Chapter 550
Subsequently, the Sword Saint Senior Dugu Jian, who had long been absent from the mortal world, together with Senior Dugu Qiubai of the Qinglong Society,
stormed the Houtianxia Society!
In the end, Tianshan, where the Houtianxia Society was based, was sliced completely flat by Xiao Aoshi.
Gang Leader Xiongba vanished without a trace, and the Purple-Clad Boss behind the scenes also disappeared.
For a time, the Houtianxia Society, which had once dominated Yunzhou, had vanished into thin air.
Lu Wushuang City, gaining the prestige of Senior Dugu Jian, instead grew ever stronger.
Ever since Miss Ming Yue ascended onto the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, the City Lord of Lu Wushuang had directly sent out lavish invitations.
Inviting the Gedamen Sect of the Yunzhou Wu Lin to come attend the wedding of Senior Dugu Ming and Miss Ming Yue.
For the sake of Senior Dugu Jian's reputation, the Gemenge Sect of the Yunzhou Wu Lin gathered at Lu Wushuang City.
Although the world already knew that this City Lord of Lu Wushuang was a fake.
They also all knew that the real City Lord of Lu Wushuang, Senior Dugu Yifang, had already been revived by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.
But since the real Senior Dugu Yifang did not appear, this City Lord of Lu Wushuang, relying on Senior Dugu Jian's prestige, still had no one who dared refuse.
On this day, at the City Lord's residence of Lu Wushuang City, after seeing Senior Dugu Yifang exposed.
Senior Dugu Ming felt deeply puzzled and went straight to the City Lord,
"Since you are only a substitute, then am I truly the son of Senior Dugu Yifang, or your son?"
The City Lord's face was utterly calm as he said lightly,
"Ming'er, look at the introduction on the Heavenly Dao Golden List."
"The real City Lord, my lord, has long since entered the River of Rebirth and been resurrected."
"Then after all these years, he has never shown himself — who do you think your father is?"
Senior Dugu Ming thought it over, but still could not sort out the key point within.
"Enough! This is not important!"
The City Lord continued,
"The most pressing matter now is to obtain the 'Mount Qingcheng Love'!"
"Something praised by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List — do you think there's any need to hesitate over this absolute art?"
"Whether it is the real City Lord or I, we both hope you can inherit the unfinished wish of Lu Wushuang City's forebears and obtain this absolute art!"
Senior Dugu Ming cared most about this absolute art; hearing the City Lord speak thus, his heart stirred,
"Since that is so, why wait for any wedding banquet."
"Better that I go to the Ming family now and have them hand over Mount Qingcheng Love, Miss Ming Yue, and the Lu Wushuang Sword!"
"That works too!"
The City Lord deliberated for a moment and felt there was no harm in it.
In any case, his own intentions had already been exposed by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List.
If this Mount Qingcheng Love did not enter the City Lord's residence soon, it would indeed be somewhat improper.
Having gained the City Lord's approval, Senior Dugu Ming took the experts of Lu Wushuang City and headed straight for the Ming family.
Although the Ming family was in Lu Wushuang City and had always been allied by marriage with the City Lord's residence,
precisely because of this, the Ming family had always been deeply feared by the Senior Dugu family.
The previous generation's Senior Dugu family inheritor, Senior Dugu Jian, married someone from You Dongying; Senior Dugu Yifang also did not marry a Ming family person.
As a result, over these years, the Ming family appeared to stand on equal footing with the Senior Dugu family on the surface.
In reality, they were suppressed at every turn.
Nowadays, the entire household, old and young, lived in a remote corner.
Having gained the City Lord's approval, Senior Dugu Ming led a large contingent to arrive outside the Ming family.
After announcing his name to the Ming family people, he barged straight into the Ming family's main hall.
The current Ming family head, Ming Jing, could only come forward to receive him with an apologetic smile.
After making clear that Senior Dugu Ming had come on the City Lord's orders to take Miss Ming Yue back,
Ming Jing deliberated for a moment and said,
"Miss Ming Yue is Grandmother's granddaughter; since birth she has indeed been prepared to be married into the City Lord's residence."
"Now that Young Master Senior Dugu is willing to take her in marriage, naturally nothing could be better."
"It's just that this great matter of marriage is one of the most important events of a life."
"Before Miss Ming Yue is married off, she ought to remain at the Ming family, awaiting the completion of the wedding."
Hearing this, Senior Dugu Ming said directly,
"Your Ming family's place is too small; if I were to come here to fetch Miss Ming Yue, it would truly lose some face for the City Lord's residence."
"Now that Lu Wushuang City is already the hegemon of Yunzhou, my wedding naturally cannot be so hasty."
"The City Lord has already decided to hand the City Lord's residence's side manor over to the Ming family to stay in temporarily."
"Grandmother, just have the Ming family pack up together and move into the side manor!"
Although the Ming family sounds grand in name, the place they actually live in cannot even compare to the City Lord's residence's side manor.
369 The Great Dragon Leader wants to take another's beloved?
With Senior Dugu Ming like this, Ming Jing no longer had any reason to refuse.
He immediately had the Ming family pack up and move into the City Lord's side manor.
A few days later, the Gedamen Sect of the Yunzhou Wu Lin gathered at Lu Wushuang City.
With the wedding of Senior Dugu Ming and Miss Ming Yue about to be held, Seeing Nie Feng also at this moment finally arrived at Lu Wushuang City.
Hearing that the wedding was already about to begin, Seeing Nie Feng was somewhat at a loss.
The Qinglong Society's mission can only succeed; it cannot fail.
Seeing Nie Feng steeled himself and headed toward the Chengzhufu Sect.
By this time, most of the wedding rites had long been completed, and Senior Dugu Ming was beaming with pride.
Leading Miss Ming Yue, whose head was covered with a red bridal veil, he walked along the red carpet, preparing to perform the final three bows of ceremony.
In the great hall of the Chengzhufu Sect, countless prominent figures of the Wu Lin in Yunzhou were all watching this side.
City Lord Lu Wushuang was all the more beaming with smiles, as if happier than if he himself were getting married.
Just as the two stepped forward, about to perform the mutual bow.
The master of ceremonies of the Chengzhufu Sect suddenly called out in a loud voice,
"Seeing Nie Feng of the Qinglong Society arrives to offer congratulations!"
The Wu Lin figures of Yunzhou heard this and stirred in unison.
After the Zitianxia Society dispersed, the reason Wushuang City could rise so swiftly.
One was the renowned prestige of Sword Saint Senior Dugu Jian.
The second was that Senior Dugu Jian had joined the Qinglong Society!
Most of the Wu Lin figures present had also come to attend this wedding because of the Qinglong Society's reputation.
Yet for so many days, no one from the Qinglong Society had ever shown themselves.
The Wu Lin figures of Yunzhou had even wondered whether it was because City Lord Wushuang was not truly a city lord, so the Qinglong Society was not giving face.
Now that Seeing Nie Feng had arrived, these people naturally paid extra attention.
City Lord Wushuang, upon hearing of Seeing Nie Feng's arrival, also wore a strange expression.
He immediately had Senior Dugu Ming and Miss Ming Yue pause the wedding, and personally led Wushuang City's top experts to go welcome Seeing Nie Feng.
Upon reaching the gate of the Chengzhufu Sect and seeing Seeing Nie Feng with empty hands,
The city lord could not help but raise an eyebrow, yet still suppressed his temper and stepped forward to bow in greeting,
"So it is the former Hall Master of the Divine Wind Hall. May I ask what position Hero Nie now holds in the Qinglong Society?"
Seeing Nie Feng had once been the Hall Master of the Divine Wind Hall of the Weitianxia Society, and was also a prominent figure in the Wu Lin of Yunzhou.
It was just that the city lord saw that the visitor bore no good intent, so he deliberately spoke thus.
"The Qinglong Society is truly filled with strong experts. Seeing Nie Feng is ashamed—presently I am only an ordinary member."
Seeing Nie Feng was kind-hearted and detected the thorn in the city lord's words.
Yet he had come this time to take Miss Ming Yue away, and already felt guilty toward Wushuang City, so he did not bother to argue with the city lord.
"The Qinglong Society truly has experts as numerous as clouds—even a hero of Hero Nie's caliber can only be a member…"
The city lord sighed in admiration, then invited Seeing Nie Feng into the main hall to observe the ceremony.
