Chapter 139 - Mesa the Bride Stealer (1/2)
”Hello there Shinji. Where do you think you're going with my woman?”
Hearing Mesa call Cang Yue 'his woman' made Fen Juecheng angry. He had gone through hell and back to get Cang Yue to say yes to his wedding proposal and make sure that this wedding would be the extravagant wedding that the Blue Wind Empire had ever seen and ensure that the Burning Heaven Clan would regain the reputation they lost during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. And now Mesa Uchiha, the one person he hates with fiber of his being. The one person who could ruin all his plans to make Cang Yue his woman forever, now stands before him and declared Cang Yue as 'HIS WOMAN'! This was unacceptable! And seeing as how this wasn't the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament anymore, there would be no Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa to get in the way of him destroying Mesa Uchiha in front of everyone, and thus cement his name as the 'number one of the Blue Wind Empire'.
But a moment later, he regained his cool. What could Mesa Uchiha do to him HERE of all places. He was surrounded by 2000 of the Burning Heaven Clan's greatest disciples and he had 8 Sky Profound Realm Elders that had come along with him. There would be nothing he could do. He was surrounded on all sides. Granted, he had taken them by surprise with his sudden entrance. But now, he had walked straight into the den of the lion. And Fen Juecheng would make sure that he would suffer dearly, before he would put him down for good.
”Hahahaha… Mesa Uchiha. To think you're still alive. Well, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Blue Wind Empire's 'number one'.” Said Fen Juecheng arrogantly, convinced that he held all the cards.
”Sorry to disappoint you Shinji. You see, I am quite a stubborn fellow to kill. So imagine my surprise when I was gone for just a moment and I come back to see you about to marry my Cang Yue. No, no, no, no Shinji! That's not gonna happen. She is coming with me.” Said Mesa.
Hearing this, Fen Juecheng was getting red with anger. Ever since they first met, he kept insulting him, by calling him 'Shinji' and now he even dared to take away his woman from him: ”You're courting death! How dare you even utter my wife's name you bastard! Do you even realize where you are! We're no longer at the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, so no Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa will protect you from me! I will make sure you suffer greatly before I kill you!”
As this commotion was going on, the Burning Heaven Clan disciples and Elders were starting to gather around Mesa and Fen Juecheng. But Mesa on the other hand still remained calm. And so with his trademark smug grin on his face: ”Ohh wow, I am so afraid. I am just shaking in my boots.” He said in condescending tone, infuriating Fen Juecheng and the rest of the Burning Heaven Clan around them.
”Oh Cang Yue my love. Can you show Shinji how you think about him!” Called out Mesa.
”Gladly my love.” Heard Fen Juecheng behind him before suddenly…
*BAM*
He got bitch slapped off of his chariot and straight into one of the Burning Heaven Clan Elders that stood next to him. Looking back with fury, he saw Cang Yue standing on the chariot he was on just now, dusting off her hand and looking at him with a disgusted expression. Everyone there was looking at this happening with shock on their faces. Especially Cang Shuo, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper. He saw the writing on the walls and he knew that all his carefully laid out plans were doomed. Emperor Cang Wanhe on the other hand, was looking at this whole event with a smirk on his face, doing his best to keep himself from laughing out loud. While everyone was distracted by what just happened now, he could feel a gentle tugging on the jade case in his hands holding the Burning Soul Flower. Looking at the case, he saw that it was enveloped in white, wafer thin strings. And so, with a smile on his face, he let go of the jade case and it flew away, taken by the strings and landing in Mesa's hands, who immediately put it inside the Sky Poison Pearl for storage.
Fen Juecheng, red as a tomato, looked back and forth between Cang Yue and Mesa Uchiha, confused and infuriated. It was the day their wedding ceremony was supposed to take place, and Princess Cang Yue, who was supposed to be returning to his clan with him had actually, right in front of him and under the watchful eyes of countless other people, jumped out of the palanquin and punched him in the face after confirming her love for another man.
This embarrassment was even more embarrassing than getting cuckolded ten times in a row!
Even a normal man would not be able to accept this. Let alone him, the young master of the Burning Heaven Clan!
If news of this would spread out. No! News of this would spread out. Then he, Fen Juecheng, the future Master of the Burning Heaven Clan, would be reduced to a laughingstock in front of the entire world.
Looking at Mesa, his rage having pushed him past the brink of insanity, he pointed a shaking finger at him and started shrieking: ”Kill him! Kill him now! Kill him!”
The procession of troops brought along by the Burning Heaven Clan to escort the bride had looked at each other in dismay and a loss of what to do, but upon hearing Fen Juecheng's shriek, they immediately moved into action. The dozens of people foremost of the troop rushed forward at the same instance towards Mesa Uchiha. And at this point, from above their heads, a storm swept past. A figure flew past them, reaching Mesa Uchiha first. It was Thirteenth Elder Fen Moran!
Flying at him at top speed, Fen Moran's eyes where bloodshot with rage at this immense humiliation that his Young Master and his clan suffered, and he was determined to make Mesa suffer a thousand death before he would put him out of his misery for good.
Standing there calmly, and with a smirk on his face, Mesa would show them once again why he is number one and why he shouldn't be messed with. Once Fen Moran was close enough, he finally unleashed the ace up his sleeve.
