Chapter 137 – The Grand Ceremony

Overall, the number of people who came to observe the ceremony this time was quite large, surprising many bystanders who originally thought it would be a cold one.

Outside the door, the little demonesses daintily reported, “Cabinet of Curious Treasures’ Boss Lin has arrived!”

Someone had really come from the Zong Heng Dao, and it was Lin Dongsheng, the Grand Cabinet Master of the Pavilion of Curious Treasures that almost everyone in Ling Zhou City recognized. It was naturally clear to those who knew the inside story that those who could be the Grand Arranger in Spirit State City, where the power of the Zong Heng Dao was most concentrated, even though they weren’t Patriarchs, they were still Elders of real power, and their status in the Zong Heng Dao was very high.

No one knew why the Vertical and Horizontal Dao gave the Star Moon Sect so much face, only Lin Dongsheng himself knew clearly that the Star Moon Sect with Xue Mu was not the same as before, and the Vertical and Horizontal Dao would obviously have more and more places to cooperate with the Star Moon Sect. This group of treacherous merchants and the concepts of the families were not exactly the same but very similar, they would not recognize who the surname of the Spirit State was, they only cared about benefits, and Lin Dongsheng thought that Xue Mu could bring them benefits.

“Duke Zhang of the City East Zhang Family has arrived!”

“Duke Xie of the Xie Family from the east of the city has arrived!”

“Boss Wu of the Koufu Building has arrived!”

“Duke Xu of the Xu Family of Lingguang County has arrived!”

“……”

The one from the Zhang family was still Zhang Botao, he didn’t represent the Zongxiang Dao, he represented the Lingguang County family. Along with him came many other members of the lineage who had their interests tied to the Zhang family, as well as some of the other families and merchants who felt that the wind was worth watching because of their arrival.

What made people’s eyes pop out the most was that a blurry mass of figures quietly floated in from outside, and the sisters at the door didn’t even know that someone had come. No one could see his face clearly, but after standing, the terrifying killing intent emanating from his body shocked everyone.

The figure calmly spoke a congratulatory message, “This is our Demon Sect’s grand ceremony, Shadowwing wishes for the grand ceremony to go smoothly.”

The threatening intent was overflowing, almost as if he was explicitly saying that all the moves here should be put on brightly, and whoever dares to mess up, I will get whoever I want to die first.

“Really Shadow Wing!”

“This …… Lord of the Traceless Dao is personally present? Still clearly standing in line?”

“With Shadow Wing here, this ceremony is already specification enough, right!”

“Yes. …… There’s also Sheriff An, Boss Lin …… is lucky we came.”

The ones whispering were some small clans and small families, the kind that felt flattered when the little demonesses sent their invitations, the number of these people was actually quite large, forming the foundation of the jianghu of Spirit State.

Almost no one from the righteous sects as well as the imperial forces came, the only exception was the Mighty Tiger Sect who used to consider themselves under the Natural Sect, the Young Sect Master, Xin Gertai, entered with a big stride, and bowed to Xue Mu in a very solemn manner. Now he already knew that Zhuo Qingqing was sent by Xue Mu to relieve him that day, and that Xue Mu had mediated to waive his interest afterward.

Compared to the Natural Sect that had paid no attention to him, he naturally knew at this point who was worthy of his following.

Just when people thought that the composition of this spectacle was just like this, the sister at the entrance came in with an incredibly trembling voice:

“Ask, Ask Sword Sect, Miss Mu Jian Li has arrived!”

Boom!

The scene was a chaotic mess as countless people left their seats and rose, looking out of the martial arts arena in shock. Even Xue Mu on the stage stood up in shock and looked over incredulously.

Mu Jianli wasn’t wearing the uniform of the Questioning Sword Sect, but rather ordinary cloth clothes bought somewhere, clean and tidy. The flying light on her back was not far from her back, and her footsteps were firm, walking slowly step by step, with her signature sword aura and sharpness.

“Jian Li has come in a private capacity to congratulate Yan Yang on the grand ceremony of returning to the clan.” Mu Jianli looked straight at Xue Mu for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Xue Qingqiu and gave a slight salute, her voice was calm, but crisp and clear.

Xue Qingqiu maintained her bland demeanor, and God knows how much she wanted to look askance at Xue Mu’s side with her eyes, forcing herself to hold back, nodding her head and saying, “Jianli is polite.”

Xue Mu froze for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Mu Jianli didn’t answer and turned around decisively, and a female disciple of the Star Moon Sect dashed over to lead her to her seat.

Curry Night muttered and cooed, “Her flavor …… is very interesting ah ……”

Xue Mu hurriedly asked, “How?”

Curry Night shook her head, “I can’t tell the difference, Curry Night isn’t a roundworm in people’s stomachs ah, just like you are to Xiaochan, I can’t tell the difference ah ……”

Xue Mu got embarrassed and peeked at Xue Qingqiu, who was expressionless.

No matter what, with Mu Jianli’s participation, this time there are people from the top sects of both the righteous and the devil, not to mention Lingzhou, even if you look at the world, this is considered a top event. This is a secret game, the winner has been determined.

Originally, it could still be considered a draw, and others could say that it was just the devil’s gate shutting its doors to entertain itself. Once Mu Jian Li, a weight that no one expected, fell in, it almost tipped the scales. Even if she claimed that it was a private identity, it was obvious that no one would see it that way, the dazzling aura of the Questioning Sword Sect, one of the eight major sects of the righteous path, the only direct descendant of the sect master, the head of the ten righteous submerged dragons, and the famous Sword Immortal made it impossible for anyone to take off her private identity and look at it as such.

She wouldn’t be unaware of the consequences of this move, but she did it anyway.

Xue Mu really felt like he was in a trance seeing Lin Wu Ya, knowing that letting them both go would lead to the wrath of his fellow disciples, but he still did it. Master and disciple were truly carved from the same mold.

He shook his head to dispel the extra thoughts, walked to the center of the high platform, and shouted, “The auspicious time has come, Yan Yang returns to the clan, right now!”

The process of the ceremony itself had already lost its value, it was nothing more than Wen Hao leading a group of Yan Yang Sect elders to swear allegiance to the Star Moon, and to say that it was different from the ceremonies of other people’s families was that they had also expressed a bit of repentance for the split back then in passing.

But in everyone’s eyes, this ceremony was valuable. It represented that the Star Moon Sect had completely ended the turmoil of thirteen years ago and had returned to its peak, and not only that, they had completely turned from darkness to light.

Whether it was Department Six, the various clans, or Mu Jianli’s appearance, it all proved that the Star Moon Sect was completely able to cut off a side and had the capital to rule a city.

Xue Qingqiu stood up in the midst of the crowd’s attention, and just when people thought that she was going to make some impassioned declaration, they only saw her standing in front of the stage somewhat despondently, reaching out to caress something on her finger.

All of the people here were practicing martial arts, even the officials of Spirit State City were practicing, and their eyesight was quite good, and at a glance, they saw that what she was caressing was a ring with a flickering light.

“Regardless of what others think about the significance of this ceremony ……,” Xue Qingqiu spoke softly, uttering the only line that Xue Mu had explained to her, “In this seat’s heart, the true significance of this ceremony lies in the fact that this clan, after thirteen years, has It has finally returned to reunion and completeness. I am very happy.”

Zhang Botao watched her movements as she stroked the ring’s circle, savoring this line, and his complexion slowly became odd.

He could feel hundreds and thousands of gazes falling on Xue Qingqiu’s green jade finger, watching the ring sparkle.

Originally there was no significance, Xue Mu took advantage of the Yan Yang reentry and actually gave the ring a significance ……

Originally there was no fad, but when a super giant like Xue Qingqiu displayed it in public, could it not be a fad? –Just kidding, even Xue Qingqiu wears this thing, would it be wrong to learn it? Look how beautiful she looks! And she’s right, this interlocking ring is a symbol of reunion, isn’t it? It’s a good luck!

Zhang Botao can almost imagine after today Lingzhou City regardless of men and women will follow the trend to create a ring for themselves to wear the scene, there will be no suspense at all, more than a trend, maybe to form a frenzy!

And currently the only can make the ring will not be damaged and has the function of storage Zhang Botao, just based on this item can be rich, sell rings sold soft. From now on, this ring industry may even become the core industry of the entire Zhang family, and everything else can be thrown to the side…….

Is this the answer Xue Mu gave? Zhang Botao simply cried and laughed, but felt that it was really wonderful no matter how he thought about it.

Xue Mu looked at Zhang Botao’s expression that looked like he was crying and laughing, and in his heart he was also secretly laughing, this time you know what it means to be a superstar endorsement?

It’s not over yet, do you really think that this ceremony is just Yan Yang returning to the clan? That is just a small matter …… It is not easy to organize a grand ceremony, if you do not make the most of it, will you not be sorry for the audience?

Xue Mu dryly coughed twice to bring back the crowd’s attention from Xue Qingqiu’s fingers, and laughed, “In order to celebrate this clan’s reunion extravaganza, Mister Xue has invited Fairy Zither to play for all of you at great expense, and I thank you for your support in watching the ceremony.”

Countless sounds of chairs falling to the ground rang out, and almost all the men stood on their tiptoes and craned their necks to look at the high platform, and the scene was once again in chaos.
