"Alright, let's discuss how to escape when I return," Nangong Yuqin said, before departing.
In the midst of the night, Nangong Yuqin gracefully walked through the streets, her demeanor calm as the patrolling royal guards greeted her respectfully.
Moments later, the beautiful figure of Nangong Yuqin vanished into the darkness.
She quietly entered the Lamp Soul Palace, lit Shi Wanruo's life lamp according to Tan Yun's instructions, and then stealthily left, returning to the Jade Whisper Palace.
Throughout the entire process, the two divine soul realm guards stationed at the Lamp Soul Palace did not notice anyone's presence.
It was normal that they did not notice, as Nangong Yuqin's cultivation was far beyond theirs!
Inside the Jade Whisper Palace, Nangong Yuqin anxiously said, "Tan Yun, the gates of the Imperial City have now closed. Even if we manage to escape the gates of the Imperial Palace, we still cannot escape the gates of the Imperial City!"
Tan Yun pondered and replied, "I have already observed the situation when I entered the Imperial City. The formation covering the entire Imperial City is the middle-grade sub-immortal stage Jin Jue Qilin Formation. I can break it, but it will require time!"
"If we want to escape the Imperial City and humiliate the Nangong Sacred Dynasty and the Eternal Immortal Sect, we can only..."
Tan Yun paused, his lips close to Nangong Yuqin's ear, whispering something. After that, Nangong Yuqin nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you must be extra careful!"
"Rest assured, it will be foolproof!" Tan Yun's gaze was firm.
...
The next day, at the second quarter of the evening, the sunset was like blood.
At this moment, only a moment remained before the wedding of Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yan Chen.
The Nangong Sacred Hall was where the Nangong Sacred Dynasty discussed state affairs, and the grand wedding was to be held here.
The thousands of steps leading to the Nangong Sacred Hall were already covered with bright red carpets.
The magnificently decorated hall was filled with a festive atmosphere.
In the main seat of the hall sat the Nangong Holy Lord and Ru Yan Wu Ji.
To the left of the hall, at tables laden with fine wines and dishes, sat Ru Yan Wu Ji's ancestor Ru Yan Gao Xian and three Ancestral Patriarchs of the Eternal Immortal Sect.
The current clan head of the ancient Stone Clan, Shi Potian, his wife Yin Yuhuang, and six elders of the Stone Clan.
Also present were the palace master of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, Zhuge Yu, and the supreme elder in charge of law enforcement from the Divine Soul Celestial Palace: Huang Lie!
On the right side of the hall were seated nineteen imperial concubines, several princesses, and nine princes.
Moreover, there were the four grand marshals of the Nangong Sacred Dynasty: Dong Ping, Nan Ding, Xi Zhen, and Bei Zheng!
Outside the Nangong Sacred Hall, in the large square, there were densely arranged seats.
The seats were packed with people, bustling with activity, with at least tens of thousands present!
Among them were the civil and military officials of the emperor huangfu shengchao, noble lords, influential clan heads, and the sons and daughters born with a golden key.
Of course, there were also members from ancient clans, the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, and the Eternal Immortal Sect.
The grandeur of the wedding was an unprecedented event for the Nangong Sacred Dynasty!
In the vast venue, only a carpet leading to the Nangong Sacred Hall remained.
At this moment, beneath the calm expression of the Nangong Holy Lord, there was an undeniable surge of anger.
Because as the wedding was about to begin, the Nangong Holy Mother had yet to arrive.
A moment later, when the time for the wedding ceremony had arrived, Shi Wanruo still did not appear.
At this time, an old voice entered the Nangong Holy Lord's mind, "Reporting to the Holy Lord, I have gone to the Lamp Soul Palace as per your orders, and the Holy Mother's life lamp is still burning."
The Nangong Holy Lord thought to himself: "Even though Qinger is not the biological daughter of the Holy Mother, in the eyes of the world she is still her daughter. She should be here by now, and not arriving is utterly inappropriate!"
