Everyone present became deeply astonished.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim was actually at the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage!?

They couldn't believe their eyes and senses at all at this moment!

From the Grand Wedding Hall, Davis grinned as he saw his efforts pay off.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim had stepped into the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage half a month ago, but he remained in seclusion until he stabilized his cultivation. Then, he exited seclusion on the third last day and joined Davis in organizing the marriage ceremony, including its defenses and adopting certain plans.

After all, the bride's side wasn't in charge of the marriage ceremony.

Then, Mival Silverwind and Zanna Silverwind appeared at this moment.

Their lightning was capable of deeply paralyzing their opponents, and their combined prowess could surely paralyze many Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses at the same time now that they had caught them in an enclosure with their perfect timing.

They may not be able to handle Fierce Swordsmith Master, Malus Claw, and Ulysses Claw, but that was it. Powerhouses like the one that came from the Emperor Sword Sect and some unheard powers from Dual Lotus Manor Territory honestly appeared weaker in front of their prowess.

On Alstreim Family's side, there were two Mid-Level Law Rune Stage and four Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses. On the troublemaker's side, there were one Mid-Level Ninth Stage and eleven Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses, including the Vital Tempering Sect and Twilight Physician Hall, which turned traitorous after presenting gifts.

Clearly, with the miraculous luck of the Mystic Ice Sect aiding them, the Alstreim Family had the upper hand at this moment with two Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, and furthermore, they didn't need to worry about innocent casualties because the Dragon Families already gave the warning.

The wedding crashers would have to tread carefully or draw aggression from the Dragon Families' powerhouses.

At the very least, only Malus Claw's power would have the chance to escape unscathed from their current lineup.

But that same Malus Claw's expression fell at this moment as he stared at Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

'This fellow was also hiding his cultivation!?'

First, it was Ancestor Xia Yun of the Mystic Ice Sect, and now, it was Ancestor Dian Alstreim! When did these lowlifes begin to dress like sheep when they were actually wolves!?

'They set us up...!'

He believed that the Alstreim Family, Falling Snow Sect, and the Mystic Ice Sect had all secretly teamed up for this moment. Furthermore, there was Ancestor Krane Parazen of the Thousand Pill Palace, who remained neutral.

He didn't know if he would suddenly join and call reinforcements, calling in more powerhouses. Besides, there were also two more fairies of the Mystic Ice Sect. He didn't know if they were here and were as powerful as Ancestor Xia Yun.

His expression increasingly kept changing as he started considering most scenarios.

On the other hand, the people below in the Grand Wedding Hall were impaled with fright.

A Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse actually got slapped by a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse due to negligence? Or was it something else?

But how disgraceful was that!?

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's face burned from not even the pain but the humiliation. He didn't even have the gall to look below and see the faces of his disciples at this moment.

"Dian, you've done it now...!"

Clenching his teeth, Ancestor Gong Kim-Il balefully uttered, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

However, his expression fell again as soon as he recalled that the other party was a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivator.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly asked as he raised his brows while Ancestor Gong Kim-Il could only remain speechless, his expression twitching before he abruptly heard a forceful voice that changed his expression while also making his heart skip a beat.

"Hmph! We're leaving!"

"Father...!"

Ignatius Claw screamed at his father, Malus Claw, wondering why when they still had the advantage in terms of overall numbers.

Surely, they could spread out, attack, and defend, no?

However, Malus Claw's expression remained calm.

"Son, you are not a match for Dian Alstreim at this moment. You already lost the opportune moment, never to obtain Beauty Snow again!"

"...!"

Ignatius Claw seemed to have taken a blow before he appeared extremely reluctant. His expression kept changing, displaying anger, regret, anxiety, and sorrow. It was unknown if he loved Ancestor Tirea Snow, but it could be seen he truly wanted to obtain her.

Perhaps, just for their matching white hair as he spoke before?

On the other hand, Ulysses Claw seemed to console his little brother as he patted his shoulder. Within a few seconds, they turned around and left without saying anything.

Ancestor Xia Yun saw their retreating silhouette and nodded her head.

If anything untoward happened to the Alstreim Family's cultivators after this, perhaps, the Four Great Righteous Sects would go after Malus Claw since they were half-magical beasts. Such half-breeds would most of the time get the short end of the stick when being subjected to investigations and easily die. After all, they were not supported by both humans and magical beasts, sometimes even ostracized.

On that note, she wondered who the fey and magical beast Ancestor Dian Alstreim invited was. Nevertheless, she felt that it was a wise decision for Malus Claw to retreat at this moment.

Influenced by his actions, the others also lost their anchor to be present here, seemingly looking for a way to exit, especially the Vital Tempering Sect. Their oppressive undulations slowly disappeared.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim saw that they were becoming tamed.

Of course, with both the parties almost equal in strength, it wouldn't do well for them to attack him, especially when they still hadn't gained a valid reason to attack them.

Numerous people from below and around the Grand Alstreim City were recording with high-grade Imagery Stones, so their actions were plain to see.

However, as the host, he could still be overbearing!

"You're not scraming yet, Gong Kim-Il?"

Bright crimson flames erupted in Ancestor Dian Alstreim's palms as he raised his hands. His blazing might instantly caused a searing heatwave to form and slap everyone's faces out of their reverie.

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's expression trembled. He turned around and left. Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki shot a cold stare at Ancestor Dian Alstreim before he too followed away.

Looking at their Ancestors leave, the Vital Tempering Sect disciples in the Grand Wedding Hall naturally scrambled to leave as well.

"You too, Twilight Physician Hall. You aren't invited anymore, so leave with your people."

Ancestor Kain Bloodlife's expression changed.

"Hmph! When your crimes come to light, you will be executed even if you're a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse."

He cursed, turned around, and left, followed by his disciples scraming together.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim possessed a mocking curve on his lips before he panned his gaze over the others.

"And you think you are all special? None of you were invited, so scram before I am forced to kick you all out myself."

"How dare you talk to me like this knowing that I'm a powerhouse from the Emperor Sword Sect!?"

The white-robed man lashed out as his sword intent rose, but no matter how it tried to gain the upper hand, it was unable to in front of six powerhouses.

"Do you dare represent the Emperor Sword Sect in stealing a bride?"

The white-robed person became stunned.

Stealing what...!?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head.

"I take that as a yes and take this issue to the Four Great Righteous Sects and your Emperor Sword Sect. Leave your name behind."

"You...! I have not come to steal the bride. I have only come to obtain justic-"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's flames surged and attacked the white-robed man. His expression changed as he dodged the fireball that came at him.

"Dian Alstreim, are you insane!?"

He screamed in indignation as his pupils trembled, but he didn't seem to fight back even with the golden sword unsheathed in his hand.

"There's no warning next time..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim joined his hands, a fiery blaze beginning to take shape in front of him, turning into a burning wheel. Its undulations were not as low as the simple attack before, as everyone could see its might building up.

The white-robed man trembled. He could attack while Dian Alstreim was gathering energy for the big attack and gain the upper hand for one more move against him, but if he really did make a move, everyone else would attack him without a doubt.

"Fine! I'll leave!"

With a swing of his hand, he sheathed his golden sword and left, his silhouette transforming into a sword as it pierced through the skies.

However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim was still forming his attack, which made the Fierce Swordsmith Master's expression tremble.

His cultivation was at Low-Level Law Rune Stage and Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage, similar to Ulysses Claw, but even he left, so what could he possibly accomplish by staying here?
