127: Chapter 127 You thought we were on the first floor?

"Guests are guests." Li Erxiao, sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Hanlei.

He cast a deep glance at Lin Fan, his gaze narrowing especially when he saw the two women behind Lin Fan whose auras were unfathomable.

"Since Brigadier General Lin is willing to grace us with his presence, it is an honor for the Li Family. Someone, bring a seat!"

Although Li Erxiao wished he could kill Lin Fan with a single strike, he was even more wary of Qin Cangjue sitting nearby. At this time, he absolutely could not lose his composure.

Several attendants brought over a chair, preparing to place it at the very end of the seating arrangement.

This was clearly an insult.

However.

Before Lin Fan could speak—

"Wait."

Qin Cangjue, who had been sitting in the main seat drinking tea, suddenly set down his teacup.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan, who was hovering in mid-air, a smile appearing on his face.

"Why sit so far away?"

Qin Cangjue reached out and patted the empty seat beside him—it was the spot originally reserved for another hidden expert.

"Lin Fan, come."

"Sit beside me."

The Heavenly Lord... actually invited him to sit?!

And to sit right beside the Heavenly Lord?!

This was treatment equal to his own!

The smile on Li Erxiao's face froze, and the hand holding his wine cup trembled.

Li Hanlei was so jealous that his face became distorted, and he clenched his fists tightly. Why?! Why could this Lin Fan receive such favor from the Heavenly Lord?!

"Since the Heavenly Lord has invited me, this junior will not stand on ceremony."

Lin Fan did not act coy.

His figure flashed, and he landed directly on the main stage.

Amidst countless gazes, Lin Fan sat down beside Qin Cangjue in a bold and relaxed manner.

Wang Linlin and Lu Tingting stood on his left and right, their powerful auras completely overshadowing Li Hanlei opposite them.

"Old Qin, you're a good friend."

Lin Fan picked up a spiritual fruit from the table, took a bite, and looked at Qin Cangjue. "The Li Family's fruit is not bad; it's quite sweet."

"If you like it, eat more."

Qin Cangjue smiled and glanced at the Li Family members below.

"After all... you might not have the mood to eat later."

Sitting beside the Heavenly Lord, Lin Fan was incredibly comfortable.

He not only ignored the dissatisfied gazes cast by the surrounding Dharma Aspect Lords, but even commented on the wedding decorations with great interest.

"Old Qin, look at that red lantern. Isn't it hanging a bit crooked?"

"And that carpet, the color is too deep; it's inauspicious."

Lin Fan complained while cracking melon seeds.

The surrounding guests listened, cold sweat dripping down their backs.

Big brother, this is the Li Family's territory; is it really okay to slap them in the face like this?

Qin Cangjue, however, did not care at all and instead smiled faintly: "Red is good; it's festive. Later... it will be even redder."

This old man and young man made the Li Family ancestor, Li Erxiao, so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his seven orifices, yet he could not lash out and could only force a smile and announce the continuation of the wedding.

"The auspicious time has arrived! The newlyweds shall bow!"

Following the emcee's loud shout.

Xue Linglong, dressed in a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, walked out, supported by two attendants. She wore a red bridal veil, making it impossible to see her expression, but her stiff gait clearly showed she was not so willing.

"Wait!"

Just then, according to the procedure, it was time for the "bride snatching" or "challenge" segment.

A younger cousin of the Li Family, Li Cong, suddenly jumped out, holding a long sword, and shouted loudly: "Cousin Hanlei is a dragon among men. If you want to marry the young lady of the Xue Family, you must first pass me! I want to challenge my cousin to add some excitement for everyone!"

"Good!"

A group of shills below immediately cheered.

Lin Fan curled his lip and spat out a melon seed shell: "Tsk, the script is already written. This acting is too exaggerated; there's no killing intent in his eyes at all. Bad review."

Qin Cangjue sipped his tea: "Don't expose what you've seen through."

Sure enough.

Although the two on stage were fighting with light and shadows flying everywhere, seemingly dangerous, it was actually all for show.

In less than ten moves.

Li Hanlei executed a dashing "Returning Wind Willow-Sweeping Sword," lightly flicking away Li Cong's long sword, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant.

"I accept your courtesy."

"Cousin, what great swordsmanship! This younger brother is impressed!" Li Cong retreated with a look of admiration.

"Good!!"

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.

Li Hanlei enjoyed the cheers of the crowd and looked provocatively at Lin Fan. The look in his eyes said: See that? This is the strength of this Young Master!

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and turned to Wang Linlin: "Linlin, did you see that? In the future, if you encounter such flashy moves, just smash them to death with your zither. Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Understood, Master!" Wang Linlin nodded obediently.

"Since no one objects, then..."

The emcee was about to announce the continuation.

"The newlyweds shall bow to each other——!!"

Just at the moment Li Hanlei and Xue Linglong were about to bow.

A sudden change occurred!

"Who said no one objects?!"

A voice suddenly rang out from the guest seats.

Immediately after.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the crowd, several Dharma Aspect Lord experts who had been clapping and cheering suddenly erupted without warning!

They all aimed their weapons at the other guests beside them, and also... the Li Family high-ranking members in the main seats!

"Die!!"

An old man in a black robe sitting in the front row suddenly tore off his disguise, a blood-red dagger appearing in his hand, which he fiercely stabbed toward a city lord beside him.

"Puff!!"

Blood splattered.

That city lord, who had the cultivation of the Heavenly Origin Realm, didn't even have time to react before his heart was pierced, and he died on the spot!

At the same time.

A dozen other experts also struck simultaneously.

In an instant, screams erupted everywhere, and blood stained the red carpet.

"Ah!!"

"There are assassins!!"

"It's the people from the Rebirth Hall!!"

The scene descended into chaos.

The most miserable were the Li Family.

To show off their strength, almost all their high-ranking members were near the main seats.

"Bang!!"

A dwarf assassin disguised as a gift-bearing child suddenly jumped out of a gift box and struck the unsuspecting Li Erxiao in the chest with his palm.

"Puff——!!"

Although Li Erxiao was a half-step Heavenly Lord, this strike was too sudden, and the opponent was also a peak Dharma Aspect Lord!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward, and smashed fiercely through the screen behind him.

"Ancestor!!"

Li Hanlei was terrified and stood frozen on the spot.

Just as Li Erxiao was about to land, in a sorry state.

A powerful hand steadily supported his back.

"What are you panicking about?"

Qin Cangjue, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally made a move. He supported Li Erxiao with one hand and gently set down his teacup with the other.

"Ding."

The teacup landed on the table.

The next second.

"Suppress."

Qin Cangjue spat out a single word softly.

Bang——!!!

A boundless force of stars erupted from his body.

It was as if the sky had collapsed.

The gravity of the entire Li Family manor increased a thousandfold at this moment!

"Crack! Crack!"

The Rebirth Hall assassins who were committing the murders froze in their movements.

They maintained their poses of swinging blades or throwing punches, their bones making creaking sounds of being unable to bear the load, and their feet sank deeply into the ground.

Even the blood splattered in the air was pressed directly down by this terrifying gravity.

The might of a Heavenly Lord is truly terrifying!

"Is this... a Heavenly Lord?"

Lin Fan sat in his seat, watching this scene, his gaze flickering.

Although he had reached the Flesh Body Achieves Sainthood and could do this as well, Qin Cangjue's effortless control was indeed seasoned and masterful.

"Scum of the Rebirth Hall."

Qin Cangjue stood up and swept his gaze over the dozen or so suppressed assassins.

"This lord has been waiting for you for a long time."

"So... you knew all along?"

The dwarf assassin who had ambushed Li Erxiao raised his head with difficulty, blood flowing from his seven orifices, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"Qin Cangjue, do you think you have won?"

"Oh?"

Qin Cangjue stood with his hands behind his back.

"A bunch of turtles in a jar, what kind of waves can you still make?"

"Hehehe..."

The dwarf assassin suddenly let out a strange laugh.

Not just him.

The dozen or so suppressed Dharma Aspect Lord assassins around him suddenly wore eerie smiles in unison.

The smiles were crazy, twisted, and full of a fanaticism of martyrdom.

"Heavenly Lord Qin, you underestimate our Hall Master too much."

The dwarf assassin grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Do you think we are on the first floor?"

"Actually... we are in the atmosphere!!"

"Sacrifice——Begin!!"

Following his roar.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The bodies of these dozen or so Dharma Aspect Lord experts unexpectedly exploded simultaneously without warning!

What exploded out was not flesh and blood.

Masses of black mist, thick to the extreme, spread out!

These black mists quickly gathered together, forming a huge black vortex in mid-air.
