Not long after, a large carriage stopped outside the inn. From the color and luster of the carriage, it was not difficult to tell that it was a brand new carriage. The decoration was very beautiful, and it was filled with fresh flowers, as if it was a very luxurious flower carriage.
After that, Jianchen personally carried Aunt Bi Yunhai's coffin out of the inn, accompanied by Bi Yuntian and the others. Then, he gently placed the coffin on the carriage.
The two Class 1 Magical Beasts that were originally used to pull the carriage had been replaced by nine Class 4 Magical Beasts. The ostentation could be said to be very grand. At least in Fengyang City, the scene of a Class 4 Magical Beast pulling a carriage had never happened before.
After everything was set up, everyone did not stay in Fengyang City for a moment longer. They slowly drove the carriage out of the city. Everyone chose to walk on foot. The fifty Eastern Deity Sword Legion's elite team that rode over on rank four magical beasts all held onto their mounts. They were like loyal and devoted guards as they guarded the carriage on both sides. They slowly walked on foot, causing passersby to stop and watch one after another and talk about it.
Such a grand spectacle was unprecedented in the history of Fengyang City, and it greatly surprised the mercenaries and caravans in front of them. Then, they hurriedly drove the carriage to an empty space on both sides of the street. They knew in their hearts that the person who was able to use nine Class 4 Magical Beasts to pull the carriage must have a very high status, and was not someone they could afford to offend.
The funeral procession directly left Fengyang City. Because the procession was dragging a carriage, they could not travel too quickly, and were completely walking towards the Kingdom of Gesun.
The Yun family's patriarch, Jianchen, did not let them go either. He handed them over to an elite soldier to escort them, and they left together with the funeral procession.
With such a slow speed, Jianchen and the others walked for a full seven days before they finally returned to Lore City in the Kingdom of Gesun. For Jianchen, Ming Dong, and the fifty elites, walking for seven days was naturally nothing. However, the two weak women, Bi Yuntian and Yun Lian, couldn't bear it. Halfway through the journey, they rode on Class 4 Magical Beast mounts. The two of them looked haggard and exhausted.
After returning to Changyang Prefecture, Bi Yuntian couldn't care less about his exhausted body. He immediately found the deputy housekeeper of Changyang Prefecture and asked the deputy housekeeper to arrange a grand funeral for Bi Yunhai.
However, after hearing this, the assistant steward did not immediately take action. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Fourth Madam, Changyang Prefecture has just been established, and now we are holding a funeral. Furthermore, it is for an outsider. I'm afraid this is somewhat inappropriate. The elders in the family will most likely not agree."
Bi Yuntian's face darkened. She shouted, "What outsider? That's my sister. Deputy Housekeeper Xu, go arrange it immediately."
"This …" The deputy housekeeper was in a difficult position. Changyang Prefecture was not some second or third-rate small family. It was a prestigious family in the Kingdom of Gesun. The deputy housekeeper would indeed feel that it was inappropriate to arrange a grand funeral for an outsider.
"Didn't you hear what my mother said? What's wrong with arranging a funeral for my aunt in the manor? Hurry up and do it. "Jianchen walked in from outside and glared at the deputy housekeeper.
Seeing that Jianchen was angry, the deputy housekeeper's heart trembled. He panicked and said, "Ah, it's the fourth young master. Fourth young master, please calm down. Your servant will arrange the funeral right away." Since Jianchen had spoken, the deputy housekeeper did not dare to say anything against him. This was because he knew that in Changyang Prefecture, Jianchen's status was supreme. The honor and status of Changyang Prefecture were all brought by him alone.
Once Jianchen had spoken, none of the elders in Changyang Prefecture dared to object. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything.
Under the full efforts of Deputy Housekeeper Xu, all the guards and servants in Changyang Prefecture began to move. They went to the market as fast as they could to buy the necessities for the funeral and began to arrange them in the manor. Later, even the chief housekeeper, Chang Bo, personally participated and gave advice.
With the combined efforts of hundreds of people in Changyang Prefecture, it took only half a day to complete the arrangements. Then, Bi Yuntian's coffin was placed at the front, surrounded by flowers. It was a sea of flowers. Above the coffin hung a portrait drawn by Bi Lian. It was the mother she had seen when she was young. That was a very beautiful lady, and the portrait was very lifelike. Upon closer inspection, there were some similarities with Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian. The only flaw was that the woman in the portrait had a hideous scar on her face.
Once all the preparations were complete, the grand funeral was officially held in Changyang Prefecture. However, the fact that Changyang Prefecture suddenly held a funeral for no reason surprised and confused everyone in Lore City. At the same time, it caused a great uproar in the city. Very soon, the city lord and the important figures of the three other clans all paid a visit to see what was going on. At the same time, a few other clans and organizations in Lore City all paid a visit. At the same time, they volunteered to participate in the funeral, lending their meager strength.
On the second day of the funeral, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and the commander of the imperial guards, Bi Dao, arrived in Lore City with five hundred black-armored soldiers. Even the principal of Kargath Academy, Kafir, was alarmed, hurrying over from the academy.
Changyang Prefecture's status in the Kingdom of Gesun was extremely special. The future of the Kingdom of Gesun completely depended on Changyang Prefecture, so the sudden grand funeral in Changyang Prefecture had given them quite a fright. They all worried that someone important had passed away, which was why the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and Kafir had hurried over in such a hurry.
However, when they learned that the person who had passed away was Bi Yuntian's sister who had been separated from her for over twenty years, they all secretly sighed in relief. Only Bi Dao's heart was extremely heavy.
The news of Changyang Prefecture's grand funeral spread like wildfire. Many clans and organizations in the Kingdom of Gesun caught wind of it, and all the important figures personally came over to express their sincerest consolation.
Even the two great elders of the Huayun Sect personally came over. On one hand, they came to console the people of Changyang Prefecture, but on the other hand, they also came to express their apologies for the matter with Jianchen a few years ago. On the other hand, they also offered great gifts.
In short, the funeral for Bi Yunhai in Changyang Prefecture was extremely grand. Not only did all the influential organizations in the Kingdom of Gesun come, even the king of the Kingdom of Gesun personally came.
The funeral lasted for seven whole days. Bi Yunhai's grave was not set in the wilderness. Instead, under Bi Yuntian's insistence, it was set in the backyard of Changyang Prefecture. A piece of land with good feng shui was specially set aside for Bi Yunhai's burial, and an extremely luxurious tomb was constructed.
After the funeral, the various organisations that had come to offer their condolences all returned. Only Bi Dao remained behind. He stood tall like a tree, silently standing before Bi Yunhai's tombstone for three whole days. He did not move at all. His face was filled with pain.
Bi Dao and Bi Yuntian were siblings from the same father and mother. Their father and Bi Yunhai's father were brothers from the same father. Not only did the two of them share the purest blood relationship with Bi Yunhai, they were also his closest childhood playmates.
"Sister Yun Hai, I never thought that you'd make it out alive, and that you'd been living in a neighboring country all this time. Why couldn't I have received news of you earlier? If I had, the three of us would've been reunited, and we wouldn't be separated like this," Bi Dao stared at the tombstone in front of him in sorrow as he softly murmured.
Bi Yuntian pulled Bi Lian over, "Brother, this is sister Yunhai's daughter. She's called Bi Lian. Lian 'er, this is your uncle."
Bi Lian looked at the black-armored Bi Dao and obediently called out, "Uncle."
Bi Dao finally shifted his gaze away from the tombstone. He stared at the eighteen -year-old Bi Lian with mixed feelings. A while later, he let out a long sigh, "Sister Yunhai may have left us, but she left her daughter behind."
"Bi Lian, don't worry. Uncle will protect you well in the future."
Tears flowed from Bi Lian's eyes. At that moment, she felt like she already had a warm family. There were seniors who cared for her everywhere. It was completely different from the days she spent in the Yun family.
Bi Dao's gaze landed on Bi Hai's tombstone again. He heavily said, "Where's the murderer of sister Bi Hai?"
"He's locked up in the woodshed. I don't want him to die so easily, so I haven't executed him yet." The person who spoke was Jianchen. The poison in the patriarch of the Yun family had already been removed by the antidote he had obtained from Bi Lian, so he had not died from the poison. ,
Bi Dao turned around and made his way to the woodshed. Jianchen hesitated slightly as he watched Bi Dao leave. He said, "Uncle, don't let him die so easily."
"I know," Bi Dao replied without even looking back. He disappeared from Jianchen's sight very quickly.
Soon after, a series of chilling cries rang out from Changyang Prefecture. The cries were filled with pain. It was possible to imagine what kind of torture the owner of the cries was enduring.
…
In the private room, half a month had already passed. The matter of the Changyang clan's funeral had already calmed down, and everyone had forgotten about it. Bi Yuntian and Yun Lian's grief had been reduced by a lot as well, but even with that being the case, it was still very difficult to see a smile on their faces.
Bi Dao had also remained in Changyang Prefecture for half a month. He hated the person who had killed his sister to the core, so he used the cruelest methods to make the patriarch of the Yun family suffer hellish torture every day. He used all the torture he knew on the patriarch several times before finally torturing him to death. Afterward, he tossed his corpse into the wild to feed wild beasts. It could be described as the most painful torture in the world.
With the death of the patriarch of the Yun family, Bi Yunhai's vengeance was basically resolved. Bi Dao did not stay in Changyang Prefecture for long either. He left Changyang Prefecture the next day and headed for the imperial palace.
Jianchen gathered everyone together after Bi Dao's departure. He bid farewell to his parents and the people of Changyang Prefecture. He planned on leaving Changyang Prefecture to continue developing the Flame Mercenaries.
"Brother, let me go with you," Bi Lian suddenly arrived before Jianchen and looked at Jianchen hopefully.
