Eternal Tranquility

Ghost Emperor Zhaoyang sat on the throne with an indifferent expression, showing no sign of joy at all to accept his new concubine. He only stretched out his hands, and immediately two beautiful maids knelt down in front of him and began to beat their legs.

But this is normal. After all, he is a Ghost Emperor at the same level as the Great Monk of Transformation God. Even though his style is similar to the common etiquette of the mortal world, no one dares to really regard him as a mortal emperor.

Since the appearance of Ghost Emperor Zhaoyang, the entire square in front of the palace has become silent. Only the sound of the wind can be heard, and the flags placed on both sides of the palace stretch and flutter.

Liu Qinghuan looked up and saw that the hall of the Nascent Soul cultivators was on the left side of the second floor, and on the right should be people from the major ghost sects. However, there were far fewer people on the first floor, so the ghost emperor's sect members were divided into several places. listed on this level.

Judging from what Liu Qinghuan knows about the Netherworld, there are currently five ghost emperors in this world, namely the Ghost Emperor Luo Tu of Luofeng Mountain, the Ghost Emperor Zhaoyang of Youdu, the Empress Xuanji of Yintian Palace, the Saint Hongling Gong of Senluo City, and the Lord Qiu sent people to attend the ceremony this time.

He quietly searched among these people, but found no trace of Hongshang. However, he saw someone he knew. It was Lone Ye who had met several times at Zuiwang Jianbi. At this time, he buried his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

At this time, I heard the chief of ceremonies shouting "the auspicious time has come", and then I heard the palace door in the distance rumbling open, cheerful music immediately sounded, and a long procession came in mightily, and in the middle It is a ceremonial carriage carried by sixteen people.

Seeing Li Yu, all kinds of praises were heard in the crowd, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

Liu Qinghuan's eyes darkened. He finally found the woman named Hongshang among the crowd, and she walked slowly towards the side of the sedan. However, she did not buy a bright red dress today. Instead, she wore a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade, with tall temples and a noble and majestic temperament.

At this time, Wen Zhen on the left suddenly lowered his voice and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "It's simply unseemly. This Su Luo concubine is not a ghost queen, how can she enter the central palace gate?"

Feng Xian chuckled secretly and said: "Quickly put aside your sour and pedantic attitude. Those red tapes will be enough. Besides, the power of Senluo City is not much smaller than that of Youdu, plus Su Luo's concubine My biological sister is Emperor Luo Tu’s most beloved concubine, so it’s impossible for Senluo City and Luo Fengshan to agree to it first.”

"Then what will happen if Emperor Zhaoyang marries the Ghost Queen?"

"Ghost Queen? You are thinking too much! Which of the five ghost emperors has really married a real wife? Not to mention Emperor Zhaoyang of Youdu, Zhenren Wang of Xuanqiu doesn't even have a concubine, and the one in Senluo City doesn't even have a concubine. I don’t know if Shenghong Linggong is still alive, let alone Empress Xuanji of Yintian Palace. It is said that she has many male favorites under her command, and it is impossible to marry a wife. Even..."

Feng Xian carefully looked around and said with a low smile: "Even the most lustful Emperor Luo Tu has no intention of marrying the Ghost Queen."

Liu Qinghuan secretly paid attention to Hongshang who was walking this way, while listening to the gossip of these ghost emperors with the highest cultivation level in the world, he couldn't help but marvel. Compared with ghost cultivators and demon cultivators who have a wanton and indulgent temperament, Taoist cultivators appear to be much more pure-minded when it comes to the relationship between men and women.

During the chat, Li Yu had reached the foot of the high stairs from the separated sea of ​​people. The sedan door opened and a woman in imperial red palace clothes stepped out.

This is the concubine of Su Luo. She is wearing a phoenix crown but does not cover her head. Her facial features are exquisite and small, her eyes are as bright as the autumn moon, her figure is like a weak willow supporting the wind, and she has a charming and charming look. She and her gorgeous sister Hongshang are two completely different beauties.

Emperor Zhaoyang had already dismissed the waiting maids, and finally stood up, waiting at the top of the long stone steps.

Su Luo's concubine was the first to take a look, and then climbed up the stairs amid the increasingly joyful music.

The long Xia Pei dragged all over the ground, and as she moved, countless spirit flower petals floated down, and the flowing light danced like a veil, making this scene look gorgeous and beautiful.

Various admirations continued to be heard from the halls on both sides. Under everyone's attention, this charming woman gradually walked towards Ghost Emperor Zhaoyang, getting closer and closer.

Liu Qinghuan's mind was not on this scene, but he frowned slightly and looked behind him.

When I saw Hongshang again, I saw that her aura was much stronger than before, and her cultivation was in the late Nascent Soul stage, so she was probably not far from Dzogchen.

Liu Qinghuan believed that he could fight against ordinary monks in the middle stage of Yuanying. This was the confidence he gained after practicing the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting Immortality and successfully giving birth to twin babies. However, there was only one level difference between the late stage and middle stage of Yuanying, but his strength was extremely high. The disparity was something he couldn't catch up with even if he tried his best.

This means that in addition to spending hundreds of years improving his cultivation and trying to catch up, he also has to pray that the other party will not break through to the divine form so quickly. If one's own cultivation suddenly encounters a bottleneck and is stuck in the early stage of Nascent Soul, unable to move, then everything you say will be in vain.

He also thought about whether he could take advantage of the situation, kill someone with a borrowed knife, etc., but after knowing the identity of the other party and the forces behind it, as a human monk living in the Netherworld, this possibility was simply slim.

Alas, it is indeed a hot potato!

Liu Qinghuan was secretly having a headache when she was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation. When she looked up, she saw that the bride who was about to reach the top of the stone steps stopped a short distance away. In front of her, a A figure is blocking her way!

Feng Xian looked like he was about to faint: "Brother Gu Gu Ye! Why did he jump out at this time..."

Liu Qinghuan Dingqing took a look: The person blocking the road is really Lonely Night!

I saw that he still had no trace of the loneliness and arrogance he once had. Instead, he was full of sorrow and determination. He walked step by step towards Su Luo's concubine: "Cousin, don't marry him, I'll take you away..."

The whole place was in an uproar!

Countless people stared at this scene in stunned silence. Some people dared to come to the Ghost Emperor's concubine ceremony to steal their marriage. This must be life-threatening!

Liu Qinghuan felt a sense of absurdity. A drama like robbery that could only be seen on the stage actually appeared in front of him. It was simply...

He turned to look at Su Luo's concubine, only to see that her face was so pale that even her makeup could not hide it. She backed away in fear as Gu Ye stepped closer and almost fell down on the steps.

Tears slowly appeared in her eyes, and she said in panic: "Cousin, cousin, no, no... why are you here..."

Looking at the Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor at the top of the stone steps, Liu Qinghuan suddenly noticed that he was slightly surprised, and then quickly returned to his incomprehensible expression.

At this time, an angry shout came from the first floor of the palace. A middle-aged man came out of the crowd, slapped Gu Ye with his palm, and shouted: "Evil son, evil son! Why are you crazy? You are You’re not crazy! Come back here!”

But this middle-aged man only had the cultivation of golden elixir. After Gu Yesheng received this palm, his body only swayed and hissed: "I'm crazy. I've been crazy for a long time. It's all because of you that you drove me crazy! Obviously I followed My cousin is in love, but you force her to marry into Youdu, I will never allow this to happen! "

The middle-aged man jumped up and tried to pull him, but he couldn't pull him at all. He had to slap him one after another, and shouted angrily: "The sky has no eyes, how could my Ju family give birth to such an evil son like you?" Are you willing to have your whole family buried with you?"

"No, I just want to take my cousin away." Gu Ye let his father beat him, walked towards Su Luo step by step, stretched out a hand, and said sadly: "Cousin..."

Su Luo had fallen down on the steps at this time, shaking his head with tears streaming down his face, but murmuring: "No, no, I can't..."

At this time, a hand was stretched out sideways, and before anyone could see clearly, Gu Ye was sent flying out and hit the ground with a bang!

But it was Su Luo's sister Hong Chang who had caught up. Her face was calm, but her black eyes were as cold as blades, and her chilling chill spread out without scruple.

"Ju! Liang! Shao! Normally, for the sake of my aunt, I tolerate you three points, but you dare to ruin Su Luo's concubine ceremony and make the entire Senluo City a laughing stock!"

She glanced up, a hint of awe flashed in her eyes, and shouted to the palace platform on the side: "Are all the people in Senluo City dead? Why don't you quickly fork him out and throw him directly into the blood prison!"

Her momentum was astonishing and shocked the whole audience. Under her angry shouts, someone finally reacted and four or five people rushed out from the hall.

Even if Gu Ye was injured, he was a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and a sword cultivator. Naturally, he refused to surrender. As he went to fight with those few people, he shouted: "Cousin, please! I am sincere to my cousin." Yes, please let us go!”

"No, no, sister!" On the other side, Su Luo grabbed her sleeve and begged: "No, sister, my cousin is obviously confused. I persuade him, he will definitely leave, don't Throw him into the bloody prison, where once he goes in, it will be difficult to get out..."

Hong Shang's cold expression finally showed cracks. Seeing how she looked like this, she still didn't understand. She said with hatred and anger: "Shut up! If you hadn't been pampered since childhood, how dare you be so bold? The people around you None of those people can escape!"

Su Luo only held her hand, crying and begging.

Hongshang closed her eyes tiredly, pulled her up, and said with a disappointed look on her face: "When I asked you if you were willing, how did you answer me? If you had shown even the slightest reluctance, I would have agreed. Lieutenant General, are you marrying into Youdu?"

Su Luo lowered his head and sobbed: "Sister, you only have family in your eyes. Even if I say it, what's the use? You obviously know that my cousin and I have been together since we were young..."

"Shut up!" Hong Shang was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her tone became extremely tough: "Don't forget your identity! I don't want to hear those nonsense again. It's time for you to learn to take responsibility!"

Su Luo clutched her wedding dress tightly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and she raised her head, her eyes full of hatred.

But Hongshang had turned her head and didn't see it at all. Seeing that those people couldn't catch Gu Ye, she shouted angrily: "They are all trash!"

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Zhaoyang who was standing at the top of the stone steps. She knelt down on one knee and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "Emperor, our Senluo family will definitely give Youdu an explanation for what happened today. Please consider the situation in the past." Please give us some time."

Emperor Zhaoyang, who had always been expressionless, smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

Hongshang took a deep breath, stood up, waved away the sister who was clinging to her, pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, turned it into a long sword, and flew towards Gu Ye!

Guye used his sword to force away the entangled people. He closed his sword and flew into the sky when the sword light struck.

For a moment, the sword intent was seen rising into the sky, and the sky was filled with sword light.

…

While watching this farce made people tremble with fear, many people secretly exclaimed that they were enjoying themselves. I believe that in less than a day, what happened today will spread throughout the Jiuyou Realm. Senluo City will be greatly embarrassed this time!

What made everyone confused was that Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor, who was supposed to beat Gu Ye to death as soon as he appeared, did not say a word or stop anyone.

At this time, he waved, and a tall male cultivator in armor immediately came to his side.

After saying a few words in a low voice, Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor turned around and left, surrounded by a group of maids and watched by everyone.

The male cultivator walked to the front of the stage, and his cold and solemn eyes swept over the various cultivators below with different expressions. Everyone who looked at him could not help but look away.

No one expected such a thing to happen. Now people from all over the world gathered in Youdu. They originally came to congratulate them, but instead they watched a good show for free. Now not only Senluo City, but also Youdu has lost all face. Because of Hongshang, Luo Fengshan is also involved.

If there weren't so many people watching the ceremony, Emperor Zhaoyang, who had been cuckolded for no reason, would have ordered the palace gates to be closed and the hall to be bloodbathed to prevent such a shame and humiliation from spreading.

Everyone's desire to watch the show was suppressed, and they heard the male cultivator say coldly: "This is the end of the ceremony. Please exit Dayou Palace in order."

Naturally, no one dared to raise objections at this time. Soon, attendants came to guide the way and led the crowd outside the palace.

When Liu Qinghuan followed the crowd outside, his attention was still focused on the top of his head.

Gu Ye's sword was as cold and arrogant as he himself, with one sword strike, it was unstoppable, but Hong Shang, who was dueling with him, used a very domineering sword intention, opening and closing it as if he were a king dominating the world, making people feel like When he saw it, he felt a sense of sincerity and fear.

Liu Qinghuan felt awe-struck in his heart. It was the first time he saw someone wielding a sword so domineeringly, and the other person was a woman, which was even more incredible.

He couldn't help but think: If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to block the opponent's move at all. In comparison, if he were to fight Gu Ye now, he would probably be only among the best.

And Gu Ye was able to survive Hongshang for so long only because the other party was merciful and did not kill anyone.

However, when he walked out of the palace gate, the last thing he saw was that Gu Ye fell from the mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

"Tsk, tsk, what happened today is true!"

Returning to Feng Xian's residence, he immediately couldn't help but jump up with excitement, and exclaimed: "Now it's better, I dare say that the whole Youdu is boiling now, and every teahouse and every restaurant is probably talking about it. this matter."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Two fellow Taoists, what do you think will happen next? Is it possible that Youdu and Senluo City are at odds with each other?"
