Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321: Quite the Grand Scene

”Crack!”

Without any warning, the plaque of the Shengzi Mansion suddenly split apart, then fell to the ground.

The guards at the entrance were thrown into chaos. Ling Xiao took advantage of the commotion to sneak inside, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Though he used to be annoyed by Ji Mingkong, the title of Holy Son was only fitting for her. Ji Mingxing? What kind of thing was he? Did he dare to call himself Holy Son?

What’s more, this mansion was bestowed upon Great General Ji Ning by Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue, and no one was fit to occupy it.

That included the Emperor!

No matter how desolate the mansion became, as long as Ji Ning didn’t give consent, anyone who occupied it was being disrespectful — not just to him but to Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue too.

Phoenix Immeasurable’s defiance and rebellion in daring to seize this place naturally made Ling Xiao decide to destroy the plaque.

Of course, there was also a minor reason — his intent to exploit the chaos to barge into the mansion.

And clearly, he succeeded.

Although the shattering of the plaque caused considerable disruption, the wedding still had to proceed. Phoenix Immeasurable ordered the guards to tighten security, slowly restoring order.

Still, his expression darkened considerably. Someone actually dared to destroy the plaque he personally gifted to Ji Mingxing — was this not a direct slap in his face?

If he found out who did it, that person definitely wouldn’t get away lightly.

After a brief bout of disorder, the guests gradually arrived.

Yet, from start to finish, no one caught sight of Phoenix Xiao.

At the VIP seating area, the young disciples of Phoenix God College sat tall and proud, their postures straight and confident, their demeanor earning the admiration of other guests.

Though half a year ago, this academy suffered a major tragedy at the hands of a young man named Ling Xiao, who exacted a steep price from them,

in only six months, they had risen again. With the Dragon-Phoenix Selection drawing near, even more talented individuals joined their ranks.

Qingxu College, by contrast, had been left far behind.

If not for Qingxu College’s collaboration with Tianlong Trade Company — enabling them to manufacture and sell specialty pills — they might have truly fallen under the weight of competition.

There was no helping it. Phoenix God College was endorsed by the Royal Family, leagues above Qingxu College.

Even Ji Mingxing alone almost wiped Qingxu College’s reputation clean, causing public opinion to increasingly lean toward its impending decline.

The future of the Phoenix God Empire belonged to Phoenix God College and the radiant young talents seated in the VIP area.

That was what most people thought.

But some knew better. Over the past six months, including Qingxu College, many genius Martial Artists had chosen to retreat into closed cultivation.

Take, for instance, that Joshua Long from Qingxu College!

Though his Cultivation Level initially lagged behind Ji Mingkong’s, he had surpassed her since, and without his period of seclusion, Ji Mingxing might not have gained any advantages whatsoever.

And Joshua Long wasn’t even alone — there were plenty of similar figures.

Recently, the rising Sword Demon, whose fame even overshadowed Ji Mingxing’s, also did not attend today’s wedding. This individual might be even more fearsome than Ji Mingxing.

Additionally, there were those who viewed the so-called elite at the VIP seating with utter disdain.

Most notably Ling Xiao, Leng Mei, and Moon Lady.

Indeed, it was a case of ”when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king!”

Ling Xiao had been absent for six months, yet this useless Ji Mingxing had somehow risen to become the greatest genius of the Heavenly Dragon Continent and even dared provoke Ji Mingkong at Qingxu College.

Now that the Fierce Tiger was returning, he would let this monkey know who the real king was!

Boom Boom!

Bang Bang!

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of ceremonial cannons rang out from outside.

The echoes spread across the entire Imperial Capital, as if deliberately announcing to the world that today was Ji Mingxing’s grand wedding day.

Phoenix Immeasurable truly spared no effort — he did everything possible to curry favor with the Great Sun World Lord.

On the old face of the Great Sun World Lord, there was nothing but smiles. Just a month ago, he had successfully broken into the Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation stage, making him one of the rare supreme experts on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

Even compared to the Divine Phoenix Continent and the White Tiger Continent, he was undoubtedly a top-tier expert.

Phoenix Immeasurable cozying up to him was entirely to be expected.

The entrance of Shengzi Mansion was packed with crowds of onlookers, Martial Artists who couldn’t enter but wanted to catch a glimpse of the spectacle.

Inside Shengzi Mansion, the scene was no less chaotic — it was teeming with Jianghu heroes who came to pay respects to Ji Mingxing, Phoenix Immeasurable, and the Great Sun World Lord.

Indeed, the grandeur of this wedding rivaled that of a Crown Prince’s ceremony.

Phoenix Immeasurable spared no expense.

Within the mansion grounds, countless Martial Artists cast envious and jealous glances toward Ji Mingxing.

Not only did he receive personal tutoring from the Great Sun World Lord as his disciple, but he also gained Phoenix Immeasurable’s blessings and was granted marriage by the Emperor himself.

Moreover, he had sworn brotherhood with outstanding geniuses from the Peacock Clan, Roc Clan, and Righteous Qi Alliance.

This man seemed the epitome of the favored protagonist of destiny.

While the guests felt a surge of envy, they also found their horizons broadened by the event.

Seeing these lofty figures who rarely appeared in public conversing and laughing at the VIP seating, it seemed as though their lives now had lasting worth.

Strong men displayed the grace of the strong.

Geniuses revealed the flair of the brilliant.

The VIP seating felt like the concentrated essence of the Phoenix God Empire’s magnificence.

After ushering in his sworn brothers, Ji Mingxing hastily withdrew.

When the ceremonial cannons sounded, protocol dictated that he and Fengming Lian should appear together hand-in-hand on the red carpet.

But as the cannons thundered repeatedly, neither of them emerged.

Ling Xiao suspected that Fengming Lian truly loathed this marriage, or else she wouldn’t have delayed this golden opportunity.

Perhaps fearing that the scene might grow awkward, Phoenix Immeasurable stood and gestured for quiet among the crowd.

Though the ceremonial cannon blasts continued, Phoenix Immeasurable’s voice rang clearly in the ears of everyone present.

”Today is the joyous occasion of my adopted son Ji Mingxing and my niece Fengming Lian’s grand wedding. The bride and groom must be feeling a little shy, so allow me to say a few words first.”

As he spoke, servants quickly entered to hurry the pair.

Meanwhile, the ceremonial cannons kept firing.

After all, Ji Mingxing had money to spare — the Great Sun World Lord’s riches were his to command.

They could keep firing all day without worrying about running out.

Phoenix Immeasurable continued, ”Fengming Lian, naturally, needs no introduction — she is the daughter of our dynasty’s foremost genius, Phoenix Xiao. Though she seldom appears publicly, her talents are extraordinary. At only sixteen years old, she has already reached the late stage of Ten Directions Heaven Cultivation!”

Hearing this, even Ling Xiao couldn’t help feeling astonished.

He had reached Half-step Cave Heaven Realm Cultivation at seventeen, an incredible feat.

Yet Fengming Lian’s aptitude was no less impressive — a true prodigy.

Such a pity, though, that she was marrying a worthless man.

”Ji Mingxing, the only disciple of the Great Sun World Lord, aged seventeen, has achieved the pinnacle of Ten Directions Heaven Cultivation! The Heavenly Dragon Continent’s greatest talent, even surpassing the former Ling Xiao!

At such a young age, he caught the eye of the Great Sun World Lord and underwent meticulous training.

This youth is also the cherished son of the former Holy Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty, who as a child was mortally endangered by evildoers. Fortunately, righteous individuals managed to save him.”

As the saying goes, great blessings follow great misfortune.

”Now Ji Mingxing has returned. He personally resolved those past grievances and vanquished the false Holy Son Ji Mingkong!”
