Chapter 1827
Usually, only Sector Lords would appear in the Inter-Domain Teleportation Array. Occasionally, there would be Empty Realm cultivators.
However, when Zi Chen and the other two arrived at the Ethereal Region, they didn't only see Empty Realm cultivators. There were also many Mystic Worlds and Spirit Worlds.
One had to know that these cultivators were extremely precious. Usually, they would be in seclusion, trying to break through to a higher realm.
But today, there were more than a dozen of them.
"The Ethereal Region is so prosperous."
Their figures appeared. Looking at the flickering teleportation formation, they could feel the powerful aura around the person who appeared. Beside the teleportation formation, there were many Sector Lords who were used to being in charge. The three of them became more and more curious about this place.
Along the way, they witnessed the prosperity of various regions. Compared to the Ninth Mainland, there were more experts in the Eighth Mainland. Sector Lords could be seen everywhere. And here, Mystic Worlds were everywhere.
When they arrived at the Ethereal Region, the three didn't stop, nor did they deliberately rest. Immediately, they embarked on the journey to the Ethereal Manor. Ever since they arrived at the Seventh Mainland, Zi Chen's emotions were fluctuating. He couldn't hide his excitement.
After paying enough World Emperor Stones, the three quickly arrived at the Ethereal Manor. But unexpectedly, there were more Mystic Worlds and Spirit Worlds here than in the Ethereal Region.
The three originally wanted to rush to the Ethereal City, but they were stopped at the Teleportation Array. The reason was that there were too many people heading to the Ethereal City recently, causing a small problem with the Teleportation Array. Now, it was under repair.
"Even the Teleportation Array is broken. How many experts are heading to the Ethereal City?"
Helpless, the three could only stay in the Ethereal Manor.
The entire Ethereal Manor was bustling. Every restaurant was almost full. In every restaurant, there were traces of Mystic Worlds and Spirit Worlds.
Seeing this scene, even the usually high-profile Monk couldn't help but sigh, "Since we're here, we'd better keep a low profile. After seeing Meng Yao, we'll leave with her. Don't cause any trouble."
"Who would be bored enough to cause trouble? That's courting death." Zi Chen smiled. It was obvious that he was under great pressure.
Suddenly, as they were moving forward, they heard discussions coming from the restaurant.
"If you ask me, this marriage is a happy ending."
"That's right, it's a win-win situation. Ximen Dong successfully hugged the beauty, and the beauty successfully obtained the cultivation method."
"What you said is true, but if you see Su Mengyao, you will not say so. She is a real goddess, beautiful and unparalleled. She is like a fairy descending to the mortal world. It is really a pity that such a stunner is married to Ximen Dong."
"That's right, Su Mengyao is a real goddess. As for Ximen Dong, he has already married eight times and married eight wives. Now, he married goddess Su Mengyao, but the goddess is only ranked ninth."
"Sigh, who asked him to be a great power and have a Sovereign as his father?"
"Isn't that so? The cultivation technique is in the hands of the Sovereign. If Goddess Meng Yao doesn't agree to this marriage, she won't be able to obtain the Misty Inaction cultivation technique. Sigh, what a pity."
In the tavern, a group of cultivators were talking. Moreover, almost the entire Misty Sea Manor was talking about this matter.
Zi Chen, who was moving forward, stopped, and his expression gradually changed. Tyrant also remained silent. Dong Qing naturally knew Zi Chen's purpose this time. After seeing the expressions of the two, he guessed in his heart and his mood suddenly became very complicated.
Tyrant glanced at Zi Chen and said, "Seems like there is trouble."
Zi Chen didn't say a word. He turned around and walked toward the tavern, then walked to a seat.
At this moment, there were four people sitting there, one Empty Realm and three Realm Lords. The four of them were the most enthusiastic just now. Zi Chen's sudden arrival stunned them.
"What marriage were you talking about?" Zi Chen asked, his voice was very low.
The Empty Realm Lord frowned slightly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Zi Chen's attitude. But in the next moment, a bag of World Emperor Stones was thrown on the table, and a cold voice sounded, "Here are a hundred pieces of World Emperor Stones. Tell us, the World Emperor Stones are yours. If you don't care, there are others who do."
The one who spoke was Dong Qing. She had already seen that Zi Chen's mood wasn't right. Under such circumstances, Zi Chen might lose his mind.
"Of course, I care."
The Realm Lord hurriedly took the bag, completely ignoring the jealous gazes around him. He then said, "You should be new to this place. This matter has long been an open secret. Goddess Su Mengyao came from the lower realm, but she comprehended the Misty Inaction Law and was highly regarded by the upper echelons of Misty City. One of the Sovereigns even took her as a disciple. Later, it seems that because of the bloodline problem, the strongest cultivation technique of Misty City seems to be unable to be passed to her.
Zi Chen nodded and asked, "What does that Ximen Dong do?"
When the Realm Lord heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, these three were newcomers, and they didn't even know Ximen Dong. "Ximen Dong's father is called Ximen Lu. He is the master of Goddess Su Mengyao. His potential isn't high, and he is only from the Empty Realm, but he has been married eight times. This is the ninth."
Soon, Zi Chen knew the cause and effect.
It was said that Su Mengyao had been evading this for a hundred years, but this time, she suddenly agreed and was going to get married in a few days.
And so many Mystic Realms and Spirit Realms appeared here all of a sudden. They all received invitations and went to attend the wedding.
In addition to the Mystic Realms and Spirit Realms, it was said that there were also Sovereigns on the list of invitations.
"We know, thank you for telling us." The monk smiled, then pulled Zi Chen out.
Zi Chen's mood was very wrong, and even a fool could see the problem, but the Realm Lords didn't care. One of them smiled and said, "Sigh, another one who came because of her reputation. Unfortunately, the goddess is going to marry someone else."
This kind of situation didn't seem to be rare.
Coming out of the tavern, looking at the gloomy Zi Chen, the monk smiled bitterly and said, "This is great, we're going to do something big again. I've said it before, we're not ordinary people. No matter where we go, we'll be extraordinary. Come, let the whole world tremble under our feet."
"What are you going to do?" Dong Qing looked at Zi Chen and asked.
"Kill." Zi Chen's response was simple, but very decisive.
He didn't ask the two of them for their thoughts, because there was no need to. At this time, the two of them wouldn't leave even if he drove them away. Zi Chen also wouldn't be so bored as to show his kindness to the two of them.
"This matter needs to be considered at length, and we need to make a plan." Dong Qing said again.
"We have too few people, and we don't have a plan. We can only fight, and fight to the death." Zi Chen shook his head and said.
"That's right, we can only fight to the death." The monk nodded in agreement.
Everyone was afraid of death, and no one wanted to die. But sometimes, knowing that death was inevitable, one still wanted to die. Knowing that death was unwise, one still insisted.
What calmness? What wisdom? Sometimes, it was useless.
Gradually calming down, Zi Chen began to reconsider the problem. First of all, this was definitely not a trap, because he had no enmity with Ethereal City. Moreover, in the vast Zhanwu Continent, Zi Chen was nothing at all.
Secondly, he must see Su Mengyao.
"If we meet rashly, I'm afraid we'll alert the enemy."
The monk said, "When Su Mengyao came, she didn't come alone. They must have informed her of your existence, but the other party didn't care. If Mengyao was forced, then her residence must be in a state of lockdown. In this case, appearing in advance will only mess things up."
"In that case, we can only make a move at the wedding venue."
"The wedding venue is indeed a good place, because among the forces that came, not all of them are on good terms with Ximen Lu. If a few forces with enmity come and block Ximen Lu a few times, we may have a chance to escape." The monk said again.
"That's right. Let's confirm the time first, then go to the venue to take a look. Finally, we'll make a simple escape route."
After a simple discussion, Dong Qing went to inquire. This news was known to almost everyone. It was set to be a month later.
Then, there was the issue of the invitation. It was said that only the Mystic World and the Spirit World could enter the venue. As for the Empty World, they could watch from outside.
"The teleportation array will be repaired in three days. At that time, we'll go to Ethereal City first."
Three days later, the teleportation array was completed. The three followed the crowd and set foot in Ethereal City.
After entering Ethereal City, the three saw the prosperity of Ethereal City. If it was three days ago, the three of them would have been amazed. But now, the three of them were in a heavy mood. Their expressions were naturally cold, and they seemed to be indifferent to the bustling city.
Even if there were Mystic World and Spirit World everywhere, Zi Chen would kill his way out.
Ximen Dong had married eight times, but the previous eight times were far inferior to this one in terms of scale and extravagance.
Because the marriage partner this time was a future Supreme, and it was very likely that she was an existence on par with the Ethereal Old Ancestor.
In addition, there was a Supreme Beast by her side. That was definitely a Supreme.
Ximen Lu had only used a cultivation technique in exchange for the service of two Supreme-Beings. Naturally, he had profited greatly from this transaction. Therefore, this time, not only had he sent out invitations to the existences of the Mystic World and Spirit Realm, he had also invited several Supreme-Being experts to witness this grand wedding.
After arriving at Ethereal City, the first thing the three of them did was to watch the wedding. It was a very large square in the center of the city. Now, the decorations were already underway. Lanterns and streamers were everywhere, and the atmosphere was jubilant.
Zi Chen looked at all of this indifferently. In his heart, he was thinking that this place would be filled with corpses and rivers of blood in a month's time.
"Come, follow me to Su Mansion."
Tyrant came in front of Zi Chen and whispered in his ear.
"Su Mansion." Zi Chen was stunned when he heard this.
"Su Mengyao's residence is not in Ethereal City, but a hundred miles outside of the city. Many people have gone to see it. If we go too, we won't arouse any suspicion."
The three of them went out together. Sure enough, they saw many cultivators heading towards Su Mansion.
On the day of the wedding, the bride would come out from here and enter the square of Ethereal City to hold the wedding.
Outside Su Mansion, Zi Chen looked at the mansion in front of him. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his emotions became agitated again.
