Chapter 631 The Wedding Procession (Part 1)

Nine tolls of the bell pierced through the clouds and split the rocks, spreading majestically from the summit of the Sword Sect's Sword Ruins.

The wedding procession set off in a grand and imposing manner, attracting the attention of all beings, both immortals and mortals, in the Three Realms.

Leading the group were seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Sword Sect, all clad in Daoist robes trimmed with purple and gold, with spirit swords hanging at their waists. As they walked on their swords, the seven sword shadows intertwined to form a dazzling net of light.

Following closely behind were three hundred inner disciples of the Sword Sect, each holding a glass lamp, their lights shining brightly, forming a river of light that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the middle of the procession were sixteen white horses adorned with red ribbons and colorful decorations, each with bells around its neck. The horses galloped freely, the bells ringing melodiously, creating a scene that was both lively and sacred.

Pulled by sixteen horses was a dragon and phoenix chariot carved from millennia-old warm jade. The chariot body was carved with dragons and phoenixes in the shape of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and red curtains woven from mermaid silk hung at the four corners.

A gust of wind blew, causing the red curtains to flutter, and the Chonghua True Lord could be vaguely seen sitting in the carriage. He was dressed in a Taoist robe with dragon patterns, and was as handsome as a god. His usual coldness and sternness had disappeared from his eyes, which were now filled with joy. His peach blossom eyes were sparkling and radiant, and all who saw him praised him.

As the wedding procession passed by, the sea of ​​clouds formed a red carpet, and the rosy clouds condensed into colorful ribbons. The disciples of the immortal sect scattered spiritual fruits and flower petals along the way, attracting many onlookers who only regretted that they had not been able to obtain an invitation to attend the ceremony and could not witness this once-in-a-millennium grand event.

Soon, the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Beast Taming Sect. The overwhelming festive atmosphere instantly illuminated the area inside and outside the gate with dazzling lights.

The Beast Taming Sect had already opened its gates wide to await them.

Before the mountain gate, eight hundred inner disciples dressed in cloud-patterned Taoist robes lined both sides, each leading a pure white spirit deer. Upon seeing the wedding procession, the spirit deer let out clear, melodious cries, followed by the simultaneous playing of bells and drums, and the harmonious sounds of zithers and lutes, alluding to the poem, "The deer cry 'youyou,' eating wild herbs. I have guests, so I play the zither and lute."

Above the mountain gate, Qingyuan Zhenjun, the head of the Beast Taming Sect, stood outside the main hall with a group of elders. Behind them hung a hundred-zhang-long "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" cloud brocade. Amidst the flowing clouds, the dragon and phoenix seemed about to break through the wall.

Jiang Li's eight senior brothers and sisters all rushed back, each riding a divine beast, standing behind the sect leader.

The three-legged golden crow raised its head and spewed flames, the firelight transforming into countless golden butterflies; the azure-eyed, golden-pupiled beast rode in on the clouds, its hooves emitting wisps of blue mist; the nine-tailed spirit fox lowered its head and drooped its eyes, its nine tails swirling up fallen petals from the ground…

The dragon and phoenix palanquin carrying the bride slowly landed, and Xie Chang'an stepped down.

Qingyuan Zhenjun stepped forward and announced loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived—"

In an instant, the roars of beasts rose and fell in the valley of ten thousand beasts behind the mountain, some deep and powerful, some clear and melodious, as if all the beasts were celebrating together, their voices shaking the surrounding wilderness.

The main hall doors opened in response, and Mingxuan Zhenjun and Jiang Li, dressed in formal attire, slowly walked out of the hall.

Xie Chang'an's burning gaze pierced through the sea of ​​people and landed directly on that petite and exquisite figure.

She was dressed in a silver-white Taoist robe with phoenix patterns, wearing a phoenix crown with flowing clouds on her head, and draped in a light veil like clouds. Her whole person seemed to be shrouded in the glow of the moon, and she was as beautiful as a dream.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xie Chang'an climbed the steps one by one, heading towards his beloved bride.

Seeing him approach, True Lord Mingxuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Today I entrust my beloved disciple Jiang Li to you. I hope that the two of you will be of one heart and mind, never to be separated, and together attain immortality."

Xie Chang'an and Jiang Li stood side by side and knelt down before him, saying, "We will obey Master's command."

A Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Sword Sect announced loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived. Please, newlyweds, ascend the carriage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bells and drums rang again, and the celestial music played once more. Xie Chang'an reached out and took Jiang Li's hand, and the two walked side by side through the flower path, slowly heading towards the mountain gate.

Holding his beloved's hand once more, Xie Chang'an was overwhelmed with excitement.

He felt the small hand he was holding was icy cold, and his palm was slightly damp. He quietly comforted her, "Don't be nervous, I'm here for you."

Jiang Li pouted and said, "I want to eat something."

Xie Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle. Why did she always think about food every time she got married?

Jiang Li explained, "When I get nervous, I want to eat something."

Xie Chang'an said gently, "I've prepared some spiritual fruits and snacks for you. I'll give them to you once you get in the carriage."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Brother Chang'an, you're so kind!"

Xie Chang'an smiled, thinking, "She really is that greedy little cat!"

The two sat side by side inside the dragon and phoenix carriage, and amidst the sounds of drums and music, the wedding procession set off in a grand procession.

Jiang Li's eight senior brothers and sisters will represent the Beast Taming Sect to send their junior sister off to her wedding.

After the carriage departed, Xie Chang'an waved his hand to set up a barrier, took out a food box, and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li lifted the veil covering her head, happily took the food box, and opened it to find several kinds of exquisite pastries, a few fragrant spiritual fruits, and a small pot of spiritual tea inside.

"Brother Chang'an, you've thought of everything!"

Jiang Li smiled broadly, picked up a piece of spirit lotus cake, put it in her mouth, and the sweet and fragrant taste was so delicious that she squinted her eyes.

Xie Chang'an smiled, his eyes filled with amazement as he looked at his little bride. Whether she was dressed in red or white, she was stunningly beautiful. No matter what her bridal attire was, his little fox was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Jiang Li was happily eating snacks and drinking spiritual tea when suddenly she felt the carriage sway slightly.

Xie Chang'an's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Little Tanuki, you sit here and don't go out!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already shot out of the carriage like an arrow.

Jiang Li put the food box aside and looked out of the carriage.

Suddenly, the clear sky darkened, and a hazy gray fog enveloped the carriage. The warm light of the glass lanterns became blurred in the fog, and the sounds of drums and music were abruptly suppressed, leaving only the faint, fragmented sound of the celestial horses' bells ringing erratically in the wind.

"This is... a maze?" She frowned slightly.

Was it attacked?

Who are these people who dare to openly attack the wedding procession?

It should be noted that in addition to the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sword Sect, the team also included three hundred inner disciples, among whom were Golden Core True Persons.

Her eight senior brothers and sisters, except for her sixth senior brother, seventh senior sister and eighth senior brother, are all Golden Core cultivators!

They also brought their own natal spirit pets, making them capable of doing the work of two people.

Such combat power is undeniably strong. Who was so blind as to attack this wedding procession?

Xie Chang'an flew out of the carriage, and the clouds beneath his feet suddenly surged into a black vortex, instantly distorting the surrounding scenery.

The neighing of the sixteen accompanying celestial horses disappeared, and the figures of the three hundred inner disciples were swallowed up by the gray mist. Only the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sword Sect stood at the front of the procession, their purple-gold Daoist robes fluttering without wind, and the clear sound of their unsheathed spiritual swords piercing through the mist.

"Who goes there? How dare you intercept the Sword Sect's wedding procession? Do you intend to make an enemy of my sect?"

The leader, True Lord Chong'an, demanded an answer in a stern voice.

"Hahaha--"

A wild laugh echoed from the depths of the mist, and the gray fog receded like a tide, revealing several figures exuding demonic aura.

The leader, clad in a flowing black robe with dark gold patterns, possessed a deep and handsome face, with a strange red mark slanted at the corner of his eye. He was none other than the Demon Emperor, the ruler of the demon race!
