Chapter 96 - 96: The Divine Dynasty's Banquet is About to Begin, Forces from All Sides Rush Over, Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain's Prodigy Emerges
After finalizing his subsequent plans, Jun Xiaoyao, alone, rode the chariot pulled by the nine-headed lion, left the Jun family, and headed towards the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
He did not bring Jun Zhangjian and the others, not even Jun Linglong.
Because this time, Jun Xiaoyao wanted to act alone, and it was inconvenient to bring them along.
Just after Jun Xiaoyao left the Jun family.
The entire Immortal Domain gradually began to stir.
Because news spread from the Panwu Divine Dynasty that after half a month, a grand banquet would be held in the Forbidden City of the Panwu Divine Dynasty's imperial capital.
The Panwu Divine Dynasty would widely invite various forces from the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
At that time, the Panwu Divine Dynasty would also select Wu Mingyue's consort from among the young talents of the various forces.
Once this news came out, it stirred movements from all directions. Countless forces set off; various storied ships, chariots, and flying ancient beasts frequently streaked across the sky, heading towards the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
As an immortal divine dynasty with a powerful foundation, if one could marry its eldest princess and become the consort, it could almost be said to be an alliance.
Those top-tier orthodoxies wanted to ally with the Panwu Divine Dynasty to rise to a higher level.
And the immortal forces wanted to turn the Panwu Divine Dynasty into their own ally.
After all, one hand cannot clap alone. Even a powerful immortal force, without friendly forces, risked being besieged by other immortal orthodoxies.
For these various reasons, many forces were moved and prepared to let their disciples try their luck.
Not to mention that the Divine Dynasty's eldest princess, with her peerless beauty and grace, was also a stunning belle, already very popular and renowned throughout the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
The combination of these two reasons made the Panwu Divine Dynasty's banquet exceptionally grand.
But at the same time this news spread.
From Champion Hou's residence, Champion Hou Yang Pan spoke again.
He said that if the Divine Son of the Jun family dared not accept the challenge, then in the future, he would personally ascend the Jun family's mountain gate to challenge him.
Once this bombshell news came out, it stirred up even greater waves.
Many people felt that this Champion Hou was far too arrogant.
He even dared to go to the Jun family's mountain gate to block someone.
The last one who went to the Jun family's mountain gate to challenge, Long Haotian, the grass on his grave was already five zhang high.
Many female cultivators who worshipped Jun Xiaoyao were enraged.
"Champion Hou, that ugly bastard, is just jealous of my Xiaoyao's peerless beauty!"
"That's right, so what if he's strong? Doesn't he know this is an era where looks matter?"
"Besides, my Xiaoyao is also invincible among his peers. What does that Champion Hou count for?"
...
Desolate Ancient Jiang Family, within the clan lands.
"Detestable, detestable, too detestable! It's infuriating!"
A petite and delicate figure stomped her jade feet, so angry that the two ponytails behind her little head were sticking up.
Her delicate and spirited little face also bore a fiercely adorable little expression.
"Luoli, if you don't cultivate properly, you'll be confined to the clan lands forever."
Not far away, Jiang Shengyi, dressed in snow-white clothes, with an immortal and graceful bearing, walked over, looking at the fiercely adorable Jiang Luoli with a bit of a headache.
"Hmph, Luoli can't stand this! That Champion Hou actually spread such news, trying to slander Brother Xiaoyao!" Jiang Luoli pouted, her face full of indignation.
"It's just vile people making trouble. That Champion Hou's character is notoriously bad. You don't need to care, and Xiaoyao doesn't care either," Jiang Shengyi said.
The matter of Champion Hou challenging Jun Xiaoyao to a fight was widely spread in the Immortal Domain.
Although Jiang Luoli was in seclusion in the clan lands, she could still get news through her maids.
"No, I want to come out of seclusion and go to the Panwu Divine Dynasty!" Jiang Luoli said.
"What will you do there? Are you going to compete to be the consort?" Jiang Shengyi joked.
"I'm going to suppress that Champion Hou, stomp on his face hard to vent my anger, and see if he still dares to provoke Brother Xiaoyao!" Jiang Luoli said righteously.
"Oh? Is that all?" Jiang Shengyi smiled faintly, seeming to see through Jiang Luoli.
Hearing this, Jiang Luoli's pretty face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, twisting her two jade-like fingers together.
"Of course, although I know Brother Xiaoyao is unlikely to compete for any consort position, but, what if..." Jiang Luoli's tone was hesitant.
Evidently, Jiang Luoli was afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would go to the banquet, then compete for the position of consort, and marry Wu Mingyue.
After all, Wu Mingyue was also a very famous peerless beauty; almost no man could see Wu Mingyue and not be moved.
"This is your main purpose, isn't it?" Jiang Shengyi chuckled.
They weren't even married yet, and Jiang Luoli had already become a little mother hen protecting her food.
Jiang Luoli was so embarrassed by her words that her crystal-clear earlobes turned completely red.
"Alright, then I'll take you there," Jiang Shengyi smiled helplessly and rubbed Jiang Luoli's little head.
"Oh yeah! Sister Shengyi is the best!" Jiang Luoli smiled so widely that her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
Jiang Shengyi also smiled faintly, but deep within her eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible gloom.
"This girl really likes Xiaoyao a lot..."
...
On the other side, the Desolate Ancient Ye family's clan lands.
On the peak of a towering mountain, a blue-robed youth with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes was sitting cross-legged.
The sky above his head actually resembled a night canopy.
A brilliant river of stars flowed within the night canopy, beautiful and dreamlike, yet carrying an extremely dangerous aura.
This youth was none other than Ye Xingyun.
As early as Jun Xiaoyao's tenth birthday banquet, Ye Xingyun had been ruthlessly humiliated by Jun Xiaoyao, losing much face.
But Ye Xingyun, through misfortune, had gained a blessing, awakening some kind of memory.
And afterward, Ye Xingyun's personality also seemed to have undergone a subtle transformation, becoming more and more calm and introverted.
He was no longer as arrogant and ostentatious as before.
"Panwu Divine Dynasty, Champion Hou's challenge. With Jun Xiaoyao's personality, he will definitely not be absent." Ye Xingyun's eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered.
Although his personality had changed somewhat, his hatred had not changed.
Jun Xiaoyao, he would retaliate.
Jiang Luoli, he would also seize her.
"Never mind, I'll make a trip to the Panwu Divine Dynasty this time. It's also a good opportunity to ascertain that Jun Xiaoyao's true strength."
Ye Xingyun made up his mind and asked Uncle Fu to prepare the carriage.
...
Chizhou, a vast and ancient spiritual mountain range.
The entire spiritual mountain range covered an extremely wide area, shrouded in mist and clouds, with divine radiance everywhere.
There were crimson cliffs and strange rocks, precipitous peaks, colorful phoenixes flying, and luan birds circling. (TN: Luan bird is a mythical bird similar to a phoenix.)
As far as the eye could see, the end of the mountain range was not visible.
This area was precisely the clan land of one of the Archaic Royal Clans, Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain.
Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain was a top-tier Archaic Royal Clan on par with the Ancestral Dragon Nest, with a profound foundation and formidable strength.
And at this moment, within a mountain range, an old voice sounded.
"Huang Xuanyi, Feng Qingling, you two, make a trip to the Panwu Divine Dynasty. Remember, do not disgrace the name of our Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain."
"Yes, we respectfully obey the Great Elder's command!"
Within the mountain range, two figures, a man and a woman, enveloped in blazing divine light, soared into the sky.
Above in the sky, two dazzling golden luan birds pulled two chariots.
These two figures directly flashed and entered them.
"I really wonder if we'll be able to see that legendary Divine Son of the Jun family this time?" Inside the chariot, Feng Qingling said.
"Hah, I also want to see just what kind of person that Jun Xiaoyao is, who has caused the Ancestral Dragon Nest to lose face repeatedly," Huang Xuanyi said.
"However, we are not Long Haotian and Long Bichi," Feng Qingling let out a light chuckle.
"If Jun Xiaoyao underestimates us, I'm afraid he will suffer quite a bit..." Huang Xuanyi's tone was also very relaxed, carrying an air of composure and self-satisfaction.
