52: Brother-in-law Nangong Xiao

Beixuan Peak, outside the illusion boundary.

At this moment, everyone at the scene was shocked! For so many years, this was the first time someone from another force had managed to break into the top ten.

Just a moment ago, everyone had assumed that Yang Lingchen would be conquered by the Princess's charm.

Who could have expected that the situation would reverse so quickly, and that Yang Lingchen would dare to kill the Princess on the spot?

"Bang…!"

Just then, Zhou Yuxin was teleported out, her eyes burning with endless rage.

Without a second thought, she rushed towards the direction of the Diyin Sect.

"Feng Wuji, you must send Feng Zijun to This Princess's Princesss Mansion tonight, otherwise, don't blame This Princess for being impolite!"

Zhou Yuxin glared fiercely at Feng Wuji, and after delivering this threat, she left the scene without looking back.

Since the second round wouldn't start until tomorrow, Zhou Yuxin returned directly to her Residence.

"Juner, when did you get involved with the Nineteenth Princess?" Feng Wuji asked.

"Father, I don't know either!" Feng Zijun replied, looking completely bewildered.

"This… Juner, tonight…" Feng Wuji looked at his son.

"Father, you can't do this. If you send me to the Princesss Mansion, I will be completely ruined." Feng Zijun said, his face full of fear.

Feng Zijun had long heard of the Nineteenth Princess's peculiar habits.

Many young talents had been forcibly abducted by the Nineteenth Princess to the Princesss Mansion, and none of them had ended up well.

The most famous incident among them was the Young Sect Leader of the Tianyi Sect, Wu Tianchen.

Back then, Wu Tianchen was considered a heaven-sent Genius and was already a famous young Genius in the Northern Profound Region at a young age. Just because he went to the Princesss Mansion once, not long after he came out, he became a monk at the White Cloud Temple.

"Juner, as long as you serve the Princess well tonight, our Diyin Sect will definitely soar to the skies in the future!" Feng Wuji earnestly persuaded Feng Zijun.

Inside the illusion.

As time slowly ticked away, Yang Lingchen's points had climbed to third place.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen encountered a youth wearing the robes of the Sword Origin Pavilion. This person was extraordinarily handsome, possessed an otherworldly temperament, and his brows bore a slight resemblance to Nangong Yan.

This person was none other than the number one Genius of the Sword Origin Pavilion, Nangong Xiao.

"Kid, are you Yang Lingchen?" Nangong Xiao asked, staring intently at Yang Lingchen.

"That's right, who are you?" Yang Lingchen replied.

"Sword Origin Pavilion, Nangong Xiao." Nangong Xiao introduced himself.

"So it's my brother-in-law, nice to meet you." Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Kid, if you want to marry my sister, you must first get past me." Nangong Xiao said with a serious expression.

"There's no need for that! Brother-in-law, we are all on the same side." Yang Lingchen said with a laugh.

"Less talk, let's fight!" Nangong Xiao shouted.

"Then, brother-in-law, I'm attacking!"

Before the words had even faded, Yang Lingchen had already swung his staff and charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Nangong Xiao's strength was extremely powerful, and his cultivation level had already reached the third layer of the Entering Profound Realm, so Yang Lingchen dared not be careless in the slightest and decisively chose to strike first.

Facing Yang Lingchen's swift and violent attack, Nangong Xiao also brandished his precious sword and slashed fiercely towards Yang Lingchen.

"Clang, clang, clang…"

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought dozens of rounds, and for a while, neither of them had gained any advantage.

"Good kid, you really have some skills. No wonder Yan Yan talks about you every day." Nangong Xiao said.

"Brother-in-law, look, it's hard for us to decide a winner for the time being. Why don't we team up and hunt others instead? Whoever kills more wins, do you dare, brother-in-law?" Yang Lingchen suggested with a smile.

"Fine, let's team up and see who kills more."

Nangong Xiao was naturally the type who refused to admit defeat.

In the subsequent illusion trial, two people who acted like madmen appeared, crazily hunting down people from other forces.

Outside the illusion, the leaders of the other forces all had their brows furrowed, their expressions solemn.

The main reason was that this Grand Competition had unexpectedly produced a dark horse, and this dark horse was none other than Yang Lingchen of the Heavenly Origin Palace.

If not for Yang Lingchen, the Heavenly Origin Palace would likely have been at the bottom of the Grand Competition again.

At this moment, everyone else from the Heavenly Origin Palace had already been killed and eliminated one after another, leaving only Yang Lingchen still persisting.

Although only Yang Lingchen remained for the Heavenly Origin Palace, the points he had obtained alone far exceeded those of the other forces.

"Father, why is brother working together with Yang Lingchen?" Nangong Yan asked, puzzled.

"These two boys must have reached some kind of agreement, which is why they have joined forces." Nangong Ting explained.

On the Heavenly Origin Palace's side, Dongfang Yunbing's willow-like brows, which had been tightly knitted, finally slowly relaxed.

Over these years, the situation of the Heavenly Origin Palace had become increasingly difficult and declining, and the pressure Dongfang Yunbing had been under was immense.

In the blink of an eye, a few more hours passed.

With their tacit cooperation, the points of Yang Lingchen and Nangong Xiao continued to climb steadily.

At this point, Yang Lingchen's points had risen to second place, and Nangong Xiao's points had also risen to eighth place.

The alliance between the two also attracted close attention from countless people, and even the Prince of Northern Suppression, Zhou Xuanzheng, frowned slightly at this moment.

Inside the illusion.

"Brother-in-law, I wonder if you dare to hunt the royal Family members." Yang Lingchen said with a solemn expression.

"Kid, you don't really want to hunt the princes and princesses, do you!" Nangong Xiao said, his face full of surprise.

"Do you dare or not, just say the word." Yang Lingchen said decisively.

Nangong Xiao pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were filled with a fierce determination as he said, "As long as you dare, I will accompany you to the end."

"Here is the plan: we will go over from here in a moment, you attract the fire from the front, and I will attack from behind to slaughter that royal princess." Yang Lingchen said.

"Why am I the one attracting fire in the front?" Nangong Xiao said, looking displeased.

"Brother-in-law, haven't you noticed how handsome you are? This royal princess looks like she indulges too much in lust; only a handsome guy like you in the front can lower her guard!" Yang Lingchen said with a straight face.

"Am I really that handsome?" Nangong Xiao said, brushing back his bangs as he spoke.

"Definitely. Your Family's genes are just like that—the men are handsome, and the women are beautiful." Yang Lingchen said affirmatively.

Yang Lingchen was indeed not wrong; Nangong Xiao was quite handsome in terms of appearance.

"Fine, leave This Princess to me! Only someone with my looks can handle her."

"But next time, you have to be the one to attract the fire. It has to be one turn each, otherwise, I'd be at a disadvantage." Nangong Xiao said.

"No problem, brother-in-law, but you must be careful! The opponent is an expert at the fourth layer of the Entering Profound Realm." Yang Lingchen specifically reminded him.

Immediately, the two, one after the other, flanked the Twenty-Sixth Princess.

The Twenty-Sixth Princess was named Zhou Yutong, her strength reached the fourth layer of the Entering Profound Realm, and her current points ranking was sixth.

At this moment, Zhou Yutong was crazily hunting Phantom Beasts.

Just then, Nangong Xiao stylishly flicked his bangs and walked towards her with a flamboyant look on his face.

"I am Nangong Xiao, greetings to Princess Yutong." Nangong Xiao revealed his incredibly confident smile.

Zhou Yutong was just worrying about having too few points, and when she saw Nangong Xiao approaching, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Could I really be that handsome?" Seeing the joyful expression on Zhou Yutong's face, Nangong Xiao thought to himself with secret pride.

Just as Nangong Xiao was feeling secretly proud, Zhou Yutong suddenly struck him with a palm.

"Bang…"

Nangong Xiao was sent flying back by this sudden palm strike; he quickly rolled on the ground and barely managed to dodge Zhou Yutong's second attack.

At this moment, he was cursing Yang Lingchen in his heart.

"Bang, bang, bang…"

In no time at all, Nangong Xiao was beaten black and blue by Zhou Yutong.

Just as Zhou Yutong was about to finish off Nangong Xiao, Yang Lingchen instantly burst out from the side and accurately slashed Zhou Yutong's throat with one sword strike.

"Yang Lingchen, you bastard, why did you come out just now? My face! This Damn Old Hag actually beat This Young Master's handsome face into this state." Nangong Xiao roared angrily.

"Brother-in-law, there's no helping it. She is so strong, if not for you attracting her attention, how could I have taken her down so quickly?" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

Looking at Nangong Xiao, who had been beaten into a pig's head, Yang Lingchen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
