Chapter 490: I Do Not Agree
As he thought, Zhuge An suddenly sat down on the ground, opened his big mouth, and actually began to wail! Given his status and his cultivation, even if he encountered the most difficult of matters, he would absolutely never be like this! But thinking back on his past over these years, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was an unqualified Sect Master! An unqualified father!
Zhang Nuo, with Bai Xiu leading the way, arrived at Qingnian Demon Mountain, the head of the former Five Great Demon Mountains; this was the place where Ma Huaidong, the master of Zuo Mutang, resided!
Ever since the Demon Emperor and the leaders of the Five Great Demon Mountains went to the Immortal Illusion Continent, only a very small number of disciples remained on all the Demon Mountains. Just over a hundred years ago, Ma Huaidong suddenly appeared here, subdued all five great mountains in one fell swoop, and even took many surrounding forces under his command!
He formed a sect called Yanyue! Ever since the Yanyue Sect was established, its influence expanded continuously, and in the end, the Four Great Sects on the Tianjiang Plain did not escape either! The Corpse Refining Sect and the Wuji Sect had long since been taken over by Gu Yu and Han Liang, but their cultivation levels had only reached about the Golden Core Middle Stage, and they simply had no strength to contend with Ma Huaidong! In the end, they became a subordinate branch of the Yanyue Sect!
As for Zhuo Zhiyan of the Beixuan Sect, she would rather die than surrender, and in the end, she was personally wiped out by Ma Huaidong! Zhuo Zhiyan ultimately perished on this Tianjiang Plain along with the Beixuan Sect!
Flying along the way and listening to everything Bai Xiu said, an unknown rage rose in Zhang Nuo's heart! Is a mere guy at the Nascent Soul Late Stage this overbearing? It seems that when there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys can call themselves kings!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhang Nuo increased his flight speed and rushed toward the direction of Qingnian Demon Mountain! With his speed, he arrived at the mountain gate of the Demon Mountain in just half a day! At this moment, the entrance to the Demon Mountain was decorated with lanterns and streamers, a festive scene, and at the same time, an endless stream of cultivators was coming in and out!
After Zhang Nuo and Bai Xiu landed, they also concealed their cultivation to about the Golden Core Stage and strode into Qingnian Demon Mountain with Bai Xiu!
"Hey! You two, what are you doing? Today is the Sect Master's big day, did you come empty-handed?"
A cultivator in his thirties with a black mole on his face blocked Zhang Nuo and Bai Xiu! Looking at that expression, he was arrogant and domineering, even more overbearing than a mangy dog!
Bai Xiu looked at Zhang Nuo worriedly, fearing that he would make a move here! Zhang Nuo did not pay him any mind; he simply flipped one hand, took out a small bag of Spirit Stones, threw it to the cultivator, and said indifferently:
"From the Nanxuan Sect!"
Having said that, Zhang Nuo took a step and walked toward the main peak of Qingnian Demon Mountain! The cultivator opened it to take a look, and inside were unexpectedly more than ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones! He curled his lips slightly and muttered with some displeasure:
"Tch! Is the Nanxuan Sect only bleeding this little? Seriously!"
Although Zhang Nuo heard his words, he did not pay attention to them; he was just a small fry! Even if he beat him, what would be the use?
Walking on the mountain road, the passing cultivators did not notice Zhang Nuo at all. Once they walked into the main hall of the Yanyue Sect, Zhang Nuo and Bai Xiu found a corner and sat down!
At this time, in the main hall, there were still people busy arranging all the affairs of the wedding. With his brows tightly locked, Zhang Nuo did not make a sound and just watched quietly!
After about an hour, a cultivator wearing a bright red robe walked in. This person had a thin and long build, his two sword-like eyebrows were almost standing straight up, and his pair of eyes, shooting out thievish light, were full of triumphant smiles!
"Senior Brother, he is Ma Huaidong!"
Bai Xiu whispered in Zhang Nuo's ear. Because of previous reasons, Bai Xiu had not yet adapted to Zhang Nuo's form of address!
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhang Nuo glanced at Ma Huaidong and let out a cold snort! At this moment, many people stood up and kept offering congratulations to Ma Huaidong!
Just as Zhang Nuo's gaze swept toward Ma Huaidong, two familiar figures appeared in his eyes. He saw a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, his expression solemn, find a seat in the front row and sit down! Not a trace of joy could be seen on his face! It was exactly Han Liang!
And the other person was in a black robe, his whole body almost completely covered by the black robe, but from the aura emanating from him, Zhang Nuo guessed his origin! Gu Yu!
These two old acquaintances from the past were now working as someone else's subordinates, and it looked like they were extremely unwilling! However, under Ma Huaidong's coercion and inducements, they could only survive by the skin of their teeth!
"Oh my! I didn't expect that for this Sect Master's wedding, all you fellow Daoists would come! And you even went to such expense! I really feel bad about it!"
Ma Huaidong was being polite, but there was not the slightest look of feeling bad on his face. He looked up to check the time, and his brows suddenly wrinkled!
"Why hasn't Zhuge An come yet? The ceremony is about to begin!"
His tone carried a hint of anger; he didn't put his father-in-law in his eyes at all!
"Perhaps Old Sect Master Zhuge had something urgent come up, so he was delayed!"
On the side, a disciple of the Nanxuan Sect explained!
"What could be more important than marrying off a daughter! Don't wait for him! Let the ceremony begin!"
Turning his body, Ma Huaidong walked to the front of the main hall, where a huge 'Joy' character was erected high! Two red candles were burning brightly!
The master of ceremonies presiding over the ritual saw this and dared not defy his wishes, so he had to clear his throat and say loudly:
"The wedding ceremony between the Yanyue Sect Master and Zhuge Qing of the Nanxuan Sect now begins! Now, please have the bride enter the hall!"
The high-pitched voice traveled far away, and the crowd in the main hall suddenly quieted down. At the same time, from the entrance of the main hall, supported by two maids, Zhuge Qing walked in slowly! Zhang Nuo's eyes widened sharply, and looking at Zhuge Qing, who was wearing a bright red palace gown, his heart couldn't help but tighten! At this moment, there was no expression at all on Zhuge Qing's face; her two jade hands rested lightly on the wrists of the maids on either side, her lotus steps moved slightly, and she walked toward Ma Huaidong bit by bit! She still had that same beautiful face, only with a few more traces of vicissitudes, and in her chaotic eyes, there was no longer the wit of the past! Is this still the Zhuge Qing who once roamed the Tianjiang? Zhang Nuo couldn't quite believe it! From her eyes, Zhang Nuo could not see a trace of joy!
Han Liang sat quietly on his chair, watching Zhuge Qing walk in, but his face was deathly pale! He didn't know what he was thinking, only seeing his pair of fists clenched until they turned slightly blue!
The ceremony was proceeding step by step. When Zhuge Qing looked up and did not find her father, her pretty face changed slightly!
"Hehe! Today is the Sect Master's big wedding! As the master of ceremonies, if there is any lack of hospitality, I ask all fellow Daoists to forgive me! If everyone has no objections, then let us formally bow to heaven and earth!"
"To bow to heaven and earth with Zhuge Qing, no one has asked me yet? I do not agree!"
This sound was no less than a thunderbolt from a clear sky! It instantly shrouded the festive main hall in a layer of gloom! Who was so bold as to be so presumptuous in Ma Huaidong's Yanyue Sect!
*Swish! * Everyone's gaze gathered at the place where the sound came from, and some cultivators even wanted to rush over immediately!
Zhang Nuo slowly stood up, a layer of anger hanging on his face, and walked through the crowd to the center of the main hall! The moment Han Liang saw Zhang Nuo, his white hair almost stood on end! He wasn't afraid, but excited! Ever since the people on the Tianjiang Plain returned from the Immortal Illusion Continent, they had been talking about Zhang Nuo's affairs! It had made his ears grow calluses!
He didn't expect that on an occasion like today, Zhang Nuo would actually appear! Sweeping his Divine Sense toward Zhang Nuo, he found that his cultivation was only about the Golden Core Middle Stage. His heart skipped a beat, but then Han Liang understood immediately; this was a cultivation concealment technique Zhang Nuo used on purpose. It seemed that Ma Huaidong was going to be unlucky today!
It wasn't just Han Liang who was shocked; Gu Yu, sitting beside him, also stood up abruptly. Under the black robe, a pair of gloomy eyes bloomed with a look of astonishment!
The rest of the people who knew Zhang Nuo also exclaimed one after another. This cultivator, who had become famous in the Tianjiang hundreds of years ago, had appeared again; what would happen now?
When Zhuge Qing's dim, beautiful eyes saw Zhang Nuo, she almost couldn't believe it. After blinking a few times, her face first showed joy, but then she fell into sorrow again!
This was the man she had once used all her schemes to try to obtain! But in the blink of an eye, over a hundred years had passed, and everything had changed! Now that he had appeared, what exactly did he want to do?
Want to snatch her away from Ma Huaidong's side? But back then, it was clearly he himself who said that he had no connection with her or the Nanxuan Sect anymore!
Her heart was in a mess, and Zhuge Qing's mind wandered! However, she didn't hold much hope in her heart; she knew Zhang Nuo's character very well! He was someone who would pay back every slight, and the Nanxuan Laozu had treated him that way. Even if he had already killed the Laozu, this cause and effect could not change Zhang Nuo's view of the Nanxuan Sect!
Listening to the discussions of the people in the main hall, Ma Huaidong also knew that this person was Zhang Nuo! Looking at the green-robed cultivator in front of him, he finally couldn't hold back anymore!
"Zhang Nuo! What do you mean by this? Today is the day of my wedding. If you want to sit down and have a cup of wedding wine, I welcome you with open arms! If you want to come and find trouble, I, Ma Huaidong, am not someone to be trifled with!"
When he discovered that Zhang Nuo's cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, he already had murderous intent in his heart, but then he thought again: given Zhang Nuo's previous reputation on the Tianjiang Plain, his cultivation couldn't possibly be only this much, so he had to suppress his anger again and again!
"What kind of thing is Ma Huaidong? Zhuge Qing was my woman in the past! Although we have already separated, if she wants to marry someone else, I naturally cannot interfere, but it also depends on whether she is willing!"
Zhang Nuo looked at Ma Huaidong with a cold sneer, not putting him in his eyes at all! Let alone that he had now entered the Spirit Severing Stage, even if he were still at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he would still not be afraid!
"And what kind of thing are you! How dare you curse my master!"
Before Ma Huaidong could even act! A white-robed man of about forty years old stood out from the crowd, glaring at Zhang Nuo!
