Chapter 274
Princess Long Ji's reputation in the Huangtian Immortal Realm was already beyond question, reaching the very peak.
Logically speaking, if Wang Chuan had not encountered Jun Xiaoyao and had safely reached the Immortal Realm,
his reputation would likely not be much weaker than Princess Long Ji's.
Yet such an ancient freak, comparable to Princess Long Ji, had become Jun Xiaoyao's slave.
This scene was somewhat dramatic.
"Brother Xiaoyao is too amazing; this is the first time I've seen something like this." Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes sparkled.
From ancient times until now, whenever an ancient freak emerged, they would invariably suppress the contemporary heaven's prides, even enslaving a batch of them.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao had done the opposite, enslaving an ancient freak.
And it was highly likely that Wang Chuan was just the beginning.
In the future, Jun Xiaoyao would continue to enslave or even kill other ancient freaks.
Princess Long Ji, for example, was a perfect target.
"Young Master." Wang Chuan bowed his head to Jun Xiaoyao, still feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it, though he felt helpless in his heart.
When one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head.
"Hmm, rest assured, this Divine Son is not so bored as to humiliate you for no reason. As long as you fulfill your promise, I will naturally remove the Slave Seal." Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
He did not have the habit of taking people as slaves.
Hmm, absolutely not.
It was just that in certain situations, he had no choice but to take them.
It was definitely not because he liked taking slaves that he did so.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Wang Chuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and bowed: "Many thanks, Young Master. However, the emergence of the treasury requires opportunity; when the time comes, I will naturally do my best to find it."
The Reincarnation Demon Sect's treasury could not be swallowed by Wang Chuan alone.
Giving it to the Jun Clan would at least allow him to receive the Jun Clan's protection.
By then, his Slave Seal could also be removed.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded; having planted the Slave Seal, he did not fear Wang Chuan playing any tricks behind his back.
With this, Jun Xiaoyao's goal in the lower realm was considered completely fulfilled.
Everything seemed so perfect.
Jun Xiaoyao's gains far exceeded his previous expectations.
It was as if Jun Xiaoyao had only needed a single tree, but in the end, he had obtained the entire forest.
"After wrapping up the loose ends in the lower realm, it's about time to return to the Immortal Realm," Jun Xiaoyao said.
The Ten Sinful Clans had been completely wiped out, but there was still some cleanup work to do.
"Brother Xiaoyao, Qingyi will take her leave now. I expect that before long, I will see Brother Xiaoyao display his divine might again in the Immortal Realm." Ji Qingyi greeted him before departing alone.
She was like a green lotus in a pond, standing aloof from the world.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's performance had caused a slight tremor in her heart, she remained calm overall.
In this Great Era of Contention, Jun Xiaoyao might be a brilliant new star, but he was definitely not the only one.
As the Saintess of the Renxian Sect, she still knew of some secrets.
When the time came, if possible, the Immortal Ancient would manifest.
All sorts of ancient freaks, descendants of Great Emperors, and young scions of Ancient Emperors would appear.
By then, would Jun Xiaoyao still be able to maintain his current transcendent, invincible posture?
It was hard to say.
Therefore, there was no great shock in Ji Qingyi's heart.
The one who laughs last is the winner.
Right now, the Great Era of Contention had only just begun.
Watching Ji Qingyi's departing back, Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was deep.
He always felt that Ji Qingyi seemed to know some secrets, which had caused her attitude toward him to change.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did not dwell on it.
Regarding this Ji Clan Goddess and Renxian Sect Saintess whom everyone admired, Jun Xiaoyao felt nothing.
His relationship with Ji Qingyi was also hard to categorize.
To call them friends was far from the truth.
To call them enemies was not quite there yet.
It was only because of the Ji Xuan incident that he had some grudges with the Ji Clan.
Yet Ji Qingyi had not shown him any direct hostility.
Since Ji Qingyi had not taken the initiative to target him, Jun Xiaoyao was naturally too lazy to stir up trouble.
Xiao Moxian did not leave; she looked at Wang Chuan and sighed inwardly.
She had originally wanted to recruit Wang Chuan to join the Demon Immortal Sect and then find a way to plot for the Reincarnation Demon Sect's treasury.
Now it seemed that was impossible.
Xiao Moxian could not possibly offend Jun Xiaoyao to death for the sake of a Wang Chuan.
"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao waved his sleeve.
Jiang Luoli, Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, and Wang Chuan all followed him.
Xiao Moxian's eyes rolled, and she also followed behind Jun Xiaoyao, wagging her tail.
"Why are you following us?" Jiang Luoli's large eyes were full of vigilance, like a little hen protecting her food.
"Oh my, don't be so vigilant. As the saying goes, we become friends through fighting; aren't we friends now?" Xiao Moxian blinked her eyes, looking pure and innocent.
"Who is friends with you? We aren't familiar at all." Jiang Luoli pouted.
Was she trying to get close to them?
Yi Yu and Yan Qingying were also speechless.
They had just been fighting back and forth with Xiao Moxian.
Yet now, Xiao Moxian's attitude had undergone a 360-degree turn.
However, they also knew that this change was all because of Jun Xiaoyao.
Being someone who could suppress an ancient freak with a wave of his hand, Xiao Moxian naturally did not want to be enemies with Jun Xiaoyao and the others.
"I just saw that Brother Xiaoyao has opened up his own path and wanted to discuss insights and explore the Great Dao together," Xiao Moxian said pitifully.
"Is that really so?" Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes revealed a look of suspicion.
"Of course. I want to know Brother Xiaoyao's length, and I also want him to know my depth," Xiao Moxian said earnestly.
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was somewhat strange.
Was he wearing colored glasses, or why did it feel a bit dirty?
However, Jun Xiaoyao replied: "That is entirely unnecessary. You cannot imagine my length."
"As for your depth... one can tell just by your height."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made Xiao Moxian freeze for a moment, her pretty face instantly turning red.
She thought her words had been very profound.
Yet she had encountered a master.
Xiao Moxian glared at Jun Xiaoyao, her pretty face filled with feigned anger: "Words are not proof. If Brother Xiaoyao doesn't try it out, how will you know my depth?"
"No need. I'm afraid that one step will reach your stomach and poke your lungs, and then the Demon Immortal Sect will come looking for trouble with me," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
Hearing this mysterious conversation, Jiang Luoli's large eyes revealed a look of confusion, her face looking dazed and cute.
Xiao Moxian's face turned as red as blood.
All along, it had been her teasing and mocking others.
Yet now, she had failed to tease and was instead teased back.
"Do you still want to say something?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"No... no more. Brother Xiaoyao, you are too bad." Xiao Moxian was somewhat embarrassed, her face red as she stammered.
She was truly afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would take a sudden interest, take her words seriously, and then do unspeakable things to her.
The kidneys of the Ancient Sacred Body were very famous, known as treasures that could fight for a long time without tiring.
If she were truly broken by Jun Xiaoyao, those big shots in the Demon Immortal Castle within the Demon Immortal Sect would definitely come looking for the Jun Clan.
Seeing Xiao Moxian left speechless, Jiang Luoli felt a sense of relief.
However, she turned her little head and asked Jun Xiaoyao with great thirst for knowledge: "Brother Xiaoyao, what does 'one step to the stomach' mean?"
Seeing Jiang Luoli's curious-baby look, Jun Xiaoyao coughed dryly.
"Don't ask, child. These are things only adults understand."
"Hmph... fine if you won't tell me. Luoli will figure it out herself," Jiang Luoli pouted.
Looking at Jiang Luoli's 1.5-meter height that had never grown, Jun Xiaoyao thought:
Jiang Luoli would probably understand what that term meant sooner or later.
Amidst such casual banter, Jun Xiaoyao and the others left the Ten Realms Rift.
And at the same time, in the Huangtian Immortal Realm, an explosive piece of news spread out.
The Jun Clan's Double-Pupil holder, Jun Lingcang, was going to face Princess Long Ji of the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
At Mount Wen Dao, they would launch a contest between top-tier heaven's prides.
With Jun Xiaoyao not yet returned to the Immortal Realm, the Jun Clan's First Sequence, Jun Lingcang, had stepped forward to fight for the Jun Clan's honor.
In this battle, who would win?
Would the Double-Pupil holder remain undefeated at the peak?
Or would the ancient freak suppress the contemporary era?
Many people were looking forward to it.
For a time, heaven's prides from all paths and forces from all directions began to set off, heading toward Mount Wen Dao.
This would be a rare, grand showdown that would pull back the curtain on the heaven's pride struggle!
