第两千八百四十一章 不速之客

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment.

But then, with a firm bite of his teeth, he thought, "The saying goes that hunger kills the timid and overeating makes the bold. Such a good opportunity shouldn't be missed!"

With this in mind, Lin Xuan turned around to search nearby for someone suitable to exchange cultivation insights with.

However, before he could finish his thoughts, an unexpected scene unfolded.

"Who dares to intrude here? Are you seeking a toast of happiness? If so, why hide yourself and show your true form to us?"

Master Nael Dragon's voice echoed in everyone's ears. The lively wedding banquet instantly fell silent as over a hundred guests stared wide-eyed.

Had someone sneaked into the venue?

How could that be possible?

The only entrance to Cloud Sea Immortal Realm was guarded by the Nine True Pacifying Demons Array, and even among all realms, such a prohibition would surely rank among the top. Even if they were caught in the array during their Tribulation Period, escaping safely would be extremely difficult. How could anyone slip in silently?

Could it be that true immortals had descended?

However, even if higher realm immortals did appear here, breaking through the Nine True Pacifying Demons Array might be possible, but sneaking in silently was still highly unlikely.

Was Master Nael Dragon mistaken or playing a trick on everyone?

But this seemed equally impossible.

The situation sounded absurd, yet Master Nael Dragon's heart was filled with frustration.

It was all due to his carelessness!

The Nine True Pacifying Demons Array was no small matter; even true immortals couldn't slip in silently unless the array was activated. Originally, he had thought that today would be a happy day for Qianqian, and potential rivals might cause trouble, so he fully opened the Nine True Pacifying Demons Array. Guests were only admitted after receiving invitations.

Although this wasn’t a foolproof plan, it hadn't caused any issues until now.

But just then, a significant mistake was made. The Broad Cold Immortal and the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox appeared uninvited, and in his joy, he welcomed them along with all the guests without reactivating the array.

These two had non-trivial status; to show respect, he temporarily stopped the Nine True Pacifying Demons Array, unlike the others who only got a single entrance. This was meant to demonstrate their importance.

Their status warranted such treatment.

Originally, this approach seemed harmless.

The problem lay in… Lin Xuan's actions were too astonishing and shocking. He had inadvertently angered Qianqian, then tried to appease her, forgetting to reactivate the Nine True Pacifying Demons Array.

In other words, Cloud Sea Square was now completely unprotected. Anyone with ill intentions could easily come here without needing true immortal strength; they just needed to reach Penglai Immortal Island.

Lin Xuan felt frustrated but regret was useless.

Master Nael Dragon wasn't a cowardly cultivator; he only hoped today's happy day wouldn’t be disrupted by troublemakers.

Now that there were potential intruders, he would deal with them. He wanted to see who dared to cause him trouble.

"Haha, Master Nael, how imposing and fierce you are! My Highness and Sister Precious Snake came here merely to congratulate. Though we arrived late, your intimidating demeanor is rather impolite towards guests."

A melodious voice entered his ears, so enchanting that it seemed to carry boundless power.

Master Nael Dragon's face turned extremely unpleasant; he recognized the voice—it was one of his former rivals.

But could she be too petty? He had been somewhat rude and offended her in the past, but he had pursued her for over a thousand years. After such a long time, why would she still hold grudges and come to disrupt this happy day?

Master Nael Dragon felt both angry and guilty, his expression awkward.

Beside him, Broad Cold Immortal and Queen of Qingqiu exchanged glances, showing some surprise.

Was that person also here?

They recognized each other. As for the other Tribulation Period elders, most still looked bewildered.

After all, it was hard to identify an uninvited guest with just a few words.

But clearly, this visitor's cultivation level was not low; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sneak in silently here.

They were definitely at the late-stage of the Tribulation Period.

And probably weren’t early or mid-stage cultivators either, as they had no right to challenge Master Nael Dragon.

Could it be a late-stage elder?

Moreover, there seemed to be more than one.

Before he could finish his thoughts, some late-stage elders showed signs of excitement. They were uninvolved and indifferent; these people only had superficial connections with Master Nael Dragon, so they didn’t care about the situation.

If they could watch a fight between late-stage cultivators, it might even be beneficial to them.

However, not everyone thought this way. Some close friends of Master Nael Dragon showed concern.

The saying went that good people don't come and bad ones do; someone daring to cause trouble mustn’t fear Master Nael Dragon's presence.

From the moment he heard the voice, Lin Xuan’s face turned pale.

Like Master Nael Dragon and Broad Cold Immortal, Lin Xuan instantly recognized the visitor's identity. But he wished he didn't know.

Because this person had a significant grudge against him.

If it were just an avatar, he might be able to handle it, but if his assumptions were correct, the visitor wouldn’t send an avatar here for the wedding; they would come in their true form.

Absolutely no doubt about it!

And if that individual arrived, Master Nael Dragon’s chances of victory were questionable. If faced with such a formidable opponent…

Lin Xuan felt his heart sink as he hurriedly retreated, hoping not to be noticed.

But he knew this was an impossible wish.

With the visitor's strength, their spiritual sense was much stronger than his; even a blade of grass or a leaf in Cloud Sea Square would be visible. Hiding from them was sheer self-deception.

Well, let fate decide whether it’s good fortune or misfortune.

Their strength was undoubtedly on another level, but there were so many late-stage elders present today. Besides, this was Master Nael Dragon and Qianqian's wedding; as the host, he couldn’t ignore his guests who came to offer congratulations.
