Immortal of the Ages

When Yun Xiao firmly demanded the ten Personal Pledges, the Young Dragon Lord's face turned a shade of gold, fury raging within his chest. If murderous intent could kill, Yun Xiao would have died 10,000 times over.

"Ten Personal Pledges for one life!" Yun Xiao reiterated. "Young Dragon Lord, the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects is merely a contest among geniuses. Sacrificing the life of your beloved wife, leaving your child motherless—is that a choice you can live with?"

"Silence!"

"Eunuch dog! Beast! How can you be so despicable!"

The men of the Dragon Devil Clan, each stronger than Long Qinyang, were seething with anger, nearly driven mad.

"Young Dragon Lord, we can't give in..." Gusu Yan said anxiously, shaking his head.

"This man is utterly untrustworthy," the Bloodvine Young Master interjected, shaking his head. "He doesn't fear being abandoned by millions. If we give him the Personal Pledges, he'll only make new demands! The Extreme Yin Celestial Realm aims for the top ten; if they don't make it, their entire sect is in peril. Since he has taken a hostage, he'll use her to the end!"

He meant that from the moment Shen Nanyin was captured, her fate was sealed.

"The other side has finally grabbed a lifeline; why would they let it go?"

"Forget about Shen Nanyin! Kill him, flatten the Extreme Yin Star, and complete the mission!" a Dragon Devil Clan man beside the Young Dragon Lord growled through clenched teeth.

"Young Dragon Lord, there will be plenty of opportunities to clear our names later. But if we fall into this scoundrel's rhythm and let him lead us by the nose, we'll only lose our advantage," another clan member added.

All of them were aware of how much the Young Dragon Lord truly cared about Shen Nanyin.

"The most important thing is for the Southern Divine Dragon Realm to ascend to the Heavenly Deity Alliance and gain widespread support. We can't let our allies lose heart now. As for women, they're everywhere; the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm lacks none!"

"Young Dragon Lord, at this critical moment, you must make a choice. The elders need to see your decisive action in dealing with this scoundrel!"

"For our Southern Divine Dragon Realm to rise, the key is not to dishearten our allies. How can we abandon ten allies for the sake of one woman?"

The words of the Dragon Devil Clan members slightly eased the tense hearts of the Bloodvine Young Master and the others. They didn't wish for strained relations with the Southern Divine Dragon Realm either.

In the eyes of the other Dragon Devil Clan members, the fact that the Young Dragon Lord needed so much persuasion and hadn't immediately decided to strike down Yun Xiao was already less than ideal.

They knew he pursued perfection, aiming to achieve both ascension and cherishing his wife. He couldn't accept that a mere celestial slave might ruin a mission, and so he was torn.

"Enough!" The Young Dragon Lord indeed possessed spirit. Unable to contain the fury in his heart, he fixed his gaze on Yun Xiao, completely avoiding Shen Nanyin's despairing eyes. "The Southern Divine Dragon Realm will not abandon any ally," he declared. "Name another condition, or else you will die here!"

"Well, isn't that a coincidence? I won't give up a single one of those ten Personal Pledges either," Yun Xiao said with a cold smile.

"Then go to hell!" The Young Dragon Lord could endure no more. He finally let go of Shen Nanyin and, along with all the Dragon Devil Clan members, surged toward Yun Xiao.

They were ruthless. But this scene didn't catch Yun Xiao off guard. Facing this dire situation, he suddenly laughed.

"Young Dragon Lord, do you know that being humiliated is harder to bear than death?" Yun Xiao said.

At this moment, no one was listening. The Young Dragon Lord charged ahead like a golden dragon emerging from the sea, roaring toward him.

"What are you planning to do?" Shen Nanyin panicked.

"What else? Putting on even more of a show!" Yun Xiao suddenly declared.

With that, his eyes turned icy. His Sword Soul expanded, and he suddenly wielded the Sovereign Sword, shooting backward at lightning speed. A violent Ice Era swept out, freezing most of the nearby attackers!

"Ah?" Shen Nanyin gasped, her breath quickening.

Before she could react, Yun Xiao tore open her battle armor! Then, just as the Young Dragon Lord caught a glimpse, he shrouded everything with the Primordial Sphere…

"Ugh…!" A moan escaped Shen Nanyin's lips. Her eyes widened, her expression frozen, then she began to scream. Too many people were watching! She was the wife of the Young Dragon Lord, a taboo among the men of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm!

She would rather die than be humiliated! She absolutely couldn't allow herself to be disgraced by a celestial slave in public...

The most infuriating part was that this celestial slave's mastery of the Sovereign Sword was absurdly swift. Coupled with the Ice Era, he broke through the encirclement in an instant.

Then Yun Xiao released the veil of the Primordial Sphere, revealing the disheveled looking Shen Nanyin. He looked down at the Young Dragon Lord and remarked with a smile, "The Young Dragon Consort, not bad at all!"

In that instant, it was like 100,000 sharp swords stabbing into the Young Dragon Lord's heart!

"AHHHH!" The Young Dragon Lord spat fire from his mouth.

"Give me the ten Personal Pledges now, and you still have a chance. Otherwise, today, in front of all your clan members and allies, I don't plan to stop!" Yun Xiao laughed.

And the most devastating part was that while driving Shen Nanyin to madness, Yun Xiao could still soar through the starry expanse with the Sovereign Sword. Even the Young Dragon Lord couldn't catch up to him, completely toyed with under his control!

The Young Dragon Lord's hair stood on end, his face entirely golden. Unable to contain himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body fumed with rage, his mind buzzing.

Without turning around, he knew the strange gazes of those behind him!

He was fully aware of how humiliated he was at this moment in the Million Starlight Palace...

He finally understood why Yun Xiao said that being humiliated was harder to accept than dying!

As long as Shen Nanyin remained alive and Yun Xiao kept up the performance, he would continue to feel as if 100,000 swords were piercing his heart—he might cough up all his blood.

As of now, all the Young Dragon Lord wanted to do was snatch Shen Nanyin and immediately strike her down. Then, he would have no more flaws. So, he roared, "Fine, I agree to your conditions. You can have your ten Personal Pledges!"
