A great battle loomed, each with their own designs

Gu Yuanqing's Split Soul contained all kinds of Dao Resonance. Even though it was only a Split Soul, the change in his thoughts altered the atmosphere of the Outer Realm, and the entire hall seemed to suddenly turn cold.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. Chen Binglan, under the veil, paused, wondering if she had done something wrong.

Li Shi'an, who was standing to the side, and Xu Lianying, who was holding tea, were also startled and did not understand what had happened.

Li Chengyi hurriedly asked, "Father, what happened?"

Gu Yuanqing snapped out of her daze and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm sorry for scaring you."

With his smile, the icy atmosphere in the hall vanished instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengyi knew something must have happened, but his father didn't want to say more on his wedding day. He turned to look at Chen Binglan and saw that she was still in shock. He gently took her hand and pulled it.

Xu Lianying bent down and said softly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please serve tea first."

"Father, please have some tea."

Li Chengyi knelt on the ground, picked up the teacup, and handed it to Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of tea and handed it back.

Li Chengyi took it and placed it back on the tea tray that Xu Lianying was holding.

Chen Binglan then served another cup of tea.

"Father, please have some tea."

Gu Yuanqing smiled, took the cup, sipped it, and handed it back.

After Chen Binglan handed the teacup to Xu Lianying, Gu Yuanqing took out the gift he had prepared beforehand.

"These dragon and phoenix pendants were crafted by my own hands. They are very beneficial for cultivation and also have protective properties. You two should keep them safe."

Li Chengyi accepted it with a smile; it must be something good given by his father on his wedding day.

Chen Binglan accepted it with both hands. He still didn't know Gu Yuanqing's exact identity, but he knew from Li Chengyi's expression that this was no ordinary item.

Gu Yuanqing then pointed to two points in the Void and, through telepathy, explained the method of use to the two of them.

Chen Binglan was shocked by the sudden influx of information into her mind, and only then did she realize that the father in front of her was no ordinary person.

The newlyweds kowtowed on the ground.

"Get up, all of you."

Gu Yuanqing smiled broadly.

After the two stood up, he continued, "I am very pleased that you two are now married. Cheng Yi, from this day forward you are considered an adult. Now that you have married Binglan, you must treat her well."

Li Chengyi said, "Father, rest assured, Binglan and I are mutually in love, and I will never change my mind."

Gu Yuanqing then smiled at Chen Binglan and said, "If he ever does anything wrong in the future, just tell me, and I'll back you up. Even if he becomes emperor, I'll still teach him a lesson without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Binglan glanced at Li Chengyi, then gave a graceful bow. "Thank you, Father."

Li Chengyi chuckled and remained silent. Although he was the Heir Apparent, he had spent a lot of time with Gu Yuanqing and received his guidance, making Taiyi from ordinary people in the Floating World. His marriage to Chen Binglan was not a royal alliance, but rather a genuine expression of his love.

Gu Yuanqing handed over several bottles of Restoration Pill.

"These Restoration Pill are suitable for your cultivation; please take them."

The two accepted the gift and thanked them again.

Gu Yuanqing added, "Especially Cheng Yi, no matter how busy you are with court affairs, you must not neglect your cultivation."

Li Chengyi repeatedly assured him that he knew his father cared deeply about his spiritual practice.

Gu Yuanqing then stood up. "I have some matters to attend to today, so I won't stay here any longer."

Li Chengyi quickly asked, "Father, has something serious happened?"

Gu Yuanqing laughed heartily and said, "With your father here, what major thing could happen? You don't need to worry."

Seeing Gu Yuanqing's expression, Li Chengyi was relieved and bowed, saying, "Then please go ahead, Father. After this matter is settled, I will bring Binglan to the Mountain to pay my respects."

Chen Binglan also bowed.

Gu Yuanqing nodded, smiled slightly, and then vanished into thin air.

Xu Lianying reminded him, "Your Highness, the court officials are still waiting for you at the banquet."

Chen Binglan was even more astonished when she saw Gu Yuanqing suddenly disappear. She looked at Li Chengyi, with too many questions on her mind.

Li Chengyi returned the Restoration Pill to his Storage Bag, took Chen Binglan's hand, and gently patted it. "I will explain these things to you in detail later. However, Binglan, you must not mention my father's matter to any outsider."

Chen Binglan nodded.

After the two left, Li Chengyi escorted Binglan into the bridal chamber and then returned to the banquet.

In the North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing looked at the Puppet Jade Token in his hand, withdrew his Divine Sense from it, and the smile on his face faded.

He looked into the Demon Realm, his eyes turning cold.

His son's wedding was a joyous occasion, and he already felt it was inappropriate to go in his Avatar. But these people and demons were so tactless, completely ruining his mood for the day.

Dark Clouds shrouded the Demon Realm.

Several Void Heaven Demon Race stood in eight directions, and a huge Formation Disk floated in mid-air, covering the entire area within a hundred miles around North Spring Mountain.

On the ground, Blue-Black Flame burned fiercely, scorching the Void and causing ripples to appear.

A Gale swept through, turning rocks and trees to dust. Countless Demon Beast that had not yet escaped let out mournful cries before being torn to pieces.

The torrential rain poured down, hissing and spewing Black Smoke as it fell into the fire.

In the distance, two Celestial Person from the Iron Eater Tribe, Xiong Mo and Xiong Ba, stood tall in the air.

Xiong Mo's voice was low and menacing.

"Zhu Yi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

A man with emerald green eyes, an ugly face, and two fangs protruding from his mouth stood in the air, cackling, "What do you intend to do? Naturally, I'm seeking justice for the Demon Race. Your Iron Eater Tribe is Demon Race, yet you protect the Human Race, betraying your own kind. I can no longer stand by and watch."

"Our race has always been neutral and has never participated in the Human-Demon War. I advise you to leave and not make a mistake for yourself; otherwise, I will have no choice but to unleash a massacre!"

The Moon Demon of Five Poisons Mountain shrieked, "Hand over the Human Race! This man killed several Void Heaven Great Demon of my Five Poisons Mountain, making him an enemy of the Demon Race race. Yet your Iron Eater Tribe shelters him in your territory, claiming you won't participate in the human-demon conflict. I think it's clearly your Iron Eater Tribe allied with the Human Race, preparing to betray the Demon Race!"

"That's right, hand over the Human Race, or we will have no choice but to disregard the Alliance Pact with the Demon Race."

"Simply handing them over isn't enough. My Five Poisons Mountain has lost several Great Demon, and the Iron Eater Tribe must compensate for their losses!"

Xiong Ba roared, "You demons from Five Poisons Mountain trespassed into my clan's territory and lost your lives. What does that have to do with my clan?"

The demon, who had transformed into human form and was ugly in appearance, named Zhu Yi Demon Race, laughed loudly, "The Great Demon of Five Poisons Mountain was ultimately killed by the Human Race on your territory, yet you still kept it within your territory. That is where your Iron Eater Tribe is wrong. I don't think Five Poisons Mountain's demands are excessive. Hand over the Human Race and compensate with the Ten Directions Five Colors Demonic Spirit Jade Paste, and I will decide not to pursue this matter any further."

Xiong Ba, already clad in Battle Armor and engulfed in raging demonic Demonic Flame, roared, "Wishful thinking! If you want to fight, then fight! My Iron Eater Tribe has never been afraid!"

Xiong Mo coldly stared at the Demon Race before him and said, "You want the Five-Colored Demon Spirit Jade Pulp? You'll have to trade your life for it. It seems my Iron Eater Tribe has been dormant for too long; they dare to clamor over just anything."

In the distance, on the edge of the Iron Eater Tribe's territory, Ji Xian stood in the Void. Although it was an internal strife among the Demon Race, who knew if they might turn around and attack the Human Race? We had to be on guard.

The three Divine General of the Three Heavenly Humans Sacred Hall, Tian Ying, Tian Wei, Tian Xian, also stood behind him.

Beside him, Chang Beilong also quietly watched ahead. After waiting for so long, he had finally witnessed these Demon Race attacking the Iron Eater Tribe. He had to seize this opportunity.

Ji Xian glanced back at Chang Beilong and said calmly, "Sword Master Chang, I know you may have some grudges with the Human Race from the Outer Realm, but you are not allowed to make a move without my order."
