Chapter 12: I Am Arrogant, I Am Overbearing (Part 2)

This person, who had only joined the Nine Sacred Demon Gate a few days ago, actually dared to say he would destroy the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. This was utter madness. Nan Huairen had initially found Li Qiye to be somewhat unfathomable, but now, he felt Li Qiye was simply ignorant to an outrageous degree!

However, Li Qiye couldn't be bothered to glance at Hall Master Fu, Xu Hui, or anyone of their ilk again. He walked outwards as if strolling through a garden, saying, "No matter who is in charge of your Nine Sacred Demon Gate now! Be it a Demon Emperor or a True Human! Since you want to follow the rules, then you will honestly follow the rules, and I will accompany you. If you don't want to play by the rules, I will accompany you just the same! Today, I am here to slaughter your Nine Sacred Demon Gate and send you all to meet the old chicken head!"

"Good, good, good, ignorant brat. Today, this seat will first rip out your tendons and skin you alive. I'll see how you still plan to destroy my Nine Sacred Demon Gate!" Xu Hui laughed in extreme anger. This was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life. He had truly never encountered someone so ignorantly arrogant before!

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were so ashamed at this moment that they wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves. Li Qiye had never even cultivated any Dao techniques, yet he dared to boast about slaughtering the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. This was too ignorant! The Nine Sacred Demon Gate was currently an incredibly powerful sect in the Central Region, capable of controlling an entire dominion. How many people could possibly destroy them!

However, Li Qiye didn't even listen to Xu Hui's words, nor did he look at him. He continued to walk outwards. Xu Hui was so infuriated by Li Qiye's arrogance that he spat blood and roared, "Little beast, die!" As soon as the words fell, he slashed at Li Qiye with his sword.

"Stop—" Just then, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky above the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. The sound was like rolling thunder, filled with supreme majesty. The thunderous roar was irresistible!

This majestic thunderous roar caused both Xu Hui and Hall Master Fu's legs to go weak, and their hearts trembled.

"Elder—" Hearing this voice, Hall Master Fu shivered. He hadn't expected such a minor matter to alarm an Elder!

"A fair duel. If you are killed, you can only blame your lack of skill!" The voice of an Elder from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate echoed through the sky!

This surprised many disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, and even the mid-to-high-level Hall Masters and Protectors. Such a matter actually alerted the Grand Elder, which meant this was no ordinary affair!

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen's hearts trembled. This was the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Legend had it that the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate was already a True Human! Over the years, the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had interacted with the Nine Sacred Demon Gate countless times, and even the Grand Elder or the Sect Master had personally visited the Nine Sacred Demon Gate.

However, it was difficult for the Elders of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect to meet figures of the Elder level in the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, let alone the Grand Elder or the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor!

The fact that such a matter today had alarmed the chief Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, Elder Yun, indeed held a different significance.

"The matter of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate and the Washing Yan Ancient Sect's marriage alliance is a sect rule," the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate said at this moment, not mentioning Du Yuanguang's affair at all. His voice, like rolling thunder, echoed: "However, the important matter of marriage cannot be treated lightly! If the Washing Yan Ancient Sect wishes to take the successor of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, they must prove they have the strength to do so!"

"The Nine Sacred Demon Gate has finally produced someone who dares to take responsibility." Li Qiye commented calmly on the words of the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. "Of course, if you follow the rules, I will follow the rules as well. Aren't you just wanting to test me? Fine, I'll accompany you! Why wait for a better day than today! Whether I marry the successor of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate is my business, but if someone looks down on me, I won't hesitate to teach them a lesson!" Saying this, he walked outwards!

Li Qiye's words were too arrogant. Even Protector Mo and Nan Huairen wanted to kneel and beg him to stop bragging. If he kept bragging, the lies would burst! At this moment, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it! This was an utter disgrace.

At this moment, Nan Huairen and Protector Mo deeply regretted taking on this task. After the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate had appeared and resolved the commotion regarding Du Yuanguang, anyone else would have seized this opportunity to step down, turn the small matter into nothing, and foster good relations with the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Even if they couldn't marry Li Shuangyan, it wouldn't matter.

However, Li Qiye actually continued to brag about teaching the Nine Sacred Demon Gate a lesson. This was simply seeking death! At this moment, Nan Huairen and Protector Mo both felt Li Qiye was too ignorant and too arrogant!

"Let it be today." The Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate issued his golden decree. After saying this, there was no further sound.

Xu Hui trembled with rage. Li Qiye's arrogance and presumptuousness made him wish he could kill Li Qiye. Li Qiye dared to provoke and belittle him, making him wish he could sever Li Qiye's limbs and make him wish he were dead, but he dared not defy the Grand Elder's golden decree!

"This seat will wait for you! This seat will make you wish you were dead!" Finally, Xu Hui said hatefully and left with his men.

"Ignorant fool!" After Hall Master Fu and the others left with their men, Protector Mo absolutely refused to let Li Qiye leave. At this moment, he disregarded his status as a Protector, dragging Li Qiye back by force.

"Protector Mo, is there a need to be so jumpy?" Li Qiye said helplessly. After being dragged back into the courtyard, he pushed away Protector Mo's hands and spoke.

Protector Mo trembled with anger and glared fiercely at Li Qiye. At this moment, he wished he could give Li Qiye a good beating, but for the sake of the upcoming assessment, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Ignorant thing!" Protector Mo said hatefully. "You are seeking your own death! If you want to die, fine, but don't drag the Washing Yan Ancient Sect down with you!"

"Protector Mo is overthinking it; it's a small matter." Li Qiye said calmly, not taking it seriously at all.

Protector Mo trembled with anger and said hatefully, "You—you—you—" He stammered "you" for a long time, unable to speak. He was so angered by Li Qiye that he couldn't breathe.

Nan Huairen was also speechless. He felt Li Qiye had gone mad. To be so ignorant, so arrogant, it was beyond saving. He even wanted to slap Li Qiye.

"My lord, do you know how powerful the Nine Sacred Demon Gate is now? Many of their Protectors are qualified to be enfeoffed as Kings or Marquises! Not to mention their Elders and the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor. If the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor were to make a move, he could destroy our Washing Yan Ancient Sect with one hand!" Nan Huairen complained.

"Earlier, the Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate resolved Du Yuanguang's issue. You should have taken the opportunity to back down. Whether or not you marry the princess of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate is a small matter. If you could foster good relations with the Elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, it would not only benefit you but also our entire Washing Yan Ancient Sect. You could also achieve a great merit, which would bring you endless benefits throughout your life," the shrewd Nan Huairen analyzed the pros and cons for Li Qiye.

"So what? Matters like this," Li Qiye said placidly, "I prefer to solve them with my fists!"

Of course, Li Qiye couldn't reveal his inner thoughts. If the Nine Sacred Demon Gate didn't act according to the rules, he would use this opportunity to seize the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's foundation. Although he had promised the Nine Sacred Great Sage back then, his descendants were seeking death. He didn't mind using this opportunity to cleanse the Nine Sacred Demon Gate once! He could also make use of all the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's foundations!

Nan Huairen rolled his eyes. He didn't want to speak anymore. He felt he was casting pearls before swine. Such an idiotic Li Qiye, he didn't want to bother with him anymore. Wasting his breath on such an ignorant good-for-nothing.

Nan Huairen inwardly lamented, With just your meager martial skills? Even if you were lucky enough to kill Du Yuanguang, in front of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, it would be insignificant. With your strength, you dare to boast about solving things with your fists?

Nan Huairen felt that after Li Qiye had luckily killed Du Yuanguang, his confidence had inflated uncontrollably. He truly thought he was invincible!

Protector Mo was so angry he was speechless. Finally, he said hatefully, "You will undergo the assessment according to the rules. If you cause any more trouble, you, you, you won't need to return to the Washing Yan Ancient Sect! At that time, no one will be able to save you!"

"If the Nine Sacred Demon Gate isn't safe, then other places are even less safe," Li Qiye said with a leisurely smile.

Protector Mo was so angry he spat blood. He didn't want to talk to such an idiot anymore. Talking to him was like playing the lute to a cow. This kind of idiot wouldn't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is unless he suffered a lesson.

While Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were spitting blood from anger, this assessment was held on a main peak of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. For this assessment, not a single Elder from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate showed their face. Two people from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate came out to preside; both were Protectors. One was Protector Xu, Xu Hui's master, and the other was the most powerful among the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's Protectors, the chief Protector Yu He!

Protector Xu, the master of Xu Hui, exuded a terrifying radiance. His entire being seemed forged from divine metal. As for the chief Protector, he was even more terrifying. His kingly aura surged, and his blood energy was boundless. This was definitely a powerful King or Marquis. At this level, one could truly manipulate the clouds and summon the rain with a flip of their hand!

The Nine Sacred Demon Gate appointed Protector Xu and the chief Protector Yu He as judges, while the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had Protector Mo serve as the judge.

Inside the main peak at this moment, the area was surrounded layer upon layer, packed tightly. Countless young disciples had come to watch and join the fun!

The marriage alliance between the Nine Sacred Demon Gate and the Washing Yan Ancient Sect was naturally opposed the most by the young male disciples. Their backlash was the strongest. Li Shuangyan was the goddess in their hearts, and Li Yanshuang was their Nine Sacred Demon Gate's princess.

Sects like the Washing Yan Ancient Sect were simply not qualified to have a marriage alliance with the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, let alone a useless trash like Li Qiye with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Meridians, and Mortal Fate. Such a person wasn't even fit to carry their Nine Sacred Demon Gate's princess's shoes!
