Chapter 709: Chapter 542: Mysterious Wedding, Crown Prince of the Mechanical Sea
“Pfft!” Snow Woman and Lei Xiao burst into laughter at once.
It was hard for them not to laugh looking at the sight of Bifang in front of them.
The contrast was too stark.
Just a moment ago, he was so ready to face death with disdain in his eyes.
But now, he was kneeling before Xu Gu, his face full of flattery.
Xu Gu, however, had no particular reaction.
He was well aware of the power of the Battle Instrument, so Bifang’s behavior was only to be expected.
He inquired some internal intelligence about the Divine Court.
“Those Ancestor Gods have also revived, only they all went into hiding, striking towards the God Realm.
“And there are quite a few Divine Kings like the Cow Divine King who sealed themselves.”
Xu Gu’s brows slightly raised: “This Divine Court really is not simple.”
He casually transmitted this information, informing Champion Marquis and other seniors.
Then, the corners of Xu Gu’s mouth lifted when he received a surprising message:
“This is interesting. The Sword-man Clan is actually holding a grand wedding. The bride turns out to be Ning Chen, the legitimate daughter of the Sword-man Clan.”
“Ah?”
Ning Chen, who was serving beside Xu Gu, was immediately startled and very shocked:
“I’m getting married? Why don’t I know about this?”
Bifang carefully glanced at Ning Chen, then said to Xu Gu:
“We are not clear about this either, however, the territory of the Sword-man Clan was originally delaying time by fleeing, and after a while, they stopped.
“Then, they started preparing to organize the wedding.
“Both the groom and bride have been decided. The bride is Ms. Ning Chen, and the groom seems to be a Crown Prince from the Mechanical Sea. It seems they are all in the Sword-man Clan.
“This piece of news, I believe, will soon spread throughout the entire universe.”
The somewhat weak Bifang serpent nodded in confirmation.
Then, he turned to look at Ning Chen, also showing surprise:
“Ms. Ning Chen, how come you are here?”
“This…”
Not just Ning Chen, but Snow Woman and Lei Xiao were also bewildered.
What kind of situation was this?
A wedding without the bride?
Or did they calculate that their master would bring Ning Chen to cause trouble with the Sword-man Clan, confident in capturing Ning Chen and then opportunistically holding the wedding?
That was way too arrogant!
Did they really think that because their master was young, he would be easy to deal with?
Or was it definitely because the Human Clan had been too low-key for a thousand years, they were not considered powerful anymore?
“Someone must have impersonated Ning Chen.”
After a long silence, Xu Gu voiced his speculation:
“If the bride was captured, the first course of action, of course, would be to bring the bride back, and then preparing for the wedding.
“Only if a powerful figure from a certain force disguised themselves as Ning Chen and returned to the Sword-man Clan territory ahead of time, brokering a marriage alliance with a major power from the Mechanical Sea, then the Sword-man Clan would be in such a rush to hold the wedding.”
“Then…”
Ning Chen was a bit at a loss, this kind of situation was very troublesome for her.
Who gets married while being impersonated!
Her reputation would be ruined!
“You two go back to the Divine Court and act as undercover agents. Say that I used a treasure of the Human Clan to injure you both, and that the treasure can no longer be used.”
Xu Gu instructed Bifang and the Bifang serpent.
“Okay!”
Without a second thought, they agreed straight away.
They both were the absolute confidants of the Beast God, being undercover was more than suitable.
“Let’s get going as well.”
“”
Xu Gu said to Ning Chen and the others, “Since they are counting on us not to make it to the wedding, let’s speed up and get there ahead of time.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
Ning Chen’s eyes shimmered with admiration and emotion.
Xu Gu was doing this entirely for her sake!
From Bifang’s mouth, he had already found out the location where the Sword-man Clan was holding the alliance marriage feast.
In the southeast direction of the Divine Domain Continent, it was in the middle of a star system, a territory of the Poison Dragon Clan.
“Sword-man Clan, Poison Dragon Clan, are you planning to go to your deaths together?”
Xu Gu’s tone was ice cold, “And that race from the Mechanical Sea as well.”
…
Longrui Star.
A star within the Poison Dragon Clan’s territory that is rare for its lack of Poison Mist and has an exceptionally favorable environment.
The energy density here is astonishing, with energy particles in the air condensing into liquid droplets.
They say even a pig, on this star, could transform into a dragon.
Hence, it was named Longrui Star.
But even so, there are no powerhouses or exceptional talents who dare to act recklessly on this star.
Simply because it is the territory of the Poison Dragon Clan.
As one of the four great public superpowers on the Divine Domain Continent, the Poison Dragon Clan’s reputation naturally needs no elaboration.
Even though most descendants of the inheritors from the Divine Era are in the Divine Court and do not often show themselves, the Poison Dragon Clan doesn’t have many seats in the Divine Court.
But their foundation is still far more terrifying than other forces on the Divine Domain Continent.
Moreover, among the four superpowers, the Poison Dragon Clan is one of the top-ranked.
No one dares to act rashly.
Especially today on Longrui Star, the Sword-man Clan is stationed here, holding a wedding banquet for the legitimate daughter Ning Chen and a Crown Prince from the Mechanical Sea.
This feast has caught the attention of countless powerful beings.
Who doesn’t know that Xu Gu, the most prominent figure in the universe right now, is planning to ‘visit’ the Sword-man Clan?
Holding the wedding banquet at this time has some special intentions.
And the two getting married, one is the far-famed beautiful Ning Chen!
Her fame rivals the only previous Goddess, Xingye Huan.
Equal in renown to Huang Jiutian of the Nine Heavens!
The other is a Crown Prince from the Mechanical Sea.
The Mechanical Sea, the current number one power in the universe, would have had dozens of Gods if not banished a millennium ago by Yang Gods and other Gods of the Human Clan!
For a millennium, which is merely a blink of an eye for Gods or even for some cosmic behemoths.
The countdown to the return of Gods has already begun.
Which force would dare to disrespect the Mechanical Sea?
Moreover, even without a God to protect it, the Mechanical Sea’s foundation is still terrifying to the extreme!
A being that can be called a Prince of the Mechanical Sea surely has an incredibly high status.
This alliance marriage is something that all beings can only envy.
Female beings want to marry that mysterious Prince of the Mechanical Sea.
While male beings wish to take Ning Chen, who is a peerless beauty, as their wife.
But, this also made many powerhouses somewhat puzzled.
“I seem to have heard that Ning Chen was captured by Xu Gu. How come she’s suddenly getting into an alliance marriage with a Prince from the Mechanical Sea?”
“You’re behind on the news. Miss Ning Chen escaped on her own. Apparently, it was that Prince from the Mechanical Sea who rescued her.”
“Ah? But even so. Didn’t Miss Ning Chen spend some time captured by Xu Gu?
“You should know that Xu Gu is driven by lust! It is said that in just under two years, he has taken in dozens of stunning beauties!
“Even the Goddess Xingye Huan of the Star God Clan and Huang Jiutian, the Eldest Princess of the Northern Alliance, are his maids!”
“Then… isn’t Miss Ning Chen…”
Some powerhouses and talents discussed in gossip on their way to Longrui Star to attend the feast.
“Hush! You dare to speak of such things? Are you out of your mind? The Prince from the Mechanical Sea hasn’t said anything, who are you to worry?” some powerhouses cautioned.
