Chapter 306: Chapter 306
After entering the city, Zhao Letian immediately took out the Communication Jade Scroll to send a message to his mother.
However, just like before, he was still unable to contact her.
That is to say, his mother most likely had not returned to Qingzhou City.
"Perhaps, Mother is in seclusion and cultivating at the Zhao Family residence."
Zhao Letian was still unwilling to give up, gazing in the direction of the Zhao Family, he silently thought to himself.
The next moment, he stepped onto a flying sword, transforming into a streak of sword light with astonishing speed, heading straight for the Zhao Mansion.
Today at the Zhao Family, it could be said that happiness arrived on both fronts, with lanterns hung and colored ribbons strung up everywhere, extraordinarily lively.
This day, not only was it the annual assessment day for the Zhao Family, but it was also the wedding day of Zhao Family's young master, Zhao Lingfeng.
The geniuses of the Zhao Family who studied abroad all rushed back today, and even the Iron Sword Sect, where Zhao Lingfeng belonged, sent powerful figures to offer congratulations to the Zhao Family, signifying the sect's importance placed on Zhao Lingfeng.
Before long, Zhao Letian flew directly above the Zhao Mansion, his powerful Divine Thought Power sweeping out, instantly enveloping the entire Zhao Mansion. Everything within the mansion had nowhere to hide, all laid bare before his eyes.
"Mother is not in the Zhao Mansion."
Zhao Letian could not find the figure of his mother in the Zhao Mansion, but he saw many unexpected scenes.
For instance, he had not expected that the woman marrying Zhao Lingfeng would be none other than the young miss of the Liu Family, Liu Fei.
"Liu Fei is going to marry Zhao Lingfeng? That means the Liu Family has actually joined hands with the Zhao Family."
With his Divine Thought Power, Zhao Letian observed the grand wedding taking place within the Zhao Mansion and silently pondered.
He remembered that when he left Qingzhou City last time, the Liu Family was allied with the City Lord Mansion and Shentu Family against the alliance of the Zhao Family and the Sun Family. Back then, the Liu Family and Zhao Family were enemies, yet now they had joined forces. Indeed, the affairs of the world were unpredictable.
At this moment, the plaza inside the Zhao Mansion was filled with distinguished guests, gathering many clan members.
Among them were not only Zhao Wuji, Second Elder Zhao, Third Elder Zhao, as well as Zhao Lingshan and Zhao Shijie, but also the Patriarch of the Liu Family and Liu Fourth Elder, and others.
As for Zhao Lingfeng and Liu Fei, they were both dressed in bright red wedding robes, standing on a stage carpeted with red, conducting the grand wedding ceremony.
A triumphant smile graced Zhao Lingfeng's face, his lips curling involuntarily.
Since the martial arts competition in Qingzhou City ended last time, of the Four Young Masters of Qingzhou City, only he remained alive. Zhao Lingfeng had become the true number-one genius in the entire Qingzhou City.
Moreover, in the Iron Sword Sect, his performance was also outstanding, elevating his cultivation from the True Martial Fourth Realm to the True Martial Sixth Realm in just half a year. His progress was meteoric, gaining the upper echelons' attention in the sect. Even a powerful Sect Martial Realm Elder took him as a direct disciple.
Now, he was about to marry Liu Fei, the number one beauty of Qingzhou City, the noble goddess in the hearts of countless youths, causing numerous people to envy him.
Although he knew Liu Fei had previously been with both Zhao Letian and Shentu Yu, he did not mind. To him, this was merely a marriage of familial interests, he had no feelings toward Liu Fei, as long as he could conquer once, this goddess whom everyone yearned for but could not attain.
Overall, during this period, Zhao Lingfeng can be said to have steadily climbed to the peak of his life, basking in endless glory.
At the same time, within Liu Fei's beautiful eyes, there was also a look of satisfaction.
She was very clear that her innate talent was not outstanding; she couldn't receive the attention from the sect like Zhao Lingfeng and others, let alone reach a very high Martial Arts Realm in her lifetime.
What she pursued was only powerful authority.
For her, the fastest shortcut to gaining power was to cling to a strong man. She initially abandoned Zhao Letian to join Shentu Yu, doing exactly that, and now marrying Zhao Lingfeng was for the same reason.
In her eyes, in terms of talent, Zhao Lingfeng was no worse than Shentu Yu. As for status, the current young master of the Zhao Family, Zhao Lingfeng, perhaps had an even more noble status than Shentu Yu did back then.
Because behind Zhao Lingfeng stood the Iron Sword Sect, and the current Shentu Family of City Lord Mansion, having lost Shentu Yu and Shentu Yuanbao, had no support left. Even the General who last time helped them suppress Qingzhou City had perished at the hands of Sword Obsession. This chapter first appeared on *.
Moreover, since the last martial competition in Qingzhou City, Patriarch Zhao had also left seclusion, his cultivation astonishingly advancing to the Sect Martial Realm, his strength no less than that of Patriarch Shentu.
As for the Sun Family, after the death of three generations of ancestors and descendants, they had been completely weakened and couldn't contend with other families. They have now pledged allegiance to the Shentu Family of City Lord Mansion.
That is to say, the current Zhao Family is now the most powerful family in Qingzhou City. Even the Shentu Family of City Lord Mansion has been suppressed by them, and one could even foresee that before long, the entire Qingzhou City would fall into the Zhao Family's hands.
Liu Fei's marriage to Zhao Lingfeng was akin to securing the status of the future mistress of Qingzhou City in advance.
At the same time, the face of the Patriarch of Liu Family also bore a relieved smile.
Ever since his son Liu Yidao died, the people of Bladed Villa no longer sheltered the Liu Family.
Meaning that the current Liu Family also lacked substantial backing.
Furthermore, his father, the elderly patriarch of the Liu Family, died tragically at the hands of Sword Obsession, leaving the Liu Family's situation not much better than that of the Sun Family.
Fortunately, the people of the Zhao Family did not disdain his daughter's past and had agreed to this strategic marriage, giving the Liu Family a glimmer of hope.
"There's someone in the sky."
Just as the Patriarch of Liu Family was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly frowned, stood up, and looked towards Zhao Letian who had appeared in the skies out of nowhere.
"How dare he use Divine Thought Power to scrutinize us so brazenly, such audacity."
At the same time, Zhao Wuji and the experts from the Iron Sword Sect also all rose to their feet, their gazes cold as they looked in that direction.
However, Zhao Letian had already changed his appearance to that of a bearded burly man, and hence, no one recognized him.
In the Martial Arts World, using Divine Thought Power to scan others is seen as a severe act of provocation, and for Zhao Letian to do so to all the people in Zhao Mansion was extremely audacious.
"Who is that? Daring to disrupt this young master's wedding, seeking death."
Zhao Lingfeng, carried away by his success, had a grim expression and rage flared in his heart; he directly leaped up, standing on a giant sword as he soared into the sky to attack Zhao Letian.
Although he was unaware of Zhao Letian's cultivation level, since Zhao Letian still needed the help of a Spiritual Artifact to fly, it was evident that he was merely a practitioner of the True Martial Realm. Zhao Lingfeng, a top disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, believed that with his talent, even if Zhao Letian were a high-level True Martial Realm practitioner, he would be no match for him.
Zhao Letian didn't even deign to give Zhao Lingfeng a proper glance; with a casual palm, he unleashed a massive True Essence Palm Seal, as if swatting a fly, which sent Zhao Lingfeng spitting blood from his mouth and crashing into the ground like a cannonball, his life or death unknown.
