Chapter 1159 - 1159 The Sky Is Falling, I'm Here
The entire scene fell silent!
No one had expected that the followers under Jun Xiaoyao would be so swift and decisive in their killing.
And what made it even more striking was that the ones who had struck were two delicate-looking girls.
The contrast left many people utterly stunned.
"Those two — one is the Immortal Thief,and the other red-clad girl was brought from a foreign realm by the Jun family's divine son. Every single one of them is this violent."
"Violent cute girls,love it love it."
"But they really are bold,killing people directly under the Ancient Young Emperor's command like that. It's going to stir up some serious conflict."
Many of the geniuses discussed among themselves,all turning their gazes toward Jun Xiaoyao.
If it had only been the beginning,the deaths of the sixteenth and the others might have been overlooked.
But now two more were dead.
This was simply one slap after another across the Ancient Young Emperor's face.
Even the most even-tempered person would not let this go.
Yet,what surprised everyone slightly was this.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained blank,his demeanor cold and indifferent.
He seemed to feel nothing at all about his followers killing people,and showed no intention of stopping them.
Meanwhile,Xuanyue and Su Hongyi,having killed the two knights,turned around once more and were about to strike down the remaining ones.
"How dare you!"
"Outrageous!"
Several knights shouted in fury,yet a chill crept into their hearts at the same time.
How could every single one of Jun Xiaoyao's followers be such monstrous talents — truly among the most powerful figures of this era.
Not the least bit inferior to the top figures among the Yanyun Eighteen Riders.
They were beginning to regret it,regretting that they had acted so impulsively,coming here to seek justice without first consulting the Young Emperor.
And just at that moment.
Two more figures appeared in the void.
One male,one female.
The man rode a blood crow.
His build was powerful and robust,his head full of crimson hair,his entire body covered in knotted muscles,tattooed all over with black-red demonic patterns.
He curled his lips slightly,revealing a mouth full of teeth like a shark's serrated jaws,looking utterly terrifying.
He seemed less like a human and more like a human demon.
The other figure,a woman,rode an immortal crane.
Dressed in a white gown,her aura was ethereal as mist,her skin snow-white,her beautiful eyes gleaming with intelligence.
Her features were also strikingly gorgeous,the kind that would make anyone feel drawn to her at first glance.
The appearance of these two left many people bewildered — the contrast in their auras was simply too great.
It was like beauty and the beast.
"It's the fourth and fifth of the Yanyun Eighteen Riders — Bai Luoxue and the Crimson-Haired Demon!"
On the Immortal Court's side,one of the geniuses who had some knowledge of history spoke up in surprise.
The Yanyun Eighteen Riders were all among the most powerful talents of their time.
But their rankings also loosely reflected their strength.
To rank fourth and fifth among the eighteen riders spoke volumes about their capabilities.
"I've heard that the Crimson-Haired Demon carries demonic bloodline,known as the Human Demon,said to have committed earth-shattering slaughter before being subdued with a single palm by the Ancient Young Emperor."
"And that Bai Luoxue is also a peerless heavenly maiden of her generation — not only extraordinarily powerful,but also deeply scheming. She willingly followed the Ancient Young Emperor out of admiration for him."
The Yanyun Eighteen Riders had been quite famous in that era,so some records of them had survived.
At this moment,Bai Luoxue and the Crimson-Haired Demon appeared and directly blocked the attacks of Xuanyue and Su Hongyi.
The remaining knights also let out a breath of relief.
Xuanyue and Su Hongyi,their strike having failed,immediately stepped back,their gazes cold as they watched Bai Luoxue and the others.
The atmosphere at the scene grew somewhat tense.
Jun Xiaoyao and the Immortal Court's Ancient Young Emperor — both could be called heavyweight figures.
For now,the two of them had not yet clashed directly.
But their followers had already faced off.
The remaining knights moved to stand beside Bai Luoxue and the others.
On this side,Yi Yu,Wangchuan,the Eternal Calamity Heavenly Maiden,and Yan Qingying — all four stepped forward as well.
Even a battle between followers was enough to draw everyone's attention.
Because every single one of them was among the most outstanding talents of the age.
Bai Luoxue swept her beautiful eyes across this side,her gaze finally landing on Jun Xiaoyao.
It had to be said — even Bai Luoxue was momentarily struck.
This white-robed young man was truly something special.
In terms of that noble bearing and aura,he was not the least bit inferior to her master.
If Jun Xiaoyao had been born in the same era as the Ancient Young Emperor,perhaps even Bai Luoxue might not have chosen the Ancient Young Emperor's side.
And now,a faint apologetic smile appeared on Bai Luoxue's face.
"We've made a spectacle of ourselves before the divine son. This was nothing more than a moment of impulsiveness on their part. I hope the divine son will forgive us."
"After all,our master is very much looking forward to meeting with the divine son."
Bai Luoxue's words caught many people off guard.
Was she voluntarily backing down?
Though some nodded inwardly.
Worthy of being the strategist-like presence among the Yanyun Eighteen Riders.
Bai Luoxue was retreating in order to advance.
That last line — the Ancient Young Emperor looking forward to meeting Jun Xiaoyao — implied,in other words,that Jun Xiaoyao should not push things too far and completely tear all pretense of civility,which would be bad for everyone.
However,what made Bai Luoxue's expression stiffen slightly was this.
Jun Xiaoyao still ignored her,paying her no attention whatsoever.
This left a trace of awkwardness and stiffness on Bai Luoxue's face.
She was,after all,a peerless heavenly maiden of her generation,a follower of the Young Emperor.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao didn't even have the inclination to say a single word to her.
"Hmph……"
The Crimson-Haired Demon curled his lips,his shark-like teeth grinding together and actually striking sparks.
Compared to Bai Luoxue,he preferred to simply tear his enemies apart.
"Alright,have you all made enough of a scene? It's about time — prepare to set out."
Third Elder Xumo,seeing this,let out a cold snort.
If he didn't step in now,watching these followers come to blows would be a real headache.
On the Yanyun Eighteen Riders' side,no one looked pleased.
Two of their people had died,and Elder Xumo hadn't said a word.
Now,he was suddenly playing peacemaker.
"Please forgive us,Elder Xumo. We were the ones who acted impulsively this time." Bai Luoxue's expression returned to composure as she took one long,deep look at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao truly paid no mind to someone like Bai Luoxue — she was nothing but an ant to him.
In terms of scheming,even Ji Qingyi,who was extraordinarily deep and calculating,could only be crushed by him.
A mere Bai Luoxue couldn't even compare to Ji Qingyi.
Still,Jun Xiaoyao found himself growing increasingly interested in that Ancient Young Emperor.
To have gathered such a group of followers who were at least somewhat passable.
That Ancient Young Emperor must truly have some real ability.
But that was what made it interesting.
Jun Xiaoyao needed opponents — otherwise,being unrivaled in the world would be far too lonely.
"We're sorry,young master. We were the ones who acted impulsively."
"We just couldn't stand watching them clamor at you."
Su Hongyi and Xuanyue stepped forward,both lowering their heads slightly.
They looked just like little girls who had done something wrong and were waiting to be scolded.
After all,what they had done could be said to have further inflamed the conflict between Jun Xiaoyao and that Ancient Young Emperor.
That was no simple figure to provoke.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward,raised his hand,and patted both girls on the head.
"You were indeed in the wrong."
Both girls lowered their heads even further.
"Where you went wrong was — for something like this,you shouldn't be apologizing to me."
"You killed them. So what."
"Even if the sky falls,I'm here. Are you really afraid of stirring up trouble you can't handle?"
Jun Xiaoyao's words were calm,yet the entire scene fell into complete silence.
This was the kind of dominance that belonged to Jun Xiaoyao alone.
What did it matter that the other was the Ancient Young Emperor — if they provoked him,they provoked him. Was he supposed to make his own people feel wronged?
In that moment,Xuanyue,Su Hongyi,and the many people around Jun Xiaoyao and his followers all felt their hearts surge with emotion.
Jun Xiaoyao — he was worth dedicating their entire lives to!
