Therefore, Di Jie wants to ensure that the strength of the Di Family members attending the Hu Family wedding is as high as possible. He counts himself, along with a few Human Lord Sixth and Seventh Level elders, totaling seven or eight people, which is barely acceptable, although far inferior to the Hu Family.

Unfortunately.

Because of Su Chen, all the elders of the Di Family have perished, leaving almost no Human Lord Realm experts!!!

As a result, Di Jie can only grit his teeth and decide to bring Di Ji and Di You, who are not even in the Human Lord Realm, to make up the numbers. Surely, there can’t be just Di Jie, the father-in-law.

"Yes!" Di You and Di Ji nodded solemnly, their hearts filled with both tension and excitement.

Initially, such duties never fell on them, but now, unexpectedly, the responsibility landed on them.

Deep inside, both felt grateful to Su Chen. If Su Chen hadn’t slaughtered all the Human Lord experts of the Di Family, they would have remained low-ranked stewards, let alone accompanied the family head to the Hu Family wedding. They couldn’t even occasionally meet the family head. This opportunity is all thanks to Su Chen!

Di Jie watched Di You and Di Ji’s uncontrollable nervousness and excitement, feeling a surge of irritation within. Two wastes.

Knowing well they’re useless, yet he must take them to the Hu Family. Di Jie can already imagine how these two incompetents will be mocked by other Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Rank power cultivators attending the wedding. Those people would probably be stunned, having never seen martial cultivators below the Human Lord Realm level!

Di Jie couldn’t help but recall Su Chen. Despite knowing that Su Chen was already blasted to death in the front segment of the Mother River, his hatred for Su Chen hasn’t diminished.

All because of Su Chen!

That bastard who deserves to die ten thousand times!

To die just like that within the front segment of the Mother River is far too lenient for him.

"Di Gang. How are the preparations for the dowry?" Di Jie diverted his attention from Di You and Di Ji, looking at another person, an elderly man with gentle features yet lacking in strength.

This old man, named Di Gang, has been accompanying Di Jie for millions of years.

Di Gang isn’t strong, but he’s very clever.

Di Gang is the most trusted steward of Di Jie.

"Reporting to the family head, everything is prepared," Di Gang replied, cupping his hands.

"Very well." Di Jie nodded, feeling another surge of resentment in his heart.

A daughter of the Di Family marrying the Young Master of the Hu Family is, as always, a climb-up.

Therefore, the dowry is greatly significant.

It can’t be lacking.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they face even more ridicule?

Originally, Di Jie intended to directly take several top supreme treasures from the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss as the dowry.

But who would’ve thought that the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss would be... directly stolen, leaving not even a strand of hair.

And the treasures within the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss evidently vanished into the void with Su Chen.

Thinking about it makes Di Jie tremble with pain, throughout his flesh.

Yet, even without the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, the dowry must be gathered!

Without a dowry, not only would they endure unbearable ridicule, but the Hu Family members might also express dissatisfaction or even cause trouble!!!

Di Jie forcibly took out a large portion of treasures from his own Space Ring, ones he carried personally, truly causing him flesh-aching pain!

Still, it wasn’t enough.

He then knelt before the Old Ancestors to beg for two decent treasures to complete the dowry.

"And what about those escorting the bride?" Di Jie inquired further.

The escorting members are essential.

Those escorting the bride are divided into two parts: the protectors and the bridesmaids.

As for the bridesmaids, it’s not difficult, as they only need to be reasonably attractive and possess passable strength. The Di Family has many young women, and bridesmaids have already been chosen: Di Xu and Di Liu.

Di Jie’s main concern is the protectors.

In the martial arts world, martial arts strength is everything.

As protectors in the bridal escort, journeying to the Hu Family, there are two important criteria: youth and strength!

Be aware, during the reception of the bride, there’s an essential procedure: intercepting the groom.

In the customs of the Grand Cosmos World, to successfully receive the bride, the groom needs to pass three checkpoints.

The first checkpoint is crossing the volcano!

The second is severing the beast’s head!

The third is battle!!!

The ’battle’ in the third checkpoint involves the war between the groom and his relatives and friends against the protectors escorting the bride.

They must win to proceed.

Di Jie isn’t worried about whether the Young Master of Hu Family can win, but worries whether the protectors escorting from the Di Family can last even a single move?

If they cannot withstand a single move, it would be humiliating and become a joke.

"This..." Di Gang paused in silence.

Despite being streetwise, having helped Di Jie deal with countless complex matters over these years, being a competent steward.

But even the most capable woman fears lacking grain!

The Di Family now lacks grain.

Not only have all Human Lords been massacred by Su Chen.

The young generation in the Di Family, who were originally qualified to be bridal escort protectors like Di Xiao, Di Yang, Di Heng, and others, were all slaughtered clean by Su Chen!

"Damn bastard!!!" Di Jie’s mouth twitched, his complexion turning ghastly pale.

How much did Su Chen destroy the Di Family’s foundation?

How much did he ruin the billions of years of accumulation of the Di Family?

Even the daughter’s wedding was more than half destroyed!

Di Jie ultimately sighed: "For protectors, pick two randomly. When the groom arrives, I’ll put my old face on the line to explain the situation to him."

After pausing for a moment, Di Jie further instructed: "First, head to the Martial Training Field in Front Mountain to await the groom’s arrival."

Considering the time, it should be almost ready.

"Yes!"

Soon.

The entire Martial Training Field in Front Mountain was filled with the Di Family’s martial cultivators.

Of course, they were all from the direct lineage.

Members from branch and distant relatives didn’t qualify to meet the Hu Family’s bride reception team.

Meanwhile.

Jinxian Pavilion.

Di Deijin sat in front of the dressing mirror.

Two maids were styling and dressing Di Deijin.

Di Deijin, already extraordinarily beautiful, appeared even more enchanting at this moment.

From time to time, the two maids were entranced.

The young lady is extraordinarily beautiful.

Perhaps only a lady possessing such peerless beauty can align with that direct lineage Young Master from an Eighth Rank power?

Not far away, two young and attractive women stood, though they paled compared to Di Deijin, they were decent.

The two women were Di Xu and Di Liu, martial cultivators ranked in the top fifty on the Dragon Green List among the young generation of the Di Family, quite outstanding.

The two women were Di Deijin’s bridesmaids.

Di Xu and Di Liu stood behind, their beautiful eyes fixed on Di Deijin, filled with indescribable envy in their hearts.

Di Deijin is to marry the Young Master of the Hu Family!
