When the morning light lit the sky, the city of the Tianwu, even the whole Tianwu Kingdom boiled with excitement.

Today was the day the Emperor would marry his Imperial Concubine. Everyone had joined the jubilation. All clans had to hang red lanterns to express their congratulations. Even some brothel theaters had bribed the imperial guards to send books to them anytime and anywhere, and let some storytelling sites broadcast and narrate this wedding live for civilian martial artists.

With Emperor Li Tianqiong’s re-appearance, the Kingdom had returned to stability. The people from the Martial Faction could no longer make waves.

At that moment, from the top to the bottom of the Qi Estate, lanterns were hanging high. From the Hall to the Square, it was covered with red carpet. The Square was already full of welcoming troops from Imperial families.

The sedan chair was carried by eight people, all dressed in red and gold, and covered with phoenix carvings.

“Father, go home. I’ll take care of myself,” Qi Ying said in a flat tone as she was sent into the sedan chair.

As the situation had turned into a forgone conclusion, she could only hope that after she married Li Tiangong and became an Imperial Concubine, she would be able to plead with Li Tianqiong to spare Ye Mo’s life.

Thousands of welcoming troops escorted Qi Ying as she slowly entered the palace. Afterward, she landed in the Imperial Palace’s Square. At the moment, more and more distinguished guests were arriving in the Square. Almost all the city’s Castellans, and even people from the Martial Factions, were invited.

Li Tianqiong’s strength was restored. His intention was very clear, as he wanted to use this wedding to once again show his dominance. If anyone refused to accept, he wouldn’t mind killing them. This so-called wedding was just an excuse to restore his strength.

Dong!

A huge drum sound, like a Hong Lu Clock, and shook everyone’s hearts. They all looked at Qi Ling, who wore a red dress and a veil with a golden Phoenix, walking out from the sedan chair. She was slowly sent to the Imperial Palace Hall.

Immediately after, an Imperial Guard loudly said, “Welcome the arrival of the Emperor!”

When the Imperial Guard said those words, all the guests stopped moving and held their breath. They felt a terrifying pressure released and no one dared to make any movements. Even experts in the Spirit Devour Realm were pressured by this majesty to the point where they could not breathe. Afterward, that majesty disappeared. All the guests began breathing as they looked at each other.

“The Emperor’s strength is too terrifying. We were unable to resist even a glimmer of his majesty.”

“I’m afraid that the Emperor’s strength has already reached the Transcendence Third Realm.”

“The wedding this time around is not so simple. Many higher-ups of the Martial Faction have been invited. It seems they’re in for some trouble.”

Emperor Li Tianqiong appeared in front of the Hall out of thin air. He was dressed in a red robe and stood on a ten-meter-tall step, overlooking all the guests in the Square.

Qi Ying walked slowly onto the step with the help of a servant girl. She stood next to Li Tianqiong.

Li Tianqiong took Qi Ying’s hand and showed a charming smile and said, “Imperial Concubine, you must be very happy today?”

“Yes,” Qi Ying said calmly.

“Today I’m going to dispose of some troublemakers on top of our wedding.” Li Tianqiong calmly smiled as he slowly walked forward. He glanced around and said, “Thank you to all the Castellans and forces of the city for attending this wedding. But before the wedding begins, I want to solve some things first.”

After hearing his words, Xuan Ji and others were slightly stunned. They felt Li Tianqiong’s murderous eyes. They knew in their hearts that even with all the Castellans present at this wedding, Li Tianqiong wanted to kill them.

“Calm down. We don’t have any chance of escaping him. The only thing we can do is to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible,” Xuan Ji said softly as she gestured to everyone present not to panic. Once they panicked, things would only get worse.

On the other hand, Xue Qiu kept looking around. Ye Mo said he would be closed off for seven days, and after seven days he would appear and fight against Li Tianqiong. But it was already the seventh day, and Ye Mo still hadn’t appeared. She was expecting Ye Mo not to show up.

Li Tianqiong looked at the Martial Faction with no expression, joy nor anger, visible.

“Xuan Ji, you led the people from the martial factions to pretend to revolt,” Li Tianqiong said, staring Xuan Ji down. “With Ye Mo’s rebellion, you killed many of my guards, and even two leaders of my Imperial Guards. Do you know your crimes?”

“After his advancement into the Transcendence Realm, Cao Zhengchun ignored the rules of league war, openly deprived Ye Mo of the glory of the league war and ordered the blockade of our three major leagues,” Xuan Ji explained. “We were helpless and forced to resist. If my lord Emperor had personally presided over the league war, then maybe such things wouldn’t have happened.”

Xuan Ji put all the blame onto Cao Zhengchun.

“Xuan Ji, you’re talking nonsense.” Empress Cao stepped forward. “My brother’s purpose was to test your three leagues, which have long been rebellious.”

Li Tianqiong motioned to Empress Cao to not talk too much. He waved his hand and said to Xuan Ji, “Xuan Ji, my banquet list has Ye Mo’s name on it. Where is Ye Mo? Did he run away again?”

“Ye Mo is a talented disciple of the Door of Desolation,” Xuan Ji said. “Naturally, he would return to the Door of Desolation. I don’t know when he’ll return, but when he does, I’m looking forward to seeing the extent to which his strength has grown.” Xuan Ji smiled playfully.

Many of the Castellans could sense a threat in Xuan Ji’s words. Ye Mo had left the Tianwu Kingdom for less than two months and already had the strength to kill Cao Zhengchun. When he returned again, he may kill Li Tianqiong.

“Humph! Xuan Ji, do you really think I’m afraid of Ye Mo?” Li Tianqiong sneered. “So what if he’s cultivating in the Door of Desolation? I have the Spirit Supreme in my body. Within the Tianwu Kingdom, no one can do anything to me.” He frowned as he stared into the distance and his sight landed on a shadow heading towards him.

“Who said I wouldn’t come?” A startling roar resounded through the sky. The eyes of the people slowly moved away, as they saw Ye Mo appear above the Square.

After hearing the sound, Qi Ying lifted her golden veil and looked at the figure in the air with shock.

“From your cultivation, I can see that there are many geniuses out there, but they’re all stepping stones to me. I must make you my woman. My father missed the chance to be with my mother, so I won’t miss my chance with you!”

“So, you’re the legendary Imperial Concubine. I still won’t give up. In three years, the Emperor will marry you. I’ll take you away then, from the Emperor’s wedding. When the time comes, I will grow to the point where even the Emperor will tremble before me! ”

Looking at the figure in the sky, memories of what happened in the cave once again flashed before her eyes. Every word the youth had said was a ridiculous promise to her.

Once upon a time, the youth in front of her was driven out of his house and hunted down as he fled. She had made Ye Mo retreat more than once from difficulties.

But he had actually appeared now, the day of her wedding with Li Tianqiong, with inconceivable confidence!
