Chapter 699: I Want to Cause Trouble

The imperial palace is now divided into five entrances…

The Imperial Family and the Four Great Forces each use one, with powerful isolation Formations between them… making them mutually inaccessible.

This West Gate of the imperial palace is currently the area assigned to the Jixian Sect.

"Damn it!" Sect Master Wu Xinjue gritted his teeth in anger, and Sect Master Xu Yongnian, who stood beside him, also had a very grim expression.

The Jixian Sect had suffered heavy losses of experts during the great war. Now that they were living under someone else's roof, the Old Ancestor remained indifferent to this matter, and the Imperial Family did not stand on their side either…

This left the two Sect Masters feeling frustrated, yet they were helpless.

Nangong Lingxuan was inside her room; her expression was icy, and a surging Killing Intent emanated from her body!

The Jixian Sect Disciples responsible for guarding the West Gate of the imperial city opened the main gate.

The members of the Diao Family strode inside. Diao Peng, along with six Diao Family Elders, held the line. Among the hundreds of direct descendants of the Diao Family, including Diao Peng, there were three experts in the Yuding Realm, and the rest were at the Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm!

This lineup was absolutely impressive enough in Wuhuang Province.

As soon as they entered, the Diao Family members saw Sect Master Wu Xinjue, Sect Master Xu Yongnian, and the others standing inside the West Imperial City.

The two Sect Masters' faces were livid. Behind them stood faces familiar to Xiao Fan: He Yutang, Elder Shi Ji, Elder Shi Pin, Bei Ming, and several Grand Elders of the Jixian Sect.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was using the Spirit Concealment Art to hide his figure, quietly observing the situation from not far away.

"Greetings, Seniors of the Jixian Sect. This Junior, Diao Zhen, pays his respects." Diao Zhen cupped his hands and bowed to Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others.

"Brother Wu, Brother Xu…" Diao Peng cupped his hands and smiled at Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others.

"Diao Peng, why must your Diao Family force others against their will? Nangong Lingxuan does not wish to marry; why are you so insistent?" Sect Master Wu Xinjue said in a deep voice.

"Hehe… Marriage is a major life event, dictated by the orders of parents. This was decided by the Nangong Family long ago; how could my Diao Family break the agreement?" Diao Peng raised an eyebrow.

"Pah, Diao Family, shameless." Elder Shi Pin was furious. Her expression was icy. Nangong Lingxuan was a Disciple from her Zhenyu Peak, yet now she was being forced to marry.

"Elder Shi… This matter cannot be blamed on my Diao Family. After all, this is a Family affair between our two families, isn't it?" Diao Peng laughed.

Although the Jixian Sect was not what it used to be, Elder Shi Pin was certainly not someone to be easily provoked.

In the current great war, Formation Masters were of great use, and the Imperial Family valued them highly.

Originally, Elder Shi Pin and Elder Shi Ji should have been at the Yin and Yang River reinforcing the Formation barriers, but after Nangong Lingxuan sent a message to Elder Shi Pin for help, the two of them rushed back!

However, upon returning, the two of them sought out the Imperial Family, but it was still useless.

The Old Ancestor of the Jixian Sect remained indifferent, and the Imperial Family sided with the Diao Family, aiming to stabilize the Human Race!

"Nangong Lingxuan, my dear wife, come out quickly." Diao Zhen shouted, his face full of a mocking smile.

Every time he thought about what happened at the Auction House before, an inexplicable fire would rise in his heart!

Many Jixian Sect Disciples appeared all around. Those present here were the weaker Disciples of the Jixian Sect; the stronger ones, who had reached the eighth level of the Tongtian Realm and above, had all gone to the barriers!

These Disciples didn't even dare to discuss it loudly and could only watch silently.

At this moment, Nangong Lingxuan, dressed in white, flew in from afar. She held a sword in each hand—one was the Biling Sword, the other the Juque Sword—and looked at the members of the Diao Family with intense Killing Intent.

"Hahaha, my dear wife, you have finally come out. But what are you doing with those weapons?" A greedy smile appeared on Diao Zhen's face. He was already fantasizing in his mind about the scene of pinning Nangong Lingxuan beneath him and doing whatever he wanted.

"Daughter-in-law, is bringing weapons the attitude you show when welcoming your Elders?" Diao Peng sneered.

"Even if I die, I will not marry into your Diao Family!" Nangong Lingxuan said coldly. The Aura of the second level of the Xuandan Realm erupted suddenly, as she prepared to fight to the death!

"Lingxuan, don't do anything rash." Elder Shi Pin hurriedly shouted.

"Don't be impulsive." Sect Master Wu Xinjue also spoke up.

They could both see that Nangong Lingxuan intended to fight the Diao Family to the death!

"Even if I die today, I will not marry into your Diao Family!" Nangong Lingxuan's expression was stern and cold; anyone could tell she was not joking.

"Diao Peng, why must your Diao Family be like this?" Sect Master Wu Xinjue spoke in a deep voice, his face as hard as iron. His own Disciple was being forced to such an extent!

"Nangong Lingxuan, you want to raise your hand against your husband's Family? Do you not want to live anymore?" Diao Peng said coldly. He ignored Sect Master Wu Xinjue and took a step forward. His Aura surged, and the pressure of the Yuanhun Realm bore down on Nangong Lingxuan!

"What do you think you are doing!" Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others were burning with rage, and Elder Shi Pin's Killing Intent was boiling!

The nearby Jixian Sect Disciples had livid faces. Their Senior Sister was being forced into marriage by others, yet now the Sect…

"If I am taking away my Diao Family's daughter-in-law, is your Jixian Sect going to interfere?" Diao Peng said in a deep voice, looking at Sect Master Wu Xinjue!

The Diao Family Elders behind him stepped forward one after another, Killing Intent emerging. If the Jixian Sect made a move, they would naturally fight!

"She does not want to; didn't you hear her?" Elder Shi Pin said coldly. A golden compass appeared in her hand, from which terrifying runes flowed, filled with daunting Killing Intent!

"The Eighth Killing Array!" Diao Peng was shocked. A long spear appeared in his hand, and he dared not be careless!

The Diao Family experts behind him were the same; no one dared to be careless, and they all took out their Magical Artifacts, waiting in full battle array.

The rest of the Jixian Sect Elders, seeing how rampant the Diao Family was, all took out their Magical Artifacts. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

"Swish," "Swish," "Swish"…

At this moment, several streams of light flew in from the distant sky. These people all possessed the cultivation of the Yuanhun Realm, and there were even two experts in the Pi Hai Realm among them; these were all people from the Imperial Family.

"Everyone, I am acting under the orders of the Great King to supervise the wedding and ensure that Diao Zhen and Nangong Lingxuan can complete their marriage today." The leading Pi Hai Realm expert said in a deep voice.

The Jixian Sect members had ugly expressions. Anyone could see that the Imperial Family was determined to favor the Diao Family, even going so far as to send two Pi Hai Realm experts.

Nangong Lingxuan was dressed in white. Her peerlessly beautiful face was icy, and she was prepared to perish together with them.

"Oh? And what if I want to cause trouble?"
