After listening to the Moon God’s words, Zhang Ruochen only felt that he was really no different from a frog in the bottom of a well before.
In the universe, there were surprisingly so many worlds that were as powerful as the Kunlun Realm, yet all of them combined were unable to withstand the Hell Realm’s killings. The Heavenly Court Realm had to be established in order to fight against the Hell Realm.
How powerful was the Hell Realm?
Zhang Ruochen sucked in a breath of cold air, and in his mind, a strange thought surfaced, but then he shook his head and did not continue to think about it, and his eyes once again became deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Inviting Gu Songzi and Wine Crazy Man, Zhang Ruochen did not spend too much effort.
This was because, the two of them had taken the initiative to approach Zhang Ruochen and decided to travel to Peerless Mountain with him.
Gu Songzi said with righteous indignation, “Back then, Shi Qianjie killed my entire family, so it’s time to make him pay some price as well. In the past, I didn’t dare to go to Peakless Mountain, that’s because it’s hard to defeat four hands with two fists, but now, going with you, the Sacred Brightness Crown Prince, I’ll make sure to make a mess of things.”
Wine Crazy Man said, “The Holy Daughter of the Divine Sect, yet she was forced to marry a tree, listed as the face of the Ancestor, all of which was disgraced by Shi Qianjie. Old me, even if I spell out this old life, I won’t let such a thing happen.”
“It’s a long way from Yunwu County Kingdom to Peerless Mountain, if we don’t leave, I’m afraid we’ll be too late.”
Zhang Ruochen sat on top of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot and mobilised his entire body’s Saint Qi, injecting it in, and instantly, nine golden dragons rushed out from the interior of the Dragon Chariot, emitting a dragon roar that shook the clouds.
Gu Songzi and Wine Crazy Man transformed into two light shuttles and rushed into the dragon carriage.
“Ow!”
Immediately after, the nine golden dragons transformed into nine golden lights, pulling the Golden Step Dragon Chariot up into the sky, and in just a few moments, it had already rushed out of the Yunwu County Kingdom’s borders.
The seventh day of the first month.
The saints from all the major powers had almost all reached Peerless Mountain, and today’s joyous banquet could be described as an unprecedented gathering of all the saints.
“Master of Wanxiang City, Xue Wuyi, has come to the banquet.”
“The Zither Sect Patriarch, Mr Mei, has come to offer his congratulations.”
“The Heavenly King of Combat is here, please welcome him to the inner hall.”
……
Both the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect and the Fire Clan had overwhelming energy and were better off with many clans and families, so all the characters who were able to receive the wedding invitations were all giants who were famous throughout the world.
Xue Wuyi and Monk Lidi sat in a similar position, one had a flirtatious nature and the other didn’t touch women’s colours, but the two had an excellent relationship.
Xue Wuyi laughed, “Why don’t we have a bet, today, who will actually arrive first, Zhang Ruochen or Qiu Yu?”
Monk Standing Ground wore a smile on his face as he gently shook his head and said, “No bet.”
Xue Wuyi felt bored with himself and said, “I, Xue Wuyi, hate men who force themselves on women in my life, a woman, should understand her, spoil her, love her, and pity her. Honestly speaking, between Zhang Ruochen and Qiu Yu, I would prefer Zhang Ruochen to hold the beauty.”
“Pity, pity.”Monk Standing Earth said.
Xue Wuyi said, “Indeed it’s a pity, both the Fire Nation and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect are too powerful, even if Emperor Ming was alive, he might not offend both of them for the sake of a woman. I’m afraid that even if Zhang Ruochen came to Peakless Mountain, he would just be helpless.”
Not all of the cultivators who came to the banquet were on Qiu Yu’s side, and there were some who hoped that Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingshi would have a good ending.
In fact, there were many forces that owed Zhang Ruochen a favour and recognised his character.
Only, in front of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect and the Fire Race, they were all too humble and could only sigh secretly.
“I only hope that Zhang Ruochen must not come to the Peakless Mountain, or else I’m afraid that today is going to be a bad day.”
“This is the main altar of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, even when Empress Chi Yao attacked back then, she paid a heavy price.”
“Zhang Ruochen should have held back, to bury his own life for the sake of a woman is just not worth it.”
……
Time passed quickly, and it was already noon.
According to the agreement, at this time, Autumn Rain and the Fire Clan should have come to attend the wedding banquet and then pick up the bride and leave.
However, neither Autumn Rain, nor Zhang Ruochen, surprisingly did not come, and the atmosphere appeared to be incomparably bizarre.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’m afraid that he has been scared off, and today, he doesn’t dare to come to Peakless Mountain at all.”
“Not necessarily, it’s not certain, the army of the Sacred Brightness has already fought with the Fire Nation, I don’t know where, and it’s turning the world upside down.”
Mu Lingshi was wearing a bright red phoenix patterned long coat, outlined with beautiful make-up, her long comb was incomparably neat, and she wore a phoenix crown, sitting motionless on top of the wedding banquet, looking absolutely stunning.
In terms of beauty alone, in the entire Kunlun Realm, one would not be able to find a few women more beautiful than her.
Regardless of what others said, Mu Lingshi was neither sad nor happy, whether Zhang Ruochen came today or not, it was impossible for her to marry Qiu Yu. I’m afraid that today’s wedding would also be her funeral.
Right at this moment, in the southern sky, a crimson fire cloud emerged, surging over in a vast manner. Vaguely, one could see that within the fire cloud, there were the silhouettes of holy beasts, carriages, and ships.
“Look, the Fire Race’s cultivators are coming!”
At this moment, in the Peakless Mountain, countless pairs of cultivators’ eyes were all looking towards the sky above the dome.
“Finally, I can see Lord Autumn Rain’s overwhelming beauty, but it’s a pity that the bride isn’t me, how did that little saintess have such a good life?”
“Legend has it that Duke Autumn Rain is known as the best in the world amongst cultivators of his generation, even Xue Wuyi and Grandmaster Lidi have been overpowered, and one wonders what kind of extraordinary legend he is?”
Until this moment, Mu Lingshi’s fingers, were slightly tightened, her body was gently trembling.
Beside Mu Lingshi, another Holy Maiden of the Devil Cult let out a laugh, “The Zhang Ruochen you’re waiting for, I’m afraid he won’t be coming to Peakless Mountain. Of course, being able to marry Prince Qiu Yu is enough to make all of our sisters envious and jealous.”
Mu Lingshi said, “I don’t need you to care about my affairs.”
“Yeah! You are amazing, but it’s a pity that Zhang Ruochen will have to be reduced to a joke in the Kunlun Realm in the future, everyone knows that he was scared off by Prince Qiu Yu, and that he’s a cowardly wimp like a rat.”
“Actually, Zhang Ruochen still made the right choice, after all, coming is just sending him to his death.”
Mu Lingshi was furious, but it was a pity that she was unable to move her body, otherwise, she would have gone up to her and slapped her hard.
A few moments later, with Qiu Yu as their leader, the Fire Clan’s group of cultivators, ascended the Peakless Mountain, came to the Sacred Wood Peak, and walked into into this white stone plaza where the wedding banquet was set up.
The Sacred Lord of the Wood Family and Yun Zheng personally walked up to greet them.
Yun Zheng smiled from afar and said, “Sage son-in-law, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, why are you only arriving now?”
Qiu Yu was wearing a red coat, his face was white and handsome, he looked incredibly humble and said apologetically, “On the way, I encountered the obstruction of the Sacred Ming Adversary Party, and was delayed for some time, fortunately, I have already cleaned up all of those small thieves, so I shouldn’t have missed the auspicious time, right?”
The entire room was silent.
The cultivators present were all moved.
Not long ago, the Sacred Brightness Adversary Party had only destroyed the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, and their power was unknown. Such a formidable force was easily destroyed by the Fire Nation, and Qiu Yu even claimed that they were just a group of petty thieves.
The strength of the Fire Nation was too powerful, right?
Immediately, there was a chorus of flattering voices.
Mu Lingshi’s heart, however, trembled slightly, and with a swish, her face turned very pale.
The Sacred Lord of the Wood Family and Yun Zheng glanced at each other, both of them letting out a slight sigh of relief and revealing a smile. Since, the Saint Ming Adversary Party had already been exterminated, today’s wedding banquet should be going very smoothly.
Xue Wuyi revealed a smile as he raised his voice and asked, “May I ask Prince Qiu Yu if there is any Zhang Ruochen amongst the group of petty thieves from Sacred Ming?”
Autumn Rain’s gaze, stared towards Xue Wuye and said, “Rather, I haven’t seen Zhang Ruochen.”
“I see, it seems that it really is a group of petty thieves.”Xue Wuye picked up the wine cup on the table and raised it towards Qiu Yu’s direction with a slight smile, then he took a sip.
The atmosphere at the wedding banquet became somewhat awkward.
Yun Zheng let out a laugh and said, “I’m afraid that Zhang Ruochen is simply too afraid to make a move himself, and when he sees the Fire Race’s cultivators, he is directly scared to flee.”
At once, the wedding banquet was filled with laughter, and some people, in order to curry favour with Qiu Yu, followed and chimed in, saying, “That’s right, the Fire Clan is not comparable to the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, and if he lends Zhang Ruochen the guts to do so, he wouldn’t dare to offend the Fire Clan.”
The atmosphere finally became a little better again, and then, the Wood Family Sacred Lord and Yun Zheng led Qiu Yu, along with the cultivators of the Fire Race, towards the top of the wedding banquet.
“Rumble.”
Suddenly, the entire Peerless Mountain, shook slightly.
In the next moment, a loud voice came from the sky, “Sacred Brightness Prince Zhang Ruochen, has come to Mount Peerless to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth.”
Each word was like a thunderous sound that shook the eardrums of the crowd to the point of pain.
At this moment, the sky became somewhat dim.
In the Peakless Mountain, the gazes of all the cultivators were directed towards the direction from which the voice came from, only to see, a three thousand zhang tall Taikoo Giant Spirit Demon Ape standing on the horizon, grasping a battle flag in its hand, looking incomparably fierce and domineering.
The voice just now, was precisely shouted from its mouth.
Beside the devil ape, a dragon carriage pulled by nine golden dragons was travelling on the Copper Furnace Plain, constantly approaching the Peerless Mountain.
At the back of the dragon carriage, four holy beasts, lifting up the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, let out a hiss.
On top of that, all the saints from the Dragon Protector Pavilion and Saint Ming’s old ministry were also following closely behind the golden-stepped dragon carriage, and an incomparably powerful fluctuation of the holy dao was emanating from the bodies of each and every one of them.
“Prince Saint Ming has come to Mount Peerless to sacrifice heaven and earth, people of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, why don’t you open the mountain gate immediately to greet him?”A Saint roared with a very cold voice.
When emperors sacrificed to heaven and earth, they would choose famous mountains.
Eight hundred years ago, Mount Peakless was within the boundaries of the Central Empire of Sacred Ming, and now, it was reasonable for the Imperial Prince of Sacred Ming to come to Mount Peakless to offer sacrifices to the heavens.
On the Sacred Wood Peak of Peakless Mountain, all the cultivators all looked at each other in dismay, Zhang Ruochen actually dared to come to Peakless Mountain to sacrifice the heavens, completely picking on the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect.
At the same time, all of them understood that the Heaven Sacrifice was just an excuse, what Zhang Ruochen really wanted to do, I’m afraid he wanted to come to steal the marriage.
“Wow–“
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron soared up and hovered in mid-air, with one golden ancient text flying out from the Cauldron like a sky full of stars, illuminating this part of the earth and sky.
A tens of miles long Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon flew around the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and roared, “If we don’t open the mountain gate and formation again, today, His Highness the Crown Prince will level the Peakless Mountain.”
