The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1548: Ling Feng Appears

After entering the grand hall, Yue Yunlan's gaze swept across the gathered officials, but she did not see her father Yue Zhonglian anywhere. She could not help frowning.

"Yan Jinghong, you said that as long as I married you, you would release my father. Where is he now? And my mother, where did you take her?"

Yue Yunlan stopped walking. Until she confirmed her parents were safe, she would never complete the wedding ceremony with Yan Jinghong.

Otherwise, once the ceremony was completed, she would lose all leverage to negotiate with him.

"Heh..."

Yan Jinghong smiled faintly and leaned close to Yue Yunlan's ear as he spoke softly. "Didn't I tell you that your father was rescued three days ago by a little thief named Ling Feng?"

"What? My father... my father..."

A trace of joy flashed through Yue Yunlan's eyes. Ling Feng had returned. He really had come back, and he had even rescued her father.

"You're very happy, aren't you?"

Yan Jinghong placed his hand on Yue Yunlan's shoulder and said slowly, "But you may be celebrating too early. Whether it's your father or that little thief Ling Feng, they have probably already died in some foreign land. You will never see them again in this lifetime."

"What did you say!"

Yue Yunlan's body stiffened as she stared at Yan Jinghong, anger rising in her eyes.

"You still don't understand?" Yan Jinghong shrugged lazily. "Then let me put it simply. They are both dead."

"You... Yan Jinghong! You lied to me!"

Yue Yunlan immediately became agitated. She gritted her teeth and struck a fierce palm toward Yan Jinghong.

"You are about to become my Regent Princess. Why would I lie to you? Hahaha..."

Yan Jinghong sidestepped easily and avoided her attack. Then he casually tapped her left shoulder, sealing her acupoints. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, stop making trouble. Everyone is waiting."

After her acupoints were sealed, Yue Yunlan could not move at all. She could only walk slowly behind Yan Jinghong while being supported by two maids.

"Miss, Miss!"

When Qiao Qiao saw Yue Yunlan being restrained, she tried to rush forward to help, but two palace maids grabbed her from behind and restrained her tightly. They even stuffed a cloth into her mouth.

At the Regent's wedding, how could they allow a mere maid to cause trouble.

The ministers saw everything, yet all of them chose to pretend they saw nothing. They continued offering congratulations and did not dare say a single word.

"The Grand Empress Dowager has arrived!"

At that moment, the sound of carriages was heard again. The officiant of this wedding had arrived. She was the former Empress Dowager, now the Grand Empress Dowager, Yan Ning.

With Yan Ning's status in the Yan family, even Yan Jinghong had to call her grandmother. It was only fitting for her to officiate the wedding.

Everyone turned to look. Each time they saw the face of the woman who had once been known as the most beautiful woman in the empire, they could not help but sigh. Time seemed to have left no trace on her at all.

Beside the Grand Empress Dowager, Yan Shuying followed closely as always. Under the respectful greetings of the ministers, the Grand Empress Dowager entered Zhengyang Hall.

"Heh, the Grand Empress Dowager has arrived. Please take the main seat."

Yan Jinghong's expression was cold. There was no warmth left in him at all. He simply invited the Grand Empress Dowager to the main seat and did not exchange any further pleasantries.

"Hmph, Jinghong has become more and more cold. In the past, he would at least call me cousin when he saw me. He also used to respect Grandmother Empress Dowager very much."

Yan Shuying bit her lip lightly. It was true that Yan Jinghong had brought the Yan family to an unimaginable peak and made them the number one clan in the Tianbai Empire, but there was no longer any sense of family affection left in him.

"Alright, Shuying. Today is Jinghong's wedding day. Do not complain."

Yan Ning took a deep breath, yet she felt a faint unease in her heart. Perhaps Yan Cangtian was right and Yan Jinghong had truly fallen completely into the demonic path.

The Yan family had risen because of Yan Jinghong, but perhaps one day they would also be destroyed because of him.

She only hoped that day would come as late as possible.

At least, she hoped she would not live to see that day.

With the officiant present, the wedding ceremony was finally about to begin.

Yan Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back. There was no emotion in his eyes at all. The wedding proceeding so smoothly actually made him feel somewhat bored.

After the master of ceremonies finished a long and complicated speech, he finally shouted loudly, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Yan Jinghong slowly turned around and faced outside the hall.

Yue Yunlan was also forced to turn around by two maids and stand beside Yan Jinghong.

However, at that moment, the sky outside the grand hall suddenly became unusually dark. The clouds in the sky churned violently and gathered into an enormous vortex.

Faintly, within the clouds, Yan Jinghong seemed to see the bow of a massive ship. On the bow stood a lone figure.

"Yan Jinghong, with the relationship between us, how could you not invite me to your wedding? Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

Thunder roared across the sky. The massive flying vessel broke through the clouds, and Ling Feng leaped down from the Realm Piercing Shuttle. With a thunderous crash, he smashed straight through the roof of Zhengyang Hall, leaving a huge hole.

As the dust slowly settled, a young man in white robes stood calmly with his hands behind his back. A faint ring of fire light surrounded him, keeping all the dust and debris away from his body.

If this white robed youth was not Ling Feng, then who else could it be?

"It's Ling Feng!"

Back when Ling Feng challenged the Royal Sword Team, he had already shocked the entire court. Very few people present did not recognize him.

Now Ling Feng had appeared in such a dramatic fashion, crashing into the wedding hall. The aura radiating from him was not weaker than Yan Jinghong's at all.

The ministers all retreated far away. Everyone could already sense that what would happen next would likely be a world shaking battle.

"Mr. Ling!"

The moment Yue Yunlan saw Ling Feng, she felt as if she were dreaming.

If this really was a dream, then she hoped she would never wake up.

"It's that brat. Damn it!"

Yan Shuying stood beside the Grand Empress Dowager. When she saw Ling Feng appear, she clenched her fists. There were still many unresolved grudges between her and Ling Feng.

Yan Ning narrowed her eyes slightly.

Perhaps Ling Feng was the source of the unease she had been feeling.

"Ling Feng, so you still managed to come out of the Demon Domain. You are just a little later than I expected. Well then, would you like a cup of wedding wine first?"

Yan Jinghong looked at Ling Feng. His expression showed little surprise at his appearance.

Ling Feng glanced at Yue Yunlan and saw that she only looked somewhat weak. He felt slightly relieved. Then he fixed his gaze on Yan Jinghong and said coldly, "Enough nonsense, Yan Jinghong. If you still have the pride of a martial artist, then come outside and fight me."
