Jun Wu Xie led Shadowless along the wide path.
Soon, an area with carriages, mounts, and other means of transportation appeared in his sight.
He went forward to tie Shadowless up and walked along the shady path.
Trees lined both sides of the path and streams could be seen in the distance. There were waterfalls and all kinds of strange flowers on the walls of some strange mountains. Spiritual herbs grew in the cracks of the rocks, their roots swaying in the wind.
The path under his feet was paved with purple jade stones, which glowed with a faint purple light.
In the sky, clouds floated and spiritual birds flew across the sky, letting out crisp cries as they cast large shadows on the ground.
He opened his Primeval True Eyes and observed his surroundings.
He saw many hidden ancient runes that contained a suffocating killing intent.
The entire Phantom Pupil Clan was filled with these runes.
However, they were in a silent state, hidden in the mountains and rivers.
These runes formed a gigantic array that covered the entire Phantom Pupil Clan.
Not long after, a mountain peak appeared in his sight.
This mountain peak had been cut off from the top and there was a huge hall built on it. There was a huge square in front of the hall.
At this very moment, all of the guests that had been invited were seated in the plaza.
Jun Wu Xie walked across a stone bridge over a small stream and arrived at the foot of the mountain peak.
There was a flight of stairs made of purple jade stones that led straight to the top of the mountain.
He looked up and walked up the stairs.
…
The square was very lively and the atmosphere was joyous.
The four Guardians of the Phantom Pupil Clan appeared together for the first time.
They were chatting happily with the two elders of the Ancient Phoenix Sect. The Hidden Elder and the elders of the Phantom Pupil Clan were chatting with the higher-ups of the other forces. They were all happy and proud.
Jun Wu Xie's appearance caused the entire place to fall into a short silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him at the same time.
"Wuxie, my friend, come and sit with me!"
The Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect greeted Jun Wu Xie warmly and waved his hand at him.
"Oh, so you are the War Saint's disciple?" One of the elders of the Phantom Pupil Clan said with a fake smile, "Although the War Saint's disciple came uninvited, the Phantom Pupil Clan still welcomes you. My friend, please do not be shy."
"Ai." Guardian Tian Tong of the Charm Pupil Clan sighed and said, "Young Master Jun is indeed a talent. It's a pity that he has lost his cultivation. What a pity."
Jun Wu Xie sat down beside the Sect Leader of the Medicine King Clan. He looked at Guardian Tian Tong and the others and said, "Senior, you're exaggerating. I don't think it's a pity."
"Haha, Young Master Jun is indeed a magnanimous person. Even with such an unfortunate encounter, he still knows how to console himself. That is commendable." The Guardian of the Terrestrial Eye nodded approvingly. Then, he sighed. "Back then, we heard of Young Master Jun's talents and admired you. We wanted to betroth our Holy Maiden to you. Unfortunately, Young Master Jun is having an unlucky year and is no longer worthy of our Holy Maiden. So, Young Master Jun, please don't think too much about this matter. "
As soon as he said this, the guests present had different expressions on their faces.
Those who were hostile towards Jun Wu Xie curled their lips slightly. They were happy to see him being ridiculed in public.
The upper echelons of the Medicine King Sect, the Devil Image Sect, the Spirit Controlling Sect, and the Ice Cloud Building all secretly frowned.
What kind of status did the Guardian of the Phantom Pupil Clan have?
For such a powerful cultivator to ridicule a young man in public, it was against his status and was too degrading!
"Young Master Jun, please don't take it to heart. You know that for a force like ours, we have to consider the future of our clan. The marriage of our Holy Maiden must be of equal social status. " The Guardian of the Qian Eye said as he looked at the Ancient Phoenix Sect's young man who was dressed in a golden red brocade robe. He said, "Ancient Phoenix Sect's Gu Wei, a young genius. Together with our Holy Maiden, they are a match made in heaven."
"Seniors, may I ask who your Holy Maiden is?" Jun Wu Xie looked at them with interest and said loudly, "Senior, you said that you wanted to betroth your Holy Maiden to me. This is strange. How come I have never heard of this before? Furthermore, how does your Holy Maiden look? Is she as pretty as the Yan Family Leader? "
Instantly, the upper echelons of the Phantom Pupil Clan's faces turned black.
Saying such words in public was a little frivolous and disrespectful to their Family Leader.
"Young friend, from what you have said, could it be that you did not know that the Phantom Pupil Clan wanted to betroth their Holy Maiden to you?"
The Sect Leader of the Medicine King Sect asked the obvious, his face full of surprise.
"Indeed, I did not know," Jun Wu Xie shook his head and said, "Perhaps it was the wishful thinking of the seniors of the Phantom Pupil Clan. Fortunately, they did not send anyone to propose marriage. Otherwise, I would not know how to reject them. "
"Young Master Jun, your words are a little arrogant." A woman with a dignified aura looked at him coldly with her purple eyes and said, "Our Holy Maiden is not good enough for you? You actually said that you did not know how to reject them. If someone had proposed marriage to you, you would have been overjoyed, right? Now that you have lost your cultivation and our Holy Maiden is about to marry into the Ancient Phoenix Sect, you know that there is no hope for you. Therefore, you said such words to save your face. You did not know that in the eyes of others, it will only be a joke! "
"Auntie, may I ask who you are?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at the woman who had spoken in a daze.
The woman was so angry that her whole body shook.
Damn it, that despicable brat actually called her auntie?
She looked like she was in her twenties and was only thirty-one years old. She was only one year older than Yan Qing Cheng!
"Little friend, let me introduce you," the Sect Leader of the Medicine King Sect said with a smile, "This is the Vice Family Leader of the Phantom Pupil Clan, Yan Yu."
"Oh …" Jun Wu Xie dragged his voice as he looked at Yan Yu and said, "So it is Vice Family Leader Yan Yu. My apologies for not recognizing you. However, Vice Family Leader has wronged me. I have never said that your Holy Maiden is not good enough for me. "
"Hmph, I would like to hear what you mean."
Yan Yu sneered. This young man had a close relationship with Yan Qing Cheng. She did not like him, let alone a cripple without cultivation.
"Didn't the Guardian say that? Matchmaking is different from free love. It requires a match of equal status. Does your clan have a War Saint? Since there is no such match, how can there be a marriage? "
Everyone was stunned.
The meaning of these words was obvious.
It meant that the Phantom Pupil Clan was not qualified!
This time, not to mention Yan Yu, even the Four Guardians' faces turned gloomy.
How dare a cripple who had lost all his cultivation come here and say that the Charm Pupil Clan was not qualified to do so!
"Hahaha!"
An arrogant laugh broke the short silence.
The young genius of the Ancient Phoenix Sect, Gu Wei, looked at Jun Wu Xie with disdain and said, "Although the War Saint is strong, there is only one of him. Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of a single person who could be considered strong! You come from a small city and have low standards. You do not know that there is always someone better than you. In this world, there are many people who can compete with the War Saint. "
Jun Wu Xie raised his wine cup and took a sip. He looked at Gu Wei with a smile that did not look like a smile.
"Haha, some people like to talk big. They think that they have the War Saint behind them and can bring him out wherever they go." A disciple of the Holy Gate who came with the higher-ups mocked, "It is a pity that no matter how eloquent some people are, the two geniuses of the Ancient Phoenix Sect will be the ones to get the beauty. As for those who argue, I am afraid they can only hug their pillows and cry. Tsk tsk, how sad."
Jun Wu Xie looked at that person and smiled without saying a word.
The person who spoke was at most a core disciple of the Holy Gate.
He did not care about such people. It was a waste of breath to say another word.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Guardian Tian Tong stood up and said, "Young Master Jun has lost his cultivation and the young genius has fallen from his pedestal. Now that he has come to the Phantom Pupil Clan, he is upset about what is about to happen. This is human nature and it is understandable. Next, our clan will complete the last step of the Clan Leader's position. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
Three people walked over slowly from afar.
All three of them were women.
The two women in front walked side by side.
Jun Wu Xie turned his head and looked over. His eyes gradually became gentle.
One of the two women in front of him was Yan Qingcheng.
Her expression was very calm. She held the other woman's hand and walked slowly towards the Clan Guardians.
The one walking side by side with her should be Yan Yuqing.
Yan Yuqing was wearing a purple palace dress with a hairpin on her head. Jade beads were swaying gently. She was dressed very exquisitely and majestically.
Her palace dress was very long and dragged on the ground.
Behind her was a young girl. She was wearing a purple dress and following expressionlessly.
"This is the Saintess Yan Ruyu?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at her with his Primeval True Eyes and guessed her identity.
Half-step Master Realm, second level of the Ancient King Realm.
One had to admit that she was very talented.
Yan Ruyu, just like her name, beauty like jade.
In terms of appearance, she was only slightly inferior to Yan Qingcheng. She was more immature and less mature.
The moment the three women appeared.
Over at the Ancient Phoenix Sect, Gu Yu and Gu Wei's eyes lit up.
Especially Gu Yu.
The moment he saw Yan Qingcheng, his eyes were filled with passion.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Gu Yu. The corner of his eyes twitched as killing intent rose in his heart.
"The Patriarch position is officially handed over."
Guardian Tian Tong's voice was majestic and deep.
Yan Qingcheng and Yan Yuqing, who walked in front of them, turned around at the same time and faced each other.
"Yuqing, the future of the Clan will be in your hands."
Yan Qingcheng said as she took out a purple token and placed it in Yan Yuqing's hand.
"Patriarch …"
Yan Yuqing looked at the Patriarch token and her hand trembled slightly.
At this moment, she felt as heavy as a mountain.
The token in her hand was like a mountain that made it hard for her to breathe.
How could it be so easy to be the Patriarch of a Clan?
It didn't just represent power. It also represented a huge responsibility and suffocating pressure.
Especially when the competition within the Clan was intense. Some ambitious people were eyeing it covetously.
"You can't call me that in the future. You are the Patriarch of my Clan."
Yan Qingcheng smiled faintly. She was born with a seductive bone. Under this smile, many people's eyes were fixed on her.
They only felt that the scenery between Heaven and Earth blurred instantly. There was only that intoxicating smile in front of them. It was deeply imprinted in their hearts and their hearts were about to melt.
"Alright, the Patriarch handover is officially completed." Elder Tian Tong said to Yan Yuqing earnestly, "Yuqing, you have to manage the Clan well in the future. Any decision must be made in consideration of the Clan's overall situation."
"Yuqing will remember the Guardian's teachings."
Yan Yuqing kept the Patriarch token and looked at Yan Qingcheng deeply. Under Yan Yu's jealous gaze, she walked to the throne and sat down slowly.
"Fellow Daoists, thank you for coming." Guardian Tian Tong was full of joy. "Now that the Patriarch handover is completed, I would like to announce a joyous occasion. Our Saintess will be engaged to the Ancient Phoenix Sect's genius, Gu Wei. "
Suddenly, everyone looked at the Ancient Phoenix Sect's people.
Gu Wei stood up slowly and nodded to Yan Ruyu with a smile.
At this moment, Guardian Tian Tong continued, "The so-called blessing of a good thing, besides the marriage between our Saintess and Gu Wei, there is also a marriage made in heaven. The original Patriarch of our Clan …"
"I won't marry!"
Before Guardian Tian Tong could finish, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
The one who spoke was not Yan Qingcheng, but Yan Ruyu.
Her expression was cold and arrogant.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Then, everyone looked at Gu Wei.
The smile on Gu Wei's face froze at this moment. The corner of his mouth twitched violently.
"Ruyu, you're messing around!"
The four Guardians' faces were pale.
"I said, I won't marry!" Yan Ruyu was firm and resolute. Her purple eyes swept across the crowd and paused on Jun Wu Xie's face for a moment. Then, she looked at Gu Wei whose facial muscles were stiff and said, "I, Yan Ruyu, don't need to rely on anyone. With my own ability, I can overlook a region in the future and protect the Clan. Why should I submit myself to others?"
"Shut up!"
Guardian Tian Tong shouted angrily.
Yan Ruyu did not listen to him and kept quiet. She said, "Today, I, Yan Ruyu, will express my attitude in front of all the forces in the world! In the past, you wanted me to submit myself to Jun Wu Xie. Now, you want me to submit myself to Gu Wei! Whether it's Jun Wu Xie or Gu Wei, they're not in my eyes! Even if I, Yan Ruyu, want to marry, I'll only marry the strongest genius in the world. Obviously, they're not! "
"Yan Qingcheng, why don't you discipline your disciple! Bastard, how dare you! "
Guardian Tian Tong was so angry that his beard trembled.
"You can't do whatever you want about the marriage between the Clan. It's not up to you to decide for yourself!"
Guardian Tian Tong said coldly.
"Ruyu, don't say anymore."
Yan Qingcheng held Yan Ruyu's hand and shook her head gently.
"Master, are you really going to accept such an arrangement?"
Yan Ruyu looked at her in disbelief. She knew her master too well. She was not someone who would resign to adversity. Why would she do this now?
"Ruyu, did you see that? Even your master has agreed. She's willing to give up everything for the Clan. But you only care about your own interests. Where do you put the Clan? "
Guardian Tian Tong scolded.
