Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Among the Ancient Clans
Across from them stood the forces of the Sacred City. They were all dressed in pure white battle robes. Their leader was an old man, radiating the cultivation of a mid-phase Jie-du cultivator. Behind him, at least ten cultivators of the initial Jie-du stage stood.

Also among them were a multitude of young men and women. Apart from the first woman who donned a white battle robe, everyone else had a variation of clothing and visible emotions.

Like GuBei, all these youths were recruited from various places by the War God Hall and had to pay a great price for this opportunity.

Pretty much, every prodigy and monster from the Eastern Domain was here.

“Hehe, Heng Heng, long time no see.” Elder of Heavenly King Hall, King Li, said with a faint smile to Master Heng Heng.

“Elder Li, the last time we saw each other was hundreds of years ago. It really has been a long time. This time you’re visiting our Hai Xianzong, I, as the host, must treat you to a good meal.”

“Sure, sure, but we are in the Gu family. It’s more appropriate for someone from the Gu family to speak,” King Li replied with a smile.

He looked like a warm old man, lacking any hint of authority and made people feel quite comfortable.

However, Master Heng Heng would not be fooled by such a facade. He knew too well how terrifying King Li’s methods were. There used to be four transcending powers in the Eastern Domain.

But now only three remained because one of them offended the War God Hall.

The War God Hall wiped out that transcending power hundreds of years ago. Master Heng Heng, who was just making a name for himself, had witnessed that battle.

Back then, King Li was merely at the initial stage of Jie-du, yet his actual strength was extremely horrifying. He killed men or gods who stood in his path and basically reigned supreme!

His methods were extremely brutal. His opponents often died in pieces, all smashed into pulp by a long stick held by King Li.

With such a person, Master Heng Heng dared not disrespect him, let alone play casually with Hai Xianzong.

Keep in mind that King Li currently has a high profile in the War God Hall, which is even more prominent because of the previous legendary battle.

Who in the Eastern Domain would dare to provoke him?

Meanwhile, the leader of the Gu family, Gu Jingguo, appeared in everyone’s sight.

He was a middle-aged man with a solemn face. However, he didn’t dare to act out in front of these two great gods.

His cultivation was merely at the initial stage of the Fusion Period. The reason he was able to see these two super-strong people was because of GuBei.

“Gentlemen, welcome to the Gu family. Our sacred child, GuBei is in retreat. I apologize for his absence. But today is the day he leaves his retreat. I hope Elder Li will forgive us,” Gu Jingguo said, quickly moving forward with a jovial smile and handed over a storage ring. “Hehe, Elder Li, the quantity is a bit insufficient, but we are still collecting. It will be sufficient within three days.”

The Gu family had indeed put in great effort for GuBei this time. They managed to come up with 30 billion high-grade spirit stones!

However, this storage ring only contained about 1.3 million, and the rest of the spirit stones were still on their way.

King Li was very satisfied with Gu Jingguo’s receptiveness: “Not to worry Masters of the Gu family. We are bound to stay here for few days anyway. It might be a bit troublesome for the Gu family during this time.”

“No no no, not at all. It’s an honor for our Gu family to host you,” Gu Jingguo swiftly responded.

“Our Gu family is graced by your presence.”

After exchanging pleasantries, all parties were quite satisfied. King Li then glanced at the storage ring, which was filled with spirit stones.

However, for some reason, King Li suddenly felt something was off about the spirit stones.

When so many spirit stones were gathered, they would emit a lot of spiritual power, but King Li felt that the aura was slightly weak?

As a Jie-du Phase master, he could easily notice this subtle detail. So he decided to inspect them further.

And indeed, he discovered that there was a problem.

Of more than 130 billion spirit stones, over 30 billion of them turned into ashes upon inspection!

Did they think he, King Li, was a fool?

Suddenly, King Li’s expression darkened, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Gu Jingguo.

Such a change left everyone astounded, and Gu Jingguo stammered, “Li… Elder Li, what’s going on?”

“Hehe, Master Gu, I advise you not to play games. You should know how the so-called transcending power in the Eastern Domain was eliminated,” King Li said, hinting at the incident with the War God Hall.

“Playing such tricks in front of my War God Hall could have serious consequences.”

With these words, the atmosphere in the room turned chilly.

Gu Jingguo was taken aback. He didn’t know what the problem was, but suddenly remembered the storage ring from before. Hesitantly he asked, “Elder Li, may I ask if there’s a problem with the spirit stones?”

Seeing his reaction, King Li’s brow furrowed, as Gu Jingguo didn’t seem to be pretending.

With his strength, he could easily tell the difference between acting and genuine reactions.

At this point, Gu Jingguo seemed absolutely clueless?

“Perhaps this is a misunderstanding?”

King Li felt amused inside. He probably knew what was going on and handed the storage ring back to Gu Jingguo.

Upon receiving the storage ring, Gu Jingguo quickly checked it and found that it was missing a lot of spirit stones, even more than thirty billion, close to thirty five billion!

At this point, Gu Jingguo was dumbfounded!

“This…this is impossible!”

“I just checked earlier, the spirit stones were fine. There can’t be any problems.” Gu Jingguo exclaimed.

“How dare you! Are you saying that Elder Li embezzled your spirit stones?” said a Jie-du phase expert standing next to King Li indignantly.

“No no, I didn’t mean that,” Gu Jingguo hastily explained, while still clueless as to what was happening. How could the spirit stones suddenly disappear?

“Alright, I believe that Master Gu didn’t know about this. It must be a misunderstanding,” said King Li with a faint smile.

“Yes, yes, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding indeed,” Gu Jingguo hastily agreed with a sheepish smile.

Although he was furious and frightened, he could only try to please King Li at this moment. He certainly didn’t want the Gu family to be annihilated by the War God Hall over such a matter!

“Master Gu, it seems that someone has given you fake spirit stones. You can ask your people to check it carefully later,” King Li said indifferently.

“I understand. We, the Gu family, have been very negligent this time!”

“We caused such a scene, it’s our fault. It’s an accident, that… Elder Li, to make amends, the Gu family is willing to give an additional 50 billion high-grade spirit stones. Please forgive us, Elder Li,” Gu Jingguo said without hesitation.

No sooner had he finished speaking, King Li started laughing. The tense atmosphere eased instantly, and everything returned to its previous state.
