Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 117: Mysterious Dao Protector Attacks, Harm to the Young Master Means Death Without Mercy!
Chapter 117 - 117: Mysterious Dao Protector Attacks, Harm to the Young Master Means Death Without Mercy!
The Jun family and the Jiang family were two of the three imperial families. (TN: 御三家 (yù sān jiā) often refers to the top three influential families or entities. Here it implies a very high standing.)
Their strength and foundation, even among the numerous Desolate Ancient families, were considered to be leaders.
Ordinary immortal orthodoxies dared not casually provoke them.
Furthermore, the Panwu Divine Dynasty had been in slight decline in recent years.
They hadn't even found their strategic weapon, the Emperor Weapon Panhuang Sword, yet.
Under these circumstances, if they truly provoked the two great families, the Panwu Divine Dynasty would pay an unimaginable price.
It might even trigger an immortal war.
For these various reasons, the Panwu Divine Lord forcefully suppressed his anger.
Only his eyes were extremely cold.
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, a cold sneer on his lips.
He just liked the way the Panwu Divine Lord couldn't stand him yet couldn't do anything about him.
"This brat..." The corner of the Panwu Divine Lord's eye twitched slightly.
Seeing the sneer on Jun Xiaoyao's lips, he really wanted to slap him.
But reason still made the Panwu Divine Lord restrain his killing intent.
Seeing the indifferent Panwu Divine Lord, the elders and seniors from the various surrounding forces all secretly took a breath.
It seemed the deterrent power of the Jun family was far stronger than they had imagined.
Jun Xiaoyao had humiliated and provoked him to such an extent, yet the Panwu Divine Lord was as timid as a turtle, not even daring to suppress him.
"Enough, Jun Xiaoyao! Since you look down on the position of the Divine Dynasty's consort, then leave! My Panwu Divine Dynasty doesn't necessarily need you!"
The Panwu Divine Lord flicked his sleeve, his tone indifferent.
This was already his last bit of face.
Jun Xiaoyao remained standing where he was, tilted his head slightly and said, "Panwu Divine Lord, didn't you understand clearly?"
"The status of consort, this Divine Son disdains."
"The Panwu Mausoleum, this Divine Son will also enter!"
"Insolence!" The Panwu Divine Lord's aura couldn't help but become chaotic.
He had already decided not to pursue the matter and let Jun Xiaoyao leave.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao was still pushing his luck like this.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian stepped forward and said coldly, "Panwu Divine Lord, watch your words. My Jun family's Divine Son is not someone anyone can casually reprimand."
The Panwu Divine Lord's face was icy.
At this moment, Wu Mingyue couldn't help but say, "Jun Xiaoyao, that's enough! Mingyue admits, Mingyue is not worthy of you, but please don't be unreasonable!"
"Unreasonable? Jun has always convinced people with reason. When have I ever been unreasonable?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly, feigning surprise.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao like this, Wu Mingyue ground her silver teeth in frustration.
Shameless!
Jun Xiaoyao was truly too shameless!
If Jun Xiaoyao truly reasoned with people, then pigs could climb trees!
"Fine! This Emperor would like to see what reasoning you can come up with. If you don't have any, then today's matter cannot be settled so easily!" the Panwu Divine Lord said coldly.
He had already backed down. If he continued to show weakness, what prestige would the Panwu Divine Dynasty have left?
"Isn't the reasoning simple enough?" A Light Shadow Stone appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's hand.
His gaze turned to the Third Prince, a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing this smile, the Third Prince's heart felt as if it were tied to a giant boulder, plummeting to the bottom of a valley.
A strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"No... impossible... absolutely not... he's trying to scare me..."
Cold sweat broke out on the Third Prince's back, and his legs began to tremble slightly.
Jun Xiaoyao poured mana into the Light Shadow Stone.
The primordial spirit image of the Youming Tian Blood-Clothed Assassin appeared.
Along with it, were the words he had spoken.
"It was the Panwu Divine Dynasty's... Third Prince... who bribed us Youming Tian assassins to assassinate you..."
The voice from the Light Shadow Stone spread throughout the entire Forbidden City.
For a moment, all was dead silent.
Countless people widened their eyes, looking at the scene in the Light Shadow Stone in disbelief.
"That Third Prince of the Panwu Divine Dynasty actually bribed assassins from Youming Tian to assassinate the Jun family's Divine Son?" An elder from a top-tier orthodoxy took a deep breath, extremely shocked.
"Is he courting death? What immortal orthodoxies忌讳 (taboo/dread) the most is their successors being assassinated by those killer assassins."
"It's over, this Third Prince is finished..."
Around them, after a brief dead silence, a heaven-shattering clamor erupted.
Everyone found it incredible, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to produce such evidence.
"This... how could it be?" Wu Mingyue's jade-like face also froze; she felt a chill run through her body.
Assassinate Jun Xiaoyao?
How much courage would it take to do such a thing?
The Panwu Divine Lord's expression was also one of astonishment; he no longer had his previous confidence.
Plop!
The Third Prince's legs gave way, and he sat down hard on the ground. His crotch was wet, and a strange odor emanated.
"No... it wasn't... I didn't, I don't know anything?" The Third Prince was sweating profusely, his face as pale as a dead person's, his body trembling like chaff.
"You did it, yet you dare not admit it? I have a witness, you know," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled lightly.
From the crowd, a peerlessly beautiful woman walked out; it was Tianqin Fairy.
She glanced coldly at the Third Prince and said, "Tianqin Fairy can testify. Previously at Xianqiong Pavilion, the Third Prince already harbored strong hostility towards Lord Divine Son."
"Afterward, Lord Divine Son indeed came to Tianqin Fairy's residence to play the qin and discuss the Dao. It must have been after Lord Divine Son left that he was assassinated."
Tianqin Fairy's words undoubtedly further solidified the truth of the matter.
"Tianqin Fairy, you..." Hearing this, the Third Prince almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He had painstakingly pursued Tianqin Fairy for a long time, even gifting her many treasures, willing to part even with Immortal Origin.
But now, Tianqin Fairy was actually setting him up like this, without a hint of hesitation.
Tianqin Fairy's jade-like face was cold, filled with disgust as she said, "What kind of peerless figure is Lord Divine Son? Is he someone you can assassinate just because you want to?"
After speaking, Tianqin Fairy turned her head, looked at Jun Xiaoyao, and immediately put on an obedient, smiling expression.
As if hoping to receive Jun Xiaoyao's praise and approval.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly and nodded faintly at Tianqin Fairy.
Tianqin Fairy also smiled, very content.
Seeing this scene, the Third Prince's face turned purple, and he finally spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The goddess in his heart had become Jun Xiaoyao's fawning bitch!
And now, the greater crisis had only just arrived.
After the evidence was established, Jun Xiaoyao said with a cold expression, "Panwu Divine Lord, your Divine Dynasty's Third Prince assassinated this Divine Son. How should this debt be settled?"
Jun Xiaoyao's words made the Panwu Divine Lord's face sink to the extreme. He turned to look at the Third Prince, wishing he could slap this unfilial son to death.
Today, the entire face of the Panwu Divine Dynasty had been utterly lost!
Wu Mingyue was also terrified, not expecting things to develop to this point.
Jun Zhantian and several other clan elders stepped forward, their old faces carrying anger and coldness, "Panwu Divine Lord, shouldn't you give our Jun family an explanation?"
The Panwu Divine Lord was actually forced to the point where he couldn't speak.
However, just at this moment.
A qin music killing blade suddenly tore through the air from the distant sky!
The target was, surprisingly, the Third Prince!
"Who is it?!" The Panwu Divine Lord reacted, but it was already too late.
Pfft!
The killing blade swept past, blood splashing into the sky!
The Third Prince's head was severed from his body, his head thrown high into the air!
His face still bore expressions of shock, doubt, fear, and lingering terror.
"Damn it, who dares to kill my son!" The Panwu Divine Lord was furious, his aura erupting.
A voice as cold as frost came from the depths of the void.
"Anyone who dares to harm the Young Master will be killed without mercy!"
