In another luxurious suite.
The room was antique, with flowing water and koi fish, pine and cypress landscaping, and small rockery. It was like a paradise.
Eight Taoist priests, who looked to be in their fifties or sixties, were sitting in the outer hall, discussing something in a low voice.
In the inner room of the suite.
A young Taoist priest, who looked to be in his twenties, was sitting on a cushion between the flowing water. He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and regular facial features. He looked quite handsome, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which made him look slightly evil.
Ma Yong, who had changed into a black Taoist robe and tied up his hair, looked quite decent.
"Master, everything has been prepared according to your instructions. After today's engagement is over, I will follow your instructions and bring An Qing to the Kongtong Mountain in the name of your fiancé."
Ma Yong knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Jin Lingzi, the head of the Kongtong Sect, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. This girl's birth date and eight characters are the most suitable. She can be used as a Stove to practice the Good Fortune Bright Jade Technique. She was appointed by the patriarch. Once this matter is settled, you'll be rewarded. Your Ma family may be a big family in the provincial capital, but as long as the patriarch gives you something, it will be enough for you to digest for hundreds of years."
"I know. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Master."
Ma Yong said excitedly.
"I heard from Third Brother that this girl went to see her sweetheart yesterday? You didn't do it cleanly. Why is that man still alive? "
Jin Lingzi's eyes flashed.
Ma Yong was startled and hurriedly said, "Master, forgive me for being so bold. I have a reason for doing this."
"Speak."
"Previously, Master said that using this mortal girl as a cultivation furnace was taboo for her to have someone else in her heart. Therefore, I acted on my own initiative to keep that brat alive and let him cause a ruckus at the ceremony today. I wanted to find an opportunity to completely cripple him, so that this girl would be heartless and give up. Furthermore, with such a ruckus, everyone would know that An Qing had received a huge blow. Her heart would definitely be like dead ashes, and she would go to Mount Kongtong to hide from the world, never to appear again.
"Well, you have some ideas. Not bad, but don't make your own decisions in the future, understand?"
"I understand."
"Well, you can leave. Hmm? Do you have anything else to say? "
"Master, there is still one thing I don't understand. Please explain."
"Oh? Tell me. "
"Master, with our Kongtong Sect's strength and methods, we don't have to go through so much trouble. We can just send people to capture An Qing. Why do we have to …"
"Do you think that what I'm doing is unnecessary?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Forget it. Since you've asked and you're about to enter the sect, I'll tell you. Do you know the reason why the sects, forces, and alliances in the world are all very powerful and have the strength to ignore the government in such a drastic change? Do you know why no one has stood up for them?"
"This … could it be that there's some sort of secret? Master, please release it. "
"It's because a powerful figure once issued a decree listing the ten major taboos. One of the taboos was that mortals were not allowed to be used as cultivation vessels. Even the Kongtong Sect did not dare to openly defy such a decree."
"Great God? Master, is it an immortal? "
"Haha, if it's an ordinary immortal, there's no need to worry. However, the person who issued the decree, although he didn't show himself, once he spoke, the laws of heaven and earth would resonate. It's extremely terrifying. Ordinary people would not dare to defy such a decree that stirred up the will of heaven and earth. The person who issued the decree must be someone like an immortal king. He's powerful and unfathomable, and we can't take him lightly. Therefore, we have to be more careful this time. "
Three minutes later.
When Ma Yong walked out of the private room, his mind was still in turmoil.
It wasn't easy for him to enter the Kongtong Sect. He originally thought that he was already a demigod who had found the door.
He could already
Look down on the world.
Who knew that there would be such a thing in the world of cultivation.
Everything else aside, just by listening to the things that her master had described, those Immortal King level characters could even cause the Laws of the Heaven and Earth to resonate with them with just a single sentence. What sort of limitless glory was that?
"One day, I will definitely become such a person."
Ma Yong swore in his heart.
"And An Qing is the best stepping stone for me to embark on the road to power. Haha, this stupid woman really thinks that I have seen her with my own eyes. She doesn't know that on the road to power, women are just decorations and tools."
He was full of pride.
They arrived at the banquet hall.
The outer sect disciples of the Kongtong Sect who had been waiting hurried over to welcome them.
"Little Uncle-Master, everything is ready."
"The people from Jiulong Mountain are here."
"The people from the Qiang Tribe of Feng County are also here."
"The Zen Master of the Dabei Temple of Xiaoling Mountain is also here."
"The CEO of the Dongling Group is here with a generous gift."
"And the third leader of the Experts Alliance of Qu River is here to congratulate us."
"And …"
One gift list after another was delivered to Ma Yong.
Those who were qualified to attend the engagement ceremony were all important figures in the province.
Ma Yong looked excited.
As soon as Ma Yong appeared in the banquet hall, all kinds of people came up to greet him. Those who didn't know him all came over to greet him. The moment they opened their mouths, they congratulated Ma Yong and treated him as the main character of the day. Even those who had a higher status than Ma Yong gave him some face on account of the Kongtong Sect.
In a trance, Ma Yong felt as if he was the center of everyone.
He enjoyed this feeling.
A group of people crowded around Ma Yong.
Ma Yong raised his hand and said, "There's still a quarter of an hour until midnight. Haha, go and invite the beautiful female lead out. Oh right, there's a very important guest who hasn't arrived yet. I'm a little disappointed."
Someone at the side tactfully asked, "Who is this esteemed guest that Young Master Ma is so concerned about?"
"Haha, it's a poor loser who wants to steal my fiancée. He said he's here to cause trouble."
Ma Yong smiled and said, "He said he would be here before midnight, but it seems that he's scared and doesn't dare to come. How disappointing."
"Haha, Lord Ma, you must be joking. Who would dare to compete with you?"
"That's right. Which of the guests here isn't a big figure in Shaanxi Province? Isn't someone courting death by competing with you for your fiancée?"
"Unless he's crazy."
The people around them were all trying their best to support him.
As they spoke, An Qing, who was wearing a burgundy qipao, arrived at the banquet hall surrounded by her parents, relatives, and four Kongtong Sect Taoist priests.
The number one banquet hall of the Seven Stars of True Dragon was very large and could accommodate four thousand people at the same time. The Kongtong Sect was very influential, so the number of people who came to congratulate them had already filled the number one banquet hall. There were even people who didn't have a seat and had to stand. A crystal corridor led from the side entrance to the banquet hall's stage.
An Qing walked along the crystal corridor to the stage.
She was a girl who was very suitable for heavy makeup. Under the outline of her burgundy qipao, her long wavy hair, her fiery red lips, and her voluptuous figure, her charm and temperament as a youthful beauty were fully unleashed.
All of a sudden, the noise in the banquet hall completely disappeared.
Countless gazes landed on An Qing.
What a stunner.
Many people were sighing, and their hearts were beating violently.
Even though he knew that An Qing was preparing a gift for his grandmaster, at this moment, Ma Yong couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
So beautiful.
It was like a rose of fire that had bloomed in anger.
The intense beauty had a kind of soul-stealing charm.
The master of the ceremony, who had long been prepared, slowly stepped onto the stage and was about to say something …
Bang!
There was a loud explosion.
The door of the banquet hall was directly kicked open.
At the same time, two disciples of the Kongtong Sect were kicked in.
Then, they saw a handsome young man with a slender figure, thick eyebrows, and big eyes walk in from the door.
The audience was in an uproar.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on that young man.
He was making a scene.
At such a time, in such a place, on such an occasion, he came to make a scene?
Where did this young man come from?
Such a thought emerged in the minds of countless guests.
"Haha, Ma Yong, I'm here at the appointed time."
The young man opened his mouth and said loudly.
As if the speaker had its own loudspeaker, everyone heard this sentence.
Ma Yong's face was as gloomy as water.
It wasn't that he didn't think that Li Jianzhen would come.
But he didn't expect that Li Jianzhen would dare to barge in in such an arrogant way.
He directly kicked the door, and even kicked away the disciples of the Kongtong Sect who were guarding outside.
Was he tired of living by eating cream on an old man?
Or was it because of the broken jar?
On the stage, when An Qing saw Li Jianzhen's appearance, his originally dim eyes instantly burst out with a bright light.
He's here.
This man really came.
He didn't waste his trust in him.
But …
Did he really have a way, a way, to solve today's situation?
"Li, what are you doing here?"
When the aunt saw Li Jianzhen, she couldn't help but scream and scolded him sternly, "Today is our An Qing's big day, get lost, don't cause trouble here, the person An Qing likes now is Young Master Ma, not a poor kid with no power or background like you, get lost, or we won't be polite to you."
She was simply angry and afraid.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, there was this kid who jumped out to cause trouble again.
If he angered Young Master Ma, wouldn't he lose everything?
"Little pauper, get lost."
"Don't want a toad to eat swan meat, it's impossible for An Qing to like you."
"If you don't leave, we'll call the police."
The other relatives also cursed at Li Jianzhen, afraid that the good news would be ruined.
After all, the Ma family and the Kongtong Sect had promised them many benefits. That was wealth and status that they could not obtain even if they worked hard for a lifetime.
"Shut up."
Li Jianzhen shouted.
His voice surged like thunder.
Immediately, these relatives were shaken to the point that their ears buzzed, and they shut their mouths in shock.
Li Jianzhen was also not polite.
As for these relatives who looked down on him, he would not spoil them.
"Xiao An, I'm here."
Li Jianzhen directly walked towards An Qing and said: "Don't worry, today, no one can force you. I can do what I said right now."
