Chapter 324: A Wedding? Whose Wedding?
Wu Tian merely glanced at Nalan Jie and Nalan Su before losing interest entirely.
In his eyes, they were completely insignificant.
Useless parents, unable to guide their own children what good were they?
Neither supporting nor disciplining their daughter properly, they had left Nalan Yanran to be raised like a wild horse, which resulted in her arrogant personality.
Seated at the head of the hall, Wu Tian looked down at the gathered leaders and spoke in a calm yet commanding voice:
"The Yun Lan Sect is no longer what it once was. It is no longer an opponent you can handle."
"Everything you discussed earlier was meaningless."
"I have only one order for you: The Snake People Tribe will soon wage war against the Yun Lan Sect. You are forbidden from interfering but you must be there to witness it."
"Remember, this is not a request. It is an order. If any of you refuse, I will personally wipe you out."
Everyone was left stunned.
Just moments ago, they had been discussing fighting alongside the Snake People Tribe, believing it was a joint battle.
But now, Wu Tian was telling them they were only allowed to watch?
Before they could even process his words, Wu Tian suddenly grabbed Queen Medusa's cold and delicate hand
And the two of them vanished into thin air.
Their silent departure sent another wave of shock through the hall.
Not even a single trace of movement did this not mean that he could appear just as silently?
If he chose to strike, would any of them even be able to resist?
At that moment, they finally understood
This meeting had never been a discussion.
They were simply here to be given orders.
Their previous hopes of clinging to Wu Tian's leg now seemed utterly laughable.
You couldn't just grab onto a powerhouse's thigh.
And those thoughts of "alliances" and "negotiations"?
Utter nonsense.
Sitting at the head of the hall, Hai Bodong couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction.
"Hah! You fools thought you could talk terms with my lord? I, the great Ice Emperor, saw this coming long ago. Now you can all just sit there and stew in your regret! Hehehe~"
As the other leaders left in silent frustration, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma remained behind.
Looking at Hai Bodong's smug face, they sighed in resignation.
If they couldn't cling to Wu Tian, then at the very least, they could cling to Hai Bodong!
After all, as someone directly serving under a Dou Zun, Hai Bodong's own advancement to Dou Zong was practically guaranteed.
And if Hai Bodong became a Dou Zong, wouldn't their own breakthroughs be just around the corner?
Having made up their minds, the two old men grinned like wolves and turned to Hai Bodong:
"Hehehe~ Brother Hai, I've always admired your wisdom and strength…"
Just as the three old schemers were reminiscing and forging alliances
"REPORT !!!"
A loud voice rang out from the entrance.
Hai Bodong's eyes sharpened, and he turned toward the Mittel Clan disciple standing at the doorway.
"What is it?" he asked in a low voice.
The disciple bowed deeply.
"Elder Hai, intelligence from the Yun Lan Sect! Yun Shan is preparing to host a wedding!"
"A wedding???"
Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and Fa Ma were instantly shocked.
"Whose wedding is it?" Hai Bodong demanded, his pupils narrowing.
Surprisingly, the disciple shook his head.
"The intelligence didn't specify. It only stated that the Yun Lan Sect is planning a grand wedding. However, the identities of the bride and groom were not mentioned."
Hai Bodong's expression twitched uncontrollably.
A wedding announcement… without revealing the couple?
This was clearly intentional.
Yun Shan was up to something.
And whatever it was
It was big.
At the same time, the news spread rapidly throughout the Jia Ma Empire.
Every faction instantly recognized the Yun Lan Sect's tactic.
"Luring the snake out of its hole."
It was a classic trap, and the Yun Lan Sect had mastered it to perfection.
Each time they made a move, they used the same strategy.
And every time
It worked flawlessly.
Inside Wu Tian's residence, upon hearing the news, his expression darkened.
His eyes flickered with raging killing intent.
As someone who knew the original storyline, he immediately realized
The bride was undoubtedly Yun Yun.
Yun Shan was doing this on purpose.
This was not a wedding.
It was a declaration of war.
A cold and seductive voice whispered beside his ear:
"Yun Shan is hosting a wedding… The bride must be Yun Yun the woman you encountered in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Wu Tian turned to Queen Medusa, feeling slightly awkward.
Having a wife who knew everything about him was…
Well, it was a unique experience.
"Yeah."
He nodded without hesitation.
There was no point in hiding it.
Medusa already knew everything.
Even Wu Tian himself was fully aware of Yun Yun's feelings toward him.
And naturally
Medusa had been jealous all along.
Yet, to his surprise
This time, she showed no signs of jealousy.
Instead, she sat on their silken bed, gracefully crossing her long, porcelain legs, and said:
"That old bastard Yun Shan is undoubtedly using this 'wedding' as bait for us. But aside from that, I suspect he also intends to force Yun Yun to marry Gu He."
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Makes sense. Gu He is a sixth tier alchemist. Even Yun Shan would have to treat him with respect. By marrying Yun Yun to him, he ensures Gu He's permanent allegiance to the Yun Lan Sect."
Medusa gently rested her delicate chin on her hand, pondering aloud:
"Gu He has always had feelings for Yun Yun. However, as the former Sect Leader, she was too proud and preoccupied with her responsibilities to reciprocate. Anyone could see that his love was one sided."
"So this so called wedding is nothing more than Yun Shan's attempt to completely bind Gu He to the sect."
"With Gu He's devotion to Yun Yun, if this wedding actually takes place, he will undoubtedly become one of the Yun Lan Sect's most loyal hounds."
"That woman Yun Yun is not bad. She's deeply attached to you. Let's go save her together."
Wu Tian stared into Medusa's enchanting, serpentine eyes
And for the first time in a long while, he was completely overwhelmed.
A wife this understanding…
Where else could he possibly find another?
He had no words to describe the gratitude and affection swelling in his chest.
He could only express it in the purest way possible
By pulling her into his arms and showing her his "appreciation"… all night long.
While their "intimate training session" continued
The factions across the Jia Ma Empire were ablaze with speculation.
Back in the Mittel Clan's main hall
Hai Bodong sat at the head of the room, scanning the assembled leaders.
"The wedding is set for two days from now. What should we do?"
The room fell into a deep silence.
After a long pause, Jia Xingtian spoke first.
"If I had to guess… the groom is Gu He, and the bride is Yun Yun."
Fa Ma nodded in agreement.
"Yes. Gu He's love for Yun Yun is well known. But she has never shown any real interest in him."
"Yun Yun is a proud woman. She would never willingly marry someone she doesn't love. If Yun Shan is forcing this, he must be using extreme measures."
Another leader scoffed.
"Hmph! That old bastard Yun Shan is truly shameless, using his own disciple as bait to manipulate Gu He."
"Tch. That old geezer is getting worse and worse."
