Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#1411 - Engagement Token

If Jun Wuxie's public assassination of the young talents of those forces was like stabbing them in the back, then Ling Wuse's remarks were like twisting the knife in their wounds.

In front of Jun Wuxie, they could still quibble and distort the truth, but in front of Ling Wuse, they didn't have the courage.

Who is Ling Wuse?

He is the Demon Lord of one of the two Demon Clans, a pivotal figure in the entire Canglan Ancient Star, far beyond the reach of these people.

They could only grit their teeth and bear this heavy loss!

After those people sat down again, they looked at their young talents pinned in the air in a comical posture, and were horrified when they thought of the scene before.

It was too sudden just now, and they were too angry to think about anything else.

Now that they thought about it, how strong was that Jun Wuxie?

He killed nearly two hundred young talents with a mere wave of his hand!

It should be known that although the talents they brought this time were not the strongest in their sects, they were all of the legendary peak talent growth level, and their realm had reached the Semi-Saint Emperor realm, only a step away from the Saint Emperor realm.

People from the Saint Medicine Sect, Martial Ancestor Hall, Water Moon Dynasty, Azure Sea Dynasty, Purple Mansion Dynasty, and other forces had smiles on their faces.

They were very displeased with this kind of behavior of provoking others on their joyous day, and these people deserved such an end.

Of course, they were very clear in their hearts that these young talents dared to do this because they were instigated by someone, and they knew who it was.

"Everyone, a small interlude, just to add to the fun."

Ling Wuse said with a smile, his face full of triumph, which made some people itch with hatred, but they dared not say a word.

At this time, the older generation cultivators of those sects who had lost their young talents had gloomy faces and couldn't help but start transmitting messages to the Talent Kings of the Lingyun Ancient Family, Qingmu Ancient Family, and Illusionary Mirage Swamp.

"Lingyun Saint Son, Qingmu Saint Son, Illusionary Mirage Saint Son, our young talents died tragically because of you, are you just going to watch this happen?"

"Three Saint Sons, please say something! Are you just going to let Jun Wuxie be so smug? Look at his appearance, can you endure this?"

"Although Jun Wuxie is strong, he is definitely not a match for any of the three Saint Sons. Why don't the three Saint Sons take advantage of everyone being here today to directly challenge him, suppress his arrogant arrogance, and make him lose face, to see if he still has the face to continue the engagement ceremony!"

"Everyone, please be calm. Today is not only Jun Wuxie's joyous day, but also the festive day of the Ling family of the Demon Clan. If we launch a challenge, wouldn't that cause animosity between the two major forces? Think before you speak, don't just open your mouth and say whatever comes to mind!"

Lingyun Saint Son responded to them calmly.

Qingmu Saint Son glanced at them indifferently and also transmitted a message, saying: "There will be opportunities to slap his face later, don't panic. Besides, the ranking competition is approaching, even if we want to fight, it won't be today. How can personal grudges involve the sect?"

"Your young talents stood up to target Jun Wuxie, and indeed we authorized it, we don't deny this."

Illusionary Mirage Saint Son also transmitted a message, saying: "It's just that who would have thought that Jun Wuxie would play by unconventional rules and actually commit murder at his own engagement ceremony. We underestimated his heinousness, causing your young talents to die tragically. Please mourn for now, we will definitely avenge you. Whether in the following stages or in the ranking competition, that Jun Wuxie will definitely lose face again and again."

……

At this time, the engagement ceremony was in progress, presided over by two Elder Kings according to the ancestral rituals of the Demon Clan.

Under their guidance, Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu gradually completed the ceremony.

"Now, please exchange engagement tokens, soon-to-be newlyweds!"

This was the last part of the ceremony. Once this part was completed, the entire engagement ceremony today would be complete.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu. They all wanted to see what kind of treasures the Demon Clan would bring out for Ling Qingyu as an engagement token, and even more so, what kind of treasures Jun Wuxie would bring out.

At the same time, many people had a strange expectation in their hearts. Someone had bid for the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion a few days ago. They wondered if it would appear at this engagement ceremony.

Many people were worried that once the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] appeared, it would probably cause the Demon Clan to lose face. Not to mention Jun Wuxie, even the Ling family would be embarrassed.

After all, today Jun Wuxie was engaged to Ling Qingyu, and the Ling family publicly said that he was a son-in-law of great promise and was extremely satisfied with him.

If the engagement token presented by this son-in-law of great promise was not as precious as the gifts sent by those who came to congratulate him, wouldn't that be such a shameful thing?

Under people's tense and expectant attention, Ling Wuse personally held a jade box and walked to Ling Qingyu side by side with his wife, Nan Li Jingwei, and handed the box in his hand to her.

Ling Qingyu didn't know what was inside the box, but she was looking forward to it. What kind of engagement token had her father and mother prepared for her?

No matter what it was, she believed it would be extraordinary!

"Wuxie."

Ling Qingyu, with a charming face and a hint of shyness, held the jade box and gazed at him affectionately, saying: "After receiving Qingyu's engagement token, you will be Qingyu's soon-to-be husband. We have known each other for more than ten years. Although we have been separated more than we have been together, we have finally reached today. Heaven favors lovers. Qingyu is fortunate to marry you as my husband in this life."

As she spoke, she held the jade box and handed it to Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie looked at the jade box in front of him, and then gazed at her with tenderness in his eyes, saying: "You and I have come all the way, it has not been easy. From now on, I will definitely take care of you and cherish you in every possible way, and not betray your deep affection, Qingyu."

He took the jade box from her hand.

"Open it and take a look."

Ling Wuse said with a smile.

Jun Wuxie nodded and opened the box under people's expectant eyes. Suddenly, a dazzling azure light bloomed.

Inside the jade box was a set of inner armor, made of Azure Luan Saint Feathers, flowing with a dreamlike azure light.

"Azure Luan Inner Armor, a Semi-Supreme Saint Armor!"

Many of the guests who came to congratulate exclaimed. The Ling family was really generous. This was not even the formal wedding yet, just the engagement ceremony, and they were willing to take out such a treasure as an engagement token!

Everyone knew that Supreme Saint Weapons were hard to find, and there were very few weapon refiners in the world who could refine Supreme Saint Weapons, so items of Semi-Supreme grade were already extremely precious!

Ling Qingyu's charming face had a satisfied smile. Her father and mother did not disappoint her and took out the Azure Luan Inner Armor as an engagement token.

The Azure Luan Inner Armor had special meaning and symbolism because it was made of Azure Luan Saint Feathers, so the grade was secondary.

"How is it, Wuxie, are you satisfied?"

Ling Wuse asked with a smile. He and his wife, Jingwei, had discussed this engagement token for a long time before choosing it.

At the beginning, they wanted to find a real Supreme Saint Weapon from the treasure vault for their daughter as an engagement token, but considering that the grade of the Supreme Saint Weapon was too high, if Wuxie couldn't take out a Supreme Saint Weapon as a return gift at that time, it would embarrass him. After thinking about it, this Semi-Supreme grade Azure Luan Inner Armor was the most suitable because it had a special meaning.

Their daughter was of the Azure Luan bloodline, and it was the most appropriate choice to use this as an engagement token.

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

Jun Wuxie had a face full of smiles, marveling at the exquisite beauty of the Azure Luan Inner Armor. Every Saint Feather was extremely gorgeous.

Qingyu was of the Azure Luan bloodline, so he was extremely satisfied with such a token, symbolizing his father-in-law and mother-in-law's approval of him. This was telling him that they had entrusted their daughter's life to him.

"Now, please have the man give a return gift!"

The two Elder Kings who presided over the ceremony said loudly.

Jun Wuxie closed the lid of the jade box and put it away.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, hearty laughter rang out from the guest seats, temporarily interrupting the ceremony.

"Today is the joyous day of the engagement of the Dawn Divine King and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan. In this beautiful atmosphere, I have prepared another small gift, just to add icing on the cake for the two soon-to-be newlyweds!"

A young man in azure clothes walked from the seats to the stage. He was tall and handsome, with thick black hair draped behind his head. He took out an exquisite jade box, his face full of gentle smiles.

Qingmu Saint Son!

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him, and also looked at the jade box in his hand. Wasn't it the jade box that contained the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] at the auction at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion a few days ago?

So he was the one who bid for the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure]!

At this moment, everyone's expressions were a little strange.

The [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] auctioned off by the Myriad Treasure Pavilion had finally appeared. Its appearance at the engagement ceremony was both unexpected and expected!

"This Qingmu Saint Son is harboring evil intentions!"

"His choice to present the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] as a congratulatory gift at this time is clearly intended to embarrass the Divine King, and his intentions are vicious!"

"This time, the Divine King is probably really going to lose face…"

"This [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure] is a high-level Ancestral Artifact. Due to its special nature, its value is not weaker than a Semi-Supreme Saint Weapon. Only a Supreme Saint Weapon can stably suppress it, but Supreme Saint Weapons are so hard to find in this world. How many years has the Divine King been in the Upper Realm? He definitely can't take out a Supreme Saint Weapon…"

……

Inside the Holy City of the Demon Clan, those who were watching this engagement ceremony from afar began to discuss, feeling angry about Qingmu Saint Son's actions and sighing for Jun Wuxie.

On the stage, the muscles on Ling Wuse's face twitched slightly, Nan Li Jingwei's face also changed slightly, and the high-level members of the Demon Clan all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Of course, they knew what was inside that box.

How could Qingmu Saint Son have good intentions when choosing to give a gift at this time?

But he was a guest who came to congratulate and offered a gift in public, so the Ling family had no reason to refuse and had to accept it.

"Qingmu Saint Son has spent too much."

Ling Wuse said with a smile, signaling the high-level members beside him to accept the gift.

"Demon Lord, you are too kind. Don't laugh at me, but I actually pursued the Holy Maiden back then, but alas, my love was unrequited. Now that Holy Maiden Qingyu has chosen a good match, I offer this as a congratulatory gift, which is my most sincere blessing to them."

Holy Son Aoki spoke eloquently, appearing magnanimous and broad-minded.

"Holy Son Aoki, matters of the heart cannot be forced. With your outstanding talent as a King, I believe you will surely find a good partner to spend your life with in the future."

Ling Wuse responded in this way. As the head of the Ling family of the Demon Clan and the father of Ling Qingyu, he naturally had to say something pleasant.

"Demon Lord Ling, you flatter me."

Holy Son Aoki smiled, very gentle and refined. His smile was like a spring breeze, easily inspiring goodwill.

At this moment, the higher-ups of the Demon Clan walked down the stage and arrived in front of Holy Son Aoki, taking the jade box from his hand. They were about to put it away and return to the high platform.

Seeing this, the smile on Holy Son Aoki's face became even brighter.

The actions of the Ling family's higher-ups in the Demon Clan proved their nervousness. They didn't dare to open the box in public, obviously afraid that the engagement gift that Jun Wuxie brought out would be crushed, causing them to lose face.

He didn't say anything requesting them to open it, but smiled and remained silent.

At this moment, the powerhouses from the sects who had lost their young talents spoke up, "Holy Son Aoki is offering a congratulatory gift at this time just to add to the occasion. We should open the jade box and let everyone see what treasure it is."

"That's right, the congratulatory gift specially sent by Holy Son Aoki must be extraordinary. We all want to broaden our horizons."

"Holy Son Aoki's demeanor and magnanimity are admirable. Now that he has sent a congratulatory gift, Demon Lord Ling cannot fail to appreciate his sincere blessings, right? You should open it and take a look, shouldn't you?"

… …

Those people spoke one after another, leaving the Demon Clan's higher-up who had received the gift box at a loss, because he felt countless eyes staring at the box in his hand.

Under such circumstances, if he still put the box away directly, he would probably be criticized.

Seeing the expressions of the Demon Clan's higher-ups, many people in the guest seats sneered secretly.

The Lingyun Ancient Family, the Aoki Ancient Family, the Mirage Marsh, the Nebula Sect, the Crimson Flame Dynasty, the Wind Control Dynasty, the Moon Worship Dynasty, and many other forces all showed expressions of watching a good show.

They knew that inside was the [Exquisite Phoenix Treasure]. They all had a share in the cost of bidding for this item, in order to embarrass Jun Wuxie and the Ling family of the Demon Clan at this engagement ceremony.
