LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 104
Chapter 104
An Emperor was beyond measure and was difficult to divine.
Only an existence at this level could prevent him, a peak Quasi-Emperor, from deducing the situation.
However, even if it were an Emperor, would merely attempting to divine the situation truly make him feel a threat of death?
Moreover, although he did not know the exact identity of the other party, the feeling he got was that the person was not overly powerful.
At least, not a Quasi-Emperor.
“Are you saying an emperor made a move against Cang’er? Shenwu, do you think I would believe that?”
The beautiful woman laughed in her anger.
She knew her child’s character well enough.
A grand Emperor, such an exalted existence, would never deign to make a move against her child.
The Divine Martial King fell silent.
He also felt that his speculation was absurd. Perhaps the person who killed his child possessed a supreme treasure capable of concealing heavenly secrets, or had a master aiding in the concealment.
These were all possible scenarios.
“Did that person leave no trace at all? Is your wisp of divine thought that useless?”
The beautiful woman shouted angrily, her Quasi-Emperor aura surging, pressing towards the Divine Martial King.
If it were an ordinary Great Saint, they would likely be crushed by the Quasi-Emperor’s aura.
However, the Divine Martial King was a peak Quasi-Emperor, his strength surpassing that of the beautiful woman, and he naturally did not fear such pressure.
“That’s not the case. That wisp of divine thought did transmit some information to me. His name is Su Changsheng, a strong figure from the Eternal Imperial Court. His cultivation level and identity are unknown…”
The Divine Martial King sighed lightly, revealing the information he had obtained, causing the beautiful woman’s expression to fluctuate.
“Unknown cultivation level? Unknown identity?”
The beautiful woman muttered to herself for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh, her golden eyes fixing on the Divine Martial King.
“It seems you are afraid of the other party, fearing that they might be a supreme being?”
“Hmph, since you don’t dare to avenge Cang’er, I will do it myself. I refuse to believe that, as the princess of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, I cannot avenge Cang’er!”
“Su Changsheng? This princess will remember that name!”
With that, the beautiful woman turned and left, not sparing the Divine Martial King a single glance.
“Sigh. I also wish to take action, but I have no time, I cannot spare the effort!”
The Divine Martial King watched the departing woman, sighing softly, feeling helpless.
However, he was not worried that the woman would encounter any trouble.
As the princess of the Heavenly Dragon Clan and a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, with numerous trump cards at her disposal, she could retreat safely even if she faced a peak Quasi-Emperor.
A Great Saint, no matter how astonishing their combat power, capable of severing a wisp of his divine thought, could not possibly be a match for the woman.
“Troubled times!”
The Divine Martial King sighed lightly, then his figure vanished.
Meanwhile, the news from this place quietly spread, causing a stir in the Imperial Capital.
The Divine Martial King’s own child was killed, and the culprit was Su Changsheng from the Eternal Imperial Court. Despite being only at the Great Saint level, he managed to destroy a wisp of the Divine Martial King’s Quasi-Emperor divine thought.
Countless forces were shocked by this news.
……
On the other side, in the True Saint Continent.
After Su Changsheng and his companions returned, the Wang and Su families seized the opportunity to launch a thunderous assault on the Three Sects’ forces, uprooting them completely wherever they went.
In just ten days, the Three Sects’ forces were annihilated, and their territories were taken over by the Su and Wang families. Furthermore, the Wang family announced their allegiance to the Su family and married off two of their celestial maidens to Ancestor Changsheng.
For a time, the entire True Saint Continent was shaken. Numerous forces, including some remaining top-tier powers, were all filled with fear.
The Su family’s actions were incredibly swift.
In such a short period, they had eradicated three top-tier forces and gained the allegiance of the Wang family.
It could be said that nearly one-third of the top-tier forces in the True Saint Continent had fallen at the hands of Su Changsheng.
How could this not fill them with fear and unease?
However, just as many forces were feeling unsettled, the Su family released an announcement: the Su family patriarch, Su Changsheng, was about to get married, with the ceremony to be held in two days.
This news brought a sigh of relief to many forces. A wedding was indeed a good thing.
As long as the wedding took place, the Su family would not engage in external conquests for a while, giving other forces more time to gather resources.
During this period, whether they chose to surrender or flee, they would have more options and leverage.
Two days later, in Wanxiang City, an astonishing wedding ceremony officially began.
This time, Su Changsheng was marrying nine brides in total.
Among them were six peerless goddesses: Ziyue Emperor, An Miaoyi, Lin Miao, Wang Xi, Chu Yue, and Lu Qingchan. Additionally, there were three others brought by Su Yun.
Although these three merely had divine physiques, their beauty was also top-notch, making them renowned goddesses across the continent.
Originally, Lu Qingchan was supposed to be a sword-carrying maidservant, but after the battle with the White Bone Great Saint, Su Changsheng’s view of her changed. He casually asked her a question.
He thought she would refuse, but to his surprise, Lu Qingchan blushed and hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Thus, both master and disciple married him together.
This news reached the Divine Firmament Holy Land, nearly infuriating several Great Saint patriarchs to the point of breaking their noses.
One by one, they drew their swords and rushed over, intending to give Su Changsheng a beating and take Lu Qingchan back.
In the end, they were the ones who got beaten by Su Changsheng.
After witnessing Su Changsheng’s prowess as a Great Saint Overlord, the previously furious Great Saint patriarchs forced smiles, resembling blooming chrysanthemums, and happily agreed to marry Lu Qingchan to Su Changsheng.
They even went so far as to say that if Lu Qingchan and her disciple were not enough, they would send a few more pairs from the Divine Firmament Holy Land.
This infuriated Lu Qingchan, who drew her sword and drove them all away.
As for Heavenly Maiden Qingyin, she claimed to be merely a follower and unworthy of being Su Changsheng’s wife, but she could serve as a bedchamber maid.
This made Su Changsheng thoughtful.
“Hiss. It’s not unusual to marry nine brides at once, but having each one be a peerless goddess is truly astonishing!”
“Truly envious of Ancestor Changsheng. A man’s life is nothing more than this!”
“Tsk tsk. Ziyue Emperor, a ruler of a top-tier force, and An Miaoyi, who even made saints bow back in the day. Then there’s the Celestial Maiden from the Wang family, the Holy Maiden of the Taishi Sect, and even from the Divine Firmament Holy Land…”
“So many goddesses, and they all agreed to marry Saint Changsheng. This… this is truly a man’s fortune, something that can’t be achieved in several lifetimes!”
“Only Saint Changsheng could win over so many goddesses. If it were anyone else, even another saint, they wouldn’t be worthy!”
“No wonder the Taishi Sect never intervened in the Su family’s actions… they had been planning an alliance through marriage all along!”
At the wedding banquet, one by one, the powerhouses from other forces were all exclaiming in amazement and envy. The leaders of the top-tier forces were no different.
They were filled with both admiration and jealousy.
Any one of these nine goddesses would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for them to marry.
Let alone marrying all nine at once.
This made them immensely envious of Su Changsheng’s good fortune.
“Please welcome the groom and the brides…”
Soon, one by one, the brides entered, each wearing a red bridal veil, followed by Su Changsheng.
He appeared heroic and unparalleled, his presence otherworldly, causing countless cultivators and powerhouses present to marvel.
Many of the celestial maidens and fairy-like figures watched with shining eyes, their faces full of admiration.
It was too perfect. Such appearances were beyond what any mortal cultivator could possess.
After a series of wedding ceremonies, the brides were all sent to the bridal chamber.
The wedding banquet continued, with a gathering of prominent figures, including powerhouses and cultivators from various sects, all celebrating joyously.
The wedding banquet lasted for an entire month.
