Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1718: Is There a Problem with the Attitude?

Chapter 1718: Chapter 1718: Is There a Problem with the Attitude?

Led by numerous powerful figures below, the two sons of the sect master candidates stepped forward to begin the ritual of paying respects to the ancestral founder.

Hu Sheng, who had only recently reached adulthood, held an oversized incense stick, his body swaying precariously.

On the other hand, the young man with sharp brows and bright eyes stood nearby, exuding an extraordinary presence. His face bore an arrogant expression as he cast a fleeting glance at Hu Sheng.

His eyes were filled with disdain!

"Hmph, even if you were once the mighty Holy Son, what of it? In this era, everything has changed."

In his heart, Xinghui sneered coldly. He envisioned what was to come and imagined himself ascending to the highest position in the Star Palace, unable to suppress the smugness spilling onto his face.

Victory was certain today!

Hu Sheng was still unaware of the events that would unfold today. All he knew was that Grandfather Qi, who was guiding him, was unusually solemn, but no one had explained the significance of today to him.

To Hu Sheng, perhaps today was merely a grand day in the Star Palace.

After respectfully completing the ancestral worship, Hu Sheng stood meekly by, placing his hands awkwardly at his sides and looking toward Xinghui in the distance.

He failed to catch the contempt in Xinghui’s eyes and even nodded politely in greeting.

"Heh... what a fool. I’ve never understood why the sect places so much importance on you. Is it merely because of your so-called unique reincarnation technique?"

Xinghui scoffed.

He himself was the pride of his generation, on the verge of stepping into the Earth Immortal realm, far ahead of the other exceptional young talents of his era!

Moreover, he was already a peerless figure within his current level of cultivation—if he ascended to Earth Immortal, he could contend with Immortal Emperors!

To him, Hu Sheng unsealing his so-called reincarnation ability would amount to nothing significant.

With arms casually folded behind his back, Xinghui gazed haughtily at the numerous disciples and elders of the Star Palace around him, already imagining how he would lead the sect to greater heights after today!

Following that were various other ceremonial proceedings, as the election was an immensely formal affair where decorum could not be compromised.

Upon the mountaintop, numerous supreme figures stood beside Jiang Xiaobai, not daring to utter a word.

Many wished to approach and ingratiate themselves with him, but the duo of Martial Lord and Lord Lu flanked Jiang Xiaobai on both sides, completely blocking any opportunity to get close.

Thinking of the terrifying silhouette of that woman, everyone felt their souls tremble!

Jiang Xiaobai, however, seemed oblivious to their thoughts and was instead smiling as he looked toward Hu Sheng.

"Ah, all grown up now."

"It seems you’re no longer that stubborn little lad gritting your teeth as you once were."

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled softly.

"Oh? Does Mr. Jiang have an even closer relationship with the Holy Son?"

Lord Lu, always perceptive, picked up on this and smiled as he spoke.

Jiang Xiaobai, a man entangled in karma with someone powerful backing him, seemed to have some connection with Hu Sheng. Perhaps Lord Lu could exploit this relationship for his own plans!

"I find it odd as well—why are you all acting so harmonious today?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and glanced at the several supreme figures. "Weren’t things quite different between us before? What’s the matter? Have you rediscovered your conscience?"

Not fearing the act of mocking these supreme beings in the slightest, his eyes remained emotionless.

The Martial Lord and others couldn’t hide their discomfort and embarrassment, unable to retort!

The image of that white-clad figure wielding a longsword still lingered in their minds, unable to fade.

"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by that? Haven’t we realized the rashness of our prior actions and brought forth efforts to repair the relationship today?"

Martial Lord coughed awkwardly. "Indeed, we were at fault before; here, I’ve brought a token of apology."

He straightforwardly produced a storage ring and intended to hand it to Jiang Xiaobai.

Yet Jiang Xiaobai showed no intention of accepting it.

"No need; I dare not take your offerings. The karmic burden is too great for me to bear."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly. "With the secret realm opening this time, my bringing you along has already equalized the balance of karma. Wouldn’t you all agree?"

"This..."

The supreme figures found themselves speechless.

Before Gu Ning had arrived to beat them into submission, they hadn’t even considered that the dynamic of power could shift so drastically!

Moments before, they’d been scheming to obliterate Jiang Xiaobai and seize his fortune; now, after being humiliated, they’d been forced to confront reality.

It was a difficult situation to articulate!

Above all, their motive had always been Jiang Xiaobai’s secrets and fortune—how could they possibly give up at such a juncture?

"Mr. Jiang, we were undeniably wrong before. With this flourishing era just beginning, we were a bit arrogant. Please forgive us, Mr. Jiang."

One supreme figure gritted his teeth, forcing a smile onto his face.

Once one broke the ice, the others followed suit, laughing awkwardly as they stepped forward.

Nearby, Li Liuqing was so stunned by the scene, he nearly dropped his jaw!

Were these the lofty supreme figures?

Lowering themselves before a Primordial Chaos Boundless cultivator with such forced expressions—did this mean Jiang Xiaobai truly had some incomprehensibly powerful backer?

Watching so many supreme figures face-savingly seek reconciliation, Jiang Xiaobai realized something was off.

Though he couldn’t discern who might have said or done something, wasn’t this an opportunity nonetheless?

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, scanning the crowd without replying.

This left the supreme figures baffled about his intentions.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have any requests for us? If so, please speak directly. By today’s ceremony, we are brothers sworn in loyalty. As your elder brother, I must look after my younger brother, right?"

Martial Lord shouted boisterously.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly. "There’s no rush. I suspect there’s an exciting show to watch in a moment. Of course, if you’d like to support me, Jiang Xiaobai, then I wouldn’t mind lending you my hand."

"Alright, rest assured, brother! Today, if anyone dares cause trouble, just watch me blow them away!"

Martial Lord boasted, radiating arrogance as if invincible.

Jiang Xiaobai said no more but instead turned his eyes toward Xinghui, attempting to discern if there was any hidden scheme.

Perhaps the other race’s disguise was flawless, or for other reasons, there were no signs of dimensional energy from Xinghui.

But...

The traces of dead energy from the Dead Sea were faintly present.

The ritual continued, while near the coast of the North Sea not far from the Star Palace, several figures appeared.

They were all supreme figures, emanating an aura so powerful it repelled the surrounding seawater.

"Mu Bai, are you certain you can handle this?"

One supreme figure raised an eyebrow. "That’s the Star Palace! Don’t underestimate it. Though only SanMing Supreme guards it, they’re all veterans with formidable strength and terrifying hidden reserves."

"Not to mention the ancient guardian arrays handed down from the past. Can we really deal with that?"

The leader, Mu Bai, wore a cold sneer, his eyes flickering with intense killing intent.

"No need for concern. Everything is already arranged."

Following his loss in the mountain secret realm, Mu Bai had immediately returned to the inheritance grounds and reached the Supreme realm!

This time, failure was not an option!

This marked the beginning of everything for their other race. If they quietly subdued the Star Palace without raising suspicions, it would signify the completion of the first step. By then, with the chaos in the Dead Sea expanded, who in the Earth Immortal realm would dare stand in their way?

Unknowingly, an image surfaced in Mu Bai’s mind.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"
