Prince Yuanyi's gaze was indifferent as he chatted with the North Star Mansion Master from time to time.
The Mansion Masters of the Saint Origin Dynasty were all appointed by the royal family. Therefore, the relationship between the North Star Mansion Master and Prince Yuanyi was naturally not shallow.
However, when Prince Yuanyi looked around the Situ Mansion that was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, there was a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Not long after, the people of the Murong Family arrived. The person in the lead was wearing a red robe. He had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament. It was Murong Ditian.
Beside him was the Murong Family's Patriarch, Murong Fengyun, and many other elders. The crowd was densely packed.
The surrounding guests were somewhat puzzled. Although they were here to pick up the bride, there were too many people.
Almost two-thirds of the upper echelons of the Murong Family were here.
However, because today was a day of celebration, these people did not think too much about it. They only thought that the Murong Family really attached great importance to this marriage.
Outside the Situ Mansion, Ye Guchen, who was wearing a black robe and whose face was covered with blood, was looking at everything with cold eyes.
Perhaps because today was the day of the wedding, the people of the two families were gathered together. Therefore, the number of people patrolling outside the Situ Mansion was reduced by a lot.
Ye Guchen quietly waited for the Demon Magistrate's order.
Finally, when Situ Hongxue, who was wearing a wedding dress, appeared, all the guests sighed. She was indeed worthy of being one of the beauties of the Saint Origin Dynasty.
However, Situ Hongxue's beautiful eyes were slightly absent-minded. She looked around the hall but did not see the figure in her heart.
As for the illusion of snatching the bride, now that she thought about it, it was just a ridiculous delusion.
"Perhaps in his heart, I'm just a passer-by that he met by chance." Situ Hongxue's eyes had a trace of sadness.
She admitted that her feelings for Ye Guchen had not reached the level of undying devotion. However, she had indeed left a shadow.
And this shadow was obviously not something that could be erased so easily.
"Hong Xue, this day has finally come." Murong Ditian smiled with a trace of complacency, like a hunter who had successfully caught his prey.
To be able to make the famous beauty of the Saint Origin Dynasty his exclusive property, that sense of superiority was indeed a kind of pleasure for a man.
Looking at that invasive gaze, Situ Hongxue bit her lip. She was reminded of Ye Guchen's deep and clear eyes. The two of them were indeed not the same type of people.
"Haha, Brother Situ, today is the day of the marriage between our two families. Why don't we drink a few more cups?" Murong Fengyun, the head of the Murong Family, laughed loudly.
"Of course." Situ Lingxiao also smiled.
At this point, the people in the hall were exchanging toasts. The people from the two great clans were eating and drinking together, and there was a sense of harmony.
Crown Prince Yuanyi was the only one who barely touched the food and wine. He just looked at everything with a smile.
After three rounds of wine, Murong Fengyun suddenly opened his mouth, "Situ, the Murong family has already expressed our sincerity for the marriage between our families. Shouldn't the Situ family show your sincerity as well? Only then will our families be as strong as iron."
Situ Lingxiao's heart skipped a beat. The smile on his face faded slightly as he said, "I wonder what kind of sincerity Brother Murong wants?"
"I heard that Brother Situ accidentally obtained two Immemorial Sword Tokens in a place of opportunity in the Endless Plains?" Murong Fengyun asked in an inexplicable tone.
Situ Lingxiao's expression didn't change when he heard this, but his hands that were hidden in his sleeves suddenly clenched.
"Brother Murong, you must be joking. I don't know what the Immemorial Sword Token is." Situ Lingxiao replied with a smile.
"Oh, is that so? Let me tell you the truth. My Murong Family has one Immemorial Sword Token and the Saint Origin Dynasty's Imperial Family has another one. They were both obtained from the Infinite Desolate Plains." Murong Fengyun's tone turned cold when he saw Situ Lingxiao playing dumb.
"But I really don't know what the Immemorial Sword Token is." Situ Lingxiao sighed.
"Big brother, don't hide it anymore. Aren't the two Immemorial Sword Tokens in the family treasury?" Suddenly, a person walked over. It was Situ Lingxiao's younger brother, Situ Zhiyang.
"Second brother, you …" Situ Lingxiao's expression finally changed.
"Heh, Brother Situ, there's no need to hide it anymore." On the other side, the North Star Mansion's master suddenly stood up. There was a faint trace of disdain in his laughter.
"You … you …" Situ Lingxiao's heart suddenly sank. He wasn't stupid. If he still couldn't sense the change in the situation, then he really didn't deserve the title of Family Head.
"Disciples of the Situ Family, be alert …" Before Situ Lingxiao could finish his words, Situ Zhiyang suddenly attacked and sent a palm strike at Situ Lingxiao.
Situ Lingxiao had long been on guard against Situ Zhiyang. He turned around and sent a palm strike. But suddenly, Situ Lingxiao felt that the Zhen Qi in his body wasn't flowing smoothly. His limbs and bones felt like they were being pricked by needles.
"The wine is poisoned!" Situ Lingxiao suddenly reacted.
Rumble!
When the two palms collided, Situ Lingxiao, whose cultivation base had reached the Life and Death Chamber, was actually forced back.
This palm strike caused the entire hall to turn deathly silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded. This scene was too sudden. Many people simply couldn't react.
"Brother Situ, you won't cry until you see the coffin. Since you're so tactless, then we don't need to be polite with you."
Murong Fengyun, the North Star Mansion's master, Prince Yuanyi, and the others all stood out and coldly looked at Situ Lingxiao.
This scene also stunned Situ Hongxue. She turned to look at Murong Ditian. Murong Ditian seemed to have already known this. At this moment, his expression was calm. He looked at Situ Hongxue and said, "Hongxue, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. You won't be harmed in the slightest."
"What are you doing?!" Situ Hongxue was also extremely intelligent. After thinking for a bit, she understood.
This was a trap, a trap that targeted the Situ Family.
Murong Family, the North Star Mansion's master, and even the royal family represented by Prince Yuanyi had all joined hands to eliminate the Situ Family.
As for the reason, it must be the so-called Immemorial Sword Token.
An ordinary man's wealth was his own ruin.
Even Situ Hongxue didn't understand what the Immemorial Sword Token was. How could it bring such a disaster to the Situ Family?
"Where are the Situ Family's Iron Guards?" Situ Lingxiao roared.
The Iron Guards were trained by the Situ Family. The lowest cultivation level was the Qi Refinement Realm. Previously, there were some Iron Guards stationed outside. Although there were fewer than usual, they were still used as a warning.
However, at this moment, the Iron Guards stationed outside didn't respond.
"Haha, Brother Situ, since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me."
Murong Fengyun smashed his wine cup. In the darkness, figures swept past like the Grim Reaper.
"It's the Bloodthirst Tower!" Someone among the guests shouted.
"Leave no one alive!" Prince Yuanyi shouted coldly.
"Kill!"
"Gather the Iron Guards, quick!"
"Don't kill me. This has nothing to do with us. We're only here to participate in the banquet!"
In an instant, the entire brightly lit Situ Family's residence turned into a blood-red Asura Field.
Because the news had to be sealed, from the beginning, the Situ Family and the guests of the banquet had to be killed.
