Chapter 8
Yingning also revealed her identity.
Before the referee could call "start," Wen Chaosheng suddenly walked up to Ying Ning's side.
"Fairy Feng, it's our first meeting. May I ask a question?"
"Please speak, Your Excellency."
"May I ask if the fairy is married, or if she has someone she admires?" Wen Chaosheng asked a strange question right away.
"I have no one I fancy."
Upon hearing Ying Ning's answer, Wen Chaosheng's clear eyes lit up.
"Then, fairy, would you be willing to form a marriage alliance with me?"
In just a few words, the information contained within was like a thunderclap. Wen Chaosheng's words left everyone on the viewing platform speechless with shock.
Although Wen Chaosheng usually acts like a spoiled brat, he is a bit unreliable.
But there's no need to be so abrupt just because you see a female cultivator.
Could it be that this female cultivator was so beautiful that Wen Chaosheng took an instant liking to her and fell in love with her at first sight?
But Fairy Liuyun has already appeared. Which female cultivator will be able to catch people's eye after Xi Liuyun?
Everyone's attention shifted from Wen Chaosheng to Feng Yingning.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed remarkable.
This woman had an ancient mark on her forehead and her hair was as black as ink. Although she was a disciple of the Sword Sect, she wore a fiery red robe. Upon closer inspection, one could see her face.
Her skin was as white as jade, as radiant as the morning glow, and her phoenix eyes were captivating.
This woman's aura was comparable to that of Fairy Liuyun.
None of the sect members had ever seen a female cultivator with such a beautiful appearance, and they all began to inquire about Feng Yingning's identity.
The Elders' Office.
Yun Lin, an elder of Tianjian Cliff, was already furious at Wen Chaosheng's remarks.
Many sect elders watched as his face turned completely red.
"That kid!!!"
"That brat, wait a minute... wait a minute... I'm going to make him go back to the sect and get a hundred lashes!!!" Elder Yun's face was blazing with anger, he was quite annoyed by Wen Chao.
"Elder Yun, this child is all grown up now, it's normal for him to have someone he likes." The Wuji Palace elder standing to the side comforted him, seeing that he was almost fainting from anger.
But I was also happy inside.
It's rare to see Yunlin so angry, but such opportunities are few and far between.
"He has no one he admires! He immediately wants to arrange a marriage with her. Is that what he calls admiration?!" Elder Yun was furious.
"Chao Sheng was just a little impatient."
"He's not in a hurry at all; he's clearly after her looks!!!"
As soon as Elder Yun said that, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Elder Yun, I think Wen Chaosheng's move is not necessarily a bad thing. The marriage between Tianjian Cliff and Sword Sect, and the fact that the two are both sword cultivators, will not harm their cultivation path."
The one who made this joke was an elder of the Beast Taming Sect.
"Go away, go away. Wen Chaosheng is a licentious brat. What does he have to do with that girl?"
Elder Yun immediately refuted him.
*
"Oh? Why?" Yingning glanced at Wen Chaosheng and noticed that although Wen Chaosheng's words were somewhat frivolous, his expression seemed to genuinely suggest that he wanted to form a marriage alliance with her.
Upon closer inspection, his clear eyes only held a faint layer of sincerity, not any deep affection or devotion.
[This person brought up marriage so suddenly, even though it was our first meeting. I wonder what they're up to.]
"Chao Sheng fell in love with the fairy at first sight, which is why he wanted to form a bond with her."
There was no infatuation in his eyes.
He's lying.
"If that's the case, then I have certain requirements for finding a fairy partner."
"It's alright, please speak, fairy."
"The first rule is that you have to beat me first!"
After speaking, the woman in the scarlet dress conjured a blood-red longsword adorned with black obsidian out of thin air.
As soon as Feng Yingning drew her sword, a torrent of blood and demonic energy surged forth.
Everyone was shocked.
This is clearly a sword that has slain countless demons and has thus been tainted with a formidable demonic aura!
Although the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm are both among the Six Realms, their relationship has eased and they often have exchanges.
However, due to the great war a thousand years ago, there has been a considerable estrangement between them.
Just how many demons has this woman slain with her sword?
The sword imbued with demonic energy suddenly appeared during the sect competition, making the spectators even more curious about the identity of the woman in red.
The same goes for the elders.
They had assumed that Feng Yingning was just an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, and had simply made a lighthearted joke about Wen Chaosheng's actions without inquiring about her identity.
But now that I see the sword in her hand, I know that this person is no ordinary disciple.
The sword was thick with blood energy, far beyond what one could acquire from killing just one or two demons.
"Elder Song, who is this person...?" An elder spoke first, asking Song Qinghai of the Sword Sect.
Song Qinghai has a stern face and is the sixth elder of the Sword Sect.
“Feng Yingning is the fifth disciple of Immortal Venerable Li Ziqing of our sect.”
Fifth disciple?
Some of the elders did recall this old story.
"You mean, she's from the Phoenix Clan?" the elder asked.
"Besides the orphans of the Phoenix Clan, who else would have the surname Phoenix?"
The elders were enlightened by Song Qinghai's words. They had only heard the name Feng Yingning and assumed it was surnamed Feng, but they hadn't realized it was Feng from the Feng clan.
“But I remember that this little princess of the Phoenix Clan, wasn’t she an accidental fall into the Demon Cave a few years ago, and her fate is unknown…” another elder brought up this past event.
"That is indeed the case, but just a few days ago, Feng Yingning returned to the Sword Sect."
Yunlin listened clearly from the side.
[Unexpectedly, this little girl actually escaped from that hellhole alive.]
All the elders shared his opinion.
The Demon Cave is a border between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm.
It's not just taboo in the celestial realm; the demon realm often avoids this place as well.
The Demon Cave is located on the edge of the Demon Realm. Any vicious and cruel demons will be banished here by the Demon Realm.
Over thousands of years, this place has evolved into a small world.
After the great war between immortals and demons, the two realms temporarily joined forces to seal this small world.
Although the existence of this demon cave has been sealed, the demons within it continue to be born. To ensure the stability of the seal, the Immortal Realm must send a team every five hundred years to purge the demon cave.
Feng Yingning was one of the disciples in the immortal realm team who was sent to the demon cave last time.
To survive the hellish cave...
What exactly happened...?
With this mindset, the elders of each sect felt inexplicably heavy-hearted as they looked towards the first arena.
*
Wen Chaosheng saw that Yingning was already holding a sword in her right hand.
His dark eyes sparkled with interest, and with a swift movement, the azure gem on his forehead gleamed with a hint of spiritual energy under the light.
"Hahaha, then Chaosheng will come to ask for your advice."
Wen Chaosheng threw down these words and immediately took a few steps back.
A willow-leaf green sword appeared in his hand. His sword was entirely green, with an extremely thin blade, yet the cold light emanating from it was not to be underestimated.
