A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Faced with Jiang Yundou, who was obedient and whose eyes were full of tenderness, Chen Yang's intention to tease her vanished instantly, leaving only a heart full of pity.

Inside the dimly lit cave, the exquisite animal hide blankets were soft and thick. Soon, the two embraced and rolled together, their breaths mingling, and feelings spreading.

More than an hour later, Chen Yang lay on the huge blanket with Jiang Yundou in his arms. The girl's black hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed with an alluring blush, and her pair of watery almond eyes were fixed on Chen Yang, with undisguised affection and love in her eyes, as if he were her whole world.

Chen Yang gently pinched her small, pert nose with his fingertips, his voice hoarse from the tenderness he had just shared: "Yun Dou, from now on, I will teach you the art of insect control. Don't be too nervous about the Corpse Immortal Worms inside you."

Jiang Yundou nodded obediently, snuggling her head into his arms again, her voice as soft and sweet as cotton candy: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

Chen Yang tightened his arms around her, stroking her smooth back with his palm, and continued, "These Corpse Immortal Worms aren't entirely without their benefits. As long as you master certain insect control techniques, you can continuously absorb immortal power from them without being controlled by them."

"Husband, I'll do whatever you say." Jiang Yundou looked up at him, her eyes shining with trust.

The next day was the day of the hunting competition for the younger generation of disciples from the three major sects of Dongyuan Kingdom.

This is a tradition that has been passed down in Dongyuan Kingdom for hundreds of years. Only disciples under the age of thirty from the three major sects are qualified to participate.

As dawn broke, Chen Yang put on the Divine Cloak, lightly touched his face with his fingertips, and his originally handsome face instantly became ordinary, like any other ordinary cultivator you could see on the street.

He followed Jiang Fan and was the first to enter the Jiang family's council hall.

The hall was already bustling with people. Five Jiang family disciples, dressed in matching blue outfits, stood upright, awaiting orders. Among them were three cultivators at the Divine Power Realm and two at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Each of them exuded a calm aura and had sharp eyes.

Beside the disciples, the elders of the Jiang family and several powerful ministers were talking in hushed tones, the atmosphere serious and solemn.

Jiang Fan strode into the hall with Chen Yang, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make—this is my new son-in-law, and also the Prince Consort of our Dongyuan Kingdom! The Prince Consort will also be participating in this year's Young Disciples Hunting Competition."

As he spoke, he turned to the five disciples in the hall and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Yunhai, come out. Your position will be taken by the Imperial Son-in-Law."

Jiang Yunhai was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had spent countless efforts to obtain this hunting spot. Now that it had been taken by someone else, his face darkened instantly, and an indescribable sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

But Jiang Fan was the emperor of Dongyuan Kingdom and the head of the Jiang family. He dared not disobey him and could only suppress his dissatisfaction, cup his hands to Jiang Fan, and silently retreat to the side.

Chen Yang strode into the group of five, his posture upright and his expression calm.

The other four disciples were all nearly thirty years old, and their cultivation level was at least at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Their eyes all fell on Chen Yang, and their divine senses quietly probed out.

When they realized that Chen Yang only possessed the faint aura of the early Foundation Establishment stage, the four of them frowned in unison, a hint of disdain and doubt flashing in their eyes.

Just then, an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a gray elder's robe, stepped forward, frowned at Jiang Fan, and said with a hint of urgency, "Your Majesty, isn't this matter a bit hasty?"

"I understand your love for your daughter and your care for the Prince Consort, but this is a hunting competition! If our Jiang family loses too badly, we'll be ridiculed by Tianhai Sect and Hongyuan Valley for a whole year!"

"Moreover, the hunting competition is not only a matter of honor for our Dongyuan Kingdom, but it is also fraught with danger. Monsters roam the Beast Valley, and a single misstep could lead to certain death. Your decision to have the Prince Consort participate is extremely ill-considered!"

Jiang Fan waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Fifth Elder, my mind is made up. You don't need to say anything more. I have my reasons."

The Fifth Elder's face instantly turned ashen, his chest heaving violently. He couldn't help but raise his voice, "Your Majesty! Are you sending the Prince Consort to the hunting grounds to rack up merits? I'm afraid he won't gain any merits, but instead loses his life and disgraces the Jiang family!"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly, his eyes deep: "Fifth Elder, I have my reasons for doing this. In any case, the matter is settled."

"Jiang Tong, Zhang Huaihai!" Jiang Fan turned to the two disciples at the Divine Power Realm with the strongest auras. "You two are the most powerful. After entering the Beast Valley, you must protect the Prince Consort!"

The two men below immediately knelt on one knee, cupped their hands, and replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Inside the main hall, the others began to discuss the situation, their voices kept very low but still clearly audible to everyone.

"Has His Majesty gone mad? Sending someone at the early Foundation Establishment stage to participate in a hunt in the Beast Valley?"

"Who knows! His Majesty used to be quite wise and capable, but when it comes to the princess, he gets hot-headed and doesn't act like a wise ruler at all."

"Keep your voice down! But you're right, His Majesty is good in every way, except he spoils the princess too much. Who told her to be so pitiful, suddenly becoming so erratic..."

A group of people whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with suspicion as they looked at Chen Yang. They all thought that Jiang Fan had used his connections to get this low-level prince consort into the hunting competition for his own selfish reasons.

However, Chen Yang and Jiang Fan were too lazy to explain, and their expressions remained indifferent.

Soon, the five-person team was ready and sped off towards the Valley of Ferocious Beasts.

Meanwhile, the teams from Red Abyss Valley and Tianhai Gate had already entered the vast, misty canyon inhabited by ferocious beasts.

According to the competition rules, each team must enter the Beast Valley at a great distance from each other, and fighting is not allowed inside the valley. The final competition results will only be based on the number of monsters hunted.

But at this moment, deep within the Beast Mist Canyon, ten figures were gathered together, staring at each other with malicious smiles on their faces.

On the Tianhai Gate side, Wu Jingren was leading the way.

Wu Jingren stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the five cultivators from Red Abyss Valley, and said in a sinister tone, "Fellow senior brothers, this is our first time joining forces. This time, we must completely annihilate the geniuses of the Jiang family, leaving no one alive!"

The leader of the Red Abyss Valley disciples was named Mo Wangyan. He was tall and arrogant, and he laughed loudly, "Brother Wu is right! Jiang Fan is indeed incredibly domineering after ascending the throne, but his idea of ​​reviving the Jiang family is simply wishful thinking!"

"Let's make him lose everything in this hunting competition!"

"We in Red Abyss Valley are very familiar with this ferocious beast canyon. The vast majority of the monsters in the canyon are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, but there are also some that have reached the middle stage of the Divine Power Realm, and there are even monsters at the late stage of the Divine Power Realm."

A ruthless glint flashed in Mo Wangyan's eyes: "Once those five from the Jiang family enter, all we need to do is find a way to lure them into the cave of a demon beast at the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm or higher, and they'll never be able to escape! Even if they manage to escape by chance, we can seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, then pin all the blame on the demon beast, without anyone knowing!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingren laughed heartily and clapped his hands, praising, "Brother Mo's plan is exactly the same as mine! I also want to use the ferocious beasts to get rid of these five people from the Jiang family! However, I am not very clear about the strength and distribution of the monsters in the canyon, so I will have to rely on Brother Mo."

Mo Wangyan patted his chest confidently, "Leave all of this to us! After all, this place used to be our Red Abyss Valley's territory. If it weren't for the shameless Jiang family seizing this Misty Canyon from us hundreds of years ago, our Red Abyss Valley would be far more prosperous than it is now!"

"I think we should just use the Fiery Python in the northeast corner of the canyon. While its current strength seems average, it's about to evolve into the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm. Given its ferocity and power, killing those five disciples of the Jiang family would be perfectly reasonable!"

"The only difficulty, however, is how to get them to take the bait and enter the fire python's cave."

Wu Jingren's smile widened, a sly glint in his eyes: "Brother Mo, don't worry, leave this little matter to me! I have people planted within the Jiang family's ranks! Once they enter the Grand Canyon, I'll send a communication talisman to have my friend lead the Jiang family's team to the Fiery Python's lair. Everything will be ready!"

"That's wonderful!" Mo Wangyan exclaimed with delight. "Now take us to find that fiery python!"

After saying that, the people from Tianhaimen and Hongyuan Valley quietly sped off towards the northeast of the canyon.

Soon.

Chen Yang and his group of five also landed at the entrance of the Beast Grand Canyon.

Chen Yang looked up and was surprised.

The canyon was enormous, stretching as far as the eye could see. Thick gray mist perpetually swirled above it, enveloping the entire canyon as if it were a tangible substance, making it impossible to see anything around the canyon.

The canyon has a complex and intricate terrain, with ravines and jagged rocks. As soon as you step inside, you can feel the strong stench of monsters in the air, as well as the traces left by the activities of many monsters.

As the five of them carefully made their way along the canyon path, Chen Yang suddenly sensed something amiss.

He subconsciously glanced at the five people beside him, his gaze finally settling on the cultivator named Zhang Huaihai.

Zhang Huaihai always used the excuse of scouting the surroundings to quietly fall behind the group, sneaking around and doing something furtive. Occasionally, he would avoid everyone's sight and linger alone for a moment.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Yang's eyes. Without making a sound, he released his divine sense to its maximum and silently followed.

Even from a distance, he could clearly hear Zhang Huaihai muttering something in a low voice into a communication talisman, his tone respectful, clearly reporting something to someone.

Hearing these vague words, Chen Yang sneered inwardly.

Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared in the Jiang family's ranks!
