Chapter 431 - Duo Cultivation Ceremony (2)
"He"s not here yet. The Xiao Yao Sect is after all so far away from the White Cloud City. Even with the aid of the teleportation formation, it won"t be easy to get there. Could something have delayed us on the way?"Although this servant of the Lu Family was only in the Innate Realm, with one glance, one could tell that she was an astute individual.
"Accident? In the entire Yuheng Continent, who would dare to delay him? In addition, when I left the sect, he said that he would bring someone unexpected to congratulate me, and I think that he won"t miss out on my good days today! "Mentioning his own master, Lu Xiong, his eyes were filled with reverence. With his arrogant nature, a person that he revered was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Since that"s the case, then there"s no need to worry. There"s still two hours until the Duo Cultivation Ceremony, and there"s still time. Oh right, Young Master, Gold Jade Sect"s Li Mu … After hearing what the Patriarch of the Shen family said yesterday, it seems like he might cause trouble during your Duo Cultivation Ceremony.
Lu Xiong"s servant Lu Di asked worriedly."Humph!" If this fellow didn"t see that he is Master Heir of the Gold Jade Sect, and my Lu Family is a power that belongs to the Gold Jade Sect on the surface, I would have killed him yesterday. There"s no need for precautions, once my master arrives, I want to see what kind of power he can rely on. What a joke! "
I have already told Master that my Carefree Sect will secretly a.s.sist my Lu Family, and once my Lu Family has swallowed all of the larger families like the Shen Family and Situ Family, our ultimate goal will be his Gold Jade Sect. Now that the world has changed greatly, the resources for cultivation will be the most important of all, and other large sects will all secretly open their territories, so my Carefree Sect will not be willing to stay behind! "
Lu Xiong sneered, his eyes filled with strong confidence, causing the servants beside him to feel a chill down their spines. First, they had swallowed the Shen family, then they swallowed the few great cultivation families of the Situ Family, and in the end, they had started a war with the Gold Jade Sect.
"Li Mu, when you left the sect, did you go and see your master?"
Sitting on a chair made of jade in the Shen family plaza, Ruan Qinghong asked Li Mu with her eyes slightly closed."My master? "No, he seems to have gone into seclusion, right? I didn"t go see him, what"s wrong?"
Not knowing why Ruan Qinghong suddenly mentioned about her master, Li Mu asked curiously.
You"re his disciple, so you should go see him more often. As you know, your master only has one disciple like you, and he doesn"t usually go out on sightings when he"s in seclusion, nor does he have any juniors to attend to him. As his only disciple, you should see him more often if you"re free.
Ruan Qinghong opened her eyes as she spoke with a kind expression. When Chi Yun was mentioned, she seemed to take it a bit exceptionally seriously.Li Mu nodded when he heard her. He himself thought that as her disciple, he had only met Chi Yun a few times. Ruan Qinghong"s reminder made him feel a little embarra.s.sed.
"Everyone! Today is the good day for my daughter Cai Qing, and Lu Family"s disciple Lu Xiong to hold the dual cultivation ceremony. It is an honor for all of you to personally come here, so I am here to express my sincere grat.i.tude on behalf of the Shen Family and Lu Family! "
"I, Shen Ling, have been in charge of the Shen family for hundreds of years, and have never done anything bad in the conduct of things. It is all thanks to the many forces here that have helped me, I would like to express my grat.i.tude once again!"
"Alright!" I will stop with the nonsense. Now that the time is near, I announce that the Duo Cultivation Ceremony will now begin! "
Soon after, two groups of people walked out from the inner hall of the Shen family. There were nine on the left side, nine on the right, all the girls on the left, and one male disciple on the right. The two leading the group were the protagonist of the day, Lu Xiong of the Lu Family and Shen family"s Shen Cai Qing.
The two groups of people were dressed in the same red clothes, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, if one were to say who the most beautiful person was, it would be Shen Cai Qing.Shen Cai Qing had obviously purposely dressed up for today. She wore a phoenix coronet and a phoenix robe, matching his originally beautiful face that could already be considered part of the l.u.s.ter of a city, it was enough to make some hot-blooded youths unable to control themselves.
"My fellow dao friends, today is a great day for me, Lu Xiong. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming here to support us.After Lu Xiong walked up the stage, he first greeted the people below the stage. Then, he walked up to an incense table that had long been set up in front of the stage, and held a dual cultivation ceremony in the cultivation world. It was not as complicated as a wedding ceremony in the mortal world, where one only needed to burn incense in front of the incense table, and then the man and woman would sign a blood contract.
The so called Burning Incense Ancestral Sacrifice naturally belonged to the ancestors of both men and women. Because cultivators were heaven defying, stealing the essence between the heaven and earth to increase their strength was actually a heaven-defying path, so very few people in the cultivation world worshipped the heavens and earth.
This so-called blood contract was a type of contract that was used to restrain the conduct of Dao-companions. This sort of contract required both men and women to use the primordial spirit mark to sign, and the agreement was signed by both sides. In cases where the difference in cultivation between the two sides wasn"t too great, this contract would have a binding effect on both sides.
"The ancestral worship begins! First of all, both men and women are invited to pay homage to the ancestral spirit tablets of both sides, in order to repay the debt of grat.i.tude towards the inheritance of the bloodline! "When Shen Cai Qing and Lu Xiong walked to the front of the incense table, the person in charge shouted his order.
When the order was given, almost everyone on scene had their eyes fixed on Lu Xiong and Shen Cai Qing.
"Cai Qing, come together!"
Lu Xiong then made a gesture to invite Shen Cai Qing in, looking extremely graceful, he seemed to be very graceful."Wait, Lu Xiong, I don"t think we can continue with today"s dual rest ceremony! I don"t plan on becoming your pair cultivation partner, because I"ve already decided on a husband for myself, so I can only suspend it. "
Just as everyone was staring at Shen Cai Qing and Lu Xiong, Shen Cai Qing did not make a move, but smiled and said something that made everyone"s face change.
"What"s going on?!"
"That"s right, why does this sound like the young miss of the Shen family is not willing to become Dao companion with young master Lu Family?!""This is going to be a good show!"
When Shen Cai Qing"s words left his mouth, the entire audience started discussing with each other. Some were puzzled, some were rejoicing in the misfortune of others, and some were embarra.s.sed, but those who were suspicious were naturally the people who had good relations with the Lu Family"s Shen family, while those who rejoiced at the misfortune of others, had grudges with the Lu Family"s Shen family. As for the awkward ones, they were undoubtedly their own people from the Shen family and the Lu Family.
"Cai Qing, are you joking with me? Don"t make trouble, there are so many people watching!"
Lu Xiong obviously did not expect Shen Cai Qing to say such words in such a situation, his face immediately flushed red as he sent a sound transmission to Shen Cai Qing."Are you joking? I, Shen Cai Qing, am never joking with people I hate, and you, Lu Xiong, are one of them. Do you still think that I am joking with you? "
The True Essence in Shen Cai Qing"s body moved, causing the phoenix coronet and robe on his body to be shattered into fine powder, and scattered in all directions."You! Shen Cai Qing! I, Lu Xiong, think highly of you so I agreed to marry you into the Shen family.
Seeing Shen Cai Qing ruining his clothes, Lu Xiong knew that it was already difficult for him to make a turn for the worse. His tone was gloomy and his face was filled with anger, while at the same time, a powerful zhen yuan qi of late-stage divine ability silently spread out, forcing the subordinates of the men and women who were closer to him to retreat far away, they couldn"t help but to retreat far away, all of them were furious for a moment and nervous to the extreme."Qing`er!" What are you doing? Don"t mess around! "
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, the Patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Ling, suddenly flew up to the front of Shen Cai Qing and kept shooting meaningful glances at him. As the Patriarch of the Shen family, and also with his cultivation in Tongxuan realm, this was the first time he had seen such a humiliation, and the culprit was his own daughter."Father! Your daughter is extremely grateful that you gave birth to me and raised me, but you disregarded your daughter"s own wishes and made me a dual cultivation partner with Lu Xiong for the sake of the clan. Please forgive my daughter for her rudeness today! "
Shen Cai Qing fearlessly said loudly and confidently in front of his own biological father."You! You unfilial daughter, marriage affairs have always been the order of the parents" matchmaking party! The marriage between you and Lu Xiong was something that I had long ago agreed upon with the Lu Family. As a direct descendant of my Shen family, how can you act willfully and obediently! Stop fooling around or... "Otherwise …"
Shen Ling was enraged by Shen Cai Qing"s words, and even his words became a bit sloppy. Looking at the crowd below, he felt extremely ashamed.
"Father! We are cultivators! The words of a matchmaker could not be compared to the common people in the secular world. The daughter has her own opinions on things, so you should leave, I don"t want to embarra.s.s you anymore! "
Shen Cai Qing spoke to Shen Ling in a low and deep voice with tears in her eyes, he then closed her eyes, and did not even want to look at his father again.
"You … "Sigh!"
Shen Ling clenched his fists tightly, he knew that Shen Cai Qing was somewhat rebellious towards the family"s marriage, but what he did not expect was that his daughter, who always followed what he said, would actually do something so unrighteous at this time, causing him to not know whether to retreat or not, and caused him to be in a dilemma on both sides."Shen Cai Qing! As a disciple of my Shen family, you actually dare to ignore the face of my family and do such a thing. I advise you not to act rashly and continue to hold the Duo Cultivation Ceremony, or else you will be punished according to the clan rules! "
Seeing that Shen Ling could no longer speak, the Great Clan Elder of the Shen family, Shen Jun, suddenly flew up to the stage. Although he was old, his words were not as friendly as Shen Ling"s and he threatened to speak.
"Hahaha, Great Clan Elder, you can say that my Shen family has one hand in front of the entire sky, but let me tell you, I, Shen Cai Qing am also not a sloppy person, you kept saying that it is for the clan, then why didn"t you see me pushing my own granddaughter out? Furthermore, speaking of family benefits, the cultivation partner I chose myself isn"t inferior to Lu Xiong at all. Compared to him, this Lu Xiong is nothing! "Shen Cai Qing snorted with a smile that was not a smile, her tone was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence.
"Ha hha ha, good! I, Lu Xiong, as the Young Master of the Lu Family, have been trained by the Carefree Sect Elder Ren Quan, and before even reaching a hundred years of age, I have already trained my high-rank Earth Realm martial art to the late-stage divine ability level. Although I am not considered a Heaven"s Chosen, I think that being in the Qin Nation is still okay, who do you think you should choose as your dao companion, get him to come out here! "
Lu Xiong was not lightly provoked by Shen Cai Qing"s sonorous and forceful words. This kind of thing was like a naked slap to the face of a man, and it was not even an ordinary slap in the face.Shen Cai Qing let out a cold laugh, then turned his gaze to Li Mu, who was sitting on a jade chair not far away from her stage. Following Shen Cai Qing"s action, everyone present, including Ruan Qinghong, turned their gaze to Li Mu.
