Chapter 780: Chapter 780
Eight brides, dressed in wedding gowns, were married in one day.
It was imaginable that the places where these eight brides were from must have been very far apart, otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to marry on the same day.
After all, having eight brides marry together was too much of a coincidence.
Such a thing would not happen within a short distance.
So, the distance between these eight brides was certainly very vast.
But Liu Niang, to capture them, traversed such great distances and brought them back.
This showed that she did it first for herself, and second for Yang Yan.
She thought Yang Yan had a taste for this.
*Yang Yan really wanted to tell the other party that he actually did not have a taste for this at all.*
*He was a man of integrity!*
However, as an emperor, now that they were captured, how could he let them go to waste?
Adding them to his harem was only natural!
Now, under the Five Realms, he was already invincible!
He could suppress everything and anyone who stood in his way!
Moreover, he knew all these people were out to kill him.
If they could send people to hunt him down, what was wrong with him taking a few women?
*Did he really have to repay evil with good?*
Sorry, even if he were a scholar, he couldn’t do it, and even a True Ancient Saint might find it difficult!
Of course, Yang Yan wasn’t a good person, nor was he a villain.
He was a hero, a supreme emperor!
In his eyes, under the Five Realms now, he could use a phrase: all lands under heaven, are his imperial domain!
All people in the world were his subjects to be described!
Whatever he wanted, he could possess. Read full story at N()velFire.net
*Hunt him down? How dare they!*
*Kill them,* what was wrong with wanting their women?
If they dared cause trouble, he would cut them down too!
"Sir, would you like to try them?" Liu Niang said softly.
Yang Yan nodded slightly.
"Trying them wouldn’t hurt!"
To bring them into the harem?
He only thought about it, making them servants would be best.
Making them concubines, perhaps their identities and status weren’t enough.
Moreover, these women had deep-seated grudges with him.
Even if they forgot hate when with him and fell in love,
there was still a grudge, so Yang Yan couldn’t possibly keep them as concubines by his side, only as servants.
Just like in ancient times after wars, the silver and women captured could either be cut down or sent away or kept by oneself.
To the victor goes the spoils, winning is reason enough!
Moreover, in the future, Yang Yan was to ascend above the Five Realms, wanting to keep them by his side as concubines.
Other women wouldn’t agree either.
For example, Ming Yue...
She certainly wouldn’t allow those who once had grudges with Yang Yan to remain by his side.
They might eventually remember and threaten Yang Yan.
Not killing them was already quite kind.
"To serve that dog Yan Yan is impossible!"
"I’d rather die than serve him!"
"Villain, give back my husband’s life!"
They shouted and cursed Yang Yan in anger.
Unlike Xuan Qingya, they made no attempt to conceal their hatred and murderous intent towards Yang Yan!
If it weren’t for Liu Niang keeping them in check, they might have recklessly attacked Yang Yan by now.
"Silence!" Liu Niang shouted at them.
Her voice was so loud it almost shattered their eardrums.
"The lord is a villain? What do you people who hunt him down think you are?
Can you kill people, but he can’t?
What a grand sense of authority you carry, how imposing!" she retorted scornfully.
"To the victor goes the spoils, do not rely on mere words alone.
I have long told you, if you pass the test,
I can let you go, leaving you free to seek revenge in the future!
If you fail, that is your fault and no one else’s!"
Her words caused the eight brides in wedding gowns to glare at her.
Liu Niang was not wrong, but they refused to admit it.
Because how could a killer ever acknowledge their own villainy? They would only think of themselves as acting on behalf of heaven!
Besides, they and Liu Niang each had their own sides, standing on different positions.
And they each cared about their own interests without considering those of their opponents.
"Rest assured, we will not let you succeed!"
"These tests, trivial as they are, can be easily passed unless you’re being deliberately obstructive!"
"Remember the words you have said just now and don’t regret them later!"
They spoke one after another, confident in their ability to pass Yang Yan and Liu Niang’s tests.
They had the qualifications and conditions for it.
Because they came from different sects, with ages varying widely.
But regardless of age, their Saint Cultivation was undeniable.
*In Heart Realm and strength, they were not weak.*
One of them even reached the Great Saint Cultivation, clearly indicating her Heart Realm and cultivation, in her view, were enough to handle anything.
"Rest assured, my lord is not like you, he won’t go back on his word or deliberately make things hard for you weaklings!
Killing you would be easy," Liu Niang said. "Next, I will release you. You have one day to stay here.
As long as you can refrain from serving the lord, you will have passed the test," Liu Niang continued.
The eight brides in wedding gowns nodded.
"Understood, release us and let the test begin!"
"We won’t make a move, rest assured, we are not the kind of people you claim.
We also keep our word; we are not vile!"
"Very well, I await the outcome," Liu Niang said with a smile.
She signaled to Yang Yan, who raised his hand in agreement.
He then lay down, and the nearby female Saints approached.
The recuperated Xuan Qingya also came over and continued to serve him.
She wore a red wedding gown, appearing very beautiful.
The scene before their eyes caused the eight brides in red gowns to stare at Yang Yan and the others.
They each snorted coldly, showing contempt.
"I have long been past worldly matters, and you, in my eyes, are but red-powdered skulls," said the bride with Great Saint Cultivation.
Liu Niang released them.
"Let’s see what you achieve!"
She stood to the side, waiting for what would happen next.
"Perhaps this time, I can gain profound insights and go farther!" she mused.
After Liu Niang released the eight brides, their minds began to turn.
Some of them verbally agreed to Liu Niang, not intending to make a move against Yang Yan.
But inside, some began to change.
"Not make a move against Yang Yan? Keep my word?
You killed my father, mother, husband, and my husband’s father and mother...
You were so ruthless and want me to keep my word to you!
*I must find a way to strike and kill Yang Yan!" thought one bride, her face austere and expression cold.*
Her cultivation was at the peak of the Saint realm, known as the Poison Saint!
Her body was full of toxins, having once poisoned a Cultivator at the Peak of Great Saint cultivation, earning her a significant reputation.
This woman had a sovereign realm of cultivation, but Yang Yan did not.
If she could approach Yang Yan and then poison him,
even if Yang Yan inherited the Sword Dao Emperor’s legacy, he would surely not withstand it!
*But how to poison Yang Yan?* she pondered.
She stared at Yang Yan and then thought of something.
"Those women are serving Yang Yan, and if I do the same, then through the mouth or..." cold light gradually erupted in her eyes.
"If I do so, Yang Yan will undoubtedly die!"
