Chapter 94 The Night Before the Wedding

The old ancestor was determined to die.

The bride and groom are not allowed to meet on the eve of their wedding.

According to custom, one should not meet after the betrothal ceremony, but since there is no concept of the Three Letters and Six Rites in the divine realm, and since there are no elders on either side to handle the matter, they only focus on the wedding procession and the wedding banquet.

That night, Di Jiang stayed in the capital city of the Ten Realms, while Jiu You waited at the abandoned house for him to come and fetch her the next day.

The two will get married in the royal city, then circle the city and return to their abandoned house.

The master of ceremonies in charge of the wedding banquet said, "In the past, after the ceremony, you two should have stayed in the royal city, and the wedding room should have been set up there. However, the lord was afraid that you would not be used to it, saying that you were used to living in the deserted house, so we will return here as usual."

At this point, he couldn't help but praise, "Your Majesty thinks of everything for you, not only your residence, but also the details of your wedding, every arrangement, big or small, he goes through it all. In all my tens of thousands of years, I have never seen such a meticulous monarch. You have truly found a good husband."

Duan Jiuyou nestled on the daybed, sipping tea with a beaming smile on his face, showing no shyness and his eyes brimming with open affection.

"I also think he's a good person."

The ceremony master then discussed some details about tomorrow with Jiuyou, and it was clear that he had tried to simplify things as much as possible.

Duan Jiuyou secretly memorized the process. He rarely had the leisure to chat with people, so he chatted for a full half hour before having the ceremony sent out.

The disciples of the Ao Sect could all see that their ancestor was in a very good mood, but she herself was unaware of it, only feeling a vague sense of pleasure.

It felt like being bathed in bright candlelight, having had a couple of drinks, feeling slightly tipsy, moving with light steps, and even a little tempted to dance.

Thinking this, Duan Jiuyou actually hugged the finished wedding dress and held it up against himself, then happily twirled around.

Time passes silently.

The night before becoming a bride was incredibly long for Duan Jiuyou; he would suddenly wake up mid-sleep.

An octagonal lantern remained in the room, lit when she last woke up. She couldn't sleep, her mind wandering, as if she wanted to go through everything about tomorrow in her head.

One moment it's the emperor welcoming the bride, the next it's her leaving her own home, and then it's the two of them standing side by side, laughing happily.

at the same time.

In the dead of night, when no one was watching, Di Jiang quietly led his men out of the Ten Realms.

The Heavenly Sea Stone Gate could no longer contain the Great Wilderness Lord, whose primordial spirit had greatly recovered. Thirty thousand Wilderness Clan soldiers poured out and followed the Wilderness Lord into the territory of Dragon Breath Mountain.

This is the main camp of the Heavenly Ascension Dragon Clan. Bai Yanxing's six forces have all gathered here for tomorrow's battle of the Ten Realms.

Unfortunately, someone infiltrated the military camp first and set it on fire. Five thousand of Xue Ciyi's soldiers were mixed in with the flames, and the towering fire ignited the long, quiet night.

The emperor watched from the sidelines, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Bai Yanxing seemed to sense something and looked into the depths of the night.

A group of people could be vaguely seen there. The leader, dressed in a black robe, had the same cold arrogance in his eyes as the "young wolf" he had previously observed.

The moon peeked out from behind the clouds, illuminating the cold and sinister face of a young man.

Bai Yanxing had fought against Di Jiang for many years, and each time they met, Di Jiang was in his Dharma form. This was the first time he had seen Di Jiang in his "human form".

Their eyes met, and Bai Yanxing smiled faintly: "It's rare to see you show your true self to others."

Di Jiang sighed, "I'm getting married, but I don't plan to invite you to the ceremony. So, before you die, I'll let you see what I look like."

"Get married?" Bai Yanxing was taken aback. He hadn't expected that he and Jiuyou had reached this point. His expression was slightly dejected, but he felt more indignant for Jiuyou.

"You tricked Jiuyou into helping you rebel by claiming to be the chosen one, and even tried to entice her to marry you? Have you ever considered how she would react if she knew the truth? Aren't you afraid she'll hate you?"

—When did I ever intend to deceive her? If Xue Ciyi hadn't acted on his own initiative and made this rash move, I wouldn't be in this predicament!

Di Jiang cursed inwardly, but there was no need for Bai Yanxing to know the inside story.

"Is Young Master Huang in the Hall of Diligent Governance?" he asked Bai Yanxing. "Kill him, then wipe out the Tian Sheng clan. Tell me, who in this world can tell Jiu You that I lied to her?"

The reason why the gods of the Heavenly Realm feared Emperor Jiang was not only because of his power, but also because he acted decisively and would not allow any danger to lurk around him. He would kill them all and eliminate them completely!

Bai Yanxing said, "What about the Ao Sect of the Great Qi? I already informed the disciples of the Ao Sect before I came to the Six Ministries' camp. Are you going to eliminate them all as well?"

"After you left, Xue Ciyi used a magic array to control Earth Breath Mountain. After I finish dealing with this place, I will rush to the mountain to use the Forgetfulness Curse to erase their memories." At this point, Di Jiang tilted his head and said to Bai Yanxing, "You should die."

He didn't have much time; he had to go back to fetch his bride.

—And what about Feifei?

Bai Yanxing smiled inwardly.

Feifei can deliver messages across all barriers in the world; judging by the time, it should be time by now.

...

When Feifei entered the tenth realm, Duan Jiuyou had just sat down in front of the bronze mirror.

She couldn't sleep. There were still two hours until the wedding. With nothing to do, she started to do her makeup. Suddenly, Feifei burst in, startling Jiuyou so much that the eyebrow pencil she was using fell to the ground.

Feifei exclaimed, "Ancestor, this is incredible!"

Feifei always had a similar opening line whenever she appeared, which made Duan Jiuyou somewhat dislike her.

She picked up the snail-shaped ink again, and while drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror, she said to Feifei, "I will be getting married early tomorrow morning. I don't want to hear any bad news. If it is related to the Dragon Clan, please keep it to ourselves for now. We'll talk about everything after my wedding."

Bai Yanxing was a meticulous person, and sooner or later he would see the flaw in the wolf cub. Feifei's appearance at this time must mean that something had happened on the Heavenly Realm side.

War between the two races is inevitable. The Imperial Territory has recovered greatly, and no matter what the Dragon Clan does, it will not threaten the Wilderness Clan.

Like Di Jiang, she did not want anyone to disturb the wedding, no matter what the Dragon Clan did today.

The Tianhai Stone Gate can block out these disturbances; everything can wait until after the wedding.

But Feifei shook her head.

"It's not the Dragon Clan, it's you! You can't marry Di Jiang, he's been lying to you from beginning to end! The destiny of the Heavenly Lord is a lie, Little Master Huang was bribed by the Desolate Clan, Di Jiang led his troops to surround the Six Military Camps, and Dixi Mountain was also controlled by Xue Ciyi. Our people were trapped in the magic array, only I escaped!"

Duan Jiuyou slowly lowered his hand from applying eyebrow makeup, and a stunned face was reflected in the bronze mirror: "What did you say?"

...

The Six Military Camps of Longxi Mountain.

The Dragon Clan had already withstood five consecutive fierce attacks from the Wilderness Clan. Bai Yanxing, his robes stained with blood, used his body as a shield to firmly protect the Heavenly Ascension Soldiers behind him.

The barbarian warriors had been unable to break through the defenses for a long time, while the imperial forces had not yet made a move.

He stood atop Dragon's Breath Mountain, overlooking the entire battle.

He didn't enjoy the cat-and-mouse game, nor was he basking in the superiority of being stronger than the weaker enemy; he was simply thinking about how to deal with these people.

Killing them all would be the simplest way, but it would be difficult to explain to Jiuyou. She had always hoped that he could show leniency towards Tiansheng. If not a single one was left, she was afraid she would blame him for being too ruthless.

In Jiuyou's eyes, he was a person who "reformed his ways." Although Dijiang thought this statement was ridiculous, had he really not changed in subtle ways?

He looked at Bai Yanxing in the midst of the battle.

A few days ago, he had stood before Yuan Chi with less than 60% of his broken primordial spirit in order to retrieve the souls of the Wilderness Clan soldiers. He understood Bai Yanxing's perseverance at this moment.

In another moment, the innocent people who died unjustly in Wankushan flashed before his eyes, along with the sharp blades raised by the Tiansheng Imperial Guards. If he spared their lives, how could these souls who died unjustly find solace?

With a flick of his wrist, Emperor Jiang produced a handful of blue flames, gazing at the God-Slaying Flame in his palm.

If thrown down, both Bai Yanxing and the six Heavenly Ascension soldiers will perish here.
