Chapter 1522 - Interference?
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes narrowed as he had little to no conversation with this powerhouse.
The atmosphere quickly turned tense.
Almost everyone who was already aware of the situation had their eyes illuminate in excitement over drama. On the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim was practically clueless before a Grand Elder who stayed back informed him of that event with a soul transmission.
A Vital Tempering Sect's youth had been truly killed?
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's lips curved into a smile.
"Ancestor Gong Kim-Il, can you tell me what your core disciple did before he died?"
Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's expression stayed frigid, "I was told that he was courting Jaisi Alstreim, whose name is currently renowned for her culinary skills."
Jaisi Alstreim, who was currently in the Grand Wedding Hall, abruptly trembled. She felt small in front of these powerhouses and was afraid to be called out. Nevertheless, she prepared herself.
"Is that so?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly smiled before he harrumphed, "I was told that he tried to behave wrongfully and force Jaisi Alstreim to become his woman. If that's the case, then he deserves what he gets."
"How can that be!?"
Ancestor Gong Kim-Il stood up as the table in front of them couldn't take the pressure and shattered.
"Do you think that a mere Jaisi Alstreim's life is equal to one of my core disciple's life? First of all, we don't even know if she's lying."
"We have witnesses." Ancestor Dian Alstreim interrupted, "Gong Kim-Il. Today, I won't tolerate any kind of bullshit, so be wary of what you utter from your mouth."
"Ah! Look at that!" Ancestor Gong Kim-Il pointed at him as he looked around, "Everyone, can you see the arrogance of this person? Not only does he think that he is big since he's marrying Beauty Snow, but he also dares to flout justice in front of you all, where six powerhouses have gathered to go out of their way and congratulate him."
"Nevertheless, since this is Ancestor Tirea Snow's long-awaited day, I'll give some face and wait for the Nine Western Territories to make a decision about my core disciple's death."
After he said his piece, he flicked his sleeve with a harrumph and sat down, snapping his finger for a replacement table and dishes.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes were narrowed as he saw Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's outburst. It was as if he was throwing a tantrum, but when he slightly looked around, he saw that guests had negative opinions. They had even started gossiping, making the atmosphere rather ambiguous, almost turning the public opinion against him.
'Oh? So they're trying to get the general populace to view me as a villain so that they could 'righteously' attack me?'
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression became cold.
However, the fault thrown at him was not convincing, so Ancestor Gong Kim-Il tactically retreated, saying that he would wait for the collective decision of the Nine Western Territories.
"Justice? The only justice when a man gets forceful with a woman when she did no wrong is death!"
At this moment, Sect Master Bing Luli's voice coldly resounded.
"True, we must investigate both parties of this incident before we can make a judgment."
Ancestor Krane Parazen from the Thousand Pill Palace echoed her voice.
"I think the injustice of that incident is already clear."
Ancestor Kane Bloodlife of the Twilight Physician Hall spoke with a smile before he drank wine. His statement was quite ambiguous, leaving the people to interpret it.
However, as he was from the Twilight Physician Hall, where their power saves lives, everyone thought that robbing a life in that incident was an injustice done. So it meant that the Alstreim Family was in the wrong.
The mood quickly became dragged towards the mud, with most of the people looking at the Alstreim Family with a bit of disdain.
Jaisi Alstreim had just relaxed with two Ancestors supporting her, but with this last statement, she became afraid that she would be called to the front to be investigated.
However, suddenly...
"Ahaha! Excellent! What a joyous and boisterous atmosphere! A wedding should be like this!"
At this moment, a booming voice echoed from the entrance.
Everyone turned their heads as their hearts skipped a beat and saw that four powerhouses stood near the entrance along with a dozen youths.
The one who spoke had his hands spread out and a wide smile on his face.
However, he was with three other powerhouses, causing Davis and many others to narrow their brows.
The announcer was practically trembling before them, having a fearful expression on his face. However, the lips of the four powerhouses seemed to be moving before the announcer gulped and announced.
"Ancestor Thorus Zlatan of the Zlatan Family, Ancestor Sarax Orcha of the Orcha Family, Ancestor Heztus Ike of the Ike Family and Ancestor Kyris Domitian of the Domitian Family has graced the Alstreim Family with their presence."
His voice boomed out despite the visible fear on his face.
"Ahaha!" Thorus Zlatan patted the announcer's shoulder as he chuckled, "You, little people, need to learn that we are not Ancestors. We are martial powerhouses, so when you address us, make sure you address us with 'Overlord'."
"Ah, yes..." The announcer's voice was so weak that even the others felt their hearts trembling.
The Dragon Families then walked forwards toward the front.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim felt annoyed, wondering why all of them were here when only Thorus Zlatan had invited himself?
As for the guests gathered, their brains trembled with numerous emotions.
Although they knew that they were guarding the Territory Gates for a certain special individual, they didn't think that they would interfere in their small world.
Nevertheless, the grandness of this marriage just went up a level, causing them to suck in a deep breath of cold air.
Once the Dragon Families arrived at the forefront, they clasped their hands and spoke.
"Congratulations to Dian Alstreim."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression became cold. Despite what they said, their eyes were on his Tirea, looking quite taken aback and even l.u.s.tful. However, they didn't keep it up for long and smiled at him.
"I see you went speechless from the presence of all four of us, but no need to be so stiff. We have just come here for entertainment while we wait for our Dragon Queen to exit seclusion."
"Well then, take a seat. The spot of the Towering Cloud Hall seems to be empty, and you all brought only a few people, so why don't you all sit there?"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim smilingly spoke before he looked towards the side.
"Valdrey Alstreim, show them the place."
"Yes."
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim nodded and walked towards them. He clasped his hands and gestured for them to follow him, which they did.
Looking at their conduct, Ancestor Dian Alstreim hopefully mused.
'Maybe they haven't come for trouble after all.'
However, he wasn't worried. Not only was his own power adequate to battle them, but the current defenses of the Alstreim Family were also a far cry from its previous self, making it more difficult to crack than before.
As for the Dragon Queen, he felt like she needed to somehow make her escape along with Davis after this marriage ended.
Surely, these Dragon Family people can't just be here for the wedding, right?
The Dragon Families sat at the Towering Cloud Hall's space and were instantly served with tasty dishes and wine. However, they didn't seem to be impressed but had a large appetite that they kept on asking for seconds.
With them interfering with the previous problem, the atmosphere had returned to normal, turning amicable as the guests began to enjoy the banquet.
Everything proceeded smoothly, giving Ancestor Dian Alstreim peace of mind. Dancers came and brightened the atmosphere. Their moves and beauty left the guests awed and breath-taken. The elegantly dressed beautiful dancers even left them drooling, upon which they just stuffed food in their mouths to hide it.
However, this peaceful and passionate atmosphere only lasted for an hour or so before Thorus Zlatan's voice abruptly echoed.
"If this is a celebration, then there needs to be a kind of exciting atmosphere, right?"
"True, the dance of the Alstreim Family beauties is not lacking, but I prefer if it is more exciting."
Sarax Orcha deeply smiled before Heztus Ike smirked.
"How about we have the younger generation showcase their skills? Of course, my family's youth would not participate in it unless they feel like they met an opponent."
"Of course." Kyris Domitian laughed, "We are not here to bully the weak, after all. Haha!"
"Same here~"
The other three overlords commented while their youths grinned with utter disdain, causing the guests to be taken aback before the atmosphere peaked!
"Woah!!!"
It became instantly bustling with talks about having the younger generation fight for their entertainment.
