Dare to Cancel the Engagement? I Will Marry Your Ancestor! - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Direct Retreat

North Han State, Tianguang City:

This is the city closest to the Tianyun Sect. Although the population of this city was already quite large, the number of people entering the city in the past two days has increased several times.

Two armored guards leaned against the city wall.

One of the thinner guards looked at the increasing number of people wanting to enter the city and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Wang Wu, how come I just took a two-day break, and suddenly there are so many people entering Tianguang City? Could it be that a spiritual treasure has appeared nearby and these people are here to seek it?”

The guard called Wang Wu, glanced at him, and said, “Hu San, have you been lying on a woman’s belly for the past two days? You don’t even know that something big happened in Tianyun Sect?”

Hu San scratched his head, his face turning slightly red.

Wang Wu had indeed hit the mark. Hu San hadn’t even left his house for the past two days, having battled with his three wives for two days and nights.

Wang Wu gave him a knowing look, revealing a mischievous smile.

“You’re always like this every time you take a break. One day you’ll die on a woman’s belly.”

Hu San chuckled awkwardly and didn’t respond. Instead, he asked, “Tell me, what happened in Tianyun Sect? Did the sect master die?”

Wang Wu glared at him, “You brat, you dare to say anything. The sect master of Tianyun Sect is already at the peak of the Zhuyuan Realm. Even if you die, he won’t.”

“I’ll tell you, the sect master of Tianyun Sect is getting married to the ancestor of the Long family, Long Qianqian. All the people entering the city in the past two days are invited to the wedding feast.”

“What?” Hu San was stunned.

“Marrying the Long family’s ancestor? I heard that the sect master was engaged to a disciple of the Long family, Long Ziyan. How did it become that the ancestor is marrying him?”

Wang Wu smiled mysteriously and said, “You don’t understand. I heard some inside information. It’s because Long Ziyan caught the eye of a big shot from Xingyao Sect and went to Tianyun Sect to break off the engagement. Tianyun Sect was expected to suffer in silence, but they surprised everyone by deciding to marry the Long family’s ancestor instead.”

“Tianyun Sect is too bold. Isn’t this a slap in the face to Xingyao Sect?” Hu San’s eyes widened.

Xingyao Sect is the absolute overlord in the eastern part of North Han State.

Now, a big shot from Xingyao Sect has taken a fancy to the younger generation of the Long family, Long Ziyan.

But Tianyun Sect directly marries the Long family’s ancestor, openly challenging Xingyao Sect’s authority.

“But I’ve heard that the Long family’s ancestor is also quite powerful. Would she really be willing to marry into Tianyun Sect?” Hu San asked, puzzled.

Wang Wu smiled mysteriously, “That I don’t know. But what I do know is that tomorrow, the sect master of Tianyun Sect will marry the Long family’s ancestor, and they’ve invited all the sects within a thousand miles to the wedding feast. That’s why there have been so many people coming and going in Tianguang City in the past two days.”

“Hu San, I’m telling you, you better stay sharp these few days. If you offend any big shot, your three beautiful wives will become someone else’s.”

Hu San nodded dumbfoundedly.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, Tianguang City bustled with crowds as numerous sect forces who had been invited sent their people over.

Inside the Tianyun Sect, it was equally lively, with everyone bustling about, preparing for the wedding banquet tomorrow.

As for Mo Ling, the main character of the event, he hadn’t shown up in front of everyone for two consecutive days.

Inside the Council Pavilion.

A group of elders sat on both sides, discussing the matters of tomorrow’s banquet.

“Second Elder, the sect master has been in seclusion all this time. He won’t fail to show up tomorrow, will he?”

An elder with gray hair spoke to the elder seated at the head.

“Don’t worry, the sect master is not someone who would be so indiscreet. He’s already made his announcement; he certainly won’t be absent tomorrow.”

The second elder replied.

However, he himself felt somewhat unsure.

Tomorrow was a big day, and if their sect master didn’t show up, it would be quite a mess.

Not only would they deeply offend the Long family, but those who were invited to the ceremony might also be greatly displeased with Tianyun Sect.

But as the current pillar of support, he naturally couldn’t show his uncertainty, so he said what he just did.

Sure enough, upon hearing the second elder’s words, the other elders felt much more at ease.

“But the sect master not showing up all this time isn’t good either. There are many things we need to confirm with him. What should we do?”

After all, this was Mo Ling, the sect master’s wedding. Although it was previously stated that all the preparations would be handled by the elders, some things still needed to be decided by him, the person in charge.

What troubled them was that ever since the competition ended that day, Mo Ling had directly gone into seclusion and hadn’t shown up for two consecutive days. They couldn’t even approach him, being blocked by the barrier.

With no other choice, they sought the second elder to discuss countermeasures.

The second elder, understanding their thoughts, pondered for a moment and said, “You all just focus on preparing the banquet. This is the sect master’s grand wedding, and many sect forces have been invited. We cannot afford to lose Tianyun Sect’s face in front of outsiders.”

“As for the sect master, I’ll wait at his residence today. I’ll find a way to get him out of seclusion.”

Upon hearing the second elder’s words, everyone finally felt relieved.

“In that case, we’ll rely on you, Second Elder. We’ll go and get busy.”

Then, about a dozen elders left the Elder Pavilion simultaneously, each busy with their own tasks.

The second elder, on the other hand, rushed to Mo Ling’s courtyard non-stop.

Outside the courtyard, there was a barrier covering it.

This barrier wasn’t strong; it was just meant to inform others that someone inside was in seclusion and shouldn’t be disturbed.

With the second elder’s strength, he could easily break this barrier and forcibly awaken Mo Ling.

However, he was also afraid that if the sect master was at a critical breakthrough stage, forcibly awakening him might cause Mo Ling to suffer a Qi deviation.

Thus, the second elder was momentarily at a loss about what to do.

“Forget it, I’ll wait and see. If the sect master hasn’t come out of seclusion by tonight, I’ll wake him up myself.”

The second elder pondered for a while and finally made a decision.

…

On the other side.

After the competition, Mo Ling returned to the courtyard and immediately began closed-door cultivation.

To say it was closed-door cultivation was actually to use the emotional value he had previously earned to improve his martial arts skills.

Over the span of two days, he had exhausted his emotional value.

Ding!

[Consumed 3800 emotional points to deduce for forty-three years. Through repeated tempering and insights, the Scarlet Emperor Seal has successfully advanced to perfection.

With a crisp mechanical sound, Mo Ling opened his eyes.

“Ah!”

“Finally, all three of my martial arts techniques have reached perfection.”

“Judging by the time, it’s about right. It’s time to come out and get married.”

Mo Ling happily stood up.

He was just about to close the barrier outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

“Boom!”
