Chapter 405 Wang Hao's Wedding Gets Interrupted
Having dealt with potential internal threats within his empire, Wang Jian redirected his attention to the looming figure of his older brother, Wang Hao.
'Well, that God of War Spirit is unmistakably from the same upper realm as Yu Qing, the Scarlet Star Slaughter Goddess,' Wang Jian mused, his mind sharp. 'In some ways, Wang Hao poses a more significant threat than Jiang Chen.'
Wang Jian's suspicions were spot-on. Following the triumph over the Sea Monsters, Wang Hao's influence had solidified among the Eastern Seas' human populace. He had become the de facto leader, the ruler they looked up to.
Wang Hao's gaze, however, extended beyond the Eastern Seas; he harbored aspirations to conquer the Southern Region, currently under the control of his younger brother, Wang Jian.
Yet, Wang Hao approached this delicate situation with caution.
He recognized the insurmountable odds stacked against his faction, given Wang Jian's backing from major forces like the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, the Elven Race, and even half of the Devil Race's formidable experts.
In the intricate dance of power and ambition, the two brothers stood on opposing sides, each treading carefully in the shadows of their shared history.
In the ever-shifting chessboard of power, Wang Jian took strategic measures to fortify his position, anticipating the inevitable clash with his formidable brother, Wang Hao. n)/o)-v))e.)l-.b/(I((n
Ensuring the safety of his cherished ones took precedence. With deliberate care, Wang Jian orchestrated the relocation of his wives, concubines, maids, and secret mistresses. The Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion in the Central Region and the World Tree Elven Dominion in the Northern States became sanctuaries, shielding his loved ones from the brewing storm.
In the midst of these preparations, Wang Jian engaged in a conversation with Fen Shuying, his second wife and a key figure in managing his vast network of informants across the Sky Martial Continent.
"Shuying, my dear, keep me informed about every move in the Eastern Seas. Wang Hao won't sit idle for long, and I want to be ready," Wang Jian instructed, his eyes revealing the depth of his strategic contemplation.
Fen Shuying responded with a reassuring nod. "Don't worry, my love. I'll ensure that we have the most accurate information. Wang Hao won't catch us off guard."
With the Eastern Seas secured, Wang Jian turned his attention to the Western Deserts, where Jiang Chen's faction operated. Through his extensive intelligence network, managed adeptly by Fen Shuying, he gathered insights into Jiang Chen's activities.
Surprisingly, Jiang Chen's faction continued their relentless pursuit of conquering Minor Worlds within the Western Deserts. There were no signs of diverting attention or showing concern regarding Wang Hao's ascendancy in the Eastern Seas.
Perplexed by this, Wang Jian pondered the possible reasons behind Jiang Chen's focused efforts. "Shuying, it's odd. Why isn't Jiang Chen worried about Wang Hao? Any insights?"
Fen Shuying, ever composed and attentive, responded, "My dear, it's possible that Jiang Chen has unraveled the complex history between you and Wang Hao. He might be aware that, for now, Wang Hao's primary animosity is directed solely at you. Hence, Jiang Chen's faction feels secure in their current pursuits."
Wang Jian, contemplating this information, nodded thoughtfully. "Very well. Keep a close eye on both fronts. We need to be prepared for any developments. Wang Hao is a wildcard, and I won't underestimate his determination."
In the ebb and flow of the ever-evolving world, a seismic event sent ripples of shock through the realms, focusing attention squarely on Wang Hao. The revelation that stirred the currents was the forging of an alliance between Wang Hao's faction and the esteemed Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary, a pact sealed by none other than marriage.
The three prestigious sects of the Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary—Luminous Sun Sect, Celestial Moon Sect, and Eclipsed Star Sect—made an unprecedented decision. Each sect chose its most exceptional and beautiful female disciple, groomed under the watchful eyes of Sect Masters and Grand Elders, to be united in matrimony with Wang Hao. The reasons were manifold—the extraordinary talent of Wang Hao, his formidable strength, his status as the Eastern Seas' human leader, and the awe-inspiring presence of the God of War's spirit within him.
These carefully selected female disciples, chosen from the Radiant Oasis Immortal Sanctuary, were not merely chosen for their beauty but for their exceptional cultivation potential and profound background.
Luminous Sun Sect's Disciple: Li Meiying—A luminescent beauty, Li Meiying had risen from humble beginnings, overcoming adversities through unwavering determination. Her affinity for the sun element manifested in her radiant cultivation, making her a prized disciple of the Luminous Sun Sect.
Celestial Moon Sect's Disciple: Yue Xianhua—Grace personified, Yue Xianhua's journey was akin to a celestial dance. With a lineage traced back to ancient celestial beings, her cultivation of moonlight arts set her apart. She had become the pride of the Celestial Moon Sect.
Eclipsed Star Sect's Disciple: Ming Chenxi—Mysterious and enigmatic, Ming Chenxi's past held secrets that echoed in the celestial realm. Her control over the elements of the stars marked her as an extraordinary talent, earning her a coveted place in the Eclipsed Star Sect.
Wang Hao, recognizing the significance of this alliance, graciously accepted the proposal. The news of the impending marriage echoed through the Eastern Seas, creating an air of anticipation and celebration.
Under the vast expanse of the Eastern Seas, where the gentle lapping of waves provided a natural symphony, Wang Hao's grand marriage ceremony unfolded with an opulence befitting the union of realms. The chosen venue, a celestial isle surrounded by azure waters, resonated with the harmonious energies of the profound.
As emissaries from various factions and sects, their robes adorned with symbols of their respective realms, began to converge, the air became charged with excitement. The isle, a canvas for celestial splendor, featured ethereal decorations that captured the essence of unity. Luminescent flowers cascaded like celestial blessings, and colorful banners fluttered in the sea breeze.
Wang Hao, resplendent in ceremonial attire, stood at the heart of the isle, radiating a charismatic aura. The brides, Li Meiying, Yue Xianhua, and Ming Chenxi, dressed in breathtaking gowns that mirrored the elements they hailed from, awaited the union with a blend of anticipation and grace.
As the esteemed guests, including representatives from countless small nations, sects of the Eastern Seas, Central Region, and even the Western Deserts, took their seats, the ceremony commenced. Celestial musicians played melodies that stirred the hearts of onlookers, and skilled cultivators showcased mesmerizing displays of elemental prowess.
As Wang Hao prepared to articulate the sacred vows that would bind him to his chosen companions, the air buzzed with anticipation. The assembly held its collective breath, immersed in the solemnity of the moment.
However, just as the crescendo of vows was about to resonate, an unforeseen disruption shattered the serenity. The barrier guarding the Minor Worlds within the Eastern Seas ruptured, unleashing a chaotic torrent of beings from realms unknown.
The barrier guarding the Minor Worlds within the Eastern Seas abruptly fractured, unleashing a tumultuous wave of chaos. From the rift emerged races hitherto unknown to the inhabitants of the Sky Martial Continent.
These mysterious races, bearing names such as the Etherweavers, Void Sirens, Arcane Phantoms, and Celestial Specters, surged forth into the Eastern Seas. Their otherworldly presence disrupted the serenity of Wang Hao's nuptial celebration, plunging the region into a chaotic battleground.
The Etherweavers, ethereal beings with the ability to manipulate cosmic energies, clashed with the human forces near the wedding venue. Their shimmering forms weaved through the air, casting spells that defied conventional understanding. The Void Sirens, masters of interdimensional travel, infiltrated strategic points with swift and calculated movements.
Amidst the chaos, the Arcane Phantoms, wielders of arcane arts, clashed with the human cultivators in a display of dazzling but deadly magic. The Celestial Specters, ethereal entities with control over celestial forces, hovered above the battleground, unleashing celestial wrath upon unsuspecting targets.
The wedding venue, once a haven of celebration, became a contested ground where human cultivators confronted these enigmatic races. Wang Hao, torn between his marital vows and the duty to protect his people, drew upon the God of War's spirit within him.
The clash between the human race members and the otherworldly invaders echoed across the Eastern Seas. The battleground sprawled, encompassing various locations, turning the once serene wedding grounds into a theater of conflict.
In the midst of the chaos, Li Meiying, Yue Xianhua, and Ming Chenxi exhibited their prowess, standing alongside Wang Hao to repel the invaders. Each of the three Radiant Oasis disciples unleashed their unique talents—Li Meiying's radiant sun arts, Yue Xianhua's celestial moonlight techniques, and Ming Chenxi's starry arcane mastery.
As the battle unfolded, the skies echoed with the clash of energies, and the seas bore witness to the dance of martial techniques. The unity forged in the marriage ceremony now extended to a unity of purpose—to defend the Eastern Seas against this unforeseen onslaught.
Wang Hao stepped forward amidst the turmoil, wielding his formidable battle axe—a manifestation of the God of War's might. The very air around him seemed to ripple with suppressed energy as he prepared to unleash his combat prowess upon the otherworldly invaders.
