Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1697: Old Friends

Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697: Old Friends

The title of Martial Venerable was given away. Under the gaze of Emperor Ziwei, no one dared to refuse.

Are you joking? Respecting the Heavenly Palace is a must!

As for the benefits given to Jiang Xiaobai, in the eyes of these supreme beings, it was insignificant. At their level, mere resources were far from enough to achieve further elevation.

"Kid, remember today’s events. Don’t even think about deceiving us, or you’ll face consequences you can’t afford."

Lord Lu chuckled softly, but his voice was icy cold: "I’ve heard you have a very powerful Immortal Emperor master. If you’re so confident, why not invite her to come play with us?"

Jiang Xiaobai turned grim and said nothing.

The events of today were truly beyond his expectations; these human supremes weren’t much better than their alien counterparts.

After all the human supremes departed, the two monks nearby finally exhaled in relief.

"Lord Buddha, who exactly is this fellow? How is he so formidable?"

Monk Wu Nian asked in bewilderment.

The gluttonous monk waved dismissively and rubbed his bald head: "This brat has too many secrets. I’ve already given up trying to figure him out. But judging from today’s situation, it seems defeating him would be quite the challenge."

He had long harbored thoughts of taking down Jiang Xiaobai. Yet, from today’s events, it was evident Jiang Xiaobai was even fiercer than he imagined!

While he had seen Jiang Xiaobai’s immense strength earlier, now that Jiang Xiaobai was in the same realm as him, the gluttonous monk didn’t stand a chance.

Meanwhile, Emperor Ziwei cast a glance at Jiang Xiaobai, his gaze devoid of emotion.

"This time, they suffered because of me. Next time, it won’t be so simple," he remarked.

"Handle it yourself, but it’s best not to provoke those supremes for now. They will stop at nothing to strengthen themselves."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded faintly: "I already have a general plan. Many thanks for your guidance, Lord Ziwei."

"No need to thank me. This time, everything went off track because of those fools," Emperor Ziwei said irritably.

From the moment Jiang Xiaobai entered the outer towns, the plan—the key element of which was baiting—commenced.

Drawing out the aliens, investigating their current conditions, and preparing for subsequent developments.

Originally, Mu Bai was about to be captured, but then so many human supremes disrupted the scene, leaving Emperor Ziwei utterly vexed.

He couldn’t just kill them all, could he?

Though he had the power, the current situation wouldn’t allow it!

"Forget it. Go about your own tasks. When you have time, visit the Heavenly Palace."

Emperor Ziwei spoke indifferently: "Additionally, you’d best hurry back to the Earth Immortal world. There’s an upheaval brewing. Major changes are imminent. Before then, you must gather as much support as possible."

"Gather support? What do you mean?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked blankly.

"Don’t tell me you actually think you can face those people alone?"

Emperor Ziwei raised an eyebrow: "By then, the Heavenly Palace won’t be able to help you. The rest is up to you, to contend with those supreme beings yourself."

"Enough talk. Leave this damned place as soon as possible."

With those words, Emperor Ziwei turned and vanished, leaving Jiang Xiaobai and the others behind.

Only then did the gluttonous monk dare to approach: "Brother Jiang, you’re so unreliable, stirring up chaos in the Earth Immortal world without even remembering me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai awkwardly scratched his head and smiled. Indeed, he had completely forgotten about this fellow!

Back then, in the transit world, he kept vaguely reminiscing about something he had forgotten, only to realize it was this monk!

"Why did you go missing all the time? I was worrying about the prism space in the transit world back then!"

At Jiang Xiaobai’s words, the gluttonous monk burst out laughing: "Hahaha! I owe it all to you, Brother Jiang. When you told me to wait at the Dynasty of Su Sea, I stumbled into a Buddhist legacy site and gained these heaven-defying powers!"

As he spoke, he smugly showed off. Having gained yet another inheritance from ancient Buddhist masters in the secret realm, his strength had soared again.

He had already reached the pinnacle late stage of the Hunyuan Daluo realm!

Just one step away from becoming a powerhouse in the Hunyuan Wuji Realm!

"Oh, by the way, Brother Jiang, I just ran into your wife!"

Suddenly, the gluttonous monk recalled something: "She was taken to that secret realm space over there. It’s safe. Come on, it’s been ages—let’s have a drink today!"

Jiang Xiaobai simply nodded and followed them towards the secret realm space, though his thoughts lingered on the Buddhist legacy the monk had mentioned earlier.

Buddhism had always been shrouded in silence, its lineage seemingly severed—traces of Buddhism were scarce in both the Earth Immortal world and other smaller realms.

Yet, surprisingly, there was a Buddhist inheritance in the transit world, near the Dynasty of Su Sea, which just happened to fall into the hands of that chubby monk?

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but ponder deeply: Could Buddhism also be involved in this massive scheme?

What were they scheming, after all?

Simultaneously, within the Seven Treasures Pagoda, Su Mei had sensed a trace of Buddhist aura, but she didn’t immediately react, choosing instead to wait patiently.

She was desperate to uncover what had happened to Buddhism back in the day, and what befell Guanyin Bodhisattva!

She knew far too little about the events of the past!

Soon, the group entered the secret realm space, and Jiang Xiaobai immediately spotted Liu Aoshuang and the others.

"Oh, Junior Brother!"

Liu Aoshuang, her garments as revealing as ever, flew toward Jiang Xiaobai as soon as she saw him!

Her cultivation was on the brink of breaking through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

Boasting an abundant figure, Liu Aoshuang unabashedly wrapped her arms around Jiang Xiaobai’s neck and pulled him into her embrace!

"Cough, cough, Senior Sister, this is inappropriate!"

Jiang Xiaobai struggled hastily, caught in a mix of embarrassment despite the pleasant scent—but he was in no position to enjoy it!

"Big Brother, look! It’s Jiang Xiaobai!"

The clumsy trio of brothers caught sight of Jiang Xiaobai and rushed over, surrounding him excitedly.

"Long time no see, brothers." Jiang Xiaobai greeted them warmly,

Feeling nostalgic as he reunited with his fellow Sword Sect disciples and old friends.

Life, truly filled with twists and turns—who would have thought they’d meet again here after all this time?

After greeting everyone in turn, Jiang Xiaobai scanned the room but didn’t see Ao Yan’s shadow?

"Where’s Yan’er? Wasn’t she with you guys when she entered here?" Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise.

"Oh, oh! When she first arrived, she was worried about the outside situation. But suddenly she felt something summoning her within the secret realm. Next thing we knew, she opened a void portal and went in!"

Liu Aoshuang recalled: "Before leaving, she told us not to worry and assured she’d come out later by herself."

At this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately furrowed his brows in suspicion.

What could have caused such an abrupt action?

Where had Ao Yan gone?
