Xianxia: I Can Download Fully Levelled Abilities - Chapter 498

“Brat! Stop right there!”

Jian Haomiao slapped his thigh and disappeared from the spot.

In the next moment, Victor was held in Jian Haomiao’s hand like a small chick and was brought back to the banquet hall in a huff.

“Brat, are you crazy?”

“How am I crazy? Haven’t you heard of taking advantage of someone else’s crisis?”

“Scram, scram, scram. Is this how you take advantage? Even if you can snatch Princess Linyang away from more than ten nascent soul cultivators, are you sure you want to live a life where you’ll be constantly hunted by others?”

“I don’t care. From the Eastern Plains to the Central Plains, when did I not narrowly escape death? After being hunted for so long, I’m already used to it.”

Victor curled his lips and struggled to break free from Jian Haomiao’s restraints. He smoothed out his wrinkled clothes and said, “Moreover, I don’t really like Princess Linyang. So what if she’s beautiful? I have four beautiful wives!

“It’s just that there’s this girl I love and she once said to me that even if she died, she wouldn’t want to return to that cage. So, I was thinking if I could let her escape? Or… I could kill her and free her…”

For some reason, when Victor first saw Princess Linyang, he thought of Lian Hua.

Both of them were so similar that they even had the same inexplicable worry embedded within their smiles.

“Do you know what you’re saying? You want to kill Princess Linyang? Kid, do you know her identity? Do you know why out of the many princesses the emperor has, Princess Linyang is the one who’s getting married?”

“I don’t know. Is it because of her beauty?”

“Tsk, it’s related to benefits. Even if it’s an ugly woman, Xiao Chenggan will still accept it. Although I can’t tell you some things, let’s put it this way. Even if you’re a cripple, you can still advance to the nascent soul realm after marrying Princess Linyang!”

“What the f*ck? Is that true? Old man, don’t lie to me!”

“Why would I lie to you? Although there are less than ten people who know the truth about this matter, I can tell you clearly that Princess Linyang is not as simple as you think!”

“Isn’t she just a human-shaped cauldron?”

“You can think of it that way. In short, even if you take her in, I have no objections. But killing her is absolutely not allowed.”

“Why should I take her in? I don’t even know her. Let’s just kill her and end this once and for all. I’m certain she’s tired from being treated as property.”

“This has nothing to do with you. Don’t stir up trouble.”

Jian Haomiao slapped Victor’s head. The latter immediately lost consciousness and fainted.

..

At the same time, outside the Xiao family, Zong Tianyun was battling the Xiao family head and Emperor Yan’s clone. For a moment, he was not disadvantaged!

“As I expected, Emperor Yan. If your real body appears, I won’t have the confidence to take Princess Linyang away. However, looking at your current state, tsk tsk tsk, I was wondering why you wanted to marry the Xiao family. Perhaps, you’re interested in the Xiao family’s fate?”

“This is between me and the Xiao family. What does it have to do with you, Zong Tianyun?”

“Zong Tianyun, did you really expect me to not know that you’ll be coming back? I’ve just been waiting for you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear shadow flashed across the banquet hall. In the next moment, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of Zong Tianyun.

The dean of the Peerless Academy, Li Jinyan, a soul formation realm expert!

“Li Jinyan, are you going to interfere in our affairs?”

“That time, you came to the Peerless Academy, wanting to kidnap my daughter, Emperor Yan was the one who chased you away. Today, Emperor Yan asked me to help him. How could I not help him?”

“Me too! Zong Tianyun, you b*stard! I was certain you will come back today. As expected! Today, I will take revenge for my poor disciple!”

The sect master of Roaring Tiger Palace, peak nascent soul realm cultivator, Hu Xiaokuan!

“Good! Li Jinyan, Hu Xiaokuan, if you interfere today, I will definitely pay you a visit in the future!”

“Do you think you’ll have the chance to leave?” Hu Xiaokuan sneered and pulled out a broadsword that was as tall as a man and held it in front of his chest.

“Hehe, you found helpers? How could I come alone? Senior, if you show up now, when will you?”

As Zong Tianyun’s voice fell, Jian Haomiao sighed softly. His figure flashed and he stood side by side with Zong Tianyun.

“Jian Haomiao? The Sword Cleansing Pond also wants to interfere in this matter?”

Emperor Yan stared at the old man in front of him with extreme fear, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Emperor Yan was clear about Jian Haomiao’s strength. Back then, when he was still the crown prince, Jian Haomiao was already well-known throughout the world. Together with his junior brother, Li Mubai, they became the two absolute experts in sword dao.

Li Hanlin’s sword intent was focused on power. With the power of the heavens and earth, it was unstoppable!

However, Jian Haomiao’s sword intent was focused on might. With a single slash of his sword, mountains and rivers would be shattered!

As long as Jian Haomiao wanted to, he could kill everyone present!

“I originally didn’t want to interfere in this matter. However, seeing the Western Plains Dynasty and the Xiao family form an alliance through marriage, not just me but all the other sects and forces also do not wish to see this. Of course, I will not help Zong Tianyun kidnap Princess Linyang. I will be responsible for stopping Brother Jinyan and Hu Xiaokuan.”

As he spoke, Jian Haomiao used his finger as a sword and lightly tapped out, tearing the void apart!

“The two of you, how about just standing by and watching?”

Things had already come to this and even Jian Haomiao had joined the battle. Li Jinyan and Hu Xiaokuan naturally did not dare to act rashly and could only put things aside.

The situation had returned to the initial stage.

Zong Tianyun was fighting one against two against Emperor Yan’s clone and the Xiao family head.

“Emperor Yan, I’m sure you heard my words just now. I can help you, but only if the Western Plains Dynasty does not marry the Xiao family.”

“I will never go back on my words.”

“In that case, I have nothing to say.”

Jian Haomiao shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and watched the three of them fight quietly.

In fact, from the beginning of this battle, the outcome had already been decided. Although the clone of Emperor Yan had 50% of the original body’s spiritual power, this was the Southern Plains after all. Most likely, the martial arts possessed by the dynasty could not be used. Furthermore, without the blessing of the imperial jade seal and dragon qi… The strength of Emperor Yan’s clone was only equivalent to a half-step soul formation realm cultivator.

However, Zong Tianyun was a top-tier powerhouse in the soul formation realm. Initially, with the help of Li Jinyan, he could firmly suppress Zong Tianyun and even be confident in killing him. However, Jian Haomiao’s attack had disrupted Emperor Yan’s plan, which made him a little upset.

“Jian Haomiao, I am willing to return Li Hanlin’s Yang Sword to the Sword Cleansing Pond and give ten heaven-grade magic artifacts as a gift. Help me kill this monster!”

“So my junior brother’s sword is really with you. However, it doesn’t matter. So what if I give it to you? The truly powerful ones are never the magic weapons, but the people who use them. Even if I give you immortal-grade magic artifacts, you won’t even have a fraction of my junior brother’s strength. Therefore, this transaction is not worth it. I refuse.”
