Crouching Dragon Mountain was hosting the Crouching Dragon Feast today. It was a grand affair.
On this day, countless people climbed the mountain to pay their respects, including guests from top forces in the Barren State.
It was a marriage alliance between White Cloud City and the Zhuge Family, and the Holy Zhi Palace was involved. Everyone in the Barren State had to give them face.
Moreover, the main character of today's engagement was the most dazzling figure among the younger generation in the Barren State, Bai Luli.
"Taixuan Mountain is here to congratulate." Below the mountain gate, someone announced loudly. Immediately, disciples of the Zhuge Family went to welcome them. Today, all the maidservants of Crouching Dragon Mountain came out, welcoming them from the top of the mountain. It was a grand scene.
"The Demon God Clan is here."
"The Vermilion Bird Clan is here."
"The Duantian Mountain Range is here."
"The Mortal World is here."
"The Nantian House is here."
"The Sovereign Family is here."
"…"
Voices rang out one after another on Crouching Dragon Mountain. The entire Barren State was shaken. It was even grander than the triennial Holy Zhi Palace Battle.
Although the Holy Zhi Palace Battle was held once every three years, the top figures would not appear at the entrance battle. However, it was different today. Top figures from all over had arrived.
"The Emperor Family of Alchemy City is here."
"The Sacred Fire Clan is here."
"The City Lord Office of Alchemy City is here." An even louder voice rang out. The top forces of the Barren State's Western Region had also arrived. White Cloud City was one of the two strongest cities in the Barren State's Western Region. The forces of the Western Region naturally had to show some respect.
Even You Chi, the City Lord of Alchemy City, who had not appeared in such an occasion for a long time, came in person. His daughter and son-in-law were now in the Zhuge Family, so they came to join in the fun.
This time, top figures from all over came together. The hearts of the Zhuge Family members were also beating rapidly, feeling honored. This was the influence of this marriage. The entire Barren State had come to congratulate them, attracting the attention of the world.
Zhuge Qingfeng, the leader of the Zhuge Family, and the older generation welcomed them personally. Today, many people of the same generation had come. Many of them were top figures on the Barren Sky Ranking and were of the same generation as him. If it was just one or two people, he could ignore them because he was sixth on the Barren Sky Ranking. However, with so many people here, even Zhuge Qingfeng had to lower his status.
"Brother Zhuge, congratulations." At that moment, Zhuge Qingfeng and Zhuge Canyang stood together to welcome the guests. A thin figure cupped his hands and congratulated them. This person was dressed in very simple black clothing. Although he was smiling, he gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. This was naturally related to his cultivation ability, as the cultivation method could affect a person's temperament.
This person was ranked ninth on the Barren Sky Ranking, House Lord of Tingxue House, Xu Shang.
Beside him, Xu Que stood there with a smile.
"I'm honored that Brother Xu has the time to visit us today," Zhuge Qingfeng said with a smile. The Tingxue House Lord rarely showed his face.
"How could I miss such a joyous occasion?" Zhuge Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Xu Que greets senior."
"I heard that nephew Xu Que has entered the top ten of the Law Rank not long ago. Looks like he'll inherit Brother Xu's mantle in the future," Zhuge Qingfeng said with a smile.
"It's just the top ten. It's not worth praising." Xu Shang shook his head lightly.
"Senior, Ye Futian should be in the Zhuge family now, right? Where is he?" Xu Que asked.
"He's in the Moon Pavilion. You can ask the servant girl to lead the way," Zhuge Qingfeng said. Xu Que and Ye Futian were both cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace, so they naturally knew each other.
"Alright, thank you, senior." Xu Que nodded.
"Xu Que." A voice came from behind. Xu Que turned around and saw Huang Jiuge of the Sovereign Family standing there.
"You're here too," Xu Que said.
"Yes." Huang Jiuge nodded. "I want to see him too. Let's go together."
As he said that, he also stepped forward and bowed to Zhuge Qingfeng. "Junior Huang Jiuge greets senior."
"No need to be so polite, nephew." Zhuge Qingfeng smiled and looked at the majestic figure in a yellow robe walking over. The leader of the Sovereign Family, fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking, Huang Xi.
"Brother Zhuge, how have you been," Huang Xi said with a smile.
"Brother Huang Xi's bearing is even better than before," Zhuge Qingfeng replied. The two of them could be considered old rivals. After all, one of them was fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking, while the other was sixth. They were from the same generation.
People came one after another. At that moment, a couple walked over with a girl about 18 or 19 years old. The middle-aged man had an extraordinary bearing, and there was a faint aura of a real dragon about him. The girl was dignified and beautiful.
"Junior Long Ao greets senior Zhuge." The middle-aged man cupped his hands at Zhuge Qingfeng.
"Long Ao of the Dragon Family in the West Mountain of the Eastern Region, brother of Long Yitian?" Zhuge Qingfeng asked.
"That's right." Long Ao nodded.
"You're also on the Barren Sky Ranking. No need to be so polite. Please, "Zhuge Qingfeng said with a smile. Long Yitian had appeared out of nowhere in the Barren State's Eastern Region. His strength was extraordinary, and his talent was extraordinary. If he didn't die, he would have had a chance to enter the top ten of the Barren Sky Ranking. Long Ao was Long Yitian's brother, and he was a little younger, so it was not wrong to call him senior. However, Long Ao had also entered the Barren Sky Ranking, but it was not just because of his strength. He had not reached the pinnacle of the Sage Plane, and there should be many in the Barren State's Eastern Region who were stronger than him. However, the Barren Sky Ranking combined strength and potential, and Long Ao's potential was obviously very great.
In the Divine Sky City of the Barren State's Eastern Region, Long Ao was the only one on the Barren Sky Ranking.
"Senior, are my brother Futian and sister Jieyu here?" the girl beside him asked with a smile.
"They're in the Moon Pavilion," Zhuge Qingfeng replied. Long Ao, Long Ling 'er, and the others walked forward together. After that, someone asked about Ye Futian, causing Zhuge Canyang to reply in a low voice, "Today is the day of the marriage alliance between the Zhuge Family and the White Cloud City, but there are actually many people who came looking for him."
"That's influence." Zhuge Qingfeng recalled what he saw the day before. Ye Futian was still so young, but he was already vaguely leading a generation forward.
Even people like Huang Jiuge of the Sovereign Family and Xu Que of Tingxue House seemed to admire him.
On the contrary, Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing were also at the Zhuge family, but no one paid any attention to them.
Zhuge Mingyue was no longer at Mingyue House, but at Qingfeng Residence.
Ye Futian could clearly feel how lively Crouching Dragon Mountain was at the moment, even in the quiet Mingyue House. The voices pierced through the air, resounding throughout Crouching Dragon Mountain. Whenever a top figure or a top force arrived, there would be such an announcement. Every voice made Ye Futian feel a sense of pressure.
This marriage had truly shocked the entire Barren State.
Yesterday, he had sent the blood message back to Third Brother and brought the message. He did not know how Third Brother would choose, but if he really chose to come, what kind of pressure would he face?
"Why are you guys here?" Ye Futian asked when he saw Huang Jiuge and Xu Que.
"I heard in the Holy Zhi Palace that you came with Yu Sheng to the Zhuge family. Wuchen and the others were worried, so they told me some things about you. He asked me to tell you not to be impulsive," Xu Que said.
"I know." Ye Futian nodded. Wuchen naturally knew what his relationship with Second Sister and Third Brother was. He was probably afraid that his impulsiveness would bring him trouble.
"Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue's marriage has shocked the entire Barren State. Your objection is probably useless," Huang Jiuge said. Even though Ye Futian was now number one on the Law Rank, he was still unable to intervene in this matter.
"Let's go," Ye Futian said, his heart a little heavy.
At this time, the guests had already arrived at the mountain. The Crouching Dragon Feast continued. Ye Futian first visited Alchemy City Lord You Chi, then saw Long Ling 'er and Madame Long, and he could not help but walk up to them.
"Big Brother Futian," Long Ling 'er called out.
"Ling 'er, why are you here?" Ye Futian asked.
"My father came to see, so he went to the Holy Zhi Palace. I asked him to bring me along." Long Ling 'er looked at the middle-aged man behind her, and Ye Futian looked at him, then bowed and said, "Ye Futian greets Uncle."
"Yes, thank you for taking care of Ling 'er all these years," Long Ao said with a smile. Although this was the first time he met Ye Futian, he had heard his wife and daughter talk about him too many times.
"Uncle, you are too polite. I have always treated Ling 'er as my sister," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"This girl is stubborn, it must have been hard on you." Long Ao asked softly, "I heard that you do not agree with this marriage?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"Back then, my brother went to the land of orthodoxy to pursue the fate of the Divine Path. Now that the Holy Zhi Palace is paving the way for Bai Luli, their will is unquestionable," Long Ao reminded him softly.
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. Everyone thought that this matter was already decided, and there was no way to change it.
Long Ao patted his shoulder and said softly, "Ling 'er, accompany Ye Futian."
"Alright." Long Ling 'er nodded. Long Ao and his wife walked up. In the Crouching Dragon Banquet, experts on the Barren Sky Ranking like him were naturally qualified to sit at the top. Ye Futian and the other younger generation had their own seats below. If it were ordinary members of clans or younger generation, their seats would be even further back.
Ye Futian saw many familiar faces. Di Gang, Li Futu, Xiang Zhiyan, and many other experts from the Western Region had arrived. Of course, there was also Yan Jiu from the Sword Saint Villa, people from the Nantian House, and people from the Mortal World.
These people all noticed Ye Futian. Now, Ye Futian was number one on the Law Rank, and he had defeated Di Gang in Alchemy City. He seemed to be the number one noble in the Barren State, and no one could be compared to him.
However, Ye Futian was not in the mood to pay attention to them. He found a seat alone and sat down, waiting quietly.
"They're here." At this moment, countless eyes turned to look at a group of people walking over from afar. The White Cloud City Lord and the Zhuge Family Lord walked over together. Along the way, many people stood up and cupped their hands to greet them. Bai Luli followed behind them.
The group walked to the main seat of the Crouching Dragon Banquet, turned around, and looked at the vast number of people walking down.
"The Holy Zhi Palace is here to congratulate you." At this moment, a voice came from the bottom of the mountain. The White Cloud City Lord, Bai Gu, and Zhuge Qingfeng were both standing there looking into the distance.
Soon, they saw several people walking over. The person in the lead was third on the Barren Sky Ranking, Liu Chan. Beside him were the Tianxing Pavilion Palace Lord and Sage Zhu Song.
