Dawn had just arrived, and the Blue Wind Imperial City was already rowdy everywhere. Streets of various sizes were all filled with the masses, lifting their heads and looking into the distance. Because today, was the day for the Imperial Family's only princess to be wed. And at this moment, the bridal escort party of Burning Heaven Clan had already entered the city gate, and was parading forth toward the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.

With a smile on his face, Fen Juecheng rode on top of an enormous chariot pulled forth by seven horses and looking forward with his smug, arrogant face. Behind him, was a huge eight poled palanquin carved with dancing phoenixes of fire. Around them, more than 2000 Burning Heaven Clan disciples wearing flame-red clothing forming a long rank. Looking from a high place, they were like a red snake that moved slowly toward the Imperial Palace. All of these Burning Heaven Clan disciples had been meticulously selected, and every single one of them was extraordinary. Even the weakest ones were at the Spirit Profound Realm. Ones with high profound strength, were already at the mid Earth Profound Realm. This kind of lineup, was extremely rare even in the entire Blue Wind Empire, and could even be deemed as frightening. Clearly, Burning Heaven Clan who had lost a great deal of face because of their humiliation and loss of many Elders in the Ranking Tournament. In light of that, they pulled out all the stops to take advantage of this chance of being the princess's bridal escort, and once again display the prowess of the Burning Heaven Clan to the world.

In accordance to custom, Fen Juecheng's father, Fen Duanhun, would not come along, but the elder level experts that came along, not one didn't inspire awe throughout the land. After the loss of the Elders during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the Burning Heaven Clan pulled out all the stops and didn't spare any expense to recuperate their losses. And after more than a year of hard diligent work, they had one again nurtured Sky Profound Realm Elders. And for this bridal procession, eight Elders came along. The two leading Elders that came along at the later ranks of Sky Profound Realm, and were two of Burning Heaven Clan's ten strongest experts. These eight people wore flame red clothing that were even more eye-catching, and floated evenly dispersed in the air space above the bridal procession. They emitted a kind of imposing air that made everyone's heart there skip a beat. Even from far away, it made one feel an almost suffocating pressure.

"Look! The bridal procession of the Burning Heaven Clan is here!"

Following this shout, the crowd started to stir. Everyone stood on their toes, and looked toward the Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession that got closer. After some.. (A.N.: blah-blah-blah exclamation by the public blah-blah-blah notice me Young Master Fen Juecheng senpai! Blah-blah-blah Sky Profound Realm Elders blah-blah-blah Profound Floating Technique blah-blah-blah and all that shit that the author was very much not in the mood for to write. Let's just shorten it to the Burning Heaven Clan arriving at the Blue Wind Palace and we'll take it from there, because let's be honest. All of your pity wells for Young Master Fen Juecheng/ Shinji is pretty much scr.a.p.ed dry or non-existent in the first place and you want to see him get bitch slapped by the MC and show Shinji his place on the pecking order.)

Amidst the crowd's on looking and whispering, the Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession came closer and closer. At exactly noon, they arrived before Blue Wind Imperial Palace's palace gates. After going through simple conversations, the bridal procession continued forward toward the Moon Embracing Palace that Princess Cang Yue resided in, as gongs and drums sounded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the night before.

After an especially hot and steaming round of passionate s.e.x, Cang Yue and Mesa were lying on the bed, exhausted and panting like crazy, covered in sweat.

"Tomorrow is the day. Finally!" Said Cang Yue excitedly.

"Yes. Indeed. Tomorrow is the day!" Said Mesa excitedly as well, before turning to her and asking: "Is that why you were so wild just now?"

"What? Are you saying you didn't like that?" Said Cang Yue teasingly.

"Hey. Don't put words in my mouth. It was nice surprise seeing you so wild for a change." Said Mesa.

"Good". Said Cang Yue as she grabbed Mesa's c.o.c.k and stroked it until he was rock hard again: "Then you make sure you're here tomorrow by 12 p.m. and whisk me away from that sham of a wedding. And I will make sure I have that flower safe and out of reach from Fen Juecheng's hands." And then she straddled him and once again they started another passionate round of hot s.e.x.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning.

Mesa teleported into the cavern underneath the Sword Management Terrace, where Yun Canghai and Yun Che were sealed away. Due to suddenly appearing there, both of them were startled quite a bit, but Mesa didn't bother with that and immediately announced the good news to them: "Good news you two, today is the day that you get out of this hellhole."

And surprise, surprise. They immediately jumped at the opportunity to leave that place forever. Taking out the Rule Breaker from the Gate of Babylon, Mesa stabbed Yun Canghai in the chest. And with a bright flash of light, his life force was separated from the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation.

Feeling himself finally being separated from that accursed Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation, Yun Canghai was overjoyed and tearfully embraced Mesa and profusely thanked him for finally freeing him from his nightmare.

After a minute, he finally let him go and asked where they would hide in the meantime. With a smirk on his face, he placed his hand on Yun Canghai's shoulder and warped him into Kamui's pocket dimension. Yun Che who saw this happen, didn't know what just happened. But before he could even process this, Mesa had arrived in front of him and warped him into Kamui's pocket dimension as well.

Looking up at the giant Heaven's Punishment Sword that sealed this place up, Mesa casually cracked his knuckles and with a quake bubble around his fist, he jumped up and with a single blow, blew the top right off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile. Outside the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation on the Sword Management Terrace.

Ling Jie had gotten up early and was practicing his swordsmanship with his Celestial Yang Sword. During his practice, he suddenly heard a rumbling noise and felt the ground tremble. A moment later, the Heaven's Punishment Sword is blown away. And out of the smoke, a black silhouette flies out and lands in front of him.

"You.." Ling Jie a step back, and subconsciously held the Celestial Yang Sword in front of him. After looking at this silhouette, his eyes suddenly go wide upon seeing who stood in front of him: "B.. boss!!"

"Ahh Ling Jie. It's good to see you again. It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been doing these past few months?" Said Mesa nonchalantly as if he just came back from a long vacation.

"Boss, y-y-you.. you didn't die?! You're still alive!" Said Ling Jie excitedly.

"Of course I am still alive! It takes much more than some pathetic 'demon' to kill me, you know!" Said Mesa smugly.

And so they caught up with each other. They talked about what happened in the meantime whilst they were apart. The feats that Mesa did during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament had become stuff of legend in the Blue Wind Empire. He was now regarded as the crème de la crème of all the younger generation. Some have even put him above the older generation when they took Ryujin Jakka, Mjolnir and the Boosted Gear into consideration. And he did all this without any backing and had even drawn the ire of some the Four Major Sects and still stood defiantly in their faces without backing down.

Mesa was now putting out a strength level of level 10 Earth Profound Realm. And Ling Jie was flabbergasted at his progress. When he went in, he had no Profound strength left. And now, he is at level 10 Earth Profound Realm.

"Yeah, I have been gone for a while now. But can you tell me how Cang Yue has been doing?" Asked Mesa.

When he mentioned Princess Cang Yue, Ling Jie's expression stiffened. All of his excitement had also cooled off. The sudden change of expression didn't go by Mesa and he promptly asked: "What? What happened with her?"

Ling Jie drew a breath of air, and said evasively: "Boss, there is something.. uh.. after I say it, you must not get angry.. it definitely wasn't Princess Sis's real intention.. uh.. Princess Sis.. she.. she.. she's about to marry.. Fen Juecheng.."

Contrary to his expectation, Mesa stood there calmly. But looking at his expression, one could see anything but calmness. What was visible in his eyes was rage. And so, he asked in a calm, but ominous tone of voice: "Tell me Ling Jie. When are they gonna marry and where?"

His calm tone of voice made Ling Jie back drench with cold sweat. So with hesitation, he replied: "Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession is already headed towards the Imperial City to escort the bride to the Burning Heaven Clan to be married at Burning Heaven Clan's Fiery Sun Hall. They will arrive at noon at the latest."

"Thank you Ling Jie." Said Mesa calmly and jumped into the air. Once in the air, his body was enveloped in a bright white light. After it dissipated, he was donned in a white draconic suit of armor with massive wings made of big crystal feathers. Ling Jie was enraptured looking at Mesa's new form, he couldn't keep his eyes off of it. And with a loud sonic boom, Mesa flew off into the distance.

"THAT WAS SO COOOOOLLLLLL!!!!" Yelled out Ling Jie.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the bridal procession

Emperor Cang Wanhe had been informed about the arrival of the bridal procession and had ordered to be taken outside. Unlike everyone else, he was made privy of Cang Yue and Mesa's plan and he wanted to have a front row seat when Mesa came to crash the wedding. When Cang Yue came back from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa, she told her father about Mesa's survival and she made him swear that he wouldn't share this information with anyone else. A great benefit from that knowledge was that Cang Yue brought him dinner that Mesa made for him every day. And because of that, he didn't feel so weak. When he told his servants to prepare a palanquin to take him outside, he wasn't carried towards it. Instead, he walked towards it himself, albeit at a slow pace and with a cane, but he still walked towards it himself.

Outside. Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession parted in front of the Moon Embracing Palace, and all of the guests that the Moon Embracing Palace invited were also present. With a glance, other than a few dozen palace maids and over a dozen eunuchs, there were only a few people of the Blue Wind Profound Palace. Qin Wushang and Qin Wuyou were both present.

"His Majesty arrives!"

Accompanying a sharp and long shout, the imperial palanquin was brought in under the protection of a few dozen bodyguards. And descending in the front of the Burning Heaven Clan's group, Fen Juecheng immediately dismounted with his chariot and came before the imperial palanquin with a brisk pace, and said while bowing: "Juecheng greets father."

"Hmph!" Cang Wanhe did not open the curtain, and made a faint sneer: "Today is only the bridal procession, you and Yue'er have not gone through the wedding ceremony. It is still too early to call us father."

Fen Juecheng wasn't angry in the slightest, and with a sincere smile, said: "Father's scolding is correct. It is Juecheng who has acted rashly."

Right at this time, the Moon Embracing Palace's main entrance slowly opened. Princess Cang Yue wore a phoenix coronet and shawl with the aurora's color. Under the supporting hand of two palace maids, she slowly walked out.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing Cang Yue appear, Cang Shuo started to laugh triumphantly and pat Fen Juecheng on the shoulder: "Young Clan Master Fen, please."

Fen Juecheng nodded. With a smile on his face, he walked toward Cang Yue, stopped before her, and extended a hand in her direction.

Since this was a bridal escort, Fen Juecheng needed to support Cang Yue by the arms and into the palanquin. Yet Cang Yue didn't response to his outstretched hand, and asked coldly: "Where's the Burning Soul Flower I wanted?"

Fen Juecheng made a slight smile, clapped his hands, and said: "Present the betrothal gift."

Over thirty Burning Heaven Clan disciples came forward simultaneously. Every single one of them carried a huge chest in their hands. The chests were gracefully lined up, and then opened simultaneously. A large wave of exclamation resounded, and even personages at the level of Qin Wushang went wide eyed. This betrothal gift, could be said to be worth as much as a few cities!

Fen Juecheng still had a faint smile on his face as he said: "I present to you all these precious treasures and elixirs to display the sincerity of my Burning Heaven Clan. Of course, to someone who has such a dignified status as you, it would be naturally impossible to be interested in these elixirs. But I wonder whether this thing here is enough to win Your Highness' favor?"

While speaking, Fen Juecheng reached out with his left hand and stroked the spatial ring. All of a sudden, a transparent jade case emerged in his hand, with a strange nine-petaled flower blossoming within it. Every petal of the flower was of a different shape from another, but all of them, without exception, appeared similar to a burning flame.

"So this is... the Burning Soul Flower?" Looking at the blazing flower that was inside the jade case, Cang Yue, for an instant, had a slight smirk on her face, that she immediately suppressed afterwards and returned to her stoic look.

"That's right. It is one of the most precious treasures of my Burning Heaven Clan."

"..Give that flower to me, and I shall go with you." Said Cang Yue coldly and reached out with her hand, and immediately took the case containing the sealed up Burning Soul Flower. All the while, Fen Juecheng showed no signs of stopping her, or withdrawing his hand, and let her take the jade case in her hand.

Walking over to her father's palanquin, opened the curtain and placed the jade case on her father's knee and said: "Royal Father, you must take good care of this."

After saying her part, she went to the palanquin that would escort her to the Burning Heaven Clan and stepped in, all the while staying completely silent.

"Hahahaha!" Cang Shuo let out a laugh of satisfaction: "Even though we didn't hold a grand ceremony, one can see how eager she is to become a member of the Burning Heaven Clan. Young Clan Master Fen, from now on I entrust my Royal Sister's happiness to you. See to it that no one bullies her."

Hehe, I ask Father and the third prince to be at ease. Being able to marry the princess is already a blessing of three lifetimes for me, Fen Juecheng. So I'll naturally treat her well." Fen Juecheng said with a laugh. When addressing Cang Wanhe he still openly used "Father," as if he had not heard Cang Wanhe's previous 'warning', or simply didn't care about it in the first place.

Getting back on his chariot, Fen Juecheng spurred on his horses to start the trip back to the Burning Heaven Clan where he would finally marry Cang Yue. But they hadn't even left the Moon Embracing Palace, when he heard a rumbling noise in the sky. Many present were wondering what in the world that noise was, but Fen Juecheng instead immediately froze in place, eyes bloodshot with rage.

'NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can't be him! Not him! Not him!!!!!'

Cang Yue and Cang Wanhe on the other hand, with both of their faces hidden from the world, had a sly grin on their faces and they were both thinking the same thing.

'Here he iiiii-hiiiiiisssssss~~'

And a moment later, when the noise was earsplittingly deafening, a figure roughly landed on the ground in front of them, donned in a white draconic suit of armor and adorned with enormous wings, with feathers made of crystals. There he stood, blocking the way of the bridal procession, exuding a power very reminiscent of Mesa when he made his legendary entrance during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. Fen Juecheng was looking at him with bloodshot eyes, hoping to god that this isn't who he thinks it is.

"Who goes there!"

The disciples of the Burning Heaven Clan in front gave a loud shout and quickly rushed forward, moving into formation and blocking the route ahead. A cylindrical formation swiftly formed around Fen Juecheng. Although it looked as if they were about to face a formidable enemy, there wasn't a single hint of panic on any of their faces, because they were the Burning Heaven Clan! Within the Blue Wind Empire, they had absolutely no need to fear anyone. If this person in front of them was truly here to make a ruckus, then he would definitely just be courting death.

The next they knew, all of the disciples that were around Fen Juecheng started falling unconscious scaring everyone there. Fen Juecheng on the other hand was boiling with rage, for he knew exactly who this person was. And then, helmet portion disappeared and underneath they saw the face of someone that they all thought was dead, and this person was pissed off.

"Hello there Shinji. Where do you think you're going with my woman."
