第两千三百八十三章 娶亲

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a strange light but quickly returned to their normal color.

The old man before him had such thin magical power; it seemed he practiced a cultivation technique that was easier to advance in but not particularly powerful.

As Lin Xuan sat down, the old man’s voice sounded: "I am Meng Luo. May I ask which sect or school of yours is so strong?"

"Master Meng, you are too polite," Lin Xuan's cold voice replied, clearly not wanting to waste any more words on this matter.

However, Master Meng was very familiar with himself and continued chatting regardless of Lin Xuan’s attitude: "Since you're a free agent cultivator, I suppose you came here hoping to enter the Ice Flame Valley. Haha, be careful. Although the valley is rich in medicinal herbs, it's not something we can ignore. My friend once died there because he was too greedy."

Hearing this endless chatter, Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but felt a bit amused and annoyed inside.

While this familiarity could be annoying at times, it wasn't entirely unpleasant.

After discussing the Ice Flame Valley, his conversation shifted to the matter of taking a concubine. The old man's face took on a mysterious expression as he leaned closer: "Young brother, do you know that this time Senior Scorpion Tail is taking a concubine from our Holy Realm?"

"Not from your Holy Realm?" Lin Xuan frowned. "Don't make things up."

"Hey, why would I lie? This secret was overheard by chance," the old man said in a hushed tone.

"I don’t care either way." Lin Xuan grew impatient.

"Hey, you're really impulsive," the old man laughed. "Since we are at the same table, it’s fate. Let me tell you for free..."

"You might as well use your mind transmission; otherwise, everyone will hear us," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

The old man blushed and realized he had forgotten to lower his voice. The people here were cultivators, and even if they lowered their voices, it would still be heard by those nearby.

Looking back, several ancient demons were listening intently.

Fortunately, Senior Scorpion Tail was busy elsewhere and not in the main hall; otherwise, he might have caused trouble immediately.

With a dry throat, the old man switched to mind transmission: "This time, Senior Scorpion Tail is taking a concubine from our Holy Realm."

"Not from your Holy Realm?" Lin Xuan's eyebrows knitted together. "Don’t make things up."

"Hey, I wouldn’t lie about this. The secret was overheard by chance. This woman is an ordinary human cultivator who somehow ended up in our Holy Realm," the old man said.

"Oh?"

Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but felt a bit puzzled. Even if she was a human cultivator, it didn't matter to him; he just came out of curiosity.

A stringed melody entered his ears as Lin Xuan turned around and saw that Senior Scorpion Tail had returned in a new groom's attire.

"Friends, shall we go see the wedding together?" Senior Scorpion Tail's boisterous laughter echoed.

Clearly, the old monster was very happy today.

"We are honored to serve you," the cultivators responded.

The ancient demons were more than willing and stood up, following Senior Scorpion Tail out of the hall.

Celestial music filled the air, but it came from above them.

Everyone then flew into the sky, following the music.

Looking towards the source of the music, they saw numerous beams of light appearing in their line of sight. At first far away, they soon approached a hundred feet away.

The most striking were the dozens of young girls walking at the front, divided into two rows with twelve on each side, all about seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear and beautiful faces. Each girl carried a lantern.

They moved gracefully from the sky, like celestial maidens descending to earth.

Behind them, the sounds of monkeys howling and cranes singing filled the air as countless rare birds danced beautifully, all trained by experts.

Especially among the cranes, there were young women riding on their backs. Some played the zither while others blew flutes, producing a beautiful melody that came from these girls.

Behind them was a team of armored guards divided into two rows with thirty-six people each. Each held an ancient and sharp spear in hand. These guards were all late-stage婴灵期 cultivators.

"Is this the famous Magic Elemental Guard?"

"They are indeed elemental, but they excel in flanking attacks. With array flags, one hundred and eight of them together could even contend with a Void Profound Period cultivator," another old demon said.

"What? I’ve heard of the Magic Elemental Guard, but is Master exaggerating? Even if there are over a hundred of them, how can they possibly match a Void Profound Period cultivator?" an old demon nearby said doubtfully.

"Hey, in normal circumstances, it’s impossible. But didn’t I just say that they could use array power?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but look at the Magic Elemental Guard's strength after hearing this conversation and needed to reassess their capabilities.

Finally, a small sedan chair appeared.

The red sedan was adorned with mandarin ducks, indicating the bride was inside.

Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but it didn’t work. The moment he touched the red cloth of the sedan, he was repelled back. Lin Xuan shook his head and remained unperturbed; clearly, Senior Scorpion Tail was a miser even here, unwilling to let everyone see the bride’s face.

The process continued as in a secular wedding, with the entire city hall bustling with activity.

Although it wasn’t necessary for a concubine, the new bride seemed favored by the lord. He still arranged a ceremony to pay respects to heaven and earth.

While this was against protocol, no one would object since everyone just wanted to enjoy themselves. Marrying a woman? As long as they were happy, who cared about rules?

Soft footsteps sounded as a tall young woman, supported by two maids, slowly walked in.

Dressed in a phoenix crown and red ceremonial robe, she was undoubtedly Senior Scorpion Tail's new concubine.

Everyone had never seen the bride before, so they were naturally curious. Many released their divine senses to see her face hidden behind the phoenix crown and ceremonial robe.

Unfortunately, disappointment followed as the phoenix crown and ceremonial robe were a formidable treasure that blocked all divine senses from seeing inside.

Lin Xuan watched the bride approach with a frown. Although he couldn’t see her face, her figure was extremely familiar—like someone he had known before.

Could it be...

Curiosity piqued, Lin Xuan decided to investigate further. His divine sense might be blocked, but he took a deep breath and directed his magical power towards his eyes.

Instantly, his pupils turned silver. To avoid drawing attention, Lin Xuan only used the Phoenix Divine Eye at its simplest form.

Despite this, he could see through all layers of concealment to clearly see the bride’s face.

Indeed, she was an extraordinary beauty, but her face was shockingly familiar.

Lin Xuan's pupils narrowed. How did Lin Yu娇 end up here?

It wasn’t surprising for Lin Xuan; after all, they were once fellow students. Lin Yu娇 was Senior Cloud Concealment Sect’s elder sister and had come to the demon realm with him for Void Profound trials.

Before leaving, the elder had repeatedly instructed him to take care of his younger sister.

Unfortunately, upon arriving in the demon realm, they separated, and no news followed. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to look after her, he couldn’t find a way.

Unexpectedly, their paths crossed again, but she was now married to an ancient demon. Did Lin Yu娇 truly agree to this marriage?

Probably not; it must have been out of necessity!

Lin Xuan used the Phoenix Divine Eye again and lowered his head as expected. The restrictions on Lin Yu娇 were indeed in place.

Sighing, Lin Xuan wished he hadn’t come here; better to avoid seeing such things. However, once you know something, you can't help but get involved.

It seemed this wedding feast was ruined today, and he would have to cause a commotion at the banquet. (To be continued)
