Nie Feng was shocked: "The Great Dragon Head knows so much about me?"
Chapter 202 Mission
Nie Feng was overjoyed to discover that Ximen Yu knew him so well.
"Now that you've unleashed your potential, you truly have great potential."
"I am conveying a mission to you on behalf of the Great Dragon King."
Yan Lingji remembered Ximen Yu's instructions and spoke to Nie Feng.
"Summer, please give your orders, and Nie Feng will do his utmost."
Upon hearing that the mission was personally assigned by Ximen Yu, Nie Feng was immediately invigorated and filled with fighting spirit.
The Azure Dragon Society has many missions, and any member can go to the mission hall to receive them.
However, it is extremely rare for an order to be issued directly by the Great Dragon Head.
That's why Nie Feng was so eager to try.
Hearing that Ximen Yu had personally assigned the task, Yan Fei, who was standing to the side, also looked at Yan Lingji with great curiosity.
368 Nie Feng's Mission
Seeing the two so engrossed, Yan Lingji smiled slightly and pointed north:
"The Great Dragon Lord commands you to travel to Wushuang City in Yunzhou."
"Marry Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Ming family, and bring back the Peerless Swords of Male and Female!"
This bizarre mission caught both Nie Feng and Yan Fei completely off guard.
Ximen Yu was so idle that he assigned his subordinates to marry a specific person.
Could it be that Nie Feng is Ximen Yu's illegitimate son?
Yan Fei was lost in thought, giving Nie Feng a meaningful look.
Yan Lingji noticed Yan Fei's gaze and naturally understood that she had misunderstood.
He couldn't help but chuckle before explaining to the bewildered Nie Feng:
"You should all know about the rumors surrounding the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking from a while ago."
"The biggest secret of Wushuang City, besides Sword Saint Dugu Jian's Sword Twenty-Three,..."
"The ultimate technique is undoubtedly 'Love That Could Topple a City.'"
"The Great Dragon Head said that this move is no less powerful than the ordinary Sword Twenty-Three."
"And in this world, only you and Mingyue are capable of mastering this technique."
Nie Feng found it even more suspicious after hearing this.
He had indeed read the description of "Love in a Fallen City" on the Heavenly Path Hundred Flowers Ranking:
This move can only be mastered by two people who are mutually in love.
However, he had never met Mingyue in person; at most, he had only seen her in images from the Hundred Flowers Ranking.
How could Ximen Yu have foreseen this and asserted that this move could only be made by him and Mingyue?
the most important is...
"Isn't Mingyue about to marry Dugu Ming, the young master of Wushuang City?"
During her escape, Yan Fei had also browsed the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking and had heard about this matter.
"yes..."
This was precisely what Nie Feng found most incredible.
Am I destined to become someone who steals another man's bride?
"No need for further explanation, this is an order."
Yan Lingji was equally puzzled as to why Ximen Yu had given her such a task.
But she would obey Ximen Yu's orders unconditionally, even at the cost of her life.
The Azure Dragon Society's mission cannot be failed, nor can it be refused.
Despite his confusion, Nie Feng gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Very good, Feiyan, come with me to Azure Dragon Peak!"
After giving her instructions, Yan Lingji's body surged with flames, and she disappeared from the spot with Yan Fei.
Nie Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, then turned and sped towards Yunzhou.
Before the martial arts world of Yunzhou returned to the Nine Provinces, the world was almost divided in two.
With the help of destiny, Xiong Ba controlled most of Yunzhou, while Wushuang City relied on the prestige of the Sword Saint to maintain its isolated position.
Before Yunzhou was returned, Xiong Ba was already preparing to take action against Wushuang City, intending to unify the entire territory.
However, the situation changed drastically. First, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng of the World Society surrendered to the Azure Dragon Society.
Then, the Sword Saint Dugu Jian, who had not appeared in the world for a long time, joined forces with Dugu Qiubai of the Azure Dragon Society to attack the Tianxia Society!
In the end, Xiao Aoshi cleaved the Tianshan Mountains with a single sword strike, and both Xiong Ba and the leader of the Purple Robe disappeared, thus ending the Tianxia Society.
The Peerless City grew ever stronger thanks to Dugu Jian's fame, and the city lord took advantage of Mingyue's appearance on the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking to send out invitations to many.
They invited all the major sects in Yunzhou to attend Dugu Ming and Mingyue's wedding.
Although everyone knows that the current city lord is a substitute, and the real Dugu Yifang has been resurrected by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.
However, since his true identity had not yet appeared, no one dared to disobey the orders of this fake city lord.
On this day, after discovering the truth about the substitute at the City Lord's Mansion, Dugu Ming went straight to question him:
"If you are just a substitute, am I truly the son of Dugu Yifang, or your son?"
The city lord remained calm and slowly said:
"Ming'er, carefully read what the Heavenly Dao Golden List says. The true city lord has long since perished, and although he has been resurrected, he has never shown himself."
"Who do you think you are, your son?"
Dugu Ming frowned in thought, but still couldn't figure out the connection.
"Enough! These things are irrelevant!"
The city lord waved his hand, his tone firm.
"The most important thing right now is to get 'Love That Shakes the City'!"
"A unique skill that can be recognized by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, is there any need to hesitate?"
"Whether it's me or the true city lord, we both hope that you can fulfill the long-cherished wish of the ancestors of Wushuang City and obtain this ultimate skill!"
Dugu Ming had always been extremely eager for this unique skill, and upon hearing the city lord's words, his mind immediately began to stir.
"Since that's the case, why wait for a wedding banquet..."
"Why don't I go to the Ming family now and make them hand over the Alluring Love, the Bright Moon, and the Peerless Sword!"
The city lord pondered for a moment and felt there was nothing wrong with it.
In any case, his intentions have already been made public by the Heavenly Path Hundred Flowers Ranking.
If the "Love of the City" is not brought into the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, things could easily get complicated.
After receiving permission from the city lord, Dugu Ming immediately led a group of experts from Wushuang City straight to the Ming family.
Although the Ming family had been linked to the city lord through marriage for generations, the Dugu family had always been secretly wary of them because of this.
The previous generation of the Dugu family descendant, Dugu Jian, married a woman from Japan, and Dugu Yifang did not marry anyone from the Ming family.
For many years, the Ming family appeared to be on equal footing with the Dugu family, but in reality, they were controlled at every turn.
Today, the entire family is relocated to a remote corner.
Dugu Ming, acting on the orders of the city lord, led a large group of men to the Ming family's gate. After announcing his name, he swaggered into the main hall.
The current head of the Ming family, Ming Jing, had no choice but to greet him with a forced smile.
Upon learning that Dugu Ming had come to fetch Mingyue back to the manor on the orders of the city lord, Mingjing pondered for a moment and said:
“Mingyue is her maternal grandmother’s granddaughter, and from a young age she was destined to marry into the city lord’s mansion.”
"Now that Young Master Dugu is willing to marry her, it is naturally her good fortune."
"However, marriage is a major life event. According to custom, Mingyue should stay in the Ming family to await her marriage before she gets married."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Ming interrupted without any politeness:
"The Ming family's place is small. If we were to marry Mingyue here, it would be a disgrace to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Now that Wushuang City is the overlord of Yunzhou, how can my marriage be arranged so hastily?"
"The city lord has decided to temporarily lend the villa to the Ming family for residence."
"Grandma, please pack up and move into the villa as soon as possible!"
Although the Ming family is renowned, their residence is indeed far inferior to the City Lord's villa.
369. Will the dragon king steal someone else's love?
Having said that, Mingjing had no reason to refuse.
The Ming family quickly packed up and moved into the city lord's villa.
Several days later, the major sects of Yunzhou arrived in Wushuang City one after another.
With Dugu Ming and Mingyue's wedding date approaching, Nie Feng finally rushed to Wushuang City.
Upon hearing that the wedding was about to begin, Nie Feng was at a loss for what to do.
The Azure Dragon Society's mission could not afford to fail, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and head to the City Lord's Mansion.
The wedding ceremony was nearing its end. Dugu Mingzhi, full of pride, led Mingyue, who was under a red veil, slowly onto the red carpet, ready to complete the final ceremony.
Inside the hall, all eyes of the martial arts heroes of Yunzhou were focused on this place. The Peerless City Lord was all smiles, seemingly even more delighted than the newlyweds.
Just as the two were about to bow to each other, the master of ceremonies announced loudly—
"Nie Feng from the Azure Dragon Society has come to offer his congratulations!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Since the downfall of the World Alliance, Wushuang City has been able to rise rapidly, not only because of the reputation of Sword Saint Dugu Jian, but also because he joined the Azure Dragon Society. Most of the guests present today are here because of the Azure Dragon Society's name.
For days, no one from the Azure Dragon Society had appeared, leading many to speculate whether Dugu Ming was being sidelined because he wasn't the rightful city lord. Nie Feng's appearance instantly made him the center of attention.
The city lord of Wushuang's expression changed slightly. He immediately stopped the ceremony and personally led the crowd to welcome them.
Chapter 203 City Lord
Upon seeing Nie Feng empty-handed at the gate, the city lord frowned but forced back his displeasure and stepped forward to greet him: "So you are the former God of Wind. May I ask what position you hold in the Azure Dragon Society, Hero Nie?"
Nie Feng sensed the sharpness in her words, but remembering his own guilt about the purpose of his trip, he replied gently, "The Azure Dragon Society is full of talented people; I am but an ordinary member."
"Even someone as skilled as Master Nie couldn't attain a high position; the Azure Dragon Society is indeed unfathomable." The city lord feigned admiration, then invited him into the hall to witness the ceremony.
Martial arts practitioners along the way bowed to him, and Nie Feng returned their greetings one by one, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor.
Inside the main hall, Dugu Ming and Mingyue stood side by side, both dressed in bright red wedding attire. Nie Feng stepped into the hall, his gaze involuntarily lingering on Mingyue.
Could this woman, who is listed on the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking, be the target of this mission?
Nie Feng wondered to himself, how could the Great Dragon Head know that he and Mingyue had such a connection, and even comprehend the legendary "Love That Could Topple Cities"?
Dugu Ming noticed that Nie Feng was staring intently at his fiancée, and his face immediately darkened.
Although the city lord never explicitly revealed his background—whether he was the city lord's biological son or a descendant of Dugu Yifang.
However, he always considered himself the young lord of Wushuang City and regarded Dugu Jian as his uncle.
In terms of his status within the Azure Dragon Society, he was confident that he was no less than Nie Feng, an ordinary member.
"Nie Feng!" Dugu Ming stepped forward, blocking his view, and coldly questioned, "Have you come here to offer congratulations, or do you have ulterior motives?"
