Chapter 954 - 954 The Chief of the Ten Heavenly Kings
Jun Xiaoyao's standards were harsh.
Those who qualified to become his followers naturally possessed something extraordinary that set them apart from ordinary people.
At this point, Jun Xiaoyao had a total of five followers.
Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, Wangchuan, Yongjie Tiannu, Su Hongyi.
Looking at Su Hongyi kneeling devoutly before him, Jun Xiaoyao said lightly, "Rise."
"Yes." Su Hongyi stood up.
Though her body was still filthy, her red dress tattered and torn.
The strange scars on her face and body had not fully faded either.
But that sharp, icy aura like a cold wind, along with the ruthlessness she had just shown in instantly killing Yuedai Xianzi.
Made every prodigy present fall silent, no longer daring to look down on this dirty young girl.
Sensing the many wary, fearful, and frightened gazes around her.
Su Hongyi felt a complicated mix of emotions deep inside.
From being despised by everyone, to being feared by everyone.
Jun Xiaoyao had given her a rebirth unlike anything she had ever known.
Even if Jun Xiaoyao had not planted a slave mark on Su Hongyi.
Su Hongyi would still devote herself wholeheartedly to serving Jun Xiaoyao.
The atmosphere across the entire scene felt somewhat frozen.
After all, a proud daughter of a quasi-imperial clan had died miserably on the spot.
If it had been anyone else who made the move, the Blue Moon Clan would certainly not have let it go.
But if it was Jun Xiaoyao.
The Blue Moon Clan would absolutely not make things difficult for Jun Xiaoyao over a single Yuedai Xianzi.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao was not exactly alone and without backing now.
Behind him stood the ancient supreme of the academy.
And just at that moment, a voice carrying a hint of casual provocation and ease rang out.
"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing is believing. Rumor has it the Chaos Body is peerlessly domineering, and now seeing it firsthand, it truly lives up to its name."
"A quasi-imperial clan prodigy, killed off with a casual order."
Hearing this voice, every gaze in the crowd turned toward it.
"He's here." Li Jiuming said inwardly.
In the distance, a handsome young man dressed in blue with blue hair came walking through the air.
Beneath his feet, clusters of blue spider lilies bloomed, forming a bridge that extended toward him.
That blue-clad young man walked along the blue bridge of spider lilies just like that, unhurried, his bearing composed and at ease.
"It's the Spider Lily Prince of the blue spider lily lineage!"
"Goodness, this one is the leader of the Ten Great Heavenly Kings!"
The appearance of the Spider Lily Prince undoubtedly stirred waves across the entire scene.
Many people's gazes shifted back and forth between Jun Xiaoyao and the Spider Lily Prince.
Although these two had not had any conflict before.
When Jun Xiaoyao had dealt with Li Jiuming earlier, he had said some words belittling the Ten Great Heavenly Kings.
Something about not letting him think all Ten Great Heavenly Kings were weaklings.
This naturally included the Spider Lily Prince as well.
And it was common knowledge that.
The Spider Lily Prince had a perverse temperament, was extremely arrogant, and self-centered.
Because he had the backing of the Spider Lily imperial clan, he acted without restraint.
His status was not much lower than that of someone like Li Jiuming, a young lord of an imperial clan.
Given the Spider Lily Prince's personality, he was obviously a little displeased inside.
"You're the leader of the Ten Great Heavenly Kings?"
Jun Xiaoyao also sized up the Spider Lily Prince.
His aura was indeed not weak.
"Chaos Body Jun Xiaoyao, five of the Ten Great Heavenly Kings have fallen at your hands. That is truly eye-opening." The Spider Lily Prince's tone carried a playful note.
He was not the kind of brainless, hot-headed minor villain.
He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of scrutiny and cold light within them.
He was guessing and gauging just how strong Jun Xiaoyao's true power really was.
"This young master doesn't think it's because I'm too strong." Jun Xiaoyao was equally composed, responding with ease.
The implication being that the prodigies at the level of the Ten Great Heavenly Kings were simply too weak.
"Ah, Brother Xiaoyao is being too modest. You are someone who, at the quasi-supreme realm, killed a supreme in reverse, shaking all ten great provinces."
The Spider Lily Prince smiled.
It gave off quite the feeling of a smiling tiger.
Listening to the exchange between these two, the tens of thousands of prodigies present were all paying close attention.
There was no fierce clash.
Yet it gave off a sense of daggers hidden in smiles, of two sharp points meeting head-on.
"So, do you want to try?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
He wanted to use the Spider Lily Prince as a breakthrough point to find clues about the Spider Lily clan.
"Today is the Heaven's Choice Grand Assembly. I'm mainly here to recruit followers." The Spider Lily Prince said with a smile.
Hearing this, many people felt a quiet sense of disappointment.
It seemed they wouldn't get to see an exciting fight after all.
Many also felt that the Spider Lily Prince had somewhat backed down from Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, this was a Chaos Body who had slain a supreme.
Even those dormant imperial sons and heavenly maidens would probably be on extreme guard.
Jun Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was waiting.
In the time that followed, the Spider Lily Prince also selected a few followers.
Their talent, strength, and background were all considerable.
Not much inferior to Yuedai Xianzi.
Of course, there was no comparison to Su Hongyi.
Su Hongyi was gold buried in sand, unearthed by Jun Xiaoyao.
Many other prodigies also wished to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
But Jun Xiaoyao ignored them all, making no move to select any more followers.
After finishing the selection of followers, the Spider Lily Prince swept his gaze over these few people and said.
"You should know what I hate most, and that is betrayal."
"We will naturally devote ourselves to serving you, my lord." These few followers all said with cupped hands.
"Very good. But next, I want to make you understand what happens to those who betray."
"Not just you, but everyone present. You should know what fate awaits those who betray their own race, who betray our world!"
As the Spider Lily Prince's words fell.
In the distant sky, a rumbling sound arose.
Nine white-boned vultures pulled a prison cart forward.
Inside the prison cart was a young girl with blood-stained clothes.
The girl had a slender figure, long jet-black hair like a waterfall, and wore a ghost-face mask on her face.
Her limbs were thin, wrapped in blood-soaked bandages.
Her entire being looked extremely frail, having suffered severe injuries and torment.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell upon her at once.
It was Xuanyue.
"Huh, that person is..."
Whispers broke out across the plaza.
"This person is a member of the Spider Lily organization under my Spider Lily imperial clan."
"But she has betrayed her own race, betrayed our world."
"In the Divine Ruins World, she stepped forward for the divine son of the immortal domain Jun family."
"This kind of betrayal, my Spider Lily clan will not tolerate!"
The Spider Lily Prince's voice spread throughout heaven and earth.
He had planned this long ago. Once Xuanyue was captured, he would torture and execute her in front of everyone.
First, to shape his own image of loyalty and righteousness.
Second, to establish the authority of the blue spider lily lineage.
Hearing the Spider Lily Prince's words, all the foreign-realm prodigies present came to their senses, their eyes filled with contempt.
"Kill her. Those who betray our world cannot be tolerated!"
"That's right, traitors like this must be put to death!"
Many foreign-realm beings cried out.
Traitors are unwelcome anywhere.
Inside the prison cart, beneath the ghost-face mask, Xuanyue's expression was very calm.
She had not the slightest regret.
She did not even care that she was about to be executed.
She only cared about whether Jun Xiaoyao had truly fallen.
"Did you really die?" Xuanyue murmured.
