Chapter 497 - : Are You Serious?
Upon hearing this, Jian Haomiao spat out all the wine he drank. He looked at Victor in disbelief and lowered his voice, “Brat! Are you crazy? Do you really want Princess Linyang?”
“Why not? She’s the number one beauty of the five plains. If he, Xiao Chenggan, can marry her, why can’t I? Am I worse than him?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! What if Emperor Yan finds out? Putting me aside, what about the Sword Cleansing Pond?”
“Oh, so what you said before was all a lie? Ha, you’re already an adult, don’t you know how to keep your word? Forget it, I don’t have any other requests. Regardless, you don’t stay true to your words.”
Victor curled his lips and slowly stood up, preparing to leave.
“Brat, what are you going to do?”
“If you’re not going to snatch her for me, of course, I will.”
“You don’t want to live anymore? The Xiao family attaches great importance to this marriage alliance. On the other hand, just the nascent soul realm alone, there are over a dozen people. With just you? What right do you have? Come back first, we can discuss this matter again.”
Jian Haomiao waved his hand and summoned Victor back to his side, continuing, “Brat, are you serious? Are you really going to snatch Princess Linyang?”
“Tsk, how can I be lying? Although I’m aware that I don’t have the qualifications to marry the princess, I can still ruin this matter. I doubt that snatching Princess Linyang under the nose of the Xiao family wouldn’t cause the heart of the Western Plains Dynasty to feel uneasy!”
“Then why are you doing this?”
“There’s a little conflict between the Xiao family and me. Even if you didn’t bring me in, I still planned to sneak in and cause them some trouble. So, are you going to snatch her for me or not? If you don’t make a move, I will.”
“Brat, since I’ve said it, I naturally won’t go back on my word. However, I naturally don’t need to personally make a move on this matter.”
As soon as Jian Haomiao finished speaking, a powerful aura spread out, causing the entire Xiao Family City to tremble!
Not long after, an alarm sounded in the city. An external enemy had attacked!
“Hehe, that prodigal came after all.”
Hearing this, Jian Haomiao laughed lightly, as if this scene was within his expectations! It had long been within his expectations.
“Prodigal? Who is it?”
“Brat, do you know how many people are on the Heaven List?”
“36, I think.”
“That’s right. Including those old geezers that have remained hidden for a long time, where none of us know if they are alive or dead, there are a total of 36 soul formation realm cultivators in the five plains. However, in reality, the number is lower. In my opinion, in the five plains, there are at most 17 soul formation realm warriors. Moreover, among these 17, there is one such person. He doesn’t belong to any faction or sect, but he is able to amaze everyone and become one of the most powerful warriors in the world.
“That person’s name is Zong Tianyun.”
“Zong Tianyun?”
“That’s right, this person is very special. He doesn’t like fame or wealth but has a special liking for all the beauties in the world. He once swore to marry all the beautiful women in the world.”
Hearing this, Victor already understood what Jian Haomiao meant.
If he wanted to marry all the beauties in the world, he naturally would not avoid Princess Linyang, the number one beauty of all five plains.
“Before this, Zong Tianyun had more than once proposed marriage to the Western Plains Dynasty. He wanted to marry Princess Linyang but was rejected by the emperor. Today is the day that Princess Linyang and Xiao Chenggan are getting married. He naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. I have been wondering if he would show up. Now he seems to have just made it right on time.”
Jian Haomiao laughed out loud as his eyes flashed with a bright light.
In truth, the other factions were also waiting for this person to make a move. It would be best if he kidnapped Princess Linyang. They could either admire the show from afar or save Princess Linyang, doing the Western Plains Dynasty a favor.
No matter what, this was a deal that would bring them no loss.
At the same time, outside the Xiao family, the Xiao family head frowned as he looked at Zong Tianyun who was standing in the air not far away. A cold gleam flashed across his eyes.
“Zong Tianyun, the Xiao family doesn’t welcome you.”
“Do I need you to tell me? Scram! I want to see Princess Linyang. If not, do you believe me when I say I’ll make your Xiao family’s name disappear from the Southern Prefecture?”
“I knew it. You definitely won’t give up. Even though it’s just a clone, it’s enough to stop you.”
As the sound of his voice faded, a golden silhouette appeared. It was the emperor of the Western Plains Dynasty!
“Emperor, I asked you to marry Linyang to me, but you didn’t want to. Instead, you turned around and married the Xiao family. To be honest, I don’t understand.”
“If you don’t understand, what does it have to do with me? If you lave now, I’ll spare your life.”
“Hehe, emperor, 70 years ago, when you just entered the soul formation realm and I was only at the peak of the nascent soul realm, you were already no match for me. Now, with a mere clone, do you think you have the chance to win?”
“I can suppress you with one hand!”
..
Hearing the voice from outside, Victor pushed Jian Haomiao beside him and said, “Old man, aren’t you going to lend a hand?”
“Why should I?”
“Help Zong Tianyun. Help him take the princess away and then you snatch her over.”
“Go away, go away. If I interfere, do you believe that from today on, the Xiao family will actually be eliminated? Zong Tianyun is not weak, to begin with. It may be difficult to fight against two by himself, but the clone of the emperor can’t do anything to him.”
“Damn, is this person so fierce?”
“Do you think? From a freelance martial artist to today’s top expert, in terms of talent, there is probably no one in this world who is stronger than Zong Tianyun!”
“Of course, if he wanted to snatch Princess Linyang, there would probably be a certain degree of difficulty. Perhaps the Xiao family has already found a helper. In short, unless it is necessary, I will not act!”
“What about the princess?”
“That I don’t know. In any case, she’s not fated with you. However, didn’t you say that it’s fine even if it is ruined?”
“But what does this have to do with you? No, my request is to snatch the princess. Snatch it for me!”
“Scram, scram! Don’t bother me. I will think about it again.”Jian Haomiao sent Victor to the side while he continued to drink his wine.
“Actually, this kid’s identity is enough. The reason why the Western Plains Dynasty allied with the Xiao family through marriage is because of the Xiao family’s status. It’s neither too high nor too low. If it’s the Sword Cleansing Pond, then the Western Plains Dynasty will be climbing up the ladder. Moreover, the Western Plains Dynasty and the Xiao family may have other motives for joining forces through marriage…
“Furthermore, compared to the Xiao family, the other powers definitely wouldn’t wanna see the Western Plains Dynasty allied with the Sword Cleansing Pond. Hmm… this matter isn’t very feasible…
“However, since that brat really likes her, it’s not that I can’t help him. After all, that old b*stard Guan Xing did ask me to take care of this brat…
“Forget it, I’ll help him. At most, I’ll personally go to the emperor’s house for a marriage proposal.”
Thinking of this, Jian Haomiao turned around, but Victor had long disappeared.
Jian Haomiao’s eyes flashed, and he sucked in a breath of cold air!
He did not know when, but this brat had actually left the banquet hall and was headed toward Princess Linyang’s location!
