Chapter 855: Chapter 855: The Rise of Xuanyuan, The Emergence of Alani

Zane Crawford lowered his handsome eyelids, looking at Serena Sterling at that very moment. He knew in his heart that her decision to leave was final. He hadn’t planned to make her stay, but Serena, just wait a moment, just a moment will do. Later on, I’ll personally take you home.

The bridesmaid brought the wedding scale, "Groom, you may unveil the bride now. May you have a loving and happy life together, with everything as you wish."

Zane Crawford extended his fair and beautiful fingers to receive the wedding scale.

He slowly lifted the red veil.

Serena Sterling raised her head and looked at him.

This single glance suddenly broke into Zane Crawford’s line of sight. She was adorned in a brilliant red phoenix coronet and ceremonial robe, her hair styled for him, the gold hairpins and dangling ornaments clinking. Her delicate and stunning face emanated a breathtaking radiance.

This glance, endured over the years, undying.

Serena Sterling’s bright eyes watched him, yet with no warmth in their depths, "Zane Crawford, is this enough?"

Zane Crawford raised his hand, dismissing the bridesmaid, "You may leave now."

"Yes." The bridesmaid withdrew.

The room now left with just the two of them, Serena Sterling curled her red lips in sarcasm, "Zane Crawford, I’ve fulfilled my promise to you. Surely you’re not still thinking about... the bridal chamber?"

Zane Crawford looked down at her, "If I said I wanted to, what would you do?"

Serena Sterling’s eyes flashed with a chill, then she whistled.

"Ah!" There were screams outside, "A wolf! It’s a wolf!"

The next second, the window of the bridal chamber shattered, and a wolf as tall as a person leaped in, obediently crouching at Serena Sterling’s feet. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Serena Sterling looked at Zane Crawford, "Zane Crawford, tonight you’d best stay away from me. Otherwise, the wolf’s claws are merciless, and you’ll have to deal with that yourself!"

At this time, the wolf king let out a howl towards Zane Crawford, baring a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Tonight’s wedding night, Serena Sterling had the wolf king on guard, keeping Zane Crawford at a distance.

Zane Crawford said nothing, he turned and left.

He just walked away like that?

Serena Sterling felt a bit suspicious, she didn’t know what scheme he had in mind again, "Zane Crawford, where’s Mr. Crawford? You promised me, give Mr. Crawford back to me!"

Zane Crawford didn’t turn his head, "I did promise you, but not tonight."

After saying this, he left.

Serena Sterling clenched her fist, he actually played word games with her, utterly shameless!

However, her people had already gone to search for Mr. Crawford’s whereabouts and would bring him out.

Now, she must hurry to the banks of the Luo River; her people were all there, and she feared any delay might pose a danger.

She didn’t know why tonight she felt restless, with a constant sense that something was going to happen.

...

Zane Crawford exited the bridal chamber, Wade Wyatt whispered, "Master, I’ve had someone stall Titus Ashworth, now you can go to the ancestral temple."

"Good." Zane Crawford nodded, "How is Serena?"

"Everything is arranged, Miss Serena will have a smooth journey out of the royal city tonight, Master, Miss Serena is so wise, there’s no need to worry."

Indeed, she’s so wise, even without him, she could safely leave the royal city.

But he still couldn’t rest easy, fearing even the slightest danger for her.

"Let Alani’s people handle my big brother, let Serena take him back," Zane Crawford ordered.

"Yes." Wade Wyatt nodded.

"We should go."

"Master, I don’t understand... Why are we going to the ancestral temple, there’s only the Sky Sword there." Wade Wyatt couldn’t understand why his master wanted to go there.

Zane Crawford lifted his cold black eyes to gaze at the black night ahead, then lightly lifted his thin lips, "To pull out the Sky Sword!"

What?

Wade Wyatt’s eyes widened, he suspected he was hallucinating, his master going to draw the Sky Sword?

But only the blood of a pure child can draw the Sky Sword?

No, drawing the Sky Sword would lead to death!

"Master!" Wade Wyatt followed closely, alarmed.

...

Ancestral Temple.

Zane Crawford entered the inner chamber, where the Sky Sword, radiating its sharp cold gleam, stood resolutely.

Zane Crawford stepped forward, reaching out his hand.

"Master, you mustn’t!" Wade Wyatt swiftly stopped him, "Master, I don’t know how you became the blood of a pure child, but you absolutely mustn’t draw this Sky Sword, once drawn you will suffer heart and veins damage and perish."

Zane Crawford spoke indifferently, "I know."

He knew, Hayden Crawford must not die, because if he died, Serena would be heartbroken.

So, only he could replace Hayden Crawford.

"Wade Wyatt, step back."

"Master, you truly cannot!" Wade Wyatt fell to his knees.

Zane Crawford was resolute, nothing could stop him. He extended his hand, grasped the Sky Sword, and slowly exerted force.

The Sky Sword slowly emerged from the fissure in the ground, the entire ancestral temple began to tremble again.

Blood welled up in Zane Crawford’s throat, and with a cough, he quickly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wade Wyatt’s eyes turned red, "Master!"

Zane Crawford wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then, using all his strength, slowly and determinedly drew the Sky Sword out.

...

The small earthquake prompted by the ancestral temple quickly dyed half the sky over Westria red, this spectacle drew everyone’s attention.

People all stepped out from their houses, looked up at the crimson sky, and started discussing,

"Quick, look, what’s going on over there?"

"Heavenly phenomenon, it feels like something big is happening!"

Titus Ashworth was poured with lots of liquor and was somewhat drunk, then someone hurriedly ran over, panic-stricken, "Sire, something terrible has happened, the Sky Sword has been drawn!"

What?

Titus Ashworth sprang from his chair, cold sweat breaking out all over him, sobering up most of his earlier state of intoxication.

Titus Ashworth hurriedly ran out, nearly stumbling while rushing.

He pushed through the crowd, looked up, only to see the redness in the sky growing deeper, as if the earth itself had been soaked in blood.

This is bad!

Titus Ashworth’s heart sank completely, he knew that the Sky Sword sealed in the ancestral temple for a hundred years had been drawn.

Sky ascends, Alani emerges.

Back then Alani vanished into the sea, and now, it returns forcefully to the world’s sight.

What’s going on?

Inside Titus Ashworth, waves of shock had arisen, who had drawn the Sky Sword?

Hayden Crawford was already dead, no pure blood remained in this world, who on earth drew the Sky Sword?

"Someone! Quickly!" Titus Ashworth called out.

"Yes, sire." The subordinates quickly came forward.

"Hurry to the ancestral temple, seal the city gates, I want an investigation, I want this person brought out!"

At this moment, someone beside him cried out, "Look over there, a mirage! My goodness!"

Titus Ashworth raised his eyes to see, only to find the banks of the Luo River ahead, the long river flowing east, the cold mist on the water slowly dispersing, the view growing clearer.

The bright moon hung high at this moment, the river waters clear to the bottom, sparkling with waves, so beautiful it’s surreal.
