyes, he didn't expect that this wedding was more lively than he imagined, and all the people from all sides had arrived! But Long Xu felt some inexplicable heartache, no matter how Duan Rong was the woman he used to love the most, although now she no longer belonged to him, but Duan Rong still had a place in his heart!
Playing with the little jade pendant that the old man gave him, Long Xu's heart was not a good feeling, the masters here are like clouds, if he still follows his own plan, will it not be successful? But how can he endure this evil breath in his heart, turning his head and looking around at these people, Long Xu was surprised to find that the old man who gave him a palm at the beginning and then gave him a jade pendant is gone! Long Xu's heart is greatly relieved, as long as the old man is not there, it is still quite promising to achieve his goal with the anti-heaven treasure on his body!
