Not long after, inside a palace hall.
Jun Xiaoyao sat in the seat of honor.
Jiang Yunran, First Prince Jiang Haomiao, Fifth Prince Jiang Tianlan, Seventh Princess Jiang Wanyi, and other direct descendants of the Jiang Family were all present.
Jiang Chen was also there.
Regardless of everything, he was still the Young Master of Guantian Pavilion, so he was qualified to attend by virtue of his status.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jun Xiaoyao did not beat around the bush and said directly.
"I have decided to go to Wangsheng Cave to rescue Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong, who is trapped within."
With that one sentence, the entire hall fell silent.
Then, there was widespread shock and astonishment.
"Brother Xiaoyao…"
A look of astonishment flashed across Jiang Yunran's beautiful eyes.
"Brother Jun, this cannot be done…" First Prince Jiang Haomiao was also startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Even their Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, despite exhausting every method, had been unable to rescue Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong.
How could Jun Xiaoyao possibly succeed?
"This matter is decided, so there is no need for you all to say more."
"I am merely informing you all," Jun Xiaoyao said.
The expressions of everyone present were uncertain and shifting.
Jiang Chen's expression also carried a hint of appropriate surprise.
In his heart, however, thoughts were stirring.
"Then, will there be any experts from our Immortal Dynasty accompanying you this time?" First Prince Jiang Haomiao asked.
Jun Xiaoyao said: "Going to Wangsheng Cave is not a matter of the higher the cultivation, the better; there is no need to bring too many people."
Upon hearing this.
A dark glint flashed in the depths of Jiang Chen's eyes.
"I will go too," Jiang Yunran suddenly said.
Jun Xiaoyao looked over, somewhat surprised.
Most people would avoid a dangerous place like Wangsheng Cave as if it were a plague.
Jiang Yunran certainly had courage.
"Nonsense, Ninth Sister, what are you going for?" First Prince Jiang Haomiao frowned.
With Jun Xiaoyao's unfathomable cultivation strength, even he might not know the outcome.
Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for Jiang Yunran to go?
"That Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong is the ancient ancestor of our lineage."
"And as a direct descendant, I might be able to play a role when the time comes," Jiang Yunran said.
Her words were not without reason.
Between certain inherited Bloodlines, there is often a mutual resonance.
With Jiang Yunran present, it might be easier to sense the location of Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong.
"Then let me go; I can do it too," First Prince Jiang Haomiao said.
They were both from the same lineage.
"No, I will go."
When Jiang Yunran said this, those autumn-water-like eyes glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.
First Prince Jiang Haomiao was stunned, seemingly understanding something.
Could it be that Jiang Yunran wanted to go because she was worried about Jun Xiaoyao?
To the side, Jiang Chen saw this and remained expressionless, but felt a stinging pain in his heart.
He could also see that Jiang Yunran was worried about Jun Xiaoyao's safety in Wangsheng Cave and was uneasy, which is why she wanted to accompany him.
How long had they even been together, and she was already worried to this extent?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen also spoke up: "I want to go too."
"Young Master, you?"
First Prince Jiang Haomiao was stunned.
Was Wangsheng Cave some kind of tourist attraction? Why did they all want to go?
"I am, after all, the Young Master of Guantian Pavilion, and I have some expertise in various forms of divination and fortune-telling."
"When the time comes, I might be able to help you all inside Wangsheng Cave."
Jiang Chen's reasoning was such that no one could find a reason to refute it.
"Cousin Yunran, that Wangsheng Cave is very dangerous; I fear your Imperial Father will not…"
In Jun Xiaoyao's view, Jiang Tailin likely would not let his daughter easily risk danger.
"I will go and explain," Jiang Yunran said.
Afterwards, Jiang Yunran left.
Not long after, Jiang Yunran returned.
To Jun Xiaoyao's surprise, Jiang Tailin had actually not opposed Jiang Yunran going.
Was this because he had absolute confidence in Jun Xiaoyao, believing that he could return safely?
Afterwards, the few of them briefly discussed it, and Jiang Yunran and the others went to prepare.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed slightly.
He also understood that Jiang Yunran seemed to have some feelings for him.
This was also normal.
In fact, women who did not have feelings for Jun Xiaoyao after meeting him were the rare species.
Jun Xiaoyao also saw a shadow of Jiang Shengyi in Jiang Yunran.
Shaking his head slightly, Jun Xiaoyao pushed those thoughts aside.
"Furthermore, Jiang Chen did not disappoint my expectations," Jun Xiaoyao smiled indifferently.
He could have easily not told Jiang Yunran and the others about going to Wangsheng Cave.
Jun Xiaoyao's main purpose was to tell Jiang Chen.
This ploy of luring the snake out of the hole was to see if Jiang Chen would try to cause trouble.
Previously in the Lingyang Ancient Realm, First Prince Jiang Haomiao and the others were besieged.
And in the Emperor Fall Battlefield, he was besieged by the Blue Demon Heavenly King and others.
Without a doubt, it was Jiang Chen and 10th Prince Yu Huatian and the others causing trouble.
Since they wanted to cause trouble so much.
Then Jun Xiaoyao would naturally give them that opportunity.
"Next, I will rescue Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong and deal with Jiang Chen and the others."
"Once all of this is over, the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty can stabilize, and this matter can be considered concluded."
Jun Xiaoyao contemplated the subsequent sequence of events.
He did not factor failure into his plans.
Because those two words did not exist in Jun Xiaoyao's dictionary.
Once all of this was over and the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty had stabilized, Jun Xiaoyao could leave.
He still had many things to do and could not stay here forever.
Jun Xiaoyao went to find Sang Yu, preparing to discuss the next steps with her.
At the same time.
In another ancient pavilion in Tianyu Imperial City.
Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, a strange look flickering in his eyes.
"This… should be the best opportunity, and also the only opportunity."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Jun Xiaoyao was already far beyond an existence that he could deal with through normal means.
Even if he were to Cultivate for another hundred thousand years, it would be futile.
After the incident at the Emperor Fall Battlefield.
Jiang Chen also understood completely that wanting to openly defeat Jun Xiaoyao in terms of martial power was already a fantasy.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao's status in the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty now went without saying.
If Jun Xiaoyao stayed in the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, he would not be able to find a single opportunity.
As luck would have it, Jun Xiaoyao chose this exact moment to explore Wangsheng Cave, one of the Ten Great Wonders.
This was practically a gentleman standing beneath a crumbling wall.
"This is the only opportunity; if something goes wrong this time, dealing with Jun Xiaoyao will be almost impossible."
A look of determination appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
If he could find a way to make Jun Xiaoyao perish in Wangsheng Cave.
That would be convenient.
Because perishing in such a place was perfectly normal, and no one would suspect him.
Moreover, Jiang Chen had his own methods—his Golden Finger—and he was confident that he could escape from Wangsheng Cave.
Therefore, the only problem now was how to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.
"Right, that guy 10th Prince Yu Huatian did not make a move last time."
"He was quite shrewd, letting the Blue Demon Heavenly King and the others test the waters while he watched from the sidelines."
"This guy hides quite deep; he might have a way to deal with Jun Xiaoyao."
A dark look appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
Immediately after, he took out a Jade Slip.
After some operations, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
"Next, I can watch a good show."
"However, this 10th Prince Yu Huatian is also a threat; sooner or later, he will make a move against me."
"If he and Jun Xiaoyao could perish together in Wangsheng Cave, that would be for the best."
Many calculations flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.
Success or failure hinged on this one attempt.
