84: Chapter 83 Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan Clash

As the days passed by, in the blink of an eye, the wedding day of Ling Yuan and Zi Yan was fast approaching.

All the major Dou Di Clanss dispatched representatives to the Spirit Realm to observe the ceremony, following the requirements of the invitations.

Everyone was curious about how grand this wedding, co-hosted by the top powers of the Ling Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, would be. They also wanted to use this opportunity to probe the true strength of these two major powers.

On the Gu Clan's side, they had initially decided on a candidate, planning to send a single Half-Saint Elder.

However, when news reached Gu Yuan's ears that Hun Tiandi was also going, he immediately changed his mind and decided to attend the ceremony in the Spirit Realm personally.

The Elders around him were puzzled, but Gu Yuan explained, "Since Hun Tiandi is going personally, I will also go see what kind of tricks he's trying to pull."

Hun Tiandi's movements had always been secretive; his active appearance this time was bound to be suspicious.

The Gu Clan and the Hun Clan had always been at odds. As the Gu Clan Chief, Gu Yuan naturally had to go to the Spirit Realm himself to see the Hun Clan's intentions and, while he was at it, get a sense of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's background.

As dawn just began to break, the entrance to the Spirit Realm started to become lively.

Representatives from the major Dou Di Clanss arrived one after another, all waiting in an orderly fashion as required by the invitations.

After all, it was a day of great joy for the Ling Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan; no one wanted to make a fool of themselves.

The representatives of the Gu, Yan, Lei, Yao, and Shi clans were already waiting.

Just then, a cold aura swept over. Everyone subconsciously looked over to see Hun Tiandi arriving alone.

"Haha, Gu Yuan, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be interested in attending the ceremony as well!"

Gu Yuan glanced at him, his tone icy as he retorted without hesitation, "Humph, since you, Hun Tiandi, are coming, I naturally have to come and see what your purpose is."

Hun Tiandi spread his hands. "What purpose could I have? I just wanted to come and congratulate Brother Ling, and congratulate my nephew Ling Yuan on his wedding."

Gu Yuan blurted out, "Back then, you also brought dozens of experts like this to congratulate Xiao Xuan?"

"Haha, that was a grudge between me and Xiao Xuan; it has nothing to do with others. Besides, wasn't the final beneficiary your Gu Clan? After Xiao Xuan died, where did the Xiao Clan's resources go? Gu Yuan, you should know that better than I do."

Hun Tiandi was suddenly amused, feeling that Gu Yuan was still as brainless as ever to dare use that incident to talk about him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and all eyes focused on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's face turned ashen.

He hadn't expected Hun Tiandi to admit it so openly and bring up the Gu Clan's shameful behavior back then in front of all these Dou Di Clanss.

Hun Tiandi and Xiao Xuan were at odds back then, so there was nothing unusual about the Hun Clan moving against Xiao Xuan.

But Gu Yuan had been on good terms with Xiao Xuan, yet he had taken advantage of the crisis to loot him, which was truly shameless.

Gu Yuan suppressed the rage in his heart, stared at Hun Tiandi, and shouted in a deep voice, "Hun Tiandi, if you don't have evidence, then don't stand here and slander my Gu Clan!"

Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "I didn't say the Gu Clan did it. Gu Yuan, why are you so eager to defend yourself? Could it be that I've hit the mark?"

"You..."

While the two Nine-Star Dou Sheng experts were facing off, the people from the other clans didn't interject, simply watching the drama unfold.

They were all hoping for the Hun Clan and the Gu Clan to start fighting and end up with both sides suffering.

This farce didn't last long before Grand Elder Great Elder Ling Xiao came out to stop it.

Great Elder Ling Xiao cupped his hands to everyone. "Clan Chiefs, Elders, you've worked hard on your journey. Please follow me into the Spirit Realm."

After speaking, he turned to lead the way. The representatives of the major clans followed in sequence, entering the Spirit Realm in an orderly manner.

Even those as strong as Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan did the same.

As soon as they stepped into the Spirit Realm, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

The entire Spirit Realm, from the entrance to the core main hall, was fully decorated in red.

Red silks were hung everywhere, embroidered with auspicious patterns.

In short, the entire Spirit Realm was a sea of red, extremely festive and spectacular...

The young girls who came to watch the ceremony looked at the scene before them, their eyes filled with envy.

What girl wouldn't want such a grand wedding?

From beginning to end, Hun Tiandi paid no attention to the festive scene before him.

He had been focusing on the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island, secretly investigating the auras of the experts from both clans.

Of course, the focus was still on the experts of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

But he quickly discovered that Dragon Island was shrouded in a powerful grand array. Even with his strength, he could not penetrate it for investigation.

He could only wait for the Ancient Void Dragon experts to come out themselves.

Looking at the locations again, the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island were almost pressed together.

If the Ling Clan encountered danger, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan experts on Dragon Island would only need an instant to arrive in the Spirit Realm to provide support.

This meant that it was already impossible for the Hun Clan to quietly annihilate the Ling Clan.

The Hun Clan's thousand-year plan to "defeat the major Dou Di Clanss one by one" was at stake.

Now the Ling Clan had the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan backing them up.

If they were to be defeated one by one in order, the Ling Clan would at least have to be ranked after the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan.

For the Hun Clan, this was somewhat disadvantageous.

However, as long as the Nine-Star Dou Sheng wasn't from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the problem wouldn't be too big.

The Clan Chiefs and Elders of the other families were also secretly observing the movements of the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island, though they didn't think as much as Hun Tiandi.

They simply sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the official start of the wedding.

...

When the auspicious hour arrived, the wedding began.

The Spirit Realm square, which had been buzzing with discussion, instantly fell silent.

The people from the major Dou Di Clanss all put away their private thoughts and sat obediently in their seats to observe the ceremony.

Just then, a crisp phoenix cry echoed from the sky, the sound resonating through heaven and earth. Everyone subconsciously looked up, and a shocking scene appeared.

Nine massive Heavenly Demon Phoenixes dove down from the clouds, lining up neatly in a row, pulling an exquisitely decorated large red bridal sedan behind them.

The red sedan was made entirely of spirit jade, embroidered with patterns of dragons and phoenixes bringing prosperity. Countless jewels hung from the sedan curtains, swaying gently as the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes flew. The scene was exaggerated to the extreme.

This scene instantly stunned the onlookers, and immediately after, uncontrollable gasps of amazement rang out across the square.

"This is too exaggerated! They're actually using nine Half-Saint level Heavenly Demon Phoenixes to pull the wedding sedan!"

This was ruthlessly pressing the face of the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes into the ground and stomping on it frantically!

And it wasn't over yet.

As the nine phoenixes pulling the sedan slowly flew over the Spirit Realm square, another low dragon roar echoed from the sky behind them. The sound was heavy, making people's eardrums ache.

Over forty giant dragons flew out from the clouds one after another. Their bodies were massive, their scales shimmering with a purple-gold luster. Their combined pressure caused the air in this part of the world to stagnate.

The giant dragon at the very front was a size larger than the others, and its aura was the most powerful, with a length of nearly ten thousand zhang!

The experts present could clearly feel that the aura of every single dragon had reached the level of a Dou Sheng. They were genuine Dou Shengs, not Half-Saints.
