Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 488 - 408: Su Yuan’s Grand Wedding! True Monarch’s Gift!
After two days of sailing, Su Yuan and his group successfully returned to Dragon City County.
Upon returning, he settled Chen Nuoyi, Motis, and Qi Hanyan, and then immediately went to overturn the case for the Feng Family.
In fact, handling this matter wasn't difficult; it just required some communication with Fan Zhiyun, the Vice Transport Envoy who oversees affairs across the East Continent's various prefectures, to order the Purple Qi Mansion to thoroughly investigate the Feng Family's case.
Of course, this contact with Fan Zhiyun wasn't just for the Feng Family's sake, but also to inform him of Su Yuan's preparation for promotion.
A direct promotion to the Celestial Patrol Envoy of the fifth grade has three requirements.
First, eradicate bandits and make outstanding contributions.
Second, have over eighty percent public approval.
Third, gather three million spirit coins.
Previously, Su Yuan hadn't managed to gather all three million spirit coins.
But after recruiting Feng Xuanxiang, he could logically sell the heads of the two great pirates, Wu Sheng and Xue Jiao, and also pocket their wealth.
In this way, he not only quickly gathered the three million, but also had a decent surplus.
Fan Zhiyun was very satisfied with Su Yuan's efficiency and will soon send someone to collect the three million spirit coins.
Then, in less than a month, Su Yuan could assume his new position.
As for overturning the Feng Family's case, Fan Zhiyun handled it with just a word, without any difficulty.
Within seven days, the Purple Qi Mansion will give Su Yuan, Feng Xuanxiang, and the world a satisfactory answer.
It seems that whoever said the Immortal Official System in the Celestial Law World is inefficient, as long as the money is in place, the efficiency is frighteningly high.
Seven days passed in a blur.
During this time, Su Yuan handed over the three million spirit coins, and the Purple Qi Mansion thoroughly investigated the Feng Family's case, clearing their name.
That day, under Chen Nuoyi's cover, Motis went to Wutong Island to bury the Feng Family's bones, collected secretly over the past decade. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Three days later, the time finally arrived for the county magistrate's wedding.
On this day, the citizens of Dragon City County voluntarily decorated the city with lights and colors, filling it with festive red, creating a lively atmosphere.
As expected by the citizens, County Magistrate Su did not skimp on resources, holding a grand feast and inviting over a million people from across the city. Along with various grand ceremonies, the wedding cost nearly a million spirit coins in total.
Initially, Su Yuan couldn't gather this nearly one million spirit coins.
Fortunately, the four major families and the Six Great Sects were very considerate and generously contributed, covering more than half of the wedding costs.
Of course, during this time, Su Yuan definitely did not use Demon Technique·Finger Technique for any hints.
It was entirely because the leaders of the four major families and the Six Great Sects were overjoyed upon hearing about Su Yuan's imminent promotion and collectively funded to send this troublesome character off in style.
As for the other half of the spirit coins?
County Magistrate Su personally went to the sea to take down wanted criminals and great pirates like Lin Yonghua and Captain Jin, exchanging their heads for reward money.
This way, not only was the wedding fund gathered, but the threat from the sea was eliminated for Dragon City County.
It can be said that Dragon City County is indebted.
The courtyard of the luxurious residence gifted by the Lin Family to Su Yuan was bustling with distinguished guests. Su Yuan, dressed in groom's red, was smiling as he toasted each of the guests in the courtyard.
Chen Nuoyi and Motis, who acted as the accompanying maid, were naturally waiting in the bridal chamber, but Qi Hanyan was different.
At this time, the girl was wearing a guard's uniform, hands behind her back, walking proudly as she patrolled at the entrance of the courtyard.
Assigning Qi Hanyan as the guard for the residence wasn't intentionally done by Su Yuan; it was a task she willingly took on.
Because she wasn't very familiar with the style of official uniforms and noticed that the guard uniform looked similar to a constable's uniform, she equated the two professions, happily received a set of guard uniform, and paraded around the county government office.
The constables and officials didn't dare offend her, pretending not to see anything.
In reality, the difference between a guard and a constable is roughly equivalent to the gap between security and police.
Su Yuan didn't reveal this and simply instructed Qi Hanyan to guard the courtyard entrance today, preventing any suspicious individuals from entering.
After all, protecting the county magistrate is also part of a constable's duty, and so Qi Hanyan happily accepted this task.
Unfortunately, throughout most of the day, Qi Hanyan didn't encounter anyone causing trouble.
This left her slightly dissatisfied, feeling that her role as the "county magistrate's personal bodyguard" wasn't being fully utilized.
Just when the banquet was at its peak, with no guests arriving, a figure suddenly appeared in Qi Hanyan's sight, immediately catching the girl's attention.
The newcomer was a modestly dressed elderly woman holding a box and smiling as she walked toward them.
"It's an unfamiliar old lady."
A thought flashed through Qi Hanyan's mind, and she immediately approached, saying sternly:
"Granny, County Magistrate Su is having a wedding inside. Do you have an invitation?"
The kindly looking elderly woman carefully scrutinized the pink-haired girl and shook her head saying:
"I don't have an invitation."
"Then what are you here for?"
Qi Hanyan asked curiously.
The elderly woman replied faintly, "I'm here to deliver food."
"Deliver food?"
Qi Hanyan was slightly taken aback, then instinctively waved her hand solemnly:
"Food deliveries are not allowed in!"
"If a mere delivery person dares to break in, don't blame this constable for having you thrown out!"
Old lady: "..."
Listen, does that sound like something a constable would say? Isn't this purely a security guard's words?
While the old lady remained silent with a complex expression, Qi Hanyan seemed to remember something, scratching her head in confusion:
"Wait, does the Celestial Law World have the delivery person profession?"
"No, something's wrong!"
The pink-haired girl's beautiful eyes instantly became sharp, staring seriously at the old woman and said:
"Are you a spy? Come with me…"
As she spoke, Qi Hanyan reached for the rope at her waist, but at that moment, a powerful force suddenly grabbed her from behind.
Qi Hanyan was shocked and thought she was being attacked. She quickly turned her head and saw Su Yuan in a groom's outfit.
She felt a little relieved, only to find that Su Yuan's expression was both anxious and respectful, as if the old woman in front of them was an extraordinary figure.
"Senior Wu Luo, you... why are you here?"
Su Yuan looked carefully at the old woman in front of him and asked cautiously.
"Se... Senior Wu Luo? Mom!"
Qi Hanyan was dumbfounded, looking at the person in front of her in shock.
Wasn't the barrier of the Celestial Law World very thick? Why did her mother suddenly appear?
The old woman spoke in a faint tone:
"No need to be nervous, I won't beat you kids, and this is just one of my incarnations, not my true body."
"As for my purpose... it's my disciple's wedding. If I don't come to give a gift, wouldn't it be disrespectful?"
Su Yuan nervously swallowed, feeling as if he was caught by his mother-in-law while eloping with his girlfriend and secretly holding a wedding.
It was even more serious because the one you're marrying is the daughter-in-law of the mother-in-law, and her biological daughter is sent by you to watch the gate... This situation is beyond words without dying once!
"Se... Senior Wu Luo, it's all for the play to攻略the Celestial Law World... It's not a real marriage."
Su Yuan carefully said.
The old woman gave Su Yuan a deep look, then sneered:
"Just don't turn play into reality."
"How could it be, you're really funny."
Su Yuan quickly laughed, sweat dripping uncontrollably from his forehead.
Even when facing the murderous intent of the Blood Soul True Monarch, his nervousness was not even one-tenth of what it is now.
Because the current scene can't be resolved by strength and fate.
Qi Hanyan saw Su Yuan's predicament and timely came to his rescue:
"Mom, don't scare Su Yuan, by the way, what gift did you bring us, let us see it quickly."
The old woman glanced sideways at her daughter:
"The wedding is not yours. What gift should I bring you? This is for Nuoyi and Su Yuan."
The pink-haired girl awkwardly smiled and scratched her head.
The old woman didn't keep them in suspense and opened the box in front of them.
But to their surprise, the box was completely empty.
Qi Hanyan looked puzzled: "Mom, there's nothing there. Did you bring Blue Star's air?"
Then the old woman slowly said:
"Didn't I say I'm delivering takeout? Waiting for the shop to prepare it."
"Oh, the meal is here."
With that, she suddenly reached out to the azure sky and gently clenched her hand.
Under the shocked gazes of Su Yuan and Qi Hanyan, a figure appeared out of thin air from mid-air.
It was none other than the Blood Soul True Monarch!
The Blood Soul True Monarch, at this time, was like a bug stuck in amber, struggling hard but unable to move.
His expression no longer held its usual majesty, and he looked at the ordinary-looking old woman in terror.
"Senior, I was wrong! From now on, I'll avoid Su Yuan, please spare this little brother!"
Blood Soul True Monarch spoke with extreme fear and humility.
But the old woman had no intention of communicating with him and clenched her old hand again.
Accompanied by a tragedy-filled, yet unpronounceable scream, the Blood Soul True Monarch's body abruptly shrank and transformed into a bead mixed with blood and grey colors.
Subsequently, the forces within this bead repelled each other, separating into a grey and a red bead.
In the next second, the two beads, the size of a baby's fist, transformed into two streaks of light, speeding into the wooden box,
Su Yuan fixed his eyes on the two beads.
The inner wall of the grey bead occasionally displayed the terrified face of the Blood Soul True Monarch.
Inside the red bead was a slumbering infant with closed eyes, surrounded by continuously rippling blood.
Su Yuan surmised that the former was the soul of the Blood Soul True Monarch, while the latter was his physical body and Nascent Soul.
According to Su Yuan's knowledge, the soul of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator should reside within the Nascent Soul.
Now that the two are separated, it can only mean one thing... the Blood Soul True Monarch is dead, and not a peaceful death!
His soul no longer has the possibility of parasitizing and being reborn, leaving only pure spiritual power and the memories of his entire life.
Thinking of this person, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel dry-mouthed.
A terrifying existence estimated to be at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, just died like that?
If this was done by Wu Luo True Monarch's true body, it would be understandable.
But the old woman in front of him was just an incarnation sent into the Celestial Law World by some means!
An incarnation can instantly kill a strong expert at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage...
This frightening existence, known as Wu Luo, who rules over the most worlds, truly deserves her title as one of the strongest Nascent Souls of the Blue Star Federation.
Su Yuan was very grateful she was an ally. If she were an enemy of the Blue Star Federation, he truly wouldn't know how to win against such a terrifying existence.
