Chapter 469: The Day of the Grand Wedding
"Pavilion Master, please rest assured! I will certainly do my utmost to search!"
Liu Qingshan said with a solemn expression! That Zhang Nuo could entrust this matter to him was enough to show his trust in him!
"Besides this matter, what is the second thing the Pavilion Master mentioned?"
Zhang Nuo had previously mentioned two things; now that the first thing he sought was already so laborious, the second one was likely no easier!
"As for this second matter, it is also to find an object! Elder Liu, do you still remember when we first met?"
"First met?"
Repeating Zhang Nuo's words with a pensive look, Liu Qingshan fell into deep thought, but he soon recalled the events from those years at the Mist Sea!
"Could it be that the Pavilion Master is referring to the time you and Su Xianzi first saw this old man?"
"Correct! Since you remember, you must surely recall the pirates we encountered that time?"
Zhang Nuo spoke as if he were enticing Liu Qingshan to recall the past!
"Yes! It was also that very time that allowed this old man to witness the Pavilion Master's divine abilities!"
Nodding slightly, Liu Qingshan still did not understand why Zhang Nuo had brought this matter up again!
"At that time, was the Magic Treasure used by that pirate leader a hammer-shaped one?"
"That's right! Could it be that there is something strange about that hammer?"
Finally catching a clue from Zhang Nuo's words, Liu Qingshan said suddenly, yet he still could not figure out why Zhang Nuo wanted that hammer, which had looked completely unremarkable!
"Elder Liu, please mobilize the strength of the Pavilion and find the whereabouts of that pirate leader! Especially the hammer Magic Treasure he used! This item is extremely important to me! Therefore, there must be no mistakes!"
Zhang Nuo did not explain the matter clearly, and there were several reasons for this! He trusted Liu Qingshan as a person, but Liu Qingshan would have to hand this matter over to his subordinates to handle. If he revealed that the hammer was the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer' from the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set, it would inevitably lead to loose lips, and if word leaked out, things would be much harder to handle!
"Pavilion Master, rest assured! As long as you give me enough time, this old man will certainly get it done!"
Patting his chest and giving his word, Liu Qingshan agreed wholeheartedly! After Zhang Nuo left, Liu Qingshan gave instructions for these two matters!
However, the most urgent matter at hand was Zhang Nuo's grand wedding! Rather than calling it a grand wedding celebration, it would be better to call it the Giant Spirit Pavilion establishing its prestige! After the battle to seize the Hongjun Immortal Mountain, who on the Xianhuan Continent did not know Zhang Nuo's name? Even the two main figures of that event, Hai Wuqing's reputation, had to pale in comparison to Zhang Nuo's!
For this grand wedding celebration, Liu Qingshan could be said to have racked his brains. The first thing he had to do was set the date! The Pavilion Master's grand wedding could not be handled rashly; it had to be a lucky and auspicious day!
After finding several master-level figures in divination, it was finally decided that Zhang Nuo's grand wedding would be held in March of the following year. Once the date was set, the next task was to send out wedding invitations far and wide!
One by one, the wedding invitations were sent by the disciples of the Pavilion to the major sects across the Xianhuan Continent!
After finishing this, Liu Qingshan began to arrange the Yulong Immortal Mountain; this was a truly massive project! For such a large immortal mountain, even if one had a year, let alone ten or eight years, it might not be completed! Therefore, Liu Qingshan only grandly decorated the grounds for welcoming guests and the main venue for the wedding!
Watching everyone in the Pavilion busy running around to organize his grand wedding, Zhang Nuo also felt a sense of joy in his heart! Taking two beautiful wives at once—even with his cultivation at such a high level, he could not fully control this feeling!
The Giant Spirit Pavilion was preparing for the grand wedding with great intensity, while far away on the Chen Jie Xian Shan, Su Mucheng was so happy his mouth could not close! Truly, one may plant flowers with intent, but they do not bloom, while one may plant a willow by chance, and it grows into shade! How many people had wanted to use beauty to win over Zhang Nuo back then, but in the end, his own daughter had become Zhang Nuo's wife!
It must be said that this time, Su Mucheng had caught a golden son-in-law!
Giving away a daughter had to be done in a grand fashion, so the Su Family had spent a fortune this time. Not only did they take out several of their own treasures as a dowry for their beloved daughter, but even several highly prestigious elders of the family would attend in person! In this way, the Su Family could be said to have stolen the spotlight!
Looking at Ye Yuemiao's side, it was cold and desolate. The Ye Family had long since lost its influence on the Xianhuan Continent, and especially with Ye Bufan dead, there was no one left who would take a Ye Yuemiao seriously!
However, Zhang Nuo was thoughtful; he had Ye Yuemiao acknowledge Hai Wuqing as her sworn brother, and in this way, no one dared to look down on Ye Yuemiao anymore!
As for Hai Wuqing, he was eager to get closer to Zhang Nuo! How could he let such a great opportunity pass? After agreeing wholeheartedly, Hai Wuqing also spent a fortune! He took the good things he had obtained from the Hongjun Immortal Mountain and brought out many as a dowry for his sworn sister!
One was an array-specialist family, and the other was the largest alliance on the Xianhuan Continent. These two major powers combined were definitely not to be underestimated, and with the addition of Zhang Nuo, a fellow famous throughout the Immortal Illusion, this wedding celebration was simply a grand show-off!
As for the other sects and factions, who didn't want to use this opportunity to build a relationship with Zhang Nuo? Thus, the gifts they prepared were all top-tier items!
A year's time is insignificant to a cultivator! In the blink of an eye, the day of Zhang Nuo's grand wedding arrived!
On this day, the entire Yulong Immortal Mountain was decorated with lanterns and streamers, the atmosphere of celebration was thick, and waves of cultivator groups rushed toward the immortal mountain!
For the sake of safety, Su Mubai only lifted the Restrictions in areas related to the wedding, while adding several more layers of Restrictions to other areas! Although no one among the visitors dared to easily target the Giant Spirit Pavilion, one must always be on guard! Su Mubai doing this was also to ensure the safety of the Yulong Immortal Mountain!
At the mountain gate, Liu Qingshan, dressed in a set of gorgeous clothes, welcomed the cultivators from various sects!
"The Mo Tie Alliance! Alliance Leader Hai has arrived!"
Following a loud shout from a disciple, Hai Wuqing slowly walked over with his subordinates!
"Alliance Leader Hai's personal arrival truly makes Yulong shine! My hospitality has been lacking, please forgive me!"
"Haha! Elder Liu, why be so polite? Since I am marrying off my little sister to Fellow Daoist Zhang, we are now one family! Why talk about hospitality? Men! Bring up my little sister's dowry!"
Hai Wuqing knew Liu Qingshan better than anyone. Although his cultivation was not high, he could be said to be the person in charge within the entire Giant Spirit Pavilion! Sometimes, Zhang Nuo would consult him first on matters both large and small! He naturally dared not be lacking in superficial courtesy! Following Hai Wuqing's words, his subordinates brought up many items!
Ye Yuemiao's dowry opened the eyes of many cultivators behind them. What is a wealthy family? This is what a true wealthy person is! The dowry alone required over a hundred people to carry it! It formed a long dragon, slowly heading toward the interior of the Yulong Immortal Mountain!
After exchanging a few more polite words with Hai Wuqing and letting him in, Liu Qingshan had just let out a breath when he heard a disciple shout:
"The Sea Clan! Senior Baijiaowang has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan's expression changed once again. Those arriving this time were all prominent figures on the Xianhuan Continent, and he dared not neglect any of them. With a smile on his face, he went to welcome them again!
"Haha! Dragon King, you have traveled far, it is truly my lack of manners that I did not go out to welcome you!..."
Just like that, Liu Qingshan stood in front of the mountain gate for almost an entire day without moving! Everything he said was polite social chatter for welcoming and sending off guests!
Meanwhile, inside the Yulong Hall, there was not a single empty seat. Zhang Nuo was wearing a bright red robe, his face smiling like a flower! He kept cupping his hands in return!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! Do you still recognize this old man?"
An old man walked up to Zhang Nuo and said with a faint smile.
"Of course I recognize you! Fellow Daoist Sui! Haha! I wonder if that girl Xue'er has come?"
Zhang Nuo looked up at the speaker; it was Sui Huayuan of the Great Sui Empire. This person had also obtained an immortal mountain on the Xianhuan Continent, and although its ranking was a bit lower, it was still quite good! He knew that Li Xue had had some interactions with Zhang Nuo back then, so he had come specifically to get on good terms with Zhang Nuo!
Hearing Zhang Nuo mention Li Xue, Sui Huayuan chuckled.
"Don't mention it, as soon as that girl Xue'er heard you were getting married today, she insisted on coming, but some minor matters recently arose on the immortal mountain, so she couldn't make it!"
Zhang Nuo gave a light "Oh," and just as he was about to exchange a few more polite words, a loud, aged laugh suddenly rang out. This laughter had no intention of concealment, and everyone's gaze turned toward it in unison!
The person who arrived was an old man, not young in age, with a glowing face and looking very pleased with himself! It was none other than Su Mucheng! Today, he was the biggest protagonist!
Seeing his father-in-law arrive, Zhang Nuo hurriedly stepped forward a few paces and performed a deep bow!
"I did not know my father-in-law was coming! I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you..."
"Forget it! We cultivators do not have so many tedious formalities!"
Zhang Nuo and Su Mucheng are on par in terms of cultivation; normally, they should address each other as fellow Daoists, but since Zhang Nuo took his daughter, he has no choice but to lower his seniority!
Su Mucheng looked around at his surroundings, a look of pride appearing on his face! Now, the most capable cultivator on the Immortal Illusion Continent is my son-in-law; let's see who dares to harbor designs on my Su Family in the future!
At this moment, Su Mubai walked over from the side and said:
"Please everyone, take your seats! The wedding is about to begin!"
Swish—the rowdy great hall instantly fell silent! They had long heard that Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao were both beauties who could topple cities; many people had never seen them with their own eyes! Taking advantage of this opportunity, they were determined to catch a glimpse!
As the master of ceremonies for this wedding, Yang Huzi was not dressed as casually as before! He had even specially groomed his beard, and on the surface, he looked quite imposing!
Following a high-pitched, clear whistle, Zhang Nuo's wedding ceremony officially began!
