Chapter 232

Jiang Luoli, who had been sitting helplessly inside the spatial prison with a frown, heard that gentle voice and her twin buns perked up.

She turned around and saw the handsome young man she had longed for day and night.

Dressed in snow-white robes, bathed in celestial radiance, his flawless, peerlessly elegant face carried a trace of sigh and helplessness.

Who else could it be but Jun Xiaoyao?

"Xiaoyao brother!"

Jiang Luoli blinked in shock for a moment before snapping back to reality, suddenly crying out in excitement, her face flushed bright red.

Then, like a fledgling returning to its nest, she launched herself at Jun Xiaoyao.

Her slender, pale limbs clung to him like an octopus, wrapping tightly around his body.

Like a cute little pendant.

Jun Xiaoyao was speechless; if not for his Primal Ancient Holy Body's strength, he'd likely have been suffocated by her tiny arms and legs.

"Get off," Jun Xiaoyao sighed helplessly.

He could remain aloof and cold toward anyone.

But this silly girl always gave him headaches and left him at a loss.

And she was Jiang Rou's personally chosen daughter-in-law—even if Jun Xiaoyao himself had never acknowledged it.

"No! Xiaoyao brother, I came down to the mortal realm just to see you, and got kidnapped—waaah…"

Jiang Luoli wrapped her snow-white legs around Jun Xiaoyao's waist, her pale, slender arms clasped around his neck as she complained into his ear.

"Who dares kidnap you, the little princess of the Jiang family? Isn't that asking for death?" Jun Xiaoyao chuckled faintly, shaking his head.

"Hmph! There are plenty of blind fools!" Jiang Luoli pouted and huffed.

Jun Xiaoyao ignored the girl clinging to him and swept his gaze across the scene.

He immediately spotted the sages of the Ancient Demon Clan, the Ancient Beast Clan, and the Nine Youmingque Clan.

Only now did they react, their faces hardening with coldness.

"Who are you!?" the Ancient Demon Clan's sage barked coldly.

Yet the two Jiang family guardians, seeing Jun Xiaoyao rescue Jiang Luoli, wore expressions of overwhelming excitement and bowed in unison.

"Your humble servants pay homage to the Jun Clan's Divine Son—thank you, Divine Son, for saving our young lady!"

The two guardians were ecstatic; just moments ago, they had been agonizing over how to rescue Jiang Luoli and Jiang Xuling.

In an instant, all their problems were solved.

Jiang Luoli was rescued, and Jiang Xuling had narrowly escaped death.

"Who is this 'Jun Clan Divine Son'?"

Qin Hao's face darkened as his plan was ruined.

He had no idea who Jun Xiaoyao was or what status he held in the Immortal Realm.

A frog at the bottom of a well could never comprehend the vastness of the sea.

"You are Qin Hao," Jun Xiaoyao said, gazing at him with a cold, godlike expression.

That detached, indifferent gaze filled Qin Hao with intense irritation.

Again—this look of contempt and apathy!

As for Jiang Xuling, her face lit up with profound relief: "Thank you, brother-in-law, for saving me!"

"Brother-in-law?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly.

When had he become someone's brother-in-law?

Jiang Luoli, still clinging to him, grinned mischievously and winked at Jiang Xuling.

As if to say: Well done!

The sages of the Ancient Demon Clan, Ancient Beast Clan, and Nine Youmingque Clan, upon hearing the words "Jun Clan Divine Son," all showed expressions of surprise.

Beneath it, a hint of fear.

After all, once bitten by a snake, one fears even a well for ten years.

Now, merely hearing the name "Jun Clan," the Nine Youmingque Clan's sage felt a chill of dread.

"Who cares about all that—first, subdue him!" The sages of the Ancient Demon and Ancient Beast Clans exchanged glances and immediately moved to crush Jun Xiaoyao.

If they could subdue this Divine Son, the Jun Clan would at least hesitate before acting against them.

But they were still far too naive.

The figures of Dongxuan the Ancestor and Gu Yuan appeared, colliding violently with the sages of the Ancient Demon and Ancient Beast Clans.

The two Jiang family guardians also charged forward, full of righteous fury.

Together, the Jiang and Jun Clans fielded four sages against the three sages of the Ancient Demon Clan, Ancient Beast Clan, and Nine Youmingque Clan.

Jun Xiaoyao held back for now, turning his gaze toward Qin Hao.

Qin Hao, seeing this, turned pale.

He knew his plan had utterly failed.

Not only had he failed to kill Jiang Xuling, he had now plunged himself into grave danger.

And it was all because of that white-robed young master!

As Qin Hao's resentment surged within him—

A woman's cry of agony rang out.

Hearing it, Qin Hao spun around and saw a sight that made his eyes burn with rage.

Yan Qingying had torn off half of Nine You 's black wings, blood splattering the sky.

Her pupils were deep as the night sky, cold and chilling.

Before Jun Xiaoyao, she was a dainty girl; before enemies, she was a cold, dark queen.

Jun Xiaoyao's words were her supreme command.

Nine You was Qin Hao's personal companion.

But her strength was merely at the level of a heavenly prodigy—outstanding among her peers, yet nowhere near top-tier.

Yan Qingying, however, was one of the Ten Rebellious Prodigies.

Though the world's primordial source had been given to Jun Xiaoyao, she remained the heir of the Devouring God Technique.

Added to that, she had devoured the Fallen Divine Son and the Heavenly Demon Prince's demonic bloodline.

Her power had surged terrifyingly.

Dealing with Nine You was more than enough.

"Die!" Yan Qingying unleashed the Devouring God Technique.

A pitch-black devouring vortex appeared in the void, erupting with suction to pull Nine You into it.

"No!" Nine You struggled desperately.

She was the strongest heavenly prodigy of the Nine Youmingque Clan, yet before Yan Qingying, she had little power to resist.

In mere moments, her slender body was dragged into the devouring vortex.

Her form shattered inch by inch, transforming into pure blood essence absorbed by Yan Qingying.

"Nine You —AAAAAAHHHH!"

Qin Hao gnashed his teeth, choked with grief, his heart feeling as if it had been torn apart.

She was the woman who had walked beside him through his rise!

They had even promised that, once all was settled, they'd find a quiet place and spend their lives together.

Now, all that beauty lay shattered before his eyes.

Jiang Xuling let out a loud laugh, utterly delighted, finally releasing the bitterness in her heart.

Qin Hao's eyes burned crimson as if dripping blood.

Suddenly, an arrow pierced through his back—he barely dodged, but it still tore through his shoulder, spraying blood.

"Distracted while fighting me? You're asking for death!" Yi Yu's gaze was icy.

Seeing Nine You reduced to bloody mist, seeing Yi Yu's cold, scornful stare, seeing Jiang Xuling's triumphant laughter—

Qin Hao was on the verge of madness!

His blood boiled, his whole body trembling as if about to explode!

Abruptly, his blood-red eyes locked onto Jun Xiaoyao, standing calmly in the heavens.

It was him!

All of it was him!

If not for his interference, shattering my plan—

Nine You wouldn't be dead!

"Today, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Qin Hao roared to the heavens, unleashing his protagonist's cosmic power.

His blood surged to the ninth heaven; the primordial spirit bone in his chest, once reborn, trembled and radiated unprecedented light.

The primordial source power of the Ten Thousand Worlds was also pushed to its limit.

"Die, you bastard!"

Qin Hao unleashed all his power, becoming a flaming meteor as he charged toward Jun Xiaoyao!

Even if Jun Xiaoyao was a god, Qin Hao would defy heaven and slay the deity!
