Today, Su Star was incredibly lively.
In the starry void in the distance, one ship after another continuously flew over, descending onto Su Star like a swarm of passing locusts.
The Patriarch of the Su Clan personally led a group of high-ranking figures to stand in the starry void, welcoming some truly important personages.
Having issued a massive number of invitations this time, the Su Clan had invited a large number of prominent, high-profile figures to bear witness to the marriage alliance between the Su Clan and the Luosha Sect.
Nearly every major force ranked within the top twenty of the Canghuang Realm had sent senior representatives. Some even came in person.
One could say that today was almost certainly the most bustling and glorious day in the Su Clan's history!
"His Holiness the Sacred Temple Master has arrived!"
Suddenly, a thunderous announcement rang out from the distant starry void, shaking the entire expanse.
Then, a procession of over ten magnificent ships could be seen rolling through the distant starry void, making a grand spectacle.
"Haha… We pay our humble respects to Temple Master Lü!"
The Su Clan Patriarch laughed heartily, leading several Su Clan Elders as he swiftly advanced to greet him.
Sacred Temple Master Lü Wutian had arrived!
The Sacred Temple was one of the three super forces of the Canghuang Realm, its strength a cut above both the Su Clan and the Luosha Sect. For him to come personally was a great honor!
Thus, everyone in the Su Clan from top to bottom was extremely excited.
At this moment.
No one noticed that a single ship was quietly approaching Su Star from another direction.
"How could Sister Qing Luo possibly marry that Qin An? There's absolutely no way! There's only one explanation: she's being forced by her family! Sister Qing Luo is Elder Brother's woman. I must find a way to save her!"
Inside the ship, Wu Heishan rubbed his hands anxiously, pacing back and forth as he muttered incessantly.
At the moment, Wu Heishan's body was wrapped in bandages in several places, with blood seeping through. During this period, he had been constantly pursued, narrowly escaping death several times. Luckily, when he left the Qingyun Palace, he had brought a large number of high-grade healing elixirs personally refined by Ye Yunfei. Furthermore, his Great Stars Art had grown increasingly powerful, and he had even cultivated some unusual phenomena. That was how he had barely managed to survive until now.
As soon as he heard the news of Su Qingluo and Qin An's engagement, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Bracing himself, he decided to rush to Su Star to find her.
"Brother, we're about to land on Su Star. We must be careful with everything then. The Su Clan is very powerful, and today many experts from major factions will be gathering there."
In another part of the starry void, a ship was also quietly approaching Su Star. Inside, a young woman with delicate and gentle features, like a sheltered gentlewoman, spoke.
This young woman was none other than Xiao Hui! She had already reunited with her elder brother, Yuan Dayong. Upon hearing the news about Su Qingluo and Qin An, they too immediately knew things were amiss. After discussing it together, the two siblings decided to come to Su Star to see what was really going on. They were far too familiar with the relationship between Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo! They understood that apart from Ye Yunfei, Su Qingluo would absolutely not marry any other man. How could she possibly marry Qin An? Unless she was forced!
"I wonder if Elder Brother knows about this yet," Yuan Dayong said.
Both Wu Heishan and Du Guhuan called Ye Yunfei 'Elder Brother,' and eventually Yuan Dayong simply followed suit.
"Right now, members of the Canghuang Alliance and those invaders from another world are both hunting Ye Yunfei everywhere. He must have found a place to hide. However, if Ye Yunfei hears the news about Sister Qingluo and Qin An becoming engaged, he'll definitely come. Perhaps we'll see him soon. That guy of his fears neither heaven nor earth, especially when it concerns Sister Qingluo," Xiao Hui thought for a moment before replying.
Tianlan Galaxy Sea.
The headquarters of the invader forces.
Inside a massive tent.
"Everyone, we have just investigated something. The marriage alliance between the Luosha Palace's Qin An and the Su Clan's Su Qingluo is actually related to Ye Yunfei! It turns out that this Su Qingluo is Ye Yunfei's lover, and the two share a deep bond. Meanwhile, Qin An and Ye Yunfei emerged from the same Small World all those years ago. Ye Yunfei annihilated Qin An's entire family. Therefore, Qin An and Ye Yunfei are sworn mortal enemies. Qin An wanting to marry Su Qingluo is entirely for the sake of revenge," a black-robed elder said gravely.
"What use is this information to us?" a high-ranking official asked.
"It is said that Su Qingluo was forced by the Su Clan elders to marry Qin An. Tell me, if Ye Yunfei found out about this, wouldn't he try to stop it?"
"He definitely would!"
The eyes of the surrounding high-ranking officials all lit up upon hearing this.
"Now, the news of the marriage alliance between the Su Clan and the Luosha Sect has been announced across the entire Canghuang Realm. It is almost common knowledge, and Ye Yunfei must have learned of it. Therefore, Ye Yunfei will definitely go to the Su Clan! This is our opportunity to deal with him!" one high-ranking official declared.
"Exactly. Let's set out immediately for the Su Clan headquarters!"
The black-robed elder stood up.
Su Star.
"The Rakshasa Lord, accompanied by his disciple, Qin An, has arrived!"
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded, echoing through the starry void. Immediately, the entire Su Star and a vast expanse of the surrounding starry void fell silent. All eyes looked towards the distance.
One of today's main protagonists, Qin An, had arrived!
"Haha… Welcome, Rakshasa Lord! And welcome to our Su Clan's esteemed son-in-law, Sir Qin!"
The next moment, the Su Clan Patriarch personally soared into the air, laughing loudly as he spoke.
Swoosh! Swoosh!...
Members of the Su Clan appeared one after another, forming orderly ranks to welcome the arrival of the Rakshasa Lord and Qin An. There was even a group of people holding various musical instruments, playing and performing with gusto.
"Qin An is here!"
Many spectators also rushed over, eager to witness the spectacle. For a moment, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Then, everyone saw over a dozen ships, adorned with colored ribbons and flying colorful flags, crossing the void from afar and halting before Su Star. Following that, groups of people with sharp, imposing auras emerged from those ships. The Luosha Sect had brought a large contingent—at least over a thousand people—making for an extremely grand spectacle!
The Rakshasa Lord led the way, with Qin An walking beside him. Qin An was dressed in purple robes, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze slightly tilted upwards, giving off an air of solitary pride. It seemed as if none of the people present were worthy of his attention! Qin An swept a cold, indifferent glance around, as if searching for something. However, not finding whom he sought, he withdrew his gaze.
*Ye Yunfei, oh Ye Yunfei. I know you will come. I will marry your woman right before your eyes. Then, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge the slaughter of my Qin Family. Furthermore, the Canghuang Origin on you will also belong to me! Once I obtain the Canghuang Origin, I will become the master of the Canghuang Realm. Then, I will devour all martial artists within this realm!*
A cold sneer echoed in Qin An's heart.
*My good disciple, you mustn't think only of yourself. If you become the Canghuang Origin, the martial artists of this Canghuang Realm shall be divided equally for us to devour. I need the energy to heal my wounds.*
At this moment, an ancient, hoarse voice sounded within Qin An's body.
*Master, don't worry. I will definitely give half to you. During my time at the Luosha Sect, I've already captured so many people for you to devour. If the Rakshasa Lord hadn't grown suspicious and ordered a thorough investigation into the disappearances within the Sect headquarters, I would have captured even more for you,* Qin An promptly replied.
*Hmm, it seems you do have a conscience. My efforts in cultivating you were not in vain.*
*If Master hadn't imparted the Heaven-Swallowing War Scripture to me, I would never have achieved my accomplishments today. I will definitely repay Master's great kindness. Don't worry, Master; I plan to stay at the Su Clan headquarters for a day. During that time, I will move discreetly and capture a group of Su Clan experts for you to devour.*
*Haha, good, good! Truly, my excellent disciple!* The voice roared with maniacal laughter.
