Before the name of Jun Xiaoyao became widely known, the most famous prodigy of the Jun family was none other than the first sequence, the dual-eyed one, Jun Lingcang!

The top ten sequences of the Jun family are selected from thousands of Jun family prodigies. Each possesses unique abilities, whether it be a special physique or a forbidden inheritance, with strength sufficient to sweep across the land.

As the ranking increases among the top ten sequences, their power multiplies. For instance, the fifth sequence, Jun Wanjie, can easily defeat the tenth sequence, Jun Zhangjian. Similarly, those in the top ranks can easily overpower Jun Wanjie.

From this, one can infer just how powerful the first-ranked dual-eyed Jun Lingcang truly is. If he were to face Jun Wanjie, it would likely take only a few moves, much like how Jun Xiaoyao once crushed his opponents.

The return of the dual-eyed one has once again stirred up excitement within the entire Jun family. After all, Jun Lingcang had been honing his skills in a terrifying ancient forbidden land. Such a place is one where even ordinary Celestial Realm and Divine Fire Realm experts dare not tread lightly.

Jun Lingcang, however, had spent a considerable amount of time there. If it weren't for the fact that his life token had not shattered, the Jun family would have truly believed he had perished within.

At the entrance of the Jun family's mountain gate, countless family members appeared, their faces subtly showing signs of excitement. After all, this is the first sequence of the Jun family, a position of extraordinary status. Many do not even have the qualification to meet him.

Moreover, when Jun Lingcang was ten years old, a grand banquet was held, inviting guests from all directions. It can be said that without Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Lingcang would have been the pillar that the Jun family strived to cultivate. Of course, he still is.

In the sky, a purple beast resembling a qilin descended, with purple mist swirling beneath its feet. A young and slender figure stood lightly atop it. He was a handsome youth, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, he bore the grace of a dragon and the elegance of a phoenix. At this moment, standing on the qilin beast, he resembled a divine king descending to the mortal realm, surveying the world!

His eyes were covered with a black cloth, on which dark golden sealing runes seemed to be inscribed. Just the faint aura leaking from him was enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Hiss... It really is Lord Lingcang; he has indeed returned!"

"Is that a qilin? Its aura is terrifying!"

"No, it should be a qilin beast with qilin bloodline, but it's still very powerful; ordinary prodigies would find it hard to tame."

Jun Lingcang's arrival in this manner caused many Jun family members to tremble, their spirits stirred.

"Wonderful! Our Jun family not only has the Son of Heaven but also Lord Lingcang. Who among the younger generation in the Immortal Domain can rival our Jun family?" A young prodigy of the Jun family couldn't help but shout.

However, some elders of the Jun family revealed a hint of worry in their eyes. They knew that Jun Lingcang had once wanted Ah Jiu to be his master, but Ah Jiu had refused. Now, Ah Jiu had become Jun Xiaoyao's protector.

With Jun Lingcang's high status and overwhelming strength, would he be willing to accept this? Would there be any resentment?

The Jun family does not actually reject internal competition among disciples, but it must not go too far.

"Lord Lingcang!"

At this moment, from deep within the Jun family, two streaks of light rushed forward, revealing a man and a woman.

The man wore a simple dao robe and held an eight-trigram array plate in his hands. He was Jun Daoling, the sixth sequence of the Jun family.

Upon his birth, he naturally possessed an ancient holy weapon within him, the eight-trigram array plate, which was the object he held. Jun Daoling was skilled in formations.

The other woman wore a red palace dress, her beauty striking and alluring, exuding a captivating charm. Her name was Jun Xiyu, the eighth sequence of the Jun family.

Jun Xiyu was born with a bewitching aura and excelled in soul illusions. It is said that just a glance from her is enough to render a returning realm prodigy powerless to resist, becoming her subordinate.

At this moment, Jun Daoling and Jun Xiyu, both of extraordinary status, stepped forward and cupped their hands in respect to Jun Lingcang.

To those unaware, it might seem they were merely followers of Jun Lingcang. However, the reality was quite similar. Jun Lingcang's formidable strength had won their admiration, and they willingly chose to follow him, much like Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Wanjie willingly followed Jun Xiaoyao.

"There's no need for such formalities," Jun Lingcang waved his hand slightly.

Though his eyes were covered with black cloth, sealing his dual eyes, he could still use his powerful spiritual sense to probe the surroundings.

"Lord Lingcang, many things have happened during your absence," Jun Daoling said.

"Let's talk about it when we return," Jun Lingcang waved his hand again.

The elders of his lineage had also come to welcome him. The once peaceful Jun family became lively again with Jun Lingcang's arrival.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jun Linglong, Jun Zhangjian, and two others gathered together.

"Do you think Jun Lingcang will clash with Young Master over Ah Jiu's matter?" Jun Linglong expressed her concern.

Jun Lingcang is no small character. The enemies Jun Xiaoyao has faced so far can be said to be no match for Jun Lingcang. If Jun Lingcang were to take their place, he could easily suppress them.

"It shouldn't come to that. No matter what, Jun Lingcang is still one of our own; he's different from outsiders," Jun Xuehuang disagreed.

"While it may not escalate too far, there will likely still be some conflict. However, I firmly stand with the Son of Heaven," Jun Zhangjian declared earnestly.

Currently, the entire top ten sequences of the Jun family seem to have divided into three factions. One belongs to the zero sequence, Jun Xiaoyao. Another is aligned with the first sequence, Jun Lingcang. The remaining second and third sequences are ambiguous in their stance, remaining uninvolved.

On the divine island where Jun Lingcang resides, the elders of his lineage, along with Jun Daoling and Jun Xiyu, gathered together.

Since Jun Lingcang had been focused on training in the ancient forbidden land, he was unaware of the recent events. Upon hearing about Jun Xiaoyao's various deeds, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Jun family has produced another prodigy who is not inferior to him.

However, when he heard that Ah Jiu had stood up for Jun Xiaoyao in the imperial capital of the Divine Dynasty, those present could clearly sense Jun Lingcang's aura slightly falter.

The aura that emanated in that moment caused Jun Daoling and the others to feel a shiver in their hearts.

Yet, Jun Lingcang quickly regained his composure.

"Is that so? Ah Jiu has become the protector of my cousin," Jun Lingcang murmured to himself.

Since his eyes were covered with black cloth, those present could not see his expression.

Jun Lingcang's lineage is closely related to Jun Xiaoyao's, which is why he referred to Jun Xiaoyao as his cousin.

Jun Daoling and Jun Xiyu exchanged glances and fell silent.

They vaguely understood that Jun Lingcang's interest in Ah Jiu seemed to go beyond merely wanting her as a master.

"Ah Jiu becoming my cousin's protector is partly due to his talent, and partly because of his status," Jun Lingcang observed keenly, quickly grasping the situation.

However... there were inevitably some knots in his heart.
