"Bow to Heaven and Earth—" The Great Elder chanted the ceremony loudly, and the sound echoed in the square of the hall. Shen Nan pulled Liu Ling hard, forcing her to bend down towards the sky and earth. Liu Ling was full of reluctance, but she thought of the safety of her master and fellow disciples, so she could only grit her teeth and let Shen Nan do whatever he wanted.
"Second bow to the parents—" Shen Liefeng sat upright in the main seat, a satisfied smile on his face as he watched the newlyweds bow to him. He seemed to have seen the Yanyang Alliance's status on Uranus highlighted by this marriage.
Throughout the main hall square, countless guests' eyes were fixed on the newlyweds, awaiting the final "couple's greetings." However, at this moment, a bone-chilling murderous intent, like a surging tide, instantly enveloped the entire Xuanyang City. The temperature plummeted as if struck by an extreme cold storm, and everyone shuddered, as if trapped in an ice cellar.
"Who dares to cause trouble in our Yanyang League?" Shen Liefeng and many of the Yanyang League elders quickly soared into the sky like frightened birds. The surrounding guests also stood up immediately and looked into the void, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
Liu Ling took advantage of the panic of the crowd, broke free from her restraints, rushed to the door of the hall, and looked outside anxiously. However, she had just run a few steps when she was grabbed tightly by Shen Nan.
A streak of light shot towards them from afar like lightning. In the blink of an eye, a young man appeared proudly before them, his hands clasped behind his back. The blast of air he unleashed was like a tidal wave, sweeping Shen Liefeng and several elders away like ants. Their bodies slammed into the magnificent palace below like cannonballs, instantly creating several massive holes. With deafening roars, fragments of the palace flew everywhere.
"Yu Kai!" Liu Ling shouted excitedly from below, her eyes filled with surprise and worry. She hadn't expected Yu Kai to become so powerful in just a few decades. But when she thought of the Yanyang Alliance still having its ancestor in charge, her heart leaped into her throat, and she felt extremely anxious.
Shen Nan's face instantly became extremely ugly. In shock and anger, he even tried to reach out to grab Liu Ling. Yu Kai looked at him coldly, and a sharp sword light suddenly shot out of his eyes, like a dazzling lightning, directly and accurately piercing Shen Nan's head.
Shen Nan's eyes widened, filled with horror and disbelief. He could never have imagined that he would die so easily. Yu Kai didn't even bother to say a word to him before taking his life. His body staggered, and with a heart full of resentment, he fell straight down, "bang", and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the guests and servants around them were immediately terrified and fled in all directions like frightened birds. "Nan'er, my Nan'er!" Shen Liefeng struggled to crawl out of the ruins, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his body in a state of disarray, and he no longer looked as high-spirited as before. He ran towards Shen Nan's body, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Several other elders also struggled to crawl out of the ruins, their faces covered in dust. They clutched their wounds, enduring the pain, swords in hand, and cautiously approached Shen Liefeng in the main hall. Countless disciples of the Yanyang League converged on this area, swords drawn, like a tide. However, seeing Yu Kai's powerful and ruthless appearance, they were all in awe and did not dare to attack him easily.
Yu Kai stretched out his hand and an invisible force pulled Liu Ling, and her body flew towards him uncontrollably.
"Ah... Kill this pair of bastards!" Shen Liefeng hugged Shen Nan's body tightly, his eyes red and his teeth gnashing as he roared. He had just carefully examined Shen Nan and found that he was completely dead, not even a trace of his soul was left. This was his only son, the flesh and blood of him and his beloved Anan. Now that his son had died tragically, how could he face Anan who had already passed away! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel grief in his heart and burst into tears.
Although the other elders and disciples feared Yu Kai, they dared not disobey Shen Liefeng's orders. So, one after another, they gritted their teeth and attacked. Countless sword beams flashed with cold light, streaking through the air like dense raindrops, slashing fiercely at Liu Ling.
Seeing this, Liu Ling panicked. Yu Kai, however, soared to his feet like lightning, firmly embracing her. Facing the swift, hurricane-like sword beams, Yu Kai remained calm. With a flick of his right hand, a brilliant golden light emanated from him, like a dragon emerging from the sea. The sword beams were instantly swept back by the golden light. "Boom!" A deafening roar echoed through the sky. The powerful impact caused the void to tremble like the surface of a lake, rippling through it. Countless disciples, struck by the returning sword beams, roared in agony, and fell in large numbers. Several elders, shaken back by the overwhelming force, retreated repeatedly, their eyes filled with terror.
Yu Kai glided in the air for a distance before he finally stabilized his body. He looked down at Liu Ling in his arms, his eyes softening instantly, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Liu Ling looked up at Yu Kai's face, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried to force a smile, her voice trembling slightly: "I'm fine!"
"Boy, this girl is pretty good and has unique vision! You two are a perfect match standing together!" The Array-Devouring Beast on Yu Kai's shoulder looked at Liu Ling and teased.
"Senior, Miss Liu Ling is my savior!" Yu Kai said with gratitude.
Only then did Liu Ling notice the Formation-Devouring Beast on his shoulder. Her face flushed slightly and she looked a little shy.
"Liu Ling, right? I am this kid's elder, you can call me the Devouring Emperor!" The Devouring Beast proudly raised its head high and introduced itself seriously.
"Hello, Senior Shidi!" Liu Ling said softly.
At this moment, Yu Kai felt a terrifying force like a tidal wave surging from below. Without hesitation, he tightly protected Liu Ling behind him. Liu Ling, in turn, clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, looking down with a worried look on her face.
Across from them, an old man approached with steady steps. Liu Ling recognized him instantly and said anxiously, "He's Chi Yan, the Supreme Elder of the Yanyang League. He wields the Burning Heart Sword. He rarely uses his weapons, but his strength is beyond imagination. Last time, he even killed five elders of our Huanxing Sect in a single blow. You should leave now!" She was terrified, fearing that something bad might happen to Yu Kai.
However, Yu Kai did not take it to heart, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, he is just a high-level Venerable!" He knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this primitive world where the strong are respected, he must severely suppress the major forces of Uranus, otherwise anyone might treat him as a soft persimmon and take advantage of him at will in the future.
