Chapter 1167 - 1167 Third-Party Intervention
True dragons and phoenixes have always stood as equals, both having reigned supreme in the primordial age.
Moreover, these two great races each held vast influence, not confined to any single lineage or faction.
Watching Long Ji Princess make her move, the little Divine Demon Ant wiped the sweat from its forehead and said with a look of sincerity,
"Loach sister, thank you, you're the best loach of them all."
Long Ji Princess heard this and her chest heaved, feeling a surge of exasperation, unable to help but roll her eyes.
The Divine Demon Ant clan had once competed with the dragon clan for supremacy of the physical body, so the little Divine Demon Ant had always harbored bias and contempt toward the dragon clan.
But Long Ji Princess was Jun Xiaoyao's person, and she had just extended a helping hand, so it naturally had to express its gratitude.
It was just that the manner of this gratitude made Long Ji Princess's forehead twitch with visible irritation.
Was this actually gratitude, or was it an insult?
"If you weren't the master's pet, I wouldn't bother with you." Long Ji Princess said, pursing her red lips.
"What pet, me and Big Bro Jun are sworn brothers!" the little Divine Demon Ant jumped up and retorted.
On the other side, Huang Nie Dao glanced over at Long Ji Princess.
Long Ji Princess had a tall and slender figure, her dark hair flowing freely, her skin like white jade, her beautiful legs swaying with graceful charm.
A peerless beauty like this — any other man would have placed her on a pedestal and worshipped her like a goddess.
Yet here with Jun Xiaoyao, she was apparently only fit to serve as a mount, ridden beneath him.
This was simply a waste of a heavenly gift.
"You are also a primordial imperial bloodline being, with even a trace of ancient imperial blood within you, yet you willingly serve as a mount for a human. Don't you feel it demeans your dragon clan's dignity?"
Long Ji Princess's expression remained unchanged as she said, "My master will one day grow to become the greatest powerhouse in all of history. Even being merely his mount is the highest of honors."
Long Ji Princess had once been Jun Xiaoyao's adversary, before later being subdued by him.
Along the way, she had personally witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's rise.
And had become utterly and wholeheartedly devoted to him.
"I truly don't know what kind of spell that Jun Xiaoyao cast on you to make you lose your senses like this."
"This little ancestor can offer you a chance — abandon the dark and follow the light, come under my banner. What do you say?"
Long Ji Princess had both an exceptional figure and appearance, carried a trace of ancient imperial bloodline within her, and had also inherited the legacy of the Nine-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor.
If she could be brought under his command, that would be quite a gain.
Long Ji Princess heard this, and her expression turned utterly cold.
"Are you worthy?"
Three simple words that said everything about Long Ji Princess's disdain.
Did he really think she was that kind of woman who would go along with just anyone?
Only Jun Xiaoyao had the right to make her willingly submit.
As for everyone else, Long Ji Princess couldn't even be bothered to spare them a glance.
Huang Nie Dao's eyes turned slightly cold.
For a man, there is no greater insult than being looked down upon by a woman.
"In that case, there's nothing left to say. I'll destroy you first, then take the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root."
Huang Nie Dao made his move again, driving his Undying Primordial Spirit.
The black undying flames surged like a vast and boundless ocean.
Long Ji Princess's expression grew grave.
Although she too possessed a trace of ancient imperial bloodline,
compared to Huang Nie Dao's direct ancient imperial bloodline, the gap was still considerable.
If she hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Nine-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor,
she would have had no right whatsoever to face Huang Nie Dao in battle.
Boom!
The clash erupted here once more, with the little Divine Demon Ant and Long Ji Princess going up against Huang Nie Dao.
But even so, they were completely suppressed, their primordial spirits beginning to grow unstable.
Yet they refused to accept it, unwilling to lose their chance like this.
"Huang Nie Dao, you've gone too far..."
Some of the Immortal Academy disciples present had expressions that turned somewhat cold.
Jun Xiaoyao could be domineering at times, it was true.
But he was only ever domineering toward the strong.
Such as the Immortal Court's Young Emperor and those of his kind.
In all the time Jun Xiaoyao had been at the Immortal Academy, no one had ever seen him put on airs toward any of its disciples.
Huang Nie Dao, on the other hand, only ever sought his sense of existence by picking on these ordinary disciples.
If it were the Immortal Court, or other supreme prodigies of the imperial clans, Huang Nie Dao would never have been so arrogant.
"If my master were here, would you still be this brazen?" Long Ji Princess said, her jade face cold as ice.
"Exactly, this bird-brained bully only ever picks on the weak and fears the strong!" the little Divine Demon Ant shouted.
Huang Nie Dao's expression didn't change, as if he hadn't heard a word.
Perhaps that was simply the truth.
But what could anyone do when he had the power to back it up?
"Noise."
Huang Nie Dao brought his palm crashing down, the overwhelming undying flames condensing into a massive hand of fire, like a burning sky collapsing downward.
This palm strike was meant to completely annihilate the little Divine Demon Ant and Long Ji Princess.
To cut off their chance at obtaining the treasure here.
At that moment, another palm came striking from afar, colliding with Huang Nie Dao's flaming hand and sending waves of force rippling outward.
"Who's there?"
Huang Nie Dao said coldly, clearly displeased.
From the distance, a man and a woman came striding over.
It was none other than Jun Bieli and Li Qing'er.
Jun Bieli wore plain cloth robes, his appearance utterly unremarkable, the kind of person who would be lost in a crowd.
Yet he was the seed of the Jun family, bearing the title of the Cloth-Robed Son of Heaven.
He had even once defeated the Nine-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor in his youth, severing one of his fingers.
Seeing who had arrived, Long Ji Princess's expression became somewhat complicated.
She had once harbored deep hatred for Jun Bieli, because he had not only made a move against Jun Xiaoyao, but was also the inner demon of the Nine-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor.
But now, with the misunderstanding resolved, her hatred toward him had faded considerably.
"Thank you." Long Ji Princess hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Mm." Jun Bieli gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze toward Huang Nie Dao.
"Thinking you can monopolize the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root — you're far too naive."
Jun Bieli's bearing was calm and unassuming, returning to a state of natural simplicity.
His arrival gave some of the Immortal Academy disciples present a jolt of renewed spirit.
Particularly some disciples from the ancient aristocratic families, who let out a breath of relief.
Jun Bieli, while not as breathtakingly transcendent as Jun Xiaoyao, was still an absolutely top-tier prodigy of the Jun family.
Huang Nie Dao's expression tightened slightly.
If it were only Jun Bieli alone, he could still manage.
But the blue-robed young woman beside Jun Bieli also gave him a faint sense of threat.
This left Huang Nie Dao somewhat baffled.
The news of Jun Bieli giving the Heavenly Dao Crown to Li Qing'er had not spread widely, so not many people were aware of it.
"Then let everyone show what they're capable of, and see who can claim the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root."
Though Huang Nie Dao was inwardly on guard, he clearly had no intention of showing weakness.
Just as everyone expected Huang Nie Dao and Jun Bieli to break into open battle,
a voice suddenly rang out.
"The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root has ripened."
"As expected, it's drawn in a swarm of ants."
"No matter, just take it directly."
These words made many of the Immortal Academy disciples reveal expressions of fury.
Those who could enter the Immortal Academy were all exceptional individuals, yet they were being called ants by others.
Even Jun Bieli and Huang Nie Dao, who had been on the verge of fighting, both furrowed their brows slightly and shifted their gazes.
Several figures shrouded in a hazy blue light emerged from the void, carrying an air of transcendent detachment.
"You — you're not Immortal Academy disciples?"
Jun Bieli looked at those figures, his brow furrowing slightly.
Among the Immortal Academy disciples who had come to the Void Heaven Realm this time, these individuals should not have been among them.
However, those figures heard his words and couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
"Immortal Academy disciples, ha."
"Does the Immortal Academy have the right to make us its disciples?"
Their words conveyed an utter contempt for the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy.
Even Huang Nie Dao's eyes turned cold.
Though he himself cared little for the Immortal Academy, he was, after all, currently training there for the time being.
"Who exactly are you people, daring to spout such nonsense before this little ancestor!" Huang Nie Dao said coldly, flicking his sleeve.
Among those figures, one stepped forward and said with an utterly indifferent tone, "All you ants, step aside. The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root is not something the likes of you are fit to touch!"
