Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion-Chapter 2323 - : 1079, Fetching the Bride
Chapter 2323: 1079, Fetching the Bride
“What marriage placement, what betrothal gifts,” Wu Mingjue was somewhat bewildered.
Tao Yuyu beside him was also at a loss.
“But elder jests, my Yuteng Dao Sect dare not presume to have the elites of Nine Mysteries Dao enter into marriage.”
“Elder sees favor in a disciple of my Yuteng Dao Sect, we will return to the sect to arrange the dowry immediately so that Yuyu may marry gloriously into the Nine Mysteries Dao.”
The speaker was Bao Yunzeng of the Yuteng Dao Sect, this sect’s second highest expert, who now spoke with utmost respect and caution.
He was afraid, truly afraid.
...
A strong cultivator from the True Dao Sect in the Physical Body Mystery Hiding Realm, Feng Shaolin, was presently lying on the ground.
He, a practitioner of the eighth levels in the Rebirth Realm, feared that should he misspeak, he too would end up lying next to Feng Shaolin.
As for the matter of potentially angering the True Dao Sect by joining through marriage with the Nine Mysteries Dao, that was a concern for another day.
For today, it was most important to save his own life.
All around, gazes drifted towards Han Muye, then shifted to the male and female disciples who were at a loss.
Wu Mingjue felt as though he had been sold off by his Ancestor, yet looking at Tao Yuyu beside him, there was a trace of joy in his heart.
Tao Yuyu felt as if she had been sold off by the sect, but seeing Wu Mingjue beside her, a tinge of shyness appeared in her eyes.
“Ancestor…” Daoist Hu Yu stepped forward, looking at Han Muye.
Han Muye waved his hand, saying loudly, “Choosing a date is less significant than meeting the right opportunity; let us set the wedding for ten days from now. At that time, our Nine Mysteries Dao will visit the Yuteng Dao Sect to deliver the bride price and fetch the bride.”
…
Nine Mysteries Dao.
Upon returning to the sect, Daoist Hu Yu and others wore expressions mixed with emotion, having nearly died surrounded by Yuteng Dao Sect and True Dao Sect at the abandoned mine.
The disciples, meanwhile, were more excited.
Not only did their sect possess a powerful ancestor who effortlessly captured the cultivator in the Mystical Hidden Realm, but now another old ancestor had awoken.
The strength of Ancestor Yun Lang might not surpass that of their ancestor, but truly, it was a formidable power that was previously unimaginable within Nine Mysteries Dao.
Daoist Yun Lang did not return with Han Muye to Nine Mysteries Dao; instead, he went to search for Yang Qin who was taken by the True Dao Sect, as per the information given by Han Muye.
Furthermore, he had many old friends who could be introduced into Nine Mysteries Dao.
The heritage of Nine Mysteries Dao could give these awakened cultivators from the ancient times a chance to fight, making it a heritage that could gather significant power.
Inside the hall of Nine Mysteries Dao Sect, Daoist Hu Yu led a nervous Wu Mingjue to Han Muye.
“Ancestor, are we truly going to visit the Yuteng Dao Sect to deliver the bride price and fetch the bride?”
Daoist Hu Yu spoke, while Wu Mingjue looked anxiously at Han Muye.
Han Muye turned to look at them both, smiled, and said, “Having already spoken, would we go back on our word?”
Many had heard the promises Han Muye made at the abandoned mine.
And since Han Muye had saved many cultivators, those people expressed gratitude and said they wanted to witness the wedding between Nine Mysteries Dao and Yuteng Dao Sect.
This presented an opportunity for Nine Mysteries Dao to garner reputation.
However, Daoist Hu Yu now worried whether fetching the bride might provoke retaliation from the True Dao Sect.
This time, capturing several dozen Golden Armored Soldiers and a Mystical Hidden Realm strong cultivator had severely offended True Dao Sect.
“Ancestor, perhaps it would be better for me to go alone to fetch the bride,” Wu Mingjue looked up at Han Muye and spoke solemnly.
If he went alone and encountered an ambush from the True Dao Sect, at worst, he would just die.
Han Muye looked at Wu Mingjue, his smile making Wu Mingjue’s face flush red.
“Rest easy, prepare to be the groom; your ancestor will ensure you get your bride,” Han Muye said, causing Wu Mingjue to lower his head, unable to look up.
Daoist Hu Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “Since the ancestor has decided to fetch the bride, then our Nine Mysteries Dao must prepare the bride price.”
“If it really is possible to align Yuteng Dao Sect with our Nine Mysteries Dao, it would also be a good thing.”
Although Yuteng Dao Sect was not much stronger than Nine Mysteries Dao, its affiliation as an ally of True Dao Sect alone, if persuaded to join them, would also weaken the True Dao Sect.
Nine Mysteries Dao was initially unwilling to offend True Dao Sect, but with the position of their ancestor made clear, True Dao Sect was determined not to let go of Nine Mysteries Dao, hence a confrontation was inevitable.
“Come to me tomorrow, and bring the talismans I’ve refined. Take this jade token to the Jade Talisman Pavilion,” Han Muye said as he looked at Daoist Hu Yu.
What kind of decent dowry could the Nine Mysteries Taoist Sect offer?
Since Han Muye mentioned bringing a dowry, he naturally couldn’t disgrace the reputation of the Nine Mysteries Path.
Seeing the jade token in Han Muye’s hand, Daoist Hu Yu’s eyes widened.
“This, this is from the Jade Talisman Pavilion—”
Han Muye waved his hand, set the jade token down, and headed straight back to his own courtyard.
Daoist Hu Yu’s palms trembled slightly as he grasped the jade token.
“Uncle Master, is this jade token very precious?” Wu Mingjue curiously looked at the jade token and asked in a low voice.
Daoist Hu Yu grinned and waved his hand, “Selling the entire Nine Mysteries Path wouldn’t fetch this single jade token.”
That expensive?
Wu Mingjue wanted to take another look but quickly pulled his head back.
Better not touch it, just in case it breaks; I definitely couldn’t afford the loss.
————————————
In seven days, the Nine Mysteries Path produced thirty sets of talismans, which they exchanged at the Jade Talisman Pavilion for tens of thousands of Source Stones.
These Source Stones were then used to purchase various supplies, transported to the Nine Mysteries Path in carts.
The extensive purchases of the Nine Mysteries Path caused a stir for miles around.
The rivalry between the Nine Mysteries Path and the True Dao Sect, as well as the marriage alliance with the Yuteng Dao Sect, also spread.
Before the day of the wedding, thousands of cultivators had already gathered around the Nine Mysteries Path.
All along the road from the Nine Mysteries Path to the Yuteng Dao Sect, cultivators were scattered everywhere, waiting.
“The Nine Mysteries Path’s wedding procession has set out!”
“Eighteen carts, the dowry is worth at least thirty thousand Source Stones—this is quite a grand gesture.”
“Here they come, they’ve already crossed the Wanlin River.”
Voices carried through the air as the number of cultivators surrounding the Nine Mysteries Path’s wedding procession continued to grow.
After crossing Nine Mystic Mountain and the Wanlin River, and traveling a hundred miles, the gates of the Yuteng Dao Sect came into view.
There too, many cultivators waited and watched.
“Here they come, they’re really here!”
The wedding procession from the Nine Mysteries Path wasn’t intercepted by the True Dao Sect as many had expected but truly arrived at the Yuteng Dao Sect.
Had the True Dao Sect backed down this time?
This was a dominion of overlords spanning thousands of miles, yet they dared not confront the Nine Mysteries Path?
A flicker of hope rose in many hearts.
At the forefront of the Nine Mysteries Path’s procession, Wu Mingjue, dressed in a red robe, looked anxious, while Han Muye, not far behind him, looked calmly up at the mountain range ahead.
As the wedding procession reached the gates of the Yuteng Dao Sect, Daoist Hu Yu led a group of disciples to hand over the dowry.
The Yuteng Dao Sect also presented a dowry, not inferior in value to what the Nine Mysteries Path had offered.
Tao Yuyu, dressed in bridal red, was escorted out of the gates to face Wu Mingjue.
They faced each other, both feeling a sense of disbelief.
They had met during a mission, and their hearts had stirred for each other.
But with their sects so different in stature, Wu Mingjue never dared to dream of this day.
“What a pair of lovers, such a perfectly matched scene.”
“Now that the Yuteng Dao Sect and Nine Mysteries Path have formed an alliance, let this auspicious day mark the start of your united front!”
From the void, a voice sounded.
Far off, atop the mountain range, trails of golden light and clouds rose.
Pillars of blood essence smoke, Physical Body Mystery Hiding Realm.
The True Dao Sect, had arrived.
