Chapter 236 Is this a direct confrontation with a sage?
As soon as Niu Xiaomei uttered these words...
All sounds are silent.
In particular, the many powerful figures who were secretly observing this matter were completely dumbfounded.
"this?"
"Are Xihe and Changxi Niu Ben's betrothed?"
"What's going on?"
"Does the demon race want to take Xihe away to compete with Niu Ben for her hand in marriage?"
"..."
Many powerful beings were astonished.
Meanwhile, Guang Chengzi, Duobao, and other disciples of the Chan and Jie sects present all looked at them with strange expressions.
However, they quickly returned to normal.
The Three Pure Ones initially moved their teachings to Penglai Island, and subsequently held a sermon conference.
Xihe and Changxi were also invited to attend, and Niu Ben arranged for them to listen to the sermon in the front row.
They noticed it back then.
The relationship between my eldest brother and these two goddesses of the Taiyin Star is extraordinary.
At this moment, Xihe and Changxi, who were called "sister-in-law" by Niu Xiaomei, were both stunned, and then their cheeks flushed red.
The two women instinctively opened their mouths, as if they wanted to refute something.
But after glancing at the imposing Niu Ben in front of her, she bit her lower lip and remained silent, offering no rebuttal.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben didn't rush to speak. Instead, he frowned slightly and glanced at Di Jun.
Catching Niu Ben's gaze, Di Jun continued:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"This Heavenly Emperor and the Fairy Xihe are already married."
"The reason we've come to bring her back to the Heavenly Realm is so that the grand wedding can be held as scheduled."
"Fellow Daoist is a reasonable person; surely you won't object?"
Di Jun appeared very polite.
Although he harbored deep resentment towards Niu Ben, Niu Ben's status was undeniable: the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones and the senior disciple of the Three Religions.
In addition, Niu Ben's strength is also formidable.
In the battle of the East Sea, he easily defeated his younger brother, Donghuang Taiyi.
Di Jun didn't want to completely offend such a person unless absolutely necessary.
After Di Jun explained it this way, Niu Ben immediately understood.
"It seems that Di Jun intends to arrange a celestial marriage!"
He sighed to himself.
He was aware of the matter of the three marriages between Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Moreover, if things had followed the original trajectory, Di Jun would indeed have united with Xi He, achieving harmony between Yin and Yang and perfecting the order of the Heavenly Court.
Seeing that Niu Ben still did not respond, a cold glint flashed quickly in Di Jun's eyes.
In his view, he had been so polite, yet Niu Ben still hadn't expressed his opinion, which made Di Jun somewhat angry.
Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing nearby, was furious when he saw this.
If he weren't wary of Niu Ben's status and power, he would have already lost his temper.
After a brief silence, Di Jun suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and glanced at Xi He behind Niu Ben, seemingly unintentionally.
Then, he turned his gaze back to Niu Ben and said again:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"The marriage between this emperor and Xihe was arranged by the sage Nuwa."
"This is the decree of the sages, and it is also in accordance with the way of Heaven."
"If you, fellow Daoist, were to obstruct us, wouldn't that be going against the will of the Sage?"
"Such behavior will only bring unnecessary disaster to you and the Bull Clan!"
"Fellow Daoist, you should think this through carefully!"
Now that things have come to this, Di Jun has no choice but to invoke the name of the sage Nuwa.
This is also his greatest source of confidence.
With a sage's endorsement, who would dare disobey?
Even if Niu Ben is strong, in front of a sage, he still has no choice but to obey.
As Di Jun spoke, all living beings were shocked.
"What?"
"Was it arranged by the sage Nuwa that Dijun and Xihe were betrothed?"
"It turns out that a sage was the matchmaker."
"In that case, Niu Ben probably won't dare to stop him anymore!"
"If the Bull Clan rebels, the Sage's wrath will be something they cannot withstand."
"..."
Upon hearing the news, the members of the Bull Clan, along with the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, all looked solemn in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Unexpectedly, Di Jun's desire to marry Xi He was actually orchestrated by the sage Nuwa.
"saint?"
When Niu Ben saw Di Jun bring up the sage Nuwa, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
If it were someone else, they might actually be fooled by the sage.
But he was not afraid at all.
Di Jun has the sage Nuwa behind him, while he has the Three Pure Ones as his backer.
When it comes to who has the stronger backing, Nuwa pales in comparison to the Three Pure Ones.
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, Xi He, standing behind him, felt a sudden jolt of fear.
Just now, Di Jun glanced at her and then mentioned the marriage arranged by the Sage Nuwa, which was clearly a reminder to her.
If she doesn't return to the Heavenly Realm, not only Niu Ben's place, but the entire Niu Clan will suffer the wrath of the Sage.
After a moment's thought, Xihe's delicate body trembled slightly, and a trace of struggle and helplessness flashed across her beautiful face.
"call!"
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Di Jun!"
"I...I'll go with you."
Xihe spoke in a trembling voice, and then stepped into the void in front of her.
She doesn't like Di Jun.
But he didn't want to drag Niu Ben and the Niu clan into the mess because of his own affairs.
In particular, it would offend a saint for this.
"elder sister!"
"Sister-in-law Xihe!"
Upon seeing Xihe leap out, Changxi and Niu Xiaomei couldn't help but gasp.
Everyone knows that Xihe's actions were out of necessity due to the power of the sage.
To Xihe's surprise, just as she gracefully passed by Niu Ben, a warm and powerful hand grabbed her wrist precisely.
"Niu Ben..."
Xihe was taken aback and stared straight at Niuben.
At this moment, Niu Ben also stared intently at Xi He.
"Xihe, do you really want to marry him?"
"If you don't want to, just say no."
"With me here today, even if the Holy Nuwa herself were to come, she wouldn't be able to forcibly take you away!"
These words were like a thunderbolt!
Many powerful figures who were secretly observing this matter were all shocked.
"this?"
"Niu Ben has some nerve!"
"Is this a direct confrontation with a sage?"
"Is it worth it for Xihe?"
"That's a saint, isn't it?"
"..."
At the same time, upon hearing these words, Di Jun's face turned ashen, and his chest heaved violently.
I said so much just now to intimidate Niu Ben.
To everyone's surprise, judging from Niu Ben's expression, it seemed that he didn't take what he said seriously at all.
Even the saint Nuwa was not in her sight.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Di Jun became, feeling as if he had been humiliated like never before.
"hateful!!"
"That bull... he really deserves to die!"
Di Jun roared inwardly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Niu Ben.
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Xi He became completely flustered.
I never imagined that Niu Ben would go so far as to defy the sage for her sake.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xihe felt an unprecedented sense of security wash over her, almost making her feel intoxicated by it.
In particular, Niu Ben's determined gaze instantly dispelled all her hesitation and fear.
After a brief moment of eye contact, Xihe parted her red lips slightly and shook her head, saying:
"I...I don't want to!"
