Chapter 1475: Taking Sides
The six experts were not only proficient in peak ninth-layer profound meaning power, but their application of profound meaning power was also extremely skilled. Silver armor covered their faces, leaving only a pair of icy eyes visible.
The silver-armored expert who controlled Earth Profound Meaning struck out with an ancient seal. This seal annihilated everything, crushing down from the sky, carrying a pure sense of heavy power, as swift and terrifying as a falling meteor, capable of blasting a hole through the earth.
The Space Profound Meaning controller slashed out with a Void Sword. Golden spatial threads converged into a sword, appearing and disappearing, flickering and erratic, as if it could pierce through the void and kill Lin Feng.
The Lightning Profound Meaning controller unleashed the Nine Heavens Thunder. Purple lightning bolts writhed like ten thousand snakes dancing, sealing off heaven and earth, exuding a violent and destructive aura. Darkness surged within the void, as if it were the color of cracks in nothingness.
Meanwhile, the Fast-Slow Profound Meaning controller applied the power of Fast Profound Meaning to the attacks of the other five, making their attacks faster and naturally more terrifying. When the earthen-yellow ancient seal fell from the void, streaks of light flashed through the air. The Void Sword slashed, causing space to hum. The Nine Heavens Thunder became even more ferocious and domineering.
Seeing this level of attack, the crowd broke out in cold sweat, as if they were sweating for Lin Feng. It was too powerful. Five peak ninth-layer profound meaning divine ability attacks descended, enhanced by peak ninth-layer Fast Profound Meaning, raising their power to another level. And Lin Feng's movements seemed to slow down. Could this really kill Lin Feng?
"Reincarnation!" Hou Qinglin roared coldly, his voice rolling like thunder. Reincarnation Profound Meaning twisted around those silver-armored youths, suddenly plunging them into intense pain.
At the same moment, Ruoxie also stepped into the air. Fast Profound Meaning was applied to Lin Feng, while Slow Profound Meaning descended upon the six experts attacking Lin Feng, canceling out much of the Fast-Slow Profound Meaning they had applied.
All of this happened in an instant. Feeling this terrifying pressure, Lin Feng activated the Exquisite Sacred Immortal Qi within him. Instantly, his handsome face took on an eerie, demonic aura, possessing a demonic beauty.
A layer of alternate space appeared in the void. Lin Feng's body seemed to sink into it, existing on a different plane from the space where the crowd was. In this completely different space, endless attacks struck him, colliding and intertwining before him, unleashing destructive power. The void exploded, and strands of dark, nothingness-like threads seeped out.
When Lin Feng reappeared from the alternate space, a blast of desolate storm still struck him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His body plummeted downward. The combined strike of these six was too terrifying, destroying everything. With peak ninth-layer profound meaning power and formidable cultivation realms—the lowest being at the eighth layer of the Venerable Martial Realm, with others at the ninth layer or peak ninth layer—their realms and profound meanings were synchronized. Now, they only needed to comprehend a thousandfold momentum power and evolve their profound meanings into laws to step into the Martial Emperor Realm. They were all closer to the imperial throne than Lin Feng.
But at this moment, Hou Qinglin, Tian Chi, and Ruoxie had all arrived, unleashing terrifying attack power to block the six who wanted to continue besieging Lin Feng, preventing their attacks from maintaining a continuous assault. If these six kept killing Lin Feng like the silver-spear expert earlier, Lin Feng would truly be unable to withstand it.
The six armored experts halted in the void, their cold eyes scanning Lin Feng and the others in the center. Their faces beneath the armor remained hidden, only a pair of icy pupils visible.
"Heavenly Terrace, are you deliberately trying to disrupt my wedding?" Qi Yan stepped forward slightly, speaking coldly. At this moment, Xue Biyao was beside him, her brow still furrowed. Her thoughts were now in chaos, as if she wanted to touch the depths of her memory—the damaged memories, the ones that seemed suddenly forgotten. What was going on?
"You had people try to kill me," Lin Feng said coldly, his eyes sweeping over Qi Yan below.
Qi Yan smiled, then said to Xue Biyao, "Biyao, why don't you go stand by Senior Dan Huang for a while? I'll handle things here."
"Alright," Xue Biyao nodded slightly. She felt some guilt toward Dan Huang because of what had just happened. Hearing Qi Yan's words, she had no objection. In her subconscious, she should trust her master more than Qi Yan.
After Xue Biyao left, Qi Yan lifted his gaze slightly, scanning Lin Feng and the others in the void. A hint of cold smile flickered in his eyes. Then, he slowly turned and walked to the table of the Envoy, apologizing with a smile, "Please forgive me, Envoy, and everyone else, for this spectacle."
"I'm just here to drink the wedding wine," the Envoy shrugged slightly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Indeed, he didn't need to get involved.
"Everyone, today someone wants to cause trouble at my Qi family's wedding. My Qi Kingdom is an empire, and the Qi family is a Martial Emperor force of the Eight Wastelands. How can we tolerate such humiliation? I may need to take some actions next. To avoid disturbing you all, you may move to the banquet tables on the left. I will set up a new feast there," Qi Emperor announced to the crowd.
At this moment, in the vast space, tables were indeed being set up again on the left.
Meanwhile, Eastern Emperor was chatting and laughing with the Envoy, personally guiding him to move to the left-side banquet, as if he didn't care about what was happening here at all.
"Is the Qi family really going to make a move against Heavenly Terrace, and on Qi Yan's wedding day?" The crowd's expressions tightened. Judging by Qi Emperor's posture, it didn't seem like a minor scuffle. He seemed to be getting serious.
Having people move to the left-side banquet was telling everyone: if you think this matter has nothing to do with you, please move. If you stay, it means you want to be involved.
"Heh, since someone came to cause trouble today, we naturally can't let them off," Sikong Martial Emperor said with a faint smile, then moved his steps toward the side.
"If you need any help, my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress can lend a hand to Qi Emperor," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said with a faint smile, rising and moving.
"Thank you, Heavenly Dragon Emperor," Qi Emperor replied politely with a smile. Many Martial Emperors and experts moved to the left-side banquet, watching with interest those who hadn't moved yet. The Qi family seemed intent on isolating some people, branding them as enemies of the Qi family, so the Qi family could deal with them all together.
"Wen Emperor, Heavenly Demon Emperor, Yu Emperor—they're all still sitting there, not moving. These few should protect Lin Feng and stand on the same side. Does the Qi family really dare to touch them?" the crowd thought. Besides these, Great Ape Emperor also hadn't moved.
"Eating on either side is the same. Why bother changing seats?" Yuan Fei's voice rolled like thunder, loud as a thunderclap.
"I also think there's no need for such trouble, to save Qi Emperor the preparation," Six Desires Martial Emperor said with a light smile, her beauty toppling cities, standing with Yiren Lei, as if she could bring calamity to all beings.
Quite a few people and forces stayed behind, mostly from the Eight Wastelands. Flame Mountain, Thunder Emperor Island, Savage Bull Mountain, Undying Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple, Perching Phoenix Mountain, and many other forces didn't move. Many laughed and said, "No need to trouble Qi Emperor!"
Seeing this, the crowd understood clearly. Those who moved were showing respect to the Qi family and Eastern Emperor, a kind of stance, leaning toward the Qi family and Eastern Emperor.
Those who didn't move meant they weren't willing to give Eastern Emperor face. They were all Martial Emperors in their own right; why should they be vassals to Eastern Emperor?
Though everyone wore smiles on their faces, they were already scheming, countless thoughts surging through their minds in an instant. Some had struggled and deliberated before making their decisions. Eastern Emperor was making them declare their positions.
"Envoy, I'll go handle things here," Eastern Emperor said to the Envoy with a slight smile.
"Please, don't stand on ceremony," the Envoy waved his hand, also smiling. Then, Eastern Emperor stood up and walked to the middle of the two sides, his eyes sweeping over the crowd with a faint smile. But deep in his eyes, a sharp light gleamed.
At this moment, everyone was even thinking: Could it be that Eastern Emperor had planned all along to use Qi Yan's wedding to divide everyone into factions?
Smiling lightly, Eastern Emperor lifted his foot and said to those who had moved, "Everyone, make yourselves at home!"
With that, he walked toward the other side, his smile gradually turning sharp!
