When the first rays of dawn tore through the sky, the entire Heaven's Wall City, and even the entire Tianwu Kingdom, was in an uproar again.
Today was the day the Emperor would marry the Imperial Concubine. It could be said that the whole world was celebrating. All the clans had to hang red lanterns to express their congratulations.
Some brothels and theaters had even bribed the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace to send them messages at any time, and had some storytellers broadcast the wedding live for some martial artists and commoners.
The Emperor Li Tianqiong had appeared, and the kingdom had returned to peace. As for the people of the Martial Faction, they could no longer cause any waves.
At that moment, lanterns were hung high in the Qi Estate. From the main hall to the square, there was a red carpet. The square was already filled with the Imperial Family's wedding procession.
The bridal sedan was carried by eight people, all made of red gold and carved with phoenixes.
"Father, go back. I'll take good care of myself," Qi Ying said calmly.
Qi Ying's tone was flat as she was sent into the eight-bearer sedan chair.
Now that the situation was settled, she only hoped that after she married Li Tianqiong and became the Imperial Concubine, she would be able to beg Li Tianqiong to spare Ye Mo's life.
Over a thousand people escorted Qi Ying into the imperial palace and landed on the plaza of the imperial palace.
At that moment, more and more distinguished guests arrived at the square. Almost all the Castellans of the cities, and even the people of the Martial Faction, had been invited.
Li Tianqiong's strength had recovered. His intention was very straightforward. He wanted to use this wedding to once again declare his position as the ruler. He didn't mind killing anyone who disobeyed him.
The so-called wedding couldn't be stained with blood. It was purely an excuse for him to recover his strength.
Dong!
A loud drum sound reverberated through the air like a huge bell, shaking everyone's hearts. Everyone watched as Qi Ying, who was wearing a red dress and a golden phoenix veil, walked out of the sedan chair and was slowly escorted to the main hall of the imperial palace.
Then, an imperial guard shouted loudly, "Welcome the arrival of the Great Emperor!"
As the shout fell, all the guests stopped what they were doing and began to hold their breaths. Then, they felt a terrifying pressure being released. Almost everyone present didn't dare to move.
Even a Spirit Devour Realm expert would find it hard to breathe under the pressure of this aura.
Then, the imposing aura disappeared. All the guests gasped for breath and looked at each other in dismay.
"The strength of a Great Emperor is too terrifying. Just a trace of his might is enough to make it hard for us to resist."
"I'm afraid the Great Emperor's strength has already reached the Transcendence Third Realm."
"The wedding this time is not that simple. Many of the Martial Faction's higher-ups have been invited. It seems like they are out of luck."
Then, Great Emperor Li Tianqiong appeared out of thin air in front of the main hall. Dressed in a red robe, he stood on a flight of steps dozens of meters high, looking down at the guests in the square.
With the help of a servant girl, Qi Ying slowly walked up the steps and came to Li Tianqiong's side.
Li Tianqiong held Qi Ying's hand and revealed a charming smile. "Imperial Concubine, you must be very happy today, right?"
"Yes!"
Qi Ying said calmly.
"But today, on our wedding day, I'm going to do some cleaning."
Li Tianqiong smiled indifferently and slowly walked forward. His eyes scanned the surroundings as he said, "Thank you, Castellans, for coming to my wedding. But before the wedding, I have to settle some things first."
Hearing that, Xuan Ji and the others were slightly stunned. Feeling Li Tianqiong's murderous eyes, they all knew that Li Tianqiong wanted to kill them on the wedding day while all the Castellans were present.
"Calm down," Xuan Ji said softly. "In front of him, we have no chance of escaping. What we have to do is try to reduce casualties."
Xuan Ji said softly, indicating that everyone present should not panic. Once they panicked, it would be even more troublesome.
Xuan Qiu looked around. Ye Mo said that he would be in seclusion for seven days. After seven days, he would come out and fight Li Tianqiong. But it was already the seventh day, and Ye Mo still hadn't appeared. Instead, she hoped that Ye Mo wouldn't appear.
Li Tianqiong looked at the Martial Faction, his expression unreadable.
"Xuan Ji, you led the people of the Martial Faction and attempted to rebel," Li Tianqiong said. "Ye Mo, the traitor, killed many of my Imperial Guards, and even killed two of my Imperial Guard Commanders. Do you know what punishment you deserve?"
Li Tianqiong looked straight at Xuan Ji and began to question her.
"Cao Zhengchun relied on his own advancement to the Transcendence Realm to ignore the rules of the league war," Xuan Ji said. "He publicly deprived Ye Mo of the glory of first place in the league war and ordered the blockade of our Three Major Leagues. We were forced to resist. If the Emperor had personally presided over the league war, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
Xuan Ji explained.
Xuan Ji's words put all the blame on Cao Zhengchun.
"Xuan Ji, you're talking nonsense," Empress Cao said. "My brother's purpose was just to test your Three Major Leagues.
Your Three Major Leagues have long had the intention to rebel. "
Li Tianqiong signaled Empress Cao not to talk too much. He waved his hand and said to Xuan Ji, "Xuan Ji, Ye Mo's name is on my invitation list. Where is he? Did he escape again? "
"Ye Mo is a genius disciple of the Door of Desolation," Xuan Ji said with a playful smile. "Naturally, he has to return to the Door of Desolation. As for when he will return, I don't know. But when he returns, I'm looking forward to seeing how much his strength will grow."
Xuan Ji smiled playfully.
Many Castellans could sense the threat in Xuan Ji's words. Ye Mo had left the Tianwu Kingdom for less than two months, but he already had the strength to kill Cao Zhengchun. It was likely that when he returned, he would kill Li Tianqiong.
"Hmph, Xuan Ji, do you really think I'm afraid of Ye Mo? So what if I cultivate in the Door of Desolation? I have the Spirit Emperor on me. In the Tianwu Kingdom, no one can do anything to me. "
Li Tianqiong snorted coldly. Then, he frowned and looked into the distance. His gaze shifted to the black shadow attacking him.
"Who said that I, Ye Mo, wouldn't come?"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar rang out. Everyone's gaze moved slowly and saw Ye Mo appear in the sky above the square.
Hearing the voice, Qi Ying immediately lifted the golden veil and looked at the figure in the sky in disbelief.
"From your cultivation, I can see that there are many geniuses out there," Ye Mo said. "But they'll all become my stepping stones. I must make you my woman. My father missed out on my mother, but I won't miss out on you!"
"So, the legendary Imperial Concubine is you," Ye Mo said. "Although you're the Imperial Concubine, I still won't give up. In three years, the Emperor will marry you. I'll snatch you away at the Emperor's wedding. At that time, I'll grow so strong that even the Emperor will tremble before me!"
Looking at the figure, the scene in the cave flashed before her eyes again.
Everything the young man had said seemed like a ridiculous promise to her.
Once upon a time, the young man in front of her had been expelled from his family and hunted down. More than once, she had told Ye Mo to retreat in the face of difficulties.
But now, at her and Li Tianqiong's wedding, he appeared with unparalleled confidence!
