Hulu Immortal City.
The city had gained many elite immortals, with immortals from various immortal lands converging here. Although things were still relatively quiet for the moment, an oppressive air clearly hung over the place. The sense of impending disaster made everyone restless, yet there was not the slightest joy one would expect with a wedding approaching.
The lanterns and decorations remained as they had been, but ironically, the entire immortal city utterly lacked the atmosphere of a wedding. There was still a day before the grand wedding, and most of those who had come were merely vanguards. As for the Immortal Venerables of the various immortal lands, only Qingli Yu had returned with us.
Qingli Yu had still been wearing a stern expression, but when he saw the scene before him, his brows drew together instead. "I heard long ago that Hulu Immortal City had made considerable achievements these days. I seem to have underestimated you. It looks like your Immortal Sect is already no weaker than those of any immortal land."
"Immortal Venerable Qingli, you flatter me." I smiled. Along the way, we had already made peace. Although Qingli Yu still had plenty of objections to me, after learning that the wedding was a ruse and that the true purpose was to lure the Immortal Venerables of the various immortal lands here to save the world, he was no longer as hostile toward me. He even occasionally exchanged a few courteous words with me.
The ones who came to welcome us at that moment were Sun Ke'er, Lord Taihua, Lord Mengxue, and the other immortals. Their brows all relaxed when they saw me, but the traces of wrinkles revealed how they had suffered through these past few days.
The news of the wedding had come from Six Paths.
