Gao Fengzhu angrily said, "This is outrageous!"

"Sect Leader, are we just going to let him provoke us like this?"

Pei Tianming's expression was also unpleasant, but he couldn't say anything. Sikong Ren had won, so he could make demands of Qi Yan.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan immediately became furious, "Master, let me go!"

Qi Yan could accept losing, but he couldn't accept that his master would be humiliated because of him.

Sikong Ren looked at Zhong Changyuan and his apprentice with a smug expression, seemingly waiting for their reaction.

The people around them started whispering among themselves.

Although Sikong Ren's request was somewhat excessive, it was not morally wrong.

Even if Qi Yanzhen were to say that Zhong Changyuan was a defeated opponent of Sikong Ren.

The outside world doesn't really believe that Zhong Changyuan is no match for Sikong Ren.

But... losing face is definitely a given.

Everyone agreed that Zhong Changyuan and Sikong Ren were evenly matched in strength.

Zhong Changyuan's apprentice said that, and morale plummeted.

Zhong Changyuan held Qi Yan down, preventing him from acting impulsively.

"Why should the Demon Lord bother with a junior?"

Sikong Ren shrugged. "You think you can make demands just because you win? Isn't that the rule of your cultivation world?"

"In your cultivation world, I abide by your rules, how is that being petty?"

Zhong Changyuan pursed his thin lips, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Pei Zhi abruptly stood up.

Gao Shijie was originally huddled together with Pei Zhi watching the commotion when Pei Zhi moved, and Gao Shijie bumped into Gao Fengzhu.

Gao Feng frowned and glared fiercely at his good-for-nothing son.

Gao Shijie quickly shrank back, about to ask Pei Zhi what was wrong with her.

Then, Pei Zhi flew to Zhong Changyuan's side.

Pei Zhi said loudly, "Since the Demon Lord likes to act according to the rules of the cultivation world so much, then I am willing to challenge the Demon Lord."

Pei Tianming said angrily, "Pei Zhi."

“Pei Zhi,” Zhong Changyuan called out sternly.

Pei Zhi stepped forward because she knew that Zhong Changyuan was already angry.

If she hadn't stepped forward, Zhong Changyuan would probably have drawn his sword against Sikong Ren in the next second.

Pei Zhi did not want the relationship between Zhong Changyuan and Sikong Ren to deteriorate, as it would not be good for world peace.

Sikong Ren raised an eyebrow: "You're here to challenge me?"

Pei Zhi provocatively asked, "What, Demon Lord, are you afraid to accept the challenge?"

Sikong Ren frankly admitted, "I really dare not."

Sikong Ren's retort of "I dare not" left the onlookers utterly astonished.

"So..." Sikong Ren bowed to Pei Zhi with a smile and said, "I concede defeat. Are you satisfied?"

The crowd gasped in disbelief. Sikong Ren had actually admitted defeat?

Who is Sikong Ren? The supreme ruler of the demon realm, how could he bow and admit defeat to a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator in front of so many people?

Pei Zhi raised her lips: "Fine, then my condition is that you can't make demands of my senior brother."

Sikong Ren said indulgently, "Whatever you say goes."

Pei Tianming also flew onto the stage, "Now that the competition is over, I have some good news to tell everyone."

"The Demon Lord Sikong Ren asked me for Pei Zhi's hand in marriage. After discussing with the sect leaders of several sects, I agreed to the marriage."

Although, everyone in the sect had heard about it.

But when the news came from the sect leader, it was different.

Zhong Changyuan helped Qi Yan off the stage. Upon hearing this, his back stiffened slightly. He turned to look at Sikong Ren's smiling face, a smile that was truly irritating.

Sikong Ren stood on the stage and reached out his hand to Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi paused for a moment, then placed her hand in Sikong Ren's hand.

"Sikong Ren swore once again that as long as I live, I will not let Pei Zhi suffer any injustice."

Pei Tianming was quite pleased with what he heard.

After a moment of hesitation, the audience began to applaud.

The sect leader agrees, and the sect leaders of several sects also agree. They should just offer their blessings.

Below the stage, Qi Yan said dejectedly, "Master, I'm sorry, I've disgraced you."

Zhong Changyuan gently comforted him: "What's there to be ashamed of? When you reach his age, your cultivation will definitely surpass his current level."

Qi Yan looked up at the stage: "Master, do you think Junior Sister is truly willing to marry the Demon Lord?"

Zhong Changyuan frowned slightly, "You like Pei Zhi that much?"

Qi Yan thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, this disciple just doesn't want his junior sister to do things she doesn't want to do."

"This disciple hopes that my junior sister can marry someone she truly loves."

Zhong Changyuan calmly reminded Qi Yan, "Her marriage to Sikong Ren will benefit both realms."

These words seemed to be a reminder to Qi Yan, and also to Zhong Changyuan himself.

"But how old is my junior sister? Why should such a heavy responsibility be placed on her shoulders?"

After Qi Yan finished speaking, he apologized, "Master, it was my fault for being so talkative."

Zhong Changyuan didn't say much: "Let's go, I'll take you back to heal your wounds."

The news that the cultivation world was going to form a marriage alliance with the demon world caused a sensation.

The daughter of the Tianyuan Sect leader actually married the Demon Lord Sikong Ren?

After this, the demon realm and the cultivation world will truly become inseparable, won't they?

In the Demon Realm, the Imperial Advisor paced anxiously back and forth: "Demon Lord, what should we do?"

Wan Kui said casually, "It's just marrying off a daughter, why make such a fuss?"

The Imperial Advisor quickly explained, "This is no ordinary woman; she's Sect Leader Pei's daughter!"

"Daughter?" Wan Kui scoffed. "Look at how many daughters I have. Do I even remember?"

“Pei Tianming is different; he only has one daughter.”

Wan Kui couldn't stand listening to this anymore. "Alright, alright, I think it's nothing more than the cultivation world losing its backbone and using women to beg for peace."

"Demon Lord, this woman is Zhong Changyuan's disciple."

"What?" Wan Kui slammed his hand on the table. "Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Such important news!"

The disciple of Zhong Changyuan, the number one cultivator in the cultivation world, is getting married to Sikong Ren, the demon lord of the demon realm.

Doesn't this mean that Zhong Changyuan and Sikong Ren have reconciled?

The Imperial Advisor said anxiously, "From now on, won't Sikong Ren have to call Zhong Changyuan 'Master' too?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Kui chuckled, "I wonder if Sikong Ren, with his dog-like temper, can tolerate this grievance."

The Imperial Advisor was frantic to see the Demon Lord and still managed to smile.

"Demon Lord, if the cultivation world and the demon world become closely connected... wouldn't our demon world be in danger?"

The demon realm and the cultivation realm are mortal enemies. Although they haven't gone to war in recent years, they've been making many underhanded moves.

Both factions knew that they would eventually have to fight to the death.

Wan Kui remained completely unfazed: "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think the demon realm would help the cultivation realm attack the demon realm?"

"Demon Lord, I've heard that this woman has completely bewitched Sikong Ren. We must be on guard!"

"Oh?" Wan Kui became interested.

Wan Kui and Sikong Ren have clashed quite a few times over the years, and Sikong Ren is someone who looks down on everyone.

Could it be that he could really fall for a woman?

Just how charming is this woman?

Wan Kui stroked his chin thoughtfully. Zhong Changyuan's disciple, Sikong Ren's fiancée, interesting, very interesting.
