Chapter 97 - 97: The Guiding Young Woman Qin Xuan, Above the Imperial City, the Pinnacle of the Forbidden City, One Can Look Forward to It
Just as the entire Immortal Domain was stirring with activity.
Jun Xiaoyao, at the center of the storm, was about to reach the imperial capital of the Panwu Divine Dynasty. frёewebnoѵēl.com
He had passed through several teleportation arrays midway and arrived at Panwu Dao Prefecture.
The imperial capital of the Panwu Divine Dynasty was located in the central region of Panwu Dao Prefecture.
There was still a little less than half a month left, enough time for Jun Xiaoyao's subsequent arrangements.
At this moment, the voice of the Nine-Headed Lion came from outside the chariot.
"Master, ahead is the imperial capital of the Panwu Divine Dynasty."
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao lifted the curtain of the carriage to look.
Ahead, an immensely magnificent and colossal city stood upon the earth.
The entire giant city was boundless, its city walls like the Great Wall, extending infinitely to the left and right.
Within the imperial capital, pavilions and towers, bustling markets, and surging crowds of people could be seen.
Numerous floating islands were even suspended in the sky, with palaces scattered upon them, resembling divine palaces and immortal abodes.
"This Panwu Divine Dynasty, truly worthy of being an immortal divine dynasty, does possess a certain grandeur," Jun Xiaoyao observed.
Immortal orthodoxies were transcendent and superior, a_behemoth in the Immortal Domain, and each one was not simple.
It was precisely because of this that although the Jun family and the Ancestral Dragon Nest had deep-seated hatred, they had never initiated an immortal war.
Because both sides knew that completely eradicating an immortal force was not such a simple matter.
Of course, strictly speaking, it was the Ancestral Dragon Nest that was more wary of the Jun family.
As for the Panwu Divine Dynasty, the orthodoxy founded by Emperor Panwu back then, although it was not at its most prosperous period, it had not declined much either.
Jun Xiaoyao's figure descended from the sky, and the Nine-Headed Lion broke free from its reins, following Jun Xiaoyao.
"Gousheng, aren't you being a bit too conspicuous like this?" Jun Xiaoyao glanced sideways. (TN: "狗剩" Gǒu shèng is a somewhat rustic and potentially demeaning nickname, literally "dog leftover.")
The Nine-Headed Lion's entire body was as if cast from gold, emitting a golden light that was almost blinding, too dazzlingly brilliant.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to become like a monkey in a zoo, being gawked at by people.
Moreover, some of the things he needed to do were not convenient to be too high-profile about.
"Master, can you please not call me by my real name?" the Nine-Headed Lion whispered, sounding dejected.
Then, its body suddenly shrank, and finally, under Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, it transformed into a...
Er... Shiba Inu.
That's right, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, it looked no different from a Shiba Inu.
Except, it was a nine-headed Shiba Inu, which looked somewhat strange and comical.
"Is this a walking emoji pack? Never mind," Jun Xiaoyao sighed lightly.
At least a nine-headed Shiba Inu was not so ostentatious.
Jun Xiaoyao, with his hands behind his back, as if strolling leisurely through a courtyard, entered the imperial capital through the city gate.
The Divine Dynasty soldiers guarding the city gate all showed looks of surprise and suspicion when they saw Jun Xiaoyao, not daring to stop him.
Because Jun Xiaoyao's aura was truly too transcendent.
A faint divine radiance surrounded his body, and immortal brilliance enveloped him. His entire being exuded an immortal charm and Dao intent.
This was naturally due to the Da Luo Immortal Bone he had refined.
Jun Xiaoyao's appearance was also veiled by immortal brilliance, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
Just like that, Jun Xiaoyao entered the imperial capital without any obstruction.
Only after Jun Xiaoyao had left did a young guard ask doubtfully, "Captain, why didn't you stop that person to check his identity? The higher-ups stipulated that all cultivators entering the city must be checked."
"You reckless fool, can someone like that be casually stopped and checked? Perhaps he's a prodigy from some immortal orthodoxy, with a status no lower than the Eldest Princess!" The captain of the guards glared at him.
"Oh, is that so." The young guard nodded repeatedly, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.
After Jun Xiaoyao entered the imperial capital, he also attracted many gazes.
Although his appearance was veiled by an indistinct mist, that kind of aura could not be concealed.
Many young maidens and female cultivators from major forces couldn't help but glance at Jun Xiaoyao from the corners of their eyes.
Although many people in the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain knew of Jun Xiaoyao's name.
Very few had actually seen him.
Furthermore, many disciples from immortal orthodoxies, possessing King Physiques, Divine Physiques, and so on, were also enveloped in mist and aura.
It couldn't be that everyone enveloped in immortal light was Jun Xiaoyao, right?
Therefore, no one saw through his identity.
At this moment, a young woman dressed in a simple green cloth skirt, with hesitation in her expression, finally gritted her teeth, braced herself, and walked forward.
"Young Master, this must be your first time in the Divine Dynasty's imperial capital. Qin Xuan can guide you and help you understand various situations."
The young woman named Qin Xuan had trepidation in her expression.
She had also guided many disciples from major forces, but this was the first time she had encountered someone as mysterious and transcendent as Jun Xiaoyao.
The other female cultivators only dared to watch from afar, lacking the courage to approach.
"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Qin Xuan, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Qin Xuan was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, yet her cultivation was at the peak of the Divine Bridge realm.
He noticed this but didn't say anything.
"Alright, you can lead the way then." Jun Xiaoyao casually took out a piece of top-grade Divine Origin stone.
The surrounding crowd of onlookers was stunned.
"Holy crap, that's a top-grade Divine Origin stone! That Young Master is too wealthy, isn't he?"
"He's definitely a successor from some immortal force! Sigh, I really envy that young lady!"
Many exclamations sounded from the surroundings. Many female cultivators bit their lips and stomped their feet, secretly cursing themselves for missing the opportunity.
Qin Xuan's small mouth was also slightly agape, appearing somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was very calm.
Because top-grade Divine Origin stones were already the most common currency he carried.
"Young Master, let me tell you about the recent news. In a few days, the banquet for the Eldest Princess of the Divine Dynasty to select her consort will be held."
"And that Champion Hou will challenge the Divine Son of the Jun family at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City."
"I hear that Divine Son of the Jun family is like a celestial being, possessing an invincible demeanor among his peers."
When Qin Xuan spoke of Jun Xiaoyao, her beautiful eyes were filled with longing.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao was already the dream of hundreds of millions of young women in the Immortal Domain.
The Nine-Headed Lion following beside them had a strange look in its eyes.
If this young lady knew that the person next to her was the Divine Son of the Jun family whom she admired and longed for, she would probably faint from excitement, right?
However, next, when she mentioned Champion Hou, her emotions were clearly off, showing fluctuations.
It seemed as if there was a hint of hatred within.
Jun Xiaoyao saw this and casually asked, "If the Divine Son of the Jun family really accepts the challenge, who do you hope will win?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's eyes filled with deep-seated hatred, and she said without hesitation, "Qin Xuan hopes the Divine Son of the Jun family will win, and even... kill that Champion Hou!"
A strange glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes as he said, "At your age, to have cultivation at the peak of the Divine Bridge realm, your background shouldn't be simple. How did you end up guiding people?"
Qin Xuan clenched her fists, her voice slightly heavy, "I was originally from the Marquis Qintian's residence. My father was Marquis Qintian of the Divine Dynasty."
"And my mother was a rather famous beauty in the Divine Dynasty. Later, Champion Hou took a fancy to her and wanted to take her into his harem. My father refused, and then he was killed by him. My mother also died for love."
"The entire Marquis's residence fell into decline, and I could only wander outside," Qin Xuan whispered, the hatred in her eyes too deep to be resolved.
"So that's how it is." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He didn't feel too much sympathy. After all, there were too many people in this world worthy of sympathy.
Jun Xiaoyao wasn't the kind of saintly mother who would pity every tragic person he saw.
"I'm sorry, I've said so many private things. It must have displeased Young Master," Qin Xuan regained her composure and forced a smile.
"Don't you want revenge?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Revenge? Champion Hou is like a local emperor in the Panwu Divine Dynasty. Who can take revenge on him?" Qin Xuan said with a bitter tone, feeling extremely powerless.
"Above the Imperial City, the pinnacle of the Forbidden City. At that time, perhaps you can look forward to it."
Jun Xiaoyao whispered softly, and with his hands behind his back, he leisurely walked ahead.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao's back, Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned.
She didn't quite understand what Jun Xiaoyao meant by those words.
