Old Wu was genuinely just attending his son's wedding, and he was also feeling resentful for going against ancestral teachings.
But the key point is that the person who sent the message talisman to Sheng Lingxiao was Qing Ruo, the mother-in-law of Yi Boqi.
That was a person who gave Qing Chenzi a headache and made him fearful; how could he possibly act without any purpose?
From the moment Sheng Lingxiao was amazed that she could deduce everything with a simple hand gesture, that's what Huang Boqi's mother-in-law truly wanted to do.
It was to design a very reasonable way for Yun Qinliancheng to die.
It's just as reasonable as her Xiao Feng'er designing a way for Yun Liandu to die.
In the past, there were two great families in the imperial land who were not known for their martial prowess. One was the Wu family, which established itself through battle formations, and the other was the Qing family, which was famous for its divination techniques.
However, the final fates of these two families were quite similar. If it weren't for Xie Laoxie's intervention to save the Qing family, the Qing family would be no different from the Wu family now.
Wu Daoyong is the only surviving member of the Wu family, and even Yun Qinliancheng is unaware of his descendants.
Wu Daoyong only knew that he was a descendant of the Wu family, but he had no further memories. He did not know how the Wu family was destroyed, nor did he know where the Wu family's legacy lay.
But Ye Boqi's mother-in-law knew.
She not only knew where the Wu family's heritage lay, but also knew how to bring out Sheng Lingxiao's strongest fighting power.
So Old Wu disobeyed the ancestral teachings, stole Yun Qinliancheng's natal imperial weapon and came to the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect, and then that natal imperial weapon turned back into the giant hammer, a sacred artifact of the Witch Clan.
Then Old Wu learned about the Wu family's past, and then he and Sheng Lingxiao arrived.
In Qingruo's words, my Qi'er has worked too hard.
What does "too hard work" mean?
It means that you shouldn't do things yourself if you can have someone else do them, because it's too hard on your mother and she'll feel bad for you.
A mother-in-law is still a mother. She can kill him cleanly with a few simple magic spells. Why should my son Qi'er have to risk his life for her?
What's the point of all that loud, booming explosions?
The best option is for Lao Wu and Sheng Lingxiao to act at the same time. Qingruo has calculated that with Yun Qinliancheng's sinister nature, he will definitely activate the great formation to kill the people.
This wasn't something that was predicted; it was exactly what they knew he would do.
Old Wu was able to retrieve the Wu family's heritage the moment the formation was activated, thus reversing the formation and trapping Yun Qinliancheng in place.
They couldn't escape. The imperial weapon was gone, so they couldn't draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao. The Yunqin Sword Formation, which they relied on for their fame, came from the Wu family. In addition, there was Sheng Lingxiao, who was empowered by the aura of the Witch Ancestor and wielded a sacred giant hammer.
Yun Qinliancheng's death was destined to be far more humiliating than Yun Liandu's.
Through this battle, Sheng Lingxiao was able to refine all the scattered ancestral witch energy, and the vast national fortune of the Sea of National Fortune would then become the property of my Qi'er.
That makes perfect sense.
The area above the imperial palace, sealed off by the array, resounded with a deafening roar mixed with Yun Qinliancheng's furious shouts; the sound alone was enough to make it clear.
Sheng Lingxiao was having a great time, while Yun Qinliancheng... that angry yet pained sound came from him.
Dongfang Lu and Huang Jiubo stood side by side on the ground of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
“I’ve said it before, Qi’er’s strength is not just his own, but also something you can’t even imagine or do.”
Dongfang Lu glanced at the battlefield in mid-air and shrugged at Uncle Jiu.
“This witch clan boy was a backup plan left by my father, but this descendant of the Wu family is not. The boy’s mother-in-law was not part of my father’s plan either, but these two are more terrifying than this witch clan boy.”
He finished speaking and sighed softly.
"I've been in Yunqin for so many years, and I always thought that killing Yunqin Liancheng would be a grand spectacle, and that I would have to use my strongest power to kill him. But who would have thought that the dignified Emperor Ancestor of the Heavenly Dynasty was defeated by a young man like a wooden stake, without any power to fight back? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it to be true."
Dongfang Lu shrugged again.
"The formation belongs to them, the sword formation belongs to them, and the natal imperial weapon belongs to them. It's perfectly reasonable for them to be cornered and slammed on the head with a sledgehammer right now. That's what I've always said: Qi'er has things that you don't, and your father couldn't have predicted them either. That's the variable."
Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement, then looked at Dongfang Lu with curiosity.
"You shrug before you even speak, making yourself look like that brat Xiao Jiu. Looks like you've met my Aunt Rou. So, when are you getting married?"
He chuckled after saying that.
"Daqi is very rich now, so it's easy for him to hold a grand wedding."
Dongfang Lu shrugged again, but after he finished, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"No wonder that old fellow Qingchenzi said that you can't stay in Daqi for too long, or you'll definitely pick up Daqi's bad habits."
Then he looked at Uncle Yi Jiu.
"It seems you've finally let go of your burdens and truly decided to be Qi'er's supporter."
Uncle Jiu also shrugged, just like Dongfang Lu.
"You convinced me."
Just as the two were chatting, a strange aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, and the two looked over at the same time.
"What I need to do now is to help Qi'er get rid of some unsavory things, and let the rest take its course. At the very least, I will not hold Qi'er back."
Dongfang Lu nodded; this was also what he was thinking.
Once a person's inner knot is untied, the whole person will change. After listening to what Yi Boqi said, she went straight back to Wuji Temple.
None of the anticipated embarrassment occurred. None of the disciples recognized him, and Senior Sister Mingyue was happy about his return, but she had no other emotions.
A fool's self-inflicted troubles can be deadly. He had unnecessarily caused Mingrou to wait for him for so many years. Once the knot in his heart was cleared up, his entire mental state was completely different.
