My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse - Chapter 78
78 Grand Wedding,Great Sorrow
The Gongsun family was located in the southeast of the City of Sin.
So far, it had been around for about 1200 years. The family had an Origin Return realm patriarch, so it was quite powerful.
When Lin Wudao arrived, he saw that the Gongsun family’s surroundings were already decorated with lanterns and streamers. There was an endless stream of guests coming and going, and every one of them was all smiles.
Today was the day of Gongsun Mang’s wedding. The entire Gongsun family was filled with a festive atmosphere.
!!
“Oh, isn’t this Governor Lin of the Demon Subduing Division? Please come in.”
Just as Lin Wudao was sizing the place up, Yun Cang suddenly came up to him and greeted him with great enthusiasm.
He personally welcomed Lin Wudao in.
At the same time, following Yun Cang’s loud words, many strange gazes from the surroundings surged toward Lin Wudao. All the gazes were full of shock and curiosity as they observed him.
Lin Wudao’s name had already shaken the City of Sin.
After the incident at the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel, almost everyone knew him.
Still, Lin Wudao’s expression remained calm and unchanging.
After entering the Gongsun family, Yun Cang led him to the hall where the wedding ceremony was to be held. His seat was quite close to the front.
At this moment, the magnificent hall was already filled with guests.
Whoosh!
With Lin Wudao’s arrival, everyone’s eyes fell on him in unison.
“Governor Lin, thank you for gracing us with your presence!” A dignified-looking middle-aged man came up to him with a smile.
Gongsun Xiong?
Lin Wudao knew the other party’s identity.
The man in front of him was the current family head of the Gongsun family. His cultivation base had already reached the peak of the Heavenly realm. In the vast City of Sin, he was already considered a powerhouse.
“Congratulations, Master Gongsun. You have a good son.”
Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a strange smile.
Han Qingshan, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward and presented the prepared congratulatory gift.
Within it was a Human Dao spiritual weapon.
“Governor Lin is very thoughtful. Quickly, please sit!”
Gongsun Xiong was all smiles.
At this moment, he did not know that all the schemes and plots of the Gongsun family, as well as their secret of raising demons, had been seen through by Lin Wudao.
Today would be a day of both great joy and great sorrow!
…
After Gongsun Xiong left, Lin Wudao scanned the main hall and realized that Zhao Mang had already sneaked into the hall with the help of the invisibility jade talisman.
He was hiding in a corner, waiting for an opportunity.
“Young master, has Zhao Mang arrived?”
“Yes.”
“Where is he?”
“At the third pillar on the front left.”
Upon hearing this, Han Qingshan immediately looked in that direction.
However, since Zhao Mang was currently invisible, he couldn’t see the other party even though Lin Wudao had told him where the other party was.
“This invisibility talisman is really magical. Next, we’ll wait for the show to start…”
His eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
With that, Han Qingshan began to wait patiently.
Time passed by slowly, and soon it was time for the wedding ceremony.
Thump!
Suddenly, a majestic bell chime rang from outside the hall, causing the originally noisy hall to instantly quiet down.
At this moment, everyone raised their eyes and looked out of the hall at the same time.
Dong, dong, dong…
Accompanied by the deafening sound of drums, a man and a woman appeared, surrounded by a group of maids, and walked toward the hall.
“Young Master Gongsun is truly a dragon among men.”
Someone loudly praised.
“At such a young age, he has already cultivated to the perfection of the Paramita realm. Such talent and aptitude bone are indeed rare. He’s even comparable to the people of the Xuantian Sect and the Tianxin Sword Sect.”
“Young Master Gongsun’s future is boundless.”
“I heard that the bride is a direct disciple of the Netherworld Devil Sect, Feng Qingyue. She’s also a peerless beauty. They’re a match made in heaven.”
“Such a talented couple, they must indeed be happily married.”
…
Many words of praise sounded from the crowd.
With the appearance of the bride and groom, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a peak.
“Family head, the auspicious time has arrived,” A green-robed elder came before Gongsun Xiong and respectfully reported.
“Alright. Since that’s the case, let’s begin the wedding ceremony.”
“Yes,” The old man bowed and acknowledged.
After Gongsun Mang and Feng Qingyue entered the hall, the elder turned around to face the crowd.
“The auspicious time has arrived. The wedding ceremony begins.”
Boom!
As his loud voice rang out, everyone’s gaze instantly gathered on Gongsun Mang and Feng Qingyue. Their eyes were filled with blessings.
Seeing this, Gongsun Mang’s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction.
This moment was a glory that belonged to him alone.
“First, bow to heaven and earth,” After Gongsun Mang led Feng Qingyue to the center of the hall, the elder’s solemn voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Mang bowed to the void with joy.
Feng Qingyue, who was beside him, hesitated for a moment before following suit.
“Second, bow to the parents,” After the first bow, the green-robed elder’s voice rang out again.
Gongsun Mang pulled Feng Qingyue over to kneel in front of Gongsun Xiong.
“Bow.”
The two knelt and bowed.
“Hahaha, good, good, good,” Gongsun Xiong laughed loudly when he saw the two bowing to him. His dignified face was filled with a brilliant smile, and his deep eyes were filled with relief.
It was a great happiness for Gongsun Xiong to be able to see his son get married.
However, compared to everyone’s happiness, there was one person who was quite unhappy.
This person was Zhao Mang.
Seeing that the wedding ceremony was coming to an end and there was only one last bow left, a sinister smile appeared on Zhao Mang’s face. He then carefully approached the couple.
At the same time, the atmosphere of the wedding ceremony had reached its peak.
“Husband and wife bow to each other,” The elder in green used all his strength and roared.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, Gongsun Mang and Feng Qingyue stood opposite each other and slowly kneeled.
“It’s done.”
Gongsun Xiong’s face bloomed into a smile when he saw the couple kneeling and bowing to each other.
In his opinion, the wedding ceremony was already set in stone and there would be no more accidents.
The rest of the people had the same thought as well.
However, the will of the heavens was unpredictable.
The more impossible something was, the more likely it was to happen.
“Ah!”
Just as everyone was immersed in their joy, a sharp tearing sound suddenly rang out in the hall.
Soon after, everyone clearly heard a panicked scream.
The scream came from Gongsun Mang.
“What’s going on?”
Hearing Gongsun Mang’s scream, the crowd looked in the direction of the sound.
Immediately after, what they saw shocked them.
The clothes of the groom, Gongsun Mang, had been stripped clean in public!
At this moment, Gongsun Mang was completely naked. He stood exposed in the middle of the hall, receiving everyone’s gaze.
