Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

The Pure Yang Sword Master nodded thoughtfully and looked around at the elders. He spoke softly, "I will follow the words of the Elder and offer a reward for Jiang Xuan, allowing our sword sect prodigies to assassinate him in the mortal world."

"I will personally go to the Sword Tomb and consult the Ancestor. When necessary, we can use all the power of the Sword Sect to kill the Jiang family!"

The Pure Yang Sword Master's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold killing intent surged. He said coldly, "The great era is approaching, and we cannot tolerate any rise of the Jiang family!"

"Yes!" The elders responded in a deep voice.

"Furthermore..."

The Pure Yang Sword Master pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The three sword disciples who have been sealed for many eras should also be awakened."

"In this great era, we must fight!"

The hearts of the people stirred, and a hint of joy appeared on their originally solemn faces.

The disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect in this generation generally had average aptitude, and there were many prodigies among them, but there was not a single prodigy capable of leading the army, let alone a monstrous talent.

This was also the reason why they were so worried when the Jiang family produced two monstrous talents.

However, if they could awaken the three sword disciples, this problem would naturally be solved.

The three sword disciples were the most terrifying monstrous talents in the Pure Yang Sword Sect in nearly a million years. One was born with a sword heart, one was the reincarnation of the third generation Pure Yang Sword Master, and the other was born with the ability to cut through time and space and transmit teachings across space.

All three of them had once dominated an era and were unparalleled in the Profound Heaven.

In order to pursue a broader future, to seize the opportunity of the great era, and to push the path to its peak, they chose to hide and seal themselves within the hundred thousand mountains of the Pure Yang.

If all three sword disciples were awakened, even if the two monstrous talents of the Jiang family grew up... it would not be a concern!

Once the reward from the Pure Yang Sword Sect was announced, there were noticeably more sword cultivators coming out of the hundred thousand mountains.

On the vast and boundless Eastern Divine Continent, where battles between prodigies were rarely seen even in several months, they gradually became more frequent.

Some people recorded the events and were astonished to find... that there were actually the figures of the Jiang family's prodigies among them!

As for the other prodigies, besides the Pure Yang Sword Sect, there were also the Taiyi Dao Sect, the Heavenly Slaughter Temple, the Moon Worshiping Divine Religion, the Tianyi Holy Land, and the Immortal Zhao Family... almost encompassing nearly seventy percent of the top sects in the Eastern Divine Continent!

After many days, the cultivators gradually learned the whole story.

It turned out that all these top sects had established a reward specifically targeting Jiang Xuan, the newly appointed young patriarch of the Jiang family!

The rewards offered were surprisingly consistent.

A Dao-level technique, a king-grade medicinal plant, and a hundred large medicinal plants.

Regarding this, those who observed from the sidelines and the powerful cultivators all had doubts in their hearts.

Such rewards could not be considered meager, after all, the target of the reward, Jiang Xuan, was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the top sects still offered a reward for the young patriarch of the Jiang family, who was suspected of having a bloodline that had regressed to the age of ninety-five... Wasn't this reward a bit too paltry?

Moreover, Jiang Xuan was suspected of having a monstrous talent!

Could it be that these top sects believed that the Jiang family would exhaust all their resources to protect Jiang Xuan and that it would be impossible to successfully assassinate him, so they had given up on the idea and simply made a half-hearted reward?

In the Southern Divine Continent, at the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect...

"Reporting to the Divine Maiden, according to the information sent back by our disciples in the Eastern Divine Continent, that Jiang Xuan has already become the young patriarch of the Jiang family."

"And, various sects in the Eastern Divine Continent have issued rewards for Jiang Xuan."

Wang Steward stood in front of the Divine Maiden Luo Xinglan of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect and respectfully reported. He was in charge of most of the intelligence work in the Eastern Divine Continent and was called by the Divine Maiden today to inquire about Jiang Xuan.

"He has become the young patriarch so quickly... His speed is astonishing." Luo Xinglan's beautiful eyes flickered as she murmured to herself.

She had thought that it would take some time for Jiang Xuan to rise, but she didn't expect his growth speed to be so rapid.

In just a few days, at most half a month, he had gone from a young lord to the young patriarch.

It should be noted that Jiang Xuan's cultivation was still at the Nascent Soul stage and had not yet reached the Spirit Transformation stage!

Luo Xinglan held a letter in her hand, which was Jiang Xuan's reply. The words "I won't go" were clearly visible.

It seemed that she would have to adjust her approach to befriend Jiang Xuan once again.

At this thought, a hint of sadness flashed in Luo Xinglan's beautiful eyes. The other party had already become the young clan leader, reaching the pinnacle of resources and power among the younger generation. How could she show her goodwill and convey her sincerity?

Steward Wang stood respectfully on the side, witnessing the conflicted expression of the goddess. His mind was in turmoil, filled with unease.

Am I relying on it?

Could the goddess still be infatuated with Jiang Xuan?

The previous proposal of marriage had already caused a stir both inside and outside the Divine Sect. Now that it had been rejected, she still couldn't let go?

"Could the goddess be Jiang Xuan's lackey..."

Steward Wang's heart was filled with mixed emotions. As a mere steward, he naturally had no right to inquire about the goddess's affairs. However... the thought of the goddess, who was adored by the entire Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, being infatuated with a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although the other party had now become the young clan leader of the Changsheng Jiang family, based on the information he possessed, Jiang Xuan was nothing more than a pawn pushed out by the Jiang family to deflect attention. How could such a minor character be worthy of the goddess?

After much hesitation, Steward Wang chose to steel himself and respectfully said, "I dare to report some unconfirmed news."

"Speak!" the goddess said calmly.

"Nearly seventy percent of the top Dao lineages in the Eastern Divine Continent have offered a reward for Jiang Xuan, consisting of a Dao-level technique, a king-grade medicinal herb, and a hundred large medicinal herbs," Steward Wang continued.

"A Dao-level technique, a king-grade medicinal herb, and a hundred large medicinal herbs?" Luo Xinglan's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but sneer. She said something that made Steward Wang's mind freeze, "How stingy!"

She was very certain that Jiang Xuan was the monstrous genius who had returned to the ninety-fifth generation of his bloodline.

She even suspected that the so-called other monstrous genius with divine bones was also Jiang Xuan!

After all, in her previous life, Jiang Xuan was an unparalleled existence that the entire Profound Heaven had to look up to. It was not surprising for him to possess both a bloodline that had returned to its ancestors and divine bones.

For such a peerless monstrous genius, they only offered such a meager reward. If it wasn't stinginess, then what was it?

However, she didn't understand why the Jiang family dared to openly display him, even though he was such a peerless monstrous genius. Were they really not afraid of hostile forces causing trouble and directly deploying a Void God Ancestor to kill him?

"Does the Jiang family have absolute confidence, or... are they just foolish?" Luo Xinglan had doubts in her heart.

Steward Wang muttered to himself, "It's over." The goddess's tone undoubtedly confirmed that he was Jiang Xuan's lackey.

Without hesitation, he continued, "Based on the reactions of the major Dao lineages and the recent anomalies emanating from the Jiang family, I suspect that Jiang Xuan, this young clan leader, is just a pawn pushed out by the Jiang family to attract attention and protect the two newly emerged monstrous geniuses with bloodline reversion and divine bones."

"I hope the goddess can see through it. Jiang Xuan..." Steward Wang paused for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Most likely, he is just a discarded pawn of the Jiang family!"

The meaning behind his words couldn't be any clearer.

Buzz...

Luo Xinglan suddenly turned around, her eyes containing starlight, emitting a cold and icy gaze as she stared at Steward Wang. Her tone was serious and cold, "Steward Wang, you should be aware of your position!"

"Today, I will consider your words as unintentional. If there is a next time... apologize on your own."

"I acknowledge my guilt!" Steward Wang knelt down with a thud, drenched in cold sweat. In that moment just now, he clearly sensed the killing intent from the goddess!

His life and death were at the mercy of the goddess's whim!

Luo Xinglan nodded slightly, looking at Steward Wang with indifference. "Order the elder stationed in the Eastern Divine Continent to inform the major Dao lineages in the name of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect to revoke the reward within three days. Otherwise... it will be seen as provoking our Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, and they will bear the consequences!"

Jiang Xuan's progress was too rapid, and now that the invitation to the true god's relic had been rejected, she had to make some gestures to show her goodwill.

Even if it meant angering the Dao lineages of the Eastern Divine Continent, she was willing to do so!

She clearly remembered that in the future, Jiang Xuan alone would be able to suppress the entire Celestial Wonders Realm!

Steward Wang suddenly looked up, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Luo Xinglan. Waves of shock surged in his heart.

This... is too much, right?

Once this order is executed, it will undoubtedly anger all the Dao lineages in the Eastern Divine Continent!

Although the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect had been growing stronger in recent years and had a tendency to dominate the Southern Divine Continent, they still had a long way to go before they could succeed. Moreover... they were the overlords of the Southern Divine Continent, not the Eastern Divine Continent!

The Eastern Divine Continent was recognized as a prosperous land in the Celestial Wonders Realm, and all the top Dao lineages there were suppressing the other divine continents.

Especially... the Yin Yang Sacred Land, recognized as the number one power in the Profound Heaven, was located in the Eastern Divine Continent.

The goddess's order was too bold, wasn't it?!
