Chapter 126

Jiang Xuan and Yao Xi strolled through Shen City.

"Right now, every major Sacred Land Family is searching for you, wanting to uncover your secrets; you might as well be enemies with the whole world."

"Following someone who's enemies with the whole world — aren't you afraid?"

"Fear cannot share life and death with you."

Just at this moment, a streak of flowing light flashed past, and the Zi Fu Saintess's silhouette emerged.

The Zi Fu Saintess right now wore a gloomy, downcast expression, entirely lacking her previous unruffled calm; she looked utterly lost, as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Xuan had long anticipated this, and said: "Everything was originally like this; it is only now that it has manifested."

Yao Xi stepped forward, took the Zi Fu Saintess's arm, and gently embraced her; there were no excessive words, yet it was the warmest comfort.

……

Before truly entering Shen City, Jiang Xuan felt that Shen City was filled with a murderous aura.

Shen City was incomparably vast and magnificent, palaces standing in rows; every major Sacred Land Family had experts stationed in Shen City.

At this moment, whether it was the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tower, or Miaoyu Nunnery, or the Immortal Tower, the entire Shen City resounded with clamorous discussion.

"This Jiang Xuan disappeared for a period of time, and upon reappearing his only act was to suppress and kill the Yaoguang Sacred Land's Candidate Holy Son Li Rui; could it be he isn't afraid of Yaoguang Sacred Land dispatching Emperor Soldiers to settle accounts with him?"

"Arrogant, truly too arrogant; you must know every major Sacred Land Family is eager to obtain the secret of Jiang Xuan's rapid cultivation, Jiang Xuan is right at the center of the storm to silence him, yet he still violated Shen City's rules and suppressed and killed Li Rui; this God King's Wedding will probably be the time of Jiang Xuan's death, hehe, perhaps we Loose Cultivators can also get a share of the spoils."

"You're talking nonsense; what kind of figure is Jiang Xuan — without Emperor Soldiers emerging, who can do anything to him? Taking a step back, the White-Clothed God King personally invited Jiang Xuan for Marriage Certification; how could he just watch idly? You must know the White-Clothed God King is suspected to have taken that step."

Suddenly, all cultivators wore envious expressions and raised their heads to look at the sky.

In between, from beyond the distant horizon came bursts of melodious immortal music, and a dozen or so women arrived gracefully.

These dozen or so women were all dressed in white robes whiter than snow, clear and beautiful, transcendent as fairies riding the waves, immortals descending to the mortal world; they were incomparably light and graceful, arriving elegantly, not partaking of mortal fireworks, transcendent and unworldly.

Some women gently blew jade flutes, the flute sounds plaintive and melodious, like resentment and longing, like weeping and complaining; some women chatted and laughed charmingly, their gazes flowing, ethereal and carefree, not resembling mortal people.

The leading beautiful woman had brilliant literary grace, radiant and dignified; she wore the Lingfei grand ribbon, her hair styled in the Taihua bun, appearing around thirty years old, her natural gifts outstanding, her countenance peerless.

At her side stood a young woman clad in a pale purple palace gown, her head adorned with cloud-patterned flower ornaments, her hair coiled in a simple, elegant wo duo bun, green silk draping over her shoulders, revealing a beautifully lined jade neck and beauty bones; her whole being seemed like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, yet also like crystalline, transparent ice and snow. Her temperament transcended the mundane, not partaking of mortal fireworks, giving a feeling of holiness and distance.

At this moment, heaven and earth were dyed with a dreamlike ethereality; the surrounding palaces and towers were rendered like immortal palaces.

"Yaochi Holy Land has arrived!"

"Heavens, the Yaochi Holy Master Yaochi Holy Mother, the Yaochi Saintess — truly too beautiful; what a pity Yaochi Disciples almost never marry out, and in the long years only once or twice has a Saintess married into another family."

"The White-Clothed God King is truly a model among men; even the Yaochi Holy Master came personally to congratulate."

The arrival of Yaochi Holy Land made countless cultivators in Shen City both envious and awestruck. Yaochi Holy Land arrived breaking through the void with an Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda, further highlighting the importance they attached.

"Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda, Yaochi Holy Land's Extreme Dao Emperor Soldier; legend says the Immortal Tears Green Gold emits a crystal-clear transparent green light all over, with specks of tear stains on it, said to be tears shed by immortals."

"Extreme Dao Emperor Soldiers usually guard the Holy Land, suppressing the foundation; they are not lightly deployed. This green pagoda should be a replica of the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda."

A cultivator with extremely broad knowledge sighed in admiration; although Yaochi Holy Land consists of female cultivators, its foundation is incomparably profound, not inferior to any Huanggu Holy Land Family.

"Good heavens, the Yaochi Saintess is truly too beautiful; if only I could marry the Yaochi Saintess!"

"Legend says the founder of Yaochi Holy Land, the Western Emperor Mother, was an Innate Dao Body; the constitution most suited to the Western Emperor Sutra is precisely the Innate Dao Body; Yaochi Holy Land dreams of obtaining an Innate Dao Body."

"Who says otherwise; what a pity the Innate Dao Body of this generation is the Zi Fu Saintess — one can only say fate plays tricks."

Yaochi Holy Land had just arrived on the front foot.

Zi Fu Holy Land followed closely on the heels.

A scroll painting covered the sky and blocked the sun; within the painting scroll were heaven and earth's myriad things, divine mountains and demon peaks standing in rows, purple qi vast and mighty.

"Zi Fu Mountain and River Diagram!"

"Zi Fu Holy Land's heirloom Holy Soldier, the Zi Fu Mountain and River Diagram — this is Zi Fu Holy Land's true Holy Soldier, not a replica."

The originally purple-qi-filled sky was permeated with a cold, angry aura.

"God King's Wedding — what is the meaning of this from Zi Fu Holy Land? God King's Wedding — why are they putting on such airs?"

"Hehe, you wouldn't know this; my cousin's friend's uncle's son's third brother-in-law is a Zi Fu Disciple; supposedly Jiang Xuan crippled the Zi Fu Saintess, and not only that, Jiang Xuan used some unknown method — a strand of Yin-Yang Divine Curse entangled Zi Xia Fairy, preventing her from continuing cultivation."

The speaker was a middle-aged Loose Cultivator, his face full of pity, who said: "Zi Fu Holy Land exhausted all methods but could not break this technique; the curse exists with the life; their carefully cultivated Saintess was harmed to this state, so Zi Fu Holy Land naturally cannot reconcile, and has come bearing the Holy Soldier, wanting to eliminate Jiang Xuan and be done with it."

The surrounding cultivators wore resentful expressions: "This Jiang Xuan is too hateful; Zi Xia Fairy is beautiful enough to take one's breath away — how could this Demon Head lay such a vicious hand, and moreover sever a person's Dao path? This hatred is irreconcilable."

The middle-aged Loose Cultivator looked around, acting mysterious, and said in a low voice: "Who says otherwise; but Zi Fu Holy Land aren't good people either. Seeing their own Saintess crippled with no hope of recovery, years of investment gone to waste, they thought about whether they could recover some costs — planning to imprison Zi Xia Fairy and extract her Dao Body essence blood for research; some Elders even proposed bestowing Zi Xia Fairy upon some male disciples within the sect, thinking that although offspring born of a Dao Body may not necessarily be Dao Bodies, they should still have some special traits; if they produce enough, eventually some extraordinarily gifted people will appear."

All cultivators were utterly shocked; the most brilliant pearl of the Eastern Wasteland Land was about to fall into becoming a female slave, plummeting from the cloud tops to the valley bottom in an instant — this was too horrifying to hear.

Cultivation crippled, and treated this way by her own sect — Zi Xia Fairy could be said to have experienced the darkest moment of her life.

"However, supposedly just as Zi Fu Holy Land was preparing to act against Zi Xia Fairy, that Zi Xia Fairy suddenly vanished — truly strange."

"Zi Fu Holy Land coming with such aggressive momentum, fully prepared — it seems they are determined to eliminate Jiang Xuan."

Just at this moment, a vast, ethereal sound transmitted from the ninth heaven:

"Jiang Xuan, accompanied by Yao Xi, Zi Xia — for the God King's congratulations!"
