As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1252
Chapter 1252 Wedding Day
On a scorching summer day, there was an indescribable chill in the air. Under the cold city gate, a few fallen leaves swirled around, continuously emitting the sound of “sand-sand”.
Xiao Chen arrived at the suburbs outside the city. He slowly took off his battle robe and looked in the direction of the Four Leagues Temple. His gaze turned even colder.
If the Mirage Sea Four Alliances hadn’t given him Mirage Sea Liu-Li from the beginning, then that would be fine. However, not only did they renege on their promises, they were now plotting to take his life.
Back at Ghost Rock, when he broke through the Misty Hidden Realm, he seemed to be relaxed and didn’t fear the Asura Demonic Qi inside, but in reality … he was risking his life.
Although he had Three Corpse Demon in his body and was not afraid of any turbid devil energy in the world, the evergreen seed of flowers and leaves in his body had almost withered completely. Now, it was still able to suppress the life and death backlash. It was all because of the miraculous technique he used in Su Wen Palace and Fairy Su Wen of the Tianshan Mountains that he temporarily suppressed the life and death backlash with that wisp of grandmist purple energy.
The Asura Devil Fiend in the Ghost Rock Mist Hidden World was extraordinary. Even though he wasn’t afraid of invasion, he had risked his life to break the formation. If he hadn’t broken through the Ghost Rock Mist Hidden World, there would have been no chance for the Mirage Sea Four Alliances to win this time.
But now, it was a good thing that Mirage Sea Liu-Li, who was supposed to be given to him, had been taken by Chu Qingyu.
If that was the case, then that would be fine. However, this trip to the Undying Sea to retrieve the Shura’s Heart was a conspiracy of the four Mirage Sea Alliances from the beginning to the end.
The Mirage Sea Four Alliances never thought of letting him come back alive, pretending to ask someone to meet him outside the Undying Sea. In fact, as soon as he entered, the Four Alliances immediately ordered those responsible for meeting him to retreat.
In this way, when he obtained the Asura’s Heart, no one would receive him from outside. In this way, he would definitely not be able to escape from the Ownerless Land, and he would die at the hands of the Asura in the end.
Such a result was undoubtedly what the Mirage Sea Four Alliances wanted. Once he died, there would be no threat to the Mirage Sea Four Alliances and nothing would happen. Chu Qingyu would be able to smoothly obtain the Mirage Sea Veluriyam and the Asura Formation would be destroyed. What a one-kill-two-bird plan.
The hearts of the four alliances of Mirage Sea were ruthless and poisonous. It was truly frightening. If Su Ye hadn’t escaped from the Asura Sea that day, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
“Chu Qingyu, if you want to get Mirage Sea Liu-Li, it probably won’t go too smoothly.”
…
Ten days later, a month had passed since he left for the Asura Sea. However, a month had passed without any news. Probably, the four alliances of Mirage Sea thought that he had already died in the Asura Sea.
On this day, the entire Guiyuan City was exceptionally lively. Lanterns were decorated everywhere and red flowers were hanging high. First, to celebrate this victory. Second, today was a special day. Not only were the four alliances going to award Chu Qingyu Mirage Sea Liu-Li, but Chu Qingyu and Shangguan Ruoxue were also going to get married today.
In the past few years, there had never been a precedent for marriage in the Four Leagues Temple. In the past, no matter how powerful the Four Leagues were, it was impossible for them to get married in the Four Leagues Temple.
However, this time, not only did Chu Qingyu and Shangguan Ruoxue marry in the Four Alliances Temple, they also invited many cultivation forces from the Four Alliances. From this, it could be seen that not only were they dragons and phoenixes amongst humans, but the Chu Clan and Shangguan Clan also had a strong family background. Otherwise, how could others be convinced?
At this moment, in the Four Alliances Temple, the square was filled with high-ranking people and was bustling with excitement. The sect masters laughed happily. Of course, on the high seat were the four Alliance Masters, the Chu Clan members, and some other people with extremely high status within the Four Alliances.
On the platform, Chu Qingyu was dressed in red and his face was full of spring breeze. Today was not only the day he married Shangguan Ruoxue, but also the only day he obtained Mirage Sea’s place in the Ancient Immortal Realm. Thinking about it, what could be more exciting in this world than the two combined?
By marrying the Shangguan Clan and obtaining the Ancient Immortal Realm quota at the same time, his status would become even higher from now on, truly becoming the Mirage Sea Chu that no one in Childe knew about. At that time, the Chu Clan and Shangguan Clan’s positions in Mirage Sea would also become completely unshakable.
Just as the hall was bustling with excitement, an old man with bright white hair walked out of the hall. The old man was also dressed in red today. He was an elder of the Four Leagues Temple, and in his hand was an ancient sandalwood colored box.
When he arrived at the high platform, his face was red and he laughed loudly, “After the resolution of the Four Alliances, we have decided to award Mirage Sea Liu-Li to Chu Qingyu Childe …”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below quieted down. They stared motionlessly at the sandalwood box in the elder’s hand. The moment the box was opened, the entire platform instantly glowed brightly. A seven-colored glazed stone slowly floated out of the box.
At this moment, everyone could feel the ancient immortal aura emanating from the seven-colored glass. It was indeed Mirage Sea glass. In the entire Mirage Sea, there was only this one.
Not only did this item represent the qualifications to enter Ancient Immortal Realm, it also contained an extraordinary amount of Ancient Immortal Spirit Qi. In the future, if one went to Ancient Immortal Realm, with this item protecting one’s body, one would definitely be able to reduce many dangers.
Looking at the seven-colored glazed stone in front of him, Chu Qingyu’s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to reach out to receive it, the red-robed elder suddenly smiled and said, “Chu Childe, don’t be anxious. As the saying goes, you must have fun in your life, don’t let the golden bottle face the moon. Has Childe forgotten what is the most important thing today?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests below started laughing loudly. However, although this seemed like a joke, it was actually filled with a different flavor.
If Chu Qingyu did not marry Shangguan Ruoxue this time, and if the Chu Clan did not ally with the Shangguan Clan, perhaps Chu Qingyu would not be able to obtain this Mirage Sea Veluriyam so easily. Although the Chu Clan had an expert like Chu Fengyang in charge, could it be that the Shangguan Clan did not have one?
In front of everyone, Chu Qingyu naturally couldn’t be too anxious to get Mirage Sea Liu-Li. He smiled softly and said, “Today is the day Ruoxue and I are overjoyed. Of course, we have to wait until the wedding is over.”
“Haha, not bad, that’s right …”
The red-robed elder stroked his beard and laughed loudly. At the end of his words, he raised his hand and the Mirage Sea glass flew into the air. Finally, it landed on a tall stone pillar, shining with seven-colored light.
Looking at the seven-colored glass on the stone pillar, many people below revealed expressions of envy. However, how could they think of this Mirage Sea glass? Even if it was a fair competition, who among the younger generation had ever competed for Childe Chu? At most, they were just thinking about it.
On the ASEAN side, Wang Ting frown silently. Today, he seemed to be somewhat restless. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but Wang Yunmeng was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect that her father would eventually decide to give the Mirage Sea Veluriyam to Chu Qingyu, not Xuan Yue … As for Daoist Hao, she only sighed softly.
As for the Chu Clan and Shangguan Clan, Mu Wang Chuyun and Shangguan Hong also laughed happily today. Although there was inevitably a political reason for the alliance between the two clans, fortunately, Chu Qingyu and Shangguan Ruoxue were in agreement with each other.
A moment later, Shangguan Ruoxue finally walked out of the pavilion. However, she was dressed in red like sunset, her slender steps were like willows, her head was covered in red, and there were maids walking on both sides.
Seeing the bride come out, many people below the stage stood up and started to coax. In the past, Shangguan Ruoxue was always so tall and cold, like an iceberg Fairy. But today was the day she came out of the pavilion, so did she also shake her body and become that beautiful, shy and spoiled little lady?
Everyone was curious about her current appearance. Unfortunately, she wore a red cap on her head. No one could see her current expression, and no one dared to use their divine sense to peek at her.
After a while, the crowd finally quieted down. Chu Qingyu stretched out her hand to remove Shangguan Ruoxue’s red lid, but when she raised her hand, she wanted to stop. She thought to herself that although she was interested in her, today’s marriage was also arranged by the clan, but what about her? Is she really willing …
“Ruoxue …”
At this moment, Chu Qingyu softly shouted in front of her, but Shangguan Ruoxue did not immediately agree to it. She did not know if it was nervousness, shyness, or perhaps, she simply did not want to …
“Lift the lid! Lift the lid! We want to see the bride! Lift the lid …”
Right at this moment, everyone below suddenly started to heckle. On the stage, Chu Qingyu still raised her hand and hesitated. He wanted to know what Shangguan Ruoxue’s intentions were.
Not far away, Mu Wang Chuyun and Shangguan Hong both frowned. What was Chu Qingyu still hesitating about? Why haven’t you lifted the lid?
Just as the crowd was clamoring, a cold and deep voice suddenly came from outside the plaza, “It’s so lively today. Why, aren’t you planning to invite me over?”
This cold voice entered the seats, causing everyone to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. At this moment, everyone quieted down and turned to look. Outside the plaza, a person wearing a black robe slowly walked in.
Everyone was shocked. Who was he? How did he get in?
“Who are you?”
At this moment, a few elders of the Four Alliances Temple stood up from their seats. Their voices just now were too cold and noisy, so no one could tell who he was. However, it was obvious that many people could feel a frightening cold aura coming from him.
On the high platform, Chu Qingyu also gazed over. Then, Mu Wang Chuyun and Shangguan Hong stood up from their seats. They looked at the black-robed man slowly approaching from afar and said in a solemn voice, “I wonder who His Excellency is …”
“It’s him …”
After sensing this chill, Wang Ting on the ASEAN side immediately felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. A cold aura came from behind him, and Daoist Hao, who was beside him, was also shocked. His face immediately turned pale like paper.
“Asura’s Heart, I brought it back, but why didn’t anyone tell me that this place is so lively today …”
Xiao Chen slowly took off his battle robe. The moment he took off his battle robe, all the upper echelons of the four alliances in the square were stunned. He actually came back alive …
As for the cultivators of other sects, I wonder what happened. Isn’t this the young man who made a great contribution to the attack on Ghost Luo Yan last time? Why did he come here with such a heavy killing intent today? And what did he mean by the Asura’s Heart just now …
