79: Rescue Plan

Today, the Grand Elder's mansion was adorned with a dazzling array of flower baskets, both inside and out.

The entrance was decorated with lanterns and streamers, presenting a joyful and festive scene.

Bright red lanterns hung high everywhere, illuminating the surroundings with a crimson glow.

Auspicious couplets and large ' 囍' (double happiness) characters were pasted on doors and windows, their vibrant red seemingly wanting to dye the entire world into an ocean of joy.

At this moment, inside the mansion, a long, crimson carpet, like a path of burning flames, extended from the interior of the residence all the way outside.

Today was the wedding day of Zeng Wenjie, the Grand Elder's most beloved grandson. This was considered a grand event for the Wuji Holy Land, so most of the attendees were high-ranking members of the Holy Land and exceptionally talented Disciples.

Due to the overwhelming number of well-wishers, the large Elder's mansion was almost packed to the brim.

Yang Lingchen, dressed in a festive red robe and beaming with a warm smile, was busily greeting the guests who had come to offer gifts.

Just then, Wang Yuyan appeared in the main hall. Her ethereal, immortal-like demeanor exuded an awe-inspiring majesty and nobility that made people dare not look directly at her.

Fortunately, Yang Lingchen had Cultivated a special Cultivation Technique that could conceal his aura and Physique, otherwise, she might have noticed something amiss again.

"Greetings, Holy Lord." Everyone quickly bowed in salutation.

"Welcome, Holy Lord, please take the honored seat," Zeng Shouchén said respectfully, bowing.

"Mm! You may continue!"

Wang Yuyan slowly sat down in the honored seat, while Zeng Shouchén carefully attended to her side.

Finally, it was time to welcome the bride. A grand red sedan chair and carriage majestically approached from the Holy Lord Peak.

Surrounding the sedan chair were eight powerful maidservants, the very same eight who had previously scrubbed Yang Lingchen's back.

"Jieer, aren't you going to receive your bride?" Zeng Shouchén said with a chuckle.

"Yes, Grandfather."

Yang Lingchen replied and then walked with firm steps towards the grand red sedan chair.

He had been waiting for this moment.

Just then, the sedan chair steadily stopped at the mansion's entrance.

Yang Lingchen quickly stepped forward to greet her.

He lifted the sedan chair's curtain and saw Xiao Qingyun, her head covered with a red cloth, sitting quietly inside.

Although her head was covered by the red cloth, Yang Lingchen could clearly sense that it was Xiao Qingyun, and he discovered that her cultivation level had been sealed by Wang Yuyan.

However, for Yang Lingchen, breaking this Restriction was still very easy.

"Little rascal, did you miss me?" Yang Lingchen used Soul Sound Transmission to speak to Xiao Qingyun.

At this, Xiao Qingyun's body trembled slightly, and she looked up at Yang Lingchen.

"Don't speak, I'll find a way to save you. Just cooperate with me," Yang Lingchen continued to transmit.

"My dear wife, your husband is here to help you," Yang Lingchen said with a slight smile, then carefully helped Xiao Qingyun out of the sedan chair.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyun was incredibly moved, and she instinctively leaned against Yang Lingchen.

Xiao Qingyun had thought that Yang Lingchen had no feelings for her at all, but the moment she heard Yang Lingchen's voice, she almost cried with emotion.

During this time, she had been worried about Yang Lingchen, even thinking that he might have been killed by that wretched woman, Wang Yuyan.

Supported by Yang Lingchen, the two arrived in the wedding hall.

"You must endure later and listen to me. Don't mess things up! Otherwise, we'll die a terrible death," Yang Lingchen instructed via Sound Transmission.

Just then, the wedding officiant stepped forward.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth."

Xiao Qingyun cooperated perfectly, kneeling with Yang Lingchen.

"Second bow to the honored Elders."

This time, Xiao Qingyun hesitated to kneel. Yang Lingchen quickly transmitted, "Qingyun, just pretend you're bowing to a dead person!"

Hearing Yang Lingchen's words, Xiao Qingyun, though unwilling, still bowed.

"Good, good, good," Zeng Shouchén said, laughing happily.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

"Into the bridal chamber."

Yang Lingchen, looking impatient, pulled Xiao Qingyun and quickly walked towards the bridal chamber.

"Hahahahaha..." Laughter echoed from the guests behind them.

Soon, Yang Lingchen led Xiao Qingyun to the bridal chamber, then told all the servants, "You may all leave! No eavesdropping."

"Yes, Young Revered Master." The servants respectfully left the courtyard one by one.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen quickly walked up to Xiao Qingyun and gently lifted the red veil from her head with one hand.

"Yang Lingchen, how did you become like this?" Xiao Qingyun stared intently at Yang Lingchen, her eyes full of doubt.

At this, Yang Lingchen quickly performed the Shadow Shifting technique, instantly returning to his original appearance.

"You scoundrel, I thought I'd never see you again," Xiao Qingyun said, her beautiful eyes moist and her voice trembling slightly.

"Aren't we seeing each other now? Where are Revered Master and your father?" Yang Lingchen asked, his expression full of concern.

"Grandpa and Father are still locked in the Heavenly Prison." Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyun's tears welled up again, her sorrowful expression heartbreaking.

"Don't be sad. Let's focus on living well first, then slowly figure out how to save them. Today is our wedding day, so the main business is more important," Yang Lingchen said, comforting her with a smile.

"Does this count as us being married?" Xiao Qingyun blinked, asking with a hint of uncertainty.

"Of course, it does. We've already bowed to Heaven and Earth, so what do you think?" Yang Lingchen replied with a smile... "Why are you all outside?" Zeng Shouchén asked the servants.

"Reporting to Grand Elder, Young Revered Master chased us out and forbade us from listening," a maidservant cautiously replied.

"This boy is shy. I'll go listen," Zeng Shouchén said, then quietly walked over... "Qingyun, Zeng Shouchén is eavesdropping," Yang Lingchen transmitted.

"What should we do then?" Xiao Qingyun asked anxiously.

"What else can we do? Of course, we'll consummate the marriage!"

Yang Lingchen directly picked up Xiao Qingyun and gently placed her by the bed.

Immediately, an intense 'battle' unfolded.

"Good boy, worthy of being my grandson, he's been at it for so long," Zeng Shouchén muttered to himself, then left.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingyun's Restriction had been completely broken by Yang Lingchen.

Another seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these seven days, the two of them barely left the room.

With Yang Lingchen's assistance, Xiao Qingyun's cultivation level actually broke through all the way to the fourth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm.

Naturally, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level also progressed, successfully breaking through to the fifth level of the Gui Xuan Realm.

"Qingyun, quickly Cultivate this Cultivation Technique. It can be used to conceal your aura, so Wang Yuyan won't be able to discover that you've recovered your cultivation level."

Yang Lingchen copied a Secret Manual and handed it to Xiao Qingyun, saying.

"Where did you get these Secret Manuals?" Xiao Qingyun asked curiously.

"That's your husband's secret," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Have you thought of a way to save Grandpa?" Xiao Qingyun asked, her face full of anticipation.

During this time, if not for Yang Lingchen's persuasion, she would have impulsively rushed to save her father and grandfather alone.

"I've thought of a way," Yang Lingchen said in a low voice.

"What way? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Qingyun asked anxiously.

"Currently, only Wang Yuyan or Zeng Shouchén can approach the Heavenly Prison, and trying to start with Wang Yuyan would be as difficult as ascending to heaven," Yang Lingchen slowly began.

"So you plan to start with Zeng Shouchén?" Xiao Qingyun asked.

"Exactly. My plan is for the two of us to find an opportunity to directly kill Zeng Shouchén, and then I'll impersonate Zeng Shouchén to rescue them from the Heavenly Prison," Yang Lingchen mused.

"Zeng Shouchén is a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm! How can the two of us kill him?" Xiao Qingyun frowned, saying worriedly.

"Now Zeng Shouchén treats me as his own grandson, so he definitely won't be on guard against me. We can first poison him and then ambush him. There's still a chance that way," Yang Lingchen said.

"Mm, mm, it seems that's the only way," Xiao Qingyun said after a moment of contemplation.
