Chapter 1553: A Power Beyond Martial Spirits

Subsequently.

Yi Feng's gaze fell on the third row of seats near the high platform.

The sharp-faced Chen Dahai was whispering something to two elders.

"Young Master, what should we do later?"

Chen Dahai sneered, "It was the woman I had my eyes on, yet the Situ family dared to marry her off without my consent. Old Man Situ clearly doesn't give me any face, showing blatant disrespect to our Wusheng Mountain."

As he spoke, Chen Dahai glanced around the open-air wedding banquet.

"But don't rush. We'll make our move once most of their guests have arrived. I want to make an example in front of nearly ten thousand people at a thousand tables, letting them know the consequences of crossing Wusheng Mountain. We'll kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

"Young Master is wise!"

The three of them whispered and chuckled coldly, looking as if they had already decided the fate of the Situ family.

At this moment, one of the elders accompanying Chen Dahai noticed the two empty tables at the front.

"Young Master, the Situ family has some nerve! Knowing that you are here, they didn't even reserve the best seats for you. How arrogant!"

Another elder chimed in, "Exactly! The Young Master should be seated at the head table!"

Chen Dahai hadn't thought much of it initially.

After all, it was customary for the first two rows to be reserved for the families of the bride and groom.

But with the two elders fanning the flames, the arrogant Chen Dahai immediately felt slighted.

Chen Dahai's temper flared, believing that the Situ family had intentionally humiliated him.

How could he tolerate such disrespect?

Chen Dahai slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "The Situ family is far too arrogant! How dare they seat me in such a lowly position!"

The steward who had escorted the three of them earlier hurried over upon hearing the commotion.

"Young Master Chen, please calm down. Let's talk this over. There's no need to get so worked up," the slightly plump steward tried to soothe him.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me? Call Situ Taili over!"

The steward's face turned pale, but he quickly bowed and complied, "I will fetch the family head immediately. Please remain calm, Young Master."

After saying this, the steward exchanged a glance with the surrounding disciples and went off to find the family head.

"Hmph!"

Chen Dahai snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain.

The disciples guarding the head table looked grim.

They wanted nothing more than to rush forward and crush Chen Dahai, but due to his status, they held back, only tightening their vigilance.

Situ Taili hurried over upon hearing the news.

He approached Chen Dahai and gave a polite bow.

Before Situ Taili could speak, Chen Dahai declared firmly, "As the Young Master of Wusheng Mountain, I have come personally to attend your Situ family's wedding banquet."

"Yet, Family Head Situ, you left the head table empty and seated me in a lower position. It seems you have no respect for Wusheng Mountain!"

Situ Taili frowned.

He was in a difficult position, unsure of how to proceed.

Wusheng Mountain held significant influence in Huacheng.

If they were not seated at the head table, it would be seen as a slight by the Situ family.

This would give Wusheng Mountain a legitimate reason to cause trouble, putting the Situ family at a disadvantage.

Other families might also lose their justification for supporting the Situ family.

But those two tables had been specifically reserved by Yi Feng.

Just as Situ Taili was caught in a dilemma, a gentle voice echoed in his mind.

"It's fine. Let them sit if they want to."

Situ Taili glanced at the figure in white. Yi Feng met his gaze and gave a slight nod.

Situ Taili nodded in return, then turned to the three from Wusheng Mountain with a bow.

"Young Master Chen, esteemed elders, we have indeed been overwhelmed by the number of guests and failed to make proper arrangements earlier. Please forgive us. Allow me to escort you to the head table," Situ Taili said warmly.

Situ Taili's obsequious demeanor was meant to show everyone that the Situ family had treated Wusheng Mountain with the utmost respect.

If Wusheng Mountain were to cause trouble later, the Situ family would be justified in retaliating.

"Hmph, Family Head Situ is quite adaptable. We'll take the head table then. The bride had better drink a few cups with me later!"

Chen Dahai waved his hand and led the two elders to the head table.

A mocking smile played on his lips, his expression full of disdain.

It seemed the insignificant Situ family was still very much afraid of Wusheng Mountain.

Chen Dahai felt certain that he had the Situ family in the palm of his hand today.

Seeing the furious expressions of the Situ family disciples around him, Chen Dahai's smile widened.

After placating the three from Wusheng Mountain, Situ Taili went back to receiving guests.

There were simply too many people, and as the family head, he had to greet most of them.

He truly didn't have the energy to deal with a troublemaker like Chen Dahai.

Yi Feng remained calm, his faint smile unwavering as he observed the scene.

As noon approached, more and more prominent families arrived.

It was as if they had coordinated their arrival, all showing up within half an hour of the wedding.

The Situ family steward at the entrance began announcing the gifts one after another.

"The Lin family of Huacheng presents: a millennium-old coral from the East Sea, a pearl necklace, and a hundred bolts of silk."

The common folk of Huacheng were filled with envy upon hearing this.

"The Lin family and the Situ family must be very close. Such extravagant gifts!"

"Indeed, just the millennium-old coral alone is worth a fortune. These wealthy families are truly something!"

Situ Taili greeted the guests respectfully.

"The Wang family of Licheng presents: a piece of high-quality gold-wrapped jade, a piece of high-quality jadeite, and a golden plaque with the character for 'double happiness'!"

The crowd erupted in excitement once more.

"The Zhang family of Huacheng presents: a shop on Huacheng's main street, ten acres of land outside the city, and a pair of magical talismans!"

Gasps filled the air, and the crowd buzzed with excitement.

"A shop on Huacheng's main street and magical talismans? Those are priceless!"

"And they're giving them as gifts?"

"The Zhang family is incredibly generous!"

"I heard that when Family Head Situ was young and traveling as a merchant, he saved the life of the Zhang family head. They're sworn brothers. To the Zhang family head, these gifts are nothing."

"I see."

The groom, Cang Sheng, remained composed, bowing respectfully to the guests.

It wasn't that he looked down on the gifts, but his horizons had broadened considerably.

The spatial ring Yi Feng had given him still contained over seventy thousand gold coins.

Magical talismans were nothing to him now.

The steward continued announcing the gifts.

At that moment.

A deafening explosion echoed through the sky.

Following the tremendous noise.

A figure shot across the horizon like a comet, carrying an overwhelming surge of energy.

He descended like a human meteor, his presence so immense that it made everyone present tremble.

Cang Sheng's heart raced.

This person seemed even stronger than the Martial Spirit experts he had encountered before. This was a true master.

Situ Taili's heart pounded with fear.

Who was this person? How could such a terrifying existence appear in this world?

The overwhelming energy radiating from the newcomer was unstoppable!

It seemed that with just a single palm strike, he could obliterate the entire city of Huacheng.
