157: Tensions high

This day was precisely the wedding day of Li Daoxuan and Yaoyao.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Leader also sensed an anomaly; although he was not yet sure what it was, he always felt that an accident would occur at this wedding.

“Grand Elder, have you also sensed something?”

The Grand Elder retorted, “I’ve been in seclusion recently, recovering my cultivation, so I don’t know anything.”

“You’re saying at the wedding, will it…”

“Very likely!”

The Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Leader said with a grave expression, “Should I still give orders to send more people?”

“All out! All Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples, and all Elders, must attend the wedding, just in case.”

“Good!”

Everyone in the Heavenly Demon Sect was dispatched, but most were hidden in the shadows.

The entire Heavenly Demon Sect was filled with joy and bustling with people; the number of attendees at this wedding was strangely high, and the atmosphere was also very oppressive.

“The auspicious time has arrived! Please welcome the newlyweds!”

Swish! Everyone turned their heads to look towards the entrance of the main hall, but then a surprising scene appeared.

“Why are there three people?” The crowd had already begun to whisper.

“Hmph! Three people? I don’t think this wedding can proceed.”

“Fellow Daoist, why do you say that?”

“I tell you, there will be a good show to watch soon…”

“……”

Li Daoxuan held Mei Niang’s right hand and Yaoyao’s left hand, and the three walked leisurely into the main hall, but strangely, there was no one on the high platform in the hall.

Logically, the Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Leader and the Grand Elder were Yaoyao’s Elders.

However, neither of them dared to sit on the high platform.

Li Daoxuan’s strength was not inferior to theirs; in the cultivation world, the capable come first and strength is respected, so in their hearts, they interacted with Li Daoxuan as equals.

Also, the two wanted to guard in secret to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

“The wedding ceremony now begins!” It was actually the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Grand Elder personally presiding over the wedding, which surprised everyone.

“First bow to heaven…”

“Wait! I do not agree to this marriage.”

Swish! Everyone turned their heads to look; who was this person who dared to be so bold? Wasn’t this slapping the Heavenly Demon Sect’s face?

Yaoyao and Mei Niang’s small hands tightened, unconsciously clenching.

Li Daoxuan showed no fluctuation, his expression still calm, but in his heart, Li Daoxuan had already sentenced the newcomer to death.

The Grand Elder angrily said, “Do you Blood Demon Sect want to tear off all pretense and become complete enemies with us?”

“Hahaha… Grand Elder, what kind of talk is that?”

“We want to form a marital alliance with the Heavenly Demon Sect as a sign of friendship.”

Buzz~ The guests attending the ceremony exploded; this was clearly here to cause trouble.

“What do you mean by that?” The Grand Elder’s expression had already turned cold.

“I am here on behalf of our Blood Demon Sect Saint to propose marriage, seeking to marry the Heavenly Demon Saintess, Miss Yaoyao.”

Whoa!

This was no longer just causing trouble; this was a blatant slap in the face.

“Presumptuous!”

People from the Blood God Hall, Myriad Souls Valley, Refining Corpse Hall, Blood Fiend Sect, Fallen Demon Valley, Evil Monarch Manor, Asura Sect, and Blood Sword Gate also stood out.

“We all support the Blood Demon Sect Saint marrying the Heavenly Demon Saintess!”

The Grand Elder was also a bit at a loss; this matter had already exceeded his control, and it was no longer something the Heavenly Demon Sect could suppress.

The Nine Demonic Sects had actually joined forces simultaneously; was it really necessary?

The Nine Demonic Sects, each individually, were not much weaker than the Heavenly Demon Sect, yet they had joined forces simultaneously.

Many smaller Sects were also shocked; what exactly had the Heavenly Demon Sect done to provoke all Nine Demonic Sects at once?

Li Daoxuan calmly watched this scene; he wanted to see what the Heavenly Demon Sect’s attitude would be.

If the Heavenly Demon Sect abandoned him, then he would sever all ties with the Heavenly Demon Sect from now on, and of course, Yaoyao would be taken away.

If the Heavenly Demon Sect firmly supported Li Daoxuan, then he would acknowledge the Heavenly Demon Sect as a friend.

Everyone looked at Li Daoxuan on the stage with a sneer; who told him to marry Yaoyao, this Saintess, and even two at once?

Now there was a good show to watch.

However, seeing Li Daoxuan’s expression as usual, he even… he even directly grabbed the bride’s hand, which made them even more jealous.

Li Daoxuan felt Yaoyao and Mei Niang’s nervousness and comforted the two of them.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Leader and the Grand Elder could no longer hide; now everyone was waiting for the Heavenly Demon Sect’s attitude.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Leader said with a grim expression, “Do you really want to do this? Have you thought it through?”

The Blood Demon Sect’s Elder smiled and said, “Actually, we don’t want to be enemies with the Heavenly Demon Sect either, as long as Sect Master, you retract the marriage contract and hand this person over to us to deal with.”

“We will immediately retreat!”

At this point, their objective was finally exposed; they were eyeing Li Daoxuan, or more accurately, eyeing Li Daoxuan’s supreme treasure.

The mysterious box, whatever Magic Treasure it was, seeing that the first layer of the seven-story small pagoda contained a butian stone, what would the second and third layers hold?

To obtain the treasure, their Nine Sects did not hesitate to unite.

“Heavenly Devil Sect Master, how have you considered it?”

The Heavenly Demon Sect’s Grand Elder, with his fiery temper, burst out cursing, “A bunch of brats, what is there to consider?! Just do it!”

“My Heavenly Demon Sect may not have much else, but we understand gratitude.”

“I agree with the Grand Elder!” The Heavenly Demon Sect Master firmly stood behind the Grand Elder.

“I also support the Grand Elder’s decision!”

“Me too!!”

“……”

All Ten Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood out, and behind them, a crowd of Disciples also stood out.

“Heh! Heh! Heh! Old ghost, when did you become so backbone?”

A blood mist appeared directly in the main hall, and then a figure slowly emerged; the newcomer was entirely blood-red, especially his hair, eyebrows, and beard, which were also eerily red.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Grand Elder said with a solemn expression, “Old Blood Demon, you actually came in person?”

“Hahaha… Since you’ve personally entered the fray, how could this venerable one not come?”

The Heavenly Demon Sect Grand Elder looked around and said loudly, “And which other old ghost has come? Come out directly; this old man will face you all at once.”

“Hahaha……”

“Heavenly Demon Ancestor, long time no see, you still haven’t made any progress!”

One… two… three… five!

There were actually five Great Ascension Stage demonic Cultivators; at this point, Li Daoxuan’s expression finally showed some fluctuation.

These guys really thought highly of him, actually dispatching five Great Ascension Stage Cultivators.

One must know that besides the Heavenly Demon Sect’s high-ranking officials knowing some of Li Daoxuan’s strength, other demonic Sects were not clear about Li Daoxuan’s strength.

Yet, even so, they still dispatched five Great Ascension Stage Cultivators.

It seems there will definitely be a great battle today!

He, Li Daoxuan, had no fear!

Whether they had any Crossing Tribulation Stage Cultivators, Li Daoxuan was unsure, but if it was just a few Great Ascension Stage Cultivators, he truly had no fear.

Facing the Nine Great Demon Generals, Li Daoxuan could still make them run in circles.

What’s more, a group of demonic Cultivators!
