Chapter 2606

The voice of the Empress Drought Demon was icy yet pleasant to the ear.

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful voice would be the overture to this world's great calamity.

This icy, moving voice crossed the uninhabited zone, reached the Three Emperors' Bulwark, spread throughout the Realm Sea, and echoed in the ears of every being in the Realm Sea!

Countless beings were thrown into panic by it.

And just as this voice fell,

on the other side of the uninhabited zone, rolling black mist surged forward like a black tide, inundating heaven and earth.

It is well known that the uninhabited zone is divided into the White Mist Zone, the Gray Mist Zone, the Black Mist Zone, and the Blood Mist Zone.

But now, that rolling black mist spread from deep within the uninhabited zone, surging toward this side of the Three Emperors' Bulwark.

And within that black mist, countless figures appeared.

They were the vast army of the Drought Demon tribe.

Although their numbers still cannot compare to those of the Devouring Tribe, at a glance they are also quite impressive.

The Drought Demon tribe has become the vanguard of this world's great calamity.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Mill in the depths of the uninhabited zone also began to move.

As it turned, unparalleled power crushed the void, causing the surrounding space to collapse.

Clearly, the Empress Drought Demon has already taken control of the World-Destroying Mill and begun moving it toward the Realm Sea.

The power of the World-Destroying Mill naturally needs no elaboration; its only flaw is that its speed is not particularly fast.

After all, this thing is a world-destroying superweapon; activating it requires supreme power.

Only an existence of Mythic Emperor level can wield it and unleash its power.

The entire uninhabited zone is filled with rolling black mist, and the Drought Demon army has also appeared.

The World-Destroying Mill is also gradually grinding forward.

On this side of the Nine Gates of the Three Emperors' Bulwark, naturally, they are on high alert.

The garrison troops of all the major passes, as well as the powerful experts from all factions of the Realm Sea, have all gathered together.

The defensive formations of the Three Emperors' Bulwark have also all been raised, their radiance brilliant, illuminating the myriad worlds.

One of the reasons for the establishment of the Three Emperors' Bulwark is to resist the invasion of the World-Destroying Mill.

At the Demon-Suppressing Pass,

the Mountain-Suppressing Great Emperor stood in the void, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, his expression carrying a hint of seriousness.

Also appearing in the void were the ancient ancestors of the Yun Imperial Clan, such as Yun Mogu.

Earlier, the family had already agreed to Jun Xiaoyao's plan.

His plan is also very simple.

That is, others would delay the World-Destroying Mill.

Jun Xiaoyao, meanwhile, would gather a group of people, secretly enter the interior of the World-Destroying Mill through special methods.

As for how to deal with the Empress Drought Demon, that is Jun Xiaoyao's matter.

This plan is very crazy.

It can even be said that Jun Xiaoyao is courting death.

But under Jun Xiaoyao's strong insistence, the Yun Imperial Clan could do nothing about him.

However, this plan has not been leaked.

And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao has already left the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

He arrived at one of the Nine Gates, the Yang Valley Pass.

The guardian of the Yang Valley Pass is none other than the Profound Yang Great Emperor, Huangfu XuanYang.

His descendant, Huangfu ChunJun, is also stationed here.

Between the Nine Gates, there are transmission formations for rapid mutual communication, which can also facilitate support during wartime.

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao stepped out of the transmission formation at the Yang Valley Pass, he immediately drew the attention of the guardians within the pass.

"Who is that, the Young Lord Yun Xiao?"

"What is he doing coming to my Yang Valley Pass?"

"The relationship between the Young Lord Huangfu and him is not exactly good..."

The Yang Valley Pass is naturally led by Huangfu XuanYang.

They naturally favor the Huangfu Imperial Clan.

And earlier, at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, Huangfu ChunJun wanted his father to take over the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

This led to a conflict with Jun Xiaoyao.

Therefore, it has come to this: the people of the Yang Valley Pass now hold some prejudice against Jun Xiaoyao.

Of course, prejudice is prejudice.

Jun Xiaoyao's current status and position, his cultivation and strength, are laid out here.

Moreover, he is still a quasi-emperor of great stature.

Naturally, no one seeking death would come forward to mock and provoke him.

"Is this how you, the Yang Valley Pass, treat your guests?"

Seeing those watching figures, Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled with a faint smile.

At this moment, a light laugh rang out.

"I never expected that the esteemed Young Lord Yun Xiao would actually grace the Yang Valley Pass with his presence—truly surprising."

A young man dressed in golden robes appeared, his hair crystalline, his features handsome, his bearing outstanding.

His pupils were crimson-gold, within which divine fire seemed to constantly flow and turn.

It was Huangfu Chunjun.

"Young Master Huangfu, you don't visit the Three Treasures Hall without reason; I came today, so naturally I have business."

Seeing Huangfu Chunjun appear, Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

"Oh?"

Huangfu Chunjun looked at Jun Xiaoyao, a flash of surprise and thought passing through his eyes.

Then he nodded slightly and said: "Alright, Young Master Yunxiao, please..."

Huangfu Chunjun made a gesture of invitation, leading Jun Xiaoyao to his private chambers.

Watching Huangfu Chunjun's back, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes also flashed with a dark gleam.

This Huangfu Chunjun truly lives up to his reputation as the Smiling Tiger.

Even back then at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, he lost face badly in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.

Yet now, he can still chat and laugh with him as if past conflicts meant nothing.

Such a person is actually the most troublesome.

Soon, Huangfu Chunjun brought Jun Xiaoyao into the palace interior, then dismissed the others.

"Young Master Yunxiao, please."

The two sat facing each other at the table.

Huangfu Chunjun brewed a pot of tea and poured it, handing it to Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao took it and glanced at the tea.

"What, Young Master Yunxiao, are you afraid I poisoned you?"

Seeing this, Huangfu Chunjun smiled faintly, then continued.

"Besides, Young Master Yunxiao can even dispel the Unbinding Immortal Curse; even if I really poisoned you, it would be nothing."

Jun Xiaoyao then smiled faintly and said: "Young Master Huangfu has a sense of humor."

"This tea is drawn from the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heart Spring, supplemented with semi-immortal-grade Xuan Gu tea leaves, and blended with eighteen kinds of saint-medicinal-grade auxiliary ingredients."

"Truly worthy of being the young master of the Huangfu Imperial Clan—this grade is indeed not low."

Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking, then drank the tea in one gulp.

Huangfu Chunjun's expression paused, then he chuckled helplessly.

"Young Master Yunxiao is also someone who loves and understands tea."

Jun Xiaoyao set down his teacup, smiling faintly: "Yun Mou has few hobbies—drinking tea, bathing, and massage, that's all."

"Alright, Young Master Yunxiao, what brings you here? Speak plainly."

After the formal pleasantries, Huangfu Chunjun got straight to the point.

He didn't think that, given Jun Xiaoyao's current status and strength, there was anything he needed help with.

Jun Xiaoyao said: "We did indeed have some friction before."

"But now, the Ba族 invasion is upon us, the World-Destroying Great Mill is about to roll forward, and the Black Calamity will manifest."

"In this situation, those earlier petty squabbles should hardly count for anything, right?"

Huangfu Chunjun's eyes darkened slightly, then he said: "Of course, so what?"

Jun Xiaoyao seemed to ponder and hesitate for a moment, then spoke hesitantly.

"Indeed, there is one matter: perhaps I have a way to draw the Empress Ba from the Black Calamity faction."

"What?!"

Huangfu Chunjun's expression shifted slightly, carrying a hint of astonishment.

"What, does Young Master Huangfu find this surprising?"

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fixed on Huangfu Chunjun.

Huangfu Chunjun paused, then also shook his head with a helpless laugh.

"It's only natural, after all, Young Master Yunxiao saying you can directly summon back the Empress Ba—this truly comes as a surprise."

"If the Empress Ba could so easily escape darkness, then she wouldn't have become the ancestor of the Ba族."
