Chapter 332: Nalan Yanran Emerges That Fool Xiao Yan Brings a Coffin
As the bride made her grand entrance, the laughter on the plaza grew even more vibrant. Countless people turned to Gu He, offering their congratulations with cupped hands. Even with her figure concealed beneath the ceremonial wedding dress, the bride's elegance and grace were unmistakable, stirring the hearts of many. The mere thought of what awaited that night made their imaginations run wild, and some men couldn't help but drool greedily at the scene.
To marry such a beautiful, noble, and outstanding woman even if the groom was Gu He was enough to make many men envious.
However, amidst the cheers, few noticed that the bride's steps were unnaturally stiff, almost as if she were a puppet being led forward.
Gu He accepted the congratulations with a warm smile, but as he approached his bride and glanced at her face hidden beneath the red veil his smile stiffened ever so slightly.
He gently took the ceremonial red silk from the maids, and under the watchful eyes of the entire sect, he slowly led his bride toward the wedding stage.
"Hehe~ Today, my beloved disciple is getting married, and all of you have traveled far to attend. Yun Lan Sect is truly grateful!"
Seated at the top of the wedding stage, Yun Shan beamed with joy, his voice carrying across the entire plaza as he addressed the guests.
Following his words, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
"Yun Yun, as my disciple, holds a high position within our sect. But Gu He's status and reputation make him a worthy match. This is truly a union of equals. Hahaha~~"
Yun Shan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, chuckling as he spoke.
Below the wedding stage, Gu He continued to accept congratulations with a smile, but every time he glanced at the bride who hadn't spoken a single word since appearing his smile faltered slightly.
"Today, in front of the Jia Ma Empire's strongest forces, I officially announce that my beloved disciple, Yun Yun, will be married to Gu He!"
Yun Shan's voice carried across the crowd, and the entire sect erupted in thunderous applause.
Hearing the overwhelming support, Gu He pushed aside his unease and let himself become fully immersed in the joy of marrying Yun Yun.
Yun Shan glanced at the sky, then waved his hand and declared loudly:
"The auspicious hour has arrived let the wedding ceremony begin!"
At that moment, Yun Lan Sect's celebratory atmosphere reached its peak.
But just then
"Swoosh!"
A piercing sword aura shot up from the rear mountain of Yun Lan Sect, slashing through the sky like a radiant arc of light!
A sharp, crystal clear sword cry reverberated through the entire sect, reaching every person present.
As the sword's cry rang out, a formidable aura suddenly erupted from the mountain!
"This energy…?"
The faces of Yun Lan Sect's members changed instantly as their eyes narrowed.
"That's the Young Sect Leader's presence!"
"She actually broke through the Gates of Life and Death?"
The sharp sword cry pierced the heavens, and in the next instant, a streak of dazzling sword light shot out from Yun Lan Sect's rear mountain.
Within mere seconds, a figure had arrived over the wedding plaza, standing high in the sky.
As the sword light faded, a tall and elegant woman emerged.
She wore a black dress, her long, silky black hair cascading down past her waist, hugging her slender yet curvaceous figure.
Her delicate eyebrows were shaped like fine brushstrokes, and her skin was as fair as snow. Though she appeared slightly thinner than before, it only enhanced the perfect sharpness of her features, making her even more striking.
The crowd fell into a stunned silence.
The woman had changed from the Nalan Yanran they once knew. She was no longer a young and naive girl instead, she radiated the aura of a true powerhouse.
Her sudden appearance drew all eyes toward her.
When Yun Shan and Gu He saw her, their expressions darkened with fury.
They had expected someone to interrupt the wedding.
But they had thought it would be Wu Tian leading an army not Nalan Yanran!
It was as if a hunter who had spent his life trapping birds had suddenly been blinded by his own prey.
Nalan Yanran swept her gaze across the festive decorations of Yun Lan Sect. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she muttered to herself:
"A wedding? Whose wedding?"
"Gu He, the Pill King? And the bride… is it my teacher?"
"Yanran, you've arrived at the perfect time! Today is truly a double blessing. Come down quickly and join the celebration!"
From his seat of honor, Yun Shan put on a warm, grandfatherly smile, beckoning her down.
Hearing his voice, Nalan Yanran turned toward him, finally noticing that the elder seated on the wedding stage was none other than her supposedly deceased great grandmaster, Yun Shan.
What was going on?
For a moment, Nalan Yanran was completely lost in confusion. But since her great grandmaster had spoken, she had no reason to refuse.
And since today was her teacher's wedding, as a disciple, she was obligated to give her congratulations.
With a slight flap of her battle wings, she swiftly descended, landing gracefully onto the wedding plaza. She bowed deeply toward Yun Shan.
"Disciple Nalan Yanran greets Great Grandmaster!"
Seeing that she had successfully broken through the Gates of Life and Death, Yun Shan was momentarily surprised.
But remembering that her father and grandfather had already sided with the enemy, he no longer considered her part of his own faction.
However, since this was a wedding, he chose not to act against her just yet.
He waved his hand, helping her up, and said kindly:
"There's no need for such formalities. Today is your teacher's happiest day. Since the auspicious time has arrived, please step aside and bear witness."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran nodded and respectfully stepped back.
Yun Shan, now satisfied, turned back to the audience and raised his sleeve with a smile.
"With Yanran here, she can bear witness to her teacher's marriage! Now, let the ceremony conti "
"Clang!"
Before he could finish his words, a loud metallic crash echoed from the plaza's entrance!
The crowd's eyes snapped toward the source of the noise and saw a massive black heavy ruler buried in the ground.
Golden flames flickered along its surface, making it look incredibly imposing.
"Hehe, Sect Master Yun Shan, why the rush?"
"Today, are you sure you're celebrating a wedding… or a funeral?"
As the black ruler crashed down, a dark figure appeared atop it.
A clear and confident voice echoed through the heavens.
At that moment, countless eyes shifted toward the newcomer.
Then came the murmurs:
"Who is this idiot standing on a big black thing, talking nonsense?"
"You're asking me? How would I know? Who in their right mind would crash Yun Lan Sect's wedding? Is he looking for death?"
"Definitely. Either he got dumped or never even got a chance with his crush. This guy's here to make a scene!"
"Yeah, clearly! Either he got cheated on, or the girl he liked never even noticed him. What a dumbass move!"
The young man on the black ruler visibly twitched upon hearing the crowd's discussions.
His grand entrance… was being interpreted as a pathetic, love struck fool's suicide attempt?
Fine. Time to raise the stakes.
A bright flash of light appeared from his ring, and suddenly
A massive black coffin slammed onto the ground before him!
"Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan has come… to deliver a coffin!"
