Jia Mengqing's attempt to disrupt her own wedding was thwarted, forcing her to return to the Jia family. There, she learned her ancestors planned to execute Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun to appease the Blood Origin Sect, especially after she claimed Ye Chenfeng as her own. Despite their ruthlessness, Jia Mengqing agreed to marry Du Zishi if her loved ones were spared, a deal her ancestors accepted, though they secretly planned to execute Ye and Jia Kun regardless.

The next day.

The sun slowly rose from the east.

The Lower Realm of the Divine Origin Realm welcomed a new day once again.

Today is the day that Du Zishi, the young master of the Blood Origin Sect, comes to marry Jia Mengqing.

In a courtyard of the Jia family.

Ye Chenfeng stretched his body, the Chaos Griffon lazily perched on his shoulder yawning.

"Master, this Lower Realm is too boring, it can’t let me fight to my heart’s content." The Chaos Griffon said to Ye Chenfeng.

It had been trapped for such a long time before, and in the Chaos Era, a Chaos Griffon was definitely considered a fierce beast, its blood containing a lust for slaughter.

Ye Chenfeng patted the Chaos Griffon’s head: "Rest assured, today there should be a chance for you to perform. If the Blood Origin Sect really has the Emperor’s Fruit, then I am determined to obtain it."

And today, Frost Heaven City is extremely lively. As the overlord of Frost Heaven City, the Jia family is a notch above the Blood Origin Sect in terms of power. Many strong figures have come to the Jia family to offer their congratulations.

The venue for the wedding ceremony and banquet is on a massive square within the Jia family compound.

This square had already been prepared days in advance.

Early this morning, people from the Blood Origin Sect arrived.

At this moment, in the Jia family’s conference hall, besides the ancestral elder Jia Nianshan, Jia Lizhong, and the Family Head Jia Xiaowen, sat an arrogant-looking old man and a young man on the chairs.

The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, his eyes brimming with gloom, clearly not a benevolent person. He is Zhong Zhende, the Great Elder of the Blood Origin Sect, with an aura at the Peak of Divine Venerable Realm. He is responsible for accompanying the young master Du Zishi to marry Jia Mengqing.

The other, with a somewhat pale complexion, wearing white clothes, is the young master Du Zishi of the Blood Origin Sect. His pallor is a strange kind of pale, with his eyes filled with coldness.

The Blood Origin Sect has an intelligence network in Frost Heaven City. Regarding the claim that Jia Mengqing declared Ye Chenfeng to be her man yesterday, Du Zishi had already heard a bit about it.

After all, Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong are strong figures in the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, so Du Zishi and Zhong Zhende dare not be too presumptuous. Du Zishi said to Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong, "Honored ancestors, I’ve heard some things about Mengqing. I, Du Zishi, sincerely wish to marry Mengqing. Otherwise, our Blood Origin Sect would not have presented the Emperor’s Fruit as a betrothal gift."

Jia Xiaowen spoke: "Zishi, there are some things you might have misunderstood. Yesterday, my daughter brought back a man, but that man has nothing to do with her. My daughter has always been disobedient. I can assure you that my daughter absolutely has no other man, Zishi can rest assured."

Jia Nianshan also said: "This time, it was Mengqing’s thoughtlessness. We already persuaded her yesterday, she won’t act like this again."

"In this matter, it was our Jia family’s initial wrongdoing. If Zishi, you are not afraid of getting bloodstained today, we can publicly execute that young man."

"Furthermore, the steward Jia Kun repeatedly indulged Mengqing in this matter, so we are prepared to execute him together as well."

Hearing this, Du Zishi smiled and nodded: "I will follow the arrangements of the two ancestors, I don’t mind getting bloodstained today."

This conversation.

Confirmed that Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun would be executed at today’s wedding ceremony.

As time slowly passed.

Noon soon arrived.

The guests who came to attend the ceremony almost all arrived, tables were placed all over the massive square, and a space was cleared in the middle of the square where a high platform was erected.

Jia Xiaowen, Jia Nianshan, and Jia Lizhong stepped onto the high platform, and after a few words from the Family Head Jia Xiaowen.

Jia Mengqing, in a red dress, was helped onto the high platform by two maidservants. Observant people could see that Jia Mengqing wasn’t walking on her own, as many acupuncture points on her body were temporarily sealed. She couldn’t even open her mouth, let alone bite her tongue to commit suicide.

After Jia Mengqing was helped onto the high platform.

Du Zishi, who had changed into red attire, also stepped onto the high platform, officially starting today’s wedding ceremony.

The ceremony proceeded according to tradition.

After the cumbersome ceremony concluded, Jia Xiaowen spoke again: "Everyone, not long ago, an ignorant young man kept pestering my daughter and wouldn’t leave. My daughter doesn’t care for this young man at all, but what infuriates us even more is that our family’s steward, Jia Kun, conspired with this young man, attempting to disrupt this marriage, which is absolutely intolerable. Therefore, we are prepared to hand this young man and Jia Kun over to the Blood Origin Sect for disposal."

Jia Kun glanced at Du Zishi.

Du Zishi stepped forward on the high platform: "Dare to harbor thoughts about my woman Du Zishi? Today is the day I’m marrying Mengqing, there shouldn’t have been any bloodshed. However, since blood is red, it matches my attire well. Sometimes, bloodshed is also a sign of celebration. Execute that young man and Jia Kun here!"

Jia Mengqing, with all her acupuncture points sealed, had a mind that went completely blank upon hearing her father and Du Zishi’s words. She had been promised that if she agreed to marry Du Zishi, Ye Chenfeng and Jia Kun would be safe. Why is this happening? Why did they deceive her?

Ye Chenfeng only has the Initial Stage of the Third Layer Heavenly God Realm strength, and Jia Kun is only just stepping into the Peak Stage strength. In the face of today’s setup, they are undoubtedly doomed.

Jia Mengqing’s eyes reddened instantly, realizing that she had implicated Grandpa Kun, and dragged Ye Chenfeng, who originally had nothing to do with her, into this. She tried with all her might to circulate the Spiritual Qi River within her meridians, but with her acupuncture points sealed, she couldn’t possibly circulate it.

Jia Kun was brought onto the high platform by two members of the Jia family at the Divine Venerable Realm. Though many of his acupuncture points had been sealed, the sealing was not thorough, so at least he could walk on his own, but he couldn’t muster any trace of presence from his body.

Ye Chenfeng was brought up to the high platform by two Mid Divine King Realm Jia family members. Given his Initial Stage of the Third Layer Heavenly God Realm, the Jia family members didn’t even bother to seal his acupuncture points.

Ye Chenfeng calmly walked up to the high platform step by step, the Chaos Griffon lazily perched on his shoulder, with no one noticing the peculiarity of the Chaos Griffon, as everyone thought it was something akin to a little kitty.

However.

Upon arriving at the square, the Chaos Griffon had already, silently and unknowingly, sensed its surroundings, and found that even someone at the Mid Divine Emperor Realm was not present, making it too unchallenging for it.

When Jia Mengqing saw Jia Kun and Ye Chenfeng brought up to the high platform, she was utterly hopeless, her reddened eyes completely dampened, knowing that Jia Kun and Ye Chenfeng were inevitably doomed.
