It's time to be on high alert, to see who will prevail in the Cultivation world. Who will win, in this war between good vs evil.
Kai smiled as he watched Wang May, he couldn't be more prouder as he watched her being seated beside her soon to be husband. Even though Wang May wasn't fond of him, he too at times found her to be really irritating. But nevertheless, he is glad to call her his senior sister. He could see how happy she is, her red qipao matches her creamy skin tone perfectly well. Her hair is done in a Duo Ma Ji, and her lips painted red to match her dress. All in all, she was a beauty to behold.
The ceremony has now started, and Kai was surprised to see so many people. The few wedding ceremonies he has ever been to only had family and close friends. It looks like Wang May wanted to brag about her friends and everybody else, so she invited all the people in their small village. Anyway, the ceremony had begun, but Kai wasn't paying attention. His mind had drifted to the upcoming threat that Fong Woo imposed upon his life, and the entire cultivation world. He also couldn't help staring at Wang May's groom, even though he could only see his side features. But he just felt that he had seen him before, but the feeling wasn't a pleasant one. That man did something, but he just couldn't remember.
The ceremony went on, but Kai couldn't focus on anything else except the groom. Qing Yuan sensed the agitation from him, and placed his hand on top of Kai's. He gave it a gentle squeeze, before transferring a wave of soothing energy that shot all over Kai's body, calming him down a bit. Kai huffs a shaky but calm breath of air, silently thanking Qing Yuan. Which in return, the prince gave his hand another loving squeeze before letting go, and turned back to the ceremony.
It was almost the end of what was supposed to be the happiest celebration of Wang May's life, that Kai's eyes finally made contact with the groom. Kai breath hitched in his throat when he saw the nasty smirk on his face and all his memories came flooding back in. From the way the man had watched him when he first arrived at the palace, and the fire. How could he forget that? The fire that almost killed him. He remembered the face clearly, he had removed the mask from the intruder's face. And that was the face of the man sitting beside his sister. Feng Gao was going to be his brother-in-law, and he had a terrible feeling about the joining of this marital union.
Feng Gao had planned this scheme well. He has got all the cultivators he wanted in one place, and his accomplices are just a mile away waiting for his signal. Feng Gao smiled sinisterly as he locked eyes with Kai, he could sense the boy's fear quite clearly from where he was sitting. And that made Feng Gao even more excited for what's about to happen. But first, he needs to stop this ceremony before he ends up with this mediocre shameless girl sitting beside him. She seriously didn't think he would sense her unfaithfulness, she was pinning on the prince of the Winter Sect kingdom. Her gaze would linger to him even so often, and Gao could feel the lust for the prince coming of her in waves.
'Unfaithful witch!" Feng Gao thought with a snarl, as he look beside him at a smiling Wang May. 'But what do I expect, afterall she is from the bottom of the social scale. That is all they know.' His eyes flashes back to Kai, and he can clearly see that the boy is uncomfortable. By the way how he is tugging anxiously at Qing Yuan's sleeve. Who cast a menacing gaze in his direction, before looking over at a man who sat next to his almost father-in-law. Feng Gao's eyes followed Qing yuan's eyes to the unfamiliar man, and his brows shrunch together in confusion. 'This man seems unfamiliar to me, but yet so familiar. He rediates so much power, power that doesn't even come close to my own.' Gao scratch his chin, as he and the man locked eyes with each other. The man look at him suspiciously, before a fearful look crosses his face. 'Ah, so you do know me' Gao smirk, but the frown. 'But I don't know you.' He look at the man once more, who had turn away and was whispering to Qing Yuan.
"I have enough of this." Feng Gao muttered.
"What was that my love?" Wang May turned to Feng Gao and asked. Her bright smile never left her face.
Feng Gao scoffed, and looked at Wang May with disgust. How could this….. this….this excuse of a woman called me love? I can't believe I almost got married to her.' Gao thought, standing up just as king Li Wei was about to bond them as husband and wife.
"King Li Wei, with all due respect." He bowed to the dragon king. "But would you please do me the honor and stop this nonsense of a ceremony." Loud surprised gasps sounded throughout the conference Hall, and Feng Gao looked around with a satisfied smirk.
"B-beloved, w-what is the meaning of this outburst?" Wang May stuttered, her eyes started to well up with tears as she looked up at the man she was about to call husband.
Feng Gao smirks down at her, and she shrinks back in sudden fear. "You have the audacity to call someone like me beloved, me? Feng Gao? The son of a Mage General? Someone not of your status?" Wang May blink, confusion and hurt swirling around in her head. Wondering why her groom suddenly started acting this way. "You really thought that I would marry someone as ordinary as you? Haha, how funny."
"Feng Gao, what is the meaning of this?" King Li Wei asked.
"What is the meaning of this you ask? Simple, I only wanted this union to get closer to her family. So I could get even closer to him." He pointed out in Kai's direction, causing Qing Yuan to jump up and pull his sword out. Followed by Taio and surprisingly, Shufen.
May got up, and glared at Kai before looking back at Feng Gao with a sumbre expression. "Why do you want to get close to my brother? Tell me that you are just saying that? Tell me that you are just messing around and actually husband and wi-"
Feng Gao cut May off by grabbing a hold of her throat and sneering down at her. "Get this into your thick shameless head. I have never wanted you, how could I when you are not of my status. It would be a shame for me to be wed to someone like you, who brag and boast. Acting like she is all might and above everyone else, when actually you are just a girl with an ordinary mediocre life. So pathetic and sad, envying people who are greater than you." Gao squeezed more tightly on her throat and tears spilled from her eyes. "You just threw yourself at me, not knowing who I was. Just knowing that I was of status, so I decided to use you as an elaborate plan to get closer to your junior brother. He has something that someone very important to me wants and I will stop at nothing to help him get it!"
Realization fell on Li Jie, and he looked over at the Wang family who stood there stricken with shock. But more so Wang Zhang's face, which held so much anger as his hands into fists as he glared daggers at Feng Gao's head. "You good for nothing traitor!" Li Jie drew his sword and pointed it at Gao's back, who laughed and spun around to face him. Wang May's neck is still in his tight hold.
"Traitor?" He started to laugh like a maniac. "How am I a traitor when I wasn't even an Ally."
"Gao, how could you be so cruel? Let the girl go." Li Wei said, his voice dripping in disappointment.
How could you say such a thing? I treat you better than your own father!"
"Hahaha!" Feng Gao only laughed in the king's face.
Li Jie grit his teeth in anger, his sword sharp tip poking Feng Gao in the back. "You heard my father, release the girl." He demanded in a dangerously low voice.
"You want this, here take her. She is of no use to me anyway. But be worn, she will leave you for that young Prospector over there!" He pointed at Qing Yuan, who glared at him. He pushed Wang May carelessly to Li Jie, who caught her with grace. Holding her upright, as she gasps to catch her breath.
"You ignorant boy, we brought you into our home. We treated you like one of our own children. My husband trusted y-" This time it was queen Li Jia who shouted, but Gao blindly interrupted her with a mocking laugh.
"Ah, that's the problem right there. Your husband can be too trusting sometimes, and he is so easy to manipulate. Him, and that pafethic Wang family!"
"You-" The queen shouted, pointing at Feng Gao.
"Me what?!" Feng Gao shouted in rage, making the Dragon disciples and the other cultivators in the conference Hall draw their various weapons. "I have had enough of this, it's time for the real reason why I went through this in the first place!" Feng Gao stepped down from the spot where he was standing, and took out a metallic ball from his sleeve.
King Huang Bao's eyes widened when he realized that the ball actually contained specks of darkness from the orb, and shouted out to warn everyone. But he was a little too late as Feng Gao threw the ball in the air, and it exploded in a matter of thick dark smoke. And not before long, creatures made from the Blood Moon Orb started charging from every entrance of the conference Hall. But what brought chills to everyone's bones, especially Kai's, who started to feel a burning sensation in his chest. Was when a figure dressed in all black, with two small wing shaped cape at the back. His ebony hair hangs loosely but neatly around and over his broad shoulder blades, and gracefully down his back to his waist. His skin pale and flawless, his eyes dark as midnight. But his face was a masterpiece of beauty. Fong Woo descended from the sky that was dark when Feng Gao had sent his signal, in a cloud of swirling black mist. Everyone realized that they were actually lost souls, when he reached the center of the conference Hall and they started to scatter throughout the room. Attacking anyone and everyone.
The Dragon disciples form a protective barrier around the royals inside the conference Hall, as the other cultivators gather the innocent, defenceless wedding goers in a bundle in order to protect them from the chaos that is about to happen.
"Fong Woo!" King Li Wei said with a growl. His nostrils flare as he glares at the smirking man in the middle of the room.
"Yes, it's me. And what is it to you?" Fong Woo snarls at the king. His perfect brows arched, and the corner of his lips tug up into a smirk. And Kai held his breath as Fong Woo's menucing gaze searched the crowd before his eyes landed on him.
