Chapter 234: Chapter 185: Announce, Bridal Chamber!_2
Even Xu Yang was somewhat dazzled and felt his eyes throbbing!
If he hadn’t cultivated the “Heavenly Eye Skill” and had relied on the “Heavenly Eye Talisman” to open his Heavenly Eye, he would have likely gone blind from one glimpse!
“Ahhh!!!”
“We’re going to die!”
“Spare us!”
“Run, run, this human is too powerful!”
In the night sky, wails of ghosts echoed, with some scrambling and burrowing into the ground, while others panicked and ran in the direction of the farm.
Grandmaster Chengming’s white beard fluttered lightly as he waved his hand. Suddenly, a screen of light rose in the night sky, transforming into the Yin-Yang Bagua suspended in the air. With a gentle turn, all Yin spirits and violent ghosts flying towards the farm were wrapped by the Yin-Yang Bagua and in an instant, were reduced to ashes.
“Infinite Heavenly Venerate.”
Grandmaster Chengming, his eyes filled with compassion, said, “Humans and ghosts follow different paths, one living, one dead. Now that you’ve died, you should not linger in the world of the living to do evil… As Heaven prizes all life, I will help you move on.”
A thousand brutal Yin spirits, seven Ghost Kings, and one Demon King were almost wiped out. Only the suppressed Huishan Demon survived.
Wang Hou flew back, rejoining Grandmaster Chengming and the others in the private room.
Outside, the guests and the Yin spirits still wore faces of shock, unable to recover their composure for a long time.
Upon Xu Yang’s signal, everyone at last continued their meal.
On the stage.
The music started again. However, the female hosts were a bit shaky on their feet. Xu Yang immediately invited the group of singing and dancing female ghosts he had invited from the Ghost Market in Qinglou. Traditional Chinese musical instruments like the guzheng, pipa, and jade flute resounded in harmony, and the nine slim, gauze-clad female ghosts danced to the rhythm, creating a beautiful vista!
The unique wedding ceremony lasted until 11 pm.
The numerous Yin spirits dispersed.
Some regular guests who attended the wedding were escorted back to Wu City by vehicles arranged by Xu Yang.
Within the farm.
Yang Wanchcng started calling on the chefs and waiters to clean up the leftovers, sanitation, tables, and chairs.
In the private room.
Only Wang Hou, Grandmaster Chengming, and Xu Yang remained.
Grandmaster Chengming had drunk quite a bit today.
He is the senior of Zongshcng Palace, where it belongs to the Quanzhen Sect, which forbids marriage, smoking, and drinking.
This rule was established by the Ancestral Master of Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang.
The three of them took several toasts together.
Outside the room, Yang Wancheng brought in several more dishes as accompaniment for the wine.
As Wang Hou savored his dishes, he said, “Senior Chengming, do you think I can dominate the martial world now that I have broken through to the realm of the Land Immortal?”
“You little rascal!”
Grandmaster Chengming shook his head, smiling bitterly: “Why do you always want to dominate the martial world? The chaotic martial world might not necessarily be a bad thing… Competition breeds progress. Otherwise, if the martial realm were stagnant, how could great talents arise?”
“The chaos of the martial world might be a good thing for martial artists, but not necessarily for common people… Moreover, the nation is preparing to promote martial arts and Daoist skills on a large scale. This will require the support and cooperation of all the major martial families, sects, and Daoist schools… If I cannot dominate the martial world, how can these sects agree?” “Are you truly ready to make it public?”
Grandmaster Chengming’s expression changed slightly.
Even Xu Yang couldn’t help but put down his chopsticks.
Wang Hou gave a soft laugh, “I’ve been preparing for this for the past ten years. Except that back then, I lacked the power to achieve it… Now, with the frequency of bizarre incidents increasing and the laws of Heaven and Earth becoming clearer, there will be great changes in the future. Common people shouldn’t live in lies.”
He paused, then added, “More importantly… looking at the current situation, we probably won’t be able to keep it a secret for much longer. With the frequent occurrence of strange events, many normal people are living in fear. Instead of letting them live in fear, why not make it public and open martial arts academies to promote cultivation among the population? With our grand population of 1.4. billion in Da Xia, there will surely be a new generation of talented individuals!”
After some thought, Grandmaster Chengming said, “Proceed as you wish. Our Quanzhen Sect will fully support you.”
It wasn’t until midnight that Wang Hou and Grandmaster Chengming finally left.
Before they left, Wang Hou brought Xu Yang over to introduce the new wives.
Introducing Liu Shishi and the others, he said, “Ladies, this is the strongest martial artist in Da Xia, the founder of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, and a cultivator of the realm of the Land Immortal, Minister Wang Hou!”
