Draped in a bridal gown and adorned with a phoenix crown,
Sikong Shan was about to...
"Whoosh—!"
At his words, everyone inhaled sharply, their gazes fixed on Sikong Shan. Though he exuded no outward aura, he stood there like an immovable mountain, suffocating those around him.
Describing the pressure Sikong Shan exerted at that moment as unfathomable would be an understatement.
It was clear even to the dullest among them.
He, Sikong Shan, was not merely asking Nangong Xuandie to serve him; he wanted her for himself.
And refusal was not an option. The consequences of angering an immortal were unimaginable.
Yet, amidst this tension, a strange feeling arose within the crowd as they looked at Nangong Xuandie, unsure whether to feel pity or congratulations for her.
Although Sikong Shan appeared far from virtuous, his immense power as an immortal meant that anyone he took an interest in while in the Lower Realm would have no choice but to comply.
Before a powerful immortal, even death seemed a difficult escape.
Now, however, Sikong Shan had Nangong Xuandie waiting in her bridal attire for Jin Shan's arrival.
And it was clear that tomorrow would mark a significant event; Sikong Shan seemed genuinely intrigued by Nangong Xuandie.
He wasn't just looking for amusement; he intended for Nangong Xuandie to marry him.
"Boom!"
Wuma Xian'er and Nangong Xuandie understood the implications of Sikong Shan's words. Their hearts trembled as their faces turned pale.
Wuma Xian'er’s smile faded as she turned to Sikong Shan and said, “Senior, you are a celestial being from the Upper Realm, yet you resort to such intimidation, coercing others into doing what they do not wish to do. Isn’t that a bit lacking in grace?”
“How dare you speak to my senior like that! Does the Supreme Demon Sect of the Southern Wilderness seek its own destruction?” Jin Shan's voice boomed, showing no mercy.
The powerful figures from various factions felt a shiver run through them, becoming even more cautious. To openly threaten the Southern Wilderness's Dominant Force, the Supreme Demon Sect, was no small matter.
Such aggression—who would dare provoke it?
Sikong Shan, however, wore a sardonic smile. He waved his hand dismissively at Jin Shan and turned to Wuma Xian'er. “Grace? Can grace be eaten? Can it enhance my strength?”
“In the Cultivation World, regardless of where it is, strength reigns supreme. What use is grace?”
“Moreover, I am here discussing matters of desire with you, yet you bring up grace. That is truly lacking in taste!”
As he spoke, Sikong Shan shook his head, seemingly disappointed in Wuma Xian'er, having lost interest in her. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Nangong Xuandie and smiled coldly. “I believe you understand my intentions. Do you not wish to comply?”
Nangong Xuandie’s gaze remained fixed on Sikong Shan, her expression unchanged and calm.
Her already striking figure exuded an air of nobility and dignity that was simply breathtaking.
Draped in Colorful Garb and adorned with a phoenix crown?
Nangong Xuandie did not respond but silently repeated his words in her mind.
If given a choice, she certainly would not want this.
But could she choose?
Clearly, she had no power to choose.
Seeing Nangong Xuandie remain silent, Jin Shan urged her on the side. “Nangong Xuandie, let me be frank with you: my senior is an immensely powerful Celestial Being. For him to take notice of you is a blessing you’ve earned over eight lifetimes; do not be ungrateful.”
“Celestial Being?”
At these words, everyone, including Nangong Xuandie and Wuma Xian'er, felt a jolt in their hearts.
According to what they knew, when one reached the Pinnacle of God-Slaying in Cultivation, converting all their Celestial Energy into Celestial Essence and achieving a perfect state before ascending, the first realm attained was the Ascension Realm.
This was what was referred to as an immortal.
However, Jin Shan was now saying that his senior brother, Sikong Shan, was a Celestial Being.
Clearly, this was a realm that transcended the Ascension Realm.
Stronger than an immortal of the Ascension Realm!
“Ha…”
Nangong Xuandie took a deep breath, her gaze turning to Sikong Shan. With a gentle smile, she nodded lightly and said, “Since Nangong Xuandie has received the favor of an immortal, it is only right to cherish it. If possible, then Nangong Xuandie should go back now and prepare herself well, waiting for Jin Xian’s arrival.”
“Nangong Xuandie, you…”
Upon hearing this, Wuma Xian'er looked at Nangong Xuandie, her expression instantly turning extremely ugly.
Yet she found herself unable to speak, for she understood all too well.
Faced with an immortal presence, let alone a single Celestial Being.
Even now that Jin Shan had returned from his ascension, they were powerless to resist.
“Haha, good, very good!”
Hearing this, Sikong Shan burst into laughter, repeating the word "good" three times in a row, clearly very pleased with Nangong Xuandie’s awareness of the situation.
He said, "In that case, tomorrow morning, it will be up to you, Junior Brother Jin Shan, to personally go and bring the lady to greet your senior brother."
Jin Shan quickly nodded with a smile and flattered, "Senior Brother has just arrived in the Lower Realm and encountered a beautiful lady. Such an important matter, of course, I must go personally."
"Besides that, our Suspended King Sword Sect must hold a grand banquet to celebrate for you, Senior Brother." As he spoke, Jin Shan directly called out to the current sect leader of the Suspended King Sword Sect, Xiao You, who was standing nearby: "Xiao You, hurry and give the order to prepare a grand banquet for seven days and nights in celebration of Senior Brother's happy union."
Just as Xiao You was about to take his leave to carry out the order, Sikong Shan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Ah, Junior Brother Jin Shan, there's no need for such extravagance. We have important matters to attend to in the Lower Realm this time; a simple celebration for three days and nights will suffice. After the celebration, we still have serious business to handle."
Thinking of their mission in the Lower Realm, Jin Shan's expression became somewhat serious as he quickly flattered again, "It is still Senior Brother who understands the priorities; I have been reckless!"
"Did you hear that? Three days and nights it is," Jin Shan instructed Xiao You.
Xiao You hurriedly accepted the order and left in a panic, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Jin Shan then turned his gaze towards the Four Ancestors, Baili Bo, Aotian, and other prominent figures from the Lower Realm. With an arrogant tone, he declared, "You all heard it too; tomorrow is a day of great joy for my Senior Brother Sikong. The Suspended King Sword Sect will soon host a banquet. Since you are here, do not leave; stay and drink a toast with us!"
"The immortal is celebrating; how could we dare to leave? We must stay and properly toast the immortal."
"Indeed, being able to drink the immortal's celebratory wine is a blessing we have cultivated over several lifetimes; how could we leave without paying our respects?"
"We will certainly accompany the immortal in drinking for three days and nights; we won't return until we are drunk!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly expressed their agreement with utmost respect.
