749: Chapter 494 749: Chapter 494 He is a relative of the master after all.
But they couldn’t let the three Dragon Kings die, either, as they were still waiting for their help in finding the Heaven-Mending Spell for the master.
Under the care of the Hell Palace Magic Artifact Spirit for both groups, they were restrained from using powerful spells against each other, their mana being controlled.
Fighting could only rely on their own physical strength and resilience.
Given that they were capable of ascending to immortality, their inherent resilience was quite impressive.
All three Dragon Kings were ghostly in nature, and although they didn’t have physical bodies to confront the enemy, they had already trained to materialize their form, employing every technique available to them in combat with these Great Power Holders.
The fights made no distinction between men and women, not caring about gender as they struck each other.
The most common maneuver was to grab the opponent’s face and pummel away.
Ao Guang was particularly aggrieved, having just recovered from a beating, only to find himself bruised and swollen all over again.
He wondered if the space’s Magical Treasure was doing this on purpose, nearly immobilizing his abilities so that he was being punched flesh to bone.
All attempts at crying out in pain were futile!
Ao Guang felt that once he got out, he definitely had to complain to Jiang Tang and let him know that his Magical Treasure was far too bullying towards dragons.
How could it allow mere mortals to hit them, beating them till they were powerless to retaliate?
After being beaten and checking the damage, only he seemed to be in the worst state, the Princesses didn’t have a scratch—it seemed that people were somewhat chivalrous towards women.
Even the Crown Princes didn’t suffer as much as he did, nor did his two brothers.
Why was he the only one so severely injured every time?
Jiang Tang no longer concerned himself with the Dragon King team or the Great Power Holders team that were being tormented by the Hell Palace Magic Artifact Spirit.
At this moment, he took the nine beauties by his side, not bringing along the dozens of child disciples.
He instructed them to board the Flying Artifact first, then he himself entered the Flying Artifact, which soared towards the palace gates under his control.
Jiang Tang cast the Buddhist Seal Unsealing Method, and as he lifted the Buddhist sect’s seal, a golden “Buddha” character appeared above the palace gate.
The palace gate opened automatically, and Jiang Tang steered the Flying Artifact out, then turned back to close the gate of the West Sea palace.
Even though those Great Power Holders had been taken into the Magical Treasure by the Hell Palace Magic Artifact Spirit.
Who could know if others might arrive, causing the Dragon Palace to suffer losses?
He definitely did not want to bear such responsibility.
Moreover, whatever kind of seal was in place also ensured that the envoys within the Dragon Palace could not leave and cause trouble outside.
Jiang Tang piloted the swift arrow into the high sky, preparing to head to the North Sea.
At that time, he heard Yan Weiwei’s summoning voice, informing him that she and Ye Tian had set their engagement date for tomorrow.
She asked whether Jiang Tang would be free to come back?
As an elder sister in the sect, Yan Weiwei, now out in the world shouldn’t be summoning him back.
If it were someone else, even if summoned, they wouldn’t be able to return so swiftly.
Jiang Tang’s ability as a junior brother was needed, especially now that he was relying on this very ability to attend her engagement party.
Her nerves would calm a bit, and she would feel a bit safer with him present.
Ye Tian’s parents and hers had already discussed it, deciding to get engaged first and then choose an auspicious day for the wedding.
That was the custom after all, with the engagement solidifying the couple’s status.
Neither Yan Weiwei nor Ye Tian rejected the proposal of their elders.
Ye Tian, as the Young General of a Noble Clan in the Capital City, was certainly admired by many ladies of high status.
Yan Weiwei knew of her senior brother’s capabilities, and he was also adored by many women within the Immortal Sect.
Aware that her own status was not on par, she knew that she had to seize the moment through Jiang Tang’s support, lest she lose the opportunity and suffer a loss.
Previously, like other women, Yan Weiwei thought that so long as she found someone she loved and was willing to marry him, the grandeur of the wedding did not matter.
As children of the Martial World, a simple toast together sufficed for them, even if it meant getting married without witnesses or blessings.
Becoming partners was already a form of happiness for those who lived unconstrained by minor details in the Martial World.
Since meeting her senior brother, the Young General, Yan Weiwei accepted that her marriage would be anything but ordinary.
Facing the prospect of a grand engagement party, her heart fluttered nervously, wishing for her family member, Jiang Tang, to attend.
In truth, Yan Weiwei felt insecure and lacked confidence, even though her abilities ranked her among the elite female cultivators of the Immortal Sect.
Her insecurity stemmed from her commoner roots, as she was merely a Golden Core Practitioner.
Outside the sect, being a Golden Core Practitioner in her twenties might have been highly regarded.
In such grand clans where one’s cultivation is not yet high and their status is not prominent, one’s cultivation is also not high, only their appearance can be considered passable.
In recent days, Yan Weiwei arrived at the General’s Mansion, where she saw many beautiful women.
During her strolls with Ye Tian outside, the beauty of his female cousins made her feel outshined, especially as they walked the bustling streets.
She noticed many women casting their eyes towards Ye Tian, these women with their beauty.
Many possessed a kind of extraordinary beauty, and she didn’t know where this unique allure came from.
Why did so many daughters of wealthy families ride out in their carriages to stroll around?
Upon seeing handsome men, as well as men with great abilities and high status, they were not the least bit shy, some even approached to strike up a conversation.
General Ye Tian rarely appeared in public, and thus, many daughters of rich families and ministers did not recognize him.
Perhaps it was his portrait they had seen.
The women were able to address him when they struck up a conversation.
Ye Tian did not recognize these women, and he heard that recently, many women from noble households had been quite active; they weren’t just going out to attend banquets or poetry sessions.
They were also like this, strolling the main streets to seek out men.
As for these unfamiliar women who approached him casually, Ye Tian naturally did not bother with them.
Would those women give up so easily?
If they had never seen Ye Tian, they could let it go, but upon seeing his appearance and talents, they noticed the woman by his side.
Then some went to inquire about the woman by his side and found that her identity was merely that of a commoner.
The gears in many people’s minds started to turn, preparing to make their move.
They had their fathers and mothers visit under the guise of wanting to see the old General or the General’s Wife, to bring them to meet Ye Tian.
The General’s Mansion was bustling with these uninvited guests sending visiting cards.
Even the matchmakers had nearly worn out the threshold.
The General and the General’s Wife were somewhat troubled; now that their son’s favored woman had already come to their home and their family was also present.
Not wanting to invite further trouble and without wanting to offend certain people, as well as for their son’s happiness,
the General, the General’s Wife, and Yan Weiwei’s parents discussed and decided to hasten the engagement, to dispel the hopes of those wishing to get close to Ye Tian.
They chose a date, which was both auspicious and soon approaching.
Ye Tian had no objections; rather than an engagement, a wedding would be even better.
These days without being entangled by Long Feifeng, he was instead bothered by other women.
He did not want his junior sister Yan Weiwei to be heartbroken, nor did he want to invite unnecessary troubles.
Others might not understand the identities of those women, but he had a bit of an inkling.
All were daughters of treacherous officials, how could he know them?
He certainly could not become in-laws with them.
Ye Tian was not fickle-hearted; Yan Weiwei was his beloved, the one he adored.
If he couldn’t be called faithful, he wouldn’t be the kind to snatch away women who could be those women.
Upon receiving Yan Weiwei’s summons, Jiang Tang was in the maritime region of the West Sea, making his way to the Capital City of Huaxia Country—a not so short distance.
Not to mention ten thousand miles, it was definitely thousands of miles.
By this time, past noon, the thousand-mile journey by flying arrow wouldn’t take a whole day, but it would surely take half a day.
Jiang Tang agreed to deliver the message for Yan Weiwei, planning his return after nightfall.
He would certainly be back in time for her engagement banquet tomorrow.
Upon receiving Jiang Tang’s response, Yan Weiwei felt a lot more at ease.
Changing his route, Jiang Tang also informed the beauties accompanying him that they were heading back to the Capital City, first to attend his junior sister’s engagement banquet.
The few beauties by his side became excited, being able to return to the Capital City meant that one of them could appear at the man’s junior sister’s engagement banquet and stand by his side as his partner.
If their families could pull some strings, they could also get engaged, thus sealing their claim to him.
With Jiang Tang by their side, the women were mentally prepared to share this man.
Even so, more and more women fancied this man, afraid of long nights brimming with dreams, fearful that one day, after all the waiting, they might not even have the status of an engagement, which would indeed be a great loss.
It was unacceptable to let newcomers take advantage of them.
