Dongfang Yilang's words reverberated throughout the main hall, causing it to sink into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Dongfang Ichiro with stiff expressions. They had not expected that the latter would actually force the marriage.
If Dongfang Yilang wasn't forcing her to marry him by using her past as a threat, then what was?
"Impossible!" After a few seconds of silence, a shrill voice rang out. It was Cheng Ruoling.
She didn't have a good impression of Dongfang Jie. In fact, she hated him to the core. She would never agree to be engaged to him.
"Is it impossible?" The corners of Dongfang Yilang's mouth curled up into a smile. His sinister gaze focused on Mou Xianglong as he said faintly, "Lord Cold Thearch, you are one of the Nine Thearchs. Back then, when this Empress helped you, you promised that if this Empress had anything to ask of you in the future, as long as you could do it, you would definitely agree. I believe that this marriage is within the capabilities of Lord Frost Emperor. "
Mou Xianglong's pretty face became gloomy and her eyebrows knitted together tightly. Her eyes couldn't help but flicker with hesitation.
Seeing Mou Xianglong's reaction, Cheng Ruoling anxiously shouted, "Mother, you're not really going to agree, are you?"
"Xiang Long, what did you promise Donghuang that year? Was it to save me? I am a man. How can I use my daughter's happiness as the price for my current life? No matter what, I will never agree to Donghuang's proposal! "Cheng Jue stepped forward and said gravely.
Of course, he was not captured by Luo Chenhui. Only his vitality veins were crippled, which was already a great mercy.
However, he did not know how much Mou Xianglong had done for all of this.
Hearing Cheng Jue's words, Mou Xianglong's face became even gloomier.
Cheng Ruoling was her daughter. As a mother, how could she bear to watch her daughter's happiness be destroyed?
The atmosphere in the hall instantly fell into deathly silence, and it was suffocating and oppressive.
Cheng Ruoling's eyes were red and moist.
"Donghuang, you are also one of the Nine Emperors. With your status, is it really appropriate for you to threaten a little girl?" Right at this moment, an unexpected voice rang out. It was Du Danfeng.
Right now, Du Danfeng didn't just dislike Dongfang Yilang's way of doing things; he had other plans in mind.
"Poison Emperor, this is a matter between me and the Frost Emperor. You don't seem to have the qualifications to interfere, do you?" Dongfang Yilang glanced at Du Danfeng and said indifferently.
"Is it really between the two of you?" Du Danfeng chuckled and said, "I seem to remember that the treatment of Cheng Jue back then was a matter that the nine of us discussed together. Could it be that you have reached some sort of agreement with the Frost Emperor? I wonder what the Snow Empress and the Daynight Empress would think if they knew about this? "
"Du Danfeng, what do you mean by that?" Dongfang Yi's face sank. Clearly, he did not expect Du Danfeng to say such things.
"Nine Thearchs Discuss!" Hearing this, Nie Tian thought's head couldn't help but tremble. He immediately understood that the Nine Thearchs seemed to have decided how to deal with Cheng Jue back then.
Perhaps in order to protect Cheng Jue, Emperor Han had secretly made a deal with Dongfang Yilang and owed him a big favor.
Nie Tian's guess was right. The matter of him being killed back then had many implications, and the handling of Cheng Jue was one of the key issues.
Not because of anything else, but because of Cheng Jue's Dragon Sun Extermination Physique!
The Dragon Sun Extermination Physique was an extremely rare Heaven Rank Physique. Once it matured, its potential would be limitless.
Luo Chenhun had strongly advocated for Cheng Jue to be killed to prevent any future trouble.
However, Cheng Jue and the Frost Emperor had an unusual relationship. In the end, Cheng Jue's yuan meridians were destroyed, and she was not allowed to step out of the Divine Chill Palace for the rest of her life!
Back then, Dongfang Yilang had stood up to support Mou Xianglong at a crucial moment, and that was how Cheng Jue's life was saved.
As he thought about all this, Nie Tian thought's head was trembling violently.
He had a bold guess in his mind: His death back then was also a decision made by the Nine Thearchs!
This guess made Nie Tian's face sink. Even though he did not know how likely it was to be true, he had a bold guess. However, if it was true, didn't that mean that the Nine Thearchs had planned to kill him back then?
"Lord Donghuang, you know very well what I mean," Zhou Donghuang said. Du Danfeng looked at Dongfang Yilang and smiled faintly. "If you don't want to blow things up, then let me have Cheng Jue."
Du Danfeng and Dongfang Yilang were both Nine Thearchs, and both of them knew the Snow Empress very well. The Snow Empress hated the Nine Thearchs the most when they formed factions and colluded with each other.
"Let you have her?" Dongfang Yilang was stunned. He did not understand what Du Danfeng meant, and said, "You are already so old. Are you interested in a little girl?"
"Bullsh * t!" Du Danfeng shouted angrily. "Cheng Jue has the rare Ten Thousand Poison Spirit Meridian. I want to take her as my disciple. Can't I?"
"Disciple?" Dongfang Yilang was stunned once again. He did not expect Du Danfeng to have such an idea.
Everyone knew that Du Danfeng was a lone ranger. He was the only one among the Nine Thearchs who did not have a fixed residence. He did not have any subordinates, disciples, or sects. He was all alone.
It was very strange that Du Danfeng wanted to take a disciple.
"Little girl, are you willing to be my disciple?" Du Danfeng ignored Dongfang Yilang, and asked Cheng Ruoling plainly.
"Old man, if I become your disciple, does that mean I don't have to marry Dongfang Jie?" Cheng Ruoling's eyes flickered as she asked.
"Of course!" Du Danfeng chuckled. He glanced at Dongfang Jie and said without any scruples, "How can my disciple marry a trash?"
"You …" Dongfang Jie's face sank when he was called trash. He opened his mouth but did not dare to say anything else.
"Good! Then I will be your disciple! " Cheng Ruoling thought for a moment and walked to Du Danfeng's side. She knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a clear voice, "Teacher, please accept this disciple's kowtow."
"Good, good, good." Du Danfeng chuckled and helped Cheng Ruoling up. He said, "From now on, you are Old Freak Du's only personal disciple. If anyone dares to threaten you, this old man will not let them off! "
As he spoke, Du Danfeng's eyes glanced at Dongfang Yilang. His words were clearly meant for the latter.
Cheng Jue and Mou Xianglong were dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on.
Du Danfeng looked at Mou Xianglong and said, "Lord Cold Emperor, do you have any objections to the little girl taking me as her master?"
"No objections. Of course, I have no objections." Mou Xianglong immediately reacted and said, "It is Ling 'er's fortune to have Lord Poison Emperor as her master."
"Thank you, Lord Poison Emperor." Cheng Jue also reacted and bowed.
Du Danfeng let out a strange laugh and glanced at Nie Tian. Then, he said with a chuckle, "It's just that this old man is a generation younger than someone for no reason."
"Lord Poison Emperor, you must be joking." Nie Tian shook his head. Even if the Poison Emperor was indeed a generation younger than him, he could not really treat him as a junior.
"Old Poison, that means you're one generation younger than me." Long Aotian laughed and said with a proud look on his face.
Another Nine Emperors had become his junior. Long Aotian was happy just thinking about it.
