Ancient Ancestral Gods

The bandits in the distance finally left with a sigh. This time, they didn't reap anything from the robbery, but they lost both their men and their soldiers.    

The next morning, when the guards woke up, they all forgot what happened last night as if nothing had happened.    

After verifying the effects of the Hallucination Celestial Technique, Xiao Fan was secretly happy. Anyone who was struck by the Hallucination Celestial Technique would forget what had happened during that period of time.    

The guards continued to advance in the northwest direction. A day later, they exited the Immortal Illusion Mountain Range and entered the territory of the Great Liang.    

With the royal guards sent by the beam, Xiao Fan and his group quickly passed through one important barrier after another. Five days later, they had already arrived outside of the Liang Capital.    

Emperor Dazhuang, who had already received the news, ordered a few important descendants of the royal family as well as some ministers to come to the city gate to welcome Xiao Fan who had arrived.    

This was related to the marriage alliance. Coupled with Xiao Fan's current position, which was comparable to the Palace Chief's, this major event could not be ignored.    

If they lost their dignity, it would make Xiao Fan unhappy, which would cause the marriage to go out of the window. For the Imperial Family, this was a huge loss to the Emperor.    

The Imperial Family had always wanted to re-establish their glorious ancestors and unify the land of the Ten Palaces.    

Now that he was going to marry Princess Yue to the Heavenly Palace, he wanted to tie the Heavenly Mansion to the Great Liang Imperial Family's ship. Increasing his strength was an important step in reclaiming the Ten Palaces.    

"Look, it's here!"    

Xiao Fan's group got closer and closer to the city gate, and the people around them started to discuss.    

Previously, the Heavenly Palace was famous for destroying one of the ten residences, the Mu Estate.    

That battle was not only as simple as destroying the Mu Estate, but more importantly, it displayed the enormous strength of the Heavenly Palace.    

The Heavenly Palace Master was already in the Half-step Martial Saint, and the son of the Heavenly Palace Master, Xiao Fan, also possessed the same mid-stage celestial sovereign as well, as if he had been reborn.    

Xiao Fan's purpose in coming to the capital was to discuss on how to get married.    

If it succeeded, it would be a joyous event for the Dazhuang royal family, and it would also be the same for the citizens of Dazhuang. The country would rise and fall, and the men would be held accountable.    

Being able to raise the strength of a country is the hope of every citizen.    

Only when the country was strong could the people live and work in peace, only then could they become stronger and not be bullied by others.    

"They say that Xiao Fan is already comparable to the intermediate stage of the celestial sovereign, but looking at the aura on his body, he is still a little bit away from the intermediate stage of the Immortal King!"    

"That's right, that's right!" Could the rumors about him be all boasting? "    

The group got closer and closer, the situation with Xiao Fan was noticed by the people who welcomed him, and many voices of doubt emerged from the crowd.    

It was said that Xiao Fan had killed Yan Wu, who was in the middle stages of the celestial sovereign, during the battle at the Mu Clan, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they discovered that it did not match with the rumors.    

The immortal aura on Xiao Fan's body was obviously at the early stage of the Immortal King Stage, which was just a little bit away from mid stage Immortal King.    

Such a Xiao Fan, it was hard for others to believe, that the person who killed Yan Wu, the real person and the rumors did not match at all.    

"Fifth Prince, did you bring back news that Xiao Zhe forced you to tell me that this person's realm is lower than mine, so is it possible for him to kill Yan Wu?" Among the crowd, a young prince looked at Xiao Zhenyu with a mocking tone.    

Xiao Fan's realm was lower than his, if even he could not kill Yan Wu, how could Xiao Fan kill Yan Wu?    

Maybe the news that came out was fake. Xiao Zhenyu and Princess Yue had confirmed the truth but they were forced to testify by Xiao Zhe.    

If a prince were to really act in such a manner, it would truly be embarrassing.    

"Brother Wang, you are wrong. Killing a person does not require you to surpass your opponent in terms of cultivation level. Although my cultivation level is lower than yours, I am not weak at all. I will be threatened and do something that would shame the royal family!" Xiao Zhenyu stared at the royal brother who mocked him and retorted, "Although Xiao Fan's cultivation level is lower than yours, he still killed Yan Wu. That is why he is so powerful!"    

The person who mocked him was of his uncle's line and his name was Xiao Qiang.    

The throne of the Great Liang was not a hereditary one. I passed on my death to my son.    

Rather, it was to look at which bloodline was stronger and weaker, changing every five hundred years. It was the bloodline that had the power to lead the Royal Family and develop to become the next Emperor.    

Last time, his bloodline had used a slight advantage to snatch the throne from his eldest uncle's bloodline.    

The people of Xiao Li's faction were not convinced either. They always liked to fight with their faction and secretly did some small things.    

Xiao Qiang was mocking him for being threatened by others just now. He was mocking the incompetence of the current Emperor's bloodline. If he couldn't do it, then he would abdicate and give up the throne to a sage.    

"Humph!" Anyone can boast! " Xiao Qiang coldly said with a displeased expression.    

Not only did Xiao Zhenyu's words refute his opinion, they also humiliated him, saying that he was inferior to the low leveled Xiao Fan in front of so many brothers and seniors of the imperial family.    

A moment ago, he was still questioning Xiao Fan's ability and thought that Xiao Fan was inferior to him.    

Xiao Zhenyu's words gave him a resounding slap.    

"Brother Wang, if you don't believe, then you can issue a challenge to Xiao Fan and test whether our future brother-in-law is truly capable!"    

"That's right, Brother Wang is a genius. For the sake of the Royal Family's pride, we cannot let a hypocritical person deceive our Sister Yue!"    

"The clan does not have a regular pattern, if you want to marry us royal family's women, you need to go through the challenge from us royal family's descendants, if you win you will qualify, Brother Jiang Wang, since you doubt Xiao Fan's ability, why don't you issue a challenge to him!"    

At this time, the surrounding princes and princes started to cheer, wanting Xiao Qiang to challenge Xiao Fan.    

There was a rule within the clan that if one wanted to marry a member of the imperial family, they had to accept the challenge from the descendants of the imperial family.    

Since Xiao Li did not believe in Xiao Fan's capabilities, he should follow the clan rules and issue a challenge to Xiao Fan.    

"What are you all doing? Be quiet!" The white-haired Prince Ning instantly reprimanded the quarreling younger generation.    

In public, as a descendant of the royal family, what right did it have to openly argue with one another? Wasn't it letting others see it as a joke?    

When the old prince spoke, everyone shut their mouths, not daring to speak.    

Xiao Jin's face was extremely ugly as he was mocked by Xiao Zhenyu. Soon after, the rest of the people started jeering as well, wanting him to challenge Xiao Fan.    

He knew that other than him, there were others who were unsatisfied with Xiao Fan.    

Although the topic was stopped by the elder, it was hard for him to back down now.    

"This king honors the imperial edict and is purposely here to welcome Young Master Xiao's arrival!" Xiao Fan had already arrived in front of the city gate, so Prince Ning opened his mouth to greet him.    

"The old prince has worked hard!" With a face full of smiles, Xiao Fan returned the greeting with satisfaction.    

"Young Master Xiao, I'm tired of traveling. Please rest in the mansion you prepared. We will meet the Emperor in front of the palace tomorrow!" Prince Ning said.    

"Thank you, Old Wang, for treating me first!" Xiao Fan made a polite gesture and said.    

"Wait!" royal uncle, nephew has something to speak with Xiao Fan! " Xiao Qiang suddenly said.    

"What do you have to say?" Xiao Fan said unhappily as he looked at Xiao Jing.    

As a distinguished guest, he was about to enter the city but was stopped by someone from the Royal Clan.    

Even if they had something to say to him, they shouldn't have stopped him at the city gate.    

What this person did was disrespectful to the royal family, so how could they not allow distinguished guests to enter the city?    

To put it bluntly, she looked down on him and deliberately made things difficult for him.    

"I want to challenge you, do you dare to do it or not!" Xiao Jing said to Xiao Fan seriously.
