After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

From the conversations of those who went to the Chen family, it was learned that the Chen family was the second largest family in Fengdu City, after the City Lord's Mansion.

The patriarch, Chen Zhengguang, is over 1,300 years old and has reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation.

Today's wedding is to Chen Zhengguang's youngest grandson, Chen Daiming. Chen Daiming is over two hundred years old and has already achieved the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He is the most talented member of the third generation of the Chen family.

The bride was an orphan from out of town. She had only been in Fengdu City for five days when she captivated Chen Daiming, who was determined to marry her.

When Xu Qingman and her companion arrived at the Chen family home, it was already 7:45 PM. The bride and groom had already finished their wedding ceremony and were just waiting to receive the guests before the groom would enter the bridal chamber.

The two casually chose a table to sit down. It was clear that the Xu family had indeed spent a lot of money on this banquet. All of the dozen or so dishes were made of spirit beast meat and spirit vegetables, and the wine served on the table was a pot of mid-grade peach blossom wine.

However, the banquet was delicious, but it didn't attract people like Xu Qingman and her companion. They weren't there for the spiritual food, but rather to join in the fun.

At the table, an elderly male cultivator with an average appearance, sitting opposite, nudged the middle-aged male cultivator next to him.

"Brother Lin, have you seen the bride yet? I heard she's incredibly beautiful and alluring."

The male cultivator surnamed Lin glared at him and said, "Zhao Zigang, are you out of your mind? How dare you criticize the bride of the Chen family's young master?"

Zhao Zigang smiled and said, "It's alright. The Chen family isn't here. What's wrong with talking about it? The Chen family's young master is just blinded by beauty. What's wrong with that?"

Another person chimed in, "Brother Lin, you're just a coward. Why are you afraid of the Chen family? I just don't understand. What good is it if an orphan girl is beautiful? How could the Chen family be willing to give up a relative like the City Lord's Mansion?"

From what these people said, Xu Qingman concluded that the young master of the Chen family was originally engaged to the young lady of the city lord's mansion, and they were originally prepared to get married when the young lady of the city lord's mansion reached the Nascent Soul stage.

A few days ago, the young master of the Chen family suddenly brought back a beautiful girl. No matter how much the Chen family head and his son objected, Chen Daiming was determined to marry this girl named Si Wanning.

Therefore, Chen Daiming secretly went to the city lord's mansion to break off the engagement without telling his family.

Things had already escalated to the point of no return, so the Chen family head had no choice but to agree.

No one knows what Chen Daiming said to his elders, but the Chen family actually held a wedding for them on the fifth day after the girl entered the family.

What's even stranger is that neither side mentioned the marriage ceremony that should be held for cultivators, but simply held the wedding just like in the mortal world.

When the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) came, Xu Qingman felt she had enough gossip and pulled Yu Jinchen to leave the Chen family.

Besides the two of them, more than a dozen other people left at this time.

Before they even reached the Chen family's gate, they saw a courtyard behind it bathed in red light.

Anyone with eyes could see that the red light was not normal; it contained a faint ghostly aura.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a series of ghostly screams and howls emanated from there, and the entire Chen family was instantly enveloped in a black and red ghostly mist.

"Ah! A ghost!"

Someone screamed, and the guests, who had been stunned by the sudden change, began to scatter and flee.

But as soon as you run to the gate, you'll be bounced back in by an invisible membrane.

This made the entire Chen family even more chaotic. Apart from a few tables of Chen family members, the rest of the guests at the banquet were low-level cultivators who came to offer free spiritual food.

Although these people all possess cultivation, very few of them are actually capable of directly confronting ghost cultivators.

"Everyone, don't panic. Find a place to sit down. With my Chen family's ancestor and several high-level cultivators here, nothing will happen to you."

Seeing that things were in complete chaos, Chen Daiming's second uncle, Chen Shinan, quickly stepped forward.

With the reassurance of the Nascent Soul cultivator, everyone quieted down.

Xu Qingman and her husband followed suit and found a stool to sit down again.

By now they had realized that what caused all of this was a large formation commonly used by ghost cultivators: Ten Thousand Ghosts Entering the Forest.

If Xu Qingman were to take action, breaking this formation wouldn't be difficult, but since she doesn't know the details of the situation, she can't just act rashly.

After calming these people down, the entire Chen family rushed to the small courtyard where the problem had first occurred.

Xu Qingman vaguely heard a servant of the Chen family say that it was the residence of the young master of the Chen family.

Upon hearing that the groom might be the one involved in the accident, Xu Qingman couldn't suppress her gossipy nature and gently tugged at Yu Jinchen, signaling him to come and watch the excitement with her.

At this moment, most people's attention was on the ghost, and no one would notice that two people were missing, especially since the two of them had specially put invisibility talismans on their bodies.

"Brother, what's going on? How did a ghost get into Dai Ming's courtyard?"

When Chen Shinan arrived at his nephew's courtyard, he saw that his elder brother and sister-in-law had already arrived. He quickly asked what was going on.

"Hey!"

Chen Shidong sighed and didn't say anything, but the worry on his face told him that things were definitely not simple.

Seeing that his elder brother remained silent, Chen Shinan then looked at Chen Daiming's elder brother, Chen Daiyan.

"Second Uncle, we can't get in now. Nobody knows how Eighth Brother and his wife are doing. Judging from the situation, the people inside are at least Ghost General level. Only Grandfather can get in now."

Hearing his nephew's words, Chen Shinan became anxious.

"Your grandfather has been in seclusion for decades and hasn't come out. He certainly doesn't know what's going on here. Has anyone gone to call him?"

Chen Daiyan quickly replied, "Yes, yes, my third brother and little sister went together."

Upon hearing that it was her two children who had gone to call him, Chen Shinan's wife, Zheng, turned pale.

It's not our own business. If we call the old man out now, our two children will definitely be the ones who get scolded.

The eldest brother and his wife spoiled their youngest son so much that he dared to cancel the marriage arranged by the old man himself to the city lord's mansion. If their own son dared to do the same, he would surely have his legs broken.

Zheng had always looked down on her elder brother and his wife, who were both six or seven hundred years old and only at the Nascent Soul stage. However, they were lucky and had a son with a single spiritual root who had already reached the Deity Transformation stage at just over two hundred years old.

But with someone this stupid, even the best spiritual root is useless. He's caused such a huge disaster, offending even the City Lord's Mansion. Just wait and see; when the eunuch comes out of seclusion and finds out, who knows how furious he'll be.

No one knew what Zheng was thinking, and the Chen family members were all anxiously looking towards the old man's courtyard.

Almost half an hour had passed, and the ghostly aura in Chen Daiming's bridal chamber was growing stronger. Now, no one knew whether the two newlyweds were dead or alive.

On the other side, Chen Shinan's two children almost shouted themselves hoarse before finally getting Chen Zhengguang, the head of the Chen family, who was in seclusion for cultivation, to respond.

"What's going on? I'm currently in seclusion. Didn't I tell you not to disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary?"

Chen Zhengguang, who was forcibly interrupted from his cultivation and nearly injured, stormed out of the room.

“Grandfather, something has happened to my younger brother. A demon has entered his and his wife’s courtyard. My eldest brother and third uncle couldn’t break in even if they joined forces. They are afraid that if it stays too long, something bad will happen. My eldest uncle asked us to come and invite you.”

"What, how could this happen?"
