Chapter 617 Double Happiness with Red Silk
Panic gripped the wedding hall. Everyone looked up at the discolored sky, some bewildered, some astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
What a fine day! Why did the wind and thunder suddenly start?
"Alright, alright, it's just a clap of thunder. Quick, don't miss the auspicious time, let's continue the wedding ceremony!"
"Yes, yes, it's just a change in the weather; things will be like this around this time!"
"On such a wonderful day, you mustn't say anything carelessly. Come on, children, don't be afraid, God is going to bless you."
Although the neighbors didn't know any magic or immortality techniques, they were all simple and kind. Ever since Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan settled here, they had been very helpful. No one would refuse to help with any illness or disaster, big or small.
Even now, despite the strange turn of events, they still happily congratulate the newlyweds and keep comforting them, fearing that the two young people, inexperienced in such matters, might be frightened by this sudden accident.
Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan were genuinely scared.
However, their fears were different, yet they ultimately arrived at the same conclusion.
Their tightly clasped hands trembled slightly, then clasped together even more firmly.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
Their parents were no longer alive, and only a shrine was placed in their ancestral hall, inscribed with the four characters "Three Pure Ones Ancestors".
The two joined hands and bowed down before the ancestral tablet.
This time, however, they didn't even get to worship. With a deafening roar of thunder, the shrine shattered in the middle and crashed to the ground.
Their faces turned completely pale.
The villagers surrounding the wedding hall held their breath, staring in astonishment at the scene before them.
What... what does this mean?
Are these two well-matched children not blessed by God? Shouldn't they become husband and wife?
How could that be? They have such a good relationship, and they are both kind-hearted and understanding people!
An eerie silence spread through the once bustling wedding hall, instantly engulfing the entire courtyard.
In this cold silence, Jiang Liqian's calm and firm voice pierced the dim sky.
"Husband and wife bow to each other, vowing never to part."
Before she finished speaking, she turned around first and looked at the handsome young man opposite her through the swaying red veil.
Xu Youan never expected his senior sister to do such a thing. Feeling her reassuring yet firm determination to fight against the Heavenly Dao to the end, he turned around in a daze.
"Sister..."
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said softly, "It's our turn to bow to each other."
Xu Youan stared blankly at her, about to bow down and complete the wedding ceremony.
Suddenly, several knocks came from outside the courtyard.
Xu Youan froze.
"Perhaps some villagers are still arriving. Senior sister, I'll go open the door and be right back..."
Jiang Li pursed her lips, wanting to pull him back, but ultimately failed.
Xu Youan turned around hurriedly and walked quickly towards the entrance of the courtyard.
The uncles, aunts, and other relatives present exchanged bewildered glances, feeling that there was something strange about this grand wedding.
Jiang Liqian curled her fingers, quietly waiting for Xu Youan to return. She heard the footsteps gradually fade away, heard the creak of the door opening, and heard someone walking in from outside, their steps light and graceful, as if riding the wind and treading on snow.
She held her breath, but suddenly realized that she could no longer hear the other footsteps.
She abruptly lifted the veil and turned around hastily.
The next second, they froze in place, stunned.
The entire wedding hall—the fluttering red silk, the trembling wedding candles, the bustling crowd, and Xu You'an standing at the entrance of the courtyard—all froze in place.
Everyone here, except her, was frozen in that fleeting moment of time.
Such terrifying power, such the ability to interfere with the rules of heaven and earth... Jiang Liqian looked up at the newcomer with a deathly pale face and all color drained from her eyes. The bright red veil, as vibrant as blood, suddenly fell from her hands and crashed heavily onto the intricate and exquisite skirt of her wedding dress.
"Master... Sect Leader..."
Bathed in warm golden light, Qingzhi stood gracefully outside the fiery red silk, her cool and aloof gaze seemingly sweeping over all things before finally settling on her blazing wedding dress.
The vermilion seal gleams with flowing light, white robes flutter, and snowflakes fly across the sky.
Since the arrival of immortals, the gate has been radiant and the vegetation lush.
She was all alone, as if standing on the edge of an abyss.
Jiang Liqian kept trying to back away, her eyes slowly turning red, her phoenix crown weeping as if foreshadowing her final fate.
She shook her head.
"No, Sect Leader, please spare us! We'll stay here and never go back, please..."
Qingzhi stared at her intently, as if in a daze he was looking at another person through her.
A sudden, faint sigh fell into the frozen light and shadow.
"Li'er, it's time to go back."
The wind and snow suddenly extinguished the red candles, and red silk ribbons swirled and fell from the sky. Jiang Liqian desperately tried to run to Xu Youan's side in the distance, but large swathes of darkness, like snowflakes, engulfed her one by one, layer by layer, without warning.
The icy blue snow lotus suddenly bloomed, gently enveloping the person who had fallen asleep on the lotus platform.
Qingzhi turned to the side, a faint white light flashing from his fingertips. Xu Youan, who had been frozen in place, suddenly lunged forward, half-kneeling on the ground. Accompanying this force was an overwhelming and terrifying pressure that was impossible to shake.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices in the blink of an eye, and his internal organs were squeezed so tightly that they were almost about to burst.
As Xu Youan coughed up blood, he stared intently at the girl inside the snow lotus flower—"Senior sister... Senior sister..." he murmured absentmindedly.
"Damn you, you still dare to covet my disciple!" Qingzhi flung his sleeve in disgust, and Xu Youan instantly felt a strong force lift him up and slam him against the wall next to him.
The sound of bones breaking rang in his ears, and Xu Youan felt a sharp pain that made his vision go black.
Faced with his miserable state, Qingzhi not only did not stop, but his disgust intensified.
"I should have killed you with my own hands, but she has always been too sentimental, so I can only endure your disrespect towards her time and time again."
Qingzhi walked to his side, looked down at him as if he were looking at something extremely filthy: "A walking corpse, you will not live long in the end, yet you dare to seduce her feelings. Do you know that you are her greatest calamity?"
"She was destined to become the most dazzling rising star in the cultivation world, the leader of the righteous path, the head disciple of the sect leader, and in the future, she would have taken over the position of the number one immortal sect leader, reaching the pinnacle of the cultivation world. She would have become an immortal, a god, and comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao..."
Qingzhi stopped abruptly, his eyes turning completely cold, as if a storm was raging within him: "If you can't keep your vow, why did you make such a solemn promise in the first place?!"
"You know perfectly well what kind of torment the last person left will endure!"
Xu Youan closed his eyes in pain.
Tears fell into my heart, a bitter pain that pierced my soul.
"sorry Sorry……"
Qingzhi stopped looking at Xu Youan, who was covered in blood on the ground, and with a gentle wave of her sleeve, her figure gradually disappeared along with the snow lotus.
Only one sentence echoed in the cold air.
"These three words are what I hate most!"
