Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Mysterious Guardian Strikes—No Mercy for Those Who Threaten the Young Master! (Second Update)
The Jun Family and Jiang Family are two of the Three Royal Families.
In terms of strength and heritage, they are leaders among the Ancient Desolate Families.
Ordinary Immortal Daoist Lineages dare not provoke them lightly.
What’s more, the Panwu Divine Dynasty has been somewhat in decline in recent years.
Even the strategic weapon, the Emperor’s Panhuang Sword, has temporarily not been found.
Under such circumstances, if they really provoked the two great families, the Panwu Divine Dynasty will pay an unimaginable price.
It might even trigger an Immortal Battle.
Thus, the Panwu Divine Lord forcefully suppressed his anger.
Only his eyes were extremely cold.
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, looking composed, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He liked the look of the Panwu Divine Lord hating him but unable to do anything about it.
"That brat..." The Panwu Divine Lord’s eye twitched slightly.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao’s smile, he really wanted to slap him.
But rationality still made the Panwu Divine Lord restrain his killing intent.
Seeing the unmoved Panwu Divine Lord, elders and seniors from various surrounding forces secretly took a deep breath.
It seems the Jun Family’s deterrent force is far stronger than they imagined.
Jun Xiaoyao had humiliated and provoked him so much, yet the Panwu Divine Lord was still as timid as a turtle, not daring to suppress him.
"Enough, Jun Xiaoyao, since you look down on the position of Prince Consort of the Divine Dynasty, then leave, my Panwu Divine Dynasty doesn’t necessarily need you!"
The Panwu Divine Lord waved his sleeve, his tone cold.
This was already his last bit of dignity.
Jun Xiaoyao still stood in place, tilting his head slightly and said: "Panwu Divine Lord, didn’t you understand?"
"The identity of Prince Consort, I, the Divine Son, disdain."
"I, the Divine Son, also want to enter the Panwu Mausoleum!"
"Impudent!" The Panwu Divine Lord’s aura couldn’t help but become chaotic.
He had already let it go and allowed Jun Xiaoyao to leave.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao continued to push his luck.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian stepped forward coldly and said: "Panwu Divine Lord, watch your words. Not everyone can casually berate the Jun Family’s Divine Son."
The Panwu Divine Lord’s face froze.
At this point, Wu Mingyue couldn’t help but say: "Jun Xiaoyao, enough. Ming Yue admits, Ming Yue is not worthy of you, but please don’t create trouble without reason!"
"Creating trouble without reason? Jun Mou always convinces others through reason, when have I ever created trouble without reason?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and feigned surprise.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao like this, Wu Mingyue angrily gritted her silver teeth.
Shameless!
Jun Xiaoyao was truly too shameless!
If Jun Xiaoyao were truly reasonable, pigs could climb trees!
"Fine, I, the Emperor, must see what reason you can present, if none, then today this matter cannot just be settled!" The Panwu Divine Lord said coldly.
He had already compromised, if he continued to show weakness, what authority would the Panwu Divine Dynasty have?
"Isn’t the reason simple?" A piece of Light and Shadow Stone appeared in Jun Xiaoyao’s hand.
He turned his gaze to the Third Prince, a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing this smile, the Third Prince’s heart felt as if tied to a boulder, falling to the depths of despair.
A strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"Impossible... Absolutely not... He is scaring me..."
Cold sweat broke out on the Third Prince’s back, his legs beginning to tremble slightly.
Jun Xiaoyao infused Mana into the Light and Shadow Stone.
The Primordial Spirit Shadow of the Netherworld Heaven Blood Robe Assassin appeared.
Together with the words he spoke.
"It’s the Panwu Divine Dynasty... Third Prince... bribed our Netherworld Heaven assassins to assassinate you..."
The sound from the Light and Shadow Stone spread across the entire Forbidden City.
For a moment, silence enveloped the scene.
Countless people widened their eyes, unable to believe what they saw in the Light and Shadow Stone.
"That Panwu Divine Dynasty Third Prince, actually bribed the Netherworld Heaven assassins to assassinate the Jun Family’s Divine Son?" A top-level Daoist Lineage elder took a deep breath, deeply shocked.
"This is courting death. The most taboo for Immortal Daoist Lineages is their successor being assassinated by those killers."
"Finished, this Third Prince is finished..."
The surroundings erupted into a thunderous noise after a brief silence.
Everyone found it incredible, unexpected that Jun Xiaoyao would present such evidence.
"This... how could it be?" Wu Mingyue’s face froze as well, feeling a chill over her body.
Assassin of Jun Xiaoyao?
How much courage does it take to do such a thing?
The Panwu Divine Lord’s expression was equally shocked, losing his earlier confidence completely.
Thud!
The Third Prince’s legs gave way, his backside hit the ground, and his pants were wet, emitting a strange odor.
"No... no, I didn’t, I don’t know anything?" The Third Prince was drenched in sweat, his face pale as a ghost, trembling like a sieve.
"Did it but dare not admit it? I have witnesses." Jun Xiaoyao laughed softly.
From the crowd, a stunning woman stepped out, none other than the Celestial Zither Maiden.
Her beautiful eyes coldly glanced at the Third Prince and said: "Celestial Zither Maiden can testify, before in the Immortal Jade Tower, the Third Prince harbored strong animosity toward Lord Divine Son."
"Afterward, Lord Divine Son indeed came to the Celestial Zither Maiden’s abode, to discuss Dao through music. I suppose it was after Lord Divine Son left, he was then assassinated."
The Celestial Zither Maiden’s words undoubtedly further confirmed the authenticity of the matter.
"Celestial Zither Maiden, you..." The Third Prince nearly spat blood at her words.
He had pursued the Celestial Zither Maiden for a long time, giving many treasures, even sacrificing Immortal Origin willingly.
Yet now, the Celestial Zither Maiden betrayed him without hesitation.
The Celestial Zither Maiden’s expression was cold, with an underlying disgust: "Lord Divine Son is an unmatched figure, how could you assassinate him at will?"
After speaking, the Celestial Zither Maiden turned toward Jun Xiaoyao, immediately adopting a sweet smile as if looking for praise and acknowledgment.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly, nodding gracefully at the Celestial Zither Maiden.
The Celestial Zither Maiden also smiled, deeply satisfied.
Witnessing this, the Third Prince’s face turned purple, finally spewing a mouthful of old blood.
The goddess in his heart has become Jun Xiaoyao’s lapdog!
And now, an even bigger crisis is yet to come.
With evidence laid out, Jun Xiaoyao coldly said: "Panwu Divine Lord, your Divine Dynasty’s Third Prince attempted to assassinate me; how will you settle this account?"
Jun Xiaoyao’s words plunged the Panwu Divine Lord’s expression to an extreme. He turned to look at the Third Prince, desperately wanting to strike this rebellious son dead.
Today, the Panwu Divine Dynasty’s face is utterly lost!
Wu Mingyue was also fearful, not expecting the situation to escalate to this point.
Jun Zhantian and several Clan Elders came forward, old faces bearing anger and coldness: "Panwu Divine Lord, should you not provide our Jun Family an accounting?"
The Panwu Divine Lord was momentarily driven to silence.
But just then.
From the distant sky, a Zither Sound Killing Blade suddenly shot forth!
The target was the Third Prince!
"Who is it?!" The Panwu Divine Lord reacted, but it was already too late.
Slash!
The killing blade swept across, blood splattering the sky!
The Third Prince’s head separated, tossed high into the air!
His face remained filled with shock, puzzlement, fear, and regret.
"Damn it, who dares to kill my son!" The Panwu Divine Lord roared with fury, his aura exploding.
A voice cold as frost came from the depths of the void.
"Those who dare harm the Young Master, kill without mercy!"
