Chapter 56: Auspicious Day

"If you want to accuse me, I won't be without a defense. Ye Chen, I'll fight you!"

The First Peak erupted with a tremendous wave, and an overwhelming pressure was about to envelop the entire mountain peak, but soon, it disappeared without a sound.

"What happened? Why do I feel like there's a true immortal battling on the First Peak?"

"With such a surge of spiritual power, a true immortal must have made a move. What's going on?"

Many disciples of the First Peak looked up, not having heard any sound, but they were affected by the immense pressure.

"He just came back and sparred with Elder Zhi Jian, and now he's making a move against True Immortal Ye Long. Does Ye Chen, relying on his powerful cultivation, want to slaughter the sect?"

Some true immortals who had caught a glimpse of the situation whispered.

Heaven Burial Mountain.

Chen Shen carefully watched this annual family cleansing drama.

It must be said that Ye Chen was truly ruthless. Ye Long, a true immortal at the seventh level of the Gold Core stage, was killed without leaving any mercy.

"Is it because he has reached the peak of the Gold Core stage, and for true immortals who have ulterior motives, even if their surname is Ye, they must be killed?"

The next day, Ye Long's charges came out: embezzling spirit mines, harming fellow disciples, and having secret dealings with the annihilated Tianmo Sect...

The disciples were shocked. A senior true immortal was executed by the sect master like this?

"We had just unified the Ten Kingdoms not long ago, and it was peaceful when Young Sect Master Ye was in charge. The sect master just came back and such things happened. I'm afraid the sect won't be peaceful from now on."

"Be careful what you say. This is the Supreme Sect Master's decision."

In the days following Ye Long's death, there was much discussion among the entire sect, and even Ye Long's faction brought the matter to the sect master.

But soon, there was no more commotion.

Ye Chen brought up old accounts and made it clear that Ye Long's past actions deserved death. His son didn't dare to make this decision at that time, but now he would.

The supporting faction wanted to argue, but they had nothing to say and could only give up.

It was like a rebellion in a secular kingdom. If the nine clans were not exterminated, they should be grateful and not dare to cause trouble.

As for the disciples who were just watching the show, they could do whatever they wanted. It wasn't their place to comment on the matters of true immortals.

However, there were also a small number of people who were fearful and uneasy. They were the core members who had participated in the rebellion with Ye Long.

"Father, are you going to deal with others as well?"

Ye Shuangman asked, as many true immortals had intentionally or unintentionally asked him about his father's attitude and whether there was a possibility of cleansing the sect.

"More than half of those who participated in that incident have already been dealt with. If I were to take further action, the unity of the sect would surely be shattered. I am not a ruthless person. Killing Ye Long is enough; the others won't make a difference."

Ye Chen shook his head, he had his own plans.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Cangwu had once again returned to calm, without any disturbances.

...

A few more days passed, and it was an auspicious day, suitable for weddings!

On this day, the news of the upcoming marriage of the Young Sect Master of Cangwu spread throughout the sect.

"The goddess is getting married? It's a pity I won't be able to see her again. I really want to put a question mark on our relationship."

"You're so beautiful, you have everything, and you're still talking about relationships. Don't embarrass yourself."

"Don't talk about me. I clearly saw you wiping tears under the willow tree last night. Didn't you secretly love the goddess Lin?"

"Stop arguing, the goddess is also human. Of course, she has emotions and desires. It's time for her to get married, and all we can do... is get drunk at the Manxiang Tower and mourn my dead love. Sob sob X﹏X!"

When the news first came out, countless cultivators were heartbroken and filled with sorrow.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" When Chen Shen learned of the news, he also congratulated Mu Xiaojin with a fist.

"Congratulations for what?" The other person's face turned pale, and their eyes were full of confusion.

"Of course, congratulations on your marriage and the early birth of a noble child!"

This couldn't be said, saying it would expose everything.

However, it is obvious that both the injured disciple and Chen Shen have caused a misunderstanding.

"The young master and Lin Shujin have different ideas, and the engagement has long been canceled. You bunch of rumor-spreading dogs, now that the real master has spoken, the bride is the granddaughter of a true immortal."

After learning the truth, many people were furious. Who spread the rumors that made them sad for so many days?

But after bitterness comes sweetness, the goddess is still single and unmarried, and they all feel that there is still a chance.

The joyous day is set for ten days later, and everyone in the sect must attend.

In the cultivation world, when people become Dao companions, they usually make a lifelong commitment without cumbersome formalities, and it is straightforward.

However, important figures like these worldly formalities purely for the sake of face.

Mu Xiaojin doesn't have much time left, and she likes to gossip in her daily life. As a result, she ended up being the subject of gossip herself and was speechless for a while.

She stared at Chen Shen for a few more glances, always feeling that there was a deeper meaning behind his congratulations that day.

On the day of the joyous occasion, Chen Shen and Mu Xiaojin arrived at the First Peak together.

He originally planned to go alone, but the other party insisted on going together.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaojin was skilled in disguise, and no one recognized her. The journey went smoothly.

"Tens of thousands of people at the banquet, the first time in my life," Chen Shen said as he saw the huge square, the pavilions, and the seats in the sky.

His gaze swept over and found a table full of Qi Refining first-level disciples, curious and low-key miscellaneous disciples.

He quickly walked over and took a seat.

"Greetings, senior brother, senior sister!" Several miscellaneous disciples saluted one after another.

Chen Shen was wearing the outer sect attire, and Mu Xiaojin was also dressed in white.

After half an hour, a series of marriage customs were completed, and the feast could finally begin.

The true immortals served the dishes!

Several true immortals stood in mid-air and used their mana to distribute the prepared food and wine to the banquet tables.

With the ceremony over, there was no bridal chamber ritual. The bride was wearing a phoenix crown and looked quite beautiful.

She and Ye Shuangman toasted the distinguished guests at the honored guest table.

Either they were true immortal disciples or close friends and relatives.

As for the miscellaneous disciples, it was a great honor for them to be able to have a glass of wedding wine.

Moreover, the mining miscellaneous disciples were still busy mining.

"Hmm?" Chen Shen saw that the sect master Ye Chen was chatting and laughing with an old man.

"Gold Core seventh level perfection, just a little bit away from breaking through. Just as I expected." He scanned the old man with his divine sense, and when the bride called him grandpa, he understood.

There was no true love here, just a political marriage.

Chen Shen glanced strangely at the person next to him, and it seemed that the other party was not angry either.

In any case, Mu Xiaojin was still the one who had been rejected.

This person not only didn't say anything about the thirty years of the river's east and west, but also casually commented on the attire and appearance of the two newlyweds.

Chen Shen scanned the entire venue with his divine sense and suddenly heard a conversation among a group of young people at a table.

These people were dressed in luxurious silk and satin, and even their clothes were custom-made, costing thousands of spirit stones.

A young man who seemed to be from the main branch of the Ye family said, "In this month, I, your younger brother, have earned ten thousand spirit stones."

"Oh my, how did you do it?"

"My father took over a small mine. You understand what I mean, right?"

"This is the result of the entire sect. Are you being too greedy?"

"Come on, who among us here isn't? Since the sect master came back, I know that some of you have been staying at the Hehuan Tower for half a month. I want to ask, where did these spirit stones come from?"
