Chapter 1061 1061 Jun Xiaoyao Takes a Stand
In the void, two figures appeared — one male, one female.
Naturally, it was Shenle and Jun Xiaoyao.
Earlier, Shenle had already passed word to the Yixie clan about Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.
That was why the elders of the Yixie clan, including Huangquan, had come out to welcome them.
Jun Xiaoyao was now at the height of his power in the foreign realm, with a future that knew no bounds.
Even the Yixie clan would not dare show the slightest disrespect.
Jun Xiaoyao was clad in white robes purer than snow, with an immortal bearing and jade-like grace, refined and timeless.
Chaotic mist swirled around him, a faint radiance flickering within, his aura mysterious and unfathomably deep.
The entire wedding banquet fell silent.
"That's Shenle of the Yixie clan, and… the War God!"
"Is that really the Chaos Physique? He actually came!"
"Goodness, this is my first time seeing the Chaos Physique in person — truly transcendent!"
Jun Xiaoyao's appearance had undoubtedly stunned everyone present.
After all, the Chaotic Demon Sea and the Ten Great Territories of the foreign realm were still somewhat separated from each other.
They hadn't expected the legendary Chaos War God of the Ten Great Territories to come to the Chaotic Demon Sea and attend this wedding banquet.
"Lord Xiaoyao!"
Huangquan's gaze locked onto Jun Xiaoyao like iron drawn to a magnet.
A gentleman like jade, his robes surpassing snow in whiteness!
It would have been one thing if he merely possessed such an otherworldly aura and appearance.
But his strength also reigned supreme in the current age.
The reason Huangquan admired Jun Xiaoyao so deeply was not simply because of his looks.
She had heard that in the Borderlands, Jun Xiaoyao had withstood a single strike from an Immortal Realm Emperor while at the Supreme realm.
That was something few could ever accomplish — a feat that had shaken the world throughout all of history.
In Huangquan's heart, Jun Xiaoyao was a hero who transcended his era, standing above every other genius.
"Is this your cousin?"
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Huangquan and said to Shenle.
"Indeed. What do you think — does she catch the eye of the First King?" Shenle said with a smile.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly but said nothing.
He had noticed the look of admiration on Huangquan's face.
He was used to it by now.
From beautiful older women who had lived through several epochs, to young girls who might be barely of age.
There were few women who could resist his charm.
"Haha, the arrival of Young Master Xiaoyao truly brings glory to our Yixie clan!" the Fifth Elder laughed heartily.
He hadn't expected Shenle to actually bring Jun Xiaoyao here.
With this, today's wedding might just take a turn.
"Young friend, you are now renowned throughout our realm. Withstanding a strike from an Immortal Realm Emperor at the Supreme realm — even this old one was utterly astonished."
The Grand Elder of the Yixie clan, the elderly woman, also smiled faintly.
Upon seeing how close Shenle and Jun Xiaoyao were, her smile deepened.
Jun Xiaoyao possessed the Chaos Physique and was the First King, and had also made a remarkable showing in the Borderlands.
His future was truly without limit.
If he could become the Yixie clan's son-in-law,
wouldn't the Yixie clan then have two world-ending kings?
At that point, the Yixie clan would likely become the most powerful imperial clan beneath the ultimate imperial clans.
It was precisely for this reason that they had come out to welcome him, treating Jun Xiaoyao with the utmost warmth.
In stark contrast to the Yixie clan's attitude was that of the Yaqi Imperial Clan.
Every one of them wore expressions of extreme awkwardness.
And Naraku's grandfather wore a face as cold and hard as stone, a surge of fury brewing within him.
It turned out the Yixie clan's grand reception was not for them at all — it was for Jun Xiaoyao.
The smile at the corner of Naraku's lips stiffened as well.
It seemed he had been reading too much into things.
Huangquan had never given him a second thought.
"Chaos Physique…"
A shadow of darkness flickered in Naraku's eyes as he looked toward Jun Xiaoyao.
The void around Jun Xiaoyao rippled, as though it could barely contain the aura he kept hidden.
A look of grave solemnity deepened in Naraku's eyes.
He had heard of Jun Xiaoyao's deeds as well.
One could say their reputations were polar opposites — two extremes.
One was a prodigy who had shaken the entire foreign realm; the other was a good-for-nothing young lord who had been mocked and ridiculed endlessly.
Sensing Naraku's gaze, Jun Xiaoyao glanced over with an indifferent look.
"Interesting…" Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
His soul perception could tell that Naraku appeared to have not a trace of a cultivator's aura.
Yet deep within him, there was a faint but staggering presence.
It simply hadn't leaked out yet.
"Could it really be as I suspected — that he is also one of the Six World-Ending Kings?"
Jun Xiaoyao mused.
It was similar to Yun Xiaohei before, who had concealed within him the power of the Ten-Tailed World-Ending Black Fox.
Regardless, Jun Xiaoyao paid Naraku no mind.
With Jun Xiaoyao's arrival,
the atmosphere of the entire wedding banquet had undeniably reached its peak.
This made many people unable to help but wonder —
who was truly the main character of this wedding banquet, Naraku or Jun Xiaoyao?
"Why do I get the feeling that the one marrying Huangquan is the War God, Jun Xiaoyao?"
"Exactly, I feel the same way. That good-for-nothing young lord Naraku is nothing but a joke."
Some of those present exchanged whispers through their divine senses.
Naraku clenched his fists tightly, his face turning pale with fury.
But he held himself back.
Once the seal within him was lifted, he would make everyone eat their words — including Jun Xiaoyao.
The wedding banquet continued.
With the arrival of the young couple from both imperial clans, the wedding ceremony was about to begin.
Yet Huangquan's gaze remained fixed on Jun Xiaoyao the entire time.
This made Naraku's expression grow increasingly dark.
Could there be anything more humiliating than this?
Without a word being said, Naraku had developed a deep hostility toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, couldn't care less.
Even if Naraku was one of the Six World-Ending Kings, it made no difference to him.
If trouble came looking, he'd simply suppress it.
Then the wedding ceremony began.
Huangquan bit her red lips and called out in a clear, firm voice.
"I, Huangquan, will not marry Naraku, the young lord of the Yaqi Imperial Clan!"
Huangquan had always been opposed to marrying Naraku.
Now that she had seen Jun Xiaoyao, there was even less chance she would ever look at Naraku.
To put it bluntly, Naraku was nothing but dirt on the side of the road.
Huangquan's words brought the clamorous atmosphere to a complete standstill.
Yet the guests showed no look of surprise.
They had long anticipated that this wedding banquet would not go smoothly.
They had come precisely to watch the show.
Many eyes lit up with amusement as they turned toward the Yaqi Imperial Clan and the Zhujuyin lineage.
"Huangquan, what are you saying?"
The veins on Naraku's forehead bulged as he clenched his fists.
By saying this so openly in front of everyone, wasn't Huangquan slapping him and the Yaqi Imperial Clan in the face?
"Yixie clan, you are going back on your word!"
Naraku's grandfather's face turned iron-grey with rage as he bellowed.
On the Yixie clan's side, the Fifth Elder stepped forward with a calm expression. "This marriage was never appropriate to begin with. It was a mistake."
"Quite a mistake indeed."
At that moment, from the side of the Zhujuyin lineage,
Zhu Huang stepped forward.
His elder brother had once instructed him to build a good relationship with Naraku.
Now was his moment to step up.
"As expected…"
Seeing the Zhujuyin lineage speak up, the guests from the other clans all broke into expressions of eager anticipation.
How would the Yixie clan handle this?
"Going back on one's word is never a good thing for the Yixie clan," Zhu Huang said lightly, his gaze falling on Huangquan.
As the supreme undying imperial clan of the Chaotic Demon Sea, they had no fear of the Yixie clan.
Zhu Huang's gaze bore down on Huangquan with immense pressure, draining the color from her lightly powdered cheeks.
The pressure from the Zhujuyin lineage was truly overwhelming.
And just then, a warm and composed voice slowly rang out.
"I, for one, believe that everyone has the right to choose their own companion. A forced union bears no sweetness — would it not be better to take a step back and let the skies open wide?"
At those words, everyone turned as one toward the source of the voice.
It was Jun Xiaoyao.
