Chapter 1540 - 1539: Ling Tianyu?

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1539: Ling Tianyu?

"Ling’er, you see, where else can you find someone as devoted as Wufa? He is willing to accept you as you are now, and that’s a blessing you’ve earned over eight lifetimes. Why do you still resist?"

The speaker was Li Tianxiong, and he looked at Liu Xiling with a commanding tone, "Today, the marriage will be settled, and from now on, you will stay at the Xing Family, and cultivate feelings with Wufa."

"Yes, feelings can be cultivated, as they say, love grows over time. Miss Liu, once you spend enough time with Wufa, you’ll naturally have feelings."

Xing Jiuyuan also said with a smile.

"Do as you please."

Liu Xiling replied coldly.

She knew that whatever she said would be of no consequence, and would instead give Xing Wu Fa the opportunity to feign sympathy, only putting her in a worse position.

"Since everyone is here, let’s begin the ceremony."

Xing Jiuyuan said with a smile to Li Tianxiong.

"Hmm, let’s begin!"

Li Tianxiong nodded.

With Li Tianxiong’s permission, Xing Jiuyuan nodded to a Xing Family deacon not far away, who immediately proclaimed loudly, "The ceremony begins!"

As soon as his voice fell, the previously prepared orchestra began to play celebratory music, announcing the official start of the marriage ceremony!

After the music finished, the subsequent banquet began.

"Congratulations, Elder Xing, a wish of over twenty years is finally fulfilled today."

"Yes, wishing Elder Xing a happy and harmonious marriage, a hundred years of unity!"

As the banquet started, the messengers sent by various forces and some distinguished figures within Youzhou all rose to toast Xing Wu Fa, offering nothing but flattering and congratulatory words.

Ling Chen, now known as Jueying Zhenren, being Xing Wu Fa’s fellow disciple, naturally couldn’t avoid toasting Xing Wu Fa, pretending as required, especially in moments like this when not the slightest flaw can be revealed.

However, after three rounds of wine and as the marriage ceremony neared its conclusion, the entire Xing Family remained peaceful, without any disturbance.

"Young master, the marriage ceremony is about to end, and your father hasn’t appeared yet,"

Hong Ye frowned slightly and quietly communicated to Ling Chen, "Isn’t he coming?"

"Impossible."

Ling Chen shook his head, "He will definitely come."

"But, what if he doesn’t come? If he were coming, he should have acted by now."

Hong Ye knew Ling Chen trusted his father greatly, but with the ceremony at such a crucial point, if Ling Tianyu really came, why hadn’t he acted? If delayed any longer, the ceremony would end, and Liu Xiling would be left with the Xing Family, with the future uncertain, very possibly being defiled by Xing Wu Fa.

"If he doesn’t come, then we’ll have to act ourselves."

Ling Chen drank all the wine on the table in one gulp, feeling deeply disappointed in Ling Tianyu, despite never having harbored any complaints before regardless of how much Ling Tianyu hid or avoided others, as he believed the other had their reasons. But now, involving Liu Xiling, Ling Tianyu’s own wife, was it time to be a coward?

Given Ling Tianyu’s absence, this time Ling Chen decided he’d rescue his mother himself, regardless of the difficulty akin to climbing to heaven, he must fight a fight today!

With this thought, Ling Chen suddenly stood up from his seat, eyes locked onto Xing Wu Fa, deciding that if they acted, his first target would be Xing Wu Fa.

But just as Ling Chen was about to act, sudden sounds of chaos and alarm arose from outside the Xing Family, followed by an exclaimed shout that echoed loudly.

"Not good, someone has broken in!"

As soon as the shout fell, everyone present changed expression in shock, turning their gaze toward the source of the sound, only to see a dark silhouette rapidly approaching, overpowering the Xing Family’s strong defenders with overwhelming force!

"What?"

Many strong spectators witnessing this scene were shocked; they clearly didn’t expect someone would dare cause trouble at this moment.

"Finally here?"

Despite hearing these exclamations, Xing Wu Fa not only lacked anger but instead curled a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Ending the banquet so peacefully seemed too boring to him anyway. After all, in order to confront Ling Tianyu today, he meticulously arranged everything; if the opponent didn’t appear, wouldn’t all his arrangements be in vain?

"Courting death!"

Li Tianxiong’s eyes also carried a touch of coldness; whether Ling Tianyu or Ling Chen, daring to disrupt the marriage under these circumstances was simply courting death.

"Here?"

Ling Chen was equally momentarily stunned, but quickly joy filled his eyes. No matter what, Ling Tianyu finally came, right?

Whoosh!

After overpowering numerous blockers, the figure then landed on the Xing Family’s grand hall dome. Ling Chen now saw the figure’s appearance; dressed in loose black robes concealing the body with a terrifying ghost mask covering the face, making the true appearance unrecognizable. However, the person held a Treasure Sword as white as snow, which, infused with True Qi, emitted stunning sharpness; from the sword’s body distinctly emerged the image of "Ling Tian."

"This is our Ling Family’s Lingtian Divine Sword!"

A sudden exclamation came from one side of the crowd, uttered by a gray-haired hook-nosed elder, none other than the Ling Family’s Great Elder, Ling Ba.

Upon seeing the "Ling Tian" characters on the sword, after a moment’s stunned silence, his face was immediately filled with astonishment!

This sword was the Ling Family’s ancestral Holy Sword, originally taken by the traitor Ling Tianyu along with the Ling Tian Sword Scripture, unexpectedly appearing here.

"You are... Ling Tianyu?!"

Ling Ba gazed at the masked swordsman standing firmly on the hall dome, eyes suddenly darkened.

"Is it really father?"

Ling Chen’s eyes reflected disbelief; the opponent’s disguise made him unrecognizable even to himself, yet since Ling Ba recognized the Lingtian Divine Sword, it was almost certain that this masked swordsman in black was his long-lost father, Ling Tianyu!

Calculating the time, Ling Chen hadn’t seen his biological father for almost seven to eight years, just when he thought Ling Tianyu wouldn’t appear, the other eventually did!

For Liu Xiling, Ling Tianyu still came; he didn’t disappoint Ling Chen!
