Chapter 441: Five Blessings Immortals Hear the Command
Bullshit!
Before Feng Xianqiu could finish speaking, Li Qingying couldn't help but jump out and say, "How could Seventh Lord possibly fail the Heavenly Tribulation? He has three uncles and seven or eight siblings backing him up—anyone could fail, but Seventh Lord certainly couldn't!"
He is a descendant of the Linghai Dragon Clan; his mother is the little princess of the Linghai Dragon Clan; among his generation he ranks seventh; he entered the genealogy through his mother's clan—no one can deny that.
"You still think the Dragon Clan is matrilineal?" Feng Xianqiu teased, "Following your mother's clan into the genealogy—am I being too realistic, or are you being too naive? Little carp, you've probably been doing too well these years that you've completely forgotten the pain of being backstabbed by the whole clan, right?!"
One sentence directly struck Li Qingying's Mìngmén.
Li Qingying felt a lump in her throat, her chubby cheeks puffed up, and her little face turned red from holding her breath.
I firmly gripped her hand to calm her.
Hui Moqiong came over, put his arm around her shoulders, and led her aside to soothe her.
When I heard Feng Xianqiu say, "Ascend the Dragon Gate, offer nodding incense, undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, and with our heart's blood sacrifice to the ancestors of the Linghai Dragon Clan," I really panicked as well.
In fact, if you connect Feng Xianqiu's words before and after and put them together, you'll realize he likely truly believes he now has victory in hand, so he speaks without reservation, becoming utterly unscrupulous.
Under these circumstances, his words are highly truthful.
His purpose in provoking me like this is simply to make me face reality and submit to him.
As for boarding his pirate ship, what they plan to do with me and my child afterward is as obvious as Sima Zhao's motive—known to everyone.
Thinking this through, I chose not to let him sway morale any longer, and without hesitation I said, "Fine, I'll go back with you to the Feng Clan."
Feng Xianqiu first froze, obviously not expecting my sudden change; when he saw everyone desperately trying to stop me, he relaxed again.
I thought, at this moment, in his eyes we are nothing but ants.
Without Liu Junyan's protection, our morale and cohesion also dissipated.
In his view, I must be utterly disheartened at this moment.
Feng Xianqiu hurried a few steps forward, met me, untied the embroidered ball from his person, grabbed one end of the red silk himself, and handed the other end to me.
I didn't take it, but glanced at Tang Tang and Yu Nian.
Actually, from the very beginning I had no choice; to save Tang Tang and Yu Nian, I had to go with him.
Feng Xianqiu spent so much effort speaking for two reasons: first, to undermine morale; second, to flaunt his victory.
I have to admit, he achieved his goal.
Feng Xianqiu caught my gaze, immediately understood, and waved his hand toward that side.
Tang Tang and Yu Nian were immediately unbound and pushed toward the door of the Dang Pu.
Hu Sanmei and Bái Sōnglán quickly stepped forward to shield the two behind them.
I took the red silk, held it in my hand, and followed Feng Xianqiu step by step toward the five-colored bridal sedan.
The front pole of the five-colored bridal sedan was lowered, the curtain was drawn to one side, and I bent down and slipped inside.
As the curtain was lowered, suona blared, drums beat in unison, and a strange wedding melody carried far away.
I sat properly in the sedan, one hand resting on my slightly bulging belly.
"Little Guy, let's play for big stakes—if we fail, I'll die with you, so your father will have no worries; if we succeed, we'll go find him together, okay?"
At the moment the five-colored bridal sedan was lifted, I composed myself, sat cross-legged, gathered all my true qi, and suddenly shouted in a loud, steady voice: "The Supreme Deity returns to its place, the gods of the four directions hear my command, form the array!"
Taking this step was expected, yet there was no chance of victory.
I was gambling.
I was gambling on Bai Shulan's earlier remark: "The pulse is chaotic, but the inner power is immense."
Obviously, that phrase "inner power is immense" does not refer to my own ability.
This is a high-stakes gamble with no rehearsal.
I am not only gambling on myself, on Little Guy's ability, but also on the tacit understanding between me and my comrades.
When I heard Hui Moqiong call out, "Qingying, guard the Dang Pu," I knew I had succeeded halfway.
Immediately after, a disorderly yet not chaotic footsteps approached, surrounding the five-colored bridal sedan.
The wedding procession was instantly stunned by this show of force, and the sedan jolted.
Soon after, I heard familiar voices sounding one after another.
To the west, behind the sedan, Huang Fan's voice came: "Five Blessings Immortals, Yellow Immortal, hear my command!"
To the east, Bai Shulan's voice rang out: "Five Blessings Immortals, White Immortal, hear my command!"
To the south: "Five Blessings Immortals, Gray Immortal, hear my command!"
To the north: "Five Blessings Immortals, Fox Immortal, hear my command!"
The instant Hu Sanmei took her position, I felt a surge surge in my abdomen, a rush of blood surging up to my throat.
I inwardly shouted, "Not good!"
Although everyone worked in harmony, it seems Little Guy, this Supreme Deity, is too immature to bear this great burden; instead, my maternal body suffered a backlash—not only painful but I also felt like vomiting blood.
I endured the pain, cold sweat covering my body, and I reached out to steady my belly as best I could: "Good child, don't be afraid, don't be afraid—if you can't do it, it's fine; no one will blame you…"
After a brief stunned pause, Feng Xianqiu suddenly let out a cold, staggered laugh.
That display just now probably even bluffed him.
The formation was set up, yet there wasn't even a ripple.
How could he not mock: "It's my fault!"
He said, "It's my fault for overestimating Liu Er's abilities—something that accomplishes nothing but brings disaster—yet it taught you how to form an array. Alas, the venerable Four Great Immortal Families of Wufu Town are so naïve as to place all their hopes on an unborn egg; saying that out loud would make people laugh their teeth out!"
Feng Xianqiu did everything possible to harm others.
After another roll in my belly, Little Guy seemed to understand that someone was scolding him, and suddenly he stopped moving.
Immediately afterward, I felt as if my whole body were filled with power; I thrust my right palm forward against the curtain, and a strong surge of true qi collided with the still-laughing Feng Xianqiu.
The true qi overturned the men lifting the sedan in front, and the sedan crashed hard to the ground.
Feng Xianqiu indeed reacted quickly; a pair of huge black wings suddenly unfolded from behind him, shielding in front of him.
The true qi let out a bang as it struck the black wings, and was instantly scattered.
At this moment, I raised my voice again and shouted: "The supreme deity returns to its position, the four directional deities hear the command, form the array!"
"Five Blessings Immortals, Yellow Immortal, hear the command!"
"Five Blessings Immortals, White Immortal, hear the command!"
"Five Blessings Immortals, Gray Immortal, hear the command!"
"Five Blessings Immortals, Fox Immortal, hear the command!"
This time, the four of them did not hear the command one after another; instead, they spoke in unison!
The majestic, shocking command voice stirred hearts, echoing throughout the skies above Wufu Town.
I only felt as if a powerful force gathered from all directions of Wufu Town toward the bridal sedan, while at the same time another powerful force rose from my abdomen to meet it.
In the process of the two forces colliding and merging, the five-colored bridal sedan shattered into pieces, and the wedding party let out a chorus of wails……
