It turns out, they were the main characters.

The moment the words fell, the creatures in the darkness stirred, and then a figure emerged from the shadows, his eyes filled with even greater coldness, and sped toward the girl in the purple dress.

boom!

The next moment, a sharp claw, like a blade, emerged from behind Ye Lingxuan, grabbed the creature, and crushed it into dust.

"Someone from the restricted area?!"

The man in the black robe felt his heart pounding, realizing something was wrong, and turned to flee.

"If I remember correctly, you are from the royal family of Dongzhou, right?"

"Wang Teng, the eldest son of the Wang family?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

Another forbidden creature behind her indifferently looked down at the creatures on the ground, its body crackling with lightning, seemingly ready to pounce.

Seeing that the ancient creatures within the forbidden zone were about to make their move, Wang Teng's eyelids twitched violently. He immediately reacted and said urgently, "Miss Ye, please wait! I am only acting on orders from the clan elders to jointly protect the safety of Yaochi—"

Before he could finish speaking, his spiritual consciousness was crushed to dust by the Kunpeng.

Ye Lingxuan tilted her head slightly, looked at the Southern Wilderness Evil God beside Wang Teng who was already showing signs of retreat, and said with a light smile: "Actually, you don't need to explain so much, nor do you need to mention the Wang family or other ancient families to make me wary."

She turned her back and gracefully bowed to the two forbidden creatures behind her.

In the Jade Pool, screams and splattering blood echoed from the shadows.

“From the moment you became his enemy, your identities ceased to matter.”

Chapter 391 The Ascension Tribulation Descends (5K)

Deep in the southern wilderness.

"Have you asked Regina yet?"

Inside the Sky Palace, the Sky God with a hundred eyes gazed at the elders below and asked in a calm tone.

The Grand Elder below the stage knelt respectfully and said, "The Holy Maiden said she does not want to return for the time being and plans to train in the Eastern Continent for two years."

The God of the Sky looked cold and ruthless, and said in a low voice, "Although Xueyi has not yet been found, we cannot leave such an important doll in the Eastern Continent. Have someone bring her back to the Southern Wilderness."

The Grand Elder of the Southern Wilderness raised his hand in a bow: "I have made preparations in advance. Taking advantage of the large number of people and eyes at the Azure Emperor's wedding, I have ordered the Southern Wilderness cultivators who remained in the Eastern Continent to bring Regina back to the Southern Wilderness."

"The wedding...what a foolish and stupid woman."

The God of the Sky sneered: "She has been a Dao Integration cultivator for at least ten thousand years, yet she was bewitched by a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old cultivator and even married him. Has her brain become corrupted after a thousand years in the Pilgrimage Temple?"

“Once you find the key to the Jade Pool's formation, even if the Azure Emperor truly reaches the threshold of ascension, you can still intervene when she undergoes her tribulation, and at that time…” The First Elder’s face held a more meaningful expression.

The God of the Sky chuckled softly, closed his eyes, and the shadow beneath his feet began to twist silently.

……

Yaochi Sacred Land.

"Things at Yaochi should be sorted out soon. I wonder how things are going with Brother Mu..."

Ye Lingxuan looked around at the commotion in Yaochi and couldn't help but sigh softly, her tone filled with worry.

She wasn't worried about the internal strife in Yaochi, because it was something that had been planned from the beginning. But if the Azure Emperor's wedding really went ahead...

Imagining her beloved Mu-gege transforming from a boy into a married man, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but gently shake her head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

It shouldn't be that bad... This is all part of the plan. The Azure Emperor's real purpose is probably to ascend to immortality and eliminate internal troubles. The grand wedding is just a facade...

"It seems there's nothing I need to do here."

Behind me, a familiar, cool voice came.

A beautiful woman in a gorgeous moon-white dress stood behind Ye Lingxuan, her demeanor as aloof and cold as ever.

"How is things going on with Senior Sister?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

Lan Mulian smiled brightly: "Chief Yi has already ordered the sect disciples to clean it up."

This woman always seemed so composed, and at this moment, she proudly displayed her 36D breasts, complementing Ye Lingxuan beside her.

The Liangyi Sect should not have interfered in this matter, but if external forces infiltrate the Eastern Continent, the situation will be completely different.

One of the reasons the Ryougi sect members attended this wedding was to confirm certain things.

It now seems that the Eastern Continent still has internal troubles that were not completely eradicated from the forbidden zone. After those people discovered that the Azure Emperor had reached the Feather Transformation Realm, the people behind him became anxious and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure in the short term, wanting to find the array core of Yaochi as soon as possible and break the array.

Ye Lingxuan's face gradually changed from elegant to worried, and she said softly, "I wonder how Brother Mu is doing..."

Lan Mulian said softly, "With the Azure Emperor here, everything will be alright."

Ye Lingxuan glanced at her senior sister and said quietly, "It's only because the Azure Emperor is around that things have to go wrong."

Lan Mulian was taken aback, then pursed her lips and fell silent.

That makes sense; with the Azure Emperor around, I can't feel at ease...

Perhaps the Azure Emperor has a very good image in the eyes of the world, but those who know her well know that this fairy is obviously black when she is cut open.

"Don't worry, the Azure Emperor isn't by his side."

At that moment, the Reincarnated Empress suddenly said something.

The two of them were stunned almost simultaneously.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean by that? Isn't she getting married to Brother Mu now?"

"The one currently marrying Mu Zhian is a wisp of the Azure Emperor's spirit; her true form is not in the Holy King City," said the Reincarnated Empress.

"And Mu Zhian's true form... wasn't at the wedding ceremony either."

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had already thought of something, and she subconsciously asked, "Where is the Azure Emperor now?"

The reincarnated empress remained silent, gazing towards the direction of the ancestral land of Yaochi.

At that moment, the two of them already had the answer in their hearts.

She is undergoing tribulation, intending to break through to the Feather Transformation Realm!

"What about Brother Mu?" Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked.

The reincarnated empress, dressed in a loose white robe, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. I can't sense his presence now; he may have already left the city."

"Leave this place to me, you all go find him."

At this moment, a deafening voice, like thunder, echoed from the Jade Pool, as if a true thunder god had descended to earth. Every word he uttered stirred up lightning, shaking people's hearts.

Ye Lingxuan bowed to the two of them, and then, pulled by the Lock of Desolate Time, immediately turned and left the Yaochi Holy Land, with Lan Mulian following closely behind.

……

In the Holy King City, everyone was watching the stunningly beautiful woman dressed in fiery red on the seemingly heavenly high platform.

At this moment, countless eyes were focused on the wedding, seemingly unaware that Mu Zhian, standing on the high platform, appeared to have no self-awareness whatsoever.

After receiving the blessing of the 'Lin' character script, Yao Meng's Pure World Green Lotus gave birth to lotus seeds. Each lotus seed could transform into a human form. Moreover, for a powerful being in the Dao Integration Realm, creating a temporary puppet without consciousness was not a difficult task.

"Even though it's just puppets getting married on stage right now, if we actually get married in the end, everyone will still think Yao Meng and I are husband and wife. No matter what, I've already lost everything..."

At this very moment, Mu Zhian was flying over mountains and valleys on his sword, his eyes searching the mountains near the Yaochi Holy Land, while he sighed to himself in his heart.

The price Young Master Mu paid for achieving the Ascension Realm was far greater than anyone imagined... After all, the world was watching this grand wedding, and no matter what, he would probably be locked up in a dark room afterward.

But regardless, he's done most of what he can do now; the rest depends on Yao Meng...

As Mu Zhian thought of this, his gaze fell in the direction of a certain mountain range.

He could sense that Regina's spiritual energy was faintly present there, and that she was fighting someone.

"It seems my guess was right. Southern Wilderness has always used Regina as a pawn..."

Once they discovered that Regina had escaped their control, they tried every means to bring her back to the Southern Wilderness so that they could control her more easily.

"I can sense that Ruoxi and the others seem to have come over as well."

Mu Zhian muttered to himself, then turned to look at the shadows behind him and said, "Sister Mengrou, let's hurry up and get there first, or we'll mess things up."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Regina is the perfect friend right now.

In the shadows, Wei Mengrou remained calm, gave a soft "hmm," and followed her young master, rapidly heading towards the mountains not far ahead.

……

boom!

A deafening roar echoed from beneath the gloomy sky, and in the heavens, a vast tribulation of lightning silently enveloped the entire ancestral land of Yaochi.

Faintly, a wisp of pale white light seemed to be shining in the sky.

The will of Heaven!

Yao Meng stood barefoot in mid-air, her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind. Her clear, emerald-green eyes looked down at all the creatures on the ground, then glanced in the direction of Holy King City, a faint smile curving her lips.

The wedding is probably already underway in Holy King City.

In front of countless witnesses.

However, whether or not he gets married is not important, since even if he does get married, he still has several people he likes.

...In fact, things become more interesting precisely because he has several Daoist partners by his side.

Gong Lianyue, Ye Lingxuan, and the Primordial Demoness... No matter who they are, after they ascend to immortality today, wouldn't it be easy to take them back to Yaochi in the future?

The terrifying spiritual energy between heaven and earth was silently drawn by Yao Meng, and even the rules of heaven and earth were subtly affected by her, causing the spiritual energy of the entire Yaochi Ancestral Land to become extremely turbulent.

If any cultivator were to rashly approach the ancestral land at this moment, they would likely be annihilated into ashes by the restless spiritual energy before even setting foot inside.

However, from the outside, there is absolutely no indication of any changes in the ancestral land.

This was the formation she had prepared half a month ago. Although it couldn't last until the end, it could at least keep her ascension tribulation from being noticed for a short period of time.

"Wait for me... and my little dark room is waiting for you too."

Yao Meng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The Pure Lotus behind her bloomed like a peacock spreading its tail, and a golden light quietly shone on her body, illuminating her pure and beautiful face. Her hair, shrouded in the golden light, swayed in the wind like golden hair, with the ends falling to her hips.

boom!

In the sky, the white radiance enveloped the ancestral land of Yaochi.

For a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still throughout the entire Nine Provinces. The couple getting married on the stage, the countless cultivators below, and even cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces all turned gray in an instant.
