NOVPUBChapter 1187: Chapter 965: The Place of Burial Chapter 1187: Chapter 965: The Place of Burial However, no matter how passionately and sweetly the man spoke, the woman’s expression remained unmoved. Clearly, she had probably heard such words countless times before and had grown weary of them.
As the man continued to speak ardently, the woman eventually grew impatient and said coldly, “I have told you before, that time, I merely slew a demon casually, without even noticing you. If I had known then that I would be saving someone like you, I would have certainly killed you without a second thought!”
Her words were extremely ruthless, like a sharp blade plunging into the man’s heart, causing his smiling face to freeze momentarily. Then, he smiled again, speaking tenderly, “Purple Cloud, I know what you’re saying out of anger. Once we’ve had our wedding and done what husband and wife do, you’ll gradually see things differently. I won’t say any more for now; you’ll understand once you see my actions…”
As soon as he said this, the man did not linger and disappeared with teleportation.
His reason for speaking to her today was merely to soften the woman’s mood so nothing untoward would happen at the wedding.
Moreover, his words were indeed heartfelt; confessing to her before any issue arose was also a way of releasing his emotions.
Outside the grand hall where the man appeared, he frowned slightly and murmured softly, “Qingshang Saint King is coming? With incredibly fast speed, it seems he might have reached the Invincible Saint King level? I should check it out!”
Indeed, if he is an Invincible Saint King, such a visitor warrants grave attention. An Invincible Saint King attending his wedding was also a mark of respect for him.
Whoosh!
The very next moment, the man disappeared once more.
At the wedding venue, the man appeared.
“Lyra Saint King, long time no see, congratulations on your big day!”
“I never expected that Lyra, who has always been free-spirited and unrestrained, would also have a moment of passion…”
“Lyra, congratulations, this is my gift for you; please don’t disdain it!”
One after another, powerful Cultivators who saw the man came forward with a laugh, presenting their gifts then and there, ones not yet registered or of considerable value.
These were mostly Cultivators of the Saint King Realm or those of the Saint Lord Level with formidable abilities and close relations to Lyra Saint King. Those who ranked lower did not have the privilege to greet him in person, understanding their own place and simply offering their congratulations from a distance with a smile.
“Thank you, brothers and fellow daoists, for coming to honor this occasion. I am ashamed I have not received you properly…” Lyra Saint King quickly returned the salute, smiling and responding to each in turn.
Then, after waiting for a long time, he did not see Qingshang Saint King arrive; instead, he spoke at length with many strong Saint King Realm Cultivators present at the venue.
If Qingshang Saint King had indeed reached the Invincible Saint King level, it would have been right to treat him seriously, but there was a limit to such courtesies; excessive welcoming was unwarranted.
He, Lyra Saint King, was not an inferior Peak Saint King. Although he hadn’t broken through many new layers of heaven in the Lyra Universe, he had slain many who did, thus obtaining a significant amount of Origin Force from the Lyra Universe and the Spirit’s grand world. With this Origin Force, his strength in the Lyra Universe, albeit not on par with an Invincible Saint King, was not easily dealt with by any average Invincible Saint King.
Furthermore, having achieved such heights in just one or two hundred million years, his potential was limitless. With many allies of the same level and even those higher than him, he had reason to be proud.
“Hmm? Qingshang Saint King entered the Lyra Universe and then disappeared?” Lyra Saint King frowned slightly and murmured inwardly after receiving a message from his subordinates.
According to the information received, Qingshang Saint King had been in the Lyra Universe for quite some time now, enough to have arrived at the wedding venue. Now, not only had he not come, but he had also vanished, which could indicate that something was amiss.
“Check the recent whereabouts of Qingshang Saint King,” Lyra Saint King thought to himself and transmitted the order to his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Lyra Saint King continued to converse with the throng of Cultivators at the wedding site. For practitioners of their level, days and months passed in the blink of an eye. Now, just days before the wedding was to officially begin, it was considered the prelude to the festivities. As time went on, more and more Cultivators arrived just in time.
Lyra Saint King continued to greet them warmly.
Soon after, Lyra Saint King received another transmission from his subordinates.
“What? Some time ago, Qingshang Saint King went to the Bloodslaughter Universe and hasn’t come back since, suspected to have been slain by the Bloodslaughter Saint Lord?” There was a lot of information in the transmission, but when he came across one piece, Lyra Saint King’s eyebrow quirked, and he whispered.
He wasn’t entirely ignorant about Purple Cloud Saint King’s situation. That’s why he had captured her friend, Er Lee Saint King, to coerce Purple Cloud Saint King into marrying him.
As a result, he had been keeping an eye on the Bloodslaughter Universe. Of course, not long before, when the Bloodslaughter Saint Lord had not appeared, the universe wasn’t even named so.
He knew that someone whom Purple Cloud Saint King was waiting for might be born within that universe.
“Bloodslaughter Saint Lord?” Lyra Saint King frowned.
A Saint Lord Level powerhouse who was a tough challenge for even Invincible Saint Kings and formidable Peak Saint Kings, causing no small trouble for even the most formidable among them.
He had heard of this matter, but with his wedding to Purple Cloud Saint King drawing near, he refrained from going and complicating things. In his view, whether the Bloodslaughter Saint Lord was the person Purple Cloud Saint King had been waiting for or not, once he was married to Purple Cloud Saint King, a significant matter would be settled.
