Since things have come to this point, naturally there's no care for dignity. Moreover, the bride stands there motionless with her veil on, obviously having her major acupoints sealed. Could this imply even more intrigue?

Additionally, the actions of the young man from the Dugu Family weren't stopped by the Dugu Family's strong members, clearly allowing him to act this way.

"If there's really nothing to hide, Brother Xuanyuan, why not unveil the bride? It won't cost a piece of flesh after all. We have no ill intentions; we simply wish to witness the extraordinary visage of the Xuanyuan Clan's future Young Madam!"

A young man from the Fengyun Clan spoke calmly, "Moreover, it's now the year 2018. The ancient feudal systems have long been abolished. Even though we are part of an Ancient Clan, adhering to tradition, sometimes we must follow the flow of modern times, mustn't we?"

The person speaking was Fengyun Qingnan, the Young Clan Leader of the Fengyun Clan, known for his terrifying talent, a future candidate for the Clan Leader's position.

"Fengyun Qingnan is absolutely right, I agree!" said the young man from the Dugu Family, his words sharp and aggressive.

This person is Dugu Feng, a future candidate for the Dugu Clan's Clan Leader.

"So, today, my future daughter-in-law, you must see face to face?" Xuanyuan Hao's voice was cold, and with things as they were, it seemed that without unveiling the bride, the situation wouldn't be manageable.

But if we go back to the point, once the veil is lifted, a conflict will undoubtedly arise. After all, Xuanyuan Hao knew very well why these cunning foxes were here, making it a dilemma he couldn't easily navigate.

"Indeed, since there's no issue, I don't think Xuanyuan Clan Leader would mind us taking a look!" the Zhan Family Clan Leader spoke imposingly.

"What the Zhan Clan Leader says is right, if there's no issue, why fear a look? Wouldn't you agree, Xuanyuan Clan Leader?" added the Yunhe Family Clan Leader.

For a time, the hall was filled with a peculiar atmosphere. The people who had come to offer their blessings noticed a distinct tension, knowing well that with the nine great families present, leaving without seeing the bride was impossible. The decision lay beyond the Xuanyuan Clan's control.

Since when has the Xuanyuan Clan, one of the ten great families, been pressured to such an extent?

"Pengfei, lift the veil!" Xuanyuan Hao, realizing there was no room for maneuver, had no choice but to comply.

"Dad!"

"Lift it!"

"This..."

"Listen to your dad, lift it!" Feng Jue spoke up.

Swish, swish, swish~

Many eyes focused on Xuanyuan Hao. Did Xuanyuan Hao yield today? But it was understandable, facing pressure from nine great families simultaneously, how could he not yield?

Subsequently, many eyes turned to the bride, and at the moment the veil was lifted, almost everyone was stunned by her unparalleled beauty.

"So beautiful!"

As the veil was removed, her visage was unparalleled, seemingly stunning the entire Xuanyuan Hall. Such a face was undoubtedly among the top in the Kunlun Division, but it was too cold, making people want to approach yet feel an intangible barrier.

Regardless of whether or not she has a special physique, this face alone could likely mesmerize any man.

"Indeed, an unparalleled physique one in a million!" declared the Dugu Clan Leader. "It seems the Xuanyuan Clan Leader has truly done something shameful. As far as I know, no woman in the Kunlun Division has such a physique. Moreover, you sealed her acupoints, clearly having taken her by force!"

Who doesn't know Dugu Tian deliberately said so, simply finding an excuse.

Upon hearing this, the other clan leaders naturally sided with Dugu Tian, as no one wished for the Xuanyuan Clan to become dominant in Kunlun through this woman.

"Since you've all had a look, please, do leave!" Feng Jue snorted coldly.

"Leave?" The Yunhe Family Clan Leader smiled slightly, "Mrs. Xuanyuan, you must be joking. Since we've come, we naturally won't leave easily. Given that this person was taken by your Xuanyuan Clan, we cannot just stand by!"

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Hao's gaze was sharp.

"Such an extraordinarily beautiful woman should be desired as a daughter-in-law by many esteemed families here, don't you think?" the Fengyun Clan Leader spoke with a smile.

With these words, the young members of the other nine great families all had sharp gazes. Regardless of whether she was of unparalleled physique, this extraordinary beauty alone made her coveted by any young man.

"I do have a suggestion!" The Dongfang Clan Leader spoke mildly, "A martial arts duel for marriage!"

"You're this blatant? Putting my Xuanyuan Clan in such a position? If you all get your way, where would the face of my Xuanyuan Clan go?" An overwhelming coldness emanated from Xuanyuan Hao.

The Xuanyuan family's daughter-in-law being forced to a martial contest for marriage — what a humiliation! This was disgraceful to the Xuanyuan Clan.

He continued, "Just now, you disdained the actions of my Xuanyuan Clan, yet now you wish to take her by force. What right do you have to lecture my Xuanyuan Clan?"

"This moment is different from that moment!" Dongfang Clan Leader, Dongfang Tailai's voice was indifferent, "I believe every Clan Leader here would agree with me!"

"Indeed!" The clan leaders echoed in agreement.

Dongfang Tailai went on, "This matter is likely beyond your Xuanyuan Clan's control. Of course, we won't bully the Xuanyuan Clan. In this martial contest for marriage, let the young clan leaders of the great families compete. If your son Xuanyuan Pengfei excels, we will naturally have no more to say and will not disturb again!"

"The Dongfang Clan Leader's method is superb. Moreover, with such an unparalleled physique, the Xuanyuan Clan wanting to marry her quietly is out of the question for us to agree to. If the Xuanyuan Clan insists, it may well incite public anger, so I advise the Xuanyuan Clan Leader to choose the martial contest for marriage!"

"Moreover, with your son Xuanyuan Pengfei's prowess, is there any concern of not winning?"

"..."

The major clan leaders all spoke, making Xuanyuan Hao look extremely pale. Today, with the nine great families descending at once, if they didn't comply, today's birthday banquet and wedding banquet could not continue.

Furthermore, how could Xuanyuan Hao not understand that the Xuanyuan Clan had now become the target of public hatred?

After suppressing his emotions for a moment, Xuanyuan Hao finally spoke coldly, "I hope you all keep your word!"

"With so many people watching, we will certainly keep our word, unlike your Xuanyuan Clan who took her by force!"

"You?" Xuanyuan Hao was extremely angry, wanting to ask, aren't you taking by force too? But faced with an overwhelming situation, Xuanyuan Hao could only swallow his feelings.

After today, Xuanyuan Hao vowed in his heart that this grudge would be avenged.

"Fine... I agree!" Xuanyuan Hao shouted coldly, "Pengfei, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

"Good, I believe in you!" Xuanyuan Hao nodded, giving the order: "The martial contest platform is just outside the hall in the martial practice grounds. What do you all think?"

"That sounds great!" Many agreed, nodding.

Quickly, everyone left the hall, and the vast martial grounds became crowded, with countless people gathering around. At the center of the martial platform stood many young figures, their eyes filled with burning determination.
