Chapter 430 - Duo Cultivation Ceremony (1)
"Greetings, Patriarch!"Seeing the hunchbacked old man that suddenly appeared in the hall, everyone in the hall bowed and greeted him. Even Situ Jie and Situ Yuan did the same, they were extremely respectful to the old man named Situ Xuanxiao.
"Exempt!" All of you can leave now. I have something that I want to discuss with Fellow Daoist Iceheart in private. "
Situ Xuanxiao"s voice was not loud, it was more in line with his age. He waved his hand towards the disciples from the Situ Family, signalling them to leave, and Situ Yuan respectfully nodded his head, signalling to Bing Xin, who sat on the throne above the hall, before leading the rest of the Situ Family members out of the conference hall."All of you can leave now. Without my order, no one is to come in. Remember, stay alert!"
After the people from the Situ Family left, Bing Xin ordered the twenty odd disciples of the Heartless Palace s to leave. A short while later, only Bing Xin and Situ Xuanxiao remained in the great hall."Fellow cultivator Bing Xin, you are so anxious for this old man to appear, and even this old man"s two juniors are not enough for you to use. Looks like there"s something important that needs to be done, speak up, and see what exactly it is that caused your Heartless Palace to waste so much effort to come to White Cloud City."
Situ Xuanxiao found a seat and sat down, then looked at Bing Xin and asked.
Bing Xin and Situ Xuanxiao seemed to have known each other for many years. She spoke without hiding anything, and said straightforwardly, "Old Demon Situ, you have guessed right this time. I want you to help me attack your White Cloud City"s Shen family tomorrow, I want to take a person with me!""Shen family? That is also the reason why my Situ Family has not had a falling out with his Shen Family. After all, you should know that an old fellow like us who is half buried in the ground, if we go all out, it would be enough to destroy half of White Cloud City, let alone a mere main house! Whether we win or lose, both sides will suffer. "
Mentioning the Shen family, Situ Xuanxiao"s face became ugly, as though he was afraid of the he was talking about.
I don"t want your Situ Family and his Shen Family to engage in an all-out war. I only want you to help me delay Shen Bi tomorrow, and the person I want is not a disciple of the Shen Family. As long as you help me stop her, she won"t risk her life on you.
A sinister smile appeared on Bing Xin"s cold face. It was as if everything was under her control.
"If it was just to help you block her, then naturally there wouldn"t be a problem, but what makes me curious is, who exactly is your target? You said that he isn"t a member of the Shen family, then why are you so confident that that the old Shen Bi would make a move? "From what I know, she hasn"t revealed herself in over a hundred years. Unless it"s a life and death situation for her Shen family, she definitely won"t do anything!" Situ Xuanxiao asked suspiciously.
My target is a disciple of the Gold Jade Sect, and unfortunately, he is also one of the Gold Jade Sect"s Master Heir s. You also know, if something happens to the Gold Jade Sect"s Master Heir in the Shen Family, then the good days of the Shen Family will be over, so tomorrow, Shen Bi will definitely take action. With our strength, as long as you can hold her off, we will definitely be able to win.Bing Xin sneered.
"Gold Jade Sect of the Gold Jade Sect? Bing Xin, are you trying to harm my Situ Family? My Situ Family is also a part of the Qin Nation, although I have long since belonged to your Heartless Palace, on the surface I am still a part of the Gold Jade Sect. Once I make my move, the Gold Jade Sect will definitely cause trouble for my Situ Family.
Situ Xuanxiao said with a dark expression, clearly disagreeing with Bing Xin"s decision.
Don"t worry, I know where your predicament lies, my Heartless Palace has specially prepared a batch of precious Frozen Sand Mask, you should be clear of the usage of this Frozen Sand Mask, it can completely isolate a person"s aura, and even the zhen yuan qi can be changed, no one will be able to recognize you, even if a person dies, the mask will detonate along with the death of the person, I can guarantee that his Gold Jade Sect will not find any traces of it!
Bing Xin waved her hand and a few dozen ice cold Forged Masks appeared in her hands. She threw the masks over to Situ Xuanxiao, her eyes filled with confidence.
Receiving the ice mask that was tossed over by the Heart of Ice, Situ Xuanxiao first examined it carefully, then nodded with a serious expression …The next day, all the gazes of the entire White Cloud City were gathered on the Shen family in the northern part of the White Cloud City, and there were continuously foreign experts rushing to the Shen Mansion. Their goal was naturally to attend the marriage ceremony between the Shen family and the Lu Family, but the fact was that the dual cultivation ceremony for the younger generation in the Divine Arts realm did not really attract too much attention, because in the vast cultivation world, such things happened more often, and the reason for it was only because of the families that the two of them represented.
One by one, the servants and maids of the Shen family were all dressed in red, and in the plaza that was thousands of metres wide, a gigantic stage was already set up, with a red carpet on top of it, giving off a festive atmosphere.On the table were spirit fruits, spirit wine, and spirit food, which were already filled to the brim with many people. Most of these people"s cultivations were existences above the sacred art realm, and there were a number of people with late-stage divine ability amongst them, there were even a few people seated at the front of the stairs. All of these people were famous people in the Qin Nation, and all of them were elders of a region"s power, or even clan master level existences.
It"s really impressive, the people from the Shen family really care about face, it"s just a direct descendant marriage, but they actually made it so big. See, that"s the vice sect master of the Luo Xing Sect, I think his name is Chen Hai, I"ve seen him before and have even been to my Gold Jade Sect.
Li Mu and Xiao Kuan sat at a jade table not far from each other on the stage. Because of Li Mu"s special ident.i.ty in the Gold Jade Sect, the seats were placed at the front, and the sequence of these seats were also very particular. The higher one"s status was, the closer they sat to the front of the stage.
"Aren"t you talking nonsense? Families as big as the Shen family and the Lu Family, do you know how many powers there are in the Qin Nation? Can"t you show off a bit more by doing things that show off the strength of the Shen family?! But I don"t know why I keep feeling uneasy. "
His right eyelid had been twitching since early morning, and he felt a little uneasy.
"Sigh!" You don"t have to be afraid, you don"t have to be afraid, in Qin Nation, who dares to offend my Gold Jade Sect, and this Lu Family and Shen family are both forces of my Gold Jade Sect, so even if he had some guts, he would still offend you, Master Heir! "
Xiao Kuan did not seem to mind Li Mu"s worries at all, if it was elsewhere, perhaps he would not have such confidence, but in this Qin Nation, there was not a single force that would dare to make a move against a direct disciple of the Gold Jade Sect. If something like this truly happened, then it would mean that they were looking for death, because everyone knew that Gold Jade Sect"s Sect Master Li Chengfeng had always been a protector of children."That"s true, but I still... Sigh, let"s not talk about it anymore. Perhaps, when I think about what I have to do later, I feel a little guilty! "
Li Mu shook his head, blaming it on the things he had to do later, and the truth was that this was the first time he had done such a thing, if not for the fact that he had ten drops of True Essence Water in his storage ring, he would not have done such a thing, but then again, Shen Cai Qing"s relationship with him was not shallow, furthermore, he had already paid them in advance, ten drops of True Essence Water.
Initially, according to Shen Cai Qing"s intentions, he still wanted to give Li Mu a hundred thousand crystal as compensation, but Li Mu did not accept it. After all, Shen Cai Qing had experienced life and death together with him before.
"Alright!" Look who it is. Since they are here, you shouldn"t be worried, right? "As Xiao Kuan spoke, he pointed to the entrance of the Shen Mansion with an ecstatic expression. Looking over, Li Mu"s heart was also moved, he saw that Ruan Qinghong from the Gold Jade Sect was leading four to five core disciples from the Gold Jade Sect, and under the lead of the Shen Family"s Patriarch, Shen Ling, was heading towards the direction of Li Mu and the rest.
"Elder Ruan!" She came too! That"s right, she is Cai Qing"s master, she should even be present at such an occasion.
Li Mu laughed as he patted Xiao Kuan"s shoulders, and then walked towards Ruan Qinghong and the others."Disciple Li Mu! Disciple Xiao Kuan greets the clan elder! "
and Xiao Kuan made a huge bow in front of Ruan Qinghong. Ruan Qinghong and Xiao Kuan were very familiar with each other, and were famous for being good people in the Gold Jade Sect. They had good moods and gentle personalities, and were one of the masters that many female disciples in the Gold Jade Sect yearned for."The two of you actually arrived a long time ago. That"s right, you two have a close relationship with Cai Qing, that"s within reason!"
When Ruan Qinghong saw that Li Mu and Xiao Kuan were not surprised at all, she glanced at Li Mu with a smile that was not a smile, revealing a profound meaning behind it, causing Li Mu to feel guilty. He did not know what would happen to if he knew that he was going to cause a ruckus here.
Under Shen Ling"s lead, Li Mu and a few other Gold Jade Sect Disciple followed him and quickly found a seat close to the stage."Elder Ruan, I have a lot of things to do today, so I can"t accompany you personally. Please forgive me!"
After Ruan Qinghong took her seat, Shen Ling said to Ruan Qinghong apologetically."Dao Friend Shen is too courteous. Today is Cai Qing"s good day, you have a lot of things to do, so go and busy yourself with what you need to do. Don"t mind me." Ruan Qinghong replied with a gentle smile.
Shen Ling smiled and nodded his head upon hearing this, then nodded at Li Mu, and quickly returned to the main entrance of the Shen Mansion. Today, all of the cultivators that came to the Shen Mansion were all famous people, and although his Shen family was not small, he could not delay too much in welcoming guests.
"Young master, quite a few people have come today. Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted and obtained Miss Shen!"In the rear hall of the Shen Mansion, a young servant of the Lu Family said to Lu Xiong, who was seated in front of him, with a face full of smiles.
"Humph!" Shen Cai Qing, she is just a plaything in my hands, what I want is not just a small Shen Cai Qing, I want the entire Shen family! His Shen family"s backer, Shen Bi, was running out of lifespan, and his Shen family"s younger generation only had one Shen Cai Qing, so he was still pa.s.sable. On the other hand, our Lu Family has been thriving these past few years, and the hidden strength is more than twice that of his Shen family! Hehe, the entire Shen family will sooner or later be mine! ""Oh right, my master said that he will bring a few of his sect"s disciples to help me strengthen my situation. Are they here yet?"
Lu Xiong who was seated on a chair was sipping a cup of spirit tea as he asked with a sneer.
