Chapter 684: I Can’t Do It

Jiang Yun never expected that his inner demon would create a marriage illusion for him!

Marriage was something completely out of his reach!

Jiang Yun remembered when he was very young, his grandfather and the uncles and aunts in Jiang village mentioned this word while teasing him.

Since leaving Mang Mountains twenty years ago, I have never thought about getting married again.

But now, in this magical place, I am going to get married!

Jiang Yun stood frozen in place, his mind blank and unable to think.

"Yuerou, don’t cause trouble for your Brother Yun here. Don’t worry, Brother Yun won’t forget you, and your sister-in-law is very nice, she will surely take care of you with your Brother Yun!"

A middle-aged beauty walked up, pulling the displeased Jiang Yuerou away, while blinking at Jiang Yun and saying, "little martial brother, hurry up!"

Jiang Yun murmured, "second martial sister…"

"Alright, hurry up, the bride is already at the door!"

Before Jiang Yun could fully snap out of it, Xuanyuan Xing and Dongfang Bo had already pushed him and were running towards the entrance of Jiang village.

Jiang Yun arrived at the village entrance almost as if he were sleepwalking.

At the village entrance, there was a bright red sedan chair parked, its red curtains hanging down to cover the scene inside.

"Young martial brother, according to the customs of Jiang village, before the ceremony, the bride’s feet should not touch the ground!"

"Yes, young martial brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry and carry the bride down!"

Dongfang Bo and Xuanyuan Xing gently pushed Jiang Yun once again, pushing him right beside the sedan chair.

Jiang Yun, hesitating, finally gathered his courage, reached out, and lifted the sedan curtain, seeing a woman in red attire seated inside, her head covered with a red veil.

Is this his bride?

Who is she?

What should I do?

Countless thoughts raced through Jiang Yun’s mind in an instant, almost making him forget that he was in a dreamlike state.

Even then, he started to feel a bit nervous and anxious, as if he was actually getting married.

Just then, the bride obviously noticed Jiang Yun’s presence, hesitated for a moment, and carefully reached out her hand.

Seeing the pure white hand in front of him, Jiang Yun’s mind suddenly exploded.

Although he hadn’t seen the bride’s face yet, seeing this hand made him realize – Xue Qing!

His bride was actually Xue Qing from the Snow clan!

In the crowd, someone from Jiang village started teasing, "Little Yun, stop staring at Miss Qing’s hand, you’ll have plenty of time to look after the ceremony!"

"Hurry up and carry Miss Qing down from the sedan chair, the auspicious time is coming, don’t waste time, hurry to the ceremony!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Jiang Yun quickly nodded and reached out to grab the clean white hand.

When their hands touched, their bodies both trembled slightly.

Holding Xue Qing’s hand, Jiang Yun didn’t feel the cold unique to the Snow clan, but instead felt a warm flow spreading throughout his body.

Next, Jiang Yun carried Xue Qing on his back, blushing as he walked step by step into the largest wooden house in Jiang village amidst the cheers and blessings of the crowd.

At this moment, the house was also decorated with colorful lanterns, already crowded with people.

Jiang Yun looked up, and at the top of the room, three people were seated.

On the left was his grandfather Jiang Wanli, on the right was his master Gu Bulao, and in the middle sat the Snow clan’s grandfather!

The three of them all smiled lovingly, looking at him with warmth and pride in their eyes.

Under the gaze of the three, Jiang Yun felt unsure what to do, standing there with Xue Qing on his back, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Dongfang Bo cleared his throat and said, "Hurry, hurry, the auspicious time has come, little martial brother, quickly set the bride down, it’s time for the ceremony!"

Jiang Yun quickly placed Xue Qing gently on the ground as instructed, and they stood on either side.

"Bow to the heavens and the earth!"

"Bow to our parents!"

"Bow as husband and wife!"

With Dongfang Bo’s loud voice, Jiang Yun and Xue Qing completed the ceremony, drenched in sweat.

"Escort to the bridal chamber!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun felt a sense of relief, holding Xue Qing’s hand, they hurriedly left as if escaping, entering the prepared bridal chamber.

Inside the bridal chamber, Xue Qing sat at the head of the bed, while Jiang Yun stood beside her. Both of them didn’t know what to say, as two red candles burned quietly on the table, occasionally making crackling sounds.

In that moment, Jiang Yun completely forgot that he was in a dreamworld.

Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door, "Hey, groom, come out now, we’re waiting to drink with you!"

Jiang Yun, feeling helpless, whispered to Xue Qing, "I, I’ll be right back!"

"Hmm!" Xue Qing’s voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Inside the wooden house, the lights were bright, people were chatting loudly, toasting each other, and there was constant laughter.

Everyone’s faces were full of happiness, raising their glasses often.

Even Grandpa, who rarely smiled, had a big grin today, letting everyone pour alcohol into his mouth with a flushed face.

As for Jiang Yun, he became the center of attention, not even realizing how much he had drunk.

However, the more he drank, the more sober he felt, making him gradually aware that he was in a dreamlike state.

Watching everything before him, hearing the laughter and toasts, Jiang Yun felt a long-lost sense of relaxation in his heart.

Since twenty years ago, when he left the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, his life has been filled with various things, and he has carried many burdens in his heart, never having a day of peace.

At this moment, surrounded by his loved ones, friends, and fellow disciples, all coming together in harmony and happiness, isn’t this the life he has always wanted?

"If all of this is true, how wonderful would that be?"

But then, a voice suddenly popped into his mind, "This is an illusion, all of this is your inner demon, what you see here is your attachment that you can’t let go of!"

"Make this illusion disappear, make these fantasies vanish, only by letting go of your attachments can you break the illusion and defeat the inner demon!"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yun murmured, "What should I do?"

"It’s simple, kill them all, set a big fire, burn everything to ashes!"

"They are all just illusions, the real versions of them still exist in the world, what are you holding on to, and what can’t you do?"

Actually, Jiang Yun knows what this voice is talking about.

Burning everything in front of them would not have any effect on the true them.

However, Jiang Yun couldn’t do it!

How could he bring himself to burn his grandfather, his master, and everything he cared about in a big fire!

But he also knew that if he couldn’t do it, his soul would forever be trapped in this illusion until he died completely.

Especially with his physical body still sitting on the stone tablet of the Seeking-Tao Sect in reality, the Boundary Patroller would arrive soon.

Once the Boundary Patroller appeared, if his soul was trapped in the illusion, what awaited him would be a fate worse than death.

After a long silence, Jiang Yun shook his head.

"I…I can’t do it!"

"Since you can’t do it, then I’ll do it for you!"

As the sound rang out again, a figure appeared in front of Jiang Yun.

Watching this version of himself, identical but radiating a powerful aura, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but pause and say, "You are…!"
