Chapter 146 Unparalleled Beauty
Jiang Xueyu's face was pale. She was the most beautiful princess of the Tianyang royal family, but at this moment she was just as disheveled as Jiang Yuan. All the strings of her precious zither were broken.
Jiang Qi clutched her chest; she had been slapped by Gu Yan, and her chest was now in excruciating pain.
This cousin has absolutely no sense of chivalry towards women.
In fact, Gu Yan had already been relatively lenient with these cousins, nieces, and cousins-in-law; Jiang Ming, Jiang Cheng, and others next to Jiang Xue were in even worse shape.
They had initially come one by one to stop Gu Yan, but it quickly turned into a group brawl. Even so, they still couldn't win, and Jiang Xue, Jiang Yuan, and the others were utterly humiliated. Besides feeling ashamed, they were also filled with resentment. Reaching the Spirit Venerable realm was already a testament to their genius, yet they had suffered such a crushing defeat.
This guy is at most a little over 1,200 years old.
He had cultivated himself for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of years, and now it all seemed like a joke.
All past glories have been shattered and turned into a joke.
How could such a monster exist in this world?!
A boy dressed in black and wearing a mask stood in the sky, with four flags, each dozens of feet tall, floating behind him.
On these four banners, one is embroidered with a Azure Dragon, one with a Vermilion Bird, one with a Black Tortoise, and one with a White Tiger. The four divine beasts appear to come alive on the banners, some roaming, some spreading their wings, some spewing frost, and some roaring. The aura of each divine beast is terrifying beyond compare.
Gu Yan just used these Four Divine Beasts Flags to defeat the combined attack of Jiang Yuan and the others.
Dead silence!!
The entire Lieyang Palace was deathly silent!
It was as if the entire world had fallen silent!
No one has ever seen such a strong early-stage Spirit Venerable.
He's only a little over 1200 years old at most!
Jiang Shuo's mouth gaped open; he was just as shocked as the others. He knew his cousin was powerful, but he never imagined he could single-handedly defeat Jiang Yuan and Jiang Xue so decisively. He was all ready to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, but it turned out his cousin Yan didn't need his help at all.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yan's Four Divine Beasts Banners disappeared and were stored in his Purple Mansion.
He slowly descended from the sky.
Gu Yan reached out and untied the black cloak she was wearing, then tossed it aside.
Then he took off his mask.
Everyone was stunned at that moment.
Previously, everyone was shocked by his strength and his extraordinary talent, but now they were shocked by his unparalleled beauty.
The black-haired, blue-eyed youth, dressed in pristine white, possessed a radiant beauty that eclipsed even the three giant suns in the sky. His appearance surpassed all imagination and defied description in words or poetry.
A gentle breeze ruffled his robes, causing his long, black hair to flutter softly. He slightly raised his hand, his clear eyes gazing upwards. Sunlight shone on his face, making him appear utterly holy.
Everyone held their breath at that moment, captivated by his perfect appearance.
My God! Isn't this a divine intervention?
Is this the perfect face that should exist in the human world?
Originally filled with resentment and humiliation, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Xue, and the others gazed at that holy figure, their hearts pounding violently. In just an instant, they fell in love with that perfect young man in white.
He is not a monster, he is an immortal, he is a god.
He is the god who reigns over glory and beauty.
Two beams of light fell from above, landing not far from Gu Yan, and transformed into a man and a woman.
The man wore a golden robe, with long hair reaching his waist. He was handsome and dignified, exuding a terrifying aura. A halo like a sun crown hung behind him, making him seem like a god emerging from the sun. The woman wore a red palace dress and appeared to be in her early twenties, with remarkably beautiful features.
She bore a resemblance to the man beside her. She looked at Gu Yan with an excited expression, and her beautiful golden eyes welled up with glistening tears.
As soon as Jiang Shunhua and Jiang Huan appeared, Jiang Yuan and the others immediately stood up and bowed, and the people around them also bowed in greeting.
"daughter."
Gu Yan called out and quickly ran towards Jiang Shunhua.
Only then did everyone hear his real voice.
It was like heavenly music.
It sends a shiver down your spine when you hear it.
Looking at her child, Jiang Shunhua felt as if they had been separated for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Overwhelmed with emotion, she ran towards Gu Yan.
The mother and son hugged each other.
"Mother, are you alright?" Gu Yan asked softly.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Shunhua nodded: "I'm fine. How about you? How did you cross the Endless Sea? You must have suffered a lot along the way. Let your mother take a good look at you."
Jiang Shunhua held Gu Yan's hand and looked her up and down carefully.
"I didn't suffer any hardship; I came with two friends," Gu Yan said.
He looked at Jiang Huan as he spoke.
Jiang Shunhua noticed Gu Yan's gaze and said, "This is your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan bowed to Jiang Huan with her hands clasped, saying, "Uncle."
Jiang Huan smiled and went to help Gu Yan up, taking her hand in his. "Yan'er, there's no need for such formalities. I've heard your mother praise you before, but I thought she was exaggerating. I didn't expect her to be so modest. Your uncle is truly happy to see you today." He patted the back of Gu Yan's hand and held it tightly.
Jiang Huan, who was usually cold and rarely smiled, was now smiling very gently.
That gentle smile made Jiang Yuan and the others wonder if their father had been possessed by someone.
Jiang Shunhua glanced at her brother coldly. Shameless! Saying such things is truly shameless.
Jiang Huan grasped Gu Yan's perfectly white hand, touched it a few times, and then the smile on his face froze into shock.
Thirty-one years old?!
He's only thirty-one years old!
Thinking he had made a mistake in feeling the bones, Jiang Huan used his divine sense to investigate. His divine sense told him that his nephew was indeed only thirty-one years old.
How... how is this possible?
A 31-year-old early-stage Spirit Venerable, who then brutally defeated a bunch of Spirit Venerables who were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years old?
Jiang Huan couldn't believe it, so he checked it again and again. The others didn't know what he was doing; they only saw him holding Gu Yan's hand and touching it repeatedly. They thought that even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't resist the charm of his nephew and had already succumbed to him, shamelessly taking advantage of him in public.
It's no wonder people think that way. After all, the moment Gu Yan revealed his true face, he won the hearts of countless people, young and old, men and women alike. It's perfectly normal for them to fall in love with him.
Jiang Shunhua immediately separated her brother and son, standing in front of her son like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
What are you doing?
Just as Jiang Huan was about to speak, the entire Lieyang Palace was enveloped in a warm yet terrifying pressure. Above, the three suns hanging high above the vast land of the empire seemed to shine even brighter in an instant.
Everyone looked toward one place: the Temple of the Sun.
