Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Those who go with the flow are ordinary, while those who go against it become extraordinary. Cultivation itself defies the heavens, so how can one simply conform to predetermined norms and live a mediocre life? Every time you break through these norms and change your own destiny, you will receive rewards.

Looking at the system prompt, Jiang Xuan pondered. No wonder he had faced so many tribulations in the past eighteen years... So he had been wrong all along?

As the rewards descended, Jiang Xuan's bloodline roared within him, emitting a brilliant divine radiance. It seemed to contain endless rules, clearly displaying its extraordinary nature.

Immediately, Jiang Xuan looked at the clan elder and spoke firmly, "This matter shall not be mentioned again. Even if Nangong Mingyue is just an ordinary person, I will protect her and ensure her worry-free longevity."

Then he issued the order to expel the guest, saying, "Clan elder, I have gained some insights. Please take your leave."

The clan elder's eyebrows trembled with anger, wanting to advise Jiang Xuan against acting impulsively. However, upon seeing Jiang Xuan's bloodline surging as if he had gained new insights, the clan elder immediately fell silent and left.

These are all later events, which are not as important as Jiang Xuan's own cultivation progress.

Leaving the Cave Mansion where Jiang Xuan was located, he returned to the ancestral hall of their lineage.

Many elders were present, and upon seeing the return of the clan elder, they looked at him with questioning eyes.

The clan elder hesitated, unable to speak, and shook his head with a long sigh. "Xuan'er refuses to annul the engagement and wishes to marry the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect's divine maiden."

"What?"

The elders' expressions froze, instantly showing disbelief. "That Nangong girl from the Nangong family has already become a useless person. How can she compare to the divine maiden of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect?"

The eldest elder sitting in the first seat frowned, his face showing seriousness. This was troublesome!

Forming an alliance with the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect was a major event for their lineage. It was not as simple as refusing. After all, with the status of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, actively proposing an alliance by name was already a gesture of lowering themselves. If they decisively refused, it would be like slapping the other party's face.

The Desolate Heaven Divine Sect would definitely be angry. How could they not be?

Once they became enraged, even if it was just a slight signal, it would greatly hinder Jiang Xuan's pursuit of the position of the Jiang family's divine son and successor clan leader.

The eldest elder's face darkened slightly, showing concern. "If Jiang Xuan really refuses the alliance, our lineage will definitely incur the wrath of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect. Our lineage has just started to flourish and cannot withstand the anger of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect!"

The clan elder's eyebrows trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "But this is Xuan'er's marriage. Naturally, we should prioritize his wishes."

"But..."

The eldest elder wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the clan elder. "Let's discuss it when Xuan'er comes out of seclusion."

Looking at the elders, the clan elder's tone became serious. "This matter is of great importance. It must not be leaked until a decision is made."

"Yes!" The elders' minds tightened, and they quickly agreed.

But their brows furrowed involuntarily, filled with confusion and worry.

In terms of talent, appearance, background, and potential, the Desolate Heaven divine maiden was far superior to Nangong Mingyue!

Why did Jiang Xuan insist on the Nangong family's girl and adamantly refuse to annul the engagement?

If they truly angered the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect... their lineage would face great difficulties. Jiang Xuan's pursuit of the position of clan leader would also become extremely challenging!

What was Jiang Xuan being stubborn about?

Although the clan elder strictly prohibited the leakage of information, there are no walls that don't let the wind through. The news of Jiang Xuan's refusal to marry the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect had already spread throughout the entire Jiang family within a few hours, thanks to the deliberate efforts of certain individuals.

For a while, the entire Jiang family was in an uproar.

Tens of thousands of clan members, from top to bottom, looked at Jiang Xuan's Cave Mansion with puzzled eyes.

What is he doing?

"Jiang Xuan actually refused?"

In Jiang Minghao's Cave Mansion, one of the four esteemed figures of the Jiang family, Jiang Minghao stood up in astonishment upon hearing the news. His eyes, filled with profound insight, pierced through the void and gazed at Jiang Xuan's lineage, staring for a long time.

His brows gradually furrowed, filled with doubt. Has Jiang Xuan gone mad?

Such a great opportunity, and he actually refused?

You must know that the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect is no weaker than their ancient sect, the Jiang family. It reigns over a vast region, holding the lives and deaths of billions of cultivators in its hands.

This generation's Desolate Heaven divine maiden has even awakened the rare Mystic Yin Sacred Body in thousands of years. With such high talent, she is on par with the first generation divine lord of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect.

Experts skilled in divination have speculated that once this generation's Desolate Heaven divine maiden rises, she may surpass the realm of true gods and dominate the Celestial Wonders Realm!

With such power and such a heavenly pride, Jiang Xuan actually decisively refused to marry her?

And all for the sake of a marriage contract?

Moreover, the other party in the marriage contract is a person who has severed their meridians and cannot cultivate!

"To waste such a fortuitous encounter, truly reckless!"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Minghao's lips as the stone weighing on his heart finally fell.

If Jiang Xuan's lineage truly forms an alliance with the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, Jiang Xuan will undoubtedly receive the support of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, which would be a tremendous pressure for them.

The strength of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect is on par with the Changsheng Jiang Family. As long as the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect sends a signal to support Jiang Xuan's lineage, the competition for the position of the Jiang Family's divine child and clan leader would be almost certain for Jiang Xuan.

For this reason, his lineage has even prepared for a desperate struggle.

In fact, the other two lineages are the same.

But unexpectedly... things have taken a turn. Jiang Xuan has actually refused the alliance with the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect.

Jiang Minghao pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering, and looked at the clan elder with a smile, saying, "Jiang Xuan's lineage has only recently risen. I wonder if they can withstand the wrath of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect?"

The clan elder understood and nodded slightly, smiling lightly, "I will pass on the message to the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect. If they have a falling out with Jiang Xuan's lineage, they are already defeated!"

Jiang Minghao nodded, stood with his hands behind his back, and appeared thoughtful.

A divine aura surrounded him, quite extraordinary.

As if he had thought of something, he added, "Also... please ask the clan elder to send a signal to the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect. I have had a long-standing relationship with the Desolate Heaven Goddess. If there is a chance, I would like to have a discussion with her."

The clan elder's eyes brightened at his words. The Desolate Heaven Divine Sect being rejected by Jiang Xuan's lineage would be a blow to their reputation, and if it were to spread, they might be ridiculed by countless forces in the Celestial Wonders Realm.

But if they were to go along with it and form an alliance with Jiang Xuan's lineage, it would still be seen as an alliance with the Changsheng Jiang Family, thus preserving the face of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect.

Moreover, Jiang Minghao and Jiang Xuan were both among the four esteemed figures of the Jiang Family, and in terms of talent, strength, and background, they were not inferior to Jiang Xuan in any aspect.

"I believe the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect will not refuse our goodwill!" the clan elder chuckled, stroking his beard.

At this moment, in Jiang Xuan's Cave Mansion.

Blood radiated with a brilliant light, like a gushing blood spring, flowing gently. The surging power of bloodline coursed through the heavens and earth.

Faintly, there were countless profound rules permeating from the void, slowly entering Jiang Xuan's body, refining his bloodline and tempering his physical body.

Buzz...

Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and a dazzling brilliance burst forth from his eyes, as if containing ancient mysteries.

"The concentration of my bloodline has reached seventy-seven..." Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile as he sensed his own bloodline.

The concentration of one's bloodline is innate and can hardly be improved in one's lifetime, unless one has an extraordinary opportunity to obtain those legendary treasures.

And in just a few hours, he has increased it by a full two percent.

Don't be fooled by the mere 2% increase; the change in his talent can be considered a significant transformation!

Among the four esteemed members of the Jiang family, he has always held the upper hand, vaguely suppressing the other three, all because his bloodline concentration reached 75, while the other three only reached around 70.

Now that he has once again increased by 2%, he can naturally suppress the other three more easily.

It is said that Jiang Minghao has recently had many opportunities and his strength has clearly improved. It seems that his cultivation has surpassed him. However, Jiang Xuan is confident that he can still easily defeat him.

[Bloodline concentration continues to increase. After three days, it will increase to 80%, undergo a bloodline transformation, and inherit the Seven Star Technique of the Star Ancestor.]

Looking at the prompt, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Goldfinger is really a good thing!"

But immediately after, Jiang Xuan thought of the matter of breaking off the engagement, and a hint of distress appeared in his eyes.

Not to mention Goldfinger's requirements, just the background of that person clearly indicates that she is a protagonist chosen by destiny. If he were to break off the engagement... Jiang Xuan would become a mini-boss villain in no time!

"No, I can't just sit here. I have to do something for my fiancée and increase her favorability." Jiang Xuan rubbed his chin and pondered.

Immediately, Jiang Xuan took out a piece of rice paper and used his own divine consciousness as a pen, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as ink, to write down some words full of concern and solemnly promised to fully respect the other party. If the other party has no intention of canceling the engagement, he will not give up.

"Come in."

A powerful member of the Jiang family at the Profound Earth realm walked in and bowed, "Greetings, Young Master Jiang Xuan."

Jiang Xuan personally sealed the envelope and at the same time took out a storage ring containing most of his recent collections. He handed them over to the other party and solemnly instructed, "Take this crane and deliver this letter to Nangong Mingyue as soon as possible!"

"Do not delay!"

"Yes!"

The Jiang family member nodded solemnly, turned around, and left the Cave Mansion. He summoned a crane at the Dao Fusion Realm level and flew out of the Jiang family's divine mountain, soaring high in the clouds, and quickly headed towards the border region of the Eastern Divine Continent where the Nangong family was located.

[You have once again broken a setting, gifting the protagonist chosen by destiny, assisting in her growth, successfully binding her. In the future, every time Nangong Mingyue gains enlightenment, you will also gain it, even doubled.]

[As Nangong Mingyue's strength increases, her luck will also improve. Once recognized by heaven and earth, you will also be recognized after binding.]

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. If the other party improves, he will also gain corresponding improvements?

You should know, she is the protagonist chosen by destiny!

Once Goldfinger is activated, his cultivation will skyrocket!

"... Did I pack too little?" Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and suddenly felt a bit regretful.
