Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Return of Double Pupil Jun Lingcang, The Jun Family’s Three Faction Array
If we speak of the most famous Celestial Pride in the Jun Family before Jun Xiaoyao rose to fame.
It would undoubtedly be the first sequence, the Double Pupil, Jun Lingcang!
The Top Ten Series of the Jun Family were selected from thousands of the Jun Family’s proud talents.
Each possesses their own unique abilities, whether due to special constitutions or forbidden legacies, their strength enough to sweep through the realms.
And among the Top Ten Series, as the ranking increases, the strength multiplies.
For example, the Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie, can easily defeat the Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian.
And those ranking higher can also easily defeat Jun Wanjie.
Thus, one can infer just how powerful the first-ranked Double Pupil, Jun Lingcang, truly is.
Were he to face Jun Wanjie, it wouldn’t take many moves at all.
Just like when Jun Xiaoyao crushed his opponents back in the day.
The return of the Double Pupil ignited excitement within the entire Jun Family once more.
After all, Jun Lingcang had been training in a terrifying Ancient Forbidden Land.
Such a Forbidden Land is one that even Heaven-Reaching Realm and Divine Fire Realm experts dare not tread lightly.
Yet Jun Lingcang had been there for a long time.
If not for Jun Lingcang’s Life Plate remaining intact, the Jun Family would surely have believed he perished there.
Before the Jun Family Mountain Gate, countless Jun Clan Members appeared, their faces bearing barely contained excitement.
After all, this was the Jun Family’s top sequence, of extraordinary status.
Many didn’t even have the privilege to meet him.
Moreover, when Jun Lingcang was ten years old, a grand banquet was held, inviting guests from all corners.
One could say that if it weren’t for Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Lingcang would be the pillar that the Jun Family earnestly nurtured.
Of course, he still is.
Above the heavens, a purple exotic beast resembling a Qilin came stepping through the skies, with purple aura swirling below its feet.
A young and slender figure stood faintly atop it.
He was a youth with an elegant demeanor, bearing a majestic presence.
Around him, the smoke and clouds swirled, exuding a myriad of phenomena, with the bearing of a dragon and the majesty of a phoenix, standing atop the Qilin Beast as if a Divine King descending to tour the eight directions!
His eyes were covered with a black cloth, upon which dark gold sealing runes seemed to be inscribed.
The mere wisp of aura he exuded sent shivers down the spine.
"Gasp... It truly is Lord Lingcang, he has indeed returned!"
"Is that a Qilin, the aura is overwhelmingly terrifying!"
"No, it should be a Qilin Beast with a Qilin Bloodline, but it is still very powerful, not something a regular Celestial Pride could easily tame."
Jun Lingcang descended in such a manner, causing many Jun Family members to tremble, their spirits stirred.
"So wonderful, our Jun Family not only has Lord Divine Son but also Lord Lingcang. Among the younger generation of the Immortal Realm, who can challenge our Jun Family?" A young Celestial Pride of the Jun Family couldn’t help but shout.
However, some Jun Clan Elders revealed a hint of worry in their eyes.
Because they knew, Jun Lingcang once wished to make Ah Jiu his master.
But Ah Jiu refused.
Now, Ah Jiu has become the Guardian of Jun Xiaoyao.
With Jun Lingcang’s commanding presence and high standing, will he accept this willingly?
Will there be any grudges?
The Jun Family does not shy away from competition among disciples, but the premise is that it must not go too far.
"Lord Lingcang!"
At this moment, from the depths of the Jun Family, two streaks of light rushed over.
Revealing a male and female figure.
The man was dressed in a simple Daoist Robe, holding an Eight Trigrams Array Disc in his hand.
He is the Jun Family’s Sixth Sequence, Jun Daolin.
At his birth, a natural Ancient Sacred Weapon resided within him, the Eight Trigrams Array Disc, the very object he currently holds.
Jun Daolin excels in Array Techniques.
And the female was adorned in a red palace dress, with a stunningly beautiful face tinged with an enchanting allure.
Her name is Jun Xiyu, the Eighth Sequence of the Jun Family.
Jun Xiyu was born with a Charming Bone, proficient in Divine Soul Illusion Skills.
It is rumored that a single glance from her is enough to make a Unity Realm Celestial Pride submit to her without resistance, becoming a minion under her skirt.
And now, both Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu, these two remarkable Celestial Prides, stepped forward and cupped their hands toward Jun Lingcang.
To those unaware, it might have seemed as if they were followers of Jun Lingcang.
Yet in fact, it was almost the case.
Jun Lingcang, with his formidable strength, won them over, willing to follow him.
Just like how Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Wanjie are willing to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
"No need for the ceremony," Jun Lingcang waved slightly.
Although his eyes were shrouded by a black cloth, sealing his Double Pupils, he was still able to probe the surroundings with his powerful Divine Thought.
"Lord Lingcang, many things have happened during this time," Jun Daolin said.
"We’ll talk about it when we return," Jun Lingcang waved his hand.
The clan elders of his lineage also came to receive him.
The previously calm Jun Family became lively once more due to Jun Lingcang’s arrival.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jun Linglong, Jun Zhangjian, and the other four gathered together.
"Do you think Jun Lingcang will clash with the young master over Senior Ah Jiu?" Jun Linglong expressed some concern.
Jun Lingcang is no lightweight.
Among all the opponents Jun Xiaoyao has faced so far, none truly compare to Jun Lingcang.
If it were Jun Lingcang, he could easily suppress them too.
"I don’t think so. No matter what, Jun Lingcang is still family, different from outsiders," Jun Xuehuang did not share the same concerns.
"Although things might not get too extreme, there’s bound to be some conflict. But I’m resolutely on the side of the Divine Son," Jun Zhangjian declared confidently.
Currently, the Top Ten Series of the entire Jun Family seems to have divided into three factions.
One belongs to the Zero Sequence, Jun Xiaoyao.
Another is under the First Sequence, Jun Lingcang.
The remaining Second, Third Sequences, and others have indeterminate stances and do not interfere.
Over on the Divine Island where Jun Lingcang resides, his lineage elders, as well as Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu, and others, were all gathered.
Since Jun Lingcang had been focused on training in the Ancient Forbidden Land, he was unaware of recent events.
Upon hearing of Jun Xiaoyao’s many feats, Jun Lingcang sighed inwardly.
The Jun Family has produced another demon not inferior to himself.
However, upon learning that in the Divine Dynasty Imperial City, Ah Jiu stood up for Jun Xiaoyao.
Those present noticeably detected a slight disturbance in Jun Lingcang’s aura.
The burst of aura in that instant made the likes of Jun Daolin, and others from the series feel a tremor within.
But Jun Lingcang quickly regained his composure.
"Is that so, Ah Jiu became the Guardian of my cousin," Jun Lingcang murmured to himself.
Because his eyes were covered by a black cloth, those present couldn’t see his expression.
Jun Lingcang’s lineage and Jun Xiaoyao’s lineage are closely related by blood.
So he also refers to Jun Xiaoyao as cousin.
Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu exchanged a glance and remained silent.
They vaguely knew that Jun Lingcang’s intentions toward Ah Jiu might not be simply to make her his master.
"Ah Jiu becoming the Guardian of my cousin is partly due to my cousin’s talent, and partly because of his status, I suppose."
Jun Lingcang saw through things clearly, understanding immediately.
It’s just...
There was inevitably a bit of a knot in his heart.
