Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The gazes of every person were on the two palanquins. Some gazes were filled with longing, some were filled with jealousy, while some were filled with indifference.

'So this is Senior's first human junior…' Shirong's eyes were on the blue palanquin in which Wang Xiong was sitting.

He looked at the man for a few seconds before his brows furrowed.

'He's suppressing his cultivation base?' Shirong discovered.

Normally, no one should have been able to tell this, as Wang Xiong was using the Taiji Refinement Scripture to hide his cultivation base. Even the spirit Qi fluctuations that were normally present around his body were reduced to make it seem like he was at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.

But Shirong and Wang Xiong had one thing in common. Both of them had Pentagem Implants in them, which allowed them to sense each other as well as everyone else that had the Emeraldine Bloodline within them or an implant in them.

And while Shirong was watching Wang Xiong, the man was doing the same.

"Ji Shirong has come too? I didn't expect that…" Wang Xiong had no idea that Shirong would be coming too.

His voice was low, but was heard by the girl sitting in the palanquin next to him.

"Ji Shirong?" A light an airy voice spoke.

The curtains on the palanquin were parted, and a pair of eyes looked out. The eyes were dark brown in color and had almond like shape. They gazed at the supposed most eligible bachelor of the Long Continent.

'He's even better than what the rumors say…' Cang Qing couldn't help but think.

While she was technically marrying another highly qualified bachelor, Ji Shirong was still a league above him.

But just as Cang Qing was watching Shirong, she saw him move. "Huh? Who's he saluting?"

Cang Qing's saw Shirong cupping his fists and looking at her direction. She couldn't help but feel flustered but then heard someone speak.

"I think Senior Brother Shirong for attending my wedding." Wang Xiong spoke.

"Ahahah, it is what I should be doing. Besides how could I not attend junior Wang Xiong's wedding. If I didn't, Great Senior might not like it." Shirong replied.

"Ah yes. I just hope he attends the wedding too." Wang Xiong replied.

"Guess we'll just have to wait and watch. Great Senior has a lot of things to do after all." Shirong stated.

Cang Qing couldn't help but he surprised hearing the conversation between the two.

'They really know each other? And that too as Senior and Junior?' Cang Qing felt her image of Wang Xiong rising by another level.

Even with the identity as a the future patriarch of the Frozen Cloud Sect, Wang Xiong was still a step below Shirong. But having a friendship between the two would be greatly beneficial.

After all, this entire wedding was organized for that very reason. It was for benefits and to create a proper alliance with the Frozen Cloud sect. Adding the Ji clan would be the cherry on top if it really happened.

"Bride and Groom descend!" The officiator of the wedding announced.

With this the formal process of the wedding had started.

Wang Xiong and Cang Qing got down from the palanquins before several rituals were conducted. This alone took about two hours to finish, but no one was impatient.

"The Bride and Groom will now worship the heavens and seal their vows!" The officiator spoke once more.

Cang Qing looked at Wang Xiong and he did the same before the two of them knelt at the soft carpet that was spread out for them.

"I Wang Xiong…"

"I Cang Qing…"

"Take the Heavens as the great bestower and beseech them to bless us!" They said in unison.

"Kowtow to the heavens!" the officiator ordered.

~thud~

Both Cang Qing and Wang Xiong kowtowed audibly, letting their foreheads make a sonorous thudding sound.

"Kowtow to the elders!" the officiator ordered next.

~thud~

They repeated.

"Now kowtow to each other!" The officiator finally said.

The two of the faced each other and lowered their heads.

~tremble~

But just as their heads were about to hit the floor, it started to shake.

The people in the great hall were surprised while the elders overseeing the wedding furrowed their brows.

Patriarch Cang Anyu was rather anxious and sensing the trembling ground, it only became worse.

"Find what's causing this and stop it!" He ordered.

"Yes Patriarch!" The elders replied.

Two of them directly took out formation plates and linked to the Great array of the Cang Lan sect, checking if there was anyone suspicious there.

Another one of the elders directly spread his spirit sense which was further extended through the use of a special spirit tool, allowing him to observe a lot further. The rest of the elders directly left the great hall to check it in person.

The guests present at the wedding were all whispering to each other now.

"Whoever dares to do this has big guts."

"Hah, what big guts? I'd say they are the biggest fools instead."

"Indeed, doing something like and causing a disturbance during a high level event like this is just foolish."

"Still… what do you think it is? For the ground to tremble like this despite the defensive formation arrays of the Cang Lan sect, it should be significant right?"

"Hmm, at the very least it isn't something thats attacking the sect. If that was true then the defensive arrays would have activated no doubt. Perhaps it is some unknown parties fighting nearby and causing this."

The guests at the wedding couldn't help but wonder just what might be behind this disturbance. To them, there was no apparent danger as they were technically in one of the safest places in the world right now.

Not only were there several Dao Treading realm experts present, but also representatives of the top three clans here. No cultivator would dare to attack this place while they were in attendance.

After all, doing that would be the same as not giving them face.
