Red Wedding

There was silence at the wedding banquet.

After all, before today, everyone's impression of Xu Shulou was still that of a woman who prostrated herself at Patriarch Lu's feet and cried and shouted that she wanted to marry him, a humble and shameless woman who had really wasted her stunning face.

But now she was speaking arrogantly, saying that she wanted to kill Lu Beichen alone to liven up the party...

Not to mention, this arrogant look quite suits her face.

Even Bai Roushuang and her group stared at her blankly with wide eyes.

After everyone was stunned, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Someone mocked, "Just you? Sect Master Lu is the number one cultivator of this generation, a great master in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Can you last three moves under his hands? I'm afraid you'll have to kneel down and beg him..."

Before he finished speaking, the folding fan in Xu Shulou's hand - in order to match the shape of the red dress, she had specially changed it into a red jade fan - was raised at this time, and it hit the mouth of the male cultivator who was speaking, knocking him out and knocking over a table. Then the red jade fan spun back into Xu Shulou's hand.

She glanced at the man whose lips were swollen and whose front teeth were missing: "I'm sorry, this world makes me a little irritable."

Her tone was very polite, and everyone almost thought that her next sentence would be "I hope everyone will forgive me", but Xu Shulou changed the subject and continued, "So, please take care of yourselves and don't mess with me."

"You bitch..."

As everyone was in an uproar, music started playing at the door and a man in a red robe walked in. The bridesmaid was spreading albizzia flowers on both sides of the red carpet. After the petals fell, Lu Beichen's smug and triumphant face was revealed.

The guy who was shouting had to shut up, after all, he didn't dare to disrupt the wedding banquet.

Xu Shulou was able to stand quietly in front of the hall and look at Lu Beichen. This was the first time she faced him in the dream world. His face was naturally no different from the real one, but he seemed much more confident here.

After all, without the "genius" and "elite" who had always been above him, Lu Beichen, whose edges had not yet been smoothed out, would naturally be more conceited.

He was slightly startled when he saw the overturned table and Xu Shulou who was standing in front of the hall with his hands on his hips looking at him. However, he was the leader of the sect after all, so he had to maintain his outward demeanor. He kept smiling and walked straight to the wedding hall.

When she was ten feet away from Xu Shulou, she said calmly: "Lu Beichen, do you know that I was poisoned by a love poison?"

She was afraid that she had made a mistake and the world had wronged him, so she asked this question specifically.

Lu Beichen paused, a very complicated look emerged in his eyes, and then he laughed: "Shu Lou, what nonsense are you talking about in front of so many guests? Don't make a fool of yourself."

There was no need for him to say more, Xu Shulou had already understood his guilty conscience from his momentary pause.

"Lu Beichen, draw your sword."

"What?" Lu Beichen still had a smile on his face, "Shu Lou, what are you doing?"

The folding fan in Xu Shulou's hand flashed and turned into the famous sword Quexie that had accompanied her in countless battles. She made a sword flower with one hand, unsheathed the long sword and pointed it directly at Lu Beichen's throat: "I asked you to draw the sword."

Lu Beichen smiled elegantly: "Shu Lou, if you like to practice sword, I will practice with you after the wedding banquet, which can also be regarded as the joy of the boudoir. But you are fooling around like this in front of everyone, which is a bit immature."

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you the youngest cultivator of this generation who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?" Xu Shulou raised his hand and threw out his long sword. "Let me see for myself."

Lu Beichen didn't take her sword seriously. He still had a helpless smile on his face and gave the guests an apologetic look. He was ready to dodge the sword when it was about to reach him. However, he didn't expect the sword to come at him with such force. He felt the sword energy and was startled. He quickly jumped away, but he was half a step too late. The sword cut off a strand of his hair. The sharp sword energy passed through his face, making him realize that if he didn't dodge, the sword would probably cut off half of his head.

Since entering the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Lu Beichen had been somewhat lost in the constant flattery. At this moment, the smile that was almost embedded in his face finally fell off, and his entire face was filled with astonishment: "How is this possible?!"

"How is it impossible?" Xu Shulou held the sword in one hand and walked down the stairs step by step. "Lu Beichen, I think you have been wandering for too long. Have you forgotten who was the number one person of this generation?"

“…”

Not only Lu Beichen was speechless, but also all the guests in the room.

It had been so long since the last moment, and everyone was silent for a long time before someone dug out this piece of past events from the depths of their memory.

"Yes," one of the guests whispered, "Back then, the name of Xu Shulou, the chief disciple of Mingyue Peak on Wuchen Island, did indeed resound throughout the cultivation world in another form."

Another form, everyone immediately understood what he meant, another form, a reputation that was not about chasing after men or begging for their mercy.

Someone nodded and said, "I still remember that the first disciple of Mingyue Peak was indeed outstanding and brilliant. Even though he was full of hatred and had a slightly weak character, his progress in cultivation was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Back then, I lamented that I didn't know why Mingzhu had been covered in dust. Now I think about it..."

Love Gu…Everyone immediately thought of something along the lines of what he said, and recalled what Xu Shulou had just said, “Do you know that I’ve been poisoned by a love Gu?”

Some people were horrified as if they smelled a huge conspiracy. If it was really the love poison that caused the genius to fall from the mortal world, then Lu Beichen was really lacking in virtue.

Of course, most people didn't believe it. Only at the main table, a man and a woman looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.

Someone stretched his neck across a table to ask Ji Ci: "Hey, aren't you also from Wuchen Island? Do you know what happened to Xu Shulou?"

"..." Ji Ci said nothing, just staring blankly at Xu Shulou not far away, unable to utter a word.

"Are you scared?" Xu Shulou looked at Lu Beichen, "This is Lingxiao Sect. Sect Master Lu can call for someone to protect you at any time."

A master of a clan in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, had to call for help when fighting with his concubine? Who among the heroes in the world would look up to him in the future? Lu Beichen was in a dilemma, but he was not panicked. He still habitually looked down on Xu Shulou and shouted to all the disciples, "We will fight alone, no one is allowed to come forward!"

"Then you are really courting death."

The two men drew their swords at the same time, the sword light was as fast as lightning, and the sword blades collided with each other, making a "clang" sound. Lu Beichen's palm shook, and he felt that the weapon in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, and he was shocked.

Xu Shulou did not give him time to think. She raised the sword in her hand, and it flew straight towards his face with a flash of cold light. Seeing that every sword she used was a killing move, Lu Beichen was shocked and angry. He was terrified at her strength, and angry at her cruelty. After all, she had just confessed her true feelings to him not long ago... Lu Beichen naturally did not have any deep feelings for her. Rather than hating her for her ruthlessness, he was angry that a person who had allowed him to do whatever he wanted suddenly escaped from his control.

"Since you don't care about feelings, don't blame my men for being merciless!" He dodged the sword and rushed forward.

This leap looked quite elegant, and some female cultivators at the banquet had already expressed their admiration. Unfortunately, in Xu Shulou's eyes, it was full of flaws. She spun around, blocked his sword with one hand, and kicked him out with her leg. Lu Beichen rolled down several steps before he managed to stabilize himself.

The female cultivator's praise did not stop in time, and immediately changed into an exclamation. Lu Beichen heard it and his face turned pale and blue.

Xu Shulou did not give him any room to breathe. He swung his sword one after another, and the sword lights intertwined like a net, covering him.

Lu Beichen didn't care about that anymore, he raised his hand and took out a magic weapon from the Qiankun Ring to protect himself. Now even the low-level cultivators who couldn't understand the fighting situation were able to tell who was better, one was attacking with a sword alone, and the other was forced to use a magic weapon to defend. Tsk tsk, don't say that Patriarch Lu was holding back on his concubine, no matter how stupid they were, they couldn't believe it.

Fan Yang, who was sitting at the main table, stood up nervously and wanted to step forward to help. The other guests noticed and immediately laughed, "What? Two against one? Elder Fan, are you going to help Patriarch Lu attack his concubine?"

An elder from the Lingxiao Sect who was sitting at the same table also grabbed him and said, "Hurry up and sit down. Isn't this embarrassing enough?"

“…”

Lu Beichen also figured it out. He was going to lose face today anyway, and it would be even more embarrassing if he lost. He might as well use his magic weapons one after another. He was lucky as he had accumulated a lot of powerful magic weapons over the years, and he forced Xu Shulou to retreat for a while.

All kinds of things, such as the torrential pear blossom needles, the poisonous fire miasma, and the Immortal Slaughtering Cauldron, were thrown at Xu Shulou at the same time. The other people from Lingxiao Gate had already covered their eyes, unable to bear to look at the expressions of the other guests.

These were not so bad, Xu Shulou could withstand them, but his defensive magic weapon that was flashing with fire was more troublesome. It was like a turtle shell, tightly protecting Lu Beichen inside. She could not attack the opponent and could only be slowly consumed.

But Xu Shulou was not panicked. She thought there would always be a way to break this thing. She jumped up and chopped down with a sword from mid-air, but the sword hit the cover and it actually made a bell sound.

"It's the Golden Bell Divine Fire Cover!" Of course, some of the guests knew the treasure. "I never thought that the magic weapon of the Hehuan Sect would end up in the hands of Sect Master Lu."

Someone pointed in the direction of Bai Roushuang and the other female relatives and said, "Look, the only surviving young woman from the Hehuan Sect went into his backyard. What's so strange about the magic weapon falling into his hands?"

Everyone was silent. After all, they were concerned about the Lingxiao Sect and were too embarrassed to say that Lu Beichen's actions had any intention of destroying the entire clan.

No one noticed that among the female relatives, the stunningly beautiful young lady clenched her fists and looked in the direction of Xu Shulou. The light in her eyes became brighter and brighter. Seeing that the sword light completely overwhelmed Lu Beichen's momentum, she suddenly shouted: "Attack his Xun position!"

Xun position? Xu Shulou dodged to the southeast corner of Lu Beichen and stabbed out with a sword. However, this sword encountered no obstacles and stabbed straight into Lu Beichen's panic-stricken face.

"Why are you glaring at me?" Luo Fusheng faced Fan Zhi's glare fearlessly. "Since he dared to use the magic weapon of my Hehuan Sect in front of me, he must bear the risk."

Fan Zhi raised her hand and slapped her without caring that someone was watching. Luo Fusheng had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care about that and just stared at the sword in Xu Shulou's hand.

Lu Beichen didn't react in time and was stepped on by Xu Shulou, and his sword was kicked away by her.

He looked very bad and hesitated whether to admit defeat, but Xu Shulou didn't give him the chance at all. He slashed down with his sword and chopped off his head cleanly.

Lu Beichen was covered in blood.

There was total silence all around, and everyone was in a daze. No one had expected that she would kill Lu Beichen. After all, everyone had seen her pestering him before today. No one had expected that she could really kill Lu Beichen, after all, the strength of a Tribulation Cultivator was there. And no one had expected that she would dare to kill Lu Beichen...

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, Xu Shulou had already lifted Lu Beichen's head with one hand, and stood on the highest platform and said loudly: "Xu Shulou hereby informs all the heroes in the world that Lu Beichen has committed crimes and done evil things, and he deserves the punishment. If anyone wants to avenge him, just draw a line!"

"..." Silence, total silence. Even the people from Lingxiao Sect were silent for a moment.

Xu Shulou made a gesture of invitation: "It's just right, everyone continue to eat at the banquet, as a farewell to Patriarch Lu."

"..." Wow, from the wedding banquet to the sacrificial banquet, they all ate at the same table. What a fresh and interesting experience. Even the most knowledgeable monks could not follow up on this.

At the main table, Fan Yang and Fan Zhi looked at each other with gloomy faces. As they were thinking of countermeasures, something was thrown onto the main table and the wine splashed all over their faces.

The two of them looked closely and realized that the thing was Lu Beichen's head.

Xu Shulou, who threw the head, was looking at them wildly: "What are you thinking? It's your turn now."
