As the Zero Sequence, he had respectfully requested that A'Jiu become his Master.
A'Jiu refused.
But now, she was willing to become Jun Xiaoyao's Guardian.
This differential treatment was simply too great.
Jun Lingcang admitted that he was a little jealous.
After all, he couldn't forget.
When he was young, he was attracted by a strand of zither music and walked to a desolate courtyard, where he saw that beautiful figure playing the zither under the moonlight.
One glance, and it was hard to forget.
Even later, when Jun Lingcang's double pupils astonished the world and he soared to become the highly esteemed Zero Sequence, he never forgot that figure.
Now, he had returned from his training in the Ancient Forbidden Land.
He thought he finally had the qualifications to make A'Jiu look at him and become his Master.
Who would have thought that A'Jiu had already become Jun Xiaoyao's Guardian?
Anyone would find this hard to accept.
However, Jun Lingcang was indeed worthy of being the Jun Family's Zero Sequence, with a profound character, like an ancient well without ripples.
He showed no anger or fury, remaining very calm.
Jun Daolin then began to pour out his grievances to Jun Lingcang.
"Lord Ling Cang, you don't know, the Family is too biased towards the Divine Child. Last time I wanted to claim ten pieces of Immortal Source, but the Elders in the Family said that they needed to be given to the Divine Child for Cultivation."
Jun Daolin felt a bit dejected thinking about this.
He wanted to take a few pieces of Immortal Source to test a new Formation, but was told that all the Immortal Source needed to be given to Jun Xiaoyao.
This left Jun Daolin speechless. He was one of the ten Sequences after all, was this the kind of treatment he deserved?
"Indeed, the Family is too biased towards the Divine Child. Even some resources that originally belonged to Lord Ling Cang were all given to the Divine Child," Jun Xiyu chimed in from the side, speaking up for Jun Lingcang.
Her admiration for Jun Lingcang was equivalent to Jun Linglong and Jun Xuehuang's admiration for Jun Xiaoyao.
She even believed that Jun Lingcang was the strongest Prodigy of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm.
Even Jun Xiaoyao couldn't compare.
"This is indeed a bit inappropriate," Jun Lingcang said calmly.
"So, Lord Ling Cang, now that you've finally returned, you must suppress the Divine Child's prestige and not let the Family be too biased towards him," Jun Daolin said.
Jun Lingcang said faintly, "You mean for me to suppress that cousin of mine?"
Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu both remained silent, but clearly, that was what they meant.
"Foolish!"
Jun Lingcang's expression slightly chilled.
Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu were both stunned, momentarily unable to react.
"Does the Family Cultivate you Sequences just so you can scheme against each other?" Jun Lingcang reprimanded coldly.
"But Lord Ling Cang..." Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu both wanted to retort something.
They felt that the Jun Family was too biased towards Jun Xiaoyao and unfair to Jun Lingcang.
"You can contend, but what you should be contending for is to kill the Ancient Royal Family, to contend with the Prodigies of other Ancient Desolate Families, not to fight among yourselves," Jun Lingcang stood up, his expression indifferent.
"I am very disappointed in you," Jun Lingcang turned his back, standing with his hands behind him.
"Please forgive us, Lord Ling Cang!" The two immediately bowed in haste.
The other Family Elders of this lineage couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the sight.
Jun Lingcang was indeed worthy of being the leading figure as the Zero Sequence.
Just imagine, how could the dignified Ancient Jun Family allow a Prodigy with ill intentions and a perverse character to be their leader?
"It's good that you know your mistake. Don't let it happen again," Jun Lingcang's tone softened slightly.
Only then did the two stand up.
However, not only did Jun Xiyu not feel wronged, but her gaze towards Jun Lingcang became even more adoring.
This was the true leader of the Jun Family, with a broad mind like the sea.
In contrast, although Jun Xiaoyao's character was also overbearingly magnificent, he was perhaps a bit selfish, only thinking of himself, not even leaving them a bit of Immortal Source.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiyu felt a bit indignant for Jun Lingcang.
Why wasn't Jun Lingcang the Zero Sequence, but Jun Xiaoyao?
"Is that cousin of mine still in seclusion?" Jun Lingcang asked.
"That's right," Jun Daolin replied.
"What a pity, I'd like to meet him and see what kind of person he is," Jun Lingcang shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu, and the other Family Elders of this lineage all showed surprise in their eyes.
It seemed that Jun Lingcang had not given up on contending with Jun Xiaoyao.
A'Jiu remained a thorn in his heart.
"Jun Xiaoyao, I will defeat you honorably, and make A'Jiu understand who is truly worthy of being followed..." Jun Lingcang stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself.
He would not use any underhanded tactics.
Instead, he would defeat Jun Xiaoyao in an open and honorable manner.
Only then could he prove himself to A'Jiu.
The news of Jun Lingcang's return to the Jun Family also spread from the Jun Family.
Those forces hostile to the Jun Family all wore worried expressions.
Just one Jun Xiaoyao was already suffocating enough, and now there was an additional Zero Sequence with double pupils.
Many people believed that the younger generation of the Jun Family was about to sweep across the current Immortal Realm.
Among them, the most worried was none other than the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
As the Jun family's number one old rival.
The Ancestral Dragon Nest suffered repeated setbacks.
Dragon Son Long Haotian was killed, Long Bichi was so frightened by Jun Xiaoyao that her Dao Heart almost collapsed, and even the Dragon bone was taken by Jun Xiaoyao.
It could be said to be utterly miserable.
Yet, their most outstanding Prodigy, Long Aotian, was still in seclusion.
This made it so that the younger generation of the Ancestral Dragon Nest simply couldn't produce many capable fighters.
"The twin Dragons emerge, the Ancestral Dragon shall rise. Is that prophecy truly real?"
Even within the Ancestral Dragon Nest, some Elders began to doubt.
Just as the Ancestral Dragon Nest was about to be driven to their wits' end.
In Black Desert State, one of the Three Thousand Provinces.
A blood-soaked youth, looking frantic, was frantically rushing towards a certain place.
"Finally collected it. Jun Xiaoyao, you're dead. No one can save you this time!"
This youth was naturally Xiao Chen.
After Qinglong Shangren rescued him, Xiao Chen had been collecting the blood of young boys and girls along the way, and quickly gathered it all.
Now, only one thought occupied Xiao Chen's mind.
To kill Jun Xiaoyao!
"Alas..." Qinglong Shangren sighed.
A perfectly fine spirited young man had been turned into such a non-human, non-ghostly state, which was lamentable.
"The Jun Family Divine Child is too terrifying. Only the Ancient Freak of the Ancestral Dragon Nest can suppress him," Qinglong Shangren thought.
A few days later, Xiao Chen returned to that ancient nest again.
The moment he stepped into the ancient nest, that Ancient Freak sensed him.
"Heh... as expected, Mortal, you've come..." A clear yet faintly mocking female voice rang out.
As if everything was within her calculations and control.
"I brought what you wanted, but I need you to agree to my conditions first," Xiao Chen's voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Speak," the female voice uttered a single word faintly.
"I want you to help me kill the current Divine Child of the Jun Family, Jun Xiaoyao!"
Xiao Chen spoke each word, resolute and decisive!
