Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1110 1111: The Seven Martial Gods

"You have really disgraced the face of the Demon Realm!" Although he spoke these words, the tone of the Demon Emperor carried no blame; on the contrary, it was laced with a hint of indulgence.

He continued, "I heard that you were so furious for a disciple of the Xiao Tian Sect and even said that whoever could slay this disciple, you would marry them, is that true?"

"I was rash and brought shame to you, Master!"

"No matter!" The Demon Emperor waved his hand and continued, "I am curious to see what remarkable qualities this disciple from Xiao Tian Sect possesses that could lead my beloved pupil to such a resolve out of love and hatred!"

The conversation between the Demon Emperor and Yao Mei'Er was startling; it seemed the Demon Emperor's affection for Yao Mei'Er exceeded that for his own children. Even though Yao Mei'Er embarrassed the Demon Sect, such a powerful Martial God did not blame her at all.

Of course, this also made people realize that even if they were lucky enough to kill Xiao Tianyu, they might not marry Yao Mei'Er. After all, marrying Yao Mei'Er would definitely require the Demon Emperor's approval, and without it, everything was in vain.

"You really dote on this disciple of yours to the extreme!" At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped out from the Dragon Chariot in the direction of the Kunlun Divine Realm, and looked at the Demon Emperor with a gentle expression.

This man was naturally the Kunlun Divine Emperor, one of the Martial Gods of the Eight Domains.

"Indeed!" The Demon Emperor replied with a smile, "My disciple is known as the most beautiful woman in the Eight Domains. How could just anyone deserve her? As for what she said before, about marrying anyone regardless of age, it was just spoken in a moment of passion and cannot be taken seriously!"

"Enough with the arguing!" The Zhan Sect's Emperor spoke up, "Why not have your disciple marry into my Zhan Sect instead!"

With these words, Zhan Tianhao's eyes showed a hint of cheerfulness; was the Zhan Emperor proposing marriage for him personally?

The Zhan Emperor continued, "I believe my sect's Tianhao is especially well-matched with your Saintess. Tianhao's talent is unrivaled and is among the top nine young prodigies on the list. He can practically dominate an era. Moreover, since Xiao Tianyu killed Zhan Cang, a disciple of my sect, it would be fitting for my sect's Tianhao to take Xiao Tianyu's head as a greeting gift. What do you think?"

Crafty fox.

The other five Divine Emperors all glanced at the Zhan Emperor with a hint of disdain. To them, this was obviously not just an ordinary marriage proposal. If the Demon Sect and the Zhan Sect were really to unite through marriage, they'd dominate the world. What benefit would it be to them then?

So, the Kunlun Divine Emperor spoke, "The Zhan Emperor's words are mistaken. Across the world, it is not just Zhan Sect's Tianhao who is worthy of the Demon Sect Saintess. Mu Wushuang from my Kunlun Divine Sect is also a young prodigy and is ranked sixth on the list, which seems to be ahead of Zhan Sect's Tianhao!"

"That was the previous Wind and Cloud List," the Zhan Emperor chuckled indifferently. "For this edition, I doubt your Kunlun's Mu Wushuang can still surpass my sect's Tianhao!"

Currently, these emperors only cared about proposing marriage, seemingly ignoring the strong figures of the Xiao Tian Sect. However, the Xiao Tian Sect also didn't mind; they simply watched everything in silence.

"Alright, stop arguing!" The Demon Emperor's deep eyes scanned across the various emperors, finally landing on the two Supreme Elders from the Xiao Tian Sect. He continued, "I am very eager to see this outstanding disciple of yours, Xiao Tianyu. What does he have that makes my beloved disciple so infatuated?"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

As these words were spoken, many eyes turned toward the direction of the Xiao Tian Sect, only to see a few dozen people standing in front of the grand hall; even among the youth of the Xiao Tian Sect, there were not many present.

Of course, Duan Jiutian was among them, but there was no sign of Xiao Tianyu.

Huh?

Is Xiao Tianyu not within the sect, or is he unqualified to attend this ancient battle?

Many people wondered silently in their hearts. However, it's understandable, as Xiao Tianyu, despite being skilled in music, does not necessarily excel in other areas. Even if he withstood Zhan Tianhao's blow and killed Qiu Tian yesterday, he still might not qualify to stand side by side with the top nine prodigies on the list.

"Brother Tianyu is not in the sect. If you wish for a challenge, Duan here will gladly oblige!" Duan Jiutian's voice resonated powerfully, "I, Duan Jiutian, am of the Celestial Pool's Eighth Layer, and I am willing to challenge all peers from the Eight Domains, to fight to death without complaint!"

Duan Jiutian's voice was sonorous and forceful, his sharp eyes pierced through everything, causing many to be shocked. Was Duan Jiutian planning to challenge all the prodigies of the Eight Domains alone?

It was known that Duan Jiutian was always arrogant; however, no one expected him to be this audacious.

The Broken Sword's elegance.

Arrows piercing the Nine Heavens.

He held a top three position on the Wind and Cloud List; how could he not be proud?

Without that pride, he wouldn't be Duan Jiutian.

"Challenging the prodigies of the Eight Domains alone?" From the direction of the Fengming Domain, Tang Ao spoke lightly, "Duan Jiutian, although you are an extraordinary youth, wanting to challenge us all alone might be somewhat arrogant, don't you think? Besides, your ranking is only at the tail end of the top three. Do you have the capability?"

"Indeed!" From the direction of the Celestial Nether Divine Realm, Golden Roc stepped forward, "Being tied for first with Golden Roc, we've yet to determine who is superior, but I believe each one of us can cut you down beneath our feet!"

What Golden Roc said was indeed true; he and Tang Ao were tied for first in the previous Wind and Cloud List because they were too closely matched. Although there wasn't much difference in strength among the top nine prodigies, rankings are rankings—the higher the rank, the stronger they naturally are.

"That was in the past!" By Duan Jiutian's side, Qin Qiu's beautiful eyes gazed at Tang Ao, saying, "A year passed since then, and in the past year, I believe there have been changes. Who is strong and who is weak may be unknown!"

"I will show you how your glorified Duan Jiutian is trampled under my feet!" At this moment, Tang Ao stepped forward, his face revealing infinite arrogance.

"Your Eight Domains intend to seize our Territory of Divine Energy, with all your strong ones. Now you want the prodigies to duel? What's the point?" At this moment, from the direction of the Xiao Tian Sect, a Supreme Elder spoke flatly.

"There is indeed a point!" From the Demon Sect direction, Yao Mei'Er spoke to that Supreme Elder, "The Territory of Divine Energy is the place where the divine energy of the Nine Domains is the thickest, a perfect treasure land for cultivators. Hence, the other Eight Domains naturally want to see how the disciples of the Xiao Tian Sect cultivate with it!"

The implication was simple—despite possessing such a treasured land for cultivation, in the eyes of the Eight Domains, it is still only so-so.

This was aiming to crush the Xiao Tian Sect in every aspect.

"Do you want my life that much?" At this moment, from amongst the crowd watching the spectacle, suddenly a voice said. The owner of this voice, Yao Mei'Er would never forget.

In an instant, Yao Mei'Er's beautiful eyes turned, landing on the one who spoke, "Xiao Tianyu!"

"Is he Xiao Tianyu?" The Demon Emperor asked, glancing at Xiao Tianyu. Seeing that he was indeed handsome beyond compare, possessing a unique demeanor that could even surpass the many prodigies on the list.

Thus, the Demon Emperor smiled at Yao Mei'Er and said, "No wonder you went crazy for this man!"
