With this determination in mind, Tan Yun smiled as he raised his wine cup and began to savor the wine.
Immediately, the gazes of everyone present turned towards him.
Immediately, everyone's gaze turned towards the sky, where three figures flew in from the void outside the square.
Ouyang Qianqian, dressed in bridal attire, and Xiahou Xuan, covered by a veil, walked alongside Fang Rulong. The three of them moved in unison, each step covering a distance of over a thousand feet, heading towards the seats at the front of the square where Ouyang Duantian and Xiahou Shu were seated.
âDrip!â
A tear fell from the sky and landed on Tan Yun's face. At that moment he looked up, Ouyang Qianqian was passing overhead.
âIs it her tear?â Tan Yun shook his head, thinking, âImpossible, doesnât she desire to become the Immortal Emperor's consort?â
âEven if it is her tear, it must be tears of excitementâŚâ
As Tan Yun ridiculed himself in silence, he gazed at Ouyang Qianqianâs departing figure, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if it was being pricked by needles.
At that moment, scenes of Ouyang Qianqianâs smiles and frowns, along with the memories they shared, involuntarily flashed through Tan Yunâs mind.
Tan Yun shook his head vigorously and shouted in his heart, âFor such a woman, I wouldnât be worth getting angry over⌠Yes! She doesn't deserve my anger!â
Although Tan Yun told himself this, the thought of Ouyang Qianqian soon becoming someone else's bride still caused a dull ache in his heart, and a fire of anger burned fiercely within him!
âGulp⌠gulpâŚâ
Tan Yun directly picked up the wine jug and continually poured the wine into his mouth.
âLord Huangfu, drink slowly; if you drink too fast, itâll harm your health!â The old City Lord beside Tan Yun transmitted his concern.
After finishing a jug of wine, Tan Yun sent a message to the old man, âWhatâs your name?â
âMy name is Wei Rui,â the old man replied.
âLord Wei, do you think low-level immortals in the Immortal Realm should be killed?â Tan Yun asked, intending to spare Wei Rui's life, but only if his answer was satisfactory!
However, Tan Yun was disappointed.
Wei Rui laughed and transmitted, âLord Huangfu, youâve had too much to drink; how could you ask such a question?â
âIs that question not to be asked?â Tan Yun transmitted.
Wei Rui continued with a smile, âAll City Lords in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm must express their loyalty to the Immortal Emperor upon ascending to the position, and slaughter ten thousand low-level immortals.â
âYou must have killed some when you became a City Lord, so I think youâve drunk too much to ask such questions.â
Tan Yun nodded, a chill flashing in his eyes, âThen Ouyang Duantian must have slaughtered ten thousand low-level immortals when he became a City Lord, right?â
However, Wei Rui's answer surprised Tan Yun.
Wei Rui transmitted, âNo, Ouyang Duantian did not kill. His ancestor ascended from the Mortal Plane, so he has never killed low-level immortals.â
âPerhaps due to his immense strength, the previous Immortal Emperor did not hold it against him.â
As Tan Yun was about to say something else, Wei Rui interrupted, âNo more talk; the Immortal Emperor's wedding is a grand event, letâs observe!â
At this moment, Tan Yun gazed over and saw the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor and his two brides had already passed overhead from the square and descended gracefully in front of the seats, facing Ouyang Duantian and Xiahou Shu.
At this moment, standing above the square was Fang Wei, the overseer of the Nine Heavens Immortal Manor, whose clear voice resonated across the sky:
âThe time has come; next, let us all witness the wedding ceremony of the Immortal Emperor!â
âGroom and bride, heed my command!â
âHeaven nurtures all, and the earth sustains life; bow to heaven and earth!â
Hearing this, Fang Rulong, Ouyang Qianqian, and Xiahou Xuan slowly turned around to face the vast sky.
A sincere smile appeared on Fang Rulongâs handsome face as he and Xiahou Xuan knelt almost simultaneously.
