Chapter 4510: The Absence of the Jing and Yao Families, Causes and Consequences Before the God-Slaying Island

The entire hall was deathly silent.

Including the Tai family, the Cheng family, and even the Xing family, everyone's faces showed astonishment.

After all, Xing Qiong Dao Di is a true near-god-level powerhouse.

Such a powerhouse, looking across the entire vast starry sky, exists at the top tier.

Even if the Xing family is a vassal family of the Jun family.

But near-god-level powerhouses, even in the Jun family, hold an extraordinary status.

With Xing Qiong Dao Di's identity and realm, treating a junior like this is indeed unexpected.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a loss of prestige.

However, Xing Qiong Dao Di seems not to care about others' opinions.

Jun Xiaoyao, seeing this, also stood up and said: "Senior, there's no need for this."

Facing others' salutations, Jun Xiaoyao can be casual.

But facing Xing Qiong Dao Di, he cannot be so.

Not because he is a near-god-level powerhouse.

But because Jun Xiaoyao knows this old man once helped him.

"When I was in the Lingxu Tianhe, I once provoked a holy spirit force called the Qise Shengyu."

"At that time, a major figure from the Qise Shengyu should have acted against me."

"But in the end, it was blocked."

"I suppose it must have been you who acted, Senior." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Xing Qiong Dao Di said: "My Xing family, as a vassal family of the Jun family."

"Helping Young Master Jun resolve troubles is proper."

Hearing this, the heads of the Xing family and others suddenly understood.

No wonder the Xing family ancestral hall showed anomalies recently.

Xing Qiong Dao Di once swung a blade aura vast and magnificent, crossing the star river.

That is the reason.

"Senior helped me once without even appearing; I, the junior, should thank you more."

Jun Xiaoyao also slightly clasped his hands toward Xing Qiong Dao Di.

Such demeanor also made the heads of the several families present nod secretly.

They could see that Jun Xiaoyao's talent and cultivation are extraordinary.

Even among the Jun family, where evildoers are as numerous as clouds, he would definitely be a core figure.

Such a person, yet neither arrogant nor impatient, without the slightest arrogance.

Even toward these vassal families, there is no commanding air or lofty superiority.

This makes them feel very comfortable.

"Young Master is too polite." Xing Qiong Dao Di said.

He himself is also of extremely high seniority, his eyelashes even empty.

Ordinary pretense, he sees through at a glance.

But he can tell that Jun Xiaoyao's gesture is not deliberate, but genuine.

Just like before, that Jun family Sword God who also showed him a bit of recreative kindness.

"Please, Senior."

Jun Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve, and a seat appeared beside him.

Xing Qiong Dao Di also did not stand on ceremony, just sat down like that.

He looks like an old farmer in the mundane world.

On him, there is also no terrifying aura spreading out.

Yet he makes everyone present feel a subtle pressure.

Even the heads of the Tai and Cheng families dare not breathe too loudly.

Afterwards, time passed.

However, what caused the Tai, Cheng, and Xing families' heads to show subtle changes in expression was.

The remaining Yao and Jing families, however, had still not arrived.

Let alone heads of family level arriving.

Not even a messenger had come.

They obviously could not have not received the news.

So that means……

The heads of the three families exchanged glances.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that after such a long time.

The Jing and Yao families seem to have some grievances toward the Jun family.

Of course, among the five great families, such voices exist to some extent.

But in the Xing family, there is Xing Qiong Dao Di, this absolutely loyal elder ancestor to the Jun family.

So the entire Xing family is also the most loyal to the Jun family.

The Tai family is likewise.

As for the Cheng family, it's also acceptable.

But the Jing and Yao families' attitudes are somewhat delicate.

"Young Master Jun, this..." The head of the Tai family was about to speak.

Jun Xiaoyao simply waved his hand.

"No need to worry; that you all could come here has already moved me."

"After all, it has indeed been such a long time."

"Even if you have other thoughts, it is only natural."

Jun Xiaoyao did not mind.

Among the five families, having three so loyal already exceeded his expectations.

Rather, if the five great families were all wholeheartedly loyal to the Jun family, unwavering.

That would truly exceed Jun Xiaoyao's expectations.

However, Jun Xiaoyao is no great benevolent one.

Since those two families are not coming now.

Then, at that time, if Jun Xiaoyao finds a way to free them.

Then those two families will certainly not be excluded from the scope of liberation.

"The Jun family members are not currently in Cangmang."

"And I, Jun Xiaoyao, have come to the Island of Fallen Gods this time."

"Mainly, I also wish to see if I can help you escape the Island of Fallen Gods."

Upon Jun Xiaoyao's words, the faces of the people from the three great families present all changed.

However, it was not an expression of joy.

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes also flashed with a strange hue.

The head of the Tai family pondered for a moment, then said: "Young Master Jun's kindness, we have received it, but..."

"Oh, it seems you do not believe I can do it." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.

The head of the Xing family then said: "We do not distrust Young Master Jun."

"In fact, over these countless ages, we five great families have also tried countless times, but in the end..."

"Even the old ancestor himself..."

The head of the Xing family trailed off.

Jun Xiaoyao then turned his gaze to Xing Qiong Dao Di.

In fact, when Xing Qiong Dao Di appeared, Jun Xiaoyao had already sensed it.

Xing Qiong Dao Di bears not light injuries.

Xing Qiong Dao Di also said: "Young Master Jun is unaware."

"Previously, I too once led the people, wishing to go to the top-layer forbidden zone of the Island of Fallen Gods."

"But in the end, I was wounded by the residual mythic-level formation patterns within, and to this day have not healed."

Xing Qiong Dao Di's words also caused the people from the three great families present to sigh.

It is not that they do not believe in Jun Xiaoyao's ability.

Rather, even Xing Qiong Dao Di, such a near-divine powerhouse, struggles to lead the five families out of the Island of Fallen Gods.

Jun Xiaoyao's strength, even if great, is obviously still far from the near-divine level.

Moreover, they cannot even let their offspring leave.

This proves it is no longer mere entrapment, but a power akin to a curse.

If even Xing Qiong Dao Di cannot solve it, then no matter how monstrous Jun Xiaoyao is, could he really help them lift the curse?

Hearing these words, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes also revealed a hint of contemplation, and then he spoke.

"Could you tell me the full story?"

"Naturally." The head of the Tai family said.

Afterwards, several family heads also roughly explained the situation to Jun Xiaoyao.

Initially, the Island of Fallen Gods emerged in the chaotic void currents of the Nine Heavens Tianhe, attracting countless gazes.

Within it were various mysterious fluctuations and radiance.

Some speculated it might be the dojo of a supreme powerhouse.

Later, because that supreme powerhouse departed, the dojo drifted in the endless void.

And the geographical position of the Nine Heavens Tianhe just happened to connect many worlds and universes.

Thus, this dojo happened to emerge from the Li Yuan Tianhe.

Thereafter, all kinds of forces and troops began to enter this island.

The lowest continent is the most vast, while the middle-layer continent is a vast ancient trial ground, divided into different regions, with countless opportunities and treasures.

Many also come here to seek treasure.

But the five great families are naturally not satisfied.

They went to the top-layer forbidden zone.

There exists mythic-level rule power.

Also, there are many ancient relics.

It looks extremely ancient, not like something left by the powers of the Vast Starry Sky.

Rather, it resembles the style of ancient clans beyond the Vast.

And when the five great armies advanced into the top-layer forbidden zone, many casualties also occurred.

Finally, it is unknown whether they violated some taboo.

Or whether it is a hidden tactic left by the master of this dojo.

This is what caused the five major families, as well as all the powerful forces that entered the God-Slaying Island, to be completely trapped here.
