As the First Sequence, he had once respectfully requested Ah Jiu to become his master.
Ah Jiu refused.
But now, she willingly became Jun Xiaoyao's guardian.
This difference in treatment was too great.
Jun Lingcang admitted that he was a bit jealous.
After all, he couldn't forget.
In his youth, he was attracted by a melody and walked to a desolate courtyard, where he saw that beautiful silhouette playing the zither under the moonlight.
One glance, and it became unforgettable.
Even later, when Jun Lingcang's twin pupils shocked the world and he became the high-ranking First Sequence, he still couldn't forget that silhouette.
Now, he had returned from training in the ancient forbidden land.
He thought he finally had the qualifications to make Ah Jiu look at him and become his master.
Who would have thought that Ah Jiu had already become Jun Xiaoyao's guardian.
Anyone would find this hard to accept.
However, Jun Lingcang, worthy of being the Jun family's First Sequence, had a deep personality, as calm as still water.
He showed no anger or rage, remaining very peaceful.
Jun Daolin began complaining to Jun Lingcang.
"Lord Lingcang, you don't know how much the family favors the Divine Son. Last time I wanted to get ten celestial sources, but the family elders said they needed to be given to the Divine Son for cultivation."
Jun Daolin felt depressed thinking about this.
He wanted to take a few celestial sources to test a new formation, but was told all the sources needed to be given to Jun Xiaoyao.
This left Jun Daolin speechless. He was one of the Ten Sequences after all, was this how he should be treated?
"Indeed, the family favors the Divine Son too much. Even some resources that originally belonged to Lord Lingcang were all given to the Divine Son," Jun Xiyu also spoke up, feeling indignant for Jun Lingcang.
Her admiration for Jun Lingcang was equivalent to Jun Lingrong and Jun Xuehuang's admiration for Jun Xiaoyao.
She even believed that Jun Lingcang was the strongest of the younger generation in the immortal realm.
Even Jun Xiaoyao couldn't compare.
"This is indeed somewhat inappropriate," Jun Lingcang said calmly.
"So Lord Lingcang, now that you're finally back, you must suppress the Divine Son's influence, don't let the family favor him too much," Jun Daolin said.
Jun Lingcang said coldly, "Are you suggesting that I should suppress my cousin?"
Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu remained silent, but clearly had that intention.
"Foolish!"
Jun Lingcang's face turned slightly cold.
Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu were both stunned, unable to react for a moment.
"Did the family nurture you Sequences just for you to scheme against each other?" Jun Lingcang scolded coldly.
"But Lord Lingcang..." Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu both wanted to argue something.
They felt the Jun family favored Jun Xiaoyao too much and was unfair to Jun Lingcang.
"Competition is fine, but what you should be competing for is killing ancient royal clans and competing with other ancient family's geniuses, not fighting among ourselves." Jun Lingcang stood up with an indifferent expression.
"I'm very disappointed in you." Jun Lingcang turned his back, standing with his hands behind him.
"Please forgive us, Lord Lingcang!" The two quickly bowed.
Seeing this, other family elders of this branch couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Jun Lingcang was truly worthy of being the leader of the First Sequence.
Think about it, how could the ancient Jun family let someone with improper thoughts and a perverse personality be their leader?
"It's good that you realize your mistake. Don't let it happen again." Jun Lingcang's tone softened slightly.
The two stood up.
However, Jun Xiyu showed no signs of grievance, instead her eyes showed even more admiration when looking at Jun Lingcang.
This was the true leader of the Jun family, with a heart as vast as the sea.
In comparison, although Jun Xiaoyao's personality was also supremely domineering, he was somewhat selfish, thinking only of himself, not even leaving them a bit of celestial sources.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiyu felt indignant for Jun Lingcang.
Why wasn't Jun Lingcang the Zero Sequence instead of Jun Xiaoyao?
"Is my cousin still in closed cultivation?" Jun Lingcang asked.
"That's right," Jun Daolin replied.
"What a pity, I wanted to see what kind of person he is," Jun Lingcang shook his head slightly.
Hearing these words, whether it was Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu, or the other family elders of this branch, all showed shocked expressions.
It seemed Jun Lingcang hadn't given up on competing with Jun Xiaoyao.
Ah Jiu was still a thorn in his heart.
"Jun Xiaoyao, I will defeat you fair and square, to let Ah Jiu understand who is truly worthy of following..." Jun Lingcang stood with his hands behind his back, muttering in his heart.
He wouldn't use any underhanded methods.
Instead, he wanted to defeat Jun Xiaoyao openly and fairly.
Only then could he prove himself to Ah Jiu.
The news of Jun Lingcang's return to the Jun family spread.
Those forces hostile to the Jun family all wore worried expressions.
Just one Jun Xiaoyao was already overwhelming, and now there was another First Sequence twin pupil holder.
Many believed that the Jun family's younger generation might dominate the entire immortal realm.
Among them, the most worried was the Ancestral Dragon's Nest.
As the Jun family's number one old rival.
The Ancestral Dragon's Nest had suffered consecutive defeats.
Dragon Son Long Haotian was killed, Long Bichi was so scared by Jun Xiaoyao that her dao heart almost collapsed, and even the dragon bones were taken by Jun Xiaoyao.
It could be said they were in a miserable state.
Yet their most excellent genius, Long Aotian, was still in closed cultivation.
This meant the Ancestral Dragon's Nest's younger generation had hardly anyone capable of fighting.
"Twin dragons emerge, ancestral dragons shall rise - was that prophecy really true?"
Even within the Ancestral Dragon's Nest, some elders began to doubt.
Just as the Ancestral Dragon's Nest was nearly worried sick.
In the Black Desert State, one of the Three Thousand Dao States.
A blood-covered youth who appeared mentally unstable was frantically rushing towards a location.
"Finally collected them all, Jun Xiaoyao, you're dead, no one can save you this time!"
This youth was naturally Xiao Chen.
After Azure Dragon Elder saved him from his predicament, Xiao Chen had been collecting the blood of young boys and girls, and quickly gathered them all.
Now Xiao Chen had only one thought in his mind.
That was to kill Jun Xiaoyao!
"Sigh..." Azure Dragon Elder was sighing.
A perfectly fine spirited young man, reduced to this state between human and ghost, it was lamentable.
"The Jun family's Divine Son is too terrifying, only the ancient monster from the Ancestral Dragon's Nest can suppress him," Azure Dragon Elder thought.
A few days later, Xiao Chen returned to that ancient nest.
The moment he stepped into the nest, that ancient monster sensed it.
"Heh... as this palace expected, mortal, you've come..." A cold female voice with a hint of mockery rang out.
It seemed everything was within her calculations and control.
"I've brought what you wanted, but you must first agree to my conditions," Xiao Chen's voice was hoarse, his bloodshot eyes looking as if they would devour someone.
"Speak." The female voice coldly uttered a single word.
"I want you to help me kill the Jun family's current Divine Son, Jun Xiaoyao!"
Xiao Chen spoke each word with iron-clad determination!
