Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Mysterious Guardian Strikes, Seriously Wounds Elder Canglong, Leaving Him Powerless
At the entrance of the Venerable Secret Treasure, Jun Xiaoyao and others appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao, dressed in white, exuded an immortal elegance. Even after a major battle, he remained spotless, as if he had just returned from an outing.
This indifferent and carefree demeanor made many female cultivators around him scream, their eyes filled with admiration.
Jun Xiaoyao was simply the unparalleled male god in their hearts.
However, before these fanatics could become excited, two majestic Saint Realm auras burst forth uncontrollably.
They came from Ji Bangyin and the Elder of the Azure Dragon Lineage.
The two overwhelming auras instantly plunged the noisy Taixu Forest into silence.
Many figures of influence had solemn gazes, aware that what would follow wouldn’t be easily resolved.
Jun Xiaoyao’s actions indeed had no restraints.
He had forced the Dragon Maiden of the Ancestral Dragon Nest to flee in embarrassment.
He severed the Saint King’s arm from the Ji Family’s Little Saint.
One could say, had this been done by any other celestial pride from another power apart from Jun Xiaoyao,
they would have been immediately obliterated by the elders of the Ancestral Dragon Nest and the Ji Family upon appearing.
"Jun Xiaoyao, they say to leave some room for future encounters. Aren’t you being too excessive?"
Ji Bangyin, his face dark and cold, spoke harshly.
Beside him was Ji Xuan, who had been teleported out by the Great Shifting Talisman.
At this moment, Ji Xuan’s face was pale, his eyes dazed, clutching the stump of his severed arm, looking like a living corpse.
Anyone with discernment could see that Ji Xuan’s Dao Heart had completely collapsed.
For a celestial pride, defeat wasn’t terrifying.
What’s terrifying is the collapse of one’s Dao Heart, rendering them irrecoverable, becoming a mere waste.
Ji Xuan, Ji Family’s Little Saint, had entered the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure full of confidence.
Yet now, he turned into this lifeless state.
No wonder Ji Bangyin was so enraged.
"Excessive? How am I excessive, it was merely a normal competition of skills."
In the face of Ji Bangyin’s Saint Realm pressure, Jun Xiaoyao remained unfazed, composed.
He wasn’t even afraid of the Venerable Level Demon Corpse’s pressure, how could he fear the pressure of a Saint?
"You old thing, what do you intend to do to my grandson?" Jun Zhantian also swiftly appeared before Jun Xiaoyao.
At this time, the Elder of the Azure Dragon Lineage brought Dragon Jade Pool forward as well.
Dragon Jade Pool, her body trembled behind the elder, her gaze towards Jun Xiaoyao still filled with fear.
Her Dao Heart might not have collapsed like Ji Xuan’s, but it wasn’t much better.
At the very least, Jun Xiaoyao had left a shadow in her heart.
"Jun Xiaoyao, let’s not talk about what you did to our clan’s Dragon Maiden for now, but that Dragon Bone, which the Primordial Heaven Venerable took from our Ancestral Dragon Nest, shouldn’t it be returned to its rightful owner now?"
The Elder of the Azure Dragon Lineage said in a deep voice.
With the Ancestral Dragon Nest’s domineering nature, if any other power got the Dragon Bone, the Azure Dragon elder would have likely taken it by force.
But the one who got the Dragon Bone was the Jun Family’s Divine Son, making the Azure Dragon elder feel quite troubled.
"Ha, the always domineering Ancestral Dragon Nest is actually being reasonable."
"But this Dragon Bone was obtained by my own abilities, why should I return it?"
Jun Xiaoyao laughed, with a hint of cold sarcasm.
The Azure Dragon elder’s face twitched slightly, then he said, "Fine, let’s forget about the four Ancient Dragon Bones, but the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone must be returned."
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao sneered even more, "Ancestral Dragon Nest, don’t push it, have you so quickly forgotten the pain of the Dark Dragon Venerable?"
"Junior, you’re presumptuous!"
Jun Xiaoyao’s public revelation of the Ancestral Dragon Nest’s wound made the Azure Dragon elder’s face look grim, unable to resist a shout.
However, just as the Azure Dragon elder was chiding him,
from a distant void, suddenly a high-pitched zither sound resounded.
The zither sound turned into a killing blade, slicing through the void, rushing directly towards the Azure Dragon elder.
The fierce aura made even Saints feel tingling on their scalps.
Puff!
The Zither Sound Killing Blade flashed past, directly slicing half of the Azure Dragon elder’s body, with vivid crystalline dragon blood splattering out.
With one move, he heavily injured a Saint!
A sound of shock and uproar spread across the land.
The Azure Dragon elder retreated violently, an unprecedented horror in his eyes!
"Who is the esteemed figure that acted?" the Azure Dragon elder trembled as he asked.
However, there was no response.
Instead, Jun Zhantian’s eyes showed a hint of unusual color, "Xiaoyao, it seems your guardian intervened."
"Guardian?" Jun Xiaoyao slightly raised his eyebrows.
Even his guardian was mysterious enough not to show themselves.
However, using a zither sound as an attack method was somewhat novel.
"Your guardian has quite an impressive background; you’ll understand in time," Jun Zhantian said with a mysterious air.
Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze narrowed.
Just who exactly was this guardian the Jun Family assigned to him?
However, while the speaker meant no further intention, the listeners paid attention; all surrounding cultivators had eyes filled with shock upon hearing this conversation.
The Jun Family had actually assigned such a powerful guardian to Jun Xiaoyao.
It was known that typically, even the most immortal influences only assigned Saint-level guardians to their celestial prides.
"It seems the Jun Family’s Divine Son indeed holds an extraordinary status within the Jun Family..." many sighed.
The Azure Dragon elder, suppressing his injuries, kept his mouth shut, not daring to utter more words.
Ji Bangyin even more so turned pale, extremely apprehensive, not daring to say anything further.
The trouble was easily suppressed this way.
"It seems both have nothing more to say, then I shall take my leave," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
As he left, he did not forget to cast a mocking remark, killing hearts with words.
The Azure Dragon elder and Ji Bangyin’s faces turned a shade of purple but they stifled themselves, not saying a word.
The Jun Family and others, including the Jiang Family, departed together.
Once they had left, the Azure Dragon elder and Ji Bangyin let out roars of fury, their voices shaking three thousand miles.
The two immortal influences had never suffered such losses before.
"Ah, worthy of being one of the Three Royal Families, the Jun Family, managing to suppress two immortal Daoist lineages without issue," some cultivators lamented.
The Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure concluded in such an ending.
Though at the beginning, many speculated that the Jun Family’s Divine Son would have the most outstanding performance in this treasure hunt,
no one expected he would stand out to this extent.
He almost completely overshadowed all other celestial prides.
The Ancestral Dragon Nest Dragon Maiden, Ji Family’s Little Saint, Taigu Royal Race’s Nine-headed Lion, Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, none could match Jun Xiaoyao.
Even in the end, Jun Xiaoyao suppressed the Venerable Demon Corpse.
This almost shocked everyone’s eyes.
If the news spread, it would shake half of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.
There were already rumors that Jun Xiaoyao would be one of the few standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm in this era.
One could say, through this journey to the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure, Jun Xiaoyao had thoroughly made a name for himself in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.
However, while some rejoiced, others grieved.
In Southern Heaven City, a man and a woman appeared, none other than Wu Mingyue and Xiao Chen.
