Upon hearing the news, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
Since his birth, Jun Xiaoyao had suppressed all adversaries, remaining undefeated and presenting himself to the world in an invincible manner.
Many believed that Jun Xiaoyao would be one of the top figures among the younger generation in the Immortal Domain.
Yet now, Princess Longji had actually declared that Jun Xiaoyao should obediently surrender and come before her to meet his demise.
Such arrogance was hard to believe.
"To actually demand the Jun family's divine son to come and die, that Princess Longji must be too arrogant, right?"
"Isn't that typical of ancient freaks? They look down on the contemporary prodigies, and they do have the qualifications to say such things."
"I wonder how Jun Xiaoyao will respond. Will he fight back?"
"Hard to say, let's wait and see."
Various forces in the Immortal Domain were engaged in heated discussions.
They understood that Princess Longji's emergence was primarily to build her own momentum.
And what better way to do that?
Naturally, it was to trample on the most renowned prodigies.
Moreover, the Jun family was a rival force to the Ancestral Dragon Nest, so many speculated that Princess Longji would target Jun Xiaoyao.
What they didn't know was that there was another reason: the condition proposed by Xiao Chen, which required her to kill Jun Xiaoyao.
Princess Longji had never met Jun Xiaoyao, but that didn't stop her from making such statements.
After all, Princess Longji was also a peak figure in her era, a dominant and invincible existence.
The entire Immortal Domain was in turmoil, with many eyes turning towards the Jun family.
At this moment, however, Jun Xiaoyao, at the eye of the storm, remained completely unaware and continued his seclusion.
He was comprehending the Holy Body's extraordinary phenomena and refining the Immortal Source, further tempering his Great Luo Immortal Bone.
The Jun family had once again provided Jun Xiaoyao with a batch of Immortal Source.
One could say that they had given him everything they could.
Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, waves of radiant light surged, creating a shocking disturbance.
Every time Jun Xiaoyao emerged from seclusion, he would present a new appearance, his strength vastly different from before.
Many members of the Jun family were eagerly anticipating how powerful Jun Xiaoyao would be upon his next emergence.
During this period of Jun Xiaoyao's seclusion, the Ancestral Dragon Nest had also relentlessly attacked the Jun family.
They claimed that the Jun family was like a turtle hiding its head, afraid to fight.
They asserted that in the current generation, no one from the Jun family could rival Princess Longji.
This left the young members of the Jun family feeling frustrated, wishing they could directly urge Jun Xiaoyao to emerge and give Princess Longji a good slap in the face.
Princess Longji also released another message.
If Jun Xiaoyao dared not go to the Ancestral Dragon Nest to battle her, she would wait for him at the Hunyuan Mountain Range in Hongzhou.
Once this news broke, it sent shockwaves through all quarters.
If the Jun family and Jun Xiaoyao continued to shrink back, it would result in a significant loss of face for the Jun family.
"How infuriating! The divine son is merely in seclusion, yet the Ancestral Dragon Nest truly thinks our Jun family is afraid of them!"
In a courtyard of the Jun family, Jun Zhangjian slammed the table, his face filled with indignation.
"What can we do? Are you going to challenge Princess Longji yourself?" Jun Xuehuang replied calmly.
Jun Zhangjian's expression turned awkward, clearly uncomfortable.
He knew his own strength all too well.
That terrifying ancient freak, Princess Longji, was not someone he could handle.
"No need to worry. When the young master emerges from seclusion, he will continue to sweep away all enemies," Jun Linglong said, seemingly unconcerned.
She had the utmost confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, she had once glimpsed a fragment of the future.
That figure, with his back to the world, could only be Jun Tiandi.
And Princess Longji was merely a descendant of an ancient empress.
She was not even qualified to be compared with someone like Jun Xiaoyao, who was destined to become an emperor.
Just as many prodigies of the Jun family were feeling frustrated because of this.
A figure stepped onto a Qilin beast, preparing to leave the Jun family.
"It's Lord Lingcang! Where is he going?"
Many members of the Jun family looked on with surprise.
"Lingcang!"
Several clan elders from Jun Lingcang's lineage appeared, along with Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu.
"My Jun family's honor cannot be compromised. Since my cousin Xiaoyao is in seclusion, I will go meet that dragon princess," Jun Lingcang said in a calm tone.
He was handsome, with a striking appearance, his eyes covered by a black cloth, and his skin glimmering like jade, exuding a faint light.
The words he spoke at this moment were shocking to all.
Jun Lingcang was going to meet Princess Longji!
The entire Jun family was in an uproar.
"Lord Lingcang, you don't have to..." Jun Xiyu began but hesitated.
She wanted to say that Princess Longji was targeting Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Lingcang didn't need to wade into this mess.
"If we continue to let the Ancestral Dragon Nest act arrogantly, it will be the Jun family that loses face, not just one person," Jun Lingcang said, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed.
Even facing the terrifying ancient freak, he remained unafraid.
From all directions, many members of the Jun family cast admiring glances at him.
The Jun family had more than just Jun Xiaoyao!
"Ajiu, I will show you who is truly worthy of your allegiance..." Jun Lingcang murmured.
His decision to act was partly for the honor of the Jun family.
On the other hand, it was also to demonstrate to Ajiu.
He was not inferior to anyone!
Jun Lingcang would not resort to despicable means to compete with Jun Xiaoyao, so he could only use this method to showcase his capabilities to Ajiu.
Jun Lingcang was taking action.
As soon as this news broke, it was like a magnitude ten earthquake, causing a stir in all directions.
The first-ranked figure of the Jun family, a young prodigy with world-destroying eyes, was heading to the Hunyuan Mountain Range in Hongzhou to meet Princess Longji.
Many elders and prodigies from major forces heard the news and set off.
Recently, although Jun Xiaoyao had been the sole standout of the Jun family, dominating the world, Jun Lingcang, as the first-ranked figure, was also a well-known prodigy.
His strength needed no further elaboration.
In no time, the surrounding area was bustling, with numerous forces converging on the Hunyuan Mountain Range in Hongzhou.
This battle would surely shake the world, and its outcome would have far-reaching implications.
After all, this was also a contest between the Jun family and the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
If even the top-ranked figure of the Jun family were to lose to Princess Longji, then it was likely that Jun Xiaoyao would not fare any better.
In just a few days, Jun Lingcang arrived at the Hunyuan Mountain Range in Hongzhou.
Accompanying him were Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu, and several clan elders from his lineage.
After all, Hongzhou was the territory of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, and they could not allow Jun Lingcang to go alone.
At this moment, the area around the Hunyuan Mountain Range was already densely packed with a large crowd.
Among them were various ancient royal families, ancient clans, and supreme families; nearly everyone who could come had arrived.
Above the Hunyuan Mountain Range, a golden dragon palace radiated vast dragon might, floating in the void like an ancient heavenly palace.
After a moment, a Qilin beast descended from the distant sky, surrounded by purple mist.
A figure, handsome and upright like a pine, stood with his hands behind his back atop it.
His black hair flowed freely, his eyes covered by a black cloth, yet a unique aura circulated around him.
"He's here, he's here! He's coming!"
Cheers erupted from all directions as the battle between the first-ranked figure and the ancient freak was about to commence!
This was also a grand contest between the Jun family and the Ancestral Dragon Nest!
