Venerable Yaoguang's Invitation

The banquet began shortly after the wedding ceremony. Shen Ge and his group were seated in a private room on the third floor, accompanied by Elder Wang, the same person they had met earlier.

Luo Heaven Sea's cultivator wedding was more like that of ordinary people, unlike in Heavenly South, where weddings might just involve inviting a few close friends to celebrate and announce the event, or even not holding any such ceremonies at all.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the door to the private room was pushed open, Gu Ye walked in with Miaoyin.

Miaoyin smiled and nodded to her friends, then raised her glass and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's rare that you could take the time to attend my wedding. I won't say thank you; it's all in the wine. Let's drink together."

After finishing one cup, Gu Ye also raised his glass and said, "Fellow Daoists, please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

After the two brothers-in-law toasted each other three times, Zhang Lingyu put down his wine cup and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, although today is your joyous day, I still need to make sure you're well taken care of. Don't think that just because Fairy Miaoyin has left Thousand Sounds Workshop you can bully her. We, her friends, are practically her family. You'd better think this over carefully."

"Even food can't shut you up, Brother Spirit Moon. Why don't you replace her with your daughter?" Fairy Miaoyin said with a laugh, clearly trying to save face for Gu Ye.

"I was trying to help you, if I had known you'd say that, I wouldn't have come," Zhang Lingyu said, pouting somewhat dejectedly.

At this moment, Gu Ye stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Zhang Household, don't worry. I went through a lot of trouble to win Miaoyin over; how could I possibly bully her?"

"Besides, given our current strength, it's already a good thing that she doesn't bully me."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, this won't do! You need to get moving! Miaoyin promised me she'd make me the godmother of her child, so you'd better hurry up!" Li Liu said with a sly look, though her voice was quite startling.

Miaoyin Yin's pretty face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence. She glared fiercely at Li Liu. How could she say such things in front of so many people? She should have said them in private! This crazy woman is infuriating!

Gu Ye coughed, somewhat overwhelmed, and quickly pulled Miaoyin towards the door.

"Gentlemen, the food is simple, please eat and drink well, don't mind it. We have to go somewhere else, so please excuse us."

After the two who had fled disappeared from sight, Zhang Lingyu turned to look at Li Liu beside him and clicked his tongue, saying, "I didn't realize our Fellow Daoist Li had such a bold side."

"Fatty Zhang, don't think I'm afraid of you just because your cultivation is stronger than mine. If you keep talking, go and build your family's formation yourself."

"No, no, no, I don't understand this. I was wrong, I won't say it again." Zhang Lingyu quickly waved her hand to admit her mistake, her attitude was extremely sincere.

After the banquet, Shen Ge intended to leave with Zhang Lingyu and the others, but Gu Ye stopped him. "Brother Shen, don't rush off, my great-grandfather is looking for you."

Zhang Lingyu patted Shen Ge on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go wait for you in your little courtyard first, don't take too long."

Shen Ge nodded, then turned and walked towards Gu Ye. The two of them arrived at a large hall in the core of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect.

Gu Ye took a deep breath and was about to knock when a strong voice came from inside. "Just push the door open and come in."

Upon entering the main hall, Shen Ge's first glance fell upon the old man sitting at the very top of the hall, before he noticed the people sitting on either side below.

There were quite a few people, ten in total, the weakest of whom was at the Middle Golden Core Stage.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, let me introduce you. These are people from the other major sects. Nowadays, there are representatives from every major sect that still exists in the Luo Heaven Sea," Venerable Yaoguang with a kind smile.

Shen Ge Venerable Yaoguang and asked, "May I ask what business you have with me, Venerable One?"

Although he had already guessed it, he still had to take it easy.

"No rush, no rush, Fellow Daoist Shen, please take a seat first."

After Shen Ge was seated, Venerable Yaoguang asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I heard you come from Heavenly South? Is that true?"

"Yes, I am indeed from Heavenly South." Shen Ge nodded, then added, "However, if Your Excellency is asking about the methods of the past, then I can only say that I do not know either."

"When I first came here, the array base over there had already been destroyed by my master. As for when it can be repaired, I have no idea."

"From what you're saying, fellow Daoist, does that mean the array base over there can be repaired again?" asked a Late Golden Core Stage from the Kaiyang Sect, somewhat anxiously.

Shen Ge calmly picked up the spiritual tea that had been prepared beforehand, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly, "Whether it can be restored is uncertain. If my grandmaster breaks through to the Spirit Severing Realm, then this formation will not be able to be restored. If he dies, then this formation will be restored."

Venerable Yaoguang frowned and said, "Judging from what Fellow Daoist Shen said, could it be that you were sent here because you have a grudge against your master?"

"A grudge, the kind that's irreconcilable." Shen Ge said with a chilling tone.

"This..."

The group of people present looked at each other, and for a moment, they were all speechless.

"However, my martial uncle probably won't be coming either. They should be repairing this formation, right?" Shen Ge said calmly.

"Your martial uncle?" A Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Tianquan Sect frowned, pondering for a while before asking, "Is your martial uncle the one who helped you last time?"

Shen Ge nodded and looked at the man, asking, "I was just about to ask you, where did my Uncle Shi go? He didn't have much lifespan left anyway. If he died at your hands, please return his belongings to me."

"Heh, you're getting cocky, aren't you!" The Late Golden Core Stage from the Tianquan Sect was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and looked ready to fight. "You killed so many of my sect's elders and you still want the relics back? Don't tell me we don't have them, even if we did, we wouldn't give them to you."

"Kid, you should be glad you're hiding on the territory of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect. We would have scattered your bones long ago."

Faced with this threat, Shen Ge calmly took a sip of tea. He had already discerned from their words that his martial uncle had not fallen into their hands.

However, there has been no news of him all these years. He has probably passed away peacefully. I wonder if he was able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Well!

"Boy, did Ji Ziyue instigate you to attack Ji Rufeng? What benefits did she give you to make you fight so desperately?" the man asked again.

Shen Ge slowly put down his teacup, and a faint Sword Qi pressed down on his opponent. "Have you forgotten that you're only in the Middle Golden Core Stage realm? If this weren't the Yaoguang Immortal Sect, I could crush you with one hand!"

"Alright, alright, what's all the noise about? You junior of the Tianquan Sect, if you keep making noise, I'll throw you out. Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? So rude!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, calm down. It's nothing to get angry about."

Venerable Yaoguang stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
