The three clan leaders-Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Primordial Qilin-arrived almost simultaneously.
Ancestral Dragon wore a black ceremonial robe, his Dragon Might restrained around him, with Ao Yuan and several other direct-line members of the Dragon Clan following behind.
Yuanfeng wore a crimson-gold ceremonial gown, Nirvana Fire flickering faintly around her, with Azure Luan and Fire Phoenix standing to either side.
Primordial Qilin wore an earthen-yellow ceremonial robe, followed by Mo Yu and other members of the Qilin Clan's younger generation.
The three clan leaders nodded in greeting upon meeting. They exchanged few pleasantries, but their tacit understanding needed no words.
Di Jun personally stepped forward to welcome the three clan leaders. Ancestral Dragon offered congratulations with a meaningful smile and a cupped-fist salute, while Yuanfeng said only, "Congratulations."
Primordial Qilin was the most direct. "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, the Qilin Clan has come expressly to congratulate you on your joyous Heavenly Marriage."
Di Jun returned their greetings one by one and ordered Kunpeng to escort the three to their seats personally.
Jieyin and Zhunti arrived next.
Both wore gray monk's robes, their palms pressed together as they bowed slightly to Di Jun.
Jieyin's voice remained steady and kindly. "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, Mount Sumeru has come expressly to congratulate you on your joyous Heavenly Marriage."
Di Jun returned the greeting, and Baize personally escorted Jieyin and Zhunti to their seats.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun followed close behind. Hong Yun laughed heartily, cupping his fists toward Di Jun from afar.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, congratulations on your Heavenly Marriage! I have nothing particularly fine, so I brought a few Ginseng Fruits for you to enjoy!"
Zhen Yuanzi offered his congratulations in a deep voice, and Di Jun returned their greetings with a smile.
Minghe was the last to arrive. He
