Chapter 422 Wedding Thoughts, Bright Moon Sword! (First Update)
Grand View Garden, Lakeside Pavilion.

Taoist You was stroking his long snow-white beard with his skinny fingers, squinting at the blood mist surging in the center of the lake.

The fog was so thick that it could not be dispersed, wrapping the entire ship into a red ball like a cocoon.

“Master Yang, look at this,” he said in a hoarse voice with a hint of pride, “This Yin Sha will destroy the bones and flesh of ordinary people, not to mention ordinary people, even warriors who have cultivated their true essence will not be able to survive for more than a few dozen breaths…”

Zhao Yang clapped his hands and said, "Good, good, Taoist You has a good method."

After a while!
Taoist You stood up suddenly, staring at the lake with wide eyes, "Something is wrong, those people on this boat are probably tougher."

A sinister look flashed across Zhao Yang's eyes: "Master You, this young master only wants Xie Guan to die."

Taoist You's eyes turned cold, he glanced at Zhao Yang, and then gave up his murderous intent.

If he hadn't been concerned about the Zhao family... this dude would have long been used as material for his corpse refining.

He was actually wondering why a descendant of the nine major surnames had such corpse qi in his body that even he was a little worried about it, and it was almost seeping into his bones.

Is this really a strange thing?
The Zhao family doesn’t keep corpses.

"Don't worry, this matter is very important to the White Bone Temple. I have already hidden a great-grandmother of our temple under the water to prevent any accidents."

He rang the silver bell to urge.

I'm not worried about any accidents, because the grandmother of the White Bone Temple is a Yaksha. Even if she faces Xuandan, the ninth level of martial arts, she can escape from it.

What he was really worried about was that the noise would be too loud and cause displeasure to the Xie family. After all, today was a big wedding day.

At this very moment——

The blood mist in the center of the lake suddenly exploded with golden light! The light was like the scorching sun breaking through the clouds, and it turned the rainy sky into a golden color.

It disappeared in an instant!
The bronze bell in Taoist You's hand cracked into two pieces with a "crack". He suddenly covered his heart and spurted out large mouthfuls of black blood.

"No...impossible!"

The old Taoist stumbled to the railing, his dry claws leaving deep marks on the mahogany.

His whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his breath was rapidly weakening.

Taoist You's face was full of panic, and he completely ignored the injuries on his body.

The fate card is broken.

His life plate, which was connected to his grandmother's corpse by blood... was broken!
Then, he started crying like a child.

"It's all over. It's all over."

"Three hundred years of hard work... Grandma is gone, and the jade corpse is gone!"

When Zhao Yang saw this, he felt something was wrong and looked quickly into the lake.

Just see!
There was a young man with extraordinary temperament in the lake, walking to the shore with an umbrella.

"It's Xie Guan again!"

Zhao Yang gnashed his teeth, but he didn't connect the destruction of the corpse puppet with this bastard at all, "It must be those people on the boat who ruined my plans!"

Taoist You has become a little insane, his eyes are like those of dead fish. All his Taoist skills of the Bai Gu Temple are deposited on this corpse puppet.

The two corpse puppets were completely destroyed. He, a cultivator with a spiritual spirit who had ignited the divine fire, might not be able to defeat a warrior in the middle three realms.

His eyes were dazed and he sat down on the side, as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang snorted coldly and left the pavilion.

~

[You stepped onto the lake shore, and suddenly felt a sinister gaze piercing you.]

[Looking back, you see Zhao Yang glaring at you with gnashed teeth in the pavilion by the lake. His powdered donkey face is twisted with anger, like a hyena whose tail has been stepped on.]

[Behind him, a skinny old Taoist sat slumped on the ground, his body filled with disordered Yin energy—the aura that was the same as that of the corpse puppet explained everything.]

[No need to think too much, today's killing is clearly aimed at you. ]

【Because of you!】

[This Zhao Yang has repeatedly tried to kill you, and a hint of coldness flashed in your eyes.]

[The sky is clearing from the clouds, the drizzle has just stopped, and you close your bamboo umbrella. ]

[As soon as you stepped into the gate of Hongjing Courtyard, Xie Yuan came to greet you in a hurry.]

【Xie Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Guan, you are finally here."】

[“I thought something happened to you.”]

[You greeted everyone with a smile, "Is it okay to miss Sister Ying's auspicious time?"]

【Xie Yuan said, "We should go in right away."】

【You smile and nod to everyone. 】

[Xue Huaian and his group are coming ashore in a panic. Luo Susu's purple clothes are stained with blood, and Mei Qingsu's face is pale, not even a bit of her usual elegance.]

[“Huaian!” Xue Hong strode forward upon seeing this, frowned and pressed his second brother’s shoulder, “Huaian, what’s wrong? You look like this.”]

【“Who dares!”】

[Xue Huaian's Adam's apple rolled, and he caught a glimpse of you chatting and laughing with Xie Yuan. He finally turned his doubts into a sigh: "... Let's talk about it when we get back."]

【Xue Hong nodded solemnly.】

[A grand wedding ceremony was held in Hongjing Courtyard.]

[The red candles are shining brightly, and the house is filled with splendid things. ]

[The main hall is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and a golden-thread-embroidered "囍" is hung high. ]

[The guests came in droves, all dressed in fine clothes, and congratulations were heard one after another. 】

[Many dignitaries from the nine major families came. Old Lady Xie sat in the main seat, revealing a rare smile.]

[The host sang the ceremony loudly, drums and music played, and the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras lingered in the air. During the banquet, the guests toasted each other, and the delicacies were presented like water. The guests toasted each other and laughed loudly. ]

[You stand quietly outside the pillars, away from the banquets arranged according to rank, away from the crowd.] [Xie Yuan returned to his mother's side, Zhang Yunzhi came with his father, and Li Shuwan was next to his brother.]

[The Xie family will naturally not set up a seat for you, a bastard, so you can have some peace and quiet. ]

【But, even if you are alone. 】

[Countless eyes were drawn to him like spider silk—Mrs. Zhao's undisguised vicious eyes, Mrs. Yuan's disdainful expression, the anger of the children from the Second Courtyard, the gloating of the children from the First Courtyard... and the inquiring eyes of many families, as if they were sizing up a rare commodity, and so on.]

【But you didn't care at all, just staring at the center of the wedding hall. 】

[When Sima Ting lifted the red veil with a wedding scale, Xie Ying's shy and timid eyes were filled with happiness.]

[At this moment, the lights in the hall were reflected, and cheers rang out, "The ceremony of the newlyweds is over."]

[A silent smile appeared on your lips. ]

[If my mother were still alive, she would definitely cry when she saw this. She was just a maid in the Xie family, and what she looked forward to most was to be married to that man. Even if the dowry was simple, she would be happy.]

[When my mother was seriously ill, she took out the red veil from the cabinet at night.]

[My fourth sister told me that my mother could have aborted the child, but the old lady gave her a large sum of money to settle down and buy a house outside.]

[Mrs. Yuan was giving instructions at the side, and most people in the mansion had such cold eyes.]

[You don't know what that weak woman thought about that night, she was so stubborn that she wanted to give birth to the child.]

[At the banquet, there was a great buzz of people, and guests came one after another to congratulate. Xie Yuan and other favored children were all rewarded with wedding money, and they were all smiling with joy.]

[The old lady also had a happy face and a kind look. ]

[Xie Ying's eyes passed through the crowd of people, searching everywhere, and finally fell on the figure in the corner. Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the wedding veil, but it was gently held by a warm big hand——]

[“Ying’er.” Sima Ting said softly, “You are my Sima Ting’s married wife, so there is no need to worry about the consequences. Go ahead.”]

【Xie Yingliu's eyes turned slightly red.】

[“Guan Di——”]

[This clear call was like a stone falling into water, and the laughter in the room suddenly stopped. The old lady's face gradually became gloomy, and Mrs. Zhao's eyes were as cold as ice.]

[You walked out slowly, and Xie Ying smiled and stuffed a envelope of wedding money into your hand.]

[“Brother Guan, this is for you. It’s for your good luck.”]

[“Fourth sister knows your ability and is just waiting for you to become famous.”]

[You slowly took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Fourth Sister."]

[Sima Ting stood aside with a complicated look in his eyes.]

[When the banquet was in full swing, you quietly left the table and walked out of Hongjing Courtyard.]

[It is drizzling again, and you hold up your bamboo umbrella. ]

[A beautiful figure chases after me, holding up her skirt. ]

【Zhang Yunzhi comes behind you and says in a low voice, "Master Guan, please wait a moment."】

[You seem somewhat confused.]

[The two figures stood quietly. ]

【Soon!】

[The rain falls on the lakeside, forming ripples in the lake.]

[Only Zhang Yunzhi was left, feeling somewhat lost.]

[You hold up your umbrella and leave again. A small boat quietly docks and you have stepped onto the side of the boat.]

[The old boatman gently rowed the oars, and with a creaking sound, he broke up the mist and rain on the lake and cut a path through the turbulent waters.]

[You suddenly feel something, and you look sideways towards the small pavilion in the distance. ]

[A tall and thin old Taoist has a fierce look in his eyes and shakes a silver bell in his hand, making a sharp and piercing sound.]

[A chilly wind with a foul stench blew towards us. There seemed to be a dark shadow swimming at the bottom of the lake, hiding a corpse puppet with a much lower cultivation level.]

[The Taoist priest of the White Bone Temple knows that the disaster today was caused by you.]

[The Taoist You’s withered fingers almost crushed the silver bell, his eyes boiling with hatred—the two corpse puppets that took a hundred years of hard work were destroyed in an instant, all because of this seemingly weak young man in front of him!]

[The people he just met are from the Xue family, one of the nine major surnames. He cannot afford to provoke them.]

[But you, a bastard, even if he kills you, he can still get the thing, which is considered a way to remedy the situation.]

[“Little bastard…” Black blood seeped out from between his teeth, and the sound of the bell suddenly became shrill, “Today I will use your corpse as a sacrifice to my White Bone Temple.”]

【The boatman only felt a gust of cold wind. 】

[You looked up from under the umbrella and shook your head. You were feeling unhappy at the moment.]

[Inside the Niwan Palace, the long-silent sword that slays ghosts suddenly chimed, emitting a cold light like the moonlight—this sword is specifically designed to defeat evil spirits, and when it appears, it has no color or shape, and only those who are able to see through the dark can see its shape.]

[He puts his fingers together like a sword and draws it lightly forward——]

[An illusory giant sword slashed out from the lake.]

[Others couldn’t see it, but in You Daoren’s suddenly shrinking pupils, a sword light as bright as the bright moon slowly slashed out from the shimmering lake surface. Before the sword reached him, his flesh and blood began to peel off bit by bit, and his soul was almost torn apart. He didn’t even have a way to resist!]

【As brilliant as the sun and the moon!】

[A corpse puppet at the bottom of the lake burned up in the water without even showing up.]

[The last bit of consciousness in Daoist You's heart collapsed, "Zhao Yang, fuck it!"]

[“Who on earth did you offend…”]

【Then he fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.】

[The boat slowly docked at the shore, and you left with an umbrella. ]
