Chapter 994 - 994 The Ancient Imperial Clan
Behind the ghost-face mask, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, unsurprised.
Now, Ling Yuan was no longer simply Ling Yuan.
Her perceptiveness was extraordinarily keen.
But unfortunately.
Jun Xiaoyao could not reveal his identity to the cultivators on the Immortal Domain side.
He had not even shown his true self to Princess Longjí and the others.
Let alone Ling Yuan, who belonged to the Immortal Court lineage.
So, faced with Ling Yuan's questioning at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao spoke in a low, magnetic voice with cool indifference: "You really do have nerve. Aren't you afraid I'll have the Immortal Court replace you as Young Emperor?"
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Ling Yuan's expression didn't change in the slightest.
At this moment, she was like a stubborn young girl.
Who only wanted one answer.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
That hauntingly familiar feeling, that peerless white-robed bearing.
Ling Yuan's heart was trembling faintly.
She didn't even know whether it was because of herself, or because of Tiannu Yuan.
Or perhaps both.
Beneath the desolate starry sky of the Borderlands, amid the barren wasteland.
Jun Xiaoyao did not turn around, nor did he look back.
He simply said lightly.
"Does it really matter who I am?"
"Regardless of anything, we stand on opposing sides."
Jun Xiaoyao's words were not wrong.
Whether he was the Alien Chaos Body or the Jun family's Divine Son, he and Ling Yuan were on opposing sides.
In that case, what difference did it make who he was?
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Ling Yuan's delicate body suddenly trembled.
She bit her lip hard.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and left directly.
He would not reveal his identity to Ling Yuan outright.
Even so, it might make the torment in Ling Yuan's heart all the more unbearable.
Watching the retreating figure of Jun Xiaoyao as he left.
Ling Yuan suddenly realized her snow-white cheeks were wet.
A single tear slid down.
Only then did she understand that what she truly cared about was not whether that figure was Jun Xiaoyao or not.
But rather……
She was missing him.
Even though he had fallen for several years, she still thought of him.
This had nothing to do with whether she was Ling Yuan or Tiannu Yuan.
Even without Tiannu Yuan's soul merging into her, Ling Yuan would still feel this way.
Beneath the Black Abyss, entangled across a hundred lifetimes.
In the valley space within the Divine Ruins World where the Joyful Pink Lotus was sealed, the two had been enveloped by the Lover's Flower.
One day amid the love flowers, a thousand years of longing.
And on her snow-white thigh, there was still a "Jun" character mark that remained to this day.
After experiencing so much with Jun Xiaoyao.
Ling Yuan had long since been unable to simply regard him as an opponent.
Perhaps, without even realizing it, she had already fallen deep within.
Ling Yuan raised her jade hand, wiped away the trace of tears on her face, and regained her composure.
She believed that if it truly was him, then he would surely return.
If it was not, then Ling Yuan feared she would spend her entire life in solitude.
Forever remaining that lofty, untouchable Imperial Daughter and Young Emperor, devoid of feeling and emotion.
On the other side.
Jun Xiaoyao strolled through the void.
Compared to Ling Yuan, his state of mind was very calm.
After all, to some extent, men tend to be a bit more rational and composed than women when it comes to matters of the heart.
"Big brother, that person just now seems to be from the Immortal Court."
On Jun Xiaoyao's shoulder, the little Divine Demon Ant said.
It could naturally recognize the Heavenly Emperor's Throne — that was the supreme immortal artifact belonging to the Immortal Court.
"That's right, she is the current Young Emperor of the Immortal Court." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"But she seems to have feelings for you……" The little Divine Demon Ant looked puzzled.
It had heard from its father before that the Jun family seemed to have always been vying with the Immortal Court for dominance over the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
These two great powers should be on opposing sides.
Yet now the female Young Emperor of the Immortal Court had feelings for the Jun family's Divine Son, which was very strange.
"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Feelings are mostly illusory things."
"Little Yi, you're still young. The waters here run too deep, you can't handle it." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
Only he could handle it.
Otherwise he wouldn't have had Luo Xiangling completely wrapped around his finger.
Of course, this kind of scoundrel behavior was not something he needed to teach the little Divine Demon Ant.
Better not to lead it astray.
The little Divine Demon Ant nodded with a half-understanding look, then said: "Where are we going next?"
"The Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground." Jun Xiaoyao gazed into the distance.
He was a little puzzled — the Blood Emperor's Son, Ji Meng's Emperor's Son, and the others didn't seem to have made their move yet.
Earlier he had been able to sense that those few individuals seemed to harbor ill intentions toward him.
"It looks like there will be another good show at the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was deep and penetrating.
He also had a faint premonition that at the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground, he might reap great rewards.
Jun Xiaoyao took the little Divine Demon Ant and swept off in the direction of the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.
……
The Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground, as one of the forbidden zones of the Borderlands, had been rife with turmoil in recent times.
It was a main battlefield where the outstanding talents of the two realms clashed and slaughtered one another.
Around the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground, the earth was a vast expanse of crimson red.
It was unclear whether it was the natural color of the sand and soil, or whether it had been stained red by endless blood.
During this period, the outstanding talents of the two realms had engaged in fierce battles centered around the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.
However, none had managed to venture deep inside.
The blood of those fallen talents seeped into the earth, and in some imperceptible way, it seemed to have triggered a certain reaction.
In a certain area at the edge of the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.
Several outstanding talents from the Immortal Domain advanced with vigilance.
Suddenly, a red figure, swift as lightning, came charging toward them with killing intent.
"Death wish!"
The several Immortal Domain talents snapped to attention and unleashed their magical powers and divine abilities.
Whoosh!
A cold gleam flashed past.
Blood lines appeared on the necks of those several Immortal Domain talents, and then with a splurt, blood sprayed out.
Their primordial spirits were extinguished in an instant.
The red figure came to a halt, revealing its form — it was none other than Su Hongyi.
She wore a red dress like fire, her figure somewhat slender.
Her black hair was very long, cascading like a waterfall.
Her fair and delicate face, though not yet at the level of devastating beauty, was already the makings of a great beauty.
Her forehead hair fell down, faintly veiling a pair of blood-red crimson eyes.
Her outward appearance was like that of the girl next door.
But her methods of killing, and the coldness in those crimson eyes, were entirely at odds with her looks.
Only in front of Jun Xiaoyao was she that self-conscious and sensitive girl who desperately wanted to earn his approval.
In front of anyone else, she always wore an expression as cold as ice.
"I can feel it, my power is growing stronger and stronger. The stronger I become, the more I can help the young master."
Su Hongyi lowered her head, looking at her own hands drenched in blood.
Without the slightest discomfort or conflict, she was instead very happy.
Happy that she was growing stronger, happy that she could be of help to Jun Xiaoyao.
Rumble!
Just then, the sky above the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground ahead seemed to crack open.
Blood light shimmered and rippled.
Everyone surrounding the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground saw it — something was seeping through from the cracks.
"Blood, that is……blood!" A talent's face turned pale as they cried out.
Thick, viscous blood seeped out from the cracks in the sky above the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.
Faintly, the wailing cries of various vengeful spirits could also be heard.
This made a whole group of outstanding talents feel their skin crawl, as if they had fallen into an icy pit.
Worthy of being a forbidden land of the Borderlands — it was truly eerie.
However, Su Hongyi suddenly had a strange inexplicable sensation.
She felt that the star-shaped birthmark below her navel on her lower abdomen was emanating an intense burning heat.
Within her pair of blood-red crimson eyes, it was as though a boundless sea of blood was surging, making them even more vivid, even more bewitching, even more ghostly and haunting!
Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Hongyi shot forward like an arrow, sweeping straight toward the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.
At the same time, on the other side.
A group of seed-level outstanding talents with powerful auras gathered here.
"The Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground has finally opened. We need to go in and lie in wait."
A towering man wreathed in golden dragon energy, holding a golden dragon king spear, said in a booming voice.
He was none other than Xuan Haoquiong, the seed-level outstanding talent of the Dragon King Hall.
"But that Chaos Body isn't so easy to deal with."
"The Heavenly Silkworm of the Divine Silkworm Valley, I've heard, fell at the hands of the Chaos Body."
"Afterward, the Holy Yanluo and others joined forces with a group from the Immortal Court to encircle and suppress the Chaos Body, and they were still utterly defeated."
A woman with an alluring, supremely enchanting figure, a pair of seven-colored wings growing from her snow-white jade back, said.
She was a seed-level outstanding talent of the ancient imperial clan, the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave, named Huang Nü.
"By entering the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground in advance, with our combined forces plus the Ancient Ninth Killing Formation, I refuse to believe we can't kill that Chaos Body!"
A robust man enveloped in solar divine flames strode forward treading upon boundless radiance, his tone resolute and decisive.
His entire being was like a figure cloaked within a sun star, incomparably dazzling, his brilliance illuminating all around.
He was none other than the Golden Crow Little Saint King of the Solar Divine Mountain.
In addition, more than ten other seed-level outstanding talents with powerful auras had gathered here, each one formidable in their own right.
But they all shared one thing in common — they were unmistakably all seed-level outstanding talents of the ancient imperial clans.
