Chapter 104 - 104: Assassination Fails, the Jun Family Arrives, Xiao Chen's Transformation
"Hmph, trying to compete with this Imperial Prince for a woman? You're thinking too naively," the Third Prince said with a cold sneer on his face.
Although he also knew that the mysterious young master was extraordinary, he just couldn't swallow this indignity.
Moreover, he himself was a prince of an immortal divine dynasty; his status and position were not low, and he had no need to fear the successors of immortal forces.
Besides, the assassins from Youming Tian, regardless of their success or failure, would not reveal the buyer.
So, to take a step back, even if they failed, the Third Prince didn't have to worry about his identity being leaked.
Of course, the Third Prince naturally didn't know that Jun Xiaoyao possessed a method like the Chaos Divine Millstone.
"Failure is impossible. The assassins sent by Youming Tian are all one realm higher in cultivation than that person, and there's even a Nirvana Realm expert who is two realms higher."
A smile touched the corners of the Third Prince's mouth; he was full of confidence.
At this moment, a hoarse voice transmission came.
"The assassination failed. For a short period, our Youming Tian will not make another move."
"What?"
Hearing this voice transmission, the Third Prince's expression changed abruptly.
"What on earth went wrong? Or did a Dao Protector intervene?" the Third Prince said.
The only possibility he could think of was that a Dao Protector had intervened.
"No, before they act, they should always investigate and confirm," the voice said.
"Then are you saying that a mere Guiyi Realm cultivator managed to kill your Youming Tian's Hedao Realm and Nirvana Realm assassins?" The Third Prince couldn't believe it.
"That is the fact. The grass has been disturbed, and the snake alerted. We will not make another move in the short term, and the payment will not be returned."
After saying this, the voice disappeared.
Leaving the Third Prince with a gloomy face.
"How could this be? What is the origin of that person? Is he really that formidable?" The Third Prince simply refused to believe it.
He had paid a hefty price, only to end up with such a result.
He even suspected if Youming Tian was just perfunctorily deceiving him.
However, assassin organizations like Youming Tian, although cold-blooded and cruel, valued their reputation the most.
If they had no reputation, no one would seek them out.
The Third Prince's expression was unsettled; a sense of unease arose in his heart.
It was as if he had caused a monstrous disaster.
"Could that person be... No, it's definitely impossible. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Vaguely, a name surfaced in the Third Prince's mind, but he instantly dismissed it.
That name was too terrifying. If it really was him, the Third Prince couldn't imagine what kind of consequences he would face.
"No, this Imperial Prince must be overthinking. Besides, even if those Youming Tian assassins are dead, they couldn't possibly reveal my identity," the Third Prince said as if to console himself.
...
In a simple, quiet, and secluded courtyard in the imperial capital.
Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, refining the Immortal Origin he had obtained.
Three hundred pieces of Immortal Origin were enough for Jun Xiaoyao to refine another batch of Da Luo Immortal Bones.
"That Third Prince is truly pitiful. He lost the Immortal Origin, lost the woman, and was even plotted against by me once," Jun Xiaoyao tsked and shook his head.
The Third Prince was such a miserable man.
However, thinking about it, Xiao Chen, Ji Xuan, Champion Hou, and others who opposed him also seemed quite miserable.
"By the way, that Xiao Chen should be arriving at the Divine Dynasty's imperial capital soon, right? To stage a drama of snatching the bride. I still want to see him clash with Champion Hou," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
He also vaguely guessed that Xiao Chen's fortune had not yet run out. His appearance this time might bring about significant changes.
But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care. No matter how Xiao Chen changed, it would be difficult for him to catch up to his shadow.
On the contrary, Jun Xiaoyao actually hoped Xiao Chen would become a little stronger; otherwise, it wouldn't be as interesting then.
"Now that both chess pieces are in place, the Panwu Divine Dynasty will have no choice but to open the Panwu Mausoleum to me. Next, I'll refine these Immortal Origin pieces and quietly await the start of the banquet."
Jun Xiaoyao murmured and once again immersed himself in cultivation.
...
As days passed, the day of Wu Mingyue's consort selection drew nearer and nearer.
Forces from all directions, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, converged on the imperial capital of the Divine Dynasty.
In the sky, a line of flying ancient beasts pulled chariots, rumbling and crushing the firmament.
The banners of the Jun family were planted on the chariots.
This commotion attracted the attention of countless people from all directions.
"The Desolate Ancient Jun family is here!"
"The Jun family has indeed come! Is that Divine Son among them?"
"The Jun family's Divine Son subdued a Nine-Headed Lion as his mount, but why don't I see it?"
"Could it be that he really didn't come?"
Many people showed surprise upon seeing the Jun family's convoy.
Everyone knew that the Jun family's Divine Son used a Nine-Headed Lion to pull his chariot.
But now, there was no trace of the Nine-Headed Lion.
Inside a chariot, Jun Zhangjian and several other Sequences sat discussing.
"The Divine Son should have already arrived in the imperial capital, right?" Jun Zhangjian said.
"He should have. However, Young Master likely has his own ideas. There's no need for us to disturb him," Jun Linglong said.
She was intelligent and perceptive, knowing that Jun Xiaoyao had set off alone in advance, certainly for some arrangement that was inconvenient to bring them along for.
"That's right. How can we fathom the Divine Son's thoughts?" Jun Xuehuang said.
"Hmph, it's just that Champion Hou's words are truly infuriating. Who gave him the courage to provoke Young Master?"
Lightning flickered in Jun Wanjie's eyes, his tone filled with disdain.
He admitted that Champion Hou was indeed not weak, but to say he wanted to crush Jun Xiaoyao was simply a fantasy.
"Just a buffoon. The Divine Son will be able to suppress him casually when the time comes," Jun Xuehuang said.
They all had extreme confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.
...
At the imperial capital's city gate.
"Stop! Why are you wrapped up so tightly? Remove your hood and let us inspect you," a city gate guard said to a black-robed figure.
Facing transcendent prodigies like Jun Xiaoyao, they didn't dare to stop and inspect.
But these commoner cultivators naturally couldn't avoid inspection.
The black-robed figure slowly removed his hood, revealing a handsome and refined face.
It was Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's face bore a look of firmness and determination.
Even the city gate guards were awed by Xiao Chen's aura.
"Al... Alright, you may enter," the guard swallowed, not daring to say more.
The aura vaguely emanating from Xiao Chen was almost comparable to that of a prodigy from an immortal force.
"Success or failure hinges on this!"
Xiao Chen clenched his fists.
His pupils seemed to have turned an azure color like the sky.
Beneath his skin, faint azure dragon light patterns flowed.
After the baptism of the Supreme's blood, Xiao Chen's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
He had directly broken through to the peak of the Guiyi realm.
Not only that, but his Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art had also reached complete perfection with the help of the Supreme's blood.
And the perfected Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art was a Supreme-level technique.
Furthermore, he had comprehended and refined many martial arts divine abilities of the Azure Dragon lineage from the Supreme's blood.
It could be said that the current Xiao Chen was more than a hundred times stronger than before!
The improvement in strength also brought Xiao Chen immense confidence.
"This time, I will marry Mingyue and become the consort of the Panwu Divine Dynasty!"
"Whether it's Champion Hou or Jun Xiaoyao, they will all be trampled under my feet!"
"The final winner can only be me, Xiao Chen!"
