Li Yunjing successfully managed the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Halls for two years. He then sought an audience with Sect Leader Ming Lingchuan to request that he preside over his grand marriage to Yunyi and Ruoxi. Ming Lingchuan agreed, noting Li Yunjing's commendable stewardship and the growing threat from the Demon Dao and allied sects.

The massive hull of the ship sliced through the void, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

The mountains and rivers below appeared like ants, as the cultivators in the cities and towns stopped to gaze upward.

Along the way, even when passing through the territories of sects and clans, the "Celestial Patrol Ship" showed no intention of changing its course, heading straight towards "Yue Ming City".

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there is an unwritten rule that the airspace within roughly ten miles above other forces is generally considered a no-fly zone, as a gesture of respect towards the local forces.

Of course, the range of the no-fly zone varies according to the strength of the local forces.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" territory in the "Shenxiao Mountain Range" spans over ten thousand miles, and no one dares to fly over it without permission.

Many forces, upon seeing someone breaking the rules and flying overhead, would instantly become furious, ready to take flight and fight to the death!

However, upon seeing the gilded emblem of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" on the hull, exclamations echoed across the land, and each one of them hesitated, not daring to block the way.

"That’s Vice Sect Leader Li Yunjing of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’!"

An observant cultivator pointed at the figure on the deck and shouted.

Soon, news of Li Yunjing’s travels spread like wildfire, and the flying ships of sects large and small hurriedly gave way, voluntarily descending below the clouds.

As for the strongholds of the clans and sects below, they controlled their arrays and restrictions to ensure they did not attack the "Celestial Patrol Ship" in the void above!

Upon reaching the boundaries of Qingzhou, three ornately decorated immortal ships suddenly floated into the sky.

Leading them was none other than the president of the Qingzhou Commerce Association.

Standing on the deck, he clasped his hands from afar and called out, "I heard that Vice Sect Leader Li’s wedding is approaching, and we have prepared a small gift, which we hope you will graciously accept!"

Before he finished speaking, the protective array on the "Celestial Patrol Ship" suddenly activated, and countless streams of Sword Qi rushed down like a galaxy, forming the golden words "Official business of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, unrelated persons please yield" in front of the immortal ships.

Li Yunjing gestured, and a strand of spiritual power transformed into a phantom, standing in the air.

"Thank you for your kindness. If President Wang has time, you are welcome to come to the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ for my wedding banquet."

His tone was neither humble nor overbearing, yet carried a hidden pressure that made the three immortal ships shake violently.

As for accepting the small gift?

The current Li Yunjing could no longer casually accept tributes from others.

Every word and action of his represented the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

If today he accepted President Wang’s gift, and this matter spread, how would the world view Li Yunjing?

Wouldn’t President Wang flaunt himself as having Li Yunjing as his backer, and exploit benefits across the "Great Ming Cultivation Realm", leaving Li Yunjing to take the blame?

Would he become a shield just for the sake of this small gift?

Li Yunjing would not be so unwise!

"Certainly! I will make sure to attend with a generous gift on the grand occasion,"

The President of Qingzhou’s face changed dramatically, then quickly calmed down, said some polite words, and finally ordered a retreat, secretly relieved that he hadn’t tried to approach forcefully.

Otherwise, seeing that this Vice Sect Leader Li seemed difficult to deal with, if his massive ship had attacked, wouldn’t he be doomed?

And being killed by the Vice Sect Leader of "Shenxiao Dao Sect", it would be a death in vain!

He wouldn’t even have the chance to file a lawsuit!

The sky of this "Great Ming Cultivation Realm" is determined by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Their Vice Sect Leader is like the Emperor!

With a word, he decides life or death!

Does he need a reason?

No need, if he says you must die, you must die!

And die obediently, with no resistance!

Otherwise, your family’s descendants won’t survive either!

His plan to use this opportunity to cozy up to Li Yunjing completely failed today.

This scene was naturally observed by many who took note of it.

The onlookers felt relieved, thankful they had not rashly approached and provoked the displeasure of Vice Sect Leader Li.

At the same time, they each silently despised President Wang of the "Qingzhou Commerce Association", acting shamelessly like a lackey, offering himself up!

So what?

Still despised by others, nonetheless?

At this moment, Li Yunjing was unaware of the discussions among the cultivators in the "Great Ming Cultivation Realm".

As they neared "Yue Ming City", the momentum of the "Celestial Patrol Ship" grew increasingly majestic.

This was not a display of attack power!

But rather a demonstration of the momentum of this massive ship, allowing everyone to witness the might of Yu Yunyi’s man.

When the "Celestial Patrol Ship" arrived above the city gates, the City Lord, led by the Yu Family, had already come thirty miles out to greet them.

"Yue Ming City" is the territory of the Great Ming Dynasty.

But more importantly, it is the territory of the Yu Family.

Here, the Yu Family’s word is more authoritative than that of the Great Ming Royal Family!

The "Celestial Patrol Ship" hovered like a giant whale above "Yue Ming City", casting its shadow over the entire city.

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, overlooking the land, causing the onlooking cultivators to kneel and pay their respects.

Thirty miles away, Yu Clan’s Patriarch Yu Zhenshan, wearing a new robe with a hundred elders, led the family in a line by the roadside.

Yu Yunyi’s brothers, Yu Mingyuan and Yu Zongzhe, clutched the crimson command flags representing the clan’s highest ceremony, prepared to welcome Li Yunjing’s arrival.

Yu Zongzhe was not as nervous, as he and Li Yunjing were good friends, familiar with each other.

Meanwhile, Yu Mingyuan was not a member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"; he remained an outstanding representative within the clan, destined to assume the position of Patriarch in the future.

Yu Mingyuan had never met Li Yunjing, only heard of his brother-in-law’s great reputation.

At this moment, gazing up at the deity-like figure, Yu Mingyuan’s knuckles had turned white from tension; he was too nervous.

This was not just about welcoming a future brother-in-law, but also crucial for the Yu Family’s strengthened relations with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
