Chapter 149 - 117: Wedding Night, Bombshell

Chapter 149: Chapter 117: Wedding Night, Bombshell

「The next morning.」

A messenger departed from Hua Mansion, bound for Jiangzhou City.

Lu Changfeng was getting married as himself this time, so naturally, there was no need for great fanfare.

He only planned to invite his people from Jiangzhou to the wedding.

The messenger left by boat.

A little over a day later, he arrived in Jiang City.

He found the Changle Martial Arts Hall on Five Horses Street and personally delivered the envelope into Chunzhu’s hands.

Having managed the Martial Arts Hall for Lu Changfeng for many years, Chunzhu had developed an air of sharp competence.

But the moment she tore open the envelope and read the letter, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth, her eyes welling with tears.

"Chunzhu, what’s wrong?"

"Did something happen to the Hall Master? No, that can’t be right. The Saint Demon Sect is making a huge splash in Yunyang Prefecture right now."

Teng Xiaofan, who was standing to the side, shot to his feet.

Teng Xiaofan, Sikong Jue, and the others had, of course, long known about Lu Changfeng’s identity as the Saint Demon Sect Master.

Recently, they had often received news of the Saint Demon Sect Master conquering territory after territory in Yunyang Prefecture.

While they secretly admired Lu Changfeng, they also became increasingly low-key.

This was Jiangzhou, the main stronghold of the Righteous Dao in Jiangnan Prefecture. If word got out that the Changle Martial Arts Hall was opened by the Saint Master, they feared troublemakers would come looking for major problems.

"It’s nothing. I’m just so happy. Changfeng is finally going to marry me," Chunzhu said with a tearful smile, waving the letter.

Teng Xiaofan took the letter just as Zhisha, having heard the commotion, rushed over.

After reading the letter, they both understood that Lu Changfeng was truly getting married in Qin City.

Chunzhu had already composed herself and reverted to her capable demeanor. "Little Feng, Zhisha, go inform Senior Brother Zhou Feng and Sikong Jue. We’re leaving for Qin City immediately."

"Understood!"

Teng Xiaofan and Zhisha departed on their separate tasks. Before long, Sikong Jue and Senior Brother Zhou Feng arrived.

Following Lu Changfeng’s instructions in the letter, Chunzhu made arrangements for the Martial Arts Hall and the still-forming Sword Killing Demon Sect.

The Changle Martial Arts Hall’s property was to be sold and its disciples disbanded.

Those willing to follow them to Qin City could go with them.

In the end, only one True Disciple, Han Fan, was willing to head north with Lu Changfeng.

All the other disciples were unwilling to leave Jiangzhou.

This was understandable. Most of them had family in Jiangzhou, and besides, Qin City was two whole levels below Jiangzhou in terms of prosperity.

Naturally, no one wanted to leave Jiangzhou for Qin City.

In his capacity as Saint Master, Lu Changfeng had ordered the nascent Sword Killing Demon Sect to move north as well. As a subordinate force of the Saint Demon Sect, they had no room to refuse.

Lu Changfeng had found a prime location between Jia City and Qin City where the Sword Killing Demon Sect could establish its headquarters.

In the initial stages, the combined provisions from Jia City and Qin City would be enough for the Sword Killing Demon Sect to grow quickly.

At a dock in Jiangzhou, a series of nondescript passenger ships set off for the north.

「Two days later.」

Chunzhu and her group had arrived outside the gates of Qin City.

Lu Changfeng, having received word of their arrival, was already waiting outside the city gates. The moment Chunzhu saw him, she instinctively broke into a run and threw herself into his arms.

"You’re finally willing to marry me, even if it’s because of another woman," Chunzhu whispered in Lu Changfeng’s embrace.

"But I’m just happy that you’re marrying me at all."

"Besides, I know you’re not doing this entirely for her."

After being with him for so many years, it was Chunzhu who understood Lu Changfeng best.

Only when a marriage could bring him substantial benefits would Lu Changfeng let down his guard and pocket the gains.

Chunzhu pulled away from Lu Changfeng’s embrace and looked toward Hua Yiran, who was standing to one side.

Hua Yiran was naturally a little jealous, but wanting to appear magnanimous, she had given Chunzhu her moment.

The moment their eyes met, the two women smiled at each other. Clearly, their first impressions were good.

Lu Changfeng then turned to Teng Xiaofan, Sikong Jue, and the others, introducing them to Bai Touweng and vice versa.

This made the three of them feel an even stronger sense of urgency.

As Lu Changfeng’s power grew, those at the Tendon Transformation Realm or even the Bone Refining Realm could no longer provide him with much help.

Only those at the Rebirth Realm could be of significant assistance.

As Protectors, Sikong Jue and Teng Xiaofan naturally felt an increased urgency to raise their strength.

Zhou Feng and his wife were the only ones who didn’t know Lu Changfeng’s true identity, and they were also the only ones who could be considered his family.

Zhou Feng, who had practically watched Lu Changfeng grow up, could never have imagined that his junior brother’s other identity was the renowned and powerful Saint Demon Sect Master of Yunyang Prefecture.

"After you broke through to the Tendon Transformation Realm, you kid just holed yourself up in seclusion all day! I couldn’t even find you at the Martial Arts Hall. And now you’ve run off to Qin City!" Zhou Feng clapped Lu Changfeng on the shoulder, his tone slightly complaining.

"My apologies, Senior Brother. It’s because of the Cultivation Technique I practice. After Tendon Transformation, I have to go out and gain experience to increase my cultivation more quickly," Lu Changfeng said, telling a white lie.

’As for the news about me being the Saint Demon Sect Master, it’s better that he doesn’t find out.’

’In a little while, my main identity is going to drop the bombshell that I’m from the Saint Demon Sect’s Ninth Demon Sect. I hope my Senior Brother will be able to handle it then.’

’Coming from a Martial Arts Hall, Zhou Feng still considers himself a Martial Artist of the Righteous Dao at heart.’

’But in these chaotic times, is there truly such a clear line between the Righteous Dao and the Demon Dao?’

’People who have lived in peaceful times for too long tend to see the divisions created by the Noble Families as black and white, but in reality, this world isn’t so simple.’

’The switch from one to the other can happen in an instant.’

The Hua Family sent people to welcome Lu Changfeng’s few friends and family into the Hua Mansion to stay.

Hua Yuelou knew some things couldn’t be delayed, so he picked a date just three days away.
