Nasha sighed and said, "That's just my and your father's opinion, not yours. You are my only daughter. How can I not understand what you are thinking? Don't think too much. Sometimes, marrying a person who loves you is much happier than marrying a person you don't love. I know you can't forget Dumb, but now things are set in stone and can't be changed. You are the acting Red Priest of the Holy Hall. You symbolize the sanctity of the Holy Hall. Since you have decided to marry Buyi, after you marry him, you must be a good wife. Do you understand? "
Xuanyue's face suddenly became abnormally pale. She had never thought about how to be a wife after marrying Ba Bui. Listening to her mother's words, her heart was constantly in pain.
Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, Nasha knew that Yue was not feeling well. She helped her comb her long blue hair and said, "Well, child, calm down. When the wedding begins, I will come to pick you up and send my daughter to her husband. Forget everything in the past and accept Buyi with your heart. He will definitely be a good husband. Just like your father. By the way, you have to put away the jade ring on your hand. You, who is going to be the bride, can only wear the wedding ring that Buyi gave you. " After that, Nasha turned and walked out of her daughter's room. She tidied up her white priest robe and walked out of the house to prepare for the wedding. In the room, there was only Xuanyue with a sad face and dull eyes.
The sun gradually rose and flew towards the center of the sky. The holy mountain of the Holy Hall suddenly sounded a low horn. "Woo — Woo — Woo — Woo —"
In front of the Divine Hall of Light, there were twenty judges on each side. They raised their huge horns and blew the prelude to the wedding. Thousands of Judges lined up neatly in a huge semicircle under the leadership of two Vice Presiding Judges. Behind them were senior priests who had come from all over the world. According to the arrangement, the priests were chanting the incantation loudly at the same time. Their holy voices kept ringing out from the mountain of the Holy Hall. These priests were at least the chief priests of the Temple of Sacrifice, who were in charge of the affairs of a city. There were thousands of them, and they were led by the red priest Mang Xiu, Yu Jian, and six other white priests, excluding Xuan Ye and Nasha. In the sacred chanting, the whole mountain of the Holy Hall was covered with layers of pale golden airflow. The sacred atmosphere made everyone feel solemn.
On the periphery of the mountain of the Holy Hall, the ordinary priests spontaneously chanted the same incantation as the senior priests. They led the faithful believers who were blocked outside the mountain by the Holy Knights to chant continuously. They were all praying, not only for the red priest and the Judge of Light who were about to get married, but also for the blessings of God. When the golden light flew out from the mountain and shrouded the believers, they all clearly felt that their hearts seemed to be calmer, and their bodies seemed to be full of strength. They felt like they were blessed by God, and the chanting of the believers became more devout.
As the distinguished guests of the Holy Hall, people from the three empires and the Suo Yu Federation gathered in front of the Divine Hall of Light early in the morning. They watched the grand ceremony that had not been seen in the Holy Hall for decades, and listened to the sonorous chanting. Involuntarily, they all felt a sense of devotion.
After Mang Xiu and Yu Jian finished the chanting for the third time, they raised their hands at the same time. The senior priests in the Holy Hall stopped chanting. Mang Xiu took a few steps forward and walked to the center of the Divine Hall of Light. He pressed one hand on his left chest, and the other gently pressed between his eyebrows with his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. "God bless the world." The golden light suddenly shone with him as the center. Mang Xiu opened his arms, and in the loud noise, the ground in front of the Divine Hall of Light began to shake violently. None of the judges and priests showed any surprise. They all looked at Mang Xiu, who was wrapped in the golden light, with devout devotion.
Lardas stood next to Xi Wen, as if they had been good friends for many years. "Brother Xi Wen, you see, this priest Mang Xiu definitely has the power of a magister. His magic level is definitely not lower than mine. The Holy Hall is really a place of hidden talents! There are thousands of senior priests here. Even if the magicians of our two unions join forces, we still can't fight against them. "
Xi Wen smiled and said, "After all, the Holy Hall is the supreme ruler of the continent. If they don't have great power, how can they make the three empires and the Suo Yu Federation submit to them? You see, what magic is this priest Mang Xiu using now? What is his purpose? This golden light is really holy! "
Lardas said, "I don't know what exactly it is, but it doesn't seem to be magic. He just released his own magic power. It should be to trigger some kind of mechanism. Let's wait and see. It's not the first time I've seen such a grand wedding."
Zhou Wen said, "The Pope of the Holy Hall is really putting on a show. We have so many people here, but he hasn't even shown his face. He even said that he wants to unite with our Tiangang School. He has no sincerity at all."
Xi Wen glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk too much. No one will treat you as a mute."
Zhou Wen stuck out his tongue and murmured, "I'm telling the truth. Boss, you are the head of our Tiangang School. No matter what, the Holy Hall should pay more attention to you!"
Xi Wen stopped Zhou Wen with a stern look and said in a deep voice, "Which non-clergy standing here doesn't have a certain status on the continent? You still don't understand the Holy Hall. For thousands of years, the Holy Hall has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They have an unparalleled status on the continent. Pope is even said to be the person closest to God. Although I don't know if God really exists, Pope is definitely the most powerful magician on the continent. My teacher once said that if Pope kept a distance of a thousand meters from him, even he might not be able to protect himself.
You can see the strength of Pope. Usually, even ordinary clergymen would not be able to see him easily. Among the people who came today, in terms of status, Sunset Empire's Quan Yi should be the highest, but, did you see the Pope receive him? "
Under Xi Wen's scolding, Zhou Wen lowered his head and retreated to the side, not daring to speak again. Lardas, who was beside Xi Wen, smiled and said, "Look, the magic of Priest Manxiu is about to change."
Xi Wen once again focused his attention on the empty space in front of the Divine Hall of Light. Indeed, just as Lardas said, the golden light released by Priest Manxiu transformed into thousands of rays of light. Even under the illumination of the sun, it was still very clear. Wrapped in the golden light, Manxiu slowly floated off the ground. He chanted loudly, "God's gift, the beginning of a miracle." He clasped his hands together, and a golden beam of light shot straight down. It suddenly blasted into the shaking ground, and the shaking suddenly stopped. The judges on both sides of the door of the Great Hall of Light blew the horns in their hands again. A whistling sound rang out, and the spot where the golden beam of light that Mang Xiu had just used lit up with a golden light. The golden light spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a huge golden magical hexagram had already appeared under Manxiu's feet. As Manxiu continued to chant, the golden hexagram under his feet gradually brightened, and the entire Divine Hall of Light was filled with a holy aura. Suddenly, the golden hexagram released a ray of golden light from its six points. The golden light started to spin clockwise, and soon, the six rays of golden light connected to each other, forming a perfect circle.
"Rise, Altar of God." As Manxiu shouted, the ground that had just calmed down began to rumble again. The tremors on the ground were much stronger than before, and the huge golden hexagram that had formed a circle trembled slightly. All the guests were shocked to discover that the hexagram was actually pulling the ground up slowly. A huge platform with a diameter of ten meters and a height of three meters appeared in front of everyone. Under the contrast of the golden hexagram, light shone in all directions. This was one of the three major altars in the Holy Holy Hall used to pray to God, the Holy Altar of Light.
The horn continued to sound, and all the clergymen looked devoutly at the Altar of Light in front of the Divine Hall of Light. Manxiu slowly floated to the center of the altar, and the golden light surrounding his body gradually disappeared. With a faint smile on his face, Manxiu said in a clear voice, "Today, the acting Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Goddess Xuanyue, will hold a wedding ceremony with the youngest and most outstanding Judge of Light, Ba Bui. I, Red Priest Manxiu, represent the Holy Holy Hall to express my sincere gratitude to all the distinguished guests who have come to attend the ceremony." As he spoke, he slightly bowed towards the ambassadors on Xi Wen's side. The ambassadors hurriedly returned the bow. Manxiu's words were very pleasant to hear. Even Zhou Wen, who was previously dissatisfied with the Holy Hall's neglect, was speechless. As a Red Priest, Manxiu's status on the mainland was comparable to anyone else's in terms of age, prestige, and cultivation. His bow was enough to give face to the ambassadors.
Manxiu drew a line in the air and took out a red scroll from his Space Enchantment. "Next, I will announce the life of the bride and groom."
As he spoke, he slowly unfolded the scroll and said in a clear voice, "The groom, Ba Bui, male, 26 years old. His father, Ba Bylon, is the Deputy Chief Judge of the Holy Holy Hall. His mother, Luoshui. Ba Bui went to the Holy Hall. He was a promising young man. After continuous hard work, he finally passed the test of the Judge of Light four years ago and became an outstanding senior clergyman. He is the most loyal follower of God. The bride, Xuanyue, female, 19 years old. Her grandfather, Xuan Di, is the current Pope. Her father, Xuan Ye, is the former Red Priest of the Holy Hall. Her mother, Nasha, is the White Priest. Xuanyue was born in the Holy Hall. She was gifted and intelligent. She was a rare genius in the Holy Hall. Through years of hard work, she reached the level of Holy Light Magister at the age of 19. Due to the unfortunate death of the previous Red-robed Priest Na Yan, the Goddess Xuanyue had taken over the position of Red-robed Priest Na Yan after a strict examination by the Church. She became the Church's acting Red-robed Priest, and she was also the youngest Red-robed Priest in the Church. She is the most loyal follower of God. The bride and groom meet the requirements of a clergyman's marriage. After the approval of Lord Pope, the marriage is approved. The Pope approves the marriage on the 23rd day of the tenth month in the autumn of the Holy Calendar. "
After listening to Mang Xiu's introduction of Xuan Yue, not only did the guests who came to attend the wedding open their mouths, even the thousands of clergymen widened their eyes in shock. No one had expected Xuan Yue to have such an illustrious identity. She was actually the granddaughter of the Pope. This sudden surprise immediately caused the atmosphere in front of the Brilliance Shrine to heat up. The clergymen and the guests who came to attend the wedding began to talk with each other.
Mang Xiu took back the scroll and said calmly, "Silence." Although his voice was not loud, the huge energy that was full of spiritual waves still shocked everyone present. The clergymen here were the top leaders of the Holy Hall. Under Mang Xiu's order, they immediately stopped talking.
The guests were also awed by the majesty of the Holy Hall and quieted down.
Mang Xiu looked around and said loudly, "I declare that the wedding officially begins. Let us welcome Lord Pope. "
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The door of the Divine Hall of Light opened, and six white priests came out in a line. Xuan Ye was among them. Nasha was not here because she had to send the bride off. The six white priests were shrouded in a layer of holy white light. They walked slowly to the Altar of Light and stood on both sides.
Xuan Ye's eyes flashed. He slowly raised his hands, and the other white priests did the same. A low chant sounded, and a white light appeared in the hands of the six white priests. There were a total of 12 white energy. An energy ladder was formed between the Altar of Light and the ground. It was completely made of light elements. The guests were all at the side of the Altar of Light and could clearly see this magnificent and holy scene.
Lardas said in a low voice, "So powerful. Any one of these white priests is stronger than the ordinary elders of the Sorcerers Guild. They are at least Light Magic Shooters. Especially the one walking at the front. It seems that his cultivation should not be lower than that of Mang Xiu on the stage. "
Xi Wen nodded and said, "The person you are talking about is the father of the bride, the former Red Priest Xuan Ye. I think he was demoted to a white priest because of the Holy Hall's failure to command the dark forces. His magic cultivation is very high, and he had a confrontation with my teacher. Although he lost, it showed that his magic cultivation is very strong. He should not be underestimated."
While Xi Wen and Lardas were talking, a feeling that they had never felt before appeared in the hearts of everyone in front of the Temple of Light. It was a calm, peaceful, and enormous energy filled with holy aura. In an instant, the entire square quieted down. Lardas's eyes revealed a look of shock. He could clearly feel that this was the fluctuation of magic, the fluctuation of Holy Light Magic. But he had never thought that a person could have such a powerful magic cultivation. With his Magister cultivation, it was like a fairy tale compared to this person. That enormous and surging holy aura suppressed him to the point that he did not even have the slightest thought of resisting. Could this be the power of the Emperor of the Holy Hall?
All the guests, including Xi Wen who had successfully broken through to the ninth stage of the Rebirth Chant, could not help but lower their heads and surrender to the enormous energy. A golden figure slowly appeared at the gate of the Temple of Light. The figure gradually became clearer. The tall figure was covered in a layer of colorful light. The golden priest's robe showed his noble identity. His expressionless face looked so holy. His long white hair was draped over his back, and the golden crown on his head shone brightly under the sunlight. Under the cover of the golden priest's robe, no one could see the movement of his feet. It was as if he was slowly floating out of the temple.
Pope walked in front of the six white priests. He gently lifted his priest's robe with both hands and slowly climbed up the stairs made of white light energy. The six white priests did not show any signs of difficulty. They looked at the tall and holy figure of Pope with reverence.
Red-robed priest Mang Xiu came to the entrance of the stairs made of holy energy. When Pope finally stepped onto the Altar of Light, all the clergymen cheered in unison. The loud cheers came from the bottom of their hearts and shook everyone's soul.
After Mang Xiu bowed to Pope, he brought him to the front of the altar. Pope glanced at the crowd indifferently and slowly raised his hands. The cheers suddenly stopped. The reverence in the eyes of the clergymen had turned into fanaticism. In their hearts, Pope's position was no less than that of the Gods.
Pope looked in the direction of the guests and nodded slightly at Xi Wen. Although Quan Yi's status was the highest among the guests, the one that Pope paid the most attention to was the eldest disciple of Tiangang Kensei, the second-generation headmaster of Tiangang School, Xi Wen. Compared to Xi Wen, although Quan Yi's status was much higher in name, she was much weaker in terms of strength. Not to mention the relationship between Tiangang School and the Hwasin Empire, Tiangang School itself was full of masters. Moreover, the savior Dumb was the eldest disciple of Tiangang School. If the Holy Hall wanted to achieve the final victory in the battle against the dark forces, the relationship between Tiangang School and Tiangang School would play a vital role. Combining all these reasons, the moment Pope showed up, it was as if he was expressing his goodwill to Xi Wen, to show the determination of the Holy Hall and Tiangang School to unite.
Xi Wen saw the look that Pope was giving him, and he could not help but feel flattered. No matter what, the Holy Hall was the top figure in the world, and had the same strength as his teacher Tiangang Kensei. In addition, the Holy Hall had a huge influence on the continent. It was not easy for them to treat him, who was not compatible with the Holy Hall in the past, like this. It showed that the Holy Hall attached great importance to the dark forces. Xi Wen bowed slightly to Pope, and returned a faint smile.
Pope's eyes were full of power, and he said calmly, "Priest Manxiu has already said that Xuanyue is my granddaughter. Today is her wedding, and I am very happy. Xuanyue is a good girl. If they can get together, they will definitely make a greater contribution to the holy cause of the Holy Hall. Believers of God, let us bless them. " With a smile, Pope slowly raised his hands, and a golden light slowly rose from his back. The golden light gradually condensed into the shape of the statue of Destiny in the Great Hall of Light. Six huge wings of light were flapping slightly, and the light that contained a huge amount of divine energy made all the clergymen involuntarily kneel down and loudly chant a prayer spell. In the pious prayers, the golden Mandate of Heaven behind Pope gradually disappeared. In fact, the golden Mandate of Heaven used by Pope was different from the one used by Xuanyue. The Mandate of Heaven used by Xuanyue was completely unintentional, and it was a natural reaction when she increased her power. What the Pope was using now, however, was something that he had deliberately condensed using the light elemental energy in order to intimidate people.
Manxiu said loudly, "Please invite the bridegroom to the altar." With the sound of the horn, his voice spread far away. All the Judges present drew out their long swords. Thousands of long swords flashed with holy light, slanting towards the sky. The deep holy fighting energy interweaved in the air to form a magnificent big net.
Two figures lit up in the direction of the Holy Mountain of the Holy Hall. Wrapped in golden light, they quickly flew in the direction of the Altar of Light. One of them was wearing a light golden warrior suit, with a golden cloak draped over his back. His long white hair was neatly combed behind his head. His sharp eyes had a hint of a smile, and his huge aura shocked the souls of everyone present. He was the head of the Judges of the Holy Hall, Xuan Yuan, who had been demoted to the position of Vice Presiding Judge. Beside him was a tall and handsome young man. The young man's body was set off by a white suit with gold trimmings, making him look even more handsome. The excitement in his eyes was unconcealable. Holding onto Xuan Yuan's arm, they appeared out of thin air. He was the male protagonist of today's wedding, the youngest Judge of Light in the Holy Hall, Ba Bui. As a Judge of Light, Ba Bui was under the direct jurisdiction of Xuan Yuan. He was also the highest leader of the Judges. Therefore, as the groom's elder, he had brought Ba Bui to the wedding.
Soon, the two figures, one gold and one white, floated over. They swept past the net of light formed by the swords of the judges and landed beside the Pope as light as a feather. "Presiding Judge Xuan Yuan and Judge of Light Ba Bui greet Lord Pope." Xuan Yuan and Ba Bui bowed to Pope at the same time.
A golden light flashed in Pope's hand and swept over their heads. He smiled and said, "May God bless you."
The Manxiu priest bowed to Xuan Yuan and Ba Bui, then stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Lord Pope, on this joyous occasion, Lord Pope has decided to grant amnesty to the world. He will restore Xuan Yuan's position as Presiding Judge, promote Ba Bui to be a Holy Judge, restore Xuan Ye to be a Red Robe Priest, and make Acting Red Robe Priest Xuanyue an official Red Robe Priest. This order will be officially implemented after the wedding. "
Ba Bui did not expect to be promoted to the ranks of Holy Judges so soon. He hurriedly bowed to Pope and said, "Thank God for the grace, thank Lord Pope for the grace. Ba Bui will do his best to fight for the holy cause of the Holy Hall."
Pope nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Remember what you said. The Manxiu priest can continue. "
Manxiu nodded and said in a loud voice, "Let's welcome the bride, Red Robe Priest Xuanyue." As soon as he finished, all the clergymen, including the Judges, started to chant the incantation in an unusually loud voice. The huge sound waves intertwined in the air and formed the most unique and holy wedding march.
A resonant phoenix cry sounded from the other side of the sacred mountain. The clear sound penetrated the chanting of the divine prayer incantation and pierced through the clouds. An abnormally bright light soared into the sky. Amidst the phoenix cry, it flew quickly in the direction of the Altar of Light.
Everyone's eyes widened. Some of them were guests who had never seen Xuanyue before. They all wanted to see what the youngest Red Robe Priest of the Holy Hall, Pope's granddaughter, looked like. The red light suddenly became bigger, and the huge figure gradually became clearer. Everyone's jaws dropped in surprise. That was because the red light was actually a huge phoenix formed by flames. The Fire Phoenix was vivid and lifelike. It gently flapped its wings and flew toward the altar. Two people stood proudly on the back of the phoenix. They were two beautiful white figures. One of them was a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a white priest robe. She had a gentle smile on her face, and her pure eyes revealed a sense of gratification. Beside her was a young girl wearing a long white dress. The young girl's face was covered with a white veil. Although she was flying, the breeze that blew on her face did not move the veil at all. Although her face could not be seen clearly, from her beautiful figure, there was no doubt that her beauty would be inferior to the middle-aged woman beside her.
The Fire Phoenix quickly flew to the top of the Altar of Light. With a sweet chant, the Fire Phoenix circled around the altar. The gorgeous red figure suddenly surged toward the chest of the young girl in the white dress. A red light lit up, and the scorching flame energy disappeared. Only then did everyone see that there was a red diamond-shaped gem on the young girl's chest.
Although they did not have the support of the Fire Phoenix, the two women did not fall. The young girl held the arm of the middle-aged woman and slowly floated down under the golden light. Ba Bui's eyes never left the young girl's delicate body. The light in his eyes became even more scorching. He clenched his fists tightly, unaware that his palms were already soaked with sweat.
"White Robe Priest Nasha and Red Robe Priest Xuanyue greet Your Excellency Pope." Almost the same melodious voice rang out. All the clergymen who were chanting couldn't help but stop. Their eyes were filled with joy.
Pope looked at his granddaughter in a white dress, nodded, and said: "No need to be so polite."
After Nasha and Xuanyue stood still, Mang Xiu said in a loud voice: "The newlyweds have arrived. Elders from both sides, please come to the stage to observe the ceremony."
Xuan Ye floated to the stage from behind the Altar of Light. After Pope saluted, he stood beside Nasha. His daughter was about to get married. It was inevitable that a trace of disappointment rose in his heart. He turned to look at his wife. Nasha gently placed her small hand in his palm. More than 20 years ago, they also got married here! This scene made them feel as if they had returned to that moment in the past.
At this time, Ba Bylon also came to the stage with his wife, Luoshui. After saluting Pope, he stood beside his son. Their faces showed unconcealable joy. Their son was finally getting married, and the bride was Pope's granddaughter. How could they not be happy? Ba Bylon patted his son's shoulder, motioning him not to be too excited.
Mang Xiu smiled: "The newlyweds and their elders have arrived. Next, I invite Lord Pope to personally preside over the sacred wedding ceremony for the two newlyweds. Elders from both sides, please bring the newlyweds forward."
Without the need for his parents to lead him, Ba Bui impatiently walked in front of Pope. Ba Bylon shook his head helplessly. This son of his was even more impatient than when he married Luoshui. Standing three meters behind him with his wife in his arms, looking at his son's tall and straight figure, he could not help but feel a sense of pride.
Xuan Ye motioned for his daughter to come forward, but he found that Xuanyue stood motionless, her delicate body slightly trembling.
Nasha also noticed her daughter's abnormality. She knew that her daughter must be thinking of that Dumb again. But at this time, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, how could she retreat? She hurriedly whispered: "Yue, it's time to come forward."
Xuanyue's delicate body was still trembling. It was almost with the support of Xuan Ye and Nasha that she walked in front of Pope. At this time, her heart was already a blank. Other than holding back her tears, she did not know what to do.
Nasha and Xuan Ye stepped back. Feeling their daughter's complicated feelings, both of their faces revealed a trace of worry. Ba Bylon and Luoshui naturally also noticed that there was something wrong with Xuanyue. They simultaneously frowned, feeling a trace of dissatisfaction towards their daughter-in-law. However, Ba Bui did not feel anything. Seeing that he was about to marry the person he loved the most, his heart could not contain anything other than excitement and deep love.
Xi Wen and the others in the audience also became nervous. They knew that once Xuanyue and Ba Bui were married under the auspices of Pope, they would become a legal couple. At that time, Dumb would lose all opportunities both legally and reasonably, and he would really lose Xuanyue. The most anxious person was Xi Wen. Although everyone had discussed the countermeasures last night, the premise of those countermeasures was that Dumb appeared in time to stop the wedding. However, at this time, Dumb was still nowhere to be seen. Did they really have to watch Xuanyue marry Ba Bui? That was absolutely not what they wanted to see.
Pope looked at the newlyweds in front of him with complicated feelings in his eyes. From all aspects, he did not want his granddaughter to marry Ba Bui, but things had already come to this point, and even he could not stop it. After all, today's wedding was held in front of so many people, and it was already the time when the arrow on the bowstring had to be fired. Sighing inwardly, he looked at Ba Bui and Xuanyue, who were standing only a shoulder apart. He raised his hands, and each of them transformed into a golden symbol that floated above their heads. He said in a low voice, "Under the witness of God, I, Pope Xuan Di, will preside over the wedding ceremony for you." Turning his head to look at Ba Bui, Pope asked, "No, as a judge of light, are you willing to devote your life to the sacred cause?"
