The Black Elder's words shocked everyone present, because according to the Black Elder's consistent style of strict law enforcement and no mercy, he should not deal with it like this. Even if the outsider is not executed immediately, he should be severely punished and expelled from the island.
But now, Di Shitian is allowed to marry Feng Lingling. This move is really unexpected for everyone.
Although there is no need to worry about Di Shitian's life now, given Di Shitian's fighting style, Elder Black's second best solution is unlikely to be feasible.
The palace master's worry didn't last a second, and sure enough...
"No." These two simple words were answered crisply and without any hesitation.
The palace master frowned, feeling really overwhelmed at the moment.
Although everything was as expected, it happened so fast that he didn't have time to think of a follow-up plan, which gave him a headache.
On this island, although the Black and White Elders have no real power, they are the guardians of the temple and have unfathomable cultivation, so they can be said to be supreme beings. No one dares to disobey their orders, including the three major forces and the seven major families.
This was the first time he was rejected, directly, without thinking, and without any consideration for his face. At this moment, the Black Elder was very angry, with the anger of a superior being insulted. A strong force came from behind the curtain and rushed straight to Emperor Shi Tian. Wherever it passed, it was like being swept by a strong wind, and it was like a sharp blade passing through, shattering and dissipating in an instant, which shows the tyranny of this force.
“Not good.” The Palace Master reacted immediately, took a step forward and stood in front of Emperor Shi Tian.
Emperor Shitian didn't expect that by the time he reacted, that force had already collided head-on with the Palace Master's spiritual power. In just three seconds, the Palace Master was forced to take a step back. Although he successfully cracked that force, he also suffered considerable internal injuries.
His body had not yet recovered from the insanity he had suffered a few days ago, and this blow had made the injuries even worse.
"Palace Master!" Jian Xin saw this and immediately stepped forward, "Palace Master, are you okay?"
The Palace Master shook his head, "No problem."
"Palace Master Lingxi, what do you mean? Do you want to humiliate me as well?" The Black Elder was furious. No matter who wanted to disobey him at this moment, they could not escape his wrath.
"Elder, please calm down. I hope you can forgive my friend Di's disrespect for my sake."
"Since you know that he is disrespectful to me, why did you attack him? Do you think I am easy to bully? I tell you, let alone that he disagrees with my decision, even if he regrets and agrees now, he can escape the death penalty but cannot escape the punishment of life. The crime of disrespect must be punished."
"Elder, calm down."
Seeing this, Feng Lingling also stepped forward to plead for Di Shitian.
"Master Fenggu, I have already given you the face I deserve. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since those who deserve rewards have been rewarded, those who deserve punishments must be punished. Master Fenggu, what do you think?" These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but the connotation behind them must be understood by only Feng Lingling.
Sure enough, Feng Lingling lowered her head.
"Brother Feng, just bear with it. After all, the elder is the master of this temple, and his status is noble and cannot be offended. Don't worry, the elder won't really do anything to you. If possible, Lingling is willing to take the punishment for you, but this time you made the elder very angry, and Lingling can't do anything." With tears in her eyes, she looked helpless and knelt down, "I also ask the elder to take Lingling's face and punish me less severely."
“Hmph!” Elder Black snorted coldly and waved his hand in the direction of Emperor Shi Tian. A black light gathered into a lotus and flew towards Emperor Shi Tian.
"It's the Buddha's pity!" Jian Xin said subconsciously when he saw this move. This is a high-level skill of the temple, never passed on to others. It is said to be a skill left by the ancient God of Creation. Young Master Di is just an outsider, and his level of cultivation is unknown. Elder Hei actually used such a move. Isn't this going to cost Young Master Di half his life? If he takes this move, even if he doesn't die, his Dantian will be shattered.
Jian Xin subconsciously looked at the Palace Master. He was really worried that the Palace Master would attack again. If the Palace Master was not injured, he might be able to take this move, but now he could not protect himself.
As expected, the Palace Master was about to move again, but this time he was held back by Kenshin.
They were just a step behind, and it was too late to save him. They just watched helplessly as the black lotus fell on Emperor Shi Tian.
"My dear friend Di!"
"Mr. Emperor!"
"Brother Tian!"
The black light instantly enveloped Emperor Shi Tian, and everyone opened their eyes wide.
Seeing their fear, the Black Elder's anger was slightly calmed. In the face of absolute strength, grovelling is the most correct attitude for them. If you want to be different, you are destined to be wiped out and used as a warning to others! This is not only a punishment for Emperor Shitian, but also a warning to others.
The majesty of the temple must not be violated lightly, and the majesty of the elders must not be violated. They must remember this forever and ever, firmly in their hearts and engrave it in their bones!
However, not all things will develop along his path. A white sword light flashed by, instantly breaking the black light surrounding Emperor Shi Tian. The black lotus quickly withered and finally disappeared.
"You are taking human lives lightly in this temple. Do you think this elder is dead?" A strong spiritual power was mixed in the deep voice. Then an old man came in the air and landed on the temple in the next second.
"Elder Bai." Everyone exclaimed.
"Big brother!" Elder Hei immediately stood up and bowed with a respectful attitude.
There are two elders in the temple, White Elder is the leader and Black Elder is the assistant, helping the gods to take care of the palace and guard the statues. White Elder is not only higher in status than Black Elder, but also has a higher level of cultivation than Black Elder.
"Brother, you didn't even tell me when you came back so I could go and greet you." The anger just now was gone, replaced by a kind smile. He was respectful and looked like a subordinate.
Elder Bai did not say anything, but walked in front of Emperor Shitian and looked at the man in front of him carefully for a long time.
Because Elder Bai did not speak, Elder Hei remained bowed and saluted, and never stood up. But he could still sense Elder Bai's actions. He was puzzled: Could it be that this outsider had some special identity
"Young man, have we met before?" After a long time, Elder Bai finally spoke, but what he said surprised everyone present.
“No.”
Emperor Shitian's answer brought Elder Bai back to his senses. He turned around, walked behind the curtain and sat down.
Seeing this, the Black Elder's heart fell back into his stomach. Fortunately, it was nothing. He said, what relationship can an outsider have with the eldest brother. It seems that the eldest brother is old and blurry and has mistaken the person.
Elder Bai motioned Elder Hei to stand up. "No blood can be seen in the temple. This is disrespectful. You have been in charge of the temple for so long, have you forgotten this little rule? Do you need me to teach you?"
The black elder nodded and said, "Yes, yes, brother is right. I was reckless."
He raised his hand, indicating that the matter should be put to rest. After all, it was a family matter, and punishment or forgiveness should be discussed behind closed doors. He also didn't want to let the Black Elder lose face in front of outsiders.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Elder Black recounted the incident in general. Because of the spiritual barrier when he spoke, no one else could hear what he said specifically. After a long while, Elder Black suddenly came out and said, "Elder White has shown mercy and exempted Emperor Shi Tian from punishment. In addition, Emperor Shi Tian and the Lord of Fenggu will choose a day to get married. On the wedding day, the temple will personally bestow an identity plaque as a sign of blessing."
... ...
As soon as Feng Lingling returned to Fenggu, she immediately set a date, which was three days later.
"Valley Master, isn't this a little hasty? There are many things that need to be prepared. Your status is different now, so the wedding must be grand." Chunying said with a smile as she sorted out the guest list.
Ever since returning from the temple, Feng Lingling has been in a very good mood. She smiles all day long, and there is a light-hearted aura around her, making the servants who serve her feel much more relaxed.
"It's okay, just do it quickly, don't worry too much about the details." For this man, not to mention the twists and turns, she also went through a lot of negotiations. Now that it's finally settled, of course she has to hurry up. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer from chaos. Make a decision immediately to avoid future troubles.
Furthermore, Di Shitian's memory might suddenly recover at any time, so she had to hurry up and make it a done deal. As long as they were married, she couldn't regret it even if he recovered his memory.
"Well, Master, just wait patiently for your chance to become a bride. Chunying will take care of everything else for you."
... ...
Since coming here, Xiao Zi has been addicted to listening to books. Every day, under the pretext of getting information, she would listen for most of the day and would only come back in the afternoon. Every time she came back, she would enthusiastically tell Ling'er and Zi Xi the story with great emotion.
Look, he came back again today, and Zi Xi saw him from afar.
"Zi Xi, I'm back." Not only were his eyes evasive, but his tone of voice was also a little strange.
"Have you heard another great love story today?" Zi Xi said jokingly.
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Xiao Zi look even more flustered. She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, I didn't hear anything today."
Zi Xi frowned, feeling that Xiao Zi was a little abnormal today, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell?" As she spoke, she moved closer to him, stretched out her hand, and tried to touch his forehead, but he subconsciously dodged.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to the house." He turned around and ran to the house. But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Ling'er.
"Xiao Zi."
He braked suddenly, but his expression became even uglier. He forced a very unnatural smile and turned around, "Hey, hey, good morning, Master."
Ling'er looked up at the red sun and said, "It's already afternoon."
"Uh, yes, it's afternoon now. Hehehe, good afternoon, Master."
"Just tell me what you've heard." Looking at his expression, you could tell it wasn't good news.
Xiao Zi closed her mouth tightly, then quickly shook her head, "No, there is no news."
"About Emperor Shi Tian and Feng Ling Ling?" Ling Er looked at Xiao Zi and asked tentatively. Sure enough, Xiao Zi's body stiffened for a moment. Although he still shook his head and said nothing, Ling Er already knew the answer.
"Is the Temple going to punish Emperor Shi Tian... or... to expel him?" Ling'er spoke slowly, carefully observing Xiao Zi's reaction, and gradually got the answer she wanted.
"Or... ... into..."
"They won't get married!" He blurted out without waiting for Ling'er to finish her words. "Ice Face will definitely not agree to marry that bad woman. Master, don't think too much."
Before Ling'er could say anything, this guy blurted out everything.
"They are getting married, right?" No wonder Xiao Zi was so weird. He was afraid that she would be sad after knowing the news, and afraid that she would do something out of line.
"Yes... No, no... It was the elders of the temple who asked them to get married. Ice Face must have been forced, or he had some other reasons." Although Xiao Zi was scared when he saw Di Shitian and didn't like him at all, he didn't know why, but he had confidence in him. That man loved his master so much, he would never fall in love with someone else.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Miss." Zi Xi also came over, looking worried.
"It's okay." Ling'er calmed herself down, forced a smile, then reached out and patted Xiao Zi and Zi Xi on the shoulders, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. You two just need to do what I tell you to do."
Even though Ling'er said this, Xiao Zi and Zi Xi still looked worried.
"Okay, it's okay now. Everything is as planned. Don't you still believe me?"
Three days passed in a flash, and it was Feng Lingling's big day. She was overjoyed and everything was ready, but the Palace Master of Lingxi Palace was in a state of confusion.
Di Shi Tian never gave in from beginning to end. Feng Gu had delivered the groom's wedding suit a long time ago, but Di Shi Tian stayed indoors and practiced in the house for three whole days. Not to mention going out, he didn't even say a word.
"Palace Master, Young Master Di still refuses to open the door."
"Forget it, I'll go there myself."
In the past two days, the Palace Master had personally gone to Elder Bai to ask for help several times regarding Young Master Di's matter, but still returned in vain. Now the Palace Master was really at a loss.
When the Palace Master arrived at the Emperor Shi Tian Gate, he was about to force his way in when the door suddenly opened by itself.
"Come in." This was the voice of Di Shitian. It seemed that he knew that the Palace Master was coming.
"My dear Di, the wedding procession is almost here. Look..."
The maid brought in the wedding dress and placed it on the table, then walked out with her head lowered.
"It has nothing to do with me." He still sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed. Spiritual energy surrounded him, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth penetrated into his body.
Suddenly, a ray of white light flashed and quickly penetrated into Emperor Shitian's body.
Sensing a slight discomfort in his body, Di Shitian suddenly opened his eyes.
"Damn it!" After he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Upon seeing this, the Palace Master immediately stepped forward, wondering what had happened to Emperor Shi Tian.
The door opened again and an old man walked in.
When the palace master saw the person coming, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
“Elder Bai, what are you doing…” He suddenly reacted and looked at Di Shi Tian, but he couldn’t figure out why.
"Don't worry, this is a treasure from the temple ruins. It will only temporarily control his behavior and will not have any effect on his body. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding, this elder had no choice but to do this. You should understand that this is the only way to save him. You don't want him to die, do you?"
The hand that wanted to resist gradually relaxed, silently telling of his surrender. That's right, if Emperor Shitian didn't get the identity card as soon as possible, he would die. Because the climate on the island is quite special, the identity card is also a kind of harmonizer. Emperor Shitian has been on the island for a long time, and he can't hold on any longer.
Elder Bai cast a spell, and Emperor Shitian opened his eyes instantly and returned to his normal state. However, if you look closely, you will see that his eyes are lifeless at this moment, like a puppet.
The wedding procession from Fenggu has arrived, and Di Shitian has already put on his red wedding dress. After bidding farewell to the Palace Master together with Feng Lingling, they will return to Fenggu to hold the ceremony.
"Farewell to the old place, bye~"
Feng Lingling and Di Shitian held the two ends of the bouquet and kowtowed towards the master seat of Lingxi Palace.
Emperor Shi Tian's movements were very slow and he seemed a little reluctant, but in the end he slowly bent down.
The lifeless eyes moved slightly, as if a trapped soul wanted to break free.
