There were not many people participating in the martial arts competition. There were only three. Monk Yuan Yin of Tianluo Temple, the son of the Lord of Tianlai Boundary, Bi Jiagang, and the son of the Lord of Penglai Boundary, Gang Men!
These three great powers were all powers that could contend against the Ethereal Opening Realm. Otherwise, Tao Qianjun would not have wanted to find one of the three great powers to ally with him. Only then would he be able to resist foreign enemies and stabilize his empire. Otherwise, the Ethereal Opening Realm had been covetously eyed by others all these years. Whether it was the Heavenly Lai Realm or the Penglai Realm, they all had the same intention. Only by keeping the powers within in check could he not drift with the flow and be killed by others.
The Lord of a Boundary was not omnipotent. As long as he fell, there would be countless people rising up to replace him. There had never been a lack of experts in the God World. There had always been quite a number of people eyeing them covetously in the dark. Once the city lord's mansion fell, the monkeys would scatter when the tree falls. Naturally, there would be people who would replace them. As for those people living in the Netherpassage Realm, it was impossible for them to rise up and fight back. All they wanted was a peaceful realm. As for who was the ruler, it was not important to them.
To Xue Qianying, Tao Qianjun's trick of injuring himself to gain Xue Qianying's confidence was considered a successful trick. However, Xue Qianying didn't know that even if she knew, she would still do it in order to not owe Tao Qianjun. This was just her nature.
Now, the martial arts competition for a spouse was about to begin. Countless experts had gathered. There were more than ten Hierarch experts and hundreds and thousands of Divine King experts. The martial arts competition for a spouse in the City Lord's Mansion had attracted more than hundreds of thousands of spectators. However, most of them were just there to join in the fun. They just wanted to see a battle between true experts.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the guard leader came in panic. He knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:
"Not good, City Lord. Something bad has happened."
"Why are you panicking? What's going on?"
Tao Qianjun said coldly and glared at the guard leader.
"The son of Tian Lai Realm's Lord, Bi Jiagang … is dead, and he died in our Sky Light City. It's said that the murderer was a powerful Godly Venerable Realm expert, and he even brought along two stunning beauties."
The guard commander said timidly, fearing that the City Lord would vent his anger on him.
"What?"
Tao Qianjun abruptly stood up, his countenance extremely gloomy. Bi Jiagang was dead. The son of the Realm Lord of Tian Lai Realm was dead, and he had died in Tianguang City. This was no small matter. How was he going to explain this to Tianguang City? How could he explain this to Bi Chao?
This put him, the City Lord, in a crisis. How could Bi Chao remain indifferent when his own son had died in Sky Light City? They would definitely find an opportunity to start a war with Sky Light City, especially before this. He had received secret information that the Tianlai Realm might ally with the Penglai Realm to launch an attack on them. Thus, he had no choice but to recruit a few major factions and hold a martial arts competition to recruit his companions, hoping to tide over this crisis.
But now, Bi Jiagang had died in their Tianguang City before the war had even begun. This made Tao Qianjun unable to continue. What the hell was this? Could it be that someone was interfering? Could it be that someone from the Penglai Realm who was still alive from the Tianluo Temple did it?
"Investigate this matter thoroughly. Otherwise, the Tianlai Realm will definitely not let this go."
Tao Qianjun's breathing stagnated, his countenance grim. Now it seemed that this martial arts competition for a spouse was the calm before the storm. Perhaps Bi Chao still did not know that his own son had died here. Otherwise, he would definitely rush to Sky Light City without stopping.
"The martial arts competition for a spouse will be held as scheduled! Outside the City Lord's residence, the arena will be opened! "
Tao Qianjun shouted in a deep voice. Countless people from the City Lord's residence began to get busy.
But now, there was not much time left for Tao Qianjun. The martial arts competition for a spouse had to be carried out as soon as possible. Now, even if only Monk Yuan Yin of the Tianluo Temple and Gang Men of the Penglai Realm were left, they definitely could not stop. As long as he could obtain the support of either of these two forces, Tao Qianjun would not have to fear the Tianlai Realm. At that time, Bi Jiagang's death could be investigated slowly. At least, he would not have to worry that Bi Chao of the Tianlai Realm would do something desperate in desperation.
Tao Qianjun was still worried. Before the martial arts competition started, he went to Yuki Chihyeon's boudoir.
"Qianying, alas, it has really been hard on you. Your father is also extremely ashamed and angry. If you are not willing now, I will definitely not force you. The life and death of my Ethereal Realm is important, but my daughter's lifelong happiness is also equally important. "
Tao Qianjun said in a righteous manner.
Yuki Chihyeon shook her head and said in a low voice:
"I have already decided. Father, don't worry. As long as I can marry into any force, I will definitely not trespass on a single inch of the Ethereal Realm."
Yuki Chihyeon's persistence also made Tao Qianjun feel completely at ease. Now, he did not need to worry that his protection would fail. In the end, Yuki Chihyeon did not disappoint him. Tao Qianjun had to admit that saving Yuki Chihyeon was a completely correct decision. At the crucial moment, she had blocked such a scheming battle for him. How could he not feel happy? And his daughter was also exempted from this political marriage. Tao Qianjun was quite gratified in his heart. But this was life.
For Tao Qianjun, this was nothing out of the ordinary. Yuki Chihyeon was all alone in the world. If she could enter a large force and become the mistress of a family, it could also be considered a good fortune. At least, Tao Qianjun did not feel that he had pushed Yuki Chihyeon into a bottomless abyss. Everything has its pros and cons. To Yuki Chihyeon, this matter was not necessarily not a big change.
"I have really wronged you. Qianying, I really feel guilty in my heart. "
Tao Qianjun's face was full of sorrow as he let out a long sigh.
Yuki Chihyeon's heart was as calm as still water. After all, this martial contest for a spouse was necessary for her. She had to repay what she owed.
The next day, on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion, Tao Qianjun stood proudly. Facing the hundreds of thousands of people of the Ethereal Realm who came to watch the battle, Tao Qianjun was unusually calm and indifferent. However, there was a faint smile on his face all along.
"Today is the day of my adopted daughter's wedding. The martial contest for a spouse is imminent. This old man is very happy to have a daughter at such an old age. My adopted daughter is a peerless beauty with a leisurely charm. Her beauty is unparalleled."
"Since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes. My adopted daughter's strength has already reached the Early-stage of the Hierarch Realm. Her strength is extraordinary. Naturally, I have to choose a powerful genius to be worthy of my adopted daughter. Therefore, I have specially set up an arena here today. Whoever wins will be able to marry my daughter and form an eternal bond with my Ethereal Realm, bringing peace and prosperity. Apart from this love, I, Tao Qianjun, will also present a peak Immortal Grade pill that I have treasured for many years, the Soul Rising Spirit Gathering Pill, as a dowry. "
