Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1548: Chapter 1549: Ling Feng Appears! (3rd Update)

Upon entering the hall, Yue Yunlan scanned the crowd of ministers but did not see her father, Yue Zhonglian, among them, her brow furrowing in concern.

”Yaan Jinghong, didn’t you say that as long as I marry you, you would release my father? Where is he now? And my mother, where have you taken her?”

Yue Yunlan halted her steps; without confirming her parents’ safety, she would never bow to the heavens with Yaan Jinghong.

Otherwise, once the wedding is completed, she would lose any leverage to negotiate with Yaan Jinghong.

”Hehe...”

Yaan Jinghong gave a faint smile, leaned closer to Yue Yunlan’s ear, and whispered, ”Didn’t I tell you? Uncle Yue was rescued three days ago by a little thief called Ling Feng.”

”What, my father... my father he...”

A glimmer of joy flashed in Yue Yunlan’s eyes; Ling Feng had returned, he really had returned and even rescued her father.

”Happy, aren’t you?”

Yaan Jinghong pressed onto Yue Yunlan’s shoulder, speaking slowly, ”But you may be happy too soon, because whether it’s your father or that little thief Ling Feng, they are probably buried in the remote land now, and you’ll never have the chance to see them again in this lifetime.”

”What are you saying!” Yue Yunlan’s body froze, staring hard at Yaan Jinghong, a flicker of anger in her eyes.

”You still don’t understand, do you?” Yaan Jinghong shrugged, his demeanor lazy, ”Then let me put it in simpler terms, they’re dead!”

”You, Yaan Jinghong! You’re lying to me!”

Yue Yunlan was suddenly agitated, biting her silver teeth, and slapped fiercely towards Yaan Jinghong.

”You’re soon to be my Regent Princess Consort, how could I bear to lie to you? Hahaha...”

Yaan Jinghong stepped aside, easily dodging Yue Yunlan’s slap, lightly pressed a point on her left shoulder, sealing her acupoint, and smiled faintly, ”Alright, don’t cause trouble, everyone is waiting, hahaha!”

With her acupoint sealed, Yue Yunlan couldn’t move a muscle and could only follow behind Yaan Jinghong with the help of two maids.

”Miss, Miss!”

Qiaoqiao saw Yue Yunlan being restrained, wanted to go forward to help, but was tightly held by two palace maids from behind, her mouth even stuffed with a rag.

At the scene of the Regent King’s wedding, how could they let a mere maid cause disruption?

The ministers in the court, seeing this scene, all selectively ignored it, merely offering congratulations, none daring to utter a single idle word.

”Empress Dowager arrives!”

At this moment, the sound of carriages and horses came again; it was the main wedding officiant, the former Empress, and now the Empress Dowager, Yaan Ning, arriving on the scene.

With Yaan Ning’s status in the Yaan Family, even Yaan Jinghong had to call her grandmother, making her the most suitable person to officiate the wedding.

Everyone turned to look; every time they saw the face of the former most beautiful woman of the Empire, they couldn’t help but sigh that time left no trace on her.

Beside the Empress Dowager Ning, Yaan Shuying naturally followed closely, and under the courtiers’ greetings, the Empress Dowager walked into the Zhengyang Hall.

”Hehe, the Empress Dowager is here! Please take the seat!”

Yaan Jinghong remained indifferent, devoid of emotions, casually inviting the Empress Dowager to the main seat, saying nothing more.

”Hmph, Jinghong is becoming more and more indifferent; he used to call me cousin and was very respectful to you, Grand Empress Dowager.”

Beside, Yaan Shuying bit her lip; truthfully, though Yaan Jinghong helped the Yaan family reach unimaginable heights, making them the top family in the Sky White Empire, from him, one could no longer feel any familial bond.

”Alright, Shuying, today is Jinghong’s big day, don’t complain.”

Yaan Ning took a deep breath, though her heart felt slightly uneasy; could it truly be like Yan Cangtian said, that Yaan Jinghong had completely fallen into demonic ways?

If so, the Yaan family might rise because of Yaan Jinghong, but one day, might perish because of him too.

She only hoped that the day it happened would be as delayed as possible.

At least, she didn’t want to see that day come.

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

Yaan Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes devoid of emotional fluctuations, finding the smooth progression of the wedding rather tedious.

The officiant, after delivering a lengthy, cumbersome blessing, finally called out loudly, ”First bow to the heavens!”

Yaan Jinghong slowly turned, looking towards the outside of the hall.

Yue Yunlan, escorted by the two maids, also turned, standing beside Yaan Jinghong.

However, at this moment, outside the hall, the sky dome became unusually dark, the clouds high above furiously swirling, converging into an unbelievably giant vortex.

Vaguely, Yaan Jinghong seemed to see a gigantic ship’s bow amid the clouds, and on that bow, a silhouette standing tall.

”Yaan Jinghong, with our ’relationship’, to not invite me to your wedding, isn’t it quite disrespectful!”

Rumbling sounds filled the air, accompanied by bolts of thunder breaking through the sky. The enormous Flying Boat broke through the clouds; Ling Feng’s figure flashed, leaping down from the Breakthrough Shuttle, with a ”boom” sound, directly splitting the dome of the Zhengyang Hall into a massive hole.

As the dust dispersed, a white-robed youth stood with hands behind his back, a faint circle of firelight swirling around him, isolating all the smoke and dust outside.

This white-robed youth, if not Ling Feng, who else could it be?

”It’s Ling Feng!”

With Ling Feng’s previous performance when challenging the Royal Sword Team having shocked the court, few within could claim not to know him.

Now, Ling Feng, in such a posture, forcefully disrupted the wedding scene, and the aura emanating from him was no less than Yaan Jinghong’s.

The ministers all retreated far back, everyone sensing that what was about to follow could only be an earth-shaking battle.

”Young Master Ling!”

Upon Ling Feng’s sudden appearance, Yue Yunlan felt as if she were in a dream.

But if this was only her dream, she wished never to awaken.

”It’s him! That damned little brat!”

Yaan Shuying, standing by the Empress Dowager, saw Ling Feng appear and couldn’t help but clench her pink fists; she and Ling Feng indeed had quite a bit of unresolved grievances!

Yaan Ning narrowed her eyes slightly.

Perhaps Ling Feng was what had her feeling uneasy in the first place.

”Ling Feng, you managed to come out from the Demon Domain, just a bit later than I expected. So, care for a celebratory drink first?”

Yaan Jinghong’s gaze fell upon Ling Feng, seeming not too surprised by his appearance.

Ling Feng glanced at Yue Yunlan, confirming she was only slightly weak, felt slightly reassured, then fixing his gaze on Yaan Jinghong, coldly said, ”Enough of the nonsense, Yaan Jinghong, if you still have the pride of a Martial Artist, then come out and fight me!”

(PS: Because I struggled with writing the wedding scene, made countless edits but remained unsatisfied, I decided to skip to the fight. These two Chapters feel a bit awkward to me, so just bear with it...)
