Chapter 2169
When such a gossipy question was asked, the entire room, where people were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, fell silent. Of course, it was just silence; no one turned to look.
Of course, every single one of them had already used their auditory secrets or supernatural abilities to monitor Chen Xuan's response.
Upon hearing this, Shengzi Fusheng pulled Huangquan Junior Sister aside, winked at her, and then looked at Chen Xuan apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen Xuan, my junior sister is just a cowherd in the mortal world. She injured her head when she was young, so please don't be so formal."
"Senior brother, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever herded cattle?" Huang Quan immediately retorted.
Upon hearing this, Fusheng wanted to draw his forty-meter-long broadsword and chop his junior sister in half. Didn't he hear that there was no sound around?
A bunch of guys are probably eavesdropping on this conversation.
"Oh, fine, don't ask then. Why are you being so fierce?" Huang Quan was reminded by his senior brother and realized that the atmosphere around him was not right. He then returned to his seat with dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Brother Chen Xuan, my junior sister is mentally challenged, abnormal, a martial arts fanatic. Please don't take offense."
Chen Xuan simply smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sheng awkwardly returned to his seat, while Dao Yi, Xuan Yi, the Zi Qing sisters, and others all showed expressions of disappointment upon seeing the result.
However, at that moment, a cold snort rang out, it was Xia Jiuyou.
"Is it a trivial matter?" Xia Jiuyou slowly stood up. At this moment, her eyes were sharp, and if it weren't for the veil covering her face, her expression would definitely be frightening. "Brother Chen Xuan, just how trivial is it?"
Chen Xuan turned to look at Xia Jiuyou, who had already stood up. He gave her a knowing, flirtatious look, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Such small things as eating and sleeping?"
Eating, sleeping...?
The words entered her mind, instantly triggering Xia Jiuyou's past humiliating memories.
"Chen Xuan, you...you...dare to step onto the stage and spar with me!" Xia Jiuyou shouted sternly. As soon as she finished speaking, two immortal-grade divine swords appeared in her hand. With a flash of white light, she appeared directly in the center of the square, raising her hand and pointing her swords at Chen Xuan.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Just as Qingxia was about to say something to smooth things over, she was interrupted by the furious Qiu Zixian and Lu Xueqi.
Seeing that someone was actually provoking their husband in this situation, the two women immediately stood up and glared at Xia Jiuyou, who was coming down with his sword, and shouted, "Insolence!"
"Xia Jiuyou, with your strength, you are not qualified to challenge my husband Chen Xuan." Seeing that Chen Xuan did not stop her, Qiu Zixian immediately took a step forward, and her body flashed and appeared directly in the square. With a wave of her hand, a ferocious divine whip and a divine sword covered in black mist appeared in her hand.
"Your opponent today is me," Qiu Zixian said in a low voice, pointing her sword at Xia Jiuyou.
Seeing Qiu Zixian appear first, Lu Xueqi immediately turned her unfriendly gaze to Han Jiuling, who was also from the Nine Nether Holy Land, her challenge undisguised.
However, the once incredibly arrogant Han Jiuling seemed quite indifferent to this. He smiled, shrugged, and said to Lu Xueqi, "Junior Sister Xueqi, I have no involvement in such personal grudges."
"Xueqi." Chen Xuan glanced at Lu Xueqi, smiled, and nodded, gesturing for her to sit down.
Lu Xueqi glanced at Xia Jiuyou in the arena, gave a soft snort, and then sat down again.
This scene evoked mixed feelings of delight and worry among the sisters of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion. They were delighted that Qiu Zixian was fighting in such a manner, but worried that Xia Jiuyou, after all, was the true body, and whether her primordial spirit avatar could defeat the true body. They were all very concerned.
"Chen Xuan, do you only dare to let women stand in front of you? What does our feud have to do with her?" Xia Jiuyou ignored Qiu Zixian and turned to question Chen Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan slowly stood up, looked at Xia Jiuyou in the arena, and after thinking for a moment, said, "If Zixian fights, then it is considered that I have fought. If she loses, then it is considered that I have lost. I will accept any punishment."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, the various holy sons and daughters, who were used to watching the show, all gasped in astonishment.
In fact, after Qiu Zixian fought Xia Jiuyou in the ranking battle a thousand years ago, the first-class holy sons and daughters looked down on her, after all, Qiu Zixian suffered a crushing defeat in that battle.
A thousand years have passed, and Xia Jiuyou has not been idle. Instead, he has devoted himself to seclusion and cultivation. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he took the position of the number one young person in the Jiuyou Holy Land, and even Han Jiuling was completely subdued.
Therefore, it can be seen that Xia Jiuyou, a thousand years later, should be able to rank among the top five of the younger generation of the eight holy lands.
Now, Chen Xuan actually values his former defeated opponent so highly?
Dao Yi, Tian Mang, Huang Quan, Xuan Ye, Qing Xia, and others were all somewhat puzzled, squinting at Qiu Zixian, who stood proudly in the arena.
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Xia Jiuyou had no choice but to re-evaluate Qiu Zixian. "She was once just a fragment of my primordial spirit, a defeated opponent. I never imagined that in less than a thousand years, she would be valued so highly. How interesting."
After Xia Jiuyou finished speaking, she looked at Chen Xuan and said in a sharp tone, "If she bows, I want you to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and sign a master-servant contract for ten thousand years. Do you dare?"
The moment this bet was announced, everyone's expression changed. The key point was that they had to make a heavenly oath now, which meant that if Qiu Zixian truly lost, Chen Xuan wouldn't be able to deny it.
"You're courting death." Qiu Zixian's eyes flashed with even more killing intent as she shouted at Xia Jiuyou, "If you are defeated, I will make you disintegrate your soul and offer up your physical body."
As soon as Qiu Zixian said this, there was another gasp of surprise from the audience.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly out of control, the Ziqing sisters also looked rather grim. Such an agreement would be a disaster no matter which side lost.
Xia Jiuyou is now the next successor of the Nine Nether Holy Land. If he dies, it will immediately trigger a conflict between the holy lands, since he will die in the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
If Qiu Zixian is defeated, Chen Xuan will have to follow the oath of Heaven and serve Xia Jiuyou as a slave for ten thousand years. What a humiliation this is for the Jueqing Holy Land.
It should be noted that Chen Xuan's master, the Star-Gazing Immortal, is already in seclusion, breaking through to the next level. Once he becomes an Immortal King, the Heartless Holy Land will truly have two Immortal Kings in charge. Immortal Kings' personal disciples will be enslaved and driven by them for ten thousand years. This could very well lead to a major war at the Holy Land level.
"Everyone..."
Qingxia, Daoyi, Tianmang, and the others also sensed that something was wrong and immediately tried to smooth things over.
However, Chen Xuan merely raised his hand to interrupt everyone's words. He then looked at the confident Xia Jiuyou and smiled slightly, "I accept your punishment. But if you lose, I will make you unconditionally obey my orders if you see me within a hundred years. Do you dare to agree?"
“Xuan…” Qiu Zixian immediately looked at Chen Xuan with displeasure upon hearing this, as she knew all too well her husband’s strength.
Chen Xuan simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Alright, I promise you!" Xia Jiuyou obtained most of a bottle of "Innate Creation Elixir" within the Devouring Demon Star Void. With this treasure, she cultivated the "Thousand Yuan Sacred Scripture," a legacy of an ancient immortal, to a minor level. She was confident that with this strength, no one below the level of a first-class true immortal could rival her.
“If that’s the case…” Chen Xuan’s eyes were solemn as he slowly raised his right hand.
"A vow to Heaven." Upon hearing this, Xia Jiuyou slowly raised his right hand.
"I, Chen Xuan (Xia Jiuyou), swear by the Heavenly Dao..."
