The city lord's mansion is very large, and the majority of the people there are from the far north, but there are also some spiritual cultivators from all over the world.
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
"My God, that wealthy businessman, Young Master Gu! I never expected to run into him in this far northern capital."
Some people hadn't even realized what was going on yet, "Which one are you talking about, Young Master Gu?"
"It's that one over there in the blue brocade robe."
"Wow~ I think he looks so gentle, he's exactly the kind of husband I've always dreamed of."
"I wish I were half as rich as him."
"·····"
Ye Qingchen stared straight at Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng indeed spotted Ye Qingchen in the crowd, looked around for a moment, and then quietly approached the group.
"Master Feng, Qingchen, Xiao Jiu is in the City Lord's Mansion. I'm sorry, I was placed under house arrest here by Hua Shi'an yesterday and was unable to deliver the message in time," Gu Qingfeng said apologetically.
Seeing that they had all arrived, they must have guessed it.
"Yes, we guessed it too!"
"Young Master Gu, have you seen Miss?" Qingling asked.
“No.” Gu Qingfeng shook his head and added, “Gu Shi’an is too cautious. He didn’t remove the formation even after the wedding.”
Feng Che only told him to go back to his original position and act according to the situation, since he was attracting too much attention.
They are currently at a disadvantage. Without spiritual power, they are just like ordinary people. How can they fight against Hua Shi'an? They can only pray that Yingyue can break the formation quickly so that they can take action.
More and more guests arrived at the courtyard, and Hua Shi'an continued to entertain them.
In an instant.
Something had severed his connection with him, and Hua Shi'an's face darkened.
Feng Che and the others were overjoyed. The feeling of being bound was gone. Ying Yue had broken the formation. She truly lived up to her reputation as a member of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
Upon seeing this, Feng Che leaped into the air, and an invisible pressure spread out. Those with weak cultivation immediately coughed up blood, and some even fainted on the spot. Those with higher cultivation turned deathly pale, and naturally, they were in no better shape.
Hua Shi'an squinted, a few beads of sweat on his face. He hadn't expected that someone could break the formation, even though that person had clearly said that no one but him could.
He stared at Feng Che with a sinister look in his eyes, completely ignoring everyone else, and asked in a gloomy tone, "Why do you want to cause trouble at my wedding?"
"Heh~ Stop pretending to be stupid. Hand over Xiao Jiu, or I won't hesitate to massacre the capital of the far north!"
Feng Che looked at Hua Shi'an with an icy expression.
Jun Lintian, standing in the crowd, was immediately stunned. He knew something was wrong, but he never expected that the city lord would dare to kidnap Xiao Jiu.
"Hmph, there is no one named Xiao Jiu in my City Lord's Mansion. You must be mistaken." Hua Shi'an glanced coldly at Gu Qingfeng beside him and said in a cold voice. Others may be afraid of the Spirit Venerable, but he is not.
"Since Lord Hua doesn't want this northern capital, then kill them all~" Feng Che's cold voice rang out, and several people in the crowd took out their weapons and channeled their spiritual power.
Bang!
Several guards covered in blood fell to the ground, startling everyone. Ten figures appeared against the light outside the gate and quickly entered the courtyard.
Hua Shi'an snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and unleashed his red-tasseled spear, attacking Feng Che with lightning speed.
Feng Che snorted coldly and summoned his crescent blade, charging forward to meet the attack head-on.
The north wind blew, swirling up the snow from the eaves. Its sharp and menacing blows filled the sky with a sense of desolation, and in an instant, the snow was reduced to tangible yet intangible shadows.
Hua Shi'an sneered, poured all the spiritual energy in his dantian into the red-tasseled spear, and with a desperate effort, pushed the red-tasseled spear in his hand towards Feng Che.
The sounds of wind and clashing weapons mingled together.
Feng Che dodged the attack, and the red-tasseled spear missed its mark.
At this moment, the red-tasseled spear seemed to possess a spirit, relentlessly pursuing Feng Che. Streams of spiritual light slashed through the sky, and an overwhelming aura of killing intent swept over everyone.
The battle intensified and grew increasingly fierce, with everyone's hearts rising and falling with the fighting.
"So powerful!" Jun Lintian exclaimed.
Uncle Ji narrowed his eyes. It seemed that everything Rou'er had done was right. This Ji Jiuying was indeed very extraordinary. Even the people around her were unfathomable and should not be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the guards below had already been subdued by Ye Qingchen and his men. Qingling and Lian Qingcheng ran over from the backyard, saying, "Yingyue, there's a barrier in the backyard. Sister Lian and I can't get in."
Upon hearing this, Yingyue immediately followed Qingling.
“Very well, I must say you are very strong, but…” Hua Shi’an sneered disdainfully, and a bow in the form of flames appeared in his hand. The bow exuded a scorching aura, giving people a sense of sacred majesty.
"A divine weapon! The Blazing Sun Bow!"
Feng Che was shocked. How could there be a divine artifact on this lowly continent? No wonder Hua Shi'an was so confident; it turned out he had a divine artifact.
Before he could think any further, Hua Shi'an had already drawn the bowstring. The bowstring burned like flames, and each arrow transformed into a phoenix, carrying intense destructive power as it hurtled towards Feng Che.
Both are at the Spirit Venerable level. Although Hua Shi'an has an edge over Feng Che in terms of weapon, there is still a gap in their strength. This will be a protracted battle.
The two fought fiercely, with sharp whistling sounds coming from all directions. More and more arrows appeared, and an invisible force vibrated in the air, causing a gale to rise and snow to fall from the sky.
Feng Che sneered, gathering a powerful ball of spiritual energy in his palm. With a flick of his sleeve, a ball of spiritual energy carrying runes rippled outwards in all directions. With a loud bang, the earth shook, and the rain of arrows that had been hurtling through the air was instantly annihilated in that streak of light.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying was surrounded by countless blood mists, her eyes tightly closed, and the tearing pain in her mind spread throughout her body. After a long while, in the boundless blood mist, Ji Jiuying's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp, cold light burst forth from her eyes.
Hua Shi'an's expression turned cold, and a surge of power gathered from the summit of the snow-capped mountain rushed towards Feng Che.
A streak of red light flashed across the sky and exploded between Feng Che and Hua Shi'an.
As the smoke dissipated, a woman in a red wedding dress appeared in mid-air. Sunlight shone on her fair and delicate face. Her bright eyes were clear and deep, and a crimson lotus flower between her brows burned like a blazing flame.
Yet, there was not a trace of a smile, only biting indifference and sarcasm. Her face was alluring, like a demon or a demon, yet she was also like a god, like a demoness, wantonly indulging all living beings.
She simply stood there, and she stole all the colors from the world.
The people below were stunned, their eyes wide open. So this was the person the city lord was going to marry—no, the fairy he was going to marry.
With skin like solidified cream and a fragrance like a delicate orchid, she possessed a captivating charm that was both alluring and ethereal. Hua Shi'an couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart as he gazed at her alluring red dress.
"You're so eager to marry me?"
Ji Jiuying looked coldly at Hua Shi'an and said in a calm tone, a faint, chilling killing intent flashing in her eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
