Chapter 740: 740
“What is that?” Someone noticed the change in the distant horizons, voicing their surprise and confusion.
Some of the high-ranking individuals present also detected the anomaly and cast their gaze toward the distant sky.
A few royal martial artists furrowed their brows, feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Those fiery clouds seemed unusually eerie.
Xuan Emperor, Dugu Fenglei, and Lu Feng, the Lord of the Western Town, all narrowed their eyes slightly. As the ones with the highest cultivation among those present, their senses were sharper than the rest.
On the high platform, both Zhou Yishui and Dugu Nian were looking at the direction from where a vast expanse of fiery clouds was rolling toward them.
The usually calm Zhou Yishui’s face now held a hint of panic. He wasn’t sure why, but he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding as if something dreadful was about to happen.
Dugu Nian stared at the burning clouds, her intuition telling her that someone she cared about was there.
“Go and check it out.” The Xuan Emperor instructed a few of the royal martial artists.
“Yes!” Immediately, three royal martial artists flew toward the approaching fiery clouds.
As the fiery clouds gradually drew nearer, some unrest stirred among the guests; however, it didn’t cause any major disruption.
The three royal martial artists flew to the fiery clouds, gradually feeling an intense wave of heat wash over them. It was as if those were not clouds but a massive onslaught of real fire.
The trio was filled with uncertainty, preparing to go closer for a better look.
Suddenly, a blood-red longsword flew out of the flames, striking with a lightning-fast speed that left no time to cover one’s ears.

The three royal martial artists, all possessing peak Heavenly Origin level cultivation, had no time or chance to react when they saw the blood-red longsword flying toward them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With three dull thuds, the heads of the three royal martial artists were severed as easily as slicing through melons or chopping vegetables, causing no difficulty in the slightest.
The bodies, along with the severed heads, plummeted downward and landed right in front of a large group of guests.
“What? The royal warriors were beheaded?”
“What happened?”
“Did someone really come to disrupt this royal wedding?”
····
Several guests panicked and started to stand.
The expressions on the faces of the Xuan royal family and Dugu family members were incredibly grim. They couldn’t believe that such an incident had unfolded on such a joyous occasion. No matter who the attacker was, daring to kill a royal martial artist indicated an intent to disrupt the wedding.
“How audacious!”
“Absolutely unforgivable!”
“Where did this madman come from?”
····
In an instant, nearly a dozen royal martial artists flew into the sky. Each of their eyes burned with wrath and a powerful murderous aura.
Among these royal martial artists, two were strong opponents at the Spirit Vein level, while the rest were powerful figures at the eighth or ninth level of the Heavenly Origin, far from being tepid.
“No worries. These are probably just some petty daredevils seeking attention,” Xuan Emperor said lightly with a slight smile to the numerous guests, appearing eerily calm despite the beheading of his warriors.
However, not long after the Xuan Emperor’s words, the sky was filled with cries of horror. One by one, lifeless bodies began falling from the sky.
“My God? What’s happening?”
“Could the intruder be a powerful being from somewhere?”
“By killing more than a dozen royal warriors, is this a declaration of war against the royal family?”
····
People were shouting in alarm, and the Xuan Emperor’s expression suddenly turned stiff. His face twitched slightly. Even though he’s the ruler of a country, his suppressed anger seemed on the verge of bursting.
On the high platform, Zhou Yishui’s face was also incredibly grim. Regardless of who the invader was, by publically beheading his royal warriors, this intruder was blatantly slapping the royal family in the face, clearly intending to disrupt the wedding.
Meanwhile, Dugu Nian felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. However, she didn’t show it and simply kept watching the red clouds rolling in.
“It’s so hot!”
“Why do I feel like I’m inside a furnace?”
“This intense heat is eerie!”
····
Many people noticed something wrong; the surroundings inexplicably began to heat up and it kept getting hotter, giving them the sensation of being in a furnace.
Some of the less cultivated people were already sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and looking extremely uncomfortable.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
The sound of breaking through the air constantly reached their ears, and what they saw in the sky above was truly a shocking sight, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
A series of Pill Furnaces flew out of the red clouds, and in each Pill Furnace, the Earth Core Fire was raging.
“My God! So many Pill Furnaces!”
“What’s happening?”
“The Pill Furnaces are actually housing the Earth Core Flame!”
····
“Could a big figure from the Pill Alliance have arrived?” Many began to wonder, looking at the Lord of the Western Town, Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked solemn. He had noticed something.
He had seen this type of Pill Furnace before, in the Pill Pole Tower within Black Cauldron City of the Lower Three Kingdoms.
Thinking of this, a chill ran through Lu Feng. He had a vague idea of who the visitor might be, but rationality told him it was impossible. That person was dead and couldn’t possibly appear.
All eighty-one Pill Furnaces flew out of the red clouds, the Earth Fire raging wildly, as if the entire sky was set alight.
These eighty-one Pill Furnaces did not scatter but arranged into an unusual formation, in the manner of an array, which caused each Pill Furnace to take up a perfect position.
“Look over there! On that largest Pill Furnace!”
“There’s someone on it!”
“Who is this person? What impressive grandeur!”
“That person… seems somewhat familiar?”
····
On the stage above, upon seeing the figure standing on the largest Pill Furnace, Zhou Yishui’s pupils contracted instantly. His face turned pale, his body stepping back unintentionally.
“How is this possible?” Zhou Yishui wanted to roar out in frustration, looking extremely ferocious.
Dugu Nian, however, stepped forward to the edge of the stage, a brilliant smile on her beautiful face.
Despite the inherent beauty of the smile, two streams of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
Clenching the coarse bamboo flute tightly in her hand, Dugu Nian gazed at the figure approaching on the furnace and felt her sadness and sorrow quickly dissipating.
“Fang Lin! It’s Fang Lin!”
“Oh my God! Wasn’t he supposed to have fallen in Hundred Beast Mountain?”
“Stepping on a furnace! Using fire to burn the sky! What is he trying to do?”
“He’s actually alive! Unbelievable!”
“This wedding is likely going to be quite a spectacle.”
····
Everyone had noticed the figure on the biggest Pill Furnace and was shocked beyond measure. After all, Fang Lin’s name became known to all in the Xuan Country after defeating Zhou Yishui.
“Hahahaha! Fang Lin is not dead!” Wang Erdan burst into laughter, dancing with unabashed joy.
Fang Lin arrived, leading eighty-one Pill Furnaces, with infinite Earth Fire and a sky-burning momentum.
Flames ruled the sky and the eighty-one Pill Furnaces shone like stars, incredibly dazzling.
Fang Lin stepped on the biggest of these, his hair flying wildly in the wind, a blood-red longsword in his left hand, an ancient spear in his right, and a black Kylin armor enclosing his body.
