Chapter 493: Yan Linyang


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


“Are you unwilling? You must know that Princess Linyang is known as the number one beauty of the five plains. It is your fortune that Emperor Yan is willing to let her marry into the Xiao family.”


The Xiao family head spoke in a deep voice. He immediately opened his eyes and shot out two sharp rays of light that shone on Xiao Chenggan’s face.


“Father… father, it is not that I am unwilling. It is just a little sudden.”


“One day is enough for you to make preparations. Additionally, many top factions have also returned to partic.i.p.ate in your wedding banquet. Although we can’t say for sure what their intentions are, there’s no doubt that this is an opportunity for you to spread your name throughout the world. Ultimately, the Xiao family’s heir is still not well known to the public.”


“Father, I’m a little curious. Since Emperor Yan is willing to marry Yan Linyang into the Xiao family, father, just what price did you… pay?”


As the future heir of the Xiao family, Xiao Chenggan had the right and the obligation to know the details.


“Indeed, I should tell you. I promised Emperor Yan that from now on, the Xiao family will become the va.s.sal of the Yan Dynasty in the Western Plains.”


Hearing this, Xiao Chenggan sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at his father in great shock. He said word by word, “Father, are you sure? You’re using all your hard work as a wedding dress for others?”


“Chenggan, are you dissatisfied with my judgment?”


“Absolutely not. I’m just curious.”


“Forget it. I should tell you about this. The ident.i.ty of this Princess Linyang, well… She’s quite special. When you two consummate your marriage in the future, you will naturally understand.


“In other words, Princess Linyang is the key to whether our Xiao family can have the first soul formation realm expert.”


“Father! Are you sure? How can there be a soul formation realm expert in the Southern Plains? With the scarce resources, a warrior at the peak of the nascent soul realm is already invincible in the Southern Plains.”


“That’s what makes Princess Linyang so extraordinary, isn’t it? This matter regarding Princess Linyang is of great importance. There are less than ten people who know the truth. However, these ten people are the ones who have the power to overturn all five plains!


“However, once this matter is over and you break through to the soul formation realm in the future, everything will be settled.”


Hearing this, Xiao Chenggan felt a little dizzy.


In this life, he never thought that there would be a day where reaching the legendary soul formation realm is within his grasps. This felt like a dream.


However, the opportunity to advance to the soul formation realm was actually a woman…


At the thought of this, Xiao Chenggan could not help but laugh bitterly.


To be honest, ever since he reached the peak of the core formation realm, Xiao Chenggan had been confused about his future. The nascent soul realm was right in front of his eyes, yet he still could not grasp the opportunity. Moreover, the soul formation realm was an unreachable dream. This made Xiao Chenggan very distressed.


However, he did not expect his father to have already paved the way for him. This made Xiao Chenggan very happy.


Though, apart from being happy, there were also some unnecessary dissatisfactions.


As the heir to the Xiao family, he had become a puppet-like existence. In the end, he was not even as carefree as his sister who had long left the Xiao family.


When he thought of this, Xiao Chenggan’s gaze dimmed.


“Speaking of which, father, do I have a sister?”


“Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?”


“I’m just curious.”


“There are some things you should know. However, there are also some things that you shouldn’t know too much about.”


“Yes, father.”


Xiao Chenggan nodded and left the room.


For an unknown reason, Victor’s figure appeared in Xiao Chenggan’s mind.


However, Xiao Chenggan very quickly shook his head and threw Victor’s figure to the back of his mind.


No matter what, the path in front of him would directly lead him to the soul formation realm. The people who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, or even surpa.s.sed him, had long been left behind him.


Xiao Chenggan had already been excluded from the Men’s List. After all, he had already advanced to the nascent soul realm.


However, there was still no sign of Xiao Chenggan on the Earth List.


Though it was no wonder. In the entire five plains, there were quite a number of nascent soul cultivators. In addition, there were also some reclusive peak nascent soul realm experts. It was within his expectations if he was not included among the 108 spots.


However, due to Xiao Chenggan’s elimination, Victor had also taken a step forward. Moreover, He Qi was also on the Men’s List. That stunning thousand-foot-long heavenly blade had successfully allowed him to enter the 21st place on the Men’s List.


In other words, although Victor had advanced to the 20th place, Yan Qingxin’s ranking had never moved.


After learning that he was on the Men’s List, He Qi was naturally very surprised.


After all, after being unknown for so many years, he had finally become a famous expert on the Men’s List!


“Hey! Do you know that I’m also a famous expert on the man list!” He Qi laughed and patted Victor’s shoulder.


“So what? You’re still below me.”


“This is different. Your name has been spread throughout the entire Central Plains. Who doesn’t know that you, Victor, have caused a huge uproar in the Fire Sect and forced it out of the second-rate rank?


“Also, your actions in the Central Plains Sect Alliance will be exposed sooner or later, but I’m different. This is my first time!”


“Alright, aren’t you embarra.s.sed? It’s only the 21st place, not the first.”


“First place? Are you trying to kill me? The top 10 are all those b*stards from the Northern Plains, each of them stronger than the last. I still have some self-awareness. Hmm… for my next target, I’ll surpa.s.s you first.”


“Surpa.s.s me? In your dreams.”


Victor sneered and no longer paid attention to He Qi.


Yesterday, someone from the Northern Plains’ Sword Cleansing Pond found him. This made Victor very puzzled.


He had even recognized him as a foster father. How could this be reasonable?


Not only that, it seemed that the position and strength of Victor’s foster father were somewhat terrifying. This made Victor even more incredulous.


No matter how amazing his sword intent was, how could the grand elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond take a fancy to it?


The only possibility was that the old man knew about Victor’s strange fate!


Thinking of this, Victor drew a cold breath.


If that was really the case, then the old man was here for the fate of the Eastern Plains in Victor’s body…


“No, if that’s the case, he could’ve attacked me yesterday. Yes, I shouldn’t scare myself.”


Victor sighed and drank up the Northern Plains’ wine in one gulp.


After all, it involved a soul formation realm warrior. It was understandable to feel worried.


“Hey, what are you mumbling about? What do you mean by making a move or not? Have you thought of a way to wreak havoc in the Xiao Family?”


It was only then that Victor realized that he had said what he was thinking just now.


“No, it’s nothing. Regarding the Xiao family’s marriage alliance, I naturally have a way. Don’t interfere.”


“What do you mean?”


“I can’t explain it clearly. In any case, don’t interfere. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you.”


Victor did not reveal the matter of the Sword Cleansing Pond to He Qi. Although the two of them traveled around the world together, Victor could not bear to tell He Qi everything.. After all, he was not some unequaled beauty.
