Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 627: Chapter 193: Slaying the Emperor, Fierce Battle with the Martial God

The Emperor’s wedding should have followed a complex and meticulous ceremonial process.

Under no circumstances would it include the Emperor personally paying a visit.

But the situation now is unusual, like an arrow on the string that must be released.

Once the Emperor completes the marriage, he will take away thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, then attack along the way, sweeping the chaotic social world, and then re-enter the Jade Capital.

Since the Emperor left the Jade Capital, it’s been controlled by the "Mountain Hall of the Five Elements Forces," "Celestial Master’s Mansion of the Daoist Court," and the "Marshal of the Hidden Dragon Path—Ying Shanxing."

The influence of Mountain Hall is located twenty miles south of Jade Capital.

The Celestial Master’s Mansion is within Jade Capital City, and even the previous National Preceptor was held by the Elder Celestial Master of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, but the Elder Celestial Master has been wandering the world and hasn’t appeared for a long time...

The Marshal of the Hidden Dragon Path was initially a leisure position, as its power was controlled by the Royal Family.

But facts proved that there are no foolish Commanders in the world.

This Marshal of the Hidden Dragon Path, when the Emperor fled, actually withheld those troops little by little, and later, when the Emperor "Northern Hunt" fled to the Desolate South Path, countless soldiers deserted, yet these numerous deserters were like scattered birds flying back into the "embrace" of the Marshal of the Hidden Dragon Path one by one.

The Emperor hated Mountain Hall, Celestial Master’s Mansion Daoist Court, and the Marshal of the Hidden Dragon Path; this time, he intends to sweep through the three forces, leaving none behind, then incorporate their heritage into his treasury, recreating an entirely new Mountain Hall and Celestial Master’s Mansion.

Da da da...

Da da...

Da...

The luxurious Nine Dragon Palace Carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Xie Mansion.

And the people of the Xie Mansion had long been waiting outside to welcome.

Interestingly, the Patriarch Xie Jian’an and his brothers were standing side by side as if there was no distinction between ranks.

Further behind was Li Yuan, the son-in-law, along with the various Chief Stewards of the house...

Standing at the forefront was the mysterious Ancestor of the Xie Family—Xie Shiheng.

This was an elder with white hair, sharp eyes, possessing the majesty of long-term high status, with a touch of indifference after experiencing vicissitudes...

The Emperor didn’t directly get off the carriage but Zhao Guyue went up to greet him.

The man in the big red funeral robe, with a sly and disgusting smile, cupped his hands towards the Ancestor of the Xie Family, saying: "Although we skip the cumbersome formalities, the simplest etiquette still must be observed... Just like a matchmaker in an ordinary family. Hehehe..."

He laughed sharply, causing those Stewards with less resistance to immediately break out in goosebumps, filled with an accumulated urge to vomit...

Xie Shiheng understood his meaning.

This is to prepare as an advance scout for the Emperor, to explore the Xie Family first since the Emperor’s grand wedding bridal room must be within the Xie Family.

So, he slightly bowed and said, "Xie Jiangui, accompany the Upper Envoy to tour the mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guyue pinched his orchid fingers, glancing around, sighed eerily, and said, "Alas, although my title as National Preceptor is just a name, it’s understandable if the Ancestor need not host me, but am I also unworthy of the Patriarch’s attention?"

Xie Shiheng suddenly moved aside, pointed backward, and laughed heartily, "National Preceptor, how could my Xie Family dare to do such?"

Zhao Guyue asked in odd curiosity, "What does this mean?"

Xie Shiheng replied, "Please, National Preceptor, identify which among them looks like the Patriarch."

Zhao Guyue responded with an enlightened "Oh," not refusing, with a smile full of interest, proceeded forward, "Interesting, interesting... let me take a closer look."

He approached one by one, his eyes scanning the five people in the front row, and finally landed on the one with the most spirit and imposing manner, saying, "It must be him."

Xie Shiheng laughed heartily, "This is Xie Jiangui." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Zhao Guyue was momentarily surprised, "He is not the Patriarch?"

Xie Shiheng added, "Jian’an, why aren’t you stepping out to greet the Upper Envoy?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

As the words fell, a listless man came out from beside those five individuals, bowed to Zhao Guyue, and said, "Xie Jian’an, greets the Upper Envoy."

Zhao Guyue returned the salute, his eyes rolling slightly, smilingly said, "Your Xie Family is quite interesting, but such matters are beyond me, so... let me go inside and have a look."

Xie Jiangui stepped forward proudly, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Upper Envoy, please!"

Zhao Guyue then entered with him, his eyes, filled with Yin Qi, swept over the people behind, suddenly resting on a man in white.

The man was elegant and outstanding, dressed in pure white, flawless from head to toe...

Standing there, though amidst the crowd, he seemed like a firefly in the night, like a crane among chickens.

Cold, proud, independent of the world.

Zhao Guyue asked, "Who is he?"

Xie Shiheng replied, "He is a son-in-law of my Xie Family, surnamed Ximen, named Gucheng."

Zhao Guyue said, "Few in the world are born like this..."

Then he added, "Mr. Ximen, could you come closer, let me have a look?"

Li Yuan complied and approached.

Zhao Guyue looked at this god-like man in front of him, feeling that scorching presence, no longer doubting, suddenly smiled, "Grand General Lü, here is indeed a uniquely talented person."

Not far away, beside the golden carriage, Lü Xuanxian raised his head and snorted arrogantly, but did not cast a glance, as if no one in the world was worthy of his gaze.

Zhao Guyue, feeling unsatisfied, entered the mansion with Xie Jiangui.

Much later...

Zhao Guyue slowly emerged, whispered a few words in front of the Golden Dragon Palace Carriage.

There was a moment of silence inside the carriage, and the Emperor gave a few more instructions.

Zhao Guyue said, "His Majesty says, today is an auspicious day, the grand wedding can be held tonight."

Xie Shiheng smiled and said, "The National Preceptor spoke truly, despite the lack of cumbersome formalities, simple rites must be observed."
