Chapter 2721 - 2720: Marriage Disrupted

Chapter 2721: Chapter 2720: Marriage Disrupted

Princess Iron Fan held the wine but wasn’t in the mood to drink.

She was anxious to rescue her husband and wasn’t here for sightseeing or to attend a wedding.

She turned her head slightly and softly asked Long Fei, "When are we going to rescue my husband?"

Long Fei said calmly, "We’ve already found him, we’re just waiting for the right moment!"

Princess Iron Fan was relieved and took a small sip of her drink.

Long Fei glanced at the hall; the guests were seated at different tables, and some tables in the middle seemed to be reserved for the host and important guests.

Soon enough, the sound of gongs and ceremonial music approached from afar.

A group of people escorted a series of distinguished guests, among them a man of handsome build and noble demeanor.

He wore a Purple Gold Crown and a Golden Robe. With his hawk nose and phoenix eyes, even Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is this the host? He’s so handsome!"

Princess Iron Fan whispered, "He is the Peacock Bright King."

Lin Shanshan let out a sound of surprise and asked softly, "Isn’t Bright King a female deity? Why is he male?"

Princess Iron Fan laughed, "Long ago, Bright King consumed Shijia and Shijia was reborn from his belly, thus making him a mother of Buddha."

Lin Shanshan chuckled awkwardly, "I thought it was he who gave birth!"

Princess Iron Fan coughed dryly and joined in the laughter.

The Peacock Bright King seemed attracted by the laughter and intentionally looked over.

The two women felt this powerful presence and immediately shut their mouths and sat upright.

He was accompanied by a female Bodhisattva on one side and the Kunpeng Ancestor with figures of the Ancient Demon Clan on the other.

Behind him followed an equally handsome young man, the Little Peng King.

This host was greeting a clumsy monkey; who else but Sunx Wukong could it be?

Behind them were some top-ranking young demons, all renowned figures from the Western Cow Hee Continent.

The leaders of the Western Cow Hee Continent demons were basically all present.

They seemed much stronger than the Eastern demons.

Lin Shanshan secretly sent a message to Long Fei, "So Brother Monkey is here too?"

Long Fei replied, "Brother Monkey has deep ties with the Western Sect, and this is a demon gathering under the Western Sect, so of course he’s here!"

Lin Shanshan asked, "Then should we tell Brother Monkey about the Bull Demon King, since they’re sworn brothers?"

Long Fei shook his head, "No need, let’s not put him in a difficult position."

Both Lin Shanshan and Princess Iron Fan nodded.

Soon after, firecrackers sounded all around.

A ceremonial officer shouted out, "The bride and groom arrive!"

A group of people escorted a bride and groom each wearing bright red wedding robes.

The bride wore a veil, the groom with fiery hair, rugged and fierce-looking, with eyes shaped like inverted triangles, appeared rather sinister.

Lin Shanshan sighed, "Sister Kong Qing is marrying such an ugly man, it’s truly unworthy."

Princess Iron Fan lamented, "He looks alright, better than my Old Bull’s appearance."

Lin Shanshan chuckled and comforted Princess Iron Fan, "Men, appearance isn’t everything, it’s more important that they’re caring!"

"That’s true, and there aren’t many men as caring and handsome as Brother Long."

Princess Iron Fan gave Long Fei a meaningful glance, which made him shiver.

The two newlyweds entered the hall, where the Peacock Bright King and the big brother of the Ancient Demon Clan, Incompatible, sat above.

The ceremonial officer declared, "Bride and groom, first bow to the heavens and earth!"

The couple turned towards the outside of the hall and bowed.

"Second bow to the parents!"

They turned, just about to bow.

Kong Qing suddenly removed her veil, holding a needle against her neck.

The laughter in the hall abruptly stopped.

The Roc King shouted from behind, "Kong Qing, what are you doing?"

Kong Qing knelt down to the Peacock Bright King, pleading, "Bright King, I beg you to let me go! My heart already belongs to another, there’s no room for anyone else."

Incompatible and a group of Ancient Demon Clan members exchanged glances and said to the Peacock Bright King, "Bright King, what is this about?"

The Peacock Bright King’s hand slammed heavily on the armrest, and he rebuked Kong Qing, "Qing’er, are you determined to disgrace the Ancestor today?"

Kong Qing shook her head and cried, "I never intended to offend the Ancestor. If he does not agree, I’ll die here today."

The needle in her hand went lower, immediately piercing her neck and making the blood start to flow.

Gui Che swiftly seized her wrist coldly, "Listen up, from the moment you entered, you became my woman. Your life no longer belongs to you but to me, Gui Che. You want to die, you need my approval!"

Kong Qing’s expression was icy, her eyes resolute, "I would rather die than marry you!"

A blue light burst from her, shaking off Gui Che’s grasp as she fled from the hall.

The tables and chairs around were shattered into pieces by the force.

The guests quickly retreated, bewildered and at a loss.

Sunx Wukong scratched his head and laughed, "This girl has quite a fiery temper!"

The Peacock Bright King’s face turned grim, remaining silently in place.

Incompatible said to him darkly, "Bright King, you need to give an explanation!"

The Peacock Bright King and the Roc King commanded coldly, "Let her be!"

The Roc King nodded and slipped out.

Kong Qing was in mid-air fighting Gui Che, when suddenly a burst of golden light erupted, a resounding bang, and she was suddenly forced downwards, crashing heavily to the ground.

The hard floor tiles shattered, Kong Qing crushed under the Roc King’s foot, bleeding from her mouth.

Gui Che shouted angrily from behind, "Roc King, that’s my wife, get your foot off her now!"

The Roc King retorted coldly, "She’s from Peacock City, anyone who meddles will be killed!"

"How dare you!"

Gui Che wasn’t about to let this young one go and was ready to act when Incompatible gave a couple of coughs.

Gui Che clenched his fist, looking back at Incompatible and the Ancient Demon Clan leaders like Bai Ze, and stopped.

The Roc King stared at Kong Qing and asked coldly, "The man in your heart, is it that Eastern Emperor?"

"None of your business!"

Kong Qing glared and snorted, her aura already sealed by the Roc King.

The Roc King sneered, "You know he bears a grudge against Peacock City, yet you think of him? Now look at you, where is he? Has he ever cared for you? You thankless thing, you deserve to die!"

His right hand formed a claw, lunging for Kong Qing’s heart.

Kong Qing closed her eyes, ready to meet death.

In the hall, Ma Yuan couldn’t help but shout out, "Don’t harm the heart, it’ll spoil the taste."

The Roc King’s claw halted, suddenly grabbed by another hand.

Everyone in attendance was shocked that someone would intervene so suddenly, especially in matters related to Peacock City.

"A tall, strapping man like you bullying a helpless woman, is that really right?"

This person spoke softly to the Roc King.

"So you came after all!"

The Roc King’s eyes glowed red, as if he’d been expecting the man, and a Feather Sword suddenly swung into the air, slashing upward from under the man’s arm.
