SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1152 - 1151 Split the Immortal Court?

Is this still the same impartial and iron-faced enforcement elder?

Many immortal academy disciples were completely stunned.

Quite a few of them had been reprimanded by the enforcement elder before.

Even when facing the proud sons of immortal powers, the firstborn heirs of ancient families, or even the chosen geniuses of the immortal court, the enforcement elder had always been fair and strict, showing not the slightest favoritism.

So while many immortal academy disciples feared the enforcement elder, they also held him in deep respect.

But now, seeing this enforcement elder who was warm and amiable, even carrying a hint of flattery and ingratiation.

Everyone felt that the enforcement elder's image had completely collapsed.

"Elder, you're too kind. Jun had no right to act on his own and has caused trouble for the immortal academy." Jun Xiaoyao gave a light bow, expressing his apology.

You don't hit a smiling face.

Since the enforcement elder had already adopted such an attitude, Jun Xiaoyao naturally had to return the gesture.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's response, the enforcement elder's expression grew even warmer.

In truth, he had his own reasoning for acting this way.

If the true ancient Young Emperor had appeared in person and stood against Jun Xiaoyao.

Then the enforcement elder would have genuinely been in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

But if it was only the Young Emperor's followers, the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders.

Their status and importance were simply not comparable to Jun Xiaoyao in the slightest.

Ask yourself, would you offend a true dragon for the sake of a few ants?

Even if the true ancient Young Emperor himself appeared, his status and standing might not necessarily surpass Jun Xiaoyao's.

So the enforcement elder's favoritism was entirely without fault.

"Divine Son, please rest assured. They were the ones who provoked first and brought this fate upon themselves. Even the immortal court would find no reason or excuse to object."

"I will handle this matter afterward." The enforcement elder said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to the elder. If the elder has free time in the future, feel free to visit the Jun family." Jun Xiaoyao also said with a smile.

"Haha, that would naturally be my honor." The enforcement elder smiled even more warmly.

Being able to forge a good relationship with the most prosperous family in the immortal domain was naturally a wonderful thing.

Afterward, the enforcement elder tidied up the situation briefly, had someone clean up the scene, and then departed.

All the immortal academy disciples present witnessed this scene.

And finally understood.

What it meant to be a privileged class.

It turned out that some people were not required to follow the rules.

Rules were nothing more than constraints crafted by those above for those below, by the strong for the weak.

Jun Xiaoyao's status and standing were beyond the reach of any rule.

The Ancient Emperor's Son looked toward Jun Xiaoyao, feeling deeply unwilling.

Although he knew as well that the probability of the immortal academy punishing Jun Xiaoyao was virtually zero.

He just hadn't expected the immortal academy to fawn over Jun Xiaoyao so shamelessly.

It was simply because the merits Jun Xiaoyao had earned by annihilating the foreign calamity were too immense, leaving the immortal academy with no choice but to hold him in the palm of their hands.

Jun Xiaoyao also looked toward the Ancient Emperor's Son.

He had no intention of striking again.

Three of the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders had already been killed.

If he killed the Ancient Emperor's Son now as well, it would be tantamount to slapping the immortal academy in the face.

Besides, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, the Ancient Emperor's Son was nothing more than a clown at this point.

Whenever it was convenient, he could be disposed of with a casual hand.

The Ancient Emperor's Son turned to look at Ling Yuan, his tone carrying an extreme chill: "Ling Yuan, you always avoided the topic of Jun Xiaoyao before. So it really is like this?"

Although the Ancient Emperor's Son had already anticipated it.

The thought that Ling Yuan truly harbored special feelings for Jun Xiaoyao still stirred a deep resentment within him.

Ling Yuan's peerlessly beautiful face was equally cold and indifferent.

At this point, even without Jun Xiaoyao, she felt nothing but deep disgust toward the Ancient Emperor's Son.

Seeing Ling Yuan's expression, the Ancient Emperor's Son said coldly: "Don't forget, it was I who yielded the position of Young Emperor to you."

Ling Yuan's expression remained equally cold as she said: "Even without you, this princess had the strength to claim the position of Young Emperor on her own!"

"Good. Very good. Ling Yuan, does your Nüwa Immortal Lineage intend to betray our immortal court?" The Ancient Emperor's Son laughed out of fury.

Since all hope was now completely gone.

He might as well tear away all pretense.

Hearing these words, Ling Yuan was so furious her teeth itched.

The Ancient Emperor's Son actually wanted to drag the entire Nüwa Immortal Lineage down with him.

One could only imagine what kind of pressure the Nüwa Immortal Lineage would place on her afterward.

After all, her identity was still far too sensitive.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, his expression cold as he said: "Still making noise here. Do you truly believe I won't act?"

The Ancient Emperor's Son shot a wary glance at Jun Xiaoyao.

Then took one long, deep look at Ling Yuan.

"Ling Yuan, I hope your position as Young Emperor remains secure."

"Who knows who will truly lead the immortal court in the future?"

The Ancient Emperor's Son flicked his sleeve and left.

Ling Yuan's expression turned somewhat unsightly.

She naturally understood what the Ancient Emperor's Son meant by those words.

That ancient Young Emperor held an exalted status, even higher than hers as the current Young Emperor.

When that time came, what position would she be left in?

To submit to the ancient Young Emperor?

Clearly impossible.

Ling Yuan was a woman of immense inner pride, and she could never submit to another.

So there would inevitably be conflicts and turbulence ahead.

At that time, it would surely be another bloody and brutal struggle for power.

This gave Ling Yuan quite a headache, and she felt it was a thorny problem.

"Sister Ling Yuan, don't worry. Our Jingwei Immortal Lineage has always stood on your side."

Wei Qianqian stepped forward, lively and beautiful like a little lark.

"Mm, thank you for your support." Ling Yuan gave a slight nod.

In the current immortal court, the ones holding leadership positions were the Fuxi Immortal Lineage and the Nüwa Immortal Lineage.

The other immortal lineages, though also powerful, faced considerable difficulty competing for the position of ruling lineage.

The Jingwei Immortal Lineage had always followed the lead of the Nüwa Immortal Lineage.

While the Cangjie Immortal Lineage leaned toward the Fuxi Immortal Lineage's faction.

As for the other immortal lineages, some remained neutral, some harbored their own ambitions, and some had unclear intentions.

But what Ling Yuan was most concerned about was only one thing.

That was, the ancient Young Emperor most likely belonged to the Fuxi Immortal Lineage.

"Is this the Jun family's Divine Son? I don't think this is our first meeting."

Wei Qianqian turned to look at Jun Xiaoyao, her large eyes blinking and sparkling like little stars.

"That's right. I saw you before at the engagement ceremony between the Ancient Emperor's Son and the Heavenly Maiden Yuan." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.

"Tsk tsk, the Ancient Emperor's Son was really pitiful back then. Of course, he's still just as pitiful now." Wei Qianqian stuck out her tongue, looking rather gleeful at his misfortune.

"I killed Cang Li and the others during my training in the borderlands before. Do you mind?" Jun Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

Wei Qianqian wore an expression of complete indifference.

"What does that have to do with me? Besides, Cang Li was from the Cangjie Immortal Lineage, and they stand with the Fuxi Immortal Lineage's faction." Wei Qianqian said.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered quietly.

It seemed the internal strife within the immortal court was still fierce.

This was the difference between a power and a family.

Some families might also have internal conflicts, but there was still a bond of bloodline holding them together.

Whereas a colossal entity like the supreme immortal court had an intricate web of internal factions.

On the surface it appeared to be an absolutely dominant hegemon-level power.

But within, all manner of struggles and hidden dangers had long since emerged.

Compared to the immortal court.

The Jun family was practically harmonious and united to the extreme.

This was the advantage the Jun family possessed.

Thinking of all this, a faint gleam flickered in the depths of Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

"Is it time to completely fracture the immortal court?"

Jun Xiaoyao murmured inwardly, as though a certain scheme and plan had begun to take shape.

In truth, Jun Xiaoyao's greatest strength was not his monstrous talent, nor his overwhelming power.

It was his foresight and wisdom that could surpass even the heavens.

With Jun Xiaoyao present, any notion of that ancient Young Emperor stepping forward to unite the immortal court was nothing short of a pipe dream.
