Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 287 - 156: Wedding, Celebration, and Flexing Muscles (Part 2)

The small household can't compare to a major cultivation sect, it can't withstand much turmoil.

"Convey my greetings to Master Puyou and other fellow cultivators."

"Brother Shu, although our Daluo Alliance's current state can't compare to the millennia-long legacy of the Nine Yin Hall, it's doing quite well!"

The cultivator representing the Nine Yin Hall at the banquet carried the surname Shu. While he was a noteworthy figure elsewhere, he dared not put on airs in front of Zheng Yi and remained courteous throughout.

Especially when he noticed over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, his pupils slightly contracted.

The Spirit Illusion Sect Leader, Yellow Crane Daoist, and Lady Yin Yu, these three well-known Foundation Establishment cultivators, once again made a rare appearance. Zheng Yi reinitiated them to avoid arousing others' suspicions.

However, after this banquet, Zheng Yi planned to take them offline since, facing higher-level cultivators in the future, this kind of soul-seizing behavior could easily be exposed. It was better to have contingencies early on.

Afterward, these three would be thoroughly buried in the Doomsday World, continuously absorbing evil qi underground in the Land of Radiation, nurturing corpse slaves.

Zheng Yi planned to put considerable effort into cultivating these three living corpses; if they could be transformed into something like Flying Yaksha, it would indeed be a kind of fate.

"The Daluo Alliance is flourishing, all thanks to the Alliance Leader's exceptional skills. Not only I, but even several of the elders in the sect are quite impressed!"

The cultivator Shu from the Nine Yin Hall possessed extraordinary demeanor but still felt a significant pressure facing Zheng Yi, speaking politely.

The development of the Daluo Alliance was beyond his expectations.

From the sheer number and quality of Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, although it couldn't yet rival a Purple Mansion sect force like the Nine Yin Hall, it could hold its own against any sect within a thousand li.

Coupled with Zheng Yi, whose deep and unfathomable nature even the elders in the sect feared, the power dynamics of the surrounding few thousand li would likely undergo subtle changes.

This point, upon returning, he would truthfully report to several Purple Mansion elders within the sect. Strengthening cooperation with the Daluo Alliance might not be a bad thing!

"Good, good, come, let's drink!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zheng Yi invited the many cultivators present to drink heartily. However, apart from Zheng Yi himself and the Daluo Alliance members, how many among the other forces could truly relax was perhaps only known to themselves.

This time, the marriage of Zheng Yi, the Alliance Leader of the Daluo Alliance, attracted many cultivation clans and various small forces to congratulate, partly to offer gifts, a substantial wealth.

After all, with the Daluo Alliance now strong and developing rapidly, it was possible that they might someday encompass the territory of some smaller forces. Under the eaves, they had no choice but to bow their heads. Even to become acquainted, those small forces and clans had to swallow their pride and rush to make offerings. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Giving too much hurt, while giving too little might offend them, leaving them with no choice but to bleed and cut their flesh. Otherwise, if reckoning were to come later in the autumn, even looking for a way to send gifts might be impossible.

On the other hand, for the Daluo Alliance, this was also a good opportunity to flex its muscles.

After all, compared to other cultivation forces with hundreds of years of heritage, the Daluo Alliance was hastily cobbled together by Zheng Yi. Although endorsed by the Soul Catching Sect and Black Cliff Mountain, it appeared somewhat shallow to outsiders.

In recent years, due to the reverse nurturing from Doomsday World specialties like Blood Lotus Seeds and Parasitic Bats, there was a trending surge of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Daluo Alliance.

Now, taking advantage of the occasion of Alliance Leader Zheng Yi's marriage, showcasing them one by one not only demonstrated strength and muscle but also deterred others with ulterior motives. It was a win-win situation.

With the emergence of many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Daluo Alliance, it indeed had the desired effect, shocking all the forces present.

Even the Shu cultivator representing the Nine Yin Hall was greatly startled.

Who could have imagined that the Daluo Alliance, established for only a few years and not yet stable, had already assembled such a large force?

The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators can be said to be the best symbol of the heritage of a cultivation sect.

For an ordinary cultivation clan, a single Foundation Establishment cultivator could quell a hundred years.

Even for those larger sects, Foundation Establishment cultivators are like stakes in the ground; each one is the backbone of the sect.

It can be said that this marriage of Zheng Yi gave surrounding forces a clearer understanding of this alliance power that had emerged only a few years ago.

With a Purple Mansion cultivator endorsed by the Nine Yin Hall and over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was practically the configuration of an established sect. Within a few thousand li radius, it could be ranked among the top three powers.

Therefore, many who previously had thoughts about the Daluo Alliance had to put away their petty schemes after this.

Unprovokable, truly unprovokable.

...

After the grand wedding, Qi Lin, as the Daluo Alliance's chief steward, was responsible for liaising with the myriad of large and small forces visiting, discussing various cooperation matters.

Zheng Yi never had to bother with these matters, leaving them entirely to Qi Lin.

This guy might be dogged, but he's steady and has a deep scheming, able to handle both major and minor affairs comprehensively, giving Zheng Yi peace of mind.

After all, Zheng Yi's purpose in building such a large organization with effort wasn't to enjoy superior treatment, but the key was to provide more resources for himself, not to spend his energy managing these trivial matters.

A sect needs such a person, having Zheng Yi backing him, completing all tasks on his behalf.

Hence, Zheng Yi was considering whether to invest some effort in allowing Qi Lin to advance further. If his strength advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, holding the position of Grand Steward of the Daluo Alliance would be all the more justified.

Zheng Yi felt assured entrusting Qi Lin with matters he found inconvenient to handle himself.

Otherwise, having the grand steward of a Purple Mansion power be merely at the Peak of Qi Cultivation would invite ridicule when spoken of, and he might not hold sway.

Cultivators still judged others by their cultivation level, not free from conventional values.

Qi Lin, still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, surely wouldn't feel overly confident facing Foundation Establishment cultivators from other forces.

...

Moonlight descended, enveloping the view in red glow.

The joyous red light illuminated a lavish manor with exceptional grandeur.

Inside a room, two enchanting and delicate figures sat there, motionless, waiting.

After a moment, footsteps sounded, and the door opened, the sound reaching the ears of the two brides, causing their bodies to involuntarily tremble before regaining calmness.

When the red veils were lifted, in the glow of the red lamps, the charming and delicate faces of Luoo Yaoyao and Xin Lingxian were washed in red, akin to rosy apples, making one tempted to take a bite.

Their beautiful eyes almost simultaneously fell on Zheng Yi's face, yet they couldn't discern what he was thinking.

Zheng Yi gave a dry cough, and in a calm tone, slowly said, "The auspicious time has arrived; let us rest."

Soon after, the lights were extinguished, and a soft voice echoed in the darkness.

"Please, my lord, be gentle!"

The door closed tightly, shutting off any sound from inside, as silence reigned outside.

...

The next day, Zheng Yi took his seat in the hall, with Luoo Yaoyao and Xin Lingxian, his two concubines, sitting to the left and right, receiving the homage of subordinates.

Although an agreement had been reached before the marriage, ultimately the two women were married to Zheng Yi, becoming the Alliance Leader's concubines. The status understandably placed them in a position where etiquette and dignity were uncompromised.

In the Cultivation Realm, the relationship between Dao companions is particularly close.

Although the status of concubines does not equal that of a primary wife, as the Alliance Leader of the Daluo Alliance, Zheng Yi wielded nearly ninety percent of the power, making his concubines quite influential within the alliance.

Moreover, Zheng Yi had absolutely no plans to marry or have children.

Thus, the status of his two concubines, Luoo Yaoyao and Xin Lingxian, naturally rose correspondingly.

Watching various esteemed Foundation Establishment cultivators unhesitatingly pay respect made Xin Lingxian and Luoo Yaoyao feel their seats warming as if they might jump up at any moment.
