Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 921: You Want Second-Hand Goods Too?

"Goodness gracious, who would have thought the Nine Heavens Divine King and the Demonic Flame Sect Master were on such intimate terms..."

Within the square.

A senior at the Ninth Layer of God Honor Realm uttered in astonishment.

"This truly is a hidden matter. I've never come across it earlier. Furthermore, the true identity of the Demonic Flame Sect Master was always concealed. I never dreamed it would surface during this event, and now, spoken by the Nine Heavens Divine King herself, the name Dragon Chan will echo across the entire Sun Ancient Region..."

Another old man rubbed his palms together, grinning as he spoke.

"Dragon Chan—a name full of mystery. Perfectly suits the enigmatic Demonic Flame Sect Master!"

The Ninth Layer God Honor Realm senior gave a thumbs up, openly complimenting.

Nearby onlookers joined in the chorus right then.

Ye Yun observed the scene and smirked.

All these folks were simply buttering up.

Wishing for the Demonic Flame Sect Master to catch their words and grant them some treasure.

…

"Demonic Flame Sect Master, never expected you to be so tight with the Nine Heavens Divine King. You've all deceived us!"

Right then, in the pavilion, Thunderbolt Divine King clutched his wine goblet and grumbled enviously.

"No issue. Our clans have shared friendship for ages... Merely, scarce few in the world are aware!"

A faint smile graced the Demonic Flame Sect Master's lips as he revealed a sliver of the enigma surrounding his bond with the Nine Heavens Divine King.

"Sigh..."

Thunderbolt Divine King let out a helpless sigh.

Childhood friends from allied families.

What more could be said?

Henceforth, encountering the Nine Heavens Divine King, he'd only envy in silence.

"Sister Jiu Ying, with top experts from across the realm assembled, I have a matter to share with you, witnessed by all..."

The Demonic Flame Sect Master glanced around, arching his brows lightly before speaking steadily.

"Speak freely, Brother Dragon Chan..."

Emperor Jiuying replied gravely, setting her wine cup down softly on the table.

"Our clans have long been allies, and our fathers enjoyed a strong bond. In those days, didn't your Di Family owe a debt of gratitude to our Dragon Family?"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master declared.

His statement drew frowns of irritation from numerous God King powerhouses nearby.

During this magnificent gathering, before all these eyes, dredging up ancient history? Total mood killer!

"Do go on, Brother Dragon Chan!"

Emperor Jiuying's brows furrowed faintly, her visage impassive.

Long ago, Dragon Chan's father rescued her own sire, who vowed repayment in kind.

The Di Family would brave any peril to honor any Dragon Family demand.

Over a million years, this oath had faded into oblivion.

Were it not for Dragon Chan's reminder today, Emperor Jiuying might have overlooked it entirely.

"Truth be told, my demand is simple. I merely desire to form Dao companions with Sister Jiu Ying..."

Stated the Demonic Flame Sect Master.

What?!

Dao companions?

His declaration unleashed a tempest within the souls of nearby cultivators.

God King Experts especially burned with righteous fury.

Freshly ascended to God King Realm, the Demonic Flame Sect Master boldly voiced such a brazen demand.

Notwithstanding the ancient vow, proposing it openly seemed utterly humiliating.

"Intriguing..."

Observing the drama, Ye Yun rapped the table lightly, chuckling inwardly.

His gaze shifted to Emperor Jiuying.

Right now, the Nine Heavens Divine King's countenance shifted, fury unspeakable flickering in her eyes.

"Brother Dragon Chan, doesn't your demand overreach?"

Emperor Jiuying's tone chilled to an icy whisper.

"Overreach how? Requesting you as my Dao companion pales beside the debt of your father's life, no?"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master shrugged, grinning casually.

His smile masked a brief glint of iciness in his eyes.

Should the Nine Heavens Divine King refuse, violence seemed imminent.

Emperor Jiuying fell quiet.

Clearly, his words struck her deepest weakness.

"Your Di Family once dominated Divine Land with illustrious fame. You wouldn't renege on your word, would you?"

Exuding assurance, the Demonic Flame Sect Master pressed on persuasively.

Step by step, he cornered her relentlessly.

Evidently, today he aimed to force the Nine Heavens Divine King's compliance before the crowd.

Nearby God Kings all knitted their brows.

Frankly speaking.

They sympathized deeply with the Nine Heavens Divine King now.

Should she reject and sparks fly, they'd side with her.

Tension thickened the atmosphere oppressively.

"Hehe..."

Following prolonged quiet, Emperor Jiuying raised her head abruptly, her lovely features blooming into a radiant grin.

Her bell-like giggles resonated through the emptiness, traveling afar.

The sudden mirth stunned all present.

What's gotten into the Nine Heavens Divine King?

Has madness seized her?

Why the abrupt hysterical laughter?

The Demonic Flame Sect Master squinted, chill creeping into his stare.

"What scheme is Emperor Jiuying plotting?" he sneered inwardly with contempt.

Now a God King himself and a mighty Dragon Clan figure, he felt certain of victory over the Nine Heavens Divine King.

"Brother Dragon Chan, your wish arrives too tardily. Frankly, I already possess a Dao companion!"

Emperor Jiuying laughed lightly.

"What? A Dao companion already? Impossible!"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master's face twisted sharply.

Other God King powerhouses traded stunned glances at the revelation.

Nearly all eyes swung toward Ye Yun.

The Nine Heavens Divine King escorted him to the Three Fire God Cult, their closeness mimicking Dao companions perfectly.

"Eh? Leveraging me as cover?"

Ye Yun's eyes sparkled with secret delight.

Across endless years, first instance of serving as someone's shield.

Quite the novelty.

Were it another, Ye Yun would bow out.

Yet.

Facing a Lotus Demon Dragon.

One poised to turn traitor against the Dragon Clan.

Ye Yun was duty-bound to handle it.

Still, prior to striking, posing as Emperor Jiuying's shield suited him fine.

"Brother Dragon Chan, meet my Dao companion, Long Yunzi!"

Emperor Jiuying softened her stance suddenly, looping her lithe arm around Ye Yun's, beaming with warmth.

The Demonic Flame Sect Master's visage darkened to ashen.

After endless scheming across years, his scheme crumbled unexpectedly.

How had Emperor Jiuying pierced his intentions?

"Brother Dragon Chan, the Di Family honors its pledges. Since I have a Dao companion, how about I assist in finding you one instead? Thoughts?"

Emperor Jiuying beamed.

Now, the once defensive woman seized the initiative.

"This fellow's merely Fourth Layer God Respect State—how dare he match Sister Jiu Ying?"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master growled through clenched teeth.

Ere Emperor Jiuying replied, Ye Yun chuckled, "Matters of affection defy scales. When passion ignites, even a lowly wanderer like me can melt a frosty beauty!"

Though "lowly wanderer" puzzled some attendees.

The crowd fully comprehended Ye Yun's intent.

Emperor Jiuying tittered.

Her stunning eyes danced with odd gleams repeatedly.

Emperor Jiuying never foresaw a spur-of-moment White Clad Sword Cultivator bold enough to confront a God King Demonic Flame Sect Master.

Utterly remarkable.

In all Divine Land, no God Venerable had ever dared such a feat.

"Sister Jiu Ying, he's but Divine Honorable Realm—utterly unfit for you. Ditch him, and unite as Dao companions with me!"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master inhaled deeply, imploring sincerely.

Ye Yun's features betrayed surprise at those words.

Craving even pre-owned wares?

This Demonic Flame Sect Master lacked all dignity, huh?

"I'll never forsake him!"

Emperor Jiuying's expression soured, declaring firmly.

"Fine then, I'll aid you by slaying him. Dao companionless, you'll honor your vow!"

Coldness filled the Demonic Flame Sect Master's eyes, brimming with murderous aura.
