356: Chapter 366 This wood's bloodline is too domineering! Sword Emperor Mountain arrives!

After Mu Linglong returned to the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan, she locked herself within the Ice Soul Immortal Palace, closing the doors tightly and not stepping out a single step.

The grand wedding, which should have been adorned with lanterns and decorations, was now shrouded in an oppressive, deathly silence.

Patriarch Mu Chuan stood outside the Ice Soul Immortal Palace, gazing at the tightly shut door. It felt as if a heavy wall was pressing down on his heart, making even breathing feel burdensome.

"Patriarch... why don't we just return the betrothal gifts from Sword Emperor Mountain?"

The Saint Elder of the ancient clan standing beside Patriarch Mu Chuan spoke in a low voice, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes as he tried to persuade him.

"If the Blood-colored Passage truly cannot be held, the worst that can happen is we withdraw the entire clan from the Sword Domain and head to the Life Star Domain! For the sake of the Sword Emperor's Face, Empress Luyin will certainly not watch us die without intervening!"

In truth, most Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan had the proud bones of a Sword Cultivator flowing in their marrow. They would rather die on the battlefield than see their own Young Miss treated as a bargaining chip to be married off to a scumbag with such a notorious reputation as Young Master Yifeng!

However, they had no choice but to obey the decision made by the Patriarch for the sake of the bigger picture.

"...Let me consider it."

Patriarch Mu Chuan did not immediately agree, nor did he refuse.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly extending his right hand.

"Clang—"

A longsword that had been shelved for nearly ten million years reappeared in his hand.

Without looking back, Patriarch Mu Chuan clutched the sword and walked slowly, step by step, toward the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain located in the deepest part of the Forbidden Ground.

His originally hunched figure seemed to straighten slightly at this moment.

The Saint Elder first looked at Patriarch Mu Chuan's lonely figure, then gazed toward Mu Linglong's sealed room, letting out a deep sigh.

"Sigh~ In the end, it is our incompetence as old bones that has dragged the Young Miss down..."

However.

People on the outside had no idea what kind of turmoil was currently raging within the heart of Mu Linglong, who was sitting cross-legged inside the Ice Soul Immortal Palace!

"Whoosh!"

Mu Linglong suddenly opened her beautiful, clear-spring-like eyes, her gaze filled with shock!

Just moments ago, she had been preparing to calm her mind and stabilize her Realm, but she clearly sensed... that the "thing" which had abruptly appeared in her lower abdomen was not at all what she had previously thought!

It was a new life... containing supreme Sword Qi and boundless vitality!

It was absorbing her immortal power as nourishment, and the speed of absorption was extremely fast!

"It can't be... How is this possible?!"

Mu Linglong covered her flat lower abdomen in a panic: "Su Jin and I... in the Sword God Domain, all things considered, only spent a short day together... and I'm already pregnant?!"

"This blockhead's Bloodline... is just too overbearing!"

Mu Linglong bit her red lips with a complex expression.

Unbidden, Su Jin's cold and aloof Face appeared in her mind, along with his indomitable figure on the heavenly stairs as he ignored Young Master Yifeng's threats, and also... the gentle yet unrefusable forceful kiss he gave her in the Enlightenment Pool.

As she thought about this, a strong sense of hope and maternal instinct suddenly surged from the depths of Mu Linglong's previously dead-gray heart.

"Now that I have a child... I absolutely cannot die!"

"And I certainly cannot let that animal Young Master Yifeng touch me! Otherwise, if something happens to the child, how could I explain it to Su Jin?"

Mu Linglong's eyes instantly became incomparably sharp, and the glazed Sword Qi that had previously been restrained around her body surged wildly once more, emitting a deadly sharpness akin to a mother protecting her young!

"For the sake of the child... I must be strong!"

"But what about the Family..." Mu Linglong thought of the billions of lives in the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan, and her expression gradually dimmed.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

With Young Master Yifeng utilizing Sword Emperor Mountain to intentionally propagate and fuel the situation, almost all the forces and Loose Cultivators in the entire Sword Domain knew that he was about to marry the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan's Young Miss, Mu Linglong, today.

In teahouses, taverns, and interstellar stations across the Sword Domain, this matter became the hottest topic of conversation.

"Sigh, having a good Emperor for a father really is different! Whatever resources you want, or whichever goddess you fancy, just tell your old man and it's yours."

"Hmph! If I were Young Master Yifeng, I wouldn't be like him at all!"

"I didn't realize it, but this Fellow Daoist actually has such principles and bottom lines. You are truly worthy of being a Sword Cultivator with iron bones in our Sword Domain!"

"No, no, no, Fellow Daoist, you probably misunderstood. I am not a local of the Sword Domain... What I meant was, if I were Young Master Yifeng, with that kind of background, I would play even more perversely and excessively than him!!"

"Get lost!!!"

Although most of the low-level Loose Cultivators were just watching the spectacle, believing the marriage between the two strongest forces was a normal operation for the strong to protect one another.

But in the eyes of those top-tier forces, what they saw was completely different from ordinary people!

On the flying ship of Spirit Sword Villa, the Grand Elder looked at the Void Realm ahead, which was adorned with lanterns and festive decorations, and shook his head with repeated sighs.

"It is a pity for such a good Glazed Sword Body like Mu Linglong's. Such a stunning female Sword Cultivator is simply being treated by the Sword Emperor as a breeding chip to Cultivate offspring!"

In the eyes of these old monsters, Mu Linglong, as the most potential-filled peerless Prodigy of the younger generation who also possessed an extremely rare top-tier Sword Body, was truly too much of a waste to be used as a tool for reproduction!

For the sake of continuing his own Bloodline, the Sword Emperor letting Mu Linglong marry Young Master Yifeng was effectively cutting off Mu Linglong's future!

The Sect Master of the Tyrant Sword Sect nearby interrupted impatiently: "Enough! Stop being so compassionate and sentimental here. Let's get to the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan for the banquet earlier. Compared to this meaningless marriage, I would rather take the opportunity of all the forces gathering to inquire more about that Sword Cultivator in the straw cloak, Su Jin!"

As soon as the name Su Jin was mentioned, this group of big shots from top-tier Sects decisively changed the subject, their eyes all erupting with intense interest.

"I have heard from the Disciples under my Sect. After this boy entered the Sword God Domain, he was not teleported out when the time expired!"

"Could it be... that he truly obtained the recognition of the Sword Soul?! And has the qualifications to remain in the God Domain to Cultivate?"

"Given his terrifying Aptitude that allowed him to break through the one-hundredth layer of the heavenly stairs, it's really hard to say! This boy's future achievements might even surpass the Sword Emperor!"

Accompanied by the discussions of various forces, some just watching the show and others with ulterior motives.

Above the Sword Domain, countless massive sword-ships decorated with red silk and the character for 'happiness' gathered, resembling a red auspicious cloud covering the sky and the sun, surging majestically toward the territory of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan!

The grandiosity of the spectacle almost alarmed the entire star system of the Sword Domain!

Countless rare birds and beasts cleared the way in front, immortal music drifted in the air, and flower petals were scattered across the sky!

The mountain gates of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan territory were thrown wide open.

Although the Elders within the ancient clan had ugly expressions, forced by the tyranny of Sword Emperor Mountain, they still had to squeeze out stiff smiles to welcome the guests at the mountain gate.

And at the very front of that massive wedding procession!

Young Master Yifeng, dressed in luxurious red wedding robes with dark gold patterns, rode a majestic Immortal Rank Immortal Beast, the Cloud-Stepping Gold Crystal Beast, and arrived triumphantly before the main hall of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan!

He looked down condescendingly at the tightly shut Ice Soul Immortal Palace, his eyes flashing with intense desire for conquest. Channeling his full immortal power, his arrogant voice boomed across the entire ancient clan territory:

"Young Master Yifeng of Sword Emperor Mountain!"

"In accordance with the marriage contract between our two clans! Today, I have come specifically to marry the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan's Young Miss—Mu Linglong!!!"
