Chapter 868: Chapter 868
Fengyu Daoist Ancestor nodded to Ding Huan: "You are quite impressive."
After bowing, Ding Huan spoke loudly: "I am also a part of the Human Tribe and know what should be done and what should not be done.
For the Great Cosmos, I will not hesitate to give up my life. I can die, but the Human Tribe must endure, and the Great Cosmos cannot be extinguished either."
Ding Huan's words resounded powerfully.
From his determined gaze, everyone could see that he had completely disregarded his own life and death.
"Haha, our Great Cosmos needs fearless cultivators like you. I have high hopes for you."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Fengyu laughed heartily, offering his praise with great satisfaction.
Whether he truly believed what Ding Huan said, no one knows.
"Daoist Ancestor Fengyu, I too am willing to infiltrate the Tian Meng Clan and contribute to the Great Cosmos Human Tribe," another abrupt voice emerged.
If Ding Huan's intent to explore the Tian Meng Clan was somewhat understood by others, it was believed Ding Huan wanted to curry favor with Yan Zhuo.
But when they saw this guy claiming he would go to the Tian Meng Clan, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Because the speaker was Xi Changmei, the groom at this wedding for the daughter of the Blue Star Sect's Sect Master.
Nobody could comprehend why Xi Changmei wanted to explore the Tian Meng Clan.
"Changmei, you..." Yan Jiuyue looked at Xi Changmei in disbelief, her mind in turmoil.
Xi Changmei held Yan Jiuyue's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination:
"Jiuyue, you wouldn't want your Dao Companion to be a coward, would you? The Great Cosmos Human Tribe has finally found its footing. If we let the Tian Meng Clan oppress us,
before long, the Great Cosmos will have no place for the Human Tribe to stand.
Jiuyue, although I am a selfish man, I cannot allow the Tian Meng Clan to occupy our Great Cosmos. Even if it means being shattered to pieces, I must do something for the Great Cosmos.
If even Xiao Tu's brother-in-law can achieve this, how can I, as a brother-in-law, fall behind?"
Xi Changmei's tone was firm, each word seemed heartfelt, with no hesitation, carrying an unyielding momentum. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI~Fire.net
"Haha, good, very good."
Fengyu Daoist Ancestor laughed heartily, repeating "good" several times, and then looked towards Yan Zhuo:
"Sect Master Yan, you are quite remarkable, rest assured, once this is over, your Blue Star Sect can choose a new territory to establish its Sect."
Although the current territory chosen by the Blue Star Sect is not bad, it is far inferior compared to major Tao Cities and Holy Sects.
It might not be considered what others have discarded, but it is not much different.
"Daoist Ancestor, I also want to go to the Tian Meng Clan with my husband..."
Yan Jiuyue felt her blood boiling.
Why should she be weaker than Jia Baihe? If Jia Baihe can go with her false Dao Companion to the Tian Meng Clan, why can't she?
Moreover, Xi Changmei isn't her false Dao Companion but her true Dao Companion.
Besides, following Changmei, surely he would not let her die?
Others may not know Xi Changmei's capabilities, but she does.
No matter how desperate the situation, Xi Changmei always has endless trump cards.
Yan Zhuo felt his head buzzing upon hearing this.
If he wasn't at the Fifth Step of the Great Path, he might have fainted.
Has this violated the Heavenly Dao?
These two daughters of his, one is more troublesome than the other.
Baihe inevitably heading to the Tian Meng Clan to die is one thing, but why does the eldest, Jiuyue, also insist on going to die?
All the guests sympathetically looked at Yan Zhuo.
They knew full well, although Yan Jiuyue and Jia Baihe were Yan Zhuo's adopted daughters, Yan Zhuo genuinely had no reservations about them.
In the eyes of others, Yan Zhuo valued these two adopted daughters more than his own biological daughters.
What was supposed to be a joyful occasion turned into a chase for certain death, one after another.
Ding Huan looked speechlessly at Yan Jiuyue.
This woman really had no sense.
That Xi Changmei was definitely not an ordinary person, this guy had hidden his cultivation, and even Ding Huan could not detect the law fluctuations of his Dao Rhythm.
This strength is certainly of the strongest kind.
Moreover, after this guy concealed his cultivation, only he could see it.
Even Fengyu Daoist Ancestor might not have noticed, indicating how powerful and attuned Xi Changmei's Tao Technique is with the Heaven and Earth Laws.
This kind of Dao that aligns with Heaven and Earth is the most terrifying.
Because the cultivation of his Great Universe Technique is the most aligned Tao Technique with the Heaven and Earth Rules.
What Xi Changmei's intention was in proactively going to the Tian Meng Clan, Ding Huan was not very clear.
But he could guess, this guy would definitely not aim to contribute to the Human Tribe.
Maybe his goal is like his own, for the Dao Veins, or perhaps for something else.
No matter the reason, Ding Huan could be sure that if Yan Jiuyue followed Xi Changmei to the Tian Meng Clan, she would not receive Xi Changmei's protection.
Therefore, if Yan Jiuyue went to the Tian Meng Clan, it would spell certain death.
Unlike Jia Baihe going with him to the Tian Meng Clan, he would definitely not let Jia Baihe get hurt.
This brainless woman, who knows what she's thinking.
Fengyu Daoist Ancestor was evident in his utmost satisfaction.
With people from Fengyu World volunteering to go to the Tian Meng Clan to gather intelligence, when the various Daoist Ancestors of the Great Cosmos gather to discuss dealing with the Tian Meng Clan, his Fengyu World would hold the discourse, without having to send more powerful cultivators to their deaths.
Thinking of this, Fengyu Daoist Ancestor, who was planning to leave, simply took the seat Yan Zhuo was previously in.
Yan Zhuo quickly stood aside,
Fengyu waved his hand: "Sect Master Yan, today you are the host, sit beside me. Since I am here, I will also offer my blessings to the three couples.
Now, the wedding should proceed to the next section, I will bear witness."
Everyone understood that Fengyu Daoist Ancestor was very pleased with the Blue Star Sect's performance today.
Hence, he took the initiative to stay and witness the wedding celebration of the Sect Master's daughter of the Blue Star Sect.
Firstly, to give the Blue Star Sect great face, indicating that he, Fengyu, was appreciative.
Secondly, to inform everyone in the Fengyu World that as long as they follow his wishes, he would fully support them.
This wedding ceremony was originally simple.
In fact, after passing the Door of Shackles, there was only the exchange of gifts left.
Fengyu Daoist Ancestor came over, and naturally, Yan Zhuo dared not waste Fengyu's time, so he raised his hand to disperse the Door of Shackles, seizing the time to proceed with the final step.
Fengyu Daoist Ancestor was merely here to put on a show.
If he delayed him with the Door of Shackles, which was the most time-consuming part, perhaps Fengyu Daoist Ancestor would be displeased.
Sure enough, seeing that Yan Zhuo was perceptive, Fengyu smiled with satisfaction.
He didn't need to put on a show for too long, with so many daily matters, how could he have much time for showmanship?
If not for the performance of these four newcomers of the Blue Star Sect being very satisfying, he would have left already.
Once everyone was seated, the presiding elder stood up again: "Invite the three couples to present gifts to the elders."
The elder was no fool; he also knew Fengyu Daoist Ancestor couldn't sit for long, so he skipped the subsequent long string of wedding wishes, settling it with a single sentence.
Yan Jiuyue and Xi Changmei were the first couple to marry, with Xi Changmei holding a white jade plate, on which lay a ring.
When Xi Changmei approached Yan Zhuo, Yan Jiuyue followed closely by his side.
This was a gesture of respect to the elder.
Later, the elder would also return the gift.
Xi Changmei and Yan Jiuyue bowed to Yan Zhuo, then presented the plate.
A maid stepped forward to receive the plate, standing aside.
Xi Changmei and Yan Jiuyue bowed again and then stepped back, standing to one side.
Ding Huan's perception had already uncovered the ring sent by Xi Changmei.
With Ding Huan's fusion of Heaven and Earth Laws, along with the Law Star River formed in his own world.
He didn't need to extend his Divine Will; as long as he used the Heaven and Earth Rules of this space, he could open the simple restriction on Xi Changmei's ring.
After all, this was a gift; before Yan Zhuo unlocked the ring's restriction, no one dared to use Divine Will to scan it.
Therefore, Xi Changmei's restriction couldn't be very strong.
When Ding Huan discovered the contents inside Xi Changmei's ring, he was taken aback.
What was Xi Changmei's implication with this? Why give such precious items?
Inside Xi Changmei's ring were actually thirty Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, fifty top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, and a top-tier Heavenly Fat Red Crystal.
The value of the Heavenly Fat Red Crystal was definitely no less than the Abyss Nirvana Gold.
Was Xi Changmei really this generous?
At this moment, Ding Huan felt Jia Baihe pinch his hand hard.
Although Jia Baihe didn't say anything, Ding Huan roughly understood what Jia Baihe meant.
Were they eyeing Yan Zhuo's return gift?
If Xi Changmei was willing to give so much, how outrageous would the return gift be?
Thinking of this, Ding Huan changed the items within his own ring.
As long as Yan Zhuo wasn't biased, during the return gift, it would certainly be judged by who gave the most to return with the most precious gift.
Ding Huan, holding a silver plate, approached Yan Zhuo.
On the silver plate was a golden jade box, with Dao Rhythm inscriptions flowing on the box.
On it, the words "Heavenly Bestowal, Dao Fate" could be clearly seen.
From the appearance and arrangement, Ding Huan's plate and golden jade box immediately outshone Xi Changmei's simple jade plate and the dingy ring.
Not to mention the flowing Dao Rhythm inscriptions.
Xi Changmei stared with wide eyes at Ding Huan's plate.
Could he really cheat in this way?
Unfortunately, he didn't know the story of someone preferring the box to the jewel within.
Nor did he understand the importance of packaging.
What he didn't expect was yet to come.
Ding Huan, with Jia Baihe, did not first pay respects to Yan Zhuo. Instead, he led Jia Baihe before Fengyu Daoist Ancestor, first bowing in salute to Fengyu Daoist Ancestor.
Only then did he go to Yan Zhuo, bowing and handing the plate to the second maid who stepped forward.
Yan Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ding Huan had not paid respect to Fengyu, he would have been very uneasy.
It's true he's an elder, but with the Daoist Ancestor here attending the ceremony, if the newcomers ignored the Daoist Ancestor and paid respect to him, it would be akin to roasting him over a fire.
After Ding Huan and Jia Baihe performed their salutes, Fengyu's expression visibly improved, nodding in approval.
Xi Changmei realized he had messed up the etiquette earlier, and clenched his fist.
But it didn't matter; as long as his gift was heavy, if he gets what he wanted from Yan Zhuo, everything else was secondary.
He married Yan Jiuyue precisely for this item, didn't he?
Yan Xunlan and his Dao partner Fan Yikong were just going through the motions; they followed suit by first saluting to Fengyu Daoist Ancestor before they saluted Yan Zhuo and offered their gift.
After the three couples stepped back.
The presiding elder stepped forward to the first plate, picking up Xi Changmei's ring.
Everyone knew this was the moment to announce the gifts.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
