Chapter 834: The Grand Wedding
A group of evil spirits had been hungry in the storage rings for several months. At this moment, they were only left with the instinct of “hunger,” having forgotten even fear. One by one, they bared their fangs and claws and rushed out, roaring like wild beasts, their saliva dripping all over the ground. On the nearby streets, townspeople were rushing about for a living, selling their wares with all their might, their voices noisy and harsh, covering up any unusual activity.
“Roar!”
Just then, a ragged black figure leaped out from an alley. It looked emaciated, but its feet were very powerful. As soon as it landed, it created a large pit in the bluestone road, causing碎石乱飞 that hit the nearby townspeople, making them cry out in pain.
Even more terrifying was that this hopping person had a pair of crimson eyes, sharp fangs showing at the corners of its mouth, and its exposed skin was covered with dense viridian corpse spots.
Clearly, this was a zombie, and a bronze-ranked zombie at that!
“My goodness! It’s a zombie! Everyone run!”
“Didn’t Alliance Leader Qi say that all evil spirits in the cultivation world had been eliminated? Why are there still zombies?”
“She’s really cursed us. If I had known there were still evil spirits, I would have brought a protective amulet with me.”
…
The townspeople were terrified and complained as they fled. However, what awaited them was even more despair. Several more zombies hopped out from the alleys on both sides of the street. One of them was agile and nimble, its corpse spots were actually silver, clearly indicating it was a silver corpse.
Seeing this situation, the people on the street’s hearts sank by more than half. Many could only squat down, holding their children, waiting for death. Their faces revealed proud smiles, as this was their masterpiece after all.
“When all the people in this small town become zombies, let’s see how Qi Huang explains it to the people of the cultivation world.” Zheng Wei said proudly, forgetting even to use mind transmission.
“Boom!”
At this critical moment, spiritual senses descended from the sky, completely suppressing all the evil spirits onto the ground. Their bodies directly met
The crowd looked around in confusion, and then they saw a green graceful figure, carrying a heartwarming faint fragrance, gently descend. She wore a veil on her face and had a pink lotus-shaped clone mark between her eyebrows.
“Not good, Qi Huang, run quickly!”
Zheng Qian and his son were shocked to their souls and tried to escape using their spiritual senses.
“Want to run? Too late!”
Qi Huang sneered, her spiritual sense emerged from her body, binding Zheng Qian and his son. Then, she stuffed them and a few surviving evil spirits into the storage rings and sealed them.
After doing all this, Qi Huang disappeared from the spot like a ghost, as if she had never appeared.
“Are we saved? Who was that fairy just now?”
“I don’t know! She must be a heavenly immortal who descended to earth, otherwise, how could she have subdued so many evil spirits so easily?”
“That looks like Alliance Leader Qi!”
“Are you sure? She’s from the Dao Alliance, how could she suddenly appear here?”
“I’ve seen her portrait, she really looks alike!”
The townspeople who survived after the disaster peeked out and discussed.
Qi Huang returned to HongHua Sect and immediately ordered the major branches of the Dao Alliance to post notices stating that Zheng Qian and his son had harbored evil spirits and harmed people. She would execute them in half a month as a warning.
The reason Qi Huang chose after half a month was that Zheng Qian and his son had special identities, and it would be too wasteful to kill them so hastily. Therefore, she had to attract enough onlookers to serve as a deterrent.
Half a month later, countless cultivators rushed to the Dao Alliance, wanting to see if Qi Huang had the courage to kill the Peak Master of Supreme Peak.
“You say our Peak Master harbored evil spirits, where is the evidence?”
“Yes, everyone knows you have a feud with our Supreme Peak. This is purely retaliatory.”
“Without evidence, you are wantonly killing innocent people. How can the Dao Alliance be convincing in the future?”
They questioned and seized the opportunity to speak, ready to rescue Zheng Qian and his son at any time.
“Evidence? Don’t worry, I will present it all without you asking, after all, the Dao Alliance has always acted openly and fairly, rewarding the good and punishing the wicked.”
Qi Huang directly took out the Recording Mirror and played the evidence of Zheng Qian and his son’s crimes in public.
“This is impossible!”
Zheng Qian and his son’s faces turned ashen. They really couldn’t understand how they had done their work so flawlessly, yet Qi Huang had managed to film it.
With the evidence in front of them, the people of Supreme Peak had nothing to say.
“Disciples of Supreme Peak, listen carefully. Do not come to save us, nor seek revenge for us.”
Zheng Qian knew that he was doomed, so he rationally ordered the people of Supreme Peak.
The disciples of Supreme Peak were already afraid, and upon hearing this, they felt at ease and chose to remain silent.
“Peak Master Zheng is indeed worthy of being a Peak Master. He is still so calm even when facing death. Unfortunately, his intelligence was not used for the right purpose.” Qi Huang couldn’t help but sigh.
“Sob sob sob… I don’t want to die… Alliance Leader Qi… Please don’t kill me… I’m willing to be your beast of burden, your slave, your servant.” Zheng Wei wailed and begged by the side.
Qi Huang was unmoved. With a thought, her powerful spiritual sense crushed the bodies and souls of the father and son into dust.
The onlookers trembled, not daring to breathe.
Qi Huang’s display of both power and grace completely deterred the entire cultivation world and allowed the Dao Alliance to establish a firm foothold.
Qi Huang knew that her goal had been achieved, and it was time to continue focusing on getting stronger. However, before that, she had a wish to fulfill.
Three days later, HongHua Sect announced that Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling would hold their grand wedding on the sixth day of the next month, and everyone was welcome to come and celebrate. Although the news was sudden, it did not cause any gossip. After all, the entire cultivation world knew that Qi Huang had been transformed from a man, so marrying Cheng Hong Ling was a natural thing, and the two were indeed a good match. Cheng Yuan and his wife did not hear any gossip and were also happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing the situation, Qi Huang felt a great weight lifted off her heart. This proved that her decision to reveal her identity was correct, and sacrificing that little bit of so-called reputation was indeed worth it.
“Aren’t you going to inform your family about our marriage?” Cheng Hong Ling came to ask.
Qi Huang pondered for a long time and then said, “If I am to tell them about this, I must first tell them everything I have experienced.”
“Yes, otherwise how would you explain it?” Cheng Hong Ling retorted.
“Then let’s forget it. It’s not easy for us to get to where we are today. Since both families are already complete, why should I stir up trouble and add to the worries for myself and my family? Besides, Huang Tian is equivalent to myself.” Qi Huang immediately shook her head.
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t say anything more.” Cheng Hong Ling also understood the principle, so she didn’t force it.
As Qi Huang looked forward to it day and night, the sixth day of the first lunar month finally arrived, and she, as wished, put on the groom’s formal attire. Cheng Hong Ling’s heart was also sweet. No one knew how much she liked Qi Huang, which could be seen from her willingly putting on the phoenix coronet and xue guan. After the wedding ceremony, the young couple finally reaped the rewards of their love.
Qi Huang felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. After all, her bride was the dream lover of every man in the entire cultivation world. Thinking of this, she became even more excited and entertained the guests perfectly.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Cheng Hong Ling ordered a senior sister to call the slightly tipsy Qi Huang to the bridal chamber.
“Quick, take off your clothes.” Cheng Hong Ling said as she took off her phoenix coronet and xue guan, revealing large expanses of fair skin without any hesitation.
“Wife, why are you so impatient? You’re undressing when the guests haven’t even left yet. Have I not satisfied you enough normally?” Qi Huang joked.
“Do you count whether I’ve satisfied you or not in your heart?” Cheng Hong Ling immediately retorted.
“Uh…” Qi Huang was a bit embarrassed now. She regretted asking that question.
“Stop standing there like an idiot. Don’t you remember that you, as a celestial being, will transform into a woman at night?”
“What? You mean to tell me you forgot that you would have a female personality tonight? Can you tolerate those drunkards outside? Hurry up and change clothes with me so I can deal with them.” Cheng Hong Ling explained the reason.
Qi Huang suddenly remembered. She still wanted to put on a brave face, but Cheng Hong Ling directly pulled off her formal attire. Qi Huang had no choice but to play the role of the bride, guarding the empty room alone.
“I was clearly the groom, why did I inexplicably become the bride?” Qi Huang looked at the red wedding veil in front of her, feeling strange. However, as the female personality descended, she suddenly found everything in front of her to be so reasonable. She was suited to be the bride.
After the grand wedding, Qi Huang began to concentrate on growing vegetables and improving her strength. Because the cultivation of ghost tomatoes was on an unprecedentedly large scale, in just one year, her spiritual sense broke through to the level of a master celestial being. Cheng Hong Ling did not fall behind either. With Qi Huang’s help, her strength also reached the peak of the Heavenly Punishment Realm.
At this point, a tricky problem arose: Cheng Hong Ling could no longer become stronger. Otherwise, her body would collapse the space of the cultivation world, and she would be forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, a solution had to be found.
“You now have two choices. First, stop cultivating and remain a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Punishment Realm forever.” Qi Huang first offered a choice.
“Just state the second option.” Cheng Hong Ling said without hesitation. She had never been someone who was content to be a “salted fish.”
“Second, we will leave Lishui Star immediately and search the universe for assimilation power. As long as we obtain enough assimilation power, you will be able to display Lu Yao’s assimilation domain. At that time, you can stay in your own domain, no matter how strong you are, you can remain in this world.” Qi Huang gave Cheng Hong Ling another choice and then added, “However, to display assimilation power, you must first allow me to assimilate you.”
“Let’s go with this method. It’s time we went out to see the world.” Cheng Hong Ling immediately made her decision.
