Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Chapter 400: Chapter 399: An Uninvited Guest

The Martial Artists stared at the corpse on the ground, its body slowly growing cold. They were all so shocked they held their breath.

They looked at Shen Haoran, his face impassive and devoid of emotion, and couldn’t help but gulp. His ruthlessness and decisiveness sent a shock through their systems.

’That dead Martial Artist was a Tier Nine Spirit Marquis, and Shen Haoran killed him in a single move! Everyone here is a Tier Eight or Tier Nine Spirit Marquis, yet not one of us saw his movements clearly. Is that really something a Tier Five Spirit Marquis can do?’

Shen Haoran, however, ignored their shock. He dusted off his hands and spoke nonchalantly, "My teacher has given his instructions. If you wish to help, that’s excellent. He will be sure to reward you generously afterward. If you wish to leave, that’s fine too. But you must keep what happened today to yourselves and not breathe a word of it. We will not cause any trouble for you. However, if anyone tries to sabotage this operation... the consequences will be the same as his!"

After he spoke, Shen Haoran flicked his finger. A pitch-black flame surged out and enveloped the cold corpse, incinerating it to ash in an instant...

"Young man, don’t worry. Since we agreed to help the Master, we’ll risk our lives to complete the task he assigned. Otherwise, how could we live up to our reputations?"

"That’s right, young man. Our previous worries were unnecessary. With your incredible strength, your teacher must be a reclusive expert. To be fortunate enough to receive an elixir refined by the Master is a blessing we’ve earned over lifetimes. Of course we won’t refuse!"

"That’s right... That’s right..."

A chorus of agreement arose as the Martial Artists hurriedly replied. It had to be said, sometimes violence was the best way to solve a problem. Shen Haoran’s strength was greater than theirs, so naturally, they wouldn’t dare to step out of line.

"Since you have no objections, wait for my signal. Remember, your targets are the disciples. Leave none alive! As for the Spirit Aspects and Spirit Emperors within the Hehuan Sect, someone else will deal with them!" Shen Haoran said coolly.

"Young man, if I may say one more thing... there are so many disciples. Are you sure that the twenty of us—oh, no, there are only nineteen of us now—can really kill them all?" a Martial Artist asked with some concern.

"The power of an Alchemist is that he can use a single elixir to help you reach the Peak of Martial Arts, or use a single elixir to plunge you into an abyss from which you can never escape. Those disciples have consumed elixirs refined by my teacher, so their Spiritual Power is almost completely dissipated. If the nineteen of you still can’t deal with them, then you’re truly incompetent!" Shen Haoran said, glancing at the group with a strange look on his face.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, the Martial Artists all heaved a heavy sigh of relief. If that was the case, then they had nothing to worry about.

Seeing that the Martial Artists had no more to say, Shen Haoran turned his gaze toward the boisterous Sect below, carefully calculating the time.

Meanwhile, the Hehuan Sect was bustling with festivity, decorated with lanterns and colorful banners. The Sect’s disciples had all ended their Cultivation and gathered in front of the main hall to attend the Grand Elder’s celebration.

Atop the dais in the Hehuan Sect’s main hall, a white-haired old man in a grand red robe looked full of vigor. He raised a cup of fine wine to the crowd below and declared loudly, "Today is my great and joyous day! I am honored by your presence at my Hehuan Sect’s banquet. I thank you all! A toast to everyone—I’ll drain mine first!" With that, the Grand Elder downed the fine wine in his cup.

Below the dais, the Sect’s disciples also drained the fine wine from the cups before them.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" A chorus of congratulations rang out, and the Grand Elder on the dais beamed with joy.

Just as everyone was offering their congratulations, a sharp cry from the master of ceremonies drew everyone’s attention.

"Presenting the bride!"

As the voice faded, two Maids came forward, supporting a slender young woman in a long red dress. The young woman’s head was veiled, so her face couldn’t be seen, but her graceful figure alone was enough to spark the imagination.

"Is that the young woman with the Nine Yin Destiny?"

"It must be. Didn’t you notice how the surrounding Yin Qi started gathering toward her the moment she appeared? Truly a destiny rarely seen in this world!"

"Elder Qian is so fortunate to have found such a woman. I reckon it won’t be long before he can attempt a breakthrough to the Spirit Emperor Realm!" A wave of discussion arose after the bride appeared.

However, another bride followed closely behind the first, also being supported as she slowly made her way forward.

"Two brides? What’s going on?" The crowd was completely baffled.

"Oh, that’s right. I forgot to tell everyone that today, Young Master Ouyang of Fallen Valley will also be getting married to a bride here in my Hehuan Sect. This is truly a double celebration, haha!" Elder Qian announced loudly, seeing the astonished looks on everyone’s faces.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and couldn’t quite process it. ’Ouyang Shaoyu, the Young Master of Fallen Valley, was holding his wedding at the Hehuan Sect today? What on earth was going on?’

’As the Young Master of Fallen Valley, Ouyang Shaoyu is destined to become the next Valley Master. How could his wife be chosen so casually? And to hold the wedding like this... It’s just unbelievable.’

"That’s right. Today, I will be wedding a bride alongside Elder Qian. Thank you all for coming to show your support!" As the crowd reeled in disbelief, Ouyang Shaoyu walked out from the main hall. He too was dressed in a red robe; by all appearances, he was truly getting married.

"Then congratulations, Young Master Ouyang!" Seeing that Ouyang Shaoyu was actually getting married, the surrounding Martial Artists suppressed their doubts and offered their congratulations with smiling faces. Ouyang Shaoyu’s status was different from Elder Qian’s. In the future, he would be a figure on par with a Northern Domain Dominator, so he was not someone they could afford to offend.

"The grooms and brides will now bow to Heaven and Earth!" Amidst a flurry of congratulations, the master of ceremonies saw that the auspicious moment had arrived and called out loudly. The two brides, supported by their Maids, began to walk into the main hall.

Gazing at Han Xu beside him, a sinister glint appeared in Ouyang Shaoyu’s eyes. He couldn’t help but lick his chapped lips as he thought to himself, ’After today, you’ll be mine. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well... until you’re no longer useful to me!’

"First bow to Heaven and Earth!" The master of ceremonies’ voice rang out just as this thought crossed Ouyang Shaoyu’s mind. He turned to kneel and bow to Heaven and Earth, but at that exact moment, a thunderous shout echoed from outside the Hehuan Sect.

"Apologies for coming uninvited, but this wedding is hereby cancelled!"
