Amidst the joyous sounds of drums and gongs, a group of people appeared in a grand procession. Some were beating drums, some were playing gongs, some were blowing horns, and some were holding signs. The sign clearly read "Marriage Escort!"
As for the attire of these people, it was also very festive. From the outside, they indeed looked like a wedding escort team, which was exactly where people were confused. They couldn't figure out where this team came from and who they were coming to marry?
The most important thing was that, although these people were dressed in festive attire, they were also very strange. Not for anything else, just because each of their faces was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see their features clearly.
"Stop right there! Who are you?" The guards of the city lord's mansion rushed out and blocked the group of people outside the city lord's mansion, carefully observing them.
"We are following the orders of the Grey Robe Master to come and marry the daughter of the city lord, Su Mei." One of the leaders shouted.
"What? Marry Su Mei? Su Mei isn't's fiancée? How could they come to marry Su Mei?"
"Also, who is that Grey Robe Master? How could he come to marry the daughter-in-law of the family on the day of the wedding of the family? He is literally humiliating the family in front of everyone!"
The crowd shouted in surprise. People were stunned by that one sentence. Even the guards of the city lord's mansion were bewildered and at a loss. But they could be certain of one thing: this group of people was clearly here to cause trouble. As for whether they were attacking the family or the city lord's mansion, that was unknown.
"Damn it, having the nerve to come and cause trouble on my family's territory, you really don't know how to live!" The family's lord was furious. Before the guards of the city lord's mansion could take any action, he instructed his subordinates to charge at the group of people. However, he only ordered to arrest them, not to kill them.
As for why? That was naturally because today was a joyous occasion and bloodshed was not allowed. Otherwise, it would be very inauspicious.
"Wooah~~"
Before the family's troops could approach the other side, the leader waved his long sleeves, and a powerful aura descended from the sky, transforming into several invisible blades that instantly killed the dozens of people from the family.
Moreover, that person's methods were extremely cruel. Not only did he kill the people from the family, but he also severed their hands and feet, resulting in an extremely tragic death scene, with blood spilling all over the ground.
"This....."
This scene left everyone astonished and shocked. The onlookers all involuntarily stepped back, with cold sweat forming on their foreheads.
Because just now, they all felt that among the group of people, there was a master of the Xuanwu realm, and a master of the Xuanwu Third Rank.
Moreover, from the merciless methods of the other side, people could be certain that this group of people were definitely not friendly.
"Those who dare to disrupt the Grey Robe Master's good fortune, kill them without mercy!" The person who just attacked said calmly.
Meanwhile, the hundreds of people behind him all put down their belongings and emitted a powerful aura, with three masters of the Xuanwu realm, and the remaining hundreds were all at the peak of the Yuanwu stage.
"Oh my god, who is this divine being with such strength?"
The powerful aura rolled like an invisible hurricane in all directions. Everyone present could feel their oppression. The people from the family and the city lord's mansion were relatively easy to deal with. But the onlookers, the dignitaries and nobles, would have a hard time looking at it.
Because the other side's strength was extremely strong. This was equivalent to the elite force of a second-class sect. No wonder they dared to challenge the family, because they really had some strength.
"A good 'kill without mercy', I really want to see who that Grey Robe Master is."
Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, followed by a fierce gust of wind that swept past. A one-eyed old man appeared in front of Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Ya.
"This is Shangguan Yue, the head of the Shangguan family. It is said that this person has reached the sixth level of the Xuanwu sect and has become the first strongman in Zhuzheng City. Whether this is true or not, I don't know."
When this old man appeared, many people present couldn't help but exclaim. Even Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Ya hurriedly jumped down from their elevated positions and respectfully saluted the one-eyed old man, saying, "Grandpa!"
"You all step back. I alone can easily eliminate this bunch of rats," Shangguan Yue waved his hand. Then, his eyebrows stood upright, and light shone in his one eye. His entire aura changed completely.
One could see that his robe fluttered without wind and danced wildly. The powerful aura surged out from within his body like a tide, transforming into an invisible, immense wave. One wave followed another, crashing onto that group of people.
"God, he really is at the sixth level of the Xuanwu sect. He actually has truly entered the sixth level of the Xuanwu sect."
The powerful aura made everyone present pale. Especially those from the City Lord's Mansion, they were extremely surprised and their faces turned extremely pale. Because this indicated that Shangguan Yue had truly surpassed his family's City Lord Su Han in terms of cultivation. His City Lord Mansion truly lost to the Shangguan family.
In fact, even the Master of the Void Sect was panicked when facing that powerful aura because they never expected that Shangguan Yue had entered the sixth level of the Xuanwu sect.
The Xuanwu realm, each level is like a chasm, something ordinary people cannot cross. So only the third-level Xuanwu him, when facing the sixth-level Xuanwu aura, was like facing an unstoppable giant wave, with nowhere to escape and nothing to defend against. There was only the fate of waiting to die.
At this moment, all the people from the Void Sect couldn't help but feel some regret and began to retreat backward. Although they would gain huge benefits if they succeeded this time, they didn't want to lose their lives for it.
"Humph, indeed a bunch of rats!"
And looking at the timid troops, Shangguan Yue held his chest up and raised his head, coldly snarling. Although his surface was displeased, his heart was ecstatic. No matter who these troops were, they gave him the opportunity to display his strength and establish his authority in Zhuzheng City.
He knew that from today on, the people of Zhuzheng City would no longer fear Su Han the most, but him, Shangguan Yue. The control of Zhuzheng City was destined to fall into the hands of his Shangguan family.
"Trivial tricks!"
But just when everyone thought that the troops were doomed to die, in the wedding carriage, suddenly a voice from an aged man rang out.
And at the same time that the voice rang out, people could clearly see that in front of the troops, a large amount of gray gas appeared. That gas rapidly condensed and in the blink of an eye formed a barrier.
