The Nine Xuanyuan Lineages, a Gathering of Heroes

Today, Xuanyuan Yun is dressed in a light gold palace dress, her hair is styled in a high bun, and adorned with a simple phoenix hairpin.

She appeared less gentle and graceful, but more elegant and noble.

Coupled with Xuanyuan Yun's stunningly beautiful face, he was naturally extraordinary and attracted everyone's attention.

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was dressed in a fiery red outfit that accentuated her slender figure, with her long black hair tied into a neat ponytail, making her radiant and beautiful.

Amidst the hushed whispers, many people began to harbor fantasies.

He thought that marrying Xuanyuan Xiaoyu would be the best thing ever.

Not only can they get close to the Xuanyuan Family.

Moreover, he could become the Imperial Son-in-law of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty!

With these two relationships in place, wouldn't you get whatever you want?

After observing Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Xuanyuan Yun, everyone's gaze finally fell on Chen Changqing, who was closely following beside Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

"Um?"

"Who is that kid?"

"He's actually standing with the Third Miss?"

"Could it be that the Third Miss hired External Aids?"

"Spirit Transformation Cultivator? Even if it's External Aids, it doesn't seem like it'll work!"

"..."

They all looked down on Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing had naturally heard these rumors, but he didn't care at all. He raised his gaze slightly and looked at the Xuanyuan Sword floating in the void.

"According to Xiaoyu, this Xuanyuan Sword is a magical Law Artifact that surpasses even Immortal Artifacts, so its power must be incomparably strong."

"The only treasure of our Shu Mountain Sacred Land sect is Immortal Artifact like the Haotian Mirror."

"The Xuanyuan Clan's Law Artifact is actually an Immortal Artifact."

"It must be said that the Xuanyuan Clan, as the head of the Nine Great Families, truly possesses extraordinary resources."

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Yun suddenly spoke:

"Xiaoyu, Changqing, come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing quickly came to his senses and, together with Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, followed Xuanyuan Yun to a Dragon Pillar at the Ancestral Sword Platform.

As soon as she stood still, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu whispered:

"Changqing, you've seen the nine Dragon Pillars of the Ancestral Sword Platform too, haven't you?"

"Each Dragon Pillar actually represents a lineage of the Xuanyuan Clan."

"Our lineage is from my mother's side."

"Unfortunately, of our lineage, only my mother and I remain now. The rest... all perished in the last Immortal-Demon Battlefield!"

At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, looking somewhat wistful.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that there would be such a distinction within the Xuanyuan Family, with nine lineages.

Before Chen Changqing could think further, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu turned her gaze slightly and looked towards the main pillar in the due east direction.

"That's the First Branch the nine branches of the Xuanyuan Clan, and also the direct descendant of the patriarch."

"Within our Xuanyuan Family, I am in charge of punishments and clan rules."

After Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said that, Chen Changqing followed her gaze and looked out.

Upon closer inspection, they saw more than twenty people gathered beneath a dragon Dragon Pillar to the due east.

Although their numbers were small, each of them exuded a calm and collected aura, with sharp, piercing eyes, and wore uniform Mysterious Black, tight-fitting attire.

The leader was a stern-faced young man who rarely smiled and exuded an aura of authority.

Just as Chen Changqing was observing, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu spoke up:

"That man's name is Xuanyuan Lü, and he's very powerful!"

Chen Changqing nodded slightly without saying anything.

Then, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu turned her gaze to a dragon Dragon Pillar in the southeast and continued her introduction:

"That's the Second Branch of the Xuanyuan Family."

"They're all warmongers!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and quickly looked over.

Hundreds of people were gathered beneath that dragon Dragon Pillar.

These people, with their vigorous Qi and Blood and energy like a furnace, were all dressed in dark red armor, exuding a faint Sha Qi.

The two men standing at the very front were twin brothers, with resolute faces and surging fighting spirit!

"The two leading figures are named Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Ge."

"They are all extremely difficult opponents."

"As for the person beside them, I've never seen him before. He must be the External Aids they invited this time!"

As Xuanyuan Xiaoyu introduced the two brothers, Chen Changqing's gaze swept over them and then landed on the burly man beside them.

"What terrifying Qi and Blood!"

After a brief look, Chen Changqing was secretly startled.

It was obvious to everyone that the burly man's internal Qi and Blood and blood were extremely vigorous.

"It seems he's a Cultivator follows the path of Body Cultivator."

"I just wonder, how does he compare to the Body Refining of the True Martial Immortal Sect?"

Just as Chen Changqing was pondering, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's gaze shifted and then fell on the dragon Dragon Pillar in the due south direction.

"That's the Third Branch of the Xuanyuan Family, in charge of business!"

"The leader's name is Xuanyuan Ce."

As Xuanyuan Xiaoyu introduced the situation, Chen Changqing also looked over.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a number of people standing beneath the Dragon Pillar. The man at the head of the group had a handsome face, wore exquisite and elegant clothes, and possessed a shrewd and intelligent demeanor.

Besides the man, there was also a veiled woman standing beside him, her presence ethereal.

Next, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu introduced the people from the other factions to Chen Changqing one by one.

When introducing the Seventh Branch, Chen Changqing's eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at the leading man.

The man wore Golden Dragon Battle Robe, and his long hair was tied up with a jade crown.

Although he had a handsome face, he exuded an imposing arrogance and sharpness.

In particular, the aura of Tribulation Transcendence emanating from him stood out like a crane among chickens.

Who else could it be but Xuanyuan Ao?

Previously, when Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu first arrived at the ancestral land of the Xuanyuan family, they encountered Xuanyuan Ao outside the gate.

Xuanyuan Ao didn't take Chen Changqing seriously at all.

That was bad enough, but when Xuan Yuan Ao learned that Chen Changqing was Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's fiancé, Xuanyuan Ao was even more furious and used his own Tribulation Transcendence energy to suppress him on the spot!

Just as Chen Changqing was sizing up Xuanyuan Ao was also looking at Chen Changqing from under the Dragon Pillar where the Seventh Branch was located.

Their eyes met instantly, colliding like needles clashing against wheat awns.

"Oh..."

After exchanging glances, Xuanyuan Ao gave a cold laugh, his face full of disdain, and muttered mockingly:

"This kid really was someone my cousin invited to participate in the Annual Competition."

"That's excellent."

"If we encounter him on the field, I'll take his life."

"Xiaoyu is not someone a mere mortal like him is worthy of."

Just as Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Ao locked eyes, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu beside him said with a solemn expression:

"Changqing."

"The rules for this Family Grand Competition have changed, so most of them have brought in External Aids."

"I know nothing about these people's background."

"Dabishang..."

Before Xuanyuan Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Chen Changqing interrupted her with a nonchalant smile:

Don't worry, Xiaoyu!

"With me here, I will do everything in my power to help you win the Champion."

Seeing Chen Changqing's unwavering resolve, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to completely trust Chen Changqing.
