SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1123 - 1123 The Ancient Imperial Clan

"I see, now I understand."

Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Li Qing'er and immediately understood the full story from beginning to end.

So Jun Bieli's desire to obtain the Heavenly Dao Crown was not for himself.

But for his beloved.

Jun Xiaoyao understood this completely.

Because thinking from another angle, if Jiang Shengyi were trapped in a death's door and needed the Heavenly Dao Crown to be saved.

Then Jun Xiaoyao would also have hesitated not at all, doing everything possible, no matter the cost, to obtain it.

"I, Jun Bieli, am willing to follow the Divine Son's lead." Jun Bieli said with utmost sincerity.

Being able to save Li Qing'er meant the greatest regret of his life had been mended.

And all of this was possible because of Jun Xiaoyao.

"There's no need for that. You are the Heavenly Son of our Jun family. From now on, let's work together for the Jun family." Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and helped Jun Bieli to his feet.

While filled with gratitude, Jun Bieli also felt a sense of astonishment in his heart.

Back in the Divine Ruins World, Jun Xiaoyao had been strong, but not to the point of being unfathomable.

At that time, Jun Bieli had still felt confident he could exchange blows with Jun Xiaoyao.

But now, facing Jun Xiaoyao, even someone as powerful as Jun Bieli felt a sense of being unable to see through him.

Clearly, during this period in the foreign realm, Jun Xiaoyao's strength had grown enormously.

Even Jun Bieli could no longer gauge the depths of his power.

At this moment, Jun Yinhuang, who had been silent all along, suddenly knelt on one knee before Jun Xiaoyao.

"I apologize, Divine Son. It was my fault before. I actually dared to be hostile toward you. Please punish me."

Jun Yinhuang lowered his head and knelt publicly.

Beside him, Jun Qingyan watched and quietly let out a sigh.

If only he had known it would come to this.

"Get up. I don't mind. From now on, there is no distinction between the main lineage and the hidden lineage in the Jun family."

Jun Xiaoyao was not the petty type.

Besides, Jun Yinhuang had not caused him any real loss.

So Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind being magnanimous this once.

"Thank you for your generosity, Divine Son." Hearing this, Jun Yinhuang felt even more ashamed.

From this point on, the matter between the Jun family's main lineage and hidden lineage was completely resolved, and harmony prevailed.

From now on, the Jun family would only stand united against the outside world.

With the support of the hidden lineage, the Jun family's chances of contending with the Immortal Court for dominance over the Immortal Domain naturally grew much greater.

"Young Master!"

Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, Wangchuan, the Eternal Calamity Goddess, and other followers had also arrived.

Along with Dragon Princess Longji, Yan Rumeng, Yu Chanjuan, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, the Little Demoness, and others.

One by one they looked at Jun Xiaoyao, their expressions filled with overwhelming excitement.

Especially the women among them — some with admiration, some with longing, and some with a hint of grievance.

This made Jiang Luoli beside them feel quite sour.

Her Xiaoyao brother was simply far too popular.

Especially after slaying the Ultimate Calamity.

Jun Xiaoyao's devoted admirers would only keep growing in number.

It left Jiang Luoli feeling a little insecure.

"Alright everyone, this isn't a convenient place to talk. Let's find somewhere to rest first." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Young Master, please follow this old man."

Scar Fourth Master immediately spoke up and arranged accommodations for Jun Xiaoyao and the others.

Jun Xiaoyao did not leave the Primordial Emperor City right away.

Because he still had someone to wait for.

Before long, Scar Fourth Master arranged a fine palace within the Primordial Emperor City for Jun Xiaoyao and the others to rest in.

What followed was naturally a round of catching up and conversation.

Jun Xiaoyao also shared some things about the foreign realm with everyone.

Of course, he was selective in what he revealed.

Some things were better left unknown.

For instance, the calamity facing the Immortal Domain had not truly come to an end.

The Ultimate Calamity was merely the beginning.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also brought out the little Divine Demon Ant.

As a descendant of the Divine Demon Emperor and a rare primordial divine insect, the little Divine Demon Ant naturally caused quite a stir.

However, the little Divine Demon Ant kept staring fixedly at Yan Rumeng.

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Rumeng was starting to feel a little unsettled from being stared at like that.

"What species are you?" the little Divine Demon Ant asked bluntly.

Among certain primordial divine insects, there is a natural sense of recognition between them.

It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Can Daozi of the Silkworm Valley had been so covetous of Yan Rumeng before.

Yan Rumeng's true form was the Heavenly Dream Illusory Butterfly, a primordial exotic species on par with the Ancient Imperial Butterfly and the Heaven-Splitting Demon Butterfly.

"What do you mean, what species?"

Yan Rumeng was so furious she ground her teeth in secret.

She was a stunning beauty with long legs, peerless in the world, and yet she was being asked what species she was — it was simply too insulting.

Everyone burst out laughing, thoroughly amused, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Several days passed quickly.

Throughout the entire Primordial Emperor City, countless cultivators were still discussing the earlier battle against the calamity.

Jun Wuhui and Jun Xiaoyao, father and son, were without question elevated to the status of legends.

And just at this moment.

A group of beings arrived outside the palace where Jun Xiaoyao and the others were staying, their expressions cold and indifferent.

"Those are… beings from the Ancient Imperial Clans?"

When people saw this group, many were surprised.

They knew that the Ancient Imperial Clans and other forces had some friction with the Jun family.

But what were they here to see Jun Xiaoyao about now?

"Right, have you all forgotten — back during the training expedition in the Desolate Heaven…"

Some disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy spoke up.

Previously, the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy had organized a training expedition to the Desolate Heaven, specifically to counter the War God Academy of the foreign realm.

During that time, the Chaotic Body of the foreign realm's War God had consecutively slain ten seed-level geniuses.

And those were all seeds of the Ancient Imperial Clans.

Now, the truth had come to light.

That Chaotic Body of the foreign realm's War God was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.

Didn't that mean it was Jun Xiaoyao who had slain the seeds of the Ancient Imperial Clans?

It was understandable that they had come looking for him.

"Jun Xiaoyao, come out!"

Among the Ancient Imperial Clans, a man dressed in feathered robes, with an aura at the Heavenly Venerate level, called out coldly.

He was an elder of the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave.

One of their seed-level geniuses, the Phoenix Girl, had died at Jun Xiaoyao's hands during the Desolate Heaven training expedition.

"Jun Xiaoyao, going undercover in the foreign realm is one thing, but why did you have to ruthlessly kill our clan's genius!"

The beings from the Dragon King Palace also spoke up.

Their seed-level genius Xuan Haoqung had also fallen at Jun Xiaoyao's hands.

In addition, beings from the Solar Mountain, the Nine Nether Mountain, and the Silkworm Valley had also come.

Then, members of the Underworld King lineage and the Sacred Spirit Island also arrived.

Because the Underworld King lineage's seed genius, the Holy Yanluo, and the Sacred Spirit Island's White Bone Young Master, had likewise died at Jun Xiaoyao's hands during the Desolate Heaven training expedition.

"What are you all making noise about!"

At that moment, an impatient and cold shout rang out.

A man with green wings on his back and a powerful aura stepped forward — it was the Fufeng King.

As a quasi-immortal, he was now being used as a mount, and had been bottling up his frustration.

And now, some blind fools had come to provoke trouble.

Wasn't that just handing the Fufeng King a punching bag?

Pfft!

The Fufeng King, a quasi-immortal — that is, a quasi-emperor.

Even just a wisp of his aura sent a group of Ancient Imperial Clan beings flying, spitting blood.

"Hiss… using a quasi-emperor as a mount and even having him guard the door…"

The countless onlooking cultivators of the Immortal Domain were left speechless.

Jun Xiaoyao's status and prestige was simply on another level.

Only then did Jun Xiaoyao and his group appear.

He glanced at the Ancient Imperial Clan beings sprawled about in disarray.

His eyes were utterly cold and indifferent.

"I haven't gone looking for you, yet here you are coming to me first." Jun Xiaoyao said flatly.

"Jun Xiaoyao, what do you mean by this — are you using foreign realm beings to bully us!?"

An elder from the Silkworm Valley shouted furiously.

"Don't play these petty games. I went undercover in the foreign realm, so I know far more than anyone else."

"Back then, how did those seed-level geniuses of your Ancient Imperial Clans manage to track my movements and whereabouts so precisely — do you really have no idea?"

"Or do you need me to say it out loud right here — that your Ancient Imperial Clans had secret ties with the foreign realm's imperial clan, and may even have been passing along intelligence?"

Jun Xiaoyao's cold words exploded across the Primordial Emperor City!
