Chapter 3601: Empress Xilian summons him, the true intention

Upon learning of this, a strange look appeared on Jun Xiaoyao's face.

Before coming to the Xi Clan, he had already heard of her.

This Empress Xilian was the current pillar of the Xi Clan and also the one with the highest cultivation base.

She had been in seclusion for many years.

Yet now, she wanted to summon him.

This was a bit interesting.

Obviously, Empress Xilian must have also heard about his identity as the Dark Realm Chosen One.

However, Jun Xiaoyao did not refuse.

As it happened, he also wanted to know what the situation with the Xi Clan really was.

Jun Xiaoyao, led by a Xi Clan Elder, arrived deep within the territory where the Xi Clan was located.

There, spiritual mist swirled, and immortal energy was abundant.

In the distance, spiritual peaks stood tall, and divine light shone.

"Young Master, please." The Xi Clan Elder stopped and waited in place.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm and composed; he nodded slightly and entered this area alone.

Between heaven and earth, Dao essence flowed, and strange rosy light permeated.

Feeling that faint aura.

A strange look appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

It seemed that this Empress Xilian of the Xi Clan was indeed not weak.

In this void, runes spewed, and Dao patterns flowed, seemingly transforming into an independent world.

In other words, in this place, all aura fluctuations could be isolated.

Even the outside world could not deduce anything.

"What does this Empress Xilian want to do..."

Jun Xiaoyao muttered in his heart.

His footsteps, however, did not stop.

Finally, after walking for a while.

Jun Xiaoyao's figure stopped.

In front of him was a lake like a mirror.

Strangely, this lake had no ripples at all, truly like a mirror.

And in the center of the lake.

A slender and graceful figure was sitting cross-legged.

That woman was in a hazy divine light, her face blurred, making it impossible to see clearly.

Only a pair of eyes were revealed, as clear as the lake here, seemingly able to see through the many illusions of the world.

Her dress spread out like a lotus, and endless rune light rain scattered.

Giving people a holy feeling.

This woman was Empress Xilian.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze sized her up, and then he bowed slightly.

"Greetings, Empress Xilian."

He could feel that this Empress Xilian was very strong.

Although her aura should be at the Supreme Realm of Emperors.

But she was even stronger than the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Not to mention compared to the aged Supreme Emperor like Old Ancestor Moluo.

Jun Xiaoyao felt that this Empress Xilian was an existence with hope of stepping into the near-god level.

No wonder she was the leader of the current Xi Clan.

"Who are you?"

Empress Xilian finally spoke, her voice clear and distant, giving people a feeling of being untraceable.

"Ye Junlin." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Junlin..."

Empress Xilian muttered, those clear and flawless eyes falling on Jun Xiaoyao.

Suddenly, Jun Xiaoyao felt a powerful force of prying.

Seemingly wanting to probe everything about him.

You must know, his current external identity was the Dark Realm Chosen One.

These rebel clans dared not easily touch him, fearing to touch the anger of the Dark Realm.

However, this Empress Xilian seemed not to have this worry.

"Such a rich aura of immortal matter."

Empress Xilian also revealed a hint of surprise.

That was the aura Jun Xiaoyao deliberately emitted through the Black Blood of the Heavens.

However, the next moment.

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly felt that the temperature between heaven and earth seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

The surface of the lake, originally so calm that not a single ripple stirred, immediately surged with towering waves.

Immeasurable runes rose, and the whole world seemed to transform into a cave heaven, sealing Jun Xiaoyao within it.

A suffocating pressure shrouded all directions.

Seeing this situation, Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, but his expression remained calm, without much ripple.

Empress Xilian, seeing Jun Xiaoyao's calm expression, also said, "Truly worthy of being the Dark Realm Chosen One."

"May I ask, Empress, what is the meaning of this?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

However, in Empress Xilian's eyes, a cold murderous intent emerged.

"To kill you."

"Kill me?"

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, a hint of interest emerged.

"Why?"

"Because you are the Dark Realm Chosen One."

Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently, "Empress Xilian, since your Xi Clan has already surrendered to the Dark Realm, do you still dare to take action against the Dark Realm's Chosen One?"

Empress Xilian's voice was faint, "If the Dark Realm's Chosen One grows up, the threat to the vast expanse in the future will be too great, so he must be eradicated."

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

Sure enough!

He had felt before that there was likely something suspicious about the Xi Clan.

As a former ally of the Jun Clan, no matter what, the Xi Clan shouldn't have betrayed them.

"By doing this, are you not afraid of being exposed and putting the Xi Clan in danger?" Jun Xiaoyao said again.

Empress Xilian's gaze was cold, "You have too many questions."

After speaking, Empress Xilian stretched out a fair and flawless jade hand, like a lotus stamen, with thousands of runes and mysteries flowing endlessly within it.

A palm suppressed down, carrying the powerful pressure of a supreme Emperor level.

And just as this move was suppressed toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Suddenly, Empress Xilian's jade hand stopped, and the offensive came to an abrupt end!

Because at this moment, another bloodline aura was rising on Jun Xiaoyao's body.

It was precisely the Jun Clan bloodline!

Empress Xilian, as the leader of the Xi Clan, was naturally no stranger to their former ally, the Jun Clan.

"You..."

Empress Xilian, whose expression had been calm and cold, carried a hint of surprise.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome and elegant face.

"Senior, if you take action, that would be hitting your own people." Jun Xiaoyao smiled indifferently.

After knowing Empress Xilian's true thoughts, he also revealed his identity.

The reason Jun Xiaoyao had asked many times before was to test Empress Xilian's thoughts and goals.

Now he could be sure that, not to mention how the Xi Clan was, at least Empress Xilian was not sincerely surrendering to the Dark Realm.

"How could it be, this bloodline of yours..." Empress Xilian frowned.

Jun Xiaoyao said, "This junior comes from the Jun Clan."

"Jun Clan..."

Empress Xilian's expression shook slightly.

Even with her temperament, upon hearing that Jun Xiaoyao came from the Jun Clan, waves rose in her heart.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao also explained the ins and outs.

After learning the whole story, Empress Xilian also sighed.

"Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Jun Clan." She muttered to herself.

The people of that family were all people with such courage and ability.

Jun Xiaoyao said, "Senior, regarding the Xi Clan..."

"I know, you have many questions." Empress Xilian sighed.

She also told him some things.

Actually, back then, the Xi Clan was severely damaged because they resisted the Dark Realm.

Even their clan lineage had the risk of extinction.

In order to save the Xi Clan from being cut off, they were forced to join the Dark Realm.

The vast expanse forces that surrendered to the Dark Realm back then.

Mostly only had two situations.

One was active surrender.

One was being forced by helplessness, with no other way but death if they didn't surrender.

The Xi Clan was obviously the latter.

Regarding this, Jun Xiaoyao had nothing to say.

Although from a moral standpoint, one should emphasize sacrificing one's life for righteousness and never surrendering to the enemy.

But when truly returning to reality, which force could do that?

You must know, these forces had been passed down for generations, how could they be willing to just disappear and turn into dust in history.

So Jun Xiaoyao had no intention of criticizing anything from a moral standpoint.

He instead raised another question.

"With the Dark Realm pressing so hard, are they not afraid that these forces forced to surrender will secretly rebel?"

It is said, don't use people you suspect, don't suspect people you use.

If these forces were forced to surrender to the Dark Realm.

How could the Dark Realm safely use them?

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Empress Xilian sighed slightly.

"The Dark Realm's methods are beyond your imagination."

After speaking, Empress Xilian raised her fair hand, and on the back of her hand, a black mark appeared, flowing with a thick aura of immortal matter.

"This is..." Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows.
