Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Crossing the Tribulation

"Whoosh..."

The heavy rain washed every corner of Binhai.

This was the heaviest and longest-lasting rain Binhai had seen this year, and many people were shivering in their homes.

Lan Family.

On the eve of the wedding, most members of the Lan Family did not sleep.

One reason was that the thunder was too loud; the other was that the Lan Family’s wedding ceremonies have always been grand affairs, with many things needing to be finalized and prepared the night before.

In Lan Xiyue’s room.

She had already put on her wedding dress in advance.

Not because she was excited, but because she wanted to take a photo.

The wedding dress was exquisitely crafted, with a unique design, tailor-made for her, and it showcased Lan Xiyue’s beautiful figure perfectly.

Her slender waist, prominent breasts with smooth curves, the necklace on her shining collarbone sparkling brightly, and the large skirt trailing on the ground, made her look like a Heavenly Immortal descending to the mundane world, untouched and elevated by the mortal dust, noble and elegant, brimming with charm.

Such a woman was many times more beautiful than those who claimed to be the most beautiful in the world; Xiaorou, who was beside her, was staring with wide eyes.

"Wow, miss, you look so beautiful in the wedding dress," Xiaorou exclaimed.

"Come, help me take a photo," Lan Xiyue said amicably.

"Okay."

Xiaorou fetched a professional camera, and Lan Xiyue struck a pose, taking several shots in succession.

Lan Xiyue chose the most beautiful one, uploaded it to her phone, and edited a timed MMS to send to Lin Hao’s phone.

The Lan Family household was bustling with activity.

In the villa of the Lan Family patriarch, three generations gathered together this night.

"This heavy rain tonight is strange. It’s the night before the wedding, and the sky looks ominous; could something big happen?" Lan Yuesheng looked through the window with worry at the lightning-streaked night sky.

"There shouldn’t be any problems; what could possibly go wrong with our Lan Family?" Lan Cangye commented.

The Lan Family patriarch, Lan Yunyi, was sitting in an armchair, his expression also quite solemn: "No matter what, we must be prepared to handle any emergencies tomorrow."

"Didn’t uncle Xiyue say before that the youngster surnamed Lin claimed he would visit the Lan Family? We still need to take precautions."

"There’s nothing to be wary of him; at most, he’s a Grandmaster. I don’t think he’d dare to come over here," Lan Cangye said, "Actually, that kid is quite talented too. If it weren’t for the crisis facing our family this time, and Xiyue liked him, it wouldn’t matter if the two of them got together."

"Our Lan Family has always kept a low profile; I really don’t understand how we attracted this kind of trouble," on the aged face of Lan Yuesheng, a trace of confusion emerged.

Just two months ago, a guest arrived at the Lan Family.

The guest didn’t seem very old, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties.

But his power was immensely terrifying,

Truly standing at the pinnacle of this realm.

Sky-breaking Realm!

A Sky-breaking expert in his fifties or sixties; such a God-like figure’s appearance at the Lan Family had them sensing a strong crisis before he even approached.

This master came to the Lan Family and only said that someone from the Lan Family had offended him, demanding a hundred human lives within a month from the Lan Family.

If it wasn’t done after a month, he would personally come to collect.

A hundred human lives!

How could the Lan Family allow a hundred lives to be lost just like that?

Under no circumstances would this be permitted.

Therefore, they had no choice but to seek out the Ye Family, as among people they knew who could resolve this issue, probably only the Ye Family could.

After getting in touch with the Ye Family, they only had one demand: to fulfill the wedding agreement with Lan Xiyue as soon as possible.

After the Lan Family agreed, the Ye Family used some method, and by the time the month was up, that powerful guest did not appear.

Thus, today’s wedding came to be.

The Lan Family witnessed the strength of the Ye Family, and also realized that without an alliance through marriage and the protection of the Ye Family, that master would return.

The raging wrath of a Sky-breaking Realm master was something they naturally could not bear!

Thinking of all the past events, Lan Yuesheng couldn’t help but sigh with regret for his granddaughter, the most beloved among all his descendants - Lan Xiyue.

This girl, intelligent and clever from a young age, would have been a monstrously talented genius had it not been for her hidden illness.

In his life, the person he felt most guilty toward was this darling granddaughter.

"Right, will her master come?" asked Lan Yuesheng.

"Not coming. The old man said he doesn’t want to see his disciple doing something she dislikes. If it wasn’t for the fact that this is the Lan Family’s family affair, and it’s not suitable for him to intervene, he would surely not let the Lan Family have peace," Lan Cangye sighed, "Can you believe that after so many years, that old man’s temper hasn’t changed one bit."

"It’s normal for it to not change. I understand him. If this weren’t our family matter, and if it weren’t for Xiyue returning by herself, our Lan Family would have been in a tough spot," Lan Yunyi gave a bitter smile, lying on the Grandmaster’s chair, his gaze flickering, evidently deep in thought, "All of you, go down. Prepare well for tomorrow’s event."

"Yes!"

Lan Yuesheng and Lan Cangye, father and son, excused themselves.

Jiangbei.

The Song Family.

That night, Song Qinghong and Song Taishan were conserving their strength, raising their power to its peak, waiting for dawn to attend the wedding at the Lan Family as guests.

The invitation had already been delivered into their hands, with the address clearly stated.

They took a photo, and sent it to Lin Hao’s mobile phone.

Sect Master Huai Shian of Mingyang Sect was also making preparations.

For this banquet, they could not bring too many people; Huai Shian had already sat down to make arrangements, positioning people near the wedding venue, ready to be called upon at any moment.

"I wonder how our master is doing," Huai Shian gazed into the distance, concerned as Lin Hao had not been seen for a month.

After all, the Lan Family was not weak.

Nor was the Ye Family.

His Mingyang Sect was simply not on the same level as these two families - one could imagine how strong they must be.

On the Binhai construction site.

Lightning was unceasingly striking down on Lin Hao, flashing and illuminating with an array of electric waves, creating an extraordinarily shocking visual effect, even more splendid than a special effects blockbuster.

In one corner of the construction site.

At this moment, a young man and woman ran in.

The two hid inside an unfinished building, looking out at the drifting rain outside, their bodies already soaked through.

The woman’s clothes, tightly clinging to her body, revealed her figure, causing her to blush with shyness.

The man, initially heartbroken to see the woman soaked, had his gaze fixated the moment he saw her wet, now semi-transparent white blouse.

Eye to eye, they exchanged sheepish and ambiguous glances, creating a strange atmosphere.

In such a scenario, alone together, ripples stirred deep within their hearts, and unconsciously, they embraced each other, hands wandering---...

"Ah!"

Just as they were about to take their relationship further, and the woman’s white blouse was about to come off, she suddenly let out a shrill scream.

"What’s wrong?" the man quickly stopped, staring at the woman, "You don’t want to?"

"No, it’s not that, not that..." the woman instinctively shook her head, her face alternating between red and white, her eyes fixed directly behind the man, "There’s, someone, getting struck by lightning, being struck by lightning..."

"What?"

Startled, the man subconsciously looked behind him.

And immediately saw Lin Hao, a hundred meters away, weathering the Heavenly Tribulation in an open space.

For a moment, both were stunned.

Frozen in place, they were at a loss for words for a long time...
