Chapter 2032: The Demon Consort's Birthday Banquet: Successive Appearances of the Primordial Source Inheritors, Mù Lángyá

After being personally received, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others from the Xuán Mó Sect finally arrived at the venue of the birthday banquet held by Qū Hóngluán of the Demon Empress lineage.

As one of the few demon consorts in the Demon Empress lineage whose power and influence are second only to the Demon Empress herself.

The palace where Qū Hóngluán resides is naturally magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Located among mountain gullies and ravines, it is vast beyond compare, with palaces stretching continuously.

At a glance, it even gives off an aura of immortals, as if it were the dwelling of some goddess or fairy consort.

This makes it hard to associate with the so-called demon consorts.

As the birthday banquet is about to begin, the many guests who have come to offer congratulations are also filing in.

They gather on the vast square in front of a cluster of palaces.

The maids coming and going are all stunningly beautiful.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others from the Xuán Mó Sect casually take their seats.

In the past, no matter what banquet, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao was always the honored guest in the VIP section, the center of everyone's attention.

But now, he is quite ordinary, sitting with the Xuán Mó Sect members in a regular seat.

After all, the Xuán Mó Sect is not a top-tier great sect.

It merely barely qualifies for an invitation, so naturally it does not occupy an important position.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lǐ Wúshuāng of the Jiǔ Shà Men has also arrived.

Lǐ Wúshuāng casually sweeps his gaze, and suddenly it fixes on Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hmm?"

A flicker of doubt flashes in Lǐ Wúshuāng's eyes.

He always feels that the white-haired man with the ghost mask has an inexplicable sense of danger.

Even, there is a faint hint of familiarity.

But then he dismisses this thought.

The white-haired man wearing the ghost-faced mask has a dark and profound aura.

He is clearly an unfathomable demonic path heaven's pride.

This merely serves as a slight reminder to Lǐ Wúshuāng that in this Qī Jué Yù contention, talented people are likely to emerge in abundance.

It won't be so easy to seize the opportunity.

As time passes, many guests have also arrived in full.

At this moment, the arrival of a group of people draws countless gazes from those present.

Leading them is a man dressed in black ceremonial robes.

He is very handsome, with ancient black patterns on his forehead.

His entire being emits a vague dark aura, like an ancient black hole.

His eyes are also deep and black, making one feel as if their soul would be sucked in upon a single glance.

"He is that one from the Xié Zhǔ lineage."

"Mù Lángyá, he really came..."

Upon seeing this man whose entire body radiates a dark aura, many people around begin to whisper and discuss.

This man is none other than the owner of the Demon Lord's primordial source found by the Xié Zhǔ lineage, Mù Lángyá!

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao also casts a faint glance in his direction.

Previously, Yuán'ér told him that this Mù Lángyá had received the inheritance of a certain powerful being, making his strength unfathomable.

Now looking at him, in Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, he is just so-so.

But to other heavenly prides, he is indeed like a great mountain.

Moreover, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao can feel that the Demon Lord's primordial source on Mù Lángyá is very substantial.

Although it still does not match his own.

But it is already comparable to the Demon Lord's primordial source possessed by Dōngfāng Àoyuè.

As for the ancient evil, its Demon Lord's primordial source is somewhat less than that of Mù Lángyá and Dōngfāng Àoyuè.

Among those who have appeared so far as possessors of the Demon Lord's primordial source.

It seems that Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's Demon Lord's primordial source is the most magnificent.

Could it be that in the dark, the Demon Lord also feels that he is the most likely candidate to become the next Demon Lord?

But unfortunately, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao looks down on even accepting the mandate of the Human Emperor's Heavenly Mandate.

How much less likely would he be to accept the Demon Lord's Heavenly Mandate.

Moreover, Dōngfāng Àoyuè wants to become the Demon Lord, and Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao does not mind pushing his own woman into that position.

As for this Mù Lángyá...

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's gaze is indifferent.

It is the gaze of one looking at a dead person.

Anyone else who has designs on Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's woman.

Even if they merely have the thought, without having acted upon it.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao will sentence them to death.

The only uncertainty is who will go kill Mù Lángyá.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao feels that, given Dōngfāng Àoyuè's temperament, she probably wants to personally deal with Mù Lángyá, this toad.

And not long after Mù Lángyá's arrival.

The ancient evil from the Yuān Huáng lineage also arrived.

His aura remains as before—gloomy and cold, carrying an aura that warns strangers not to approach.

As a heaven-abandoned person, he could hardly trust anyone.

And no one could truly get close to him.

Seeing the two owners of the Demon Lord's origin arrive.

Everyone present knew.

They all wanted to win over Qu Hongluan.

Especially Murong Langya.

He previously pursued Dongfang Aoyue, and now wants to win over Qu Hongluan.

Obviously, he wants to bring the Demon Empress's lineage under his influence.

To have the Demon Empress's lineage support him as an owner of the Demon Lord's origin.

And although Gu Nie's personality wouldn't go around winning people over, he would also obstruct Murong Langya, preventing him from succeeding.

"Is it just these two? Both possess the Demon Lord's origin."

And among the crowd, Li Wushuang also glanced at these two.

Their strength is indeed not weak.

But Li Wushuang also has confidence in his own strength.

Murong Langya, Gu Nie, and Li Wushuang, who fancied himself a hunter.

And finally, there was Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao, the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This journey to the Seven Absolutes Realm will not be peaceful.

Not long after the guests had all arrived.

The Demon Consort Qu Hongluan finally appeared.

Her appearance left many men in the hall slightly dazed.

She was a peerless beauty endowed with myriad charms.

Qu Hongluan's ink-black hair was coiled into a simple bun, her starry eyes hooked souls irresistibly, and her allure arose abundantly.

Her jade cheeks were as radiant as peach blossoms, her beauty exceptional.

Skin white as jade, her curves exaggerated.

Perfectly revealing the matured feminine charm and grace brought by time.

Like a fresh peach, possessing a tempting, exquisite allure.

The sound of many people swallowing saliva rang out clearly in the hall.

Some even stared with their eyes wide open.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression was extremely calm.

This woman who looked quite mature and charming.

Her true age? Probably old enough to be his great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.

But that was only what he thought.

For cultivators, age has never been a problem.

"Thank you all for coming to attend the banquet."

Qu Hongluan spoke, her voice clear and crisp beyond compare, not sounding like a woman at all, but like a girl in her prime.

This made some men's hearts itch even more.

Of course, they could only feel that itch.

They didn't even dare to glance at Qu Hongluan a second time.

As the Demon Consort, Qu Hongluan appeared calm, but her methods were also not simple.

Next came, naturally, a round of congratulations and celebrations.

All guests, present your gifts.

Ten-thousand-year blood jade ginseng.

Luminous pearl of glazed night.

Heavenly canopy precious jade.

Various rare treasures were presented.

However, most of the people present had ulterior motives.

They knew what the real show was.

Qu Hongluan didn't bother to keep them in suspense.

She directly revealed a faint smile and said.

"I know you came here for another purpose."

"It's simple: set up a stage, and let your heavenly pride juniors compete in it."

"Whoever can let me watch to my satisfaction, whoever remains last on the stage, whoever that is, shall have the qualification to enter the Seven Absolutes Realm."
