C1121 The Wedding Day
Ling Jian didn't hesitate at all. He slapped the Cosmos Sack at his waist and took out the Void Skypiercing Battleship.
"Ling Jian, do you really plan to head directly to the Fire County?"
The Dao Verification Mountain Lord knew what Ling Jian was going to do. His face was filled with worry.
In fact, he didn't want Ling Jian to go to the Fire Country at this time.
According to Ling Jian's talent, if Ling Jian was given enough time to grow, he might be able to break through to the Saint Level.
At that time, even if Ling Jian was only at the early stage of the Saint Origin Stage, he would be able to become the protection of the Dao Validation Villa.
However, it would be a different situation if Ling Jian went over there now.
The Duke of Fire was already an expert at the Sacred Spirit Realm. Although Ling Jian was able to kill a peak Saint with one move...
The leader of the Dao Validation Mountain still felt that Ling Jian wasn't a match for the Duke of Fire.
He was a cultivator at the peak stage of the Saint Origin Stage, so he knew better than anyone else how big the difference was between the peak stage of the Saint Origin Stage and the Saint Origin Stage.
"What? What do you want to say to me?"
Ling Jian turned around and looked at the Dao Verification Mountain Lord.
The Dao Confirming Mountain Lord slowly said, "Duke Huo's current strength is extraordinary. Moreover, you will be going to the Fire Country this time. There are still many experts in the Fire Country. At that time, your fate will be certain death."
"You will definitely die?"
Ling Jian shook his head and revealed a smile.
Indeed, if the Heavenly Destruction Sheath hadn't appeared, he naturally wouldn't have dared to go to the Fire Country.
But now, it was different.
It could be said that with the sheath in his hand, Ling Jian had the full power of a Saint Spirit Stage cultivator.
There was probably no one in the entire Fire County who could stop him.
"One week later, the news of the Duke of Fire's death will spread throughout the entire Grand Middle Sky."
Ling Jian spoke indifferently. After saying this, his figure moved and charged into the Void Sky Piercing Battleship.
The surging Spiritual Energy directly poured into the Void Skypiercing Battleship as if it didn't care about its own life. After receiving the infusion of Spiritual Energy, there was a whizzing sound as the Void Skypiercing Battleship flew toward the Fire County at an extremely fast speed.
In the sky above the Dao Validation Villa, the Dao Validation Mountain Lord's eyes suddenly became dull and surprised. He found Ling Jian's words hard to accept.
What did he just hear?
Ling Jian said that the news of Duke Huo's death would spread within a week?
Could it be that Ling Jian really had the ability to kill Sacred Spirit Realm cultivators?
"That's not right. With his strength, there's no way he could kill a cultivator of the Holy Spirit Realm. Could it be that this Ling Jian actually has a trump card to kill a cultivator of the Holy Spirit Realm?"
The Dao Verification Mountain Lord muttered to himself. He couldn't think of where Ling Jian's confidence came from.
After all, the Duke of Flame was a real Saint Spirit Stage cultivator. He really couldn't figure out what kind of powerful trump card could kill a Saint Spirit Stage cultivator.
...
Five days had passed quickly.
The news of the Duke of Huo's wedding quickly spread throughout the prefectural city of the Fire County.
When the day of the wedding arrived, the entire Fire County was filled with red decorations.
Every corner of the Capital, including the streets, was filled with a red festive atmosphere.
Anyone who saw such a scene would feel a sense of joy in their heart.
Under such circumstances, a young and handsome figure appeared outside the capital of the Fire County.
This figure was Ling Jian, who had rushed over from the Dao Validation Villa. After five whole days, Ling Jian had finally arrived on the day of his wedding.
"Hmph, if you want to marry Nalan Yanran, you should at least ask me if I agree." Ling Jian muttered to himself as he looked at the capital in front of him. Without any hesitation, he walked in.
Within the Fire Province Capital.
As the capital of the Fire Province, the city took up a large amount of space.
The entire Fire Country was divided into nine areas of the same size. The Fire Country's Palace was located in the middle of these nine areas.
According to the numbers, it was the fifth place. The County Palace was in this position, so naturally, it meant the Nine-Five Supreme Lord.
At the moment, compared to the red outside the County Palace, the inside of the County Palace was full of red wedding clothes.
Especially in a courtyard in the palace.
The courtyard was quite obvious in the County Palace. Of course, those who lived in the courtyard were all influential figures in the Fire Country.
This noble person was Duke Huo's most beloved son, Huo Yin.
In the history of the kingdom, every king had a group of wives and concubines. They had countless children.
Duke Huo was the lord of a county. Although his cultivation was high, he couldn't be excluded from it.
There were over a thousand consorts in the County City alone.
As for the number of children, there were more than two thousand.
Every Empress would have at least one or two children.
Fire Silver was one of the two thousand children, yet he was able to become the most beloved one of Duke Huo. It was easy to imagine how much effort he had put into it.
One of the reasons was that he was talented. The other reason was that he was smart and scheming.
He must have been through a lot of schemes on his way to the top. In the end, he was able to overcome all obstacles and reach the end.
Of course, besides the Duke of Flame, the Fire Silver was also famous in the entire Grand Middle Sky.
Although Fire Silver was over a hundred years old and couldn't enter the Genius List...
However, when the Fire-Silver wasn't even a hundred years old yet, his ranking on the Prodigy Roll was already very high, reaching the top ten.
Now, he was only a hundred and thirty years old, so he didn't make it into the Prodigy Roll.
But there was no doubt about it. Even though Fire County wasn't the most powerful force in all of Middle Heaven, it was still amazing that he could do something like that.
Now, Fire Silver was a cultivator who had reached the middle stage of the Saint level, and he was someone who could break through to the late stage of the Saint level at any moment.
At this moment, within the Duke's Palace:
A young man wearing a dark red robe was walking toward a side hall in the palace.
This man was also extremely handsome. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. One could tell that he was an extremely powerful genius.
At this moment, as he passed by, all the surrounding cultivators didn't dare to be slow and called him Prince.
That's right. This young man was one of the main characters of the wedding in the Fire Country - the Duke of the Fire Country, Huo Yin.
As he was moving forward, the side hall soon appeared in front of him.
"Duke!"
Two female cultivators outside the side hall bowed to him.
Fire-Silver only nodded his head before pushing open the door and entering the side hall.
Huo Yin had just walked into the side hall when a graceful figure entered his eyes. This lady was none other than Nalan Yanran.
Huo Yin's eyes landed on Nalan Yanran. However, he merely glanced at her before he began to frown.
After which, he turned his head around and saw a long red robe on the bed.
"Yanran, today is our big wedding day. Why aren't you wearing your wedding clothes?"
Huo Yin looked at Nalan Yanran. After which, he suppressed the anger in his heart and softly spoke.
Nalan Yanran merely sat there, appearing as though she did not hear Huo Yin's words. She did not move.
"Yanran?"
Huo Yin cried out once again. However, Nalan Yanran ignored him. Her reaction was exactly the same as before.
This time around, even with Huo Yin's character, he was unable to endure any longer. Ever since Nalan Yanran had walked into this side hall, she had not said a single word. She knew that it was already their wedding day, yet Nalan Yanran was still the same.
"Hmph! Nalan Yanran, your resistance means that you plan to get Ling Jian to come and save you?"
Huo Yin's eyes narrowed at this moment. After which, he opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice.
Nalan Yanran originally did not have any reaction. However, after the words' Ling Jian 'from Huo Yin's mouth sounded, her outskirts began to tremble at this moment. Although her words were soft, this change was clearly captured by Huo Yin.
Immediately, Huo Yin's originally ugly expression became even uglier at this moment.
He was the Duke of Sugarloaf, the future Duke of Fireloaf, but now his wangfei was moved by someone else's name, and was indifferent to him, who was about to become her husband.
"Hmph. It seems like you have been staying in the palace for a while now. You don't know much about the outside world, do you?"
At this time, Huo Yin took a deep breath and asked again.
Nalan Yanran looked at Huo Yin, but she still did not open her mouth to speak.
"A while ago, my father took you away from the Orthodox Dao Villa. After which, he sent someone to the Proving Dao Villa to deal with Ling Jian."
The silver fire continued slowly: "Under normal circumstances, a cultivator cannot stay in the pond for more than half a year. So, if there are no accidents, Ling Jian should have come out by now."
"What are you trying to say?"
Nalan Yanran also stared intently at the fire silver. This was the first time that she had opened her mouth ever since she had entered this mansion.
"I know that Ling Jian's strength is indeed extraordinary. Even the Scion of the Blood God was killed by him. After experiencing the Dao Verification Heavenly Lake, his strength will definitely become even stronger. However, you don't know who my father sent to the Dao Verification Villa this time."
As he said this, there was a smile of amusement on his face, and he stopped.
Nalan Yanran looked at Huo Yin. A moment later, she spat out a word, "Who?"
Hearing this, the corner of Huo Yin's mouth was immediately lifted into an extremely dangerous arc as he said, "The person that my father has sent is Imperial Advisor Zhou."
"What?"
Nalan Yanran's expression suddenly changed when she heard the words' Imperial Advisor Zhou '.
It was actually Imperial Advisor Zhou!
She was naturally very clear what the words' Imperial Advisor Zhou 'meant. He was one of the only two peak Saint Realm Cultivators in the entire Fire Country.
For the sake of killing Ling Jian, Duke Huo had actually sent such a person out?
"Hmph, if Ling Jian really died, then I wouldn't be able to live alone."
Nalan Yanran's eyes coldly looked at Huo Yin. Her eyes contained hatred.
If she did not know that she was no match for Huo Yin, Nalan Yanran might have already attacked earlier.
In the side hall.
After Nalan Yanran's earlier words sounded, the atmosphere within the entire side hall instantly became much colder.
Nalan Yanran's eyes had become incomparably sharp. There was even a determination within them.
Clearly, the words that she had said to Huo Yin earlier were not just an exaggeration.
Huo Yin's expression did not change. However, his heart had also become quite furious. Nalan Yanran had actually thrown herself in for Ling Jian?
"Yanran, you need not be so excited."
Finally, after being silent for a moment, Huo Yin responded to Nalan Yanran's words.
He glanced at Nalan Yanran and said, "I know that you are very worried about Ling Jian's safety. Therefore, when Imperial Adviser Zhou went to Dao Verification Villa, I told him to spare Ling Jian's life."
"Hmph, would you be so kind?"
Nalan Yanran coldly opened her mouth and spoke. Her expression did not improve or become warmer.
"There is naturally a condition for me to do this."
Huo Yin coldly smiled in a playful manner. He glanced at Nalan Yanran and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Imperial Advisor Zhou will return in another two to three days. At that time, Ling Jian's life and death will be in my hands. Today is also my wedding day. If you choose to obediently cooperate, I guarantee that Ling Jian will not have any problems at that time. Otherwise..."
There was a slight pause as he said this.
Nalan Yanran merely looked at him but remained silent.
"If you cooperate well, I will not kill Ling Jian. Otherwise, I will definitely kill Ling Jian."
Suddenly, Huo Yin's face turned solemn, and his eyes were filled with endless killing intent.
Nalan Yanran's expression suddenly changed at this moment. Although she did not know whether this sentence of Huo Yin was true or false, the killing intent that was currently being emitted from Huo Yin's body was extremely real.
She did not doubt that if it really came to that moment, with Huo Yin's character, he would definitely attack and kill Ling Jian. He would not choose to show any mercy.
After all, Huo Yin was able to become the Duke of the Kingdom of Huo because of his two thousand children. He must be extremely vicious.
"Fine. I can choose to cooperate with you."
Nalan Yanran bit her red lips. In the end, she chose to believe in Fire Silver.
The current him had no other choice other than to cooperate and believe in Fire Silver.
Under such a situation, she was also helpless.
"Haha, good, not bad. Nalan Yanran, I knew that you would definitely choose to do this."
At this moment, Huo Yin laughed out loud. He pointed to the red robe beside Nalan Yanran and laughed, "In that case, Yanran, you should properly prepare yourself. The auspicious time is about to arrive. At that time, you will be my consort."
After saying this, Huo Yin turned around and left. Soon, he disappeared from Nalan Yanran's sight.
Nalan Yanran sat by the side of the bed in a stunned manner within the side hall. Two lines of tears flowed down from her eyes.
......
The ladder to Duke Huo's wedding naturally shocked the entire Huo Province.
Now, with the arrival of the wedding day, all the people who had some status in the cities of the Fire County were rushing to the Fire County.
At the same time, some of the more powerful figures in the Middle Sky were all rushing over.
Although they were here to celebrate the wedding of the Fire Silver, most of them came because of the Duke of Fire.
After all, the Duke of Flame's cultivation had reached the Sacred Spirit Realm, and he was now the twenty-first strongest existence on the Sky Ranking.
Although she was the last on the Sky Ranking List, she was still a powerful cultivator in the Sacred Spirit Realm.
Furthermore, the Duke of Fire had only just broken through. Who could be sure that the Duke of Fire wouldn't become even stronger in the future?
Therefore, although this was a young man's wedding, many big figures from the older generation were present.
For example, the Yin Huan Sect, the Lightning Sea Sect, the Corpse Sect, and other forces had peak Saint-level cultivators present to show how important this wedding was.
At this moment, all the experts of the older generation had appeared outside the city.
On the plaza outside the city, a large stage had been built.
Because of today's special situation, the stage was red.
There were tables and chairs on the stage, and the tables were filled with precious food, Spiritual Fruits, and wine.
Even some ingredients that were rarely seen had appeared on the dining table today.
The cultivators who came from all over the world were led to their seats by their servants.
The stronger cultivators were sitting closer to the center.
Those who were weaker and had no background could only sit on the edge.
Of course, it was a great honor for most of the cultivators to sit on the edge.
After all, even though the Fire Country wasn't the strongest power in the world, it was strong enough for most of the forces in the world, and the Duke of Fire and Silver's wedding wasn't something ordinary people could attend.
At the moment, there were several figures sitting on a table near the center of the stage.
Each of these figures radiated an extremely powerful aura. All of them had reached the peak of the Saint level.
The identities of these people were also recognized by many cultivators.
For example, Goddess Yin Huan from the Yin Huan Sect.
For example, Old Lightning Sea Servant from the Lightning Sea Sect.
The corpse nerves of the Corpse Puppet Sect and company all sat on Liu.
"That's Goddess Yin Huan from the Yin Huan Sect? I've heard that, although she's the head of the Yin Huan Sect, she's a very holy person. Now that I look at her, she really lives up to her name. No wonder she's the only one in the Yin Huan Sect who can be called a fairy."
"I didn't expect that even the old servant of the Lightning Sea Sect would come. I heard that she has been in seclusion for a long time. I didn't expect that she would choose to come out of seclusion for this wedding."
"Who does the old servant of the Lightning Sea Clan think she is? You see, the corpse nerve of the Corpse Puppet Sect. It's said that he's already refined his body into a body that's as hard as a King Kong's corpse. Unless it's a Sacred Spirit Realm expert, it won't be broken."
...
The surrounding cultivators all spoke after seeing the people on the table.
Every time they said a person's name, they would be a big figure in the Middle Sky.
These great figures would rarely show up in this place under normal circumstances. They wouldn't even come to the Duke of Huo Country in person.
However, not only did they come, they all came. Obviously, they didn't come for the Fire Silver.
At this moment, as these powerful cultivators sat in their seats and did not say anything, suddenly, all of them were shocked and looked in one direction.
That was the northwestern part of the Fire County.
"They're here..."
A cultivator spoke as he looked towards the northwest of the County City.
And then, the other cultivators around them felt it too. They all turned their heads and saw that in the sky above a county town, there were two or three shining carriages slowly making their way out of the county town.
Of the three carriages, two of them were pulled by a late stage divine beast, the Dark Serpent Dragon. The Dark Serpent Dragon's cultivation was different, but the last one was pulled by a phoenix.
In front of the phoenix carriage, a huge phoenix flapped its wings and slowly followed the two carriages.
At this moment, the three carriages came one after another.
Even though the three latecomers who had pulled the cart were all extremely powerful and their auras were extremely violent, at this moment, everyone's attention was not on them.
They all looked at the people who were standing in the middle of the three carriages.
The reason why all the cultivators were paying attention to them was not only because there was only one person in each of the three carriages.
It was because each of the three people was in an extraordinary position.
The person at the very front was the King of the Fire Country, Duke Huo.
A while ago, Duke Huo had broken through to the Sacred Spirit Realm, and he shocked the entire Grand Middle Sky.
Now that the Duke of Fire was an expert at the Sacred Spirit Realm and the Duke of Fire, even if he wasn't the Duke of Fire, the attention he received would increase. Furthermore, he was the Duke of Fire, so the attention he received wouldn't decrease.
After all, there were only twenty-one Sacred Spirit Realm experts in the entire Grand Middle Sky.
Duke Huo was ranked last on the Sky Ranking List, but even so, he was still quite extraordinary.
Especially since he was a Sacred Spirit. This time, the Duke of Huo had come in person. There was no need to talk about how shocking it would be.1
In the second carriage, there was the Duke of Huo, Huo Yin.
At the moment, although Huo Yin was standing in the middle of the carriage and looked very young, he had a strong and obscure aura of a king.
It was easy to imagine that even though Fire-Silver wasn't that strong at the moment, when he became the Duke of Fire, he would still rule the world and become another expert in the Middle Sky.
However, even though the future was promising, at this moment, Fire Silver received the least attention.
Most of the cultivators looked at Duke Huo, then casually glanced at the Fire Silver. Finally, they looked at the third carriage.
On the phoenix carriage, there was a woman in a red robe with a phoenix crown on her head.
On her pure white face, there was a touch of coldness, giving people a soul-stirring beauty.
"This person should be Nalan Yanran, right?"
"No wonder Duke Huo wanted her to become a consort. It turns out that other than her talent, Nalan Yanran is also a drop dead gorgeous beauty!"
"Her talent is great and she is also beautiful. Such a woman can be considered the best in the world."
"Heh, who would have known that such a delicate girl would be the first cultivator in the history of our Zhongtian to have passed the Nine Heavenly Thunder?"
"That's right. This Nalan Yanran can definitely be considered a true dark horse. Although her talent was once great, her ranking was lower than the Blood God. Although the Blood God was killed by Ling Jian during the Dao Confirming Meeting, Nalan Yanran did not display any ability to crush everything at that time, right?"
