“It’s getting more and more interesting. It’s worth the trip!”
"Two powerful people came to the Blood Sea, and even the Lord of the Blood Sea came in person, but they still couldn't suppress Xu Lian. How many powerful people are behind this genius who rose from the bottom of the common people?"...
In the stands, guests from various forces who came to watch the ceremony were in high spirits.
Even Xu Lian himself couldn't figure it out, how could others know...
The Lord of the Blood Sea, who was sitting on the bone throne, glanced at Xu Lian and said, "You are quite good. With the cultivation of a seventh-level Grandmaster, you can tie with the second-order genius of my Blood Sea. You also have so many powerful people behind you to protect you. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely become a powerful person in the future.
I, Xuehai, have always valued talents. If you join my Xuehai, you can become a second-sequence genius like Wuya.
If you become my Blood Sea person, then the outcome of this final will not matter. I can make Wu Ya give up, and you can win the championship and become my consort. "
Xu Lian asked curiously, "I don't understand what the second sequence means. Is there a first sequence above it?"
The Lord of the Sea of Blood said, "The so-called sequence refers to the ranking of the younger generation by each major force. The younger generation of each major force is large in number, and generally there is such a ranking.
Wu Ya belongs to the second sequence of the sea of blood, and above it is the even stronger first sequence.
Those who are selected into the first sequence are all peerless geniuses, and are the core of each top force. They will not be made public, but will be cultivated as a foundation.
After the First Sequence grows up, it will not casually participate in the fights between various forces. It will only take action when it comes to the moment of life and death.
Therefore, the second-order geniuses will become the top leaders of various forces in the future."
Xu Lian was surprised. Grandmaster Xue Wuya’s ninth level of cultivation could only rank second in the Sea of Blood. Then, how powerful would the first in the Sea of Blood be
He now understood that all the geniuses who came to participate in the selection of the prince consort were second- or third-sequence talents from various forces, and there were no first-sequence peerless geniuses participating in the competition.
"I've been competing with second- and third-rate geniuses... and it's all in vain?"
Xu Lian was somewhat disappointed. He stood out among so many geniuses and made it to the finals. He thought he had become a top-notch talent of the younger generation, but he didn't expect that he was only second-rate.
"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in joining the Blood Sea."
Xu Lian refused.
The two powerful men Xue Wuya and Xue Hai, as well as the Lord of the Blood Sea, all have blood-colored hair and blood-red eyes, as if they were exposed to nuclear radiation... It is obvious that there is something weird about this Blood Sea.
He doesn't want to make himself look like neither human nor ghost.
There is no free lunch in the world. The Lord of the Blood Sea invited him to join the Blood Sea. It is impossible that there are only benefits and no harm. There must be some "pit" waiting for him to jump into.
Just like he became an honorary disciple of Jiange, after his death the Sword of Destroying would belong to Jiange. This was the price.
The Blood Sea Lord's voice immediately turned cold. "If you are not interested in joining the Blood Sea, why are you asking? Are you trying to play a trick on me?"
His expression changed so quickly... Xu Lian said, "I have absolutely no such intention, I just asked casually."
"Since you are unwilling to join Xuehai, then I, Xuehai, must win this final. It is not important whether Wuya becomes the consort of Youchao or not. What is important is that I, Xuehai, will never bow to the strong man behind you!"
The Lord of the Sea of Blood speaks with such force that there is no room for doubt.
Xu Lian stopped talking. Things had come to this point and he couldn't just give in so easily.
His own face didn't matter, it was not worth much... But he couldn't let the powerful man of the Huo family, Changrou's master, and the blurry figure lose face.
People helped him out of kindness and held out against the sea of blood.
No one else has backed down, so he has no reason to back down.
If we can't reach an agreement, then we can only fight!
In fact, the powerful person who took action first in Xuehai has been fighting with the powerful person from the Huo family until now, and it is difficult to determine the winner.
The second mighty man who appeared in the Blood Sea had also been fighting with the rusty Chang Rou, but Chang Rou's master had never shown up, which was a bit insulting... Fighting with a weapon for so long and still having no way to deal with it made the mighty man in the Blood Sea both shocked and angry.
The Lord of the Sea of Blood could not help but attack the blurry figure. He first made a test attack, then disappeared from the bone throne, appeared in front of the blurry figure, and started fighting in close combat!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"...
The two were obviously stronger than other powerful men, and the battle was particularly fierce, causing the entire space to collapse in an instant!
Fortunately, the claws of the nine golden dragons pressed down the space in all directions, preventing the collapse of space from spreading.
Otherwise, all the civilians in the entire imperial capital would suffer, including the practitioners, because any aftermath leaked by the most powerful ones could shatter ordinary practitioners.
"Who on earth is this person? He is not at all inferior to the leader of a top-level force like the Lord of the Blood Sea."
"Brother Xu, can you tell me something?"...
The geniuses could not help themselves and asked Xu Lian one after another who this blurry figure was.
You ask me, who should I ask... Xu Lian said, "My senior sister."
The geniuses' mouths twitched and they wished they could strangle him to death. Such a powerful person could definitely not be of the same generation as him!
He refused to reveal it, and the geniuses had no choice but to watch the battle quietly.
Although it is difficult to see clearly the battle between these extremely powerful people... but feeling the energy fluctuations of this level is also beneficial to cultivation. At least it can establish a target in one's Tao mind.
"Boom!"...
The Lord of the Blood Sea, who was fighting in close combat with a blurry figure, was suddenly blown away, and everyone's eyes widened.
The Lord of the Sea of Blood was furious and appeared in front of the blurry figure again, engaging in close combat.
"Boom!"...
However, just a moment later, the Lord of the Sea of Blood was blown away again!
Everyone was a little stunned. It seemed that the Lord of the Sea of Blood was no match for this guy
"Who exactly are you, Excellency? Why are you hiding your true identity?"
The Lord of the Sea of Blood roared angrily, stood on the throne of bones, controlled the throne of bones, and rushed towards the man again.
A vague and ethereal voice came from the hazy and lingering figure, "Haven't you realized yet? I'm just a projection. If I were really here, you would have died countless times."
this...
projection
Everyone was stunned.
Even the Emperor of You Dynasty, who had always been indifferent, was surprised. A projection suppressed the Lord of the Sea of Blood, so what level of cultivation should her real body have
"Boom!"...
The Lord of the Blood Sea was blown away with his throne, looking in a miserable state!
"Walk!"
He was very angry and really didn't want to fight anymore, so he waved his sleeves and plunged into the sea of blood with Xue Wuya.
The two mighty ones in the blood sea also had no intention of fighting and entered the blood sea.
“Hua La La!”...
The sea of blood that enveloped the imperial capital shrank like the tide and left the huge crack.
then.
The boundless sea of blood outside also receded and disappeared at the end of the distant sky.
"I won?"
Xu Lian was like a young dream. How could a top force like Xuehai be forced to retreat
Come back to your senses.
He quickly bowed to the Huo Family's Great Master, the rusty Changrou, and the graceful Nana, and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Huo Family's Great Master and the other two seniors. Please stay and have a drink."
"No need, I am just your protector. According to the rules of the Sword Pavilion, I cannot have too much contact with you."
The powerful man of the Huo family said something, stepped into the void, and disappeared.
The rusty Changrou pierced into the void and disappeared.
The hazy and graceful figure disappeared directly, as if it had never appeared.
"..." Xu Lian was speechless. This man was really ruthless and didn't talk much.
The great senior of the Huo family and the other two seniors
The geniuses noticed his address and looked at him strangely.
"You don't know who the other two are, do you?"
"You don't even know me, so why would I come to help you?"...
Xu Lian guessed, "Except for the great senior from the Huo family, I really don't know the other two seniors. Maybe they are enemies of the Blood Sea?"
The geniuses didn't know what to say. They felt a little relieved. It was indeed possible that he was an enemy of Xuehai. They didn't want to see Xue Wuya, the second-ranked one of Xuehai, become the consort of Youchao and avoid marriage between Xuehai and Youchao.
Otherwise, Xu Lian didn't even know the person, so why would the person go to so much trouble to help him
"The winner of the finals is Xu Lian!"
The Minister of Rites made the announcement.
Maybe it was because the final was too thrilling that no one cared about the result.
All the civil and military officials, princes and nobles, and guests from various forces in the You Dynasty were speculating about the identity of Changrou's master and the projection, and their attention was not on Xu Lian.
The people at the bottom were very happy and cheered, which created a festive atmosphere. The genius Xu Lian, who rose from the bottom, "counterattacked" the genius of the blood sea, successfully won the championship, and was about to marry the princess. Such a story was in line with the aspirations of the people at the bottom.
"Xu Lian, come forward and listen to the seal."
The eunuch chief who was standing beside the Emperor You Dynasty raised his voice in a rhythmic manner.
Xu Lian walked up to the platform step by step, came to the steps in front of the dragon throne, bowed to the emperor, and waited for the decree.
The chief eunuch read out in a rhythmic voice, "The Emperor of You Dynasty, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, decrees: Xu Lian, a native of Lvzhu Town, Pingyang County, Taizhou Prefecture, is gentle, modest, of good character, diligent in cultivation, and a rough jade has been polished into a useful tool. He can become a pillar of the court. He is appointed as the Duwei of the Royal Princess's Consort, with a rank of the fifth rank. They are a match made in heaven, with talent and beauty. Today is an auspicious day, and they shall be married immediately."
Xu Lian bowed and saluted, "Your humble servant, accept my order."
Two young eunuchs came to Xu Lian holding a set of official uniforms, official seals and other items of the imperial consort and a set of wedding clothes.
Xu Lian took it.
A group of palace maids gathered around him, surrounding him with laughter.
"My Lord, please take a bath and change your clothes."
"The auspicious time has arrived, it's time to get married."...
"..." Xu Lian followed them to take a shower and change into wedding clothes. Weddings in this world are so fast. Of course, he didn't object to it being so fast. There was nothing wrong with being faster.
The crowd did not disperse either. Countless eunuchs filed out from the imperial palace above, holding red lanterns, wedding calligraphy, red silk cloth, etc., and began to quickly decorate the venue.
When Xu Lian came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes, the place was completely new and filled with a festive atmosphere. Tables of wine and banquets were also set up, and the efficiency was extremely high...
As the sounds of gongs and drums rang out, a sedan chair carried by sixteen people came out from the palace shrouded in mist, followed by a long dragon-like guard of honor. It was obvious that this was the bride, the eldest daughter of the emperor.
At the smiling signal of the Minister of Rites, Xu Lian stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and welcomed the legitimate princess out with a red silk cloth. The legitimate princess was covered with a red veil, so Xu Lian could not see her appearance, but he expected that the legitimate princess of the You Dynasty could not be bad-looking.
Next.
It's the wedding ceremony.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
"Second bow to your Majesty."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
"The ceremony is over!"
After a set of procedures, the marriage is completed.
Xu Lian first sent the legitimate princess to the princess's residence, and then came out to accompany her for drinking.
All the geniuses wanted to make friends with Xu Lian, the rising top talent, and they chatted and laughed while drinking with him.
Guests from various forces, civil and military officials in the court, and princes and nobles also showed great respect.
Until late at night.
Then the show ended.
Xu Lian went to the princess's mansion.
When he arrived at the princess's boudoir and waved his hand, the palace maids covered their mouths, smiled, and left tactfully.
Xu Lian closed the door and bolted it...
He came to the edge of the bed and sat next to the princess.
Glancing at the princess who was sitting gracefully beside him, he could tell that she was a little nervous.
Xu Lian slowly lifted her red veil... just like opening a blind box.
When Xu Lian saw the appearance of the legitimate princess, his eyes lit up. She was not only very beautiful, but also stunningly beautiful. He felt astonished.
Xu Lian said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early..."
The princess blushed and said "hmm".
Xu Lian said nothing more, blew out the red candle, and began to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
