Youyou glanced at the Nine Heavens Emperor for no apparent reason, noticing a glint in his eyes and his occasional glances at Hong Fei, which seemed to carry a hint of... panic?
Hong Fei seemed to have anticipated this situation. Her expression darkened slightly before she said loudly, "I only form alliances with Daoist partners and do not speak of marriage. I will take in a few husbands, but you... are not good enough to be my husband."
The male immortal's face immediately darkened, as if he had been insulted. He then continued, "Since that's the case, then I request to marry the two female immortals of the Seventh Heaven, Zong Xiang and Tang Xue. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked at him in shock. He actually dared to propose to two female immortals at once, and in front of the Seventh Emperor. This was clearly not sincere, but a deliberate provocation.
Since the Eighth Heaven Emperor's cultivation was crippled, Hong Fei took over the Eighth Heaven. A place that could produce such an emperor naturally had immortals who weren't exactly obedient. They had caused quite a bit of trouble over the years, but Hong Fei had suppressed them all. However, her energy was limited, and during her centuries-long slumber, Ming Ye had wreaked havoc on the Seventh Heaven, so she naturally devoted more of her energy to the Seventh Heaven.
I just didn't expect that these people would choose to launch their attack during the Gan Sheng Dharma Assembly!
"The Emperor wouldn't refuse, would he?" The male immortal's eyes were full of calculation when she didn't reply. "But I've heard that decades ago, the Emperor had planned to send two of his female immortal maids to the Seventh Heaven's Immortal Lord Wengli as concubines. Although it didn't work out because the female immortals died unexpectedly, I am of the same rank and cultivation level as that Immortal Lord Wengli, and I am also from the Eighth Heaven. The Emperor should be pleased!"
After he finished speaking, the entire floating island was in an uproar, as if they could not believe that such a thing could happen. Some people even asked the immortals of the Eighth Heaven whether it was true or not.
Hong Fei's face grew increasingly grim, and her hands clenched tightly, her fingers turning white, as if she were desperately trying to restrain herself.
Youyou's heart sank, and she instantly realized that the male immortal was referring to what the demon immortal had done when he possessed Hongfei.
Regarding Mingye, Hongfei did not spread the whole truth. The immortals only knew that he had perished, but only some of the female immortals in the Seventh Heaven knew about Hongfei's possession.
After all, Mingye is a demon. If word gets out that he used formations to refine his spirit, someone might be so heartless as to imitate him, since that's an opportunity to become a god. Spreading the truth will only bring endless trouble, putting the already severely injured Seventh Heaven in even greater danger.
And because what the other party said was indeed true. Mingye had indeed done such a thing in order to control the Seven Heavens, and Hongfei had also personally witnessed the two female immortals being sent into the God Refining Array because they refused, leaving only two wisps of their souls.
Hong Fei's silence deepened the suspicions of the immortals below, and the discussions grew louder. Ming Ye had occupied the Seventh Heaven for so many years; the Middle and Lower Heavens were fine, but the Eighth Heaven immortals naturally noticed something was amiss. Now that someone had stepped forward, those Eighth Heaven immortals who were already dissatisfied with Hong Fei began to stir, even joining in support of Bei Liang.
The emperors present who knew the truth were about to speak up and stop them, but the Ninth Emperor spoke first.
"Shut up!" the Nine Heavens Emperor said with a hint of anger. "Women in this world are noble, let alone female immortals. How could Emperor Hongfei allow such a thing to happen? Stop talking nonsense! Moreover, your wish is too absurd. This wish doesn't count. Now hurry up and..."
“Fine!” Before he could finish speaking, Hong Fei suddenly spoke up, closed her eyes to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart, and slowly stood up. “Since you dare to come to the Questioning Platform, then everything you say is an oath to the Heavenly Dao. This Immortal Lord must be prepared to accept the test.”
"Of course." The other party nodded, looking confident of victory. "Your Majesty, just set up the test. Not only me, but many immortals in the Eighth Heaven want to win the heart of a beauty!"
"Very well!" Hong Fei flashed and instantly appeared on the Questioning Platform. She looked directly at the other party and said, word by word, "If you want me to agree to your request, it's very simple: defeat the weapon in my hand! As long as I live, I, a female immortal of the Seventh Heaven, will not tolerate anyone's slander!"
The male immortal's expression changed, seemingly not expecting Hong Fei to personally attack him. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty's cultivation is profound. Are you not afraid that the immortals will laugh at you for being unfair by putting me to such a test?"
"Is this your first day as an immortal? Anyone who dares to insult a female immortal under my tutelage, I always deal with personally." Hong Fei sneered, glancing at the few people around her with strange expressions, and continued, "Anyone who shares his thoughts can come at me! I'll gladly accept their offer!"
"This is what the Emperor said!" The male immortal was overjoyed and immediately gave a look to the people below. The next moment, six more immortal lords flew up, each with considerable cultivation. "We heard that the Emperor was seriously injured in the previous battle and has not yet recovered, but there is no room for reneging on the Questioning Platform. We have no choice but to offend him."
The immortals watching below then realized that the other party clearly knew that the Seventh Emperor was seriously injured, and that was why he deliberately made such a request at this moment.
Hong Fei, of course, also saw it and recognized that they were all immortals of the eighth level of heaven, but her expression remained unchanged. She coldly glanced at the group in front of her and said, "Life and death will determine the victor!"
"What?!" The group, who had just been feeling a bit smug, suddenly changed their expressions. They seemed surprised that their opponent, despite being at a disadvantage, would dare to set up a life-or-death situation. Could it be that her injuries had already healed? The group exchanged glances. No way!
They had repeatedly confirmed that Hong Fei was not only seriously injured, but her primordial spirit was also damaged. How could a primordial spirit injury heal so quickly? Moreover, there were seven of them, all of whom were second only to the Emperor in cultivation. Even if her primordial spirit wasn't injured, they could still take her down with their combined strength. At that time, not only the Eighth Heaven, but the Seventh Heaven would be theirs.
"Your Majesty, please..." he replied.
Hong Fei raised her hand and summoned her weapon, attacking the group. Instantly, the air crackled with celestial energy, flashes of white light streaking across the field, accompanied by a series of thunderous booms. Though she was indeed still recovering from serious injuries, her movements were surprisingly fluid and powerful. All the onlookers could see was her as a blur, appearing and disappearing among the group, skillfully wielding two… massive hammers!
Youyou: "..."
She really didn't expect that Hong Fei, such a gentle girl, would actually wield two large hammers, and judging from the ethereal aura on the hammers that matched her, these were her destined weapons!
These are truly extraordinary fireworks!
“Hong Fei…” The Nine Heavens Emperor suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the woman wielding the hammer in the arena. He looked as if he had witnessed a miracle, his face full of surprise and his eyes sparkling!
"..." Something's not right with you, bro!
