Chapter 112 - Uninvited Guest

3 days later, it was THE day, probably the happiest day that Jean will ever have in his life.

The Elegant Wind City's Mayor, Western Plains Great General, Heavenly Sword Villa's Young Villa Masters, Northern Blue City's Mayor…

Each name was scarier than the other, and all of them were invited in the wedding.

They were all people that either Jean or the Emperor wanted to invite, also many of them were influential people around the nation.

Even Xia Qingyue was between the invited ones, even if she and Jean had little contact during these years, they were still husband and wife. It would be just improper to not participate.

In the Main Hall, Jean had always been attentively listening to each and every arrival's name. When he had heard Xia Qingyue's name, his heart stirred abruptly as he looked in the direction of the hall's entrance.

Xia Qingyue walked across the hall with her master, Che Yueli. Jean smiled and stood up.

"Hey Wifey! Long time no see!" 

Xia Qingyue paused on her steps and turned around. "Congratulations for your wedding, Sir Dennell."

Jean's eyebrows twitched and murmured. "Still with that title? C'mon Wifey, you can do better!"

"*Cough* Sir Dennell's strength already reached the early Emperor Profound Realm at the age of 19, your future prospects will definitely be unlimited. We master and disciple especially came to congratulate the joyous occasion of the marriage… Xia Qingyue, let's enter the seats." Chu Yueli spoke and dragged Xia Qingyue away.

Jean let out a sigh and walked to the hall's front, where a large number of people greeted him, and a particular figure was between them...

"Brother-in-law!"

"Holy shit! Yuanba!" There was a massive figure running towards Jean, and enveloped him in a big hug, which Jean turned back.

"Damn, Yuanba… I really missed you!"

"Brother-in-law!! You're still okay! When I heard that you disappeared for an year I was worried about you!"

"Yeah, yeah…" The two made some space from each other and Jean sized him up. "So you have reached the Nascent Profound Realm!"

"Yes! It was hard but I did it! Even if it can't be compared to Brother-in-law's overwhelming strength…"

"Awww, don't worry! I can fix your problems with your Profound Veins in no time now!" Jean patted Yuanba's back, while he turned surprised from his words.

"Huh? You can? Didn't you tell me that I need to find a "trigger" for them?" Yuanba asked with surprise.

Jean chuckled and shook his head. "Don't mind my words back then, it was because I couldn't do something at that time, but now I can! Just stay here, ok?"

Yuanba nodded while Jean poked his guts. Some sort of nerves came out from his finger and pierced Yuanba's body without even him noticing it.

Using Compulsion, Jean changed the position of some genes, muscles, nerves, and other things, fixing Yuanba's Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins.

Later, Jean retracted his nerves and patted Yuanba's ċhėst. "Now you just need to wait a few days and you will feel the changes."

Yuanba nodded and hugged Jean again. "Thank you, brother-in-law! I owe you my life for this! If you need help, just call me, ok?"

"Yeah, I understand, now go back to your seat and start to accumulate profound energy for your activated profound veins." Xia Yuanba nodded and walked away, in that moment, someone else reached Jean. It was Ling Jie.

"Boss, congrats, congrats... Hehe, you and Princess Sis have finally gone official. Princess Sis was someone I wanted to take as wife back then you know, you definitely can't bully her in the future, got it?"

"Hahaha, of course I won't. What sort of man would I be if I treat her bad?"

Meanwhile…

"New Moon City's Mayor Mu Rongbo has arrived!"

"Golden Bell Mountain's Clan Head Jade Sword Taoist has arrived!"

"Divine Phoenix Empire's 13th Princ-*COUGH!*"

The Master of Ceremonies' throat seemed to have suddenly choked onto something. And the three words "Divine Phoenix Empire" he said, were like three exploding bombs that resounded beside the ears of everyone, making the clamoring main hall instantly become incomparably silent.

"Divine… Phoenix Empire's 13th Prince… Feng Xichen has arrived!"

Everyone's gaze focused on the 3 people that were walking across the hall. Cang Wanhe, who had always been sitting atop the high up seat instantly stood up. With an extremely shocked gaze, he looked at the young man who walked in bathed within everyone's gazes.

Feng Xichen went straight forward, walked to the center of the hall, and gave Cang Wanhe a simple courtesy as he spoke with a faint smile.

"This junior, Feng Xichen of the Divine Phoenix Sect, pays respect to the honored Blue Wind Emperor. Coming forward without notice this time, I hope that Blue Wind Emperor is magnanimous, and won't be hard on me."

Cang Wanhe took a step forward, his face still filled with a dense incredibility. Then he asked hesitantly. "Are you really… a prince of the Divine Phoenix Empire?"

Feng Xichen laughed indifferently. "I have the Divine Phoenix Jade as proof."

As he spoke, Feng Xichen stretched out his right hand and a blood red crimson piece of jade shaped like a phoenix appeared in his palm.

Once this blood colored jade appeared, an extremely thick fire type element crazily dispersed outwards like raging inferno had ignited within the main hall, making the complexions of the somewhat lower level profound cultivators in the hall instantly turn red, their entire bodies almost roasting.

Now, Cang Wanhe no longer had any doubts whatsoever, but at the same time, shock had rapidly rose in his heart. He took another step forward and laughed mildly.

"Never did we expect that it is a noble guest from the Divine Phoenix Empire gracing our home, this is truly a nice unexpected surprise for us."

Feng Xichen put away the Divine Phoenix Jade, flicked open the jade fan, and said casually. "The Blue Wind Emperor speaks too heavily, I do not deserve to be a noble guest, in fact, I came here today without being invited. I wish the Blue Wind Emperor won't take offense."

"Hahahaha, 13th Prince, whatever are you saying? The Divine Phoenix capital is several thousands of kilometers away from our Blue Wind Imperial City. For the 13th Prince to travel over land and sea this far, it could be said that my Blue Wind Imperial Family has been honorably graced with your presence. Men, quickly arrange seats of honor for our noble guests from the Divine Phoenix Empire."

"No need." Feng Xichen actually waved his hand and chuckled.

"This humble one also specifically came to your noble nation because of an important matter that just happened to coincide with the major event of Blue Wind Emperor marrying off his daughter. This humble one absolutely does not dare to delay too long… I wonder if the Blue Wind Emperor can guess at why this humble one has come over?"

Cang Wanhe thought for a bit, and asked. "Perhaps… the Profound Sky Seven Nation Ranking Tournament?"

"Hahahaha! It has not even reached half a year before the opening of the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament that happens once every 25 years, yet the other five nations have already started asking my Divine Phoenix Sect about such matters as early as three years in advance multiple times in order to prepare for it. 

Only your noble nation is still quiet and tranquil, and I had originally thought that your noble nation had already forgotten about this matter."

Feng Xichen's words and huge laughter was unrestrainedly divulging his contempt and mockery towards Blue Wind's profound practitioning world.

Cang Wanhe's complexion changed slightly, then resumed its original calmness as he laughed indifferently and said. 

"We naturally would not forget this grand event that only happens once every 25 years within the Profound Sky. It is only that we had been bedridden these past few years. As a result, we did not have the mental energy to think about those matters. Has 13th Prince come here to deliver the invitation letter for the Profound Sky Seven Nation Ranking Tournament?"

"Right." Feng Xichen nodded. Then, a golden stamped invitation card with a scarlet phoenix imprint appeared between his fingers.

"5 months later, the 39th Profound Sky Seven Nation Ranking Tournament shall take place within my Divine Phoenix Empire. Since it is the 'Seven Nation Ranking Tournament', then the 7th nation, Blue Wind, should come as well. 

The Seven Nation Ranking Tournament is hosted for the purpose of comparing strength and displaying national might within detailed established rules. I believe the Blue Wind Emperor already knows about them, so this humble one will not say anymore unnecessary words. 

However, this ranking tournament session is different from the previous ones… I wonder the Blue Wind Emperor has heard of the 'Primordial Profound Ark' before?"

"Primordial Profound Ark?" Cang Wanhe stared blankly for a bit. Then, a shocked expression appeared on his face as he lost his voice.

"Perhaps… the Primordial Profound Ark has already reappeared within the Divine Phoenix Empire?"

"Right! Half a month ago, the Primordial Profound Ark has reappeared above my Phoenix City. It is rumored that the Primordial Profound Ark contains heaven shocking treasures and world shocking secrets. At that time, nations that obtain the top 3 placings within the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament shall receive the right to collaboratively explore the Primordial Profound Ark. 

I believe that the Blue Wind Emperor, as well as this noble nation has quite a number of experts who definitely possess an extreme amount of interest towards this Primordial Profound Ark."

"We see. This truly is news that would extremely excite all experts of the world. With 13th Prince's honored identity, we didn't expect that 13th Prince would personally come here to deliver the invitation letter for the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament. 

In regards to such matters, your noble nation is indeed making too much a fuss over this, and had even made us somewhat anxious, hahahaha. Wanghai, why haven't you gone over there to receive the invitation card?"

"The Blue Wind Emperor seems to have misunderstood. The ranking tournament is only half of the reason why this humble one personally came over this time. As for the other half… is exactly your noble nation's newly promoted son-in-law… Dennell Jean.

On his body, lies a grave matter concerning my Divine Phoenix bloodline!!"
