”Senior Su…”
This name passed through Wang Chong's mind.
Across the world, the only person able to kill so many top-class experts with a single attack was the God of the Sword and the Great Tang War God, Su Zhengchen.
Although Su Zhengchen had never admitted that Wang Chong was his disciple, Wang Chong already regarded him as his second master.
This was Wang Chong's wedding, and he was marrying the lady of the Xu Clan, Xu Qiqin. For such a grand occasion, Wang Chong would naturally invite Su Zhengchen.
But his status was too special for him to appear in front of so many people, so Wang Chong had allowed him to remain in the residence.
The attack just now was because Su Zhengchen had sensed that Wang Chong was in danger and acted to resolve the crisis.
”Who dares to harm my disciple!?” At this moment, there was another thunderous bellow, and then azure Origin Energy seethed in front of the gate to the estate.
Boom! A massive azure hand slammed down and crushed a few of the men in black who were trying to escape.
The anger infused in this palm endowed it with such strength that the earth groaned and trembled under its power.
”Run!”
Upon seeing this shocking sight, the surviving men in black paled and immediately scattered.
”Chong-er, are you okay?”
With a familiar voice of concern, the Demonic Emperor Old Man shot out of the crowd like a bolt of lightning and appeared in front of Wang Chong.
”Master, I'm fine.”
The arrival of his master allowed Wang Chong to relax and breathe a sigh of relief.
With his master present, the matter was truly settled.
A resounding call came from the distance. ”The bride has arrived!”
”Why is there another bride? What's going on?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but Wang Chong only smiled.
A few moments later, yet another bridal procession arrived. The same gilded sedan chair with the same emblems of the Xu Clan and the same bridal escorts dressed in red robes had appeared, identical to the last batch of people.
But when Wang Chong saw the Wushang Village Chief mounted on a brown stallion at the head of the procession, he smiled.
This was the real bridal procession.
The matter was not as complicated as it seemed, and with the arrival of the Wushang Village Chief and the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the mystery was revealed.
The men in black were truly audacious. They had disguised a group of assassins as the bridal procession while sending another group to ambush the real bridal procession and delay it. Using this opportunity, they had their assassins attack Wang Chong.
Fortunately, the Wushang Village Chief and the Demonic Emperor Old Man regarded Wang Chong's marriage with utmost importance, so the two were able to promptly arrive and resolve the crisis.
And though the entire incident had seemed very dangerous, the only ones injured were Wang Chong, Xu Keyi, and the other guards.
The battle in front of the Wang Family Residence was quickly cleaned up and the wedding continued. A festive air once more swept over the capital.
Wang Chong took the ceremonial weighing rod, raised the curtain, and then used the weighing rod to take Xu Qiqin's supple palm and lead her into the estate amidst heaven-shaking cheers.
Joyous music and cries of congratulations filled the sky, and the jubilant mood lasted from morning to nightfall. All of the capital was celebrating the marriage of this perfect couple.
This was truly the wedding of the century.
Deep in the night, when all was quiet, Wang Chong's room was brightly lit.
A sweet and comforting mood filled the air.
Amidst flickering red candlelight, Wang Chong, dressed in his red ceremonial robe, slowly extended the weighing rod and softly raised the red veil of his wife. The soft red silk dropped down, drifting across the snow-white hands.
A fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
In the light, Wang Chong finally saw the face of his lover.
This was the first time Wang Chong was seeing Xu Qiqin appear to him as his bride.
