The Seventh Episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Wedding Ceremony - Chapter One: The Ice-Blooded Demon Clan

The newly appointed Eastern Governor, Ye Tianlong, was imprisoned for murder and was scheduled to be sentenced in two days! The victims were also upper-class figures in Esnia—two nobles with hereditary titles!

This news spread like wildfire throughout Esnia, causing a huge sensation just like Ye Tianlong's appointment as Eastern Governor. In fact, it could be said that Ye Tianlong's imprisonment this time provided even more fodder for discussion among Esnia's respectable citizens than his sudden ascension to the position of Eastern Governor.

In an instant, all sorts of rumors flew through the streets and alleys of Esnia, from one mouth to another at breakneck speed. The most talked-about story was naturally that the reason this notoriously lecherous Eastern Governor committed murder was because of a love triangle with the two victims. One person recounted the events with great enthusiasm, as if they had been there themselves, while the listeners stared wide-eyed, marveling and nodding their heads. The occasional questions made the whole story even more convincing.

When this news reached the ears of the instigator, his smugness was beyond words. Everything had unfolded according to the script, and the audience's reaction had even exceeded expectations. For a director, nothing could be more fulfilling.

However, the Eastern Governor's Office did not descend into the chaos people had imagined, entirely thanks to the composure and calmness of the Eastern Governor's Military Advisor, Shi Yixin.

"Each of you do your own job well; you don't need to worry about anything else!"

Seeing that he remained as calm as ever, ensuring the smooth operation of the Eastern Governor's Office, the soldiers of the Eastern Governor's Office, whose hearts had wavered, calmed down.

Interestingly, the reason the Eastern Governor's Office could still function normally without Ye Tianlong and its master was that Ye Tianlong, the original Eastern Governor, rarely actually handled the affairs of the office. Since he established the office, Shi Yixin had always been in charge of all matters. Ye Tianlong's role was often simply to confirm the Eastern Governor's presence and attend ceremonies that required the Governor's attendance. Therefore, Ye Tianlong's presence or absence did not significantly affect the operation of the Eastern Governor's Office. If Ye Tianlong, as the person in charge, knew this, it's hard to say whether he would be happy or sad.

However, behind the calm, perceptive people still sensed an undercurrent. Qing Ji, the Deputy General of the Eastern Governor, withdrew all the law enforcement teams he had dispatched for comprehensive consolidation and governance. This action he took at this time subtly revealed a different atmosphere.

But for those with ulterior motives, what worried them most was the Feifeng Manor where Yu Fengwu resided. The newly formed Imperial Guard Infantry Regiment was stationed there, and given her own formidable strength and powerful influence over Fast, would she simply stand by and watch Ye Tianlong become a murderer awaiting execution?

When Ye Tianlong's female bodyguards rode back to the Feifeng Manor, everyone in Esnia with a keen eye and ears strained to observe every move within. However, to their disappointment, everything seemed normal at the Feifeng Manor; there were no signs of any major action to be taken.

The main hall of the Feifeng Manor was now entirely occupied by women. All the women connected to Ye Tianlong were present, some sitting, some standing, all eyes fixed on Yu Fengwu, the "Beautiful War Goddess."

Looking at Yu Zhu and Cynthia, whose faces were filled with anxiety, Yu Fengwu shook her head and said gently, "I understand your feelings, but we absolutely cannot act recklessly. Unless it's a rebellion, we can only follow the current rules."

Liu Qin'er snorted from behind, dissatisfied, and said, "Where is there any extra time for us to overturn this case? His Majesty will make a final judgment in a day, and all the evidence is very unfavorable to Tianlong."

"Qin'er!" Yu Fengwu turned around and said unhappily, "You say that too? As long as there is still a little time, we can find a way to find clues. If we just act recklessly, it will only make Tianlong's situation more difficult."

Sitting to the side, Zuo Lan thought for a moment and said, "Now, Brother Ye's biggest disadvantage is that he was indeed not with anyone else during that time, which means that no one can prove that he was not at the scene of the crime, while the other side can produce witnesses to testify. In addition, there was a bloodstained garment found after the incident. When all these factors are combined, then..."

Yu Fengwu sighed softly and said, "Sister Zuo is right. The gap in Tianlong's record during that period made it impossible for me to find solid evidence."

Liu Qin'er stomped her foot angrily and said, "It's all that damned woman's fault! If only she had come forward to testify, it would have been fine, but now she's denying it outright! What kind of woman can't Tianlong find, yet he..."

Yu Fengwu smiled bitterly and said, "We can't blame anyone else. In the end, it's just that our husband is too lustful. When he sees a beautiful woman in front of him, he forgets everything."

Just as they were discussing this, a maid came to report that Fan Tong and Lu Tu had arrived first.

Yu Fengwu's spirits lifted, and she immediately had them brought in. The women who were unable or unwilling to show themselves all stood up and went to the back of the hall, leaving only Yu Fengwu, Liu Qin'er, Yu Zhu, Long Ling'er, and Cynthia, the leader of the Goddess Warriors, in the hall.

The tall and imposing Fan Tong strode in first, followed by the expressionless Lu Tuxian, who walked slowly but maintained a constant distance from Fan Tong. This subtly told those who were observing carefully that Lu Tuxian's strength was no less than Fan Tong's.

"Sister-in-law, are we going to rescue the boss?" Fan Tong shouted to Yu Fengwu, who was sitting above him, as soon as he entered. "Just give the order! I, Old Fan, am willing to lead the charge."

Lu Tuxian, who was a step behind Fan Tong, stepped forward, bowed to Yu Fengwu, and said, "Tuxian is honored to be summoned by General Yu. May I ask what brings you here?"

Yu Fengwu waved her hand to stop Fan Tong from speaking further. Her bright and beautiful eyes shot out two sharp beams of light, landing on Lu Tuxian, as if trying to see right through him. Lu Tuxian's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless as he looked at Yu Fengwu with humility.

“Mr. Lu, you know where Tianlong was back then, don’t you?”

Yu Fengwu said softly, but to everyone in the hall, it was like a thunderclap. All eyes immediately fell on this usually gloomy and expressionless man. Suddenly being stared at by so many beautiful women, a man lacking composure would surely be flustered, but Lu Tuxian remained calm and composed, at least outwardly.

Yu Fengwu noticed the slight flicker in Lu Tuxian’s eyes, which further solidified her judgment. Without hesitation, she continued, “I want to know what happened back then. Can Mr. Lu tell me?”

Feeling enveloped by several sharp gazes, Lu Tuxian slowly raised his eyes. Indeed, Yu Zhu, Xin Xiya, and Long Ling’er beside him were all staring at him intently. Yu Zhu’s gaze, in particular, was sharper than a tangible sword, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Before Lu Tuxian could even open his mouth, Yu Fengwu gently waved her hand. "Mr. Lu, we're all sensible people, let's not beat around the bush anymore. I think we should talk openly and honestly!"

Fan Tong, who had been standing to the side completely bewildered, seemed to understand something now. He roared, grabbed Lu Tuxian's collar, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You little brat, you dare to lie to your grandfather!"

"Let go!" Yu Fengwu shouted. "Brother Fan, you've misunderstood!"

Hearing Yu Fengwu's words, Fan Tong reluctantly released her. After spending several days with her, he now held Yu Fengwu, his beautiful sister-in-law, in utmost respect and was very obedient.

Lu Tuxian straightened his clothes, looked at Yu Fengwu's beautiful face, and said helplessly, "General Yu is truly amazing. I do know where Lord Ye was and who he was meeting."

Liu Qin'er stood up abruptly, glaring at Lu Tuxian angrily, "Then why..."

"Qin'er!" Yu Fengwu interrupted Liu Qin'er, then said to Lu Tuxian, "Were they from Wu'an?"

Lu Tuxian affirmed, "It was them! Not long after Lord Ye went in, the people from Wu'an came out wearing Lord Ye's clothes. Actually, those two who were killed deserved it; the people from Wu'an had been watching them for some time."

Yu Fengwu nodded and slowly said, "I see. The people from Wu'an did have a reason to kill them.

The appearance of Tianlong only gave the people from Wu'an more options."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Tuxian's eyes. This stunning woman before him truly lived up to her reputation as a war goddess of wisdom, connecting the entire incident from just a few words from him. Moreover, he really didn't understand how she could tell that he knew the whole story. But little did he know, something even more astonishing was yet to come.

Seeing that the others still seemed confused, Yu Fengwu explained, "Wu'an has just experienced a once-in-a-century drought, coupled with the crushing defeat in the Battle of Tianfeng, the domestic situation is quite unstable."

"What does this have to do with the assassination attempt by people from Wu'an?" Liu Qin'er still didn't quite understand.

Yu Fengwu smiled and said softly, "Have you ever heard of 'kicking someone when they're down'? Now that Wu'an's strength has been greatly reduced, how could those who want to expand their power easily let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"Ah, I understand!" Liu Qin'er exclaimed softly, "No wonder Hai Yingyang came to this wedding, and his Eagle Legion has begun to mobilize. It turns out he's preparing to take advantage of the situation."

Yu Fengwu gave Liu Qin'er an approving look and said, "That's it. Also, it seems that this military expedition is the result of a conspiracy between Yunaia and Gilmans. As the pro-war faction members of their respective factions, Trini and Poole must be playing a major role."

"General Yu's analysis is truly accurate!" Lu Tuxian interjected, "This conspiracy to send troops to Wu'an involves not only our Fast army, but also two other countries that have long coveted Wu'an, Chu Yue and Yingxi. And the two who were killed were the key figures who worked together to make connections."

“But didn’t Wu’an and his people marry a princess to our Second Prince and cede territory to us for peace?” Liu Qin’er said hesitantly. “Isn’t it too unethical for us Fast to do this?”

Yu Fengwu shook her head and said leisurely, “Silly sister, as long as there are greater benefits to be gained, who will care about morality, which is just an ornament to be displayed for others to see?”

Yu Zhu, who was standing to the side, finally couldn’t help but say, “Since Mr. Lu knows the specific circumstances at the time, why don’t you stand up and testify to clear my young master’s name?”

Yu Zhu’s words drew everyone’s attention back, and everyone looked at Lu Tu Xian, hoping that he could give them a satisfactory answer. If Lu Tu Xian’s words could be approved by His Majesty and the judge, Ye Tianlong could be released.

To everyone’s surprise, Lu Tu Xian simply shook his head and said in a flat tone, “I’m sorry, I cannot testify, because it is useless!”

“Huh?” Before everyone could understand, Lu Tu Xian said something even more surprising.

“Even if my testimony could clear Lord Ye’s name, I wouldn’t do it. Since I brought this trouble upon myself, Lord Ye must resolve it himself.”

“What did you say?” Fan Tong was the first to attack, his copper bell eyes wide open, his thick finger pointing at Lu Tuxian’s nose, a powerful and sharp killing intent instantly enveloping Lu Tuxian. Fan Tong angrily shouted, “You bastard, do you know what you’re saying?”

Lu Tuxian did not back down in the slightest, his eyes looking fearlessly at Yu Fengwu, whose phoenix eyes shone with power, and firmly said, “If Lord Ye cannot overcome difficulties of this magnitude himself, then my following him is meaningless!”

A cold lightning flashed in Yu Fengwu’s phoenix eyes, and she said, “Is this your idea?”

“Yes!” Lu Tuxian answered loudly, contrary to his usual sinister aura, his eyes also revealed a fiery light. Fan Tong, who was right next to him, immediately felt the change in his aura, like a carnivore spotting its prey.

“Followers have an obligation to follow, but those in positions of authority also have their responsibilities and obligations. I have already proven my loyalty to Lord Ye, so Lord Ye should also prove his strength as a superior to me.”

“You bastard!…” Fan Tong’s roar echoed in the hall.

Yu Fengwu suppressed Fan Tong’s impending outburst of anger and glanced at Yu Zhu and Cynthia, who were poised to pounce. Ever since they heard Lu Tuxian say that he refused to testify for Ye Tianlong, these two beautiful women, loyal to Ye Tianlong, had used their powerful mental strength to lock Lu Tuxian in place. It seemed that at Fengwu’s command, they would pounce on him and teach this strange man a lesson. What

caught Yu Fengwu’s attention the most was that even the usually composed Long Ling’er seemed to be losing her composure. A huge aura suddenly surged from her, and she seemed eager to leap out. This sight made Yu Fengwu nod inwardly; Long Ling’er’s appearance further confirmed her judgment.

"Mr. Lu is from the Temple of the Moon, isn't he?" Yu Fengwu's sudden question caused Lu Tuxian to momentarily freeze in surprise.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tuxian sighed and sincerely replied, "General Yu indeed has excellent eyesight; you even noticed this!"

His words caused a stir among the other women, except for Long Ling'er. A faint, cold smile appeared on her lips, as if this answer was already expected. However, her beautiful crescent-shaped eyes revealed a sharper gaze than before, like a blade gleaming with cold light. Such an expression was extremely rare for her, completely different from the energetic, cheerful, and greeting girl she usually was.

Yu Fengwu knew there was only one reason for this: Lu Tuxian must belong to a race that the Dragon Clan hated intensely, a race that was rare on the continent.

"Are you from the Iceblood Ghost Clan?" Yu Fengwu's expression was enigmatic. Although it was a casual remark, the meaning behind her words sent a chill down the spines of those who knew the truth.

Lu Tuxian's eyes began to turn an eerie red, and his expression, no longer flat, became incredibly complex and ever-changing, yet his tone remained remarkably steady.

"Indeed, General Yu's erudition is truly admirable! I am from the Iceblood Demon clan of the Moon Temple, and I belong to the Five Claws." As he spoke, Lu Tuxian's right hand emerged, transforming into a pure white, translucent claw before the women. A chilling aura emanated from this hand, which seemed not of this world, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees. The

Iceblood Demon clan, though not among the three demon races, is said in ancient times to be the most loyal friends of the demons, possessing long lifespans and terrifying martial arts skills. It is said that they are devoid of emotion, even their blood is cold, hence the name "Iceblood." Another meaning of "Ice Blood" refers to their Ice Burst Claws. When they reach the level of the Five Claws, the blood vessels of any creature hit by the claws will freeze and then burst open, causing them to suffer excruciating pain before they die. It is extremely vicious.

During the War of the Hundred Races, they once reigned supreme, causing immense trouble for the gods and humans alongside the Bloodwing Clan, who belonged to the demon race. Some even called them the "Ghost Demon Clan." For the dragon race, this name also represented countless brutal battles and an innate aversion. Whenever these two races met, it was a life-or-death struggle, a common occurrence during the War of the Hundred Races.

With the end of the War of the Hundred Races and the establishment of human dominance on the land, these people and events have become mere waves in the torrent of history. But today, in Yu Fengwu's Flying Phoenix Mansion, these two races, once mortal enemies, have met again.

"General Yu, now that you know all the answers, are you going to expel me from the Flying Phoenix Mansion, or join forces with this dragon lady to keep me here?" Lu Tu took a slight step back and spoke loudly to Yu Fengwu.

Yu Fengwu grabbed Long Ling'er, who was about to pounce, and asked in a deep voice, "Answer me one question: are you truly here to assist Tianlong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tuxian immediately clasped his hands in a salute and said, "I offer my absolute loyalty to the overlord of the world!"

Yu Fengwu's question was about Ye Tianlong, but Lu Tuxian's answer was about pledging allegiance to the overlord of the world. Although this answer displeased others, Yu Fengwu seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted. With a light wave of her hand, Yu Fengwu said to Lu Tuxian solemnly, "Fengwu understands. I think Tianlong will need someone like Mr. Lu. Please behave yourself in the future!"

"Ah!" Before Liu Qin'er and the others could understand what was happening, Lu Tuxian suddenly knelt down and respectfully bowed to Yu Fengwu. Then he stood up and said loudly, "This subordinate obeys!" After saying that, he turned and strode away.

"Why keep him?"

"Why let him go?"

Liu Qin'er and Long Ling'er's voices rang out almost simultaneously. Their questions reflected the doubts in the minds of everyone else in the hall. Who knew what might happen if they kept someone from the "Ice Blood Ghost Clan" by Ye Tianlong's side? From ancient legends to real-life examples, the "Ice Blood Ghost Clan" evoked a very sinister image. They were no ordinary people; for most, the mere mention of them would be enough to make them tremble with fear.

Yu Fengwu sighed softly, not immediately answering their questions directly, but instead posing a question to them.

"Do you know why Lu Tu Xian came to serve Tian Long?"

Seeing everyone's blank expressions, Yu Fengwu revealed the answer herself. "Only now do I understand. It turns out that the demonic energy on Tian Long's body was never completely removed, which greatly attracted the Ice Blood Demon clan from the Moon Temple. That's why Lu Tu Xian came here on

his own." "Ah!" Yu Zhu suddenly exclaimed from the side. She immediately thought of the changes she had experienced that day. No wonder she had acted so...

Seeing everyone looking at her, Yu Zhu blushed and quickly changed the subject.

"Sister Feng... is Lu Tu Xian truly sincere?"

Yu Fengwu smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then looked at Liu Qin'er, saying, "Although the Ice Blood Demon clan is cold and ruthless, once they have chosen someone to serve, they are extremely loyal. Tian Long's demonic energy will only solidify his choice."

"Then why doesn't he step forward to help Tian Long clear his name?" Liu Qin'er asked, puzzled.

Yu Fengwu pondered for a moment and replied, "Perhaps this is one of the conditions their clan uses when choosing a master! Just like he said earlier. I trust my judgment; I won't misjudge someone." Since Yu Fengwu said so, the group, who always trusted this wise and beautiful war goddess, stopped talking about Lu Tuxian and returned their topic to Ye Tianlong.

After discussing their actions, Yu Fengwu smiled at the still uneasy women and said, "You can rest assured. If we really can't find any other way, I have one last trick up my sleeve. I will definitely ensure that Tianlong returns safely to everyone."

The group felt reassured and dispersed. Yu Fengwu then called out to Long Ling'er.

“Little Sister Long, don’t take Lu Tu Xian’s matter to heart. After all, the Hundred Races War is a long time ago.”

Long Ling’er nodded and said, “I know, this is probably just an innate reaction! I already felt something was off when I saw this guy last time. It turned out he had concealed his demonic energy, but today, for some reason, he didn’t hide his strength.”

Yu Fengwu took Long Ling’er’s small hand and said, “I know that his Ice Heart Severing Emotions martial art is inherently antagonistic to your Dragon Clan’s cultivation methods. It’s best if the two of you don’t meet in the future.” Long Ling’er said

angrily . Waving her hand, she replied, "He'd better avoid me from now on. Just seeing his face makes me want to fight!"

Yu Fengwu smiled. At this moment, their conversation was perhaps just a thought, but whether Lu Tuxian overheard this or the man himself had such an awareness, in the long years that followed, despite both being important figures around Ye Tianlong, he and Long Ling'er never faced each other directly again. Even after the establishment of the Tianlong Dynasty, the two, as high-ranking officials, followed completely different paths. Even Yu Fengwu found this very strange; perhaps it was fate!

While Lu Tuxian's refusal to clear Ye Tianlong's name certainly had the reasons Yu Fengwu mentioned, there was an even greater reason: Lu Tuxian hoped to awaken the latent demonic nature within Ye Tianlong in a life-or-death situation. Having long sought a worthy master on the continent, he unhesitatingly joined Ye Tianlong's ranks after discovering his hidden abilities. He had been eagerly anticipating the full extent of this man's power when this demonic energy erupted.

Stepping out of the Flying Phoenix Mansion, Lu Tuxian's eyes burned with a terrifying flame—or rather, his entire being was ablaze. He had never been like this before, and it was unlikely he would ever again. Yu Fengwu's words echoed in his mind.

"I truly never imagined she was this kind of person!"

Lu Tuxian's eyes narrowed slightly. Yu Fengwu's trust in him was completely unexpected. Knowing his identity, she still dared to take him in and use him, which stirred a feeling he had never experienced before.

"I must work hard from now on!"

Lu Tuxian silently resolved, raising his head to stride into the warm sunlight. He knew there were many eyes watching nearby, these observant people diligently working. But they were no match for the woman of the mansion, whose wisdom rivaled her beauty. Lu Tuxian was absolutely certain of this.
