The colossal spectacle in the sky put every person present on alert.
They raised their heads to the nine enormous phoenix birds, their expressions turning grave.
Those phoenix birds, though not the immortal beast phoenix, each carried a thread of phoenix bloodline.
Every one of them was at least a great demon of the life and death realm!
Even many first-rate clans could not boast an entourage like this.
“Nine phoenixes…”
“That’s the carriage of the Divine Maiden Sect from the Southern Desolation Immortal Domain!”
“What? The Divine Maiden Sect?!”
“The Divine Maiden Sect is the hegemon of the Southern Desolation Immortal Domain. From its sect master down to its lowliest disciple, every member is a woman. Their dual cultivation arts are unmatched in the world, yet they view men merely as tools for cultivation. Even so, countless men willingly offer themselves up as ‘cultivation furnaces’ for the sect.”
“The Southern Desolation Immortal Domain and our Eastern Divine Immortal Domain have always minded their own business. How dare they come here today in such force?”
Just as everyone was puzzling over it, a five-colored radiance descended from the sky and shattered Mu Cangtian’s great emperor pressure.
The next instant, ribbons of color fluttering around them, a bevy of beauties descended like immortals touching down upon the mortal world, landing beside Xiao Chen.
A woman in a fiery red gown, alluring of figure and beautiful of face, stepped forward and regarded Mu Cangtian with a cold smile. “Mu Cangtian, first ancestor of the Mu Clan. Thousands of years old, and you still use your cultivation to bully a junior. If word gets out, aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation in your old age?”
Mu Cangtian frowned.
“You are… Fengxi, first elder of the Divine Maiden Sect?”
“This is the Eastern Divine Immortal Domain. Why aren’t you staying put in your Southern Desolation Immortal Domain? What are you doing here?”
The woman in red, Fengxi, gave a cold laugh.
“Heh. If it weren’t for my little brother Xiao Chen, you couldn’t pay me to set foot in a place like the Eastern Divine Immortal Domain!”
With that, she turned slowly, studying Xiao Chen, her tone softening at once.
“Little brother Xiao Chen, look how worked up you are. Why didn’t you wait for your big sister to come out of seclusion instead of rushing off on your own?”
“Here, take this ‘great restoration pill’ first. If you leave yourself injured, your big sister will be heartbroken.”
Fengxi’s smile bloomed like a flower, her voice honeyed and alluring.
Xiao Chen wasn’t shy about it. He took the miraculous healing pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
After a word of thanks, he stepped forward, looked at Mu Yunxi, and smiled smugly. “Yunxi, come with me. I’ve already arranged it with Sister Fengxi. Once we leave here, we’ll head for the Divine Maiden Sect. From then on, we’ll live free and happy…”
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi’s brow shot up, her pretty face full of disgust.
She knew perfectly well what kind of place the Divine Maiden Sect was.
This Xiao Chen didn’t just want her to betray her family; he wanted her to go off to the Divine Maiden Sect with him?
And judging from how intimate Fengxi and Xiao Chen were, the two of them had probably already dual cultivated.
Could he actually want me to join them and…
Mu Yunxi’s teeth clenched, and she snapped aloud:
“Shut up!”
“You lecher, what kind of woman do you take me for!”
“I actually thought you were a gentleman. To think you’re this filthy!”
“I’m not going anywhere with you. And you’ve brought people from the Southern Desolation Immortal Domain to force your way into the Heavenly One Immortal Sect. You’re plotting something!”
“What exactly are you trying to do?!”
Mu Yunxi raged.
She had said this much. An ordinary person would have given up long ago.
But a Son of Fortune was not an ordinary person. Xiao Chen shrugged it all off with a smile. “Yunxi, now that Sister Fengxi is here, there’s no need to keep up the act. Come with me. Jiang Wuhen can’t force you anymore…”
Mu Yunxi: ???
“Are you completely insane?! How many times do I have to say this? Nobody is forcing me! Nobody is forcing me!”
Mu Yunxi was close to throwing up. How could this Xiao Chen be so disgusting!
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jiang Wuhen beside her.
Her gaze sharpened!
The next instant, before the eyes of the entire crowd, Mu Yunxi reached up, threw her arms around Jiang Wuhen’s neck, rose on her tiptoes, and planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
In an instant, the whole place fell dead silent!
Even Jiang Wuhen didn’t see it coming.
Well, aren’t you bold, Daughter of Fortune?
And in Xiao Chen’s eyes, that scene became a towering inferno of rage.
“JIANG! WU! HEN!”
Xiao Chen roared, grinding out the name one syllable at a time.
And at the same time—

A cascade of electronic voices rang out one after another.
Jiang Wuhen’s eyes lit up. Thank you, kind boss, for the NTR!
Redeem!
Jiang Wuhen thought to himself.
【Ding dong. Redemption successful!】
【Nine Revolutions Emperor Devil Art advancing…】
At the same time, surrounded by the experts of the Heavenly One Immortal Sect, the Empress Luo Qingning regarded Xiao Chen and the Divine Maiden Sect’s people with a cold, impassive face.
“I had thought today’s matter was merely a squabble among the young. I never expected the Divine Maiden Sect to go playing the busybody as well.”
“Long ago, a pact was made among the four great immortal domains: no expert above the life and death realm may set foot in another domain without cause. Any who violate it shall be charged with deliberately provoking war between the domains!”
“Fengxi, what you and your people have done today has crossed that line!”
As she spoke, a cold aura quietly unfurled.
The temperature around the entire Heavenly One Divine Hall plummeted.
Fengxi showed not a trace of fear before Luo Qingning, only a faint smile. “Empress Qingning, that’s not quite right. We came today only to seek justice. To put it plainly, this is still a conflict between the younger generation.”
“I simply didn’t expect things to come to this. In my view, he who tied the knot must be the one to undo it. Let your sect’s Imperial Son face my little brother Xiao Chen in single combat. If Xiao Chen wins, we’ll consider the matter closed. If your Imperial Son wins… we will submit entirely to the Empress’s judgment. No objections!”
“I only worry that your Imperial Son is all name and no substance, and won’t dare accept…”
Fengxi laughed, full of contempt.
But before her words had faded—
【Ding dong. The Nine Revolutions Emperor Devil Art has advanced to the first revolution. Emperor Devil Tyrant Body awakened!】
【The system is now arranging a suitable natural phenomenon for the host…】
RUMBLE!
Suddenly a thunderclap tore through the air. The clear sky turned overcast in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color. The blazing sun dimmed.
A blood moon, monstrously eerie, rose faintly from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The blood moon hung high in the heavens, its demonic glow smothering all righteous qi beneath the sky. Even a great emperor felt an indescribable unease beneath its light.
The next instant, the dark clouds above churned like a roiling sea. An overwhelmingly domineering black dragon burst forth, opening a maw vast enough to swallow heaven and earth, and took the blood moon into its jaws.
The dragon carried both the sinister charm of a great devil and the imperious majesty of an emperor.
The emperor devil dragon, holding the blood moon in its jaws, stretched across the sky for tens of thousands of miles.
The crowd traced the source of the phenomenon and locked their gaze, in the end, upon Jiang Wuhen.
The shock was beyond words.
Especially Fengxi. Her face burned as though she’d been slapped.
Don’t ask. If asked, the answer is: it stung.
Compared to this heaven-and-earth-shaking phenomenon, the one Xiao Chen had triggered was child’s play.
【Ding dong. The host has overwhelmed the Son of Destiny in presence. 2,000 Villain Points gained!】
【Fengxi, first elder of the Divine Maiden Sect, now fears the host. 200 Villain Points gained!】
【The Daughter of Fortune now admires the host. 500 Villain Points gained!】
【…】
Feeling the villain points roll in, the corner of Jiang Wuhen’s mouth curled upward.
“This… is only the beginning!”
Draw!
Jiang Wuhen thought to himself.
【Ding dong. Lucky Grand Draw. Congratulations, the host has won a divine-grade fortune…】
