The grand ceremony was completely silent.
At this moment, the song and dance on the stage had just finished. The entire Revered Heaven Gate's plaza was completely silent, not even the sound of wind. Everyone looked at the man and woman in the middle of the banquet. None of the guests dared to speak.
However, after the battle just now, everyone had a rough understanding of the strength of the Revered Heaven Gate's young master and Purple Lake City's vice city lord. The Revered Heaven Gate's young master was 27 years old this year. It was rare for him to have such a cultivation level. But what was even more shocking was that the vice city lord of Purple Lake City, who was not even 20 years old, was able to subdue his opponent. This was even more unbelievable.
Even the most mediocre of people, as long as they saw the battle just now, they would understand that the Revered Heaven Gate's young master did not even have the strength to fight back against the vice city lord of Purple Lake City. This young man called Lu An countered every move that came his way. Every time, he would let the opponent's attack land on him before borrowing the force to counterattack. If he did not have absolute confidence in his own strength, he would not have dared to do such a thing.
Lu An looked at the teary-eyed Zhang Yutong in front of him and frowned slightly. He did not say anything. At this moment, a voice finally came from the stage.
"Enough!" Zhang Yun shouted and said, "You are a guest, do not be rude! Men, bring the young miss back to her room to rest! "
Once these words came out, all the guests trembled and looked at Zhang Yun. However, they also understood Zhang Yun's decision. Although this would make the young miss feel even more wronged, he had no choice but to do so. After all, the young miss was the one who made the first move. Furthermore, Lu An did not want to counterattack at all.
The maid came to Zhang Yutong's side and said softly, "Young master …"
Zhang Yutong's body trembled slightly. She glared at Lu An with hatred and turned to leave. After seeing Zhang Yutong leave, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Zhang Yun and bowed, "Junior offended and disturbed the ceremony. I seek Sect Master Zhang's forgiveness."
"It's not your fault." Zhang Yun waved his hand. He looked at the time and said in a heavy voice, "The time has come. Let the ceremony begin!"
Weng —
Just as he finished speaking, a bugle horn sounded, releasing a sound that shook the hearts of the people. Everyone immediately looked at the rooftop behind the stage. At the highest point of the rooftop, there was a huge incense stick. At the same time, there was a long sword beside it. It was very eye-catching.
Zhang Yun leaped into the air and landed on the Heaven's Platform. He reached out and pulled out the sword that was stuck on the stage. Then, he flew into the air again.
Everyone looked up at Zhang Yun, not knowing what he was going to do. The Revered Heaven Gate had always been very mysterious. Most of the people here had never seen a celebration before. Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Yun suddenly pointed his sword at the sky and roared!
"Respect the truth and respect the Dao, divine thunder descends from the sky!"
Rumble!
In the originally clear sky, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. This was like a bolt from the blue!
However, this was only the beginning. More and more thunderbolts appeared in the sky, accumulating and becoming denser. In a short span of ten breaths, they had formed a gigantic lightning net.
"Descend!"
Another earth-shattering roar was heard. The thunder in the sky also issued a roar. All the lightning gathered and formed a huge lightning vortex that struck down towards Zhang Yun!
Rumble!
The lightning was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had reached Zhang Yun's sword. Zhang Yun's sword and body were covered with lightning. With a low roar, he swung his sword and actually flung all the lightning out towards the huge incense!
Bang!
The huge incense exploded. In an instant, the top of the incense was ignited by the lightning. A huge explosion that was about three meters thick came from the top of the incense, emitting yellow and red smoke.
The incense filled the air. When all the disciples of the Revered Heaven Gate saw this, they immediately knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Revered Heaven Gate!"
All the guests bowed. Lu An did the same. However, he realized that there was a gaze staring at him. This gaze came from the high platform behind him.
It was obvious that it was the middle-aged man sitting on the high platform. Although he did not know who this person was, he could guess that he should be the leader of the Frenzy Army.
After lighting the incense, Zhang Yun slowly descended from the sky and returned to the high platform. The celebration would only end after the huge incense had burned out. This would take a long time. During this time, everyone in the banquet would interact with each other. It was also the time for everyone to send gifts to the Revered Heaven Gate.
Once again, a performance appeared on the stage. All the guests lined up to send gifts to Zhang Yun. Lu An was not in a hurry. Instead, he sat at a banquet table and ate quietly. When the people at the table saw Lu An sit down, they were a little flustered. Not only did no one dare to talk to Lu An, they even left to avoid arousing suspicion. Soon, only Lu An was left at the table.
However, Lu An was also happy to have the peace and quiet. It was a very happy thing to be able to monopolize such a table of delicacies.
On the high platform, Zhang Yun and Gu Yi looked down at Lu An from time to time. Especially Gu Yi. He did not know what this young man was doing. Although this young man's strength was not worth mentioning in his eyes, he always felt that this young man's arrival was not so simple. He must have a purpose.
Time passed by slowly. Finally, the long line of gifts could be seen. At this moment, Lu An finally stood up and walked towards the high platform under everyone's shocked gazes. He looked as relaxed as if he was taking a stroll in the park. His expression was very calm as he approached step by step.
Soon, Lu An arrived at the end of the line. After waiting for two more people, he arrived in front of Zhang Yun. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior greets Sect Master Zhang."
Zhang Yun glanced at Lu An before glancing at Gu Yifan. Gu Yifan had been looking at them this entire time. Zhang Yun lightly sighed and said, "What? Is Purple Lake City going to give me a gift as well?"
"Of course, Purple Lake City is not ignorant of the rules. They will not come empty-handed." Lu An said with a smile, "It's just that … the gift I want is too expensive. I'm afraid that someone will be jealous, so I want to give it to Sect Master Zhang in private after the ceremony."
He did not deliberately hide his voice. Everyone around could hear him clearly. They could not help but frown as they looked at Lu An. They did not know what this young man was doing. Zhang Yun was also stunned. He frowned and said, "Who dares to snatch the gift for me here? You're thinking too much. Just take it out. "
"Please forgive me for not daring to." Lu An smiled and said, "Or I can ask Sect Master Zhang to set up a barrier. I can also give it to you here."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Yun said in a low voice. "How can you set up a barrier in such a grand ceremony?"
"Then please forgive my rudeness, Sect Master Zhang." Lu An cupped his hands and said, "Junior's gift is no small matter. If Junior is unable to give Senior a satisfactory gift, Senior can punish me."
Zhang Yun frowned when he heard this. He would have been angrier, but after hearing Lu An's promise, he calmed down. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, wait for me in the study after the ceremony!"
"Yes, Junior will do as you bid," Lu An said politely and turned to leave. However, at this moment, the person beside him spoke up.
"When is Purple Lake City going to surrender?"
Lu An stopped and turned to look at Gu Yi. He thought for a moment and said, "You must be the leader of the Frenzy Army, Senior Gu Yi?"
"That's right." Gu Yi looked at Lu An and said indifferently, "Junior, you're quite discerning. I advise you not to be presumptuous in front of me."
"Junior naturally wouldn't dare," Lu An said. "Junior was fortunate enough to see Senior Gu's elegance today. This trip was not in vain. However, there's something I don't know if I should say. "
Gu Yi frowned and said, "Speak!"
"Senior Gu should know that Purple Lake City's City Lord is a Level Seven Heavenly Master. Even if Senior Gu and Sect Master Zhang join forces to deal with him, as long as our City Lord wants to escape, Senior Gu won't be able to stop him," Lu An said indifferently. "As long as our City Lord is fine, he can make a comeback at any time. Unless the two of you are together, our City Lord will find an opportunity. Even if we can't kill Senior Gu, what will happen to Senior Gu's country? Do you want to be prepared for a Level Seven Heavenly Master to destroy your country? "
"If that's the case, why don't we end the war here? The Frenzy Army has already occupied enough land. There's no need to continue," Lu An said. "What does Senior Gu think?"
Gu Yi frowned when he heard Lu An's words. Then, he sneered and said, "Why? Your City Lord sent you here to make peace with me?"
"It can't be considered as making peace. At most, we're both taking what we need," Lu An said.
"Hehe, a defeated army is worthy of making peace with me?" Gu Yi's face darkened and said, "Tell your City Lord to prepare my army to enter Purple Lake City! Or, if she surrenders early, I can spare her life! "
Lu An frowned and said, "If that's the case, then you're on your own!"
