Chapter 51
"In that case, I will wait until the day after tomorrow."
Li Ziqing knew that her actions were somewhat inappropriate.
However, he had already lost Yingning once in the mortal realm, so this time, he needed to immediately keep her by his side.
He wouldn't allow himself to lose her again, and he wouldn't allow anyone who shouldn't be in her life, like Wen Chaosheng, to appear in her future.
He remembered that she and Wen Chaosheng had a close relationship when they were alive.
Many times, when I couldn't find her, I would always find her at Wen Chaosheng's place.
This time, he absolutely cannot let go.
The two sat by the still pond, and for a moment they fell silent.
*
The third day passed in the blink of an eye, and elders from all the sects in the Immortal Realm came to observe the ceremony.
Although a lot of complicated rituals had been omitted, and only Yingning and Li Ziqing went to the Marriage Stone, Li Ziqing's status in the Immortal Realm still allowed them to see many people watching the ceremony at the Marriage Stone.
Yingning glanced at Li Ziqing from the side and noticed that he looked different today.
He wasn't wearing his usual celestial robes today, but rather a dark red robe with cloud-patterned sleeves, similar in color to his own dress. From a distance, one might mistake them for wearing mortal wedding attire.
His handsome features, set against the dark red background, also gave the illusion of being consumed by worldly desires.
Li Ziqing seemed to notice Ying Ning's gaze as she looked her over, so she turned her head and comforted her:
"They are all just spectators, there's no need to be nervous."
"Um."
Yingning mumbled something, then followed him toward the Marriage Stone.
The scrutinizing gazes from those around him were quite obvious.
The elder of the Beast Taming Sect nudged Elder Yunlin of the Heavenly Sword Cliff and joked, "What a pity, your Wen Chaosheng has no chance."
"What a lovely little girl."
"Go away, go away, don't talk nonsense here." Yun Lin waved his hand dismissively, clearly disgusted with the Beast Taming Sect elder.
However, when he mentioned Wen Chaosheng, Yunlin felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Since Chao Sheng's ordeal a few days ago, he has been acting strangely, looking rather forlorn all the time. After hearing about Ying Ning's situation, he seems to have come to the Sword Sect that day.
Yunlin thought back carefully and realized that Wen Chaosheng had been staying in his room all day. Occasionally, when he was outside, Yunlin could hear him fiddling with the Heavenly Secrets Disc.
What exactly happened?
Yunlin pondered for a moment, while Yingning and Li Ziqing had almost reached the vicinity of the Marriage Stone.
Near the Marriage Stone, a tall figure with a light veil covering her face was none other than Xi Yunliu.
His gaze was now fixed unabashedly on Ying Ning, a strange look in his eyes, as if he were waiting for the next good show.
Li Ziqing stopped in front of the Marriage Stone, transformed his spiritual power into a blade, and carved his name on the Marriage Stone: Li Ziqing.
His handwriting is elegant and stylish, just like him.
"A-Ning." He called Ying Ning's name softly and handed her the spirit blade.
Yingning took it, raised her hand and stopped on the marriage stone, about to carve her name, when she heard an angry female voice shout:
"Wait!"
Ying Ning put down the spirit blade, and the handsome man in black beside her had a gloomy expression.
The newcomer was none other than Dan Yao. She looked extremely nervous, fearing that she hadn't arrived in time and that the surrounding Sword Sect members would recognize her.
"Dan Yao, what brings you here?"
Some people in the Sword Sect still remembered that she had been punished with confinement not long ago, and wondered what she was doing here with such a tense expression.
"I have important matters to report to the elders of all sects!" Dan Yao shouted loudly.
Today's ceremony is an opportunity to thoroughly crush Feng Yingning!
An elder from the Sword Sect said, "If you have anything to say, you can report it to the sect after the ceremony."
The ceremony was now halfway through, and Dan Yao's interruption at this point was indeed somewhat against the rules.
"No, Elder Li, because the matter Dan Yao reported is related to one of the people who formed a celestial bond today!"
As soon as she said that, everyone's expression changed.
This celestial bond was formed by Immortal Venerable Li Ziqing and his disciple.
It seems Dan Yao has something to report that relates to the two parties involved today.
Dan Yao looked towards the Marriage Stone and saw Li Ziqing in a dark red robe. Jealousy in her eyes almost surged forth.
Then he looked at Yingning, only to meet her indifferent gaze.
It seems they already know what she's going to do.
Dan Yao didn't know why she had this feeling, but a surge of hatred welled up in her heart. She thought that when Feng Yingning was despised by everyone later, she probably wouldn't have such a look in her eyes anymore.
She was really looking forward to seeing Feng Ying's expression at that time.
Before the Sword Sect elders could speak, Dan Yao said directly:
"Elders, it has recently been discovered that some disciples in the Immortal Realm have had their immortal souls devoured!"
She revealed what various sects had been investigating these past few days, drawing everyone's attention and sparking a lively discussion.
"My disciple is still unconscious," a female elder from the Tianyin Sect sighed.
"Another one of our disciples was murdered the day before yesterday. Who is harming these disciples?!"
"Your sect has them too? When I saw you the day before yesterday, didn't you say that you had specifically told the disciples to be careful recently?"
"But last night we discovered the body of one of our disciples; he was already dead when we found him..."
......
The surrounding area erupted in a noisy discussion.
Although the matter of disciples having their immortal souls devoured was not discussed openly, the elders of these sects had already been discussing it privately for some time.
The immortal soul is the source of an immortal. To have one's immortal soul devoured is equivalent to having one's internal organs taken away by another.
Such a heinous thing has never happened in the Immortal Realm!
"Dan Yao, don't talk nonsense here!" The Sword Sect elder warned her. If she continued to talk nonsense, the Sword Sect would be left on a cliff.
She even directly pointed to the two people who had formed a celestial bond today.
"Elder Li, whether Dan Yao is talking nonsense or not, all the elders can go to the location where the disciple was killed, or examine the recent disciple's corpse. If there are any flames carrying the aura of the demon realm, then it will be clear."
Dan Yao had already arranged everything.
In the Immortal Realm, the only person who carries the aura of the demon race and flames is Feng Yingning, who escaped from the Demon Cave!
As soon as she spoke, the elders of various sects began to whisper among themselves, and some elders had already sent their disciples to their sects to investigate.
Dan Yao wore a smug look on her face, accepting everyone's scrutiny with complete composure.
He happened to see Li Ziqing looking at him, his gaze unusually dark.
She was startled, then quickly reassured herself:
It's alright, it's alright. As long as Master knows about Feng Yingning's situation, he won't form a celestial bond with her.
She was already confident of victory.
Before long, a disciple of Tianjian Cliff, who was closest to the Marriage Stone, hurriedly returned and went to his elder's side, whispering something in his ear.
That elder,
