Chapter 325: Chapter 248 Getting Married_3

Zhao Sheng’s grand wedding with Dong Miaozhen was also an event that needed to be celebrated with great pomp and circumstance.

The reasons for this were understood by all, and there’s no need to elaborate on them here.

…

A year flew by in the blink of an eye.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, an auspicious day suitable for weddings and funerals, arrived!

That day, Xinglong City was adorned with lanterns and colorful banners, and the sounds of gongs and drums filled the air. The residents of the city were overjoyed and eagerly anticipated the wedding, a rare event that came once in a hundred years.

Starting half a month earlier, wave after wave of guests had begun to arrive in Xinglong City. Among them were various Cultivation Families allied with the Zhao Family through marriage, friends and relatives, and significant figures from numerous affiliated powers.

In addition, Major Sects from the Southern Border sent representatives to offer their congratulations.

Members of the Zhao Clan who had joined Sects also returned to Xinglong City one after another.

It could be said that this grand wedding was an excellent opportunity for the Zhao Family to demonstrate its strength to the outside world.

On the day of the wedding, both Golden Core Ancestors of the Zhao Family and thirty-one Foundation Establishment Elders made their presence known. They not only deterred various malevolent spirits and Snake Gods but also scared away many ill-intentioned forces, successfully defusing the unfounded rumors of the Zhao Family’s decline.

And for the past half a month, Zhao Sheng had been so busy that he hardly had time to touch the ground, let alone find time for cultivation.

Naturally, he didn’t need to worry about the wedding preparations, but whenever a group of guests arrived in Xinglong City, Family Head Zhao Dexuan would call on him to accompany and receive the guests.

Zhao Sheng understood the purpose of Family Head Zhao Dexuan.

He was about to step from the shadows into the limelight and become the “face” of the entire Xinglong Zhao Family.

And since he was to be the “face,” social interaction was inevitable, and networking was exceptionally important as well.

Zhao Sheng handled these trivial matters of hospitality with exceptional proficiency, without any slip-ups in his dealings with people; he didn’t need any guidance from Zhao Dexuan.

This also made Zhao Dexuan click his tongue in wonder.

…

The sun reached its zenith, and the auspicious time had arrived!

Suddenly, the sound of the great Hong Zhong and Da Lu bells tolled eighty-one times, echoing through the Cloud Sky, reverberating for miles.

In an instant, countless flower petals fell from the sky above Xinglong City, and verdant trees and orchids sprouted from the ground. The sky was filled with multiple rainbows at once.

A massive rainbow bridge, over a hundred feet wide, appeared from the horizon, its end connected to the Eight Diagrams Bright Tower.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying Croc Dragon, with a body as long as a hundred feet and massive as a mountain, flew along the rainbow bridge from the end of the sky, arriving above Xinglong City.

Surrounding the Croc Dragon, thousands of Cloud Phoenix Birds with white feathers and colorful crowns fluttered and danced, each with a beautiful young woman in white attire standing on its back.

Amid a highly festive melody, the palace doors on the back of the Croc Dragon slowly opened, and two rows of men and women in red emerged. They held and displayed various Strange Treasures, each of tremendous value.

The scale of the Dong family’s wedding procession and the wealth of the dowry were so astonishing that people talked about it with wide eyes and wagging tongues, and it remained a favorite topic among the members of the Xinglong Zhao Family for centuries.

In Xinglong City, the majority of residents only caught a glimpse of the bride in her phoenix crown and red wedding dress stepping out of the palace, before she was spirited away into the Bright Tower by the radiant groom.

As for the wedding ceremony itself, only a select few central clan members and honored guests had the privilege to witness this grand marriage.

Actually, some of the Cultivators who were invited to the event were so intimidated by the power and unfathomable connections displayed by the Xinglong Zhao Family that they were left speechless.

Some forces, unaware of the true situation, became even more fearful of the Xinglong Zhao family upon seeing that nearly half of the top forces from the Central Continent had also sent representatives to deliver congratulatory gifts.

For a while, it was unknown how many forces dismissed thoughts of disadvantage to the Zhao Family, and how many swiftly changed their stance, choosing to proactively befriend the Zhao Family.

It can be said that on the occasion of Zhao Sheng’s marriage, the Xinglong Zhao Family made a killing.
