Upon hearing this, the supreme divine king and Zhan Peng stood up, their gazes intense.
The atmosphere in the hall became heavy with anticipation as everyone turned their attention to the two young couples, filled with excitement and curiosity.
Bai Xuanqi, standing beside Zhan Zusheng, felt a mix of emotions. She had never expected such a grand announcement to be made in front of all these people.
Zhan Zusheng looked at her with a warm smile, trying to ease her nervousness. Their eyes met, and in that moment, both felt a connection that transcended the grand occasion.
The guests began to murmur among themselves, praising the celestial master’s decision and the promising future of the couple.
As the celestial master continued to speak, Zhan Peng and the supreme divine king exchanged approving glances, both recognizing the significance of this union for their families.
Bai Xuanqi felt a sense of pride swell within her as she realized the weight of the promise they were about to make.
“Let us all celebrate this joyous occasion,” the celestial master declared, raising her hand to call for silence.
With a wave of her hand, a banquet was prepared, and the hall was soon filled with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses.
As the festivities began, Bai Xuanqi and Zhan Zusheng were introduced to various guests, each offering their blessings and well wishes.
In the middle of the celebration, Bai Xuanqi felt a gentle tug on her sleeve. It was Gongsun Shanshan, her close friend, who had a mischievous smile on her face.
“Are you excited?” Gongsun Shanshan asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Bai Xuanqi nodded, her heart racing at the thought of the future that awaited her.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be a beautiful bride,” Gongsun Shanshan reassured her, squeezing her hand.
With the warmth of her friend’s support, Bai Xuanqi felt more at ease as the night went on, surrounded by joy and celebration.
“Please, no need for such formalities.” After celestial master Lingxia spoke, Zhan Zusheng took Bai Xuanqi’s hand and stepped forward, kneeling before celestial master Lingxia, and bowed his head, saying, “Thank you, your excellency, for granting this marriage!”
Celestial master Lingxia smiled and said, “Alright, get up.”
After Zhan Zusheng and Bai Xuanqi stood up, they took their places behind Zhan Peng and the supreme divine king.
At this moment, a woman in red armor with exquisite features, standing behind the supreme divine king, smiled and said, “Sister, congratulations!”
“Thank you, sister.” Bai Xuanqi replied playfully.
That's right!
This beautiful woman in red armor was the eldest daughter of the supreme divine king: Bai Xuanyi.
She was also a nine-star divine general in the Baijia army, with unmatched strength, one that none in the supreme divine king’s army could rival.
Bai Xuanqi conveyed through thoughts, “Sister, that kid Jing Yun humiliated me back in the Gods' Abyss. If you encounter him in the duel, you must kill him!”
Bai Xuanyi nodded slightly and replied through thoughts, “Don’t worry, if he truly encounters me, I won’t let him go.”
“Thank you, sister.” Bai Xuanqi said.
“You and I are sisters; saying thank you is unnecessary.” While Bai Xuanyi and Bai Xuanqi were exchanging words, Divine King Jiang Long stood up and sent a harsh thought transmission to a young man in nine-star divine soldier attire from the Jiang family army, saying, “If you encounter Jing Yun, kill without mercy!”
The armored young man was none other than Jiang Long’s adopted son: Jiang Xu, the top figure among the Jiang family soldiers.
At this moment, celestial master Lingxia said, “Everyone, the time has come for the subordinates of the hundred divine kings and noble youths to engage in competition.”
“After the competition ends, everyone will enjoy a banquet here to celebrate the birthday of this celestial master’s child.”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
As soon as these words fell, the Divine Ring on celestial master Lingxia’s finger began to flicker repeatedly, and beams of white light flew out from the ring, spreading from the Nourishing Spirit Garden, transforming into two hundred and twenty crystal-clear Divine Altars.
