C40 (1/2)
Wu Du, the two immortals were battling.
After experiencing this earth-shattering scene, even though night had fallen, Wu Dai was still like an excited beast, with no intention of sleeping.
On the main street, the crowd bustled with discussion, and sounds of clamoring unceasingly rang out from the teahouses and restaurants.
The crowd couldn't help but look in the direction of the imperial palace, their eyes full of happiness.
Tonight, the banquet for Wu Yu was being held in the 'Sky Wu Palace'. This was the highest standard of welcome since the founding of the Eastern Yue Wu Country. Because the main characters were the deities and the emperors of the mortal world, most of the maids who poured wine and set up the banquet had chosen the most stunning looks, and most of them even had martial arts skills.
After Wu Yu arrived, Xi Fei, Yuan Hao, and the others stood up to greet him. It had been a long time since they had come so close to him, and his gaze would occasionally fall on the enchanting woman beside him, whose heart was filled with snakes and scorpions. It was fortunate that he had a mask on, otherwise, they would have seen Wu Yu's cold face.
Wu Yu didn't listen to the rest of the introductions. After all, he was familiar with everything about the East Wu. The Tianwu Palace had come many times, but they were once the master and now were the guests.
Strangely, the main table in the most central position today was actually empty. Grand Immortal Haotian and Yuan Chen were on both sides of the table, while the Empress and Yuan Hao were even lower. In addition to the four of them, there was another person present. That was Princess Wuyou, whom Wu Yu had been thinking about day and night. She was sitting in a corner, looking down at the table with a calm expression.
With her by his side, Wu Yu felt more at ease in his heart, no matter what saber lights or bloody shadows he saw tonight. This was a habit he had formed since he was young. She was a safe sister.
Haotian raised his cup and said: ”Old Brother, this humble Taoist will introduce you.” As he spoke, he introduced the empress dowager, the emperor, Yuan Hao, and Princess Wuyou. When he spoke of Princess Wuyou, Wu You nodded at Wu Yu, his eyes meeting hers.
Compared to the past, her eyes were dimmer, but they were the window to her soul. In that moment, Wu Yu noticed the sudden change in her expression and knew that she was suspicious of his identity, so he quickly shifted his gaze away. He didn't want Princess Wuyou to recognize him on this occasion.
When Princess Wuyou was mentioned, Emperor Yuan Hao suddenly smiled and said, ”Great Immortal Sun, it's not only you. In a few days, I, Wu Du, will have more guests. Furthermore, they are people of noble status.”
Yuan Hao had always been eager to show off his skills since he was young. However, he had always been suppressed by Wu Yu. He had not spoken for such a long time. He was probably feeling extremely stifled.
”Oh, could it be that someone is fighting with me for the position of Imperial Protector?” Wu Yu's gaze pierced through the demon monkey mask and pierced into Emperor Yuan Hao's eyes, instantly causing the latter to feel a terrifying pressure.
”That is... That was … Do you know of the Eastern Divine Kingdom of the East Sea? This is a joyous event between me and the Eastern Divine Kingdom. Then, the king of the Eastern Divine Kingdom, will soon marry our Princess Wuyou as her wife and establish her as the empress of the Eastern Divine Kingdom. In a few days, she will come to the Wu Capital to get married.
Crack!
The golden wine cup in Wu Yu's hand was instantly crushed into a golden paste.
To tell the truth, after Wu Yu heard the news, he had the urge to first smash Yuan Hao into meat paste with the Demon Subduing Rod.
First of all, this was clearly a political marriage, and second of all, the Eastern Divine Kingdom's Sovereign King, Wu Yu, was extremely familiar with it. His army had once resisted this pirate from the East China Sea, and that Nine Annihilations Monarch was a demon that killed people without blinking an eye, and the number of wronged souls under his command was estimated to be hundreds of thousands.
This group of robbers had directly cut off all routes to commerce in the Donwu Sea, and they even went ashore from time to time to kill and rob.
Wu Yu once swore that after he ascended the throne, he would destroy this group of bandits. Unexpectedly, upon their return this time, Haotian and the others actually betrothed Princess Wuyou to the Nine-Healing King. It was obvious that they were sending Wu You to a fiery pit.
Fury!
However, there was another voice in his heart that made Wu Yu suppress his fury.
That was reason.
”Anyway, I came back in time. Big Sister hasn't even married into the Eastern Divine Kingdom, much less come into contact with the Nine Annihilations Monarch. Something hasn't happened yet. ”
If he came back too late, he reckoned that he would have killed his way into the Eastern Divine Kingdom by now.
Since nothing had happened, now was the time to not let his anger submerge his rationality. Now that Clear Sky Immortal was more powerful than him, if he did not deal with it well and his identity was exposed, not only would his life be in danger, even Wu You would be unable to escape his fate of suffering.
Once it was related to Wu You's fate, then he couldn't act carelessly.
”Grand Immortal Sun?” When Clear Sky Immortal saw Wu Yu break the wine cup, he naturally had doubts in his heart.
Wu Yu knew that he couldn't show it, so he thought for a moment and recalled the contents of the 'Eastern Victory Divine Continent'. He then coldly said, ”This so-called Eastern Divine Kingdom should be a newly established country. ”As far as I know, the East Sea is the territory of the 'Ghost Cultivators'. This State Protector couldn't be a Ghost Cultivator, right?”
Ghost Cultivator.
Wu Yu understood from the Eastern Victory Divine Continent that spectral cultivators were the third largest power apart from cultivators and demons.
There was a saying that said there were five bugs in total for all living things in this world. There are five kinds of insects: Divider worm, Feather worm, Caterpillar worm, Scaled worm and Mesopotamian worm. Ying insects were just mortals, the other four were flying birds, animals, fish, and insects.
