Death… and me

As he said, the white-bearded elder scanned all the young masters of the Nine Great Clans. His gaze wasn't sharp, but it was evident that he was warning them.

"This person, this Sword Emperor, the future Sword Monarch, Sword Saint…and even…I've already decided!"

"Who dares to challenge me?"

All the young masters were expressionless when they saw the look in his eyes.

Ling Han Xue calmly said, "Elder Mu, we won't go against you since you've made your decision. We've been out for some time too. I think it's best if we carry out proper matters as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded their heads. Evidently, they agreed with Ling Han Xue's words.

"We are not stupid…why will we dare to challenge you in front of you for someone you've already chosen? At most we'll challenge you through our clans when we return and when we are away from you. If that doesn't work too, we'll just secretly destroy him."

The white-bearded elder snorted and forced Wang Pei to Gu Du Xing. After this, he asked Dong Wu Shang, "Are you Dong Wu Shang?"

Dong Wu Shang was very straightforward and replied, "Yes! I'm about to go to the Upper Three Heavens to take a look!"

The white-bearded elder and the various young masters from the Nine Great Clans were all stunned, "This guy is really steady! No one even asked him anything yet. If it was someone else, he would have taken the opportunity to throw his weight around and gain as many benefits as possible."

Considering how important he was to the white-bearded elder, he would be able to get anything that he wanted as long as he requested. Everyone thought that he was very foolish…

He just spurted everything out directly…

At one side, Dong Wu Lei felt a sense of guilt rushing to his head. "Wu Shang…are you doing this for me?" He lowered his head and sighed. She only felt very bitter in his heart, "I've forced my younger brother away. I forced him to the Upper Three Heavens…"

"Good! Very good!" The white-bearded elder couldn't help but cheered and said, "Since this is the case, I shall lead you there."

"However, I've got a request." Dong Wu Shang said in a deadpan manner.

Everyone almost fainted. "Goodness! So it turns out this fellow isn't that dumb. He's waiting for his opportunity…by whetting the elder's appetite, he could now get whatever he wanted if he asked for it…"

"What request?" Elder Mu's face also slightly contorted.

"I'm only going to the Upper Three Heavens to take a look, but I don't necessarily have to join any organization." Dong Wu Shang claimed. "I'm a very direct person. Of course, even if I join an organization, it can't be now. I need to have some foundation and some achievements first…"

Everyone understood what he was saying.

While he appeared very clumsy, he was in fact not that foolish. From the looks of it right now, the Saber Sovereign was just an uninteresting and dull fellow.

However, his value would skyrocket once he possessed some abilities.

The white-bearded elder laughed and said, "Of course this isn't a problem! Even Enforcers can't force people to do whatever they don't want to do."

He had already made up his mind. Once they went to the Upper Three Heavens, he would sincerely try his best to recruit Dong Wu Shang and let him accept a Grade 9 Saber Saint as his teacher. Once that happened, Dong Wu Shang might be unwilling to leave then…

However, he didn't know that Dong Wu Shang might scoff at the idea of accepting a Grade 9 Saber Saint as his teacher…

"I have one more request!" Dong Wu Shang exclaimed.

"What other request?" The white-bearded elder was stunned.

Dong Wu Shang righteously said, "Can I bring my wife along with me to the Upper Three Heavens?" Mo Lei'er's face was completely red and hid her face behind Dong Wu Shang. She silently reached out her hand to pinch Dong Wu Shang's waist.

"Wife? Since when did I become your wife? Why do you make it sound so crude…"

Dong Wu Shang stood tall and straight, and didn't move at all. His facial muscles twisted slightly.

"Er…that's only right." The white-bearded elder was suddenly relieved. "It's just bringing your woman. Furthermore, did I say you couldn't bring your woman?"

"My comrade also wants to go and take a look." Dong Wu Shang dragged Rui Bu Tong over, "He wants to find some medicine. He has a disease."

Rui Bu Tong was initially very excited. However, he lowered his head deeply after he heard the last sentence. He almost stuffed his entire head into his pocket.

It was embarrassing!

"Couldn't you have used some other reason? Did you have to mention this? In front of the rest and the Nine Great Clans…is this any different from announcing my condition to the entire Nine Heavens?"

After seeing the weird looks that everyone shot him, Rui Bu Tong felt very tormented. He could predict that his name was going to be very notorious in the Nine Heavens. How was he going to find a wife in the future…

Just as he lifted his head, he immediately looked straight into the Ye Shi Yu's 'burning' eyes. He shuddered slightly and trembled like a quail during winter.

"The look in his eyes…it's too terrifying…"

Suddenly, Rui Bu Tong was a little terrified of going to the Upper Three Heavens. He secretly swore to himself, "Once I reach the Upper Three Heavens, I'll immediately disappear…"

"I won't let anyone find me!"

Rui Bu Tong gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

The white-bearded elder agreed to all his requests and thought, "I still thought they were some serious matters…however, if his condition is serious, he might still find it difficult to find a medicine to cure his disease in the Upper Three Heavens…"

Dong Wu Shang's matter had been decided just like that.

Following this, it was time to find someone else.

Mo Tian Ji didn't answer anything he was asked and only revealed a warm smile.

His smile was very amiable. However, it was very obvious that he was unwilling to go.

It was so obvious that everyone else had to be asked again whether they were willing to go.

Luo Ke Di shook his head furiously.

Ji Mo grabbed onto Huyan Aobo's and appeared very blissful.

Xie Dan Qiong couldn't leave as he was a young master of the Xie Clan.

Xie Ao Yun…there was no need to mention Xie Ao Yun at all.

As for Tan Tan…the white-bearded elder only looked at Tan Tan once before he turned his attention somewhere else. Tan Tan's face was indeed a tragic sight. Especially when the elder looked over, Tan Tan actually revealed a smile.

There was no way to describe this smile.

The white-bearded elder felt very fortunate, "Fortunately, I haven't eaten anything this morning…bloody hell…"

Following this, there was the problem of arranging the funeral for the deceased.

In fact, there wasn't really any funeral. Everyone only paid their respects before they parted ways.

After the Enforcers left, the Nine Great Clans expressed their condolences. After this, they tactfully asked Gu Du Xing and the rest. However, they couldn't help but accept the truth given how everyone was so persistent.

But the bunch of young masters gathered together just before they left. The look in their eyes seemed to suggest that they knew they were going to meet one day in the Upper Three Heavens.

Although they were all smiling, they were all very wary of one another. They were extremely guarded,

They all had a feeling – they would be competitors one day!

Dangerous!

Chu Yang wasn't the only one who had this feeling. Li Ba Tian and the rest could also clearly sense this feeling.

After they hypocritically and tacitly said a few words, the Nine Great Clans left under the supervision of the Enforcers.

Eventually, Dong Wu Shang, Rui Bu Tong and Mo Lei'er bid goodbye to the rest and followed the Enforcers.

The Black Devil and all their comrades came to send them off.

Although the Black Devil was seriously injured, he still insisted on coming out to sed them off.

His daughter was about to go to the Upper Three Heavens. He felt very comforted! He was very pleased as he said, "Dong Wu Shang, I'm going to pass my daughter to you now! You must take good care of her! Take good care of her! If you let her suffer…"

Dong Wu Shang slapped his own chest and exclaimed, "Don't worry! You can count on me!"

The Black Devil acknowledged his words before turning to Dong Wu Lei, "The two of them will be gone together for a long time, and they'll be spending a lot of alone time together too. We can't just let their relationship remain like this. Why not let's do this? I'm Lei'er's father, while you're Dong Wu Shang's elder brother, which means you're like his father. Let's set their marriage now and make their relationship more official."

Mo Lei'er's face turned extremely hot when he said this.

Dong Wu Lei said, "This is a good idea. Let's just exchange some keepsakes given the urgency of the matter. We can only settle with them right now."

"What's the point of keepsakes!" The Black Devil waved his remaining hand disdainfully and said, "We are members of the pugilistic world. Our words hold enormous weight! Since both you and I agree to this arrangement and everyone else has witnessed it, the both of them will be husband and wife from now on!"

"Convoluted and over-elaborate documents are also very annoying! A men's work centers around the outside, while a women's work centers around the home. This has always been the case. Exchanging keepsakes is the same as transferring something from your left to right pocket. It's annoying to keep transferring them over and over."

He raised his brow, "Dong Wu Shang, from now on, my daughter is your wife!"

He turned around and shouted, "Lei'er! This is your husband!"

After this, he said, "How the both of you fight and quarrel in the future is all up to the both of you. No one else will care and no one else can care about the both of you. Even I can't meddle in your affairs. From now on, if the both of you are blissful, then good for the both of you. If the both of you aren't blissful, then both of you deserve it! It's going to be this way in the future. Does anyone else have anything to say?"

He turned around and only saw that everyone was stunned.

This was their first time seeing someone marrying his daughter off in this manner.

There weren't any dowry, matchmaker or betrothal gifts. There weren't any documents and a wedding ceremony either. No tea was served either. The two of them became husband and wife by words!

No one had ever seen something like this before.

Even Mo Lei'er wasn't embarrassed right now, but stunned instead as she looked at her father. Her beautiful eyes were opened widely. She didn't expect that she was married off just like that.

"Piak piak piak…" Chu Yang and Mo Tian Ji clapped their hands at the same time. "It's indeed the Black Devil! Decisive! We are utterly convinced! Today is also considered a good day since we won the battle. It's a beautiful day, everyone is around and we even have two Supreme Martial Artists to witness everything! Dong Wu Shang, you have been blessed. Quickly greet your father-in-law!"

"Just kowtow once to me!" The Black Devil waved his hand again and his voice was as sinister as ever. However, he seemed to be very satisfied.

"Go!" Chu Yang kicked Dong Wu Shang's knees and he plopped to the ground on his knees. Dong Wu Shang had yet to be jolted from his daze and almost got up. Everyone rushed up to hold him down and pushed his head to the ground. Luo Ke Di and Ji Mo held onto his shoulders, while Xie Dan Qiong exerted pressure on his lower back to push him forward.

"Greet!" Mo Tian Ji dragged his word.

Everyone used their strength on him. Rui Bu Tong held onto Dong Wu Shang's head. He was exacting revenge and wanted to smash his head into the ground.
