Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 634: Chapter 294: Let Cultivators Continue Fighting

Western Emperor Palace.

In a dazzling, magnificent palace, a dignified man in a yellow robe sat in the center, beside him was a woman in a red phoenix robe.

These two were Emperor Wu Zheng and Empress Lin Yuan of the West Imperial Dynasty.

Wu Zheng looked handsome, with a sharp gaze, while Lin Yuan had an elegant demeanor, appearing quite gentle.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Empress."

Yet the Deputy Commander of the Golden Snake Guard who was kneeling before them was noticeably more respectful to Lin Yuan.

Because the entire Western Emperor Palace knew, outside perhaps the Empress would ensure the royal prestige, making the people believe the West Imperial Dynasty revered the Emperor, but inside the palace, it was the Empress who ruled everything.

At this moment, it was no different; Wu Zheng had not spoken yet, Lin Yuan lightly said: "Rise."

"Thank you, Empress!"

The Deputy Commander responded respectfully and dared to stand up, while the Emperor beside him had no objections to being overlooked.

After all, he was once just a third prince, defeated the Crown Prince, ascended the throne, all relying on his wife.

Back then, from the day Lin Yuan entered the Western Emperor Palace, she was called the number one Fairy of the West Imperial Dynasty.

Whereas Wu Zheng was merely a neglected, idle prince.

But Lin Yuan favored him, not only marrying him but also aiding him in succeeding and ascending the throne.

Devoted solely to him, she bore him three children and silently allowed him numerous beauties in his harem.

Adding to that, Lin Yuan had the mysterious and transcendent Immortal Flying Pavilion supporting her, possessing such means and background, and being so tolerant and indulgent towards him, Wu Zheng revered his Empress immensely.

At this moment, Lin Yuan said to the Deputy Commander of the Golden Snake Guard: "Any news from Si Mingcheng?"

The Deputy Commander promptly answered, "Empress, Commander Si has just sent a message back, confirming Zhenyang Sect’s Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan... are dead."

"Really? That’s great!"

Wu Zheng was overjoyed, but Lin Yuan gave him a faint glance, and he smiled awkwardly, bowing his head, not daring to speak further.

Lin Yuan said calmly: "Tantai Mingyue is just like back then, deceiving herself, Chen Qingmo remains in seclusion, and three of the Six Great Elders are gone. Thus, Zhenyang Sect is no longer a threat."

Wu Zheng hesitated a moment and whispered: "Empress, does that mean your plan... can be carried out?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Deputy Commander, who hurriedly bowed and exited the hall.

Only then did Lin Yuan say: "Stirring internal strife among the Three Great Sects isn’t that easy; we still need Master’s approval."

Just then, the sky outside suddenly became resplendently brilliant, and Lin Yuan’s expression changed, her body instantly leaving the palace.

"Empress?" Wu Zheng stumbled out, momentarily stupefied.

He saw the entire sky covered by a giant invitation card, and Wu Zheng looked up, murmuring:

"Immortal Flying Invitation?"

He said puzzled: "Didn’t we spread the news of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony across the world as instructed by the Immortal Masters? Why did the Immortal Masters send another Immortal Flying Invitation unnecessarily?"

Beside him, Lin Yuan paid him no heed, bowed respectfully, and said toward the sky:

"Disciple obeys Master’s command and will ensure chaos among the Three Great Sects, making cultivators across the realm fight endlessly!"

After Lin Yuan finished her salute, Wu Zheng cautiously said:

"Empress, we are already doing well; why must we involve ourselves in matters of the cultivation realm?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him lightly: "Emperor, do not forget how you ascended the throne."

Wu Zheng was taken aback, his expression fluctuating, he whispered:

"Back then, you asked my elder brother if he would leverage the power of the West Imperial Dynasty to guide cultivators in struggle; he refused, so you chose me."

With a sharpness emerging in Lin Yuan’s deep and beautiful eyes: "I fulfilled my promises of the throne and heirs to you; today, you intend to renege on yours?"

Wu Zheng waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not, Empress, the entire West Imperial Dynasty is at your disposal!"

Lin Yuan flicked her phoenix robe: "That’s good."

Then her expression returned to elegant warmth, "Emperor, Yiren said she also wants to attend the Immortal Ascension Ceremony."

Wu Zheng smiled wryly: "Our daughter wants to help Lan Yin enter the top three?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "What does the Emperor think?"

Wu Zheng said: "Leave it to the Empress to decide."

A rare tenderness flashed in Lin Yuan’s phoenix eyes: "After the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, the world will be chaotic, and the Imperial Palace will be a dangerous place. If Yiren can elope with her beloved, it might not be a bad thing."

"The Empress is right, that..."

Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled ingratiatingly:

"If Qiu Zhihe appears at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, what you promised me..."

Lin Yuan replied coldly: "Have I ever stopped you from taking a concubine? However, that second beauty on the Beauty Ranking, Qiu Zhihe, already has a husband. You take care of it yourself."

"Haha, as long as the Empress approves, I’ll manage it!"

Wu Zheng laughed heartily.

"I’m tired."

Lin Yuan turned and headed toward the Phoenix Palace where the Empress resided.

"Empress."

Wu Zheng suddenly called out and asked:

"Back then, marrying me, was there, aside from the orders of your sect, any... other reasons?"

Lin Yuan paused her steps and said calmly:

"No."

Then her figure flashed and vanished swiftly.

Wu Zheng stood there for a moment, looking up at the dazzling giant Immortal Flying Invitation in the sky, suddenly laughed.

"Yiren, leaving the Imperial Palace is good, at least better than me, haha."

On another side of the Western Emperor Palace.

Liufang Hall where the Seventh Princess resides.

Wu Yiren sat cross-legged within a Spirit Gathering Array that aided cultivation, surrounded by Spirit Marrow and various Spirit Pills.

After returning from the South Demon region, Wu Yiren sought her mother, Lin Yuan’s approval that as long as Lan Yin won a top three position at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, she would marry Lan Yin.

From then on, Wu Yiren practiced daily inside Liufang Hall.

At this moment, the commotion outside awakened her, Wu Yiren opened her eyes, walked outside, and looked up at the sky.

The multicolored light shone on her face, Wu Yiren wore a smile, eyes filled with tears, murmuring:

"Brother Lan Yin, I will definitely help you win, don’t forget me."

...

Zhenyang Mountain.

Xiyue Peak.

Mo Xiaolan opened her eyes, gazing at the sky outside the window, while Liu Su’s chirping voice rang in her ears:

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, look quick, what a huge invitation card!"

"So this is what the Immortal Flying Invitation looks like. Last time it appeared, neither of us were born yet!"

"Miss was only six back then; tomorrow I’ll ask her if there’s any difference between the last and this Immortal Flying Invitation?"

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, why aren’t you speaking?"

Mo Xiaolan looked at the giant invitation card in the sky, the brilliant light casting her face in helplessness.

"Yiren, I hope when we meet in West Imperial City, you have already forgotten Lan Yin."

Liu Su leaned against her, a hint of sharpness on her face:

"Xiaolan, if during the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, I personally kill Cheng Qingyu before everyone, wouldn’t that be the best way to avenge?"
