1402 Crown Prince Of The Sacred Comes To Pray

After listening to the Moon Goddess' words, Zhang Ruochen felt like he was no different from the frog at the bottom of the well.

There were actually so many worlds as strong as Kunlun's Field in the universe. But even put together, they still couldn't counter the attacks from Hell. They must establish the Heaven World to counter Hell.

How strong was Hell?

Zhang Ruochen inhaled sharply. A strange thought appeared in his mind, but he shook his head, not continuing to think about it. His eyes darkened, as if thinking about something.

It didn't cost much effort to invite Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic over, because they'd gone voluntarily to Zhang Ruochen, deciding to visit Peakless Mountain with him.

"Back then, Shi Qianjue killed my entire family," Gu Songzi said angrily. "It's time to make him pay. Before, I didn't dare to go to Peakless Mountain because they had the advantage in numbers. Now that I'm going with you, the Crown Prince, I'm ready to stir up a storm."

"The Saintess of the Demonic Sect is being forced to marry a tree," the Crazy Alcoholic said. "Shi Qianjue has married all of the ancestors. I will stop this from happening even if it kills me."

"It's far from Yunwu Commandery to the Peakless Mountain. If we don't go now, we might not make it in time."

Zhang Ruochen sat on the Golden Dragon Carriage. He activated all his Holy Qi and poured it in. Nine golden dragons instantly rushed out of the carriage, shaking the clouds with their roars.

Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic transformed into two beams of light and rushed into the carriage.

Roar!

Instantly, the nine golden dragons transformed into golden streaks. Pulling the carriage, they rushed into the sky. Mere moments later, they were already outside of Yunwu Commandery.

The Seventh.

Most of the Saints from the various top forces had arrived at Peakless Mountain. Today's banquet would gather all the Saints. Its scale was unprecedented.

"Xue Wuye, lord of Wanxiang City, has arrived to the banquet."

"Sui Han, leader of the Qin Sect, has arrived to give blessings."

"Heavenly King Douzhan has arrived. Please enter the palace."

…

Both the Moon-Worship Demonic Sect and Fire Tribe were absolute powers and friendly with many clans and sects. Thus, the ones who could receive invitations were all big names.

Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi sat in similar places. One was a player while the other practiced abstinence, but they had a very good relationship.

"How about we bet whether Zhang Ruochen or Qiu Yu will arrive first today?" Xue Wuye asked, chuckling.

Monk Lidi smiled and shook his head softly. "No."

Xue Wuye found it disinteresting too. "I, Xue Wuye, hate men who pressure women. For a woman, you have to understand her, spoil her, love her, protect her. To be honest, between Zhang Ruochen and Qiu Yu, I would rather have Zhang Ruochen get the beauty in the end."

"A pity, a pity," Monk Lidi said.

"It's indeed a pity. The Fire Tribe and Moon-Worship Demonic Sect are both too strong. Even if Emperor Ming were alive, he might not offend them both for a woman. Even if Zhang Ruochen comes to Peakless Mountain, he might be powerless too."

Not everyone who came to the banquet was on Qiu Yu's side. Some also hoped Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi could have a good ending.

Actually, many forces owed Zhang Ruochen and recognized his character.

However, they were too lowly before the Moon-Worship Demonic Sect and Fire Tribe. They could only sigh inwardly.

"I only hope Zhang Ruochen won't come to Peakless Mountain. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll suffer today."

"This is the headquarters of the Moon-Worship Demonic Sect. Even when Empress Chi Yao attacked them back then, she still suffered greatly."

"Zhang Ruochen should just bear it. It's not worth it to give up his life for a woman."

…

Time passed quickly. It was now noon.

According to the agreement, Qiu Yu and the Fire Tribe should arrive now and lead the bride away.

But neither Qiu Yu nor Zhang Ruochen had arrived. The atmosphere was extremely strange.

"Zhang Ruochen probably got scared away. He won't dare to come to Peakless Mountain today."

"That's not certain. Maybe the army of the Sacred and the Fire Tribe have already started fighting a vicious war somewhere."

Mu Lingxi wore a bright red dress with phoenix patterns. She had beautiful makeup on and her hair was very neatly done. She put on a phoenix headdress and sat primly at the front of the banquet without moving. She was beautiful.

Looking only at her features, there was no women more beautiful than her in all of Kunlun's Field.

No matter what the others said, she didn't feel any joy or sadness. Whether Zhang Ruochen came today or not, she would not marry Qiu Yu. Today's wedding might be her funeral.

Just then, fiery red clouds rolled over powerfully from the south. One could vaguely see Saint beasts, carriages, and ships in the fire.

"Look, the cultivators of the Fire Tribe are here!"

At that moment, countless eyes on Peakless Mountain looked up into the sky.

"I can finally see Qiu Yu's handsome looks. Unfortunately, the bride isn't me. How come the little Saintess is so lucky?"

"I heard that Qiu Yu is number one of all cultivators in his generation. Even Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi are below him. I wonder what kind of legendary figure he is."

Finally, Mu Lingxi's fingers tensed a bit. Her entire body was trembling lightly.

Another Saintess of the Demonic Sect laughed beside her. "The Zhang Ruochen that you're waiting for might not be coming. Of course, marrying Qiu Yu is enough for us sisters to be jealous."

"This is none of your business," Mu Lingxi said.

"Yes! You're so powerful. Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen will become the laughingstock of Kunlun's Field after today. Everyone will know that he was scared by Qiu Yu and as cowardly as a mouse."

"Actually, Zhang Ruochen's choice was accurate. After all, he would only be coming to die."

Mu Lingxi was furious. Unfortunately, she couldn't move at all. Otherwise, she would've walked over to slap the other Saintess.

Moments later, the cultivators of the Fire Tribe climbed up Peakless Mountain with Qiu Yu at the front. They came to Tianmu Peak and entered the white stone square where the banquet was set up.

Saint Leader Mu and Yun Zheng went to welcome him personally.

Yun Zheng smiled from far away. "Son-in-law, we've been waiting. Why did you only arrive now?"

Qiu Yu wore a red outfit and had a clean face. He was very handsome. Seemingly very humble and apologetic, he said, "We were stopped by some Sacred rebels along the way and they delayed us. Fortunately, we took care of all of the little thieves. We didn't miss the most auspicious time, right?"

Everyone was silent.

No cultivator present was unmoved.

Not long ago, the Sacred rebels had defeated the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. Their force was extremely large. But this powerful force was defeated by the Fire Tribe so easily. Qiu Yu had even called them a group of "little thieves."

Wasn't the Fire Tribe a bit too strong?

A wave of fawning voices sounded instantly.

Mu Lingxi's heart trembled slightly. Her face turned pale instantly.

Saint Leader Mu and Yun Zheng exchanged glances. They both let out relieved sighs and smiles. Since the Sacred rebels were killed, today's wedding should be very successful.

Xue Wuye smiled and called out, "Excuse me, Qiu Yu, was Zhang Ruochen part of the group of little thieves?"

Qiu Yu looked over at Xue Wuye. "I did not happen to see Zhang Ruochen."

"I see. I guess they really were a group of small thieves." Xue Wuye raised his wine glass in Qiu Yu's direction. He smiled and took a sip.

The banquet's atmosphere grew a bit awkward.

Yun Zheng chuckled. "I'm afraid Zhang Ruochen didn't even dare to fight personally. He ran away in fear when he saw the cultivators of the Fire Tribe."

The banquet was filled with laughter. In order to flatter Qiu Yu, someone else followed with, "Yes, the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion can't compare to the Fire Tribe. Even if Zhang Ruochen borrows some guts, he still won't dare to offend the Fire Tribe."

The atmosphere finally recovered a bit. Then Saint Leader Mu and Yun Zheng brought Qiu Yu and the Fire Tribe cultivators toward the banquet.

Boom.

Suddenly, the entire Peakless Mountain trembled.

Next, a resonating voice traveled from the horizon. "Zhang Ruochen, Crown Prince of Sacred Ming, has come to Peakless Mountain to pray to the heaven and earth."

Each word was like thunder, ringing painfully in everyone's ears.

That moment, the sky darkened a bit.

Everyone on Peakless Mountain looked toward the direction of the voice. A 3,000-foot-tall Taigu Demon Ape stood on the horizon. It held a battle flag and looked extremely menacing and aggressive.

The voice earlier had come from its mouth.

Beside the Demon Ape, there was a dragon carriage pulled by nine golden dragons. It drove over the plains, approaching Peakless Mountain.

Behind the dragon carriage, four Saint beasts lifted up the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron while roaring.

Other than that, the various Saints of the Guarding Dragon Pavilion and the Sacred followed closely behind the Golden Dragon Carriage. Extremely strong Saintly Way ripples came from each of them.

"The Crown Prince of the Sacred has come to Peakless Mountain to pray," a Saint roared coldly. "People of Moon-Worship Demonic Sect, how dare you not open the gates and welcome him immediately?"

Emperors would all choose famous mountains to pray to the sky.

Eight hundred years ago, Peakless Mountain had been within the borders of the Sacred Central Empire. It was reasonable for the Crown Prince of the Sacred to come to Peakless Mountain for the ritual.

All the cultivators at Mount Tianmu exchanged awkward glances. Zhang Ruochen really did dare to come to Peakless Mountain for the ritual. He was completely provoking the Moon-Worship Demonic Sect.

At the same time, everyone knew that the ritual was just an excuse. Zhang Ruochen's true motives were probably to steal the bride.

Whoosh!

The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron flew up and hovered in the sky. Many golden runes flew out of the cauldron and lit up the sky like stars.

A Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, countless miles long, flew around the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and roared angrily, "If you don't open the gates and formation, the Crown Prince will flatten Peakless Mountain today!"
