Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Chapter Forty-Second: Entering The Royal City And Killing

The true mysterious realm is in the hands of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, which is in the Southern Divine Continent.

Between the various major divine continents of the Celestial Wonders Realm, they are all separated by chaotic spatial currents. With Jiang Xuan's current cultivation level, if he wants to cross realms, he can only do so through the teleportation arrays between the divine continents.

As a prominent family, the Jiang Family naturally has its own cross-realm teleportation array.

However, Jiang Xuan does not want to expose his whereabouts, let alone his purpose for going to the Southern Divine Continent.

Therefore, he chooses to first go to the royal city and then use the cross-realm teleportation array there to go to the Southern Divine Continent.

"Daddy, where are we going?" The little girl holds Jiang Xuan's hand and asks curiously.

The guardian hidden in the void also listens attentively. He is also curious why the young clan leader is not staying at the Jiang Family and secretly sneaks out. What does he want to do?

The recent Eastern Divine Continent is not peaceful.

Various factions are still offering rewards and hunting Jiang Xuan.

Indeed, due to the deterrence of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, most of the top factions have withdrawn their rewards for Jiang Xuan, but it is only the withdrawal of the rewards.

The conflict has already begun and it will not end so easily.

Especially... the Pure Yang Sword Palace, the Sky-killing Hall, and the Immortal Zhao Family, these three top factions have been suppressing the Jiang Family without reservation, and they have even become more blatant about it!

Jiang Xuan's secret entry into the world is full of danger!

But Jiang Xuan does not explain anything to them, he just smiles and says, "I'm taking you out for a walk."

On the other side, in the Jiang Family's dojo where Jiang Qiankun is located.

"Reporting to the Young Venerable, the young clan leader... has disappeared!" The disciple who was ordered to monitor Jiang Xuan reports.

Jiang Qiankun's eyes slightly open, the Yin and Yang energies intertwine in his eyes, and his aura has become even stronger. The failure of the ancestral trial seems to have had no effect on him.

"Can you track where he went?" Jiang Qiankun asks indifferently.

"I'm sorry, I lost sight of the young clan leader while I was monitoring him...," the disciple trembles as he speaks.

"Understood, you may leave."

"Yes." The disciple bows and leaves.

Jiang Qiankun's eyes narrow slightly, a cold light flickers in his eyes. The Jiang Family is not that big, Jiang Xuan cannot disappear without reason and lose his trace.

Obviously, Jiang Xuan has already left the Jiang Family!

"At this critical stage, he actually dares to enter the world alone? He really doesn't know the severity of the situation!" Jiang Qiankun sneers, then he passes on the news of Jiang Xuan leaving the Jiang Family to the Yin Yang Sacred Land.

After receiving the news, the Lord of the Yin Yang Sacred Land quickly formulates a response.

An ambush targeting Jiang Xuan slowly unfolds.

...

The royal city is located in the center of the Eastern Divine Continent. It is a magnificent ancient city that has been passed down since ancient times. It is jointly controlled by the long-lived Jiang Family, the long-lived Wang Family, and the immortal Zhao Family.

The long-lived Wang Family has long announced its seclusion, and only a small number of worldly members are stationed in the royal city.

The long-lived Jiang Family and the immortal Zhao Family each have a branch in the royal city.

Due to the deep-seated enmity between the two families, the two branches often clash with each other, vying for control of the royal city.

It can be said that although the royal city is prosperous and accommodates nearly ten million cultivators, beneath this prosperity and peace, there are hidden undercurrents and lurking dangers.

Three days later.

Jiang Xuan finally arrived at the royal city.

Looking up at the towering royal city, which spans thirty thousand zhang and reaches into the clouds, the gray-brown walls exude a desolate atmosphere of the passing years.

"Legend has it that the royal city was the foundation of the human race. Countless human ancestors fought against foreign enemies here, resisting for thirty thousand years, and finally drove out all the foreign enemies from the Profound Heaven." Jiang Xuan stares at the royal city and murmurs to himself, "I wonder if this legend is true or false."

After sighing, Jiang Xuan takes the little girl's hand and enters the royal city along with the crowded flow of people.

There is a large defensive formation laid down by ancient Saints in the royal city, creating a restricted airspace. Without reaching the Heavenly Origin Realm, one cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and naturally cannot fly. They can only travel on foot.

This is to facilitate the management of the royal city and to restrain the people in the royal city, preventing riots from occurring.

Arriving at the cultivation inn arranged by the Jiang Family, Jiang Xuan rents a Cave Mansion and plans to stay for one night.

The cross-realm teleportation array in the royal city only opens once every ten days.

If one arrives too early or too late, they can only wait.

His luck is not bad, the teleportation array will open again tomorrow.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan has already changed his appearance and aura through the Heavenly Manifestation Technique. He disguises himself as an ordinary independent cultivator. Not only the cultivators passing by him, but even the Jiang Family members managing this cultivation inn do not recognize his identity.

From the innkeeper, Jiang Xuan obtained the Cave Mansion token and prepared to enter the Cave Mansion. However, at this moment, the commotion outside caught his attention.

It was obvious that people from different factions were besieging disciples from one faction.

The battle was intense, spreading from the outer city to the inn.

It even breached the inn.

However... the innkeeper had already cleared them all out.

It was clear that the innkeeper was worried about the besieged disciples, but perhaps due to certain rules, he couldn't directly intervene.

Yes, the besieged ones were disciples of the Jiang family.

And the disciples from the different factions belonged to various major sects, with the Immortal Zhao family being the main one.

The cultivators resting in the inn seemed unfazed by this. Not only did they not avoid it, but they also chatted with interest.

"The Immortal Zhao family is really generous. They've put a bounty on the Jiang family's prodigy. I'm drooling just thinking about the reward!" a middle-aged Independent Cultivator happily said.

"Who wouldn't be?" someone agreed. "Capturing any Jiang family disciple rewards three thousand spirit stones. Killing a prodigy rewards one hundred thousand spirit stones, a Heavenly Rank technique, and the opportunity to join the Zhao family and receive their protection."

"Killing one of the four prodigies grants the treatment of a core disciple and the chance to be taught by a quasi-godly expert."

"Killing a Jiang family genius bone directly rewards a Dao medicine and a quasi-Saint Grade inheritance!"

"With such rewards, who wouldn't be tempted?"

"But... the Jiang family is not easy to provoke. With our limited abilities, let alone capturing a Jiang family disciple, we would probably end up as cannon fodder if we went there!"

Another person chuckled, "Who let the Jiang family become so prominent recently?"

"First, there's the young clan leader Jiang Xuan, favored by the Desolate Heaven Goddess. Then, there's a freak with a bloodline reversion. And now... there's a bone freak who seems to be the reincarnation of a divine spirit."

"The Jiang family suddenly has so many freaks. Those ancient sects and holy lands definitely won't sit still!"

"Especially the Immortal Zhao family, they have always been archenemies with the Jiang family. How could they sit idly by while the Jiang family grows stronger? The high bounty is clearly a result of the Jiang family pushing them to their limits!"

"The Jiang family has also put up bounties on the Immortal Zhao family and those other factions. But the Zhao family has united several factions, so the Jiang family is a bit isolated!"

"..."

Jiang Xuan frowned and looked at the innkeeper, asking coldly, "What exactly is going on?"

With multiple factions besieging Jiang family disciples, why was the innkeeper ignoring it?

The innkeeper was taken aback, his face showing a hint of displeasure.

After all, he was also from the Jiang family. As the manager of the inn in the capital city, even the leaders of ordinary second-rate forces had to be polite to him. As a mere Independent Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, where did he get the confidence to speak to him in such a tone?

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's expression twisted, and under the mysterious Dao rhythm, he transformed into the appearance of Jiang Qiankun, even his aura was indistinguishable.

When away from home, killing and seizing treasures, a false identity was best used, especially Jiang Qiankun, who already had grievances with him. Using his identity would relieve any psychological burden.

If something happened, it would all be Jiang Qiankun's fault.

After the ancestral land trial, although he hadn't had a chance to kill Jiang Qiankun, it would be great to disgust him now.

"Qiankun... Young Lord Qiankun!"

The innkeeper's face suddenly paled, his legs trembling, and he quickly bowed, "Jiang... Young Lord Qiankun, I pay my respects!"

The entire inn fell silent.

Everyone's gaze converged on Jiang Qiankun, filled with awe.

Even the few people who were discussing the bounty were drenched in cold sweat and fell to their knees with a "thump."

"Young Lord, spare us, spare us!"

Jiang Xuan glanced coldly at the crowd, then turned his gaze to the innkeeper. "What exactly is going on? Why are these disciples from various factions allowed to besiege the disciples of my Jiang family?"

The innkeeper trembled, his voice trembling, "Reporting to Young Lord, there is a prohibition in the capital city. Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage are not allowed to engage in private fights within the city. Otherwise, the city's protective array will automatically strangle them!"

Currently, it was only a battle among the younger generation. If it involved the older generation of cultivators, then... it would be a full-scale war that no faction could afford.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Xuan's eyes turned cold. "So, it's only forbidden for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage and below can still fight?"

"Yes... that's right." The innkeeper lowered his head.

Jiang Xuan was speechless. This so-called prohibition in the capital city was really arbitrary.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated and turned into a divine radiance, rushing out of the inn to confront the various factions besieging the Jiang family disciples.

He was going to unleash a massacre!
