The Futian Star Domain, Yinlong Prefecture, is a sea region with hundreds of millions of islands scattered like stars. The sea is calm, immortal energy drifts everywhere, and the islands appear faintly, shrouded in mystery in a hazy light.
The islands here were only a few hundred li in size, but the largest ones spanned billions of miles, almost equal to the Tianlan Domain where Long Chen lived.
However, this entire sea area here is known as Hidden Dragon Prefecture. Legend has it that in the ancient era, this was the land of the Dragon Abyss, also known as the 'Dragon Hidden in the Abyss.' Beneath the island was once a dragon's lair, and in the ancient era, it was a region inhabited by the dragon clan.
Later, the dragons disappeared, and humans became the masters of this region. Because the dragons and humans were relatively close, humans didn't feel uncomfortable here.
Moreover, in Yinlong Prefecture, large-scale sacrificial ceremonies are held every year to pray for the protection of the dragon clan's heroic spirits. Legend has it that Yinlong Prefecture is protected by the ancestral souls of the dragon clan; as long as the rituals continue and the dragon souls do not perish, they will bless the human race for generations.
No one had ever seen the dragon soul, but one thing was true: Hidden Dragon Prefecture was never attacked by magical beasts or sea monsters. Whether it was due to the dragon soul's protection or because this was once the ancestral land of the dragon clan, the dragon's might lingered for a long time, and other demon beasts dared not approach. In any case, this area was a relatively peaceful and peaceful place.
Because of this, Hidden Dragon Prefecture is also the largest state in the Futian Star Domain, larger than ordinary regions, and it has the highest number of cultivators.
In Hidden Dragon Prefecture, there is an island called Hidden Dragon Island. In terms of area, Hidden Dragon Island ranks third, but it is the most popular island, because this is the place with the densest spiritual energy in the entire Futian Star Domain.
The island is dotted with cities, sects are gathered, and cultivators are as numerous as ants. The Lingwen Pavilion is located in the northwest of Hidden Dragon Island.
Today, the area in front of the Lingwen Pavilion was bustling with activity. For the pavilion, it was a day of double happiness.
Today is the awarding ceremony for the Talisman Celestial Master. Gongsun Xuan passed the assessment and obtained the title of Palace Celestial Master. This was a major event for the entire Talisman Heaven Star Domain.
According to tradition, the public notice must be announced for a month, then an auspicious day will be chosen for the awarding ceremony.
Because Fu Celestial Masters can decipher an ancient rune and create their own runes, which has driven the development of the entire rune world. Fu Celestial Masters are symbols of status and strength, as well as achievements.
Another piece of good news was that Gongsun Xuan's granddaughter, Gongsun Ziyi, was getting married. The person he was to marry turned out to be Ji Wuying, the top prodigy of the Blood Slaughter Hall.
This news is quite surprising. What is going on? She was already engaged to Xia Chen, and now she's about to marry someone else so soon?
Even if Xia Chen betrayed the Lingwen Pavilion, the one who just suffered an emotional blow was Gongsun Ziyi, and she emerged from the shadows so quickly? Now that Xia Chen hasn't been caught, what are they trying to do?
People were filled with confusion, but in the end, they pretended nothing had happened and came to offer their congratulations.
For them, many things don't matter. What matters to them is clinging to the Lingwen Pavilion—not thinking about things they shouldn't think, and not listening to things they shouldn't.
However, one thing they knew was clear: they hadn't been able to catch Xia Chen recently. Gongsun Xuan was getting anxious, probably trying to use Gongsun Ziyi's wedding to lure Xia Chen out.
This kind of dirty trick is extremely disgusting and full of vulgarity, but will Xia Chen really fall for it?
You have to understand, as long as someone is sane, they won't fall for it. This is clearly a trap set in heaven and earth, just waiting for them to walk right into it.
But recently, people have also heard another name: Long Chen, the youngest dean of Lingxiao Academy, who repeatedly robbed Longteng Trading Company, slew various races in the Chaotic Star Sea, and slain the son of Yanxu.
Although people didn't know much about Long Chen, they had heard of what he had done. Rumors said that Long Chen was incredibly bold, and there was nothing in this world he wouldn't dare to undertake.
Xia Chen might endure it, but now that Long Chen has come, it's different. Many people have come, partly to congratulate the Lingwen Pavilion, and partly to see if Long Chen dares to come.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
In front of a grand hall, a group of elders came forward to offer their congratulations. Leading them were the elder generation of Master Fu Tian.
"Haha, thanks to the five seniors, we've all been creating on the shoulders of giants. Any small progress is all thanks to the efforts of our predecessors. Of course, it's also thanks to the guidance of several Talisman Masters. Come, come inside."
A tall, slightly chubby old man with a broad smile said politely.
This chubby old man was none other than Gongsun Xuan, the pavilion master of Lingwen Pavilion. His eyes were small, always squinting, giving the impression that he was always smiling.
However, his smile was somewhat fake, with a forced smile that seemed unmoved. He entertained guests while observing his surroundings.
At that moment, a melodious music sounded. A woman dressed in a phoenix crown and embroidered robe, carrying a man dressed in a black robe, stepped out. The man was none other than Ji Wuying, the top expert of the Blood Killing Hall.
At this moment, a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed in a certain direction of the void, and there was a sinister glint in his gaze.
"Buzz!"
The void rumbled, and a divine light flew in from afar. The sound of breaking through the air shook heaven and earth, startling everyone and turning their gaze toward the void.
"Xia Chen, he... It really came. People
saw three figures; two of them didn't recognize them, but they recognized Xia Chen at a glance.
"As your fiancée's wedding, as your fiancé, there's nothing to give. It's just a small gift, but I hope you won't mind." Xia Chen looked at Gongsun Ziyi, dressed in a phoenix crown and embroidered robe, his eyes nearly shooting with fire, and waved his hand widely.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three coffins landed in front of the main hall. For a moment, everyone was shocked. Sending coffins at a wedding seemed like a fight to the death.
Gongsun Ziyi slowly lifted the curtain, revealing a beautiful face. She had a high nose bridge and thin lips. Although she was beautiful, she gave off a rather awkward vibe.
Long Chen only needed to glance at her to see that she was naturally cold and cold, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Such a woman only loves himself and is extremely selfish.
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. That foolish kid, Xia Chen, had been obsessed with rune and formation arts all his life, with extraordinary talent, yet lacked a keen eye for recognizing people. To be deceived by such a woman was truly unprecedented.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the three arrived, the grand formation suddenly activated, enveloping the entire Lingwen Pavilion. For a moment, all the guests were enveloped inside the pavilion.
"Xia Chen, I really admire you a bit—your thoughtfulness. The three of you, three coffins—no more, no less, just right!
Are you hoping I'll leave you a whole corpse and prepare in advance? Gongsun Ziyi smiled, but there was not a trace of emotion in her smile.
"No, these three coffins are left for your entire family."
Guo Ran spoke, but suddenly his tone shifted, his voice thundering as he shouted harshly, "If you don't want to die, stay far away. Today, the three of us brothers are going on a massacre." "
