Chapter 72 The grand ceremony begins

Seeing Nangong Wan staring at her coldly, Fairy Miaoyin also put away the fake smile on her face, "In that case, I will tell you the truth."

"Junior sister, why don't you open this storage bag first and see what's inside!"

Nangong Wan frowned, then stretched out her jade hand to take the storage bag handed over by Fairy Miaoyin, opened it casually, and her pupils shrank slightly in an instant, "Could this be the Longevity Fruit!"

"Yes, this longevity fruit can probably increase the life span of a cultivator by less than ten years. It is nothing to us, but it is very important to the ancestors of the sect."

Fairy Miaoyin stopped here and looked at Nangong Wan in front of her with a meaningful expression.

"Then why give it to me?"

Fairy Miaoyin chuckled softly, causing the waves on her body to tremble continuously, "If there was only this longevity fruit, the ancestor would not have done so many things."

"The reason why we want to form an alliance with Luoyun Sect is because our ancestor discovered a secret place not far from Qianshi Peak, and inside it actually has a longevity fruit tree!"

"what!"

"So this wedding is just to hide the truth so that the ancestor can explore the secret realm in peace?"

Fairy Miaoyin smiled without saying anything, just looking at Nangong Wan in front of her, as if she wanted her to imagine it herself.

But in her heart she was thinking that this girl was really easy to fool. She accidentally learned from Master Bai that there was a longevity fruit among the gifts. The ancestor happened to be in seclusion now, so she found the relatively precious but useless longevity fruit among them to deceive Nangong Wan. Her ultimate goal was to get other gifts from Master Bai.

Master Bai really wanted to marry Nangong Wan, but Nangong Wan had always refused, so she had to trick her into getting the betrothal gift first. As for the rest, they would naturally not be a problem once she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

When Nangong Wan heard this, she suddenly felt uneasy, but she couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Okay, then I will attend the ceremony tomorrow. Please go back, senior sister." Nangong Wan wanted to go back and think carefully at this moment.

Fairy Miaoyin would never let Nangong Wan walk around freely. She came back this time to keep a close eye on her. After all, she took advantage of the ancestor's retreat recently to first seize old man Qiong's resources and then agreed to the wedding without permission, all for the purpose of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At this last moment, how could she let Nangong Wan move around freely, so Fairy Miaoyin decided to keep an eye on Nangong Wan until the end of the ceremony the next day, and then she would take the sect's resources and go out to form a baby.

When the demons attacked, she had an excuse to say it was the work of the Demon Sect.

"But why hasn't that damn girl come back yet? Did something happen at the Trial Peak?" Fairy Miaoyin thought with a frown.

"Forget it. There's no point in staring at that useless old man. Let's wait until the ceremony is over and the betrothal gifts are collected."

Nangong Wan thought it was troublesome when she saw that Fairy Miaoyin had no intention of leaving. However, she had no good solution for the time being and could only deal with Fairy Miaoyin in front of her.

Just like that, time flies by and the wedding is about to begin today.

Zhang Tie finally got the news from Nangong Wan, "Master, we should still be in time, let's go first."

Old Man Qiong nodded. After a few days of rest, his cultivation had recovered a little, and now he was able to exert his foundation-building skills.

The two walked out of the cave and found that there was no one on Floating Cloud Peak.

"Master, let's leave directly from the mountain gate. I remember that there should be quite a few independent cultivators attending the Welcoming Peak. We can take advantage of the chaos to leave."

Old Man Qiong nodded, then quickly headed towards the mountain gate.

The journey was quite peaceful. After all, most of the disciples had gone to attend the wedding, and there were only a few Qi training disciples stationed there to guard the mountain gate. This was not a problem for the two of them. "Not good!"

As soon as Zhang Tie arrived at Yingke Peak, he discovered something was wrong.

The Yanyue Sect’s mountain protection formation was actually activated.

Old Man Qiong also frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. The mountain protection formation was just in a simple state of activation before, with only exploration and some simple gathering of spirits and other functions. Now, all the formation functions such as sealing are activated. This situation is only possible if the enemy has attacked the mountain gate. Otherwise, it would be a waste of resources."

At the ceremony, Nangong Wan, who was wearing bridal makeup and looked bright and charming, was sitting quietly in the room, not knowing what she was thinking about.

There are dozens of temporary pavilions and caves placed on the shore of the lake, the two largest of which are prepared for Nangong Wan and "Master Bai".

In the middle of these pavilions, there is a huge stone platform covered with various lifelike statues, which are very beautiful.

On the huge stone platform, Master Bai, dressed in red, was looking at the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

He was really happy, these were all his prey!

"My fellow Taoists," an enchanting figure slowly walked up onto the stone platform. Fairy Miaoyin was also happy at this moment. She had already activated the sect's protective formation and also notified the demon cultivators. When the ceremony was over, she would be able to take advantage of the chaos to seize all the sect's resources and come back after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"The ancestor is in seclusion at the moment, so I will temporarily host today's ceremony and distribute the previous war resources to you all!"

Upon hearing this, True Man Xuesha felt a stir in his heart. If the Yuanying Patriarch didn't come, why would he get married? He just wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, kill Yuanying, and seize the Yanyue Sect.

Now that the protagonist is gone, he feels as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"Fairy Miaoyin, can the ancestor really not come? I admire the ancestor very much. Now that the ancestor is not coming, I feel like my wedding has lost its soul."

"Well, the ancestor did suddenly have an idea, and I hope Master Bai will forgive me." Miaoyin said with a smile. Now she was still thinking about betraying her own people, so how could she call the ancestor out.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Master Bai couldn't get angry just yet, so he had to retreat.

"Master, there seem to be other changes!"

As soon as Master Xuesha returned to the cave below the stage, he found Gaoshan waiting for him anxiously.

"Master! There have been changes in the sect!"

Master Xuesha was already irritable at the moment, and when he saw Gao Shan's irritable look, his anger immediately surged out, "Speak nicely to me!"

Then he kicked Gao Shan on the butt.

Gao Shan groaned, but did not dare to complain. He had to force himself to calm down. "Master, this is what happened. The sect just sent a message that the people of the Hehuan Sect broke the agreement for some reason and came to attack the Yanyue Sect. They are probably at the gate now."

"what!"

Blood Demon Master shouted loudly, "You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier about such an urgent matter!"

Then he kicked Gao Shan on the butt again, "Get out!"

Gao Shan looked innocent at the moment, "I got kicked for being anxious, and I got kicked for pretending to be calm. My calmness was in vain!"
