Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1490: Chapter 72: Being Too Handsome is Also a Trouble_4

Yao Yuangang, Wang Anye had no particular recollection of this man, but the grandeur of the “King Chaoyang” reverberated in his ears like thunder.

This King Chaoyang was once a princess of the Immortal Dynasty, titled “Princess Chaoyang,” and after her promotion to the Transcendent Void Realm, her title was naturally elevated to “King,” making her one of the few advanced Transcendent Void Realm powerhouses in the Immortal Dynasty today.

During his time at the Wang family, he often heard Emperor Longchang mention this “King Chaoyang,” describing her as the famed War Goddess of the Immortal Dynasty who, with spear in hand, had led the Immortal Dynasty’s legions to slaughter the outer domain demons while on the battlefield, truly one of humanity’s main pillars of support.

Such an astonishingly brilliant and world-shaking figure would be treated with utmost respect and courtesy even by Emperor Longchang and Sacred Master Jiang; they wouldn’t even dare to take a few extra breaths in her presence.

“Senior Yao hails from the cold moonlit First Grade Yao family. In his youth, he served alongside the then Princess Chaoyang, now King Chaoyang, founded the Princess Mansion with her, and together they built their remarkable careers. Afterwards, Senior Yao even became the Princess’s Prince Consort,” Jiqianqian explained Yao Yuangang’s background to Wang Anye, knowing he was not from the Immortal Dynasty.

“Because Princess Chaoyang was born at an inopportune time and no unexpected occurrences befell the Immortal Emperor, once she cultivated to the Transcendent Void Realm, she was conferred the title of King Chaoyang according to the Immortal Dynasty’s laws and customs, and Senior Yao naturally became the Prince Consort of King Chaoyang.”

Today, there are merely four princesses in the Immortal Dynasty, but realistically, since the Immortal Emperor first ascended, how could there have been only four princesses? Once princesses reach a certain age and enter the Transcendent Void Realm, they are promoted from princess to “Duke,” thereby losing the right to inherit the throne of the Immortal Emperor.

The princesses existing during the Immortal Emperor’s younger years primarily served as insurance to prevent any mishaps, ensuring that there would not be a shortage of heirs in case anything unforeseen happened to the Immortal Emperor.

“Why would Senior Yao come to the Ji Family?” Jiqianqian wondered, her expression suddenly shifting as she thought of something, “Not good, it’s possible that our information has been leaked.”

With that said, she swiftly streaked toward the VIP hall, with Wang Anye following closely behind, matching her pace side by side.

The two had just reached the VIP hall when they, sure enough, heard the suppressed roar of the Ji family’s Old Ancestor: “Prince Consort Yao, how can you make such excessive demands?”

“Your Chaoyang King Mansion already has two Transcendent Void Realm masters, surely your child can easily inherit one of them.”

Even in immense anger, the Ji family Old Ancestor dared not curse outright.

“Old Ancestor Yuangxing, please do not be enraged. Our Chaoyang King Mansion indeed possesses two Transcendent Void Codices,” Yao Yuangang said calmly, “but you also understand that Chaoyang’s Codices are public Codices of the Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Household, and are special Codices that can only be cultivated by successive princesses.”

“As for this Codex of mine, it was originally property of the Yao family. Now that I am old, it is only right to return it to the Yao family, and it should not remain in Chaoyang King Mansion.”

The face of the Ji family Old Ancestor turned dark, so your family has already found successors for its Codices, and now you come for the Ji family’s Codex?

“Do not be enraged, do not be enraged,” Yao Yuangang continued to persuade, “You of all people, Old Ancestor Yuangxing, know the current state of the Ji family. Rather than holding a golden rice bowl to beg for food, it’s better to exchange for resources of astronomical value. And as you know, our Chaoyang family has always been generous.”

After taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the Ji family Old Ancestor spoke furiously: “Prince Consort Yao, I just want to ask one question, how did your Chaoyang King Mansion come to know that our family possesses a Codex? Aside from our core members, no one else is aware.”

“Haha, this, well, your brother Ji Yanchang of the Ji family, and our child Yun Tai’an, are the best of friends. In a moment of carelessness, the matter was ‘slipped.’”

“Ji Yanchang, you vile beast, how dare you!” The Ji family Old Ancestor was almost dead from rage, and roared on the spot.

“Old Ancestor, hasn’t our family, since times immemorial, exhausted countless resources for the sake of inheriting that damnable Sword Array Codex?” A ‘young man’ also angrily responded, “And I’m roughly the same age and equally talented as Ji Yanxiu, so why is he able to consume the 7th Rank Heavenly Vein Holy Pill and rise to Great Heavenly Proud? Why must I, Ji Yanchang, always be just a Sky Pride?”

“You fool, our family can only afford a single Great Heavenly Proud,” cursed the Ji family Old Ancestor, raging to the extreme.

“I am not satisfied! If I could become a Great Heavenly Proud, perhaps I could inherit the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes,” the young man named Ji Yanchang said with a somewhat distorted face, “Why should I sacrifice for Ji Yanxiu? Why should Jiqianqian also sacrifice for him? And yet that useless person has failed!”

“Now the Chaoyang King Mansion will not take our Codex for nothing; they will give us huge compensation, and then our family will no longer lack money, and I too can become a Great Heavenly Proud.”

“Vile offspring, vile offspring!” the Ji family Old Ancestor sighed deeply towards the sky.

Wang Anye was also stunned, hardly able to believe that someone would sell out their family interests so righteously…

But the catastrophe of the Ji family was not over yet.

Suddenly, a thunderous voice was heard at the doorway: “Old Ancestor Yuangxing, Wei is here for a visit, I hope you can spare some time to meet.”
