788: Chapter 787 A God-Sent Opportunity

"Boom—!!!"

With a deafening roar, a bolt of purple lightning cascaded from the heavens. Its speed was astonishing, like a purple sword cleaving down from the high skies.

The lightning struck the azure palm with pinpoint accuracy. Purple and azure light intertwined, bursting into a blinding radiance.

Under the bombardment of the purple lightning, the azure palm instantly collapsed, turning into bubbles of energy.

Azure fragments splattered in all directions, transforming into a sky full of azure specks of light that drifted away in the Void Realm.

The two death soldiers instantly felt the pressure on their bodies ease.

Knowing that First Prince Jun Wentian had made his move, they immediately continued to flee into the distance.

Their speed increased even further, not daring to stop or hesitate for even a single moment.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan looked at the purple lightning high in the sky, a smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"Jun Wentian, did you think that just because you're hiding in the shadows, I wouldn't know it's you?"

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan barked softly.

As her voice fell, an azure golden body over five hundred Zhang tall towered behind her!

The golden body was towering and majestic, standing between heaven and earth like an azure mountain Peak.

The golden body's face bore some resemblance to Patriarch Liu Qingxuan, but it was far more majestic and powerful.

The golden body wore a suit of azure armor covered in intricate runes, which emitted a faint azure glow.

Azure light swirled around the golden body like an azure mist, enveloping it within.

A golden body over five hundred Zhang tall—this was the hallmark of a Peak Great Grandmaster.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan's body merged into the golden body. Wrapped in azure light, her figure vanished inside it.

An even brighter light shone from the golden body's eyes.

Immediately after, azure light flowed across the azure golden body, and lines of azure patterns lit up on it.

The golden body extended its finger, pointing toward the two death soldiers.

Two azure chains shot out from the golden body's fingertips at an astonishing speed, leaving two azure trails in the air.

The chains were azure, as thick as arms, with complex runes flowing across their surfaces, emitting a faint azure light.

Like two azure spirit snakes, they slithered through the Void Realm, wrapping toward the two death soldiers.

Wherever the chains passed, ripples of black appeared in space, and the air made a sizzling sound.

The chains grew faster and faster, catching up to the two death soldiers in the blink of an eye.

High in the sky, First Prince Jun Wentian watched the azure chains below, but the black tribulation lightning in his hand delayed in falling.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

While his intervention could indeed block the azure chains and save the two death soldiers, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan would definitely deduce his identity!

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan was no ordinary person; she was the Clan Chief of the Liu Family, a Peak Great Grandmaster, and had clashed with him multiple times.

The moment he made a move, she would recognize his identity from his lightning.

At this moment, his injuries had not yet fully healed.

The damage caused to him by that single droplet from Qin Yan's black lightning ball was immense.

His True Qi was currently in disarray and had not yet completely settled.

In his current state, facing Patriarch Liu Qingxuan, it would be extremely difficult to even defeat her, let alone kill her.

And if he couldn't kill her, his identity would be leaked.

At that time, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan would make this matter public—the First Prince of the Guhen Kingdom, assassinating a Prodigy of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Once this news spread, let alone inheriting the throne, whether he could even keep his status as the First Prince would be a question.

The wrath of the Taixuan Holy Land was not something the Guhen Kingdom could withstand!

If he killed Qin Yan, he would face the wrath of the Taixuan Holy Land.

If he couldn't kill him, he would have buried a massive landmine for himself.

With Qin Yan's talent, as long as he didn't fall, he would definitely become a peerless powerhouse in the future!

Furthermore, Jiang Li, who was beside him, had parents who were both True King experts. In terms of status, she was even more precious than he was!

After weighing all considerations, he ultimately chose not to act.

He couldn't afford to gamble, and he couldn't afford to lose.

Below, the azure chains pierced straight through the bodies of the two death soldiers.

The chains passed through their chests and emerged from their backs, as azure light erupted within their bodies.

The bodies of the two death soldiers immediately fell from the sky to the ground, completely devoid of any life aura.

Seeing this, First Prince Jun Wentian glared intently at Patriarch Liu Qingxuan, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent.

He swore that if he ever got the chance in the future, he would definitely make Patriarch Liu Qingxuan die and erase the Liu Family from the Guhen Kingdom!

This Patriarch Liu Qingxuan had ruined his plans, killed his subordinates, and almost forced him to expose his identity.

He would remember this debt.

First Prince Jun Wentian took a deep breath, calming the rage and killing intent in his heart, and walked away into the distance.

His heart was currently filled with immense resentment.

With Patriarch Liu Qingxuan here, wanting to kill Qin Yan was nothing short of a fool's dream.

His heart bled today—not only did he fail to kill Qin Yan, but he also lost two high-stage spirit talismans, and to make matters worse, two Peak Grandmaster death soldiers had died!

A Tier Nine High Grade defensive talisman, a Tier Eight High Grade speed talisman, and two Peak Grandmaster death soldiers—these were the assets he had accumulated over many years, obtained at a massive cost.

Now, they were all gone.

He had suffered a devastating loss!

First Prince Jun Wentian sank his consciousness into his mind. At this moment, there was a purple thunder ball in his mind, and around it, chains of purple lightning were wrapped!

This was the Seal placed by Venerable Purple Thunder.

Only if he killed Qin Yan could this Seal be completely broken, allowing him to obtain the full Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder!

This included a portion of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder. He had only obtained a part of it, while another part remained sealed within the thunder ball.

Only by fulfilling his promise to Venerable Purple Thunder and killing Qin Yan could he obtain the remaining Profound Truth.

...

Below, seeing that the bolt of lightning did not fall, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in her heart.

As early as when they were on the outskirts of the Core Area, she had paid extra attention to First Prince Jun Wentian due to her political stance.

Then, she discovered that Jun Wentian had quietly left with two death soldiers, stealthily sneaking toward the outskirts.

She quietly followed far behind, witnessing the entire process of Jun Wentian setting an ambush to attack Qin Yan with absolute clarity.

When she discovered that Jun Wentian's target was Qin Yan, her heart immediately bloomed with joy—the enemy of my enemy is my friend, a maxim that held true everywhere.

Her Liu Family was the most steadfast supporter of Third Princess Jun Qingyu, while Jun Wentian was Jun Qingyu's biggest competitor and stumbling block to inheriting the throne.

Now that Jun Wentian had actually taken the initiative to provoke the top Prodigy of this generation of the Taixuan Holy Land, it was simply a heaven-sent opportunity for her.
