The Gongsun Clan was located in the eastern part of the Ming Nation.
The Gongsun Clan occupied half of the city and had several grand palaces. There were thousands of members in the clan.
On this day, the huge Gongsun Clan was packed with people. It was especially lively because today was the wedding of the Gongsun Clan's Clan Leader, Gongsun Bo's youngest daughter, Gongsun Yue.
The marriage of the daughter of an overlord naturally caused quite a commotion in this area. Even the famous clans in the vicinity brought expensive gifts to congratulate her.
Of course, most of them took the opportunity to curry favor with the Gongsun Clan. Even though many of the guests were from powerful clans, they paled in comparison to the Gongsun Clan.
The Gongsun Clan's son-in-law, Gao Shu, was not only an Asura cultivator, but also an outstanding disciple of the Limitless Court, the overlord of the Ming Nation.
The disciples of the Limitless Court were not simple existences in the Ming Nation. They were people that countless people and clans wanted to get close to.
Many of the disciples of the Limitless Court even married the outstanding women of various clans and established a huge harem. Even though they were just ordinary disciples in the Limitless Court, they had countless luxurious palaces in the Ming Nation and many wives and concubines. They lived like emperors.
Even so, many clans were willing to give their children to the disciples of the Limitless Court just to have such a backer.
Now that the Gongsun Clan had such a backer, it naturally attracted the envy of countless clans. Therefore, the Gongsun Clan was very lively. Everyone was talking about the son-in-law.
However, compared to the joyous atmosphere in the Gongsun Clan's huge mansion, the atmosphere in one of the embroidery rooms was very cold.
Inside the embroidery room, a young woman dressed in a red wedding dress sat in front of a mirror. She had a dignified face and was quite charming. However, two streams of tears were quietly flowing down her beautiful face.
"Miss, that Lord Gao Shu is not only strong, but also handsome. Many women dream of marrying him."
"Why are you so sad when such a wonderful thing happens to you?"
A maid behind the woman muttered in confusion. However, there was a clear look of envy on her face.
"Lian 'er, I have already given my heart to Big Brother Xing. Other than Big Brother Xing, I will not be happy marrying anyone else!" The red-clothed lady gently wiped away the tears on her face and shook her head helplessly.
Bang!
"My beauty, I'm here to pick you up!"
Suddenly, the closed door was pushed open, and a burly man dressed as a groom entered the room.
This burly man was tall and had a rough voice. He had a square face, small eyes, a wide nose, and a big mouth. When he spoke, his mouth was full of yellow teeth, and he was as ugly as he could be.
"Young Master Takagi, you're here!"
And it was precisely such an ugly person that the maids were overjoyed when they saw him. Their faces were filled with eagerness as if they had seen their Prince Charming!
"Hmm? What was going on? Who made my beauty cry? "
"Who is it? See if I don't skin her alive! "
Gao Shu ignored the attentions of the maids and walked straight to Gongsun Yue. When he saw Gongsun Yue's tears that had yet to dry, he became furious and shouted at the maids beside him.
"Eh … it's not us … it's not us!"
Gao Shu was a mid-rank Asura warrior, and those maids were only at the Battle-Sage level. How could they withstand his angry roar? At this moment, they all fell to the ground and trembled, not daring to look at Gao Shu!
"It's nothing to do with them. I just remembered some unpleasant things." Seeing this, Gongsun Yue hurriedly stood up and explained.
"Oh, haha, my beauty, from now on, you're mine. If there's anything unpleasant, just tell me and I'll help you solve it!"
Seeing Gongsun Yue speak, Gao Shu immediately grinned. As he spoke, he grabbed Gongsun Yue's delicate hand with his huge hand that was like a bear's paw. Without caring about Gongsun Yue's reaction, he led her out of the room.
Under Gao Shu's lead, Gongsun Yue and Gao Shu arrived at the Gongsun family's wedding venue. Currently, there were close to ten thousand people gathered in this vast area. It could be said that the venue was filled with guests and was very grand.
When Gao Shu and Gongsun Yue appeared on the high platform, close to ten thousand pairs of eyes turned to look at them.
"This is the son-in-law of the Gongsun family? He really looks talented! "
"Not only that, I heard that he's not only a disciple of the Everlasting Academy, but he's also a mid-rank Asura warrior."
"Asura warriors are already very rare existences, and mid-rank Asura warriors are even more powerful. Even in the powerful Everlasting Academy, they're top figures!"
"Sigh, the Gongsun family is really lucky this time to get such a good son-in-law. I'm afraid no one will be able to compete with the Gongsun family in the future."
"No wonder the Gongsun family rejected the marriage proposal of the Zhang family. Compared to Zhang Xing, there's really too much of a difference!"
"Speaking of which, those people on the platform should be disciples of the Everlasting Academy, right? They're all dragons among men! "
The crowd looked at the high platform and discussed among themselves. Apart from the Gongsun family's Patriarch and the elders of the family, there were also three men wearing the Taoist robes of the Everlasting Academy on the platform. Each of them had a medal with the word 'South' on their chests.
The three men were all disciples of the Southern Academy. They had accompanied Gao Shu to marry Gongsun Yue. As disciples of the Everlasting Academy, they were naturally arrogant. However, in the face of the crowd's praises and the countless women's passionate gazes, they all wore proud expressions.
As for Gao Shu, who was the main character of the wedding, he was even more delighted. The beauty that he had yearned for day and night for four years was finally going to fall into his embrace. Naturally, he was very excited.
Gao Shu, whose face was full of excitement, and Gongsun Yue, whose face was full of worry, began the wedding ceremony under the auspices of the elders of the clan, under the burning gazes of nearly ten thousand people.
At this moment, the joyous atmosphere in the mansion reached its peak.
"Gongsun Bo, do you still remember the five-year promise?"
However, at the most crucial moment of their wedding, a man's roar suddenly rang out from below the stage. Then, a figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
It was a young man with an ordinary face. However, the white Taoist robe he wore was particularly eye-catching because it was the Taoist robe of the Everlasting Academy.
"Big Brother Zhang Xing!"
When Gongsun Yue, who was on the high platform, saw the man below the platform, her worried expression was instantly replaced by endless joy.
Especially when she saw the white Taoist robe of the Everlasting Academy, her joy became even more intense. Because it was Zhang Xing, whom she had yearned for day and night.
"Zhang Xing? You, you actually joined the Everlasting Academy? "
When Zhang Xing appeared, the elders of the Gongsun family on the platform all recognized him. However, when they saw the Taoist robe of the Everlasting Academy, their faces were filled with shock. They did not expect Zhang Xing to have already joined the Everlasting Academy!
"It's you, kid. You're still alive?!"
At the same time, Gao Shu, who was on the platform, also recognized Zhang Xing below the platform. However, his face was filled with intense killing intent. Then, he turned his head and shot a glance at the three disciples of the Everlasting Academy behind him.
"How dare you disrupt my Big Brother Gao Shu's wedding. You're courting death!"
Under Gao Shu's signal, the three disciples also understood his meaning. With a 'shua shua' sound, they leaped up in unison. Bringing along their powerful attacks, they swiftly rushed towards Zhang Xing below the stage.
Several tyrannical attacks fell at the same time, without the slightest intention of holding back. They actually wanted to kill Zhang Xing!
"Hmph, then let's try it!"
The woman he loved was about to marry someone else. Even Zhang Xing, who always liked to deal with things peacefully, could not control his anger at this moment.
At this moment, he had no scruples and did not hold back at all. He went all out and used his killing move. He fought with all his might.
"Rumble, rumble ~"
The battle between Asura cultivators was no small matter, and the battle between four Asura cultivators was even more so. Especially when it happened among the Battle-Saints and Battle Immortals, the range of the attacks could only be described as terrifying.
In an instant, the Gongsun family's mansion was filled with explosions and ripples. Many people who could not dodge in time were buried in the powerful energy ripples. In just a moment, hundreds of people were seriously injured.
As for those who managed to escape, they hurriedly dodged. However, they did not hide too far away because they were completely shocked by the battle between the Asura cultivators.
Such an exciting battle was not something they could imagine. Although most of them did not understand why the disciples of the Everlasting Academy were fighting each other, and they did not understand the meaning behind Zhang Xing's words, the battle at this moment was enough to attract their attention.
However, compared to the spectators, the elders of the Gongsun family on the high platform knew the reason. Although they were shocked that Zhang Xing could enter the Everlasting Academy, they did not intend to fulfill the promise they made in the past.
Because they did not think that Zhang Xing, a disciple who had just entered the Everlasting Academy, could be compared to Gao Shu. After all, Gao Shu had the support of a talented younger brother in the Everlasting Academy. That brother was highly regarded by the Elders and was a candidate to become a disciple of the Central Academy.
Therefore, in this battle, there was only one person who was worried about Zhang Xing, and that person was Gongsun Yue, who was on the high platform. However, due to her low level of strength, she could only watch as Zhang Xing fought against others in the circle of battle, unable to do anything.
Although Zhang Xing was talented, the disciples of the Southern Academy were not to be underestimated. They were not comparable to the disciples of the Northern and Western Academies. Although they were only at the beginner level of the Asura cultivators, their mastery of combat skills was not inferior to Zhang Xing's.
Faced with the siege of four people, Zhang Xing was naturally at a disadvantage. However, Zhang Xing was like an enraged tiger. Without any hesitation, he had already thrown his life away.
Even though the tyrannical attacks continued to land on his body, even though fresh blood kept flowing out of his mouth, his attacks did not stop. His battle continued from beginning to end.
Under Zhang Xing's crazy battle, two of the disciples were seriously injured by Zhang Xing's counterattacks. They retreated from the battle.
"Damn it, if you want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wish!"
Seeing that his brother was seriously injured by Zhang Xing, Gao Shu could no longer suppress his emotions. He suddenly struck out with his palm.
Buzz!
This palm was not a martial skill, nor was it a combat skill. However, it was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it had already landed in front of Zhang Xing.
Bang!
"Ahh!" With a miserable shriek, Zhang Xing was sent flying. After collapsing on the ground, he no longer had the strength to stand up.
"Don't, don't kill him!" Seeing Zhang Xing's state, Gongsun Yue, who was next to Gao Shu, was shocked and shouted hysterically.
"Kill him!" After seeing Gongsun Yue's reaction, Gao Shu, who was already furious, decisively gave the order to execute Zhang Xing!
"This is?"
However, at this moment, a majestic pressure suddenly descended from the sky. At the same time, several rays of purple light rapidly approached from the horizon.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Gao Shu and the others. Even the weaker ones noticed this phenomenon. After all, the brilliant purple light was too dazzling.
"Could it be that my brother has come out of seclusion?"
Looking at the rays of purple light rapidly approaching, Gao Shu's face was brimming with excitement compared to the shock on everyone else's faces.
This was because he thought that his younger brother must have come out of seclusion and found out that he was getting married, so he brought the Southern Courtyard disciples to congratulate him. However, in the next moment, he realized that he was wrong.
Several rays of purple light descended from the sky like a meteor shower. After arriving above the mansion, they landed uniformly beside Zhang Xing.
"Ahh!"
At the same time, the three Southern Courtyard disciples fell to the ground and fainted with pained expressions.
"This, this, this …"
Seeing that nearly a hundred Everlasting Courtyard disciples had come to their mansion, the elders of the Gongsun Clan initially thought that they were here to congratulate him. They were overjoyed like Gao Shu.
After all, the Shura cultivators were disciples of the Everlasting Courtyard. Normally, it would be a great honor for any clan to be able to invite one. Today, the Gongsun Clan had actually sent over a hundred Everlasting Courtyard disciples.
But when they saw the three disciples of the Everlasting Institute who had come with Gao Shu being knocked out, they were at a loss for what to do. But in the next moment, they were completely stunned!
"Listen up, Gongsun Clan Master. If you dare to betroth Gongsun Yue to Gao Shu today …"
"I, Xing Jue, will turn this joyous occasion of the Gongsun Clan into a funeral for your entire clan!"
