Chapter 551

All along the way, members of the Wu Lin who saw Nie Feng arrive all stepped forward to greet him first.

Nie Feng was a gentleman of impeccable courtesy, and immediately returned each greeting in kind.

Arriving at the main hall and seeing Dugu Ming in his wedding robes alongside Ming Yue, Nie Feng could not help a stir in his heart and cast an extra glance at Ming Yue.

Was this woman, who had made it onto the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, the target of his current mission?

Only, how did the Grand Longshou know that he and Ming Yue were fated, and that he could comprehend the "Mount Qingcheng Romance"?

Dugu Ming, seeing Nie Feng keep staring at his Weiguo Sect bride, could not help feeling displeased.

Although the City Lord had never answered outright whether he was the City Lord's son, or Dugu Yifang's son.

But he considered himself the Young City Lord of Wushuang City, and Dugu Jian was his own elder uncle.

Judging by his Qinglong Society connections, he was absolutely no lower than Nie Feng, a mere member.

He immediately blocked Nie Feng's line of sight and questioned him directly,

"Nie Feng, have you come to attend the ceremony? Or do you have some other purpose?"

The Wu Lin figures in the hall all noticed that Nie Feng's expression was strange.

Seeing Dugu Ming challenge him outright, they all settled in to watch the show.

On one side, a full member of the Qinglong Society; on the other, someone with marriage ties to the Qinglong Society.

This was a rare chance to see the Qinglong Society made a laughingstock of.

"I…"

Nie Feng was pure and good-hearted; how could he possibly say, in front of so many people, that he had come to take Ming Yue as his bride?

"Benefactor Nie Feng! Today is City Lord Dugu's great day. If you've come to attend the ceremony, then step aside!"

At this moment a great Monk strode out — he was Yunzhou Shaolin master Seeing Nie Feng.

Because of his good relations with Wushuang City, and because he could no longer return to Shaolin Temple, he had long served as a guest elder of Wushuang City.

At this point he saw that Nie Feng's intentions were ill, and before Nie Feng could state his purpose, he meant to force Nie Feng to one side.

"City Lord, Master, my deepest apologies."

Nie Feng sighed; the Qinglong Society mission could not be left unfinished, so he could only cup his fist in apology,

"I have come on orders to escort Miss Ming Yue back to Qinglong Summit."

He was thin-skinned, and still did not dare say that it was Ximen Wudi who had ordered him to wed Ming Yue.

"What?"

The entire hall erupted in an uproar.

"This Nie Feng isn't here on behalf of the Qinglong Society to offer congratulations?"

"What does 'escort Ming Yue back to Qinglong Summit' mean?"

"You still don't get it? You're really stupid!"

"Ever since the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking was revealed, haven't most of the beauties been taken up to Qinglong Summit?"

"What does that mean?"

"When Lu Linxuan was revealed before, didn't the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking give a hint?"

"The Grand Longshou seems to have a hobby in this area — whether it's May Li Canghai or the other Longshou, they all seem to deliberately cater to this hobby of his!"

Hearing Nie Feng say this, the Wu Lin figures throughout the hall broke into animated discussion.

If Ximen Wudi were here, he would surely cry out that he was being wronged.

After all, all along it had been Li Canghai and the other Longshou stuffing beauties on him.

When had he ever asked for beauties!

Ming Yue, hearing Nie Feng say this, also misunderstood at once.

She had been a little nervous, but now she was relieved.

Compared to Dugu Ming, the forbidden Ximen Wudi of the Nine Provinces was clearly the better choice!

"Outrageous…"

Dugu Ming was so angry now his lungs were about to burst — he was in the middle of his wedding.

And someone dared, right in front of him, to take away his own bride?

"Nie Feng, you must not speak nonsense!"

"My uncle is an honored guest of the Qinglong Society, deeply valued by the Grand Longshou."

"How could the Grand Longshou commit such an act as stealing another's beloved…"

If it truly were the Grand Longshou Ximen Wudi who wanted Ming Yue, Wushuang City could not resist.

Dugu Ming, however wronged he felt, could only swallow it.

But now Dugu Jian had not even sent word, so Dugu Ming felt there was something false about it,

"Could it be that you, boy, have taken a fancy to Ming Yue's beauty, and also covet that 'Mount Qingcheng Romance'?"

"And so borrowed the Grand Longshou's name to come to my Wushuang City and take her by force and fraud."

In an instant, Dugu Ming worked out an excuse and pinned a label on Nie Feng.

Seeing Nie Feng immediately chimed in as well,

"Quite right! Benefactor, you must not, for the sake of beauty and this sword art, lose your true nature."

"The name of the Qinglong Society's Grand Longshou is not one to be invoked lightly."

Nie Feng, hearing that his own vague words had made everyone misunderstand, could not help feeling a little anxious.

370 — Don't hurt my junior brother Feng!

"Nie Feng, the people of my Ming family will only guard Wushuang City, generation after generation."

"Ming Yue will only marry the son of the Wushuang City Lord!"

"Then just give up that notion of yours!"

At this moment, Ming Jing, who had stayed silent all along, also stepped forward.

The Ming family had sworn since their distant ancestors that generation after generation would protect Wushuang City.

Over the years, the two families had intermarried countless times.

Now, based solely on Nie Feng's one-sided word, how could Ming Jing be willing to hand over Ming Yue?

"If you know what's good for you, you may stay and have a cup of thin wine."

"If you don't know what's good for you, then get out of Wushuang City right now."

As he spoke, Ming Jing even drew a greatsword directly from his back and planted it on the ground with a thud.

Nie Feng's face turned bitter; not only had he tarnished the Grand Dragon Leader's reputation, it seemed he was also about to fall out with Wushuang City.

"It's like this! Everyone, don't misunderstand."

"I truly am acting under the Grand Dragon Leader's orders, to—to marry Miss Ming Yue!"

If he had said this from the very beginning, perhaps the people of Wushuang City might have believed him somewhat.

But because Nie Feng had hesitated, saying it now instead gave the feeling of borrowing a tiger's skin to make a banner.

"Bullshit!"

Dugu Ming could hold back no longer and fiercely unleashed the Dragon-Subduing Divine Leg!

The Dragon-Subduing Divine Leg was a supreme art self-created by an ancestor of Wushuang City after observing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Transforming palm technique into leg technique, when executed it was not only overwhelmingly fierce, but also swift as thunder.

At this moment Dugu Ming struck out full of hatred, going straight for a killing move.

Dragon Battles in the Wild!

Dragon Appears in the Field!

Or Leaps in the Abyss!

The three great killing moves were unleashed in an instant, directly enveloping Nie Feng within them.

Nie Feng was now both regretful and helpless.

No matter what, the Qinglong Society mission could not fail.

But he had spoken out of turn first, and he also did not wish to hurt Dugu Ming.

Even as the three great killing moves arrived, he only prepared to use the Wind God Leg to neutralize them.

But the moment Dugu Ming made his move, Senior Dugu, who had always been on friendly terms with him, also immediately struck.

Nie Feng was in fact quite famous within the Wu Lin of Yunzhou.

He had once campaigned across the Wu Lin for the Weitianxia Society; who knew how many had died beneath his Wind God Leg.
