Chapter 983: Cang King, Jiang Shan!

Just as Yan Po's face showed hesitation.

Suddenly, a burst of mocking laughter came from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Bai Bingyun? Hahaha, your Jade Pure Sect is truly useless; after searching for so long, you couldn't even find a pregnant woman, and now you must let her openly display her affection with a wild man here—tsk tsk, doesn't your Jade Pure Sect feel ashamed? I feel ashamed on your behalf!"

"Tsk tsk, judging by this, the child Bai Bingyun conceived several months ago must belong to this young general of the dynasty, correct?"

"She would rather marry a mere young general of the dynasty than your son; this is truly hilarious, hahaha!"

These words instantly provoked uproarious laughter from everyone present!

It must be known that some time ago, the matter concerning Bai Bingyun caused quite a stir within the Jade Pure Sect, qualifying as a scandal.

While ordinary factions would find it extremely difficult to learn such news, for these Heavenly Human powers, discovering it was as easy as pie.

Therefore, everyone here was fully aware of the situation!

Among them, many held grudges against the Jade Pure Sect, so seeing Yan Po, a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit realm, make a fool of himself naturally made them laugh even louder, even resorting to cold mockery and acting with increasing recklessness!

Seeing this scene, Yan Po's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Everyone's sarcasm and ridicule fell upon his ears like steel blades stabbing into his heart, twisting violently!

"I am furious!"

Yan Po's eyes bulged wide, the fire of rage in his heart burning ever more fiercely!

His sect, the Jade Pure Sect, was at least one of the most long-standing Heavenly Human powers within the Moonlight Dynasty.

As a high-ranking and powerful Elder within the Jade Pure Sect, how could he suffer such humiliation today for no reason?

It is Bai Bingyun! Everything is this bitch's fault!

If she hadn't had an affair with this tiny dynasty general and conceived a bastard, how would others have found grounds to speak, causing me to endure such shame?!

In any case, this matter has nothing to do with the Jiang family of Cangwu.

Even if it bears a slight connection to the Cangling Dynasty, ultimately, it is an internal affair of my Jade Pure Sect.

Although your Jiang family of Cangwu is strong, making my Jade Pure Sect unable to provoke you, surely you would not lower your status to casually interfere in another family's private matters?!

Moreover, this time I do not intend to harm a single person present; I only need to take Bai Bingyun away.

Thinking of this, Yan Po, deep in his anger, could no longer keep his composure.

Without saying a word, he descended from the high sky and rushed to the front of the military formation!

This action instantly caused great surprise among the many cultivators surrounding the area.

"Is this person mad? Daring to block the great army of the Cangling Dynasty at the foot of Cangwu Mountain, does he not fear the wrath of that person above?"

"On the very day of the Cangwu Academy's opening ceremony, he dares to offend the Cang King and create such a huge disturbance; in my view, this person has already courted death!"

"Wait, I know who he is; he is Yan Po, an Elder of the Jade Pure Sect, rumored to have broken through to the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit realm a month ago!"

"Hmph, if dealing with the other seven kingdoms, the might of a peak Primordial Spirit realm expert would be enough to sweep away everything, but before Clan Leader Jiang, that is not necessarily the case."

"Indeed, think of how powerful Zhou Tianhan once was; he was only one step away from reaching Sagehood, his strength a thousand times greater than this man's, yet was he not casually slain by Clan Leader Jiang, leaving not even bones behind?"

Amidst the crowd's discussions.

Within the military formation, Bai Bingyun, sitting behind Jiang Xuanji, suddenly changed color.

"Elder Yan..."

Once, as a true disciple of the Jade Pure Sect, she had enjoyed boundless glory.

However, due to her master's sudden demise, she was left isolated and helpless, her status plummeting.

Subsequently, Yan Junming, also a true disciple, pursued her and declared his love.

But after she rejected him before everyone's eyes, he was shamed into anger and asked his father, Yan Po, to repeatedly target and suppress her, harassing her in every possible way!

Finally, when she returned to the sect and was found to be pregnant, it was Yan Po who advocated aborting the child and abolishing her cultivation base!

All those past events floated back into her mind once again.

Facing that former shadow, Bai Bingyun could not help but show panic on her face, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Originally in high spirits, Jiang Xuanji noticed this and his expression suddenly changed.

"Bingyun, what is wrong with you?"

He instantly realized that the change in his wife was likely related to this middle-aged man before them.

Seeing the deep concern on Jiang Xuanji's face, Bai Bingyun felt warmth in her heart.

Knowing that with the strength of the Jiang family of Cangwu, there was absolutely no need to fear Yan Po.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, she immediately laid out the entire story from beginning to end.

"Yan Po, Yan Junming..."

Upon learning that the man before him was the chief culprit who had caused his wife such suffering, Jiang Xuanji flew into a towering rage!

He glared viciously at Yan Po, his heart filled with an overwhelming desire to confront the man.

But military orders are as weighty as a mountain; he absolutely could not commit such an act of overstepping!

Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the surging fury in his heart and used his spiritual sense to transmit all the information to Jiang Shan behind him.

A moment later.

The carriage located at the center of the military formation suddenly stopped.

This vehicle was drawn by nine superior spiritual horses, lavishly decorated, exuding nobility.

Under the gaze of countless cultivators.

A tall, middle-aged man who commanded awe without showing anger stepped down from the carriage.

He wore a magnificent robe of black and red, printed with intricate cloud patterns.

On his head sat a crown with twelve jade strings; imperial qi surged around him, his momentum vast, seeming to rival the heavens, causing hearts to tremble uncontrollably!

This person was none other than the current ruler of the Cangling Dynasty!

The Cang King... Jiang Shan!

Having sat upon the throne for several months now.

After being tempered and baptized by the nation's fortune, the majesty he exuded grew with each passing day, ever more intense!

The moment he appeared before the eyes of the world, that terrifyingly boundless royal pressure instantly crushed the many cultivators present into anguished cries!

Those with stronger cultivation bases could still resist for a moment.

But those with weaker cultivation bases had their legs go weak on the spot, unable to help but drop to their knees and pay him homage!

In an instant, from the lowest Purple Mansion of Innate realm up to the Moon Wheel and Sun Wheel realms, all bowed their heads!

This was not because Jiang Shan's cultivation base was strong enough.

It was because what they faced was not Jiang Shan alone!
