Chapter 108 Demon Lord 108%
“…”
Xiao Xuelian successfully escaped from Chao Yuan.
She was escorted all the way back to the upper realm by Mo Xuanxiao's trusted confidants. By the time she arrived at the Wanmen Immortal Sect, it was already getting dark, as her wedding was tomorrow.
"Here she comes!" Qu Jingxian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Xuelian coming back.
At this point, with less than five hours until the wedding, they still had a lot of things to do. First, they took Xiao Xuelian to look at the wedding gown and phoenix crown. Qu Jingxian carefully took the wedding dress off the hanger and handed it to Xiao Xuelian, "Go try it on quickly."
The sizes of the wedding dresses were measured in advance, and the styles had also been discussed with Xiao Xuelian. Xiao Xuelian was not interested in these things, so she left it all to Qu Jingxian. Qu Jingxian could only guess her preferences with Qu Yushu.
"Do you like it?" After Xiao Xuelian came out after changing into her wedding dress, Qu Jingxian hurried forward.
Because of her sister's marriage, she and Qu Yushu hadn't slept well for several days, fearing any accidents. Xiao Xuelian still hadn't shown much interest in these things. She didn't even look in the mirror properly, and just casually replied, "I like it."
She doesn't really like it.
Qu Jingxian sighed and couldn't help but think of the day when Mo Xuanxiao came to her to talk about getting married. The man's gentle smile was full of joy from the bottom of his heart. After a hundred years of guarding, he was finally going to marry his beloved girl, but the girl he loved had lost her heart and had no idea what this wedding meant.
Seeing that the wedding dress was slightly loose on Xiao Xuelian, Qu Jingxian stepped forward to tighten her beaded belt. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Have you truly decided to marry Xuan Yao Tianzun?"
"It's decided." Xiao Xuelian felt that the phoenix crown was very heavy, so she wore it for only a while before having someone take it off and put it aside.
Qu Jingxian couldn't see the joy and shyness a girl should have when getting married in her eyes, so she couldn't help but ask, "What about Chao Yuan?"
"What does it have to do with him?" At the mention of Chao Yuan's name, Xiao Xuelian's expression finally wavered. She lowered her head, twitched her fingers, and muffled her voice, "Can you please stop mentioning him?"
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have to rely on marrying to escape.
Seeing her like this, Qu Jingxian suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted not trying to stop them. She had a bad feeling that tomorrow's wedding would not go smoothly.
Not only Qu Jingxian had a bad premonition, Mo Xuanxiao also had it.
The demons from the Eastern Demon Realm only stopped Chao Yuan for a moment, and the damage caused to him was not as great as that caused by Longquan. He is currently still on his way to the Wanmen Immortal Sect. Mo Xuanxiao will never allow him to ruin tomorrow's wedding, so he personally strengthened the defense barrier of the Wanmen Immortal Sect and set up an extremely powerful killing formation. As long as Chao Yuan dares to come, he will take his life.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With us here, we will never let the devil Chao Yuan get even a step closer!" Mo Xuanxiao's twelve disciples requested to be stationed outside the Immortal Ruins. They were the best among the younger generation in the world of immortal cultivation, with profound cultivation. They vowed to protect their master's wedding with their lives.
After doing all this, Mo Xuanxiao went to Xingyang Sect late at night to see if Qu Yaoyao was safe.
After traveling all night and going through another round of fittings, Xiao Xuelian was exhausted. As she dozed off, remembering the details of tomorrow's wedding, someone knocked softly on the door. Mo Xuanxiao whispered, "Yaoyao, are you asleep?"
Xiao Xuelian was only wearing the inner garment of her wedding gown. The bright red silk material draped tightly around her figure, accentuating her fair skin. She casually took off her wedding gown and draped it over her, letting the hem of the gown drag on the ground. She yawned and ran to open the door. "What's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Xuelian, who was calm and at peace in her wedding dress, Mo Xuanxiao's restless heart calmed down a little.
"It's okay." Mo Xuanxiao raised his hand uncontrollably, lightly brushed her hair, and said gently, "I just wanted to come see you."
Xiao Xuelian hid back and said, "If you have nothing else, go back quickly. Getting married is so annoying. I still have a lot of procedures to remember."
She was already very sleepy, but before Qu Jingxian left, she repeatedly told her to remember the procedures, so she could only resist the sleepiness. At this moment, her eyelids were fighting, her eyelashes were fluttering, and she kept rubbing her eyes. Her voice was soft and weak due to fatigue, and it sounded like a coquettish plea, "If I had known that getting married would be so troublesome, I would not have agreed to it..."
Mo Xuanxiao smiled when he heard this. "Just remember the general process. I'll take care of everything tomorrow. You don't have to worry too much."
He coaxed her, "It's just this once, and from now on you can do whatever you want with ease."
Xiao Xuelian felt better after hearing this, "Then I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's wedding."
As soon as the wedding was over, she returned to the cold pond and became her own little snow lotus again, closing her five senses and ignoring everyone.
.
Xiao Xuelian got married under the name of Fairy Yaolian.
It was not until the day of the wedding that everyone knew that the person Xuan Yao Tianzun was going to marry was actually Fairy Yao Lian. A hundred years had passed, and this name had long been tied to the Kunlun Mountain. Many cultivators who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation regarded her as a character in a storybook.
"So there really is a Fairy Yaolian in the world of immortal cultivation?"
"Isn't it rumored that the Immortal Master is going to marry Fairy Jingxian from Xingyang Sect? Look, the wedding procession is heading straight to Xingyang Sect, how could it be Fairy Yaolian?"
"What do you know?" A cultivator who knew the truth rolled his eyes. "Fairy Yaolian is Fairy Jingxian's younger sister. Her real name is Qu Yaoyao, and she is the younger sister of Xingyang Sect's leader, Qu Yushu. If Tianzun wants to marry her, he naturally has to go to Xingyang Sect to pick her up."
This is also the reason why after the news of Xuan Yao Tianzun's marriage was announced, the Xingyang Sect closed its doors and became busy along with the main sect.
"The auspicious time is almost here." Qu Jingxian had been looking out the door. She had changed into a beautiful pink dress and asked nervously, "Yushu, has the wedding procession arrived?"
"Here I am." Compared to Qu Jingxian's nervousness, Qu Yushu was much calmer. In fact, this was the second time he saw his sister get married.
Before, he could only stand in front of the crowd and watch silently. Now, as the leader of Xingyang Sect, he can finally stand beside his sister openly. He holds her hand and helps her slowly get on the sedan chair.
A gust of wind blew, fluttering Xiao Xuelian's wedding gown and lifting the veil on her phoenix crown. Qu Yushu accidentally met Xiao Xuelian's bright and clear eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then held her hand tightly and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Xiao Xuelian replied: "I'm not nervous."
This wasn't the first time she'd met Qu Yushu, but it was the first time they'd spoken. At this point, she boldly asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Qu Yushu."
Qu Yushu helped her adjust her veil and said softly, "You can call me brother."
In fact, with the burning of Qu Yaoyao's original body, Xiao Xuelian is now just Xiao Xuelian and has no relationship with their Qu family.
Xiao Xuelian said "oh" and repeated in a crisp voice: "Brother."
"Yeah." Qu Yushu agreed, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xuelian's veiled face. He couldn't help but feel dazed, recalling when he first met Xiao Xuelian, she would call him "brother" sweetly and without burden, which was the biggest difference from the real Qu Yaoyao.
"It's already late, and you're still in the mood to chat." Qu Jingxian stepped forward, tiptoed to lower the curtains on the sedan chair, and quickly instructed Xiao Xuelian, "It's very close from Xingyang Sect to the main sect, but the sedan chair will fly very slowly. Don't worry, this is all normal procedure. When we get there, sit in the carriage and don't move. Wait for someone to come forward to help you out before getting out. The rest will be left to Xuan Yao Tianzun, he will take good care of you."
"Oh, by the way, there will be a lot of people on the field, so don't panic."
"Also, have you memorized the procedures for the Heavenly Sacrifice? I specially wrote down a small note for you. If you forget, just look at it in the car. When you get there, make sure no one sees you. There's one more thing..."
Bang--
The auspicious time has arrived.
As the gongs struck, firecrackers hung in front of the main hall crackled, drowning out Qu Jingxian's voice. A beautiful crane flapped its wings, pulling the sedan chair into the air. Qu Jingxian sighed and stamped her foot, saying, "I haven't finished explaining yet."
Xiao Xuelian had no time to say anything more to them. She could only lift the curtain and wave goodbye to them. She looked heartless and didn't feel any reluctance to leave them, as if she was just out for a trip.
"Let's go." Seeing the sedan chair disappear, Qu Yushu pulled Qu Jingxian. They had to arrive at the main sect before the sedan chair entered the main sect.
Qu Jingxian followed Qu Yushu for two steps, her face full of worry. She turned her head and saw Qu Yushu's expression was indifferent. She couldn't help but complain: "How can you be a brother like this? You don't even care about your sister getting married."
"Is this what you consider caring?"
Qu Yushu glanced at her and said casually, "Don't worry, this wedding won't happen. Even if it does, it won't last long."
A marriage built on lies and illusions may seem gorgeous and beautiful, but in fact it will break at the slightest touch and cannot withstand any damage.
"Bah!" Qu Jingxian knew what Qu Yushu meant, and she spat several times and angrily called him a jinx. Qu Yushu just smiled and didn't argue with her, letting her argue in her ear.
The interesting thing is that she herself didn't believe this marriage would be possible. After walking out of the crowd, she lost her hypocritical smile, lowered her eyes and asked, "Do you think... Chao Yuan will really show up?"
"Who knows?"
Qu Yushu curled his lips indifferently, "Mo Xuanxiao has already laid a tight net here. If he really comes in front of so many cultivators, even if he stops this wedding, it will be difficult for him to escape."
If you don't come, you will have to watch Qu Yaoyao marry someone else.
If you come here, you will only be seeking your own death and struggling to survive.
Of course Chao Yuan had to come.
He had worked so hard to raise Xiaohua, but he hadn't even married her yet, so how could he allow her to marry someone else? Even though he was hit by the Dragon Spring and his strength was greatly reduced after the injury, he would fight to the death to stop this wedding and tear off Qu Yaoyao's red veil with his own hands.
When the sedan chair arrived outside the main sect gate, Chao Yuan had already arrived at the foot of the Wanmen Immortal Sect mountain.
When Xiao Xuelian came out of the sedan chair and was held by Mo Xuanxiao's hand, the demon army rushed into the immortal gate, and Chao Yuan forcibly broke the killing formation set up by Mo Xuanxiao.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuelian felt that Mo Xuanxiao's hand holding his hand suddenly tightened.
Mo Xuanxiao felt the numerous killing arrays shattered, and gave Xiao Xuelian a forced smile, reassuring her, "Nothing."
The marriage of cultivators does not have as many rituals as that of mortals in the lower realms. The most important thing for them is to offer sacrifices to heaven and drink the wedding wine. On the high altar, Mo Xuanxiao took Xiao Xuelian's hand and walked step by step to the highest point. After the two of them kowtowed with incense, they stood up and picked up the wine cup handed to them by the elder.
"After drinking the wedding wine, the ceremony is complete."
Mo Xuanxiao was the first to pick up the wine cup. Seeing Xiao Xuelian standing still, he couldn't help but call out, "Yaoyao?"
Xiao Xuelian regained consciousness and looked down at the platform, where she saw countless people looking up at them. At the front of the crowd, she spotted Qu Jingxian and Qu Yushu. Continuing to look back, she saw a long red carpet running down the middle of the road. The festive color snaked to the other side of the road, with no end in sight.
What was she hesitating about? Xiao Xuelian herself didn't know.
When Mo Xuanxiao urged her for the second time, she slowly raised her hand to take the wine cups on the tray. At this moment, the earth trembled and made a sharp buzzing sound. All the porcelain wine cups shattered. Xiao Xuelian missed and watched them shatter into pieces and fall to the ground.
"What happened?" Everyone was a little unsteady.
Xiao Xuelian's body was shaking, she staggered a few steps and almost fell down. Suddenly, she heard a loud explosion and the altar in front of them shattered into pieces.
"Yaoyao!" Mo Xuanxiao stepped forward and held Xiao Xuelian in his arms in time.
Amidst the chaos, countless killing arrays around the altar glowed and activated. Low laughter spread throughout the surroundings, and someone asked in a low voice, "Such a great and happy event, why didn't the Heavenly Venerable invite me?"
In the center of the killing array, a slender figure in white gradually emerged. The man was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled. The white fingers covering his forehead were stained with blood, and blood dripped from his wrists into his sleeves.
"It's Demon Lord Chao Yuan!"
"How could he appear here?!"
Amid the crowd's exclamations, Chao Yuan slowly lowered his hands and heard someone angrily scold, "The Heavenly Lord is so happy, why did he invite a devil like you?"
"What are you doing here!"
What is he doing here?
Lifting his drooping eyelashes, Chao Yuan scanned the crowd with his scarlet-gold eyes, finally resting them on the platform. He looked up at the two newlyweds in wedding attire and murmured softly, "What else could I be here for?"
"Of course it's because—"
"Bridal Robbery."
The author has something to say: Chao Yuan: Is this chapter cool?
