The entire Forbidden City became a hubbub due to Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yang Pan, whose face was ashen, and said indifferently, "I'm not fighting because I don't think it's necessary. Crushing you is no more trouble than crushing a fly."
"Jun Xiaoyao, stop bragging. Do you really think you're invincible just because you destroyed one of my Clones?" Yang Pan said coldly.
He believed that Jun Xiaoyao's confidence stemmed from having easily annihilated his Clone.
"Heh…" Jun Xiaoyao chuckled, saying nothing more.
How could Yang Pan understand his capabilities?
Coldness surged in Yang Pan's eyes.
With his volatile temper, he almost couldn't resist starting a battle directly.
However, thinking of his bid for the son-in-law position, Yang Pan temporarily suppressed his Qi.
Once he secured the son-in-law position, he would challenge Jun Xiaoyao and settle their scores atop the Forbidden City.
Jun Xiaoyao clearly knew Yang Pan's thoughts.
He didn't care whether they fought sooner or later; the outcome would remain unchanged anyway.
Seeing the temporary truce between the two, the surrounding Cultivators continued to marvel.
Jun Xiaoyao's entrance was too powerful, directly shattering Champion Marquis's invincible Aura.
However, they were also very curious if Jun Xiaoyao would participate in the competition for the son-in-law position.
Jun Xiaoyao walked towards the Jun Family's side.
"Divine Child!" Jun Zhangjian and others bowed, their eyes filled with joy.
They had recently been greatly annoyed by the rumors.
And as soon as Jun Xiaoyao appeared, all the slandering rumors crumbled on their own.
"Xiaoyao, I knew you wouldn't avoid the fight," Jiang Shengyi walked over, smiling.
"Sister Shengyi." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Beside them, Jiang Luoli watched the two, her big eyes darting about.
She didn't overthink anything.
"Divine Child, we meet again. The night we spent playing the zither is still vivid in my memory, truly unforgettable."
At this moment, another stunning beauty approached; it was Tianqin Nu.
Her tone carried a hint of nostalgia, and a faint yearning flickered in her eyes.
Upon learning Jun Xiaoyao's true identity, she felt a sense of being overwhelmed by favor.
However, Tianqin Nu did not know that Jun Xiaoyao had merely used her once.
"Wh-wh-what? A night of romance?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoli was struck by lightning, as if her entire being had turned to stone.
"I was clearly first…" Jiang Luoli pouted, a strong wave of jealousy spreading.
"Miss Jiang, you misunderstood. It was playing the zither, not romance," Tianqin Nu explained.
Jiang Luoli still harbored some resentment.
"What are you thinking, you little girl?" Jun Xiaoyao tapped Jiang Luoli's small head.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao, who was deeply entangled in a beauty's battlefield, not to mention outsiders, even Jun Zhangjian said with envy, "If only I had one-tenth of the Divine Child's charm."
"Are you dreaming?" Jun Xuehuang retorted.
At this moment, a grand voice emanated from deep within the imperial palace.
A golden arch bridge extended from the distant Void Realm, and a group of people slowly walked forth.
Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes, with a majestic demeanor and the great authority of a ruler of the world.
This man was the Emperor of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, Panwu Divine Lord.
Behind him followed a group of imperial princes and princesses.
Wu Mingyue and the Third Prince were among them.
The Third Prince immediately noticed Jun Xiaoyao, and his heart suddenly grew cold, sinking to rock bottom.
"It's over, it's really him, the Jun Family Divine Child…"
Earlier, the Third Prince had a faint premonition.
Unexpectedly, it had now come true.
Bribing Nether Heaven assassins to assassinate the Jun Family Divine Child.
If this were exposed, the Third Prince could hardly imagine what consequences would arise.
"It's fine, stay calm. The Nether Heaven assassin will die before exposing my identity," the Third Prince thought to himself.
And precisely at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's gaze happened to fall upon the Third Prince.
The Third Prince stiffened all over.
Jun Xiaoyao revealed a faint smile, nodding slightly.
Seeing this, the Third Prince also forced a strained smile onto his face.
In his heart, however, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"It seems that Jun Xiaoyao doesn't know I was behind it," the Third Prince thought to himself.
Furthermore, even if Jun Xiaoyao were to guess it was him, without evidence, it wouldn't hold up.
At worst, the Third Prince would simply deny everything and play dumb.
Unfortunately, the Third Prince didn't know the meaning of Jun Xiaoyao's smile.
It was a devil's smile.
Wu Mingyue also saw Jun Xiaoyao, and her expression instantly became unnatural.
"He really came after all," Wu Mingyue sighed, uncharacteristically nervous.
After all, her lifeline was still in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
"Is that the Divine Dynasty Long Princess? It's my first time seeing her, and she's indeed a peerless beauty!"
"Yes, I finally understand why so many Prodigies are scrambling for this son-in-law position. Not only can they soar to great heights, but they can also gain such a beautiful woman."
Many Cultivators looked at Wu Mingyue, their eyes filled with admiration.
Wu Mingyue, dressed in a grand red gown, was enchanting and alluring, unparalleled in beauty.
"Mingyue…"
Seated in a corner, Xiao Chen's heart surged, his expression subtly showing excitement and longing.
Wu Mingyue was his woman; today, he would not yield Wu Mingyue to anyone!
"Thank you all for attending this banquet. Today is also the day for my daughter Mingyue to choose her son-in-law. Only the Prodigy who stands out will become the son-in-law of my Panwu Divine Dynasty."
Panwu Divine Lord spoke, his voice resounding throughout the area.
"Next, the banquet begins. All you young talents may also compete and spar."
As Panwu Divine Lord's words fell, the entire banquet officially commenced.
"Haha, then let me be the first to make a fool of myself. I have long admired Princess Mingyue."
A handsome young man with a long sword on his back leaped onto the already prepared high platform and said with a laugh.
"It's the True Disciple of the Tiannan Sword Sect, a Prodigy with considerable strength," some Cultivators remarked.
The Tiannan Sword Sect was also a top-tier sword Dao force.
However, Wu Mingyue didn't even glance at that Prodigy.
"Heh…"
A cold laugh came, from Yang Pan.
He directly unleashed a spear strike, and the terrifying spear light caused ripples in the Void Realm.
The Tiannan Sword Sect True Disciple's expression changed abruptly upon seeing this. His long sword unsheathed from his back, and he countered the attack.
However, with just one move, the True Disciple spat blood and flew backward, a bloody hole appearing on his shoulder.
Even more serious, the True Disciple's entire skeleton was shattered.
Several Elders from the Tiannan Sword Sect stepped forward to examine him, their faces extremely grim.
But due to Yang Pan's identity and the Panwu Divine Lord's presence, they dared not voice their anger.
"Hmph, this son-in-law position, this Marquis wants it. Any blind fool who wants to compete can come up and fight!"
Yang Pan stood on the high platform, clad in the Heavenly Light Horn God Armor, wielding the Shangmang Divine Spear, his Aura unparalleled for a moment.
Boom!
Just as Yang Pan's words fell, a majestic Aura suddenly erupted from a banquet area behind him.
Simultaneously, a cold shout filled with determination also rang out.
"Only I, Xiao Chen, can be Mingyue's son-in-law. As for you, Yang Pan, get as far away as possible
