At night, the top of the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Mystery Domain was brightly lit.
Servants moved through the corridors and halls.
The magnificent palace was a scene of great prosperity, a sign that a distinguished guest had arrived.
Inside the main hall at the very center of the Immortal Palace, in the spacious and luxurious dining room, four round dining tables were set up.
The key figures of the Immortal Palace were all present.
“Why have Shu’er and Mother not arrived yet?”
Wei Yufeng asked impatiently of those around him.
He was a handsome man, tall, with striking red hair inherited from his father.
He had an extraordinary manner and the air of a young hero.
“Brother, do not worry.
Sister Shu’er had a fright when she went out this time.
It is said that Ah Jiao and Ah Mei were even murdered.
It is normal for a girl to be a little upset after suffering some grievances.
The Empress is probably still taking care of her.”
The short boy sitting next to him said this.
This person was Wei Yuming, Wei Yufeng’s cousin, and the son of Wei Wuyin’s younger brother Wei Wuxin.
Compared with his cousin he was shorter and looked like a little monkey, with pointed ears and a monkey-like face.
He was often teased by his peers, but the cousins had grown up together and had a very good relationship.
They sat at a side table.
At the main table, Emperor Wei Wuyin, along with Wei Wuxin, Xiao Guang, Liu Ji, and several other high-ranking figures from the Immortal Palace, were all present.
To his left sat two men, one old and one young.
The old man had a square face and was very dignified and solemn.
His hair and beard were already gray, but his strong body and bulging temples showed that his cultivation had reached a state of perfection.
The young man to his left was handsome and dashing, with clear brows and bright eyes.
He was tall, strong, and muscular, and looked no less impressive than Wei Yufeng.
In fact he was even more robust and tall than Wei Yufeng.
“Chief Dong, I am truly ashamed that I have failed to greet you properly today, as you have personally come to the Immortal Palace as my guest.”
Wei Wuyin stood up and toasted the square-faced old man.
The old man also stood up and drank with him, saying loudly, “Your Majesty, the martial world is currently in turmoil, and the evil cult is rising in power.
How can my Tian Ce Mansion stand idly by in this battle at Qiyan Palace?
I have already dispatched dozens of skilled warriors, who will arrive at Qiyan Palace in a few days, vowing to fight the evil cult to the bitter end!”
Wei Wuyin nodded slightly and said loudly, “With the assistance of the Tian Ce Mansion, we are truly like a tiger with wings.
I am sure this battle will be a resounding success!”
Dong Yuanhong, with an obsequious air, laughed heartily and raised his glass to drink.
Everyone else followed suit, creating a lively atmosphere.
The Tian Ce Mansion was founded by the Dong family, who are also descendants of the Seven Great Immortals.
The headquarters of the Tian Ce Mansion is located in the capital.
The heads of the mansion have all served in the court and held high-ranking positions.
Female family members often intermarry with the royal family, forming kinship ties.
The current head, Dong Yuanhong, is one of the prime ministers of the current dynasty, and his sister, Dong Feiyan, is the empress of the current emperor, Emperor Xiaoren.
As the emperor’s brother-in-law, Dong Yuanhong is extremely powerful and a real figure in the court.
For someone of such high status as him to personally bring his son and subordinates to the Immortal Palace to meet with Wei Wuyin today shows the deep bond between the Immortal Palace and the Tian Ce Mansion.
Wei Wuyin downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and said to Dong Yuanhong, “It has been almost three years since our friendship, despite the age difference, has last been so joyful.
After my sister Feiyan married Emperor Xiaoren, I have not had any contact with her for nearly five years.
I wonder how she is doing now?
Thinking back on those days, they seem like fleeting clouds.
I lament the passing of time and feel tears welling up in my eyes from time to time.”
Dong Yuanhong smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you are a being of the highest caliber, possessing wisdom unseen for millennia.
For you, several decades will pass in the blink of an eye.
Dong Yuanhong, a man of such high rank and influence, was so humble toward Wei Wuyin; the two must have had an extraordinary past.
Wei Wuyin smiled and said, “You flatter me, Chief.
We should focus on the present.
The demonic sect has been lying low for several years and is now launching a counterattack together with the forces in the Northern Frontier.
We must be on guard and rely more on the power of the imperial court.”
Dong Yuanhong nodded and said, “That is only right.
The entire Tian Ce Mansion has been mobilized.
I have not had a chance to exercise since I fought against the demonic sect many years ago.
This trip with the Emperor to wipe out the villains is also a good opportunity to train my son.”
The tall, strong young man who had been sitting quietly stood up and bowed with respect to the Emperor.
“Nephew Dong Hao greets Your Majesty.”
His voice was loud and clear.
His manner was imposing.
His physique was tall and robust.
His muscles were powerful and strong.
His face was resolute.
He looked like a huge iron-tower rock.
Everyone present secretly praised him, marveling that he was truly a majestic young man and that he would surely become a powerful figure in the martial world in the future.
Wei Wuyin sized up Dong Hao and nodded slightly.
“Nephew, you are indeed a dragon among men, so tall and strong.
Chief Dong, my daughter is of marriageable age, though she is unrefined and shallow.
Does our engagement from many years ago still stand?”
Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanhong laughed loudly.
“Of course it counts!
To be able to form a marriage alliance with the Emperor is a great fortune for the Tian Ce Mansion!
Come, Ahao, toast the Emperor!”
Dong Hao, being tall and imposing, immediately downed a cup with gusto.
Everyone present praised the father and son for their incredible drinking capacity.
In an instant the atmosphere among the guests from the Immortal Palace and the Tian Ce Mansion became lively.
Everyone exchanged toasts and chatted about everything under the sun.
The atmosphere at the banquet grew even more enthusiastic.
After merging the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Star Sect, Wei Wuyin had been operating in the martial world for many years and had many followers.
Among them, the Tian Ce Mansion was the biggest ally.
The Tian Ce Mansion was founded by descendants of immortals and had close ties with the imperial court.
After forming an alliance with the Immortal Palace, it became the biggest link between the martial world and the imperial court, and also an important part of Wei Wuyin’s dominance.
Wei Wuyin and Dong Yuanhong had known each other for many years.
Although they were a generation apart in age, Dong Yuanhong was an unruly and ambitious man.
Allying with the Immortal Palace would be entirely beneficial.
Relying on this relationship, he finally rose to become one of the prime ministers of the current dynasty a few years ago, the highest official position in the history of the Tian Ce Mansion.
It was not without the help of the Immortal Palace’s forces behind the scenes that he had made many moves.
Dong Yuanhong’s younger sister, Dong Feiyan, was a disciple of the Emei Immortal Saint Sect from a young age.
She was exceptionally intelligent and had extraordinary cultivation at a young age.
She was an unparalleled master in the Immortal Saint Sect.
In addition she was naturally beautiful, with a graceful figure and charming beauty.
In her early years she was known as the Enchanting Fairy when she traveled the martial world.
Wei Wuyin and Dong Feiyan had a relationship in their early years, but later Dong Feiyan had a chance encounter with Emperor Xiaoren, who was then the crown prince and on an inspection tour.
Emperor Xiaoren was immediately attracted by her stunning beauty and pursued her madly.
At that time Dong Feiyan was in love with Wei Wuyin and was naturally not interested in this crown prince who was a member of the royal family.
He was scheming to realize his “grand cause” and immediately saw this as an opportunity.
He even encouraged Dong Feiyan to marry the Crown Prince.
Dong Feiyan was utterly astonished by Wei Wuyin’s heartless and absurd idea.
At first she was heartbroken, but Wei Wuyin’s persuasive words, which used both soft and hard tactics, finally convinced her.
Out of love or perhaps hatred for Wei Wuyin, coupled with the Crown Prince’s ardent pursuit, she quickly threw herself into his arms, and the two fell in love.
Later the Crown Prince ascended the throne and became the Emperor, and Dong Feiyan became the Empress.
Naturally the Dong family and the Tian Ce Mansion also rose to prominence at once.
Wei Wuyin can be considered the instigator of this, and the close relationship between the Immortal Palace and the Tian Ce Mansion is mainly due to this reason.
Wei Yufeng sat to one side, and when he heard what they were saying, his heart sank.
It was the first time he had heard that his younger sister, Wei Miaoshu, was engaged to the Tian Ce Mansion.
He loved his half-sister very much, and now he found this young man named Dong Hao increasingly displeasing.
Seeing his father’s smug expression, he felt displeased and got up to leave his seat.
Wei Yuming asked in surprise, “Brother, where are you going?”
Just then a sweet and alluring fragrance wafted in from outside, accompanied by the seductive clack-clack-clack of two high heels in different tones.
Two graceful and charming figures appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, chatting and laughing as they walked in.
Everyone felt dizzy for a moment, and their eyes could no longer be taken off the charming and enchanting figures in front of them.
Wei Miaoshu had changed into a short pink dress with red and blue stripes.
Although she was young, her beautiful and charming appearance resembled her mother’s, and her delicate body had already developed quite maturely.
Her fair and delicate face was more beautiful than flowers.
Her lips were like cinnabar.
Her crystal red lips smiled slightly.
Her figure was alluring.
Her skin was delicate and fair.
Every glance was captivating and enchanting.
Her long jet-black hair cascaded down her back.
She wore an off-the-shoulder top, a pale blue tube top tightly hugging her mature, full breasts.
Red sleeves fluttered on her pink arms.
Her slender, willow-like waist was exquisitely beautiful, bound by a pale blue sash.
She wore a short, pale blue, flowing skirt, beneath which her long, jade-like legs were encased in sexy, form-fitting white stockings.
Elegant and alluring lace patterns peeked out from under the skirt, accentuating her full, rounded thighs and highlighting her delicate, seductive skin.
On her beautiful feet were a pair of light blue high heels, revealing her sexy toes painted with vibrant scarlet nail polish.
The nail polish, with its cool and refreshing look, subtly gave off the allure of a young girl in the throes of first love, quite captivating.
Ning Xuefei, still dressed in a snow-white silk gauze dress, approached with grace.
Tall and voluptuous, she towered over Wei Miaoshu and gave off a mature and alluring charm unlike her daughter’s youthful beauty.
A hollowed-out gold hairpin adorned her long black hair and subtly revealed the curves of her figure beneath the sheer dress.
Her full, rounded breasts were accentuated by the high neckline, revealing her large, firm, snow-white breasts that swayed elastically with her movements.
Her chest, wrapped in a thin, jade-like gauze, revealed a charming and graceful figure.
Below, her beautiful, swaying hips rose several centimeters, plump and full.
The skirt billowed upward under their weight.
The movement was captivating and alluring.
Her two long, shapely, voluptuous legs swayed gently within the gauze skirt, clad in flesh-colored stockings as thin as silkworm wings.
The stockings were smooth and lustrous.
Her delicate calves and firm, fleshy thighs were straight, long, and dazzlingly white, giving off the utmost sensuality.
Her ten-centimeter-high silver-white lace-up heels accentuated her perfectly proportioned figure and made her tall, alluring, and captivating.
Her entire being gave off the alluring charm of a voluptuous and mature woman.
The two women walked with grace, slender waists and delicate figures, their steps as graceful as lotus blossoms.
Their long, snow-white legs were encased in sexy stockings.
Their thighs swayed and their tender flesh trembled.
Their plump, round buttocks swayed gently.
One was charming and youthful, the other elegant and beautiful, making the men’s blood boil and leaving them mesmerized.
