Chai Keji, Chai Fuli, and others took this scene into their eyes, each of them was shocked, and their faces became more serious.

They had always thought that Chai Chudong was the most outstanding and powerful figure among the younger generation of the Chai family, and they had put most of their efforts into cultivating Chai Chudong.

Chai Chudong occupied ninety percent of their attention, while the others combined only made up ten percent.

The second-ranked Chai Chuxi was also outstanding, but absolutely not as dazzling as Chai Chudong. The Divine Lord Chai Yundu betrothed Chai Chuxi to Su Yun, and one of the reasons was that with Chai Chudong around, it didn't matter whether Chai Chuxi was there or not. Sending Chai Chuxi away as a gift for marriage would benefit the Chai family's great cause, making it a profitable deal!

However...

"The Divine Lord has made a mistake, a big mistake," Chai Keji muttered to himself. "He sent away our most dazzling phoenix, thinking he had left behind a dragon, but in reality, it's just a worm."

"If the Divine Lord finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll be beating his chest and stamping his feet," Chai Fuli sighed.

He suddenly remembered another thing: "Our Chai family's cheap uncle once had a great battle of spirits with Chuxi, and the two were evenly matched, with no clear winner. So, this cheap uncle..."

He took a sharp breath and thought to himself, "If the two families become in-laws, with the cheap uncle and Chuxi, these two outstanding figures, the Chai family will surely prosper. Unfortunately, the Divine Lord will not give up the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court is too crucial!"

His good intentions flashed briefly in his mind before being extinguished.

The Imperial Throne must take action against the Imperial Court; this treasure land is too significant!

"The Great Emperor of the Celestial Market guards a precious land, but treats it as if it were dirt, and instead covets our Imperial Throne's cave. We will not make such a low-level mistake!"

He silently thought to himself, "No matter how outstanding the cheap uncle and Chuxi are, they are destined to be sacrifices for the prosperity of our Chai family!"

In the following days, Lou Ban, Master Cen, Yu Daoyuan, and others did not appear, and Luo Wanyi led the remaining experts from the Overseas Heavenly Pavilion on another ship, also without a trace, and their whereabouts were unknown.

"Yu Daoyuan's injuries should not be light. Master Cen can restrain his faith techniques, Lou Ban can suppress his original path sword formation, and Yu Daoyuan can only retreat. I just don't know if Luo Wanyi will take advantage of the situation..." Su Yun thought to himself.

Luo Wanyi was good at leveraging power and using others' momentum and strength to achieve her goals. Although her performance in Da Qin seemed terrible, it was because her opponents were old foxes like Yu Jin, Yu Daoyuan, and Su Yun.

She did not give up despite various setbacks and eventually took a portion of power from Yu Daoyuan and Su Yun, showing her capabilities.

And with Yu Daoyuan injured and being pursued by Lou and Master Cen, Luo Wanyi would definitely use his life to threaten Yu Daoyuan, forcing him to submit and thus gaining control of the power in the Western Land.

This woman had ambitions to become the Holy Emperor of the Western Land.

While comprehending the Thunder Pool, Su Yun exchanged insights on the Daoist runes with Chai Chuxi, and both of them benefited greatly.

Chai Chuxi had the Chai family's heritage and had comprehended many of the secrets of the Daoist runes from the Chai family's Daoist techniques and the remnants of the Imperial Throne's cave.

Su Yun, on the other hand, had been treated as a container by the residents of Tianmen Town since childhood, suppressing the ninety-six divine beings in his deep memory. Later, he gradually discovered that the form of the Daoist runes was actually the form of the divine beings.

He also studied the Immortal Records and exchanged with Wu Tong, and with the adventure notes of the old God King of the Celestial Market, his understanding of the Daoist runes became deeper and deeper.

However, the Daoist runes were not just the forms of the ninety-six divine beings, and the methods of invocation were also varied, so it was necessary to exchange insights with Chai Chuxi.

"Su Scholar, don't teach her too much," Ying Ying said anxiously. "Teach her little by little. If she figures out all your abilities and can't learn anything new from you, she will leave you!"

Su Yun was puzzled and didn't know what she was talking about.

The journey at sea was endless, and they didn't know when they would reach the Celestial Market, but the people on the ship discovered that the extra star in the sky was gradually getting bigger as the ship sailed on.

After more than a month, they finally saw the land of the Celestial Market. The two months of sailing had made them somewhat anxious, and now they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, as the ship sailed here, the heavens and the earth became strange.

Looking from the North Sea, they saw the Celestial Market piercing a planet. The Celestial Market was the main body, and the planet was just an attachment in front of the Celestial Market, belonging to the Celestial Market.

As the ship sailed closer, they saw that the planet was gradually becoming larger, and the Celestial Market looked more like a big cake on the planet, an attachment of the Yuan Shuo world.

"It's really strange!"

A young member of the Chai family had never seen this scene before and shouted, "You guys, the south of the North Sea is the Celestial Market, and the north is the Imperial Throne's cave. So, what are the east and west of the North Sea?"

The others of the Chai family also became curious. Since it was a sea, there must be a shore.

If one were to keep walking to the east or west of the North Sea, would they reach another cave world?

However, no one could answer this question.

After two days, the ship sailed to the coast of the North Sea, where the entrance of the Huirong River was located, and the Chi family was in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river.

Although Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao were classmates, he had never been to her home.

Their ship was quite large, and after sailing for a distance in the Huirong River, it became difficult to continue. Chai Chuxi said, "You two ancestors, you should go back from here and tell the Divine Lord that I am safe."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun hurriedly said, "Madam, how can you say that? You two ancestors are guests, and we should naturally treat you with hospitality!"

Chai Keji and Chai Fuli looked at each other, and Chai Fuli smiled and said, "Do you young couple want to entertain over a hundred of us? If we were to come over, it would seem like we are making a big fuss, and it would be a bit presumptuous. Let's forget it. You two should live your lives well, and we will go back to inform the Divine Lord that you are safe."

Chai Keji also said, "You go to see the Great Emperor of the Celestial Market and convey our greetings to the Great Emperor. We won't pay a visit this time."

Su Yun did not insist any further and said seriously, "The Great Emperor has great powers and will surely know the intentions of you two ancestors!"Chai Chuxi and Su Yun disembarked, standing on the shore as Su Yun waved farewell to the departing ship. Ying Ying, perched on Su Yun's shoulder, also waved vigorously.

"The ship is almost out of sight. If we leave now, we can avoid them for a while."

Chai Chuxi said, "But we won't be able to avoid them for long. Their divine powers are vast, and they will soon find us."

She frowned slightly, looking around and said, "The Imperial Court is too small, much smaller than I imagined. No matter where we hide in the Imperial Court, they will find us."

Su Yun walked forward, smiling, "Actually, the Imperial Court is not small. It seems small because four places have been sealed by great magical power. Once the seals are lifted, the Imperial Court should be about the same size as the Emperor's Cave Heaven."

The Emperor's Cave Heaven seemed vast because the Northern Dark Sea was so large. If one took Black Iron City as the boundary, adding the Heavenly Market and the Northern Sea, it wasn't much smaller than the Emperor's Cave Heaven.

The old god-king of the Dong family sealed places like the Illusory Heaven, the Rear Court, the Hanging Coffins, and the Imperial Court. Although Su Yun had not yet visited these places, he imagined they were not small.

These places were all in the old uninhabited regions. If the seals were lifted, the Heavenly Market would suddenly sprout four huge territories.

The couple floated along, seeing the Heavenly Market quite desolate, filled with tombs and all manner of demons and ghosts.

Chai Chuxi frowned and said, "Husband, we should pay a visit to the Emperor of the Heavenly Market."

Su Yun looked puzzled, "Why should we visit him?"

Chai Chuxi earnestly replied, "We naturally need to see him. Firstly, before he met our clan's divine lord, he anticipated the enemy's moves, stole the divine lord's body, took the meditation mat, and forced the divine lord into a disadvantage, leaving no choice but to betroth me to you. Secondly, for both our sakes, we must meet him."

Su Yun laughed it off, feeling truly troubled in his heart.

He was indeed worried about Ying Ying's words. If Chai Chuxi knew that he was the Emperor of the Heavenly Market, how would she treat him?

"If the Emperor's Seat and the Imperial Court are to maintain peace, we must be the ones to mediate. On one side is the divine lord, and on the other is the emperor. We need to facilitate their negotiations and have them both step back."

Chai Chuxi became even more serious, "However, knowing the divine lord as I do, he will not let things rest and will surely test us multiple times. But I believe with our help, we can turn danger into safety."

Suddenly, Su Yun thought of Dong Feng, the physician, and thought to himself, "Now that the physician is the god-king of the old uninhabited region, I wonder if he could impersonate the Emperor of the Heavenly Market and get away with it?"

With this thought, he led Chai Chuxi towards the old uninhabited region, thinking, "The physician has his grandfather's body, who was a god-lord of the Fire Virtue, on the same level as the divine lord Chai Yundu. He should certainly be able to deceive them!"

As the sky darkened, the desolate Heavenly Market suddenly became lively with towering palaces and pavilions, bright lights, and bustling activity, as the spirits began to stir.

In the sky, a ghost market appeared, with heavenly gates towering, and buildings stretching from the Heavenly Market up to the Northern Crown Great Wall guarded by martial immortals.

Su Yun, accompanied by Chai Chuxi, passed through the bustling market, nodding to familiar ghosts and gods, "My wife."

"Yes, we're married."

"Just married, no children yet."

...

News of Su Yun's marriage quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Market. Overwhelmed by the attention, Su Yun hurriedly led Chai Chuxi to the old uninhabited region. Compared to the Heavenly Market, this place was indeed much larger, filled with dangerous lands and many remnants of wars.

Fortunately, Su Yun had entered the old uninhabited region twice before, the second time even leading the ghostly army of the Heavenly Market, nearly flattening the region, so he knew his way around.

They reached the god-king's palace in the old uninhabited region without incident, and Su Yun slowed his pace. From afar, Chai Chuxi saw the resplendent god-king's palace. Despite its grandeur and extraordinary presence, she frowned slightly.

When Dong Feng, the physician, came to greet them with the Eight Heavenly Generals, Chai Chuxi took a good look at him. Despite being surrounded by divine light, she frowned and said, "Husband, this man is definitely not the Emperor of the Heavenly Market. His aura, though sharp as a knife, lacks substance and is far from matching yours."

Su Yun was about to speak when suddenly the old demon king arrived with the Eight Demon Generals and a host of demons. Following the demon king, a sky full of ghosts and gods led by the Literary Saint, the Zither Saint, and the Painting Saint Li Luhai and other saintly spirits rushed over. These beings from the Heavenly Market, who were once great masters of the Saintly and Original Dao realms, rode on resurrected tomb beasts, creating a scene of chaotic divine and demonic dances.

The old demon king announced loudly, "This old servant, leading the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Demons, welcomes the return of the Emperor of the Heavenly Market and the Empress Ying Ying to the palace!"

Seeing this, Su Yun sighed.

Li Luhai, the Literary Saint, and others were overjoyed, exclaiming, "The Emperor has finally married! Our Heavenly Market finally has a second living person!"

"May you have a child soon! Then there will be a third!"

"I've brought a thousand-year-old treasured wine. Today, I won't return until I'm drunk with the Emperor and the Empress!"

...

Chai Chuxi stood dumbfounded at the scene, and beside her, Ying Ying said with ill intent, "That's right, you are the Empress they speak of, the Empress of the Imperial Court."

The little book monster was quite happy, "On one hand, you have the enemy who killed your ancestral god-lord Chai Yundu, and on the other, your husband, whom you must bear a child with to sever your immortal fate. Tangled and complicated, what will you do now?"

"Ying Ying, stop it."

Su Yun stopped Ying Ying, sighed, and said solemnly, "My lady, it's true, I am the Emperor of the Heavenly Market who killed the god-lord Chai Yundu and stole the treasures of the Chai immortal family."
