Chapter 1244: The Grand Wedding

The next day, the wedding day of the Yuan family.

The vermilion gates of the City Lord's Mansion swung open. Inside the mansion, the halls and pavilions were all brightly lit and festively decorated, joyous and renewed.

The servants within, regardless of gender, wore brand new attire, with smiles on their faces and full of spirit.

As time ticked away, and the sun climbed higher, more and more guests arrived to attend the wedding.

There were brothers from Panlong City, as well as young masters from other major cultivation cities; waves upon waves of guests entered the City Lord's Mansion.

The main venue for the wedding was on a huge square within the City Lord's Mansion, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. The square was surrounded by the City Lord's Mansion, with magnificent palaces encircling it.

Chairs were arranged on the square, and all the guests were seated under the guidance of the Yuan family's servants.

The servants offered tea, and the guests sipped on tea while enjoying the fruits on the table.

Besides the sons from various major cultivation cities, there were also family heads from the nine great families of Thousand Dragon City and celebrities from Thousand Dragon City, bustling with at least a thousand people.

The crowd chatted and laughed, exchanging pleasantries, making it a lively affair.

As the time approached close to 10 AM, a grand palace at the front of the square suddenly opened its tightly shut doors. City Lord Yuan Zheng, garbed in a golden robe and looking dignified, came out from the hall, flanked by important Yuan family members including Yuan Kun, Yuan Lu, and Yuan Chun.

Seeing Yuan Zheng appear, all the guests seated in the square immediately stood up, bowing and saluting: "Congratulations to City Lord Yuan, best wishes to City Lord Yuan!"

A look of joy appeared on Yuan Zheng's dignified face as he addressed the thousand-plus guests in the square: "Please be seated, everyone!"

Only then did all the guests sit back down, and Yuan Zheng then turned to Yuan Kun beside him and asked, "Second brother, is the auspicious hour here?"

Yuan Kun replied, "Big brother, there's still half an hour until the auspicious hour."

Yuan Zheng then asked, "Are all the guests here?"

Yuan Kun replied, "The head butler says that the young master from Ten Thousand Swords City is not here yet."

"Hmm, then send someone to the young master's villa estate in our Thousand Dragon City to fetch him right away!" Yuan Zheng instructed.

Yuan Kun nodded and immediately instructed a nearby butler to take someone to fetch the young master.

"Today is the wedding day; be sure to watch out in case Lin Fei sneaks in," Yuan Zheng glanced at the thousand-plus guests in the square and quietly reminded Yuan Kun.

"Rest assured, big brother, the entire City Lord's Mansion is filled with experts. If Lin Fei enters, there's nowhere for him to hide," Yuan Kun's eyes gleamed.

Yuan Zheng nodded.

Then, Yuan Zheng, along with several brothers, descended the steps to mingle with the heads of the nine great families of Thousand Dragon City and the young masters from various major cultivation cities.

Unbeknownst to anyone, half an hour had already passed. Yuan Zheng glanced at the palaces and buildings around the square, but Lin Fei's figure had not appeared.

He couldn't help but think to himself: Lin Fei is really patient, still hasn't shown up yet?

The family heads of the nine great families sitting in their chairs on the square exchanged glances. They naturally realized that Yuan Zheng was looking around, secretly observing whether Lin Fei would appear.

In fact, the nine family heads were also preoccupied with this matter, not knowing when Lin Fei would show up.

They also didn't know what Lin Fei would have them do once he appeared.

Because Lin Fei had only told them back then to act according to his signal.

Thinking about having to deal with City Lord Yuan Zheng's family at a wedding with a gathering of thousands, including guests from various major cultivation cities, the nine great family heads felt enormous pressure.

But they had no choice. If they didn't cooperate with Lin Fei against the Yuan family, they would soon die from an internal explosion.

Just like the nine family heads, there was Qin Fen, whose heart was also filled with tension.

Qin Fen was also afraid that the strange energy Lin Fei had left in his meridians would cause him to die from an internal explosion.

Thinking about having to publicly expose the Yuan family's crimes right at the wedding, Qin Fen felt his palms sweating, anxious and worried.

"Big brother, the auspicious hour has arrived, let Yuan Hong and the bride pay their respects and perform the ceremony!" At this point, Yuan Kun said to Yuan Zheng beside him.

This was within earshot of everyone, and guests from various major cultivation cities were naturally very excited and filled with anticipation.

However, the nine family heads and Qin Fen instantly tensed up, their hearts inexplicably racing because they felt that Lin Fei was most likely to show up during the wedding ceremony of Yuan Hong and Yuan Yuxi.

Yuan Zheng also thought that only during the ceremony would it be possible to force Lin Fei to appear.

Thus, Yuan Zheng said to Yuan Kun, "Proceed with the ceremony!"

"Yes, big brother," Yuan Kun agreed, then immediately instructed a butler nearby: "Bring the couple forward."

The butler agreed and went off to carry out the task.

Yuan Zheng, along with his three brothers, ascended the steps to the platform in front of the palace, where chairs were already set by the servants.

A few maidservants escorted an elegantly dressed elderly lady to the platform; this lady was the wife of the City Lord.

Yuan Zheng took his wife by the hand and sat down on the chair.

At this moment, cheerful and festive music began to play from the sound systems arranged around the square.

With the joyful music playing, the guests all felt their spirits lifted, their faces beaming with happiness, except for the nine family heads and Qin Fen, who were unaffected by the cheerful music and instead felt their tension increase.

Because they knew that if Lin Fei appeared, the ensuing celebration would be entirely ruined.

Amidst the cheerful music, the groom Yuan Hong, dressed in traditional bright red attire, and the bride, also in bright red traditional attire with a red veil covering her face, slowly walked forward with the help of a matchmaker.

Behind the couple, dozens of cultivators in black clothes could be seen guarding them.

The couple, under the protection of numerous expert guards, walked past the guests in the square, step by step up the stairs, to the platform in front of the palace.

The matchmaker, a plump middle-aged woman in her fifties with a powdered face and a smile so broad that her eyes seemed to disappear, first paid her respects to Yuan Zheng and the City Lord's wife: "This old woman greets the City Lord and the City Lord's wife."

"There's no need for formalities, matchmaker, please proceed with the wedding!" The City Lord's wife said with a smile to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker promptly replied, "Yes, City Lord's wife."

The matchmaker then stood aside, and called out loudly: "Groom and bride, start the ceremony now, first bow to the heavens and earth!"

Yuan Hong faced the sky, and the bride also turned to face the sky, supported by the maidservants.

Then the groom and bride deeply bowed to the sky.

"Second, bow to the parents!" the matchmaker promptly called out loudly.

Yuan Hong and the bride turned to kneel and serve tea to Yuan Zheng and his wife seated on the platform.

At this moment, there was a sound in the air of something breaking through and a shout: "City Lord, something terrible has happened!..."

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the sky, and with a swoosh, a figure fell before the steps.

It was a cultivator in his forties with a bruised face, and blood on his lips, and his clothes seemed to have been ruined by a sharp weapon.

"Housekeeper Hong!" On the platform, Yuan Kun frowned, immediately recognizing this middle-aged cultivator as the butler he had sent to fetch Wan Jingxuan.
