Chapter 1684: Chapter 906: The Grand Wedding (Part 2)

Surrounded by such an atmosphere, Luo Tuo and Tian Xun chatted for a long time.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Su Liqian returned to the room. The Giant Wood Clan’s wedding customs differ from those in the Human Realm of Central State. In Central State, the bride awaits the groom in the room, whereas in the Giant Wood Clan, the bride and groom host the guests together at the banquet. The Giant Wood Clan does this to show respect for women and adhere to the concept of gender equality.

Without the prejudice and outdated customs of the Human Realm in Central State, Lin Feng also promoted the concept of equality among all people in Peace City, advocating gender equality. This kind of harmonious equality and mutual respect is the true path to peace and prosperity in the Human Realm. Equality is not about ignoring etiquettes but about respecting individuality and promoting the idea of gender equality. It is not about breaking down hierarchies and eradicating classes, but about an equal ideology that aligns with the development of the Human Realm.

There is no absolute equality in the world, but there is gender equality and equality of opportunities and human rights. As for status or wealth, everyone has the common opportunity to strive for it. This is the healthy and norm-aligned equal ideology for the development of the Human Realm.

The Giant Wood Clan embodies such an ideology, which is why Lin Feng was able to become a hero of the Giant Wood Clan from an outsider and enjoy the highest honors.

After marrying Su Liqian, Lin Feng naturally became a member of the Giant Wood Clan. The responsibility on Lin Feng’s shoulders grew heavier; he now considered not only the peace of the Human Realm of Central State but also the peace and harmony of all ethnicities in the Human Realm.

After consummating their marriage, Lin Feng and Su Liqian officially became husband and wife. Su Liqian also experienced the transformation into womanhood and matured significantly overnight.

According to the Giant Wood Clan’s attire, Su Liqian’s clothing also became more mature. She lost some of her girlish innocence but gained maturity and grace.

Lin Feng and Su Liqian had no time to enjoy their newlywed days before the people from the Six Great Sects came to them. Among the Six Great Sects, only the Fat Uncle was on good terms with Lin Feng, and the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sound Pavilion was saved in time by the Fat Uncle’s arrival, preserving his life for a day.

Lin Feng later learned that the Fat Uncle, while chasing them, encountered a signal sent by the Sect Leader. The Fat Uncle decided to temporarily change his route and head towards the signal’s source.

Along the way, he encountered many scattered disciples of the Six Great Sects and small leaders from various sects. In this manner, the Fat Uncle moved along the path, rescuing the severely injured Illusion Sound Pavilion Sect Leader from a group of assassins. Even though the Sect Leader lived due to heavy injuries, his cultivation was completely ruined. Consequently, he passed the position of Sect Leader to the Fat Uncle, who, unable to decline, accepted the position under the support of the sect members as the new Sect Leader of the Illusion Sound Pavilion.

At that time, the Fat Uncle had not yet returned to the Illusion Sound Pavilion to take office, but he had obtained the Sect Leader’s Token. It was unclear whether the Vice Sect Leader at the headquarters in Yuhua City would recognize him as the new Sect Leader upon his return.

Thus, the Fat Uncle came to find Lin Feng, asking him to accompany him to Yuhua City to help him securely assume the position of Sect Leader. Only then could the Fat Uncle, in his capacity as Sect Leader, regroup the Six Great Sects to unite against the corrupt Court.

For the future of the Human Realm’s Righteous Path, Lin Feng set out on the road to Yuhua City to help the Fat Uncle unite the Six Great Sects.

At that time, of the over seven thousand people from the Six Great Sects who participated in the war, fewer than two thousand remained. Moreover, only half of the disciples from the core of the sects survived, and since most of the experts had been dispatched, the remaining strength of the Six Great Sects was at its last gasp, having reached a precarious life-or-death juncture.

With just a wave of the hand, the Court could overthrow the remaining forces of the Six Great Sects. Therefore, the Six Great Sects must come together to get through this crisis; only then could the Righteous Path endure.

For the Righteous Path in the Human Realm, this time Lin Feng had to stand at the forefront of the Human Realm. When Lin Feng was leaving, Su Liqian initially wanted to go with him, but Lin Feng said that the crisis in the Human Realm was too risky for her, and she should stay in the Giant Wood Clan and wait for his return. Unable to go against Lin Feng’s insistence, Su Liqian reluctantly agreed verbally.

Lin Feng and the others prepared on the second day, and on the third day, they set out vigorously towards the territory of the Court in the Human Realm.

The first objective for Lin Feng and the others was to reclaim Peace City. This way, the Six Great Sects would have a footing in the Human Realm. Once Peace City was back in Lin Feng’s hands, it would return to its former prosperity.

The Armored Soldiers, unable to defeat Lin Feng, retreated to Beijing, and after they left, Lin Feng used a spell to heal Cheng Lang, who had been controlled by the Armored Soldiers with sedatives.

After awakening, Cheng Lang also became disillusioned with the Court to which he had pledged allegiance. The Court’s infighting for their own power and letting the Human Realm almost get destroyed by foreign forces was distressing. Had it not been for Lin Feng’s brilliant victory, the Human Realm would likely have long since fallen to foreign oppression. In this crisis, the Court was intent on its internal strife, nearly destroying the Righteous Path and allowing foreign aggression unchecked.

Such a detestable and foolish Court is one that everyone could wish to punish.

Lin Feng thought about it and realized why the Marquis of Yunzhou wanted to rebel. If the Marquis of Yunzhou was acting for the people’s good, aiding him in taking control of the Human Realm wouldn’t be an inadvisable action.

A month after capturing Peace City, the Court had not sent forces to reclaim it. Perhaps they knew they would have no grounds against the Six Great Sects, so they temporarily allowed them to guard the Human Realm’s frontiers. Moreover, some meticulous and cunning people advised the Emperor to grant Lin Feng an official position, so on the surface, Peace City, as the portal of the Human Realm, still seemed under the Court’s jurisdiction.

With this official position, the Six Great Sects could carry out their activities more freely within Peace City, nurturing new talents for the Righteous Path in the Human Realm. As long as the Dao Heart of the Human Realm remained unbroken, vitality in the world was still possible.

After resolving the matters in Peace City, a letter was left in the hall of the Clan Leader of the Giant Wood Clan.

Old Giant looked at the letter on the table, seated firmly in the main seat of the hall. The elder solemnly slapped the wooden tea table, letting out a heavy sigh.

Just then, Luo Tuo came in to report, and seeing the Clan Leader sighing like this prompted him to ask with concern, "Clan Leader, what’s the matter with you?"

Luo Tuo, with a worried expression, hastily questioned the anxious-looking Clan Leader. He seemed very considerate, as the Clan Leader adopted Luo Tuo, Tian Xun, and Su Liqian after his son in the clan died in battle twenty-five years ago, raising them as his own children, with great care.

However, because Su Liqian was a girl, younger, and naturally naive, he gave her extra attention and care.

Luo Tuo, being inherently brave but acting impulsively, was under stricter guidance from the Clan Leader, yet he understood the Clan Leader’s good intentions and was deeply grateful.

Seeing Luo Tuo, the Clan Leader said to him, "Feng Luo, come here."

Feng Luo was Luo Tuo’s name and was his original name before coming to the Giant Wood Clan. Seeing the Clan Leader calling him, Luo Tuo realized it concerned a troubling issue. In the clan, aside from troubles with the Bihua Heavenly Pond, only his beloved niece Su Liqian could worry the Clan Leader so.

The sworn brother of Old Giant, Gu Yunyu, was a Jiuxiao Realm Sword Master in the Human Realm, but eighteen years ago, he was killed by a mysterious person while heading to the Jiuxiao Double Banquet. Upon hearing the news, Old Giant immediately dispatched people to locate Gu Yunyu’s wife and daughter, finding Su Liqian as a two-year-old child, full of innocence. Old Giant did not tell her about her father’s death, and to this day, Su Liqian only knows her father went to the Jiuxiao Realm to practice advanced Immortal Law.

Truly, it was a testament to Old Giant’s profound care and concern.

Su Liqian and her mother had been living with the Giant Wood Clan for two years when her mother, upon learning the truth, chose to follow her husband in passing. Su Liqian, then five, was left under the care of the clan, and so Old Giant took on the role of both father and mother, raising Su Liqian, Tian Xun, and Feng Luo to adulthood.
