Free Web NovelChapter 1546: The Day of the Grand Wedding
"Void Eye Vilz, at your service!"
A slightly deep voice sounded. From the crack in the void, a massive head slowly pushed its way out. The entire head was almost nothing but a single enormous vertical eye. Eight thick tentacles writhed continuously, lifting the giant head high into the air, more than three zhang tall.
Ling Feng raised his head and examined the Void Eye creature.
According to Ke Weili, the strength of a summoned creature was usually related to the summoner's own power. The purer the bloodline of the Gulandor clan, or the higher the phase of the Void Eye, the stronger the void beings that could be summoned would become.
This Void Eye seemed to possess strength at the Great Emperor level. As for how strong it truly was, that would have to be determined through actual combat.
After all, the power of void beings was very different from that of humans. However, one thing was certain. This Void Eye would definitely become another great asset to him.
What pleased him even more was that, perhaps because of the massive infusion of ancient demon power, he felt that his physique had undergone some kind of special change. It seemed that through cultivation, he would be able to continuously raise the grade of his Void Eye.
Ling Feng already felt a faint sense of anticipation. If one day he could summon a gigantic creature like Eboregth and charge into the Immortal Domain, beating those so called Immortals until they fled in panic, just thinking about it felt satisfying.
That would definitely feel great.
"Go back, Vilz."
Ling Feng snapped his fingers lightly. Vilz immediately shrank back into the void crack and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"The first phase of the Void Eye summons Void Touch. The second phase summons Void Spirits. Vilz is clearly not a simple Void Spirit, which means my Void Eye has probably reached at least the third phase. I wonder if Vilz is already the strongest void being I can summon."
Since it was a summoning, there was always some randomness involved. Only devil pets that had signed a pact could be summoned at will every time.
Although Vilz was not weak, Ling Feng did not plan to sign a pact with it yet. After all, the Void Eye could only form one pact with a void being each time it advanced a phase. Who knew when the next phase breakthrough would happen. It was better not to waste the chance carelessly. If luck was on his side, he might even summon a Great Saint level void being next time.
"This trip has been quite rewarding. Yan Jinghong, I suppose I should thank you for making me come to the Demon Domain."
A cold glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and there was clearly no real gratitude in his heart.
Now that the power of the Great Demon Pill was exhausted, the only way to leave this cursed place was to use the Realm Piercing Shuttle.
"I hope there is still time. Miss Yue, wait for me. I am coming to save you."
Ling Feng took a deep breath and summoned the Realm Piercing Shuttle. Even in the Immortal Domain, the shuttle was an extremely rare treasure. After approaching the stargate that led toward the human world, it quickly locked onto a spatial passage.
In an instant, Ling Feng piloted the Realm Piercing Shuttle and entered the void passage.
His vision went completely dark, and he had no idea where the other end would lead.
After all, the Xuanling Continent was incredibly vast. If he ended up in some distant corner of the continent, returning to the Tianbai Empire would not be easy.
...
While Ling Feng hurried back toward the Tianbai Empire, the imperial city of the Tianbai Empire was filled with lanterns and decorations. Everywhere was brightly decorated as if preparing for a grand wedding.
Regent Yan Jinghong was marrying Yue Yunlan, the daughter of the former sect leader of the Divine Guardian Sect. This was undoubtedly a shocking event in the imperial capital.
Three days had passed since Ling Feng fell into the Seven Emotions Demon Domain.
Today was the day Yan Jinghong married Yue Yunlan.
Now, the imperial power of the Tianbai royal family was already firmly in the hands of the Yan family. Although Yan Jinghong held the title of Regent, he was in truth an uncrowned emperor. The Fourth Prince, Mo Yan, was nothing more than a puppet.
Mo Yan had once been an ambitious and formidable figure, but now he did not dare to disobey Yan Jinghong in the slightest.
He understood very clearly that if he obeyed Yan Jinghong, he could continue to be a puppet emperor. But if he disobeyed, that demon would kill him without hesitation.
After all, the royal family never lacked princes. The Yan family could simply pick another descendant of the Mo family to replace him as their puppet.
So even though Mo Yan hated Yan Jinghong to the bone, he could only keep a flattering smile on his face like a lapdog, constantly trying to please Yan Jinghong just to keep his position as puppet emperor.
If even the ruler of the nation was like this, the civil and military officials naturally feared Yan Jinghong even more.
In just one month, Yan Jinghong had suppressed all opposition. In the royal court, there was no longer a single voice against him. Recently, even the Tianmang Fortress in Nanjiang seemed to fear Yan Jinghong's power and stayed on the defensive, not daring to send troops into battle.
In the eyes of the ministers, the Tianbai royal family was already doomed.
On this day of the Regent's grand wedding, all the officials presented lavish gifts, and the entire nation celebrated. The scale of the celebration was even greater than when an emperor married his empress.
At the same time, inside the palace.
Yue Yunlan sat quietly in front of a luxurious dressing table. She looked at the stunning woman in the mirror, dressed in a phoenix crown and red bridal robes, yet her brows were tightly knit and her face was full of sorrow.
More than a dozen palace maids stood around her, serving carefully, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
"Miss..."
Qiao Qiao bit her lip while holding a jade comb. As she slowly combed Yue Yunlan's hair, she spoke softly, "Do you really have to do this? Why don't we run away? There are only a few palace maids here. We could knock them out..."
"We might be able to escape, but can Father escape? Can Mother escape?"
A faint shimmer of tears appeared in Yue Yunlan's eyes as she slowly shook her head.
"Forget it, Qiao Qiao. If sacrificing myself can bring peace to the Cangqiong Sect, I will not regret it. It's just..."
She silently added the rest in her heart. Perhaps he really would not come back. Maybe that was for the best. At least he would be safe.
"Miss, I... I..."
Large tears rolled down Qiao Qiao's cheeks.
"Miss, you clearly like that big idiot! That stupid Ling Feng. Isn't he very powerful? Why isn't he coming to save you this time? Wuu..."
"Alright, Qiao Qiao, you must not say that. He probably does not even know about any of this. He already went to the Dongling Immortal Pool. That is the world where he belongs. I am just an insignificant passerby in his life. Besides, Mr. Ling has already helped me so much."
Yue Yunlan smiled faintly and gently wiped the tears from Qiao Qiao's face.
"Don't cry, silly girl. I am the one getting married, and I am not even crying."
"I... I just can't help it... wuu..."
Qiao Qiao looked at Yue Yunlan in front of her. Although Yue Yunlan was her mistress and she was only a maid, Yue Yunlan had never treated her like a servant since they were young. There would never be another mistress as kind as her.
