Chapter 1074: The Three Giants Show Off Their Wealth, Blood-Clothed Fury
Happy had long known through World One three years later about the cooperation between the Wild Wolf Organization and Yipin Hall, but the high-ranking members of the Mu Family were unaware of it.
While on their way from Manduo Villa to the back mountains, Happy and his group received this shocking news from urgent messages sent by the Tongue-Teller!
The group immediately stopped moving. Silver Fox, Thunder Battle, Tyrant Dragon, Phoenix Dance in Color, and the others all showed expressions of intense anger.
“Hmph! Yipin Hall truly has ulterior motives.”
“They’re planning to disrupt Happy’s wedding this time. What do you all think?”
“What else can we do? Capture all of them—Yipin Hall members and Wild Wolf members alike! We must prevent them from interfering with the wedding at any cost.” Xiao Bei’s reaction was the most violent and direct. If not for Happy’s presence, he might have already ordered his men to kill them.
At that moment, Black Rose unexpectedly interjected to remind everyone:
“Mengyun is smart. She knows our Mu Family’s strength isn’t enough to extend to battlefields beyond the Central Plains. Also, knowing we’ve been dealing with the Wild Wolf Organization lately, she probably plans to take advantage of this opportunity to keep us entangled with them indefinitely, or divert our attention abroad and ignore Yipin Hall.”
“…”
The group fell silent.
“We were able to get this information thanks to the Tongue-Teller’s lip-reading skills. Otherwise, if it were just the Wild Wolf Organization acting, Yipin Hall could easily wash its hands of it!”
“That’s true.”
“But right now, based solely on surface appearances, we actually don’t have a valid reason to attack the Western Regions… This time, Yipin Hall sent its two vice leaders, Blood-Clothed and Desolate Murder, with gifts to congratulate our family head on his wedding. As the most powerful and victorious faction in the Central Plains, we must show some tolerance and grace… Otherwise, other gangs in the Central Plains will think we lack magnanimity and can’t tolerate others.”
“But now that we know Yipin Hall is colluding with the Wild Wolf Organization to disrupt the wedding, are we supposed to do nothing? Let them act recklessly?”
“Nonsense. Even if you agreed, we wouldn’t.” Black Rose made Xiao Bei struggle, then paused and said, “But after all, the Wild Wolf Organization isn’t very large, and most of their top experts are abroad and can’t enter the country. There’s very little we can do at the wedding… I’m afraid Wild Wolf’s coming here is just a partnership with Meng Yun—to provoke us with a bunch of wretches and divert our attention from the Western Regions to abroad… to give Yipin Tang time and opportunity to recover and build strength. Why not take advantage of this chance…” As she spoke, Black Rose’s tone shifted as she turned to Kai Xin and said, “To completely eliminate Yipin Tang as a problem?”
It had to be said that Black Rose’s idea coincided perfectly with what Kai Xin was thinking…
Kai Xin had been pondering how to use methods and excuses to break through Meng Yun’s plan and destroy Yipin Tang outright, so as not to leave them any room for growth or opportunity, which could make things more complicated.
“How do you plan to leverage this?”
As soon as Kai Xin spoke, everyone showed joy, knowing that the mansion master agreed to Black Rose’s proposal to completely destroy Yipin Tang.
Black Rose also seemed relieved. After pondering for a while, she replied, “When Yu Cha captured the intelligence, she mentioned that the people brought by Blood Cloak and Desolate Killer weren’t aware that Wild Wolf’s men were going to act.”
“And then?” Kai Xin was puzzled.
Black Rose wore a sly expression. “With Yu Cha’s innate abilities, we can set up a sophisticated trap to lure Yipin Tang’s people to step out on their own…” After explaining this, she described the plan to everyone. Including Kai Xin, everyone gasped in shock and looked at Black Rose with admiration.
Kai Xin was completely at ease now:
Once this drastic measure was taken, Yipin Tang, which was already struggling to survive, would likely collapse immediately.
The decision was unanimous!
“The bride and groom are ready to take their place!”
…
The plain behind Manduo Villa was in full chaos!
Nearly a million people turned the entire wedding site into a vast, dark sea, seemingly endless!
Countless people held glasses handed out by the disciples of the Mu family, having already gone through more than three rounds of drinking. While chatting cheerfully, they kept looking up to see if the bride and groom had arrived.
Due to the overcrowding, even the high ground on the back mountain was occupied. Some people even used boats to watch from afar in Taihu Lake—truly a sea of people…
…
It was unclear how long they had waited. As the Silver Fox returned to the white jade platform, his declaration, filled with powerful inner energy, clearly reached the ears of countless players eagerly awaiting the moment:
“Thank you all for coming to the wedding of Mu Family’s head, ‘Happy,’ and his future wife, ‘Xiao Yu Yan’…”
“Now, let’s welcome the bride and groom!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted in excitement!
Many people stretched their necks to get a better view…
“How can so many people fit in?”
“Nonsense, they must have flown here…” New arguments arose among the crowd:
“It’s several miles away—there’s not even a place to land. Flying here? Try flying it yourself…”
“We’re guests here to watch the wedding; they can’t just fly over us by stepping on our shoulders, can they?”
“It’s even more impossible to walk there—how long would that take?”
“I don’t know.”
“With so many people here, let’s see how the Mu Family plans to handle this.”
“If they’re not careful, they might offend many people secretly, even damaging the Mu Family’s reputation.”
As the crowd was discussing this, they were suddenly drawn to a shout coming from the direction of Mantuo Villa. Everyone fell silent and turned their heads toward Mantuo Villa!
There they were!
The bride and groom, dressed in red robes, holding hands, appeared above the crowd as if they were immortals, instantly capturing everyone’s attention…
“This…”
Their flying speed wasn’t fast, but their serene, otherworldly grace gave people the feeling of having a spiritual connection without the need for wings.
…
Even Xueyi and Huangsha, who had come to watch the wedding as a farce, couldn’t help but twitch their lips when they saw Happy flying above the crowd in such a dazzling manner.
With nothing beneath their feet to gain momentum, the bride and groom didn’t make any extra movements—they simply held hands and floated gracefully above the crowd toward the white jade platform!
The crowd was stunned! Cheers and exclamations filled the air!!
“How did he do that?”
Huangsha, along with the disciples of Yipin Hall and those around them, found it utterly strange. Happy’s actions clearly exceeded what ordinary martial arts experts could achieve.
But as the bride and groom got closer, Xueyi finally noticed some subtle tricks the Mu Family was using…
Amidst the roaring cheers, the Mu Family’s disciples silently sent several bursts of hidden energy, helping Happy cover thousands of meters without touching the ground.
Yet Happy’s performance was truly impressive…
He didn’t need to use his feet at all. With a simple wave of his wide red sleeves, the wind carried him along smoothly, without any signs of flaw.
However… not many in the crowd noticed this.
So, it was not until Happy brought Xiao Yuyan onto the white jade platform that the entire wedding venue was filled with awe. At that moment, Happy appeared even more unfathomable in the eyes of countless heroes from the Central Plains…
……
“I am Happy. Thank you all, my fellow martial artists, for coming to my and Yuyan’s wedding. The venue is simple, and the hospitality is inadequate—please forgive us.”
Happy’s words, carried by his immense internal strength, spread clearly over several miles around.
As soon as he finished speaking, polite words of congratulations from heroes from various martial arts factions filled the air:
“It’s already an honor for us to be invited by Lord Happy!”
“That’s right.”
“Lord Happy’s wedding today is truly grand. Those of us who received invitations feel greatly honored, haha…”
“Haha, please don’t be so polite!”
With so many guests, Happy couldn’t attend to those far away. He could only bow to the leaders of the nearby factions, offering them drinks with a smile.
“Some simple wine—please enjoy it to your heart’s content…”
At that moment, the Shadow from the front row beneath the white jade platform slowly stepped onto the stage:
“Lord Happy is too modest. If today’s venue seems simple… then the banquet prepared by these tens of thousands of disciples is truly meager. I fear I’ll never have the face to host a banquet again.”
The Shadow said self-mockingly, “To be able to come to Taihu Mandala Villa and witness such a spectacular wedding is already an honor. I feel my gift is too trivial to present…”
As he spoke, he handed a list and a Qi Bag to Silver Fox, who was near the white jade platform.
Silver Fox glanced quickly at the list and calmly declared, “Shadow, the leader of Xifeng Tower, presents a gift: nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand gold coins, nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand silver coins, ninety magic crystals, nine thousand-year-old ginseng roots, one crystal mine and one metal mine, wishing Happy and Xiao Yuyan a lifetime of happiness…”
The crowd below was stunned!
Even those from the Heroic Gate and the Wind and Rain Alliance showed expressions of shock and amazement.
This gift was truly thought-provoking!
Whether it was gold and silver, magic crystals, or thousand-year-old ginseng, they were all extremely expensive and rare treasures in the market. Moreover, Xifeng Tower had even offered its two most valuable mineral deposits—sources of wealth—as gifts, stunning all the martial artists present.
While they admired Shadow’s generosity, they were also amazed that she was willing to give such a substantial gift just to help Happy gain such prestige.
What should have been a rather dull gift ceremony suddenly became extremely exciting thanks to the groundbreaking precedent set by Shadow. Many people even noticed that Mo Feng, the leader of the Heroic Gate, and Ye Yu Suifeng, the leader of the Wind and Rain Alliance, both wore bitter smiles as they watched Shadow leave the stage without stopping. But soon… Amidst the anticipation of everyone present, the Heroic Gate’s gift pushed the already intense atmosphere to even higher levels: “Mo Feng, leader of the Heroic Gate, presents a gift! It includes four sets of top-quality demonic weapon equipment, one set for men and one for women… Sigh…” Even Silver Fox couldn’t help but be moved at this point, and the crowd below was in an uproar. “Two crystal mines near the capital city, Baokang City—with one metal mine and one crystal mine—plus ten Life and Death Dream Pills… May Happy and Xiao Yuyan enjoy a sweet and fulfilling life together until old age! Forever and ever!” After the Heroic Gate and the Wind-Sweeping Tower, the Wind and Rain Alliance naturally didn’t want to fall behind and also offered a generous gift, sparking a third wave of excitement. Compared to the roaring cheers from the crowd, those on stage were happy yet secretly bitter—what should have been a proper wedding had turned into a show where gang leaders from the Central Plains flaunted their wealth. However! After these three top factions… Many gang leaders below the stage turned their attention to the two vice-leaders of the First-Class Hall, whose expressions appeared stiff. Clearly! The value of the gifts given by these three top factions far exceeded their expectations… Bloodcloth and Desolation didn’t know whether to hand over the list and gifts they held. Just then! Something completely unexpected happened… A group of men behind Bloodcloth and Desolation simultaneously drew their swords. The sound of the swords being drawn startled Bloodcloth and Desolation, who realized it was their own people—their faces instantly turned gray.
