Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Central area of the first ancient city.

Five human monuments merged into one, suspended in mid-air, emanating a vast aura.

Suddenly, the human monument trembled lightly, bursting forth with a milky white radiance, forming a deep rift in the void.

Jiang Chen and the other three miscreants were thrown out, landing on the ground with a turbulent aura, their faces filled with nostalgia and resentment.

Why would such a beautiful fairy submit to Jiang Xuan instead of them?

What are they lacking compared to Jiang Qiankun?

Jiang Ming, the city lord, hurriedly stepped forward, mobilizing the power of the earth veins to stabilize Jiang Chen's aura, anxiously asking, "My son, did you subdue the human monument?"

The other three city lords asked similar questions.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at his father, his eyes slightly lowered, shaking his head with a sad expression. He hadn't fully recovered from Ling'er's charm, his mind filled with Ling'er's enchanting smile like a blooming lotus.

Jiang Ming, the city lord, looked slightly stiff, somewhat incredulous. If it wasn't his son who subdued the human monument, then who else had the qualifications? His son possessed the eighty-fold concentration of the Jiang family's bloodline and had reached the second level of the Profound Earth realm, enough to surpass the other three miscreants, let alone Jiang Qiankun from the outside world!

Who, besides the eight major royal bloodlines, could compare to him in guarding the Jiang family's bloodline?

The other three city lords were delighted and quickly asked about the miscreants from their respective bloodlines.

But the answer they received was a sad shake of the head.

Jiang Ming and the other three city lords looked at each other, their expressions darkening. If it wasn't the miscreants from their bloodlines, then... that damn Jiang Qiankun?!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Instinctively, Jiang Ming and the others refused to believe it.

Not to mention that damn Jiang Qiankun only had the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation realm, even if he came from the outside world, his bloodline was far inferior to the miscreants from their bloodlines!

Even if the spirit of the human monument was blind, it wouldn't choose Jiang Qiankun!

Jiang Heng and the others from their bloodline had smiles on their faces.

Very subtle smiles.

After all, it was only natural for the Young King to subdue the human monument.

The girl glanced at Jiang Ming and the other three city lords, muttering in a strange tone, "My father is so strong, isn't it normal for him to subdue a human monument?"

"Do you need to make such a fuss?"

"I've never seen the world!"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Jiang Ming and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, feeling a bit at a loss.

At this moment.

The human monument once again rippled with brilliance, and an ancient mark slowly flew out of the rift.

Boom!

A domineering knife intent suddenly burst forth, like a tidal wave, splitting the entire sky in half!

The ancient mark dispersed into substantial knife qi, quickly condensing into a burly figure.

The Ancestor of the Blade!

On the dignified face of the Ancestor of the Blade, there was an undisguised excitement and joy. He was very glad that he was the first to step forward and impress the Young King, allowing the Young King to choose him and allow him to follow closely.

"But..." The Ancestor of the Blade raised his eyes slightly, looking at this world, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

This world was too broken, with more than half of the rules of heaven and earth missing, resulting in the shackles of realms. Even with the human monument as the source of energy, he could only display the strength of the Profound Earth realm.

"It doesn't matter. Even if my cultivation is suppressed to the Profound Earth realm, I can still kill with one slash!" The Ancestor of the Blade thought to himself.

Immediately, the Knife Ancestor faced the crack, bowed, and said with a commanding voice, "Welcome, Young King!"

Jiang Chen and the other four disciples, as if triggered, suddenly regained their senses. Their eyes were filled with unease as they reluctantly bowed and said, "Welcome, Young King!"

They had already acknowledged Jiang Qiankun's exceptional talent, and they were indeed inferior to him.

But... the allure of the Spirit of the Human Stele was too great!

They still hadn't fully recovered from their obsession. They felt dissatisfied in their hearts. Jiang Qiankun's talent was indeed strong, but his appearance was ordinary. How could he compare to them, who were talented and had illustrious backgrounds?

Jiang Heng's smile became even brighter as he bowed and said, "Welcome, Young King!"

However, Jiang Mingcheng and the others were still in shock from the intimidation of the Knife Ancestor. They hadn't reacted yet. After all... this was an ancient mark, and its aura was terrifying to the extreme. Even those at the peak of the Profound Earth realm felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were unable to contend with it.

What happened inside the Human Stele?

Why would such an ancient mark of a powerful being appear?!

Welcome, Young King?

Which Young King?

That Jiang Qiankun who suffered a thousand cuts?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The Knife Ancestor clearly noticed the "rebellion" of these few individuals. His eyebrows furrowed, displeasure evident on his face. With a casual move, he invoked the laws of the Great Dao, manifesting a broad knife and placing it against the necks of Jiang Mingcheng and the others, coldly shouting, "Have you lost your minds?"

"Hurry up and welcome the Young King!"

The laws of the Knife Dao raged, filled with domineering power and a chilling killing intent.

Jiang Mingcheng and the others trembled in fear, feeling that death was just a hair's breadth away.

Without any hesitation, they quickly bowed, their heads almost touching the ground, shouting with all their might, "Welcome, Young King!"

Soon, Jiang Xuan walked out of the crack.

After glancing at the Knife Ancestor, he felt quite satisfied. Leaving aside everything else, just this point alone proved that the Knife Ancestor knew how to handle things!

With a wave of his hand, he awakened the Human Stele, rapidly shrinking it into a tiny jade talisman that flew into his brow, sealing the curse totem.

Then, he looked at the people who were bowing to welcome him and said calmly, "Rise."

Everyone stood up, looking at Jiang Xuan with astonishment and uncertainty. Could it be that this guy really subdued the Human Stele?!

Jiang Mingcheng and the others finally realized what had happened and trembled with fear.

This guy was the damn Young King!

As the guardians of the clan, they had betrayed their mission. Just this alone was enough for them to die without regret!

Moreover, they had caused a lot of trouble for the Young King today, and they had even harbored thoughts of killing him...

Jiang Mingcheng and the others were now filled with despair.

And there was an ancient powerhouse standing beside them. They were completely powerless against him.

What should they do?

Jiang Heng glanced at the four people who looked ashen-faced, smiled with some regret, and instead of adding fuel to the fire, he took the initiative to step forward and respectfully said, "Young King, as we agreed beforehand, the five branches of the Jiang family will reunite. Whoever subdues the Human Stele will be recognized and unconditionally respected as the clan leader."

Jiang Mingcheng and the others' eyes lit up as they gratefully looked at Jiang Heng. Then, they quickly said with respect, "Young King, as Jiang Heng said, we are willing to honor you as the clan leader of the Jiang family and serve you with all our efforts!"

Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Heng in surprise. This guy had been almost cut in half, yet he was now helping the other side speak?

Jiang Heng lowered his eyes, avoiding Jiang Xuan's gaze.

He naturally remembered the persecution his branch had suffered from the other four branches. He hated it deeply.

But... for the sake of the Young King, he was willing to let go of this hatred.

After all, the power of Jiang Ming and the other four branches should not be underestimated. If they could be led by the Young King, they would undoubtedly provide significant assistance.

Especially in the current situation, with the opening of the Divine Abyss, there were countless treasures and opportunities. If the Young King could lead the entire Jiang family, they would be able to sweep away those external geniuses and monsters and monopolize all the treasures and opportunities in the Divine Abyss!

What was even more crucial was that the power to protect the clan, although currently limited, was only temporary.

This was because the restrictions of this world would be lifted once they left, and all five branches would experience a tremendous increase in strength, rapidly advancing and forming a formidable force.
